Fuyun Teahouse was bustling with activity.
A group of merchants were talking among themselves as they clamored to come upstairs.
Even though the receptionist at the front desk kept saying that there was no one upstairs, the merchants still squeezed up regardless of the obstruction.
Xu Sheng tidied up his clothes and put on his usual smiling face. He went up to her and said," Aiyo, Aunt Wang, Teacher Chen, Uncle Zhang…"
He greeted the newcomer enthusiastically and nodded like a woodpecker.
The leader, Aunt Wang, did not look sideways. She pushed Xu Sheng to the side and went straight to Bai Chengze.
The group of merchants behind her, twenty to thirty people, also followed her to Bai Chengze's side and surrounded him.
Seeing that the pressure was not on his side, Xu Sheng's entire person relaxed quite a bit, clutching his chest and letting out a long sigh.
Then, two people carrying flower baskets walked past him, which surprised him.
Then, there was another person holding a banner, which made Xu Sheng's jaw drop in shock.
The large group behind them carried large and small bags in their hands. There were eggs, milk, and all sorts of other things.
Their faces were filled with warm smiles as they came to Bai Chengze's side and stuffed the things in their hands into his arms.
Aunty Wang said somewhat embarrassedly,"Little Ze, Auntie Wang misunderstood you. I even criticized you this morning. Today, I saw that the Viper Gang really moved away. Hurry up and tell Auntie how you talked to the Viper Gang. Why does he listen to you so much…"
" Yes, yes." Everyone chimed in." It's been so many years, and the rules for collecting protection fees have never changed. Why are you so kind this time…"
Facing the questions, Bai Chengze explained one by one," They have other sources of income.”
Everyone nodded thoughtfully.
Aunt Wang held Bai Chengze's hand." Little Ze, you did a good job this time. I knew you had a good tongue. You're just like Zhuge Liang, fighting against the crowd with your tongue…"
" A group of scholars," Uncle Zhang corrected." It's a verbal battle.”
"No matter what, you've helped us a lot this time…"
The group of people chattered and were very enthusiastic. They surrounded Bai Chengze like stars surrounding the moon and chatted non-stop.
When Xu Sheng saw this scene, he was somewhat puzzled.
He cleared his throat and squeezed into the crowd with a smile on his face." Hey, I told you yesterday that there will be an explanation for the Snake Gang, but…"
Aunt Wang pulled Xu Sheng to the side and held Bai Chengze's hand." Xiao Ze, I'll fry some sweet potato balls for you to eat tonight. Come to the shop to get it before you leave. Don't forget, ah."”
"I understand, Aunt Wang." Bai Chengze nodded.
"I'll make you some pancakes. You can take them home to eat…"
"I'll fry some chicken…"
Everyone spoke one after another, looking very enthusiastic.
Xu Sheng tidied up his clothes again and stood in front of Bai Chengze." Aiya, why are you being so polite? We're all family, you have to…"
Aunt Wang sized Xu Sheng up.
"I say, Xiao Xu, Xiao Ze did a better job than you. If you ask me, why don't you abdicate and give up your position…"
Xu Sheng's face turned red." I…I'll think about it."”
" Yes." Aunty Wang nodded." Listen to me. Think about it."”
" Mm…" Xu Sheng nodded with difficulty.
As he spoke, a series of tinkling sounds came from inside the office. Xu Sheng hurriedly ran in to check the situation.
A banner had appeared on the wall at some point. On it were the words: The nemesis of evil, worthy of commendation.
The circumstances of the day made Xu Sheng feel extremely absurd, as if he had a big dream.
He rubbed his face and sat on the sofa, smoking a cigarette. He did not understand what was going on.
After the merchants who had come to thank him had all left reluctantly, Bai Chengze pushed the door open and walked in." Take this chicken egg back and give it to Sister-in-law."”
Xu Sheng raised his head to take a look." Mm…"
"I'm going back first, Big Brother Great Sage." Bai Chengze nodded.
" Chengze," Xu Sheng called him from behind.
Bai Chengze stopped and turned around.
"How did you do it? Why would Viper listen to you?" Xu Sheng asked.
"He's dead." Bai Chengze said indifferently.
" What?!" Xu Sheng was greatly shocked.
In the blink of an eye, Bai Chengze gave him a job.
With a plop, a corpse suddenly fell in front of Xu Sheng.
Xu Sheng was so frightened by this sudden movement that he staggered and retreated a few steps back in panic, falling on his butt on the ground." F * ck, f * ck!”
Staring at the dead body of the poisonous snake, Xu Sheng crawled to his side and put a finger under his nose. Then, his body trembled." F * ck!"”
Calming his state of mind, Xu Sheng raised his head and asked,""What about his underlings? Won't you look for trouble?"
"They're all dead." Bai Chengze lit a cigarette.
"Ah?" Xu Sheng seemed to have been stimulated, panting heavily.
All of this was too strange. He did not even understand how the poisonous snake's corpse suddenly appeared in front of him.
However, the way he looked at Bai Chengze had changed a lot. It was filled with respect and panic.
Xu Sheng pointed at Viper's corpse, still in shock." Then…how should we deal with this? Do you want me to help you contact professional people…"
Bai Chengze shook his head and gestured for him to take two steps back." Watch carefully. I'll only demonstrate once."”
Immediately after, a streak of fiery light soared into the sky, scaring Xu Sheng so much that he fell on his butt.
He used one arm to block the blazing flames. When he lowered his arm, there was only a pile of ashes left on the ground.
Xu Sheng panted heavily, his gaze unfocused. He raised his head and asked,"Chengze, I didn't do anything wrong to you, did I?”
"I've always trusted you, Big Brother Great Sage.”
Bai Chengze lit a cigarette and tossed another one to Xu Sheng.
Xu Sheng picked up the cigarette on the ground and lit it with a trembling light. He took a puff greedily and sat on the ground. His limbs were curled into a ball as he trembled." Don't call me brother. I'll call you brother. From now on, you're my brother."”
" Don't shout." Bai Chengze patted Xu Sheng's shoulder." Sweep the floor later."”
