At the door were two servants dressed like manservants. They were around twenty years old and one of them had a face full of pockmarks while the other had an ugly crooked nose. Both of their eyes were always darting around, making them look like thieves and disgusting.
One of them was called Ma Zi and the other was called Dog Nose. They were the two dogs by Ling Rui's side, dogs that would bite.
The one who had just spoken was Ma Zi. He was holding a small pouch in his hand and was constantly spinning it. He looked at the mother and son pair with disdain.
The Ling family's finances were managed by the fifth elder. As a direct descendant of the Ling family, Ling Zhan's family should have been sent by the housekeeper. But now, it was the dogs of the fifth elder's grandson. It was clear that Ling Zhan's family was not well received by the Ling family.
"I'll come and get it now." Meng Xiyun quickly walked over to the two of them.
Before Meng Xiyun could even get close, Ma Zi casually threw the pouch over.
This Ma Zi wanted to make Meng Xiyun look bad. Because he didn't throw the pouch with enough force, he only threw it a meter in front of Meng Xiyun and it was about to land on the ground.
Meng Xiyun's face flashed with an unexpected unhappiness and her footsteps quickened. She was actually able to barely catch the pouch.
Ma Zi and Dog Nose were a bit startled. They didn't expect this woman to be able to catch the pouch.
Meng Xiyun smiled and said, "Thank you for coming." She then weighed the pouch in her hand and quickly opened it. She then said to the two of them, "Isn't our family's monthly stipend thirty gold coins?
Why is there only ten gold coins? "
"Madam, could it be that you think we're greedy for your gold coins?
This was personally given by the finance manager. Why don't you go and ask him yourself? "Dog Nose raised his head and spoke in a strange tone.
His attitude was not like that of a servant, but more like that of a superior.
The finance manager that Dog Nose mentioned was the fifth elder's son, Ling Jian's father, Ling Chong.
Everyone in the Ling family knew that Ling Chong and Ling Zhan had been enemies since they were young. Dog Nose telling Meng Xiyun to find Ling Chong was obviously using Ling Chong to pressure Meng Xiyun.
"You! Forget it, you guys can leave!" Meng Xiyun angrily said.
Holding the ten gold coins in her hand, she felt extremely upset in her heart. She was still thinking of buying some tonics for her son's body this month, but now that she had lost twenty gold coins, her days were not going to be good. She still had to leave some for her husband to buy wine.
Ma Zi and Dog Nose were slightly pleased with themselves. They were about to turn around and leave.
"Wait!" shouted Ling Xiao as he walked over.
"What instructions do you have?" Ma Zi turned around and looked at Ling Xiao contemptuously.
He actually did not address Ling Xiao as Young Master, but instead addressed him as' you '. From this, it could be seen that these servants were just like their masters, wanting to ridicule Ling Zhan's family.
"Hand over 20 gold coins, or else don't even think of leaving this place," Ling Xiao coldly said.
Damn it, I'm a dignified young master, yet I have to give in to two slaves. It seems that in this continent, those who don't have great strength are even more lowly than lowly slaves.
"Didn't Dog Nose just say it?
If you want those 20 gold coins, then go ask the finance deacon, or … Young Master Rui is also fine. I just don't know if you dare to ask for it, "Ma Zi said with a playful expression.
A few days ago, Ling Xiao had been beaten half to death because Ling Rui had insulted his parents. That was why he had fought Ling Rui with his life. At that time, Ma Zi and Dog Nose were in the audience. The two of them relied on their status as Ling Rui's slaves to be extremely rampant. They were even more disdainful of Ling Xiao.
"It seems that you two dog slaves won't shed a tear until you see the coffin." Ling Xiao's face was gloomy.
Ma Zi and Dog Nose were not afraid. Although they were servants, they were still fourth rank Martial Disciples. Facing a cripple like Ling Xiao, they could be considered experts. How could they be afraid of Ling Xiao?
"Forget it, Xiao 'er, let them go." Meng Xiyun pulled on Ling Xiao's hand.
She was afraid of her son's impulsiveness. If he got hurt again, she didn't want to see that happen.
"Mother, don't worry. Watch Xiao 'er teach these two slaves a lesson to vent your anger." Ling Xiao broke free from Meng Xiyun's hand and slowly walked towards Ma Zi and Dog Nose.
"What do you want?" Ma Zi took a step back.
Although they could look down on Ling Zhan's family, they didn't have the qualifications to offend their superiors and disrespect Ling Xiao.
The Ling family's rules were very strict. If a servant was found to be disrespectful to a member of the Ling family, they would either be kicked out of the house or killed on the spot.
"On the count of three, hand over 20 gold coins and scram!" Ling Xiao shouted.
"I already said the gold coins aren't with us. If you have the ability, go get it from the general manager." Dog Nose interrupted.
"Three."
"Let's go. Ignore him." Ma Zi pulled at Dog Nose.
"Two."
The two of them ignored Ling Xiao and turned to leave.
Although they didn't dare offend their superiors, with their skills, Ling Xiao couldn't do anything to them.
"Forget it, Xiao 'er, let's go back." Meng Xiyun called from behind.
"One, three is over. You're courting death!" Ling Xiao shouted and suddenly took a step forward. In an instant, he caught up to Ma Zi and Dog Nose.
The two of them were fourth rank Martial Disciples. When Ling Xiao attacked from behind, they immediately sensed it and separated.
"Flowing Water and Cloud" Ling Xiao used the first form of the Cloud Expelling Palm and slapped towards Ma Zi.
Ma Zi was shocked. He didn't think that Ling Xiao would attack so quickly. He quickly tried to dodge.
Unfortunately, Ling Xiao's Cloud Trail Phantom was extremely fast, and it wasn't something that Ma Zi could easily dodge.
Ling Xiao slapped the bridge of Pockmark's nose heavily.
"Crack."
"Ah!" Ma Zi's nose was crushed by Ling Xiao's palm. He screamed in pain and blood sprayed out of his nostrils.
Seeing Ma Zi squatting down, Ling Xiao kicked the bridge of his nose that he was covering with his hands. Ma Zi screamed again and fell to the ground.
"You … you actually dare to hit people. Are you not afraid of Young Master Rui?"
Dog Nose didn't expect Ma Zi to be beaten by the so-called Meteorite City's number one trash. Moreover, he was beaten in two moves. He quickly used his master's name to try to threaten Ling Xiao.
"Hmph, sooner or later I'll find Ling Rui to settle the score. Now I'll teach you two blind slaves a lesson." Ling Xiao coldly snorted. He moved in front of Dog Nose, who was still in a daze. He lifted his foot and directly kicked Dog Nose's pants.
"Ow!" Dog Nose let out a blood-curdling screech and jumped on the spot while holding his penis.
This guy actually played dirty!
Ling Xiao made the two lose their fighting power and began to punish them.
"Cheap slave, spit out the gold coins." Ling Xiao grabbed Dog Nose's collar and punched Dog Nose's eyes twice in a row.
Suddenly, Dog Nose became a panda.
"I, I …" Dog Nose was just about to speak.
Ling Xiao grabbed his shoulders with both hands and at the same time, he kicked his knee up heavily on Dog Nose's injured pants.
Dog Nose didn't say anything. He fainted from the pain. It was estimated that his eggs were broken.
Ling Xiao turned and glared at Ma Zi.
Ma Zi was frightened and immediately said: "Young Master Xiao, no, don't hit me anymore. I'll give you 20 gold coins."
"F * ck your mother!" Ling Xiao cursed and stepped on Pockmark's face.
Ma Zi's pitiful nose was injured again and again. It really couldn't be broken anymore. His face was covered in blood and he was in a sorry state. He didn't look as arrogant as before.
Ma Zi and Dog Nose both fainted. Ling Xiao leaned down and searched their bodies for a while. He took out two money bags from each of them. He didn't look carefully at how many gold coins were inside and directly walked back to the door.
At the door, Meng Xiyun looked at her son with a dumbfounded expression.
She really couldn't believe that her son could actually knock out two Rank Four Martial Disciples in a few moves.
"Mother, go back. Don't let the appearance of these two dog slaves dirty your eyes." Ling Xiao pulled Meng Xiyun back to the door and then turned around to lock it.
Ling Xiao stuffed one of the money bags into Meng Xiyun's hands, then took the other one and went straight back to his room.
Meng Xiyun grabbed the money bags with both hands and still stared blankly at her son's weak figure disappearing in front of the house.
Ling Xiao returned to the house and casually threw the money bags to the side. He waved his hands and said: "Damn, it's only been two punches and it's already painful. This body is really weak. Fortunately, I attacked first. Otherwise, I might not have been able to cripple those two dog slaves."
Just now, Ling Xiao had chosen to attack with a purpose.
Right now, he had only opened one meridian and had only recovered a trace of an ordinary person's strength. Thus, he very rationally chose to attack first and specifically attack the opponent's weakest point.
No matter who it was, the nose was always the easiest place to be injured. As long as it was a light punch, even a martial artist would find it unbearable. Thus, under Ling Xiao's two attacks, Ma Zi was in so much pain that he couldn't retaliate. That dog's nose was even more miserable. The "little chicken" was the most important place for all men. Ling Xiao ruthlessly crippled his "little chicken" in order to intimidate Ma Zi.
Although Ma Zi's nose was injured, if he dared to fight back, Ling Xiao might not be his opponent. Fortunately, Ma Zi didn't dare to offend his superiors and was even more frightened by Ling Xiao's methods. This allowed Ling Xiao to take down the two of them in one fell swoop.
After morning exercise and taking care of the two slaves, Ling Xiao was covered in sweat. He hurriedly fetched a bucket of water to take a bath.
After taking a bath, Ling Xiao once again began to meditate in his room, striving to open the second meridian as soon as possible.
He knew that he had taught the two dog slaves a lesson today, so the slave's master definitely wouldn't let this matter go. Thus, he had to seize every second. As long as he could open all twelve meridians and condense his internal energy, he wouldn't be afraid of the other party finding trouble with him.
Becoming stronger was his top priority now!
