Chapter 4 Internal and external troubles(2/2)

When the former leader founded the Baijiang Gang, he established a rule that no spiritual fish caught by the gang could be kept for private use and must be sold into spiritual stones.

Although Meng Zhou also wanted to taste the spirit fish, he was even more unlikely to slap himself in the face.

Xu Lei had already put two spiritual fish into the kitchen water tank. When he saw Meng Zhou preparing to wash rice for cooking, he immediately grabbed it.

"Brother, I'll come."

Even though he was a tall and strong man, he was more skilled than Meng Zhou in doing this. He quickly got everything done and sat down in front of the stove to light a fire.

Usually, in order not to disturb his practice, Xu Lei would come and go in a hurry, deliver things, and leave after saying a few words at most.

"Lao San, what's wrong with you?" Meng Zhou asked directly.

Xu Lei ignited the fire with hay, added some flammable pine branches to the stove, and then added a few large firewood sticks that could withstand burning. The flames made his face glow red.

After doing all this, he looked at Meng Zhou and said, "Brother, Li Heng went to see Na Guanmo again. He left early yesterday and hasn't come back yet."

This time, he didn't even call him "second brother" and called him by his first name.

Meng Zhou narrowed his eyes slightly, guessing Li Heng's motives for frequent contact with Manager Mo.

But he said:

"Oh, I don't know his specific intention, but he should be doing this to prepare for officially taking over the Baijiang Gang in the future.

Since I have made it clear that he is the next leader of the Baijiang Gang, there is nothing wrong with him doing this."

Having said this, he looked at Xu Lei who was lighting the fire in front of the stove and said with some sincerity:

"Lao San, I know my decision makes you a little uncomfortable, but this is the rule of the spiritual world.

The second child will break through to the middle stage of Qi training this year, but you will have to wait until two or three years later.

If I jumped over him and let you take the position, would you be able to hold on?

The Baijiang Gang will fall apart immediately!

Is this what you want to see?"

Xu Lei said angrily:

"I have a problem with him, but it's not because of this.

If he can manage things well like you, even if he is a little selfish, I can tolerate it.

But now, he has no intention of running the Baijiang Gang properly!"

"Oh, what does he want to do?"

Meng Zhou was curious.

He was really curious about this.

"He wants to pack up the Baijiang Gang and sell it!"

"Ah? How come?!"

Meng Zhou said in shock, with a look of disbelief on his face.

But in my heart, I have to give Li Laoer a thumbs up, this TND is a talent!

Xu Lei said: "Brother, do you know Na Guanshi's background?"

Meng Zhou's thoughts were spinning rapidly, and he quickly sorted out the memory of his previous master, "Oh, what is his background?"

"Cuiyu Lake Mo Family, do you know?" Xu Lei asked.

Meng Zhou nodded:

"Of course, it is said that it is the strongest family in Cuiyu Lake and occupies the most elite area of ​​Cuiyu Lake. The number of foundation-building monks can be counted on one hand, and there are even fake elixir masters sitting here.

If they are the rocs in the sky, we are just the little loaches in the gutter."

Having said this, his pupils widened slightly and he looked at Xu Lei: "That Mo manager, is this the Mo family?"

Xu Lei said: "Not directly related to the main family, but also a side branch that has not yet emerged from the fifth server."

"That's it." Meng Zhou held his left elbow with his right hand and his chin with his left hand, his eyes showing deep thought.

Xu Lei opened his mouth and wanted to say that Li Lao Er could become so wanton and arrogant because of your connivance, big brother.

However, this was just a momentary emotion, and he quickly suppressed the thought of committing suicide.

Meng Zhou was working hard to sort out everything related to it based on the memory of the original owner.

The purpose of the original owner's founding of the Baijiang Gang was very clear: to collect spiritual stones and buy water to nourish the secrets.

As long as this goal can be achieved, it doesn't matter to him even if the Baijiang Gang falls apart in the next moment.

He was not greedy for the position of leader of the gang.

Therefore, in terms of management of the Baijiang Gang, apart from keeping a close eye on the entry and exit of spiritual stones, other aspects are very relaxed.

Otherwise, with his familiarity and skills in gang affairs, as well as the huge prestige of the Baijiang Gang that he single-handedly founded, it would not be difficult for the gang members to be devoted to him, and there would be no chance that Li Laoer would develop a die-hard loyalist.

Before secretly selecting the casual cultivators to join his gang, he had a rough idea of ​​their positioning.

The third child, Xu Lei, is strong and burly, has good fighting ability at the same level, and has a straightforward personality. His positioning is similar to that of a "double-flowered red stick".

If the Baijiang Gang wants to beg for food in Baijiang, it is inevitable that they will have conflicts with other casual cultivators. Whether it is for the prestige of the gang leader or the original owner's physical condition, it is inappropriate to do everything personally.

Xu Lei's status and prestige in the gang were really gained along the way.

Li Heng, who is shrewd and meticulous and has the highest level of cultivation besides the original owner himself, was his chore assistant from the beginning, managing trivial tasks on his behalf.

In addition, he also has another important responsibility, which is to sell the spiritual fish harvested each time and deliver the spiritual stones to the original owner.

Because the spirit fish that can be caught in Baijiang are all very common species, and some can only be regarded as "semi-spiritual fish", and the prices are transparent, the former owner has no worries that the second son, Li Heng, will enrich himself.

In the original owner's position, he was a tool man.

All along, the situation has been as he expected.

Meng Zhou was also familiar with the Mo Guanshi mentioned by Xu Lei.

Baijiang and Cuiyu Lake are connected by a large body of water, and there is an obvious pattern in the distribution of spiritual energy. The closer you are to Cuiyu Lake, the more abundant the spiritual energy will be, and the more spiritual materials there will be for the spiritual fish.

However, that is only compared to Baijiang, and compared to the real Jade Lake, it is still a barren land of spiritual energy.

There are many casual cultivators in the middle stage of Qi training who make a living there by fishing. When the former master was determining the location of the Baijiang Gang, he also considered that water area, but in the end he gave up rationally.

With his strength, he could go there alone and establish a foothold, but if he wanted to insert a member of the Baijiang Gang, he would be a little out of his depth.

Since there are fishermen in that water area, there are naturally fishmongers. Everyone likes to call them stewards, and Mo steward is an inconspicuous one among them.

Meng Zhou remembered that there was no fixed buyer for the Baijiang Gang’s catch, and they would sell it to anyone they encountered.

He really didn't expect that this Manager Mo was actually a branch of the Mo family in Cuiyu Lake. After all, there were quite a few monks surnamed Mo who were active around Cuiyu Lake, but not many could be related to the Mo family. At the level of the former master, there were not many of them at all.

I have never met him before, so I naturally didn’t think about it.

To put it bluntly, even a dog raised by the Mo family is not something that a monk at his level can easily come into contact with.

He even didn't expect that the second child, Li Heng, could hook up with him.

Meng Zhou also gradually understood in his heart.

This is Li Laoer's greatest reliance on daring to have trouble with his former master and engage in arm wrestling.

He looked at Xu Lei and asked, "What else do you know?"
