Chapter Thirty-Four: True Energy Released Outwardly

  Facing Li Ruoxi's unscrupulous and hearty laughter, Wang Ke's heart was slightly annoyed. Even if the other party was a stunning beauty, she couldn't be so gleeful about his misfortune, could she?

  "Boss Wang, do you have any instructions? If not, I'll go back to doing my homework. Although that senior gave me a month's time, it's not easy to complete this arduous task within a month." Wang Ke said calmly.

  Li Ruoxi couldn't help but notice the dissatisfaction in Wang Ke's heart, but she didn't know why. The more dissatisfied Wang Ke was, the more pleased Li Ruoxi felt. However, thinking of the reason she had called him, the smile on Li Ruoxi's face slowly disappeared. She reached out and picked up the paper with many words written on it from the tea table, handed it to Wang Ke, and said: "This is the agreement you agreed to yesterday, sign your name! A man should keep his word, you can't go back on what you've already agreed to."

  Wang Ke's eyebrows rose as he took the paper and when he clearly saw the contents of the treaty, his face became somewhat annoyed.

  "Boss Wang, isn't this contract a bit too harsh? Let's not mention other projects for now. Look at article 26 - I have to be on call at all times, and our employment contract has to be within two years. If I quit or don't work during these two years, I'll have to compensate you with ten times the total income I've earned since starting work. Are you planning to treat me like a long-term laborer?"

  Li Ruoxi was calm and composed, saying: "Since you want to be my bodyguard, and during the trial period these days, I'm quite satisfied with you. So, the contract should be longer! Do you think I'm hiring a temporary worker? Look at those jobs outside now, which boss would let their employees work for just ten or half a month before quitting? That kind of employee, if there's a boss who wants them, is crazy! Moreover, here I provide food, accommodation, and high salary. You're lucky to have such a good boss like me. Don't waste words, you agreed last night, hurry up and sign."

  Wang Ke was furious and said: "I agreed, but I didn't agree to sign such a harsh contract? No way, this clause must be changed."

  Li Ruoxi didn't persist, but instead asked with a hint of surprise: "Are you planning to jump ship? Or are you dissatisfied with the treatment I've given you as your boss?"

  Wang Ke hastily shook his head, joking that if Li Ruoxi gave himself such generous treatment and he was still not satisfied, then he would be overestimating himself. Even with his special ability to see through things, what if it took a year or two to successfully pick up something useful? Wouldn't that be a waste of time?

  "I understand, so it's because I've been too restrictive on you? Making you feel like you have no freedom?" Li Ruoxi said again.

  Wang Ke shook his head again, thinking that he had been here at Li Ruoxi's place for five or six days now. Except for the first two nights when he subdued those five thugs, she hadn't restricted him in any way. He could eat and drink well, live comfortably, and even go out to indulge himself - she wouldn't stop him.

  "Is it because I'm ugly? Did I scare you off? So you don't plan on working for me anymore?" Li Ruoxi slowly stood up, staring at Wang Ke.

  Wang Ke didn't hesitate for a moment and shook his head again. What an international joke, if you're ugly, then there's no beauty in this world.

  "Is it that this temple is too small for you, making you uncomfortable? Can't accommodate a great god like you?" Li Ruoxi's face turned somewhat cold.

  Wang Ke shook his head again. This was a luxurious villa, not only with an independent yard, but also with a swimming pool and garden, and three parking spaces. How could it be small?

  Li Ruoxi stretched out her hand to grab the pen on the tea table and handed it to Wang Ke, saying: "Since none of these are true, then you quickly sign it. Otherwise, I really think that all of this is my boss's fault."

  "I..."

  Wang Ke smiled wryly and looked at Li Ruoxi's appearance, hesitating.

  "What's wrong with you? This isn't a life contract, it's just to give your job some good security. Am I wrong? If it were someone else, not to mention two years, even two months would be too long for me, hurry up and sign it, later I still have to go online." Li Ruoxi showed some impatience.

  Wang Ke took a deep breath and looked at Li Ruoxi, saying: "If I really have to sign it, then this two-year time limit must be removed. My ultimate goal in coming to Changji City is not simply to find a job. I need to learn, and you've also seen that I need to learn from antique dealers, legal experts, and even feng shui masters. So I don't have much time to protect your safety. Remove this time constraint, and I have the right to resign."

  Li Ruoxi was stunned for a moment, looking at Wang Ke's serious face, her eyebrows slightly furrowed.

  "Do you have great ambitions?"

  Wang Ke was not arrogant, nodded solemnly and said: "That's right, I came to Changji, I must make a big career by myself."

  Li Ruoxi's face was filled with skepticism as she said, "You're not kidding, are you?"

  "The sparrow knows not the ambitions of the swan."

  "You..."

  Li Ruoxi's apricot eyes narrowed, and a smile immediately appeared on her face. A sly glint flashed in her eyes before she lightly coughed and said: "In that case, I think this clause doesn't need to be changed either. We can add one more - I'll let you study freely without restrictions. If you want to learn, I'll let you learn; if you want to start a business, as long as it doesn't take up too much time, I agree. Of course, when I need you, you still have to protect me!"

  Wang Ke thought quickly in his heart, without restricting his own freedom, it was like these days, and there was also food and shelter.

  "No problem, you add this one and I'll sign."

  Li Ruoxi's movements were quick and agile, and she quickly added the content to the contract before handing it over to Wang Ke. As he signed his name, she smiled slightly in satisfaction and nodded, saying: "Since that's the case, this contract is now officially in effect. In ten days, I have something important that requires you to go out with me. Be mentally prepared, because this time when we go out, it will be for negotiations with others."

  Wang Ke wondered: "Ten days later, what kind of mental preparation should I make?"

  Li Ruoxi didn't respond to Wang Ke's words, she just handed him a "you listen" look with her eyes, then hugged her laptop and went upstairs.

  Looking at Li Ruoxi's swaying back, Wang Ke's heart was filled with doubts. Suddenly, he felt as if he had fallen into a big trouble, and the bad premonition in his heart grew stronger and stronger.

  Right, when she met with her for the second time, she said that someone was going to harm her, and the reason why she contacted me was because she thought I was a bad person who would harm her. Does she really have some kind of enemy?

  Negotiate with others?

  Who is negotiating with?

  Isn't she actually a big sister of the underworld?

  In these days since she came back, it seems like she hasn't gone out at all. If she has a company in Changji City, why doesn't she go to the company?

  His mind was flooded with all sorts of questions, and he wanted to rush upstairs to ask what was going on. However, after taking just a few steps forward, he stopped in his tracks. If Li Ruoxi had wanted to tell him, she probably would have done so already. And if she didn't want to say anything, then even if he asked her directly, she probably still wouldn't tell him.

  "Never mind, when soldiers come, we'll block them; when water comes, we'll dam it. Let's just go with the flow! Besides, I'm not some kind of big shot myself, no money, no influence, and I'm not afraid she has any ulterior motives."

  Wang Ke shook his head and walked towards his own room.

  There is still a month's time before the next assessment, although Zhao Lao gave himself a very heavy task, but he didn't rush for the time being, first rest for a day, and then talk about memorizing things by rote.

  After some thought, he opened the computer in the room and searched online for information on antiques, artifacts, and Feng Shui arrays. Sometimes, after finding and browsing through the materials, he would even take out his own U-disk and store them away, then study and compare with the books he had bought.

  Because his memory has improved again, he remembers things very quickly.

  A few hours later, Wang Ke had acquired a large amount of knowledge. After shutting down the computer, he sat cross-legged and began to practice the "Dragon Elephant" skill method. Before that, he quickly reviewed all the knowledge points he learned today, only then did he feel satisfied and calm his mind to start practicing.

  The breakthrough in the cultivation of the "Dragon Elephant" technique was something that Wang Ke had never thought of, even in his dreams. He had been cultivating for many years, but it took him nearly ten years to advance from the first level to the second level. However, advancing from the second level to the third level only took less than ten days, which gave him a feeling as if he was dreaming.

  But the power surging through his body was real and tangible, and this boundless energy was something that couldn't be experienced in a dream.

  The rapidly circulating true energy, with these two days of cultivation, although it hasn't increased, he can feel that his cultivation realm has stabilized.

  "Huh?"

  Wang Ke's eyes, which had been slightly closed during his cultivation, suddenly opened wide. His hands stretched out in front of him without warning.

  A numb and tingling sensation was born in his heart, a swarm of true energy, surprisingly following the meridians of both arms, quickly surging into the palm. This situation is not under his control, but when the true energy is running, there are some subtle movements, so he didn't make much control, letting the true energy flowing rapidly in the body's meridians to operate on its own.

  What's going on?

  How can the fingertips have an itchy and unbearable taste?

  Wang Ke's mind rose with a big question mark, and suddenly he felt a coolness floating on the tips of his ten fingers. At that moment, the true energy flowing into his palms seemed to be pulled by something, and after quickly merging into the skin of his fingertips, it was like a young sprout rapidly drilling out of the mud. Ten weak streams of air shot out from his fingertips.

  Ten strands of air that were barely visible to the naked eye shot out, only half a foot long, and vanished into thin air in an instant. Those tingling ten fingers also became somewhat swollen, looking much thicker than usual.

  Wang Ke's eyes were filled with a dull expression, his heart was slightly trembling, and after a few seconds, when he quickly reacted, he suddenly felt an overwhelming joy that climbed up his face.

  A trembling voice, one word and one sentence at a time, came out of his mouth:

  "Heavens! Is true energy being released externally?"
