I can tell what this old man is thinking just by looking at his expression. Really, he’s been played like this by others, and he’s still clinging to his face. If I didn’t think you were still useful, I would have just walked away.
“Young master, I’m afraid we can’t let anyone else live there. The master is not likely to just break the rule set by the ancestors (no one of unknown origin can enter the backyard of the palace).”
Actually, I didn’t intend for them to go to the palace, as that would have made my plan difficult to implement. “How about this, you move to Jiyuan Lane. It’s close to the City Guard, and no one dares to cause trouble there. I’ll help you find a place to live. The Commander of the Nine Gates and I are buddies. I’ll ask him to carefully check the city for suspicious people and have him warn the local thugs in the city to behave and not pry into things.”
“Xiao Lei, I can’t thank you enough for your great kindness. If you need my help in the future, just let me know, and I will definitely help.“
”I will, I will.“ I grinned evilly. If I didn’t want your help, why would I go to all this trouble?
Looking at my smile, Zhang Zhengli felt a little uneasy and cold behind his back.
”By the way, what did the people who hurt you look like? Tell me a few, so I can be careful next time I run into them.”
The old man casually described the appearances of a few people.
“That’s it, you guys rest here first, I’ll go back and settle your accommodation for you, and I’ll come back tonight to take you there.” I added, “I’m telling you, Xiao Lu, you have to watch out for Zhang Lao, and for yourself too. You belong to me now, so you have to protect my things.” After that, I let Yuriko take me out through the wall, so as to avoid the teenager getting angry and rushing over to beat me up.
