Immortal Dynasty Hounds

Chapter 42 The Talent Shines Again After the Refractory Period Ends
"Young Master Xin, to be honest, I was also set up."

On the way to the Thorn Gang, Huang Jingji told Lian Shanxin about his experience.

"Originally, I also planned to be with my wife for life."

Lian Shanxin interrupted Huang Jingji's self-praise: "Say 'but'."

"But these scions of noble families have so many tricks up their sleeves, they've even targeted my weaknesses. I'm a man too, what man isn't lustful? Kong Sanlang actually used his beauty to seduce me, who could resist that?"

Lian Shanxin smiled slightly: "I can handle it."

Huang Jingji expressed his doubts, but he dared not say anything.

Lian Shanxin was too lazy to explain.

Just now, a princess from a celestial dynasty, who was also naturally alluring, offered herself to him, but he killed her with a swift stroke of his sword.

He absolutely has the right to despise Huang Jingji, a scumbag who can't control his own lust.

"In short, the land of gentle pleasures is a hero's grave, and that's how I was taken in."

Lian Shanxin ignored Huang Jingji's boasting of being a hero and realized the crux of the matter: "Why did Kong Sanlang take the initiative to target you? What does he want from you or Jingji's gang?"

Huang Jingji told the truth: "It should be because of my status as a disciple of the Golden Scale Alliance. He started plotting against me after I joined the Golden Scale Alliance."

"The Golden Scale Alliance... I've heard that the Golden Scale Alliance spans both the legitimate and criminal worlds, and is also related to powerful families?" Lian Shanxin said thoughtfully.

Huang Jingji revealed an inside story to Lian Shanxin: "Young Master Xin, I went to the headquarters of the Golden Scale Alliance once and met many young masters from aristocratic families there."

"what?"

This is information that Lianshan Xin is unaware of.

“Furthermore, our Golden Scale Alliance is not only developing in Jiangzhou, but has also expanded its territory to other states. The Alliance Leader… seems to have great ambitions,” Huang Jingji said in a low voice.

Lian Shanxin looked at Huang Jingji with surprise again: "You just sold out the Golden Scale Alliance like that?"

Huang Jingji explained, "It's not a secret at 'Nine Heavens,' Young Master Xin can find out if he wants to, and besides..."

Huang Jingji hesitated for a moment, but still expressed his concerns: "I feel that the Alliance Leader's plans for the Golden Scale Alliance are... a bit too bold."

Although it is said that one must advance or fall behind, the Golden Scale Alliance has not yet reached the top of the martial arts world in Jiangzhou, but it has already begun to expand its business to other states.

"In the eyes of petty people, Jiangzhou is already very large. But in the eyes of the alliance leader and those elders, Jiangzhou seems very small."

Huang Jingji felt that she was losing control of the situation.

Lian Shanxin also realized that something was wrong.

There are many gangs in the martial arts world, but very few that span multiple states and counties.

It's not surprising for a gang to grow big in its own territory, after all, it has the support of fellow townsmen, the advantage of the location, and the support of the people.

But if it can still grow big outside of the state, it's already a "multinational corporation" like the one in Dayu.

Lianshanxin is well aware of the immense power of "multinational corporations."

Ordinary local governments are nothing compared to these large gangs; they even have to rely on them for investment.

“Without the support of a Grandmaster, ordinary gangs can’t even leave a single state. The Golden Scale Alliance has produced a Grandmaster.” Lian Shanxin pondered.

Huang Jingji nodded silently: "That's what I guessed too."

However, having only one Grandmaster's support does not guarantee the formation of an interstate gang.

It's incredibly difficult for a foreign power to invade the territory of a local strongman.

"Even with the support of a Grandmaster, bloodshed is still inevitable. Without a fight, one can never gain a foothold. Moreover, while one faction within the alliance is plotting against another's territory, others will also be plotting against the alliance itself. I suspect that Kong Sanlang may be targeting the alliance. After all, I have received great favors from the Golden Scale Alliance, and of course I do not wish to betray my master for personal gain."

"So you invited me to the Thorn Gang headquarters this time because you wanted to use my name to persuade your wife?"

"Yes, please lend a hand, young master. I only want the child. As for that woman from the other house... if Madam is really unhappy, then let her be."

Huang Jingji's words were very ruthless.

However, Lian Shanxin did not accuse Huang Jingji.

That's not what he cares about.

"You want to sever ties with the Kong family?" "Yes."

"It seems that the Kong family has really been implicated by the Demonic Sect this time."

Lian Shan believed that Huang Jingji did not want to be a slave to three masters, so he jumped ship directly to the Kong family.

The only reason for this was the news that the deputy headmaster of Bailudong Academy was "Thousand Faces," one of the four elders of the Demonic Cult, and that Kong Ningyuan had become his disciple at the academy, which clearly made the Kong family suspected of "colluding with the demons."

At this point, it was only natural to distance oneself from the Kong family.

Even the Demonic Sect is afraid of being targeted by "Nine Heavens," let alone other small fry.

"Is Kong Ningyuan in a bad position within the Kong family?" Lian Shanxin suddenly asked.

Huang Jingji shook his head and said, "Young Master Xin is overthinking it. Kong Liulang is quick to catch up and has already surpassed his peers in the Kong family by a large margin. Even though he is currently under suspicion, it is no secret that he is on good terms with you. As far as I know, Kong Liulang has reconciled with his father and his status in the Kong family remains the same as before."

Lian Shanxin nodded slightly.

That's good.

Kong Ningyuan and he had known each other for more than a year, and Lian Shanxin still hoped that Kong Ningyuan would have a bright future.

"arrive."

Huang Jingji stopped in her tracks.

They have arrived at the Thorn Gang headquarters.

"I hope you will put in a good word for me later, young master."

After a while.

Lian Shanxin saw a man and a woman who came out to greet him.

The man was imposing and strong; even his loose clothes couldn't hide his explosive muscles.

However, Huang Jingji explained that this was Wei Rong, the strategist of the Jingji Gang.

Lian Shanxin thought about it and agreed.

How can someone who can't fight be a strategist?
The woman was Luo Panlan, Huang Jingji's first wife. She was petite but quite charming.

"Do not look at what is improper," and Lian Shanxin did not look at it for long.

Luo Panlan and Wei Rong took the initiative to greet Lian Shanxin.

No need for further polite greetings.

Before long, Huang Jingji led Lian Shanxin to the main hall and they sat down before getting down to business.

Huang Jingji grasped Luo Panlan's hand tightly and said earnestly, "Madam, I have something to tell you."

"Just tell me, why are you being so serious?"

Huang Jingji became even more solemn: "Madam, as you know, my Huang family is a single-lineage family. Before my father died, he specifically instructed me to ensure that the Huang family has many branches and to continue the family line. But I have deep feelings for you, so I have never had any other thoughts. However, although I have kept myself pure, there are villains outside who have wolves in sheep's clothing and have deliberately plotted to frame me."

Huang Jingji recounted how Kong Sanlang had used a honey trap on him, then said with deep emotion, "That woman said if I don't make her my official wife, she'll tell you everything. Madam, I hope you can hear it from me, not from her. Madam, can you forgive me?"

Lian Shanxin wasn't interested in the melodramatic family dramas of Huang Jingji's family, and because of the principle of not looking at what is improper, he didn't carefully observe Luo Panlan's reaction.

Seeing Wei Rong looking at him curiously, Lian Shanxin nodded in acknowledgment.

When Lian Shanxin met Wei Rong's gaze, he suddenly felt that his talent's refractory period was over.

Through Wei Rong, he saw a small theater once again:

Luo Panlan and Wei Rong were talking in the room.

Wei Rong sat down, while Luo Panlan paced back and forth in the room, looking anxious.

"What should I do? That woman gave birth to Huang Jingji's son, and Huang Jingji is coming to confront me."

Wei Rong was also somewhat worried: "Huang Jingji dreams of having a son, this is really troublesome."

Luo Panlan stamped her foot: "The trouble isn't that, the trouble is that Huang Jingji doesn't know that the cultivation technique my father gave him automatically sterilizes him. But how can I tell him this? I also gave birth to two daughters for him."
