Youth Song: Leijiabao Thunder Emperor

What's wrong? You're on edge.

How did he get through this journey?

When it comes to noodles, we only eat plain noodles; when it comes to alcohol, we only drink strong liquor; and when we hunt wild game, we first offer it to our senior brothers.

They enjoyed a few good days with Xiao Se, but then they encountered a group of bandits and that's how they survived the starvation.

Now you're asking me what's wrong.

Lei Wujie was so angry that he couldn't even speak after spending all of his savings of seventeen years.

"Hurry up and go. We need to find a place to stay for the night, and it'll be dark soon if we don't hurry."

Lei Dong waved his hand, signaling Lei Wujie to take action.

"Senior brother, you have so much money, but we still need to find a place to sleep in the wild. I want to stay at an inn. There's an inn right ahead. I want a good room."

Lei Wujie pointed to the inn in the distance and said loudly, "I won't be able to appease him today unless I give him a top-class room."

"I don't know how many people are watching Wuxin now. It would be a small matter if someone were to attack and damage his things, but it would be bad if innocent people were to be hurt."

"And didn't you want to help Wuxin? You've improved a lot lately, so tonight I'll teach you the Lightning Thunder Fist."

"real."

Lei Wujie, who was full of resentment, jumped three feet high when he heard Lei Dong's words. Seeing Lei Dong nod, he quickly went to prepare wine and meat.

The three of them couldn't help but laugh at their impatient manner.

"Since you have money, shouldn't you pay back the five hundred taels of silver you owe me?"

Xiao Se glanced at the silver notes in Lei's hand and said to him sideways.

"Wait, wait. When did I owe you money, five hundred taels? You can eat whatever you want, but you can't say whatever you want."

Upon hearing Xiao Se's words, Lei Dong immediately put away the silver notes and looked at Xiao Se warily.

His five hundred taels of silver were destined to be a pipe dream, and Lei Dong didn't want to be taken advantage of.

"Lei Wujie owes me money."

"Even close brothers should keep clear accounts. Our Lei Family Fort has always kept clear accounts and never mixed with personal feelings."

Lei Wujie must repay the money he owes himself; Lei Family Fort will absolutely not show favoritism.

"If I can't afford it, I'll make him work as a waiter at your Leaky Snow Manor. The Lei Family Manor won't utter a single word of refusal. If he dares not to go, I'll break his legs."

"I."

Xiao Se was rendered speechless by Lei Dong's shamelessness.

"Brother Lei is truly a remarkable person."

Looking at the righteous and awe-inspiring Lei Dong, Wu Xin couldn't help but sigh.

"You flatter me. To deal with extraordinary people, one must naturally take extraordinary measures."

"Was he insulting me? Was he insulting me?"

Upon hearing Lei Dong's words, Xiao Se looked at him for a long time, then flicked his sleeves and went directly to find Lei Wujie.

"It seems Boss Xiao is angry again."

"Haha, he's not that petty. He's probably thinking about how to get the factory back right now."

"Don't you get tired of maintaining a facade all day? Isn't it better to be free and do whatever you want within the bounds of principle?"

"Brother Lei is quite carefree; his status dictates that he cannot be like Brother Lei."

Wu Xin shook his head, somewhat moved, for he himself was no different.

That's because he himself doesn't know what he wants to do.

Aspiring to a life of freedom and adventure is natural. But if one desires to ascend to the highest position, one can also forge ahead with courage and determination.

He yearns for the martial world yet cannot let go of the imperial court. He desires revenge but dares not face it, hence his inner turmoil and self-pity.

It's not that he lacks connections or information. If it were me, even if I dared not return to Apocalypse City, I would do everything in my power to find a cure, instead of hiding in a small inn, licking my wounds alone.

"Brother Lei's resolute character is something I admire."

However, his injury is not easy to treat.

With his keen perception, Wu Xin naturally saw Lei Dong's genuine domineering confidence, rather than his empty boasting.

"Difficult to treat does not mean untreatable."

There are many ways to transform a person's internal energy in this world; as long as you can find a method that doesn't harm the root cause, that will suffice.

"If he loses his martial arts skills, he can just practice them again. With his talent, rebuilding his foundation in martial arts will be more stable, and he might even be able to advance further."

"The Rakshasa Hall does know a method to neutralize the internal energy of others. However, I don't know if one can rebuild their cultivation after their internal energy has been neutralized, and I also don't know if Boss Xiao would be willing to give it a try."

Upon hearing Lei Dong's words, Wu Xin's eyes flashed.

"Don't try it recklessly. I once tested the internal force in Xiao Se's hidden meridians. It was extremely unruly and was at least left by a master of the Free and Unfettered Realm. It's not something you, a mere Free and Unfettered Realm cultivator, can easily fool."

"It would be interesting if we ruined his cultivation and didn't resolve the issue of his hidden internal energy."

Seeing that Wuxin seemed to be about to give Xiao Se a thunderous plea for mercy, I was speechless.

I'm just bragging, don't take it seriously. It would be really funny if this messed up.

"Really? We'll only know if it works or not after we try. I just don't know if Boss Xiao would be willing to let me show off my skills."

"What kind of weird martial arts are you going to show off this time? Don't do anything reckless."

Xiao Se, who was carrying several oil paper packages, happened to hear Wu Xin's words and couldn't help but ask.

He didn't want to be a test subject. The Demon-Inducing Technique hadn't worked, but that didn't guarantee anything else. The Rakshasa Hall's secret techniques were all incredibly bizarre; one wrong move and he could make a fool of himself.

"I'll tell Brother Lei about your hidden meridian injury. Brother Lei has a method to treat it, but I don't know if Boss Xiao would be willing to let me try it."

"What did you say? He's telling the truth."

The previously somewhat lazy Xiao Se suddenly appeared before Wu Xin. He gritted his teeth and asked, then looked at Lei Dong.

"There is a method, but unintentional methods are unreliable, so don't listen to him. This matter needs to be handled slowly; we can't rush it."

"What method?"

Xiao Se stared at Lei Dong, his eyes bloodshot.

"It's very simple. We definitely can't neutralize the internal energy in your hidden meridians on our own. Since that won't work, let's find a way to neutralize your internal energy along with the internal energy in your hidden meridians."

With your talent, regaining your previous cultivation level shouldn't be difficult.

"You have a way."

Knowing that Lei Dong's method was feasible, Xiao Se looked at Wu Xin.

"I have a martial art that can neutralize other people's internal energy, but I've never used it. As for whether you can still cultivate Wuxin after neutralizing their internal energy, I don't know."

"Don't listen to his nonsense. The internal energy in your body is extremely strong, and it's definitely not something that someone like him, who is at the Free and Easy Realm, can neutralize."

Don't let them cripple you; if the internal energy in your hidden meridians isn't neutralized, things will get really messy.

Furthermore, forcibly converting someone's internal energy could potentially cause permanent damage to their foundation; this matter must be handled with extreme caution.

"The person who injured me is extremely strong. Even my master was no match for him and was injured by him. That person is at least at the Great Free and Unfettered Realm."

"Can you teach me the Wuxin (无心) technique?"

Hearing Lei Dong's words, Xiao Se calmed down.

However, now that he has seen a glimmer of hope, he will not give up easily.

"Of course, no problem. If you can master this martial art, it might be able to better heal your injuries."

Without a second thought, he walked straight out of the city.

"This technique uses one's own internal energy to neutralize the internal energy of others, and it is a martial art that results in mutual destruction."

If you can master this martial art, then taking the initiative to attack will naturally not damage your foundation.

"Now, whenever I use my internal energy, it clashes with the internal energy in my hidden meridians. I can't even gather my qi. How can I cultivate martial arts?"

Upon hearing Wuxin's words, Xiao Se revealed a bitter smile.

"Problems can be solved one by one. Having a solution is always better than having no solution at all."
