After a playful period of jesting and wrestling with Lu Ling'er in the kitchen, the two quickly brought a table full of delicious dishes out.
Eating together as a family, perhaps it was due to their good mood.
During this meal, Zhou Xuan felt less awkward than before.
His attitude towards Lu Linxiao also improved!
After finishing breakfast, Zhou Xuan did not, as usual, immediately hail a taxi to work.
Instead, he went directly to Hei Hu's residence to discuss some matters with him!
"Yo, eating, huh!"
"You're living a more comfortable life than me!"
"No need to get up, and someone directly brings food to your mouth!"
"Why aren't you eating in the main hall?"
Arriving at Hei Hu's door, Zhou Xuan didn't announce himself, but directly opened the door and walked in.
As soon as he entered, he saw Hei Hu squatting on the bed, shoveling rice into his mouth.
He couldn't help but tease him.
"Boss, it's you!"
"I thought it was some female pervert trying to sneak attack me when I wasn't paying attention!"
"It's gotten cold, so I can't get up!"
"Plus, the eldest sister-in-law instructed!"
"She said her uncle might still have some prejudice against me!"
"So she had someone deliver food directly every day, and I'm not allowed in the front hall for now!"
"But it's good this way!"
"I'm a lazy person by nature. Making me get up early is worse than killing me!"
Hearing the voice from the doorway, Hei Hu turned his head.
Upon seeing that it was Zhou Xuan, he relaxed.
While continuing to eat, he responded to Zhou Xuan.
"That's true. I didn't think that much at the time and just let you deal with Lu Tianming directly!"
"Now that his father has come looking for me, it's best to avoid him if possible!"
"After all, he is Ling'er's own uncle!"
"Before he makes any extreme moves, I don't have much of a way to intervene!"
"So I can only inconvenience you for now!"
Hearing Hei Hu's words, Zhou Xuan felt a slight sense of guilt.
At that time, he and Hei Hu were on opposing sides, so such actions were naturally acceptable.
But now Hei Hu was on his side.
Because of these matters, he couldn't even eat at the same table, which naturally made Zhou Xuan feel a bit sheepish.
"Hey, Big Brother, why are you talking about this!"
"In that situation, I'm already content that you spared my life!"
"Besides, isn't it good this way?"
"You are my Big Brother, and I am happy to be able to help you and draw some hatred!"
"So that you and eldest sister-in-law can get along better, I feel quite happy!"
"Let's not talk about this anymore!"
"Big Brother, you came so early, you shouldn't be here to talk about this, right?"
Looking at the slightly apologetic Zhou Xuan before him, Hei Hu waved his hands carelessly.
Then he directly changed the subject, not dwelling on the matter any further.
"Mm!"
"There are indeed some other things I wanted to tell you."
"Do you still remember what I said before!"
"About letting you replace the Wang family and become the underground king of Cangyun City?"
"Of course, I remember!"
"What's wrong, Big Brother!"
"Are we going to start taking action now?"
Hearing Zhou Xuan's words, a gleam suddenly flashed in Hei Hu's eyes.
Then his hands, which were busy eating, stopped, and he looked at Zhou Xuan with hope.
"That's right!"
"My medicine hall has already opened!"
"Now it's time to help you build your forces!"
"This is a global black card, and I don't remember how much money is in it!"
"However, it's definitely more than enough to build a force!"
"Take it and use it first!"
"As for manpower, your few subordinates alone won't be enough!"
"But there's no need to rush now!"
"Since we have money, we can naturally recruit a large number of loyal followers!"
"However, you need to strictly vet these recruits!"
"If their abilities are lacking, they can be trained, but they must be loyal!"
"At the same time, I will also speak to the Luo and Zhang families in Cangyun City!"
"When necessary, they will also lend you a helping hand!"
"Of course, these are all external forces, and you still need to focus on developing our own forces!"
"You can be bold and venture out from the shadows!"
"If there's anything on the legitimate side, I'll have the Lu family help you deal with it!"
"As for the matters of the underworld, you will have to resolve them yourself!"
"If you encounter something you can't resolve, don't force it!"
"Your life is the priority, and then come back to me!"
"We'll work separately, and once our forces grow large enough, we'll combine them!"
"At that time, we'll enlist the support of the Fang family!"
"Then our swords can point directly at Shangjing!"
"By then, any enemy who dares to offend us."
"Will only be able to tremble humbly at our feet!"
After listening to Zhou Xuan, Hei Hu felt an indescribable emotion erupt in his chest and spread throughout his body.
The feeling made his adrenaline soar, and he even couldn't help but want to roar towards the sky.
"Don't worry, Big Brother!"
"I will definitely not disappoint your expectations!"
"I also heard from eldest sister-in-law!"
"The Wang and Zhao families should have some grudges with you, right!"
"While I develop in the shadows this time, I will focus on these two families!"
"When necessary, I'll collect some interest for you first!"
"It's good that you have this intention, don't force yourself!"
"Remember, if you encounter something you can't do, prioritize your survival first!"
"Forces can be rebuilt anytime!"
"Once a person is gone, they are truly gone!"
Hearing Hei Hu's words, Zhou Xuan patted his shoulder with some relief.
Then he stuffed a black card into his hand and turned to leave.
He didn't pay attention to the immense wealth contained within the card, and Hei Hu didn't pretend to refuse.
Everything was so natural and casual.
Because this was the purest way of interacting between brothers.
Immediately after leaving Hei Hu's room, Zhou Xuan took a taxi directly to the Treasure Medicine Pavilion.
However, today's Treasure Medicine Pavilion was clearly different from usual.
After Zhou Xuan got out of the taxi, he was immediately stunned by the scene before him.
At the entrance of the Treasure Medicine Pavilion, for some unknown reason, a large crowd had gathered.
Men and women, old and young, everyone was vying to enter the Treasure Medicine Pavilion.
Unfortunately, although the Treasure Medicine Pavilion was large, it could not accommodate so many people at once.
So, some people who did not manage to get a spot could only keep craning their necks, anxiously peering into the Treasure Medicine Pavilion.
"Hey, brother!"
"What are you guys doing?"
Seeing this scene, Zhou Xuan did not want to fight for a spot with these people.
So he patted a man on the outside and asked curiously.
"You don't even know about this!"
"The Treasure Medicine Pavilion announced it early this morning!"
"They said the divine doctor in the shop has developed an elixir!"
"Taking this elixir can not only prolong life!"
"Some can even grant people superpowers!"
"Now everyone is rushing to get inside!"
"Because the person in charge here said that they would present three elixirs on the spot to fated individuals!"
"So that everyone can witness the efficacy of the medicine firsthand!"
"Who wouldn't want to compete for such a good thing!"
