Liang Xiaoru looked at Lao Pang with surprise and doubt. Lao Pang glanced at Liang Xiaoru apologetically and gestured with his eyes for her to keep quiet.
"A relationship? So you mean you tacitly agree that I can have something happen between Miss Liang. Only, we need to cultivate feelings first, right?" Gao Jianfei laughed. "Then I'm curious, what exactly do you want my help with?"
Gao Jianfei's interest surged uncontrollably.
What could possibly drive Lao Pang, a mature man who appears to have a high social standing, considerable internal martial arts skills, and an upright demeanor, to such a despicable act?
Therefore, Gao Jianfei finally steered the conversation to the key and important part.
Old Pang wiped his sweat, seemingly relieved, thinking to himself, "Mr. Gao Jianfei, my ancestor, you're finally willing to listen to my explanation!"
"It's like this..." Old Pang had barely uttered these words when he involuntarily glanced left and right—a completely subconscious gesture that indicated what he was about to say was extremely confidential. "Does Mr. Gao realize that his current situation is very precarious?"
"Huh?" Gao Jianfei paused, then narrowed his eyes. "I'm fine! I'm perfectly fine, very well!"
"Cough cough..." Old Pang choked on Gao Jianfei's words. "This... Mr. Gao, now that things have come to this, I won't hold back anymore. On behalf of the Wudang Sect, I'd like to have a frank and open discussion with you!"
"The Wudang Sect?" Gao Jianfei rubbed his nose. "Heh, I really didn't expect it to be the Wudang Sect founded by the legendary Taoist Zhang Sanfeng. Wait, why aren't you a Taoist?"
"Uh... Mr. Gao, I am a lay disciple..." Old Pang wiped his sweat again, then cut to the chase, "Does Mr. Gao know anything about the Holy Land?"
Holy Land!
Upon hearing this word, Gao Jianfei's carefree smile quickly vanished.
Gao Jianfei might not be able to get by on other things, but when it comes to the Holy Land, he cannot afford to be careless!
Currently, Gao Jianfei enjoys a great reputation in the secular world; it wouldn't be an exaggeration to say he fears nothing. However, the Holy Land represents a mysterious and transcendent power. Gao Jianfei cannot afford to be indifferent to it!
Seeing Gao Jianfei's sudden change to a serious expression, Old Pang, discerning his demeanor, immediately said, "It seems Mr. Gao already knows about the Holy Land. Then, our conversation from here on out will be much easier!"
"Uh? Uncle Pang, what 'holy land'? I've never heard you mention it before?" At this moment, Liang Xiaoru's attention was instantly diverted to it.
Old Pang glanced at Liang Xiaoru, signaling her not to ask any more questions and to keep quiet.
"Go on," Gao Jianfei said softly. "So what if it's a holy land? So what if it's the Wudang Sect? What do you want from me?"
Old Pang took a deep breath, composed himself, and then said, "Mr. Gao, do you know that Feng Haoyu, the man who will be competing against you in that world-shaking genius challenge in just over a month, is a disciple of the Holy Land!"
This time, Gao Jianfei did not show any shock. He had already learned Feng Haoyu's true identity from Senior Brother Junyi!
"Hmm, it seems Mr. Gao is also in the know." Old Pang nodded. "In short, the fact that Mr. Gao possesses the secret of beast taming is known not only to our entire internal martial arts sect, but also to the people of the Holy Land. Speaking of which, disciples of the Holy Land must have already infiltrated Mr. Gao's hometown, ZG City! Because our Shaolin, Wudang, and other sects once sent some disciples into ZG City to try to talk to Mr. Gao, but all of these disciples were killed by disciples of the Holy Land! Not a single one survived!"
"Hiss!" Upon hearing this, Liang Xiaoru gasped! She was startled!
"Yes, continue." Gao Jianfei seemed to have already figured out that Lao Pang and Liang Xiaoru had come under the guise of holding a concert to investigate his true purpose!
"Mr. Gao, to put it bluntly, don't be fooled by your current safety. In reality, the people of the Holy Land have been coveting you for a long time! Otherwise, they wouldn't have sent so many disciples to ambush and kill our disciples before our internal martial arts sect could find you!" Old Pang said decisively. "In other words, after your match with Feng Haoyu, the people of the Holy Land will definitely come forward to capture Mr. Gao!"
"Heh, so you mean to tell me that my current situation is indeed extremely difficult?" Gao Jianfei laughed instead. "However, the Holy Land wants to capture me, what does that have to do with your Wudang Sect?"
A glint of light flashed in Old Pang's eyes. "Mr. Gao, on the surface, since the Holy Land has already intervened in this matter, our various ancient martial arts sects should know better than to back down. Indeed, this is the Holy Land's secret covetousness of you, seemingly unrelated to us. However, a person without foresight will surely have immediate worries! Mr. Gao, think about it, the Holy Land's power is unparalleled; annihilating our internal martial arts sects would be as easy as blowing dust. Although they haven't revealed this ambition yet, who can guarantee they never have? With the Holy Land's existence, our ancient martial arts sects can hardly sleep or eat in peace! Especially what happened this time, it truly chills our internal martial arts sects! The Holy Land's disciples kill our internal martial arts sect disciples like slaughtering chickens and dogs, without any reason, killing at will! This attitude demonstrates the Holy Land's power! If this continues, who can guarantee that the Holy Land won't develop the ambition to destroy us?"
Hearing Lao Pang's analysis, Gao Jianfei nodded secretly. Indeed, the logic was sound. These ancient martial arts sects, with their long and rich histories, although they hadn't mastered the true power of ancient internal martial arts, had branched out and cultivated numerous disciples. Having been rooted in the secular world for so many years, they must have built their own wealth and influence. The Holy Land appeared to be a reclusive force, but who could guarantee they wouldn't tire of their seclusion and want to stir up trouble one day! Once they emerged, their first target would likely be these internal martial arts sects!
"Mr. Gao, major sects like Shaolin and Wudang have been passed down for thousands of years. We would rather die than be dogs of the Holy Land! We would rather be slaughtered like pigs and sheep by the disciples of the Holy Land!" Old Pang said fiercely.
“Hmm, I roughly understand what you, uh, no, what your Wudang Sect means.” Gao Jianfei nodded. “But what does this have to do with me? If your Wudang Sect and Shaolin Sect want to rebel against the Holy Land, why don’t you rebel against it? Why come to me? According to you, I can’t even protect myself. I’m already prey of the Holy Land! Why are you still coming to me?”
"Ahem..." Old Pang coughed a few times. "Mr. Gao, now that we've laid everything out, let's not hold back anymore. The family behind you must be an ancient and great one!"
"Oh?" Gao Jianfei laughed. "The family behind me? You... hahaha..."
"Mr. Gao, your expertise in beast taming techniques, according to ancient records, must have originated from an ancient sorcerer family! That stuff is very mysterious, and we didn't believe that such a secret technique for beast taming could still exist in this world. However, your appearance has overturned our understanding and made us realize that such ancient sorcerer families do exist! And you are an elite disciple of this family!" Old Pang said in a very assertive tone. "Furthermore, according to the Qingcheng Sect, when you were in Japan, your family's experts stepped forward to protect you, and in one night, they killed dozens of Qingcheng Sect's first-generation disciples, causing the Qingcheng Sect to suffer heavy losses, falling from a first-rate ancient martial arts sect to a second-rate one... All of this is enough to show that you have a very deep background!"
This was the first time Old Pang had said these words to Liang Xiaoru's face, so all her anger vanished, replaced by immense curiosity. She stared at Gao Jianfei, a thought swirling in her mind... A family that can control wild beasts? Wow! Gao Jianfei's background is even more bizarre and mysterious than our internal martial arts sect!
Generally speaking, castles, forbidden areas, and clans with a touch of mystery are extremely attractive to most young people!
It wasn't just young people; even guys like Lao Pang, who were over fifty, were full of curiosity.
At this moment, Old Pang looked at Gao Jianfei with burning eyes, waiting for Gao Jianfei's answer.
“I understand, I completely understand,” Gao Jianfei tapped the table lightly. “Your Wudang Sect wants to cooperate with my family to fight against the Holy Land, is that what you mean?”
"Yes! Mr. Gao, that's exactly what we mean!" Old Pang said eagerly. "In fact, the leader of our Wudang Sect and the abbot of Shaolin Temple are quite cautious about this cooperation. First, Mr. Gao must demonstrate the foundation and power of your family to convince us, or perhaps have an elder from your family meet with us. If we deem cooperation necessary, then we will swear a blood oath with Mr. Gao's family! Gao Jianfei, don't be suspicious; this is a matter of life and death, so we must be extra careful!"
"Hehe, I understand." Gao Jianfei nodded. "If my family isn't as powerful as you imagine, then what about you?"
"Alas, then we can only sit and wait for our doom! At worst, we'll fight to the death when the Holy Land reveals its ambitions. In any case, we can't take the initiative to attack," Old Pang said sadly.
"So, if my family is willing to cooperate with you, what benefits will I get?" Gao Jianfei immediately retorted.
Chapter 398: Gather 100,000 Exorcism Points!
Chapter 398 Gathering 10 Exorcism Points!
Old Pang's visit to Gao Jianfei this time represents the entire Wudang School. No, it could be said that he represents Shaolin, Wudang, and other ancient martial arts schools.
Speaking of cooperation, actually...
Gao Jianfei was already smiling inside!
He definitely laughed!
Regardless of whether these ancient internal martial arts sects come knocking on his door or not, Gao Jianfei will inevitably have to confront the Holy Land head-on once!
In other words, Gao Jianfei has already clashed with the Holy Land!
The reason for this is nothing more than the "secret to taming beasts".
Now, Gao Jianfei is shouldering all the trouble alone, and those ancient martial arts sects are actually eagerly coming over, willing to form an alliance with Gao Jianfei and cooperate so that everyone can share the burden...
Gao Jianfei was all alone, and for an ancient martial arts sect to be willing to come to his door and share his worries and dangers was like a pie falling from the sky!
Where else can you find such a good thing!
Although the martial arts of these ancient martial arts sects are insignificant compared to the Holy Land, even a small mosquito is still meat, right?
Besides, if we really encounter danger, wouldn't it be good to have some people take the fall with us?
Of course, all the misunderstandings stemmed from "Gao Jianfei's family."
It can be said that what the people of the Wudang Sect wanted to win over was not Gao Jianfei, but the fictitious family behind Gao Jianfei!
Seeing Lao Pang's obsequious and cautious demeanor, Gao Jianfei almost burst out laughing... Damn it! If I told you that I don't have any family backing me at all, that I'm just a lone commander, let's see if you still dare to talk to me about cooperation!
“Mr. Gao… Well, this matter is of great importance. Perhaps you… perhaps you should inform your family?” Old Pang broke out in a cold sweat again. “These matters… perhaps you should ask an elder of your family to have a face-to-face discussion with the leader of my Wudang Sect… this…”
"Hmm. Cooperation, right?" Gao Jianfei said casually. "I understand your concerns. You want to see the power of my family first, right? In fact, my family is much stronger than your so-called ancient martial arts sects! That's beyond doubt! And you can't just see my family elders whenever you want!"
"This..." Old Pang's forehead was covered in cold sweat.
Gao Jianfei is deliberately putting on airs. Generally speaking, the more powerful a family is, the more arrogant they are. If we easily agree to their demands, wouldn't we lose face?
"Hmph! What a big shot!" Liang Xiaoru couldn't help but retort when she saw Lao Pang get the short end of the stick.
"Hey girl, shut up!" Gao Jianfei sneered. "Looks like you have no right to speak now!"
Old Pang hurriedly said, "Xiao Ru, don't say anything! Don't make Mr. Gao angry!"
After a pause, Old Pang turned his gaze to Gao Jianfei, "Mr. Gao, actually, this is a win-win cooperation. Please inform your family's higher-ups..."
"Alright! I can agree to this. However, what benefits will my family gain from cooperating with you? You should at least show some sincerity, right?" Gao Jianfei thought to himself, at this time, it would be good to be able to extract some benefits.
"Mr. Gao, once a cooperative relationship is established, then... well, I must tell you, Mr. Gao, our internal martial arts circle is now divided into two camps. One camp, led by Kunlun, Qingcheng, and Emei, is preparing to submit to the Holy Land and become its lackeys; the other camp, led by our Wudang, Shaolin, and Beggar Clan, comprises 33 internal martial arts sects, and we reject the Holy Land! In other words, after cooperation, Mr. Gao will be an ally of our 33 ancient martial arts sects! In China, our ancient martial arts sects have existed for over a thousand years, and we still possess considerable resources, wealth, and various forms of worldly power and resources, all of which Mr. Gao can enjoy! For example, the son of the Director of the Public Security Bureau of HB Province is actually a lay disciple of our Wudang sect. If Mr. Gao has the opportunity to visit HB Province, he will undoubtedly receive a comprehensive reception. In addition, at least a dozen of the top-ranking wealthy individuals in China have backgrounds with our Wudang, Shaolin, and other sects, so... do you understand now, Mr. Gao?"
Gao Jianfei nodded and smiled.
Gao Jianfei can access all the resources of the 33 ancient martial arts sects! He can also allocate and use the personnel within these sects when needed.
This is purely a good thing!
What's there to hesitate about?
"Alright! Tomorrow I will use a special communication method to send a message to my family's higher-ups, asking them to send an elder down to personally receive you! As for whether the final cooperation can be formed, that depends on the outcome of the negotiations between my family's elder and your internal martial arts sect. I'm only here to act as an introducer." Gao Jianfei fabricated a story, then changed the subject, "However, I have a small request..."
"Please speak!" Hearing Gao Jianfei readily agree, Old Pang was naturally relieved and overjoyed!
"My requirement is... well, once the collaboration is finalized, then I'll have to play with this celebrity for a few days. Haha!" Gao Jianfei pointed at Liang Xiaoru's ample breasts and said in a deliberately flirtatious manner.
"Huh?" Old Pang choked again. He hadn't expected that Gao Jianfei was still so hung up on this!
"Don't be so presumptuous!" Liang Xiaoru hated Gao Jianfei to the core, but at the same time she was afraid that Lao Pang would agree to Gao Jianfei's conditions, so she looked at Lao Pang with trepidation.
“This… Mr. Gao… this… playing with women is, is, immoral…” Old Pang said earnestly.
"Hmph! For my family, there's no such thing as immorality or morality! Don't try to restrain me with these worldly so-called morals! My family follows the law of the jungle! We act according to our whims!" Gao Jianfei said mysteriously. "If you don't even have this much sincerity, then there's no need for us to cooperate! My family can fight against the Holy Land alone, and we don't need trash allies like you!"
After saying that, Gao Jianfei pretended to turn and leave.
"Wait!" Old Pang stood up anxiously. "Mr. Gao... this... this... well, alright then!"
"What?!" Liang Xiaoru could hardly believe her ears!
Old Pang, who always doted on her, actually agreed to let Gao Jianfei play with her for a few days!
This was absolutely devastating for Liang Xiaoru!
Old Pang gripped Liang Xiaoru's hand tightly to calm her down and stop her from making a fuss.
"Haha! Okay! It's a deal!" Gao Jianfei was overjoyed, feeling a sense of pleasure after teasing someone. As he brushed past Liang Xiaoru, who was trembling with anger, he couldn't resist reaching out and giving her pert, snowy buttocks a quick pat! He found them incredibly elastic and taut, with a very pleasant feel. "Hmm, not bad, not bad."
"You're so despicable!" Liang Xiaoru couldn't bear it any longer and struck Gao Jianfei's back with her right palm like lightning. It was a very fierce killing move from the Wudang palm technique!
Before Lao Pang could intervene, Gao Jianfei, without turning his head, reached out with his right hand and touched Liang Xiaoru's plump breasts, instantly sealing several acupoints on her upper body. Instantly, Liang Xiaoru collapsed into Lao Pang's arms, her eyes filled with horror as she stared in disbelief at Gao Jianfei's languid back.
"It's...it's...Orchid Finger Acupoint Technique..." Old Pang was stunned. Gao Jianfei's acupoint striking technique had deeply grasped the essence of the Orchid Finger Acupoint Technique. His move seemed effortless, subduing the berserk Liang Xiaoru without breaking a sweat!
Even if the head of the Wudang Sect were to personally perform this skill, he could probably only achieve the same level as Gao Jianfei!
"Mr. Gao! Xiaoru didn't mean to offend you! Please... please release Xiaoru's pressure points, I apologize to you!" Old Pang said to Gao Jianfei with a mixture of fear and admiration. He thought to himself, Gao Jianfei truly lives up to his reputation as a scion of a mysterious family; his actions are indeed those of a master, his martial arts skills are comparable to the Wudang Sect Leader! In other words, Gao Jianfei is just a junior in his family; if a family elder were to come, how terrifying would their martial prowess be?
Therefore, subconsciously, Lao Pang had developed a great fear of Gao Jianfei's fictitious family!
"I just gave this big star a little lesson. She'll be fine after a few hours of sleep on the sofa. But you have to remind her not to nag me like that again, otherwise, it won't be as simple as just a few hours of sleep," Gao Jianfei said without turning around. Then he returned to his bedroom.
"Disgusting! Shameless! Rogue! Big rogue!" Liang Xiaoru was both furious and terrified. She had never experienced what it felt like to have her pressure points struck. The feeling of her body going limp as if she had no bones, and the emptiness in her lower abdomen, filled Liang Xiaoru with a nameless fear. So much so that she only dared to curse in a low voice.
"Alright! Xiaoru! Don't provoke Mr. Gao again... We... can't afford to offend him!" Old Pang sighed helplessly, carried Liang Xiaoru to the sofa, and let her sleep.
Gao Jianfei returned to the bedroom, took off his clothes, and hugged Chen Xian to continue sleeping. Thinking about how he had pranked the leading lady of the Chinese music scene, Gao Jianfei found it amusing.
"Jianfei," Chen Xian said, slightly uneasy, "what exactly are Miss Liang and her agent here for?"
"Oh, it's just that someone in her family is sick, and she heard I'm a doctor, so she came to me for treatment," Gao Jianfei said casually.
"Oh? Is that so? Then... what illness does Miss Liang's family member have?"
