Consecutive Visits

Chapter 41: Continuous Visitors

"Haha~ Look at me!"

Xiao Cha seemed to have springs on her feet, leaping more than two stories high, bouncing all over the courtyard and stirring up strong winds.

This was only the initial physical enhancement brought by Organ Refining; it would become even more extraordinary as her cultivation deepened.

"Phew~ Fun~"

After bouncing enough, Xiao Cha landed lightly on the ground, looking very pleased.

Then, she seemed to remember something and suddenly shouted, "Hey! You two, stand still and don't move~"

She put her hands into Lu Li and Wan Qing's clothes, pressing them against their chests, and strained her face!

Suddenly, Lu Li felt a tingling current surge into his body from her hands!

His whole body felt like it was immersed in a hot spring, incredibly warm and comfortable!

Wan Qing felt the same and asked in surprise, "Is this the Internal Breath of a martial artist?"

Xiao Cha smiled, revealing her pearly white teeth, "That's right~ Feels good, doesn't it! With this, I can help you two with Bone Forging."

"No!" Wan Qing shook her head.

"Internal Breath is the essence of your five internal organs; you barely have enough for yourself... Please don't give it to me. Just help Young Master Lu."

Xiao Cha waved her hand dismissively, "Don't worry, I have plenty of vital energy~"

Her skin was rosy and lustrous, making people want to take a bite. She was indeed a girl with abundant blood and vital essence.

Just as the three were marveling at the magic of Internal Breath, the door of the medical clinic was knocked upon.

A humble voice rang out, "Master Luo, it's Old Zhong. I've come to see you~"

Xiao Cha opened the door, and the visitor was the middle-aged Patrol Officer from before.

He had a fawning smile on his face and was carrying half a pig, weighing over 50 catties.

In those days, meat was a luxury; one dollar could only buy three catties.

He had brought nearly two months' worth of his salary as a gift, showing considerable sincerity.

Xiao Cha glanced at him, then turned and walked back into the courtyard, saying coldly, "Old Zhong, I don't deserve you visiting. You were quite imposing just now!"

"Oh dear, that was all forced by that scoundrel Qin Chuan!"

Seeing Xiao Cha move aside, Old Zhong's face lit up. He quickly entered the courtyard, cursing Qin Chuan under his breath.

"That villain has a wicked heart and can't stand to see you do well... Fortunately, you have heavenly protection!"

Old Zhong first distanced himself from Qin Chuan, then changed his tone, sighing, "Now that you've refined your organs and made a breakthrough, Head Luo must be immensely pleased in heaven!"

Hearing this, Xiao Cha paused for a moment, then said seriously, "Old Zhong, you worked for my father, so let's not be formal. Follow me diligently, and I'll grant you the position of squad leader!"

A squad leader was a team leader under a captain, managing six men.

Old Zhong was overjoyed, "I will serve you with all my might and will never have any disloyal thoughts!"

He immediately pledged his loyalty, then added, "There's something you should know! That Qin Chuan is gathering Spirit Children for a noble person and has climbed a high branch. You must be wary!"

Xiao Cha's face turned cold, "Tell me in detail!"

Old Zhong quickly explained, "The master of the Wang Family is on his deathbed. He needs to prepare some children to serve him in the afterlife, so he ordered the Tooth Brokerage to handle this matter. Qin Chuan has been working hard to curry favor with the Wang Family."

Old Zhong paused, then got to the main point.

"I fear this villain will use the Wang Family's influence against you. You know... a member of the Wang Family works in the Divine Heart Society!"

As Old Zhong spoke, he bowed deeply towards Lu Li.

In his eyes, Xiao Cha was his patron, and Lu Li was Xiao Cha's patron, so he had to offer a warning.

Lu Li's mind had grown stronger, and his memory had improved accordingly.

Upon hearing "named Wang, works in the Divine Heart Society," he suddenly thought of something.

"What's the name of the person from the Wang Family in the Divine Heart Society?"

Old Zhong hesitated for a long time, unsure, "It's something Wang... Qi..."

"Wang Siqi?"

"Ah, yes, that's him! Does the young master know him?"

"Of course, I know him..."

Lu Li's expression turned strange—this Wang Siqi was that bastard who sold crystal meth!

Old Zhong wasn't surprised; there were only a few cultivators, so it was normal for them to know each other.

At this moment, Xiao Cha cleared her throat and tactfully saw him out, saying, "I know the situation. Keep a close eye on Qin Chuan and report to me immediately if anything comes up."

"Understood! Then I won't disturb you any further. Goodbye."

Old Zhong clasped his hands repeatedly towards Xiao Cha and Lu Li before leaving the medical clinic.

When one is happy, they feel invigorated. Old Zhong walked with a swagger.

"This is my chance to turn things around~"

For those in service, the greatest fear was lacking connections.

Now that he had a patron, and a rather influential one at that, his life would be much more comfortable~

"Right~ I need to remind Captain Luo to pay his respects to [Chief Constable Chen]! We absolutely cannot be disrespectful!"

Old Zhong quickly got into character, starting to consider things for his superior.

However, glancing up at the sky, which was nearing darkness, he reconsidered:

"I'll let it go for today. I'll come back first thing tomorrow morning; it'll seem even more thoughtful~"

Old Zhong noted this down and continued his swaggering walk.

But as he walked, his entire body suddenly froze!

At the entrance of the alley, a middle-aged man with an imposing aura, radiating authority even without anger, was approaching!

"Ch-Chief Constable Chen!"

This was the very Chief Constable he had just been thinking about! The gap between them was too vast; Old Zhong quickly moved to kneel...

But Chief Constable Chen waved his hand, stirring the air into a strong current that held Old Zhong up.

"Enough, no need for formalities when we're not at the yamen. Is Xiao Cha here?"

"Yes, yes, she is..."

Old Zhong stood to the side, feeling constrained, as he watched the Chief Constable head towards the medical clinic.

"He's actually coming to visit a subordinate!!"

Old Zhong was profoundly shocked! But he quickly figured out why the Chief Constable had stooped so low—

"He must be here for Young Master Lu!"

If Young Master Lu also accepted the recruitment and joined the Patrol Bureau, wouldn't he... rise to heaven with him!

Old Zhong grew more excited, continuing his journey in a daze.

But after only a few steps, he nearly collided with a portly gentleman.

"The people from the Patrol Bureau are becoming more and more incompetent."

The man shook his head and also walked in the direction of the medical clinic.

Old Zhong squinted and recognized him: "Jin Chaofeng of the National Martial Arts Association! Such quick news; he's arrived so fast!"

"That's right, the National Martial Arts Association has always wanted to support their own cultivators... Young Master Lu likely won't join the Patrol Bureau then!"

Old Zhong felt conflicted, but then he thought that such matters were not his to worry about. He should hurry home to deliver the good news to his wife and children.

Meanwhile, Lu Li was saying:

"Xiao Cha, help me find out about that Wang Siqi."

"Mm, I know. This person deserves to die."

As the saying goes: one causes as much trouble as they have the ability to handle.

Originally, when they encountered Wang Siqi, they could only avoid him. But now, they could consider getting rid of that scoundrel.

Even Xiao Cha didn't find anything wrong with this; perhaps only a month had passed at most, yet the situation had completely changed.

Xiao Cha sighed inwardly and was about to deal with the pork when the courtyard gate was knocked on again.
