Others Level Up, but I Pursue Cultivation!

Soon, Baili Tu summoned Baili Qi, and with him came several middle-aged men with powerful auras.

All three Martial Emperor Level patrons of the Baili Business Association had arrived!

“Father, father, how are you? Has this villain not done anything to you?”

A round and plump man tumbled and scrambled into the bedroom, then stood protectively behind Baili Tu.

When Su Xing saw this chubby man, he was taken aback, clearly not expecting Baili Qi to look like this.

Dressed in a short-sleeved shirt with cartoon characters printed on it and wearing a pair of black-framed glasses, he was less than 1.7 meters tall, but weighed at least 200 kilograms!

“Damn, this is totally the look of a fat otaku, isn’t it?”

Su Xing silently ridiculed in his heart.

However, after verifying that Baili Tu was unharmed, Baili Qi waved his hand dismissively.

Suddenly, a Martial Emperor Level patron stepped forward and, without saying a word, threw a punch at Su Xing.

Seeing this, Su Xing narrowed his eyes and, without any hesitation, threw a punch to meet it.

Boom!

In that instant, a sound akin to a mountain collapsing spread throughout the entire Baili residence.

The shockwave from their punches sent all the tables and chairs in the room flying.

At the end of that single punch, the Martial Emperor Level powerhouse grunted and staggered back dozens of steps, tumbling into the courtyard before he could finally come to a halt.

In contrast, Su Xing moved back only half a step, his expression unchanged.

“How dare you!”

“Impudence! This is the Baili residence; do you really think you can behave so recklessly here?”

The other two Martial Emperor Level patrons immediately lost their temper, seeming ready to gang up and attack Su Xing.

The atmosphere instantly became as tense as a standoff.

Just then, Baili Tu barked out:

“Impudence! Everyone back off! This elder is my friend; how dare you all act so recklessly?”

After speaking, Baili Tu slapped Baili Qi’s chubby face and scolded:

“You unfilial son, how could you attack an elder without any explanation?”

“Hurry up and apologize to the elder!”

Without offering any defense, Baili Qi immediately bowed to Su Xing and sincerely said:

“Elder, I acted rashly just now out of concern for my father, and almost made a grave mistake. Please punish me as you see fit!”

Watching the father and son play good cop, bad cop in this act, Su Xing didn’t call them out but just sneered and said:

“Heh, have you probed enough already?”

“It’s time to get down to business. Where are the items I want?”

Upon hearing this, an awkward expression appeared on Baili Qi’s face, but Baili Tu, obviously thicker-skinned, only said:

“Elder, the item you’re looking for, I’ll have my unworthy son take you to get it right away!”

Su Xing nodded slightly and stood quietly on the side, waiting.

Su Xing knew that if not for a sign from his father, Baili Qi would never have allowed a Martial Emperor strongman to strike directly.

In Su Xing’s mind, Baili Tu’s actions probably had two purposes.

First, if Su Xing was strong enough, Baili Tu indeed had no assurance that he could hold on to Su Xing.

Then the deal they had discussed before would certainly stand, and Baili Tu would politely present the Instance Dungeon Items, even going so far as to try and curry favor with Su Xing.

Second, if Su Xing was not as strong as that Martial Emperor, then Baili Tu would likely turn hostile on the spot.

He would want not only to capture Su Xing but also to extract the secret of the Life Extension Pills Su Xing held in his possession!

After all, an elixir that could extend life by five years, how could Baili Tu not be tempted?

That simple exchange of blows just now was actually a game of wits between Su Xing and Baili Tu.

Baili Tu relied on his cunning experience and deep schemes, while Su Xing, of course, relied on his confidence in his own strength!

Being nearly invincible under the legendary level is not just something said for fun!

But to return to the main topic, Baili Tu cheerfully said to Baili Qi:

“Good lad, the elder is interested in your Instance Dungeon Items. Now, hurry up and give all those broken toys to the elder!”

Just a second ago, Baili Qi, still smiling, had a change of expression upon hearing this, his face immediately turning into a mask of pain.

He cast a furtive glance at Su Xing, then whispered in Baili Tu’s ear:

“Dad, why don’t we just finish it once and for all and take him out? That way, we can reap the benefits, and I won’t lose my treasures…”

Baili Tu instantly became furious upon hearing this, truly angry this time, nearly slapping his son’s teeth out with a smack.

Baili Tu then scolded:

“You unfilial son, quickly hand over all the Instance Dungeon Items!”

Upon hearing this, Baili Qi felt wronged and tried to defend himself:

“Old man, those treasures took me over twenty years to collect… I can’t bear to give them away just like that.”

Seeing the father and son looking like they were about to quarrel, Su Xing’s interest was piqued, and he stood by watching the drama unfold.

Sure enough, Baili Tu’s old face was red with anger as he scolded:

“You unfilial son, you unfilial son!”

“What’s more important, your trashy Instance Dungeon Items or your father’s life? You decide for yourself!”

Upon hearing Baili Tu’s rebuke, Baili Qi indeed showed a look of hesitation on his face, as if he was truly weighing whether his treasures were more important than his father’s life.

Seeing this, Baili Tu was so angry he nearly spat out blood, slapping him several times more before scolding aloud:

“Go now!”

Baili Qi still didn’t move, and even had the nerve to argue:

“Old man, you’ve already lived for over five hundred years, you’ve pretty much lived long enough!”

“But I’ve only lived for a little over fifty years. Those treasures are half a lifetime’s hard work for me!”
