“When a wine meets a bosom friend, a thousand cups is too little.

Xu Lao Ying wasn’t very good at expressing gratitude, so he just kept insisting Mi Bai to drink with him.

The scholar drank up every cup without refusal, and finally passed out when the fourth jar of wine was in his belly.

The self-proclaimed wine god’s son was also dazed, unable to distinguish north from south. So, Tang Luo had to find a cart to send Mi Bai and the group of children back to Fengqing Alley first.

The children were very sensible and helped put the unconscious Mi Bai on the bed.

When Tang Luo returned to the cart, Xu Gongzi, who had been dazed, had sobered up, but he seemed a bit stunned and his eyes were blank.

“What, drank yourself silly?” Tang Luo sat next to him and teased lightly. “Brother.”

“Hmm?”

“Help me take care of Old Bai.” Xu Lao Ying, who had sobered up, implored seriously, “if there is a war, please, make sure he is safe in it.”

In his twenty-odd years of life, there were only two people he could call friends -Mi Bai and Wang Chan. The latter was the son of the Wang Clan in Tiannan, so there was no need to worry about him, while the former was just a scholar,’ he truly feared not being able to see him again when he would return to Xiling. Tang Luo naturally knew why Xu Lao Ying had implored him so earnestly. Because the Tang Clan had gained so many resources and methods their strength had greatly increased. In the future, a battle with the Mi Clan was inevitable. Such a large-scale struggle between two powerful clans would undoubtedly cause chaos not only in Xiling but also for the entire stretches of Lingjiang River.

When that time comes, all the rules and peace would disappear and the battlefield that had Xiling as its center would become a dark forest. Old Bai might have a chance to hide if he was alone, but he had dozens of children to take care of. This made him an exposed target. Therefore, Xu Lao Ying must get a promise from Tang Luo.

” I promise you that you will definitely see Old Bai when you come to Xiling next time.” Tang Luo pounded his chest seriously and promised: “He’s a friend of mine as well.”

He was not alone now. Gong Zheng was a mastermind in the field. After receiving the “Haoran Righteous Qi method,” he managed to recruit thousands o disciples in a few short months, becoming the biggest force in the West City of Xiling besides the gentry. And Fengqing Alley was within the area controlled by the Righteous Gang. It was not difficult to protect Mi Bai.

Having secured Tang Luo’s promise, Xu Lao Ying said insouciantly: “Then I can rest assured.”

With no worries holding him back, the travelling of Xu family would continue its journey.

“Huh.” Tang Luo no longer refuted Xu Lao Ying’s fanciful talk casually asked- ‘Where are you heading next?”

“Dragon Valley, Beast Taming Sect!”

There is a mountain valley in the east of Longzhou by the sea. It was legendary that it was a dwelling place for the Dragon Clan, but in reality, this Dragon Valley was where the gate of the Beast Taming Sect was located. The once- dominant Dragon Clan were now the banned beasts of the Beast Taming Sect All the dragon beasts with divine dragon bloodlines seen in the markets were derived from the Beast Taming Sect.

“Finally, you’re going to some proper place to pay tribute.” Tang Luo exclaimed like this, saying that a son of a saint should visit such first-class sects and challenge them, instead of bullying ordinary people in Xiling every day.

“Eh- Ah! It’s wrong for you to say that.” Xu Lao Ying said seriously: “My staging of challenges in Xiling is to inspire the martial spirit in the warriors here. Had it not been for the invite from the Beast Taming Sect beforehand, I had intended to go to Clear Water County.”

All the top powers in the world traced their origins back to the descendants of the saints m ancient times. Because there was once friendship among them for resisting the beasts, their relationships accumulated over generations. The so- called tribute visits were actually exchanges among elite disciples within the sects to verify their learnings. Therefore, since the Beast Taming Sect had sent an invitation to Xiling, Xu Lao Ying had to postpone his plan to promote the martial arts in Longzhou.

“Then I wish my cousin good luck!” Tang Luo didn’t agree or disagree with Xu Lao Ying’s statement, he just lightly laughed and saluted.

“Hahahaha!” Xu Lao Ying laughed heartily: “Wait and see, I will dominate this generation!”

The curtain of the carriage was lifted, and the sword energy enveloped around the son of the saint. Like a beam of white light piercing the dark sky.

He was slow when he arrived, but decisive when he left. This cousin of mine, he is quite rash. Tang Luo shook his head, jumped off the cart, and said to the ’ stunned coachman: “No need for the carriage anymore. You can go back.” The coachman, who was still in shock from what he had just witnessed, looked at the young man who was rising high into the sky, and naturally understood that both of the young masters inside the carriage were powerful cultivators. Even though Tang Luo looked young in face, he dared not disobey him and promptly drove away.

The Fengqing Alley at night was quiet and deep. Though it was a place where people lived, it didn’t seem to have any human presence. Every household was closed tightly without even a glimmer of light leaking through. The high walls blocked the moonlight, making the alley in the West City seem as though covered by a thick darkness. Even the chirping of summer insects was not heard, making it eerily scary.

Tang Luo walked leisurely with his hands behind his back in Fengqing Alley.

The darkness seemed to have no effect on him.

It was not that he had decided to go for a stroll on his way home, he had just previously arranged to meet with Gong Zheng in Fengqing Alley that night thus letting the coachman go.

When Tang Luo walked out of the alley across Mi Bai’s house, Gong Zheng was waiting for him at the corner, his hands crossed in front of him giving an earnest salute. Upon seeing that it was Tang Luo, he hurriedly greeted: “Small one greets young master.”

Some people are born to be leaders. Wherever they are, everyone else would subconsciously follow their opinion, and they are always surrounded by group of followers.

Tang Luo categorized this as a talent and viewed Gong Zheng as the gang boss with full gangster talent.

In just a few months, the Righteous Business Group had already grown to a considerable size. Who knew where he had recruited so many people from? It is said that the Righteous Gang now had hundreds of Mortal Realm warriors After abandoning their past harmful businesses, the whole gang dedicated themselves earnestly, giving a sense of righteousness.

Impressed by this efficiency, Tang Luo could not help but praise: “Dismiss the formalities. You’ve done well in these days.”

“Master, you are too kind. I have just been following your brilliant strategy. I dare not take credit,” Gong Zheng demurred.

Heh.” Tang Luo shook his head helplessly and asked: “Did you call me out just to say this?”

“No, master.” Gong Zheng lifted his head hurriedly and said: “The Righteous

Gang.. No, the Righteous Business Group is in trouble.” NôvelDrama.Org owns © this.

“Hmm?” Tang Luo frowned. The rise of the Righteous Gang to such scale in a few months owed largely to the existence of the Righteous Business Group. After Tang Luo pointed out the business opportunities brought about by the Five Mu Land Order, Gong Zheng led some loyal followers from the Righteous Gang and organized a huge trade caravan with hundreds of animal carts.

They even set up twenty to thirty stores throughout Xiling, all selling vegetable seedlings and farming tools. The Five Mu Land Order had been implemented for nearly half a year. With a first-mover advantage, the Righteous Business Group successfully established itself in Xiling and became the largest agricultural supplier in Xiling.
