Chapter 317: If You Have Been Kidnapped, Just Blink Your Eyes

Tian Du City.

The train station was, in fact, the most chaotic area.

A few plain plainclothes policemen cast unfriendly looks at Li Tiantian. Goodness, this lady was pulling up her skirt and throwing them flirtatious glances…

Were the people they had caught last week out doing business again?

It was a pity…

Just as they were prepared to go over and take a look, the lady was already gone. The policemen looked at each other and eventually turned their gazes to the young lady who had just appeared.

“Oo… I’m here on holiday but I don’t have money to go home. Please… big brother, give me some money for my travel expenses,” the young lady pleaded miserably.

Shush!

The few policemen’s eyes shone. It had appeared. The toll monster!

“Should we arrest her?”

“Wait a minute. Another group of swindlers are coming soon. We’ll arrest them together later.”

“Okay.”

…

At this very moment…

Li Tiantian had already left with Lu Ming.

“Brother. Why are you going there?

“It’s not very safe. Why don’t you come to your sister’s dormitory? Your sister is away and I am scared to sleep alone. Can you come and keep me company?” Li Tiantian said softly.

Lu Ming was expressionless. “You have not explained the situation regarding using nude photos as collateral to me…”

“What else can it be?!”

Li Tiantian made eyes at him. “Everyone knows that you used nude photos as collateral to obtain loans!”

“How is that possible?!”

Lu Ming’s murderous intent was obvious. “Those who knew about it are dead!

“I don’t believe it!”

Li Tiantian pursed her lips. “If you don’t believe me, ask the young lady beside you. Most probably, she knows too!”

“Ridiculous.”

Lu Ming did not believe her.

Xiaobai was so obedient. How would she know about these things?

“Huh?”

Xiaobai’s tiny face turned pink instantly. “W-what are you guys talking about? I don’t know! I don’t know that Master dressed in female clothing and used nude photos as collateral to obtain loans!”

Shush!

There was suddenly silence in the air.

Lu Ming was speechless.

Dressed in female clothing…

They were merely talking about the nude photos and did not mention female clothing! Xiaobai, this little girl…

“How did you find out about that?”

Lu Ming’s expression did not look good.

“Well…”

Blushing and clutching the corners of her clothing, Xiaobai bowed her head and said softly, “Those books below the bed… and some notes… I guessed it after reading them…”

Lu Ming was silent.

She was indeed a genius who had skipped some grades and completed her basic education!

This girl…

“It’s okay. I don’t mind.”

Xiaobai felt embarrassed. “Master, if you really like doing that. At night… I-I can lend you my clothes…”

Lu Ming was expressionless.

They were done for!

His dignity as a master…

Damn!

Pfft!

Li Tiantian almost laughed to death.

Dressed in women’s clothes…

Lu Yan entrusted her to seduce Lu Ming and ‘straighten’ him! How could she not know about him cross-dressing? Lu Yan was her best friend!

Well…

The type that could share her young brother.

At the thought of this, Li Tiantian looked at Lu Ming with a deep and profound gaze.

“Look. Everyone knows about this.”

Lu Ming was speechless.

Alright.

He knew that it was not that easy to conceal information in this era.

“Xiao-Xiaojian?”

“What is the matter?”

“Block all the information about me regarding cross-dressing and using nude photos as collateral. If anyone dares to deduce it, sell them drugs until he vomits blood. This must not be exposed.”

“Understood.”

Xiao-Xiaojian executed the instructions firmly.

…

Tian Du City was very huge.

Although Beihai Road was also a main road of Tian Du City, its distance from the station was further than that between Qing Ming City and Chong Yang City.

Very soon…

Li Tiantian brought Lu Ming to Beihai Road.

“Why did you come to this place?” Li Tiantian suddenly asked.

“I have an appointment with a few friends.”

Lu Ming’s voice was low.

He did not feel like communicating with Li Tiantian now…

This girl was very annoying.

“It’s not very peaceful here.”

Li Tiantian told him, “Beihai Road was constructed in the early years and is in the old town. Compared to other areas in Tian Du City, it has poorer security and is slightly chaotic. School loans, loan sharks and some special places are located on Beihai Road, especially near the middle of the road. You have to be careful.”

“Don’t worry. Can anything be more chaotic than Qing Ming City?”

Lu Ming rolled his eyes.

“That’s right. You even tore down Qing Ming City. What’s there to be afraid of?”

Li Tiantian could not contain her laughter.

“I didn’t tear down the place…” Lu Ming said listlessly.

“R-right. I know.”

Li Tiantian snickered. She loved to tease Lu Ming. “Don’t worry, I’ll definitely tell you if I see the police.”

Lu Ming was speechless.

Why was this woman that annoying!

No. 99, Beihai Road…

After searching for a long time, Lu Ming and folks then found out that the so-called No. 99 Beihai Road was not a particular room but an entire building that stretched across three streets!

Damn!

This was the base that Old Zhao bought?!

Lu Ming was taken aback.

…

“Master! Senior Sister!”

Upon hearing that their master had arrived, Li Haoran and company came down excitedly.

“Long time no see.”

Zhao Yunshan nodded slightly to show his respect.

He wore a respectful expression. However, he had come into contact with Lu Ming much earlier and he ultimately could not bring himself to address Lu Ming as ‘Master’.

Master?

Li Tiantian was shocked.

Lu Ming even has disciples?!

Furthermore, what was Zhao Yunshan, this rich man’s kid, doing here?

“This is…”

Li Haoran looked at this stunning beauty next to Lu Ming. He pondered for a moment and had a sudden realization. “Master’s wife?”

Shush!

Beams of murderous gazes swept across him. He briefly sensed that they came from the lady, Master and Senior Sister…

Li Haoran broke out in a cold sweat.

“This is my sister’s friend. You guys can call her Senior Li.”

Lu Ming sighed.

Lu Yan…

Li Haoran and the group were awestruck. “Hello, Senior Li.”

Li Tiantian’s face was grim.

Senior…

At her age and the fact that she was fair, as pretty as a flower and had a voluptuous figure with no sagging, why would anyone address her as senior…

It was a pity…

At this moment, everyone was ignoring her.

…

“Master, Senior Sister. This way please.”

Li Haoran led them inside.

“This is the building that you bought?”

Lu Ming looked up.

“Yes.”

Zhao Yunshan was accompanying Lu Ming by his side and leading the way. “Although it’s slightly small as a base, we can change it once the Sword Card Master Association develops.”

Lu Ming was speechless.

Although… slightly small…

Cough.

Lu Ming coughed. “Is it well-equipped?”

“Yes.”

Zhao Yunshan explained, “This place used to be a branch of the Energy Warriors Association. Therefore, the basic facilities already existed. We just need some staff members and then the operations can commence. I’ve already left this to Senior Brother to handle. I believe that everything will run smoothly in a week’s time.”

“Okay.”

Lu Ming followed him.

This base and building were really huge. It was much bigger than the Card Creators Association in Qing Ming City. It was very magnificent!

“Master… Both you and Senior Sister can stay here.”

Li Haoran had long made the proper arrangements.

“Okay.”

Lu Ming nodded slightly.

Although Li Haoran, this disciple, had ordinary talent and merely one-tenth of his looks, he was a strong all-rounder and an extremely capable manager.

Not bad! Not bad!

“Master.”

Zhao Yunshan felt somewhat ashamed. “I can’t contribute much to the research on the abilities of the Sword Card Master Association. Therefore, I can only provide support in the form of sponsoring funds…”

He felt very ashamed.

Everyone in the Sword Card Master was a genius!

Everyone had a role to play!

Except for him…

His only forte of swordplay was even defeated by Lu Ming and Lu Yan!

He was very sure.

Lu Ming’s swordplay did not appear in the forums of the association because Master wanted to give him a chance. If Lu Ming published some swordplay related abilities, what was the use of having him then?

He was also well aware that he could not render any help towards the true development of the entire Sword Card Master Association!

He felt extremely guilty.

Therefore, he could provide a little bit of support in terms of funds and sponsor several hundred million yuan…

Sigh.

“Everyone has their merits. Believe in yourself.”

Li Haoran patted his shoulders.

“Yes, senior brother.”

Zhao Yunshan’s expression was solemn.

Lu Ming was silent.

His strange and mysterious gaze swept across this pair of loving buddies. He could not figure out how Li Haoran managed to teach Zhao Yunshan to become like that…

That was amazing!

His brainwashing ability was certainly supreme!

…

Li Tiantian, who was watching by the side, looked dumbstruck.

This…

This was the association?

That association that Lu Ming established?!

Although she had occasionally heard of it in the past before, her impression of it was that it wasn’t a serious thing. Unknowing, it had already developed to this extent?

They even had a headquarters now!

Furthermore…

It was huge!

Although she did not know these people, she had heard of Zhao Yunshan before… This proud and arrogant rich man’s kid actually joined the association willingly?

This association…

Why did it feel so strange?

Lu Ming…

Don’t tell me Lu Ming has been conned into pyramid schemes?!

Li Tiantian became vigilant.

It was rumored that some people specialized in this. They told you that you were a one-of-a-kind genius, gave you a high status and the title of xx sect leader, and then robbed you of your beauty and money, cheating everything out of you and your friends and families…

Look.

If the association had a base, it was easier to fool relatives and friends!

Furthermore…

On the surface, all of this was done in your name!

If one were to think carefully about it…

“Brother. Are you sure that there’s no problem with this association?”

Li Tiantian pulled Lu Ming to the side quietly. “Is this an association or a cult?”

Lu Yan was not around and she needed to take care of Lu Ming.

“I have a hunch that something is not quite right.”

Li Tiantian said warily, “Be careful. This may be a cult that’s cheating people, especially Li Haoran. I can tell with one glance that he’s a marketing expert.”

Cough, cough.

Lu Ming coughed. “There isn’t a problem. Don’t worry.”

He was the one who fooled the few of them… Ah, wrong… taught them. Step by step, they had achieved this stage. He was well aware of the situation. There were no lies at all.

“Don’t worry. Crap.”

Li Tiantian rolled her eyes and said seriously, “Zhao Yunshan will at most be swindled out of some money but you… With your looks, some lecherous people may lay their hands on you. You may lose your chastity.”

Lu Ming was dumbstruck.

Wait a minute.

Lady Tiantian had been reading a lot of Tanbi1.

Right then…

At a distance, Li Haoran’s expression turned extremely ugly. They did their best to develop the Sword Card Master association but were mistaken for a cult…

Furthermore, they addressed him as Senior Li respectfully but actually gossiped about them behind their backs…

This was too much!

“Senior, don’t talk nonsense.”

Li Haoran furrowed his brows tightly.

Li Tiantian was shocked.

“You can hear me despite being that far away?! Didn’t the Sword Card Master vocation originate from Card Creators? Are you that skillful at listening?”

“Cough.”

Lu Ming coughed. “Sword Card Masters also cultivate their bodies.”

Li Tiantian was speechless.

This vocation of yours sure covers a wide range…

“Silly brother.”

Li Tiantian looked at Lu Ming. “In that case, if you’re kidnapped or cheated, just blink your eyes… Sister will get you out of here.”

Everyone was speechless.

“Senior. All of us can hear you.”

Li Haoran was expressionless.

This beautiful and gentle-looking senior was really… messing around!

“I’m really fine.”

Lu Ming was speechless.

“Alright.”

Li Tiantian shrugged and patted Lu Ming’s shoulders. “Call me over anytime after you’ve had enough fun. I’ll get you out of here.”

Lu Ming was speechless.

Fine.

This Sister Tiantian did not believe anything.

“Have fun!”

Li Tiantian waved her hands and prepared to leave.

“Senior!”

Li Haoran’s expression was grave. “You shouldn’t insult the Sword Card Master vocation!”

Have fun?

What did she mean by ‘have fun’?!

This is too much!

“Senior! Junior is willing to duel with you to clear the Sword Card Master’s name!”

Li Haoran looked serious.

Pfft!

Li Tiantian could not stifle her laughter.

You can’t beat me,” Li Tiantian smiled and said.

“Alright. I believe that you guys are not liars. You guys are very close with Lu Ming. Will that do?”

“I still want to give it a try.”

Li Haoran was very serious.

He absolutely forbade anyone from insulting the Sword Card Master vocation!

Especially—

As Sword Card Masters, they were very powerful and had attained the four-star level. They even possessed the powerful ability to engage in combat with someone at a higher level!

Furthermore, this Sister Tiantian was a five-star!

He could fight her!

Perhaps…

He could clear the Sword Card Master name through this combat!

Li Haoran was not a fool.

It would be fine if this was just an ordinary person. However, Li Tiantian was Lu Yan’s friend. If she did not look up to Sword Card Master, wouldn’t that have an impact on Master?

They were not concerned about what other people thought, but Lu Yan…

They had to care!

“Lu Ming, aren’t you going to take them in hand?”

Li Tiantian sighed and looked at Lu Ming.

“Not really.”

Lu Ming snorted. “Who told you to gossip behind their backs?”

“Little brat.”

Li Tiantian said unhappily, “I’m doing this for your own good. Your disciple is obviously a four-star. I’m not responsible if he becomes emotionally secluded after fighting with me.”

“How do you know before even trying?”

Lu Ming watched smilingly.

“Come on!”

Li Tiantian rolled her eyes.

She discovered that it was not only Lu Ming but his disciples were also extremely complacent. They really believed that they could engage in combat with someone of a higher level…

There was the huge gap of an entire level!

This was not a good thing!

Children, this is Tian Du City!

Alright.

She would jolt them awake…

“Senior, please.”

Li Haoran stepped forward.

“Come on.”

Li Tiantian stretched.

A suffocating aura dissipated from her huge boobs. Li Haoran’s grave expression instantly became dazed and his pupils lost their focus.

Bang!

Li Haoran was sent flying out instantly.
