Chapter 1597 - 1492: Ren Zhengfei’s Revenge

This Wang Fugui, how spineless can he be?

The surrounding crowd was stunned.

Someone who was so fearless, not even afraid of death, now groveling like a reptile?

The contrast was too great!

Only Shopkeeper Wang’s face showed joy, knowing the real reason.

Wang Fugui had always been obsessed with the Immortal Path, and because of his deep obsession, he fell to such a state.

Now he has a chance to realize his dream, does dignity matter at all?

"Wang Fugui? Are you sure you want to be my lapdog?" Qin Hao said with amusement.

"Absolutely certain!" Wang Fugui, filled with excitement, was trembling even while prostrating on the ground.

"Then get up, from now on, remember to listen to me," Qin Hao said indifferently, while Wang Fugui still found it hard to believe.

Is he really safe now? And does he even have a chance to learn the Immortal Technique?

It was truly indescribable...

When Shopkeeper Wang helped Wang Fugui up, he was still a bit disoriented, thinking it was all unreal.

It was only when he saw the envious faces around him that he realized it was all real.

He took a deep breath to suppress his emotions and said, "But... my father said my Spiritual Root is too low, it would be very difficult to become an Immortal..."

"Don’t worry, with me here, as long as you have a Spiritual Root, becoming an Immortal is just a matter of moments!"

Qin Hao said with great confidence.

"Then... thank you so much!" The notorious disciple Wang Fugui, for once, expressed gratitude.

Qin Hao squinted his eyes and smiled, "However, let me be clear beforehand, if you’re my lapdog, you must have the resolve, understood?"

"I understand!"

As Wang Fugui said this, he knelt again, proactively bent down, and lightly kissed the tip of Qin Hao’s shoe.

This scene made outsiders look on with great disdain.

Yet some showed admiration.

This Wang Fugui, fearless of death yet can lower himself when needed, able to adapt, is really a talent.

"Master! This is Beijing’s most famous foot-kissing ceremony, my loyalty to you is now evidenced by heaven and earth!"

Wang Fugui completely cast away his dignity.

Shopkeeper Wang watching this scene felt an unpleasant taste in his heart.

His nephew had grown up under his watch, arrogant and flamboyant since childhood.

But now, behaving as meek as a servant, truly a blow to one’s worldview.

"Alright, stand up and wait on the sidelines."

Qin Hao waved his hand indifferently, "Alright, let’s continue the banquet!"

For him, subduing Wang Fugui was just paving the way for the future; currently, this guy was still useless.

With Qin Hao’s words, the surroundings returned to a joyful atmosphere.

Despite the assassination attempt, Qin Hao’s mood was undisturbed, instructing Shopkeeper Wang to take Wang Fugui for treatment, while he continued to raise a pot of wine to toast around.

"Uncle! I won’t leave! Let me stay here to admire the master’s elegance!"

Wang Fugui refused his uncle’s support.

Shopkeeper Wang got angry, "You blockhead! Right now, Young Master Qin is very busy and has no time to bother with you!"

"I don’t need the master to bother, I want to guard him!" Wang Fugui said stubbornly.

"Guard?" Shopkeeper Wang couldn’t help but laugh mockingly, "With your unsteady hands, you have the nerve to say you’ll protect Young Master Qin?"

After pausing a moment, he glanced at Qin Hao’s back, then leaned closer to Wang Fugui’s ear, whispering, "Stop pretending, Young Master Qin isn’t paying attention to you now, there’s no need to ingratiate so earnestly..."

Wang Fugui glanced at his uncle indifferently and said, "Uncle, you’ve got it wrong, I’m sincerely and wholeheartedly pledging to the master now! From now on, I’m master’s most loyal servant."

"You!" Shopkeeper Wang pointed at his nephew, unable to speak for a long time.

In just a short time, his nephew underwent a complete change?

"Fine, don’t leave then!" Helplessly, Shopkeeper Wang could only shake his sleeves and went to the elegant room alone to compose himself.

Wang Fugui ignored his uncle’s departure, his eyes fixed on Qin Hao’s back, revealing a look of longing: "In the future, I’ll have a chance to learn the Immortal Technique, thank you, master!"

...

...

Night.

The banquet finally dispersed.

Although Wanbao Town was small, the townsfolk were warm and uninhibited and drank with no restraint.

So many people got drunk during this time, and this town known for its medicinal herbs faced an economic paralysis, with many outside herbal merchants leaving empty-handed.

Inside the tavern.

When Butcher Zhu and several townsfolk left singing mountain songs, Shopkeeper Wang instructed people to close the tavern doors.

Otherwise, the group would come and cause disturbances endlessly, leaving everyone sleepless tonight.

Shopkeeper Wang yawned, turned, and went to the elegant room on the third floor.

Inside the room, Qin Hao was sitting there, resting on the sofa.

Beside him, Wang Fugui stood there with a pig-headed appearance, extremely humble in attitude.

"Young Master Qin, the guests have all been sent off," Shopkeeper Wang said very respectfully.

"Mm. Here’s your reward."

Qin Hao said indifferently, as the Void Storage Ring flashed, and an Elixir appeared in his hand.

Sharp-eyed Shopkeeper Wang, who once handled purchases for the Huashan Sect and had dealings with many disciples, naturally recognized what the Elixir was.

"Gathering Essence Pill! This is actually a Gathering Essence Pill!"

Shopkeeper Wang trembled all over, barely daring to reach out and take it.

"Gathering Essence Pill? Uncle? What’s that?" Wang Fugui couldn’t hold back his curiosity and interrupted.

"It’s an Elixir capable of transforming ordinary people! It’s worth a fortune!"

Shopkeeper Wang explained excitedly, and Wang Fugui was shocked, his expression full of envy.

Qin Hao said indifferently, "This Elixir isn’t that magical, but it does help disciples become Immortals. Shopkeeper Wang, just take this as payment for the food."

"That’s unacceptable!" Shopkeeper Wang knew the value of the Gathering Essence Pill and didn’t dare to accept it.

You know, there are so many Outer Court Disciples, yet not many possess a Gathering Essence Pill.

"This is just a small matter to me, give it to Wang Fugui if you won’t take it. Stop dawdling,"

Urged by Qin Hao, Shopkeeper Wang finally accepted it.

Holding the warm Gathering Essence Pill in his hand, he glanced over at the eager Wang Fugui and laughed, "Stop staring, I’ll give it to you later!"

"Thanks, Uncle!" Wang Fugui jumped for joy.

"Alright, you two go now, let me have a peaceful sleep."

Qin Hao, with closed eyes, said somewhat wearily.

Having drunk with the townsfolk for so long, he was a bit exhausted and wanted to rest.

"Master, can I stay to guard you?" Wang Fugui asked weakly.

"No need," Qin Hao refused curtly.

"Alright then."

Wang Fugui dared not say more, and he and Shopkeeper Wang quietly left the elegant room, not forgetting to lightly close the door.

Qin Hao closed his eyes to rest but heard the sound of the door opening and faint footsteps approaching.

"I said, don’t disturb me."

Qin Hao frowned, slightly displeased.

Strangely, the person did not respond but walked closer.

Before Qin Hao could open his eyes, he suddenly felt his spine tingle, as if the whole room was engulfed in a cold, chilling wave.

Something’s wrong! This is a killing intent!

Qin Hao immediately opened his eyes and turned around.

Crack!

A streak of blade light flashed, turning the reclining chair into wooden shards under the cut of the Spiritual Energy Saber.

Qin Hao flipped up, a look of shock replaced by a cold smile: "Specifically coming to kill me, Ren Zhengfei, you’re quite something!"
