Invincible Urban Evil Doctor

Chapter 1044: Chapter 1051: The Bad-Tempered Old Man (Part 1)

It looked like he was beaten badly, but it was actually just some superficial injuries, not affecting the foundation.

Although Xiong Haitao was a good-for-nothing without cultivation talent, Xiong Tu could still see his good temperament and effort.

Thus, he always liked this great-grandson who was obedient and sensible.

Because of this, he was very, very angry. If it weren’t for the wrong place, he would have beaten this brat so hard he’d be bedridden for days.

As for Lin Xi, Peng Bo, and Cui Hua, he didn’t make a move or say anything.

After all, the three had done great favors for the Xiong family, and besides, they were guests.

He believed the reason the four of them came up here must be because of his great-grandson.

"Grandfather, why did you hit me?" Xiong Haitao didn’t complain; he wasn’t concerned about his injuries, just confused.

Lin Xi and the other two immediately understood why Elder Xiong was so furious.

Except Haitao was confused as he was caught in the situation.

Besides, he wasn’t accustomed to using his brain; he was a very straightforward person.

When Xiong Tu heard his question, he got angry again, "I see you little brat just didn’t reflect at all. It seems I haven’t taught you enough!"

Then, he gave Xiong Haitao another round of beating.

Though Xiong Haitao wasn’t afraid of being beaten, it hurt when hit, so he got smart and stopped asking why, constantly begging for mercy and admitting he was wrong!

Lin Xi wore a smile on his face, indicating it was quite good; sometimes beating made one better.

Peng Bo and Cui Hua were a bit anxious, afraid that Elder Xiong might turn on them next.

Considering how fiercely he was hitting, without holding back at all.

They thought if they didn’t know their relations, they might believe they were enemies!

So the two unconsciously stepped back, wanting to retreat behind Lin Xi, but one look from Lin Xi made them stop immediately.

After a while, Xiong Tu seemed tired of hitting and stopped.

By now, Xiong Haitao had learned his lesson, keeping silent with a swollen face.

"I’ll escort you down the mountain!" Xiong Tu glanced at the four, saying, "Those people on the mountain haven’t been found yet!"

"But one thing is certain, they haven’t left, and are definitely still on the mountain!"

"So if you encounter them on the mountain, they absolutely won’t spare you."

Saying this, he glared at Xiong Haitao again, "If you usually came here with me, I wouldn’t drive you away!"

"But now, staying on the mountain is just holding me back!"

"If it were just me, you wouldn’t have to worry. Even if they had two Innates, they wouldn’t hope to stop me!"

However, while saying this, he noticed the other three, aside from Lin Xi, had strange expressions.

He almost couldn’t hold back his anger, wanting to beat these three lads too, but it wasn’t time to waste on this; while walking, he further reprimanded, "What’s with your expressions? Learn from your leader!"

"You’re all grown up; can’t you understand what I’m saying?"

With a cold snort, he continued, "I think Haitao must be the mastermind behind coming up here, you two must be involved, forcing Lin Xi to join you!"

Lin Xi: "...."

He really wanted to explain, about to open his mouth.

But before he could speak, Xiong Tu waved his hand, interrupting him, "You’re the most sensible, no need to defend them!"

Lin Xi could only gesture helplessly to Peng Bo and the other two, indicating he tried.

"Grandpa, actually..." Xiong Haitao was about to explain, Peng Bo and Cui Hua shared the intent, but seeing Haitao open his mouth, they closed theirs.

However, Xiong Tu suddenly glared, "Actually what?"

"No need to actually, shut your mouth, itching for a beating again?"

The three instantly abandoned explaining, evidently realizing Elder wouldn’t give them a chance.

Judging by this look, should they explain further, he not only wouldn’t believe, but would probably start beating them again.

Especially after Peng Bo and Cui Hua saw the wounds on Xiong Haitao’s face, the notion to explain was entirely dismissed.

Seeing their demeanor, Xiong Tu felt somewhat satisfied; yet he noticed Lin Xi remaining calm, attentively listening as if paying heed seriously, causing uncontrollable bloodlust to surge.

This violent air aimed at Xiong Haitao, Peng Bo, and Cui Hua.

The trio shivered involuntarily, pondering silently what might’ve angered Elder Xiong again?

At the same time, they unconsciously leaned towards their leader.

Seeing the trio’s embarrassing state, Xiong Tu let out another snort, "After descending, go back immediately, tell Ba’Er what happened here."

"If I find out you dare come up again, I’ll break your legs!"

"Don’t think I’m joking!"

Peng Bo, Xiong Haitao, and Cui Hua showed bitterness on their faces; Elder Xiong seriously wasn’t joking, they could feel it.

Yet, they genuinely didn’t propose coming up; they had no choice!

But how to explain this?

Not only is Elder not giving them a chance to explain, even if they did, Elder probably wouldn’t believe them.

Forget it, why court trouble!

Of course, they didn’t dare resent Lin Xi; they knew they needed his favor, and besides he nearly attempted to explain, but...

At this moment, the trio exchanged glances, seeing helplessness, yet their expressions revealed subtle excitement looking ahead.

For it was the direction they came from.

Meaning, the slain ones by Lin Xi lay just in front.

Initially intending to mention this, witnessing Elder Xiong’s refusal to explain their ascent reason, let alone mentioning those slain people were already dead!

Moreover, it was Lin Xi who killed them!

Voicing this, Elder Xiong would surely thrash them again, undoubtedly.

Thus, surprise Elder Xiong well!

"Humph!"

"Prepare for astonishment!"

Sooner than expected, Elder Xiong’s keen eyesight noticed irregularities.

Despite remaining fifty meters ahead, visible unusual footprints appeared.

No doubt, these were traces left by Lin Xi while chasing those fleeing people.

"Be careful!" Elder Xiong’s face turned serious, softly warning the four.

His irritation rose seeing them carefree, except Lin Xi, the other three displayed weird expressions, appearing ready for spectacle?

Inducing his anger, were these three fools?

Suppressing fury, he cautiously proceeded.

Moments later, nearing the destination, he witnessed four lying bodies, his face instantly changed, turning to the four, urging, "We’ll immediately maneuver around!"
