Chapter 25 Zhu Family Regrets
Zhu family.

"Master, Old Li did go to the Tiandi League, and he became a leader of something!"

The Zhu family steward said.

"really?"

"It is absolutely true. I heard it from the people of the Tiandi League myself."

Zhu Ping, the master of the Zhu family, narrowed his eyes.

"You are so good, Old Li. You kept it a secret from me."

It has been less than two months since Li Rui redeemed himself. He used to be a groom of the Zhu family, but he suddenly became a guest of honor of the Tiandi Alliance.

He knew that it was not easy to join the Tiandi Alliance, let alone become the hall master, who at least had to be an entry-level warrior.

His son Zhu Yue had told him before that Li Rui had learned martial arts, but he never expected that Li Rui could actually become a martial artist.

There is a world of difference between an ordinary warrior and a high-level warrior.

Zhu Lie, the second master of the Zhu family, snorted coldly: "He is just a hall master, what a nobody!"

Zhu Ping glared at his second brother.

He probably already knew why Li Rui insisted on leaving the Zhu family. This matter must be related to Zhu Lie.

"You are short-sighted."

Zhu Ping scolded Zhu Lie in frustration.

The leader of the Tiandi League must be at least an entry-level warrior. If Li Rui was still in the Zhu family, wouldn’t the Zhu family be able to get a house-guarding warrior for free?

In order to support those warriors, the Zhu family spends hundreds of taels of silver every year.

Moreover, warriors trained by oneself are of course easier to control than those hired from outside.

After scolding Zhu Lie, he gave instructions to the middle-aged manager.

"I remember that Old Li has another apprentice, named, called."

"Wang Zhao."

"Yes, Wang Zhao, give him a 30% increase in salary, give him a day off, and ask him to go to the Tiandi League to walk around."

"Yes."

The middle-aged butler was a little surprised and didn't understand why Zhu Ping attached so much importance to Li Rui.

Zhu Lie was also puzzled: "Brother, he is just an entry-level warrior. Why should my Zhu family be afraid of him?"

Zhu Ping glared at Zhu Lie and said, "You know nothing. The sky in Qinghe is about to change!"

Inside Tianyi Hall.

"Are you Liu Tong?"

As soon as Li Rui walked into the building after practicing sword skills, he saw a young disciple of the Tiandi League who he didn't recognize.

Liu Tong looked at Li Rui and said, "Master Li, my brother-in-law asked me to go for a drink yesterday. I can't refuse. If my brother-in-law sees me again some other day, I will definitely invite Master Li to come with me."

Li Rui smiled and waved his hand: "I'm old, so I won't go."

Tianyitang has two relationships.

But the two of them have very different personalities.

Zhou Shulin is very cautious and does things in a submissive manner for fear of making mistakes, while Liu Tong looks like a playboy who has been drained by alcohol and sex.

Let's take a closer look.

It's roughly the same relationship as that between Zhou Shulin and Deputy Captain Zhou. He should have tried every possible means to get this position. But Liu Tong is different. His sister is favored and he is good at handling things, so of course he is much bolder.

There is no high or low, just different situations.

As for the relationship with Liu Tong, Li Rui naturally chose to let it go, as long as it didn't cause trouble.

He is in class today.

This is a place where we don't seek to make any achievements, but only to avoid mistakes.

And it seems that Liu Tong will not stay in Tianyi Hall for long.

At noon, Liu Tong slipped away in the name of his brother-in-law, the deputy helmsman, leaving only Li Rui, Zhou Shulin and Liang He in Tianyi Hall.

They have a very clear division of labor.

Zhou Shulin is responsible for daily affairs during the day.

Liang He is responsible for the night duty.

Li Rui finally settled into a retired life of drinking tea and reading books. Although Tianyi Pavilion did not have many useful techniques, it had a collection of many Taoist classics.

There are a lot of Taoist allusions mixed in the White Ape's Sword, some of which Li Rui still has only a vague understanding of to this day.

Books were expensive in ancient times. Any random book would cost one hundred coins, and more expensive ones would even cost several taels of silver.

Therefore, "poor in literature but rich in martial arts" is not appropriate.

Practicing martial arts costs money, but studying costs just as much.

Now that there are free books to read, Li Rui will certainly not miss it.

"Qi transforms into the Three Pure Ones, and the body can carry the Tao. The source is the innate Taoism, and the flow is the Laojun Dharma lineage. There are three paths, upper, middle and lower. The upper one is Niwan, the middle one is Chicheng, and the lower one is Qihai."

Li Rui was flipping through the book.

When I looked up again.

Before I knew it, it was already dusk.

"Wonderful!"

Li Rui closed the Taoist scripture in his hand, and some of the sword techniques that he had previously been confused about suddenly became clear to him.

He was also surprised to find out.

When I was reading, the speed of the White Ape Sword Breathing Method became much faster.

He doesn’t know whether Yan Ruyu exists in the book, but he can really become stronger!
Zhou Shulin packed the meal in a lunch box and sent it to his home.

Li Rui suddenly felt that Zhou Shulin was actually a kid who could be trained.

It’s a pity that the power of his position is almost zero, so he can’t help Zhou Shulin at all.

Finished the meal.

Li Rui started practicing with the sword again.

After practicing the White Ape Sword Technique once, he stopped and looked at his arm with a frown. The medicinal power of the Xiao Yuan Dan was finally used up.

"Let's go to the pharmacy tomorrow."

Each branch of the Tiandi League generally has seven halls, namely the Wenwu Hall, the Zhongyi Hall, the Yinjian Hall, the Jielu Hall, the Yaotang, the Chuanfa Hall, and the Tianyi Hall. Of course, in addition to the seven halls, the Tiandi League also has many industries in Qinghe, such as restaurants, brothels, gambling houses, etc.

These places are collectively called places.

Every place has a deacon, whose status is equivalent to that of the hall master.

Most of those from the Dark Eight Gates who joined the Heaven and Earth Alliance became deacons in charge of the place.

The hall master is usually someone brought from the headquarters by the leader and deputy leader. Tianyi Hall had very little profit, so Li Rui took advantage of the opportunity.

In addition to receiving a considerable salary, joining the Tiandi Alliance also has another benefit, which is the abundant resources.

For example, when disciples of the Tiandi League buy elixirs in their own pharmacy, the price is at least 20% cheaper than that of Danwangfang, and hall masters like Li Rui can get a 30% discount.

Over time, you can save a lot of money.

Li Rui now has a full 130 taels of silver on him, which is enough to last for a while. The salary from the Tiandi Alliance is still paid monthly, so if he saves a little, it will be enough to last for a few months.

The next morning.

Li Rui showed up at Tianyi Hall and gave some instructions to Zhou Shulin and Liang He.

So I went straight to the pharmacy.

Along the way, the disciples of the Tiandi League saw the token with the number "28" engraved on his waist and started whispering to each other.

"That old man is the new head of Tianyi Hall. I heard from the Wenwu Hall that he is already seventy years old."

"Gui Gui, seventy, older than my grandfather."

"No wonder even after reaching the rank, he can only be the head of Tianyi Hall, even worse than the deputy head."

"Shh, speak softly."

The disciples of the Tiandi League tried their best to lower their voices, but after Li Rui practiced the breathing technique, his hearing was far superior to that of ordinary people, and he heard every word of what was said.

"That's the downside of being old."

Li Rui smiled and shook his head.

It is said that people become more obedient at the age of sixty. He is already seventy and has long stopped caring about these things.

What is "Don't bully the poor young people"?
Just follow your own path.
