Ning Que drank it down with trembling hands.

That's when things stabilized.

Suddenly, he turned his head to look at the wooden box containing the silver.

After you see the pattern clearly...

His pupils contracted.

He said in a trembling voice:

"This luxurious wooden box, with its pattern."

Only the Rune Temple, which controls the lineage of the Imperial Preceptor, possessed this knowledge throughout the entire Tang Dynasty.

I once saw it by chance in a certain place back then...

It has a cross symbol drawn on it.

This represents the current understanding of runes, and was once the Grand Preceptor of the Tang Dynasty.

Only Master Yan Se, the number one divine talisman master in the world, possesses this.

Could that old man just now be Yan Se?

But why would he deliberately give me this hint?

Ning Que is quick-witted.

Ruo Yanse deliberately made things difficult for him.

He might have revealed his identity before even speaking.

They had already been captured by the garrison of Chang'an.

They wouldn't deliberately come to his door; in fact, they pointed him in the right direction to make money.

but.

Ning Que doesn't understand runes.

He also doesn't understand the way of rune cultivation.

He had no idea that he had already caught Yan Se's eye.

Just then.

Suddenly, a man dressed in hemp clothing with a long sword tucked into his waist walked in.

With a smile on his face, he was just about to say something.

Seeing that the surroundings were empty, he couldn't help but frown.

A casual glance revealed the box that Sangsang had opened.

Upon seeing the pattern on the box, his expression changed to one of surprise.

Goodness.

Brother Ning, you've met a benefactor!

The Rune Temple's box, and it belonged to that person.

Did he buy all the calligraphy and paintings in your house?

Tsk tsk…

The more he spoke, the more evident the envy on the man's face became.

cough cough...

I sensed a strange kind of amusement in the man's words.

Ning Que coughed a few times.

His eyes darted around.

He hurriedly stood up and said:

"Brother Chao."

It's all thanks to your care.

Otherwise, how could I afford to open a shop here?

I don't know who the person who came is.

Otherwise, they wouldn't ask you about every single person on a regular basis.

correct.

What brings you here today?

The newcomer was none other than the leader of the West Fang Fish and Dragon Gang, who was also the same Chao Xiaoshu whom Li Chengxian had once called an idiot and someone with a screw loose.

He raised his hand and patted the money box.

Chao Xiaoshu's expression suddenly darkened.

"The person who caused trouble for your shop that day has been found."

It is another powerful gang in Xifang.

Since you're new here, they want to use you to establish their authority in the West Warehouse.

They urged our Fish Dragon Gang to hand over this street.

but.

This gang seems to have dealings with some other forces behind the scenes.

They were powerful and influential figures in the Tang Dynasty.

That's why I've come to find you this time.

I wanted to hear your opinion.

As he spoke, he closed the box containing the silver and patted it hard.

Then he laughed and said:

"Of course, I didn't expect Brother Ning Que to gain the appreciation of a benefactor so quickly."

If you want to leave Xifang City, I, Chao Xiaoshu, will not mind.

After all, people strive for higher positions, and water flows downhill!

In the world of martial arts, many are not in control of their own destiny.

Ning Que suddenly smiled, a hint of speechlessness in his eyes.

Water flows uphill?

Ning Que dared not underestimate the Fish and Dragon Gang, the underground force in Xifang City.

Since arriving in Chang'an.

They tried every possible way to gather information, expending countless manpower and resources, but to no avail.

however.

Ning Que originally thought that the Fish-Dragon Gang was just the boss of the lowly district, a bunch of thugs.

who knows.

With a tentative mindset, Ning Que tried it out and was almost scared to death.

There's nothing they can't get the information about.

Not to mention.

Other gangs all have someone behind the scenes.

However, it is said that it was established from the time the current emperor of the Tang Dynasty ascended the throne until now.

The Fish and Dragon Gang, which has already dominated Xifang City.

and.

Ning Que knew this.

The small tree in front of me.

His own people always call him Second Brother Chao!

If the Fish Dragon Gang is indeed Chao Xiaoshu's own faction.

Ning Que thought it was impossible to use the word "two," and who could make a cultivator with extraordinary swordsmanship talent willingly stay in Xifang City as a gang leader?

Even if you enlist and become a general, you'll be given significant responsibilities!

Since you're the second brother, can you guess who the eldest brother is?

Ning Que spoke almost without thinking:

"Go down low, flow up high."

I'd rather have nothing else.

I only learned two words: loyalty and righteousness.

When I first came to Chang'an, I was very grateful to my second brother, Chao.

So now, the Black Tiger Gang has not only offended me, Ning Que, but also you.

That being the case.

Even if it costs me my life.

We have to do it!

I, Ning Que, still intend to stay here in the future.

As he spoke, Ning Que paid no attention to Sang Sang's reluctant gaze, picked up the box of silver coins, and placed it in Chao Xiaoshu's arms.

He said with a solemn expression:
