The ghost problem was solved, and the matter was settled.

However, the Tianhai Yi Xian (Heavenly Sea First-Class) project obviously wasn't.

After all, the rumors of haunting had already spread, and it wouldn't be easy to change its reputation.

But that was no longer Chen Xiao's concern; it was a problem Lin Jie needed to worry about.

After saying goodbye to the two women, Chen Xiao went home.

He walked into the residential area, where he had grown up since he was a child, and he had deep feelings for every tree and plant here.

But people strive to move upwards, and now that he had better living conditions, he had no reason to continue staying in this dilapidated neighborhood.

The main problem now was how to convince his mother to move into the big villa with him.

The old lady had suffered for most of her life, and it was time for her to enjoy a comfortable life.

And the Gu family and his daughter, it would be best to persuade them to move away with his family as well.

Just as Chen Xiao was thinking about these things, he suddenly felt a chill coming from behind him.

Almost reflexively, Chen Xiao turned around and kicked out with lightning speed!

At the same time, a young man holding two short knives, one in each hand, was stabbing towards Chen Xiao!

Chen Xiao's kick directly disrupted the young man's assassination attempt. He had originally thought he would succeed.

But Chen Xiao's kick came swiftly, and he could only change his posture in mid-air to block it.

He twisted his body, like wringing a rag, barely dodging Chen Xiao's kick.

However, although Chen Xiao's kick didn't hit him directly, the remaining force still carried a huge impact, hitting the young man's body.

The young man was caught off guard and staggered back nearly ten steps before he stabilized himself.

Chen Xiao looked at him coldly, and realizing he didn't recognize the young man, he shouted, "Who are you?"

The young man simply said, "I'm here to kill you," and then charged towards Chen Xiao again!

He wielded a pair of short knives with skillful flourish, like juggling, constantly stabbing at Chen Xiao!

Chen Xiao dodged left and right, continuously deflecting the young man's attacks.

He even had the leisure to say, "I didn't expect you to be a Qi Realm expert at such a young age!"

The young man visibly paused and angrily said, "Damn it, it's not like you're that much older than me!"

He had been attacking for a long time without success, and he was starting to get anxious.

Moreover, he had always prided himself on being invincible among his peers, but Chen Xiao looked even younger than him, yet his strength was clearly no less than his.

This made him feel a little impetuous, and his attacks became faster and faster.

However, speeding up his attacks had no effect. Chen Xiao still deflected them with ease, and even asked leisurely, "Since you are a Qi Realm expert, why don't you use Qi Transformation?"

The young man snorted disdainfully.

"Qi Transformation is useless. Although the power increases slightly, it consumes much more Qi. It's flashy and impractical. Only fools who have just entered the Qi Realm like to use it!"

As he spoke, he couldn't help but curse inwardly, "Damn it, why am I telling him this?"

Chen Xiao smiled slightly, "You're an interesting person, I admire you!"

The young man was dumbfounded, and angrily shouted, "Damn it, I'm here to kill you, you better show some respect!"

As they fought, Chen Xiao suddenly took a few steps back, retreating from the battle.

Raising his hand, he said, "I'm not fighting anymore, it's boring, and you're not my opponent! Let's talk about serious matters!"

"You think you can just stop fighting? I told you, I'm here to kill you, you better show some respect!"

The young man clenched his teeth and pounced on Chen Xiao like a tiger.

The two short knives in his hand were like the tiger's two sharp teeth!

Chen Xiao was helpless. With two quick kicks, he directly kicked away the two short knives in the young man's hands.

The young man was like a tiger that had its teeth pulled out, and instantly became useless!

And Chen Xiao, unarmed, was able to disarm him so easily, which could only mean that Chen Xiao's strength was above his.

And far above him, at least one realm higher.

Even his master, whom he admired immensely, couldn't disarm him so easily.

The young man's face was ashen, and he looked completely defeated.

In just an instant, his pride and arrogance were crushed by Chen Xiao.

Although he was not old, he had been in the Jianghu (martial world) for eight years.

In these years, he had never been defeated.

He didn't expect that his first defeat today would be so decisive.

"Kill me, you're right, I'm not your opponent!"

The young man stood proudly, raised his neck, and struck a pose as if he was about to die heroically.

Chen Xiao laughed, "Don't flatter yourself, when did I say I wanted to kill you?"

The young man was stunned and asked suspiciously, "But I'm here to kill you!"

Chen Xiao said nonchalantly, "So what if you're here to kill me? You're too weak. Sorry, you're not qualified to die in my hands!"

The young man became angry, "A warrior can be killed, but not humiliated! I'll fight you!"

With his knives knocked to the ground, the young man fought Chen Xiao with his bare hands.

The result was predictable. Chen Xiao didn't use much effort to pin him under his feet.

"Tell me, who sent you to kill me?"

Chen Xiao asked lazily.

The young man turned his head to the side, "You can kill me if you want, but if you want to get any information from me, I'll just tell you two words: Dream on!"

He thought his words would anger Chen Xiao, but Chen Xiao just scratched his head and said indifferently, "Since you don't want to say, then forget it. You can go. If you want to kill me, go back and practice for a few more years!"

"Are you really going to let me go?" The young man asked incredulously.

Chen Xiao spread his hands, "Otherwise? Do you think I'm willing to waste time on you? My time is precious!"

However, after hesitating for a long time, the young man still didn't leave.

Chen Xiao couldn't help but wonder, "Why aren't you leaving yet?"

The young man hesitated, "I can't leave, I have nowhere to go. I failed to kill you, that disgusting old woman will definitely not let me go!"

Chen Xiao was suspicious, "You're not even afraid of death, why would you be afraid of an old woman?"

The young man thought about those thick lips and that greasy body, and couldn't help but shudder.

"That old woman is more terrifying than death!"

Chen Xiao became even more curious, "Who exactly is that old woman? Why are you so afraid of her?"

The young man blurted out, "Her name is Wu Meili. You may not know her, but you must know her son, Long Yaoyang!"

Chen Xiao suddenly understood, "So she sent you to kill me. Then what do you mean by telling me all this now?"

The young man knelt down on the ground with a plop, "Chen Xiao, I want to become your disciple!"
