Chapter 15: I Want 30% of Your Escort Agency's Revenue
"Who's there?"
The three members of the Lin Family and the three from Songfeng Temple all looked up.
They saw a handsome young man sitting on a tree branch not far away, looking over with great interest.
His posture was lazy, and there was no fear in his eyes; it seemed he did not take the people below seriously at all.
This person was none other than Lu Li.
"Who are you? How dare you speak so wildly and obstruct the business of our Songfeng Temple?"
Jia Renda held his long sword, pointing it directly at Lu Li.
Yu Renhao, standing to the side, frowned.
He was startled; he had been so busy dealing with Lin Zhennan that he hadn't noticed anyone else nearby.
Listening to this person's words, it was clear he had already seen that Songfeng Temple intended to wipe out the Fuwei Escort Agency, yet he still dared to speak like this, clearly relying on something.
As one of the Qingcheng Four Elites, Yu Renhao relied not only on his martial prowess but also on his ruthless methods.
Now, facing Lu Li, he had already made a decision in his heart.
Regardless of Lu Li's attitude later, Yu Renhao decided to kill him and leave no survivors!
After all, what Songfeng Temple was doing this time was not honorable, and they could not leave behind any evidence.
"Junior brother, do not be rude."
Yu Renhao waved his hand, stopping the insults Jia Renda was about to spout, and cupped his hands toward Lu Li: "Brother, there must be some misunderstanding here. Could you come down and talk?"
His words were gentle, intending to lure Lu Li down and kill him when he was off guard.
However, Lu Li completely ignored the questions from Yu Renhao and the others.
"How about it, Lin Zhennan, do you agree or not?"
"As long as you agree, I will immediately take care of these three fellows from Songfeng Temple."
Lu Li looked at Lin Zhennan with a smile.
Lin Zhennan was deeply shocked.
To say he believed Lu Li could defeat the three people before him—he did not believe it.
But at this moment, he had no other choice.
This was his only hope for survival!
Never mind thirty percent of the escort agency's profits; even if he gave it all away, it wouldn't be as important as his family's lives!
This was the last straw he could grasp.
"I'll give it!
I'll give it."
Lin Zhennan gritted his teeth and said: "As long as you are willing to help, young hero, I am willing to offer up the entire Lin Family fortune."
"Oh? Take care of us? You certainly have a big mouth."
Yu Renhao could no longer suppress the anger rising in his heart; he was too lazy to pretend anymore, and killing intent surged from his body, making him look as ferocious as a wild beast.
Lu Li reached out and pushed off, landing lightly from the tree; his feet touched the ground without kicking up a speck of dust.
"Why wouldn't I be able to take care of a few pieces of trash like you?"
"If your master Yu Canghai were here, perhaps he could trade a few blows with me."
As he spoke, Lu Li walked toward the three of them.
"You're courting death."
Upon hearing this, Yu Renhao and the others changed color, their killing intent becoming palpable as they locked onto Lu Li.
In the pugilistic world, few could tolerate insults to their sect.
Moreover, Yu Canghai was a Master of a sect and had quite a reputation in the pugilistic world.
Even the local officials had to give Yu Canghai full face when they saw him.
Those in the pugilistic world who dared to claim they could surpass Yu Canghai were mostly famous figures like Zuo Lengchan, and they could be counted on one's fingers.
Those people were renowned experts of the pugilistic world, and they certainly did not include the young man before them!
This brat actually dared to insult their sect like this; he was simply tired of living.
"Sever his hand and foot tendons, then tie him to a rock and throw him into the deep mountains to feed the wild beasts."
Yu Renhao said.
After speaking, Fang Renzhi and Jia Renda had already surrounded him from both sides, and Yu Renhao himself drew his long sword to strike personally.
The three formed a pincer formation, surrounding Lu Li, and attacked with their swords simultaneously!
Sword light erupted, and at the same time, a gust of wind blew through the forest, accompanying the sword light as if a gale were sweeping through a pine forest.
As strong as the pine,
As swift as the wind.
Both rigid strength and agility were present.
Lu Li saw the subtlety of this sword technique at a glance; he could only say that the heritage of the Qingcheng Songfeng Temple still had some merit, no wonder Yu Renhao was so arrogant.
The next moment.
Lu Li seemed to ignore the sword wind of the pine forest; he lightly tapped his long sword on the ground, and the scabbard sank into the earth.
A sound was heard slowly, and the long sword left its sheath.
The sword light lasted only an instant.
When the sword light dissipated, the wind in the pine forest stopped.
True sword technique is never measured by sword moves.
And those who have cultivated sword technique to the extreme are also beautiful when they draw their swords.
A sword strike that was like a work of art.
In his heart, Yu Renhao only felt that this sword strike was beautiful, the kind of beauty that was very dangerous!
Beautiful things often only last for an instant.
And for Lu Li, there was no need at all to strike a second time.
The blinding sword light vanished in a flash, and the long sword was already sheathed.
As if he had never drawn his sword, Lu Li gripped the hilt again, and together with the scabbard, walked toward Lin Zhennan.
As for Yu Renhao and the other two, they remained frozen on the spot, still maintaining their sword-wielding postures, motionless.
The scene was silent as the grave.
The Lin Zhennan family had not seen Lu Li's sword technique clearly at all; they had not even reacted yet, and the battle was already over.
Won, he won? Lin Zhennan's heart shook violently; he still dared not confirm the outcome of the battle.
Suddenly, a low gasp issued from the throats of Yu Renhao and the other two.
Following closely.
A spray of fresh blood erupted violently.
The three of them withered to the ground, already devoid of breath!
The remaining three, Lin Zhennan and his family, stared at the dead Yu Renhao with mouths agape, completely stunned.
Lin Zhennan's mouth hung open, unable to close, his eyes wide and round, and he said tremblingly: "Young hero, with one sword, one sword you killed three disciples of Songfeng Temple."
Simply a miraculous skill!
Compared to his own escort agency people being pressed so hard by Yu Renhao that they couldn't lift their heads, Lu Li's martial arts were like those of an immortal.
What's more, those were the disciples of Yu Canghai!
Yet Lu Li had killed them without the slightest hesitation; this courage, this boldness, made Lin Zhennan secretly shocked.
He thought to himself, Yu Canghai would definitely look for trouble with this young man.
He offended Yu Canghai for the sake of my family, I cannot sit idly by.
When I return, I will have my wife contact the Wang Family of the Golden Blade to protect this young man!
Lu Li walked to the front of the three, unsealed their acupoints, and loosened the ropes.
"Alright, the matter is already resolved.
Head Escort Lin, it is time for you to fulfill your promise."
Lu Li said indifferently.
"Promise?"
Lin Zhennan slapped his forehead, not expecting that this young man actually wanted his family property.
He gritted his teeth and said: "Good!
The grace of the young hero saving my life will never be forgotten; please come home with me, and we shall write the contract now."
Not to mention that there was a prior agreement, and he had promised to give Lu Li his family property, only then did Lu Li take action to save them.
Just the fact that Lu Li was such an expert was not something that could be befriended with thirty percent of his family property.
Let alone thirty percent of the revenue, even adding another thirty percent would be worth it!
Moreover, if he dared not to agree, Lu Li could wipe out the Lin Family in the blink of an eye!
... Fuzhou City, Fuwei Escort Agency.
"Is the young hero the Jade-Faced Asura of the Huashan Sect, Young Hero Lu?"
Lin Zhennan exclaimed in surprise, not expecting that Lu Li was actually a disciple of the Huashan Sect.
One must know, for his Fuwei Escort Agency, the Huashan Sect was a top-tier martial arts sect that was completely untouchable!
Lu Li nodded and said: "Correct."
He had already made his identity clear to Lin Zhennan.
"This thirty percent of the revenue does not need to be given to me, but turned over to Huashan."
"Head Escort Lin can rest assured, this escort agency is still yours, and my Huashan will not interfere too much in the management of the escort agency."
"Using my, Lu Li's, reputation to sit in the background, collecting thirty percent of your revenue, is there a problem?"
Lu Li sipped his tea, his gaze like lightning as he looked at Lin Zhennan.
"No problem."
Lin Zhennan's throat moved slightly, his heart filled with wild joy.
With the Huashan Sect sitting in the background, the Fuwei Escort Agency would only become more prosperous!
This could be called a blessing in disguise!
Lady Lin and Lin Pingzhi, who were sitting to the side, were also happy in their hearts, especially Lin Pingzhi, whose eyes were filled with admiration as he looked at Lu Li.
"Besides this, I also have some interest in the real Evil-Warding Sword Manual; may I borrow it to take a look?"
As soon as these words were spoken, Lin Zhennan's face turned deathly pale.
