I Am Shocked That You Call This Cultivation - Chapter 37

Chapter 37: Chen Pingan Has Been Targeted

“Ye Beixuan?!”

“You’re Ye Beixuan? The world champion?”

Dali was even more surprised than Chen Pingan. Although Ye Beixuan was nothing compared to the immortal, he had still broken the world record for a sprint. Ye Beixuan even appeared frequently in the news a while ago. Now that such a famous person had appeared in front of him so suddenly, it was no wonder Dali would be shocked.

Teacher Gu and the other two didn’t expect Dali to have such a big reaction. They were stunned for a second and couldn’t help but sigh. They simply thought that the senior in front of them had good acting skills.

Ye Beixuan beamed with joy. Although he knew that Dali’s reaction was fake, hearing his name coming out of Dali’s mouth still made him feel proud. He had a sudden impulse to tell the entire world that Senior Dali had remembered his name.

“Uncle Li, I was just lucky.”

Ye Beixuan looked extremely obedient.

“You’re too humble. That wasn’t luck, it was strength. You’re just strong!”

After Dali praised him, he turned his head and earnestly advised Chen Pingan. “Pingan, you are about the same age, so you will have to work hard to catch up. Look at him, he is already at the Golden Core stage.”

“But there’s also no need for you to feel too much pressure. Just work hard on your cultivation and continue to make progress.”

“Grandpa Dali, I know. Recently, I’ve been preparing to read the High Level Compulsory Cultivation Lesson Book. After reading the low and intermediate level lessons, I’ve gained a lot of insights and benefited a lot.”

Chen Pingan did not feel embarrassed to receive Dali’s advice. Instead, he was filled with gratitude.

A large part of the reason why he was able to improve so much today was due to the guidance of Dali and other old men. Otherwise, he wouldn’t have been able to comprehend so many new paths of cultivation.

Also, ever since he transmigrated, other than Brother Xiong who often helped him, Uncle Xun and Grandpa Dali had also given him a lot of help. They would often ask if he was doing well and even offered him guidance in cultivation.

Chen Pingan had remembered all of these favors and vowed to never forget them.

Grandpa Dali acted as if there was no one else around and continued to guide and console Chen Pingan. He told Chen Pingan to look for Chen Pingan if he encountered any problems.

Chen Pingan stood at the side and listened quietly, nodding from time to time. This scene was very heartwarming.

Teacher Gu and the other two looked at each other. They didn’t say anything to disturb the two of them. They just looked at Dali’s kind face and became interested in the young man in front of them.

They thought that someone who was so close to Dali would probably also be able to help them befriend Dali.

Dali, who was standing at the side, felt his mouth go dry after speaking for so long. When he saw the three people standing in front of him, he finally remembered that they were still here.

He smiled embarrassedly and explained, “I’m sorry, I was a bit engrossed since this young man is so worrisome. I spoke too much and forgot that you guys are still around.”

“It’s alright, it’s alright. Uncle Li, just pretend that we don’t exist. You don’t have to feel sorry. We also enjoyed listening to you speak. We’ve also benefited a lot.”

Li Hao did all that in front of Dali, who was still a stranger to him. His eyes were fixed on Dali and he was filled with admiration for this senior.

Actually, he was very envious of that young man called Chen Pingan. After all, Li Hao thought that receiving sincere advice from the old man was a great honor. If he had been the one who received the advice, he would feel so happy that he would even wake up laughing from his dreams.

“You guys are too kind. Old Gu, it’s not easy for you to raise a sprinter champion.”

Dali admired Teacher Gu from the bottom of his heart. Since they said that the three of them had moved into the neighborhood together, he naturally treated Teacher Gu as Ye Beixuan’s father.

“Heh, no, no. You’re too kind.”

Teacher Gu smiled hard.

Luckily, Dali saw that it was getting late and hurriedly said goodbye to the three of them before pulling Chen Pingan upstairs.

Before Chen Pingan went upstairs, he looked at the three people who were still standing at the same spot and felt a little puzzled.

Why did Ye Beixuan and the others suddenly move into Xin Guang Residence?

While he was still deep in thought, Da Huang behind him became restless and licked his ankle.

Chen Pingan’s body trembled as he looked at Da Huang in disdain. He wondered if the dog was really sick.

Da Huang wagged its tail even harder. Its eyes were sparkling with anticipation as it looked at the person in front of it with its big watery eyes.

“Da Huang, there’s something wrong with you. Stay away from me.”

Deng deng deng deng.

Chen Pingan hurriedly chased after Dali. He didn’t dare to be left alone with Da Huang anymore. Ever since that day, he had developed a trauma.

“Woof, woof, woof.”

Da Huang began to pursue him relentlessly.

…

There were three people squatting beside the neighborhood plaza. They were behaving suspiciously as if they were planning something.

They communicated telepathically to each other. They were using a sound transmission technique that Teacher Gu had accidentally obtained when he was exploring the cave for ancient artifacts. The technique was extremely mysterious as it had no requirement for one’s realm. Everyone in the True Cultivation Faction could use it without any difficulty.

“Senior Dali seems to think highly of Chen Pingan.”

Ye Beixuan raised an eyebrow. He could tell how much Dali loved that kid just from all the guidance Dali had just given him.

“Yes, I can see that too. That young man should have something extraordinary about him that made Senior think so highly of him.”

Li Hao nodded expressionlessly. He was very jealous of that kid.

“We’ll investigate that young man later and see if he has obtained some of Senior’s teachings and entered the Qi Refinement Stage like Da Huang. In fact, he might be fooling us by restraining his aura.”

Teacher Gu had to make ample preparations. He could not underestimate the people who were close to Dali since they could also be experts.

“If the young man is an ordinary person, he will be easier to deal with. We can pull him into the True Cultivation Faction. With his help, I believe that Senior will be less vigilant against us.”

Li Hao immediately sent a voice transmission. “This is a good idea. We can also use this opportunity to rope in senior. If even Senior joins our True Cultivation Faction, then…”

Even though Li Hao did not finish his sentence, the other two still naturally knew what he meant. Their eyes lit up and their hopes were reignited.

The first step for them now was to deal with the person beside Senior Dali, that young man.

The three of them squatted at a corner of the neighborhood plaza and started to plan. They only had one goal—to deal with Chen Pingan!

“Achoo.”

When Chen Pingan walked down from Dali’s house, he felt a chill on his back and sneezed twice.

He looked back suspiciously and immediately heaved a sigh of relief. Luckily, Da Huang didn’t chase after him.

“After Da Huang ate the pill, it seems that its brain has become abnormal.”

Chen Pingan recalled how Da Huang had been squatting by his feet at the dining table and licking his feet pitifully. It still acted the same way even after Chen Pingan gave it a bone.

If a dog was not interested in the bone, it meant that there was something wrong with the dog’s brain!

“Luckily, Grandpa Dali is unaware of what happened. Anyway, Da Huang is still alive and kicking. Other than its brain, there seems to be nothing wrong with it.”

Chen Pingan secretly rejoiced..
