Section 9: The Great Wisdom Appears Foolish
Before long, on the rooftop, a father and son sat side by side, gazing up at the bright moon
Amidst the smoke and dust, He Xuan's voice emerged, followed by his disheveled figure stumbling out of the haze. A small bruise appeared at the corner of his mouth. Facing two martial disciples alone, he had carelessly taken a punch from one of them.
Upon introspecting his body, he discovered that it was interwoven with countless rivers, as dense as the stars in the sky
At night, in the He family, He Wudi's expression was not very pleasant: "Where is Xuan'er?"
Liu Ziqiang initially believed that everything was under his control, spending the entire afternoon waiting for news from Ahei. However, what he received instead was Ahei's mutilated body. He Xuan did not kill Ahei; he merely severed his hands, cut off his ears, and, of course, his tongue. He wanted Ahei to live, to convey a message to Liu Ziqiang: although he Xuan had become a cripple, he was still protected by skilled individuals.
"Good, I believe in you!" He Wudi smiled, patted He Xuan on the shoulder, and said with satisfaction, "You are more mature than before, no longer as ostentatious as you used to be. Very good, very good. Haha"
In the past, the God of Killing shocked the world. Having received the legacy of the God of Killing, how could he disappoint the God of Killing or himself
Yes, I can cultivate again. The genius of Liu City has returned! However, you cannot possibly reveal this secret.
Xuan'er, it is not that your father does not trust you, but rather your second uncle, third uncle, and even your grandfather...
... ...
He has been in this world for almost a month. Despite his efforts to play the role of He Xuan, he always feels a sense of loneliness and desolation within. In this world, no one understands him. Ultimately, he is not a person of this world. However, he has never expressed this loneliness and desolation.
He Xuan snatched the dagger from Heishou's hand, his lips still curled into a smile, a smile that appeared increasingly bloodthirsty.
Xuan'er, since it is like this, what about the matters at the storefront? At this moment, He Wudi, like A Wang, increasingly felt unable to see through He Xuan. He naturally knew about He Xuan's actions in recent days
Then the father wondered whether a shrewd person is more likely to arouse suspicion, or if a lazy person is more likely to do so
Young Master, I believe you can see it without me having to say anything, right? During this period, the businesses of the elixir shop, the commercial stores, the weapon shop, and the taverns have all been exceedingly bleak. We are facing a deficit, Young Master. At this rate, within three days, our capital will be exhausted, and many of our storefronts are likely to be acquired by the other two major families. The assets of the He family will shrink by more than fifty percent. It will take at least ten years of hard work to regain that fifty percent of assets. We are facing a deficit, Young Master.

It may even be impossible to recover them forever. Young Master, have you thought of a solution? Since you mentioned hoarding medicinal materials, there has been no sign of a shortage of medicinal materials in Liucheng. " A-Wang appeared very anxious, "Young Master, do you really have a way to bring us back from the brink?"
He Wudi clearly has not adapted to He Xuan's changes: "You are very astute now, giving off an impression of being inscrutable. This is very different from your previous laziness and casualness"
Hello, Awang, how has business been lately
A few muffled sounds echoed, followed by several figures flying out from the dust, landing on the ground with a thud, motionless.
Is it already afternoon? I should go to the store for a turn, and by the way, see if there are any beautiful women on the way to feast my eyes. Tsk tsk. " He thought indulgently, stopping his training and leaving the library. Today marks the final step of his plan. Although he is not a prophet, he is confident, having a ninety percent certainty that the traitor will reveal themselves the day after tomorrow. Speaking of undercover operations, even if he doesn't know much, he has seen plenty of movies in his past life. Today marks the final step of his plan.

Before a practitioner reaches the level of a martial artist, they must supplement their nutrition through food. However, once they attain the martial artist level, they can go ten days or even half a month without eating without any issues. Upon reaching the level of a combat madman, the importance of eating diminishes, as the internal fighting energy can provide power throughout the body. Yet, before reaching the level of a combat madman, He Xuan still has to obediently consume food.
Ah, ah, ah, ah, your mother. Why don't you speak up!
All things are born to nourish humanity, yet humanity offers no kindness in return to the heavens? Love, hate, emotions, grievances—why is the way of heaven so unjust? Kill, kill, kill, kill, kill, kill!
Poor Akuro can neither hear nor speak now, only able to shout aimlessly. This provokes Liu Ziqiang, who becomes extremely agitated, and only after a long while does he realize that Akuro's tongue has been cut off. Enraged, he shouts even louder
He Xuan smiled faintly, did not answer the question, but simply said: "Father, it has been a long time since we sat on the roof and chatted like this, hasn't it"
Aguo observed closely; all these figures were sent by him. They all died with blood flowing from their seven orifices, as if their internal organs had been shattered by immense force. Even those two martial disciples had blood at the corners of their mouths and appeared listless. Although they did not die immediately, they were not far from death.
He is practicing in the room. What’s wrong, you have a dark expression on your face?" Jiang Mengru spoke up
He Xuan stroked his chin, frowning as he walked towards A Hei. His languid gaze regained its wisdom, deep as the night sky.
Tell me, what is going on? How did you become like this? Speak, go ahead and speak! Liu Ziqiang resembled a wild beast.
A sleepless night; ever since he began cultivating, He Xuan has rarely slept, always striving to make the most of every moment in his training. He does not wish to waste a single second. This is also the reason why he does not linger too long when he goes to the store; he is not lazy, but rather very diligent. Laziness is merely a facade he puts on. He understands deeply that even a genius, if not diligent, can be surpassed by a fool. Hard work can make up for shortcomings; this saying holds a certain truth.

"En, Xuan'er, I indeed have matters to discuss with you. Come here, and let us, father and son, go out and talk."
Naturally, he is a lazy person. Xuan'er, what do you mean? He Wudi seemed to understand He Xuan's intention.
He Wudi was taken aback, then nodded slightly
Father. I understand that the situation at the storefront is not optimistic, and my extravagant spending of the storefront's funds only adds to the difficulties, potentially leading to its collapse and acquisition by the other two major families. However, Father, you should trust me. There is a purpose behind my actions. Last time we discussed the traitor, didn't we? This time, I will make the traitor reveal themselves! It will be soon. Isn't Uncle Luoda's wedding in three days? On that day, the traitor will show their true colors. " He Xuan smiled slightly, as if everything was under his control, demonstrating true strategic planning, far surpassing Liu Ziqiang.
Today is a good day. First, let's go out for breakfast
Liu Ziqiang has truly lost his composure, to the extent that he does not consider whether he has the power to bring down the He family. This is because he does not understand that the existence of the He family is intentional on the part of the Liu family, aimed at creating a mutual check between the He family and the Luo family. However, if he were to understand this, he would no longer be Liu Ziqiang
Bang bang bang bang
Xuan'er, how have the storefront and the books been recently?" He Wudi sighed and finally asked the question he wanted to know.
Father, rest assured. Xuan'er is not foolish, nor will I let you down. I remember a long time ago, on this very rooftop, I told you that although the world is vast, there will come a day when the name of the He family will be remembered, and the name of He Xuan will endure. I said this in the past, and I say it now as well. I will not disappoint you. " He Xuan gazed into the distance with his black eyes, as if his heart had already soared away. The distinction between the 'me' of the past and the 'me' of the present is something only he understands. I will not let you down. " He Xuan gazed into the distance with his black eyes, as if his heart had already soared away. The distinction between the 'me' of the past and the 'me' of the present is something only he understands.
Father, I know that your pressure is considerable as well. But please hold on. This plan is at its final stage
After finishing his meal, he entered the room to practice again. As for what he was doing inside, Jiang Mengru and He Wudi had never mentioned it, but they couldn't help but feel curious. Unfortunately, He Xuan had completely sealed the room. The originally paper-windowed door had also been replaced with a modern wooden door, all to prevent his parents from peeking.
He Xuan suddenly sat up, the laziness in his eyes vanished without a trace. His pair of black eyes was terrifyingly deep, radiating bursts of brilliance. He stared at He Wudi and said: "Father, do you think there is any change in me now?"
These meridians appear to be many of the hidden meridians in the human body. Unfortunately, in my previous life, I did not conduct much research on human anatomy and do not understand the structure of human meridians. Otherwise, when reversing the meridians, I might have been able to save a lot of trouble and time.
The storefront where the He family is located can still be described as bleak. When He Xuan first visited the storefront, there were quite a few people wandering the streets. However, during his recent visits, he has personally witnessed a continuous decline in the number of tourists. Now, most of the people walking on the street are merely passersby, as one must pass through here to reach the bustling market.
He Xuan! I never expected that there would be hidden experts around you. If you do not kill him, do you intend to mock my overestimation of my own abilities? You, a useless person, what right do you have? What exactly gives you that right? Since I cannot bring you down, I will first ruin the storefront of the He family! Congratulations, you have successfully angered me. I now realize that killing you would only benefit you. I will bring down your He family! Congratulations, you have successfully angered me. I now realize that killing you would only benefit you. I will bring down your He family!
Father, are you looking for me?" He Xuan, who had just finished his training, opened the door and heard He Wudi's voice
Standing up, I looked out the window; the morning sun had risen again, and the autumn sunlight warmed my body immensely
Aguo merely gazed weakly and exhaustedly at Liu Ziqiang, emitting a sound of despair. His entire body was covered in blood, his hands had been brutally severed, and his ears had also vanished, presenting a grotesque appearance
With a swift motion of the knife, blood splattered everywhere, and the cries of anguish echoed across the wilderness. He Xuan discarded the dagger in his hand and departed with nonchalance
Damn, it hurts!
After a night had passed, He Xuan felt that the fighting energy within him had become increasingly refined. Although there was not much increase in speed, he could sense that the amount of fighting energy had been compressed significantly.
... ...
How is that possible! You... you... aren't you useless? Could it be that you...
Father, if you have something to say, just say it. He Xuan lay back lazily, staring at the bright moon in a daze, and after a long while finally spoke.
"Young Master, you have arrived," A-Wang greeted He Xuan at the intersection as usual.
Two fathers and sons walked shoulder to shoulder, gazing up at the bright moon. Alongside them was Liu Ziqiang, but he was not in the mood to appreciate the moon; instead, he let out a furious roar! He then lowered his head to look at the dejected Ah Hei beneath him, whose body trembled with anger.
At this moment, Ahei was stunned, looking at He Xuan as if he had seen a ghost
