The Iron Eagle Gang's patrolling disciples were practically useless to Chu Chu.
Chu Chu easily avoided their gaze and arrived at the Iron Eagle Gang's meeting hall.
At this moment, Tie Pengjun, the leader of the Iron Eagle Gang, had just received the urgently delivered cold ginseng.
Chu Chu walked into the hall, stood in front of Tie Pengjun, and said, "This is the Cold Ginseng."
Tie Peng was horrified when he heard Chu Chu's voice!
How did she get in? And how did she get to my side?
Even a Grandmaster wouldn't conceal their aura to this extent!
Tie Pengjun had initially believed that Chu Chu possessed the strength of a Grandmaster, but now he couldn't fathom her cultivation level at all. A Grandmaster, or even higher?
He knew his life depended entirely on the mood of this "real" girl.
Although Tie Pengjun was the leader of the Iron Eagle Gang, the most powerful gang in Yinjing, he dared not be arrogant in front of Chu Chu. He didn't even dare to sit down and answer her.
Because his legs were broken, Tie Pengjun had no choice but to struggle to his feet and sit on the ground, where Chu Chu was much taller than him, which made him feel safer.
Tie Peng is a man of the underworld; he can be ruthless when he wants to be, and extremely shrewd when he wants to be.
Knowing he was no match for this woman, and in fact, in the entire capital, apart from the power of the imperial palace, no one could rival her, he simply lowered his posture considerably and respectfully replied, "Replying to your question, sir, this is indeed Han Shen. I specially sent it by carrier pigeon, ordering someone to deliver it from Northern Yan with urgent speed, two thousand li away."
"Um."
Tie Pengjun quickly reached out and opened the wooden box. The ice and snow inside, used to keep it warm, had not even melted yet.
"My lord, cold ginseng needs to be kept at low temperatures to maintain its medicinal properties. The fact that the ice and snow haven't melted means that the cold ginseng still retains its medicinal properties."
"Um."
“My lord. The last time I met you, I was foolish enough to provoke you. Fortunately, you gave me a kick, which finally made me understand.”
Chu Chu glanced at Tie Pengjun, then looked away.
This guy is incredibly boring, just like those lousy江湖 (jianghu) people. Give them a kick, and they'll suddenly become this obedient fool.
He's far inferior to He Yunxiao.
Thinking of He Yunxiao, Chu Chu turned her gaze back to the cold ginseng.
Do you know of any other substances that can prolong life?
Tie Pengjun dared not slack off; this was the first time the master had spoken so much to him, so he had to perform well.
"I know, I know. There are magical herbs on Mount Nantian, which are said to extend one's life by ten years if consumed."
Chu Chu shook her head and said, "It's too far. You get it for me."
Tie Pengjun's lips twitched.
The Taixu Sect of Nantian Mountain, the number one sect in the world with a thousand-year history. For a former disciple like myself to go to the Taixu Sect to retrieve herbs is simply courting death.
Tie Pengjun, who had initially harbored some probing thoughts, is now completely convinced.
Instead of considering the strength of the Taixu Sect, she prioritized the journey to obtain the herbs. This woman isn't even afraid of the Taixu Sect; there's probably nothing in the world that can subdue her.
Tie Pengjun, who was initially terrified, was secretly delighted after realizing that Chu Chu might be very strong.
Honestly, the fact that she broke my leg because I spoke rudely back then wasn't a big deal. Now that I've knelt down quickly enough, been polite enough, and given her what she wanted, I might be able to get close to this powerful woman.
Tie Pengjun said obsequiously, "Sir, I am a disgraced disciple of the Taixu Sect. Sending me to gather herbs is tantamount to sending me to my death."
Seeing how useless he was, Chu Chu would have kicked him in the past, but now she just frowned and said, "Useless."
The seasoned veteran Tie Pengjun was secretly pleased to see that the woman only scolded him and didn't hit him.
Good! This woman is strong, reasonable, and even has a bit of kindness. She's perfect for protecting my Iron Eagle Gang!
Tie Peng knew that Chu Chu was looking for something to prolong her life, but such items were extremely rare, each one priceless. Even using his years of connections in the martial world, he had only managed to obtain a single Cold Ginseng. After much deliberation, Tie Peng finally thought of his good brothers, the Snake Tiger Gang.
Tie Pengjun said, "Sir, I have heard that the Yin Jing Snake Tiger Gang has a jade bed that can prolong life."
Holding the wooden box, Chu Chu asked directly, "Where is the Snake Tiger Gang?"
Tie Pengjun was overjoyed to hear Chu Chu say this.
This woman didn't even ask about the other person's skill level; she went straight to asking where they were located. Her confidence in her own abilities was terrifying.
"Sir, if you go west, you will see a large courtyard with a Yin-Yang Well in the middle. That is the Snake Tiger Gang."
Upon learning the address, Chu Chu turned and left.
Tie Pengjun quickly replied, "This humble servant does not know your esteemed name, sir."
These words stumped Chu Chu.
To be honest, Chu Chu didn't even know her own name. Calling herself "Chu Xiaoxiao" didn't quite fit either, and besides, the name "Chu Chu" was given to her by He Yunxiao, and she'd unknowingly been using it ever since. She liked it more and more.
"My surname is Chu."
Tie Pengjun, a shrewd man who had been in the martial arts world for a long time, immediately responded, "This humble one, Tie Pengjun, respectfully sees off Venerable Chu!"
Chu Chu was taken aback, and suddenly felt that "Celestial Venerable" seemed to match a certain name very well.
"Consider this medicine a loan from me."
"Your Excellency, please take this and use it. If you need anything in the future, please feel free to give the order to me and the Iron Eagle Gang. From now on, the Iron Eagle Gang will follow Your Excellency's lead!"
Chu Chu didn't say anything. She had seen a few underworld forces like this that directly recognized her as their leader before, but she never bothered with them and let them fend for themselves.
She turned to leave again, but Tie Pengjun quickly said, "Your Excellency, how may I contact you?"
Chu Chu said, "You are not worthy."
After saying that, he left.
Tie Peng was so excited that he trembled all over!
I don't deserve it! That's great! I don't deserve it!
My gang is the number one gang in Yin Jing! Its influence extends throughout Yin Jing and the surrounding counties, with three thousand members, including three ninth-rank masters and twenty-five eighth-rank masters! No one in the martial arts world dares to underestimate such power; it's even enough to flatten small border countries.
