Sincerity

Wang Menglu also checked her mobile phone, gasping at the announcement. "The Alchemist Association really expelled Cheng Zhi! This speed is too fast!"

Doubts filled her mind. Why would Mr. Nie, Cheng Zhi's master, take such swift action against his own apprentice for Horn?

Cheng Zhi, upon hearing Wang Menglu's words, intensified his kowtows, desperate to gain mercy. He begged with a trembling voice, "Young Master Su, please let me go! I'll do anything for you!"

Liu Na, realizing the gravity of the situation, climbed up to Horn, expressing remorse. "Young Master Su, please give me a chance to make up for my mistakes! I'll perform well tonight and satisfy you!" Her suggestive words hung in the air.

Not waiting for Horn's response, Tang Yuxin couldn't hold back her anger. She reached out and grabbed Liu Na's throat, lifting her off the ground. Tang Yuxin scolded her, "Liu Na, you're disgusting. Do you think Horn will like you?"

With a swift motion, Tang Yuxin flicked her arm, causing Liu Na's body to slam into a big tree. Liu Na lost consciousness.

Wang Menglu, astonished by Tang Yuxin's actions, remarked, "Xiao Xinxin, I didn't expect you to have this side!"

Tang Yuxin, a bit embarrassed, muttered, "Who told her to seduce Horn!"

Horn, observing the chaos, looked at Cheng Zhi, who continued to kowtow. "Everyone must be responsible for what they do," he stated firmly.

"Say it," Horn ordered.

He delivered a powerful kick, targeting Cheng Zhi's dantian.

Pfft—

Cheng Zhi's dantian burst open upon impact, his cultivation completely destroyed. A stream of blood gushed from his mouth.

Nie Jiuxuan shouted, "Get out of here! Don't pollute Mr. Su's eyes!"

As master and disciple, Nie Jiuxuan didn't wish to witness Cheng Zhi's demise in this place. Horn, indifferent to further aggression, allowed Cheng Zhi to crawl away. The once haughty figure now lived with the pain of shattered dreams and a ruined cultivation.

Cheng Zhi, feeling the agony of his destroyed dantian, crawled away from the academy like a broken man.

Xu Hu, his throat dry, rushed toward the members of the Alchemy Society. With no words exchanged, he obliterated the dantians of a dozen members.

"You trashes dare to slander Mr. Su. You are really looking for death!" Xu Hu roared in fury.

Amidst the screams, Xu Hu swiftly approached the unconscious Liu Na. As she began to wake, she faced Xu Hu's incoming punch, trembling with fear.

With a resounding pfft, Xu Hu showed no mercy, exploding Liu Na's dantian.

"You insulted Mr. Su repeatedly, you'll be fortunate to be useless from now on," Xu Hu sneered. He then stepped on Liu Na's head, causing cracks to appear as she fell into unconsciousness once more.

Having dealt with them, Horn and Nie Jiuxuan stood amidst the aftermath, the air heavy with tension.

Xu Hu approached Horn respectfully, immediately dropping to his knees without hesitation. Even though he didn't fully comprehend Horn's identity, the unwavering respect displayed by Elder Nie made it clear that Horn was not someone to be trifled with.

"Mr. Su, it's me who can't see Taishan! Please forgive me for being disrespectful to you!" Xu Hu apologized fervently, kowtowing vigorously.

Bang, bang, bang—

The ground shook with each forceful kowtow. Horn, looking down at Xu Hu, was reminded of something from his past.

Before transmigrating to the Immortal World, Horn had faced a bitter winter where he was expelled from his home by a branch of the Su family in Linzhou. Nearly freezing on the street, Xu Hu had come to his aid, directing his men to take him to a hotel for rest.

"This matter ends here! Stand up!" Horn declared.

Recalling their past encounter, Horn decided to show mercy. Xu Hu, noticing Nie Jiuxuan standing respectfully nearby, contemplated the situation. This might be an opportunity for him; crises and opportunities often coexist.

"Mr. Su, I hold 60% of the shares in Liehu Group!" Xu Hu revealed. "I am willing to transfer half of the shares in my name to yours. Please accept it!"

Horn, uninterested in such wealth, remained stoic. Meanwhile, Wang Menglu and Tang Yuxin were left shocked at the revelation that Liehu Group, with a market value of 10 billion, was in Xu Hu's possession.

Half of the shares in Xu Hu's name had a market value of at least 3 billion, a staggering amount that he was willing to give away. This act left everyone, except Nie Jiuxuan, in disbelief. Nie Jiuxuan understood the strength Horn possessed and the formidable force backing him.

Horn calmly declined, stating, "I'm not interested in the shares in your name. Stand up quickly."

The Alchemy Society members were dumbfounded. Refusing three billion? The realization of the magnitude of their offense sank in, and regret gnawed at them.

Xu Hu, refusing to stand, turned to Tang Yuxin and implored, "Mr. Su is unwilling to accept half of the shares in my name. Can you accept it for Mr. Su? I'm begging you, just think of it as helping me!"

Tang Yuxin hesitated. Xu Hu then added, "If you are not willing to accept it, I will kneel here until I die!"

Tang Yuxin glanced at Horn, contemplating her decision. Xu Hu's sincerity was evident, and Horn, recognizing it, supported the idea.

Wang Menglu whispered to Tang Yuxin, exploiting her weakness, "Xiao Xinxin, cultivating an immortal is very expensive. Don't you want to catch up with Horn? Don't you want to keep going with him?"

This struck a chord with Tang Yuxin. Reluctantly, she nodded, and Horn acknowledged Xu Hu's gesture of goodwill.
