Chapter 54: Stealing My Investor?

Facing Facing Cang Luo introduced Wang Fuhai and the other four to the brothers from the three dormitories.

However, since their side had too many people, and he only knew Zang Feng, Liu Xuande, and Li Zhanxing, while Zhao Renwu had just learned his name, and he couldn't even call out the names of the other twenty-plus brothers, there was no one-by-one introduction.

Wang Fuhai merely perfunctorily clasped his fists in a bow, with no intention of getting to know them deeply.

He was at Warrior Stage 8 cultivation and felt a bit disdainful of knowing a bunch of guys whose cultivation was only between Warrior Stage 3 and 5, so he only spoke a few more words with Zhao Renwu.

At this moment, the spear-pig had been dealt with, skewered on a wooden stick and placed over the fire to roast, while several pots were also set up nearby, boiling water to prepare soup.

The crowd sat on the ground around the fire, each with a jar of fine wine; the aroma was rich, and whoever wanted to eat something would roast it themselves, which in Facing Facing Cang Luo's opinion was much like a buffet.

Facing Facing Cang Luo liked this atmosphere very much, and since his stomach was also hungry, he prepared to take a chicken wing to roast.

Just as Facing Facing Cang Luo had not yet stood up, a youth whose name he couldn't recall suddenly flashed out from the side; he only remembered that the youth was from the Wang Steward's dormitory.

The youth respectfully said, "Senior Brother Cang's arm injury has not yet healed; if Senior Brother wants to eat something, this junior brother will roast it for you."

Since someone was showing off their attentiveness, Facing Facing Cang Luo found it hard to refuse, especially since he had already planned to recruit a few people as underlings.

Thus, Facing Facing Cang Luo said to this uninvited youth, who had a few freckles on his face, "Thank you, junior brother; I wonder how junior brother is addressed?"

The freckled youth picked up the wine pot and respectfully said to Facing Facing Cang Luo, "This junior brother is Gan Lei, at Warrior Stage 4 cultivation, from Ganning Town, Tongzhou."

Ganning Town?

Is Gan Ning a person's name?

Facing Facing Cang Luo was a bit curious; he picked up the wine pot and took a drink with Gan Lei, then asked, "Junior Brother Gan, is Ganning Town named after a person?"

"Indeed!"

Gan Lei offered another drink to Facing Facing Cang Luo, and the expression on his face suddenly became solemn.

He said, "The name Ganning Town is named after the famous general of the Great Chu and the Wu Huang power, Gan Ning, courtesy name Ganying Xingba, from over seventeen hundred years ago.

The Gan surname is the largest surname in our Ganning Town; all people with the Gan surname are descendants of Gan Xingba.

Unfortunately, we are ashamed before our ancestors; now the strongest of the main family of the Gan clan is only at Wu Zun cultivation, and as for us of the branch families, we are even more unworthy..."

Facing Facing Cang Luo was stunned; was this luck too good?

He had encountered another descendant of an ancient celebrity from Earth's Huaxia, and moreover, a famous general from the Three Kingdoms period, which was his favorite.

Gan Ning, the famous general of Sun Wu, courtesy name Gan Xingba, held the office of Xiling Governor and Zhechong General.

Truly a fierce general; he is actually a Wu Huang power in the Yuanwu Continent.

Facing Facing Cang Luo subconsciously glanced at Liu Xuande, who was sitting diagonally opposite, half a body length behind Zang Feng; just then Liu Xuande looked over, so Facing Facing Cang Luo picked up the wine pot and took a drink with him.

Liu Xuande is a descendant of Liu Bei; unfortunately, the Liu Bei of the Yuanwu Continent did not do very well, so that Liu Xuande is now just an ordinary outer sect disciple, and his aptitude is also average.

Tsk tsk tsk! Gan Ning on Earth was initially just a water bandit, and later only a general.

However, Gan Ning in the Yuanwu Continent is a Wu Huang power!

And your ancestor Liu Bei was the Liu Huangshu on Earth! Later, he even founded the Shu Han Empire as an emperor!

But in the Yuanwu Continent, he is just a passerby... I wonder if his cultivation has reached Wu Shi?

Truly a world where martial arts are supreme!

Facing Facing Cang Luo sighed; he knew that in the Yuanwu Continent, a martial artist's martial arts talent could be inherited through bloodline; the higher the martial artist's cultivation, the greater the probability that their descendants would become powerful.

So... as a descendant of a Wu Huang, would Gan Lei definitely have more prospects on the martial path than Liu Xuande?

Thinking of this, Facing Facing Cang Luo decided he must recruit Gan Lei as an underling.

Facing Facing Cang Luo smiled and said, "Junior Brother Gan, in a few days I will enter the Beast Mountain Forest for training; are you willing to form a team and travel with me? I dare not say much else, but I will kill one first-grade beast whenever I see one, and kill a pair whenever I see two."

"Willing, this junior brother is willing!" Gan Lei happily took a large gulp of wine, his face full of joy, and added, "By the way, what did Senior Brother Cang want to eat just now? This junior brother will go get it for you."

With a senior brother of higher cultivation leading the training, how could Gan Ning be unwilling? Moreover, this was also his purpose in approaching Facing Facing Cang Luo.

He originally followed Zhao Renwu's group, but had not completely pledged allegiance.

Upon learning that Facing Facing Cang Luo had ventured alone in the Beast Mountain Forest for over twenty days without dying, without injury, and had even increased his cultivation by four stages.

He was immediately filled with profound admiration, knowing that Facing Facing Cang Luo must have some means or secret, so he decisively came to pledge allegiance.

Facing Facing Cang Luo politely said, "I trouble you, Junior Brother Gan; just get me a chicken wing."

"Alright, Senior Brother Cang, wait a moment." Gan Lei happily stood up to get the ingredients and enthusiastically helped Facing Facing Cang Luo roast it.

While the chicken wing was roasting, four more people came over to get close to Facing Facing Cang Luo, saying they also wanted to form a team with Facing Facing Cang Luo to train in the Beast Mountain Forest.

Facing Facing Cang Luo naturally agreed; the power-building plan was short on people, and as long as their character was fine, he would accept anyone who came.

These four people's cultivation was about the same as Gan Lei's: three were at Warrior Stage 4, and one at Warrior Stage 3; their names were Zhang Yan, Xiao Chengfeng, Xiong Lei, and Ye Jiang.

This time, however, they were not so lucky; none of the four were descendants of any ancient celebrity known to Facing Facing Cang Luo, nor had their ancestors produced any powerful figures; they were just ordinary families coming to the Profound Heaven Gate to seek a good start.

In Facing Facing Cang Luo's view, powerful figures are powerful figures in any world; for example, the super generals of the Three Kingdoms period in Earth's Huaxia would definitely be Wu Di or Wu Huang in the Yuanwu Continent, or even Wu Sheng.

The descendants of these powerful figures would definitely be thriving in the Yuanwu Continent, and there must be super powerful figures in the current generation.

Therefore, how could they appear among the outer sect disciples of a sect? Appear among these disciples of mediocre aptitude?

However, descendants like Gan Lei who did not receive their ancestors' bloodline inheritance also exist; this just happens to benefit Facing Facing Cang Luo, and now there are five people willing to join his team.

Facing Facing Cang Luo knew that these five people were only temporarily pledging allegiance to him; without brotherly loyalty, if he could not bring them benefits, they would switch to others before long.

Only if he could bring them real benefits would they follow him wholeheartedly, and then more people would join.

Step by step, develop and strengthen the team; the greater the power, the greater the strength, and the safer he would be.

Not to mention the distant past, just take Ouyang Lie, the mastermind behind the Chen Dahu brothers; he is at Warrior Stage 9 cultivation and is also the head of a gang; Facing Facing Cang Luo alone cannot defeat him and needs the power of a group.

And where would this group come from?

Right here!

Facing Facing Cang Luo decided that this power-building plan would start with these three dormitories, meaning poaching people, taking Zhao Renwu's people over.

As for Zang Feng's faction, since their numbers are smaller, they will be left alone for now, with the focus on making friends.

Everyone drank wine and ate meat, talking and laughing; what could a group of young men, full of blood and qi, in puberty, talk about?

Nothing but two things: cultivation, and everything related to cultivation.

This person said I would become an emperor, a supreme ruler.

That person said I would become an inner sect disciple within a year, learning high-level cultivation techniques.

Another person said my martial arts have recently reached perfection; shall we spar in a moment?

Second is beauties: the top ten beauties of the outer sect, who is who; the top ten beauties of the inner sect, who is who; whose breasts are the largest, whose legs are the longest, whose skin is the whitest, whose cultivation strength is the strongest...

Facing Facing Cang Luo listened with great interest, his heart fluttering, his mind drifting into fantasies; he couldn't help but think of Xuan Qingqing and Yun Jiao, but immediately cut off those thoughts.

As he listened, Facing Facing Cang Luo suddenly discovered something that annoyed him: that Zhao Renwu had actually taken advantage of the time when he and Gan Lei and others were chatting idly to completely control the atmosphere of the scene, with a group of people surrounding him, listening to him speak.

He was currently talking enthusiastically with Wang Fuhai, chatting very happily, coaxing Wang Fuhai into a beaming smile, even inviting Wang Fuhai and others to go to the Beast Mountain Range for training, and warmly cutting off a spear-pig leg for Wang Fuhai.

Only one hind leg remained!

Damn! Is he stealing my investor? And using my spear-pig to offer a gift to others?

Facing Facing Cang Luo could not endure it; he immediately took the wine jug, stepped forward, and said, "Brother Wang, Senior Brother Zhao, if you go to the Beast Mountain Range for training, do not forget your junior brother!"

Wang Fuhai smiled and said, "Easy, easy; how could I forget Junior Brother Cang? Just follow me, your senior brother. Although I am not wealthy, I do have some supplies like weapons and pills."

Saying this, he drank a mouthful of wine with Facing Facing Cang Luo, then tore off a large piece of meat from the spear-pig leg with big bites, eating until oil dripped from his mouth, his face full of happiness.

Zhao Renwu also lifted his jug and drank a mouthful of wine, his gaze casually glancing at Gan Lei and others behind Facing Facing Cang Luo; a cold sneer rose in his heart, but on his face he smiled and said, "Going to the Beast Mountain Range would certainly not be complete without Senior Brother Cang.

Senior Brother Cang is the one with the highest cultivation among our three dormitories, possesses immense combat power, and has rich life experience; he can be said to be our big brother.

We hope big brother can teach us more experience in hunting beasts..."

After speaking, he lifted his jug to toast Facing Facing Cang Luo; Facing Facing Cang Luo squinted and raised his wine jug to return the toast, but the face beneath the jug suddenly turned dark.

Damn! This fellow Zhao Renwu is openly praising me, but secretly mocking my age; does he think I cannot tell?

A mere sixteen-year-old Gao Zhongsheng dares to play tricks in front of me?

I will definitely poach your people!

At this moment, Wang Fuhai took a hearty swig of wine, tore off another large chunk of spear-pig meat, and suddenly squinted, saying, "Guess who I saw on the way here just now?"

"Who?"

"Could it be the top ten beauties of the outer sect?"

Wang Fuhai shook his head and said, "No; how could beauties be as delicious as spear-pig?"

After making a joke, he continued, "Just now, on our way back after buying things from Profound Heaven Town, we saw people from the Confucius Holy Academy, and there were quite a few of them, more than thirty, both men and women..."
