49: Chapter 51: Ancient Boss 49: Chapter 51: Ancient Boss Facing such a person as Third Master, who stood atop the pyramid, Li Xiaoqiang felt even more powerless.
With just a word, the other could determine the will of an entire district’s people, while Li Xiaoqiang faced imnse difficulty even to have a al.
Against such a person, any grand sentints or hot-bloodedness seed childish, not even worth ntioning.
Now Li Xiaoqiang feared the other party might harm his family.
Although the spore was by his side, soone like Third Master wasn’t a fool.
Why would he directly confront you?
A bird.
A gun, a bullet, was enough to end the life of any heroic divine being.
Seeing Li Xiaoqiang’s tense expression, the spore knew that the person before them was no easy target.
He walked in front of the two, still looking as simple and foolish as ever, “I’ll be in front, you protect grandpa and retreat.”
Li Xiaoqiang took a deep breath and said, “Here, they probably wouldn’t dare to make a move, but I’m afraid that once we leave the train station, the situation will turn dire.”
While Li Xiaoqiang was speaking, Third Master and his entourage were already walking towards the trio.
When Third Master arrived about twenty ters away from the spore, he clasped his hands together and said, “Mr.
Li, I heard that you were coming out of retirent, so I ca to welco you.”
“What?” Li Xiaoqiang’s heart trembled at these words.
He was baffled by Third Master’s words.
At this mont, Li Xiaoqiang turned to look at his grandfather, Li Guo’an, who was smiling at Third Master.
Li Guo’an took a deep breath and said, “I didn’t expect it, after so many decades, you’ve beco such an influential figure.
My grandson has been injured, so I had no choice but to co out of retirent.
If I didn’t, and my grandson was wronged, even lying in my coffin, I wouldn’t be able to close my eyes.”
Third Master, upon hearing this, showed a respectful look, “Elder, we put Li Xiaoqiang through difficulties to test his ttle, no other intentions.
We would dare offend anyone but not you.”
“Heh heh,” Li Guo’an chuckled twice, “It seems you youngsters still show so respect for this old bag of bones.”
At that mont, Li Guo’an looked at Li Xiaoqiang and the spore, “Little calf, Little Pi, don’t be so tense, they won’t do anything to .”
Only after hearing Li Guo’an’s words did the two of them relax a bit.
At that mont, five people stepped forward from beside Third Master, amongst them two won and three n, similar in age to Third Master, all around fifty years old.
The five stood in front of Li Guo’an, knelt to the ground, and said respectfully, “Master, you have finally agreed to co out of retirent.”
After saying these words, tears rolled down their faces.
The bent bodies of the five, were akin to worshiping the Buddha, their devotion apparent, without a hint of insincerity.
To these five, Li Guo’an was a deity from an ancient era.
During that ti, Li Guo’an was soone whose every action could shake the world.
His sudden withdrawal not only created opportunities for various heroes to rise to power.
At the sa ti, it also brought trendous pressure upon these five.
The five were Li Guo’an’s closed-door disciples.
Once Li Guo’an retired, the five were thrust into the lilight.
Back then, they experienced what it was like to fight bloody battles and to be covered in wounds.
Only then did they realize how powerful the gentle middle-aged man was.
Several tis the five nearly died in this murderous underworld, but Li Guo’an always had a contingency plan for them.
Each ti they fell into the Hall of Yama, Li Guo’an pulled them back.
How incredible was the power of one hidden in the mountains, yet still able to control the underworld?
Such might was enough to astonish anyone!
As the five gradually beca fully fledged, and no longer needed the old man to worry about them, only then did he truly let go.
Now, all five were influential figures in their own right, but to them, this old man was not only their master but also a father-like figure in their hearts.
Li Guo’an had bestowed upon them a second chance at life!
Sitting in his wheelchair, Li Guo’an smiled contentedly, “You five were all beggars I picked up from the roadside.
It’s your own hard work that got you where you are today.
As your master, I’m rely a guide.”
At this point, Li Guo’an took a deep breath and said, “Big kid, when I picked you up, you were the oldest, nine years old, I believe.
Stand up and let your master see what you’ve grown into.”
At this mont, an old man in his fifties, standing on the far left, got up.
He was a tall, burly elder with a face covered in stubble and a large swath of white hair on his head, exuding a pure and warm aura, as if he were a philanthropist.
His na was Zuo Ming, and he was Li Guo’an’s eldest disciple!
Li Guo’an appraised Zuo Ming for a while, then chuckled and nodded, “Hehe, big guy, you’ve grown old.
Ti spares no one!”
Li Guo’an fixed his gaze on the second disciple, a cripple with only one leg, kneeling on the ground, and took a deep breath, “Second, you were five when I picked you up, weren’t you?
Stand up and let your master take a good look at you.”
The old man Li Guo’an referred to as “second” stood up.
His face was cold as ice, devoid of any warmth, with a frail figure like a venomous snake waiting for the chance to strike.
His na was Tian Que, a na personally bestowed by Li Guo’an!
Li Guo’an gave a slight nod, “All grown old, huh!”
Li Guo’an turned his attention to two identical won in their fifties, both radiating an aura of upscale sophistication, clearly stemming from a long-held position of authority.
Li Guo’an nodded and said, “Eldest daughter, youngest, you two stand up as well.
It seems, at present, you are the youngest among us.”
The twin won were nad Yang Lizhi and Yang Liqi, respectively.
Li Guo’an looked at the final individual, an Arican with blond hair and golden-rimd glasses, who appeared rather plump, “Third, I bought you from human traffickers.
You’ve also gotten old, haven’t you?”
This Arican was nad Jas.
Li Long, clearly a businessman.
All five disciples now stood before Li Guo’an, like soldiers waiting for their general’s command.
Li Guo’an nodded and said, “Let’s go!”
If it hadn’t been for the Third Master’s orders to encircle the place beforehand, bystanders would have been astonished to see so many people kneeling before this old man.
The five left the train station and arrived at a quiet plaza, where three private planes were parked.
Li Xiaoqiang, spores, Li Guo’an, and the five disciples boarded one of the private planes; the rest of the associates took the other two.
Zuo Ming gazed at Li Xiaoqiang and spores, asking, “Master, are these Xiaoqiang and Xiaopin?”
Li Guo’an nodded slightly, “Hmm, calf, Xiaopin, these five are my disciples.
You should call them uncle.”
Li Xiaoqiang nodded and greeted, “Hello, uncles and aunts!”
However, spores didn’t call out, shooting the five disciples a simple, silly smile instead.
Seeing the five disciples staring at spores, Li Xiaoqiang smiled and said, “Spores is like that, he doesn’t talk much.
I hope you uncles and aunts won’t take it the wrong way.”
The five disciples didn’t say much, but exchanged smiles with one another.
Yang Lizhi, the elder twin, spoke up first, “Master, do we need to arrange the futures for Xiao Li and Xiaopin?”
Li Guo’an shook his head, looked at both and said, “You uncles and aunts, it’s best not to interfere with their lives.
Every generation has its own luck, and I wish for my descendants to forge their own path with their own hands.
Besides, I believe in the two of them.”
Yang Lizhi also nodded slightly upon hearing this, “Master is right; both of them were personally trained by you, their futures will surely be extraordinary.”
At that mont, Li Guo’an looked at spores and said in a solemn voice, “Xiaopin, I want to send you to the army, will you go?”
Spores was taken aback upon hearing this and did not respond to Li Guo’an’s question.
Instead, he turned his gaze to Li Xiaoqiang.
