After Yang Qi's repeated questioning, he finally found out why Xie Guangyao was so afraid of Mr. Xu. It turned out that it was because Xie Guangyao was beaten by Mr. Xu when he was a child.
Children are all naughty, and Xie Guangyao is no exception. Although Mr. Xu and Mr. Xie have different political views, they have a good relationship in private. Therefore, when Xie Guangyao was young, he was too naughty and Mr. Xie was reluctant to teach him a lesson, so Mr. Xu did it for him.
Obviously, this incident left a big shadow in Xie Guangyao's heart, so much so that until now, Xie Guangyao would not take the initiative to meet Mr. Xu unless it was necessary.
"Fatty, how about we go see my grandpa together?" Xu Ling said with a chuckle as he looked at Xie Guangyao in the car.
Upon learning that Yang Qi was coming, Xu Ling originally planned to pick up Yang Qi directly, but Yang Qi chose to come with Xie Guangyao. Therefore, as soon as the two of them arrived in front of the villa, Xu Ling came out to greet them in person. However, when he thought that Xie Guangyao was afraid of his grandfather, Xu Ling could not help but make fun of him.
Xie Guangyao was afraid of Old Xu, but not Xu Ling. Hearing the other party's teasing, he immediately sneered, "Xu, what are you laughing at? If you have the guts, go find my sister."
Hearing Xie Guangyao's words, Xu Ling's face darkened, and the corner of his mouth twitched fiercely. When Xie Wei was a child, she followed Mu Yan to learn martial arts. Although it was some superficial punches and kicks, she relied on her own martial arts to be the big sister among them. At that time, Xu Ling was bullied by Xie Wei. So much so that even now, Xu Ling is also afraid of Xie Wei!
“These two guys, they really are friends since childhood…” Seeing this scene, Yang Qi smiled in his heart. No wonder the two of them were so stubborn before. Their relationship was caused by the psychological trauma left over from their childhood.
In the end, Xie Guangyao still did not enter the Xu family mansion, but Yang Qi entered the villa under the leadership of Xu Ling.
"Middle stage of dark energy!"
Yang Qi's eyes focused. When he entered the villa, he felt that there was a warrior at the middle stage of Dark Energy inside the villa, standing in the lobby of the villa. If he guessed correctly, this person was Xu Ling's grandfather, Old Xu!
“Mr. Xu seems to be about the same age as Mr. Xie, but his health is much better than Mr. Xie’s. It turns out that he is a martial artist at the dark energy level.” Yang Qi said secretly in his heart.
Logically speaking, both of them were people from that era, had similar experiences, and were not young anymore, so it was impossible for their bodies to be so different. But after discovering that Old Xu actually had the cultivation level of Dark Energy, Yang Qi immediately understood the key.
The cultivation of the Dark Power level is considered to be the top power in the secular world. The heads of some major sects are almost at the middle Dark Power level. Old Xu is much older than ordinary warriors, and his cultivation may have deteriorated. If it is Old Xu in his prime, his strength is definitely not lower than the late Dark Power level!
“With Mr. Xu’s cultivation level, it shouldn’t be difficult for him to teach the Xu family’s children how to practice, but Xu Ling doesn’t have any cultivation level at all?” Yang Qi raised his eyebrows, becoming more and more puzzled.
If it was said that Xu Ling's father's generation was unable to teach them cultivation due to the unstable situation, Yang Qi could still understand it. However, when Xu Ling was born, it was already the era when China was opening up to the outside world. It was really easy to teach Xu Ling cultivation.
Although he was very puzzled, Yang Qi quickly followed Xu Ling to the hall. In the middle of the hall, a sturdy old man was sitting on the sofa. Although he looked much older than he did on TV, Yang Qi recognized him at a glance. This man was Old Xu.
"Mr. Xu." Yang Qi bowed. Since the other party was a warrior, there was no need for him to greet Mr. Xu with the courtesy of ordinary people.
"Mr. Yang, please take a seat." Mr. Xu returned the greeting and continued, "I'm sorry to have invited Mr. Yang here this time. I hope you won't mind."
"Mr. Xu, you're joking. It's my honor to have the opportunity to meet Mr. Xu. My hometown is Tongzhou, and Mr. Xu fought with us in the past." Yang Qi said hurriedly.
Hearing this, Mr. Xu's face showed a touch of nostalgia, and he said with emotion, "Tongzhou, I haven't been back for many years."
Back then, Old Xu followed Taizu to conquer the world and traveled all over China. Tongzhou was one of the places where he stayed for a relatively long time, and he has a deep affection for it.
"Mr. Xu is in good health. If you are interested, you can go to Tongzhou to take a look. Tongzhou has undergone significant changes over the years." Yang Qi chuckled.
Old Xu nodded slightly. With his physical condition, it would not be difficult for him to go to Tongzhou. However, due to his special status, if he went to Tongzhou, the local government would definitely mobilize a large number of troops, which he did not want to see.
Xu Ling had left without knowing when. Old Xu looked at Yang Qi and said slowly, "Mr. Yang must be wondering why I invited you to come here for a while, right?"
"It's a little strange." Yang Qi nodded, but did not hide his thoughts.
After all, he and the Xu family did not have any friendship, and the fact that he was able to give a pendant to Xu was because of his many years of service to the country and the people. Otherwise, Yang Qi would not have given him even a pendant.
Old Xu looked at Yang Qi and said with a smile, "Are you interested in listening to a story from me?"
Yang Qi was stunned for a moment, then nodded slightly. Mr. Xu had spent so much effort to invite him here, it definitely wouldn't be as simple as just telling him a story.
"For decades, China has been in turmoil..." Old Xu said slowly.
Following Old Xu's words, Yang Qi gradually understood the protagonist of the story. He was a poor farmer's son. Because his family was too poor, he could only join Shaolin Temple to make a living. This farmer's son had a strong talent for martial arts. After more than ten years in Shaolin Temple, he relied on some external kung fu to practice to the level of dark energy. Later, China was in chaos, and the righteous young man joined in.
In that turbulent era, the young man continued to grow, and eventually became Taizu's right-hand man, leading China to a new life.
After listening to Old Xu's story, Yang Qi looked at him and said, "If I'm not mistaken, this Shaolin lay disciple should be Old Xu, right?"
"Yes, I am indeed the protagonist of this story." Old Xu nodded slightly.
"I wonder what Mr. Xu's purpose in telling this story is?" Yang Qi asked.
Elder Xu glanced at Yang Qi, and then said solemnly, "I have something I would like to ask Mr. Yang for help."
"Ask me for help?" Yang Qi was stunned. He never thought that Old Xu had been asking for his help for so long. But with the Xu family's status, what else could they not do in the secular world? They actually needed his help
"I already know that Old Ghost Xie is able to practice cultivation. I would like to ask Mr. Yang for help to help Xu Ling embark on the path of cultivation." Old Xu said in a deep voice.
Let Xu Ling embark on the path of cultivation
Yang Qi raised his eyebrows, looked at Old Xu in astonishment, and immediately asked the question in his mind, "Old Xu, why didn't you teach Xu Ling how to practice when he was young?" (To be continued)
