Peerless Little Immortal Doctor

Chapter 238 Getting Something for Nothing

Xia Liu really wanted to give Huasheng a thumbs-up; this old man was incredible!

"Hehe, you've noticed, haven't you? Without my consent, you're definitely not taking Fei'er away."

Huasheng didn't avoid admitting it; since he had learned about the relationship between Fang Fei and Xia Liu, he had been planning all this.

Starting from the initial torpedo testing of Xia Liu's strength to witnessing him walk on water like a deity.

He was convinced that Xia Liu was the man he was looking for, and the most suitable person for the task at hand.

As for his title of Nether Emperor, Huasheng also knew some secrets, which was why he had always wanted to recruit Xia Liu into the Spearhead Troop.

If Xia Liu agreed to join the Spearhead Troop, then there was a great chance that Spearhead would become the strongest troop in Huaxia.

The reason he had involved Lingtian was that the Heaven Slaying also had such a task.

It would probably only be a few hours before Lingtian received a call to return.

Since it had to be discussed, Huasheng decided to speak plainly.

"Old man, are you planning to use me to kill someone by proxy?" Xia Liu said unreservedly.

"Xia Liu! This is General Fang's trust in you, it's an opportunity! Please, don't disrespect it!"

Upon hearing Xia Liu tease Huasheng, Ouyang Lingtian said angrily.

"It's okay, Lingtian. First, take a look at the documents." Huasheng was not angry at all because he believed that Xia Liu was the only one who could complete the task!

"Xia Liu, with your strength, not to mention a 5S-rated task, you could probably even handle a 9S."

"Thanks for the compliment, old man, but I still can't do it. I need to stay alive to take care of Sister Fang," Xia Liu said, waving his hand.

"You could refuse my invitation to join Spearhead before, but not now, hahaha..."

Huasheng smiled gleefully.

Before, he had no way to deal with Xia Liu; he let him enjoy his freedom temporarily. Find exclusive stories on My Virtual Library Empire

Now, well...

Who else but you should I trick when the Nether Emperor falls in love with my granddaughter?

"Old man, I really have no interest in joining Spearhead. Please, just spare me and Sister Fang," Xia Liu pleaded bitterly.

He knew this old guy wouldn't make it easy; after all this time, he was still insisting Xia Liu join Spearhead.

"Hehe, who asked you to fall for my granddaughter? If you don't want to go, that's also fine; I believe Lingtian would be very happy to."

"Of course! As a warrior in the Heaven Slaying Troop, it is my honor to contribute to Huaxia!" Ouyang Lingtian vowed.

"Idiot!"

"What did you say, Xia Liu!" Ouyang Lingtian glared at Xia Liu, no matter that he was the Nether Emperor, Heaven Slaying must not be insulted!

Moreover, Ouyang Lingtian had his trump card; he dared not claim to be stronger than Xia Liu, but he believed in his power to compete!

"Never mind, forget what I said." Xia Liu shook his head and then said to Huasheng, "Old man, this time you're having me do a 5S task; what will you ask of me next time?"

Xia Liu didn't want to be led around by the nose by Huasheng forever.

This old guy was clearly cunning; having made the request once, there would definitely be a second time.

Therefore, before executing the task, he needed some commitment from him.

"You are very cautious, which is excellent." Huasheng looked at Xia Liu, his smile deepening: "As long as you can complete this task, I won't stop you from being with Fei'er."

"Alright! I agree!"

Xia Liu declared without any hesitation, with Huasheng's words, just completing the task and returning, he wouldn't bother with anyone else.

If the Ouyang Family came asking, he would just send them to Huasheng.

"Xia Liu, the old man promised me but didn't promise you; I won't give up on Fang Fei," Ouyang Lingtian said gravely, furrowing his brows.

"Whether you agree or not is up to you, but Sister Fang is mine."

Xia Liu wouldn't bother with him.

Fang Fei had made it clear enough: if she doesn't like him, she just doesn't like him.

"You!" Ouyang Lingtian was so angry he almost jumped up.

"Do you dare to bet with me?" Then Ouyang Lingtian shifted his gaze to the documents, a wicked smile slowly spreading.

"Not interested…"

...

Watching Ouyang Lingtian fuming, Xia Liu completely ignored him, causing Fang Huasheng and Yi Feng to almost burst out laughing.

"Not even this much courage, how pitiful."

"Can't you be mature like me, Ouyang Lingtian? Using provocation? Do you think I'd fall for that?" Xia Liu was speechless; this guy really was relentless when he's crazed.

"Pfft!" Ouyang Lingtian almost spat blood.

"Hahaha…" Fang Huasheng and Yi Feng finally couldn't hold back their laughter.

The two were like nemeses, but there was a unique flavor to their enmity.

If they could walk side by side, perhaps they could become friends, Yi Feng thought.

"Xia Liu! I want to have a duel with you! Whoever wins gets Fang Fei!" Unable to endure the laughter of Fang Huasheng and Yi Feng, Ouyang Lingtian directed his anger at Xia Liu.

"Old man, you heard that right, this guy is using Sister Fang as a bargaining chip, how terrible."

"Xia Liu! Don't frame me!"

Ouyang Lingtian panicked, and he also regretted it, as he accidentally gave Xia Liu an opportunity.

This statement could easily lead to a misunderstanding from Fang Huasheng.

"Haha, how interesting, Lingtian, don't be angry, Xia Liu is just joking." Seeing Ouyang Lingtian ready to burst, Fang Huasheng laughed.

"Heh, since you want to lose, then I'll just grant your wish!"

Since the elders had spoken, it'd be hypocritical of Xia Liu not to respond.

"Alright! Whoever completes the task first wins! The bet is leaving Fang Fei!"

Ouyang Lingtian said solemnly.

"I'm in till the end!"

"Very good, two spirited youngsters, how about the old man joins in a round?" Seeing their energetic anger, Fang Huasheng seemed to have shed countless years.

"Hmm, old man, what do you want to do?" Xia Liu asked, puzzled.

"I want to bet with Lingtian."

"With me? General Fang, what's this about?"

Ouyang Lingtian was confused; he had no idea what the old man was really planning.

"If Xia Liu completes the task first, you'll transfer to the Spearhead Troop."

Uh uh uh…

Ouyang Lingtian stood frozen, he couldn't believe the elder would make such a statement, showing his immense confidence in Xia Liu.

"Alright! I accept."

"Haha, that's the spirit! Xia Liu, you know what to do, right?" Fang Huasheng looked at Xia Liu with a grin.

Since this guy refused to join the Spearhead, pulling in a stalwart like Ouyang Lingtian was indispensable.

"Old man, honestly, I really admire you." Xia Liu was not oblivious to Fang Huasheng's intention—he was quite skilled at leveraging what he didn't own.

Knowing that he wouldn't join the Spearhead, he decided to try to pull Ouyang Lingtian under his command using him.

The maneuvers were evident.

What was sad was that Ouyang Lingtian had actually agreed.

Ouyang Lingtian just smiled and said nothing. He understood what the elder was thinking…

"Everything is settled, then let's check out this 5S-level task."
