Butler Zhou looked at the high-spirited Yang Lu and said nothing more. In the Jiuzhou cultivation world, mortals are just mortals no matter how powerful they are and cannot pose a threat to cultivators.
Any cultivator who officially steps into the Immortal Sect is protected by a protective aura all over his body. Even if he stands there and is beaten by mortals, it is impossible for a mortal to harm the cultivator at all. Although Li Qingning has not been practicing for a long time, he is by no means a mere mortal.
capable of harming.
Although he didn't know Yang Lu's background, he was sure that Yang Lu could never be an assassin, because there was no reason for mortals to assassinate cultivators in this world!
As for whether Yang Lu came to help the Qingning Chamber of Commerce develop or to destroy the Qingning Chamber of Commerce, Butler Zhou actually didn't care.
If he can help the Qingning Chamber of Commerce to prosper, the eldest lady will naturally be very happy; if he destroys the Qingning Chamber of Commerce, he can also make the eldest lady give up on the path of "cultivating merit" as soon as possible, which is not necessarily a bad thing.
.
What he was most worried about was that Yang Lu would carry Li Qingning's banner and ruin the reputation of the eldest lady of the Li family everywhere.
Since Yang Lu had made a promise, he would be the steward of Zhou. If Yang Lu dared to go back on his promise, it would not be too late for him to kill him. Even Li Qingning would not blame him for this.
After making up his mind, Butler Zhou concentrated on guarding Yang Lu.
Being able to become the servant of Li Qingyang and Li Qingning, Butler Zhou is obviously not an ordinary cultivator.
In the world of cultivation, there is a unique and dangerous place called [Outside the battlefield], which is the legendary intersection of the demon world and the world of cultivation. Killing people in the outside battlefield will not only not lose merit, but will increase merit. It can be said that cultivators kill people and seize treasures.
The ultimate shortcut to change your destiny.
However, due to the extremely high death rate in foreign battlefields, almost all cultivators have changed their expressions upon hearing this.
When he was young, Butler Zhou took the initiative to enter foreign battlefields three times and successfully escaped unscathed. He has extremely rich practical experience.
But it is a pity that due to his poor spiritual root qualifications, Butler Zhou was ultimately unable to change his destiny through the battlefield outside the territory.
After realizing that there was no hope for him to make a breakthrough in this life, he accepted Li Qingyang's recruitment and became the chief steward of the Li Qingyang family. While responsible for the family's daily chores, he also assumed the responsibility of bodyguard, which he did for decades.
After Li Qingyang took over as the president of Lingshi Reserve Bank, his security work was completely taken over by the Wuliang Sword Sect. Butler Zhou took charge of Li Qingning's daily security work.
As a senior expert in the field of security, Butler Zhou seemed to be just following Yang Lu quietly, but he had secretly activated a variety of different reconnaissance techniques. Not to mention ordinary people, most cultivators
Can't hide it from his fiery eyes!
With the help of magical guidance, Butler Zhou soon noticed that there seemed to be two roebuck-headed guys following him in the distance. He could even hear the conversation between the two thieves clearly from a distance of dozens of meters.
"Boss, I just saw that the female newsboy named Murong followed this man into the Qingning Chamber of Commerce."
"But why is this businessman the only one who came out? Where did the newsgirl go?"
"Uh... I guess he stayed with the Qingning Chamber of Commerce."
"Fart! Why does the Qingning Chamber of Commerce keep a newsboy? Do you want to treat the newsboy to dinner?"
"But I could see clearly that when the two of them walked in, the newsboy disappeared and an old man came out instead."
"The Qingning Chamber of Commerce only has such a gate, can the newsboy still fly?"
"How about we teach this businessman a lesson for Mr. Zhu!"
"What are you thinking? The most important thing in Haiya City is commercial trade. If you beat foreign merchants in broad daylight, isn't this causing trouble for City Lord Jiang? Mr. Zhu specially ordered that this time he is going to teach the newspaper girl a lesson. I think he is most likely to be.
I’ve fallen in love with that little girl!”
"Hiss... I didn't see it! Mr. Zhu is usually so polite, but he actually wants to use force on such an half-grown girl?"
"As the saying goes, a wife is not as good as a concubine, a concubine is not as good as stealing, and stealing is not as good as not being able to steal. I saw how Mr. Zhu gritted his teeth when he mentioned this newsgirl. I'm afraid he was humiliated instead of trying to force her."
"Then let's train her to be honest later, and then send her to Mr. Zhu!"
"You know nothing! What these rich kids like most is to conquer those chaste and fierce women. All we need to do is knock her out with a sap and then send her to the Zhu Family Chamber of Commerce. Mr. Zhu can do it himself and train her slowly."
"The boss is still wise!"
"Useless thing! Now that everyone has lost track of me, is there any use in flattering me?"
After hearing this, Butler Zhou no longer planned to listen any more.
He still didn't understand why Li Qingning angrily called the young master of the Zhu family a "shameless person" after meeting Yang Lu. Now that he heard the conversation between the two street gangsters, he felt that the "shameless person" was a bit flattering to Young Master Zhu.
.
This beast not only doesn't let go of female newsboys who are fifteen or sixteen years old, but also likes to play heavy games of torture and humiliation. He is simply a fighter among scum!
Butler Zhou already had a good impression of Murong, but when he heard two street gangsters speaking rudely to Murong, he had already written all the accounts on Zhu Ziming's head. While he was following Yang Lu step by step, his left hand
Secretly he created an immortal secret.
A faint red light flashed past, and then, two shrill screams sounded from behind Yang Lu.
"It hurts so much, my leg seems to be broken!"
"Who! Who is attacking me?"
Yang Lu heard the strange movement and quickly turned his head to look. Only two men in Tsing Yi rolled to the ground without any image, wailing. This made him frown: "Steward Zhou, what happened just now?"
Butler Zhou chuckled: "It seems that two passers-by accidentally tripped and broke their legs. It's not a big deal!"
How come two perfectly fine people suddenly fell and broke their bones?
Although Yang Lu had some doubts in his heart, he was not a nosy person. Since Butler Zhou said nothing happened, he just pretended that nothing happened. Anyway, even if the sky fell, there would still be a cultivator named Butler Zhou to hold him up.
He feels safe now!
After Yang Lu turned around as if nothing had happened, Butler Zhou sighed softly, his expression a little complicated.
For a cultivator to attack mortals maliciously, it is definitely an act that undermines merit. The reason why he took action against these two ruffians was definitely not because of his deep feelings for Murong.
The real reason is simple:
He doesn't have much life left!
Heavenly merit can accelerate a cultivator's progress in cultivation without any side effects. It can be called the most precious cultivation resource in the world of cultivation. However, for elderly monks like Butler Zhou who have no hope of breakthrough, the marginal utility of merit is infinitely close to zero.
As long as he doesn't go on a killing spree, causing too much loss of merit and falling into the devil's path, teaching a few mortals a lesson will have no real consequences.
It is precisely because he is nearing the end of his life and has less scruples when taking action that he was personally selected by Li Qingyang to become Li Qingning's personal butler.
Although it feels very satisfying to shoot whoever is unhappy, for cultivators pursuing the path of immortality, it is also an out-and-out tragedy to be reduced to this situation: after seeing the wider world,
Who wants to fight with ants?
Now he only hopes that Li Qingning, whom he brought up since childhood, can go further on the Avenue of Immortality than he does.
