Chen Niu's mind was a mess. He looked at Wu Tian with fear, then suddenly seemed to recall something.
He said tremblingly, "Could it be... could it be that you are a Lingxiuzhe?"
"Lingxiuzhe?" Hearing the term, Wu Tian's brow furrowed slightly. "What does that mean?"
Chen Niu shouted, "Don't pretend! You're definitely a Lingxiuzhe!"
"You must have spiritual energy on you, right? Otherwise, an ordinary person absolutely wouldn't have abilities like yours!"
Wu Tian felt surprised. He looked at Chen Niu with suspicion and asked, "How do you know about spiritual energy? Who told you?"
Hearing this, Chen Niu became even more convinced of his idea.
He trembled, "I never expected to encounter a Lingxiuzhe... No wonder you're so powerful..."
"Don't you Lingxiuzhe have whatever you want? What are you doing at my treasure gambling den? Isn't this bullying?"
Wu Tian's composure was broken.
He had never imagined that a thug leader like Chen Niu would know about spiritual energy.
And judging by Chen Niu's words, were people who cultivated spiritual energy called Lingxiuzhe?
If so, was Su Qiannai from that family also a Lingxiuzhe?
Wrapped in a haze of confusion, Wu Tian couldn't help but press further, "Answer my question! How do you know about spiritual energy?"
"If you don't tell me today, you know the consequences!"
Since Chen Niu already knew Wu Tian's identity, he naturally understood what kind of beings those with spiritual energy were.
As long as Wu Tian wished, he could die right here!
But strangely, although Chen Niu was afraid, he did not yield.
He gritted his teeth and said, "Don't think you can deal with me just because you've cultivated spiritual energy."
"In this world, you're not the only one with spiritual energy!"
"Just you wait. I'll call Old Zhang over right now!"
"I refuse to believe that I can't deal with you, but Old Zhang, also a Lingxiuzhe, won't be able to handle you!"
Wu Tian was surprised again. Old Zhang, also a Lingxiuzhe?
Did Chen Niu also have a Lingxiuzhe on his side?
Before he could speak, Chen Niu picked up his phone and made another call.
Wu Tian didn't stop him. He was curious to see who this so-called Old Zhang was.
After the call was connected, Chen Niu heard an displeased voice from the other end: "Chen Niu, why are you calling me so late? Don't you know I need to sleep?"
As soon as Chen Niu heard Old Zhang's voice, he hurriedly said, "Old Zhang! Something terrible has happened! Someone is wrecking my place! Please come and help me quickly!"
Old Zhang said, "Are you out of your mind?"
"You have so many people under you, who would dare to wreck your place? Are all those people you hired useless?"
"Although I take your money, I also said that unless it's a particularly serious matter, I won't help you. Have you forgotten?"
Chen Niu's eyes were red with urgency.
He shouted, "Old Zhang! This is a particularly serious matter for me!"
"That guy... that guy is also a Lingxiuzhe! No matter how many people I have, how can they fight a Lingxiuzhe!"
"What did you say?" Hearing this, Old Zhang's tone on the phone suddenly became astonished.
"Say that again? Lingxiuzhe?" Old Zhang shouted.
It was clear that Chen Niu's news had greatly shocked him.
Chen Niu trembled, "That's right, a Lingxiuzhe. So please come quickly, Old Zhang, or I won't be able to hold on!"
Old Zhang said, "Are you sure? Is the other party really a Lingxiuzhe? Are you mistaken?"
Chen Niu glanced at Wu Tian fearfully, then said, "Old Zhang, at this point, stop asking questions!"
"All my men have been beaten down by him. If that's not a Lingxiuzhe, then what is it!"
Old Zhang's voice turned serious. He said, "I understand. Wait for me, I'll be right there!"
After speaking, Old Zhang hung up the phone, presumably rushing over.
Since Old Zhang was coming, Chen Niu felt more confident.
He said to Wu Tian, "Just you wait. When Old Zhang arrives, you're finished!"
Wu Tian ignored him and quietly waited for Old Zhang's arrival.
If that Old Zhang was indeed a Lingxiuzhe, then things would become a bit tricky.
But more than that, Wu Tian wanted to know what these so-called Lingxiuzhe actually were.
And perhaps he could get the answer from Old Zhang.
A moment later, an old man hurried over.
Upon seeing him, Chen Niu immediately shouted, "Old Zhang! Come here quickly, Old Zhang!"
Wu Tian looked at the old man. He was a man in his sixties, with a stern face, wearing a black Tang suit.
From him, Wu Tian felt a familiar aura, the scent of spiritual energy.
This Old Zhang was indeed a Lingxiuzhe!
"Where is he? Who is it?" Old Zhang called out as he approached.
Chen Niu pointed at Wu Tian and said, "Old Zhang, it's him!"
Old Zhang looked at Wu Tian, and when he saw how young Wu Tian was, he couldn't help but be surprised.
He scrutinized Wu Tian for a few moments, then straightened his expression and said sternly, "Kid, who are you, and why are you causing trouble here?"
Wu Tian said, "Chen Niu is the one causing trouble. He brought this upon himself. Why are you questioning me?"
Old Zhang did not expect Wu Tian to be so impolite, and he immediately felt displeased. He said, "Kid, you'd better watch what you say."
"I know you're a Lingxiuzhe, but so what?"
"You can be arrogant in front of ordinary people, but in front of me, do you think you can still be arrogant?"
Wu Tian said coldly, "Arrogant? Am I arrogant for saying a few words? When Chen Niu was acting recklessly, why didn't you say Chen Niu was also arrogant?"
"A dignified Lingxiuzhe actually acting as a bodyguard for a gang leader, don't you find it shameful?"
Old Zhang rebuked, "Kid! I warn you not to speak nonsense! I am merely supported by him, not his bodyguard!"
Wu Tian sneered, "You took his money, and now you're protecting him, so aren't you his bodyguard?"
"What, do you think changing the wording will change the essence of the matter?"
Old Zhang's body trembled with anger.
He had always been high and mighty in front of Chen Niu, and Chen Niu dared not offend him. He was usually treated to good food and drink, and even sent his wife to his bed.
But today, Wu Tian called him Chen Niu's bodyguard, a description he absolutely could not accept.
He had initially considered mediating, not wanting to have too much conflict with Wu Tian, given that Wu Tian was also a Lingxiuzhe.
But Wu Tian's words at this moment had completely angered him, making him start to consider taking action against Wu Tian.
