On the day Li Xuanzu returned to the capital, Huang Lao personally went to greet him.
The public remained silent on the matter.
Of course, I wouldn't dare.
In the past, relying on their large numbers and the backing of the state, they sneered at everything Li Xuanzu did and constantly slandered him.
Now, their faith in Huangdi and Laozi is seen by them as no different from Li Xuanzu, both of whom are sinners throughout the ages, and so they have become numb.
Li Xuanzu got out of the car and helped Huang Lao, chatting and laughing with him, just like a pair of close friends despite their age difference.
The people were far away, and Elder Huang brought two third-tier psionicists as bodyguards on this trip.
Shi Xuan and Shi Fan are twin brothers. The elder brother, Shi Xuan, has the ability to harden his skin, while the younger brother, Shi Fan, has the ability to control fire. They were adopted by Huang Lao in his middle age, and after they grew up, they stayed by Huang Lao's side to handle matters. They are absolutely trustworthy.
These two men were completely obedient to Huang Lao, and they dealt with nearly half of the opposition within the capital. The blood on their hands was almost as much as that of Li Xuanzu, and they were affectionately called "the Death-Taking Impermanence" by many common people.
This is why Huang Lao's reputation is even worse than Li Xuanzu's.
Those people were all talk and no action; they didn't dare utter a single word in front of these two, fearing they might be implicated.
The news that Huang Lao had come out to welcome Li Xuanzu spread like wildfire, quickly becoming the talk of the entire capital, with many people watching from afar.
Fear and anger were evident on the faces of the onlookers.
"Find me a place to sleep. I'm going to Shanghai tomorrow. Remember to get me some supplies. I don't need those small tools and stuff. I'll have Fu Yu make a list for you later." Li Xuanzu supported Old Huang with one hand and patted his shoulder with the other.
"No problem, it's all arranged for you. This must be Liang Lezhan, right? Aren't you going to introduce him to me?" Old Huang said with a smile, looking at Liang Lezhan, who was following behind Li Xuanzu with his head down.
"Him? You've reached this level, there's no need for you to get to know every Tom, Dick, and Harry." Li Xuanzu had no intention of giving Liang Lezhan any face at all.
As expected, Liang Lezhan, who was extremely concerned about his image, turned red in the face after hearing these words and glared angrily at Li Xuanzu's arrogant back.
As if sensing something, Li Xuanzu suddenly turned his head, startling Liang Lezhan, who quickly averted his gaze.
Li Xuanzu found this embarrassing situation amusing.
Old Huang remained silent, but Li Xuanzu's attitude was clear: this young man did not need to be given face.
After receiving the list from Fu Yu, Old Huang patted Qian Li's head affectionately and handed her a beautifully packaged lollipop.
Qian Li wasn't very familiar with Old Huang, so she timidly thanked him and accepted the gift.
This kind of thing is probably only something that Elder Huang could get his hands on. In the apocalypse, food is not as plentiful as one might imagine, and normal companies wouldn't produce these useless snacks.
"You want it?" Li Xuanzu looked at Fu Yu, who was staring intently at the lollipop, her eyes almost popping out of her head.
"Huh? No, I didn't want any candy. I'm an adult." Fu Yu realized her lapse in composure and looked at Li Xuanzu with a reproachful gaze.
"Just say you want some, how could we skimp on this?" Li Xuanzu said, glancing at Old Huang.
"Hehehe, my bad, my bad. I'll prepare a box for you and Qian Li each in the supplies later, so you can eat them slowly on the road." Old Huang understood, took out his pen, and added "two boxes of lollipops" to Fu Yu's list.
Fu Yu's face turned red instantly. In front of Elder Huang, she didn't dare to make a scene and randomly swung her fists, lightly punching Li Xuanzu a few times.
Everyone was quite happy at the welcome dinner.
Apart from Leung Lok-chan and the onlookers.
