"Missing?"

Li Xiang frowned slightly, Sha Lifei is a first-class master, even if he is old and frail, he still should not be underestimated, especially since the other party is still the leader of a gang, and it is really strange that he suddenly disappeared.

But this is good news for him.

Without the suppression of the old guy, the internal forces of the Qingzhu Gang will be reshuffled, and his interests will be able to return to his hands, continue to collect items with Yin Ke, develop steadily, and improve his strength.

Everything was as he wished, and he could live a stable and peaceful life.

It's just that nine times out of ten things in the world are unsatisfactory, will things really go as smoothly as he thinks?

……

On December 1st, the old gang leader of the Qingzhu Gang, Sha Lifei, and his son disappeared, and the entire Qingzhu Gang fell into a state of leaderlessness.

On the same day, the government began to intervene in the management of public security in Beipa, and comprehensively cracked down on all kinds of non-imperial forces.

Just when everything was on the right track, Li Xiang's disciple Song Qing brought him good news.

In the small courtyard.

"Master, you can go with me, this Xiangyuan Party is the most upscale party in the city, and the people who go are all ladies and young talents from major families, and you will definitely be able to find a suitable partner for you."

Song Qing's face was full of seriousness, he was really thinking about the teacher, although Li Xiang was his master, but the two were essentially not much different in age, Li Xiang, who was almost eighteen years old, was already relatively late when he was married at an average age of fifteen.

But this big brother is good, he doesn't even have a favorite goal.

So he was a little anxious, and used the connections he had to get a pass for the teacher to those high-level students.

Although the big brother wants money or not, and his appearance can only be said to be average, after all, he is the current leader of the Qingzhu Gang, and he is not too old and has potential, so it is not impossible to be appreciated by those daughters.

"I've said it all, I haven't had the heart to think about that now, why don't you kid listen?"

Li Xiang is also a little helpless, he doesn't like those parties, blind dates and the like at all, in today's troubled times, only enough strength can ensure the safety of himself and the people around him.

In his opinion, nothing is more important than strength.

There are unattainable gods and Buddhas outside, and there are strong people like Su Xin inside, and now he is thinking about how to become stronger all the time, how can he have the heart to think about those tedious things?

It's just that the person who opened his mouth was the only disciple after all, and seeing his sincere face, he sighed and said, "That's it, since it has to be like this, then I will go with you, but I said in advance, only this once, and you are not allowed to mention this matter again in the future." ”

In fact, in his previous life, most of the contemporary marriages of the Chinese nation were in their twenties, and some later even after thirty, it was too rare for him to talk about marriage at his age.

This is the effect of different customs.

"Okay." Song Qing was overjoyed, it was indeed not easy to get the master to agree this time, he knew that this master who was also a brother liked to practice martial arts, and he was worried about the gang on weekdays, and he had no intention of thinking about other things.

It was not easy to get him to agree this time, and after leaving the small courtyard, he quickly came to a restaurant, and at this moment, there were already two girls waiting in the building.

"How?"

Zhang Xingxi couldn't help it and asked anxiously.

"It's done, the master should go."

Song Qing shook hands excitedly, and by the way, secretly glanced at Li Ying, who was bowing his head next to him and didn't know what he was thinking, with him apprenticeing to Li Xiang, the relationship with him was much closer, although the relationship had not yet been established, but the two could already be regarded as friends.

That's a huge step forward.

getting along day and night, he felt that the two still had a good chance to go further.

"Great." Zhang Xingxi smiled, her big eyes bent into a crescent shape.

"What are you happy about?"

Seeing that he was happy, Song Qing was a little puzzled, this scathing girl had been extremely enthusiastic since she knew that he wanted to find a daughter-in-law for her master.

Especially when asking for a place in the Xiangyuan Club, if it weren't for this guy's contribution, he might not be able to get the extra quota alone.

Although his father is a well-known wealthy merchant in Beibo City, his influence in the city is really not as good as that of these children of the family.

"You care about me?" Zhang Xingxi snorted coldly and turned around, not wanting to deal with this.

"Hey, you two don't ...... like that"

Li Ying squinted and smiled beside her, but she enjoyed the feeling of being quiet and good in the years.

Compared with the days when she and her brother depended on each other and ate a few grains of rice every day, everything now can be regarded as alive.

After a little small talk with her friends, she got up and parted.

Walking on the street, there are few pedestrians on the side of the road, three or three twos, and the vendors who set up stalls are also extremely rare, only one or two can be seen occasionally, and the business looks very bleak.

With the increase in the number of people she came into contact with and the number of books she read increased, she was not the useless girl who could only cry as she once was.

She has learned to think independently, be considerate of others, and she knows that the seemingly peaceful life she has now is all bought by her brother's blood and sweat, so she cherishes her hard-won life very much.

Boom.

As she walked, a hurried figure suddenly collided with her, knocking her to the ground and making her cry out in pain.

"Ahem."

What hit Li Ying was a bearded, unkempt man, a little girl among the men was knocked down by him, and after being stunned, she rolled her eyes and fainted to the ground.

"Uncle, hey, uncle, wake up...... " Li Ying was taken aback, pressed her shoulders with both hands, and shook violently.

But after shaking for a while, the other party still didn't react.

After thinking about it, she gritted her teeth and began to carry it on her back and head towards her home, because of her brother's intentional training, although she did not practice martial arts, her physical strength far exceeded that of children of the same age, so when carrying the man, despite the struggle, she still persevered.

Back in the corner of the small courtyard, the man lying on Li Ying woke up faintly and said with difficulty: "Wait, don't take me to a crowded place, please." ”

If he goes to a crowded place, his identity is likely to be found by Qi Tianzong's people, just in case, it is better to find a place where no one is around.

"This ......"

Li Ying was a little hesitant, after all, this person was just a stranger to her, what if she had any bad intentions?

Thinking so in her heart, when she saw the other party's pleading eyes, her heart still softened, and she turned to an abandoned no-man's land, which was the secret base she found when she was playing with her friends, and there were very few people who could find it there.

What's more, in order to prevent famine, she hid a lot of food and necessities there, planning to have a way out when there is no way out in the future.

Now it's used on this stranger.

After taking it to the secret base, which is an abandoned, short, perennial untended and remote stone house, she began to take care of it.

First, he took a hot towel and put it on his forehead, and then waited next to him to prepare food, fanning it from time to time to drive away the heat, and for the next few days, it was like this, during which the other party also woke up, but most of the state was not good, and after a while, he fell into a deep sleep again.

Until three days later.

"Thank you Ying'er, if it weren't for you, I'm afraid I would be in a catastrophe this time."

The sloppy man Ye Pingsheng sighed, and suddenly said seriously: "After getting along for the past few days, I found that you have a kind heart, good bones, and a life-saving grace for me, which is very suitable for cultivating the 'Xuantian Holy Technique' of the inner strength of this sect, I don't know what you think?" ”

These words are from the bottom of his heart, although he really wanted to use this little girl to find a place to stand temporarily, but the sincerity of the other party touched him, and more importantly, since getting along these days, he found that this little girl is very consistent with their legendary exercises of Qi Tianzong, and her own roots are extremely excellent.

Under the combination of various conditions, the mind of accepting disciples was moved.

"Apprentice Li Ying, meet the master."

Hearing this, Li Ying bowed happily, although she was young, she was not stupid.

After getting along in the past few days, coupled with Ye Pingsheng's extraordinary means intentionally or unintentionally, it has been proved that this person is by no means an ordinary person, but a martial arts predecessor with extremely strong martial arts.

If she can worship this person as a teacher, she can also embark on the path of martial arts, and maybe she can help her brother in the future.

As for why he didn't let his brother teach him martial arts himself? It's all because Li Xiang doesn't want his sister to live in fear, thinking that as long as he is strong enough, he can protect everything, and his family just needs to enjoy life with peace of mind.

Under the protection of such an approximate deformity, even if she wanted to learn martial arts, it would be impossible.

"Good, good!"

Ye Pingsheng laughed three times, showing that he was in a happy mood at the moment, he didn't say empty words, he took out a short sword directly from his sleeve, handed it out and said: "Although this sword is not a divine weapon, it is also made of fine steel after many days, it can sharpen iron like clay, and it is indestructible, so it should be a meeting gift for the teacher." ”

This sword, which was itself a weapon he used to deal with the enemy, was given to his apprentice at this time.

"Thank you, Master."

Li Ying took the short sword, and for a while, whether it was a man or a woman, she had longed to go to the end of the world with a sword since she was a child.

Even if she is no exception, for the first time in her life, she has an unbearable excitement in her heart.

……

On the other side, Li Xiang received a message from the headquarters, which reported that according to the order of the current only gang leader, Chi Li, he was asked to go to the Qingzhu Gang to participate in the high-level council within three days, and if he didn't do so, he would bear the consequences.

The attitude is very polite, but it is conceivable that the temper of the new gang leader is not much better, and he is probably sharpening his knife, thinking about how to concoct him.

In the past, he might still think of finding a reason to excuse himself, but now that he has a huge amount of force, Li Xiang didn't do that, he decided to go and see it in person, if he left his acquaintance, he didn't come to trouble him.

If the other party comes hard, don't blame him for being ruthless.

To tell the truth, a second-rate master, garbage that can't even enter the limit, in his opinion, is nothing at all.
