Beijing, Youlong Pavilion.

This small three-story building is located in a narrow alley of Dongshi. As a restaurant owned by Ji Shi's family, the business seems to be extremely sluggish. Although it is already lunch time, there are no seats in the restaurant.

Only the two people sitting opposite each other were Li Mo and Ji Shi.

"You actually entered Hongmen? The errands there are not easy to handle."

Master Ji swung his wine glass and looked at Li Mo with squinted eyes.

"Do I have any more choices?"

Li Mo picked up the chopsticks, picked up a piece of beef with soy sauce and put it into his mouth. The flavor melted and lingered on the tip of his tongue, and the braised flavor went straight into his throat.

"That's right. You were so popular that you killed the disciples of Martial Arts Mountain, which invisibly cut off many opportunities for retreat." Master Ji chuckled.

"You know everything?"

Li Mo paused slightly with his outstretched chopsticks and glanced at Master Ji with a deep look.

Considering the impact of the battle that day, it did not spread, and the news only spread within the Xuantian Pavilion.

After a few days, Master Ji obviously knew it clearly.

This made Li Mo quite concerned.

"The strong men of Xuanmen gather together, and the ladies of Lingmen are not easy to mess with. There are too many foreign differences in Wumen, so it is inevitable that they will be good. Both the prison and prison gates are all dirty work, so it doesn't matter if you don't get in..."

Having said this, Master Ji drank the wine in his glass and squinted his eyes.

"If I had known earlier... you might as well have used some connections to get into the second gate of Heaven and Earth."

As soon as he said this, Li Mo looked calm and put down the chopsticks in his hand.

"Among the first four sects...the two sects of Heaven and Earth never accept disciples from the mountain sect, and only train direct descendants...don't you know?"

"Smelly rules... These rules were set by the first generation master of the Xuantian Pavilion... Speaking of which, in his eyes, only the two sects of Heaven and Earth are considered direct descendants." Master Ji sneered.

"What are the duties of these two sects?" Li Mo couldn't help but ask.

He generally understood the eight Xuantian sects, but he knew very little about the two Heavenly and Earth sects. They seemed to be independent of the other six sects.

These days, Li Mo went in and out of Xuantian Pavilion and could not even see the disciples of the two gates of heaven and earth.

"The Dimen is responsible for the affairs of the royal family, entering and leaving the palace, and is related to the forbidden palace." Master Ji whispered.

Just like Ning Huanzhen, although he is a disciple of the Ling Sect, because he entered the palace and became a female official, he also has a status in the Di Sect.

"Where is Tianmen!?" Li Mo couldn't help but ask.

The eight gates of Xuantian are headed by Heaven.

The Earth Gate specializes in royal matters and is used by the True Dragon, so wouldn’t the Tianmen’s duties be even more important?

"As for Tianmen..." Master Ji lowered his voice and approached Li Mo.

"Master... what you asked for has been delivered."

At this moment, a hoarse voice came from the side.

Li Mo looked up and saw a one-eyed middle-aged man walking over holding a brocade box.

As Master Ji's domestic servant and also the head of the dragon dragon pavilion, this one-eyed man named Leng Tong would be extremely vigilant every time he saw Li Mo coming over. He would look up and down and look for opportunities to stare at him, as if he was afraid of Li Mo.

He has no ill intentions towards their young master.

"Put it here."

Master Ji raised his hand to signal, Leng Tong respectfully placed the brocade box on the table, and then slowly took two steps back.

"What's this?"

"A nice gift for a girl."

As he spoke, Master Ji opened the brocade box, and a pile of crystal clear gems appeared in front of his eyes, shining like broken silver, and faintly glowing with seven colors under the sunlight.

"This is called [Love Stone]. It comes from the Fire Kingdom in the Western Region. It is said to be the hardest ore in the world..."

Master Ji picked up one at any time and sneered: "Love is stronger than gold... True love is as hard and eternal as this stone..."

"Those gang of profiteers are really capable of pulling off a horse."

When this kind of gemstone was introduced to the capital from the Western Regions, traveling merchants from the frontier fortress coated it with the brilliance of love in order to sell it.

Once such an eternal and hard gem is linked to a talented person and a beautiful woman, its price will skyrocket.

After all, His Majesty Shenzong once said that humans who fall in love are the stupidest creatures in the world.

Nowadays, this kind of "love stone" is very popular in the capital, the price changes every day, and it is more precious than gold.

Especially the rich and beautiful wives from wealthy families and upper-class nobles are even more attracted to them.

"The hardest..." Li Mo looked strange and thoughtful.

"Joke... When I wake up, which wheel is the hardest to get it?" Master Ji chuckled coldly and sneered.

Li Mo was stunned for a moment, then looked at the other person with a look of disdain.

"Come... grab a handful..." Master Ji unceremoniously pushed the brocade box in front of Li Mo.

"Grab a handful? Such a girl..." Li Mo discovered for the first time that Master Ji was so generous.

"It's so precious... This stuff is so expensive in the capital. In fact, there is a big mine in the Western Regions. It's all mined, and it's big enough for the common people to share three kilograms each... Over there, they use this stuff to build latrines."

Master Ji grabbed a handful of [Love Stone], rubbed it repeatedly in his hands, and couldn't help but sneer: "Take it to those traveling merchants in the frontier and ask them if you can recycle it at half price?"

"Half price? One Chengdu may not be recycled." Li Mo chuckled.

He was very familiar with this routine.

"Wonderful... you see things thoroughly." Master Ji couldn't help but praise, and immediately picked up a handful and stuffed it into Li Mo's hand like soybeans.

"It just so happens that those wealthy ladies love this stuff the most... their brains are filled with mercury."

An ambiguous smile appeared on Master Ji's face: "Whenever you meet your sweetheart, give one as a gift... You can even ask her to call her daddy."

"Dad!?" Li Mo's face turned red, and there was a voice in his head.

"It's so exciting."

"What?" Master Ji was stunned, as if he didn't hear clearly.

"nothing……"

Li Mo shook his head, cleared all the images and sounds in his mind, and stuffed the precious gem into his pocket.

"Although this thing is not valuable in the Western Regions, it is a good thing in the capital... One piece can last half a month at the [Big Prostitute]."

This gift from Master Ji is not an unimportant one. It is no exaggeration to say that with this one in Li Mo's hand, there is absolutely no problem in changing to an apartment in the capital.

"This can be regarded as a celebration for your official joining Xuantian Pavilion."

Master Ji stood up, smiled and patted Li Mo on the shoulder: "I'll prepare a big table for you tomorrow and have a good time."

"That's unnecessary. It's too high-profile...just discount it."

Li Mo shook his head, mainly because he was used to keeping a low profile and didn't like such a big fanfare.

"Sir, I am humbled by your humble position as King Chen, and I would like to see you."

At this moment, a familiar voice came from the stairs.

Li Mo turned around and saw this acquaintance standing there respectfully, waiting to be summoned.

In order to handle the case of the "Xishan Ghost King Sect", Hongmen specially allocated manpower to Li Mo. Perhaps in order to allow him to take advantage of it, he specially assigned this old acquaintance to his command.

Half a month ago, Li Mo wanted to call Chen Wangdu senior.

But now, Chen Wangdu has become his subordinate.

You know, it took Chen Wangdu more than thirty years to get to where he is today, and he stayed at the frontline for twenty years alone.

Such a resume can be regarded as a veteran qualification.

However, he does not have Li Mo's talent and strength, and his potential has long been exhausted. I am afraid that he can only stop here in this life, and it is almost impossible to rise further.

For someone like him who is lucky enough to survive for two years, retire and live in seclusion, and live a peaceful life for a few days, if he can die a good death, his ancestors' graves will be filled with smoke.

"Old Chen, come in."

Li Mo’s recruitment notice.

"You guys talk."

Master Ji stood up very wisely. He knew that Li Mo was no longer what he used to be. He was considered a member of the public family. Since the people from Xuantian Pavilion found this place, it must be for official business.

As he spoke, he went downstairs with cold eyes. When he passed by Chen Wangdu, the latter glanced at him intentionally or unintentionally.

"Sir..." Chen Wangdu walked over.

"Old Chen, we are all familiar with you, so there is no need to be so formal. Just call me by my name."

Li Mo was extremely satisfied with Hongmen's arrangements. After all, Chen Wangdu was an old acquaintance. From Longyuan Mansion, to Wangxuan City, until he entered the capital, this senior took good care of him.

Now that we are working together, Li Mo seems to be extremely comfortable and relaxed.
