Oppurtunity

After hearing his remark, Hou Jia who is very embarrassed regained confidence, he came to the Zhou Family to improve as he did not want to die in the wild, he wanted to be strong even as he dies.

He is already old which means that his potential to improve is not great yet he still chases for his dream, that alone is enough to talk about his personality and ambition.

"You go next"

Zhou Mengyao stared at Lin Xia who is in a very awkward spot.

If Hou Jia who is the strongest among the group is weak then they will just embarrass their selves.

Lin Xia still took a step forward though, it doesn't matter whether or not he will be scolded. An opportunity to properly guess his fighting power presented himself to him so he naturally has to take advantage of it.

Lin Xia assumed a posture making his fist look like a snake as in his movements one can observe that it is very nimble.

BANG!

40546!

Seeing the number, Zhou Mengyao shook his head. They truly are weak, he will be able to be stronger than them in a short period of time but the reason he wanted to still have them on his back is because their amount of qi can save him some time in improving the Absolute Pride of the Azure Dragon.

With their help, hunting will be very easy.

"You are also weak, just like Hou Jia but I wanted you to improve. Do your best."

After shaking his head, Zhou Mengyao spoke as he naturally expected that the power of Lin Xia is very weak due to his state of the body. With his thin body that looks like he can fly with a gust of strong wind, it is predictable.

"It is now your turn."

Zhou Mengyao looked at Teng Hu who still are demoralized and is still not listening. As if his body is programmed, Teng Hu walked forward as he threw a punch to the force measuring stone.

BANG!

25909!

Zhou Mengyao looks at it and he felt his blood boil, Teng Hu got back in the place that he stood up earlier but before he can even get there Zhou Mengyao stops him.

"What do you think you are doing? Do you think I have time to joke with people like you?"

"I am not joking."

Teng Hu answered without even batting an eye which made Zhou Mengyao madder than he already is. It is pretty very obvious that Teng Hu did not give his best and Zhou Mengyao did not want to entrust his back to someone like that at all.

Enraged, Zhou Mengyao decided to do his best to educate his servant. This way he can make sure to put his sanity back. Teng Hu doing that is akin to disrespecting him when Zhou Mengyao expects them to show their best.

"Since you are not joking then I also am not gonna continue this unfunny joke anymore."

Zhou Mengyao cupped his fist as he threw a punch directly into the face of Teng Hu.

BANG!

Teng Hu got knocked down pretty easily as he did not expect that Zhou Mengyao will just randomly attack him. Blood flow down from his nose as this time he finally showed an expression.

This is the first time that he showed expression to Zhou Mengyao and even the others.

He stared straight into the eye of Zhou Mengyao as he slowly stood up, he is enraged and he looks like a person wronged by the world.

"You don't know anything! You have no right to do this to ..."

Before he can complete his sentence, Zhou Mengyao got into another stance as his fist quickly flew down to his unprotected face.

This time though Teng Hu managed to dodge it easily, he got hit by a sneaky foot in his blindspot instead.

"You are right I don't know anything about you but there is no reason for you to be like that."

"You can only say that because you did not know what I am feeling! You did not know what helplessness feels like! You did not know how painful it is to lose someone you loved!"

Zhou Mengyao looked at him without any sympathy, there are countless people in the world with the same story as him and he doesn't care about any of it.

"So what are you gonna do? Be pathetic that you are your whole life?"

"Young Master please calm down! You don't have to go this far."

Both Hu Jia and Lin Xia along with Qian Fang tried to stop both of them as they both gets into the middle of Zhou Mengyao and Teng Hu.

"The three of you, move to the sides. This is my duty as your master to punish you when you are doing something unforgivable."

Hearing that, the three felt defeated. It is Teng Hu's fault as he did not try his best to impress Zhou Mengyao when it is pretty clear that he wanted them to do their best so he naturally has to bear his wrath.

"I know I am pathetic so insult me however you want I don't care."

Teng Hu who is aggrieved looks at Zhou Mengyao with deep hate in his eyes while Zhou Mengyao just brushed it off as he walks in next to him cooly.

"You are pathetic, I will not be surprised if your childhood friend that promised to marry you did not agree with it in the end. Want to know the reason for that? That is just because you are so pathetic, unbelievably pathetic."

Zhou Mengyao spat out harsh words to Teng Hu who shook from anger as he heard the word childhood friend.

"Did you investigate about my life? How come you will know exactly what happened?"

"No, I don't have time to care about your shitty life. It is just a waste of my time."

For the first time in a while, Teng Hu's anger subsided as tears fall down from his eyes. He felt energy leaving his body as he lie down on the ground looking at the azure blue sky and the clouds in the sky forming an image of various circles.

"It is true that I lived a shitty life, when I was young I entered one of the good academies that existed in the kingdom. I entered alongside my childhood friend. For me, she is my everything so I did my best to fulfill her wishes and needs so I did my best to help her improve but that resulted in my downfall."

"I did my best by providing her pills, techniques, teaching her about the world and martial skills. I spent most of my time doing my best for her but she betrayed me. After learning that I can no longer help her, she quickly stopped hanging out with me even though we already are in a relationship as she finds another one who can help her."

"I am just someone from a simple family and the one who is now taking care of her is someone from a very strong faction of the kingdom with a Core Formation Realm Master so I stood no chance to fight for her, there aren't even any battle. The outcome has just been decided just like that."

"Because of her betrayal not only did my skills regress but I haven't even managed to advance a realm for three years. I have wasted the best time of my life to improve myself because of her yet she still betrayed me and even gave me a cold shoulder like she did not know me."

Tears continued on falling from Teng Hu's eyes as a nostalgic look can be observed on his face, Zhou Mengyao can tell his extreme sadness and confusion for he did not know what to do.

"Do you want to take revenge? I can help you with my power, there is no one in the kingdom that can stop me."

Of course, Zhou Mengyao said it because he guessed that the faction that Teng Hu mentioned is just a small matter to the family with his elevated status.

"I don't want to hurt her physically, no I want to. Actually, I am confused, I don't know what to do."

Teng Hu answered with a bitter smile, his behavior has finally been clear to Zhou Mengyao. The reason for his broken mind is probably this event and he has to help him be done with it to win his unbreakable loyalty.

This is an opportunity.

"Did you know you can take revenge on someone without hurting them physically? Since you truly loved her then you should just forget about your feelings to her since she is not worth it. That I am sure of."

Zhou Mengyao smiled as he remembered a quote of a wise man from the internet.

"You should just forget about her and learn to love someone new. You can take revenge and find love at the same time, it is not that hard right?"

"How? I don't think that I will be able to open my heart again and I also wanted revenge."

Zhou Mengyao looked at Teng Hu's eager eyes that shows that he is truly focused on listening to him.

"Simple, just have her mother instead."
