Third Brother, I Know You've Always Dreamed of Being a Mountain Bandit King

"Young Master, just shut up already! The news that Xiao Lang became a Dou Practitioner overnight spread throughout Wutan City yesterday, and many people in the Jia Ma Empire even know about it! You, a mere five-stage Dou Disciple, calling him trash is basically suicidal!"

The guard beside the speaker immediately covered Galeo's mouth, saying with a troubled expression.

When will my young master's suicidal tendencies ever change?

Being his guard is truly a thankless task!

"Became a Dou Practitioner overnight? Are you kidding me? Do you think I'm..." Galeo trailed off, but upon seeing everyone frantically signaling him, he immediately shut his mouth.

"Think you're what?" Xiao Lang immediately used the God-Tier Disguise Technique to boost his aura to that of a Dou Practitioner, coldly sweeping his gaze over Galeo.

This was also one of the reasons Xiao Lang was willing to exchange for the God-Tier Disguise Technique; it could also disguise his aura to match a certain realm, even a Dou God's aura!

When others were unaware, this was a great life-saving skill!

"Think I'm a little cutie."

Galeo immediately changed his tune, smiling obsequiously.

"With your ugly mug, you think you're a little cutie? Don't disgust me. You dared to call me trash? If you don't want me to break three of your legs, three thousand gold coins will be the price for your legs."

Xiao Lang originally intended to leave, but given his personality, if he were truly a Dou Practitioner, he definitely wouldn't just walk away after being provoked.

If he really left, Galeo would definitely become suspicious.

"Heh, do you think I, Galeo, am easily scared? So what if you're a Dou Practitioner? My two guards are also Dou Practitioners. Do you dare lay a hand on me?" Galeo said arrogantly.

"Two three-star Dou Practitioners, how impressive. Do you really think my Xiao family has no one?" Just then, Xiao Li and Xiao Ding walked out from the crowd.

"Third Brother, are you alright?" Xiao Ding asked.

"I'm fine, what could happen to me?" Xiao Lang shrugged indifferently.

"I was asking if they are alright." Xiao Ding revealed a mischievous smile.

"..."

Xiao Lang's mouth twitched. His honest and kind elder brother had also become mischievous. Why was this happening?

"I... I only have over two thousand gold coins."

Galeo, seeing Xiao Ding and Xiao Li appear, became a little timid, as Xiao Li was known for his ruthless methods.

"It's fine, then buy two legs. You don't need the one in the middle anyway, and it's small, so you can just do without it."

Saying this, Xiao Lang revealed an evil smile and slowly walked over.

"I'll pay! I'll pay!"

Galeo immediately panicked.

If he got his legs broken, how would he still have fun?

"Can I pay in installments? I really didn't bring that much gold on me. This card only has two thousand three hundred gold coins." Galeo said pleadingly.

"Damn it!" Hearing the word "installments," Xiao Lang's temper flared. He stepped forward and slapped Galeo hard, saying, "Only I, Xiao Lang, ever get credit from others. No one has ever dared to get credit from me. I think you're tired of living."

"Don't you still have your two guards? They can surely pool together seven or eight hundred gold coins, right?" Xiao Lang said, looking at the two guards beside Galeo.

"..."

The two guards never expected that they, mere nameless extras, would be extorted.

Do you have any morals?

Do you have any public decency?

Aren't you afraid of me guilt-tripping you?

Finally, under Galeo's threats and inducements, they reluctantly each took out three hundred and fifty gold coins, totaling three thousand gold coins.

Xiao Lang pocketed the three thousand gold coins with satisfaction before following Xiao Ding and Xiao Li back to the Xiao family.

"What? Eldest Brother, Second Brother, you're leaving tomorrow?"

Chatting as they walked, Xiao Lang couldn't help but feel a sense of reluctance when he heard that Xiao Li and Xiao Ding would be going out for training tomorrow.

Over the years in the Xiao family, Xiao Ding and Xiao Li had taken the most care of him. Because Xiao Zhan had to manage all the family's affairs, the two of them naturally took on the role of elder brothers acting as fathers.

"Yes, we've both come of age this year, and it's time for us to venture out. Plus, Big Brother and I have always dreamed of founding a mercenary group, and now is the time to make it happen."

Xiao Li also looked at Xiao Lang with some reluctance.

"Yes, to become an eagle soaring in the sky, one must first learn to fly on their own. Xiao Yan will be entrusted to you from now on. Take good care of your younger brother." Xiao Ding also patted Xiao Lang's head, reluctant to part.

"Since that's the case, I have two cards here. One has two hundred and twenty thousand on it. Consider it seed money for your mercenary group."

Xiao Lang took out two green cards and handed them to the two brothers respectively.

However, Xiao Ding and Xiao Li did not take them. Instead, they looked at Xiao Lang in surprise and asked, "Does the family have any idiots lending you money?"

"..."

Xiao Lang's mouth twitched. Why was borrowing money from me considered being an idiot?

"No," Xiao Lang shook his head.

"No? Don't tell me you went out to borrow money?"

Hearing Xiao Lang say no, Xiao Li immediately looked at him with a serious expression and said, "Brother, I know you have a bit of a mental illness, but it's one thing if it acts up at home. If you borrowed money from outside, it would bring a lot of trouble to the family and Father."

"Wait, what do you mean I have a bit of a mental illness? I'm perfectly normal, alright?" Xiao Lang said speechlessly. "Besides, I didn't borrow this money, it was me..."

"Robbing is even more wrong!" Xiao Ding immediately chimed in. "Third Brother, I know you've had a dream of being a bandit king since you were young... ambition... dream... Pfft, forget it, you know what I mean, but this is wrong."

"Cough, cough, while what you two said is not bad, you've truly wronged him about this money. I'm the one who lent it to him."

Just then, Xiao Zhan walked over. Looking at Xiao Lang, he said with relief, "I didn't expect you to borrow money twice. The first time was for your brother, and the second time was for your brother. Miao'er, your father truly misunderstood you. You are not sick!"

"..."

Xiao Lang was completely stunned.

What was this damn feeling of being understood?

He wasn't sick in the first place!

He really couldn't clear his name even if he jumped into the Yellow River.

"Hmm? Wait, why has your aura returned to Three Stages of Dou Power?" Xiao Zhan suddenly felt Xiao Lang's strength weaken again and asked in shock.

"Uh... if I told you I just went out and discovered the path I enlightened last night was a detour, and I turned back, would you believe me?" Xiao Lang gave an awkward smile.

"Then can I withdraw my investment?"

Xiao Zhan thought about how he had just said fifty thousand was an investment for Xiao Lang at noon, only for the other party to revert to Three Stages of Dou Qi that afternoon.

Is this how you repay my investment?
