Xu Long turned a blind eye to the tragic state of Wealth and Honor Village. He could save one or two people, but he couldn't save more than that.
This is beyond his capabilities!
After walking for a while, Xu Long heard shouts.
Looking up, I saw a group of beggars huddled together, frantically grabbing something.
"If nothing unexpected happens, this should be the richest person in the Number One Under Heaven, Wan Sanqian."
Xu Long thought to himself, knowing the plot well, he naturally knew who the wealthy person who would come here at this time would be.
Xu Long quickly threw all the beggars out, then pulled the man up; it was indeed Wan Sanqian.
Are you alright?
Xu Long asked.
"Thank goodness, thank you for your help!"
Wan Sanqian grabbed Xu Long's hand and stood up, saying, "Brother, what is your name? I am Wan Laosan. Please have a drink!"
My name is Cheng Shifei!
Xu Long nodded, and then he and Wan Sanqian walked and talked.
"I came here to find someone. A fortune teller told me that a destined person is in Wealth and Honor Village. As long as I come here, I'm sure I'll meet them."
Wan Sanqian was full of confidence. His information came from the Number One Under Heaven fortune teller. He was looking for Haitang, the goddaughter of the Iron Courage Divine Marquis, who was also the master of the Number One Under Heaven Manor, the Mystic Number One of the Dragon Guardian Villa.
"I'm also looking for someone, but unlike Brother Wan, I'm looking for a dead person, someone who's been dead for who knows how many years."
Xu Long sighed. Finding the Strange Hero of Heavenly Lake would require a very powerful intelligence network.
We can't count on the Dragon Guardian Villa, but if Wan Sanqian is willing to help, there might be a chance.
After all, although Wan Sanqian's skill was far inferior to that of Iron Courage Divine Marquis, he was rich.
The Dragon Guardian Villa and the Number One Under Heaven Manor can operate normally is thanks to the donation of Wan Sanqian.
Many exceptional talents are unwilling to go to the Number One Under Heaven Manor, but instead work for Wan Sanqian, precisely because Wan Sanqian can provide them with what they desire.
For example, even the Iron Courage Divine Marquis couldn't persuade Zhang Jinjiu, the Number One Under Heaven detective.
But if Wan Sanqian could find the Number One Under Heaven, Zhang Jinjiu would agree to do his bidding.
As for using force to coerce or force compliance, just think about it.
These are all exceptional individuals; we shouldn't offend them lightly, because we might need their help in the future.
"A dead man?"
Wan Sanqian was very puzzled. He had seen all kinds of people, men and women, old people and children.
What's the deal with looking for a dead person?
How can you find someone who's already dead?
spiritualism?
My master!
Xu Long nodded. "Before my master died, he instructed me to take his ashes to the place where my grandmaster passed away for burial. But my master died too suddenly, and he passed away before he could clearly explain the exact location."
"I see. That's a real shame."
Wan Sanqian didn't ask any further questions; asking too much about such private matters could easily offend people.
Although Wealth and Honor Village was dirt poor, it still had some trades.
When Xu Long and Wan Sanqian arrived at the restaurant, the owner was busy preparing the food.
"Here it is! Boss, five catties of braised pork, two bowls of noodles, and two side dishes, please."
After finding a place to sit down, Wan Sanqian immediately began to greet them.
He was starving after traveling for so long.
Without bothering to be polite with Xu Long, he immediately began to wolf down the food after it was served.
"This meat is cooked quite well!"
Xu Long praised the food as he ate, saying that although there were few seasonings, the taste was excellent.
When people are hungry, everything tastes delicious.
"That's true!"
Xu Long nodded, then continued eating.
They had only taken a few bites when two people came over.
One had shifty eyes and a sycophantic, servile look. The other was burly and fierce-looking.
" Third Master Bao, where would you like to sit?"
The lackey, looking like a lapdog, asked the burly, muscular Third Master Bao.
Third Master Bao didn't answer, but instead went to Xu Long and Wan Sanqian's side.
"Um?"
With one foot on the stool, Third Master Bao's eyes widened and his eyebrows raised, looking like he wanted to devour someone.
An ordinary person might be frightened if they saw this.
After all, this Third Master Bao looked fierce and menacing; he didn't look like a good person at all.
But in Xu Long, he was nothing but a clown.
"Hey bro, are your eyes bothering you?"
Wan Sanqian was trembling and looked extremely nervous.
He's now pretending to be an ordinary traveler, without any martial arts skills, so this reaction is perfectly normal.
"Roll!"
Upon hearing Wan Sanqian's words, Third Master Bao roared angrily, his breath so foul that Xu Long immediately wanted to take off his shoes and compare whose smell was more authentic.
" Third Master Bao, Third Master Bao calm down. This gentleman is new here and doesn't know the rules. Please be magnanimous and don't take it to heart."
Seeing the situation, the waiter immediately ran over, apologizing to Third Master Bao while saying to Wan Sanqian, "Sir, please sit over there!"
"You see Third Master Bao and you'd better get out of the way! What are you!"
The lackey next to him chimed in, and judging from his arrogant and domineering manner, anyone who didn't know better would think he was the Third Master Bao!
"Let's go eat over there."
Not wanting to stoop to this person's level, Xu Long and Wan Sanqian carried the food to another table.
Not long after Third Master Bao and his lackey sat down, another burly man walked in.
The other person seemed to be a bully; when they saw him come in, everyone else ran outside in terror.
"Second Brother!"
" Second Master Hu!"
Seeing this person approaching, Third Master Bao and his henchman quickly went to greet him.
"Second brother, sit here!"
Seeing everyone flee in terror, Second Master Hu was very satisfied.
His gaze swept around, and when he saw Wan Sanqian and Xu Long still eating, a look of displeasure appeared on his face. "This isn't a good spot, let's go sit over there!"
As soon as he finished speaking, Second Master Hu Er stepped onto Wan Sanqian's stool.
"Roll!"
"Ah?"
Wan Sanqian was completely bewildered, having no idea what was going on.
Afterwards, the waiter came over and took him outside the inn to eat.
"What kind of mess is this?!"
Wan Sanqian also has a good temper, or perhaps he's just a very convincing actor, perfectly portraying the timidity and cowardice of ordinary people.
There are some people in this world who are like mangy dogs. The more you give in, the more they take advantage. Conversely, if you teach them a lesson they won't hesitate, they'll become incredibly obedient.
Xu Long sighed, his words carrying a pointed meaning, "But then again, I still feel that survival is the most important thing. If we're confident of victory, there's absolutely no need to back down. But if we know we can't win, then it's better to play it safe."
" Brother Cheng is right! If I knew martial arts, I would definitely teach him a lesson!"
Wan Sanqian looked up and said something, then continued to wolf down his food.
