Liu Lang was completely stunned. He felt that this young man seemed to have changed. Although he was almost the same age as himself, he seemed to be calm, wise, and unfathomable. He had originally thought of a way to say it, but in the end he couldn't use it.
The other party has everything in his hands, and it won't be okay if he doesn't do it.
"I advise you to think less about what you have and what you don't have. I won't hold you accountable for what you have done, and I will let you keep things you shouldn't possess. This is the most benevolent and righteous way of meeting someone by chance. If you don't even want to give me an explanation.
, that’s really looking down on people, so don’t blame me for not leaving any room.”
Meng Yan looked at his fingers and said, "I know a few tricks about taking out people's brains and reading their memories directly. Do you want to give it a try?"
This is not a lie. According to the records in the collection, Meng Yan knew that there was such a magic in the world, but he only knew about it. Now that he said it, it was completely to scare the other party, and Liu Lang did fall for it.
"Our Liujiazhuang is a local prominent and wealthy family. It is located at the junction of Qianxue Peak, Cangbing Valley, and the Kumu Ancient Sect. We pay safety funds to the three sects at the same time every year. Although the burden is heavier, our life is not bad."
"...Is your Liujiazhuang engaged in farming or business?"
"The family runs a silk and spice business..."
"Is that just getting by? It should be extremely rich, right?"
Meng Yan rubbed his chin. He was not confused by this statement. The book he read allowed him to understand the workings of the world. Basically, since the collapse of the Cangqiong Empire, there has never been a regime that unified the world. The people relied on the powerful
The sect makes a living, and taxes are paid to nearby sects.
At first glance, this sounds similar to the protection fees collected by ** Shanzhai. The money is used to buy peace. If it is an ordinary farmer, located at the intersection of several gangs, and has to pay several peace funds at the same time, it would have been crushed to death.
, but if you are doing business, it is different. The merchant's Ping An Gold is much higher, but it also includes trade rights. After paying the Ping An Gold, you can go to the place to do business, open a shop, and trade unique local specialties. The Liu family is doing business at the same time.
In the three places, as long as your skills are not too bad, you will definitely make a lot of money early. However, if you make too much, it will inevitably make people jealous, and you are at the intersection of several forces. If the relationship is not handled well, a bowl of water will not be equal.
If it causes disputes among families, there is a possibility that they will be united to destroy the family. It can be said to be a portrayal of high risk and high profit.
"Something happened to my family a few days ago. A group of local bandits came to our door, robbed our gold and silver, burned our manor, and killed my family. Only my sister and I escaped..."
Liu Lang gritted his teeth as he spoke, remembering the hatred of annihilating his family, he clenched his fists tightly, wishing to kill all his enemies immediately, but Meng Yan listened to this, his expression was unusually cold, and he just said: "The one who killed your family is that Bones guy.
help?"
"The Bone Heroes Gang! I will never forget this name in my life."
Liu Lang said with deep hatred, but Meng Yan took off his shoes and threw them on his head, "You are talking nonsense! Liu, do you think I am an idiot or a bumpkin?"
"Everything I said is true. If you don't believe it, you can just..."
"It's okay for you, mother! That Bone Heroes Gang, you can tell it's a messy little sect at a glance. Your Liu family has paid three places' peace money, but no one will protect your family? Can't afford to hire experts? A small gang can easily do that
If I killed you all, how would you survive today?"
Meng Yan said: "Don't think that I, who came from the countryside, don't know that when the big sect wants to do something shady, they won't do it themselves. Instead, they like to find some small gangs to come out as thugs and hide their eyes from others... Your family has got something that it doesn't deserve.
Something? Or did you know something you shouldn’t know?”
With this sentence, Liu Lang turned pale and looked at Meng Yan with an extremely frightened expression, as if he had seen a ghost. After a long while, he sighed and said: "You are right, I have an uncle who paid homage to the Tibetan Soldier Valley in his early years.
, he rose to the rank of hall master through meritorious service, and the family has relied on him a lot over the years. He suddenly came back a month ago, and after a long secret talk with my father, he left in a hurry. From that day on, my father asked us to be careful, saying that there might be a big disaster.
As expected, not long after, someone came to my door to burn, kill, and destroy my Liujiazhuang..."
"Sure, it seems like you have done what you shouldn't know and shouldn't get. So, where are the things now?" Meng Yan said: "Don't say you don't know, people from the Bone Hero Gang
I'm still looking for you. I fought with them for you. If the things weren't with you, they wouldn't come looking for you. I believe you wouldn't be stupid enough to take the things with you, but... you have nothing.
What I know, do you think I believe it or not?”
Liu Lang kept his mouth shut and said nothing. His whole family had died because of this. This matter was of great importance. It might even be the only hope for revenge. Even if he was tortured, he would rather die than say anything. Meng Yan looked at Liu Lang's expression and guessed who he was.
With the thought in mind, he waved his hand and said: "Forget it, you can keep things for yourself, I'm not interested in knowing. After all, the biggest difference between you and me is that I won't be stupid enough to provoke waves that exceed my load capacity, and neither will you."
Don't misunderstand what I want from you. As long as you promise me one thing, your debt and mine will be cleared. From now on, you will be your official disciple and I will be my handyman. The road will be open to the sky, and each will go his own way."
"What do you want me to do? I actually brought you some secrets today. They are exercises that are not accessible to the servant class. As long as you practice well, it will only be a matter of time before you become a regular practitioner."
"Save it, I don't care about those things. What I want you to promise me is..." Meng Yan said: "Before Mei Ying comes back, no matter who asks you, you must insist that the talisman was given to you by Mei Ying.
, you are Mei Ying’s personal disciple outside, do you know?”
"Wha, what? They really think that I am the disciple of Xuemei God of War, but you... how could you..."
"How could it be? Damn it, I felt that that woman Mei Ying had no good intentions. She said she would let me be a guest and be well-supported, but she actually dug a hole for me to jump into. If I really brought the token in, it would be all for nothing now.
She is one step shorter than her."
Liu Lang was once again shocked by these words. Although he had long thought that this person and Fairy Meiying might be acquainted, he never expected that when talking about Meiying, the young man's tone would be so disrespectful, as if they were equals. This is really
It's incredible.
"What are you doing again? What's that look in your eyes? Do you think I'm bragging?" Meng Yan suddenly became playful and told Liu Lang what he originally wanted to say to those handymen, "What kind of goddess do you think?
Fairy's, it's nothing to me. When that Mei Ying was with me before, she would look at my face all day long and never object to anything I said; and that Lan Bingmei... Actually
My relationship with her is not very good. I just touch her breasts occasionally. The size is normal and not very big. Alas, she can still be considered a fairy..."
Liu Lang was stunned and opened his mouth. These words were completely beyond the scope of his rationality. If it was a simple judgment, he would call it nonsense, because there is no way such a thing could happen, but Meng Yan said it with full confidence.
There was an aura in his words that Liu Lang couldn't help but believe. What's even more amazing is that after Meng Yan stepped in and said this, his expression changed from arrogant to calm and said: "You can go out and tell people casually about the above. It doesn't matter if you don't keep it secret.
No one would believe it anyway…”
If it seems true or false, it makes the willow waves fall into a fog. I don't know what the situation is. The only way to avoid being led by the other party seems to be to turn around and leave.
"... I'm sorry." Liu Lang stood up and was about to leave, but Liu Lang still didn't forget the purpose of his trip, "I owe you a favor for using your token, but I want to avenge my family and seek justice. This opportunity to worship Qian Xuefeng is not for me.
I’m too important, even if I’m sorry for you, I’ll do it once, and later on... I’ll definitely return the favor to you.”
"You're welcome. Just remember to hold on to that thing. No matter who asks, it was Meiying who gave you the token to let you in. As long as you do this, you won't owe me anything.
, but... whether it is an opportunity or a crisis depends on your own luck. I think this may not be the kind of good opportunity you understand..."
Having said that, the two parties parted ways. Not a single copy of the secret manuals brought by Liu Lang was left behind. Meng Yan let him take them all away because he didn't want him to get into any trouble. After all, a formal disciple who had just arrived secretly secretly took the secret manuals away.
It is a serious crime to give it to a servant in the sect. Even if it is just some basic introductory skills, it is not something he can just pass on.
"...This kid is really a weirdo."
Meng Yan murmured: "You have a stubborn temper. At this time, you can still maintain your dignity and pride. This kind of young master is rare. Although he seems ready to risk everything for revenge, he probably can't do it yet.
, otherwise I would have come to silence you today... He did not do this, which means that his conscience and luck are both good."
There is a reason for such a sigh. If Liu Lang had tried to silence him today, Meng Yan would have made it impossible for him to come back. The fact that he didn't do this means that he was very lucky.
"But why did he regard Qian Xuefeng as an opportunity? This is very strange. Although there are many shady things behind his being exterminated, if he wants to increase his strength and avenge his family, there should be a better choice, right? Qian Xuefeng is a female sect.
, what can a man learn by coming here? Instead of coming here to become a disciple, it would be better to go to other sects. I really don’t know why he chose this place?"
Meng Yan said casually, not expecting any answers, but Wu Chou deep in his mind had already taken the initiative to calculate and analyze various possibilities. Wu Chou's calculation ability was unparalleled in the world, but when dealing with things without clear data, it was difficult to
Not the director, after running for a while, only a few possible options were listed. Meng Yan briefly read them over and paid attention to one of the possibilities.
"...The thing in his hand that he didn't deserve is related to Qian Xuefeng. It can be useful only if he comes here? Is it true?"
