On The Path Of Cultivation To Become God

Chapter 167: Old Man Wake Up

"Please... I-I beg you, I will never do it again!" A middle-aged man begged as tears streamed down his face.

He clutched onto the legs of the person standing before him, desperation evident in his voice.

"I know I made a terrible mistake, but please find it in your heart to forgive me. I promise to make amends and change my ways. I'm begging you for a second chance.".

Chen Tian gazed at the man with indifference in his eyes.

He remained unmoved by the man's pleas, his expression cold and unyielding.

It was clear that forgiveness was not something he was willing to grant easily.

The middle-aged man's cries fell on deaf ears as Chen Tian snapped his finger as spiritual Qi restricted the man from moving and speaking.

Then the man's eyes widened in horror as his body started burning from within. Flames licked at his skin, devouring him from the inside out.

Chen Tian watched in silence, his face still devoid of any emotion.

The man wanted to scream, but no sound came out, as if invisible hands were squeezing the life out of him.

The torment was unbearable, and he realized that this was the price he had to pay for his wrongdoing.

As the flames consumed him, his body became nothing more than a charred husk, a reminder of the consequences of crossing Chen Tian.

Chen Tian remained unmoved. This was the consequence of his actions—the price he had to pay for hurting his family.

No amount of begging or pleading could save him now.

"Now there is just one person left," Chen Tian said coldly, his voice devoid of any remorse.

After killing the three people involved in Chen Ying and Mei Hua's accident, it was time for Chen Tian to deal with the mastermind behind everything.

The Yi Family

The cause of all this trouble

In the documents that he read, Chen Tian knew that the family head, Yi Guo, was the one who orchestrated everything.

He had manipulated the circumstances that led to Chen Ying and Mei Hua's accident, and now it was time for him to face the consequences of his actions.

Chen Tian's heart burned with anger and determination as he headed toward the Yi family mansion.

*****

At the hospital, the girls have already arrived.

After getting Chen Ying's room number, they rushed to her side. Aria and Leng Zhiqing were relieved to see that their mother wasn't seriously injured.

On the contrary, their mother looked to be in perfect condition.

Aria and Leng Zhiqing couldn't help but feel a sense of relief wash over them.

They had been crying on the way here after hearing the news of their mother's accident, fearing the worst. But seeing her now, seemingly unharmed, provided them with a glimmer of relief.

Emilia also breathed a sigh of relief. She had been worried sick about her best friend's mother.

Emilia hugged Aria and Leng Zhiqing, sharing in their moment of relief.

She shook her head, aware that it was Chen Tian's work.

She wasn't blind, once she saw that Chen Ying was perfectly fine without any injuries, just after the doctors told them that she had several bruises on her body.

"Girls, have you seen Tian?" Chen Ying asked the girls with a concerned tone.

She had witnessed Chen Tian storming out of the room in a state of anger, and she was concerned that he might take actions he would later regret.

"Chen Tian was here!" It was Leng Zhiqing who asked, her voice filled with doubt.

Aria and Leng Zhiqing exchanged doubt-filled glances before turning back to look at Emilia.

They obviously doubted that Chen Tian could have arrived here quicker than them, especially given his earlier frustration.

"We haven't seen Chen Tian since he left the house," Emilia replied. "But if I'm right, he should have returned home."

Emilia lied to Chen Ying.

Aria and Leng Zhiqing didn't know what to make of Emilia's response.

Due to their mother's accident, they had both forgotten to seek answers from Chen Tian.

However, now that they saw their mother in good health, they decided to approach Chen Tian with many questions once he returned.

After talking with their mother for a while, Aria Leng Zhiqing and Emilia left toward Mei Hua's room to check on the woman who had been injured in the accident.

On the fifth floor of the hospital, an old man opened his eyes and looked around the room.

He had a surprised look on his face as he realized that he was no longer in his own home.

Confused, he tried to sit up but found himself feeling refreshed and rejuvenated, unlike the pain he had been feeling before.

"The pain in my body is gone!" The old man exclaimed in disbelief. It had been months since he had felt this light and pain-free.

Just as he was going to call for a nurse, a young woman walked into the room with a warm smile on her face.

Seeing the woman that entered, the old man bloomed with a smile; his eyes suddenly sparkled with joy.

"Little Ming"

"Grandpa!!"

Ming Ming rushed to her grandfather's side, embracing him tightly.

Tears streamed down the little girl's face as she held onto her grandfather, overwhelmed with emotion.

It had been months since she had seen him this lively, and she never thought she would witness him free from pain again.

The old man embraced his granddaughter with all his strength, cherishing the moment as if it could slip away at any second.

He knew that his condition was grave and there was no way to know how much time he had left.

The old man wasn't afraid of death, but he regretted leaving his granddaughter behind.

But after waking up, he felt as if his body was rejuvenated, as if a weight had been lifted off his shoulders.

The pain that had once consumed him was now a distant memory.

He couldn't help but feel a glimmer of hope, believing that maybe, just maybe, he had more time left with his beloved granddaughter.

As their tears mingled, he whispered in her ear, "Little Ming, can you tell me what happened?"

Little Ming looked up at her grandfather, her eyes filled with relief and joy.

With a trembling voice, she explained how her grandfather ended up in this situation.

Of course, she didn't forget to mention Chen Tian and how he saved him from the curse.

Her voice would change when the name Chen Tian was mentioned, filled with admiration and gratitude.

The old man could feel how his granddaughter's expression would change as she spoke about Chen Tian.

Her face would become red with embarrassment, and her eyes would sparkle the more she remembered Chen Tian's face.

It was clear to her grandfather that Chen Tian held a special place in Little Ming's heart, and he couldn't help but feel a sense of gratitude towards him as well.

It was clear that the young man had made a lasting impression on her.

The more the old man heard his granddaughter's words, the more shock he felt.

"A Divine Level Martial Arts Master at just 18 years old — that's truly impressive," he said, his words stumbling as he tried to express his amazement.

He of all people knew how hard it was to reach such a level as Divine Martial Arts, which was extremely hard to achieve.

Chen Tian's achievement at such a young age was a testament to his talent.

"I must meet this Chen Tian, and personally thank him for curing me." The old man's heart swelled with gratitude and admiration for the young prodigy.

"Little Ming, did he tell you from which family he was?" the old man asked his granddaughter.

"Yes, Grandpa," Little Ming replied.

He is from the Chen family, who are in the beauty product business.

"Chen Family?"

"Yes grandpa"

Ming Ming explained more about Chen Tian's background to her grandfather.

The old man's eyes lit up with recognition.

"So, the young boy is related to that little devil girl"

"Hahahaha!!"

The old man let out a hearty laugh.

"Little Ming, prepare some gifts and send them to his family; they also should be in this hospital."

The old man smiled warmly at Ming-Ming.

"Okay, grandfather, I will make sure to do that right away," Ming Ming replied.

After a couple of minutes, Butler Wan returned, and seeing that his master was fine and in good spirits, he breathed a sigh of relief. "Master, I'm glad that you're feeling better," Butler Wan said with a smile.

"Hahaha, Wan, my friend, of course I am feeling better; I'm also feeling as strong as ever," the old man replied, patting Butler Wan on the shoulder.

Seeing her grandfather in high spirits brought a sense of comfort and joy to Ming-Ming.

She left the room so she could let both of them talk.

Both Butler Wan and the old man began conversing, and the subject of their discussion was none other than Chen Tian.
