We Are All Very Loyal!

The beggar touched the pustules on his face, his hands trembling uncontrollably, and his words became incoherent:

"I... I promise I won't let him go again. I promise it won't happen again. Please don't kill me, please don't kill me..."

"Don't be afraid, it's just a few bumps," Green Water Beggar laughed. "You're a beggar, which beggar hasn't had bumps before?"

"As long as you work well for me and don't mess things up again, these problems will disappear in no time. Don't you trust what I say?"

The beggar was hoping the pimples on his face would disappear now, but the Green Water Beggar didn't want to listen to him anymore.

A call was being repeated over and over in his ears:

"Great founder of Daoism, I sincerely pray to you that an unwelcome guest has appeared in your territory. I am reporting this to you immediately and am ready to fight for you."

Prayer?

What kind of word is this?

Green Flower frowned, remembering the few disciples of his Daoist sect.

"Keep a close watch here." Green Flower glanced at the beggar, then turned and disappeared.

The beggar sat by the roadside, his body still trembling uncontrollably.

Li Qi.

Goodbye, Li Qi. We absolutely cannot let him escape.

At Boundless Hospital, Wan Jinxian sat in his office, looking at Cui Tike and asking, "What's the matter that you called me here in such a hurry?"

Cui Tike brought over a cup of black tea. "Please come and sit down, senior brother, so we can strengthen our bond as fellow disciples."

Wan Jinxian put his teacup down. "Are you out of your mind? I'm going to the hospital in broad daylight. What am I going to do if someone sees me?"

Cui Tike laughed and said, "What you're saying, senior brother, doesn't make sense. People eat grains and other foods; who doesn't get sick?"

Wan Jinxian retorted angrily, "I Disease Cultivator, how could I Yi Sheng?"

Cui Tike pursed his lips and said, "That makes a lot of sense. I'll try to choose a more suitable meeting place next time."

"There won't be a next time!" Wan Jinxian angrily. "This time, make yourself clear. What exactly do you want from me?"

"Yesterday you came to see me and told me that a special person had come to Green Water City, the young man who always wears White Clothes. You also told He Jiaqing this important news."

I believe what you're saying is true, but I still don't understand why this person in White Clothes came here.

Wan Jinxian said impatiently, "I told you, he's from Sage Peak. He caused us trouble before, and this time he's probably here for us too."

Cui Tike held his teacup, took a sip, and asked, "What kind of trouble is it again?"

"You have a bad memory. I told you exactly what happened. He almost killed Shen Rongqing at the Lotus Pond Teahouse. You know who Shen Rongqing is, right?"

Cui Tike took another sip of tea, pondered for a long time, and shook his head. "I know who Shen Rongqing is. She is a very talented woman, but I feel that the man in White Clothes did not come for Shen Rongqing this time, nor for you."

Wan Jinxian sneered, "You don't even know who the man in White Clothes is, yet you can guess who he's here for?"

"This is indeed hard to predict. I saw on the street that Carefree Dock was recruiting people to go to new land to reclaim wasteland. I found it interesting and wanted to go and see what the fuss was about."

In the crowd, I think I saw the boy in White Clothes you described. I'm not sure if it's him, but his clothes, appearance, and age match your description perfectly.

Beside him was another important figure, whom I didn't recognize, but whose cultivation was extremely high. If it weren't for the power of the patriarch, I probably wouldn't have even been able to see them.

I feel like I recognize this important person, but I suspect I'm mistaken, so I wanted to ask you to confirm.

Wan Jinxian didn't want to hear Cui Tike say anything more; he just wanted to leave the hospital as soon as possible. "I didn't even see those two people you saw, and you don't even recognize them yourself. How am I supposed to verify this for you?"

Cui Tike pressed his palm down. "Senior brother, sit down first, don't be so impatient. It's really difficult for you to verify by yourself. I also found someone to come and verify with us."

Wan Jinxian's pupils contracted. "What do you mean by that?"

Cui Tike answered frankly, "I've told this man what you told me. When he arrives, we'll analyze the White Clothes man's intentions together."

Wan Jinxian flew into a rage. "You told someone else the information I gave you? And you even sent that person to find me? Are you trying to get me killed?"

"Senior brother, calm down," Cui Tike advised. "This person is not an outsider."

Wan Jinxian shoved Cui Tike aside and roared, "I don't care who he is! If he dares to show his face in front of me, I'll kill him!"

As soon as he finished speaking, Green Water Beggar appeared in front of Wan Jinxian.

Wan Jinxian looked at the beggar in front of him.

He was covered in boils, from which green pus oozed.

Wan Jinxian had never met the Green Water Beggar before, but at this moment he could guess the other party's identity.

Green Water Beggar looked at Wan Jinxian and said, "You want to kill me?"

Wan Jinxian took a breath and calmly replied, "No."

After saying that, he lay down on the ground, trying to maintain a kneeling posture, but his knees were trembling and he couldn't kneel up, so he just kept lying there.

Cui Tike was much more composed, after all, it wasn't their first meeting.

He was about to bow to the Green Water Beggar when the Green Water Beggar waved his hand and said, "No need. Speak, what do you want with me?"

"My senior brother saw a person in Green Water City, dressed in White Clothes, who came from Sage Peak. I also saw this person..." Cui Tike recounted the events.

After listening, Green Flower frowned and asked, "Are you talking about Zhong Huaien on Sage Peak? Why do you insist on telling me this?"

Cui Tike replied, "To demonstrate my loyalty to the Grandmaster."

Green Flower laughed upon hearing this, "Where is your loyalty? Can I see it?"

"I can see it!" Cui Tike unbuttoned his shirt, revealing a tattoo on his chest—"I love the Grandmaster."

If it weren't for the Green Water Beggar right in front of him, Wan Jinxian laughed out loud.

What's the point of showing this thing off, you lunatic?

"Very good," Green Water Beggar nodded in satisfaction, then turned to Wan Jinxian, "And you? Are you loyal to me?"

What should we do?

Wan Jinxian was dumbfounded.

He has no tattoos.

"My loyalty to the Grandmaster is in my heart!" Although the answer was not very fluent, it was the best answer Wan Jinxian could think of.

"Is that so? Let me see what your heart looks like." With a wave of his hand, Green Water Beggar sent a patch of green pus onto Wan Jinxian 'Wan Jinxian chest, where it disappeared into his skin and seeped into his chest cavity.

Wan Jinxian clutched his chest, feeling as if countless creatures were wandering and roaming within his chest cavity.

"Grandmaster, spare me! I have been loyal to you forever!" Wan Jinxian pleaded with difficulty.

"Hehehe~" Green Flower squatted down in front of Wan Jinxian, carefully looking at Wan Jinxian's face, "Your face is white, but I think your heart is black. You don't seem to be that loyal."

"I am loyal!" Wan Jinxian couldn't think of any other words.

"I believe you," Green Water Beggar patted Wan Jinxian's head. "I'm giving you a task: find out Zhong Huaien's purpose in coming here. It shouldn't be too difficult, right?"

"Disciple, I will do my best!"

"You'll do your best?" Green Water Beggar was not satisfied with this answer. "If this matter is not accomplished, you will lose your life."

Wan Jinxian didn't know how to answer.

Green Water Beggar stood up, looked at Cui Tike, and said, "You're the same. Although you're very loyal, I despise loyal but useless people."

Tell me first, besides demonstrating loyalty, what other purpose do you have in contacting me?

Cui Tike answered truthfully, "I crave power."

The Green Water Beggar frowned and said, "I'm having a hard time understanding you. You want cultivation, right?"

Cui Tike nodded and said, "I long for my Grandmaster to grant me a higher level of cultivation."

"What do you want to achieve by cultivating higher levels? Do you want a longer lifespan?"

Cui Tike shook his head and said, "I'm not trying to prolong my own life; I'm trying to shorten the lives of others."

Green Flower stared at Cui Tike for a moment. "You and I are quite similar. I'll give you a task. Go to Blue Poplar Village and find a beggar on the road to the new land. Watch him and see what he does. If he gets killed or kills someone else, tell me immediately."

Cui Tike asked, "What are the distinctive features of this beggar?"

"He doesn't have any distinctive features, just like an ordinary beggar, but you can definitely recognize him because I left a mark on his face."

"How high is his cultivation level?"

"Not on the ground, but Cloud Above First Layer."

"Grandmaster, I dare not negotiate with you, but if his cultivation level is in the Cloud Realm, I'm afraid I won't be able to complete the task of monitoring him."

"I'll help you. Didn't you want power? Here you go! Hold out your hand." Green Flower touched Cui Tike's palm, and some tiny creatures burrowed into Cui Tike's flesh.

"Thank you for the bestowal, Grandmaster!" Cui Tike bowed again.

Green Flower looked at the two of them and nodded, saying, "My disciples, perhaps I shouldn't have killed you all. You might still be of some use."

After saying that, the Green Water Beggar disappeared.

Wan Jinxian scrambled to his feet, grabbed Cui Tike, and said, "You damned foreign devil, you've summoned the Grandmaster?"

Cui Tike said, "Senior brother, don't get so agitated. I was just using the power left to us by our Grandmaster to offer him a prayer."

You also have his power within you, which is the herpes I left you. This power is extremely strong. As long as you concentrate your mind on the herpes, you can also connect with the Grandmaster.

"That's not what I'm asking!" Wan Jinxian retorted angrily. "Why did you summon the Grandmaster?"

"I'm doing this to help you, senior brother. I know you also want to become stronger. Aren't you following He Jiaqing also for greater power?"

"I follow him for the new Pro State!"

Cui Tike shook his head and said, "You can deceive me, but you can't deceive yourself."

You obeyed a young person's orders in order to become stronger.

The power He Jiaqing gives you is ultimately limited, Grandmaster can give you boundless power. Join me in embracing the Grandmaster!

After saying that, Cui Tike took out a needle.

Wan Jinxian was startled. "What are you going to do?"

Cui Tike said calmly, "Relax. I want to leave you a tattoo that says 'I love the Grandmaster,' so that you can prove your loyalty to him the next time you see Grandmaster."

"Bullshit!" Wan Jinxian shoved Cui Tike away.

Cui Tike wasn't angry. "Senior brother, let me give you a heads-up. If you want to find the White Clothes youth and his friends, go to Carefree Dock. They seem to be waiting for someone outside Carefree Dock."

Wan Jinxian stumbled and staggered to the gate of Carefree Dock. Cui Tike was right; he saw the person he was looking for, the White Clothes youth, Zhong Huaien.

What is he doing in Carefree Dock? Is he looking for Li Qi and Ma Wu?

Beside him was a man wearing a gray-white overcoat and a gray-white top hat. From behind, Wan Jinxian looked somewhat familiar.

He occasionally chatted with the White Clothes youth beside him. Wan Jinxian stared at his profile for a long time but still couldn't figure out who the other person was.

People were coming and going all around, but they couldn't see the two people.

Logically speaking, Wan Jinxian shouldn't be able to see them either. The man's cultivation level was very high, and he concealed the White Clothes youth and his own figure.

However, Wan Jinxian's body retained the power of the Green Water Beggar, which allowed him to see the two people and also enabled him to successfully hide himself.

The two spoke very softly, Wan Jinxian could barely hear some of their conversation.

"Mister Chu, you don't need to stay here. I'll have the Qingshou Association people come and keep an eye on things."

"The Qingshou Association people might not be up to the task. Let's wait and see. I feel it's about time."

As they were speaking, the White Clothes youth Zhong Huaien, suddenly glanced at Wan Jinxian.

Wan Jinxian thought he had been exposed, so he quickly hid in the distance.

Actually, Zhong Huaien didn't see Wan Jinxian Chu Huaiyuan; he saw Chu Huaiyuan.

Chu Huaiyuan led a dozen or so people from the street corner to Carefree Dock.

Zhong Huaien asked the man, "Mister Chu, would you like to go over and take a look?"

The man paused for a moment and then said, "I'll go take a look. You wait here."

PS: Apart from the saint, the White Clothes youth was arrogant to everyone, but he addressed this man as Mister Chu, which was quite rare for him to show such respect.
