Rebellious Contract Beast

"Nothing. I made friends with him on the way to Jiangzhou. He helped me a lot. I can't neglect him. Take some people downstairs to prepare some wine and food."

"It's Miss."

After giving instructions to Zhuhong, He Jianchuyun exchanged greetings with Wu Gong and the others, then invited them into Mingyan Courtyard.

"On the way here, I was wondering if the little girl would be bullied in the Zhu family. Look at this courtyard, it's really magnificent. It makes me feel a lot more at ease."

"Little girl, how long have you been in Jiangzhou City?"

"It should be almost half a year."

"How does your aunt treat you? If she treats you badly, we will go and settle the score with her right now!"

"My aunt treats me very well, so you can rest assured. Otherwise, I wouldn't live here, right?"

"That's good."

"What about your uncle? I heard that your uncle is the head of the Zhu family. How does he treat you?"

"Uh... so-so..." He Jian Chu Yun gave an ambiguous answer. Wu Gong and the other three looked at each other and were about to say something, but He Jian Chu Yun spoke first: "Okay, forget about it. If it weren't for my aunt, my uncle and I would be nothing more than strangers. It's enough for us to have a place to stay in the Zhu family. Don't mess around."

"No, no."

"Well, when did you arrive in Jiangzhou City?"

"I just arrived the day before yesterday."

"Then why didn't you come to see me earlier?"

"Let's not talk about this." Wu Gong shook his head, but still said: "Jiangzhou City is too big. The day we arrived, we brothers got lost. We asked around for two days before we found this place."

"I see. Sit wherever you like."

"Will the stool be dirty?"

"Little girl, we are so dirty, let's just forget it."

"It's okay, sit down. I was able to come to Jiangzhou thanks to your help. How could I dislike you?"

"Since the little girl is like this, we won't be polite either."

"Sit, sit, sit."

After entering the hall, Wu Gong seemed to be relieved. He finally pulled off the scarf covering his head, revealing his hideous face.

He grinned, sat down on the chair, looked around, and asked:
"Where's Xuan Li? Where is he?"

"He is on my altar, you stay there, I will let him out." Anyway, Wu Gong and others knew Shen Yi's background well, He Jian Chuyun did not hide it and released Shen Yi from the consciousness space.

The moment Shen Yi appeared, the atmosphere in the room suddenly became quiet, and several pairs of eyes were all on him, as if they were looking at an extraordinary item.

Finally, Wu Gong scratched his head and said awkwardly: "Haha... I haven't seen you for a long time. Xuan Li... has gained a lot of weight, huh?"

These words made He Jian Chu Yun unable to straighten his posture and he burst out laughing.

Shen Yi originally wanted to say hello, but his face suddenly turned dark when he heard this.

"If you can't speak, sew your mouth shut."

"It's just a joke, Xuanli, don't take it to heart, but you have indeed gained weight, haha!" Wu Gong said, and couldn't help laughing, and the others laughed along.

Shen Yi looked at him as if he was a fool and did not reply.

Seeing this, He Jian Chuyun said, "Okay, stop laughing. If Xuan Li gets angry at Old Wu, you might not be able to beat him."

Hearing this, Wu Gong's smile froze, and he suddenly remembered Feng Dingzhang's death. He then laughed dryly twice, then stopped laughing and asked, "I saw that Xuanjie Venerable ran towards you when we came out of Dalan. What happened in the end?"

"What else can I do? I'll just die."

"Who?"

"Who could it be? Could it be me and the old witch?"

"That Xuanjie Venerable... was he killed by you?"

Shen Yi and He Jianchuyun looked at each other without saying anything. Finally, He Jianchuyun nodded twice at Wu Gong.

hiss~
Wu Sheng, Duan Huai, and Zhang Wenyuan gasped in surprise: "Oh my god! I really died in your hands!"

"Well, I was lucky enough to kill him and escape. If he hadn't died, it's hard to say where the old witch and I are now."

"Xuan Li is right. He was lucky enough to take advantage of Feng Dingzhang's opportunity..." He Jianchuyun briefly recounted to everyone how Feng Dingzhang died. After that, Zhuhong came in with four maids and started serving the dishes.

After all the dishes were served, she did not let Zhuhong and others stay in the hall for long, and quickly sent them out.

The people at the back were eating and chatting, and soon they heard He Jian Chuyun ask, "Old Wu, how did you escape? You were surrounded by so many people, and after Xuan Li and I were safe, we thought you had already..."

"This is a long story..." Wu Gongmeng took a sip of wine and started to tell Wu Sheng and the other two about their experiences.

For the sake of that magical treasure, the Ninth Palace of Dajing Mo Palace sent many powerful men. Under the circumstances at that time, Wu Gong and his four companions could not escape even if they had wings.

After He Jian Chu Yun and Shen Yi successfully escaped, Wu Gong was soon captured alive. Although Wu Sheng, Duan Huai and Zhang Wenyuan rode Wu Gong's life god and ran away, they couldn't let Wu Gong go and ran back foolishly. As a result, they naturally ended up with the same fate as Wu Gong.

Afterwards, the four of them were escorted by people from the Ninth Palace of the Mo Palace to the Dajing Imperial City.

But are the people in the Ninth Palace of Mo Palace good people?
Wu Gong knew very well that if he went to the Dajing Imperial City, he would be dead for sure. He didn't know what kind of torture the Nine Palaces of the Mo Palace would use to interrogate the whereabouts of the magical treasure, and he was not sure if he could withstand the torture.

Even if they said it at the end, the four of them would die in Dajing Imperial City, and their bodies would be thrown into some mass grave somewhere unknown.

So in order to delay time, Wu Gong confessed halfway and said that he could lead the people of the Nine Palaces of Mo Palace to retrieve the magical treasure, on the condition that he would spare their lives after they found the magical treasure.

Of course, the place Wu Gong described was fake. Although the people from the Nine Palaces of Mo Palace were not sure about its authenticity, they would not kill Wu Gong easily before finding the magical treasure, and they quickly agreed to Wu Gong's request.

Thanks to the good luck of Wu Gong and his three companions, on the way they encountered a group of demon cultivators who were preparing to massacre the town for a blood sacrifice. Originally, the people of the Nine Palaces of the Mo Palace did not want to cause trouble and just wanted to pretend that they did not see anything and leave quickly. However, who would have thought that the group of demon cultivators were disciples who came out from the Demon Sect to gain experience. The Nine Palaces of the Mo Palace did not want to provoke them, but they wanted to provoke the people of the Nine Palaces of the Mo Palace.

There was no way to retreat, so the two sides started fighting. It was at that time that Wu Gong and his four men took advantage of the chaos and stabbed the people escorting them in the back, killing all of them.

After that, Wu Gong and his three companions encountered many hardships. Although all the people from the Nine Palaces of the Mo Palace died, they did not regain their freedom. Instead, they followed the group of Demon Sect disciples and worked like slaves for them. Half a month later, Wu Gong took advantage of the Demon Sect disciples' deep sleep, took Wu Sheng and the other two, killed the disciples who were on guard, and ran away.

The process was not smooth, because the Demon Sect elder woke up in time and immediately started to hunt down the four people. Fortunately, Wu Gong had planned everything in advance, and the place where he stayed overnight was not far from the capital of Chenzhou. When he arrived outside the city, the group of Demon Sect disciples did not dare to continue chasing, but even so, Wu Gong was still seriously injured and barely escaped from the hands of the demon cultivator.

After that, the four of them wandered for several months and finally arrived at the Nanli Dynasty. At that time, Wu Gong and others happened to encounter a group of human traffickers. After stealing their money and killing people, Wu Gong learned that one of the human traffickers opened an inn in a small town twenty miles away. Hearing that the business was good, he began to think about taking over the inn and doing business.

However, Wu Gong was not born to do this job. The inn's business was indeed good, and he could make about two or three hundred dollars a day. Even if he couldn't become rich and famous, at least he could provide food and clothing for four people. But the business only lasted for four or five days. After that, the business became worse and worse, and finally there were no customers.

The reason is Wu Gong's appearance, which is too fierce and scary. People feel that it is a shady shop at first glance. Regular customers don't trust him, and new customers dare not come. In addition, the surrounding peers deliberately smear him, so it would be strange if there is any business.

There was no other choice, Wu Gong could only take the three of them and go back to his old ways, covering their faces and robbing people outside the city.

However, after only two actions, Wu Gong and his four companions were exposed, causing people in the entire town to criticize them, and some even ran to the nearby big city-state to file a complaint with the authorities.

At this point, the resentment that had been accumulating in Wu Gong's heart finally erupted. On the day he left the town, all those who had slandered him were killed tragically at home. In addition, all the three major families in the town were slaughtered by Wu Gong and Wu Sheng and his two companions, leaving no one alive.

After making a big fuss in the town for a whole day, he left while cursing the sky.

In the end, all their efforts were in vain. Wu Gong found that he had to seek refuge with He Jian Chuyun. Along the way, the four of them ate and drank to their heart's content until their money was all gone. They didn't want to cause any more trouble, so they could only hurry on their journey. After arriving at Jiangzhou city, they looked so miserable.

As they recounted their experiences, the four couldn't help but sigh. They had experienced so much that if they were to describe them in detail, it would take three days and three nights to finish.

"Little girl, you see we have nowhere to go now. Why don't we do as we said last time and become your retainers? It won't be considered unfair. You won't chase us away, will you?" Wu Gong asked somewhat embarrassedly.

Hearing this, He Jian Chu Yun smiled and said, "I am very happy that you came. Why would I chase you away?"

"Then we feel relieved. Little girl, just give us a way to survive and that's all. As for money, let's not talk about it. It will hurt our feelings." Wu Gong breathed a sigh of relief, then took a big sip of wine, his face slightly tipsy.

At this time, Shen Yi sucked a large piece of meat into his mouth, chuckled twice, and said: "Wu Gong, you have come to the right place. I have a job here, and it is very suitable for you!"

"What job?" Wu Gong paused after hearing this and looked at Shen Yi curiously.

Shen Yi smiled mysteriously and said in a deep voice: "It's a waste of talent to be a retainer. What do you think, leader of the gang?"

"Gang leader? What does that mean?"

Wu Gong narrowed his eyes slightly, a little confused.

Shen Yi did not keep him in suspense and quickly told him the existence of the Tiger Gang.

After hearing this, Wu Gong was even more confused: "This gang... has no leader?"

"Yes, I have."

"who is it?"

Shen Yi didn't say anything, but just looked at He Jianchuyun. Seeing their actions, Zhang Wenyuan said uncertainly: "The leader of the Tiger Gang...isn't it Xuan Li?"

Shen Yi still didn't say anything, but He Jianchuyun nodded.

"It really is!"

"How can you, a contracted beast, be the leader of the Tiger Gang? Will the people below recognize you?"

"Don't worry about it. You'll know when the time comes. Wu Gong, as long as you are willing, the money will come much faster than robbery."

"really?"

"It's more real than the real thing, but..."

"But what?"

"The Tiger Gang is in trouble now, and you may need to deal with it first. I have been worried about how to deal with it these past few days. Now that you are here, things will be easier." Shen Yi said, and couldn't help laughing.

Wu Gong arrived just in time. It was perfect for him to confront Zhu Qingtian as the leader of the Tiger Gang.

Let the Xu family learn what it means to be specialized in a field.

Wu Gong VS Zhu Qingtian.

Both of them are from the underworld, and both have the reputation of being bad guys, so they are at loggerheads.

Afterwards, Shen Yi briefly talked about the Luoxiangzui Liquor Industry, the feud between the Tiger Gang and the Xu family, and the situation of the Tiger Gang during this period. After listening, Wu Gong and the other three looked at each other, obviously a little moved, but Wu Gong asked out of caution: "Who is this Zhu Qingtian?"

"Zhu Qingtian is similar to you. He is a well-known bandit in Dahong, specializing in robbing and looting. However, he only robs people without power, which is not comparable to you. But his strength should not be underestimated. He has the cultivation level of the knowledge stage and the epidemic exorcism stage. That's all. What do you think?"

"Humph, I thought he was some formidable figure, but it turns out he is just a soft fist. It's no problem to deal with him."

In Black Snake Town, the term "soft fist" refers to those who bully the weak and fear the strong. Wu Gong looks down on such people the most and speaks with disdain.

"That's good, but Wu Gong, don't underestimate him. Zhu Qingtian's cultivation is not worse than yours, so you have to be careful when dealing with him."

"Xuan Li, don't worry. If I, Old Wu, wasn't careful, I wouldn't be alive today, right? But how long can I be the leader of the Tiger Gang?"

"It doesn't matter how long you want to be in charge. After all, I am just a contracted beast, and it is not suitable for me to be in charge of the Tiger Gang all the time. After you take over, I will go and take care of my own business."

"Such a big gang, and you just give it to me like this?"

"Oh my god, the Tiger Gang was never mine to begin with, so it doesn't matter who I give it to. But I want to take away one of the people who complained about the nobles."

"Qu Xian...Gui? Who is this person?"

"One of my subordinates. It will be easier for me to do things with him. By the way, there are several vacancies for the positions of the leaders of the Tiger Gang. After I assign you to the position, it will be up to you how to handle it."

"Do you think Wusheng and the other three are suitable?"

"You are the gang leader, you decide for yourself, don't ask me."

"Well then! You said it yourself, Xuan Li! Don't regret it when the time comes!"

"Just don't mess around."

"Good! It seems that I, Old Wu, have come to the right place! Here, I'll toast this glass of wine to Xuan Li and the little girl!"

"Full of it!"
