From Under One Person: Sincere Journey Through the Heavens

# Chapter 112 The Lower Class

"Calm down."

Lu Jin stopped Li Muxuan, who was about to make a move, and whispered in his ear, "Unless he makes the first move, we really can't act rashly."

Damn it!

Li Muxuan suddenly realized that, in this respect, the Quanxing people were more free, while the orthodox sects were somewhat constrained.

Some time ago, although he did teach Ren Wei a lesson with his abilities, it was done in secret. In fact, since Ren Wei was not injured, it could only be considered a harmless prank.

Luo Laowai ignored Li Muxuan, who exuded a childlike air, and focused all his attention on Jiang Liu.

This precocious young man is truly intriguing!

“The two young ladies of the Ren family are our friends. It is probably a bit unreasonable for Commander Luo to force them to become your concubines along with their cousin.”

Jiang Liu stated his purpose directly.

"You're mistaken. I was just taking care of an old friend's daughter." Facing Jiang Liu, Luo Laowai was actually a little flustered.

Judging from the fact that he dared to threaten his own life with his abilities yesterday, this kid's way of doing things is definitely much more flexible than most of the extraordinary people on the mountain.

No matter how outrageous the strange people on the mountain are, they wouldn't dare to directly attack anyone other than bandits. But this kid is different. He gives the impression that he'll stop at nothing to achieve his goals.

Although Luo Laowai was certain that this person would never actually use his abilities to kill him.

but--

He used to be a bandit, fearless of death, but now that he's a warlord and has a reputation, he's become more cautious about his life and dares not gamble with it anymore.

"So you want to take care of her in bed, right?"

Li Muxuan sneered.

"You're too young to understand what it's like."

Luo Laowai chuckled, but a hint of disdain flashed in his eyes: In the end, he was just a child.

But Jiang Liu changed the subject, saying, "If I'm not mistaken, your purpose in doing this is simply to acquire the Ren family's wealth, expand your military, and purchase foreign weapons to further strengthen your subordinates' combat capabilities, thereby establishing a greater power, right?"

Now, Luo Laowai's eyes turned serious. He put his legs down from the coffee table, gave Jiang Liu a thumbs up, and showed a mouthful of yellow teeth. He said, "Impressive. You see things so clearly at such a young age. I once met a strange person from a small Taoist temple on the mountain. He was over twenty years old and still very naive. He stuck to his rigid principles and didn't know how to be flexible. In the end, he went to reason with one of my mortal enemies on an empty stomach and was shot dead."

Whether the story is true or false, Jiang Liu doesn't know, but one thing is certain:

Luo Laowai is threatening.

As soon as he finished speaking, an adjutant led more than twenty men into the room, all of whom raised their rifles and pointed them at Jiang Liu, Lu Jin, and Li Muxuan.

"I can go archaeological dig with you."

With a wave of his hand, Jiang Liu's invisible magnetic field suppressed Lu Jin and Li Muxuan, who were about to set off. He stared at Luo Laowai and spoke slowly and deliberately.

"Heh, if I got the Ren family's assets, would I need to rob tombs?"

Luo Laowai grinned maliciously.

"Because you don't know how to do business."

Upon hearing this, Luo Laowai's ferocious smile instantly froze.

indeed.

If he knew how to do business, would he need to get rich by robbing tombs?

Moreover, he also learned on this day that the Ren family's business was already declining, and many businesses had even been interrupted due to Ren Fa's sudden death, resulting in significant losses. Now, they were only a moderately wealthy household in Renjia Town, and the assets they left behind could not buy many foreign guns.

In fact, the Ren family still had a lot of money left. However, due to Jiang Liu's suggestion, and because Ren Tingting was a woman of action, she immediately found someone to purchase a large number of looms and fabrics from nearby big cities. In addition, she signed an agreement with construction workers in Renjia Town to prepare for building a textile factory, recruiting workers, and so on.

This caused the Ren family to lose most of their wealth at once.

"Now that the Ren family has lost its patriarch, Ren Tingting has just returned from studying abroad and is taking over the family business. She needs time to familiarize herself with it, and the family will suffer losses for the next year."

A year is not a long time.

But for Luo Laowai, the year was a year of losses, so his time as a warlord was coming to an end.

The soldiers under his command were willing to follow him not out of loyalty, but because he could pay them off and provide them with benefits. If he stopped paying, would his men still be willing to follow him?

He definitely has to take his place!

"One year is the most conservative estimate. I'm sure Commander Luo knows that in our land, it's very difficult for women to hold up half the sky. You're not going to take the Ren family's existing assets as concubines and then just leave without giving them any benefits, are you?"

After Jiang Liu finished speaking, he asked again, "Or do you want to bring them with you to fight alongside you in the future?"

Luo Laowai's lips twitched.

Choose the former.

His reputation was ruined.

Although warlords don't have a good reputation, who would believe someone who doesn't even care about their family?

Choose the latter.

Doesn't that mean you're just bringing three burdens along?

This is also one of the reasons why Luo Laowai hesitated.

"I think I understand that you don't want a slow and steady relationship."

Jiang Liu smirked, “Heroes always seize the day, and we cultivators also believe that if we hear the Dao in the morning, we can die happy in the evening. We are the same as you.”

Commander Luo, what do you say?

"Ha ha!"

Luo Laowai laughed loudly and cursed at the adjutant and the armed soldiers, "Damn it! Who let you in? Quickly apologize to the guests!"

The adjutant and soldiers hurriedly holstered their weapons, bowed deeply to Jiang Liu, Lu Jin, and Li Muxuan, and apologized...

···

"Thanks to you all."

After Luo Laowai and his group left the Ren family, Ren Jiating, Ren Tingting, and Xiu Huabai came out together to express their gratitude.

Watching Luo Laowai and the others' retreating figures, Ren Jiating clenched her fists and gritted her teeth, saying, "This is the first time I've ever met such shameless people!"

"Luo Laowai, this man may seem burly, but he is also very meticulous. After all, at the peak of his power, he was able to command more than 10,000 men."

Jiang Liu revealed Luo Laowai's true nature: "His understanding of supernatural beings may not include the specific details of the divisions between the major sects, but his overall understanding is enough for him to treat the same/different supernatural beings with different attitudes in different places and at different times."

When threatened, adopt a humble attitude; if he is in the right, then act arrogantly, but also maintain a relaxed demeanor.

Not a good person.

But he was indeed a ruthless and unscrupulous hero.

Ren Tingting asked in surprise, "Brother Jiang, you admire that Luo Laowai?"

"Heroes are those who stop at nothing, and true heroes never waver in their original aspirations."

Jiang Liu shook his head. "These days, there are plenty of people who will stop at nothing."

Ren Tingting understood.

Outlaws and bandits are all ruthless and can be called "heroes," but how many of them can be called true heroes?

Only a handful.

"Are you really going to go tomb raiding with them?" Ren Jiating brought up the matter, "This is the most disliked thing."

"I'm just a layman, a magician at that. If you really think about it, I'm from the lowest class. I don't come from the highest religions, so I don't care."

Jiang Liu didn't care at all.

"I almost forgot, to be honest, my Jiyun Society is also a low-class organization."

Ren Jiating was stunned for a moment, then burst out laughing...

Chapter 113 is clearly archaeology!

"I'm sorry to have troubled you."

Ren Tingting felt somewhat guilty.

Ultimately, it was for the safety of the Ren family that Jiang Liu decided to go with Luo Laowai; otherwise, there would have been no need to get involved in this mess.

"It's alright."

Jiang Liu smiled faintly, "I come from a lowly background, so understanding tomb raiding can broaden my horizons. And speaking of which—"

He turned to look at Lu Jin and Li Muxuan and asked, "Why don't you two go back to the Sanyi Sect first? It doesn't look good for Xuanmen disciples to get involved in tomb raiding."

"No, Brother Jiang, I want to go with you and broaden my horizons."

Indeed.

If word got out that members of the Taoist sect were involved in tomb raiding, it would certainly be met with criticism...

The Lu family's upbringing also made it difficult for him to do such a thing...

However, neither the Sanyi Sect nor the Lu family seems to have explicitly stipulated that their disciples or family members are prohibited from engaging in archaeology.

That's right!

This is not tomb raiding!

It's archaeology!

Lu Jin is now really acting a bit like "Pigsy" – anything not prohibited by law is permissible.

Li Muxuan, needless to say, was incredibly stubborn, and often verbally clashed with Jiang Liu, saying, "Who do you think you are? The thing I, Li Muxuan, like to do most is break the rules! That scarred face dared to let 'Axeman' hide outside the door, I'm going to get my revenge!"

This is also Li Muxuan's personality.

Not one to suffer a loss!

If you suffer a loss at Zuo Ruotong's hands, since he is your master, like a father, it is only right for you to discipline him, your son.

But others can't!
