Chapter 12: A Gentleman Can Be Killed but Not Humiliated

  "My name is Xiao Tian, thank you Zhang Chong." The young man named Xiao Tian, seeing Zhang Chong's generosity, also stood up and bowed to him.

  Then the three of them started eating heavily. Zhang saw that Xiao Tian's appetite was enormous, and the food was clearly not enough, so he beckoned to the waiter and exchanged all the remaining money for more dishes.

  As for how to spend the next two days, he didn't have much worry, weren't there still paper talismans? Selling them would make him a rich man.

  Thinking of this, Zhang Chong couldn't help but feel a surge of pride. He could see that the young man named Xiao Tian, who had just bowed to him, was truly respectful. And the relationship between Xiao Tian and his father made Zhang Chong feel infinitely envious.

  "Xiao Tian, in the future if I have a piece of meat to eat, I will definitely give you half of it."

  After hearing this, Xiao Tian's face, who was eating with his head down, also looked up and smiled at Zhang Chong, while his father was so excited that he burst into tears, saying...

  "Thank you so much, Zhang Xiaoxia."

  Listening to this heartfelt thank you, Zhang Chong felt that he didn't deserve to be called a young hero, but he also secretly made a decision.

  "My fate is in my own hands, not in the heavens. Although I'm just a helpless orphan, I must live a good life. Not only do I want to live well myself, but also with friends by my side. It's not just about eating at this small restaurant, but also going to [Shuǐyúnzhāi] to enjoy fine wine and meat. And I won't be kicked out by the waiter." Thinking of this, his chest swelled with boundless pride.

  At this moment, although they had just met, Zhang Chong already treated him as his closest friend.

  He also envied Xiaotian, who had a father who loved him so much. Unfortunately, he himself didn't even know who his parents were.

  Thinking of this, Zhang Chong's nose suddenly turned sour and he almost cried again.

  Before long, the three of them had cleaned up all the dishes on the table. Each person's face was flushed with a satisfied expression.

  "Alright, Father, let's go to Changsheng Gate now." Little Tian stood up and bid farewell to his father.

  "What?" Zhang Chong was greatly surprised, "Why is it today? Didn't they say three days later?"

  "It's been three days." Xiao Tian said seriously.

  "It's already been four days today."

  In Zhang Chong's heart, it was as if he had been heavily hammered, and only then did he realize that no wonder he felt so hungry. It turned out that in his dream, three days had already passed. This dream was really long.

  At this time, there was no way to let him have the time to return to his thatched cottage. Thinking of this, Zhang Chong subconsciously touched various parts of his body, but the Sleep Dream Scripture had already disappeared without a trace.

  "What about that book?" Zhang Chong thought to himself, he was a bit suspicious whether he had rushed out too hastily and left the book at home.

  Apart from this, there shouldn't be anything valuable to bring along.

  However, that "Sleep Dream Heart Scripture" was lost, and Zhang Chong didn't mind. He originally didn't consider it a treasure, at least from what he could see now, it hadn't brought him any benefits.

  It's actually Changshengmen, it's not easy to get in, so don't waste this opportunity.

  Thinking of this, he bid farewell to his father with Xiao Tian and walked towards the Longevity Gate.

  At this time, people going to Changshengmen had already been endless, Zhang Chong and Xiao Tian mixed in the crowd, walking slowly forward without haste.

  Some rich young masters, just the entourage of seeing off, have as many as dozens of people, crowding the road in front of Changsheng Gate. However, more are like Zhang Chong and Xiao Tian, who came alone.

  However, inside Changsheng Gate, only disciples were allowed to enter. Zhang squeezed to the gate and handed over the token of passage to the guard before entering.

  Inside the gate, it suddenly became much more spacious than outside. Last time was because of the selection, Zhang Chong's whole body was tense, and he wouldn't look at the surrounding scenery either.

  But this time was different, his mood was great, humming a tune, looking around, walking slowly forward. And Xiao Tian followed closely behind him.

  "Changsheng Gate is indeed the number one demonic gate in Dayang Realm, it's really magnificent." Zhang Chong couldn't help but admire and praise the scenery on both sides.

  Just at this moment, a figure flashed in front of him, leaving him unprepared, and he bumped into it head-on.

  "Sorry." Zhang Zhong scolded himself in his heart for only paying attention to the scenery and forgetting to watch the road, while also apologizing repeatedly.

  And right in front of him, the iron tower-like figure, which was three times Zhang's size, didn't budge after being hit and showed no intention of retreating.

  "Hey, isn't that the good-for-nothing?" A lazy voice came from behind the iron tower, and with this sentence, a figure flashed out from behind the iron tower.

  That person was also extremely fat, and when he walked, the fatty meat on his face would shake back and forth. At a glance, he looked like a rich young master. People like him who come here, their strength is mostly brought up by taking some spiritual grains and medicines. And when it's time to really fight, there will be someone under him to take action, but he himself won't be used.

  Coming here is also a kind of social channel among the rich, and it can even establish a connection with the Mozu tribe. With these connections, their relationships in the Yang Realm are even more solid.

  That iron tower-like robust man was obviously this person's subordinate, and behind this person, there were four or five people following, no need to say, all of them were the roles accompanying the prince in reading books.

  Zhang Chong saw this situation, his face was also smiling, but he was fully alert in his heart. He knew that this kind of person was not to be trifled with.

  "You're Zhang Chong, right? Hmm, good skills." The man lightly clapped his hands twice and then said,

  "What was that last move of yours called again? Was it Double Wrist Strike?"

  He said this and his subordinates also burst into loud laughter in perfect coordination. After the laughter subsided, he continued to say,

  "Unfortunately, I didn't see much of it that day either. How about this, you take another chop and let me have a look."

  By this time, someone had already brought a piece of bluestone up.

  Seeing this scene, Zhang Chong's smile on his face also stiffened. He did not expect that the man would come up and directly provoke him.

  "This one, I have hand pain today, another day then."

  Zhang Zhong thought for a moment, unable to fight back, but able to dodge. After saying this, he wanted to rush over to the side.

  However, the man's hands were firmly blocking the way.

  "Master Luo Ding has taken a liking to your ultimate skill today, it's an honor for you, why do you want to change the day?"

  "My hand hurts, just right, it will break faster."

  Zhang Chong gazed at them coldly, and in his heart, he understood that this time, the other side would definitely not let him off easily. The words just now also made him think of it - Luo Ding young master, could it be that he was the richest young man in Dayang Realm, the young master of the Luo family? If it were the Luo family, then he really couldn't afford to offend them.

  "Don't bully my brother Zhang Chong." Little Tian wanted to rush up and help, but unexpectedly that iron tower-like strong man directly picked him up. Looking at his appearance, he was at least a sixth-level cultivator of the Refining Body stage. Dealing with someone like Little Tian who was just starting out was not even worth expending any effort.

  "Let him go, isn't it just asking me to use my ultimate move? Young Master Luo, your orders, how dare I not listen?" Zhang Chong's face was once again filled with smiles as he spoke to Luo Ding.

  Luoding smiled with satisfaction after hearing this and gestured to the strong man to put down Xiao Tian.

  Then, he brought the green stone in front of Zhang Chong.

  Zhang Chong looked at the bluestone, he had long been aware of the coldness and warmth of the world. He had been beaten by people countless times, but this also made his personality, although cunning and slippery, extremely stubborn. Begging for mercy was something he would never do.

  "A gentleman can be killed but not humiliated." Zhang Chong said quietly in his heart.

  His face, however, was a picture of smiles, as he stretched out his right hand, picked up the bluestone, and made a few gestures with it towards his right hand, then weighed it. Before he could finish speaking, he suddenly swung the bluestone heavily at Luo Ding's forehead, striking him with great force.
