135 Incurred Debt
YANG LUJIA BROUGHT the young man to the chamber of the fatty sect master. He told him about what happened, especially seeing how the young man was contused all over his body and how his face was so swollen that he could not already be unidentified at this point.
“Those lunatics!” the fatty shouted as he slammed his table, leading it to break into pieces. “Why do they have to go this far? Before, if I haven’t stopped them, they would’ve raped the girls in our sect! Lunatics!”
“You don’t have to worry,” Yang Lujia replied, unperturbed by the aura emitted by the fatty. Unlike the others outside who clearly felt the might of a peak Saint. “I already avenged this kid and also scared them out of their wits.”
“What the hell? Who angered the sect master?”
“Is that the sect master’s aura? He’s really that strong, right? I can even feel my soul shaking!”
“Father, what happened?” Elder Sun Ling was confused, but the moment the aura disappeared, she heaved a sigh of relief. After all, his father was someone strange, so it must be one of those days when his father got agitated because of his surging emotions.
But she couldn’t help but worry. She would visit him after he gave his lecture to the disciples in front of her.
“Thank you.” The fatty bent his body forward to show how grateful he was for Yang Lujia’s actions. “Dum Gai, I don’t know how to thank you enough, but we can offer you a banquet—”
“No need. That’s too bothersome,” Yang Lujia said as he looked at the young man. “Don’t you need to fix him, though?”
“No, I should repay you back! That’s not what a man should do, not repaying back the debt he had with another man, especially for something like this! Anything will do, Brother Dum Gai! As long as it does not concern the life of me or anyone, I’ll repay you!”.
‘Yes, you must pay me back. I like collecting debts,’ Yang thought as he replied, “No, it’s really alright, brother fatty.”
The fatty sighed but on the inside, he was determined to pay him back for what he had done. He then shifted the topic to another, staring at the thrashed young man. “As for the kid, don’t worry. We have some people in the sect who have comprehended the rules of life. He should be alright after a couple of days.”
“I can do it in minutes, though,” said Yang Lujia.
“Yes, brother—wait what?!”
Yang Lujia was a bit frightened when the fatty’s eyes bulged out from his head. He then sighed and responded, “I said I can fix him. It’s not like it’s difficult, though.”
The fatty’s jaw dropped. “What the fuck? I thought my daughter said you comprehended the rules of space, just like what she said to me!”
“No, I already comprehended several rules other than the two mentioned. Is it really hard, though?”
“Are you fucking showing off? I’m so angry right now!” The fatty’s cheeks jiggled, extremely ashamed of his talent. He then let out a cough and said, “Anyhow, can you really fix him? If so, you should do that already. That kid’s already dying it seems.”
Yang Lujia did not find it surprising that the fatty was surprised about him being able to comprehend several rules. In fact, he had already read it from the memoir of the first-generation sect master of the Saber Path Sect. That sect master said that he once encountered a genius from the Autonomous Region who could comprehend two rules, in which the fact that he was called a genius baffled him.
If that kind of kid was already a genius by only comprehending two rules, then what was he? A monster of some sort?
“Alright, I’ll heal him now,” Yang Lujia said as he raised one hand. Soon enough, the rules of life gathered around him like they were meeting their old friend. This sight shocked the fatty of a sect master to the core.
‘Who would’ve thought that in my entire life, I would be able to see this kind of miracle? I’ve never seen anything like him. This was the first time I saw such a thing…’
The fatty was so amazed that he met someone like Yang Lujia and was even happier that he cozied up to this guy. He must reward his daughter handsomely later for bringing him to their sect. So fucking awesome!
“Shall we start?” Yang Lujia, as though ordering the rules of life, gathered them on the young man’s body. Soon enough, not even a minute flew past, and the young man’s skin and condition had already come back to their peak.
Throughout the process, the fatty was even more amazed that he couldn’t help but shiver in excitement. Did this mean that if he went to the other sect masters now to fight, he would still be healed if he brought Dum Gai along? Wouldn’t that be too overpowered?!
“I thought you said you could fix him in minutes? Why did it only take you a few seconds?” Of course, the fatty didn’t forget this matter.
“I’m that strong. I may have already reached the peak of this world,” Yang Lujia said, unrestrained that it left the fatty speechless.
He did not even know the peak cultivation level of this world. “Hey, hey, didn’t you ask me about cultivation levels? If you were already at the peak, then why do you still need to ask me those things? You could’ve traveled on your own! Fuck! I’m so angry right now! You are so pretentious! I might be so stupid in your eyes back then!”
“I always view myself as an irregular, someone who doesn’t belong to this world. Ever since I was born, I didn’t even know that I already started cultivating. In other words, in this world, it’s like I am some sort of cheat. While others cultivate so hard to reach the peak, I, on the other hand, can reach it even if I do nothing.”
The fatty was once again speechless by this shamelessness. “You’re too…”
“I am not pretentious. I really don’t know anything about everything that I asked you for before. Moreover, I am still not sure whether I am stronger than a Saint King or stronger that the cultivation levels above that. That’s why I came here to ask you first. Unfortunately, you lack the information I wanted to know.
“I couldn’t travel recklessly just because I know I’m too strong, right? Although I might be a variable of this world, there might be other variables out there. Carelessness would lead me to death.”
“What the fuck is going on…”
“Do you believe me now?” Yang Lujia asked.
“I really still can’t process it… Wait for a moment…”
“If you don’t, I’ll show ten percent of what I can do, then.” Yang Lujia smiled that it crept the hell out of the fatty. “Are you ready, brother fatty?”
With the rules of space enveloping the whole chamber, the area became eerily quiet. Yang Lujia’s eyes were still pitch-black. However, it even gloomy-fied the whole place. Moreover, if he used his purple eyes at the moment, he was afraid that would destroy the entire sect.
No one knew what was transpiring inside the chamber of the sect master. Only Yang Lujia and the trembling fatty knew of this.
“You don’t have to be scared, fatty. I won’t kill you. I just want to show you this. You owe me, right? You said you’d repay me with anything.”
‘Fuck! I shouldn’t have said that in the first place!’ The fatty knelt on the ground from the pressure Yang Lujia was giving him, even if the latter did not release his aura yet.
Sooner, a wave of monstrous aura slammed his body. The fatty froze. It was not because he could not move but because he was thoroughly terrified at the moment.
“Raise your head, brother fatty,” Yang Lujia said. “You want to repay me, right?”
Yang Lujia forcefully raised the head of the fatty and saw the latter’s teary-eyed face. “Am I that scary, brother fatty?”
“N-No…”
When the fatty looked straight into those pitch-black eyes, he even shivered more and his muscles convulsed. “What do you want…”
“Brother Fatty…” Yang Lujia called him as he grinned.
The whole place was quiet. The rules of space disappeared all of a sudden as the chamber went back to its normal appearance. The fatty waited for what Yang Lujia was about to say.
THUMP!
He could hear his heartbeats.
He could even hear the blood flowing in his veins.
They were boiling that it even heated up the situation he was entangled with.
“You said you’re going to repay me with anything, right? Brother Fatty, I’m being reasonable here, you know that, right?”
The fatty gulped. “Y-Yes…”
“If there’s anything you can repay me, then…” Yang Lujia trailed off as his eyes turned purple, staring right into the other party’s eyes. “Submit.”
