Chapter 42 Broken Promise

"Auntie, I don't want to work hard anymore."

Xigou missed this sentence very much.

To be honest, he did flirt with a rich woman and felt the charm of a mature woman.

Hmm, it's unforgettable~~

Of course, he was unwilling to admit defeat and shouted, "You know nothing. You can win by lying down, why do you still work hard? Fang Zhixing, you are destined to work hard in this life, but I am different. I can still win by lying down!"

Fang Zhixing looked down on him.

It is better to rely on yourself than to rely on others. Destiny should be in your own hands.

Winning by lying down is not a real win, it is just the light of the winner.

It was noon in a blink of an eye.

One person and one dog walked out of the Cheng family compound and went out to eat.

"Young man, please stay."

As soon as they walked out of the alley, a middle-aged man with a smile on his face came to meet them.

Fang Zhixing looked at the other person carefully. He was potbellied and well-dressed. He was definitely not a poor beggar.

"Uncle, is there anything?" he asked.

The middle-aged man waved and said, "Are you hungry? I'll treat you to a meal and we can chat."

Fang Zhixing showed a vigilant expression and said, "I don't know you. I dare not go to dinner with you. What if you blackmail me?"

The middle-aged man spread his hands and said, "Don't worry, I'm not a bad person. I just want to ask you something. Come on, I'll take you to a good meal."

Fang Zhixing was still timid and didn't dare to go. He stretched out his hand and said, "You can give me money."

Seeing this, the middle-aged man took out ten big coins from his pocket and put them in Fang Zhixing's hand, and asked, "You are the apprentice of Cheng Daxia, right? You live in the Cheng family compound, right?"

"Yes, what's wrong?" Fang Zhixing nodded repeatedly.

The middle-aged man asked, "Did you see Cheng Xia yesterday? Where did he go?"

Fang Zhixing was immediately surprised and hesitant, "I, I can't disclose Cheng Xia's private information, otherwise I will be beaten."

The middle-aged man immediately took out ten big coins and stuffed them into Fang Zhixing's hand, smiling and said, "It's okay. If you don't say it yourself, who would know that you leaked it, right?"

Fang Zhixing lowered his head, showing a look of thinking, and replied, "Yesterday, Cheng Xia stayed at home and went out."

The middle-aged uncle asked, "Was he at home in the evening?"

Fang Zhixing thought about it and shook his head, "In the evening, um, I'm not sure, I went out to eat at that time."

The middle-aged uncle looked disappointed and asked again, "Then, have you heard Cheng Xia mention Uncle Chen?"

"Uncle Chen..."

Fang Zhixing raised his eyebrows and said, "It seems that he mentioned it several times."

"Oh, what did he say?" The middle-aged uncle suddenly became excited.

Fang Zhixing replied vaguely: "He said that Uncle Chen is Rabbit God. I don't understand what that means, why is he called Rabbit God?"

The middle-aged uncle's expression was slightly stiff, and he patted Fang Zhixing on the shoulder and said seriously: "This matter is between you and me, don't tell anyone, especially Cheng Xia, understand?"

Fang Zhixing nodded repeatedly.

The middle-aged uncle turned and left, blending into the pedestrians on the street.

The dog watched him go, wondering: "Who is this man, why is he asking about Cheng Tianen's whereabouts?"

Fang Zhixing was also very curious, and sent a voice message: "Let's go, let's follow him and see."

One man and one dog followed him slowly.

With the dog there, it is impossible to follow the smell all the way.

About half an hour later, the middle-aged man entered a high-gate courtyard with two stone lions placed at the door.

Fang Zhixing looked up and saw two large gold-painted characters on the hanging plaque, which he didn't recognize.

So, he stopped a passerby and asked about the owner of this family.

"Oh my god, this is the Chen family!"

Xigou was shocked and wondered, "The Chen family is investigating Cheng Tianen, what does this mean?"

Fang Zhixing was silent for a moment, and suddenly shuddered, his expression became playful, and he pondered, "Could it be that the Chen family suspects that Cheng Tianen was the one who killed Chen Yusheng?"

"(⊙o⊙)..."

Xigou was stunned, and never expected that things would develop in this direction.

But when he thought about it carefully, he felt it was reasonable.

He said, "Chen Yusheng is a warrior in the Great Python Realm. Looking at the entire Xiaoqinghe Town, the only person who has the ability to kill him is Cheng Tianen. Haha, no wonder the Chen family suspects that he is the murderer!"

Fang Zhixing's eyes flashed.

Seeing this, Xigou asked, "What are you thinking about? Do you want to tell Cheng Tianen about this?"

Fang Zhixing shook his head and said, "Don't worry, just wait and see."

Just like that, day after day passed.

Cheng Tianen stayed indoors all day, practicing and recuperating every day, his body recovered better and better, and the muscles on his body increased visibly.

Cheng Tianxi went out early and came back late, and no one knew what he was busy with.

Seven days passed in a flash.

That morning, Fang Zhixing felt that the time had come, walked up to Cheng Tianen, and said, "Hero, I have practiced the first level of Tieshan Gong to perfection. Do you think you can teach me the second level?"

Cheng Tianen raised his eyebrows. He focused on his own recovery these days and didn't pay much attention to Fang Zhixing's practice progress. He asked, "How is it, have you awakened any explosive skills?"

Fang Zhixing replied truthfully, "Yes, it's called Tieshan Lean."

"Tieshan Lean, it's actually this explosive skill!"

Hearing this, Cheng Tianen was neither surprised nor happy, and said calmly: "Tieshan Kou is one of the common explosive techniques, but to be honest, this explosive technique is relatively common and has a greater disadvantage in actual combat."

Fang Zhixing frowned and said, "For explosive skills of the same level, are there any advantages or disadvantages?"

"certainly!"

Cheng Tianen said carefully: "Although there are many kinds of explosive skills, the scenes where we use explosive skills are mostly involved in battles. If an explosive skill cannot effectively kill the enemy in actual combat, it is worthless. of."

"The iron mountain support is only suitable for close combat, and you must ensure that you can entangle the enemy before you have a chance to confront the opponent."

"If you encounter those warriors who are faster and more flexible, your iron mountain support will have no use at all."

After hearing these words, Fang Zhixing couldn't help but think deeply.

Then he said: "Thank you for the reminder, hero, and please teach me the subsequent techniques."

Cheng Tianen paused for a moment and replied: "Let's talk about it in a few days. I am currently in a critical period of recovery and cannot be distracted."

Fang Zhixing was stunned for a moment and said slowly: "Okay, I'll be fine if I wait a few more days."

So, this wait lasted seven days.

Fang Zhixing went to Cheng Tianen again, but was rejected by him again.

The reason is still the same. He is recovering and cannot teach him.

Fang Zhixing returned to the room, his face already gloomy.

Xigou was surprised and asked: "What does Cheng Tianen mean? Why does he refuse to teach you?"

Fang Zhixing glanced outside the door and saw Cheng Tianxi coming out, sitting under the eaves, and talking to Cheng Tianen.

"Small dog, go and eavesdrop." Fang Zhixing said.

The thin dog slipped out in a hurry.

The next moment, he heard Cheng Tianxi ask: "Brother, why don't you teach him? Didn't you say that he is a martial arts wizard?"

Cheng Tianen sighed: "It's not that I don't want to teach him, but I want to observe more of his character. I always feel that this kid is a bit..."
