I Only Want to Lie Flat But Am Forced to Cultivate Immortality-Chapter 255 - 143 Golden Guardian, Mr. Ling_2

The cats of the eighth and ninth levels are rare and sought-after in the Flower and Bird Market. However, their owners generally won’t sell them.

Xu Qing had never seen a cat above the seventh level, and Xuan Yu’s words piqued his curiosity.

"If you want to know, I can count for you."

Xuan Yu nodded in response.

"Open your mouth and don’t move."

"One, two, three..."

At this moment, Xu Qing was like a dentist, and Xuan Yu was a nervous patient.

When Xu Qing counted to ’eight,’ he suddenly paused.

Xuan Yu visibly tensed up.

"Eight point one, eight point two..."

Xuan Yu’s eyes widened, and the tension accumulated in his heart instantly dissipated.

"Xu Qing!"

The young girl’s scolding voice echoed through the Funeral Shop.

Seeing that the cat in front of him was really getting angry, Xu Qing hurriedly laughed and said, "It’s the ninth level, Xuan Yu is a legendary Spirit Cat..."

After learning that he was a top-tier cat, Xuan Yu was evidently very happy. With the principle of mutual care, he decided to help Xu Qing count human ’levels’ in return, no matter what.

"One, two... only three levels, Xu Immortal Family is not a very smart person."

"..."

Xu Qing closed his mouth and said irritably, "Humans and cats are different, only cats look at the palate."

"Then where do humans look?"

Xu Qing pondered and said, "To know a person, you must understand both their surface and their heart. Humans are very complicated; you can only know what a person is really like after experiencing things together and spending time with them..."

Xuan Yu looked at Xu Qing seriously, "Xu Immortal Family is a very smart and powerful person. If Xu Immortal Family were a cat, he would definitely be a ninth-level Spirit Cat."

Xu Qing chuckled, "If Xuan Yu Immortal Family were a human, she would definitely be a clever girl, standing four feet and five inches tall, with long black hair down to her waist..."

"..."

Xuan Yu stared at Xu Qing, feeling that what he said was not quite right for some reason.

...

The second watch of the night at Linhe Wharf.

There were many cargo and merchant ships docked at the docks. Most of the Jinmen Gang members were either holed up in the cabins or shacks onshore, with only a few patrolling or chatting near the wharf.

Linhe Wharf was an important water transportation hub of the Yong Dynasty. The developed canal transportation made every inch of land here precious, which also bred many parasitic pests.

At this time, on the largest Tower Ship, the deputy leader of the Jinmen Gang, Jin Wanshan, was drinking and chatting with several guests.

"Mr. Ling is a high figure of the Celestial Master’s Mansion. We will surely need to rely on you in the future."

A young man dressed as a Daoist said, "I was entrusted by Master Cai to help when necessary. However, the Celestial Master’s Mansion will not labor in vain. You still need to search thoroughly for those yin objects."

"Of course, Mr. Ling, rest assured. As long as a cargo ship carrying yin objects passes the wharf, I will have it intercepted and sent to the Celestial Master’s Mansion by Master Long shortly."

Beside him, Long Engui, wearing a skullcap and a white jacket, was eating the grapes handed to him by Jin Wanshan’s wife.

"Sister-in-law’s grapes are really sweet!"

Jin Wanshan glanced at the profligate eyeing his wife without restraint and laughed, "If Master Long likes them, I’ll have my wife wash more and send them to you later."

"Then I must taste them well!"

As they were talking, a deafening roar suddenly came from outside.

The noise resembled the roar of a lion or tiger, or like a ghost screaming from the top of a mountain of corpses and a sea of blood.

The porcelain teacups and dishes on the table buzzed and trembled, and the next moment, cracks appeared on them, which then exploded and shattered!

Jin Wanshan’s eyes narrowed, and his hand unconsciously grasped his sword.

When the roar subsided, the window of the Tower Ship suddenly shattered, and a Jinmen Gang member with a broken chest and twisted arms fell straight onto the table.

This was not the end. People resembling falling dumplings were thrown into the Tower Ship from the third floor, each one more miserable than the last.

Jin Wanshan stood up, quickly walked to the ship’s wall, and finally saw who was causing the trouble through the tattered wood.

"Who are you? How dare you cause trouble in our Jinmen Gang!"

Glaring at the young man below with a ’relying banner’ stuck into his back, Jin Wanshan didn’t wait for a response before a Martial Master leapt down from the Tower Ship without orders.

Long Engui leaned over to Jin Wanshan, and upon seeing the young man below holding a Black Mace, he couldn’t help but laugh, "What play is this? Why has the general from the theater come to perform here!"

The Daoist Master Ling also came to the big hole in the ship’s wall, standing in line with the other two, as if truly watching a show.

Below at the dock, Xu Qing glanced up at the three on the Tower Ship and then turned his gaze to the Martial Master not far away.

In martial arts, above the Gang Qi Master is the Martial Arts Grandmaster, and Xu Qing had already bested many below the Grandmaster level.

Seeing the enemy assume a Long Fist stance, Xu Qing held his mace steady with his right hand and prepared to face the enemy with his left hand.

Ignoring the penetrating Gang Qi emitted by the opponent’s fist, Xu Qing’s Tiger Seal Dragon Form Fist scattered the Gang Qi completely.

"A technique of the Eight Doors, but alas, only brute force and no subtlety, full of openings."

With his understanding of martial arts rivaling that of a grandmaster, Xu Qing effortlessly blocked two punches before using the same forceful fist to shatter the opponent’s defenses.

"You..."

The Gang Qi Master struggled to get up but collapsed halfway, losing his life entirely.

On the Tower Ship, Jin Wanshan raised an eyebrow and squinted, "An inch longer, an inch stronger. Although you have great fists, I wonder if you can withstand my golden sword!"

But before Jin Wanshan could leap down, a Martial Master holding a spear stepped forward, "No need for Master Jin to act, I will take him down within three moves!"

Below the ship, Xu Qing looked at the spear-wielding Martial Master as if he were an idiot.

No wonder you believe that saying, "An inch longer, an inch stronger."

Clicking his tongue, Xu Qing inserted the Dark Cloud Mace into the Mace Bag behind him, then kicked a bamboo pole used for pushing boats into his hand.

What a coincidence, he knew a little about spear techniques too.

Within two breaths, the spear-wielding Martial Master was staring at Xu Qing as if he had seen a ghost.

"Your spear technique..." freewebnσvel.cѳm

In his life, the Martial Master had never seen a spear without a head that could penetrate Protective Gang Qi!

Xu Qing swiftly pulled out the bamboo pole and tossed it aside, "Golden Guardian, you’re really not going to fight? After all, you’re a Guardian of the Celestial Heart Sect. The life and death of the Jinmen Gang members have nothing to do with you, a Golden Luo, right?"

Xu Qing’s words sent shockwaves through the scene, and all eyes turned to Jin Wanshan.

"Who are you really?"

Xu Qing chuckled, "Jinmen Gang is truly interesting. Outwardly, they are lackeys of the Imperial Court, backed by high officials and cabinet ministers, but secretly, they collude with the rebels of the Celestial Heart Sect. I wonder if the leader knows this."

Xu Qing thought the Celestial Heart Sect had been entirely eradicated from Jinmen, but seeing Jin Wanshan the faction leader, he realized that although the Five Luo Guardians had lost Qing Luo and Bai Luo, they remained dissatisfied and sent another new Protector to handle affairs in Jinmen.

As for how he knew Jin Wanshan was a newly appointed deputy leader...

When Xu Qing fought the first Gang Qi Master, Jin Wanshan did not budge at all. When he fought the spear Martial Master, he deliberately held back to provide a chance to intervene, but Jin Wanshan still made no move.

After thinking it through, Xu Qing understood the underlying situation.

Evidently, Jin Wanshan was not respected as the deputy leader.

"Mr. Ling, do not listen to his nonsense. Please take action and avenge my two brothers..."
