I Killed Gods and Demons in Song Dynasty

Chapter 31: Shande Hall Master
After finishing these things, Li Qingyun felt that it was still too early to go to Kaifeng Prefecture to find Lu Zhen for a physical examination and to confirm the spirit seed, so he thought about the three goals he had set last night and prepared to go to the Gathering Hall in the Hero Building first to learn about the gang's affairs.

His predecessor was a lazy fellow who knew nothing about the daily operations of the Changle Gang, so he didn't have many memories left for reference.

In order to revive the gang, Li Qingyun can only do it himself and rely on his own down-to-earth learning and practice, hoping to reorganize the workplace with the perspective of a time traveler.

After passing through the four courtyards and arriving at the outermost Juyi Hall, he first saw Song Ke.

Brother, you really love the Changle Gang. You are so diligent and come here early... Li Qingyun muttered in his heart and nodded to him calmly.

Song Ke's gaze towards Li Qingyun was obviously much kinder, and his attitude also showed the respect between superiors and subordinates. He clasped his fists and said:
"Good morning, boss."

Li Qingyun took out two secret books of the Changle Gang and the [Heavenly Thunder Body Forging Technique] from his arms and handed them over:

"That's perfect. I'm giving this back to you. Keep it."

Song Ke was stunned, the muscles on his face twitched slightly, and he felt a little embarrassed:

"Boss, I...I didn't mean that."

He was afraid that his gang leader would sell the secret book for money yesterday, so he specifically reminded him. Unexpectedly, the other party actually took it to heart and returned it today.

Li Qingyun smiled and said:
"I know. You can take it. I've practiced... um... I'm familiar with it."

He wanted to say that he had mastered it, but he thought that was a bit too shocking, so he quickly changed his words.

Song Ke took the secret book, thought for a moment and said:

"The light skills in this book 'Spirit Snake Steps' involve the sixty-four hexagrams, which is very complicated. In addition, 'Heavenly Thunder Body Tempering Technique' is profound and contains many unclear points. I have studied both of them for a long time. If the gang leader has any questions about cultivation, please feel free to speak up. I will not hold back."

In his mind, no matter how talented his gang leader was in martial arts, it was impossible for him to understand so many martial arts overnight, let alone practice them.

Although I may not be smarter than the other party, I am a pioneer after all. I have spent several more years researching and thinking, so I can provide some useful experience at least. That's why I specifically gave him a reminder.

His sense of belonging to the Changle Gang was genuine, so he was not prepared to hide it.

Oh, I really want to show off my skills a little bit. If Song Ke knew that I had mastered all the martial arts overnight, I wonder what his expression would be. I'm really looking forward to it! Tsk tsk, it's a pity that I can't do that. That would attract too much attention. Li Qingyun, you should keep a low profile and be cautious... Li Qingyun suppressed the urge to show off in front of others, nodded casually, and said "hmm".

Song Ke noticed that the gang leader had a strange expression on his face and thought he had said something wrong. He was hesitating whether he should explain it when suddenly a fragrant breeze blew and a slim figure walked in, her dress fluttering.

It was Chu Jinxiang, the head of Shan De Tang.

This powerful figure who is in charge of the Changle Gang's external contacts and legitimate business is only in his thirties and is well maintained. He looks like a girl in her early twenties. In addition, he is beautiful and loves to dress up. He is often referred to as the flower of the Changle Gang.

When she saw Li Qingyun and Song Ke, she smiled sweetly and bowed to them in a charming manner:

"Good morning, Gang Leader, Good morning, Hall Leader Song. I heard that you two showed your might yesterday. Not only did you kill Situ Haiguang from the Golden Wind and Drizzle Tower, you also forced them to pay us a hundred taels of silver. It really made us feel better!"

Oh, so the old man with long eyebrows is called Situ Haiguang. Do these things spread so quickly? Oh, that's right, Changle Casino is run by Shande Hall... Li Qingyun thought Chu Jinxiang was very good at talking, so he smiled at her as a greeting, and then subconsciously glanced at Song Ke. Master Song felt that he understood what she meant, and immediately said:

"This was all done by the gang leader alone. I didn't help at all."

Wow, you even answered the questions quickly... Li Qingyun originally wanted Song Ke to be more low-key, modest, and not speak so ostentatiously, but who knew that he would misunderstand and take all the credit on himself.

Although this is the truth, it always feels a bit weird, as if I forced him to say it.

Chu Jinxiang was very versatile and good at observing people's words and expressions. She immediately noticed all the subtle movements between the two people and couldn't help but be surprised.

Song Ke follows Li Qingyun's lead. Is this the sun rising from the west?
In the past, this young and energetic Luohan Hall Master looked down upon his own leader the most, and his words were full of deep disgust and contempt. But today he was as obedient as a docile kitten. What on earth had happened?
The fat shopkeeper Sun of Changle Casino is Chu Jinxiang's confidant. She got the news immediately after the incident. But it was obvious that Li Qingyun, the recognized glutton of the Changle Gang, could not kill the famous long-browed old man.

Therefore, when restoring the truth of the incident, Chu Jinxiang automatically ignored Fatty Sun's description, thinking that he was only considering the gang leader's face and credited Song Ke's achievement to Li Qingyun.

But Song Ke said the same thing today, forcing her to re-evaluate her judgment.

Could it be that Boss Li has something on Song Ke?
By the way, he had always coveted Song Ke's sister. Could it be that the matter had been settled so quickly? So the two of them were now in a brother-in-law and brother-in-law relationship, and therefore they were of the same blood and breathed the same air?
Impossible! With Song Ke's personality, if this really happened, he would skin Li Qingyun alive!
Could it be that Song Ke had made some mistake and Li Qingyun had obtained the evidence?

So was he greedy for money, or did he hire the wrong person?
I have to ask around when I get back. If such a thing really happens, I have to take advantage of it. Song Ke is always disrespectful. It's time to teach him a lesson.

Chu Jinxiang's imagination was running wild, but she was getting further and further away from the truth...

Seeing her silent, Li Qingyun coughed softly to break the awkwardness:
"It's just a small matter, there's nothing much to say. Master Chu came so early, is there something wrong?"

Chu Jinxiang came back to her senses after hearing this. She blinked her big eyes and said with a smile:

"What a coincidence, I'm here to talk to you two about three things.

"First, Chen Jin, the head of Jinfengxiyu Pavilion, sent someone to pass on a message, asking you to go to Zuiyang Pavilion for a banquet tomorrow night. He said he wanted to apologize in person. I wonder if you mean that..."

Before Li Qingyun could speak, Song Ke frowned and said:

"Boss, you can't go! There's no good wine, and there's no good meeting. Zuiyanglou is their territory, and the banquet they're going to set up must be a Hongmen Banquet. It's too dangerous."

Chu Jinxiang nodded and agreed:

"What Hall Master Song said makes sense. I'll tell them that I appreciate their kindness, but the gang leader has something else to do so I won't go."

Hey, hey, you guys have already made the decision before I even said a word. Do you really treat the gang leader as nothing?
With Li Qingyun's cautious character, he would have thought carefully about this matter, but seeing these two people make a decision in front of him, he was inexplicably angry, so he cleared his throat:

"Wait, who said I won't go? I heard that the beggar's chicken and daughter's red wine in Zuiyanglou are both famous dishes in Bianliang City. I haven't eaten them yet, so of course I have to try them..."
