Chapter 117: A Martial Arts Legend Wants to be a Lackey
Translator: Nyoi-Bo Studio Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio
The shocking news had left Yang Chengsi unable to sleep for most of the night!
A master from the Agency of Special Affairs had uprooted the entire Soul-snatcher Sect in Xinan!
This news had shocked the Huaxia world of Cultivators and clearly expressed the firm stance the Agency of Special Affairs was taking.
Everyone was stunned at the sudden appearance of this Mister Lu, who was the second Divine level master in the Agency of Special Affairs, aside from the Big Boss whom everyone knew about.
He alone was able to suppress an entire region.
Anyone who could receive this information and the respected members of the world of Cultivators were all astounded.
The masters of the world of Cultivators took the news with varying degrees of shock, depending on which area they were based in.
The ones who had the largest shock were naturally those in the Xinan region, followed closely by the shock felt by the heroes in the Min Province region.
The Cultivators in other places might not know who this Mister Lu was, but those in the Min Province were fully aware.
It was not long ago that they cooperated with Lu Xuan to take down masters from America and Japan. If not for Lu Xuan’s help, their group might have been utterly destroyed.
At that time, Lu Xuan had already shaken them to their core, as he practically took down the group of American and Japanese masters all by himself.
And now, only a month later, Lu Xuan was already strong enough to uproot the entire Soul-snatcher Sect in a single night. Or, perhaps it should be said that he was that strong from the start, and the fighting ability he showed on that night back then was just the tip of the iceberg.
In fact, they had just heard that the Soul-snatcher Sect was on a campaign to conquer the Min Province, and were still quaking in their boots.
If Lu Xuan had not stopped the Soul-snatcher Sect, the world of Cultivators in Min Province, with the exception of the Agency of Special Affairs, would probably have been easily swept aside.
As one of the influential heads in the Min Province world of Cultivators, Yang Chengsi would naturally be embroiled in their conquest. He would have to face death or be forced to submit to their power.
However, this news was quickly followed by updates about Lu Xuan attacking Dian Province, and uprooting the Soul-snatcher Sect, destroying them and leaving no survivors.
At that moment, all in the Min Province were rocked with extreme emotion.
Yang Chengsi was especially glad at this point, thankful that he did not choose to oppose Lu Xuan. Otherwise, the one getting uprooted right now would be none other than himself.
Compared to the Soul-snatcher Sect, which dominated the Dian Province and laid claim to the top, though he was called the Master of the Min Province Coalition of the Woods, he was really just a small fry.
Before this, it could be said that there were arguments about who the top dog in the Min Province was, whether it was the Agency of Special Affairs’ Ming Yueyao, or Lu Xuan, or even Master Bushuo from Southern Shaolin.
Now all of these arguments had been completely put to rest.
There was nothing to fight about because the number one spot in the Min Province belonged to no one other than Lu Xuan!
This was not based on a popularity vote, but by definite strength, and he qualified for the position through his overt bloodshed.
Still, he did not expect to bump into Lu Xuan here of all places, and he was filled with sudden glee. He had to seize the chance to get in the good books of such a strong individual.
“Son, is this your friend?” Just then, Lu Tianxiang and Liu Wanrong, who were looking at models and other information about the houses, came over.
Seeing Yang Chengsi, they asked straight away.
“Dad, Mom, this is the chairman in charge of this property—Yang Chengsi, or Chairman Yang!” Lu Xuan handled the introductions. “Chairman Yang, these are my parents!”
“Nice to meet you, Chairman Yang!” Lu Tianxiang stepped forward to offer a handshake.
“No need to be so formal, you two. You can just call me Xiao Yang!” Yang Chengsi said with an ingratiating expression.
Observing this exchange from a distance, Lu Shanshan felt like laughing. However, she dared not make a sound, as she knew they were discussing serious business.
“Dad, Mom, Chairman Yang was just telling me that he wanted to give us the stand-alone villa in the center of the lake in this villa estate as a present!” Lu Xuan explained.
“This… It’s way too expensive!”
Lu Tianxiang immediately recalled the property information he just read. This particular villa in the development was priced at over a hundred million, and the cost would be a daunting sum for a large majority of the rich and wealthy.
“No, no, it’s not expensive at all. That price is for selling to outsiders; the internal price is much cheaper!” Yang Chengsi hurriedly elaborated.
He knew that sometimes it was more effective to curry favor with a person’s parents than with the person themselves.
“Since Chairman Yang has made this generous offer, let’s accept it!” Liu Wanrong stepped forward and declared.
She could tell that this Yang Chengsi was not giving it to them out of goodwill, but was clearly trying to get in Lu Xuan’s good books.
She had seen her fair share of situations like this and naturally knew how to handle it.
From what she saw of Lu Xuan’s expression, he was not particularly against it, so she decided to accept the offer on Lu Xuan’s behalf.
Yang Chengsi was overjoyed at this result. If Lu Xuan rejected his offer at this time, it would have brought him much distress, but now that Liu Wanrong had represented Lu Xuan in accepting his gift, it also meant that the incident of Yang Chengsi offending Lu Xuan had been completely forgiven.
Very quickly, Yang Chengsi immediately got someone to take Lu Tianxiang and Liu Wanrong to sign a contract.
Only he stayed behind personally, looking at Lu Xuan and saying, “Mister Lu!”
“What, you still have something on your mind?” Lu Xuan asked.
“I wouldn’t dare to hide anything from Mister Lu, so I’ll just bring it out in the open. I would like to come under Mister Lu’s wing, and become a lackey under Mister Lu, serving all Mister Lu’s needs. As long as Mister Lu commands it, no task is too great, and I will carry it out without question!” Yang Chengsi said with an earnest expression. Although the term “lackey” did not sound respectable, he was someone who had clawed his way to the top from the lowest levels. He had seen all kinds of ugly scenarios, and calling himself a “lackey” did not bother him.
With Lu Xuan’s current strength and reputation, many people would not even have a chance to serve him as a lackey.
Or more accurately, there were probably many people who were trying to find Lu Xuan with various methods, to serve him as a lackey, but they just did not know who Lu Xuan was.
“A dignified martial arts legend wants to be a lackey under me? Tell me, what’s the real reason for this?” Lu Xuan reclined on the sofa as he looked at Yang Chengsi.
He did not believe that he was releasing such an aura of supremacy that it could shake up Yang Chengsi enough to make him cry out, wanting to become his lackey.
Even Zhang Hongyang had only submitted to him after getting beaten and being placed in a life and death situation.
These people were all prominent leaders in their own right. Why would they surrender themselves for no reason?
He was not the main character in a novel, so where would he get such an overbearing aura.
Yang Chengsi smiled sheepishly, and admitted, “Nothing gets past you, Mister Lu. The truth is that I’ve recently run into a spot of trouble!”
Following this, Yang Chengsi began introducing his situation to Lu Xuan. As the Master of the Min Province Coalition of the Woods, he was involved in dealings in both the public eye and the underworld. Of course, this real estate company was not his only business, and he had leveraged his identity to reap much bigger benefits.
However, all this was built on the fact that his strength was enough to place him among the handful of people in the top tier of Min Province.
Now that the changes in the world were becoming more pronounced, many people experienced a surge in their power. This included the Agency of Special Affairs’ Ming Yueyao, the Southern Shaolin’s Master Bushuo, and more.
Just based on the number of martial arts legends he knew about, the total number of them had increased by an additional digit. The overall strength of the world of Cultivators in Min Province was increasing, and he was being left behind by the wayside.
As he had not made any further improvements, as a martial arts legend, he was no longer able to exert any influence on the major events in Min Province.
Presently, he was like a defenseless child walking on the streets with a brick of gold, while everyone looked at him with covetous eyes.
Though things still looked calm on the surface, in truth, danger was lurking everywhere.
