Chapter 22: Encountering Trouble Halfway
Translator: Dragon Boat Translation Editor: Dragon Boat Translation
On the night before they set off, A thought suddenly crossed Jiang Yu’s mind.
It seemed like he had missed the class reunion.
He didn’t have any feelings for that class. Most of the people there were only interested in profit, and he wasn’t close to anyone. Naturally, he didn’t have any regrets.
Then what was he going to do at the banquet? Looking for a sense of existence?
Jiang Yu suddenly regretted agreeing to this ordeal. Was he stupid?!
[Host, training will not make you stupid. When your body is purified, your intelligence is already higher than ordinary people.]
The system’s sudden voice sounded a little creepy in the night.
However, Jiang Yu was already used to the system’s presence and wasn’t frightened. He just couldn’t be bothered with it.
“Sleep.”
Jiang Yu said gloomily as he turned over. Thinking of his class, he actually felt a little irritated for a moment.
If he had known earlier, he wouldn’t have agreed.
[Host, if you can’t sleep, why don’t you meditate? You have nothing to do anyway, and meditation doesn’t consume your strength.]
The system reminded him. Jiang Yu felt that it made sense, so he lay flat on the bed and slowly entered a meditative state.
Something else suddenly appeared in his mind.
For example, his father strongly wanted him to inherit the family property, Lin Xiaoyuan’s different attitude towards him, the spiritual energy that the old Daoist priest felt, and the fact that the sword master was also an immortal cultivator… It seemed that many things had changed recently.
What did the revival of spiritual energy mean after a year?
Jiang Yu didn’t have any guesses for the time being, but he urgently needed to improve.
Before the recuperation of his reiki, he wanted to improve his physical fitness as much as possible.
He couldn’t protect everyone, but he could protect the people he cared about.
…
The next day, Jiang Yu opened his eyes on time, and he didn’t feel tired at all.
He immediately tidied himself up and dressed informally.
After all, this was just a class reunion and not a morning negotiation. There was no need to dress so elegantly.
So when he was about to leave the villa, the butler, who was still recommending all kinds of clothes to him, stopped him in shock.
“Young Master, where are you going? You haven’t changed into the clothes I prepared for you!”
“I’m going down the mountain,” replied Jiang Yu calmly.
‘What? Going down the mountain, wearing that? Young Master, are you kidding me?’
“Young Master, aren’t you going to attend a banquet?” The butler shouted in disbelief. “No matter what, you have to wear a suit. It’s too casual to wear this. It doesn’t suit your identity…”
The butler trailed off when he noticed Jiang Yu’s cold gaze.
The butler immediately began to reflect on whether he had said anything wrong.
There didn’t seem to be anything wrong with what he said just now.
“I’m not going to a meeting. Why should I wear a suit? How annoying.”
It was uncomfortable to wear those clothes. Besides, it was just a class reunion, so there was no need to dress so formally.
In the end, the butler didn’t insist and left with Jiang Yu.
Jiang Yu went down the mountain accompanied by his bodyguards.
Of course, he did not actually walk down the mountain. He went down by sitting in the backseat of the car. It should’ve been a quick and smooth drive, but someone up there must’ve had some other plan.
The car had not driven for long when it stopped halfway. The driver got out of the car to check and said that the engine was broken.
‘Is this a sign? Will there be a bloody disaster today?’ Jiang Yu wondered.
[Aiyo, host, what has your little brain been thinking about all day? What bloody disaster? That’s impossible.]
The system immediately retorted, [You are a cultivator! It’s impossible for you to get injured that easily!]
“You’d better shut up. It’s so noisy.” Jiang Yu stuffed his ear with his fingers. “I’m in the car. This car is very sturdy. Bullets can’t even penetrate the walls. What danger can I be in?”
At this moment, the butler was a little nervous and said, “Young Master, please don’t get out of the car.”
What was going on? Something in the butler’s tone seemed to say something else.
Just as he was about to ask, Jiang Yu saw a car suddenly blocking their way.
He looked back and saw a car parked behind them.
His car was surrounded.
Under such circumstances, it was impossible for Jiang Yu not to notice that something was wrong.
“Tell me, what happened?” He asked in a deep voice. “How many things are you hiding from me?”
If he had not gone out today, he would not have known.
He had only been cultivating in the courtyard of the villa for half a month, and there were more bodyguards in place than before.
He was in a hurry to attend the banquet today, so he didn’t ask. He had wanted to ask about the situation once he returned.
However, with how things were heading… He had to figure out the situation now.
The butler had planned to keep it a secret, but Mr. Jiang did not want him to tell him the real situation of the company.
“Recently, Mr. Jiang has acquired a company. The other party has gone all out and wants to fight to the death. Mr. Jiang has also been targeted, so Mr. Jiang sent some people to protect you, Young Master.”
No, that doesn’t sound right.
His father had bought more than one company, especially in recent years.
Coupled with the importance he attached to inheriting the family business, Jiang Yu felt that things weren’t that simple.
However, now was not the time to think about this. He looked at the men who were rushing out. Then he smiled.
“Hmph, alright. Since that’s the case, let this Young Master come and introduce himself,” Jiang Yu got out of the car immediately.
The butler was very shocked and even suspected that he had heard wrong.
Was he going deaf? Surely the Young Master did not want to beat up more than ten men on his own… Right?
The Young Master could win unscathed in a one-on-one battle like the fight in the villa.
But it was a whole other story when you’re up against more than ten people at once! Could the Young Master do it alone?
However, by the time the butler reacted, Jiang Yu was already out of the car.
When they saw Jiang Yu, they burst into laughter.
“So you’re Old Man Jiang’s precious son! As long as we kidnap you, we can squeeze that company for anything. Brothers, go!”
Jiang Yu rubbed his wrist.
He was not worried at all. After all, he was an immortal cultivator and was stronger than these ordinary people. Besides, his cultivation level was not low. This would be an easy win.
They rushed forward like a swarm of bees.
The bodyguards all had some skills and were very strong. If Jiang Yu didn’t cultivate, he really wouldn’t be able to withstand them.
Jiang Yu immediately grabbed the first person who rushed up and threw him fiercely, directly throwing the others down.
As for the person who was caught, he was naturally thrown out.
“Humph! A bunch of trash wants to kidnap me? When you get to the station, don’t forget to tell me all the information about your employer.”
Jiang Yu clapped his hands and ordered the remaining bodyguards to arrest them and send them to the police station.
The butler stood beside the car, his eyes wide open in shock. He did not make a sound for a long time.
This… How did the Young Master become so powerful? He didn’t seem to be that strong before he started practicing the sword… Or was his memory getting the better of him?
The Young Master had been cultivating in the villa’s courtyard for fifteen days. How could he become so strong in such a short amount of time?
The butler suddenly felt that he had missed something very important.
