The next day, Jiang Junyi headed to White Court under Uncle Wu's guidance.
At that moment, he was both excited and nervous, unsure what White Court was really like.
The luxury car slowly came to a stop. After straightening his clothes, Jiang Junyi opened the door.
The moment he stood still...
His heart instantly went cold.
Jiang Junyi turned expressionlessly to Uncle Wu and pointed at a signboard.
"You mean this Shopping City called Baiting Street is the Jiang Family's hidden force?"
Uncle Wu bowed slightly. "Yes, Young Master."
"As the saying goes, the greatest concealment lies in the marketplace. Every shop along this street belongs to our Baiting Force."
Jiang Junyi's mouth twitched. He pointed in another direction. "What about that old man guarding the entrance?"
Uncle Wu glanced at the old man by the entrance, wearing a white undershirt and fanning himself. "Oh, not him."
"He is..."
"That's fine, then." Jiang Junyi did not wait for Uncle Wu to finish.
He was already here, so he might as well take a look.
What else could he do?
He sighed softly and walked down the street.
Behind him, Uncle Wu opened his mouth. He had wanted to explain that the man was not part of the Baiting Force, but one of the Heavenly Kings who protected the Jiang Family.
Then he reconsidered. Since the Young Master had asked, he must have noticed the old man's extraordinary nature...
So he quickly followed Jiang Junyi.
As Jiang Junyi approached, the old man at the entrance looked up.
"Well now, a mighty fine young stud has come along."
Jiang Junyi froze for a moment, then nodded. "Hello, sir."
"Quite polite, too. Got yourself a girlfriend?" the old man asked with a smile, fanning himself.
"Uh, I suppose so."
"Good, good. Go on in and have some fun."
Jiang Junyi answered him, then finally walked into Baiting Street.
Uncle Wu bowed slightly to the old man.
The old man waved his fan, indicating that no words were needed.
Looking at the dazzling street filled with all kinds of goods and scents, Jiang Junyi felt a little overwhelmed.
"Uncle Wu, how do I call people over?"
Uncle Wu pointed at a Newsstand in the middle. "Young Master, show the Tiger Tally there, and any request will be handled."
Jiang Junyi nodded in realization, then walked up to the Newsstand.
"Ahem."
The middle-aged woman inside the Newsstand, who was eating sunflower seeds, looked up at Jiang Junyi. "What is it? Got something stuck in your throat?"
Jiang Junyi's mouth twitched as he took out the Tiger Tally.
The woman narrowed her eyes, then put on a pair of reading glasses and adjusted them. She examined it carefully. "Court Master?"
"That's right!" Jiang Junyi looked pleased. He had finally revealed his identity!
"Oh, Jiang Wudao's little brat passed the Tiger Tally to you? Tell me what you need." The woman only glanced at it once before continuing to eat sunflower seeds.
Jiang Junyi was somewhat stunned. At that moment, he finally understood why his father had handed this organization over to him!
Even the woman at the Newsstand called his father a little brat!
Jiang Junyi sighed as though resigned to his fate. "Ma'am, it's like this..."
After hearing him out, the woman looked at Jiang Junyi with interest. "Couldn't tell, but you're quite the devoted romantic, kid."
"Alright, come with me."
The woman put down her sunflower seeds and stepped out of the Newsstand.
She led Jiang Junyi from shop to shop, and what followed was Jiang Junyi watching her throw her weight around.
"Hey! Old Wang! Is your boy busy right now?"
"Alright, if he's free, have him get ready to join this group and give it a try."
"Old Liang, I remember your girl's still lazing around at home, right?"
"Good, tell her to get out and move around. Young people can't stay cooped up at home all the time."
Jiang Junyi watched as the woman went from shop to shop, casually gathering seven people as though chatting with neighbors.
"That should be enough. Any more, and that organization of your girlfriend's might have trouble handling them. Besides, the people I picked for you are absolutely reliable!"
The woman looked proud as she made her guarantee.
"Mm, I believe you, Auntie." Jiang Junyi nodded earnestly.
Hearing Jiang Junyi change the way he addressed her, the woman smiled happily. "You don't know this, but I held you when you were little. I even washed your butt because you pooped..."
"Hey, hey, hey! Auntie! I still have something to do! I'll be going!" Hearing about his childhood embarrassment, Jiang Junyi hurriedly cut her off before running away in a flash.
Watching Jiang Junyi's retreating figure, the woman's face showed a hint of nostalgia.
"Before I knew it, Wudao's son has grown this big."
She looked at Uncle Wu. "Little Wu, you've grown old too."
Uncle Wu smiled. "Yes, but Aunt Zhao hasn't changed at all. You're still just as young."
"You rascal!" Aunt Zhao rolled her eyes at Uncle Wu with a smile. "Protect him well."
"Rest assured."
From afar—"Uncle Wu! Hurry up and come on!"
Uncle Wu bowed, then hurried toward him.
At that moment, the owners of every shop on Baiting Street could not help but look toward that spirited young figure in the distance...
