Chapter 19, The Nineteenth Chapter: White Lotus?

[Captain Wei's cultivation was completely destroyed later, and the main reason can be attributed to Meng Siyu. Don't be fooled by his pitiful appearance now; he was quite the stabber in the back.]

[A dog that bites doesn't bark. When Meng's parents were using moral blackmail against Captain Wei, Meng Siyu remained silent, observing quietly, and then reaped the benefits.]

Every time he sought to profit, he would have his parents take the lead. If they succeeded, everything was fine; if they failed, he would take over himself.

[Just like now, showing his scars, they are both brothers, yet their lives are worlds apart. Can Captain Wei still bear to refuse his request?]

Lou Yuqing looked anxiously at Wei Houming, fearing that he had been deceived by Meng Siyu.

Si Nidie took a deep breath and thought to herself: It's not a big problem, we all heard it.

But Meng Siyu is such a good actress.

She clearly witnessed him pretending to be a woman to swindle spirit stones, so she shouldn't think he was a kind-hearted person.

But after his performance of singing, reciting, and acting, she subconsciously ignored the past and instead felt that he was indeed a bit pitiful.

Kui Houming felt a surge of shock and a chilling aura coursing through his body. He was still trying to defend the other party, only to find out that it was all an act.

Was it that he was too trusting, or was Meng Siyu simply more skilled?

Kui Houming's gaze suddenly deepened as he looked at the other man, like a black vortex that tugged at Meng Siyu's entire mind, making him feel as if his soul was about to be trapped inside.

Meng Siyu's heart skipped a beat, and an ominous premonition surged into his mind; things seemed to be slipping out of his control.

What happened?

Could it be that Wei Houming's previous emotional outburst was an act?

Stay calm and don't panic.

Meng Siyu stubbornly raised his eyes to meet Kui Houming's gaze, showing no sign of flinching. Only his reddened eyes silently conveyed his grievances and sorrow.

Kui Houming's expression changed, and he remained silent for a long time.

“My parents have spent all their savings on my medical treatment. This house is just for show, nice to look at but useless. We are already penniless. Do you want to make things even worse for us?”

Meng Siyu had long seen that the other party was a cold-faced but warm-hearted person. Many times before, he had spoken up to give his parents a chance, but unfortunately, his parents did not seize it.

Letting things continue as they are will only lead them in a direction that is detrimental to them.

Meng Siyu abandoned the idea of ​​reaping the benefits without effort and faced Wei Houming head-on, maintaining his previous attitude towards him. Changing his attitude halfway through was clearly not going to work.

Only the most natural reactions can make someone appear innocent and guileless.

This would minimize Wei Houming's wariness of him and at the same time make him feel more at ease, thus achieving his goal.

It's not enough to merely dispel Wei Houming's desire for revenge; we must also evoke his sense of guilt, so that he will pay out of his own pocket to cure his ailment.

Meng Siyu thought everything would proceed as planned. Wei Houming's expression towards him showed obvious signs of softening. All he needed to do was add fuel to the fire, and he would achieve his goal.

With this connection established, things became much easier to handle.

Meng Siyu had already planned it all out. Under the guise of repaying a debt of gratitude, he would legitimately approach Wei Houming. Eventually, he would find an opportunity.

It was impossible for Kui Houming to completely get rid of them.

As a result, Wei Houming's attitude changed for some reason.

Thinking of this, Meng Siyu felt a sense of unease, but he immediately suppressed it. To put it bluntly, he had not done anything to wrong Wei Houming, and the other party could not find any weakness in him.

Little did he know that Wei Houming had an "external cheat" for reporting enemy positions.

[If we're talking about the originator of PUA (Pick-Up Artist) techniques, it has to be Meng Siyu.]

Just by looking at the questionable actions of Meng's parents, you can tell they aren't good parents, nor could they possibly have overflowing paternal and maternal love and have devoted themselves to Meng Siyu for decades.

That's because Meng Siyu learned brainwashing techniques on his own, and his parents were his first test subjects, where the effects were very significant.

[With sunk costs too high, the Meng couple simply couldn't let go of Meng Siyu and could only focus on earning spirit stones to fill this huge hole he was in.]

He has never been a simple person.

The reason Meng's parents came up with the idea of ​​using their own flesh and blood as a blood transfusion was because Meng Siyu secretly guided them!

Lou Yuqing's innermost thoughts reached everyone's ears like a thunderbolt.

Unaware of his own predicament, Meng Siyu, seeing that Wei Houming remained silent, relentlessly pressed on, "Why aren't you saying anything? Are you feeling guilty?"

The boy stood tall like a young poplar, but his slightly trembling voice revealed that he was not as confident as he seemed.

He is good at making use of his strengths.

But this trick didn't work anymore.

Kui Houming turned back to look at his performance and found it extremely irritating. He said coldly, "Your suffering was not caused by me, so don't blame me. I'm here today to settle things with you!"

Meng Siyu seemed surprised by his words, and after a long pause, she murmured, "Why? Is it because you feel that we poor relatives have disgraced you after you've become successful?"

He said it on purpose. Kui Houming's expression was too indifferent. He had to break the other party's mask and let him fall into his rhythm.

However, before Wei Houming could speak, Si Nidie shouted, "What's shameful isn't your poverty, but your venom! And you, Meng Siyu, are the most venomous of all!"

"Back then, you encouraged Captain Wei's parents to have a second child, intending to use him as a blood donor. Did you think Captain Wei was kept in the dark about this?"

Meng Siyu's pupils contracted sharply, and his heart sank into an abyss.

How did they know?!

Such a secret thing, barring any unforeseen circumstances, will never be discovered by anyone in their lifetime.

Lou Yuqing looked at Si Nidie in surprise.

[So my senior sister knew too; Captain Wei must have told her.]

Si Nidie and Wei Houming: That's not it.

On the other side, Kui Tu glared with his tiger-like eyes, emanating an immense pressure: "You junior are so vicious! I have never seen such an inhuman person before!"

Unable to withstand his oppressive aura, Meng Siyu collapsed to the ground, her face drained of color and her body trembling erratically.

This isn't an act.

The pressure exerted by a Nascent Soul cultivator is truly immense!

Meng Siyu originally wanted to resolve the matter between himself and Wei Houming, trying to prevent Elder Wei Tu from getting involved, but now it seems that's impossible.

"Father, Mother..."

Meng Siyu's expressive eyes welled up with tears, instantly arousing the heartache of the Meng couple.

"Xiaoyu!"

With a loud shout, Meng's mother defied the oppressive aura and came to Meng Siyu's side, trying to pull him up, while Meng's father supported Meng Siyu's other arm.

They didn't believe each other, even though Xiaoyu had always been very well-behaved.

The family of three was kneeling on the ground, looking quite pitiful.

"Did the Meng family offend some bullies?"

"We're all neighbors, it wouldn't be right to just sit idly by and do nothing, would it?"

"Are you crazy? They clearly have ill intentions. We shouldn't get involved, or we'll lose our lives!"

"That makes sense. Why don't we report it to the city's guards?"

The residents of Sunset Street were drawn to the commotion and began pointing and whispering among themselves.

Everyone: "..."

I'm innocent!

A dark glint flashed in Meng Siyu's eyes. He thought to himself that he had to fight to the death to survive. He looked up and questioned, "You say one minute that my parents used Kui Houming as a blood pledge, and the next minute that I instigated my parents to use Kui Houming as a blood pledge, but where is the evidence?"

Mencius' mother cried out, "Yes, we have already said we didn't! Why are you so relentless in your persuasion? Are you determined to nail us to the pillar of shame?"

Meng's father shielded the mother and son, shouting, "If you want to attack, attack me! Don't hurt them! Everything is my fault!"

This tactic of retreating to advance is extremely clever; anyone can see his helplessness.

The residents were misled and started talking about it.

"My God, although life is tough for us in the Northwest District, they're too arrogant! They're openly bullying us!"

"You don't care, I don't care, who knows if we'll be next!"

"Then what's the point of you going up there? Hurry up and call the guards over. They might have a bounty on them, and you might be able to make a small fortune."

Taking advantage of their numbers, the residents started talking about it in front of Lou Yuqing and the others, treating them as criminals with prior convictions.

Everyone fell silent again.

Bounty money my ass! They're law-abiding citizens!

Elder Kui Tu snorted coldly, and the pressure of a Nascent Soul cultivator immediately spread out, enveloping the entire street: "All of you, shut up!"

After these words were spoken, all around fell silent.

The residents' voices seemed to have been cut off.

Meng Siyu cursed inwardly that it was useless.

If the residents heard this, they would definitely be indignant. After all, who would dare to oppose a powerful cultivator? That would be courting death.

Yes, the moment they felt the pressure, they knew that the muscular middle-aged man in front of them was a senior with profound magical power.

The ironclad rule of the cultivation world: the strong prey on the weak!

If they anger the other party, they will be in big trouble.

On the contrary, they also blamed the Meng family a little. If the Meng family hadn't offended this senior, they wouldn't be in such a dilemma, wanting to leave but not daring to, and suffering greatly if they stayed.

Lou Yuqing watched the whole thing and was moved to write this.

Indeed, truth lies only within the range of cannons, and dignity resides only on the edge of a sword. To silence everyone, we must rely on hard power.

Si Nidie raised her chin: Who says otherwise?

Gu Bugai glanced at his young apprentice, seemingly lost in thought. He didn't understand the words at first, but upon reflection, they made more and more sense.

Elder Kui Tu nodded in satisfaction. Seeing that the Meng family dared not speak out in anger, he said coolly, "You want evidence, right? All I have here is my fist. Are you going to eat it or not?"

The Meng family members looked like they had eaten shit.

Faced with absolute power, even if they are full of schemes, they are helpless.

Are they destined to be taken away by the other side today?

Meng's mother's hand, which was gently stroking Meng Siyu's back, suddenly stopped, and waves of panic surged up in her heart.

"Xiaoyu..."

Knowing his son was exceptionally intelligent, Meng's father immediately stepped forward to salvage the fragile family relationship after their attempts to establish a connection with Kui Houming failed.

He originally thought that if Wei Houming could cure Xiaoyu's weakness, then Xiaoyu could help the couple after he became successful.

As a result, it was all destroyed by Wei Houming.

I shouldn't have had him in the first place!

Meng's father thought resentfully.

Kui Houming noticed the look in Meng's father's eyes, and his heart sank.

Just then, Meng Siyu said softly, "Father, the guards are here."

The Meng family is certain.

There's hope!
