Chapter Twenty Guide

  After about ten or twenty minutes, a middle-aged man in his forties followed Xuejiu and hurriedly walked in. Seeing the girl, he knelt down on both knees and said with great respect: "Greetings to your greatness."

  "Longqi, it's been two months, and you still don't want to change your mind?" the girl asked with a frown.

  "Great Master, I'm already over 40 and no longer have the competitive spirit of my youth. Moreover, my qualifications are not good enough, as you also know." The middle-aged man sighed: "Now, I just want to find a warm and caring wife, raise some children, and spend the rest of my life in peace and stability."

  "You're only in your forties? From the way you talk, you sound like a sixty or seventy year old man." The girl's smile was somewhat helpless: "You have great wisdom, it would be a pity to leave just like that, but everyone has their own aspirations, I won't force you."

  "Thank you, sir." The middle-aged man's expression relaxed immediately.

  "He is Su Tang, let him replace you then." The girl said, pointing at Su Tang.

  The middle-aged man looked at Su Tang and said, "Great Master, you will be staying here for a few days, right? I'll immediately find someone to clean up the yard."

  "I'll leave soon." The girl said: "Originally didn't want to enter the city, but some can't bear to part with it, want to take a last look, Pengshan... is too far away."

  The middle-aged man was stunned, then knelt down again and kowtowed several times, trembling with fear: "Longqi has received great kindness from the Grand Master, should have sacrificed his life to follow him, but unfortunately Longqi's talent is shallow and cannot..."

  "You and I met for a moment, don't say these things." The girl looked somewhat melancholic: "Alright, all of you go out, I want to be alone for a while. Longqi, take Su Tang around everywhere, let him get familiar with the environment here first."

  "Yes, sir." The middle-aged man stood up, forced a smile at Su Tang, and turned to walk away.

  Su Tang hastily followed behind the middle-aged man, but somehow there was a hint of farewell. It seemed that after the girl left, she would never come back again.

  "Take care of yourself." The middle-aged man said faintly as he walked to the door.

  The middle-aged man's body shook slightly, he wanted to turn back, but turned halfway and slowly turned back again.

  Su Tang clearly saw that the middle-aged man's eyes were filled with tears, so he deliberately slowed down his pace, pretending to admire the scenery in the courtyard, and fell far behind.

  When Su Tang slowly walked to the gate of the courtyard, the middle-aged man had already returned to normal and was smiling as he waited for him.

  "Brother Long, I'm a bit dull-witted, so I hope you can give me more guidance." Su Tang said hastily.

  The dragon flag couldn't help but laugh: "It doesn't look like you're someone who can gain great trust and respect."

  "Why?" Su Tang was taken aback. He had expressed goodwill, but the other party turned around and ridiculed him, which seemed a bit excessive.

  "Da Zun is a gentle and easy-going person who likes nature. If you always speak to him like that, he will definitely scold you. If you don't change your ways, you might even get beaten up. Do you believe it?"

  "Hmph..." Su Tang snorted with laughter.

  That girl's strength is unfathomable and her mind is clever and sharp, with great wisdom? To be able to get that girl's high praise, the dragon flag in front of us is absolutely not a simple role.

  So, Su Tang had been carefully observing the other party. The middle-aged man was handsome, with bright eyes, a straight nose and a wide mouth. However, his sideburns and hair were flecked with white, giving him an air of premature aging.

  As he walked out of the hospital gate, Long Qi turned his head and took a last look, sighing softly: "Not a bad place... what a pity..."

  Su Tang thought that Long Qi was talking about the desolate and dilapidated scene in the courtyard, nodded and said: "Yes, Brother Long, you have to help me find some people to clean up, otherwise it's really impossible for people to live here."

  "What?" Longqi was taken aback: "Dazun... gave this courtyard to you?"

  Yes.

  "I thought Da Zun would destroy this place." Long Qi's expression changed slightly, and he carefully looked up and down at Su Tang several times.

  "Why destroy it?" Su Tang asked in puzzlement.

  "Sometimes, getting rid of the entanglements and forgetting the past is the only way to move forward." Long Qi said softly: "Cleaning up the courtyard is a small matter, there are many more important things. Come with me, Su Tang. What have you done before? I mean your experiences, of course, if you don't want to say it, that's fine too."

  "I used to be in Xiaolin Fort..." Su Tang's tone was somewhat entangled, what kind of experience could he say out loud?

  "Kobayakajō? Sounds familiar." Ryūki said: "And after leaving Kobayakajō?"

  "We've arrived at Lin's Fort after leaving Xiao Linbao."

  "Oh......oh?!" Su Tang suddenly stopped in his tracks, the two "oh" tones were also completely different: "Then you are at Xiaoling Fort..."

  "Ever since I came to my senses, I've been working hard to cultivate myself." Su Tang said with a thick face, this wasn't a lie, because there was a prefix, after coming to my senses, I only came to my senses a month ago, how's that?

  "So that's how it is." Long Qi suddenly enlightened: "Dazun has always liked to dig up talented people, haha... Changshan County will have another warrior soon."

  "I'm not a fighter..." Despite having an extremely strong will, Su Tang felt a sense of shame: "Nor am I a warrior."

  Longqi's expression became extremely strange, he was stunned for a moment, turned around and looked at Su Tang, this was his third time sizing up Su Tang, after a while, he broke into a smile: "So you're just like me, can only rely on your mouth to make a living..."

  Su Tang's gaze swept over Long Qi's body, Long Qi was dressed meticulously, with a bright red jade pendant hanging from his chest and a pair of golden fish-shaped ornaments at his waist, weighing around three to four ounces, what kind of mixed rice was this?

  "Do you know what kind of person I am?" Long Qi's face turned solemn, and without waiting for Su Tang to answer, he continued: "Do you know what kind of person you will become?"

  "Please also give me your guidance, Brother Long." Su Tang also became serious.

  "Change of plans, come with me."

  Two people strolled forward along the long street, Longqi asked Sutang if he had ever been to Changshan County before, Sutang shook his head, and Longqi began to introduce while walking, very seriously, just like a dedicated tour guide.

  After walking for almost twenty minutes, Longqi turned into a blacksmith's shop on the side of the street. Although it was still early, there was only one blacksmith working in front of the furnace, with no customers in sight, and business seemed to be very poor.

  Longqi naturally pulled over a chair and sat down: "After talking for half a day, my throat is almost smoking, little fool, do you have any tea?"

  The blacksmith turned his head and swept away like a dragon flag, his face icy cold, and continued to do his own work, completely ignoring the dragon flag.

  "Never mind, I'll find it myself." Long Qi shrugged and stood up, walking towards the inner room.

  Su Tang was watching the blacksmith, his physique was extremely unusual, just one glance and it would be firmly imprinted in his mind, impossible to forget. First of all, the blacksmith was very short, only about 1.3 meters tall, but his body was both thick and sturdy, like a wooden stump, with a pair of oversized hands, each finger as thick as a large sausage.
