Li Mu did not answer Bai Tao's question.
In fact, he had already contacted the president through Geng Xian on the way to Wuling City, and had arranged a meeting long ago. He and the president had a cooperative relationship before when he was washing money, so it was not difficult to meet.
After all, he is alone and powerless in this world. Whether he is looking for a way out or practicing martial arts, he can achieve twice the result with half the effort with the help of the president.
Half an hour later, the taxi stopped in front of an old building.
This is the headquarters of the Beggars' Union, where the president usually works. Although fifth-class citizens in this world are strictly prohibited from engaging in activities such as scholars, farmers, merchants and artisans, who can blame the president for having a close relationship with the emperor of the Feiyun Empire? Therefore, he was granted special permission not to go out to beg, and all expenses were directly covered by the royal family. In the name of managing the beggars in the empire, it was actually just a reason to make an exception for the president.
When they arrived at the headquarters of the Beggars Alliance, Bai Tao stopped talking. This place could be said to be a holy land for beggars. Although he knew that Li Mu had made a wasted trip here and couldn't even get in the door, it still didn't stop him from admiring the holy land. Since he was already here, he might as well take a look outside the headquarters, which would make it worthwhile for him to accompany Li Mu for hundreds of thousands of kilometers.
However, as soon as Li Mu arrived at the door, two guards came up to him and asked respectfully, "Are you Mr. Li Mu?"
Li Mu nodded.
"Mr. Li Mu, the president has been waiting for a long time. Please come in." He made a gesture of invitation.
Bai Tao was dumbfounded when he saw this scene. He asked in disbelief, "Old Li, you hid it well enough. When did you hook up with the president?"
"Haha, I cooperated with your president on a business deal some time ago." Li Mu smiled faintly.
Bai Tao's eyes widened when he heard that and silently gave Li Mu a thumbs up. No wonder Li Mu could become rich. Look at him, he had just come to this world and he was already doing business with the president just a few days later, while he was still begging on the street!
Led by the guard, Li Mu and his two companions came to the third floor of the small building and knocked on the door of a luxurious office.
An old man with gray hair was sitting at his desk reviewing documents. When he heard Li Mu and the other two coming, he said without even looking up, "Please take a seat. I'll finish the things I have on hand first."
"No hurry, senior, you go ahead and do your work first." Li Mu said with a smile, then found a seat and sat down confidently.
Bai Tao and Ning Xin hurriedly caught up, looking a little uneasy standing next to Li Mu.
Ning Xin didn't need to say anything. She had no experience to begin with. When she came to this strange city and saw this big shot, she was naturally nervous. Although the president was still a fifth-class citizen, logically speaking, her status as a fourth-class citizen should be higher than the president's no matter how bad she was. But the president's pomp and momentum were there, so she didn't dare to make a loud noise.
Li Mu did not expect that Bai Tao, an old beggar who was usually carefree and had no taboos even in front of Geng Xian, the branch president, would be more well-behaved than a little kitten when meeting the president.
After almost an hour, the president finally finished reviewing the documents on his desk. He stretched his body and accidentally saw Li Mu and the other two sitting in his office. He smiled apologetically and said, "Haha, you guys, look at my memory. I was so busy with official duties that I forgot about you. Please bear with me."
"The president is very busy every day, and he works hard for so many brothers in the begging union. We can't show our respect to him enough!" Li Mu said with a smile.
"Haha, I'm just worrying about nothing. I just want my brothers back home to have enough food to eat." The general president waved his hand. "You must be Li Mu, right? Xiao Geng has told me before that our union was able to obtain such a large amount of income this time, and you have made an indispensable contribution!"
"You are too polite, President. Without your help, we might not get a penny. This is just a mutual benefit for all of us."
"Haha, kid, stop calling me president all the time. You are not a member of our union, so there is no need to call me president. As for the title of senior, it is already a thing of the past. In this world, you don't need to call me senior, so as not to give people a handle and cause trouble. My name is Ji Feibai, and I should be older than you. If you don't mind, just call me Brother Ji." The president said with a smile.
"Ji Feibai? Brother, are you from the Ji family, the number one force in the Qiongzu Universe?" Li Mu asked in surprise.
"What the first force? They are just a group of unfilial descendants! They actually took advantage of the master's disappearance to seize the power of the Qiongzu! They did such a heinous thing! Humph~ If I can escape from this predicament one day, I will definitely destroy those unfilial descendants!" Ji Feibai snorted coldly.
Hearing Ji Feibai say this, Li Mu's heart suddenly jumped. You know, the six major forces have monopolized the power of the Qiongzu universe for at least tens of millions of trillions of years. In this case, how old is Ji Feibai! And from what Ji Feibai said, he is still the ancestor of the Ji family?
So, Ji Feibai was once one of the top people in the Qiongzu Universe? It is very likely that he was second only to the missing Lord of the Qiongzu Universe! Li Mu couldn't help but look at Bai Tao. Bai Tao, an old fox, saw Li Mu's doubts at a glance, nodded calmly, and confirmed Li Mu's guess.
No wonder Bai Tao didn't dare to breathe in front of Ji Feibai. How could he dare to be presumptuous in front of such a strong man? Even though Ji Feibai was like him now, and had lost all his cultivation in this world, the fear engraved in his genes could not be smoothed out simply by time.
Realizing his own loss of composure, Ji Feibai smiled bitterly: "Alas~ Let's not talk about the past. I have been an ordinary person in this world for who knows how many years. It is really ridiculous to mention the facts of the Qiongzu Universe again."
"Brother Ji, how did a strong man like you end up in this world?" Li Mu wondered.
"Haha, that's a good question. I've been thinking about this over the years. I was too conceited back then! After staying at the top for too long, I thought about doing something challenging. Many people advised me not to do this back then, but I was too stubborn. I kept thinking that I was already at the top of the universe, and I had no rivals except the Lord. There was no place I couldn't go. As a result... Haha, it's meaningless to talk about this now. I should pay for the choices I made. I don't regret it, but I didn't expect that my descendants would mess around after I left." Ji Feibai smiled bitterly.
Then he changed the subject and said, "Xiao Li, you just came to this world, and you may not be willing to stay here for the rest of your life. I know that you should still think about finding a way out. I don't object to this. We cultivators should maintain an invincible heart and let others say whatever they want. It is not our style to easily give up without trying hard. However, if you have had enough of this, our union will always welcome you to join. After all, we are a disadvantaged group in this world. Although sticking together cannot improve our status, it is much more advantageous than you alone."
Li Mu smiled bitterly and said, "Brother Ji, let's talk about this later. I came to you today because I really want to ask you for help with two things."
