Starting to Gain Experience from Push-Ups-Chapter 347 - 233_2

Just now, when he was captured by that move, he not only felt Fang Cheng’s strength was unimaginably strong, but he also noticed that the other party seemed to have held back, not using full force to take their lives.

The lama who attempted to attack again heard this, and his aura involuntarily deflated, causing his actions to halt.

The illusory image of the deity behind him also dissipated instantly, as if it had never appeared.

At this moment, the room was in a mess.

The two lamas looked at each other, full of hesitation, unsure whether to regroup or give up altogether.

Fang Cheng still maintained a calm expression, his whole body tensed, exuding an invisible aura of power, like a beast ready to hunt at any moment.

Xu Sanduo was huddled in the corner, gasping heavily for breath.

He watched everything before him in shock, his gratitude and admiration for Fang Cheng increasing even further.

"Sir."

After a moment of standoff, the lama who almost had his wrist broken spoke up:

"We have been rude today, acting on orders, driven by the pursuit of the Golden Benba Bottle, against our will. Considering your leniency, we are willing to let this go and stop further entanglement."

Upon saying this, the other lama showed a reluctant expression and muttered a few words to him.

That lama then gritted his teeth and continued:

"However, that treasure is the holy object of our sect. If we return empty-handed, we can’t account for it. I hope you can show some leniency and at least give us a clue."

After speaking, he furtively glanced at Fang Cheng’s face and was relieved to see that Fang Cheng did not immediately react.

Meanwhile, the lama guarding the door tightly gripped the Demon-Subduing Pestle, staring at Fang Cheng with vigilance.

The atmosphere suddenly became inexplicably tense again.

"Boss Xu."

Fang Cheng was silent for a moment, then cast his gaze towards the chubby man in the corner and slowly spoke:

"Since our two guests wish to know the whereabouts of that item, you shouldn’t hide it any longer. Just be honest."

Xu Sanduo’s heart skipped a beat upon hearing this.

He knew very well that this seemingly powerful young man in front of him was not related to him and couldn’t be his protector forever.

Once Fang Cheng leaves this place, these two lamas will not easily let him go, and their revenge might be severe.

Moreover, even if he avoids this situation, there will likely be no shortage of other enemies coveting the treasure later.

Thinking of this, Xu Sanduo’s forehead was covered in sweat, rolling down his cheeks continuously.

He raised his trembling hand slightly and wiped away the sweat.

After hesitating repeatedly, he sighed softly and gritting his teeth, said:

"The thing is really not with me; it was bought by the Lu Family a long time ago."

"The Lu Family?"

The two lamas exchanged a glance, with surprise and doubt flashing in their eyes.

"Yes!"

Given the situation, Xu Sanduo decided to come clean:

"That day, I had just received the Golden Benba Bottle, hadn’t even warmed it up yet. The next day, the Lu Family somehow got the news and immediately came looking." ƒreewebɳovel.com

"You know what the Lu Family is like; how could I dare to neglect them? I could only sell the item to them. The Lu Family has immense wealth and power in the East Capital. I’m just a small antique dealer; I can’t afford to offend them!"

Saying so, Xu Sanduo showed a helpless and wronged expression.

"Dear lamas, I’ve told you the truth, and I only hope you won’t spread that the news leaked from me."

"The Lu Family has many ears and eyes. If they find out I leaked the news, my small business would be finished, and my whole family would have nothing to live on."

"I’m just a small antique dealer trying to survive in a tight spot and can’t afford to provoke such big figures. I hope you understand!"

Seeing Xu Sanduo pleading pitifully, the two lamas looked slightly weird.

They exchanged a glance, as if assessing the credibility of his words.

Finally, the lama who could speak fluent Mandarin sighed slightly and said:

"Given that, we won’t trouble you further, but if we find out you’re lying, you know the consequences!"

After issuing a threat, they put away the magic artifacts in their hands and turned to walk towards the door.

When they reached the doorway, one of the lamas seemed to remember something and turned back, looking at Fang Cheng.

He quickly clasped his hands together and raised them to his brow, then bowed and respectfully nodded:

"We are deeply grateful for your leniency today, sir. We hope for another opportunity to personally thank you in the future, and wish you success in all things."

Saying this, the two lamas quickly left, their figures soon disappearing outside the door.

Seeing that the two troublesome debt collectors had finally left, Xu Sanduo’s tense body finally relaxed completely like a deflated balloon, collapsing to the ground.

He raised his head, looking at Fang Cheng with gratitude:

"Hero, I’m so grateful to you today. Without you, I might have lost my life; your great kindness and virtue will never be forgotten by Xu Sanduo."

"In the future, if you ever have any commands, I would not hesitate to put my life on the line! I’ve been scraping by in the East Capital all these years; though I haven’t made a big name, I know some connections and paths. If you need help, just come to me."

"Even if you need me to go through fire and water, as long as it’s your command, Hero, I won’t hesitate!"

Xu Sanduo pledged sincerely, using both hands and feet to get over to him.

His eyes were watery and bright, and his face of distress turned into a simple and honest smile.

His flattering look was just short of hugging Fang Cheng’s thigh and calling him boss.
