Chapter 177 Debt Collection and Gambling Agreement (Part )
"Li Fu, you are so confused!" The speaker was the head of the Kowloon Gang, Lu Liang. He looked even older than Long Qingtian, skinny, and his hair was completely white. But his eyes were bright and when he heard Li Fu crying, he first signaled the Peng Chun brothers to quickly help the father and daughter sit up, and then he said with regret: "Let's not talk about being cheated. If you hadn't been addicted to gambling, how could this series of things happen later! Your family was originally well-off. Since your wife passed away, you have given up on yourself and ruined the family! If it weren't for Xiao Yun'er holding you up, your body might have been lying in some stinky ditch and being gnawed by rats! I have advised you so many times, but you just don't learn your lesson! This time, not only did you hurt yourself, but you almost sacrificed Xiao Yun'er's lifelong happiness. As a father, how can you bear it! A hundred years later, how can you have the face to see your wife who exchanged her life for the birth of your daughter!"
At this point, he glared at Li Fu fiercely, then softened his tone and continued, "Xiao Yun'er has suffered so much. She was so sensible when she was just a little kid, and she started to support the family and serve you. When she grew up, she was almost sold by you! Humph!" After just two sentences, Lu Liang got angry again. Peng Chun hurriedly poured a cup of tea for the old man, and the old man took a deep breath, turned his eyes to Xiaohua and the others, and then said in a friendly manner: "Thanks to the chivalrous hearts of the young friends, this father and daughter escaped. I thank you again on behalf of the two of you!" As he said that, Lu Liang stood up and saluted the five people solemnly. The five people quickly stood up and said that they were not worthy of it, and they should be, and the old senior didn't need to be polite.
"A few days ago, the mountain received a letter notifying students from three famous schools to come here to perform tasks. I didn't expect that today, I would have the chance to receive top students from Tianlan Academy. Tianlan is indeed the most prestigious university in the world, and all the students taught are outstanding. In my opinion, you are not only talented, but also have good character. You will definitely have a bright future!" Seeing that they were polite, Lu Liang praised them again. It was not until the group spokesperson Wang Xiaoqiang asked Senior Lu to take care of them and let them complete the task smoothly that the old man stopped praising them. Instead, he agreed seriously: "The five of you are here to do good things, and we should cooperate. If you can really help solve the disease of the Bodhi tree, we will thank you from all of us in Jiulongling!"
Wang Xiaoqiang was about to ask when he could go see the sick Bodhi tree, but he heard a voice from outside the door: "Report! Erlong Gang's Second Leader Tu, Third Leader Hu, and Chief Steward Tu are here to visit!"
Several people were startled - they didn't expect Hu Junfeng to come to their door so soon! Thinking of this, they subconsciously looked at Lu Liang, and saw him glance at Peng Chun. Peng Chun understood and sent a message to someone, then stood on both sides of Lu Liang with his second brother Peng Xia and two other red-faced men - his third and fourth brothers, Peng Qiu and Peng Dong, like indestructible loyal guards.
Then, Lu Liang asked his servants to take Li Fu and his daughter, Yun Bai and the other four to the back hall to sit for a while, and then ordered "Line up to welcome the guests!" As soon as the voice fell, nearly two hundred figures appeared outside. They were all young men, wearing the uniform clothes of the Kowloon Gang, holding a red tasseled spear that looked like a mid-level magic weapon in one hand, and lined up in two rows along the entrance of the courtyard square, neat and uniform, with awe-inspiring momentum and majesty!
"Hahahaha, old boss Lu, a few of us are here to visit, how dare we trouble you to make such a scene?" Yun Bai knew this voice, it was Tu Tianlong, one of the foreign players of the Tiger Gang in the previous Chaos Land Competition! Yun Bai and his friends also knew the other two people, the smiling tiger Tu Tianhu and Hu Junfeng who had been beaten badly by Xiaohua and his friends' combination skills! Unexpectedly, the Tu brothers were actually members of the Erlong Gang, and Tu Tianlong was the second boss, and Tu Tianhu was the chief manager!
"The two leaders of the Erlong Gang and a steward have come together, so we must treat them with courtesy!" The speaker was a middle-aged man, not tall, well-proportioned, and looked to be in his fifties. This man was Lu Liang's eldest grandson, Lu Jin. Beside Lu Jin, there were two others, his father, Lu Liang's only son, Lu Wang, and Lu Jin's second brother, Lu Hui. Lu Wang had gray hair and looked to be in his eighties, but his back was very straight and his eyes were very bright; Lu Hui was about twenty-five or twenty-six years old, quite tall, and almost half a head taller than his father.
"Haha, please take a seat, all three of you." The person who spoke this time was Lv Wang, the current second leader of the Erlong Gang. He had a much gentler personality and was not as obviously aggressive as his eldest son.
"Hmph! This is the Juyi Hall. Be careful of the heartless and ungrateful people who sit down and get sores on their buttocks!" At this time, another crisp female voice came, and then a young girl in green strode into the Juyi Hall first, saluted with Lu Liang and others, and stood next to Lu Hui. She was Lu Wang's youngest daughter, Lu Juan, and also Lu Liang's favorite granddaughter.
"Juan'er, don't be rude! You are a girl..." Seeing his daughter speak without restraint, Lu Wang hurriedly whispered to stop her. However, his personality was too good, so he had no deterrent effect at all. But Lu Juan still stuck out her tongue and shut up obediently - in public, she must give her father face.
"Big Boss, Second Boss, and everyone, the three of us brothers are here today because there was a misunderstanding down the mountain. My third brother feels very sorry, so to be serious, he specially asked the three of us brothers to come together to apologize to the old boss." Tu Tianhu is the most scheming, and he usually speaks. "We have also prepared a small gift to show our appreciation. I hope the old boss will not despise it and must accept it! - Come on, bring the gift up!"
"You guys are so polite, don't you have something to say?" Tu Tianhu was smiling and waiting for someone to give him a gift, but he didn't expect Grandpa Lu Liang to say something shocking - no wonder he loves his little granddaughter Lu Juan the most, the two of them speak in exactly the same way! But it was precisely because Grandpa Lu didn't play by the rules that Tu Tianhu's prepared remarks were disrupted, and the three of them looked a little embarrassed, and their smiles froze on their faces. Tu Tianlong, who had a bad temper, almost lost his temper on the spot, but was secretly stopped by Tu Tianhu. After a moment, Tu Tianhu forced a smile and said:
"The old gang leader still likes to joke. The three of us younger generations really came here with sincerity this time." As he said that, he signaled his men to open the gift box, which turned out to be a box full of colorful marble-sized oval beads. This is the famous Vajra Bodhi seeds. There are nearly a hundred seeds in such a large box. Judging from the grade, they should be between the second and third grades, and the quality is also above average. This number and quality of Vajra Bodhi seeds must be worth at least hundreds of thousands of low-grade spirit coins. Everyone present couldn't help but widen their eyes - in Jiulong Mountain, the status of Vajra Bodhi seeds is transcendent, and sometimes they can even be used as hard currency. Therefore, even Lu Liang himself couldn't help but be slightly moved. However, he quickly regained his lazy demeanor, and just as he was about to speak, he heard his little granddaughter Lu Juan mutter in a low voice:
"The weasel wishes the chicken a happy new year!"
