"Here she comes, here she comes, little mistress is coming…"

"Hey, this kid is really something, he actually got it back..."

"Hurry, hurry, hurry... water..."

On a construction site, a group of workers were gathered around a drilling rig, shouting and scrambling as they pulled up a muddy figure. They washed it with water, removed the helmet, and revealed a pale face.

"Dongzi, are you alright?"

A fellow worker on the side, worriedly asked, Chen Dong's face was pale at this moment, his nose was bleeding crimson, and he looked utterly haggard.

"It's okay."

After a long while, he recovered. Chen Dong wiped his nose and waved his hand, putting on a smile as he struggled to get up from the ground, almost falling over. He weakly said, “Money…”

"Money, money, money, all you care about is money! You're really risking your life for it. Even going down there this deep, you're not afraid of dying? Alright, go get your pay from Mr. Wang."

A fellow worker patted Chen Dong on the shoulder with a smile, the latter smiled and walked towards the project department with a weary body.

"Finally, I have money."

Wiping his nose, Chen Dong burst into a genuine smile. He had lost his father at a young age and it was his mother who single-handedly raised him, taking care of him from infancy until adulthood. To afford Chen Dong's education, his mother secretly sold many possessions over the years and even fainted multiple times due to exhaustion.

My mother was recently involved in a sudden car accident. Her condition is critical and she urgently needs 200,000 yuan for treatment. We have sold all of our valuable possessions, but we are still short of the final 50,000 yuan.

For this fifty thousand dollars, he went to every relative and friend he knew. But as soon as he mentioned borrowing money, they all turned him down, some even blocking his number.

When he was at his wit's end, he happened upon a drill bit falling into a borehole that was dozens of meters deep. No one dared to go down, but Chen Dong went down without hesitation because the foreman said whoever retrieved the drill bit would be rewarded with 50,000 yuan immediately, and if they couldn't bring it up, 500,000 yuan!

Luckily, he succeeded, and it was worth the risk!

As soon as he thought about having this fifty thousand yuan, he could give it to his mother, his steps became much lighter. But just as he was about to reach the project department and push open the office door, a man's voice came from inside.

"Brother Qiang, this is an office. Aren't you afraid of being seen by Chen Dong?"

"Chen Dong? That coward probably died in the drilling shaft. It's so deep, there's no way he could have survived!"

"Brother Qiang, you're so bad! You not only got his mother hospitalized but now you killed Chen Dong."

"Tch, who let that old geezer find out about us? Serves him right. By the way, when Chen Dong's compensation comes through, I'll buy you a BMW..."

"Thank you, Qiangge. You're still so kind to people..."

Then came the sound of a wave crashing...

"This guy is a dog!"

Chen Dong, who heard this conversation outside the door, suddenly had red eyes. This man and woman were none other than Wang Qiang, the foreman, and his friend Zhou Qin. Ever since Zhou Qin came to the construction site to find him and was caught by Wang Qiang, Wang Qiang's eyes had been constantly wandering towards Zhou Qin with a sly look. Unexpectedly, they got together so quickly.

When the mother discovered the two of them in such close proximity, Wang Qiang actually went so far as to shove his mother down, nearly killing her. Afterward, no matter how hard they searched, they couldn't find the culprit. This is what really happened.

Thinking of this, Chen Dong's anger flared up all at once. He kicked the office door with a heavy foot.

Bang!

"Wang Qiang, you bastard dog, I'll kill you!"

With a roar, Chen Dong charged forward. Wang Qiang and the other were in the middle of something when he arrived. They didn't have time to dodge and were directly kicked over by Chen Dong.

"You son of a bitch, you let your car hit my mother, I'll kill you!"

Chen Dong roared with rage, remembering his mother lying in bed, dying. His anger was uncontrollable, and he beat Wang Qiang until he was bruised and swollen.

"Damn, you fucking dare to hit me?"

Wang Qiang got angry and just yelled out a sentence, but what greeted him was even more ferocious punches.

"Chen Dong, are you crazy?"

Zhou Qin only then came to her senses, screaming and scratching Chen Dong with her sharp nails, leaving several scratches on his skin.

Slap!

Chen Dong retaliated with a punch to the ear, sending Zhou Qin crashing to the ground. He glared at this person who had tormented him for years, his voice trembling with fury. "Zhou Qin, you despicable wretch! I never thought you were such a shameless piece of trash, even resorting to taking advantage of an old dog like me."

Chen Dong was filled with rage. In the past, Zhou Qin would blush even if he just held her hand. Now, she was openly in bed with a fifty-year-old man in broad daylight. She really had no shame.

"Trash? Chen Dong, blame yourself for being a loser. I thought your family was poor, that's fine, at least you were doing well academically and could find a good job later on. Who knew you'd offend someone you shouldn't have, getting expelled from school."

"To be honest with you, the last time I came to find you was to break up with you. Who knew I'd run into Strong Brother by chance? Thanks to him, I realized how happy it is to be a person. Have you seen this bag? It's Gucci, tens of thousands of dollars each. You couldn't afford it even if you moved bricks for a year!"

Zhou Qin pointed at Chen Dong's nose and cursed, righteous and arrogant, as if all this was a capital to be proud of.

"You!"

Listening to Zhou Qin's words that shattered Chen Dong's three views, his face turned ashen with anger. He never expected that Zhou Qin, who would blush when they held hands back then, would now become so despicable for a little money.

"Alright, alright, I must have been blind, Chen Dong muttered angrily, feeling disheartened. He thought he could be with Zhou Qin from school uniforms to wedding gowns, but he never expected this..."

"Grass Mud Horse, you little piece of trash, dare you hit me? I'll kill you!"

Just then, Wangqiang's roar came from behind. Chen Dong hurriedly turned around, but it was too late. All he saw was an ashtray rapidly enlarging in front of him.

Bang…

With a heavy blow, blood streamed from his forehead. Chen Dong suddenly felt dizzy and fell to the ground, his consciousness gradually fading.

"Qiang Ge, he...won't die, will he?"

"Died just right, later I'll find a pillar and throw it in, concrete will pour over it, nobody will know…"

Looking at Chen Dong lying on the ground, Zhou Qin was a little scared, but Wang Qiang didn't seem to care. Anyway, he wasn't doing this for the first time. Once the concrete dried, no one would be able to find out.

However, as the two discussed how to dispose of Chen Dong's "corpse", no one noticed that the blood flowing on the ground was absorbed into a piece of ancient pendant at Chen Dong's neck at an astonishing speed.

The next moment, a flash of light disappeared.

... thud.

As the bell tolled, Chen Dong, on the verge of losing consciousness, felt a surge of heat flow into his brain. In the next moment, a torrent of information flooded in like water.

"Three thousand years have passed, and my descendant has finally appeared. From today onwards, you shall be the sixteenth master of the Xiaoyao Sect. Please study these Xiaoyao Medical Scripture and Ten Thousand Phenomena Taoism carefully..."
