The City of Terror

Now, Wei Xiao Bei could not refuse to go back anymore. He could only promise that he would return tomorrow.

After hanging up, Wei Xiao Bei wiped away the sweat on his forehead and gazed at Zhu Xin Yi with a bit of hesitation.

Previously, Wei Xiao Bei wanted Zhu Xin Yi to play the role of his girlfriend and deceive his mother.

This plan was an excellent one. Although Zhu Xin Yi’s appearance could not be considered to be one in ten thousand, it was at the very least one in a thousand. She had big breasts and child-bearing hips. Her disposition was also good. If his mother had a daughter-in-law like her, she would probably have pleasant dreams for a long time.

However, it was different now.

His relationship with her was different now.

Zhu Xin Yi had already entered discipleship and became his disciple.

Even a disciple in name was still a disciple.

If other people knew that a master had asked their disciple to be their temporary girlfriend, he would lose a lot of face.

Wei Xiao Bei was not a licentious, prodigal son, so he treated these kinds of problems seriously.

No matter what was said, he must go back and pacify his mother.

Otherwise, if his mother became angry and forced him to do the marriage interview, it would be very troublesome.

Admittedly, he did not need to care about these worldly matters with his current strength, but this familial affection of his was able to bind him.

In simpler terms, even if he was undefeatable under heaven, there was still someone that could control him.

That was his mother!

No matter how overbearing he was, he could not ignore his parents.

Just like that, Wei Xiao Bei needed to go even if he did not want to. If he wanted to have a peaceful and quiet return, he needed a shield.

“Xin Yi, come out for a bit.”

Wei Xiao Bei hesitated for a bit and called out Zhu Xin Yi in the end.

Zhu Xin Yi’s leg injury had already scabbed. Although she needed more time for a full recovery, walking was not a problem.

Huang Kun wanted to follow along, but he was glared at by Wei Xiao Bei. He stayed back in fright and muttered, “Talking behind others’ backs. If it’s not secrets then it’s adultery!”

Wei Xiao Bei’s sharp ears were able to hear this, but he could not scold Huang Kun at this moment.

Zhu Xin Yi was standing beside him.

No matter how much he hesitated, he still explained his matter.

Zhu Xin Yi originally thought that there was an important matter that Wei Xiao Bei wanted to explain. Who could have imagined that it was actually the situation with his parents.

She blushed and nodded her head, giving consent to this matter. In reality, she was a bit baffled. After all, she had already agreed to it before, but why did he ask again?

Naturally, Zhu Xin Yi found it embarrassing to ask again. Since Wei Xiao Bei asked again, then confirminging it again should be fine.

Zhu Xin Yi’s answer settled Wei Xiao Bei’s worries. He immediately prepared his luggage, inspected the minivan, and prepared to leave in the afternoon.

After finding out about this matter, Huang Kun kept pestering that he wanted to go, but he was mercilessly put down by Wei Xiao Bei. Wei Xiao Bei had hit Huang Kun’s head, sending him tearfully lying down.

It was impossible for Wei Xiao Bei to bring this brat with him.

His plan was flawless, but once Huang Kun went with them, then he might just provoke a bigger problem.

If his mother keeled over from anger, then Wei Xiao Bei’s offense would be so great that he would never be able to make up for it.

If Wei Xiao Bei did not consider Huang Kun’s injured arm, he would have directly sent him back.

Now, he could only leave Huang Kun with money and allow him to buy and eat whatever he wanted.

As for whether Huang Kun could take care of himself or not, Wei Xiao Bei did not worry about it.

Since Huang Kun dared to enter the Dust World, living in the dojo alone should not be a problem. In any case, he would not be able to take a bath or do many taxing things at the moment.

After setting things up for Huang Kun, Wei Xiao Bei sat in front of his computer to look for driving-related resources.

Driving a car home was Wei Xiao Bei’s initial dream when he first began working in Cui Hu City.

Wei Xiao Bei had never driven a car before, nor had he ever held onto a steering wheel or entered driving school.

It must be known that when Yao Wu was still there, he had treated the minivan as his treasure. If anyone else wanted to drive it, it would be more difficult than ascending heaven.

Thus, Wei XIao Bei never learned anything from him.

However, a skill like driving should not be a problem for Wei Xiao Bei.

He just needed to study driving from the internet, download a real driving simulation, train for two hours, then try to drive the minivan. Only then did the [Driving] skill appear.

Driving (Beginner)

Although the skill appeared, its color was very light, lighter than most skills that had just appeared.

This meant that similar beginner-rank skills could have different levels of mastery. This also meant that Wei Xiao Bei’s [Driving] skill was inferior to other beginner skills.

However, there was no urgency. With this [Driving] skill, Wei Xiao Bei researched for more internet materials. Afterwards, he carefully drove the minivan bringing along Zhu Xin Yi and a pile of luggage toward the outside of the city.

In reality, operating the car, stepping on the gas, moving the gear shift through the clutch, etc, was a very simple matter for Wei Xiao Bei with his current status.

However, the streets were filled with people and cars. Wei Xiao Bei was only a beginner, so slowing down was still a better choice.

Moreover, if he was caught driving without a license by the police, then he would not know how to confess to his third senior apprentice brother that the car had been impounded.

This was not a question about money.

However, driving slowly like this for an endless amount of time was a tedious task, but it also increased his driving skill by leaps and bounds.

By the time he made it to the border between the city and countryside, Wei Xiao Bei casually looked at his driving skill and saw that it had increased to intermediate rank.

This was one of the benefits of having a high status.

The stronger his agility, intelligence, and even awareness was, the more outstanding his [Driving] skill would become.

When he finally reached the expressway, he let out a sigh of relief and cheerfully drove the car forward.

Wei Xiao Bei was actually worried that the minivan would not be able to get onto the expressway.

Anyone who saw it would say that the minivan already belonged in the junkyard.

Naturally, driving a car was still a pleasant occasion for men, especially when one had just come out of driving school.

Zhu Xin Yi was quiet throughout the ride. She sat in the front passenger seat and played on her phone, looking at the materials about Bajiquan that Wei Xiao Bei had sent her.

Only when they reached the expressway, did Zhu Xin Yi blush, and she asked a few questions. The main questions were about Wei Xiao Bei, his family, and other similar matters.

To be a good temporary girlfriend, staying silent was not an option.

Wei Xiao Bei was also aware of this. Thus he explained a few matters while driving.

Driving while talking was as easy as walking while talking for Wei Xiao Bei. Even if a truck charged over, he would be able to easily dodge the danger.

Wei Xiao Bei’s hometown, Bai Ta County, was located in the Sichuan Province. It was around 300 km away from Cui Hu City. Driving a car would take around four hours to make it there.

Three hours on the highway and one hour on old roads would be sufficient.

However, from Wei Xiao Bei’s point of view, it would take at least five hours with the old minivan. When he made it there, it would probably be around 9 p.m..

No matter how far it was, he would make it there as long as he went forward.

He left the dojo around four in the afternoon. When he descended the expressway, it was already 7:30 p.m.

Bai Ta County’s economy was not developed. The fact that there was not direct path from the expressway to the county was enough evidence of this.

The old road to the county was a continuous hill path with two sides filled with lush trees. Entering at night made it appear as if demons and ghosts were hiding within the trees.

In truth, there were not many cars on these kinds of routes at night since a bit of bravery was needed to traverse them.

Perhaps because of impatience or happiness, Wei Xiao Bei joked with Zhu Xin Yi while driving, “Before the Communists won, this road did not exist and was originally a forest. There was only a small path to walk through. At that time, there were a lot of bandits waiting in ambush. If people passed through it, they would come out. If a girl like you were to pass by, you would have probably be the first to be kidnapped.”

“Master!”

Zhu Xin Yi did not dare stare at Wei Xiao Bei, but she unhappily shouted. She looked outside the window and stared at the path illuminated by the headlights.

“Master, there seems to be a car stopped in the middle of the road.”

Suddenly, Zhu Xin Yi hesitantly called out.

“Yeah.”

Wei Xiao Bei nodded. Compared to Zhu Xin Yi, Wei Xiao Bei’s vision was a lot better. It was especially prominent in dark places.

It was an old Jinbei van.

If it was around 7-8 years ago, the van could be considered a luxury van.

But now, the vans in major cities were true luxury vans. Worn-out old fashioned vans like this had flowed into counties like the Bai Ta County to serve as means of transportation.

Thus, it was not rare to see it in such counties and stops.

Could it be a vehicular malfunction?

Wei Xiao Bei shook his head. If there was really a malfunction, then the hazard lights should be on. Stopping in the middle of a dark road might create accidents.

Moreover, Wei Xiao Bei already saw that there were no human figures moving in the vicinity of the van.

Creak!

Wei Xiao Bei stopped the minivan on the side of the road and turned on the hazard light. Then he got out of the car.

Zhu Xin Yi went down to investigate earlier than Wei Xiao Bei. Her courage was not small. When Wei Xiao Bei opened the door, she had already circled the van once.

At this time, she returned with a pale face while trying to be calm, “Master, there is no one in the car.”

This matter was really frightening.

Under the dim night sky, there was a van stopped in the middle of the rarely used road. There was no one inside the car as if it was tossed aside, but there was proof that people had been in there from the luggage that could be seen from the window.
