The Rebellious Son Becomes a God

"Shut up!!"

Jiang Cheng's face turned bright red with anger. He suddenly stood up, pointed at those young masters and shouted angrily,"You bastards! What right do you have to talk about me here! What's wrong with me, Jiang Cheng? I'm no worse than that Jiang Li!"

"Oh, you're no worse than him? Then why don't you also go and compete? Let's see if you can steal the limelight like Jiang Li did." Zhao Zhongze said provocatively, with an even more complacent smile on his face.

Jiang Cheng was so angry that he lost his理智. Without saying a word, he swung his fist and rushed towards Zhao Zhongze.

Seeing this, the attendants beside Zhao Zhongze rushed forward to stop him and subdued Jiang Cheng in just a few moves. Then, Zhao Zhongze walked slowly in front of Jiang Cheng, sneered and said,"With such little ability, you still want to fight me? Don't overestimate yourself. You'll just be a mid-level warrior for your whole life." After saying that, he ordered his attendants to beat and kick Jiang Cheng.

Although Jiang Cheng struggled hard, he was no match for those people after all. In a short while, he was beaten black and blue and collapsed on the ground.

His fair-weather friends had already run away without a trace.

Seeing this, those young masters left contentedly, leaving Jiang Cheng alone in the private room, feeling angry, resentful and humiliated.

Jiang Cheng struggled to get up from the ground, and the fire of anger in his heart burned even more vigorously.

He blamed all the humiliation on Jiang Li, thinking that if Jiang Li hadn't stolen the limelight at Tingxuexuan today, he wouldn't have been so humiliated.

"Jiang Li, you bastard! It's all because of you that I've lost so much face! I'll definitely make you pay the price!" Jiang Cheng said through gritted teeth, with resentment filling his eyes.

"Oh ho, is this the fourth young master of the Jiang Mansion? Why are you in such a sorry state?"

Jiang Cheng looked over and saw an old man in his sixties or seventies, dressed in black tight-fitting clothes.

"Where did this old codger come from? How dare you mock me!" Jiang Cheng was immediately enraged.[I can't afford to mess with them, but I can still deal with you!]

Wang Dahai bowed slightly, with a seemingly humble smile on his face, and said softly,"Hey~ Fourth Young Master, don't be angry in a hurry. I'm here to help you."

Jiang Cheng frowned and looked at this somewhat unfamiliar person in front of him, and asked impatiently,"Who are you? And how can you help me?"

Wang Dahai said unhurriedly,"I'm Wang Dahai. Although I'm just an insignificant nobody, I'm a beginner-level Soul Master cultivator and have some skills. I know that you, Fourth Young Master, have some grudges with that Jiang Li. I'm willing to serve you and deal with Jiang Li for you."

"Beginner-level Soul Master!" Jiang Cheng, who was just about to make a move, paused, but then he was a bit suspicious because he didn't know this Wang Dahai who had suddenly appeared at all."You say you're a beginner-level Soul Master? What's your proof?"

Wang Dahai smiled slightly and waved his right hand gently. A faint glow of soul power flickered in his palm for a moment and then disappeared."Do you believe me now, Young Master?"

Seeing this, Jiang Cheng's doubts were somewhat alleviated. After pondering for a moment, he said,"Then who are you? And why do you want to help me?"

Wang Dahai stroked his beard and laughed,"Hahaha, who I am doesn't matter. You just need to know that I'm here to help you deal with Jiang Li."

Jiang Cheng hesitated for a moment and weighed the pros and cons.[This old man is an outsider. If he's brought into the mansion and discovered, there'll be big trouble. But this person is at the Soul Master level. If he deals with Jiang Li, it won't be too much effort, and presumably, he won't be caught either.]

Thinking about Jiang Li, who was in the limelight recently, he gritted his teeth and said in a fierce voice,"Alright, since you have such abilities, then tell me how you plan to deal with Jiang Li."

Wang Dahai smiled, closed the door of the room, moved a bit closer, and lowered his voice,"Don't worry, Young Master. I have my own ways. Jiang Li stole the limelight at Tingxuexuan today. Presumably, he's resting in the mansion at this moment.

You arrange an identity for me so that it'll be convenient for me to sneak into his residence tonight. With my soul master's power, I can take him by surprise. I just need to use a little trick to turn him into an idiot, and then he'll never be able to oppose you again, Young Master."

Jiang Cheng nodded slightly after hearing this, but then immediately said,"Humph, you can't kill him. If you kill him, once the mansion starts investigating, there'll be big trouble. As long as you turn him into an idiot and make him lose all his face, that'll be enough."

Wang Dahai sneered in his heart, but still wore that humble smile on his face and replied,"What you said is quite right, Young Master. I'll act according to your instructions and definitely won't let you down."

However, Wang Dahai had other plans in mind. He didn't just want to turn Jiang Li into an idiot. The task given to him from above was to kill this kid completely.

"Ouch!"

The voice of Nanny Chen rang out in distress.

"What's happened to you, Young Master? Your face is black and blue. It really breaks my heart." She rushed to Jiang Cheng in a few quick steps, with her eyes full of love and concern.

In the courtyard, Jiang Cheng, who had returned home, called for Nanny Chen, and as soon as they met, he was greeted with a flood of care.

Nanny Chen lost her husband in her early years and never had children. She had watched Jiang Cheng grow up since he was a child and had always treated him as her own.

Jiang Cheng showed a bit of uneasiness and said in a deep voice,"Nanny Chen."

"Yes, sir." Nanny Chen quickly replied.

"I need you to cooperate with me on some things."

"Please tell me, Young Master."

"I ended up like this all because of that Jiang Li." There was a chilling coldness in Jiang Cheng's voice.

"How dare he! Don't worry, Young Master. I'll go and deal with Jiang Li right away!"

"Don't rush!" Jiang Cheng quickly stopped her.

"I've invited a helper this time." After saying that, Jiang Cheng clapped his hands twice.

Wang Dahai walked out from behind the curtain.

Nanny Chen stared blankly when she saw this person.

[He looks so much like him.]

She didn't come to her senses until Jiang Cheng called out to her.

"This person is the helper I invited. He's a beginner-level Soul Master. The identity I've arranged for him is your husband. I need you to cooperate well. Do you have any questions?"

"No, sir. I'm willing to serve you, Young Master, and will follow all your arrangements." Nanny Chen quickly pulled herself together and replied respectfully.

However, she still couldn't help secretly looking at Wang Dahai, and the strange feeling in her heart grew even stronger.

Wang Dahai bowed slightly and still wore that humble smile on his face as he said to Nanny Chen,"My dear, I'll have to rely on you from now on."

Nanny Chen's heart tightened. That address made her feel dazed again, but she still forced herself to calm down and nodded.

Jiang Cheng looked at the two of them and then said,"We'll take action against Jiang Li tonight. Uncle Wang, you go and get ready first. When it's late at night and everything is quiet, we'll act according to the plan. Nanny Chen, you'll be responsible for taking action. If there's any situation, inform me in time."

"Yes, Young Master." Wang Dahai replied and then turned around and left to make preparations.

After Wang Dahai left, Nanny Chen couldn't help saying to Jiang Cheng,"Young Master, this... This person really looks too much like my husband who passed away many years ago. I always feel a bit strange in my heart."

Jiang Cheng frowned and said impatiently,"Nanny, it's just asking you to cooperate and put on an act. Who cares if he looks like him or not? As long as we can deal with Jiang Li smoothly, that's all that matters. Don't mess things up at this crucial moment."

"Yes, I understand." Although Nanny Chen still had doubts in her heart, she didn't say anything more and could only agree.

When it was late at night, the moonlight was dim, and the entire Jiang Mansion was immersed in silence.

Nanny Chen and Wang Dahai found a secluded place and sat down quietly.

Nanny Chen was still staring fixedly at Wang Dahai, as if his figure overlapped with the one in her memory.

Wang Dahai really couldn't bear this intense gaze and asked,"Why do you keep staring at me?"

"You look like a deceased acquaintance of mine. He was very important to me. If he had lived to your age, he should have looked just like you do now."

After hearing Nanny Chen's words, Wang Dahai was slightly stunned. He hadn't expected this old woman to say such things, which made him feel a bit awkward.

But he quickly regained his humble look, gently patted Nanny Chen's hand, and said,"My dear, the dead are gone. In the days to come, I'll accompany you. For now, let's first handle the matter that the Young Master has entrusted to us. We mustn't let the Young Master down."

Nanny Chen gently withdrew her hand and nodded with a somewhat unnatural expression,"Well, I understand. It's just that when I saw you all of a sudden, it's inevitable that I felt... Oh, never mind. Let's just act according to the plan. You get ready and I'll protect you."
