A thousand enlightenments in one night, starting from being a menial apprentice.

Chapter 226: Spread

Ruan Fengshan entered the backyard of Yuanshun Escort Agency from a side door at the entrance of the alley, and then walked along a stone path towards the courtyard where he lived.

He frowned and listened to the birdsong. He walked around a grove of bamboos and suddenly saw Xiao Yu walking back and forth anxiously at the entrance of his courtyard...

Ruan Fengshan's eyes moved, and he slowly walked towards Xiao Yu...

In the backyard account office, Xu Shouxian stood at the entrance of the hall, also anxious...

Xu Shouxian was just thinking about it when he saw Wang De'an and Luan Bao walking in quickly.

When Wang De'an saw Xu Shouxian, he said, "Mr. Luan, the chief commander, is not here, so I brought Deputy Commander Luan with me."

After Luan Bao achieved the third level of inner breath, he was promoted from the captain of the Yuanshun Escort Agency to the deputy commander. His salary was higher than that of the escorts of the same level, and he did not have to go out to escort, which meant he did not have to suffer the hardship of traveling in the open air. It could be said that his life was quite comfortable.

Xu Shouxian looked at Luan Bao and said, "Deputy Commander Luan, someone is blocking the door of the document library and not letting us in or out! This is disrupting the normal operation of my account office."

Xu Shouxian directly addressed Luan Bao by his position because he hoped that he would exercise his authority and responsibilities.

"Who is so bold? Where is the document library?" Luan Bao asked.

Luan Bao was a little infuriated when he saw that Xu Shouxian, who always looked down on others, was actually quite respectful to him.

Xu Shouxian pointed to the west corridor and Luan Bao strode in.

Luan Bao stepped into the corridor and immediately saw Duan Rong sitting there with his legs crossed, holding a lantern.

When Luan Bao saw that it was Duan Rong, his eyes jumped slightly. Although he had an old account with Duan Rong, he also knew that Duan Rong came to the backyard account office to check the accounts and was personally appointed by the shopkeeper.

Luan Bao felt something was amiss, so he did not attack Duan Rong directly. Instead, he turned his head to look at Xu Shouxian behind him and asked, "Didn't the shopkeeper ask him to check the accounts?"

Xu Shouxian thought about it and said, "The audit period is five days, and it was completed yesterday."

Luan Bao blinked and counted the days in his mind. The days of checking the accounts were indeed over.

Xu Shouxian continued, "Even when we are checking the accounts, you can't stop our accountants from entering and leaving the document library just because we are checking the accounts!"

"The document library is an important place for storing account books. All kinds of information are collected in it. A lot of our daily accounting work requires the use of information in the document library."

"Duan Rong is, after all, just an escort. How dare he be here, locking up the warehouse and blocking the door!"

"Who gave him the power?" Xu Shouxian said angrily, spitting all over Luan Bao's face.

Luan Bao wiped the spit from his face. He felt that what Xu Shouxian said made sense.

Luan Bao looked at Duan Rong who was sitting at the door of the document library and shouted, "Duan Rong, did you hear what Chief Accountant Xu said? Why don't you get out of the way?"

When Duan Rong saw Luan Bao appear, his heart began to beat fast. He wondered if Xiao Yu had encountered any problems, why hadn't he invited the shopkeeper over yet?

When Luan Bao questioned Duan Rong loudly, Duan Rong was lost in his own thoughts and seemed not to hear what Luan Bao said.

Seeing that Duan Rong ignored his words, Luan Bao immediately became furious. He took a step forward and shouted, "Duan Rong, I'm asking you a question."

Duan Rong then raised his head and looked at Luan Bao with an impatient look.

Luan Bao was the son of Luan Jingfu, and he had a good family background. He also had a top-notch talent in martial arts. People he interacted with all thought highly of him. Because of this, Duan Rong's look at him as if he was looking at a fool made Luan Bao feel hurt.

Duan Rong said: "What does the accountant's business have to do with you?"

Luan Bao said: "I am the deputy commander of the guards, and today is my duty day. You are a warrior, and you are acting arrogantly in front of these accountants who have never practiced martial arts and disrupting the normal operation of the accountant's office. This is exactly what I should be responsible for!"

Luan Bao thought he had said something good, and felt a little proud. He glanced at Xu Shouxian beside him. Seeing Xu Shouxian looking at him with admiration, he felt very pleased.

Duan Rong sighed. He really didn't feel like arguing with Luan Bao. He was also a little anxious at this moment. If the shopkeeper didn't come, he might ruin the show.

Luan Bao saw that Duan Rong remained silent, but he obviously had no intention of giving way.

Luan Bao frowned. He didn't want to fight with Duan Rong.

He knew that Duan Rong had also achieved the minor success level of the third layer of the Inner Breath Realm, and that last time in the Gathering Hall, his realm was far superior to Duan Rong's, but at least in terms of moves, Duan Rong relied on his improvisations and did not let him get the upper hand.

To this day, if they fight again, he feels that he has no guarantee of winning against Duan Rong.

Luan Bao looked past Duan Rong and at the door of the document library behind him, which was locked.

Luan Bao's eyes jumped, he raised his finger and pointed at the lock, looked at Xu Shouxian, and said, "Where is the key to the door lock?"

Xu Shouxian immediately took out a bunch of keys from his waist, picked out the key to the document library, and handed it to Luan Bao.

Luan Bao took the key and glanced at Duan Rong tentatively. Then he walked slowly to the side of the document library door. With another step sideways, he could touch the door lock on the document library.

Luan Bao thought that if Duan Rong didn't stop him, he would be able to open the door of the document library. In this way, the people from the accounting office could enter from the side, and it would be meaningless for Duan Rong to block the door.

But just as Luan Bao walked to the side of the document library door with the key in his hand, Duan Rong suddenly stood up from his chair and took a step forward, blocking Luan Bao's way.

The two of them looked at each other immediately.

Luan Bao saw that Duan Rong had stopped talking after his speech, and he thought that Duan Rong had realized his rashness. He wanted to open the door of the document library, and if Duan Rong didn't stop him, then forget it.

He did this, and he was thinking hard. After all, Duan Rong was the person appointed by the shopkeeper to check the accounts. Even if there was any unpleasantness with the accountant, he should not interfere with the normal operation of the accountant. By doing this, he gave Duan Rong a way out.

Luan Jingfu had often taught him in the past two years that when encountering conflicts within the escort agency, he should use force as little as possible and use his brain to resolve them.

Luan Bao felt that he had done a good job today, so when Duan Rong suddenly stood up and blocked him, he was surprised.

Duan Rong's face was cold. He reached out and snatched the key from Luan Bao's hand.

Luan Bao was immediately furious. He had tried his best to avoid conflict with Duan Rong, but Duan Rong did not appreciate it at all and snatched away his keys.

Luan Bao was filled with shame and anger, and instantly he gathered his strength and punched Duan Rong in the chest.

Luan Bao didn't see clearly how Duan Rong moved, he just saw him slightly turn his body to avoid his fist, and then he flew backwards!
Luan Bao was in mid-air, shocked because he found that most of his internal energy had dissipated!
However, although the internal energy that Duan Rong injected into his body was powerful, it also completely dissipated after it broke his internal energy. Only the aftermath of the collision between the two people's internal energy shook his internal organs!

Luan Bao lost his balance, his internal organs were shaken, and he vomited his breakfast while still in mid-air!
Suddenly, the vomited filthy stuff was scattered all over the place as he flew backwards!
Luan Bao flew backwards to the entrance of the corridor and suddenly felt a big hand pressing on his back. Then he landed steadily on the ground. Luan Bao turned his head in surprise and saw the gloomy face of Ruan Fengshan who stood up.
