In the Ye Mansion's gatehouse.
A sturdy man was taking off his rain-dripping raincoat, revealing a khaki-colored coarse cloth and a hemp rope tied around his waist. The raincoat was badly torn and was almost useless. The clothes inside were also dripping wet, and the straw sandals on his feet were so rotten that they could barely be worn.
"Eighth young master will be out soon, please wait a moment." Old Li Si called for Ye Kong and hurried over to reply.
If it was in the past, Old Li Si would definitely not report if someone was looking for Chen Jiuniang and her son in the middle of the night. Even if this person was drenched to death, he would not let him enter the gatehouse.
But now it was different. He clearly knew how powerful Ye Kong was, and he did not want to provoke Ye Kong. In Cang Nan Continent, the concept of the strong being respected was deeply rooted in people's hearts. Old Li Si, after being beaten, began to admire and curry favor with Ye Kong.
"Oh, it's okay, old brother, thanks." The person felt that he was wet all over and was too embarrassed to sit down, so he stood and waited.
Not long after, Ye Kong, who was holding a black oil umbrella, pushed open the door and walked in. When he saw the person, he was stunned for a moment and said, "Lu Jun? What are you doing here? "
On the way, Ye Kong had been pondering, who would come to his door in the middle of the night in the heavy rain? He thought about it but could not think of anyone. But when he saw it, he discovered that it was the Lu family's eldest brother who had helped him in the afternoon.
"Eighth young master, I …" Lu Jun looked anxious, but then looked at Old Li Si.
"Quick, sit. Old brother Li, help me pour a cup of hot tea." Ye Kong saw that he had something to say and hurriedly asked Old Li Si to leave.
Old Li Si tactfully went to pour tea. Ye Kong pulled Lu Jun to sit down and muttered in his heart, 'Could it be that this kid needs money again? Coming to borrow money from me in the middle of the night? F * ck, I really can't be a good person anymore. '
But Ye Kong guessed wrong, Lu Jun did not come to borrow money, but to return it.
As soon as he sat down, Lu Jun took out the nine pieces of silver that Ye Kong had given him, placed it on the table, and pushed it in front of Ye Kong.
Ye Kong was stunned again and asked, "This is …?"
Lu Jun said, "Divine Doctor Kan has seen this lowly one's mother's eyes have been sealed, so no medicine will work, so he didn't accept the money. Since I can't use it, this lowly one can't take the Eighth Young Master's money."
Ye Kong nodded. He felt that Lu Jun was really a hot-blooded man. But then he thought, Could it be that Lu Jun doesn't want me to see his treasure?
Ye Kong quickly pushed the money over and said, "Brother Lu, you don't have to be so polite. I bought Lu Jiabao's things with my own money. It's not like I'm giving it to you for free. Please accept it."
Lu Jun's expression turned serious. He used the back of his hand to block the silver and said, "Eighth Young Master, this lowly one knows that you have a kind heart. This silver is to help this lowly one get through this difficult time. This lowly one doesn't need it anymore, so you must not accept it. As for the precious jade in this lowly one's house, if Eighth Young Master doesn't mind, you can go and see it at any time!"
In fact, Ye Kong's original purpose was not to do good. Hearing Lu Jun's words, he felt a little embarrassed. He quickly pushed it back and said modestly, "How can I do that? I won't see it for free. "
Lu Jun was about to push it back again when Ye Kong pretended to be angry and said, "Brother Lu, are you looking down on me, Ye Kong? Am I the kind of person who won't pay for seeing it? If you insist on not accepting it, then it means that you don't want to show it to me! "
To be honest, he was the kind of person who didn't pay for seeing it. He didn't even pay for seeing a girl bathing, let alone a piece of jade. He modestly declined because he felt that Lu Jun was a man who was loyal and worth associating with.
Hearing Ye Kong's words, Lu Jun couldn't refuse anymore. After thanking him, he put away the silver.
At this time, Ye Kong said with a smile, "Brother Lu, can you tell me your real purpose now?"
Obviously, returning the silver was not Lu Jun's main purpose. Otherwise, why didn't he come in the afternoon? With such heavy rain, he could have come tomorrow morning. But to come in the rain so late at night, there must be something important.
"Eighth Young Master is really smart. I haven't even said anything and you already know something. This lowly one admires you." Lu Jun flattered.
Ye Kong smiled disdainfully and said, "I also know that you came to find me because it must have something to do with the person who followed me in the afternoon. Did your gang find you and ask about my identity?"
Lu Jun was really surprised this time. Just now, he was just flattering him. Who knew that the other party had guessed the matter so accurately.
"Eighth Young Master is really clever and intelligent. This lowly one admires you!" Lu Jun said solemnly with cupped fists.
Ye Kong didn't be modest. He nodded and continued to analyze, "Brother Lu, you must have something important to tell me since you came to visit so late at night. But logically, you would definitely tell them. With my identity, they wouldn't dare to do anything to me, right? Then what else is there that's urgent? "
Lu Jun was already full of admiration and said, "Eighth Young Master is right. In the afternoon, our gang's Law Enforcement Hall came to ask about Eighth Young Master's identity. This lowly one didn't hide anything and told them frankly. When the Law Enforcement Hall people heard that you are the Ye Mansion's Eighth Young Master, they didn't dare to say anything and left hastily. But who knew …"
Ye Kong's eyes narrowed, waiting for him to continue.
Lu Jun looked around and said in a low voice, "Who knew that in the evening, the Law Enforcement Hall Master personally brought more than ten experts to my house and set up an ambush. They were waiting for Eighth Young Master to see the precious jade. Fortunately, it suddenly rained today. Otherwise, Eighth Young Master would have fallen into the ambush."
Ye Kong was shocked when he heard this. Obviously, these people knew his identity and were ready to let it go. But suddenly, there was a sudden change. What made them dare to change their mind and assassinate the Ye Family's Eighth Young Master?
"What did they say to you?" Ye Kong asked again.
"They … said it was very unpleasant …"
"There is no harm in saying it."
"They said that you are a fool and have never practiced martial arts. In the Ye Family, you are worthless. Even if you die, absolutely no one will care …"
Ye Kong suddenly understood that they had an informant. At first, they were ready to stop, but after listening to the informant's words, their desire for revenge was aroused.
But no matter what, he was still a member of the Ye Family. The government would certainly come forward. These guys were really bold!
Lu Jun continued, "At first, it was raining. Hall Master Li and the others were hoping that the rain would stop. But later, the rain became heavier and heavier, so they left, indicating that it would rain again tomorrow. This lowly one waited until he was sure that no one was watching, and then came to inform Eighth Young Master."
Ye Kong nodded and looked at this man who was drenched in the rain. For the first time in this cruel continent, he felt that kindness would be rewarded with kindness. It seemed that no matter where, as long as there were people, there would be seeds of kindness and justice.
Suddenly, Ye Kong remembered that someone was following him before, but Lu Jun did not warn him. But this time, he was willing to risk his life to warn him. Obviously, it was not just out of kindness.
Ye Kong smiled, looked up at Lu Jun's eyes and asked, "Brother Lu braved the rain to tell me, is it because you are sure that they are no match for me?"
Lu Jun hurriedly knelt down, but his expression was not flustered. He cupped his fists and said, "Eighth Young Master, this lowly one is very grateful for your help and generosity. But it is only gratitude. If Eighth Young Master really did not have the ability to protect himself, this lowly one would not have risked his life to tell you!"
Ye Kong stared at Lu Jun and asked, "Others helped you righteously, but you did not tell them and watched your benefactor walk on the road to death. Where is your conscience!"
Lu Jun's eyes flashed with guilt, but he immediately raised his head and said, "This lowly one also has a conscience! And knows right and wrong! More so, I will feel guilty! But this lowly one still has an old mother and little sister. If anything happens to my benefactor, then he can only blame himself for not understanding that not everyone can do good deeds! "
In this cruel continent, kindness, justice, compassion, and joy in helping others … all of these require capital! If you have enough money and strength, then you can do it. If you do not have the strength and still want to help others, then you will attract endless trouble. This is the basic principle of Cang Nan Continent.
However, Ye Kong did not blame Lu Jun. He did a good job. On the contrary, he had a new view of Lu Jun. This kid was reasonable, had a clear mind, and had a good moral character. Moreover, he was rough but meticulous. The most important thing was that he had a keen vision and was a talent.
"Then how do you know that I will definitely be the winner?" Ye Kong asked with interest.
Lu Jun said, "From what they said, Eighth Young Master is a fool. But in this lowly one's opinion, Eighth Young Master is meticulous and thorough. Also, they said that you have never practiced martial arts, so how could you kill six opponents? They also said that you are not even comparable to a servant in the Ye Family, but I saw the servants respect you with my own eyes. Obviously, the source of their information is wrong, so they will definitely fail! "
"Good!" Ye Kong could not help but praise. He helped Lu Jun up and said with a smile, "In the future, follow me. Do you want to be your own gang leader?"
"Be … gang leader?" Lu Jun thought he heard wrong.
Actually, Ye Kong had thought of resuming his old business. He wanted to form a gang in the other world and gather information. Moreover, he would have an income and a backup plan. Even if he was not there, his mother would take care of him.
But because he was busy with cultivation, he only thought about it in his mind. Now that he saw that Lu Jun was a promising talent, he could not help but mention it.
After listening to Ye Kong, Lu Jun thought for a while and shook his head, "Although the gang members' hearts are wavering, if they really want to rebel against gang leader Fan Jiulong, then no one would dare."
Ye Kong sneered, "Fan Jiulong, I will turn him into a dead dragon!"
"The truly powerful one is his younger brother. His martial arts are even higher."
"Higher martial arts?" Ye Kong snorted. He now had the support of the charm. No matter how high his martial arts were, it was not worth mentioning.
"If we can really kill the Fan brothers, then it will be done!" Lu Jun lowered his head and thought for a while before saying.
"Good, then you will start paying attention to Fan Jiulong's whereabouts tomorrow."
"Yes." Lu Jun replied loudly and asked, "Eighth Young Master, will you come tomorrow night?"
"Yes! Why not? "Ye Kong smiled coldly," They have been preparing for two days. I can't let them wait in vain, right? Law Enforcement Hall, right? Tell me, how many people do they have, how high their martial arts are, and where are they hiding? "
Another half an hour later, Ye Kong sent Lu Jun out and gave him his own umbrella.
Looking at Lu Jun's sturdy figure disappearing into the endless curtain of rain, Ye Kong turned around and looked coldly at Li Lao Si, saying in a deep voice, "If you leak out that this person is looking for me … I will immediately kill your entire family."
"Yes, yes, yes, I dare not!" Li Laosi, who had once swaggered in front of Chen Jiuniang and her son, could only tremble at this moment.
