Rebellious Contract Beast

Wu Gong did not hold back when dealing with those diners who wanted to harass Tian Haoyu, and almost intended to kill them.

And these four diners, just as they said, came to Jiangzhou City for business. They had some skills, but they were not high. How could they withstand Wu Gong's methods?

In the blink of an eye, three of the four diners who had harassed Tian Haoyu died and fell motionless in a pool of blood.

The one who was still alive was vomiting blood continuously. His arm was broken into five or six pieces and was in a terrible state. He fell to the ground and struggled for a long time but was unable to get up.

Wu Gong had a murderous look on his face and strode forward, ready to stomp him to death, but was stopped in time by Tian Haoyu.

"Uncle Wu! Uncle Wu! That's enough!"

After hearing her words, Wu Gong stopped and looked viciously at the diner who was still alive on the ground.

"How dare you, a bastard, cause trouble in front of me?"

"I don't dare, I don't dare, sir, please spare my life!"

It was not known whether it was out of fear or pain, but the surviving diner's voice was filled with tears.

Originally, he was just attracted by her beauty and wanted to tease Tian Haoyu, but who would have thought that such an evil god like Wu Gong would appear?

The murderous aura emanating from him was so terrifying that even Tian Haoyu, who was standing next to him, couldn't help but tremble with heart.

The other diners in the restaurant naturally noticed the noise quickly. When they saw Wu Gong kill three people, they were so frightened that they dared not stay any longer. They quickly got up and walked out of the restaurant, fearing that they would be the next one to be killed by Wu Gong. After all, he looked too scary.

"Wait a minute, don't go!" Tian Haoyu wanted to stop these diners, but as soon as she spoke, these diners walked faster.

Tian Haoyu stamped his feet anxiously. There was no other way. He could only look at Wu Gong and tug on his sleeve: "Uncle Wu, forget it. Their crime does not deserve death."

Wu Gong nodded, looked at the diners on the ground and said coldly: "Get lost!"

"Yes, yes... get out of here right now cough cough~" The diner on the ground struggled to get up again, but his injuries were too severe that he couldn't even stand up. But he didn't dare to stay any longer, so if he couldn't stand up, he could only grit his teeth and crawl out the door.

But he hadn't climbed far when Wu Gong called out to him, "Wait!"

"Master! What else do you want to do?"

"Has the bill been settled?"

“No… I, I, I… I’ll settle it right away…” Not daring to say anything, the diner hurriedly took out a few copper coins and put them on the ground, then hurriedly crawled out the door.

Wu Gong did not continue to embarrass him. He picked up the copper coin on the ground and handed it to Tian Haoyu, asking with concern: "Are you okay? Are you injured?"

"I didn't, thank you Uncle Wu for helping me..."

Tian Haoyu expressed his sincere gratitude, but did not accept the copper coins from Wu Gong.

She looked at the three bodies on the ground, opened her mouth, and seemed to be hesitant to speak.

"what happened?"

"nothing……"

"I was indeed a little impulsive, but if anyone else bothers you, come to the Shen Mansion to find me."

"Thank you, Uncle Wu."

"You're welcome. Does this happen often?"

"Ah."

"A girl of your age should stay in her boudoir. Why do you come to the store to work? Why doesn't your mother hire some workers to help?" Wu Gong asked again.

When hearing this question, Tian Haoyu showed a bit of bitterness on his face.

Before her father died, there were still two clerks in the store and she was not needed to do anything, but everything changed after her father died.

Because they had offended the local gang, gang members would come here to cause trouble from time to time. Unable to bear the threats, the two guys who were originally working in the store left one after another and went to find work elsewhere.

The location of "Gu Xiang Yi" belongs to the territory of "Nu Feng Tang". In order to avoid provoking this gang and getting into trouble, the people living nearby naturally dare not come to the store to work as helpers.

Nie Yinhua was left alone and couldn't manage the business of the store, so Tian Haoyu volunteered to come to the store to help.

Of course, Nie Yinhuaye had thought about buying a slave, but in this situation, if the store could no longer be run due to the suppression of the "Wufengtang", he couldn't just leave the slave to starve to death, right?

Tian Haoyu knew very well that she and her mother needed a pillar to support the family. Although this would make her feel sorry for her deceased father, she felt extremely heartbroken every time she saw her helpless mother seeing her pretending to be strong.

The burden of the family is still too heavy.

She could also see that Wu Gong was interested in her mother, and he was also the leader of the Tiger Gang. With him around, all the problems she and her mother encountered could be easily solved.

She also had a lot of good feelings for Wu Gong and wanted to bring him together with her mother. Unfortunately, she didn't like Wu Gong very much. Even if she wanted to bring them together, she had to first consider her mother's wishes.

"Oh~" Sighing quietly in his heart, Tian Haoyu was about to explain the reason, but just as he opened his mouth, Nie Yinhua came out from the kitchen.

"Good rain, where are the guests?"

Hearing his mother's voice, Tian Haoyu was startled and quickly looked over.

"Mom! They..." She wanted to explain what had just happened, but after only three words came out of her mouth, Nie Yinhua saw three corpses on the ground.

She turned pale for a moment, then her eyes suddenly focused on Wu Gong and she angrily asked, "What's going on?"

"Mom, don't be angry. These three people just wanted to do something bad to my daughter. Fortunately, Uncle Wu intervened in time and helped me..."

"Alright, alright, I got it, Haoyu, you go in first."

"Mom! Don't be angry, Uncle Wu is not..."

"Listen to mother, you go in first."

"Mom..." Tian Haoyu wanted to say something but stopped herself, but Nie Yinhua glared at her with dissatisfaction, and the words that Tian Haoyu was about to say were glared back at her.

Tian Haoyu couldn't bear to disobey her mother, so she had no choice but to purse her lips and go into the kitchen alone with a wronged look on her face.

After she left, only Nie Yinhua and Wu Gong were left in the store. The two looked at each other in silence. After a long while, Wu Gong said somewhat helplessly: "Yinhua..."

Nie Yinhua didn't give him a good look and interrupted him directly: "What are you doing here again?"

"I just want to apologize to you for all these years..."

"You don't have to apologize. I can't bear it."

"Yinhua, what I did back then was wrong. Please give me a chance."

"How long ago was that? I have forgotten about it over the years. You don't have to mention it. You don't owe me anything."

"Yinhua, I know you're not having a good time..."

"Go away, don't worry about my business." "Yinhua!"

"Go!"

Wu Gong was pushed out. He turned around and wanted to re-enter the store, but the door closed with a bang and he was left standing outside alone.

"Go away, I don't want to see you."

Nie Yinhua's voice was heard from behind the door, and then there was no sound.

Wu Gong wanted to say something several times but knew it was useless to say anything. In the end, he just left a sentence "I will come again" and left alone.

"I dreamed of the painted street several times while drunk~"

"Xiaotangchun is like an old friend~"

"It is hard to break the ties of love even if you break away from the world of mortals..."

“Ask who is like me?”

"Why should people who watch flowers bother to look for the cause and effect?"

"A piece of ice heart can melt, and half of the snow on the body can be shaken off."

"..."

Passing by a theater, Wu Gong was attracted by the melodious and plaintive voices of the actors inside. But after listening for a while, he felt suffocated, so he quickened his pace and ran away.

When he returned to Shen's mansion, he saw a lot of people gathered in the meeting hall. Wu Gong felt strange, so he walked up and asked, "What are you looking at?"

"Master Gong is here! Get out of the way."

"Boss, this is the bill sent by the Black Tiger Hall. Take a look."

Duan Huai handed a stack of documents to Wu Gong, and he glanced at them casually after receiving them. He ignored most of the contents and had no interest in them. But when he got to the last page, he was stunned for a moment, rubbed his eyes and read it again. The next second he got angry and yelled, "Damn it, you don't have to do anything and eat so much! I don't accept it!"

"Boss, calm down. After all, it is..." Wu Sheng paused, looked around, and then stammered to continue: "After all... it was that person's request..."

Wu Gong naturally knew who "that person" was, so he said without thinking: "Let's go to Mingyan Courtyard and talk to him! Let's go!"

"OK then……"

Wu Gong didn't want to waste even a minute, and immediately took Duan Huai to Mingyanyuan. However, when he arrived at the destination and learned that He Jianchuyun and Shen Yi were not there, he was dumbfounded.

"Where is the young lady's contracted beast Xuanli? He's not here either?"

"Miss, when you go out, you will naturally bring the God of Life with you. What do you want to do?"

"Nothing, nothing, just asking where the young lady and the others have gone?"

"I went to the Samsara Dharma Sect. If you have anything, come back later."

"Well...thank you very much then."

"..."

……

Ancient trees are towering, vines are entwined, and a clear and tranquil air seems to be emanating from the sky.

The Samsara Sect, a well-known large sect in the Dahong Kingdom, is located in the embrace of mountains. It is surrounded by clouds and mist, with white cranes crying loudly, like a fairyland on earth.

An ancient road paved with bluestone leads directly to the mountain gate. On both sides, tall pines and cypresses and swaying bamboo shadows bring a touch of coolness and tranquility to visitors.

But looking forward, the endless stone steps of the ancient road and the huge palace standing inside the mountain gate give people a sense of sacredness and solemnity.

Countless buildings are built against the mountain, lined up in one row, layer upon layer, hidden in the clouds, magnificent, epic and mysterious.

Normally, ordinary people cannot see the mountain gate of the Samsara Sect, but today is different. The sect is recruiting new disciples, so the protective formation is temporarily closed and the mountain gate is open. Even in a small town twenty miles away, the buildings inside the sect can be vaguely seen.

The Jieming Dharma Festival had just ended not long ago, and after being idle at home for more than half a year, Zhu Yanhan finally calmed down and prepared to return to the sect. However, returning to the sect was only one of his goals. Several young people from the Zhu family also came with him, and he planned to let them join the sect as his senior brothers.

After three rounds of Jieming rituals, the Zhu family didn't gain much, but one of them succeeded in making a contract with a lower-grade B-level Life God, and the rest were all about the same, their talents were not bad, and the middle-grade and upper-grade C-level Life Gods were just average, barely qualified to enter the sect and become outer disciples.

By the way, Zhu Yanhan stayed at home for more than half a year not for the purpose of bringing a few family members into the sect after the Jieming Dharma Ceremony. The biggest reason was that it was extremely troublesome to enter the sect.

There is a rule in the Samsara Sect, that is, no matter if you are an outer sect member, an inner sect member, a direct disciple, or an outsider, unless it is an urgent matter, no matter what your reason is, as long as you leave the sect, you must go through the "Heart-Forging Path" if you want to come back.

And this "Heart-Forging Road" is the long ancient staircase outside the mountain gate.

If it was just an ordinary mountain climbing, it would be fine. With Zhu Yanhan's cultivation level, it wouldn't take much time to complete the so-called "heart-strengthening road". He would not be so lacking in perseverance.

But the problem is that the "heart-strengthening road" is not easy at all. It becomes more and more strenuous as you go along, and as you get further along, every step you take consumes a lot of physical strength.

Let me put it this way, the old witch and her companions actually arrived yesterday, but they didn’t finish the journey until the next morning.

On the way, Shen Yi saw an ordinary person, who sounded like the son of a wealthy businessman. Others advised him not to go up, but he refused to listen. As a result, after walking through the first 100 steps, he fainted from exhaustion after only walking 50 steps.

There were quite a few people on the Heart-Forging Road, including disciples of the Samsara Sect who had just returned from visiting their relatives, non-disciples who were preparing to join the Wheel Sect, and attendants of the children of large families. There were a lot of people and they were very diverse. On the way, Shen Yi also saw people from the Wu family and the Lin family, as well as disciples from prominent families in other states.

It just so happened that Zhu Yanhan was about to return to the sect, and He Jian Chuyun came with them. Naturally, they wanted to go into the Samsara Sect to take a look. The carriage was parked at the foot of the mountain. Considering that it was not easy to enter the mountain gate, the maids and followers who had no cultivation or low cultivation, represented by Zhu Hong, did not choose to go up the mountain together.

Just waiting at the foot of the mountain.

There were eleven people who chose to go up the mountain with Zhu Yanhan to visit the sect. Excluding Hejian Yanqiu and Hejian Chuyun, the rest were Xiangtao Boyan, two Zhu family guests, and five young people from the Zhu family who wanted to become disciples of the Samsara Sect.

Twelve people in total.

After walking for a whole night, the five young people of the Zhu family had fallen behind. If they waited for them, who knows how long it would take to enter the mountain gate, so Zhu Yanhan did not wait. He was breathing heavily and speaking in a weak voice.

He Jian Yanqiu's cultivation was not very high, and he could barely keep up, but his face turned pale and his clothes at the collar were soaked.

Tsurumi Hatsuun was breathing rapidly, with beads of sweat on the ends of his hair.

"Han'er... how long have we been walking? Why haven't you arrived yet?"

"We're almost there, mother... just be patient a little longer... huh~ huh~ I'm tired, a little tired, but it also has the effect of... tempering the body..." Zhu Yanhan said this, and turned around to glance at the person next to him.

They are still considered lucky, there are many people who are worse off than them.

For example, the outer sect disciple of the Samsara Sect next to him was required by the elders to go up and down the mountain to achieve the body-tempering effect, because walking the mind-tempering path can temper the body. He also had to carry a shoulder pole with two buckets of water hanging on it, so walking was much more tiring than for others.

They were tortured so hard that not a single blood color left their faces and their breathing sounded like the screams of cows.
