The Leisurely Life of a Young Man in the World of Cultivation

Hearing him say that, Lu Changfeng laughed.

"You little brat, so arrogant? You know they're the assistant manager's men, and you still dare to mess with them?"

"Don't forget, the assistant store manager is at least in the late Foundation Establishment stage, and some might even be at the peak of Foundation Establishment. You, a mere Qi Refining Level 3, are you really not afraid of getting beaten to death?!"

However, Li Mingfei didn't get angry; instead, he laughed and looked at Lu Changfeng with a proud expression.

"My father once said,"

"Set your sights on a goal, and never give up, even if it means dying!"

"God will give you everything you deserve!"

Then his tone softened, and after looking around and finding no one else, he whispered something.

"Actually, those two people monitoring me are only at the first level of Qi Refining; I can handle them!"

Lu Changfeng was immediately at a loss for words. He had genuinely thought this guy had some grand ambitions, but it turned out that the other party only had two Qi Refining Level 1 cultivators!

Although Li Mingfei was unlucky, he drank Peach Blossom Wine and jumped from the first level of Qi Refining to the second level. Then he drank Heavenly Starfall and jumped from the second level to the third level of Qi Refining.

Although this guy has an advantage in cultivation level, the difference in Qi Refining stage is very small, so Li Mingfei is skeptical about whether he can defeat him.

But this is a good opportunity to give it a try!

"Alright, I'll leave it to you then. I'll cover for you from behind!"

Seeing that Lu Changfeng would still back him up, Li Mingfei became even more excited and immediately patted his chest to assure him.

"Hehehe, Brother Lu, don't worry, I guarantee I'll handle this matter perfectly for you!"

Soon, the two of them crouched behind the ornamental trees along the road outside the psionic furniture factory. At that moment, Li Mingfei began to explain in a low voice.

"Brother Lu, those two guys are really cunning; they usually only come over when it's almost time to leave work!"

"I think he's just putting on a show for the assistant store manager. He's always slacking off, even lazier than you, Brother Lu!"

Lu Changfeng's face immediately darkened.

At the same time, he decided that if anything unexpected happened later, he would wait until this guy got a good beating before he took action himself.

Sure enough, as the end of the workday approached, the two surveillance guys appeared outside the factory.

However, to his surprise, the people monitoring the factory were not the rogue cultivators he had originally thought. Instead, they turned out to be two random passersby, who had transformed into two unfamiliar Qi Refining Level 1 rogue cultivators.

Seeing this, Lu Changfeng exclaimed, "That was close!"

It's only because I came that Li Mingfei is in trouble today.

But thinking about it, it makes sense. Huo Chongwu had already discussed with Duan Yu about going to headquarters for further training, but in the end, he killed Duan Yu. So there's a high chance that Huo Chongwu's two subordinates were recruited by Duan Yu.

But to his surprise, these two guys actually learned the transformation technique. You should know that this is a very high-quality technique. Didn't you see that there are Golden Core cultivators in the headquarters still using this move?

Perhaps I can get my hands on this trick, so that I can use someone else's name to do something bad in the future, like Ye Tian.

Just as Lu Changfeng was still looking for an opportunity, Li Mingfei had already rushed forward.

"Damn it, you two bastards, what are you doing here? Are you trying to cause trouble?!"

"Stop making excuses, the facts are right here. The hard-won commercial atmosphere of Tianxing City has been ruined by scoundrels like you!"

"Today I will seek justice for our vast number of independent cultivators!"

With that, he patted the storage bag at his waist, and a mid-grade first-level spirit sword appeared in his hand. He then charged forward with the sword.

However, at this moment, Lu Changfeng behind them all gaped open.

"Holy crap, they label you first, then choose sides—that's a powerful and avant-garde style of play!"

"This Li Mingfei is something else!"

However, before he could finish speaking, he bumped into several cultivators who had just come out of the factory. After rolling around on the road a few times, he collapsed in front of two passersby.

Then they saw Li Mingfei slowly raise his head, looking at the two people in front of him with his bruised and swollen face.

"Ahem, well, would you believe me if I said what I just said wasn't about you?"

Snapped!

Lu Changfeng immediately covered his forehead.

"What a talent!"

The next moment, two passersby pinned him to the ground and beat him severely.

Fortunately, both of them knew they were in a disguise, so they only used the first level of their spiritual power.

Even so, Li Mingfei was still being beaten and rolling around.

Just then, the guards from the psionic furniture factory rushed out.

"Stop! What are you doing?"

Although the captain of the guard team was only at the mid-stage of Qi Refining, the two passersby exchanged a glance when they saw that he had been exposed, and then quickly fled the place.

Li Mingfei had just breathed a sigh of relief when he was arrested by the guards.

Upon seeing this, he quickly spoke up.

"Brothers in the guard team, I'm a good person, really, I'm a really good person!"

"If you don't believe me, you can ask my brother Lu."

"Brother Lu, help me! Brother Lu!"

However, when faced with Li Mingfei's heart-wrenching cries, the guards also turned their gazes toward him, their faces full of mockery.

Actually, the guards had already spotted Li Mingfei when he rushed out, but since they didn't know what was going on, they decided to check the situation first.

But to their surprise, the scene was so funny. They wanted to see who the boss was, since there was such a pathetic underling.

Upon witnessing this, Lu Changfeng was immediately overcome with intense shame.

No, he absolutely refused to admit that Li Mingfei had any relationship with him. He was destined to become a supreme being, so there could be no stain on his career.

In a flash, he immediately came up with a solution.

Thinking of this, he slowly stood up, then whistled, and pretended to unzip his pants.

"What's wrong? I'm just going to the bathroom!"

"Fine, if they won't let us on, then so be it!"

At this moment, everyone around couldn't help but gape.

Good heavens, they exclaimed, "Good heavens!"

In order to deny acknowledging his underling, he actually preferred to admit that he had gone to the toilet in public.

For a moment, everyone around them doubted whether they had misheard, but seeing Lu Changfeng whistling as he left, they felt it was still too surreal.

However, Li Mingfei, who was pinned to the ground, panicked and struggled like a stranded fish.

After dark, Lu Changfeng led Li Mingfei out of the factory. Before leaving, he looked around to make sure no one was watching, and only then did he breathe a sigh of relief.

"Phew, nobody's here. Let's go outside!"

However, Li Mingfei, who was following behind Lu Changfeng, looked utterly despondent. Heaven knows how much ridicule he suffered after being locked up in the factory.

Seeing this, Lu Changfeng couldn't help but pat him on the shoulder.

"Golden rooster, take it easy. Life is short, only a few decades. Sometimes you just close your eyes and it's over!"

"It's no big deal!"

However, Li Mingfei was so angry that he jumped up and down.

"Nonsense, we're not mocking you, so of course you can say that."

Seeing this, Lu Changfeng quickly comforted him, admitting that leaving him there was indeed a bit unfair of him.

"Oh, it's no big deal. I'll bring you a cup of green bamboo tea when we get back!"

Upon hearing the name "green bamboo," Li Mingfei's eyes lit up.

"make a deal!"
