From slave trader to the Immortal Lord of Ten Thousand Laws

"What did you say?"

"Niu Da is missing?!"

"Where is it?"

Li Nian frowned, his face showing barely concealed displeasure, but he kept looking at his follower with long eyes.

The henchman shuddered and said in a trembling voice:

"I don't know either. I only know that when I went to look for him just now, Niu Da had already disappeared."

Li Nian's lips twitched. He felt something was strange. Niu Da was always honest and simple, and he only knew that he should rest when night fell. He would never be like his second brother, who went to brothels to sleep with women.

So he asked:

"Where are his two brothers now?"

The lackey was drenched in sweat, repeatedly apologizing, "I don't know where it is..."

hiss...

"A thousand-mile dike cannot be breached by an ant."

"Don't ruin my grand plan!"

Li Nian's mind raced, but he maintained a composed demeanor. He waved away the lackey, then bowed respectfully to his advisor and said gently:

"I'm afraid I'll make a fool of myself in front of you, sir. Please wait a moment while I send someone to find you."

But when he calculated the time, it had been more than an incense stick's time, which was already past the time that the young lady had promised him.

Li Nian frowned, caught in a dilemma.

The advisor, with his sharp, narrow eyes, noticed his embarrassment and stroked his beard with a smile:

"That's not urgent."

"Young Master Li, just go and search for that man. Once you've found him, you can send someone to the Money Gang to look for me later."

His words were particularly pleasing to the ear, and seeing that Li Nian accepted them readily, he immediately straightened his sleeves, composed himself, and said with a pleasant expression:

"Then I will not trouble you any longer, Young Master Li."

"Alas! I shall see you off, sir."

As Li Nian spoke, he bowed and gestured for the advisor to follow him. The advisor nodded and walked with him for a short distance.

But once Li Nian left, his followers, who were completely devoted to him, did not dare to linger and had no choice but to follow him out of the courtyard in single file.

"Go and find the three Niu brothers."

Li Nian stood on the steps, giving instructions to his followers.

The followers nodded and moved in unison.

The advisor and Wang Dao mounted their horses, each with a servant beside them loosening the reins. Seeing Li Nian's impressive aura and ability to command such a large following, Wang Dao, already filled with hatred, was immediately intrigued and couldn't help but ask in a deep voice:

"Master, may I ask which young master Li this is?"

"Oh, this one..."

When Wang Dao asked the question, the clerk was about to answer when the horse-leading servant beside him interrupted him.

He raised his head like a proud rooster, a hint of smugness on his face, and boasted:

"Ha! Let these two guests know that my brother Li is a disciple of Chen Kun, the Thunderbolt Hand!"

What?!

Upon hearing this, Wang Dao's expression changed drastically, his eyebrows drooped, and the muscles on his cheeks twitched slightly.

I never expected it to be him...

"Oh!"

Wang Dao's eyes widened, veins bulging on his forehead. Just one sentence ignited a raging fire of resentment in his heart, so much so that he unconsciously squeezed his legs tightly around the horse's belly, startling the horse into a painful neigh, its hooves thrashing about and kicking up a cloud of dust.

The groom, unable to hold the horse, was instead kicked in the chest and sent flying backward like a kite with a broken string.

"Bang--!"

The servant crashed into the wall and immediately stopped breathing.

"Good horse, stop right there!"

The advisor shouted, sweat beading on his face.

He was talking about the horse, but he was referring to a person.

"Hmm..."

Wang Dao's eyes were bloodshot, his hand gripping the reins was like a coiled snake, veins bulging. He glanced at the white-clad man being fawned over in the crowd, then at the worried-looking clerk, and finally let out a muffled groan, his Adam's apple bobbing as if swallowing blood, locking the anger in his throat.

"Master, I know what I'm doing."

Wang Dao's face darkened, and he let out a muffled groan. His sinister gaze, like that of a venomous snake, relentlessly gnawed at Li Nian in the crowd.

He was filled with resentment and finally found an outlet to vent it.

Ha! I've finally caught you.

brute! !

...

"brute?"

Inside the clinic, the third brother, Niu Wenxian, chuckled, staring at his eldest brother's dark head, and said with a cheerful laugh:

"Brother, this doesn't count as being an animal."

As he spoke, he glanced around menacingly and saw a skinny, monkey-like boy straddling a bamboo couch, riding Yunniang and panting as he did so.

Yunniang's face was covered in tears, but she covered her mouth tightly, as if afraid of making a sound and startling the man who had fainted on the ground.

That man was Little Sun.

At this moment, he was bound hand and foot and trampled under Niu Da's feet.

A dagger was held to Yunniang's neck.

The dagger, held by Niu Wenxian, must have been incredibly sharp. Even with only a sliver of moonlight filtering through the paper window, it still gleamed with a cold light, and should not be underestimated.

Suddenly, Niu Er got carried away and pinned Yunniang down completely, grabbing her two soft hands and pulling hard repeatedly.

"Brother, she's just a woman. You can sleep with her and that's it. What's so beastly about it?"

Niu Er was in a good mood, and his tone softened a bit.

Niu Da frowned slightly. He felt something was amiss, but he couldn't spoil his brothers' fun, so he could only say:

"But she is... Little Sun's woman."

"hehe."

Niu Er burst into laughter, brazenly pinching the two mounds of flesh, and shouted:

"But right now she's my mount!"

"Hahaha, what's this called? Third brother." Niu Er turned his head to look at Niu Wenxian.

The young man had bright, long eyes, but now they were filled with a sinister gaze. He simply smiled and said:

"Second brother, this is called 'if Heaven gives you something and you don't take it, you'll only suffer the consequences.'"

Since my family wants to climb the social ladder by marrying into the Li family, we must clearly distinguish ourselves from the likes of Jiang She.

In the past, Jiang She was a rank-one martial artist, and it was understandable that we respected and feared him. Now that he has lost all his power, are we still expected to act according to his whims?

"Ha! Then all our efforts have been in vain."

"Young Master Sun is loyal and wants to fight for the instructor position for Jiang She, but since we've joined Li Nian's side, we'll naturally try to stop us. As for this woman... you have no choice but to speak up!"

Niu Da remained silent.

The boy smiled and said, "Big brother, you just need to take care of the house. Second brother and I will handle everything outside."

Niu Da nodded, feeling that his third brother's words made sense.

He was naturally dull-witted, but his physique was quite sturdy, and he was quick in martial arts. Since he had no other strengths, he was content to manage the household affairs. His second brother was clever and bold, and his third brother had even attended a private school for several years, so his words were naturally reliable.

Niu Da hesitated for a moment, gazing at Yunniang's fair and tender back, which shimmered like mutton-fat jade in the moonlight. He couldn't help but think of that moist, smooth feeling again. So, he gritted his teeth and said fiercely:

"Dry!"

Hehehe!

Niu Er chuckled lewdly, riding Yunniang with a lascivious air, and said, "Now that's what family is all about, let's take a piss first to wake up this little rascal, then it'll be your turn to play with him, big brother."

"it is good."

Niu Da nodded and was about to loosen the belt around his waist.

"Bang--!"

Before he could finish speaking, there was a loud bang behind him, and the door was kicked open and someone rushed into the house.

I turned my head and looked.

But then they saw a face they knew all too well...
