Oil lamps and candles filled the room with light, illuminating the room like daylight.
Qian Xiaojiu, dragging her bright red robe, sat by the window, stretched out her short hands, held up the oil paper window, and stared down at the street.
Looking at the back of his brother Changsheng, who had been disappearing into the darkness, Qian Xiaojiu slowly withdrew his gaze.
He looked at a hunchbacked old man sitting on the table, eating leftovers.
The old man's face is full of wrinkles, deep wrinkles, like tree bark, and his sallow complexion shows a sad look. There is a pipe on the table, with smoke rising from it.
He was eating like a beggar, like a beggar who had never eaten anything before. There was no fuss about the leftovers on the table, and they were quickly cleaned up.
Finally, he picked up the plate, drank the fish soup, and gently licked his lips with his long and narrow tongue. Then he put down the plate, showing a relieved look.
"This dish tastes as good as leftover rice."
"Even if I follow Mr. Qian, I still have a good relationship."
Qian Xiaojiu sat down, looked at the old housekeeper in front of him and said, "Master Yao, are you back?"
"It seems that King Wuxiang has left the capital?"
Yao Shaosi picked up the pipe, took a strong puff, puffed out the smoke, and said calmly: "It is ever-changing, so it is called Wuxiang."
"The strength of the Wuxiang King is just that. There are countless people on the Earth Ranking who can crush him to death with both hands, but the Wuxiang King is ranked ninth on the Earth Ranking."
"The only one who, as a great master, stands alongside other supreme masters."
"It's because no one knows whether King Wuxiang is male or female, tall or short, and who is his true identity?"
"The worst thing that can happen if you offend King Wuxiang is that you will never have peace from now on. You will never be able to trust anyone except yourself."
"Even if it's your own flesh and blood, your first wife who has been sleeping with you for decades, or your parents who gave birth to you... they could all be the King of No-Phase."
"I saw King Wuxiang leaving the capital of God, but was it true? Or was it false?"
"Who knows?"
Qian Xiaojiu looked solemn and spoke solemnly: "I don't believe that King Wuxiang will leave the city of God. This time Ye Wumian came to the city of God to complete the destiny ceremony. Although it makes sense, it still feels wrong in my heart."
"Jinfeng Yeyu Tower is a killer organization. People like King Wuxiang have already lost their family ties and disowned their relatives. They are not the kind of people who dare to take risks for the sake of their disciples."
Yao Shaosi smoked his cigarette and spoke slowly: "Don't worry about King Wuxiang. There are so many things in the world that you can't figure out. If you try to figure them all out, you won't be able to survive."
"Where is the water in the city of God deep?"
"Leave it to them. The Great Zhou Dynasty has only been established for more than 200 years. According to the calculations of the previous dynasty, there are still more than 200 years of national destiny, and it will never be defeated."
"But Xiaojiu, you forgot one thing."
"Thousands of people are here, but they sent a special person to let you, Xiaojiu, be the middleman. I want to ease Dou Changsheng's relationship and prevent Dou Changsheng from resenting the destiny ceremony."
"You're just taking money and not doing anything. You're breaking the rules."
Qian Xiaojiu shook his head and said:
"They are destined to be unable to coexist. I can tell at a glance that the apology offered by thousands of people will not be accepted by Brother Changsheng."
"Moreover, these thousands of people went there not sincerely to apologize, but because they had other intentions and wanted to create a rift."
"Everyone knows that tens of thousands of people are at odds with Zhao Wudu, and the situation has become like fire and water."
"But that's not the most important thing."
"What's really important is that thousands of people are getting older, but Brother Changsheng is young."
"Thousands of people will only be a grandmaster in the future, and Brother Changsheng has unlimited potential in the future. For a wealthy family like ours, it is natural that he will bully the old but not the young."
Yao Shaosi became interested and preached enthusiastically: "Your theory is quite novel. It's the other way around."
"I have always bullied the young, not the old."
"After all, the old guys have grown up, hold great power, and hold important positions."
"Genius without growth is worthless."
Qian Xiaojiu smiled and explained: "Master Yao is talking about ordinary families. What they need is the present, but we are different."
"One more grandmaster and one less grandmaster will not have a big impact."
"Those old guys will still be the same after ten or twenty years."
"But young people are different. Twenty years is enough for them to rise up, step into the mountains and rivers, and become famous all over the world."
"But if there is one more great master, it will be different."
"As long as we cast a wide net, as long as one person grows up and forms a good relationship, the future will be rewarded thousands of times."
Qian Xiaojiu showed a proud look and said confidently: "This time I am optimistic about Brother Changsheng. Of course, it is not just that Brother Changsheng is young and has great potential."
"It's Brother Changsheng's fierceness and determination to climb up at all costs."
"Dou Changsheng is a wolf wearing human skin, no, a python with a single horn."
Yao Shaosi sighed: "The python has horns, it's a dragon."
Qian Xiaojiu nodded heavily and said: "Not bad."
"Our God of Wealth Pavilion is as rich as any other country. If we don't go back in time, it was just the great merchants of the previous dynasty. Today, there are more than 20 emperors from both dynasties in the Great Zhou Dynasty. I don't know how many methods were used, but our God of Wealth Pavilion is still standing."
"If I didn't really like Dou Changsheng, why should I keep a low profile?"
"I bet that Dou Changsheng can become a great master."
"In the future, I dare not say that the power will be overwhelming in the Great Zhou Dynasty, but it will still play an important role and he will be an important minister of the government."
Qian Xiaojiu showed a look of respect and spoke in a deep voice: "Nowadays, Brother Changsheng's name has been spread to 108 continents in the world, but few people respect him. Most of them just think they are lucky and happened to encounter the destiny ceremony."
"I have come to the capital of the gods with sharp swords, hoping to defeat Brother Changsheng and then ascend to the top of the rankings."
"In the final analysis, it's because Brother Changsheng's cultivation level is low. They've got the idea that I can have sex with them, and they want to come here to take advantage."
"I completely ignored it. Even if Ye Wumian lowers his realm and cannot use his martial arts, he is still the seventh monster on the list."
Yao Shaosi shook the cigarette in his hand and objected: "Isn't this enough?"
Qian Xiaojiu agreed with the sermon: "This is just the appearance, what really matters to me."
"It's the broom star that Brother Changsheng created."
"This is a stroke of genius, the finishing touch."
"Look carefully, who died after the broom star incident happened?"
"Wang Captou, Zheng Shiming,"
"What are their identities?"
"It's the Silver Badge Agent, the Gold Badge Agent."
"What do they have in common?"
Yao Shaosi immediately replied: "They are all Dou Changsheng's bosses."
"What is Brother Changsheng's current official position?"
"Golden Badge."
After Yao Shaosi blurted out his words, he immediately showed a look of enlightenment and suddenly raised his head to look at Qian Xiaojiu.
Qian Xiaojiu nodded heavily and said: "Not bad."
"Excellent talent, ruthless character, and clear goals."
"Brother Changsheng failed."
"Who can succeed?"
There was a sound from the bar stool, the pipe was dropped, and Yao Shaosi looked horrified.
