C30 Hidden in the City

Fan City was one of the main cities in Great Ming. People from all walks of life lived here. Just like all the other cities, the more prosperous a place was, the more powerful the underworld would be. Brothels, casinos, restaurants, and other businesses related to the unorthodox sects were located in Lin Fan City. There were countless gangs of various sizes.

Gu Laodao had been living in Linfan City for his whole life, and only then did he become a prominent figure among the older generation of the society. The old men in Jianghu were also old. According to him, they could no longer do business on the streets. Half a month ago, they had given the business to his savior, Lu Aada, without any hesitation.

However, Gu Laodao, who should have washed his hands and enjoyed himself, was pouring tea for an unattractive young man. After Gu Laodao served the tea, he even said with a smile, "Master, please try this hundred-year-old ginseng tea. It's nutritious!"

"Yes!"

Looking at the young man in white with his hair in a bun, he took the tea cup. Lightly taking a sip. Gu Laodao's heart finally calmed down, although he had been with the other party for more than ten days. Gu Laodao still didn't dare to look into the other party's grey eyes, especially his hands that were always wearing gloves. It always made Gu Laodao feel that the knife hidden in Bruley could be used to cut his neck at any time.

That was right. That young man was the commander of Royal Guardian, Lu Changkong. According to Eunuch Hsiao's arrangement, he had become Gu Laodao's saviour, the new owner of Ruyi, and had hidden himself in the secular world.

Of course, Eunuch Hsiao had also made sufficient preparations in advance - Lu Changkong was thousands of miles away from the capital. He had also sealed 90% of his power, limiting himself to the Xiantian realm of a martial arts master. In addition, in the cultivation realm, no one was allowed to harass or kill mortals. Do not use magical energy in the secular world. Do not stay in the secular world for too long. As long as Lu Changkong didn't take the initiative to attack the patrols of the cultivation realm, who would care about a person in the pugilistic world?

Wang Han, who came with him, was even more so for Lao Yao. A person who hadn't even formed his Golden Core was at most a martial arts expert. There was no need to hide it anymore. In addition to Wang Han's bandit aura, he was just a big bully.

Lu Changkong placed the teacup and said amiably, "Laodao! Don't be too restrained. My identity here is still your benefactor, not your master. How would I look if I was seen by others?"

"Your Excellency is right!" Gu Laodao wiped his cold sweat and said, "But when there are no outsiders, I still have to abide by the rules. "

Lu Changkong knew that he would not be able to adapt to his status in a short period of time, so he did not force himself. He took the account book next to him and said, "A casino, three brothels, ten restaurants, and a bank. Your business is not small. You have worked hard for the court for the past few decades. It's time to take a break. "

Gu Laodao was so scared that he fell to his knees and begged. "Master, master. . . Seeing that I have been conscientious all these years, you should let me live. I won't forget your great kindness in my next life! "

Gu Laodao was very clear about the fate of his colleagues. When the Imperial Court no longer needed them, these people would immediately disappear, and even their families would be wiped away forever. The reason why he wasn't alone at such a young age was also because of this.

Lu Changkong frowned and said, "I am not under the jurisdiction of the two factories. Their actions will not work on me. You should also take a break at your age and enjoy a good life!"

"No, no, no. . . " Gu Laodao waved his hand and said: "Young one, although you are a little old, you can still do it. You can still do it. Master, leave the little one here. It's good to order him around like a dog. "

Lu Changkong did not look down on him because he wagged his tail and begged for mercy. Instead, he felt deeply sad for Gu Laodao. He stretched out his hand and helped Gu Laodao up. He said solemnly, "I now officially hire you to serve Royal Guardian and enjoy 30% of the profit from Ruyi. As long as you are here, I, Lu Changkong, will support you for one day. After a hundred years, I will personally send you off. "

He turned to Wang Han and Lao Yao and said. "In the future, when you are in front of Old Man Gu, you must perform the courtesy of a junior. You cannot neglect it. "

"Yes!" Lao Yao obediently helped Gu Laodao up and said, "Old Man Gu, please have a seat. "

Gu Laodao could not believe his ears. After Lao Yao helped him to the chair, he woke up from his daze. He knelt down in front of Lu Changkong again and said, "Master, I will never forget your great kindness. I just want to repay you. "

Lu Changkong took out two pills of alchemy. "Take this pill. I guarantee you will live a hundred years longer. "

Gu Laodao only knew what kind of poison it was. It was the usual method used by the East Factory to control their subordinates.

"Although Lu Changkong's words are good, they can only be at ease after eating the pill!" Gu Laodao sighed in his heart. He took the medicinal pill and ate it in front of Lu Changkong.

Not long after the pill entered his mouth, Gu Laodao felt a pain in his stomach. Cold sweat and tears flowed down his face. He pointed at Lu Changkong and shouted, "If you want to kill me, then kill me. Before I die, you still need to pretend to be merciful. Who do you think you are?"

"You don't know how to appreciate favors!" Wang Han cursed. He grabbed Gu Laodao's collar and dragged him out. Without much effort, Gu Laodao turned around with a red face. After the landslide and tsunami in the outhouse, he felt refreshed. Not only did his inner energy flip over twice, but it also broke through the bottleneck and directly entered the Innate Realm that he dreamt of. It was as if he had suddenly become more than ten years younger. He was so happy that he danced and danced. If it were not for Wang Han's scolding, He was still smiling foolishly in the outhouse!

Gu Laodao thanked him with a red face. "I misunderstood you, my lord. Please forgive me, my lord. "

"I was just joking with you on a whim. Your reaction just now was also human nature. No matter how you put it, you still blame me for making too much of a joke. " Lu Changkong smiled as he picked up the teacup and took a few sips. Only then did the tea taste a little bit better, but the tea immediately changed its taste.

Gu Laodao came up and said mysteriously: "Master, are you a Divine Immortal?"

"Not really!" Lu Changkong was right. He was still far from being a Divine Immortal!

Gu Laodao only thought that he was being modest. He knelt down much faster than when he spoke. "Master, he said. I, Laodao, have been working for the Imperial Court my whole life. There are many things that I can't do if I want to. There are many things that I want to say that I can't say, but you have shown mercy and helped me fulfill my wish. Accept me as your disciple! Give me a method to live forever so that I can live longer and fulfill my wish. "

If he had another reason to acknowledge Lu Changkong as his master, Lu Changkong would definitely reject him strictly. However, this "wish" aroused the pain in Lu Changkong's heart. Master. Jun Moxiao, Liu Yong. These were the people who were of utmost importance to him. How many of his wishes had not been fulfilled, how many regrets had he left with? Even though Lu Changkong swore to complete it for them. But others could not replace the joy of experiencing it themselves!

Lu Changkong let out a long sigh and said: "I can accept you as an in-name disciple. However, if I have any orders in the future, you have to leave me immediately. You can't tell anyone about my relationship with you. Do you understand? "

"Disciple greets Master!" Although Gu Laodao felt that the second half of Lu Changkong's sentence was very strange, he was still happy that he couldn't find the north. He politely bowed to Lu Changkong as his master. As meticulous as he was, he also tried to get the meaning of the second half of Lu Changkong's words from Wang Han and Lao Yao.

After listening to Lu Changkong's past, Gu Laodao, who had been hardened by the deception in the martial world, also had tears streaming down his face. He was secretly glad that he didn't follow the wrong person. He was very attentive to Wang Han and Lao Yao. He took advantage of the few days he had free time to lead the two of them to play around in Fancheng City. He fished out silver pieces like paper, and didn't even blink. He just hoped that they would say a few more words in front of Lu Changkong so that he could formally accept him as his disciple.

Not long after, trouble came knocking on his door. Gu Laodao was drinking tea with Lu Changkong and the others when the famous gangster, Huang Pi, barged into the living room. He sat on the chair casually and looked at Lu Changkong from the corner of his eye. "You are Lu Aada?"

"That's right!"

"Yes, Lu Changkong said. " After getting Lu Changkong's confirmation, Huang Pi curled his lips and said: "You have Laodao's property. This is a fortune that fell from the sky. According to the rules of the society, when you meet someone, you can split the fortune in half. Today, Master Huang came here to discuss with you. How about giving half of your property to a few big brothers?"

"Bastard!" Gu Laodao saw that his master's head was about to explode. He was so angry that he slammed the table and stood up. "Who do you think you are? You dare to hit the autumn wind of my Ruyi?"

"Hehe!" Huang Pi sneered and said, "Laodao, I advise you to calm down. An old man should not let go. This Lu Aada really did not know the rules. After accepting the business for more than a month, he still didn't know how to pay his respects to the pier and pay his respects to the Earthly Lord. The few of us have discussed it. We have to train, train. You old dog! Better watch from the side! Don't give me any face!"

"You. . . " Gu Laodao was so angry that smoke was rising from his seven orifices. He stood up and was about to attack.

"Fight! You dare to fight?" Huang Pi smiled and said: "Let me tell you, you touched one of my hairs. I'll make you kneel and help me up. "

Huang Pi stood up and said: "Lu, arrange a table of wine for us men tomorrow night. Take the account book and wait. If you don't come, don't say I'll wreck your place. " After saying that, he stuck a shining dagger into the table and left.

"Damn it, he's challenging us!" Wang Han almost smashed the table. "He thinks we are stupid and easy to bully. If I don't crush his egg, I will be raised by a young lady. "

Lu Changkong waved his hand and drank his tea as if nothing had happened. He asked, "Who are the brothers he mentioned?"

Gu Laodao said with a flushed face. "It's Bald Chen, Li Zai, Huang Pi, and the tall idiot. These four hooligans have always been dominating the West District. Who would have thought that they would extend their hands to the East District. . . Damn it, they. . . "

Wang Han was also so angry that his face turned green. "Big brother, why didn't you let me do it just now? It's much easier to chop off that shrew skin than to kill a chicken. . . "

Lao Yao changed Lu Changkong's cup of tea and said. "Those hooligans are really hateful. Master, what should we do? As long as you say something, I will peel off his skin and light his lamp. "

"What do we do?" Lu Changkong laughed and said, "Let's treat them to drinks and eat!"

"Drink and eat?" The three of them were all stunned.

After Lu Changkong finished his instructions, the three of them left with cold smiles on their faces. The next morning, the four bosses received Lu Changkong's invitation. The invitation was naturally written very politely, which made the four of them go to the banquet with two of their subordinates.
