At Fenghe Tower, Wu Cheng wolfed down his food, holding a large bowl. After finishing one bowl of rice, he picked up another, poured in all the dishes and broth from the table, stirred it, and then ate it in large mouthfuls.
The food in Jiangnan West Road was a bit spicy, and he ate it until he was drenched in sweat, with sweat pouring down his head like rain.
Wu Cheng ignored the sweat on his brow. He had barely eaten since his wife died, but now that he had avenged his great enemy, he felt a great appetite.
Watching him eat, Li Chang'an swallowed hard and called out.
"Shopkeeper, give me a big bowl of rice too, and I want to eat it with vegetables."
Manager Lü walked over with a bowl of rice. He looked at Xiong Ba and Zhang Zhiwei standing to the side, his heart already churning with turmoil.
He couldn't think of anyone who could make the leader of the World Society and the head of Wudang Mountain stand and serve him.
Both of them are at the terrestrial immortal realm, and are well-known figures in the martial arts world. In front of them, I can only be considered a junior.
And now, the important person in his eyes was bowing and scraping like a servant in front of this man.
"Guest, your rice."
After placing the bowl on the table, Manager Lü didn't dare to look up at the man in front of him, and prepared to leave with his head down.
Li Chang'an looked at him, remembering what Xiong Ba had just said, and called out to him, "Shopkeeper, wait a moment. I heard you also come from Tianlong Temple, is that right?"
"yes!"
Manager Lü wasn't surprised at all when his identity was exposed. In the martial arts world, people can usually tell which school or sect someone belongs to just by looking at their moves and internal strength.
His body was made with genuine Tianlong Temple martial arts techniques, which any expert could tell.
Do you know Li Qing?
"He's a blind man with a dragon painted on his body. He can use Heavenly Sound Wave and Dragon Leg. He's also from the Tenryu Temple. I don't know if you know him."
Li Chang'an pondered Li Qing's appearance and began to describe him.
After hearing his description, Manager Lü became excited: "You've seen my junior brother, is he still alive? Didn't that demoness kill him?"
"Hmm? Junior brother? Demoness?"
Li Chang'an was somewhat puzzled and asked, "What do you mean by that?"
"Well, this is a long story, but I'll keep it short."
Manager Lü sighed and began to recall.
"My junior brother and I were originally Han Chinese. We were adopted by monks from the Western Regions when we were young and learned martial arts. We can be considered Buddhist disciples."
"Everyone says that Buddhist disciples should be free from worldly desires, but these words are all lies."
"When the abbot of Tianlong Temple passed away, my master and my senior uncle became the candidates for the next abbot. In order to secure his position as abbot, my senior uncle sent someone to ambush my master."
"After our master died, my fellow disciple and I defected from Tianlong Temple and came all the way to Jiangnan, where we opened a restaurant."
“Life was going well until one day a masked girl came and saw my junior brother working at the restaurant. She insisted that he was pitiful and wanted him to become a Dragon Venerable so he could live a life of luxury with her.”
"My junior brother thought she was just a little girl teasing him, so he agreed."
"Who knew this little girl was a demoness? When she heard my junior brother agree, she grabbed him and tried to take him away, refusing to listen to any explanation."
"My junior brother and I teamed up, but she beat us to a pulp. We could only watch helplessly as she dragged my junior brother away. I don't even know if he's doing well now."
As Manager Lü recounted the past, his eyes welled up with tears.
Li Chang'an drank several cups of tea to cover up his embarrassment.
He recalled the scene when he first met Miao Qingqing and felt that this must be true; she really was capable of doing such a thing.
Meanwhile, Li Qing, far away in Tai'an City, sneezed a few times.
Miao Qingqing looked at him and asked, "Blind man, what's wrong? Do you have a cold?"
"It's alright, Master. Someone is probably insulting me."
"Oh, okay!"
"By the way, don't call me cult leader, call me young lady."
"Yes, Master."
"That's more like it."
After hearing Li Qing's answer, Miao Qingqing nodded in satisfaction and continued pushing the wheelchair around the back garden of the Prince's Mansion.
In her wheelchair, Lin Dongdong hugged Dou Dou and smiled happily: "Qingqing, Qingqing, faster, faster!"
"good!"
As the word "good" was written, the wheelchair sped up even more.
Murong Hongxue lay on the stone table, her heart bleeding as she watched her wheelchair being so ruined.
"My wheelchair! My wheelchair!"
Seeing his tearful expression, Qiao Feng comforted him, "Don't cry. Once these two little devils are tired of playing with you, they'll give them back to you."
Zhao Hu nodded and said, "Who told you to be so bored and show off your wheelchair in front of these two little devils? Now that it's been taken from you, are you happy?"
After listening to their words, Murong Hongxue sighed and then slapped herself: "I shouldn't have been so cheeky and teased those two silly kids."
"By the way, Zhao Hu, you're going to take up your post in Fujian in a couple of days. Have you packed your bags yet?"
“My dad and mom have already made arrangements for me. They’ve been nagging me every day these past few days, telling me to be careful out there, to eat more, and to get plenty of rest.”
"I'm so tired of hearing about this. I just came to the Prince's Mansion to get some peace and quiet."
Qiao Feng looked at Zhao Hu and said, "I envy you. You can go out and do some things for the prince. Unlike me, I can only stay in Tai'an City with Hongxue."
Upon hearing this, Murong Hongxue said, "There's nothing I can do about it. You don't know how to manage the people, and you're no good at leading troops into battle. Besides your martial arts skills, what else can you do?"
