Li Xiang frowned slightly. Shali Fei was a first-rate master. Even if he was old and frail, he could not be underestimated. Especially since he was the leader of a gang and his sudden disappearance was really strange.
But this is good news for him.
Without the suppression of the old guy, the internal forces of the Qingzhu Gang will be reshuffled, and his interests can be returned to his hands. He can continue to collect items with negative effects, develop steadily, and improve his strength.
Everything can go as he wishes and he can live a stable and peaceful life.
However, nine times out of ten things are not going as he wants in the world. Will things really go as smoothly as he thinks?
…
On December 1, Sha Lifei, the old leader of the Qingzhu Gang, and his son disappeared. The entire Qingzhu Gang fell into a leaderless state. At this critical moment, Chi Li, the former deputy gang leader, stepped forward to take over the position of gang leader and regain power. He decided to hold a plenary meeting in the near future.
High Council.
On the same day, the government began to intervene in the security management of Beibo City and comprehensively cracked down on various non-imperial forces. For a time, pickpockets, gangs and other various forces were in danger. After being caught and killed a few so-called big shots, they all calmed down a lot.
.
Just when everything was on track, Li Xiang's disciple Song Qing brought him good news.
In the small courtyard.
"Master, please come with me. This Xiangyuan Party is the most upscale party in the city. The people attending are all ladies and young talents from major families. We will definitely find you.
Suitable object."
Song Qing's face was full of seriousness. He really thought about his teacher. Although Li Xiang was his master, the age difference between the two was not much different. Li Xiang, who was almost eighteen years old, was already considered a senior in an era when the average age of marriage was fifteen.
It's relatively late.
But this big brother is lucky, he doesn’t even have a favorite goal.
So he became a little anxious, and used the connections he had to get a pass for the teacher to those in the upper echelons of society.
Although Big Brother wants money but has no money, and his appearance can only be described as average, he is the current leader of the Qingzhu Gang after all. He is not too old and has potential. It is not a bad idea to be appreciated by those wealthy ladies.
"I've already said it, but I haven't thought about it yet. Why don't you just listen?"
Li Xiang is also a little helpless. He doesn't like parties, blind dates and the like at all. In today's troubled times, only enough strength can ensure the safety of himself and those around him.
In his opinion, nothing is more important than strength.
There are unattainable gods and Buddhas outside, and strong men like Su Xin inside. Now, he is thinking about how to become stronger all the time. How can he have the time to think about those complicated things?
It's just that the person who spoke was the only disciple after all. Seeing the sincerity on his face, he sighed and said: "Well, if it must be like this, then I will let you go, but I have agreed in advance that it will only be this once.
You are not allowed to mention this matter again in the future."
In fact, in his previous life, most of the contemporary Chinese people who got married were in their twenties, and some were even in their thirties. It was too rare for people like him to talk about marriage at such an age.
This is the impact of different customs.
"Okay." Song Qing was overjoyed. It was indeed not easy for his master to agree this time. He knew that this master who was both a teacher and a brother liked to practice martial arts. He was usually worried about gang affairs and had no intention of thinking about other things.
It was not easy to get him to agree this time. After leaving the small courtyard, he quickly came to a restaurant. At this moment, there were already two girls waiting in the building.
"How about it?"
Zhang Xingxi was the first to take the lead and asked anxiously.
"It's done, Master has agreed."
Song Qing shook hands excitedly, and by the way, she secretly glanced at Li Ying, who had her head lowered and didn't know what she was thinking. As he became apprentice to Li Xiang, she became much closer to him. Although the relationship has not been established yet, the two have already
Can be considered a friend.
This is a great progress.
After getting along day and night, he felt that the two of them still had a good chance of making progress.
"That's great." Zhang Xingxi smiled, her big eyes curved into a crescent shape.
"What are you happy about?"
Seeing her happiness, Song Qing was a little puzzled. This sarcastic girl had been extremely enthusiastic ever since she knew that he wanted to find a wife for his master.
Especially when it comes to requesting quotas for the Xiangyuan Club, if it weren't for this guy's efforts, he alone might not be able to get the extra quota.
Although his father is a well-known wealthy businessman in Beibo City, his influence in the city is really not as good as the children of these aristocratic families.
"You care about me?" Zhang Xingxi snorted coldly and turned away, not wanting to deal with this nigger.
"Hey, hey, you two, don't be like this..."
Li Ying squinted and smiled beside her, but she really enjoyed this quiet feeling of time.
Compared with the days when she and her brother depended on each other and had to eat a few grains of rice every day, everything now can be considered alive.
After chatting with her friends for a while, she got up and said goodbye.
Walking on the street, there were only a few pedestrians on the side of the road. There were only a few vendors setting up stalls. Only one or two could be seen occasionally, and the business looked very bleak.
She sympathized with this but took no action. As she came into contact with more people and read more books, she was no longer the useless girl who could only cry.
She learned to think independently and be considerate of others. She also knew that the seemingly peaceful life she had now was earned by her brother's blood and sweat. Therefore, she cherished the hard-won life extremely.
Bang.
While walking, a hurried figure suddenly bumped into her, knocking her to the ground and making her scream in pain.
"Ahem."
The person who bumped into Li Ying was a man with a ragged beard and unkempt hair. A little girl among the men was knocked down by him. After being stunned for a moment, she rolled her eyes and fainted to the ground.
"Uncle, hey, uncle, wake up..." Li Ying was startled, pressed her shoulders with both hands, and shook her violently.
But after shaking for a while, there was still no response from the other party.
After thinking about it, she gritted her teeth and started to carry him on her back, heading home. Due to her brother's deliberate training, although she did not practice martial arts, her physical strength was far superior to that of children of the same age. Therefore, when she carried the man on her back,
Although it was difficult, I still persevered.
At the corner before returning to the small courtyard, the man lying on Li Ying suddenly woke up and said with difficulty: "Wait, don't take me to a crowded place, please."
If he goes to a crowded place, his identity is likely to be found by people from the Qitian Sect. Just in case, it is better to find a place where no one is around.
"this……"
Li Ying was a little hesitant. After all, this person was just a stranger to her. What if she had any evil intentions?
With this thought in her mind, when she saw the pleading eyes of the other party, her heart softened and she turned towards an abandoned no-man's land. There was a secret base she discovered while playing with her friends.
There are very few people there.
More importantly, in order to prepare for famine, she hid a lot of food and daily necessities there, planning to have a retreat when there was no way out in the future.
Now it's being used on this stranger.
After bringing him to the secret base, which was simply an abandoned, short, neglected and remote stone house, she began to take good care of it.
First, I put a hot towel on his forehead, and then he prepared food and waited nearby. He fanned him from time to time to keep him warm. This was the case for the next few days. During this period, the other person also woke up, but most of them were in bad condition and did not have any symptoms.
After a while he fell into deep sleep again.
Until three days later.
"Thank you Ying'er. If it weren't for you, I'm afraid I would have been doomed this time."
The sloppy man Ye Pingsheng sighed, and suddenly said seriously: "After getting along with you these days, I found that you are kind-hearted, have a good foundation, and have a life-saving grace for me. You are very suitable for practicing the internal skills of our sect, Xuantian Sheng
Jue', I wonder what you think?"
These words were spoken from the bottom of his heart. Although he did want to use this little girl to find a temporary place to establish himself at first, the other party's sincerity moved him. More importantly, after getting along with each other these days, he found that this little girl had nothing to do with their Qitian Sect.
The legendary exercises are very suitable, and the bones are extremely good.
It was only under a combination of various conditions that I decided to take on a disciple.
"Disciple Li Ying, pay homage to Master."
Hearing this, Li Ying bowed her head happily. Although she was young, she was not stupid.
After getting along with each other for the past few days, as well as Ye Pingsheng's extraordinary skills displayed intentionally or unintentionally, it was proved that this person was by no means an ordinary person, but a martial arts senior with extremely strong martial arts.
If she can become a disciple of this person, she can also embark on a journey of martial arts, and maybe she can help her brother in the future.
As for why he doesn't let his brother teach him martial arts in person? It's all because Li Xiang doesn't want his sister to live in fear. He thinks that as long as he is strong enough, he can protect everything, and his family can just enjoy life with peace of mind.
Under the protection of such a near-deformity, even if she wanted to learn martial arts, it would be impossible.
"Okay, okay!"
Ye Pingsheng laughed three times, showing that he was in a happy mood at the moment. He did not say empty words, he took out a short sword from his sleeve, handed it out and said: "Although this sword is not a magic weapon, it is made of fine steel that has been used for many times."
Made in Japan, it can cut iron like clay and be indestructible. Consider it a greeting gift from my master."
This sword itself was a weapon he carried with him to fight enemies, but at this time, he gave it to his apprentice.
"Thank you, Master."
Li Ying took over the dagger and was confused for a moment. No matter whether she was a boy or a girl, she had always dreamed of traveling to the end of the world with a sword.
Even she was no exception. She got such a sharp weapon for the first time in her life, and she felt unbearable excitement in her heart.
…
On the other side, Li Xiang received a message from the headquarters. According to the order from Chi Li, the current and only gang leader, he was asked to go to the Qingzhu Gang to participate in the high-level meeting within three days. If he failed to do so, he would be responsible for the consequences.
His attitude was very rude, and it can be imagined that the new gang leader's temper was not much better, and he was probably sharpening his knives and thinking about how to deal with him.
In the past, he might have thought of finding an excuse to refuse, but now that he had a huge amount of force, Li Xiang did not do that. He decided to go and see for himself. If Chi Li knew better, he would not come to trouble him.
Never mind.
If the other party is forceful, don't blame him for being ruthless.
To be honest, a second-rate expert, a piece of trash who can't even reach the limit, is nothing to him. This chapter has been completed!
