Prodigal System in the Flourishing City

Chapter 1522: Chapter 1524: God

”Damn old fox!” Jiang Lei watched as the sheriff left with the City Guard Army, unable to hide his expression of unwillingness.

However, at this point, he couldn’t spend money to get the sheriff to arrest him again. That would be too obvious and too easy to be caught out.

Wu Wei glanced at Jiang Lei and turned back to the Wu Family.

Wu Shaopu followed closely behind.

As soon as the door closed, Wu Shaopu couldn’t hold back his questions any longer: ”Dad, why?! Why didn’t you let me and the sheriff report it?! They clearly started it! Once reported, Jiang Lei would definitely not escape trouble! And you even spent money to settle it?!”

”This matter is not simple, or rather, that person is not simple!” Wu Wei squinted his eyes and said.

”But we have cultivators, they don’t, what are we afraid of?!” Wu Shaopu was even more confused!

”Calm down!” Wu Wei waved his hand.

Then an old servant came out and whispered a few words in Wu Wei’s ear.

After listening, Wu Wei’s expression became very strange.

There was a realization and worry, and finally a hint of relief!

”Dad, what’s going on?!” Wu Shaopu was almost going crazy, why was his dad acting so strange?!

”Jiang Longjun was accepted.” Wu Wei exhaled and slowly said.

”What?! That’s impossible!” Wu Shaopu immediately denied it: ”I watched him test there, Metal Spirit Root, eight points! How could he qualify?! Accepted?!”

”After you left, he was tested again, ten points, qualified!” Wu Wei continued.

”What?! That’s even more impossible! How could a spirit root increase so much in such a short time?! That’s impossible! Impossible! Did Jiang Longjun cheat?!”

Wu Shaopu almost jumped up, speaking in horror.

This kind of thing had never happened in history!

”It’s a fact, cheating? Do you think it’s realistic?!” Wu Wei sighed, his son still lacked experience.

”And between the first and second test, Jiang Longjun only interacted with that mysterious person carrying a double bed, the one who hit you.”

”So, if nothing unexpected happens, the reason Jiang Longjun qualified lies with that mysterious person.”

”That also explains why Jiang Longjun and Jiang Lei called that mysterious person their benefactor.”

Wu Wei spoke eloquently, deducing the truth from the limited information.

”Even if that’s the case, there’s no need for Jiang Lei to have such a big conflict with our family! Even going so far as to voluntarily go to jail?!” Wu Shaopu was still puzzled.

This favor is indeed great, but not so great as to cause a brawl with our family, inviting the sheriff!

”If nothing else happens, that mysterious person’s ability must not be a one-time thing!”

Wu Wei’s eyes flickered, trying to deduce the truth.

”And if my guess is correct, then everything makes sense.”

”Whether it was Jiang Lei having a conflict with us or taking responsibility actively, it was all to give that mysterious person the illusion that we would go to any lengths for him.”

”To thereby gain the mysterious person’s favor and benefit again! That is, to enhance the spirit root!”

”What?!” Wu Shaopu jumped up again: ”That mysterious person can enhance the spirit root?! So doesn’t that mean...”

”Yes, exactly!” Wu Wei confirmed Wu Shaopu’s idea: ”Getting this person means we can once again produce a cultivator!”

”Gulp!”

Wu Shaopu swallowed hard, even he recognized the preciousness of that mysterious person!

”Someone, help me change clothes, prepare a gift, I want to visit that gentleman! Shaopu, you come too!” Wu Wei didn’t hesitate, deciding immediately!

This guess was worth gambling on.

If he lost, it was just a matter of face, but if he won, he would hit the jackpot!

”Alright!”

Although Wu Shaopu was a bit of a playboy, he wasn’t truly stupid, and he agreed immediately.

...

Meanwhile, at the Jiang Family.

Jiang Lei stood at the door, mumbling: ”If nothing unexpected happens, that old fox Wu Wei has already figured it out! No, I have to act first!”

”Pass the word, block anyone who comes, wait for me to come first!” Jiang Lei immediately ordered.

”Yes!” The servants were on full alert, not letting go of their sticks!

Afterwards, Jiang Lei strode towards the interior of the mansion.

However, he didn’t go to where Lu Xiaobu and Jiang Longjun were in the parlor, but rather to the Jiang Family’s treasure vault!

...

Lu Xiaobu, at this time, was feasting in the Jiang Family’s parlor.

He couldn’t bother with anything else, eating and drinking his fill first.

At this moment, Jiang Longjun’s understanding and maturity became apparent, even though he had guessed that Lu Xiaobu might help enhance the spirit root again.

But at this moment, he showed no signs, not even trying to get closer.

He just sat gracefully to the side, accompanying Lu Xiaobu while he ate and drank, not speaking out of turn, not interfering.

Lu Xiaobu nodded slightly seeing this scene.

This guy was quite good, doing things with propriety, it seemed he made a decent judgment.

Having eaten to about seventy percent full, Lu Xiaobu finally put down his chopsticks, looked at Jiang Longjun: ”Thank you for the hospitality.”

”Mighty Benefactor, what are you saying?! Your great kindness and virtue toward me cannot be repaid by merely one meal?!” Jiang Longjun immediately said in a flustered manner.

”Come, let’s not talk about that, have a drink.” Lu Xiaobu picked up his wine glass with a smile.

”In that case, it’s better to comply with respect!” Jiang Longjun picked up his wine glass immediately, touched the rim of Lu Xiaobu’s glass, then drank it all down.

”You don’t have to wait at the door, come in now.” Lu Xiaobu put down his wine glass and said towards the door.

”Pardon me, Benefactor!” Jiang Lei heard this, walked in from behind the door, and apologized: ”I was indeed happy to see my benefactor enjoying himself, not wanting to intrude.”

”This is your home! You’re making it seem like I’m the host!” Lu Xiaobu said with a laugh.

It seemed this younger one’s style clearly inherited from the older one!

Look here, it’s his house and he’s the Family Head, yet he was waiting at the door like that.

Regardless of whether this attitude was genuine, it made people feel very comfortable.

But, it’s still necessary to give a bit of a reminder.

So, Lu Xiaobu looked at Jiang Lei playfully: ”I’ve caused you some trouble this time, huh!”

Jiang Lei looked at Lu Xiaobu’s eyes and heard his words, suddenly shocked internally!

He certainly knew that Lu Xiaobu was talking about his intentional act of currying favor.

But how did this person know?

He thought he had been flawless in his actions!

He immediately apologized: ”Benefactor, I was wrong, it was like showing off my inferior skills before an expert! Sorry! Sorry!”

His attitude was very respectful!

Because, at this moment, he realized he had underestimated this mysterious person!

A god! This is truly a god!
