Chapter Fourteen: With Malicious Intent

  Shi Tianlong entered the Tianya Building, and Yu Zecheng brought four disciples to follow him in. Shi Tianlong looked at Lin Ye Hong and said with a puzzled expression:

  "Are the wolf's leaves red?"

  Lin Ye Hong bowed with his fists together and replied:

  "Met Dragon Brother, three years ago we parted ways but he's still as dashing as ever."

  Shi Tianlong reached out and grabbed Lin Ye Hong's arm, saying:

  "When I first heard that you were in trouble, I was heartbroken for half a day. Later, when I heard that your great revenge had been avenged, I was truly happy for you. What are you doing now......"

  Lin Ye Hong replied directly:

  "I am now Hei Hu Tang's disciple Lin Ye Hong, Yu Zhi Shi's junior apprentice."

  Shi Tianlong said:

  "Ma Laohei really doesn't recognize talent, narrow-minded, you're more than qualified to be a captain, but with me..."

  Yu Ze Cheng said on the side:

  "Big brother, don't be like this, must you always take advantage of me as soon as we meet?"

  Shi Tianlong came back to his senses, let out a hearty laugh and said:

  "Sorry little brother, big brother got a bit carried away when he met an old friend. Forgive me, I'll make it up to you, hurry and bring me some wine and dishes."

  Suddenly another table of wine and dishes was set up. Liu Hu Zi couldn't help but frown, having already eaten his fill, did he still want to eat?

  Yu Ze Cheng then suddenly felt nothing, the feeling of being full from eating just now slowly disappeared, and his stomach was hungry again. Is this Blood Ring Technique actually a Gluttony Technique, allowing oneself to eat so much?

  Everyone took their seats, and a problem arose. Originally, Yu Ze Cheng's disciples did not have the right to sit at this table, but Lin Ye Hong and Shi Tian Long knew each other, and Lin Ye Hong was once famous, so he was pulled over to this table.

  Fu Gang and his father were arranged to sit at a table outside, accompanied by others. Liu Huzi and the others thought it was very normal, in their eyes, Fu Gang's family and Lin Yehong were not on the same level.

  But Yu Zhen smiled and said:

  "Father is here, come over, you three sit at this table too."

  As soon as this was said, everyone suddenly froze. In fact, the table was big enough to seat everyone, but they all knew that the beauties from the rouge building would come over to keep them company later, and the remaining seats were reserved for them.

  Liu Huzi thought Yu Zecheng didn't know, and said:

  "There's another table outside with exactly the same food and drinks."

  Yu Ze smiled and said:

  "They are all my disciples, they are all my brothers, the Black Tiger Hall's brothers are like limbs, no one can be special."

  Although he spoke with a smile, his words were firm and decisive. If Lin Ye Hong could eat at this table, then Fu Gang and the others could too. Yu Ze Cheng treated them equally, no matter what they thought of him as a useless wolf, in Yu Ze Cheng's eyes, he was just his own subordinate disciple.

  In an instant, everyone's gaze at Yu Ze Cheng changed, Fu Qiang and Fu Chen brothers' eyes lit up when looking at Yu Ze Cheng, this kind of respect can make people share life and death.

  Shi Tianlong smiled and said:

  "Alright, everyone sit down, you're doing great, little brother. No wonder White Brother took a liking to you. Treating his disciples like brothers is truly heroic. Quick, go call Zui Wei, Man Qiao, and Zhi Xiu over, let's take a look at this young handsome guy."

  Upon hearing Zhuī Wēi, Màn Qiǎo and Zhǐ Huì, Liu Húzi's eyes lit up at once and he said:

  "This is actually Rouged Pavilion's top courtesan, I'm also honored by her presence, it's truly a great honor."

  Soon, the soft and delicate laughter of a woman could be heard from outside, this voice was so sweet that it made people feel suffocated. Then more than ten beauties walked over from outside, they were either elegant and refined, or petite and charming, or bold and unrestrained, or gentle and lovely, each one was a top-notch beauty, the most beautiful among beauties.

  After these beauties came in, they all made a bow and said:

  "I've seen all of you seniors, I have arrived."

  Shi Tianlong said:

  "Alright, let's take our seats quickly, Le Feng, Yu Die this is my younger brother, come and keep me company."

  After finishing, the two women walked to Yu Ze Cheng's side, one on the left and one on the right, sat down, and accompanied Yu Ze Cheng. The two women, Le Xiang was lively and cheerful, with fair skin and a slender figure, like a neighbor's little sister. Yu Die was elegant and beautiful, with a gentle and refined demeanor, doing things steadily, like an elder sister of a noble family.

  Yu Zecheng poured a full cup of wine and placed it beside him, not saying anything, but taking meticulous care of Yu Zecheng. Le Shuang smiled and chatted with Yu Zecheng, her youthful vitality revealed in every smile and movement.

  The wine party began, and Shi Tianlong raised his glass for a toast. Then the others followed suit, and everyone raised their glasses to drink together, in a harmonious atmosphere of host and guest blending together.

  Yu Zhen and others had just finished eating, it can be said that everyone ate very full, just to liven up the atmosphere, Shi Tianlong and others were also like this, everyone was just using the wine table to liven up the atmosphere.

  After three rounds of drinks, Shi Tianlong said:

  "Little brother, I won't always be here. If you have something to do, look for your nephew. This kid is our family's eldest son Shi Fangwen, he's the head of the mountain bamboo city's police department. If you have something to do, look for him. If he's not around, then look for second brother Shi Fangwu, he's the manager of the Rouge Building. If I'm not here and you have something to do, just look for them, they'll definitely be able to help."

  The two young men sitting next to Shi Tianlong couldn't help but lower their heads when they heard this. They were both in their twenties, yet suddenly had a fourteen-year-old uncle, which was naturally embarrassing.

  Shi Tianlong saw this scene and suddenly slammed his hand on the table, roaring:

  "Little rabbits, what's wrong with you? Don't you want to? This is my brother, he's your uncle, hurry up and call him."

  Yu Zhen was about to speak when Shi Tianlong waved his hand and said:

  "Little brother, sit down and mind your own business. Look at how young they are, and yet they dare to look down on me, their father?"

  Shi Tianlong's eyes widened in anger, and the two young men were immediately frightened. They stood up and saluted Yu Zecheng respectfully, saying:

  The nephew has seen his uncle.

  Two young men in their twenties actually paid respects to a fourteen-year-old kid, no need to ask what they would be thinking.

  Yu Ze Cheng said calmly:

  "You two are too polite, we just talk about ourselves, what virtues and abilities do we have to receive your courtesy."

  Shi Tianlong, who was beside him, pulled Yu Zecheng and said:

  "Little brother, sit down. You two listen up! I know you're not convinced in your hearts, but I don't care. Remember, this is your uncle, and even if he's younger than you, he's still your uncle. Whoever messes with him is messing with me, which means kicking your dad in the face. Got it?"

  The last few words were said with gritted teeth, and the two answered in unison:

  "Remember this. The child will absolutely not bring shame to his father."

  Shi Tianlong just waved his hand, and the matter was settled. The wine continued to be drunk for another hour before it finally came to an end. This was still because Yu Zecheng had not yet completed the task of taking over the territory.

  Shi Tianlong personally escorted them out of the Rouge Building and instructed them to come again tomorrow night for a banquet, or else it would be absolutely useless.

  As Yu Ze Cheng and the others slowly left and disappeared into the distance, Shi Fang Wen said:

  "Father, must you treat him like this? He's just a small chef, a little kid. Although the White Gate master has given us orders, we brothers can just receive him."

  Shi Tianlong let out a cold snort and said:

  "You understand what this means, if this kid didn't have any use value, why would Bai Hezi treat him like this and speak up for him? I heard that just now he used the Flame Technique at the Mountain Tiger Branch, it must be Bai Hezi who taught him. And now there's news that Bai Hezi has returned and been accepted as an inner disciple of the Water Cloud Sect."

  Wait until Bai Hezi has stabilized his position and established a foundation, in other words, he will become Bai Hezi's disciple in the future and enter the inner gate of Shuiyun Sect. Can you still not be happy to acknowledge such a cultivator as your uncle?

  Shi Fangwen replied:

  "No way, he can become an immortal cultivator? Looks like I'll have to fawn over him from now on."

  Shi Tianlong said:

  "Remember, from now on, invite him every time and let Le Rong and Yu Die entertain him. I know you guys have a crush on them, but remember they are not people we can mess with, don't be fooled by them, let your uncle play with them."

  Shi Fangwen asked:

  "Dad, I understand. By the way, just now Tan Er Lang's underling reported that Tan Er Lang won't accept defeat so easily. He is busy consolidating his power and will definitely make a move against Yu Ze Cheng in the future. Should we stop Tan Er Lang's actions?"

  Shi Tianlong replied:

  "Don't bother, let Tan Er Lang do what he wants. If he can't even get through such a small wave, then there's no need for us to invest."

  Tan Er Lang couldn't help but let out a loud sneeze behind Shi Tian Long's back and said:

  "Damn it, who's talking about me behind my back again."

  Hu Kai said beside him:

  "Second brother, what are we going to do about this kid? He's been acknowledged as Stone Tianlong's younger brother and publicly declared that if you bully him, he'll break your legs. What should we do?"

  Tan Er Lang said:

  "What to do? Let's just cool down for now. Originally, I only wanted to prop him up as a puppet and let Mo Tu help us manage that street. Now that Shi Tianlong has provoked me like this, if I really back down, what face would I have left to hang out here? This Shi Tianlong is really nothing. Like this, suddenly, I and this kid don't have any room for maneuvering anymore. We'll have to exchange a couple of blows at least."

  The butterfly said:

  "But he's good at magic."

  Tan Er Lang said:

  "It's just a flame technique after all, Big Brother has an immortal to worship, if it really doesn't work out then ask him to take action."

  Besides, it's not necessarily you and me who have to take action personally. Isn't Mo Liqing shouting for revenge? This is the brother of Bai He Xi, the leader of their gang, who was killed by us. That should be enough weight. However, we haven't reached that step yet. For now, let's not bother with this kid. First, let's fully control and digest the territory and disciples we've obtained, and talk about it again in half a month.

  He has many ways to deal with him, his immortal skills are fierce and can withstand the sneak attack of our brother's strong crossbow team. When dealing with him, we don't need to use Mo Liqing for now, let's first provoke those turtle-like people from the Heating Help gang to clash with him, teach him a lesson, if he still doesn't behave, then let Mo Liqing take action and cripple him. This way, when something happens to him, the people in the hall will definitely think it was done by the Heating Help gang, and our brother can take advantage of the situation to swallow up the Heating Help gang and expand his own power.

  "At first, the Měng Hǔ Bāng was just a small gang, but now they've become what they are today. Why can't we be like that? Dealing with this little guy, do we really need to take action ourselves? Even if he has some magical skills, they won't work on us."

  The butterfly said:

  "What about Shi Tianlong then? He said he would cover for that little kid."

  Tan Er Lang smiled and said:

  "Anyone can say anything, and it all sounds good. If he was really in charge, he wouldn't be talking like that at the door. Besides, our big brother is Stone Tianzhu's uncle, and Stone Tianzhu won't ignore him. He's been eyeing Stone Tianlong's power for a long time now. Don't worry, as long as nothing happens within the city, Stone Tianlong won't be a problem. Little Rabbit's territory has three village strongholds, doesn't it? As long as he doesn't leave the city, once he's out, it's every man for himself."

  The butterfly fairy praised:

  "Wow, Second Brother, you're really great! By the way, Big Brother's men recently picked three orchids in the mountains and sent them over. You can enjoy them, Second Brother."

  Tan Er Lang shook his head and said:

  "No, this is for Shi Tianyun to deliver. The Lover's Flower is the best, but it's also three parts poison and will greatly harm his vitality. Let our captain enjoy it instead, let him ascend to heaven on a crane sooner."
