Jiumingtang's expansion was faster than Lu Sheng had expected.
He demonstrated the Way of Heartless Annihilation in several training sessions in the military region. In the end, in a short span of ten days, he had successfully taken over the entire An Ming City martial arts scene.
After that, he personally accepted a total of four newcomers from the core class.
The brothers of Baijun Castle, Red Thorn, became the most powerful thorn in Lu Sheng's hands. They consecutively challenged almost all the martial arts organizations in the surrounding areas.
They brutally beat up their head coach in front of others. In this way, everyone would lose interest in this organization.
On the path of martial arts and wrestling, everyone would only choose the strongest. Because no one was willing to be born weaker than others.
Just like that, the reputation of the Nine Life Hall spread at a crazy speed.
Especially with the full support of the Bai family of Baijun Castle, all kinds of supplies, venues, resources, and consumables were all provided to the disciples of Jiumingtang.
The entire organization was also gradually formalized.
Lu Sheng closed the outer class of weight loss and switched to the preparatory hall. Those who joined had to stay in the preparatory hall for a while as a test in advance.
Jiumingtang's jurisdiction was further divided into wolf, crane, and vermilion bird groups. The outer class was divided into three major groups.
Everything was on the right track.
Lu Sheng remotely controlled the entire organization through Wei Handong and his sister's messages.
In the blink of an eye, the weather turned cold and another month passed.
Jiumingtang had officially expanded into a powerful organization with over a hundred official members. There were over a hundred core members and over a thousand outer members.
The sphere of influence covered Anming City and the surrounding three prefecture-level cities. Its power even colluded with the local military.
Under such circumstances, Lu Sheng became quiet and did not make any more moves. Instead, he found his core members and continued his special training. Shrinking the sphere of influence.
At this time, Jiumingtang's source of income was far from relying on the outer class' tuition fees. Instead, it relied more on the shops and shopping malls within its sphere of influence, signing security agreements, employment agreements, and opening its own chain of clubs.
Especially after obtaining the license of a security company specially invited by the military, business was booming.
In this regard, Baijun Castle was the main support. Lu Sheng, on the other hand, stayed behind the scenes and began to make further arrangements.
…
…
Crack.
Lu Sheng opened the door and took out the key.
This was the apartment that Wang Mu had originally rented. He didn't return to it every day now. He spent most of the week resting in Jiumingtang's base.
Fortunately, there were more and more people who could use it. The Bai brothers' Baijun Castle was just one of them. Red Thorn and the others who joined later on were also enthusiasts with a certain level of fighting skills. They were also pretty good helpers.
Lu Sheng randomly arranged for a few of them to be in charge of the Jiumingtang branch in the neighboring city.
Ansha and Red Thorn were also among them. The two of them quickly established branches in Dongchuan City and Fei City. From these two places to An Ming City, it would only take two hours by car.
Therefore, every other day, they would come to the headquarters for training, and Lu Sheng would collectively give them self-limited training. This was completely feasible.
But if it was further away, it would be slightly more troublesome.
This was also the main reason why Lu Sheng stopped expanding.
Because the current Jiumingtang was too immature. The strength of the core members was far from enough to be independent.
Lu Sheng walked around the room and put the things he wanted to bring into his bag.
He could feel that he was about to make the next breakthrough. The Third Anima's endocrine transformation of the body was almost complete.
The Fourth Anima, which was the transformation of the blood, could begin at any time.
He came back today to officially change his house and buy a house that belonged entirely to him.
After putting away the things and documents, Lu Sheng carried the things out of the room and closed the door behind him. He was about to walk toward the elevator.
The elevator door suddenly opened automatically.
Zhen He slowly walked out, exhausted. She had light makeup on her face, and her long hair was tied into a ponytail. She was wearing light blue skinny jeans and a pink T-shirt. Her slender and round legs and perky buttocks outlined an extremely attractive curve.
The two of them met face to face.
"You're back?" Zhen He looked at him a few times before she recognized the current Lu Sheng.
The current Lu Sheng was much stronger than before. If it weren't for the fact that his temperament and appearance hadn't changed, he might have been mistaken for someone else.
"Yeah," Lu Sheng nodded. "I'm going to move in a few days."
"Congratulations," Zhen He said with a smile.
"Many thanks," Lu Sheng replied.
"By the way, a few days ago, a few people came to your house to look for you. However, you weren't home, so they left something with me. Wait a minute, I'll take it out and pass it to you." Zhen He suddenly recalled the previous matter and hurriedly said.
"Something?" Lu Sheng was a bit confused. Nowadays, people in his circle could reach him by phone at any time.
Why didn't they just call him? Why did they come to his house to give him something?
Could it be that they weren't people in his circle, but … people outside of it?
He suddenly remembered the key point.
Zhen He jogged into her house and quickly came out with a black plastic bag.
"Here, these are the things. Among the few people, there was a rather old man with glasses who spoke very slowly. He looked a little like you. Is he your relative? "
She smiled as she handed the things to Lu Sheng.
Lu Sheng's heart skipped a beat when he heard that.
Indeed, Wang Mu wasn't an orphan. He had parents, but they were cut off. As for relatives …
Only his eldest uncle had always been good to him.
He took the things, opened them, and glanced at them. He knew at a glance that they were pastries that he had made himself. They were all wrapped in black leaves that looked like bamboo leaves, and there were a lot of silk threads wrapped around them.
There was also a letter under the pastries.
Lu Sheng recalled. At that time, because of his relationship with his parents, Wang Mu was fed up with his eldest uncle's family and often persuaded him to go home and apologize to his parents.
He even blocked all of his uncle's phone numbers.
But even so, his eldest uncle's family had always taken good care of him. They would come over to give him food during the holidays and ask about his situation.
They even took the initiative to pay rent for him several times.
After thinking about it, Lu Sheng took out his phone with one hand and pulled out the phone number of his eldest uncle's family.
Although Wang Mu was thirty years old in the past, he was just a child who hadn't grown up. His thinking was immature.
But now it was different for him.
Wang Mu's eldest uncle was just an ordinary family. He probably didn't know that he was the boss of Jiumingtang.
This time around …
Lu Sheng calculated the time. It should be his eldest uncle's son. His cousin was about to get engaged.
The last time he met Wang Mu, he had mentioned it.
His cousin, Wang Cheng, was already twenty-seven years old. He had been dating his girlfriend for seven years. It was a little late for him to get engaged.
Lu Sheng quickly opened the letter and glanced at it.
The content was very simple. It was similar to a message. It was that his cousin, Wang Cheng, was about to get married and asked him to attend the wedding. Also, his cousin was admitted to a good university. They were also going to host a banquet.
It was obvious that his eldest uncle was thinking of ways to let him have a chance to meet his parents.
But …
Not only Wang Mu, but Lu Sheng also didn't like those two people after understanding the situation in his memory.
"What's wrong? Is there a problem? "Zhen He asked softly.
"No. Thank you. It's been with you for quite some time. "Lu Sheng smiled.
"It's okay. It's good that I can help. "Zhen He replied with a smile.
Lu Sheng looked at the time.
"It's about time. I'll treat you to dinner. After I move away, we won't have a chance to meet again. We've been neighbors for so many years, and we often exercise together. We can be considered friends. "
"That … okay." Zhen He agreed readily. "Let's go. I know a restaurant nearby. It tastes good. I'll lead the way. "
"Okay."
The two got out of the elevator, walked out of the old neighborhood, and went to a nearby barbecue buffet.
The two found a place to sit.
Zhen He didn't stand on ceremony. The waiter ordered a pile of meat dishes.
"What do you want?"
She asked Lu Sheng.
"Anything." Since he couldn't eat his fill, Lu Sheng didn't care how much he ate.
The barbecue cost eighty yuan per person. He could eat until the restaurant went bankrupt.
The black barbecue grill was quickly set up. The two put the meat on the grill, piece by piece. At the same time, they casually talked about the recent events.
In fact, it was Zhen He talking. Lu Sheng was listening because he didn't know anything about the current events.
"You seem to be developing quite well. You can even buy your own house. " When Zhen He talked about her years of struggle in this city, she couldn't help but complain sourly.
"It's okay. Actually, as long as you work hard, believe in yourself, and learn from failure, anyone can do well. "Lu Sheng smiled casually. "I don't have any secret. I just happen to work harder than others."
"But I can't do it … some things don't depend on hard work …" Zhen He smiled and shook her head. Her face was slightly bitter.
"I was laid off by the company. Recently, I've been looking for a job for a few months. I don't have much hope … They either look at my appearance or think that I'm not qualified enough. "
"Don't worry. I'll find one eventually. You can always find a job that suits you. As long as you're willing to keep improving yourself. "Lu Sheng comforted her.
Although it was nonsense, it was obvious that Zhen He was in a better mood.
"Oh right. What did you do before? "Zhen He suddenly asked.
"Manage the library."
"Ah … that's not bad. It's just that I'm a bit idle." She smiled. "I used to do odd jobs in a private company. Then, I offended a vixen and was kicked out of the company. "
"Then you're really unlucky," Lu Sheng replied dryly without any substance.
"You're right. To be honest, I'm almost out of money to pay rent. If you have any connections, can you introduce me to a job? I don't ask for much. I just want a normal income of three to five thousand yuan … "
She said half-jokingly and half-self-deprecatingly.
In fact, with her appearance, it was easy for her to find a job. It was just that the vixen she offended before had a rich man who had a lot of influence. Now, she couldn't survive in the industry.
People in the same industry didn't dare to hire her. She didn't know how to work in a different industry.
"Work?" Lu Sheng didn't expect her to be so miserable. "I do, but what's your major?"
