Chapter 6 Am I an ATM?

A moment later, the rooftop.

Su Muxue had her back to Lu Ning as she silently began to roll up the sleeves of her suit.

This bastard just doesn't know when to stop, huh?

If I don't show him some colors, he won't know who the hell he's dealing with.

After all, I am a black belt in Taekwondo.

Hmph.....

"Hey... I'm just borrowing some money, no need to make it seem like Infernal Affairs, right?"

Lu Ning shrugged his shoulders.

"Oh, sweet talk? Do you think I'm an ATM?"

Suddenly, Su Muxue turned around, her straight long legs kicking towards Lu Ning's face.

"Uh... what are you doing?"

Lu Ning reached out and grabbed Su Muxue's delicate ankle, clad in no-show socks, and said with a half-smile, "Do you think yesterday's position was too monotonous and want to show me how flexible your body is, that you can unlock even more…"

"Shameless, go to hell!"

Su Muxue's pretty face flushed red, trying hard to pull her calf out of Lu Ning's grasp.

However, Lu Ning was immovable.

"Let go of me...."

Su Muxue was both angry and anxious, having not anticipated Lu Ning to be so strong.

No wonder her waist still hurt up to now…

Thinking back to what happened in the car last night, her delicate and exquisite face blushed even more!

"Fine, I'll just borrow twenty thousand yuan, I will pay you back!"

Lu Ning let go of her.

"Just twenty thousand?"

Su Muxue looked skeptical, finding this man hard to read.

This morning at the office, when she told him to name his price, he didn't want a penny, just asked her to fire the office director Fatty Cai.

And now, he turns around asking to borrow just twenty thousand?

It was as baffling to her as an average person being asked to lend two cents.

"Yeah, just twenty thousand. If you're worried, I can write an IOU!"

Lu Ning nodded earnestly.

"Alright, open your payment QR, and I'll scan it for you!"

Su Muxue bit her lower lip, took out her phone, and transferred twenty thousand yuan into Tang Yun's.

Then, with her arms crossed, she looked at Lu Ning coldly and said, "Don't bother paying me back, and from now on, don't come to see me again!"

"Worried I'll cling onto you?"

Lu Ning blinked and asked.

"So what if I am? We're simply not from the same world!"

Su Muxue said icily, then walked down the rooftop with her long strides.

The entire burden of the Su Corporation rested on her shoulders.

If she were to marry, she would definitely choose a man whose status and position matched her own, to cement her family's standing in Wu City.

And this man in front of her…

Despite his handsome appearance, he made his living by scavenging through trash.

This type of good-for-nothing who has no ambition, Su Muxue disdained!

She also couldn't accept the gossip and backtalk from others if they were together!

A few minutes later.

Lu Ning returned to Tang Hu's hospital room, handed his phone to Tang Yun, and informed her that he would be gone for a couple of days.

Since his memory had come back, he definitely needed to make a trip to Miaojiang.

To see if he could find his parents' remains where he had jumped off the cliff.

Although Lu Ning also hoped that both his parents were still alive.

But for three whole years, his parents had never come to look for him, he feared...

Though it was painful, Lu Ning could only accept reality.

Evening.

Lu Ning returned to Miaojiang.

Under the dying light of the setting sun, a tall figure carefully searched beneath the cliff overgrown with thorns.

In the end, Lu Ning found nothing but a few shreds of cloth.

Suppressing the grief in his heart, Lu Ning tucked these shreds into his bosom and climbed up the cliff.

The once-majestic buildings of the Five Poisons Sect were now a pitch-black expanse of broken walls and ruins.

As the mountain winds passed, they made a "whistling" sound.

As if these mournful spirits were voicing their grievances and injustice to Lu Ning.

"Dad, Mom, all the elders, brothers, and sisters of the Five Poisons Sect... I, Lu Ning, swear that even if it takes a lifetime, I will find the culprit behind the annihilation and use their heads to honor you all!"

Lu Ning's eyes brimmed with tears as he clenched his fists tightly, roaring hoarsely.

Afterward, Lu Ning collected stones and placed the found strips of cloth underneath, cobbling together a grave.

He lit a bonfire and knelt silently in front of the makeshift tomb.

He kneeled there for an entire night.

The next day.

Lu Ning's eyebrows and the tip of his nose were covered with cool dew.

He respectfully knocked his head against the grave three times, "Dad, Mom. One day, the Five Poisons Sect will rise again from these ruins."

Finished speaking, Lu Ning stood up, ready to return to Wu City.

The Tang Family had saved his life, and he could not let them continue to live in dire straits.

However, just at that moment, a scorched stone pillar suddenly collapsed, revealing a set of well-preserved steps.

A secret chamber in the Sect?

Lu Ning had once heard his parents mention it, saying he could enter after he took over the Five Poisons Sect.

What secrets might be hidden inside the chamber?

Lu Ning walked over quickly, following the steps down to see a pile of collapsed boulders.

Clearly, those people had entered the secret chamber. If there had been anything valuable inside, it was probably already looted.

Lu Ning clenched his fists, filled with indignation.

After navigating past the jumbled boulders, he entered the square secret chamber.

On all sides were shelves that looked like cabinets, neatly filled with ancient tomes collected by the Five Poisons Sect.

Martial Arts, Parasite Poison, medicine, Mystic Arts, a plethora of subjects were covered.

Lu Ning glanced at them briefly. He had been learning this knowledge from a young age and they were of no value to him any longer.

But, if taken to auction in the big cities, any one of these books could cause a sensation.

What did this indicate?

The group that had infiltrated the Sect not only had formidable strength but also a rich foundation, showing no regard for these precious ancient tomes.

Furthermore, on the other side, antiques and calligraphy paintings were also neatly arranged.

However, due to the fire, they had turned yellowish-brown at the high temperatures.

If taken to auction now, they would not fetch much value.

Seeking vengeance, it seems I have to start from scratch!

Lu Ning sighed, exited the chamber, and re-stacked the boulders to seal the entrance again.

The items inside, after all, were the lifework of the ancestors of the Five Poisons Sect.

That was all he could do for now.

Dad, Mom, I'm leaving!

Lu Ning turned his head to take one deep look at the grave, then strode down the mountain.
