"Officer Xu, it's really not easy to see you."

A man dressed in a dark long robe with a refined appearance walked in; he looked like a scholar.

But Xu Shimo sensed a powerful aura emanating from him.

And Manager Chang behind him.

This is Lu Yi, the renowned head of the Lu family in Chihe County.

Xu Shimo had also made a special effort to learn about him, and only after learning about him did she realize how terrifying the Lu family was.

Not to mention that many businesses in the city belong to the Lu family, making them true Brahmins.

His wife is the eldest daughter of the owner of the Spirit Ape Martial Arts School, the senior sister that Lin Jing mentioned earlier.

His son, who entered the Daoist path at the age of eighteen, is an exceptional genius and is currently studying at the Daoist academy in Cloud City.

As for himself... Xu Shimo guessed that he was probably also a martial artist who had entered the Dao.

Holding the note in his hand, his mind was racing.

Or should we let them fight like dogs?

Thinking about it, Lu Yi walked forward on his own and sat down in the armchair.

"This chair..." Xu Shimo hurriedly asked.

These past few days he's been practicing his martial arts in this courtyard every day. Once, he was caught off guard by a gust of wind from a sword and a flurry of palm strikes. The chair had long since become loose and unusable.

It's just that there wasn't time to deal with it.

But as soon as he finished speaking, Lu Yi was already sitting firmly in his seat, and the chair didn't even wobble.

This surprised Xu Shimo, who couldn't help but want to see what was going on.

Lu Yi remained calm and said:

"I've heard that Officer Xu's Black Wind Palm technique is incredibly skilled."

As expected… Xu Shimo thought to himself, then cupped his hands and said, “I dare not accept such praise.”

Lu Yi's voice continued, making Xu Shimo shudder.

"In about ten days, Xu Cha Tou has mastered the Black Wind Palm to this level. He is truly a genius, one in a hundred."

cream of the crop?

Who are you insulting...? Wait, ten days?

How did Lu Yi find out?

Lu Yi: "If I remember correctly, Chief Xu survived the great calamity in the northwest. He first encountered the sixth leader of Juyi Village, who died unexpectedly, in Zhangjia Village. If I'm not mistaken, the Black Wind Palm technique was also obtained from that accident, right?"

After he finished speaking, his gaze fell directly on Xu Shimo.

It seemed as if they could see right through him.

Xu Shimo panicked for a moment, then quietly activated his stance training, twisting his body into a rope, ready to draw his sword at any moment.

But I relaxed a little soon after.

He was no longer the unarmed Daoist he had just transmigrated into; he was now a cultivator at the third level of Qi and Blood, and it wouldn't be an exaggeration to say that he was the number one cultivator below the Dao level.

Everything is negotiable!

"take it easy."

Lu Yi waved his hand and then stood up.

Xu Shimo noticed that his movements as he stood up were not very natural, and upon closer inspection, he could even observe the force he was exerting throughout his body from the muscles behind him.

Loading... he cursed inwardly.

However, they also recognized the opponent's strength.

To be able to sit so steadily with legs bent shows that the opponent has reached an appalling level of control over their body, and their strength is unfathomable.

Horror!

It should be noted that Lu Yi's posture just now was very natural.

As soon as Lu Yi stood up, the chair creaked under the weight and shook violently, startling Manager Chang behind him.

Manager Chang instinctively reached for the chair, but it immediately fell apart. He stared blankly at Lu Yi:

"Ah Lang, you..."

Lu Yi, with his hands behind his back as if he hadn't seen anything, continued to ask, "Do you know who that sixth leader is?"

"I would appreciate your guidance, Mr. Lu."

Lu Yi sighed and said, "He is the son of my comrade-in-arms. His father died at the hands of the bandits of Juyi Village."

"Comrades?"

Xu Shimo sensed something different, but a comrade-in-arms? Lu Yi was actually a court lackey just like him?

Lu Yi: "To be honest, I am a member of the Embroidered Uniform Guard and an Embroidered Uniform Envoy. As for Ah Xin, he used to be in the Black Wind Gang, but later followed his deputy leader to Juyi Village and provided me with intelligence."

"I don't know how his identity was exposed this time, but he died at the hands of thieves."

Xu Shimo listened quietly, and after a brief silence, asked:

"I wonder what Mr. Lu means?"

Lu Yi took out a token from his person and tossed it over.

Xu Shimo took it; it was a wooden plaque covered with tung oil. The front had the words "Embroidered Guard" on it, and the back had the words "Strongman."

This is different from the Qi and Blood Triple Strength Warrior Realm. The former is a realm description, while the latter is the lowest position in the Embroidered Uniform Guard. Of course, although it is the lowest position, it still has more authority and prestige than my own position as a lowly servant.

However, there is a possibility of encountering dangers from some monsters.

However, there are some similarities. The strongmen of the Embroidered Uniform Guard must be at least strongmen-level warriors to serve, and the system is more selective than unqualified.

So Lu Yi is trying to recruit me?

Xu Shimo held the bronze plaque, casting a questioning glance at him.

Lu Yi, however, ignored this and continued his narration:

"Three days later, the Five Poisons Gang will have a transaction in Red Leaf Town and Juyi Village. The Black Wind Gang, which is lurking nearby, will most likely be there as well. And the third leader of Juyi Village is the vice leader of the Black Wind Gang."

It is highly likely, and in the other party's words, it is almost certainly true.

The Five Poisons Gang and the Black Wind Gang are not only blood enemies, but also mortal enemies. So they came to the Big Brother and used the Big Brother's new boss to take down their enemy.

Xu Shimo felt a bit confused for a moment. He admired Lu Yi's intelligence capabilities, but couldn't help but complain in his heart that he couldn't explain things clearly.

However, the most important point is...

—What do I do?

"Mr. Lu means I should impersonate a member of the Black Wind Gang and infiltrate their ranks?"

Lu Yi smiled and said to Manager Chang, "Officer Xu is truly brilliant, no less so than my son!"

Xu Shimo's face immediately darkened.

Who are they taking advantage of?

I am the greatest in the world! The future.

"Based on some of Wang Chatou's previous speculations, many people in the underworld believe you are a member of the Black Wind Gang," Lu Yi said.

Xu Shimo: "But hasn't Wang Chang already clarified all of this?"

Upon hearing this, Lu Yi and Manager Chang both burst out laughing.

Manager Chang explained:

"Young Master Xu, you've misunderstood. Chief Wang's explanation comes after that night seven days ago. On that night, the Five Poisons Gang's Hall Master Li was found dead in the street, his body mutilated beyond recognition by someone with a single, brutal blow. After that, Chief Wang was completely subservient to you, Young Master Xu."

He emphasized the word "who" very heavily.

As he spoke, he glanced at Xu Shimo.

Xu Shimo remained calm and showed no reaction, but Zhao San behind him stared at him in astonishment.

Xu Shimo was speechless at the sight of this terrible teammate.

What are you pretending for? I'm too lazy to even clean the lime off his face. He was just trying to lure the two members of the Five Poisons Gang to his door, but neither of them showed up.

You're using something that even a fool could figure out to express your respect?
