It’s not that easy to change!
"Sect Master Lu is truly a remarkable person..."
"Hi." Lu Qing emerged from the shadows and greeted.
Liu He was startled. When he saw that it was Lu Qing, he touched his chest and saluted.
At the same time, he was also worried that his previous sigh had been heard by Sect Master Lu.
"The Sect Master has arrived, I..."
"Fellow Daoist Liu, you're welcome. I came to you mainly to ask you something."
"I will tell you everything I know!"
"Well, what's the origin of this Garden Tea House and that Shopkeeper Shu?"
Garden Tea House! ?
Shopkeeper Shu! ?
Liu He did not try to guess how Sect Master Lu came into contact with them, but simply told them everything he knew.
The city lord's mansion is not located in the center of Bei'an City.
But it was the busy intersection.
Those four buildings represent the four largest forces in the city.
The Garden Tea House and the Shu family behind it were one of these branches. The other three were Changji Bank, Laoding Restaurant, and Yichunfang.
The Chang family has a good relationship with Yichunfang and the current city lord Wang Fu.
The Shu family and the Ding family, however, were secretly disobedient to Wang Fu and did not get along well with him.
All four major forces worship immortal cultivators, and some even have immortal cultivators within their families.
But they are all just Qi-refining cultivators, not as powerful as Liu He.
In addition to these four major forces, there are many other forces. These forces, and even individuals, are intertwined and scheming, forming the upper class of Bei'an City.
Huang Ya and Lu Xian can naturally be counted among them.
Lu Qing told Liu He that Manager Shu had sent people to follow the strange guests.
Liu He speculated that this might be because the caravan from Dongxing City was about to arrive, and they were looking for spies who had arrived ahead.
As for what he wanted to do after finding it, Liu He didn't explain in detail, but just mentioned it briefly.
Because Liu He felt that talking about the worldly struggle for power and profit would only disturb Lu Qing.
But Lu Qing also roughly understood the current situation in the city.
Bei'an City was a hot commodity; whoever occupied it would get the lion's share. Among the remaining people, some were content with the status quo, while others wanted to take more. However, the city's structure had already been established, and unless external forces intervened, who got how much would remain unchanged.
This external force is naturally the Dongxing City caravan.
So Wang Fu should be very panicked now, right?
Thinking of this, Lu Qing felt that he needed to give Wang Fu some confidence.
After all, when I found him, he simply handed over Bei'an City to Cangxia Sect.
In the study, Wang Fu was flipping through military records with a frown on his face.
"King City Lord."
Lu Qing knocked on the door.
"Sect Master Lu!" Wang Fu was startled, and immediately put on a lively expression and stood up to greet him.
"The Dongxing City Chamber of Commerce is coming..."
"Don't worry, Sect Master Lu! I have already made comprehensive preparations for this. A mere Dongxing City merchant caravan cannot cause any trouble!" Wang Fu was full of confidence and ambition.
"Well."
Lu Qing was stunned for a moment, then nodded and said "OK".
Afterwards, they exchanged a few pleasantries and said goodbye and left.
After Lu Qing left.
Wang Fu stared at the door blankly.
Sudden!
He suddenly raised his hand and slapped himself hard.
"I told you to talk nonsense! You're talking nonsense! You're talking nonsense, right?!"
"The knife is hanging over your head, and you're still talking nonsense! Nonsense!"
"Nonsense! You bastard! Nonsense!!"
Every nonsense was accompanied by a slap in the face.
After leaving Wang Fu's study, Lu Qing found Liu He again. He did not point out Wang Fu's behavior just now, but simply said to Liu He: "Fellow Daoist Liu, if you and Wang Fu encounter any problems, you can call on the disciples to help."
Liu He agreed repeatedly.
After Lu Qing finished explaining, seeing that Liu He didn't want to invite him to dinner, he turned into a black shadow and went to find a restaurant to eat.
Cheng Yi advocates eating more meat when exercising.
It was just right that since he was already there, Lu Qing decided to find a place where he could eat meat and have a big meal.
…
At the same time, in a courtyard somewhere in the southern suburbs of Bei'an City.
A middle-aged woman was looking at the cigarettes on the altar in front of her. Suddenly, they floated out of the window.
"Is this an evil cultivator? Is he heading towards the city?!"
The woman frowned and stood up from the meditation mat.
Open the window and look out.
"What is Liu He doing? ...Is he really injured? Is the news that all his disciples are dead true?"
"What about the people from the four major families? Why don't they come forward? Why don't they gather people together?"
"Could it be that this is a trick they created?"
"Which one is it..."
The woman hesitated.
After thinking about it, she pulled out an oil-paper umbrella from under the altar.
Then, he put the oil-paper umbrella on his back, jumped up, stepped on the window frame, stepped onto the eaves of the wall, and flew towards the city.
