"Disciple Li Zhengzhou, pay homage to Master!" Li Zhengzhou not only did not get up, but kowtowed with a bang.
At this time, not only Lin Hai, but also Zhang Yang and Zhang Xueer were stunned, with their mouths wide open and their faces filled with disbelief.
"Wait, wait a minute." Lin Hai waved his hand quickly, "Master? What master?"
Li Zhengzhou's expression suddenly changed, and then he turned pale.
"Master, don't you recognize me?" Li Zhengzhou's voice trembled, as if he had been hit hard.
"It's not a matter of admitting it or not. You've confused me. Oh, get up first and talk later." Lin Hai quickly stretched out his hand to pull Li Zhengzhou up.
"What on earth is going on? Why did I become your master?" Lin Hai asked with a puzzled look on his face.
"Master, my master didn't tell you?" Li Zhengzhou was startled, and his face suddenly showed a strong disappointment.
"I don't even know who your master is." Lin Hai rolled his eyes angrily.
"Oh, that's it." Li Zhengzhou let out a sigh of relief.
"I was scared to death. I thought you weren't going to recognize me."
Li Zhengzhou quickly poured a glass of wine for Lin Hai and placed it respectfully in front of Lin Hai.
"Master, Master, Master, let's talk while eating." Li Zhengzhou greeted Zhang Yang and Zhang Xueer again.
puff!
Lin Hai almost burst into tears when he heard Li Zhengzhou's name.
Turning his head to look at Zhang Xueer, he saw Zhang Xueer blushing with embarrassment, biting her lips and lowering her head.
Zhang Yang, on the other hand, seemed extremely excited when he heard the name Li Zhengzhou.
"Eat, eat." Lin Hai didn't bother to explain. No one believed his explanation anyway. He happened to be hungry too, so he had to eat first before talking.
"Master, I am the registered disciple of Master Lian Peng." After eating a few mouthfuls of food, Li Zhengzhou spoke.
"Lian Peng's disciple?" Lin Hai was stunned. Lian Peng didn't mention it to him on the phone, he just said he was looking for a friend.
As if he guessed what Lin Hai was thinking, Li Zhengzhou couldn't help but smile bitterly.
"Master must be wondering why my master didn't say that I was his disciple, right?"
"Your master really didn't say that." Lin Hai nodded.
"Alas." Lian Peng sighed softly.
"Master and I met because of a business matter..." Li Zhengzhou said in detail, recounting the process of his acquaintance with Lian Peng.
Only then did Lin Hai realize that Lian Peng was a very powerful figure in the entire Penglai.
Starting from scratch, he led a group of brothers to establish a business in Penglai City and became the largest private entrepreneur in Penglai City.
Of course, in everyone's struggle, there are inevitable things from the dark side.
Ten years ago, there was a project in Kelan County with an investment of over one billion yuan. This was a huge project for a county or even a city.
After a series of competitions, in the end only Lian Peng, the dragon across the river, and Li Zhengzhou, the local snake, were left.
Both of them are almost at the top, so naturally neither of them wants to give in.
At their current status, the overt competition was meaningless, and the two finally agreed to determine the ownership of the project in Taicang Mountain in the north of Kelan County.
On the day of the appointment, Li Zhengzhou and hundreds of brothers were waiting there early, holding machetes and sticks.
Lian Peng also appeared at Taicang Mountain on time, but what shocked Li Zhengzhou was that Lian Peng did not bring any soldiers.
A thin figure, a steel knife!
Lian Peng walked slowly like this.
Go to the meeting alone!
While Li Zhengzhou admired Lian Peng's courage, he was also angered by his arrogance.
With an order, hundreds of people swarmed forward, preparing to destroy Lian Peng here.
However, a shocking scene occurred.
Lian Peng was seen holding a steel knife in his hand, rushing into the crowd of Li Zhengzhou like a tiger descending from the mountain.
In just ten minutes, more than a hundred people brought by Li Zhengzhou were all chopped down to the ground by Lian Peng.
The steel knife in Lian Peng's hand was also placed on Li Zhengzhou's neck.
Li Zhengzhou was shocked when he saw that hundreds of brothers who had gone through great storms and hundreds of battles with him were all knocked down by Lian Peng alone.
He was so shocked that he didn't even notice that the steel knife was placed on his neck.
At this moment, Lian Peng just said three words, "You lose", and turned around to leave.
This hugely expensive engineering project naturally fell into Lian Peng's hands.
Li Zhengzhou had nothing to say about this, but the scene of Lian Peng defeating hundreds of enemies single-handedly has been lingering in Li Zhengzhou's mind ever since, and he can't get rid of it no matter what.
Li Zhengzhou's mood also changed from the initial shock to fascination.
Finally one day, Li Zhengzhou came to Lian Peng, knelt down directly in front of Lian Peng, and wanted to worship Lian Peng as his teacher.
Lian Peng refused without hesitation.
The reason is very simple. My master has asked me that I can pass down kung fu to my children, but I cannot accept disciples with foreign surnames.
He himself was accepted as a disciple by Li Wenyuan as an exception because his ancestors had some connections with Li Wenyuan's family, so he naturally understood the Li family's rules for accepting disciples.
Unexpectedly, this Li Zhengzhou was also a man who never looked back even if he hit the wall. When Lian Peng refused, he actually rented a house opposite Lian Peng's house and refused to leave.
From then on, Li Zhengzhou stopped doing anything and just followed Lian Peng every day. He stayed as his disciple for more than a year and Lian Peng could not drive him away no matter how hard he tried.
As time passed, Lian Peng became too lazy to rush. Since he wouldn't agree to it anyway, he just let him go.
However, as the contact lasted longer and longer, Lian Peng suddenly discovered that Li Zhengzhou, a very upright and forthright man, a well-known man, was actually very at odds with him.
After the two of them got drunk once, Lian Peng burst into tears and asked Lian Peng again to accept him as his disciple.
This time, Lian Peng finally couldn't bear it any longer. Taking advantage of his drinking power, he called Li Wenyuan and explained the situation.
Li Wenyuan was stunned for a long time, and then sighed. He seemed to be moved by Li Zhengzhou's persistence, and told Lian Peng that he could accept Li Zhengzhou as a registered disciple and teach the Li family's martial arts.
When Lian Peng told Li Zhengzhou the news, Li Zhengzhou was so excited that he couldn't sleep for several days and nights.
Although he is only a registered disciple, he has finally made a step forward. As long as he performs well, he might be able to be truly accepted into the family.
From then on, Li Zhengzhou studied martial arts with Lian Peng for another five years. He finally learned all the skills of Lian Peng and reached the middle stage of Xiantian.
After completing his career, Li Zhengzhou returned to Kelan County with excitement and joy.
But when he got home and opened the door, Li Zhengzhou was stunned on the spot.
I saw the woman I loved most, naked and lying on my bed with my most trusted brother.
Without saying a word, Li Zhengzhou hacked the adulterer and adulterous couple to death on the spot.
Then, Li Zhengzhou soon discovered that the foundation he had worked so hard to build had already changed hands and was acquired by an old rival of his.
What makes Li Zhengzhou even more distressed is that all his former brothers betrayed him, either under coercion or inducement by his old rivals.
Li Zhengzhou was filled with anger and decided to fight his old rival alone at Taicang Mountain.
An old rival brought a team of hundreds of people to the meeting arrogantly, preparing to kill Li Zhengzhou.
Unexpectedly, Li Zhengzhou is no longer what he used to be. With one man and one sword, he killed hundreds of people without leaving a single piece of armor behind, and even killed his old opponent directly with the sword.
This battle shocked the entire Penglai City, and Li Zhengzhou's name spread throughout the streets overnight.
Lian Peng also heard about this incident in the city and quickly used all his connections to get Li Zhengzhou to defend himself and avoid punishment.
Li Zhengzhou originally thought that he was finished, but he did not expect such a result. For a moment, he felt even more grateful to Lian Peng, his master.
Fortunately, Li Zhengzhou has a straightforward personality. After experiencing the betrayal of his brother and lover, instead of being disheartened, he became more motivated. With the help of Lian Peng, he reached the top again within a year and became an important figure in Kelan County.
figure.
But after he became famous, the only thing that made Li Zhengzhou regretful was that Lian Peng never accepted him as a formal disciple, and he was not even allowed to be called his master, and was only addressed by his first name.
Until today, Lian Peng suddenly called Li Zhengzhou and told him that the master was here and asked him to take good care of him.
However, Lian Peng repeatedly told him to only address Lin Hai as Mr. Lin, and not to mention the matter of master.
Li Zhengzhou promised well, but he felt that this might be the best time for Lian Peng to officially accept him as his disciple.
Therefore, as soon as he entered the private room, Li Zhengzhou knelt down in front of Lin Hai.
"Master, please, please let Master Lian Peng accept me as his disciple." Li Zhengzhou suddenly offered Lin Hai three glasses of wine and looked at Lin Hai eagerly, his face full of expectation.
