Chapter 18: Respect Me Like a Ghost

Using tea to harm the enemy requires the use of many internal energies. Although Chu Yi has mastered many techniques that far exceed his peers, his energy is still fixed as he is only in the early stage of martial arts.

After using this technique, his body was slightly weakened and it would be almost impossible for him to perform another attack like that again.

Fortunately, he had already intimidated the opponent and no one dared to act recklessly.

Chu Yi looked at the copper coin in the opponent's hand and said: "Since you lost, this copper coin belongs to me."

He reached out and took hold of the copper coin from Wei Fu's palm without touching it directly.

Although not as shocking as before, it still amazed Fan Hong and others.

Wei Fu could confirm that Chu Yi was indeed a martial artist who belonged to the same level as his master. He was not someone Wei Fu could fight against.

"Do you have any objections?" Chu Yi asked.

Wei Fu trembled with fear and fell on his backside. He regretted acting arrogantly earlier. He did not dare show any emotions now when looking at Chu Yi's eyes which were like those of a cat staring at a mouse or an eagle flying towards its prey.

He begged for mercy saying: "Please spare me sir! I don't dare anymore! Just now I was possessed by evil spirits! If you want this artifact then take it!"

Chu Yi lightly rubbed his finger over the surface of the copper coin which appeared old with signs of aging due to being placed in an area where yin energy accumulated heavily for at least thousands years. It wasn't really an artifact but rather contaminated by yin energy which caused hallucinations in people who came into contact with it.

For ordinary people whose yin-yang balance is stable they wouldn't get sick easily but if exposed too much they will experience an imbalance which can cause harm to their body.

For Chu Yi, this copper coin was not very useful but the spiritual energy attached to it was much purer than that of the outside world. Absorbing it could accelerate his cultivation progress.

"Let's use this copper coin to offset what happened earlier. Of course, if you still have any grievances, come at me and I'll accompany you anytime." Chu Yi said knowing that Wei Fu had a master.

However, he did not care as in the immortal realm there were many cases where disciples fought against their masters or even their masters' masters.

But no one was his match.

Everyone revered him like a god or demon, otherwise he wouldn't have the titles of Chu Yanwang and Yanluo Xianzun.

When Wei Fu heard this, cold sweat dripped down his forehead. He had indeed thought about inviting his master to seek revenge, but now he suddenly realized that perhaps his own master was not a match for this terrifying young man in front of him.

"I dare not, I dare not. If you're okay, disciple will take my leave," he said hastily without daring to stay any longer. He left in a hurry, afraid that if the other person breathed out heavily, there would be a hole in his forehead.

Fan Hong and others couldn't believe their eyes when they saw this scene.

Wei Fu was such an extraordinary figure who lived in a villa on the outskirts of Jiujiang City and had already become famous before. Recently, he had even more fame by defeating various masters and dominating everything.

Fan Hong valued his martial prowess which is why he invited him here.

But such an outstanding figure lost miserably in front of Chu Yi and even had all his treasures taken away without daring to say anything before leaving with embarrassment written all over his face.

Zhao Yue and others may still be unaware of it but Fan Hong at this level has heard something or another about it. Although their status is high, there are some people whom they cannot offend - people like Wei Fu.

Even if they could kill Wei Fu themselves, what about Wei Fu's master? Who can defend against those remote killing methods?

Of course Fan Hong didn't know that even now Chu Yi couldn't block bullets with just flesh alone; there were still many ways to kill warriors.

"This is truly someone great! I always thought we overestimated him before but now I realize that we haven't given enough credit." Fan Hong clenched both hands tightly as she looked excitedly at Chu Yi who had been calm and composed on the sofa from beginning to end.

In a flash, everything was over. This was such an impressive display of power that it surpassed even owning billions.

"Hong Boss, we're out of tea," Chu Yi signaled.

Fan Hong woke up abruptly: "Bring in some good tea, Ah Lang!"

"No need, I'll do it myself..."

After speaking, Fan Hong brewed a pot of precious tea that he himself couldn't bear to drink. Now, he took it out with great pleasure and handed it to Chu Yi in person.

"Don't be polite, Boss Hong. I won't eat you up. Now you pay the money and I'll do the job. It's just like when we were at Dunhuang KTV before," joked Chu Yi. Many people who cultivate immortality become serious and unsmiling later on, but Chu Yi is different.

Even immortals enjoy earthly pleasures.

Perhaps it is this attitude that has made his cultivation extremely smooth.

Fan Hong shook his head like an electric fan, feeling helpless: "Teacher Chu, please don't make fun of me. How could I dare?"

Chu Yi took the tea and got down to business: "I've taken your case, but I'll decide on the timing. I'm not free this weekend so we may have to wait until next weekend."

This week Chu Yi wanted to go to Wang Ling's house for investigation and solve this problem.

"No rush, no rush. Let that fool wait another week longer; if you can wait for him then it's also his good fortune," said Fan Hong as if he was treating Chu Yi as a godfather.

Standing beside them were three men named Ah Lang, Ah Hu and Zhao Yue whose faces twitched uncontrollably because they had never seen their boss act like this before even when facing wealthy businessmen from the provincial capital city - always upright and confident.

But when they thought about what Chu Yi had done earlier which defied common sense, they too felt convinced in their hearts.

People are always full of awe towards unknown fields.

"Boss Hong, don't treat me like some kind of mafia boss or something; let's just be peers from now on. You can think of me as an ordinary teacher," waved off Chu Yi, then continued, "But I do have a few things to trouble you with."

"Please tell me. If it's something I can't handle, I'll make sure to get it done for you," Fan Hong was overjoyed. He had been worried before that he couldn't win over someone like Chu Yi with money and could only rely on emotions.

"It's like this: I want you to investigate a person - my mother," said Chu Yi.

His own mother had lived in Jiujiang City for a period of time, and with Fan Hong's energy, there might be some clues.

"Huh?" For a moment, Fan Hong didn't understand.

"Let me put it this way. My mother disappeared when I was very young. I have no information or clues about her. You can investigate me and my father's various information. As long as there is any clue, please notify me immediately."

In the previous life, although Chu Yi stood at the pinnacle of the fairy world, he once went crazy during his cultivation process and lost almost all memories before the age of five. Even if he wanted to retrieve them, he didn't know where to start.

This life he came back was to reunite with his family. No matter what obstacles lay ahead, Chu Yi would find his mother.

Fan Hong nodded repeatedly: "Don't worry Mr.Chu, we will definitely find some clues. Moreover even if we can't find anything here in Jiujiang city ,I still have connections over at Chu Family in provincial capital . They are quite powerful with their industries spread across different regions."

At the mention of Chu Family , Fan Hong also showed respect on his face . It was one of the largest financial groups in Jiangnan Province whose wealth could easily crush him within minutes .

Those children from wealthy families were naturally superior beings who manipulated everything behind-the-scenes; they were not on par with upper-class society in Jiujiang City at all.

He had been staying in provincial capital for some time now just to establish good relations with Chu Family . Although their attitude was arrogant ,there has been some progress made .

"Chu Family from Qinhua City?" Suddenly placing down his cup heavily onto table startled everyone including Fan Hong .

Fan Hong swallowed nervously and asked cautiously: "Mr.Chu , do you have any grudges against Chu Family?"

Chu Yi sneered, his mood suddenly becoming impatient. If Chu Family had supported his parents' marriage back then, things wouldn't have turned out like this.

"Chu Huaige is my grandfather. Do you think it's a grudge?"

Fan Hong was shocked and even Ah Lang and the others doubted their own ears.
