Chapter 54

Having successfully completed the C-class mission of "Killing Jia Lao San and Incorporating the Six Harmonies Society," Yang Yu felt that he was about to get rich. He successfully obtained a chance to draw a prize and 300 exchange points.

Now, he had 570 exchange points, and a sense of wealth spontaneously arose. As the saying goes, with food in hand, one doesn't panic when faced with problems. 570 exchange points were enough for him to indulge for a while.

However, it wasn't quite like that. There were still a few mouths waiting for him to feed. Han Hu and Sun Xiaoran were about to perfect their Luohan Fist, so the two Qi-Inducing Pills were inevitable. And he himself also needed to exchange for a Yuan-Enhancing Pill, which would cost 120 exchange points.

Suddenly, he felt like he was still a pauper.

Su Qi no longer came back to live, as taking over the Six Harmonies Society was enough to keep him busy. Yang Yu began to practice his breathing exercises, while Tietou, holding the Bone-Washing Pill, was reluctant to swallow it. Seeing him lick it with his mouth for a long time, Yang Yu found it truly disgusting, so he forced Tietou to swallow the Bone-Washing Pill.

Ding dong!

Someone was knocking on the door. Yang Yu, seeing Tietou fully absorbing the Bone-Washing Pill, had to go and open the door himself.

"Liuxuan!"

Yang Yu looked at the person standing at the door in disbelief. How could it be him? Old Master Liu really intended to let Liuxuan follow him.

"Brother Yu, I'm here to report in," Liuxuan said with a smile.

Yang Yu nodded: "Come in. Does your grandfather really intend for you to follow me? This isn't a joke. It's dangerous to be by my side. You might die without even realizing it. You should think about it again."

Hearing Yang Yu say this, Liuxuan looked surprised, but he quickly smiled again: "With Brother Yu protecting me, how could I die? Grandfather said you are very capable, and I trust Grandfather and you."

Yang Yu nodded, then his eyes suddenly turned cold, and a bone-chilling aura spread. With one hand, he tightly grabbed Liuxuan's neck: "Tell me honestly, was it you who sent me the text message at the villa? Was it intentional that you drove Xueyao's car?"

Yang Yu had been wanting to ask this question for a long time.

With his neck being choked, Liuxuan's breathing became more and more rapid. He was like a warrior facing a great enemy, his body bent into a bow, ready to spring. This was a counterattack technique in martial arts.

"I knew you weren't simple, and you have some skills, but you're still too inexperienced." Yang Yu, on the contrary, felt happy.

"What do you want to do? Yang Yu, don't repay kindness with enmity." Liuxuan exclaimed, feeling the terrifying force on his neck, as if it could snap at any moment.

Yang Yu inwardly laughed. The Bone Separating Hand was indeed extraordinary. Liuxuan had no chance of breaking free. The more he struggled, the harder it was to breathe.

"It seems you admit it." Yang Yu stared intently at Liuxuan's eyes.

The eyes are the windows to the soul. He believed that if Liuxuan lied, it would immediately show in his eyes, and he could get his answer in an instant.

"Yes, it was me," Liuxuan said with hatred. "Yu Zemin had sinister intentions towards the Liu family. I saw you dragging him on the second-floor surveillance. To help you kill him, I sent you the text message. Is there anything else you want to ask? I can tell you everything."

"You're sensible." Yang Yu nodded and then asked, "Don't you hate Xueyao? Why did you drive her car? Weren't you afraid of dying?"

Liuxuan fell silent, a hint of warmth flashing in his eyes.

"I do hate them, but if it weren't for them, my parents and grandmother wouldn't have gone to them, and the car accident wouldn't have happened. But for Liu Xueyao, I can't bear to hate her. She is a good person, a very good person." Liuxuan's eyes were slightly moist.

Yang Yu let go of Liuxuan.

"Ever since she came to Jinghai City, she has been taking care of me. When I lost a car race and someone demanded my arm, I was scared. It was then that she saved me, her frail body frightening many people away." Liuxuan was lost in deep memories.

Yang Yu was surprised. Liu Xueyao had such courage.

"She helped me a lot. When I lost at gambling, she paid off my debts. When I was beaten up, she would confront the people who did it, even though she couldn't fight them. She always stood up for me. When I was in detention, she was the only one who brought me food every day, even my grandfather didn't care. When I had a parent-teacher meeting at school, my grandfather thought I was a disgrace and didn't want to go, but she went and faced the cold stares of others..."

As he spoke, Liuxuan cried.

Yang Yu also shed tears. He didn't know Liu Xueyao had such a past, and that she could move someone like Liuxuan.

After a silence of several minutes, Yang Yu said, "From now on, you'll follow me. As long as I have a meal, you won't starve. I won't let your grandfather down."

Hearing this, Liuxuan said, "My grandfather is almost dead. I don't want to go against his wishes. I can pretend to follow you now, but after he passes away, we'll go our separate ways. But don't use this to threaten me, and don't betray Liu Xueyao, or I'll kill you."

Yang Yu looked at Liuxuan and nodded: "As you wish."

Liuxuan then smiled and took out a stack of papers from his pocket: "This is what my grandfather asked me to give you. This is his last wealth, which he originally planned to use as his burial ground, but he changed his mind, so it's useless now."

Yang Yu took the stack of papers and casually flipped through them, but he was soon dumbfounded. It wasn't ordinary; it was a land deed, a deed for a mountain.

"Daqing Mountain!" Yang Yu exclaimed. "I heard it was sold to a businessman ten years ago. The businessman planned to develop real estate and build detached villas on the mountain, but the location was too remote and the transportation was inconvenient. After developing a dozen villas, none of them have been sold, and the place has almost become a wasteland."

Liuxuan knew about this. Daqing Mountain was backed by the sea, forming a right-angled triangle. Apart from a few towering trees, it had no value at all. With the development of modern industry, it had been isolated and uninhabited, becoming a wasteland.

"Grandfather spent a hundred million to buy Daqing Mountain twenty years ago. Back then, a hundred million was very valuable. Unfortunately, it had no scenery, no minerals, and the real estate development failed. The transportation was poor, and it was rarely visited. Now, apart from a dozen bare villas, it has become a barren land," Liuxuan said.

"It's indeed a desolate place. But Daqing Mountain is by the sea, and watching the sunrise is nice. I heard it's almost a thousand meters high. Is that true?" Yang Yu asked casually, already feeling excited.

"About that! The view from the top is nice, but apart from watching the sunrise, it has no tourist value. It's estimated that to develop Daqing Mountain, at least a hundred billion would be needed, with twenty billion just for the roads. The potential earnings are minimal, so no one would develop it. Grandfather was unlucky and was deceived."

A desolate mountain, with a dozen ready-made villas.

Yang Yu was moved. This could be the perfect base for the Hua Tian Sect. The more remote the location, the better for the disciples to practice in peace. And Daqing Mountain, backed by the sea, would be a great advantage.

"What do you think? Do you want it? Grandfather gave you a mountain before he died. Don't let him down," Liuxuan said, frowning.

Giving him a mountain.

It was like a gift in the snow. Yang Yu was extremely excited. With such a place, the Hua Tian Sect would have a base and could officially become a true martial arts sect.

"Thank your grandfather for me. I'll take Daqing Mountain," Yang Yu said sincerely.

Liuxuan didn't understand why Yang Yu was so excited, but seeing him accept the gift from his grandfather, he didn't say more and left. Before leaving, Yang Yu told Liuxuan to call him if anything happened. He had already found Yang Yu's number at the Chunyu Villa, or he wouldn't have sent the text message.

"Master, do you plan to make Daqing Mountain the sect's base?" Tietou, who had woken up at some point, asked, sounding incredulous. For a sect to develop, a base was essential. Starting from scratch, using Daqing Mountain as a base was a significant step forward.

"Why not? The Hua Tian Sect won't just be a few of us. One day, the disciples of the Hua Tian Sect will be spread across every corner of the world," Yang Yu said with a grand statement.
