Hu Xiaobei watched the rapidly growing vines, his expression growing cold.

In Hu Xiaobei's dantian resided the Nine Wood True Qi.

This Nine Wood True Qi came from various plants...

Thus, Hu Xiaobei felt a kinship with all kinds of plants.

As these vines grew quickly before his eyes, Hu Xiaobei felt their pain...

Hu Xiaobei carefully sensed it, and his expression grew even colder...

Hu Xiaobei knew their rapid growth was because the wizard had infused Witch Qi into the seeds just moments ago.

The Witch Qi that the wizard could control was different from his own Nine Wood True Qi, as it would destroy the essence of the plants.

To put it simply, while the plants seemed to be growing very rapidly now, in reality, the life force within them was severely damaged by the Witch Qi, so they would soon wither and die...

Seeing Hu Xiaobei's cold expression, Wizard Zhu thought Hu Xiaobei was completely terrified...

He let out a chuckle and said, "Boy, are you scared to death? Kneel down now and it's not too late, otherwise, I will immediately have them completely entwine you, suffocate you alive..."

Hearing such a chilling threat, Hu Xiaobei stared back at him deeply...

In an instant, Hu Xiaobei was ready to lash out, to kill him directly.

However, at that moment, Hu Xiaobei suddenly heard a very respectful voice beside his ear.

"Master, this person is somewhat related to me, let me handle this!"

Hearing this, Hu Xiaobei narrowed his eyes, "Somewhat related to you?"

"Yes!"

"Then I understand!"

With a casual nod, Hu Xiaobei stepped back.

Seeing Hu Xiaobei step back, Wizard Zhu sneered, and instantly controlled the vines to quickly chase after him.

In an instant, the pervasive vines transformed into a deep black snake.

Like a snake flicking its tongue, it approached swiftly.

"Terrifying!"

Everyone felt a chill run down their spine the instant the black 'snake' appeared.

Because they all knew if this 'snake' were attacking them, they wouldn't stand a chance.

"Court death!"

At that moment, a chilly voice came through, and the next second, a man also wrapped in a black robe strode forward...

After appearing, he glanced at the deep black 'snake' and simply waved his hand...

Dispersed!

Yes, the originally ferocious 'snake' simply dispersed...

Everyone was stunned...

Lin Yongqiang was also completely dumbfounded...

...

"What... What's going on?"

After murmuring this, he stared bewilderedly at Wizard Zhu.

Very quickly, Lin Yongqiang's face turned extremely unsightly, as he noticed that Wizard Zhu's entire body was trembling.

Not just him, everyone present noticed this...

"Is he having a pee emergency?"

"Yeah, why is he suddenly trembling all over?"

"I have no idea!"

Watching Wizard Zhu's sudden trembling, many people thought somewhat rudely...

Soon, they saw the man who had easily scattered Wizard Zhu's attack walking toward Wizard Zhu.

Quickly, the crisp sound of a slap echoed...

"Slap!"

Watching Wizard Zhu get slapped to the ground with a single slap, Lin Yongqiang and the shareholders of his company felt as if they wanted to die...

Quickly, they shouted frantically...

"What... What's going on?"

"Yeah, why did Wizard Zhu suddenly freeze?"

"Right, fight back."

Perhaps hearing their shouts, the previously puppet-like, dazed Wizard Zhu made a move.

...

"Just say it. How could Wizard Zhu have no reaction!"

"Exactly!"

"The real show has just begun..."

Before they could finish, they were suddenly rendered speechless because, at that moment, the now lucid Wizard Zhu dropped to his knees!

Soon after, his respectful words reached everyone's ears.

"Master, how come you're here?"

"Master?"

Hearing this dumbfounded voice, everyone was stunned.

Lin Yongqiang, especially, was twitching fiercely at the corners of his mouth.

Previously, he had learned from Wizard Zhu that his master was an incredibly formidable character...

He'd always wanted to beseech him to treat his illness, never expecting to encounter him under such circumstances...

...

"What? Do I need to report my whereabouts to you now?"

Hearing this chilling voice, he shivered all over...

Quickly, he hastened to say, "Master, you jest; of course not. You can go wherever you please."

After glancing at Wizard Zhu, he chillingly inquired, "Hm, and why are you here?"

"I..."

His mouth twitched as he glanced at Lin Yongqiang and said, "Master, this is all a misunderstanding, all a misunderstanding!"

Although Wizard Zhu sometimes wasn't the brightest, he knew what to say and what not to say at this moment.

He could tell that his master was evidently in no ordinary relationship with Hu Xiaobei.

Therefore, saying he was here to confront Hu Xiaobei would be tantamount to asking for death.

"Misunderstanding? I feel like you were just about to go against my master!"

"Master? You mean..."

"I'm referring to Master Xiaobei, he's my master."

"Hisss~"

The crowd erupted into an uproar.

Everyone stared in disbelief at the nonchalant Hu Xiaobei...

They had not expected Hu Xiaobei, who'd been so quiet, to have even subdued Wizard Zhu's master.

...

"Little troublemaker, to think you had such a contingency! It worried me just now."

While everyone was in shock, Guo Meiyu murmured softly...

"It's over!"

After his master spoke up, Wizard Zhu knew he had really hit an iron wall this time.

Considering his master, who was a hundred times stronger than him, had become someone else's servant, and yet he was still looking for trouble...

With a pained expression, he looked at Hu Xiaobei and pleaded, "Master Xiaobei, this... this is all a misunderstanding... Give me a chance, please give me a chance."

Hearing his desperate plea, Hu Xiaobei ignored him and looked toward his master instead.

"What do you think?"

Hearing Hu Xiaobei's question, he knew it was time to make his stance clear...

Taking a deep breath, he decisively said, "Master, my disciple here has offended you; it's his own doing. You may punish him as you see fit. If you're too lazy to lift a finger, I am ready to enforce justice even against my kin."

"Master Xiaobei, I was wrong, I was wrong!"

Hearing his master mutter those chilling words, he quivered all over, nearly wetting himself...

"Let's forget about justice against kin. I still need someone to do odd jobs around here. You stay and work for me."

"To work here?"

"What? Do you have a problem with that?"

"No! I'm willing! I'm willing! I'm willing!"

He quickly responded...

He knew that being able to keep his life was fortunate enough, so he naturally wouldn't ask for more...

"En."

Nodding slightly, Hu Xiaobei did not bother with him anymore but turned his gaze to the pale-faced Lin Yongqiang...
