Dog Brother transmigrates into Lin Pingzhi: The Tai Xuan Scripture suppresses all nations

"Greetings, my lord?"

"Who is the lord? What is a lord?"

Shi Potian stared blankly at the ape flying sun and moon on the ground.

Linghu Chong and Tian Boguang were also astonished. What was going on with this Japanese man? Just a moment ago he was all fierce and menacing, acting as if he didn't take the Central Plains martial arts world seriously.

Why did he immediately bow down upon the appearance of the young镖头 (Young Escort Officer)? Was he terrified by the young镖头's martial arts skills?

Having lived two lives, Shi Potian had never heard of the title "Lord" before. He found the Japanese man's address puzzling and turned to ask the small dark room:

"Feifei, what is this person saying?"

As soon as he finished speaking, a pretty young girl emerged from the hidden door of the small dark room. Her eyes were bright and lively; it was Qu Feiyan.

She skipped over to Shi Potian's side, glanced at Yuan Fei Riyue kneeling and kowtowing, and chuckled, covering her mouth:

"Young man, this Japanese ronin has been reading too many stories about the Three Kingdoms. 'Lord' means master or leader, he's acknowledging you as his master."

Well, some people recognize him as their leader, some as their son, Tian Boguang even wants to recognize him as his grandfather, and now some people recognize him as their master. Shi Potian is already used to it all.

Shi Potian glanced at the excited Sarutobi Hiyori and wondered to himself, could it be that Lin Pingzhi looks like his lord?

He said, "I am Lin Pingzhi of the Fuwei Escort Agency, not your lord. Please get up."

Upon hearing Shi Potian's denial, Sarutobi Higetsu remained with his forehead pressed to the ground, his voice both respectful and excited:

"Fusang ninjas do not easily accept a master, but once they do, they are loyal to the death."

"My lord possesses the talent of a dragon and the appearance of the sun and moon. At a young age, he has mastered the Lin family's Evil-Repelling Sword Technique, a skill that is unparalleled. I am also somewhat famous in Japan and rarely encounter an opponent, but under my lord's command, I am powerless to fight back."

"My lord is a legend; only my lord is worthy to be my master!"

"I absolutely did not admit my mistake."

Sarutobi Higetsu's words silenced the people in the room.

Very well, the Japanese have always admired strength. This young镖头 (bodyguard/escort) is already unfathomably skilled in martial arts at such a young age; given time, he might just become another Dongfang Bubai (Invincible East).

The people of the Central Plains value their reputation, and no matter how strong the other party is, they will not readily acknowledge someone as their master and willingly submit.

Shi Potian sensed something amiss: "I'm a legend? You killed Yu Renyan just now because he slandered me?"

"Yes, my lord! He actually slandered you for plotting a sneak attack, his crime is unforgivable, he deserves to die!" Sarutobi Higetsu said bitterly.

Shi Potian remained silent upon hearing this.

Qu Feiyan asked curiously, "You hadn't even met the young man back then, nor had you acknowledged him as your master, so why were you so angry?"

Sarutobi Higetsu said, "It's a long story. Please agree to accept me first, and I will explain in detail later."

Shi Potian said, "Get up first. Tian Boguang wants to acknowledge me as his grandfather, and you want to acknowledge me as your master. You two are both too strange."

Tian Boguang blushed and looked ashamed, but he did not deny it.

Qu Feiyan and Linghu Chong burst into laughter upon hearing this.

Linghu Chong sneered, "Tian Boguang, the young镖头 (Young Escort) is old enough to be your son, yet you want to acknowledge him as your grandfather. If the young镖头 doesn't agree, why don't you acknowledge me as your grandfather first?"

Tian Boguang snorted coldly and said angrily, "Linghu Chong, once I'm healed, I'll let you taste whether my treasured sword is sharp or not!"

Sarutobi Higetsu said, "My lord, Tian Boguang is unworthy. He is a lecherous scoundrel who will only tarnish your reputation."

Qu Feiyan chuckled and said, "You're afraid that if Tian Boguang becomes your grandson, he'll also become your master, aren't you right?"

Sarutobi Higetsu looked up and quickly glanced at Qu Feiyan. He saw that the girl was indeed beautiful and charming, as well as intelligent and insightful. She was clearly not an ordinary woman from a brothel.

But the fact that she could get along so well with the master in the brothel suggests a very close relationship; she's likely the future mistress of the house, and he can't afford to offend her. He immediately replied respectfully:

"As expected of the young mistress, you are intelligent and perceptive, and you guessed it right away. This lecherous scoundrel is utterly immoral and incompetent. I could have cleaved him in two with a single stroke. Why should my lord recognize such a treacherous grandson?"

It's common in Japan to adopt sons, and while Sarutobi Sun Moon is genuinely afraid that Shi Potian will take in this lecherous scoundrel Tian Boguang, he doesn't find the whole thing particularly outrageous.

Qu Feiyan blushed at his address of "Little Mistress," glanced at Shi Potian, and smiled:

"You, this Japanese warrior, are not as uncouth as you seem; you are actually educated and reasonable."

"However, since you are reasonable, you should know that you are new here and no one knows your background. How could you possibly accept me as a young man?"

"Get up. If you are sincere, after you have undergone some tests, I will persuade the young man to accept you."

Sarutobi Higetsu nodded repeatedly, thinking to himself that his lord was indeed discerning and not just a lecherous man who lusted after beautiful women. This young mistress, with such insight at such a young age, would surely be a virtuous and capable wife in the future.

He looked at Shi Potian expectantly, waiting for him to make a statement.

Shi Potian didn't understand what "little mistress" meant, but Qu Feiyan explained it clearly and even helped him out of an awkward situation, so he said:

"Feifei is right. Get up first. We can talk about it after we've been tested."

Sarutobi Higetsu then stood up.

Tian Boguang stood aside, watching this dramatic scene, deeply shocked.

Unlike Linghu Chong, who merely watched the farce and didn't care about anything else, he, as one of the Five Wanderers of the Ming Cult, traveled throughout the Central Plains and was most concerned about the changes in the power dynamics of the martial arts world.

Sarutobi Higetsugu is extremely powerful. With this, the Fuwei Escort Agency has gained another top-tier expert, causing their strength to surge rapidly. This is just the beginning; what will happen next?

Linghu Chong, not thinking too much about such things, glanced at Shi Potian and Qu Feiyan and teased, "What are you two doing here? Judging by the red candles and brocade quilt, are you perhaps getting married?"

Shi Potian gave an awkward smile, about to tell the truth.

Linghu Chong suddenly took a gentle sniff, and a wisp of pure and rich wine aroma wafted into his nostrils. The aroma was mellow and lingering, instantly filling him with joy:

"Good wine! This is good wine! Tian Boguang, this is real wine, yours is nothing but swill!"

He was a man who loved wine to death, and when he smelled the aroma of the wine, his eyes lit up instantly, and his injuries seemed to lessen.

Tian Boguang, with his naturally gifted nose, sniffed and said, "This is the Drunken Immortal Wine you wanted. The pimp said the wine was stolen, so it's here."

Linghu Chong suddenly looked at Shi Potian and exclaimed in surprise, "Young Master Lin, you also enjoy fine wine!"

One awkward situation hadn't even ended when another one came along.

Qu Feiyan thought to herself that Linghu Chong was quite eloquent, and immediately turned around and went back to the small dark room to retrieve the wine jar. Without changing her expression, she said:

"Brother Linghu has such a keen nose. This is some good wine we stumbled upon. We don't know who hid it here, and we haven't had a chance to drink much of it yet. Brother Linghu is injured and shouldn't drink, so let's drink it another time."

As he spoke, he hid the wine jar behind his back.

Shi Potian was filled with admiration as he watched Qu Feiyan effortlessly spout lies.

Linghu Chong, his mind clouded by the aroma of wine, was about to ask for a drink when suddenly a melodious and graceful sound of string and wind instruments drifted slowly from the direction of the brothel's main hall. Accompanied by the tinkling of jade pendants, a charming and soft voice echoed throughout the courtyard:

"Esteemed guests, Miss Sunflower will be the grand finale performance today. Please move to the main hall to enjoy it—"

As soon as the sound rang out, the entire Qunyu Courtyard erupted in cheers, and everyone rushed towards the main hall.
