If Consultant Zheng did not expose Old Man Xu's sinister intention, the middle-aged woman might still feel that the appearance of Zhang Lisheng, who was waiting in the hotel lobby downstairs, was suspicious. However, she no longer had any doubts now.
The leader's group was a motley crew that was forcefully put together to begin with, so adding one more wouldn't be a problem. However, in order to display her authority, the woman still expressionlessly pondered for a while, and then she opened her mouth to make a decision, saying, "Old Xu, your situation this time is indeed a bit special.
Today, I'll make a special exception and assimilate your martial nephew into the 'team'.
But this matter must be reported to the whole team, and it must not happen again. How did your martial nephew come to South Africa? "
"Working, the famous saying is' labor export '."
"Working? Then he must know a lot of Chinese workers in South Africa and have his own social circle.
How about this, Old Xu, ask him to make a phone call and say goodbye to his colleagues. Tell them that something happened at home and that he had to go back immediately.
Team Leader Cui, I'll add Old Xu's Junior Nephew to your team. You can ask him about his specific situation later and make a registration to complete the procedure of joining the team.
This is a critical period. We can't risk contacting the country for such a small matter. We can only simplify things. In the future, his job is to protect Old Xu's safety.
Remember, he's different from the other team members. He hasn't gone through any training or ideological mobilization. You have to monitor him well. From now until the end of our operation, don't let him have any contact with the outside world. "
"Yes, Leader." Cui Xiaodong nodded seriously.
"That's great, Captain Hu. Thank you for your magnanimity." Old Man Xu, on the other hand, rubbed his hands in delight and said, "Consultant Zheng, will you still keep an eye on them?"
"There's no need for that. He's practicing witchcraft and has mastered his martial arts. He can't control his temper and has already walked on the wrong path at such a young age. I won't look at him specifically. Anyway, we'll still have the chance to meet in the future."
Upon hearing Consultant Zheng's words, Old Man Xu, who also practiced martial arts, could not help but feel sad and angry, but he could only put on a smile. "In that case, Consultant Zheng, Director Hu, I'll take my leave first."
"OK. You and Team Leader Cui can leave first." The middle-aged woman nodded. Immediately, Old Man Xu and Cui Xiaodong walked out of the room with relief.
Although there were some twists and turns in the matter, it finally came to a satisfactory conclusion. The two of them relaxed and saw Zhang Lisheng sitting on the sofa in the hotel lobby that was provided for guests to rest with his head buried in his thoughts, nobody knew what he was thinking about.
Lu Qing and the others revealed expressions of concern as they surrounded the youth and watched coldly from the sidelines.
"Leader Lu, what do you think? My martial nephew is not someone to be trifled with, right?" Upon seeing this, Old Man Xu walked to Zhang Lisheng's side with a cheeky smile and patted his shoulder. "Boy, your uncle's face is still worth it. Tell Team Leader Cui your background later. You'll be a citizen of the country in the future. Work hard …"
There were two reasons why Zhang Lisheng was willing to follow Old Man Xu and Cui Xiaodong back to the hotel. One, he coveted the illusory secret cultivation method that the old man mentioned.
Secondly, he felt that in a situation where no one knew his background, he could display his strength to his heart's content and kill his way out of this situation.
In such a situation, of course, he would not tell them his real background. Instead, he casually made up a story, "My father's surname is Hu and my mother's surname is Li. They gave me the name Hu Lisheng.
My hometown is Toad Village in the outskirts of Jushan City in Western Sichuan. When I was 15 years old, my father died and my mother got married, so I didn't go to school anymore. I've been working all this time. That's my background. "
"This, this is too simple."
"Alright, Team Leader Cui. Do you think that everyone who cultivates witchcraft is like you? Do you think that you can get whatever you want and catch the Golden Bull Worm with omniscient power when you've just become a wizard?
That's a life that you can't get even if you win the lottery. Most of the ordinary witchcraft cultivators have a bad life. Speaking of which, those who have a son and a daughter like me can be considered as blessed. "
"Isn't Lu Qing the same as me? He caught the Mountain Mover with omniscient power when he became a wizard …"
"Isn't that because Team Leader Lu is not an ordinary person as well?
It's done, it's done! All of you young masters don't understand the hardships of ordinary people. This is what they call different lives for different people, "Old Man Xu said and patted Zhang Lisheng's shoulder with a sad expression." Don't make things difficult for my Junior Nephew. Team Leader Hu Ling has already said that everything should be simple … "
Zhang Lisheng, however, did not appreciate it at all. His body trembled lightly and he used his feet as a leverage to shake off the old man's arm. Smiling, he said, "Uncle, I've already reported my background so I can be considered as joining the gang. Shouldn't I get a little advance on the reward that you mentioned earlier?"
"What do you mean joining the gang? Erm, how can working for the government and the country be called joining the gang? Not only that, you have to complete the mission first before you can ask for the reward, right, man?" Old Man Xu's face froze as he stammered.
"Even the emperor doesn't need hungry soldiers. You're dreaming if you want me to take the risk and contribute for no reason.
Uncle, if you guys are still so stingy, the next situation will be me leaving but you guys won't let me go. If you guys block me, I'll kill all of you.
If things really come to that stage, the dead can't be resurrected, so what's the point? "Zhang Lisheng said calmly.
His arrogant words naturally made all of the competitive young people in the hotel lobby furious. Lu Qing roared, "Y-You're brushing your teeth with a toilet brush! What a big mouth you have!
Don't think that you don't know who you are just because you took advantage of us just now. If we had used witchcraft incantation just now, you would've been lying on the ground already … "
"Have you seen my wizard gu before, kid?
Forget it, it's just a little trouble anyway. Nobody here knows me anyway … "Zhang Lisheng mumbled to himself and stood up from the sofa. The wyrmdragon that had been softly wrapped around his waist opened its mouth and released its tail." You're right. You're right.
Just when the wizard gu was about to swim out and spit out smoke to show its ferocious body, Old Man Xu, who was by the side, had a series of expressions on his face. Without warning, he shouted with great difficulty, "Don't be agitated! Don't be agitated!
Alright, alright! Boy, since you want the secret formula, I'll give you the True Secret Formula Book. Actually, nobody really cares about this thing now. It's just that it's too rare, so it's hard to get one.
However, before I give you the true incantation, let's make this clear first. This thing belongs to me. Since you've benefited from me, you'll have to protect me with all your might in the future. You'll have to swear, take the Goddess Oath! "
"Uncle, why didn't you say so earlier? How about this? Why don't you give me the secret formula first and let me see its value before making a decision?"
Old Man Xu compromised with Zhang Lisheng's stubbornness and planned to take out the witchcraft secret formula that he obtained from a fortuitous encounter when he was young to appease him. It was not that he was crazy enough to think that the young man could really kill everyone like what he said.
Instead, he was afraid that the secret would be exposed if a dispute broke out. In that case, Zhang Lisheng would not be able to escape death, but he would definitely be implicated and suffer a great disaster because he had provoked him into the team.
At this time, when the old man saw that the young man was still making a fool out of him, he became anxious and angry. Feeling dizzy, he untied his suit and grabbed his shirt to reveal his strong chest. Spitting a big mouthful of saliva on his palm, he rubbed his chest and peeled off a thin transparent skin. "I've been hunting wild geese all day long, so I must have been pecked in the eye by the geese today. Take it, take it.
Use your wizard power to activate it, and pictures and words will appear. Don't blame me if you can't understand it. "
"The divine item is self-concealing, but it looks like a rare book instead …" Zhang Lisheng snatched the thin skin and used his wizard power to activate the content in a flash. After glancing at it, he raised his eyebrows imperceptibly and said regretfully, "Unfortunately, it's just a spell and not a secret cultivation method …"
"What's the use of a cultivation method nowadays? The deep mountains and forests have already become tourist areas, and there are more tourists than animals here.
If the barren hills and unruly rivers really can't attract people, then the officials would just mark the land and hang a sign to transfer the industry. The sewage discharged from a big factory can kill all the poisonous insects within a radius of several dozens of miles.
In this society and environment, do you still expect to have a good cultivation method? What's wrong with 'Shedding and Returning'? Do you even have that unique talent?!
Alright, man! Stop pretending! I've been wandering in the world for a long time, and I've only been stabbed today, so how can I not see through your thoughts? If you say that this True Book is not a good thing, then return it to me and fight with them! "
Upon seeing Old Man Xu's distressed and anxious look, Lu Qing, Cui Xiaodong, and a few other young people who were often coaxed by him using his seniority to take advantage of him but were rendered speechless could not help but burst out laughing. "Old Man Xu, to think that you'd have such a day! The junior nephew you found is even more greedy and treacherous than you! You really deserve it …"
"Old Man Xu, you should be happy! This junior nephew of yours has a good heart, and as long as he perseveres, he'll definitely have great achievements in the future. By that time, if you're still here, perhaps you'll also be able to rise to the top along with him …"
"Does Old Man Xu still need to rely on his junior nephew? I can see that his face is glowing, so he'll be able to take this step very soon. Who knows, he might be able to make a breakthrough in a few days …" As the continuous ridicule resonated in the surroundings, the atmosphere in the hotel lobby that was originally tense suddenly eased up.
If it was a head-on confrontation, of course, Zhang Lisheng, who had transformed, would not be afraid at all. However, since the other party had already offered him the Witchcraft True Book, he could not kill them all.
"Alright, Uncle! You're right! Even though this True Book is not a secret cultivation method, it's still very precious. I promise you that no matter where you go this time, I'll accompany you and ensure your safety."
Upon hearing the young man's words, Old Man Xu's disease-like expression became a little better. He no longer asked Zhang Lisheng to take an oath. "Alright, boy! You said it yourself! You're like a person who doesn't speak out easily, but when you do, every single one of your spit will hit a hole in the ground. I'll believe you unconditionally this time.
Remember, don't cause any more trouble. You're also a citizen of the country … "
"You can rest assured about my credibility." Zhang Lisheng nodded with a smile and asked, "But Uncle, why do you keep saying 'a citizen of the country' and 'a citizen of the country'? What do you mean by that?"
"What do I mean? What do I mean? Let's go to the hotel cafeteria and eat while we talk. The food in this hotel is not bad. It's just that it's a little boring if I eat too much, but I can still endure it if I'm hungry.
Team Leader Cui, since this junior nephew of mine has agreed to join the team, he'll be considered as one of us now. I'll tell him about our mission later. "
