The Fourth Lingshi Financial Crisis

Chapter 26 Butler Zhou

Steward Zhou looked at the high-spirited Yang Lu, but didn't say anything more.In the world of cultivation in Kyushu, mortals are just mortals no matter how capable they are, and it is impossible to pose a threat to cultivators.

However, all cultivators who formally step into the immortal gate are protected by strong energy all over their bodies. Even if they stand there and let mortals beat them, mortals can't hurt the cultivator at all. Although Li Qingning has not practiced for a long time, he is by no means a mere mortal. what can be murdered.

Although he didn't know who Yang Lu was from, he was sure that Yang Lu could never be an assassin, because there is no reason for ordinary people to assassinate cultivators in this world!

As for whether Yang Lu is here to help the Qingning Chamber of Commerce develop or to bring down the Qingning Chamber of Commerce, Steward Zhou doesn't really care.

If he can help the Qingning Chamber of Commerce to prosper, the eldest lady will be very happy; if he destroys the Qingning Chamber of Commerce, it will also make the eldest lady give up on the path of "cultivating merit" as soon as possible, which may not be a bad thing .

What he was most worried about was that Yang Lu would carry the banner of Li Qingning and ruin the reputation of Miss Li's family everywhere.

Now that Yang Lu had made a promise, he would be the steward of Zhou. If Yang Lu dared to go back on his word, it would not be too late for him to kill him. Even Li Qingning would not blame him for it.

After making up his mind, Steward Zhou concentrated on guarding Yang Lu.

Being able to become the servant of Li Qingyang and Li Qingning, Steward Zhou is obviously not an ordinary cultivator.

In the realm of comprehension, there is an extremely fierce place called [Outer Territory Battlefield], which is the intersection of the legendary demon world and the realm of comprehension. Killing people in the extraterritorial battlefield will not only lose merit, but will increase merit. The ultimate shortcut to change your fate against the sky.

But because of the extremely high death rate in the battlefield outside the territory, almost all the practitioners were dismayed by the news.

When he was young, Steward Zhou took the initiative to enter the battlefield outside the territory three times, and successfully retreated with his body. He has extremely rich practical experience.

But it is a pity that Zhou Steward failed to change his fate through the extraterritorial battlefield because of his poor spiritual root aptitude.

After realizing that he had no hope of breaking through in this life, he accepted Li Qingyang's solicitation and became the chief steward of Li Qingyang's family. While taking care of the family's daily chores, he also assumed the responsibility of bodyguard, and he did it for decades.

After Li Qingyang took over as the president of Lingshi Reserve Bank, his security work was completely taken over by the Wuliang Sword Sect.Steward Zhou was in charge of Li Qingning's daily security work.

As a senior expert in the field of guarding, Steward Zhou seemed to be following Yang Lu calmly, but he had secretly activated a variety of different reconnaissance techniques.Don't talk about ordinary people, the vast majority of cultivators can't hide from his piercing eyes!
With the guidance of the fairy technique, Steward Zhou soon noticed that there seemed to be two roe-headed rat-eyed guys following him in the distance, and he could even hear the conversation between these two thieves clearly from tens of meters away.

"Boss, I did see just now that the girl newsboy named Murong followed this man into the Qingning Chamber of Commerce."

"But why only this businessman came out, and where did that girl newsboy go?"

"Uh... it should be in the Qingning Chamber of Commerce."

"Fart! What is Qingning Chamber of Commerce keeping a newsboy for? Are you going to invite that newsboy to dinner?"

"But I could see clearly that the two of them walked in, but the newsboy disappeared, and an old man came out instead."

"The Qingning Chamber of Commerce is just such a gate, can the newsboy still fly?"

"Why don't we teach this businessman a lesson for Mr. Zhu!"

"What are you thinking? Haiya City puts the most emphasis on commerce and trade, and beating foreign merchants in broad daylight. Isn't this adding trouble to City Lord Jiang? Mr. Zhu specially ordered that this time he is going to teach the girl newsboy a lesson. I think he has a high probability of being Look at that little girl!"

"Hiss... I didn't see it! Mr. Zhu is usually gentle and gentle, but he wants to use force on this kind of half-grown girl?"

"As the saying goes, a wife is worse than a concubine, a concubine is worse than stealing, and stealing is worse than not being able to steal. I think Mr. Zhu gritted his teeth when he mentioned this girl newsboy. I'm afraid he was humiliated instead of being strong."

"Then we will teach her to be honest first, and then send her to Mr. Zhu!"

"You know what! These rich kids like to conquer those chaste women. We just need to knock her out with a sap, and then send her to the Zhu Family Chamber of Commerce. Please, Mr. Zhu, do it yourself and train her slowly."

"The boss is still wise!"

"Useless stuff! Now that everyone is lost, is it still useful for you to flatter me?"

Hearing this, Butler Zhou no longer intends to continue listening.

He didn't understand why Li Qingning angrily denounced Young Master Zhu as a "shameless person" after seeing Yang Lu.Hearing the conversation between these two street hooligans now, he felt that the "shameless guy" was flattering Mr. Zhu a bit.

Not only does this beast not spare fifteen or sixteen-year-old girl newsboys, it even likes to play heavy games like abuse and abuse. This is simply a fighter among scumbags!

Steward Zhou had a good impression of Murong, but at this moment he heard two street hooligans speak ill of Murong, and he had already put the debt on Zhu Ziming's head.While following Yang Lu step by step, he secretly pinched an immortal formula with his left hand.

As a faint red light flashed past, immediately after, two shrill screams sounded from behind Yang Lu.

"It hurts, my leg seems to be broken!"

"Who! Who is attacking me?"

Hearing the strange movement, Yang Lu quickly turned his head to look, only to see two men in green clothes roll to the ground without any image, howling incessantly.This made him frown: "Butler Zhou, what happened just now?"

Butler Zhou chuckled: "It seems that two passers-by accidentally tripped over and broke their legs. It's not a big deal!"

Why did two well-behaved people suddenly fall together and break their bones?

Although Yang Lu was a little puzzled, he was not a nosy person. Since Steward Zhou said nothing happened, he just pretended nothing happened. Anyway, even if the sky falls, Steward Zhou, a cultivator, will support him. He feels safe now!
After Yang Lu turned around as if nothing had happened, Butler Zhou sighed lightly, with a somewhat complicated expression on his face.

For a cultivator to attack mortals maliciously, it is definitely a detrimental act. The reason why he blatantly attacked these two hooligans was definitely not because of his deep feelings for Murong.

The real reason is simple:
His lifespan is running out!
Heavenly Dao Merit can speed up the progress of cultivators without any side effects, and can be called the most precious cultivation resource in the realm of comprehension. However, for old monks like Steward Zhou who have no hope of breaking through, the marginal utility of merit is infinitely close to zero.

As long as he doesn't kill a lot, causing too much loss of merit and falling into the devil's way, there will be no substantial consequences at all if he teaches a mortal.

It was precisely because he was near the end of his lifespan that he had less scruples when making a move, so he was personally selected by Li Qingyang to become Li Qingning's personal butler.

Although this kind of feeling of shooting anyone who is unhappy is very cool, but for a cultivator who pursues the way of longevity, it is an out-and-out tragedy to be reduced to this point: after seeing the wider world, Who wants to fight against ants?

Now he only hopes that Li Qingning, who he brought up since he was a child, can go further than himself on the road of longevity.
