Chapter 223 The Jiang Family
Three men gathered in the patient room, and they were waiting for the doctor and several nurses who were treating a man with serious injuries, even both his arms and legs were broken.
Luckily, some people found him lying unconscious on the street and recognized his identity, and they immediately rushed him to the hospital.
After a while, they finished their task and left the room. "What exactly happened to you, Yang Lang? How could you be injured this badly? Did Xuanyuan Wan'er beat you up like this?"
"No." Yang Lang shook his head and explained to them. "Brother Long, the person who injured me like this is Mo Xie."
"Huh?" Long Jiuxiao and the other two men were shocked to hear that. "How could Mo Xie do it? As I recall, your fire superpower is quite strong, so you should be able to take him on."
Yang Lang's face darkened upon hearing that. "Hey, Yu Lei! You can try to face that bastard yourself! I don't know what happened last night, but my fire superpower doesn't work against Mo Xie, and his attack power is very strong."
"How is that possible?" Bei Xiang asked in disbelief. "If your opponent is Feng Xian'er, I can believe that your fire won't work on her, especially since her fire is much stronger than yours. As for Mo Xie, his superpower is metal, so I can't believe that your fire can't hurt him."
"Tch!" Yang Lang gritted his teeth after hearing his words. "Did you think I would be like this now if my fire worked on him? I've tried to attack Mo Xie many times with my fire, but he could block my attacks casually, and he didn't get burned by my fire at all."
Unlike the two men, Long Jiuxiao chose to believe Yang Lang's words, especially after his conversation with Jiro last night, and he then said to them. "I didn't expect that Mo Xie could negate your fire, and it was like what Feng Xian'er did to Jin Kang."
"Jin Kang?" They looked at Long Jiuxiao with questioning looks.
"Jin Kang is the person I brought from Europe." Long Jiuxiao then explained it to them. "His superpower is reflecting, but he can't reflect Feng Xian'er's attack, and her attack makes his hand quite badly injured."
"Eh? Is that true?" The three men asked in unison.
"That's really true." Long Jiuxiao nodded to them. "Anyway, I talked to Jiro last night, and he guessed that Feng Xian'er is a cultivator in the legends. If Mo Xie can also negate your attacks, I think he's also a cultivator like her."
"Cultivator?" They looked at Long Jiuxiao with confused looks.
Long Jiuxiao shrugged his shoulders. "At first, I didn't believe it either, but Jiro told me about it, and he also sent me some photos from a place that showed that cultivators had existed on this earth in the past."
"Did Jiro tell you how we can become cultivators?" Yu Lei asked him.
Long Jiuxiao shook his head at him. "Even though Jiro has tried to research everything for several years, he never found any clues to becoming cultivators, so he decided to stop his research on them."
"In that case, how did Mo Xie and Feng Xian'er become cultivators?" Bei Xiang asked with a frown.
"Tch!" Yang Lang then said to them. "Why should you guys be confused about it? If we capture those two, we can force them to tell us the truth about cultivators, and we can also force them to teach us to become ones."
Hearing that, Yu Lei and Bei Xiang immediately turned to Long Jiuxiao, especially since only he had the authority to do that.
"Hey! Jiro just guessed about them, and he doesn't dare to confirm the truth yet." Long Jiuxiao then asked Yang Lang. "Do you want to prolong this matter? If you really want to do so, then you can make a report to the superpower bureau, and they can move to arrest Mo Xie and Feng Xian'er. That way, we can interrogate them later, but you guys better not talk about this cultivator matter to anyone, not even those hidden families."
After all, Long Jiuxiao has his own pride, and he doesn't want to continue to be under the shadow of those hidden families. That's why he didn't want them to know about cultivators, or else they would get ahead of him and capture them, which would be detrimental to him.
Upon hearing that, Yang Lang immediately nodded to him. "All right, you can send people from the superpower bureau here; I will report those two bastards to them."
Long Jiuxiao nodded and left the room directly, and Bei Xiang asked Yang Lang. "Did you find my sister in the Mo Xie mansion?"
"No." Yang Lang shook his head at him. "I watched that mansion for quite a while yesterday, but I didn't see Lian'er there. Anyway, you better look for Yu Xuan right now; I suspect that she's also there by now."
Hearing that, Bei Xiang immediately tried to call his wife, but her number was switched off. He then decided to call his daughter, but her number was also switched off. "Damn it! I can't contact Yu Xuan and Yudie! I'm going to Yu Hua's apartment right now!"
"Hey, I'm coming with you." Yu Lei called out as he followed Bei Xiang away.
*Bam*
"Fuck!" Yang Lang screamed in pain as he slammed both of his hands onto the bed. "Even though Long Jiuxiao said that before, I think I should still ask for help from the Jiang family to take care of Mo Xie and Feng Xian'er, or else this matter will drag on."
After that, Yang Lang called a nurse to meet him, and he asked her to call the Jiang family, for his hands were still difficult to move.
[Why did you suddenly contact me?] A man asked from the other side.
Yang Lang immediately told the man everything, including Jiro's guess that Chen Li and Feng Xian'er were cultivators, but he didn't sound surprised after hearing that. "Brother Jiang Ming, I hope you can help me get revenge on those two bastards; they've even got me hospitalized now."
However, Jiang Ming refused him outright. [You know yourself that I can't do anything to them as long as they don't offend my family directly, so you can take care of your own matters.]
After he said that, Jiang Ming directly ended their call, which made Yang Lang feel even more irritated. "Damn it! He seems to be afraid of Xuanyuan Wan'er, so he isn't willing to help me."

Meanwhile, in a luxurious living room, a middle-aged man is relaxing on the sofa, and he is none other than Jiang Ming.
"Who called you just now, Husband?" A woman in her mid-forties asked him, and her name was Huang Rong, the eldest daughter of the Huang family. Even though she was quite old, her face was still quite attractive, and the way she dressed looked quite sexy.
Jiang Ming immediately told his wife. "It was Yang Lang who called me just now, and he asked me to help catch two people, for they have seriously injured him."
"Oh?" Huang Rong looked surprised to hear that. "Who dares to attack him?"
"Mo Xie and Feng Xian'er." Before his wife interrupted him, Jiang Ming hastily continued. "However, that guy isn't from the Mo family, or else they would have made their move long ago."
"That's true." Huang Rong agreed with that. "As for Feng Xian'er, our son was once attracted to her, but he didn't dare approach her because she was too fierce, so he shifted his target to the Dongfang Twins."
"Haha." Jiang Ming laughed upon hearing that. "Even though Feng Ao is just an ordinary person, Feng Xian'er is one of the strongest superpower possessors, so not many men dare approach them, including our son and your nephew. Even though Dongfang Hanxue looked calm on the outside, she was too cold on the inside; people even called her the Ice Queen. As for Dongfang Hanyue, I don't really like her; she seems easygoing and cheerful, but she is a mischievous and cunning girl."
Huang Rong sighed after hearing that. "I have repeatedly advised Bai'er not to approach them, but he insisted on getting both of them, and he also has to compete with Long Aotian."
"Just let Bai'er do what he wants." Jiang Ming then asked his wife. "Do you still remember our late grandfather's story about cultivators?"
Huang Rong raised her eyebrows and asked back. "Why are you suddenly asking about cultivators?"
"Yang Lang told me that Jiro suspects that Mo Xie and Feng Xian'er are cultivators, mainly because they can negate their superpower."
Her husband's answer surprised Huang Rong. "I remember that our late grandfather had some records of cultivators passed down by our ancestors, but there wasn't a single piece of evidence to show their existence."
"You're wrong about that." Jiang Ming then told her. "Several years ago, Jiro found a place similar to a shrine and many records about their existence, but he has not been able to prove the truth about them."
Huang Rong then conveyed her idea. "Shall we try to approach Feng Xian'er? Who knows, we might get the truth about cultivators from her."
Jiang Ming shook his head. "Forget it; Jiro will be coming to this country in three days, so I will discuss this with him first, and I will make a decision afterwards."
