Chapter 30: Dogleg

After the worship, Lu Li went back to his own courtyard with his head down.

As soon as he arrived at the gate, he heard the sound of laughing. Lu Li quickly suppressed his loneliness, tidied his clothes, raised his head and walked in. Looking at the busy figure, he smiled and shouted: "Fatty, did you miss me?"

"Boss?"

Chen Zhong was slightly stunned when he saw Lu Li coming in, and then he was ecstatic and ran over in three or two steps, "Boss, you are finally back. I heard that the elder has a very strange temper. Come on, let me see if you are missing any limbs!"

Lu Li's face twitched, and he laughed and scolded, "What do you mean by missing any limbs? Can't you see that I am fine?"

"Uh, I said the wrong thing." Chen Zhong scratched his head and looked embarrassed.

"Okay, I don't blame you." Lu Li patted Chen Zhong on the shoulder, "How is it, did Wen Hong give you a hard time?"

"No, I haven't seen him since you left."

"That's good..."

As Lu Li expected, Chen Zhong completed this month's work in just three days, and then kept hiding in the yard to practice. He almost never went out except for eating. His hard work in practice was no worse than Lu Li's.

Moreover, the opponent's Shaking Mountain Fist was also a minor success, reaching three times the explosive power, which was quite terrifying.

Lu Li did not practice boxing for a month, and was still in the minor success stage. However, the fireball technique had been practiced to perfection, and he could use the fireball technique at will. The power of the explosion depended on the amount of true energy in his body.

The two chatted for a long time before they separated. Lu Li felt very familiar when he returned to the room he had not seen for a long time. The spiritual energy here was much worse than that of Tianjue Peak. Lu Li was a little tired after a month, so he didn't plan to practice today.

Regardless of whether it was dark or not, Lu Li covered his head and went to sleep directly.

I don't know how long I slept. In a daze, Lu Li suddenly heard a knock on the door outside. He frowned and thought to himself, didn't I tell you not to disturb me?

Scratching his head in frustration, Lu Li got up and opened the door.

When he opened it, it turned out that it was not Chen Zhong, but a burly middle-aged man. Lu Li was stunned for a moment, "Sir, what do you want?"

The man was Wen Hong.

Wen Hong smiled and looked into the house, "Chat?"

Lu Li quickly made way for Wen Hong, and then sat down at the table after he entered. Because it was a little dark, Lu Li also turned on the lights.

"It seems that you have been doing well in Tianjue Peak this month?" Wen Hong looked at Lu Li and said.

"It's OK. The Great Elder is not as difficult to serve as I imagined."

"Great Elder?" Wen Hong was slightly stunned. "You didn't see Deng Qingsheng?"

"I heard that Senior Brother Deng seemed to have upset the Great Elder and was punished to go to the back mountain to reflect on his past, so I didn't meet him." Lu Li didn't say why Deng Qingsheng was punished, and said casually.

"Oh, then you are really lucky."

Wen Hong said with some emotion, "Many people in our Miscellaneous Hall have been tortured by him. Now when Tianjue Peak is mentioned, basically no one dares to go there."

Hearing what Wen Hong said, Lu Li's face suddenly became a little ugly. He thought that Wen Hong was really not a good guy. He didn't even explain the situation to me before going there. Fortunately, I was lucky.

"Don't blame me, kid. I have no choice. Besides, you are fine."

"I dare not."

"Heh." Wen Hong smiled awkwardly and took out a purple card. "Take it. This is one thousand contributions. I promised to give you three hundred contributions before. Seeing your resentful look, the extra is to make up for you."

Lu Li's eyes flashed, and he quickly put away the contribution card and said with a smile, "The steward is really straightforward."

In total, he now has a full seven thousand contributions, which can be exchanged for seventy Condensation Pills, but this contribution is still far from enough for him.

Now he urgently needs more contributions to exchange for Condensation Pills to quickly break through to the third level and become a formal disciple, because only formal disciples can exchange for more advanced spells. If you are just a chores, some spells cannot be exchanged even if you have contributions.

"Very good, I like your greedy character."

Seeing Lu Li's expression, Wen Hong nodded with satisfaction, "How have you considered what I told you last time?"

The last thing?

Lu Li frowned, and then he remembered that Wen Hong had asked him to help him before he left, but the reputation of "lackey" was a bit too bad.

There were 66 disciples in the errand hall, and at least most of them hated Sun Zi'an.

"You have to think about it. You have to know that even if you don't do it, as long as I ask, there will be a lot of people in the errand hall who will rush to do it." Seeing Lu Li frowning, Wen Hong said lightly.

"Okay, I'll do it!"

Lu Li agreed after a little hesitation. If it was just an ordinary errand, the normal task would be 300 contributions a month at most. In this way, I don't know when I will break through the third level of Qi training and become a formal disciple.

He couldn't wait to become a formal disciple.

Then he asked, "Sir Steward, I can do it, but I want to know, if this gets out, will there be trouble?"

"Trouble?" Wen Hong sneered, "Don't worry, this is the tradition of the Miscellaneous Hall, and the people above know it well. As long as you don't kill anyone, I can help you with other things."

"But let me be frank, if you kill someone and it's exposed, don't blame me for cutting off my relationship with you."

So that's how it is.

Lu Li finally understood why that Sun Zi'an dared to be so unscrupulous before.

The two chatted for a while, and Wen Hong left. Lu Li still sat at the table, tapping his fingers lightly on the table, his eyes wandering, and I don't know what he was thinking.

Ding ding ding ding...

The next morning, the first day of May.

The familiar knocking sound came from outside early in the morning. Lu Li had a rare good rest for the night. After getting up, he went to the yard to wash up, and then went out of the yard with Chen Zhong.

"Boss, I heard that Wen Hong is going to choose a new lackey. When he chooses, how about we secretly kill him?" Chen Zhong said mysteriously while walking.

"What!"

Lu Li's face twitched, and he glared at Chen Zhong fiercely, "What lackey, you should be careful when you talk."

"Did I say something wrong?" Chen Zhong scratched his head behind him, looking puzzled.

When the two arrived at the square of the errand hall, most of the people were there. They gathered in groups of three or four and whispered about something. Lu Li listened to a few sentences and found that they were probably discussing who was the new "lackey" selected by Wen Hong.

There were four people who followed Sun Zi'an before. They were now in extreme panic. They used to rely on Sun Zi'an's support and acted arrogantly in front of everyone.

Lu Li walked forward while listening to everyone's discussion. At this moment, a tall and thin man in gray suddenly stopped him and reminded him in a low voice:

"Junior Brother Lu, don't go forward. Today is different from the past. If you rush forward and are seen by the "lackey" selected by Wen Hong, they will definitely think you are deliberately showing off, and you will inevitably be targeted again."

Lu Li recognized the man, named Chu Qingfeng, who had been doing errands for seven or eight years. He was still at the second level of Qi training, but it seemed that he was about to break through the third level of Qi training and become a formal disciple.

Chu Qingfeng was a good person. When they first came to the errand hall, Chu Qingfeng kindly reminded them that they would only be errand boys for the rest of their lives if they followed Sun Zi'an.

As for the fact that Lu Li and the other two were targeted by Sun Zi'an, many people in the errand hall felt sympathy, but it was just sympathy. Only Chu Qingfeng went to Lu Li's courtyard to comfort a few people.

Lu Li had always kept it in mind. Seeing the other party's reminder, Lu Li nodded and said, "Thank you, Senior Brother Chu, for the reminder." Then he walked straight up the stone steps under the other party's surprised eyes.

Then...
