Chapter 22-Vision
Ye Manor's gatekeeper.
A muscular man was taking off his raincoat, which was dripping with water, revealing the rough yellow cloth that cut his shoulders and the small hemp rope tied around his waist. The straw raincoat was badly torn and almost useless. The clothes inside were also wet, and the straw sandals on his feet were almost worn out.
"Eighth Young Master will be out soon.”After Li Laosi called out to Ye Kong, he hurried over to reply.
If it was before, Li Laosi would never have informed anyone who was looking for Chen Jiuniang and her son in the middle of the night. Even if this person died from the rain, he would not have let them in.
But things were different now. He clearly knew how powerful Ye Kong was, and he didn't want to provoke Ye Kong. The idea that the strong were respected in Cangnan Continent was deeply rooted in people's hearts. After Li Laosi was beaten up, he began to admire Ye Kong and fawn over him.
"Oh, it's okay, brother. Thanks.”The person felt that he was wet and was too embarrassed to sit down, so he stood and waited.
Not long after, Ye Kong pushed open the door and walked in, holding a black umbrella. When he saw who it was, he paused for a moment and said," Lu Jun? What are you doing here?"
Along the way, Ye Kong had been wondering who would come to visit him in the middle of the night, braving the heavy rain. He couldn't think of anyone, but when he saw it, he realized that it was the eldest son of the Lu family who had helped him in the afternoon.
" Eighth Young Master, I…" Lu Jun looked anxious, but he looked at Li Laosi.
"Quick, take a seat. Brother Li, help me get a cup of hot tea.”Ye Kong could tell that he had something to say, so he quickly sent Li Laosi away.
Li Laosi tactfully went to pour some tea, and Ye Kong pulled Lu Jun to sit down, wondering if this kid was short of money again. Borrowing money from me in the middle of the night? F * ck him, he really couldn't be a good person.
However, Ye Kong had guessed wrong. Lu Jun wasn't here to borrow money, but to pay him back.
As soon as he sat down, Lu Jun took out the nine taels of loose silver that Ye Kong had given him, placed them on the table, and pushed them toward Ye Kong.
Ye Kong was taken aback again, and he asked," This is…?”
Lu Jun said," Divine Doctor Han has seen it. My mother's eyes have been sealed. No medicine she takes will work, so he didn't take the silver. Since she can't use it, I can't take Eighth Young Master's silver.”
Ye Kong nodded. He felt that Lu Jun was indeed a man of spirit, but then he thought, Could it be that he didn't want to let me see his precious treasure?
Ye Kong quickly pushed the silver over and said," Big Brother Lu, you don't have to be so polite. This silver is for me to pay for the Lu family's treasure. I'm not giving it to you for free, so you should just accept it."”
Lu Jun's expression turned serious. He used the back of his hand to block the silver and said," Eighth Young Master, I know that you are kind-hearted. This silver is to help me tide over my difficulties. I don't need it now, so I can't accept it. As for my precious jade, I'm grateful that Eighth Young Master won't give it up. You can go and see it anytime!”
In truth, Ye Kong hadn't intended to do good in the first place, but when he heard what Lu Jun said, he felt a little embarrassed. He quickly pushed the matter back and said humbly," How can I do that? I won't look for nothing."
Lu Jun was about to push it back when Ye Kong pretended to be angry." Brother Lu, are you looking down on me, Ye Kong? Am I the kind of person who doesn't pay after seeing it? If you insist on not accepting it, it means that you don't want to show it to me!”
In fact, he was a person who didn't pay when he saw it. He didn't even pay when he saw a lady bathing, let alone a piece of jade. He was so modest because he felt that Lu Jun was a man, loyal, and worth interacting with.
When Lu Jun heard Ye Kong say this, he couldn't refuse any further. After thanking him, he put the silver away.
At this moment, Ye Kong smiled and said," Big Brother Lu, can you tell us your true purpose for coming here?”
It was obvious that Lu Jun's main purpose was not to return the silver. Otherwise, why didn't he come in the afternoon? It was raining so heavily. They could come tomorrow morning, but something big must have happened in the middle of the night.
"Eighth Young Master is indeed shrewd. I haven't even said anything and you already know that something is wrong.”Lu Jun flattered.
Ye Kong smiled disdainfully, then said," I also know that you came to find me because you had something to do with the person who followed me this afternoon. Did your gang find you and ask about my identity?”
Lu Jun was really surprised this time. He was just flattering him just now. Who knew that the other party actually guessed the matter almost right.
"Eighth Young Master is indeed wise and intelligent. I admire you!”Lu Jun solemnly cupped his fists and said.
Ye Kong wasn't being modest. He nodded and continued his analysis." Big Brother Lu must have something important to tell them since he came late at night. But logically speaking, Big Brother Lu would have told them about my identity. They wouldn't dare to do anything to me, right? What's the emergency?"
Lu Jun was already prostrating himself in admiration as he said," What the Eighth Young Master said is right. In the afternoon, the Law Enforcement Hall of our sect came to inquire about the identity of the Eighth Young Master. I didn't hide anything and told them directly. When the people of the Law Enforcement Hall heard that it was the Eighth Young Master of the Ye residence, they naturally didn't dare to say anything and left hastily. However, who knew..."
Ye Kong's eyes narrowed, waiting for him to continue.
Lu Jun looked around and said in a low voice," Who knew that in the evening, the Hall Master of the Law Enforcement Hall personally brought more than ten experts to my house and laid an ambush. They were waiting for the Eighth Young Master to go and see the precious jade and suddenly kill him. Fortunately, it suddenly rained today. Otherwise, you would have been ambushed."”
When Ye Kong heard this, he was shocked. Obviously, these people knew his identity and were ready to forget about it. However, there was a sudden change. What made them dare to change their minds and assassinate him, the Eighth Young Master of the Ye family?
"What did they say to you?”Ye Kong asked again.
" They... said something awful..."
"Just say it."
" They said that you're a fool and have never practiced martial arts. You're worthless in the Ye family. Even if you die, no one will care…"
Ye Kong immediately understood. They had spies. At first, they were already prepared to stop here, but after hearing what the informant said, the heart of revenge rose again.
But no matter what, he was still a disciple of the Ye family. The government would definitely step forward. These guys were really bold!
Lu Jun continued," At first, it was drizzling. Hall Master Li and the others were still hoping that the rain would stop. However, as the rain got heavier, they left and said that they would come again tomorrow. I waited until I was sure that no one was watching before I came to inform Eighth Young Master."”
Ye Kong nodded, looking at the man drenched in the rain. For the first time in this cruel continent, he felt that kindness was rewarded. It seemed that no matter where it was, as long as there were people, there would be seeds of kindness and justice.
Suddenly, Ye Kong remembered that Lu Jun hadn't warned him about the people following him before, but this time, he had risked his life to warn him. Clearly, he wasn't just being kind.
Ye Kong smiled, then looked up into Lu Jun's eyes and asked," Big Brother Lu, you came to tell me in the rain because you knew that they were no match for me, right?”
Lu Jun quickly knelt down, but he did not panic. He cupped his fists and said," Eighth Young Master, I am very grateful for your generosity. However, it is just gratitude. If Eighth Young Master really does not even have the ability to protect himself, I will not risk my life to tell you!”
Ye Kong stared at Lu Jun and asked," Someone helped you out of a sense of justice, but you didn't tell anyone about it, and you watched as your benefactor died. Where is your conscience?!"”
Lu Jun's eyes flashed with guilt, but he immediately raised his head and said," I have a conscience too! He also knew right and wrong! He would feel even more guilty! But I still have my mother and little sister. If anything happens to my benefactor, I can only blame him for not understanding that not everyone can do good deeds!”
In this cruel continent, kindness, justice, compassion, and the joy of helping others…all of these required capital! If you were rich and powerful enough, then you would do well. If you didn't have the strength to help others, then you would get into endless trouble. This was the basic principle of Cangnan Continent.
However, Ye Kong didn't blame Lu Jun. He had done a good job. On the contrary, he had a new opinion of Lu Jun. This kid was sensible and clear-headed, and his moral character wasn't bad. He was also meticulous in his rough ways, and most importantly, he had a keen eye for the long term. He was a talent.
"Then how can you tell that I will definitely be the winner?”Ye Kong asked with interest.
Lu Jun said," From what they said, the Eighth Young Master is a fool. However, from what I can see, the Eighth Young Master is meticulous and meticulous. Also, they said that you have never practiced martial arts, so how could you kill six opponents? They even said that you were inferior to a servant in the Ye family, but I saw with my own eyes how respectful the servants were to you. Obviously, the source of their information was wrong, so they were bound to fail!”
"Good!" Ye Kong couldn't help but praise him. He helped Lu Jun up and said with a smile," Just follow me from now on. Do you want to be a gang leader yourself?"”
"Be…the gang leader?" Lu Jun thought he had heard wrong.
In fact, Ye Kong had once thought of returning to his old profession and forming a club in the other world to gather information. Moreover, he now had an income and a backup plan. Even if he wasn't around, his mother would have someone to take care of him.
However, because he was busy cultivating, he had only stopped thinking about it. Now that he saw that Lu Jun was a potential talent, he naturally could not help but mention it.
Lu Jun listened to Ye Kong's explanation, thought about it, and shook his head." Although the sect members are wavering, no one would dare to go against the sect leader, Fan Jiulong."”
Ye Kong scoffed." Fan Jiulong, I'll call him a dead dragon!”
"The truly powerful one is his younger brother.”
"Martial arts?" Ye Kong snorted. Now that he had the talisman to support him, he didn't care about martial arts, no matter how good they were.
"If we can really get rid of the Fan brothers, then we can do it!”Lu Jun lowered his head and thought for a while before saying.
"Alright, then you should start paying attention to Fan Jiulong's whereabouts tomorrow.”
"Yes." Lu Jun replied loudly and asked again," Eighth Young Master, are you still coming tomorrow night?”
"Go! Why aren't you going?" Ye Kong smiled grimly." They've been preparing for two days. We can't let them wait for nothing, can we? Law Enforcement Hall, right? Tell me, how many of them are there, how high are their martial arts, and where are they hiding?”
Another hour later, Ye Kong sent Lu Jun out and stuffed his umbrella into his hands.
As he watched Lu Jun's muscular figure disappear into the endless rain, Ye Kong turned his head to look coldly at Li Laosi and said in a deep voice," If you leak the fact that this person is looking for me…I'll immediately kill your entire family!”
"Yes, yes, yes. I wouldn't dare!" Li Laosi, who used to show off in front of Chen Jiuniang and her son, could only tremble at this moment.
