"Brother Long, I want to follow you to do big things." Seeing that Long Xiangtian had been sitting there looking at him without any expression, Cui Chen took the initiative to speak.
Long Xiangtian smiled and couldn't help thinking in his heart: I haven't thought about doing anything big myself, how can I lead you to do something big
Speaking of which, Long Xiangtian's motivation for practicing was not to do something earth-shattering. He practiced for his own selfish desires. Long Xiangtian's biggest motivation for practicing now was to find his mother and Qingwu, and then take Yunniang with him to protect them.
But even such a small wish is not something that Long Xiangtian can achieve now. Even if he is the top freshman, even if he is seventeen years old and has just entered the Profound Realm, he is still not qualified.
However, this is not the time to worry about these things. Long Xiangtian's arrogance makes him believe that one day he will have the qualifications to look down on his peers.
"What can you do for me?" Although Long Xiangtian wanted to keep Cui Chen, if Cui Chen could not bring any value to him, he could only send him back.
Cui Chen knew that it was time to show his determination, so he stood still and said to Long Xiangtian without hesitation: "Brother Long, I know I am stupid and have no cultivation, but I am willing to learn and I am willing to fight for my life. Brother Long, you saved the lives of our entire village, and from now on my life belongs to you."
Long Xiangtian looked at Cui Chen's unwavering eyes, lowered his head and thought for a while. Although Cui Chen's strength was very low, he had a rare heart, which was loyalty.
With Long Xiangtian's strength, it is impossible for Cui Chen to lie in front of Long Xiangtian, so since Cui Chen said so, and Long Xiangtian couldn't see anything unusual, it only means that if he asked him to die now, he would go.
What Long Xiangtian is facing next is not just a certain person, but also a lot of forces, so he really needs to cultivate a group of people who can be loyal to him.
Although those bandit leaders are loyal, they are controlled by "desire" after all, which is not a long-term solution. However, the loyalty of Cui Chen is what Long Xiangtian needs very much now.
“You stay in Hua Pavilion for a while. I will find a way to let you practice in a few days. But how far you can reach after that depends on yourself.” Long Xiangtian thought of keeping Cui Chen, but he still needed to consider further about what Cui Chen could do.
"Thank you, Brother Long." When he heard that Long Xiangtian not only kept him but also gave him the opportunity to practice, he was naturally grateful.
Afterwards, Long Xiangtian asked Cui Chen about Cui Li and the others. He felt relieved when he learned that Cui Li and the others had returned safely and the small village had returned to its peaceful state.
Long Xiangtian also knew that Liu Feng was waiting for him outside, so he sent him out without saying much to Cui Chen.
Not long after Cui Chen went out, a middle-aged man dressed in silk and with a greasy face walked in. It was probably Liu Feng.
It seems that Liu Feng had a really good life as the butler of the Wang family, otherwise he would not have changed from a ragged horse thief to what he is now.
Although Liu Feng is doing quite well now with his cleverness and has gained some status, he still has a deep fear of Long Xiangtian.
Although his identity is different now, and he even hooks up with Miss Wang, he is still the same timid and cautious horse thief at heart.
In his opinion, Long Xiangtian was a mysterious man who even his own boss had to obey him obediently. He also heard that the mysterious man controlled all the horse thieves, big and small, within a radius of dozens of miles in Jiutian City. Naturally, he did not dare to play smart in front of Long Xiangtian.
"This is for you." Long Xiangtian wanted to meet Liu Feng before because he wanted to reward him something, so he directly threw a mid-grade Xuan-level pill to Liu Feng. Long Xiangtian had plenty of pills of this level and didn't care.
But for Liu Feng, the Xuan-level mid-grade elixir is a very good treasure. Although Liu Feng has borrowed some of the Wang family's cultivation resources, he is only at the peak of the Qi Refining Realm, and there is still a long way to go before he can break through the Guanli Realm.
But now that he has this mid-grade Xuan-level elixir, things are different. As long as he takes it, he might have a chance to break through his cultivation and reach the Guanli realm.
Of course, Liu Feng thought it was simpler. The leader of their bandit group was only at the fourth level of Guanli Realm. For him, being at the Guanli Realm meant he could have a say in the entire bandit group, so his status was naturally noble.
Liu Feng had been in the horse bandit gang for five or six years without receiving any rewards. Now, as soon as they met Long Xiangtian, he gave him such a precious elixir. How could he not be grateful
"Thank you, Boss." Liu Feng didn't know how to address Long Xiangtian, but he thought that since his boss listened to Long Xiangtian, there should be no problem in addressing Long Xiangtian like that.
When Long Xiangtian heard Liu Feng calling him that, he didn't know whether to laugh or cry. However, Long Xiangtian didn't know what else Liu Feng should call him, so he just went with it.
"These are just little things. As long as you are loyal to me, there will be plenty of rewards in the future." Long Xiangtian deliberately put on an attitude of keeping strangers away and painted a big pie for Liu Feng in order to stimulate Liu Feng.
"Yes, sir." When Liu Feng heard that even the middle-grade Xuan-level elixirs were small things, his eyes instantly filled with heat and desire.
"By the way, you'd better control your bad habits. If you really like Miss Wang, treat her well."
Long Xiangtian knew that Liu Feng had a special relationship with Miss Wang, but since Wang She was his friend, Miss Wang was probably Wang She's sister or something like that, and he didn't want his men to ruin her reputation.
Liu Feng didn't expect Long Xiangtian to mention this matter again, and was stunned, but he immediately agreed. At this time, Liu Feng thought that Long Xiangtian had some relationship with Miss Wang, and then he broke out in a cold sweat. He was also glad that he didn't have any substantial relationship with her, otherwise, let alone the reward, he might even lose his life.
At this moment, Liu Feng immediately planned to keep Miss Wang well after he returned, so as to avoid making Long Xiangtian unhappy.
Seeing Liu Feng's nervous look, Long Xiangtian knew that he had misunderstood, but he didn't care. Instead, he changed the subject: "How is the investigation going on with the unusual movements between the Wang and Zhang families that you mentioned before?"
Liu Feng scratched his head awkwardly when he heard Long Xiangtian talking about this matter: "Boss, this matter is not my fault. Miss Wang doesn't know what happened specifically, and my identity and qualifications are not enough to know more, so..."
