Chapter 246 - Perfect Candidate

This Sun Jingyi, on the other hand, seemed a little more troublesome than even Song Lingshan... Who was, at the very least, honest and straightforward. Jingyi was an absolute fox in comparison...

Jingyi exploded from what Lin Yi was throwing at her- people were lining up to have her come to them for help!! Wu Chentian, for example! She didn’t even think about him and went straight to Lin Yi all on her own, only to be called troublesome!!

“Fine, but I don’t care- I’m gonna come find you if I need your help next time.” Jingyi said shamelessly.

Lin Yi didn’t respond to that- she could come find him all he wanted, but he’d only bother if he was in the mood for it.

Jingyi dropped him off at the food street behind the school- Lin Yi made sure to wait for her to leave completely before walking back.

Zhong Pinliang was with a lawyer as he entered Heibao’s specialized hospital room.

“Heibao Bro!” Pinliang couldn’t believe what he was seeing- Heibao was completely wrapped up in bandages; he couldn’t move at all!

Heibao smiled- who’d have thought a golden class end phase like him would get beat up like this, with all his meridians destroyed? What a joke.

It was because of this that Heibao wasn’t supervised by any officers- other than the lawyer, there wasn’t anyone else there.

This sort of thing, after all, was still under Zhong Fabai’s range of influence- arranging an isolated meeting with Heibao like this wasn’t beyond his capabilities.

“Master Zhong... you came......” A sad smile formed faintly on Heibao’s lips as he looked at Pinliang. “I’ve underestimated him... too much. Didn’t think that Lin Yi would be that strong- like me, he’s reached the golden class end phase......”

“What? He’s at the golden class end phase??” Fabai was quite taken aback at the information. “Heibao, is this true?”

“Boss, there’s no reason for me to lie ‘bout stuff like that now, right?” Heibao smiled bitterly. “That’s why, boss, Master Zhong... I’d advise you not to touch Lin Yi until you have a surefire method of dealing with him... You’re not at his level...”

Heibao’s words were ugly, but loyal truth never was- both Zhong Fabai and Zhong Pinliang understood that. Indeed, Heibao’s words rang true.

Fabai wasn’t too concerned with Lin Yi- he wasn’t very involved with him at all, and didn’t really care about taking him down... Pinliang, on the other hand, froze at what Heibao had said- Lin Yi was an enemy he absolutely had to remove!!!

The humiliation he’d suffered that night.. It came from Ruoming, but it’d been caused by Lin Yi! That red belt mark on his ass still stung even now! He clenched his fists at the memory. “Heibao Bro, you don’t know this, but the humiliation I’ve suffered that day wasn’t too far away from yours!”

“Ha? Master Zhong, you’re really thinking of removing Lin Yi?” Heibao Bro smiled all of a sudden as he looked at Pinliang strangely.

“Of course, Heibao Bro! Do you have any ideas?” Pinliang assumed the smile meant Heibao had thought of something.

“Yes, but....” Heibao stopped talking as he looked at the people in the room.

“You go out first!” Fabai said with a wave of his hand to the lawyer- he was the only outsider here, and even if he was a trusted man who’d always worked for him, Fabai knew that what Heibao was planning to say was best kept as secretive as possible.

“Yes, boss!” The lawyer understood well whenever he’d work for Zhong Fabai- he never listened to stuff he shouldn’t be listening to.

Heibao’s face grew solemn after the lawyer left. “Master Zhong- the only way to have your revenge is to improve yourself- get stronger, and go past the golden class peak end phase!! That’s the only way! Golden class peak end phase... a man at that level isn’t just someone you take down with numbers anymore- any regular gangster you send at him in groups would all just die.”

“Get stronger?” Pinliang paused. “Heibao Bro, are you saying that even I can get strong like that, and raise myself to the golden class peak end phase and even higher?”

“That’s right!” Heibao nodded. “But to gain something, you need to lose something in exchange...... After you start training in the secret arts of my sect, you won’t be able to be with women anymore- it’d disperse and dispel your power, and will result in life threatening consequences.”

“Ah? No women?” Pinliang froze as he started thinking. What the fuck? I wanna kill Lin Yi because he’s stopping me from getting Chu Mengyao!! What the fuck would I kill him for if I can’t touch women anyway?”

“That’s right!” Heibao said. “This was why I couldn’t lead a life like that in my younger years- it was why I ran from the sect without anything much other than the chant for boosting my power level temporarily to the golden class end phase... I got to the peak end phase because I had basic foundations in martial arts.”

“If you were at the golden class peak end phase to begin with, then by using this chant you’d be able to get to the mystic class mid phase!! This method should only be for special circumstances, since it only lasts for a month or two. You’d also lose five years of your life on top of that, so it’s something like a last resort. But it’s the only way you’d be able to deal with Lin Yi... Otherwise you’d just end up like me, losing to him even at the golden class peak end phase.”

“Ah..? But... no women......” Pinliang felt that there would be no meaning at all to his life with a restriction like that!! It’d be fine if he could just train and do what Heibao said, kill Lin Yi, and disperse all that strength later... But it turned out that his life would be in danger if he messed up! Wasn’t that too much?”

“Master Zhong, that’s all I have to say. I owe boss a big debt of gratitude, so I’m telling you all this before I get sent to prison. As for what you decide on doing... I won’t be interfering in that!” Heibao said. “If you do decide on following through, then head to Springstar Mountain... Tell them it’s Heibao who sent you. My older sect brother there is now the sect head... I may be a forsaker, but he won’t turn you down!”

“Springstar Mountain? What kind of mountain is that?” Pinliang wasn’t too good with geography, and he’d never even heard of the mountain, let alone some sect there.

“I’ll draw you a detailed map.” Heibao said. “Of course, if you have someone you can absolutely trust, you can also have him go in your stead- he’d be able to take out Lin Yi for you after his training. Both you and I would have our revenge then! I’m saying all this because I hope that, Master Zhong, you’d be able to avenge me too!!”

“Someone I can trust?” Pinliang frowned, but a face came to mind- he could send him!! Zhong Pinliang remembered Zhang Naipao!!

Wasn’t he a perfect candidate??
