All the skills that Andre had leaned toward the external arts. Skills like [Heavy Sword Strike], [Cleave] and several others all resembled the skills in Western fantasy novels.

Either way, everyone was happy to receive the Lesser Spring Water of Youth.

Zhu Xin Yi and Huang Kun were more composed. They had already received the Lesser Spring Water before this. Zhao Guang was completely calm because he had no idea what this Lesser Spring Water was.

Andre was the only one who was overjoyed. Though Wei Xiao Bei had already given him some Lesser Spring Water, he had left that Spring Water to his wife and children. Now that he had excess Lesser Spring Water of Youth, Andre finally felt like his safety was guaranteed in the Dust World.

Of course, the main purpose of this Lesser Spring Water was to save their lives. If they were to drink the Lesser Spring Water every time they were wounded, it would never be enough for all their needs.

“Alright, all of you go to sleep.”

Wei Xiao Bei waved his hand and everyone left. He then walked toward the guest room.

When he heard the snoring from the guest room, he remembered that Zhou Xing Yuan was currently sleeping there.

He knocked on the door lightly. It was a soft noise, but Zhou Xing Yuan was immediately woken up.

Zhou Xing Yuan felt as if he had been suddenly picked up by the neck, but upon waking in horror, he discovered that it was only an illusion on his part.

Such a method of waking someone was only a small application of the Law Series for Wei Xiao Bei, who had now advanced to 4-Star.

This minor technique should be called Law Terror.

Once Zhou Xing Yuan opened the door, Wei Xiao Bei walked in. Before he could even speak, Zhou Xing Yuan leaned to his side and softly said, “Boss Wei, you gotta save me this time.”

“Save you? What immoral and criminal thing did you do?”

Wei Xiao Bei said with his eyes shut.

“Boss Wei, what's with your eyes. ”

It was only now that Zhou Xing Yuan noticed that Wei Xiao Bei had been keeping his eyes closed all this while.

“Speak if you have something to say. Otherwise, go out the door, turn right and go through the gates.”

Wei Xiao Bei had plenty of matters to attend to. If it wasn't for his pleasant mood at having advanced to 4-Star and the many missing calls Zhou Xing Yuan had left on his phone, he wouldn't even have returned. He would have at least used Bi Fang's heart blood before he came back.

As he spoke, Wei Xiao Bei saw sungla.s.ses on Zhou Xing Yuan's head. He casually took it for himself and placed it upon his nose.

Mm, a very comfortable fit.

Though wearing shades in the night could frighten others, Wei Xiao Bei believed it was better than being mistaken for a blind man.

Zhou Xing Yuan winced a little at seeing Wei Xiao Bei take and wear the expensive world-cla.s.s sungla.s.ses that he had people purchase from France. It was a pair of shades that had been personally handcrafted by a master. It easily cost upward of five thousand USD and was often in short supply.

One of Zhou Xing Yuan's hobbies was collecting all sorts of sungla.s.ses.

Of course, the shades were a small matter. The more important thing had to be settled first.

Thus, Zhou Xing Yuan started to explain why he had come.

Apart from collecting sungla.s.ses, Zhou Xing Yuan had another hobby- having mistresses.

Having mistresses wasn't exactly forbidden by the law. Still, it was a moral evil that society tended to frown upon.

Of course, thinking with their lower half was very common for nouveau rich and upper-cla.s.s people like Zhou Xing Yuan. Wei Xiao Bei simply just looked down upon such behavior.

This incident occurred with one of Zhou Xing Yuan's mistresses.

He currently had three mistresses. Setting aside the other two, this one was his third and youngest mistress. She was a soph.o.m.ore at Cui Hu University and was probably one of the prettiest girls in her major.

There's no need to explain why she was willing to be a mistress. There was consent on both sides and it was mostly a matter of money for her.

She originally had a boyfriend at Cui Hu University, a member of the school basketball team and one of the more handsome boys in the university as well.

Of course, if he wasn't a handsome man, it would have been difficult to get a girl as pretty as her to be her girlfriend.

Initially, the boyfriend had no idea that his girlfriend was someone else's mistress.

After all, even the most open of personalities would want to hide something like this. They were students after all. Maybe a few years after they entered society they might start shouting stuff like, “I'm a mistress and I'm proud of it!” However, for the moment, they still wanted to keep up a proper reputation.

The problem was that such things could not be concealed forever.

In the end, the boyfriend uncovered the truth.

When a girl from an ordinary family started using LV handbags, Chanel and Proya for cosmetics and wear expensive dresses that went for upward of thousands of yuan, it would start to stand out.

Even the most foolish of boyfriends would know that something was wrong.

The boyfriend had a very rash personality as well. He flew into a rage when he discovered the truth and immediately confronted the girl.

Either way, it was the insults and fighting, which led to the two breaking up.

The girl had been slapped twice by her boyfriend and wouldn't let it go to rest just like that. So, she went to look for Zhou Xing Yuan and started tearing up.

Zhou Xing Yuan immediately became furious upon seeing the two red handprints on his darling's white face. Even he didn't dare to beat his little darling and another man dared to do so? Was he looking for an early grave?

As was mentioned before, Zhou Xing Yuan and his group had done all sorts of things when they first started building their empire. Even today, they still influenced the underground world of Cui Hu City.

Thus, the boyfriend was beaten up by Zhou Xing Yuan's men. He wasn't severely injured, but he was badly bruised and had to stay in the hospital for three days.

This incident should have been over then.

Zhou Xing Yuan had sent people to warn the boyfriend. That boyfriend didn't come from a n.o.ble or rich family either. He had no means of threatening Zhou Xing Yuan at all.

However, not long after, the boyfriend went missing and along with him, Zhou Xing Yuan's little darling.

Zhou Xing Yuan started panicking and sent people to search everywhere, to no avail.

Until a few days ago, one of the bars under Zhou Xing Yuan's management was wrecked and trashed. All the guards sent by the security company had their bones broken and were sent to the hospital.

Such things had happened before and Zhou Xing Yuan paid it no heed.

However, a series of a.s.sets related to Zhou Xing Yuan were all wrecked by some unknown force. When Lou Lan Club, the cash cow of the Da Hao Group was smashed up, Zhou Xing Yuan finally treated the issue seriously.

Apart from having their most important source of income disrupted, several of the security guards and underground boxers had also been beaten to death.

The situation was completely different now that people had died.

Just the series of summons by the police alone had caused Zhou Xing Yuan tremendous headaches. Also, the impact on the company's reputation had left the Da Hao Group in a precarious position.

More crucially, the enemy had left Zhou Xing Yuan a letter after smas.h.i.+ng up the Lou Lan Club, promising to take his life!

This terrified Zhou Xing Yuan to no ends.

He wasn't afraid of an ordinary vengeance-seeking enemy. The problem was that the power that the enemy had displayed in destroying Lou Lan Club was no longer within the realm of ordinary humans. It was said that the enemy would roar for the spirits to possess them and they would instantly become tremendously strong and invincible.

Zhou Xing Yuan immediately thought of the boyfriend he had asked people to beat up before and then recalled the Dust World that he had entered.

Zhou Xing Yuan was no fool. He might not have continued his adventures in the Dust World, but he knew that people who trained in the Dust World were not opponents that his security guards could deal with.

Judging from the behavior of the enemy, it was a terrible grudge they were holding against him. Zhou Xing Yuan might not die, but there was probably no sparing him from incredible pain and agony.

That was why Zhou Xing Yuan had come running to Wei Xiao Bei for help.

Either way, he had personally seen Wei Xiao Bei's capabilities and had some degree of confidence in him.

Wei Xiao Bei couldn't help but sigh internally after hearing Zhou Xing Yuan's story. What was this?

Zhou Xing Yuan wasn't exactly the good guy in the story either. The boyfriend was pretty much innocent, though he didn't seem to be in quite the right mind now.

In particular, that invitation for the spirits to possess him seemed to have touched a nerve of Wei Xiao Bei.

He wasn't asking for some brush spirit or saucer spirit to possess him, was he?

Taking Cui Hu University into consideration, Wei Xiao Bei was inexplicably reminded of his experience at Cui Hu University when he entered the Dust World.

Consequently, he couldn't help but develop a bit of interest in the matter.

“Where's the letter?”

Wei Xiao Bei thought for a moment and asked Zhou Xing Yuan.

Letter?

Perhaps Zhou Xing Yuan was still frozen in shock, but he didn't immediately respond. He only reacted after Wei Xiao Bei repeated the question, taking out a letter from his pocket.

The letter was already wrinkled. It was clear that Zhou Xing Yuan had looked over the letter many, many times.

Wei Xiao Bei opened the letter and looked with his eyes. [Enlightenment] and [Deductive Reasoning] were activated!

In the blink of an eye, the writer of the letter, the location of where it had been written and even where the paper had been produced and sold appeared in Wei Xiao Bei's mind

The letter was indeed written by the boyfriend, Zhang Tian Kun.

At this moment, Wei Xiao Bei's right hand suddenly moved. His palm slapped against the paper and sparks flew out, enveloping the entire letter.

A nail-like black brush emerged from the letter wrapped in electricity before Zhou Xing Yuan's terrified eyes. The brush was no more than a finger long. It let out a pained wail as the electricity started to burn it!

b.l.o.o.d.y h.e.l.l, what is this? Zhou Xing Yuan felt his knees go soft.

“Wretch, you dare struggle!”

Wei Xiao Bei roared and the electricity from his right hand increased in ferocity. One could even faintly hear the sound of thunder from his palm.

The black brush could finally endure no longer. It was blasted into powder by the electricity and vanished into thin air along with the letter.

Wei Xiao Bei didn't do this because he sensed some bad omen.

It was simply because [Enlightenment] had revealed all the attributes of the letter.
