Who Let Him Cultivate?! (WX)-Chapter 56: An Underling Must Strictly Follow Their Boss’ Orders

That was the truth. The Barbarian Tribe’s primary cooking method was barbeque.

Man Gu’s eyes were ablaze with a fervent fighting spirit.

Lu Yang didn't know what to say. Why must your fighting spirit be ablaze here? We’re here to infiltrate the diabolic creed, not open chain stores for your family!

He sighed. Since Man Gu was unwilling to lower the quality, they could only raise the price.

“Dear guests, what wine would you like?”

The two jianghu heroes were open-minded people and shouted unrestrainedly, “The stronger the better! I’m known in the jianghu as the one who never gets drunk even after a thousand cups!”

The other person also yelled, “And I’m known in the jianghu as the one who never gets drunk after ten thousand cups!”

Lu Yang thought to himself, Stop boasting, the two of you. Are you sure you can handle it if I serve you two bottles of pure alcohol?

In the end, Lu Yang served them two bottles of Laobaigan Liquor,[1] hoping that their alcohol tolerance was really as good as they had bragged.

Standing at the entrance to take care of the customers, Lu Yang hollered, “Please take a queue number and don’t cut the queue. We have prepared complimentary tea and snacks for everyone. We seek your kind patience. A table will free up soon!

“Also, there are no discounts even if you bring in new customers; stop bringing in new people!”

Although Lu Yang wasn’t sure if it would be effective, he decided to shout a few times first. We musn’t open a chain store.

The people lining up were restless and bombarded him with questions.

“Can we reserve a table in advance?”

“Do you offer doorstep delivery?”

“Can we book the whole venue?”

Apart from heroes, there were also cultivators, and they were swimming in money.

“Reservations are possible.

“If it’s not too far away, we can do doorstep delivery, but there’ll be an additional service fee.

“There’s no problem with booking the whole venue.”

Lu Yang wished someone would just book the place so that he could have some peace.

“Attention, everyone! Qin Yuanhao has left his estate.” Lu Yang and Man Gu received Meng Jingzhou’s auditory message at the same time. The former felt a surprising sense of relief.

“I’ll go follow him; you come down and switch with me. And Man Gu, keep an eye on him and don’t let him cause a mess.”

As Lu Yang had grasped two spells, Shrinking Earth and To Inches, he had an overwhelming advantage in battle and tailing people. Since he couldn’t just dive into the soil in public, he went to the backyard where there were two tiger-henchman ghosts busy with barbeque, their heads covered in sweat from exhaustion. They wished they could grow eight more arms to work. Their movements were so rapid that they almost seemed to blur.

They probably haven’t experienced such fulfilling and busy lives when they were alive.

In addition, the tiger-henchman ghosts were wearing clothes of traveling merchants from when they were alive. To prevent drunk drinkers from running to the backyard and accidentally noticing something wrong with the tiger-henchman ghosts’ clothes, the trio had spent half a day studying how they could change the tiger-henchman ghosts’ clothes—from getting a Daoist to hold a ritual and getting monks to chant scriptures to browsing through ancient books and verifying legends. By the time they neared the end, the two tiger-henchman ghosts had become more transparent.

Fortunately, Lu Yang found the simplest solution—burn the clothes for the tiger-henchman ghosts.[2]

As the two tiger-henchman ghosts were engrossed with work, they didn’t even notice that Lu Yang had come. The latter successfully sank into the ground, and he gingerly tailed Qin Yuanhao.

After Meng Jingzhou quickly changed his clothes to take over for Lu Yang, he served some lamb skewers. “Lamb skewers are ready; do enjoy, dear guest.

“When it comes to these lamb skewers, they have quite the story. Please hear me out slowly. There was this one day when golden light radiated in the northern grassland. A baby was born...”

~~~

When Qin Yuanhao walked in the dark, his figure seemed to almost blend in with the night. Even the passers-by didn’t notice his presence.

“A technique related to shadows or related to darkness?” Lu Yang observed secretly as he tried his best to collect information.

For the purpose of creating his own techniques, he read extensively and gained some knowledge of the manifold types of techniques.

Lu Yang continued to follow Qin Yuanhao. The latter stepped onto a muddy lane and arrived at the winding small alley. Despite hiding underground, Lu Yang could still smell the stench.

Hearing Qin Yuanhao’s hastening footsteps, Lu Yang could deduce that the other party was in a foul mood.

Qin Yuanhao furrowed his brow, not liking such a place. With his face darkened as he kicked open a room’s door, he startled his underlings who were deep asleep.

“You still have the mood to sleep?!”

The underlings hurriedly got up and trembled, not understanding why their boss had flown into a rage. We have worked hard and never dared to slack off. After being busy the whole day, is it wrong to sleep at night?!

On the contrary, Boss doesn’t sleep at night and doesn’t wake up in the morning. Compared to our boss, our schedules are much too regular.

Qin Yuanhao kicked the underling to the wall, questioning with wrath. “Why has no one reported to me these few days? What about the people I told you to look for?!”

The underling felt as if a hammer had just smashed his heart, and he said in an aggrieved manner, “Boss, you said that we can only return when we find the people.

“We couldn’t find the people you mentioned and didn’t dare to go look for you. Why are we also wrong for listening to your orders?”

The underling felt wronged. As an underling, I do whatever my Big Brother says, yet he’s not even satisfied with this; he’s so hard to please.

Qin Yuanhao fell silent. He actually thought that the underling made a good point.

But I just want to hit him; what should I do?

“If you’re not coming to see me, don’t you know how to write a letter?”

“But you said that important matters have to be reported in person.”

Qin Yuanhao flared up. “Didn’t I say that special situations call for special measures?!”

“You did say that special situations call for special measures, but you also mentioned that whether something constitutes a special situation requires us to discuss it internally before you make the final decision.”

“So did you discuss?”

“We’ve discussed it two days ago. We unanimously agree that it’s a special situation this time around and that it will need your judgment and decision.”

“Then why don’t I see all of you letting me decide?!”

“You said that important matters must be reported in person. Since we still couldn’t find the person who started the rumor, we couldn’t go meet you.”

Qin Yuanhao was at a loss of words.

Am I going to die from this never-ending spiral today?

He took in two deep mouthfuls of air, then repeatedly warned himself not to kill anyone. This group of underlings may be inflexible, but they’re loyal to me and carry out all my orders strictly without the slightest deviation.

Killing the underlings would cause others to become disillusioned. Besides, I don’t have many trustworthy subordinates to begin with. If I kill more, there’ll be none left.

“What exactly is the progress with searching for that person? Even if you can't find them, you should at the very least have some clues, right?” Qin Yuanhao stared at the underling. If you dare to say that no clues have been found, you can forget about staying alive today!

Do you really think I don’t dare to kill people?!

The underling muttered softly, “No.” Sensing his boss’ gaze filled with killing intent, he quickly added, “Big Brother, you also know how special the people you’re looking for are. As long as they had revealed their faces in public, they would have attracted attention. However, four days have passed, and our brothers can’t find anything even after running until their feet have grown blisters.

“Putting everything else aside, just based on the traits of being eight feet tall and eight feet wide, we’ve inquired all around and only found one who meets the conditions. However, they either have no pockmarks, don’t eat children, or have a rather pleasant appearance.”

“Who is it?” Qin Yuanhao thought to himself, Let’s not care about whether the appearances are similar. Just like how we slaughter a chicken to scare the monkey, we kill someone with a similar figure first to scare the rest as a warning so that we won’t accidentally be underestimated by people in the shadows.

“It’s the mascot that sells tofu on Qianmen Street.”

“I’m so going to slaughter you!”
