Chapter 0143 – You Appear Before Me – Absolute Returns

by GreatBrother(위대한 다오 형제)

"Would I be in this position if I knew?"

Akio said angrily.

It seems that his fiery temper cannot be changed. In the face of a Demon Cult expert whose strength far exceeded his own, he had the audacity to be so reckless, truly bold.

"Sorry, I’ve been in a bad mood lately, a little goes a long way."

"I understand."

"What do you understand?"

Akio freaked out again, but quickly calmed down and apologized.

"I’m sorry, I shouldn’t have gotten mad at you."

"That’s okay, I’m afraid I wouldn’t be able to keep my cool if I were you."

Akio took a deep breath and softened his tone a bit.

"What now?"

"Do what you need to do and pretend I don’t exist."

"How can I pretend you don’t exist when you’re standing here?"

"You just need to focus on yourself, it’s a matter of life and death, what else is impossible?"

I handed him the piece of paper with Akio’s information on it.

"You keep this piece of paper, when you feel lost and frustrated, take it out and look at it, especially the words ‘gifted’, you must remember that you are a smart person, you will be able to make the right judgment."

Qiusheng took the paper and clutched it tightly in his hand, he seemed to want to tear it to pieces, but eventually he held back and tucked it into his arms.

"What are you going to do? If I hadn’t come, would you have asked the Martial Arts Alliance for help?"

Akio pondered for a moment and shook his head.

"I’d rather work with the Evil Demon Road than ask for help from the Martial Arts Alliance."

"So you’re going to work with the Evil Demon Road?"

"Neither."

Qiusheng replied dryly, in his last life, he was the same way, neither asking for help from the Martial Arts Alliance nor cooperating with the Evil Demon Road.

"So what are you going to do?"

"I don’t know."

As soon as Akio’s words left his mouth, I noticed a slight twinkle in his eyes, he tried to trick me, but he was still too young and his acting skills were not mature enough.

"He must be hiding something from me."

But I didn’t press him, after all, we’ve only just met, it’s normal for him to not trust me. If he didn’t want to talk about it now, even if I pressed him, he would just lie.

"That’s enough for today, you get an early night."

Brother XI took me to the guest room, which was filled with sumptuous wine and food.

I tried the dish with a silver needle to make sure it wasn’t poisoned before I started eating.

After eating, I started practicing Wind God Steps.

Ever since my father told me that I had to cultivate the Wind God Steps to the Grand Completion Realm before practicing the Nine Hua Demon Technique, I haven’t dared to slack off for a moment.

In the dead of night, I came to Qiusheng’s room and found him still awake, sitting on his bed and staring.

"Are you rested?"

"I’m well rested, but you seem to have been up all night."

"I’ve been having trouble sleeping lately."

Akio’s eyes were bloodshot, and it had obviously been a long time since he’d had a good night’s sleep.

"Insomnia can cloud your judgment."

"I’d like to sleep, but I can’t."

"Let me teach you a way."

"What method? Acupuncture?"

"This is a secret method I learned from the physicians of the Heavenly Demon God Cult that specializes in treating insomnia."

As soon as Qiusheng heard that it was a secret method of the Demon Sect, he became interested.

"Well, beating a dead horse, I’ll try."

Akio lay on the bed and followed my instructions, relaxing his body and adjusting his breathing.

"Imagine you’re lying on a warm sandy beach, the sun is shining on you, and you feel incredibly relaxed and comfortable ……"

It was the next morning when Akio woke up.

He sat up from the bed feeling refreshed, his headache was gone, and his body was much more relaxed.

"It was amazing!"

He didn’t expect that the secret method of the demonic sect would be so effective that he slept until dawn.

He got up in a hurry and walked out of his room and down the hall.

Li Xuan was standing in the hall, looking at the palm prints on the wall.

"There you are."

"Thanks to you, I got a good night’s sleep; I haven’t slept this well in a long time."

"You’re a good man."

"What do you mean?"

"I think the reason you’re losing sleep is because you’re feeling guilty about all those dead subordinates."

"Nonsense! I’m just losing sleep because I hate that asshole, I hate him for killing my subordinates, I hate him for taking my money!"

Qiusheng didn’t like to be called a good guy, and it had to do with his father. His father had taught him from a young age that good people don’t get good rewards, and that the only way to get a foothold in the jianghu was to be ruthless.

"If I was really a good person, I would have been killed a long time ago, how could I have survived until today? You stop talking nonsense!"

"Okay, I was wrong."

I saw that Akio was angry, so I said no more.

"Look at this."

I pointed to a hole in the wall and said.

"I typed this out, why?"

"Not this one, this one."

I said, pointing to another, smaller hole.

"That’s what that asshole did with his finger winds."

Akio’s face suddenly became grave.

"That’s right, he killed my subordinate with the wind of his fingers and punched through the wall, I purposely asked the people not to repair this hole, I’m going to leave it behind as a constant reminder to myself to avenge my subordinate’s death!"

I looked at the hole and frowned.

"What’s wrong?"

"This hole, it’s very much like the Blood Demon Finger."

"Blood Demon Finger? What’s that?"

"That’s the famous stance of the Extremely Evil Evil Demon, I’ve seen him perform the Blood Demon Finger before."

"See, I was right, wasn’t I? He is the Ultimate Evil Demon!"
