700: Chapter 123: The Youth Are Bound to Be Reckless 700: Chapter 123: The Youth Are Bound to Be Reckless Yang Tianyu was very angry, both frustrated at his own incompetence and weakness, and furious at Wang Yunxiao’s indifference.
But he couldn’t voice these thoughts.
The person was under his care, and if an accident happened, causing injury or death, it was naturally his own problem.
It had nothing to do with Wang Yunxiao.
But aren’t you the self-proclaimed big brother of the school?
Shouldn’t you stand up for me at a time like this?
Of course, that was just a thought; maintaining his dignity, he could not utter such shameless words.
“You could also go to the principal.”
Wang Yunxiao kindly suggested: “The school explicitly prohibits students from leaving without permission, and yet you were let out, leading to such a serious incident, the school will certainly take responsibility.
I estimate the school will cover part of the compensation costs.”
Is it about money!
Do I lack that bit of money!
Yang Tianyu was so angry that his face turned red: “Aren’t you also taking people out every day!”
“My brothers haven’t had an accident.”
Actually, Wang Yunxiao’s words weren’t said with much confidence, including himself, his brothers had been in the hospital more than once or twice.
Wormwood, who had the worst injury, lay in the hospital for almost a month, and Dumpling, the weakest in will, simply dropped out.
But indeed no one had died.
Firstly, because we cultivate the Garrison Soldiers Dharma Gate, forming an array afterwards can save our lives.
Secondly, when we are in the hospital, public funds reimburse the medical expenses.
What do you have?
You have nothing, just recklessly taking a few buddies out for a good time.
If you don’t die, who will?
Actually, Yang Tianyu’s situation precisely matched Teacher Liu’s judgment about letting middle schoolers embark on Dharma Gate cultivation.
It would lead to death.
This isn’t a light novel from a secondary dimension, do you really expect a teenage boy who fancies himself a hero to save Earth without getting hurt?
It was just that Wang Yunxiao’s past achievements had led Principal Zhou to misjudge the actual abilities of young students.
Seeing the angry expression on Yang Tianyu’s face, Wang Yunxiao felt like he was looking at himself when he had just crossed over.
Knowing nothing, facing Teacher Liu’s indifferent attitude and equivocal answers, the only thing left was impotent rage.
But actually, Teacher Liu had said everything.
“What exactly did you encounter?”
This foolish kid wouldn’t ask himself, so Wang Yunxiao had to spoon-feed the information, coaxing him to eat.
“Monster, a half-human, half-beast monster.”
Yang Tianyu forced himself to calm down and began to recount the story from yesterday.
The story itself wasn’t particularly original: a group of hot-blooded youths, relying on their little abilities, went to investigate some clues and ended up plunging headfirst into a trap designed for them.
If it weren’t for Yang Dahe desperately holding back that monster, they might not have survived at all.
After listening to his description, Wang Yunxiao quickly sketched out a portrait on paper.
“Did it look like this?”
“Uh…
roughly.”
Yang Tianyu nodded, then suddenly realized something: “I didn’t describe what it looked like, how did you know?”
“This isn’t a monster, but a werewolf, have you heard of it?”
“…”
Forget it, seeing his clueless expression, Wang Yunxiao knew he had no knowledge in this area at all.
Which was normal, after all, young people of this era don’t have the convenient and fast information exchange channels of the future eras.
Even if they had the channels, they might not have the capacity to receive information.
People who grew up playing with cellphones don’t even know how to download from the Steam Workshop, and there are plenty who spend money to be conned.
“This matter has exceeded your capacity to handle, better report it to the police.
Otherwise…”
Wang Yunxiao paused here, looking up at Yang Tianyu, “Can you try to make use of your family’s connections?”
“What connections does my family have?”
Yang Tianyu was clueless.
“Aren’t you from the Yang Family?”
“Yes, I am!”
“You…”
Wang Yunxiao frowned: “Do you understand what I am saying?”
Yang Tianyu baffled, “I am surnamed Yang, but all my family does is business.
What kind of connections could solve this kind of problem?”
“What kind of business does your family do?”
“Cultural relics, calligraphy and paintings, gold and jade articles, those sorts of things.”
“Extensive Knowledge Society?”
“Yes, that’s the association.
Have you heard of it?”
Seeing the subtle expression on Wang Yunxiao’s face, Yang Tianyu suddenly felt uneasy: “Is there a problem?”
Big problem.
Wang Yunxiao pondered a bit but didn’t continue on this topic.
He said to Yang Tianyu, “If you want to find out information about werewolves, I suggest you go to the Tang siblings; they should be very interested.”
Yang Tianyu nodded, “I will look for Tang Ping’an, and I still want the gun.
Name your price.”
“Nope.”
Wang Yunxiao stubbornly refused.
Kidding me, even my own brother doesn’t have enough to use, how could I sell it to you?
If you go out and kill someone, would I not be responsible?!
And what’s the use of a gun for you without Demon-Breaking Bullets?
You’d better be off clubbing werewolves with the butt of the rifle.
“How about just calling the police?”
Wang Yunxiao was just short of overtly telling him to go to the police station, ask for Director Qin mentioning his name, and they might get dragged to the Special Service Section as forced labor, where guns and equipment would be provided.
Am I your real dad?
“No reporting!”
Yang Tianyu, also concerned about losing face, was utterly unwilling to call the police.
Yang Dahe was still lying in the hospital.
If he sought external help at this point, wouldn’t he become a lifelong joke for his half-blood bastard brother?
“It’s just a werewolf, I can handle it myself!
If you won’t give me a gun, I can still get one!”
Having said that, he left without looking back.
Youtiao leaned in and whispered, “This kid is rather stubborn, huh?
With his temperament…
he doesn’t seem like someone from the Yang Family as you mentioned?”
“Hard to say.”
Wang Yunxiao also felt a bit perplexed.
When he went to deal with the Wei Family business back then, Cheng Xuefei had traded some information with him.
It was about these Yang brothers.
They are indeed scions of that “Yang Family.”
The two were half-brothers from the same father but different mothers; one legitimate, the other illegitimate.
Their father, Yang Chongshan, is the honorary chairman of the Tianmen City Society for Traditional Cultural Arts, with several shops under his command dealing in antique playthings and auction pawnshops—a business where one doesn’t open for half a year, but upon opening, thrives for the next half.
The “Extensive Knowledge Society,” once on the police’s priority watchlist, was backed by this Yang Family.
Of course, it was not only their father’s branch but also several other branches of the Yang clan.
To put it bluntly, they were all closely knitted by blood.
They run a legitimate business, superficially unrelated to any unsavory affairs.
However, behind a series of incidents Wang Yunxiao encountered after his transmigration, he could always see their covert shadows.
Yet today, Yang Tianyu’s attitude was strange.
As the legitimate son, he seemed completely unaware of his family’s true background, as if he genuinely believed in his innocent origins.
Was he a master actor, or was there another reason?
