Chapter 67

Lu Chengwen almost wanted to vomit blood when he heard it.

He thought to himself, you guys are not from the same world as me.

You have no idea how powerful this sect is!

Good grief, if I go out and tell people... I'll have to bang my head against the wall!

"Master, this name seems inappropriate!"

"Huh? Inappropriate?"

Lu Chengwen laughed awkwardly: "A, a bit."

Long Aotian didn't mind: "I think it's fine..."

Lu Chengwen glared at him: "Shut up! You don't know what's going on here!"

"Um." Hun Tiangang thought for a moment: "Then... my two ultimate skills are Lengju Yan and Jinzhongzhao. We can take one character from each, 'Yan' and 'Zhao,' so it would be..."

"Master, isn't it still the 'Yanzhao Sect'?"

"You didn't understand, this 'Zhao' is not the same as the previous 'Zhao.'"

"It sounds the same!"

"Oh."

Hun Tiangang thought for a long time: "Got it, as the saying goes: In the land of Yan and Zhao, there have always been many generous and heroic people! We'll name it after the place... it will be called..."

Lu Chengwen knelt down, tears streaming down his face: "Master, are you telling the truth, have you seen the pictures on the computer?"

Hun Tiangang waved his hand: "Ah, forget it, anyway, we'll just call it the 'YanZhao Sect'!"

Long Aotian said excitedly: "Thank you, Master, congratulations, Master, for becoming the first-generation patriarch of the YanZhao Sect!"

"Um." Hun Tiangang said: "I'll tell you, but you must keep it a secret. My name is Hun Tiangang, my courtesy name is Guanxi!"

Lu Chengwen nodded: "Reasonable."

Hun Tiangang said: "Today, you two have become my disciples. From now on, you must love each other and not fight. Otherwise, I will kill you. I didn't plan to pass on my legacy anyway. It's better to kill you myself than to have you two fight each other."

"Yes, disciple will not dare."

Hun Tiangang said: "You can go now, I'm leaving too."

Long Aotian panicked.

What do you mean, we just go? You go too!

We bowed and kowtowed, flattered you to death, and now you're leaving after we joined your sect?

What kind of game are you playing!?

"Master, then... how can my brother and I find you to seek your guidance?"

"No need." Hun Tiangang said: "Aren't you doing well in Xuecheng? I can find you anytime. I'll visit you periodically and teach you a bit. If you can learn, great; if not, it's fine. I teach people based on fate."

"Um... okay."

Hun Tiangang laughed loudly: "Hahaha! Good disciples, I, Hun Tiangang, have established my own sect today! Hahaha!"

A gust of wind, and Hun Tiangang rushed out of the cave like a monster, flying into the sky and disappearing.

"Ao Tian, Chengwen, remember your vows! Hahaha..."

The two looked at each other, wondering what this was all about.

He's leaving just like that?

The two walked out of the cave, and Wang Tieduo and Hua Xueni were waiting at the entrance, clearly not getting along.

Seeing Long Aotian and Lu Chengwen come out, they both rushed forward: "Young Master!"

Lu Chengwen laughed: "Wang Tieduo, according to Master's requirements, I have sworn brotherhood with Long Aotian! From now on, we are fellow disciples and sworn brothers, sharing good times and bad, being good brothers for life! So, let's forget about the past!"

Long Aotian turned around, looked at Lu Chengwen, and smiled: "Chengwen, Junior Brother, from now on, we are brothers, and we should help and support each other!"

"Of course, Big Brother!"

Long Aotian said: "You swindled fifty billion from me. Since we are brothers now, you should return the money, right?"

"Ah, Big Brother, that's really difficult!"

"What do you mean?"

"The fifty billion has already been given to Mayor Zhao for welfare, so... it can't be returned."

"But you have so much money, you can return my fifty billion!"

"My money is even harder to come by! I signed a five-hundred-billion contract with the city government, and my group's current liquid funds are only about three hundred billion. I still need to find another hundred billion in cash to make up for it!"

Long Aotian's face turned dark: "Alright, since Junior Brother says so, then don't blame me for not considering our brotherhood."

Lu Chengwen took a step back: "Master doesn't allow you to hit me!"

"Hahaha!" Long Aotian laughed, his eyes fierce: "We are both disciples of the YanZhao Sect, so we can't kill each other. But... there are many ways to make Junior Brother pay. And just because I don't kill you doesn't mean others won't."

Lu Chengwen looked at Hua Xueni: "She saw us bow and swear, if you ask her to kill me, she will look down on you!"

"Will she?"

Hua Xueni said coldly: "Absolutely not!"

Lu Chengwen said in surprise: "You should know, I saved you, and I fed you the two pills mouth-to-mouth!"

Mentioning this, Hua Xueni's face turned red with anger: "I'd rather kill you just thinking about it!"

Long Aotian said: "Wang Tieduo, this is your last chance, kill Lu Chengwen, and I'll spare your life."

Wang Tieduo shouted: "Nonsense! I am loyal to Young Master, with no second thoughts! I've already sworn to follow Young Master Lu Chengwen, and you're talking nonsense!"

Long Aotian was furious, and Lu Chengwen grabbed him: "Big Brother, let's talk in private."

The two walked to one side, and Lu Chengwen said with a smile:

"Big Brother, why are you in such a hurry? It's just fifty billion, right? Just that piece of land? I'll think of a way when I get back. I can't promise more, but I can help you get the land with twenty to thirty billion."

"Are you sure?"

"How can I be sure?" Lu Chengwen said: "In any business deal over a billion, there's no 100% certainty. We just do our best, and the rest depends on timing and circumstances. But with me, it's almost a sure thing. Besides, since we are fellow disciples, I genuinely want to be friends with you. I'm very generous to my subordinates, let alone to my Big Brother."

Long Aotian's eyes darted around: "Since Junior Brother has this mindset, that's good. We can discuss it further."

"Back in Xuecheng, let's find a time to have a drink and a chat, and then we can discuss how to help Big Brother achieve your goals! With my help, the four major families in Xuecheng will be a smooth ride!"

Long Aotian was genuinely moved.

He felt that although Lu Chengwen was cunning, he was willing to spend money.

If he supported him, the pace of merging the other three families would definitely speed up.

If Lu Chengwen was loyal, he could be a useful subordinate, and his business acumen could be utilized.

In the future, he could help him amass wealth in the north, and Long Aotian could reap the benefits.

Even if he wasn't useful later, once the other three families were under control, forming a united front, dealing with this guy would be easy.

His life will eventually be mine!

Thinking this, Long Aotian said: "Junior Brother, to be honest, I have great ambitions. I will unify the four major families in Xuecheng, and even the entire north. If Junior Brother truly supports me, we can work together to conquer the north and become the rulers of this land! When that time comes, everything I have will be shared with Junior Brother!"

"Great!"

Lu Chengwen began to express his admiration for his Big Brother enthusiastically.

They found the road and made a call. An hour later, Zhao Gang arrived with several cars.

The cars drove to a luxury hotel, and everyone was surprised.

Lu Chengwen was in tattered clothes, with bruises and cuts all over his arms, legs, and face.

The hotel manager immediately recognized him: "Mr. Lu!? What happened..."

Lu Chengwen said: "I went bungee jumping, don't ask, where's Jiang Shihan? Didn't I tell her to wait for me here?"

Jiang Shihan immediately ran over with a few people, also surprised: "Mr. Lu? What happened..."

"Don't ask, is the room ready?"

"Everything is prepared, the feast, the wine, and the new clothes you requested..."

"Alright, give me the room card, you can go."

"I can serve you..."

"Not necessary, go."

The immediate crisis was over, but there was still a ticking bomb: Wang Tieduo and his four subordinates.

They arrived at the presidential suite, and everyone was stunned.

In their organization, they couldn't afford such a luxurious suite.

They had fifty billion in funds, but their daily allowance was only a few thousand.

The waiters entered one by one:

"Mr. Lu, this is the lobster that just arrived, twelve thousand each."

"Mr. Lu, this is the king crab you ordered, twenty-three thousand each."

"Mr. Lu, this is the wine you ordered, Chateau d'Yquem, three million per bottle."

"Mr. Lu, this is the top-tier skincare set you ordered..."

The four were amazed.

Is our Young Master so rich!?

That's right, he has fifty billion! He can do whatever he wants!

But wait, he said he's the Young Master of the Lu family, and fifty billion is just a small amount to him. He recently invested five hundred billion!

Rich! So rich!

Lu Chengwen changed into new clothes and came out of the dressing room, and the five were even more impressed.

So handsome!

Lu Chengwen said: "Sit, eat, drink. Don't be polite."

Wang Tieduo laughed: "Then... we won't be polite!"

The five were starving, and they usually had to hand over large sums of money, keeping very little for themselves.

The organization was too greedy!

The control over subordinates was too harsh!

When he had five hundred billion, he had thought more than once about running away with the money.

But he didn't dare.

Now, with the Young Master treating them, why be polite? Let's enjoy it!

The five gobbled up the food, each having a bottle of three-million-yuan wine.

Lu Chengwen sat there, not eating, just sipping his wine and watching them.

Wang Tieduo laughed: "Young Master, you must be hungry too, why aren't you eating?"

"You eat first, then I'll talk to you about something."

"Oh, okay, okay."

The five gobbled up the food, each drinking a lot of wine.

Lu Chengwen ate a little, put down his knife and fork: "Is it good?"

"Um, um, um, very good, very good, this king crab is so tender, especially the meat in the legs, it's so satisfying!"

Lu Chengwen smiled: "Do you want to eat like this every day?"

Wang Tieduo was stunned: "That's impossible, this... is too wasteful. We are grateful to have a meal like this occasionally, we can't waste the Young Master's money."

Lu Chengwen smiled: "Just you five, eat as much as you want, eight meals a day, until you're eighty, you won't make me poor."

The five were stunned: "That's true, the Young Master is rich."

Lu Chengwen said: "Also, from now on, each of you will get a monthly salary of two hundred thousand! Wang Tieduo, five hundred thousand! Is that enough?"

The five's eyes lit up: "Thank you, Young Master! Thank you for your kindness!"

Lu Chengwen continued: "Not only that, I'll buy each of you a property in Xuecheng, and have it transferred to you tomorrow. They are all good houses, worth over five million each."

The five were almost on their knees, bowing.

Lu Chengwen said: "And I'll give each of you a luxury car worth a million, and cover all your expenses every month."

This time, the five really knelt down and bowed.

In other words, each of them would have a job with an annual salary of over two million, and Wang Tieduo would have an annual salary of six million!

And each of them would immediately own a property worth several million.

Moreover, all their daily expenses would be covered, meaning all the money they earned would be theirs, with no expenses!

Such a job, anyone would be overjoyed!

Lu Chengwen said: "There is only one condition, I need you to cut ties with the organization completely!"

The five were stunned for a moment.

Lu Chengwen calmly poured himself a glass of wine and looked at them: "I need you to switch allegiances."
