Chapter 15: Huang Fei’s Regret

“Fool, fool!”
“How could you do something so utterly stupid?”
Huang Long erupted in rage, cursing vehemently.
“Do you really think he’s an idiot?”
“There’s no way he wouldn’t see through such a petty trick.”
Huang Ying was sobbing from the scolding.
She had originally planned to keep this matter hidden, but fearing it would come to light anyway, she decided it was better to confess on her own.
She never expected Huang Long’s reaction to be so fierce.
“Grandfather, I was wrong. I just wanted to get closer to him.”
Huang Long strode up to Huang Ying, and in his fury, slapped her across the face.
“You’ve completely frozen the relationship between the Huang family and him.”
Huang Ying covered her face, too afraid to utter a word.
At that moment, a servant reported,
“Family head, someone from the Li family has arrived.”
Huang Long sneered coldly, “Don’t see them.”
He knew the Li family must have heard that his illness was cured, and so they wanted to use him to get in touch with the little miracle doctor.
The relationship between the Huang and Li families had never been smooth; the Li family had always suppressed the Huang family’s development. How could he possibly help Li Qin?
“Family head, Li Qin and Li Meng came in person.”
Huang Long was shocked.
Li Qin hadn’t left his home for many years; this time, he actually came to their door himself.
If it were anyone else, Huang Long could have easily avoided them.
But with Li Qin coming personally, he couldn’t refuse to see them.
“Let them in.”
Li Meng pushed Li Qin into the villa’s living room.
Huang Long greeted them warmly, “Brother Li, what business requires you to come to the Huang family yourself?”
Li Qin had always been skeptical about Huang Long’s recovery, so he wanted to see for himself.
Only now, seeing Huang Long so spirited, did he believe the illness had truly been cured.
“We haven’t seen each other in so long, so we came specially to check on you.”
A hypocritical pleasantry.
Huang Long cut straight to the point, “Brother Li, you’re not here just to see me, are you?”
“Want me to introduce you to that miracle doctor?”
Li Qin didn’t bother with pleasantries either.
“Is Brother Huang unwilling?”
“My legs have been useless for so many years; I want to experience what it’s like to stand again.”
Huang Long feigned a troubled expression.
“It’s not that I wouldn’t introduce him, but this miracle doctor is quite eccentric. If he doesn’t want to do something, he won’t do it.”
Li Meng sneered coldly.
“In Jiangcheng, no one dares defy the Li family.”
Li Qin laughed heartily.
“Brother Huang, my son speaks too arrogantly and bluntly, but what he says is true.”

Huang Long sneered inwardly.
The Li family’s status was indeed high, but whether the little miracle doctor cared about that was uncertain.
One thing Huang Long was sure of: the miracle doctor’s attitude towards them would definitely be displeased.
Perhaps the Li family would become the bridge to ease the tension between the Huang family and the miracle doctor.
“The Li family has the arrogance to say such things in Jiangcheng; it’s only fitting.”
Li Meng looked smug.
“Since you know the truth, stop wasting time and tell us who this person is.”
“He’s called Tang Shiliu. I don’t know his exact background.”
Li Meng said to Li Qin, “Father, knowing his name is enough. As long as he’s in Jiangcheng, I can find him.”
Li Qin nodded.
They left immediately without even a word of thanks.
Huang Long gritted his teeth.
“They didn’t even pretend—they really don’t take me seriously.”
“I want to see what happens to you after offending the miracle doctor!”
“Huang Ying, call the miracle doctor.”
Huang Ying hurriedly took out her phone and dialed Tang Xuan’s number.
The call was hung up the first time.
Huang Long cursed, “If you hadn’t done something stupid, would he have refused your call?”
Huang Ying knew she was in the wrong and dared not argue. She pressed the call button again.
The second time, Tang Xuan finally answered.
Huang Ying breathed a sigh of relief.
If she hadn’t connected with him, she would surely be punished by her grandfather.
Huang Long took the phone.
“Miracle doctor.”
“Speak up if you have something to say.”
“Do you know the Li family in Jiangcheng?”
“If you say another useless word, I’ll hang up.”
Huang Long hurriedly said, “The head of the Li family has been disabled for many years. They just came to ask about you, hoping you could cure him.”
“I was forced to tell them your name.”
“Miracle doctor, if you don’t want to treat him, that’s fine. The Huang family will stand with you.”
“Whatever you need, the Huang family can help.”
Tang Xuan said, “Then go kill them.”
“Ah!”
Huang Long was stunned.
“If you can’t do it, why waste words? Get lost.”
He hung up, wearing a bitter smile.
“That fiery temper—if it clashes with the Li family, it’ll be like Mars colliding with Earth. This will be entertaining.”

Tang Xuan arrived at the hotel where Huang Fei was staying.
When the door was knocked, Huang Fei knew it must be Old Qin returning.
Seeing Tang Xuan standing outside, a proud smile spread across her face.
“Old Qin stepping in makes everything foolproof.”
“Tang Shiliu, you may no longer be Shunzi, but you still have to obey me.”
“Don’t you feel life has treated you unfairly? You were abandoned by me and now used by me—very unfair, right?”
Tang Xuan said, “I’ve already killed Qin Feng. Are you going to leave Jiangcheng or die by my hand?”
Huang Fei was momentarily stunned, then burst into a sharp, bitter laugh.
“Tang Shiliu, do you hear yourself? Killing Old Qin? Who do you think you are?”
“Do you think you’re a match for Old Qin?”
Old Qin was a late-stage Thunder Shock realm expert. Huang Fei absolutely didn’t believe Tang Xuan’s words.
“Do you think I don’t dare kill you?”
Although Huang Fei was the mother of this body, and the mother of Tang Shiliu, what did that have to do with Tang Xuan?
So if he truly wanted to kill her, he wouldn’t hesitate.
Huang Fei instinctively glanced toward the door.
Where was Old Qin?
Why hadn’t Old Qin appeared after Tang Xuan came?
Could it be that Old Qin had suddenly shown signs of breaking through and thus had secluded himself?
She would rather believe Old Qin was in seclusion than think Tang Xuan had the power to kill him.
“To kill Old Qin, you need Earth Kun realm strength. Do you have it?”
Tang Xuan wanted to show off a bit, letting her see what a Golden Body at the Heaven Qian realm looked like.
But his body couldn’t take it.
Tang Xuan took out a bracelet and tossed it in front of Huang Fei.
Huang Fei was struck as if by lightning, frozen in place.
“You have one day. If you dare stay in Jiangcheng, I will kill you.”
With that, Tang Xuan left the hotel.
Huang Fei stood petrified for a long time.
After a while, she crouched down and picked up the bracelet.
“How is this possible?”
“How is this possible?”
This was Old Qin’s bracelet; he always wore it unless... something really happened to him!
A Thunder Shock realm expert, dead just like that?
Tears streaked down Huang Fei’s face.
Regret?
She regretted deeply!
“Mom, he... he killed Old Qin!”
Breathing on the other end of the phone grew rapid.
“Mom, you were the one who said to get rid of him back then. What do we do now?”
