Chapter 27 Yang Wen’s Apology

About an hour later, with the help of Tian Li and Yang Yue, Yang Cheng prepared a table full of dishes.

As usual, Liu Jiang was cheerful and did not put on any airs as an official. The others also had the intention of befriending him. The atmosphere was very harmonious. The group of people toasted each other and ate happily.

Liu Jiang used this opportunity to get two more energy fruits.

There were 44 energy fruits.

“Knock, knock, knock..”

Halfway through the meal, there was another knock on the door.

Li Jun ran over and opened the door. There were two bruised and battered people standing at the door.

One was in a daze, his eyes bloodshot. The other had his head lowered, looking reluctant.

It was Yang Wen and Yang Bao.

Yang Bao was holding a few exquisite gift boxes.

Yang Wen had a nightmare that lasted 10 hours last night. It was an incomparably vivid and terrifying nightmare.

He was killed by Liu Jiang a thousand times. Every time he died, the feeling was so real and distinct.

The nightmare cast an abnormally powerful shadow over him.

He had completely broken down, shut himself off, and completely doubted himself.

As long as he closed his eyes, his mind was filled with Liu Jiang’s gentle but hair-raising smile.

Seeing Liu Jiang’s gentle smile, his temples throbbed.

He was terrified from the bottom of his heart. No matter how he thought about it, he felt that it was better to make friends than make enemies.

So he dragged Yang Bao to look for Liu Jiang, prepared to lower himself and apologize, turn hostility into friendship, and get along with Liu Jiang in the future.

Yang Wen saw Yang Cheng and a bunch of people in the house from the corner of his eye and cursed his bad luck.

He had a reputation to protect in the Inspection Bureau. How could he apologize in front of so many people?

What a bunch of bastards, bootlickers.

Why did they come to Liu Jiang’s house for no reason?

For a moment, the two brothers did not know whether to come in or not.

The others also saw Yang Wen and Yang Bao at the door, as well as the things in Yang Bao’s hands.

A strange expression appeared on their faces.

Liu Jiang was sharp. When he saw the gift boxes in Yang Bao’s hand and their embarrassed expressions, he guessed what was going on.

He did not expect that after beating the two of them up, they would actually come to apologize.

Fear from Yang Wen, +1420, +..

Fear from Yang Bao, +1120, +..

Feeling the power of emotions gathered by the Treasure Tree, Liu Jiang understood.

Yang Wen and Yang Bao must have been afraid of him.

Liu Jiang pondered.

Then he walked forward with a warm expression and grabbed Yang Wen’s arm. “Captain Yang, come, come, come. Come in and have a seat. We just cooked and took a few bites. You came at the right time. Hurry up, sit down and try some of our team’s chefs’ cooking.”

Li Jun immediately got up and brought two stools over. Yang Yue also brought chopsticks.

Liu Jiang’s enthusiasm eased the awkwardness of Yang Wen and Yang Bao.

The two brothers smiled politely and sat on a stool.

Gratitude from Yang Wen, +1240, +.., joy from Yang Wen, +1210, +..

Gratitude from Yang Bao, +1080, +.., joy from Yang Bao, +1020, +..

The 45th energy fruit quietly ripened.

There was only gratitude and joy, not a hint of killing intent.

Liu Jiang relaxed and was delighted. It was better to have another friend than another enemy.

He was a ruthless person. He would never be polite to his enemies.

However, what he liked more was to make friends. Besides, he could make friends now.

It was killing two birds with one stone.

Liu Jiang picked up a glass of wine and said seriously, “Captain Yang, I went a little overboard yesterday during the assessment. I’d wanted to go to your place tonight to apologize to you guys.

Since you’re here to reproach me today, I’ll punish myself by drinking three cups and apologize to Captain Yang and Brother Yang Bao. I hope Captain Yang and Brother Yang Bao can forgive me.”

With that, Liu Jiang filled three glasses and drank them all heartily.

When Yang Wen and Yang Bao heard this, they were slightly stunned, but Yang Wen quickly reacted. Liu Jiang was giving him face because anyone could tell that they were here to apologize, but Liu Jiang said that they were here to reproach him and even took the initiative to apologize to the two of them.

This way, the two brothers would not have to embarrass themselves in front of so many inspectors.

This greatly saved his face.

Good person, he thought.

Impressive.

This tactic, this thought, was amazing.

For a moment, Yang Wen was impressed and grateful.

Yang Wen was instantly overjoyed and grateful. He quickly said, “Yesterday, the two of us provoked you. It was our fault. We should be the ones apologizing.”

Liu Jiang said, “I should be the one apologizing.”

Gratitude from Yang Wen +999, +.., joy +999, +..

The 46th energy fruit was ripe.

Yang Wen said, “I should be the one apologizing.”

Li Hu, Wang Quan, and Tian Li, who had low EQ, were a little dumbfounded and could not understand the situation.

Yang Cheng, Li Jun, and the others were sharp, but they reacted quickly and were secretly impressed.

They did not expect Liu Jiang to be so good at dealing with people.

He did not look like a 17-year-old at all.

How amazing

Liu Qingzhong and Guo Cuicui nodded repeatedly.

As inn owners, they had sharp eyes. Although they did not know the whole story, they could guess some things.

These people must have been scared by Liu Jiang and came to apologize with a gift.

Liu Qingzhong and his wife looked at each other and sighed inwardly.

They did not expect that after not seeing him for a few years, Liu Jiang had become so good at dealing with people.

At first, they were a little worried that Liu Jiang would lose out by not having social skills.

But now it seemed that Liu Jiang was much smarter than they had expected.

They were so relieved.

Relieved.

Joy from Liu Qingzhong, +1210, +..

Joy from Guo Cuicui, +1180, +..

Liu Jiang said, “We didn’t know each other until we fought. We’ll be brothers from now

on.”

Yang Wen also took advantage of the situation. “Yes, we’re brothers. From now on, be it business or personal matters, as long as you need my help, feel free to ask. Don’t treat me like an outsider.”

Liu Jiang did not have the slightest intention of being young and arrogant. He said politely, “Captain Yang is my elder brother and senior. There are many things that I need your help with. When the time comes, please guide me.”

Liu Jiang had lowered his status and given Yang Wen enough face. Yang Wen was grateful. While he admired Liu Jiang, his impression of him had also improved greatly.

The atmosphere immediately became harmonious. After the meal, Liu Jiang got another energy fruit.

There were 47 energy fruits.

At night, after chatting with his parents for a while, Liu Jiang returned to his room and looked at the Treasure Tree with blazing eyes.

On the Treasure Tree, there was another energy fruit. There were already 48 of them.

When he was chatting with his parents just now, the Treasure Tree absorbed a portion of the joy.

And Wang Xiaoyu, who he saved on the streets today, was offering him gratitude intermittently.

Gratitude from Wang Xiaoyu, +500!

There it was again.

Liu Jiang was slightly stunned and happy. Then he began to refine the energy fruit.

“One, two..”

Liu Jiang guided the rich energy to attack the narrow spiritual source.

He used 20 energy fruits in one go, but there was no sign of a breakthrough.

When he broke through to the nine-star Black Iron level, he only used six energy fruits.

This was more than three times the amount for the previous level.

However, Liu Jiang had expected this. Getting from the peak of the Black Iron level to the Bronze level was a huge cultivation burden. Countless people were stuck here for their entire lives, unable to break through.

Without stopping, Liu Jiang continued to refine the energy fruits.

21 fruits, 22 fruits..

The 35th energy fruit was completely refined.

Then Liu Jiang’s spiritual source suddenly trembled.

“Buzz..”

A low voice sounded in Liu Jiang’s dantian.
