Chapter 624 624 He's Definitely Going to Die! (Third Update)
What was Qin Heng's identity? In the end, no one on Sun Gazing Peak knew.
Qin Heng kept a low profile, and Fang Tianci dared not reveal his identity. Consequently, Fang Tianci still treated Qin Heng with utmost respect, like a servant to a master. He even afforded Ai Su Su and Mo Qing the highest level of luxury treatment.
The most prestigious hotel on Sun Gazing Peak offered them free accommodation, without charging a penny. It also provided the most professional and high-end catering services, ensuring perfection!!
Such arrangements shocked the tourists on Sun Gazing Peak. Fang Tianci's treatment of Qin Heng was like groveling and fawning!
What kind of identity, what kind of immense backing, could make the heir of a conglomerate, whose family company had a market value of thirty billion, engage in such bootlicking!?
Incredible! Truly incredible! In the eyes of many, Fang Tianci's actions were simply incomprehensible, yet this was what was really happening—right before their very eyes!
The night grew deep. It was already ten o'clock, and Sun Gazing Peak was quiet.
People came here primarily to see the sunrise the next morning. They had to get up around three a.m., so everyone went to bed early.
Fang Tianci stayed alone in his room!
BANG!!
He smashed his fist against the wall, his whole body trembling, breathing heavily, his eyes slightly red!!
"Damn it!"
"Damn it!!"
"Damn it all!!!"
BANG!
BANG!
BANG! BANG!!
Fang Tianci kept pounding the wall, trying to vent the suffocation and fury inside him. He felt a flame burning in his chest!!
Fury! He was extremely furious!!
"Qin Heng!! Vice President of Daqin Group!!" Fang Tianci murmured under his breath.
He still vividly remembered the day's events: the strange looks from the crowd when he knelt before Qin Heng, the disbelief in their eyes!!
The son of the chairman of the prestigious Fang's Consortium, kneeling in public, in front of all the tourists, his own subordinates, and the girl he admired!
He had knelt and apologized to the very person he had previously scorned, even slapping himself!!!
Humiliation! An extreme humiliation!!!
"Qin Heng! If I don't avenge this, I swear I'm not a man!!" Fang Tianci gritted his teeth and clenched his fists so tightly his fingernails almost dug into his flesh!
Although he had shown respect to Qin Heng during the day, he was actually suppressing the rage and hatred in his heart. He knew very well that he absolutely could not confront Qin Heng now, or the entire Fang's Consortium would suffer the consequences!!
"So what if it's Daqin Group? Your parents built that! What does that make you, Qin Heng?!"
Fang Tianci took a deep breath, looked at his reflection in the mirror, clenched his jaw, and said, word by word, "One day, I will trample Daqin Group, and you, Qin Heng, beneath my feet!! Thirty years east of the river, thirty years west—never underestimate a young man's potential for a comeback!!"
"What a fine saying, 'Thirty years east of the river, thirty years west.' You have great aspirations, benefactor." Just then, a light laugh suddenly materialized, ringing in Fang Tianci's ears.
"Who's there!?"
Fang Tianci jumped, nearly out of his skin. He knew that if the words he'd just muttered to himself were overheard and reached Qin Heng, he'd be finished!!
"Someone who can help you relieve your inner turmoil," the voice sounded again, seeming to come from everywhere at once.
This shocked Fang Tianci greatly and also terrified him. He could clearly see he was alone in the room—so why was there another voice?
"What are you? Human or ghost!?" Fang Tianci was terrified, cowering in the corner against the wall. "Wh-what do you want?" he stammered. "I-I can burn offerings for you! Please, I beg you, just leave!!"
"Heh heh, weren't you acting so fierce just now? How did you become so timid?"
A white light drifted in from the window, coalescing in Fang Tianci's room into a glowing orb about the height of a man. The light was incredibly bright, illuminating the entire room as if it were day, yet it wasn't dazzling at all.
Then, the orb of light shifted and condensed, and in the blink of an eye, it transformed into a handsome, white-robed monk in his early twenties, a little over 1.7 meters tall.
The monk had a short sword at his waist and his hands clasped. He looked at Fang Tianci with a smile. Seeing Fang Tianci stunned, he said, "This humble monk is Jie Xun of the Boundless Vajra Sect. Greetings, Mr. Fang."
"You, you, you!!??" Fang Tianci was completely dumbfounded, staring incredulously at the white-robed monk, Jie Xun, his eyes filled with shock and disbelief.
A ball of light floated in from the window and turned into a young, white-robed monk right in his room? How was that possible? How could it be!? This is too incredible!! Am I dreaming!?
SLAP!!
Fang Tianci slapped himself. It hurt. He immediately exclaimed, "No, it's not a dream! Heavens! What in the world are you!??"
Seeing Fang Tianci's bewildered state, Jie Xun neither grew angry nor mocked him. He kept his hands clasped, bowed slightly, and said calmly, "This humble monk, Jie Xun of the Boundless Vajra Sect, is merely a Martial Artist."
"Martial Artist!?" Fang Tianci was taken aback; he knew Martial Artists existed.
Realizing the other party wasn't a ghost or deity, Fang Tianci mostly relaxed. "I've heard of Martial Artists," he said. "But I heard that even the most advanced Grandmasters of Transcendence can only perform tricks like walking on water or exhaling sword-light. How could you possibly..."
Turning from light into a person... that's like something from a myth! Can Martial Artists really achieve such magical feats? Wouldn't that make them Immortals? Can martial practice turn someone into an Immortal? Impossible!
"To me, the Transcendence Realm is no different from an ant to a human," Jie Xun said with a slight smile. "Mr. Fang, you need not worry. This monk has come with no ill intentions, only to help you resolve your predicament. For example, by causing the person you hate to fall off a cliff?"
"...Fall, fall off a cliff?" Fang Tianci was shocked, staring at Jie Xun in utter astonishment. "Killing... killing is illegal! And besides, aren't you a monk? How could you..."
"If he falls off the cliff by himself, what does that have to do with you or me?" Jie Xun smiled meaningfully. "As for taking a life, Mr. Fang, you may have heard that even the Buddha has wrathful aspects, subduing demons and vanquishing evil. The path I cultivate is the Vajra way; it certainly doesn't lack for decisiveness in killing!"
"..." Fang Tianci fell silent. After a long pause, he finally said, "Great Monk, can you really make that guy fall off a cliff by himself, with no connection to me?"
"He's merely the young master of a wealthy secular family, no different from an ant," Jie Xun nodded slightly. "The power of an Innate Grandmaster is beyond your comprehension. Tomorrow, you just need to watch the show. His death is certain."
"Then, what do you want?" Fang Tianci didn't believe this monk would help him for no reason.
"This monk wants those two girls by his side," Jie Xun's eyes narrowed slightly as he smiled. "And one hundred million in cash. I'll trouble Mr. Fang for this temple donation; consider it an accumulation of merit for yourself."
"Deal!" Fang Tianci's eyes lit up. His greatest fear wasn't Jie Xun making exorbitant demands, but that he would ask for nothing at all.
A pie-in-the-sky offer like this... he didn't believe it!
Now that Jie Xun had asked for a considerable reward, Fang Tianci felt much more at ease.
「Three in the morning.」
Inside Qin Heng's room.
Qin Heng, who had been deep in a meditative state, his spirit roaming the ocean of Yuan Qi, suddenly opened his eyes.
His gaze turned towards the east.
He muttered, "The sunrise is near, and the Purple Qi is forming. It's time to break the great formation of the Boundless Vajra Sect!"
