Even if you belong to a demonic sect, you still have to bring glory to the country.

Chapter 31 Taking Guan Zhong to a Buffet

Tell me how scary that is!

Li Sui immediately called out to Guan Zhong, "Don't go yet!"

Fortunately, Guan Zhong was not a reckless person. Upon hearing this, he immediately became obedient: "Master, spare his life for now?"

Li Sui said resentfully, "What exactly did the Weaver Girl say to you last night? In our world, not only is killing forbidden, but even hitting people is prohibited!"

Guan Zhong stared wide-eyed in astonishment: "What if there's someone I don't like?"

Li Sui: "That won't do either!"

Guan Zhong's face showed a look of incomprehension: "Then wouldn't all my martial arts skills be..."

Li Sui: "Completely useless! No, that's not quite right. It might be useful in very special circumstances."

Guan Zhong was greatly affected.

He learned martial arts not to help the weak and fight the strong, but so that no one could bully him.

He couldn't believe it: "Is it possible that everyone in this world can treat each other kindly and never lay a hand on anyone?"

Li Sui: "That's not the case. Fighting and brawling are still quite common."

Guan Zhong: "Then why can't I?"

Li Sui adopted the demeanor of a cult leader: "I am the cult leader, will you listen to me or not?"

Guan Zhong said dejectedly, "I'll listen to the leader."

Two drops of sweat dripped from Li Sui's forehead.

Damn it.

Despite having the character "忠" (loyalty) in his name, Guan Zhong doesn't fit the image of an honest and simple person. He's a bit extreme, unlike Zhi Niang who likes to stir up trouble and make things worse. Guan Zhong always believes that the truth comes from the fist, and he does things in a simple and brutal way.

Fortunately, he is a very loyal person.

When the old leader passed away, he told Guan Zhong that the new leader could only rely on him. Guan Zhong, who was entrusted with an important task, still respected Li Sui.

Li Sui earnestly advised, "The reason I don't want you to take action is because our world has its own set of laws. We can't act like we do in the Great Liang Dynasty. You can't take action unless absolutely necessary. Once you do, you'll be arrested by the public security authorities!"

Guan Zhong: "What is a public security organ?"

"...Uh, it's similar to the government offices in your area."

Upon hearing that it was the government office, Guan Zhong's face immediately showed a mocking expression.

Li Sui knew why Guan Zhong acted this way. At that time, the imperial court was no good, and these imperial institutions were even worse.

Guan Zhong was a victim of persecution by the government.

Li Sui couldn't explain this thousand-year gap to him in a few words, so he could only say, "The public security organs here are different from the government offices before. You'll understand once you've been here a while."

"In short, if anything happens during this period, please don't act impulsively. If you encounter any trouble outside, let me know first."

What's the difference?

Guan Zhong did not believe it.

None of the imperial court's lackeys are good!
Since the cult leader had repeatedly emphasized this, Guan Zhong wouldn't be so stubborn. He looked at the person following them in the distance, whose flaws were obvious at every turn, and asked, "Then shouldn't we deal with him?"

Li Sui stroked his chin: "Then I'll help you look at houses these next few days. You can follow him and see if he has anyone backing him?"

Li Sui couldn't believe that someone was following him.

She was quite famous in the Moon Community, and this person's audacity in following her showed he was obviously an outsider.

At this critical juncture, the appearance of someone following them makes it hard not to think of the Wen family.

Especially her poisonous father.

Li Sui waved her hand: "Pretend you didn't see it. Let's go eat first."

When the topic of food came up, Guan Zhong smiled slightly.

The meal we ate last night, the Weaver Girl said, was takeout ordered by the cult leader.

As long as you have money, anything you want can be delivered to your home. And this isn't a service only for the wealthy and powerful; it's available to everyone, even ordinary people.

This was already quite unbelievable to Guan Zhong.

He had never seen it before and couldn't imagine how such a magical world could have been built.

Considering that he would be ruined if he had just eaten alone with Guan Zhong near the neighborhood, Li Sui called Yu Liangliang.

"Brother Liang, where did you take Zhiniang? Let's have lunch together."

Yu Liangliang took Zhiniang out to familiarize herself with the environment, which was Zhiniang's request.

Knowing that Li Sui had things to do these past few days, the weaver didn't bother her.

Yu Liangliang replied quickly: "Okay, where should we eat? I'll bring Zhiniang back."

"Just bring Zhiniang to that all-you-can-eat hot pot restaurant near our house."

For the first meal I took Guan Zhong to, we started with a buffet to whet his appetite.

It's no exaggeration to say that if Guan Zhong were to eat at a normal restaurant, Li Sui would be bankrupt by now, if Li Ping hadn't been born into wealth.

Li Sui took Guan Zhong inside and explained the rules of the buffet restaurant to him.

The restaurant was quite large, with a dazzling array of dishes, meats, and seafood displayed on the counters. The air-conditioned counters made Guan Zhong's eyes dazzled.

Upon hearing Li Sui say that for a certain amount of money, one could eat as much as one wanted, Guan Zhong was shocked: "Really?"

Li Sui nodded: "Yes, you can take whatever you want to eat or drink, but you must finish what you take and not waste it, otherwise you will be fined."

Guan Zhong looked at the many foods he had never seen before, and his expression became complicated.

Just how wealthy must someone be to dare make such a promise?

Even the emperor of the Great Liang Dynasty probably didn't have the financial resources to provide unlimited supply of vegetables, meat, and seafood with a fixed amount of money.

Even later, when he was in the Demonic Sect, Guan Zhong, as the Left Protector, could only eat a white flour bun and stewed meat that was very tender every two or three days.

Those at the very bottom could only drink meat broth.

This alone has already satisfied many people.

Later, the cult leader arrived. She couldn't conjure food out of thin air, but following her methods, everyone gradually ate and drank more, though it was still far from comparable to this situation.

For a moment, Guan Zhong understood.

If he lived in a place like this, he could be a very amiable person.

Instead of spending all their time thinking about how to overthrow the imperial court and those corrupt officials.

He wasn't acting for the sake of the world; he just wanted to seek justice for himself.

But justice was never served. The person who harmed him died in the war, and his body could not be found.

He didn't even know who to seek revenge from.

When he was feeling lost, it was the old leader who told him that he had to follow the new leader, which at least gave him a goal to continue doing things.

His eyes immediately welled up with tears.

He thought of his wife and daughter.

They separated; they stayed in the Demonic Sect's territory and didn't come out. Guan Zhong was somewhat relieved that they hadn't come out, but now he also felt a little regretful.

If they come out with us, can they also enter the cult leader's world?

Guan Zhong's silent demeanor inside the shop had already attracted the attention of other customers.

A middle-aged man who looked to be in his forties looked sad as he looked at a plate of freshly cooked lobster.

The college student, who happened to be standing in front of the lobsters and was waiting for them to come out so he could grab both plates of lobsters at once, said awkwardly:

"It's just an extra plate of lobster, it shouldn't make you cry..."
