Chapter 115 Jiangbao's Righteousness

Jiangbao Elder, sleeves rolled up, was just about to unleash a set of Dragon Subduing Eighteen Palms on this grandson with no blood relation when he heard the words and involuntarily interrupted his starting stance.

"Yuanshi Tianzun invited you to join his gang?" The old man frowned.

Hongji, the Rooster Brother, nodded repeatedly.

"He sent me a message last night, saying that the gang was one person short of being able to open the gang dungeon. He wanted to pull me in to make up the numbers, enter the dungeon to level up together, and if I wanted to leave the gang afterwards, I could do so at any time."

"I came to Grandpa for congee today because I wanted to ask for your opinion." Rooster Brother wasn't very smart, but he wasn't an idiot. Joining a gang was a very important and serious matter for a Lingjing Xingzhe (Spirit Realm Walker).

He admired Yuanshi Tianzun and thought he was a friend he could confide in, but he also represented Jiangbao Elder. Now that Yuanshi Tianzun had offended headquarters, joining the "Wangzhu Guilai" gang would be seen by some at headquarters as Jiangbao Elder openly supporting Yuanshi Tianzun.

Rooster Brother himself didn't care, but he had to consider Jiangbao Elder's position.

Jiangbao Elder sat back at the table, picked up his bowl, and drank the congee, saying, "Little Xu, what do you think?" Standing in the hall was a middle-aged man in a suit and leather shoes, Jiangbao Elder's secretary, mainly responsible for handling branch affairs. His profession was Swordsman.

High-level Fire Masters liked to find Sentinels to be their secretaries. On the one hand, fire countered metal, giving them a natural advantage in controlling them. On the other hand, Sentinels were obedient, disciplined, and perceptive and rational, which made up for the shortcomings of the Fire Master's nature.

The relationship between a secretary and a leader was one of shared glory and shared loss. It was destined from birth. If the leader needed money, the secretary would try to get it. If the leader wanted abalone, the secretary would prepare a grand feast. If the leader wanted to sleep with a female subordinate, the secretary would work hard to pimp. If the secretary was a woman, it would be even easier, and she'd throw herself into his arms in minutes.

Standing to the side, Secretary Wang slowly stepped forward, bowing and whispering, "Elder, last year you pointed at the Grand Elder Dihong's secretary and cursed him over the funding issue. At that time, you also contradicted Elder Jin. At this year's headquarters meeting, you publicly expressed your dissatisfaction with headquarters, saying that generals in the field are not bound by their sovereign's commands, implying that they were interfering too much."

"I wasn't implying, I was saying it directly," Jiangbao Elder said proudly, pointing at him.

The secretary gave a wry smile. "You are one of the ten main elders at headquarters. They intend to replace you. They think you don't obey the organization and don't abide by organizational discipline. At this juncture, I don't recommend you get involved with Yuanshi Tianzun. Anyone with eyes can see that he has offended headquarters, and the Alliance Leader doesn't care about things."

The secretary paused and added, "Besides, the Alliance Leader will support him, but he won't support you."

Jiangbao Elder slurped his congee. "What kind of person is he?"

Secretary Wang said, "I'll collect his information for you right away. I'll have someone send it over within five minutes."

Jiangbao Elder waved his hand. "No need. Hongji, you're familiar with that kid. You tell me."

"That kid is especially loyal, oh no, that kid is simply Guan Yu reborn, righteous and generous. Qin Hui reborn is a treacherous old fox who won't have a good end," Rooster Brother said proudly, puffing out his chest. "Grandpa, is that elegant enough? Is it cultured enough?"

Have you gotten their permission to put Guan Yu and Qin Hui together? Secretary Xu shook his head and smiled. "Then join," Jiangbao Elder said.

Secretary Xu was stunned, his expression freezing. He took a few steps forward and frowned. "Elder, please think twice. This is a special period. Don't create unnecessary complications."

Jiangbao Elder waved his hand. "Hongji, what's the most important thing in the martial world?"

"Of course, it's loyalty!" Rooster Brother immediately said fluently, "In the martial world, first, you have to be worthy of the boss, second, you have to be worthy of your brothers, and third, you can't touch your boss's wife."

Jiangbao Elder looked at Secretary Xu and said, "Understand?"

Secretary Xu gave a wry smile. "Not really."

"That's why you're not cut out for the martial world. You're just a secretary for me," Jiangbao Elder said casually as he slurped his congee.

"I've been in the martial world since I was sixteen. The reason I've survived until now isn't because I can fight, it's because of loyalty. Hongji's father blocked a knife for me because he was loyal."

Rooster Brother slammed the table. "Grandpa raised me because Grandpa is loyal."

Secretary Xu frowned and asked tentatively, "So, in the martial world, Yuanshi Tianzun is loyal, so he won't mistreat Hongji?"

"Brothers who are loyal can trade their lives for each other. That's more important than anything else, right, Grandpa?" Rooster Brother said, "We in the martial world only care about loyalty."

"Don't ask me about this kind of thing next time."

"Okay, Grandpa, then I'm going to the dungeon today."

"Drink your congee, drink your congee. Even if the sky falls, you have to wait until you finish your congee."

In Fujiawan, Zhang Yuanqing stood under the showerhead, enjoying the strong torrent of cold raindrops washing over his body, flowing down his muscular frame, as if washing away the restlessness and unease in his heart.

He raised his head, letting the cold water pour over his cheeks, raised his hand to his forehead, and activated his insidious and cunning persona.

"I'm definitely on Ling Tuo's chessboard. He hasn't made a move yet, which means the time hasn't come. Back then, the Demon Lord also safely advanced to the Dominator Realm, and even drank the level nine Dominator potion."

This was a good thing, indicating that Ling Tuo would definitely deal with him at the Saint level. He still had time.

But it was also a bad thing, because even at his peak as a Dominator, the Demon Lord still couldn't escape his fate of death.

"The Grand Yi Sect Master is also an insider. Ling Tuo is targeting the Demon Lord, so how could that strongest Night Wanderer of the time ignore the Demon Lord? Now that Ling Tuo is targeting me, there must also be a 'Yuanshi Tianzun' piece in the Grand Yi Sect Master's chessboard. Ling Tuo and the Sect Master are father and son, so the Sect Master is my protector, at least someone I can win over. These are good things."

"The shard of the Radiance Compass isn't on me. Master Wuhen has already examined it. That's also a good thing."

When the Demon Lord died, that mysterious person who invested in him was present. Brother Bing handed over the Demon Lord's belongings to me, so the mysterious person couldn't not know. Then he must be watching me in secret, and that's also my help. Who exactly is he?

Various thoughts surfaced one after another, his brain rapidly processing information.

After weighing everything, Zhang Yuanqing came to the conclusion that he was temporarily safe in the midst of the power struggles.

He was like an ant in a high-dimensional space, proudly rampaging around, but in reality, above his head, a group of high-dimensional humans were coldly observing this weak ant.

A human finger might press down sooner or later, when they felt the time was right.

Therefore, he was temporarily safe, but once the time came, it would be a demigod-level terrifying killing intent. "Damn it, I suddenly miss the life of playing games with Little Aunt every night, being a craftsman in the dead of night. Although going to school every day was boring, at least it was easy," Zhang Yuanqing sighed faintly.

He didn't even have time to have a proper relationship with Guan Ya. Shopping, traveling, watching movies, these activities that couples should have, were all cut short as much as possible. He could only compensate her well at night, saying some sweet words. He was almost just a running buddy.

Sigh, what's the deal with this?

Despite the complaints, he still had to return to reality. He turned off the showerhead, walked out of the bathroom wrapped in a towel, and opened the gang member list. "Huh, why hasn't that idiot Rooster Brother accepted the invitation yet?"

He said to Guan Ya, who was sitting across the table wiping her Qiao sword, "Don't you know what your friend is like?" Guan Ya said unhappily.

She had changed into an exquisite and concise combat uniform: women's combat boots, camouflage military pants, a dark green vest, and a nano-short jacket with a little defensive function.

Tall, sexy, and heroic, paired with her exquisite mixed-race appearance and wavy hair, she was extremely beautiful.

"Hey, why are you putting on makeup? You're going to the dungeon, not competing for beauty," Zhang Yuanqing said.

Guan Ya immediately showed a dangerous cold smile. "Of course, it's to meet your harem."

"Don't be sarcastic. I haven't even become a demigod yet. Where would I get a harem?" Zhang Yuanqing accidentally said what was on his mind.

Before Guan Ya's eyebrows could furrow and she could throw a tantrum, he hugged his girlfriend, who was several years older than him, onto the table and kissed her wildly, calling her good sister and good wife. Guan Ya was happy in her heart, hummed a few times, and forgave him.

She had always been more indulgent towards this younger boyfriend.

In the main character's team chat, Zhao Cheng Huang said, "When are we going to the dungeon? That Rooster Brother doesn't seem to have entered the dungeon yet."

The group was immediately filled with ellipses. A Fire Master, so unreliable?

Zhang Yuanqing had a deep understanding of this treasure of a man, Rooster Brother. At the Battle of Yashan, when his life was almost gone, he was still thinking about his chicken soup.

Growing up with such an old man, the fact that he didn't stop to say he wanted to make a bowl of seafood fish soup while fighting a boss was already remarkable.

At this moment, a notification sound came from the Lingjing. Rooster Brother had joined the gang.

Zhang Yuanqing replied with an "Okay," exited the group chat, opened the gang interface, and selected "Generate Dungeon."

"Ding!" The Lingjing is generating, please wait...
