Under One Person: One Person Goes

Chapter 71: All the feasts in the world come to an end
(Thanks to fellow reader Li Xian from World of Warcraft for the 10,000 starting coins reward!)

Beijing, Quanjude.

At that time, Quanjude's signboard was still very valuable. At least for Wang Yi, who had only been to Beijing three times in his two lifetimes, this was indeed his first time to check in and eat here.

The place is good, the food is good, and the two who invited him to dinner...

"Brother Wang, you have to come here often. Come here next time and tell me your name. The owner will put the bill on my side. Come, come, try this."

Zhu Qianlong handed the rolled duck meat and side dishes to Wang Yi, and was so enthusiastic as if he was an elder brother that Wang Yi had not seen for many years.

"Director Zhu, you are being biased. Brother Wang is a big shot now, right? The Yiguan Dao sect has changed its name to Wang. Do you think Brother Wang can afford the duck meal at Quanjude?"

"Oh my, my, I was so happy that I almost forgot about it."

"You are so careless. I will punish you by drinking three cups."

"Three cups, three cups."

In the private room, Lan Qingfeng and Zhu Qianlong, who were meeting for the first time, were two big figures in the capital who had powerful backers behind them. They were testing each other with Wang Yi as a lead. Wang Yi was also smiling as he ate the duck meat rolled for him, dipped it in the sauce, and looked at the two smart guys.

Looking at these two smart guys and the way they addressed each other, Wang Yi sometimes wondered if he had come to a world not belonging to Under One Person, but a comprehensive world of movies mixed with prototypes of stories from the Republic of China.

But later, as his horizons broadened and he encountered more strange people and schools, Wang Yi felt that he was worrying too much.

Whether it was the ones he had met in Pucheng before, or the Zhu Qianlong in front of him and Li Tianran who was temporarily hiding in Mr. Lan’s house, the extraordinary kung fu and the ability to fly over eaves and walls that they showed in film and television works, could be called extraordinary people in this world where extraordinary people exist.

Just like what Mr. Lan said to Li Tianran, 'I am not you, I can't fly!'

Their stories are important but not insignificant in this era. They just happened to happen to happen.

"Hmm? Brother Wang, you can't drink, right?" Mr. Lan and Zhu Qianlong were polite and testing each other. One of them drank three cups as a punishment, and the other drank three cups with Wang Yi. Then they saw that the wine in front of Wang Yi was not touched at all, which gave them the opportunity to make a fuss.

"It's not that I can't drink, but I'm afraid that if I raise my glass suddenly, it will ruin your mood."

As he spoke, Wang Yi drank the wine in the glass and showed the bottom of the glass to the two men.

After the first round of the banquet, the three people seemed to be fine, but they each stated their position.

In the second round, Zhu Qianlong took the lead.

"Brother Wang, when I saw you, I thought of when I was young and was driven out by my master to venture into the martial arts world. I was about the same age as you, and I also wanted to do something big before coming back to see the old master. I never thought that when I was ready to come back to see the old master after I had done something big, he would be murdered by my junior fellow apprentice Li Tianran! This beast! My master raised him with great difficulty and even planned to marry his daughter to him. How dare he do that! Woo woo woo..."

"Ah? You're already acting now? You know your master raised you with great care? You know you're a beast, too?"

Although they are two similar but different characters, Wang Yi still has to say that it is a good thing that the little things about you in my previous life have been engraved into my DNA, otherwise I would have been easily fooled by you. Look at the bulging veins, no one would believe that there is no deep hatred.

"Director Zhu, I express my condolences."

Just as Wang Yi was about to pat the shoulder of this drunken man who was acting and remembering his mentor, this guy took the opportunity to grab Wang Yi's hand with a drunken look on his face.

"So, Brother Wang, you handled this matter very smoothly yesterday, and you handled this matter even more openly today! First, you got rid of the black sheep of Yiguan Taoism in the capital, and then you invited Mr. Qin, who saved your life, to come and take charge. You directly handed over the kingdom you conquered from Yiguan Taoism to this person. I envy you! I will make it clear to you today. I will deal with the people behind Yiguan Taoism!"

"The Japanese intelligence behind you is quite efficient. You guys have been able to find out even this little bit of my past. Tsk!"

Listening to Zhu Qianlong's seemingly drunken words, how could Wang Yi not understand the hidden meaning behind his words? However, at this time, even if he knew it, he had to pretend not to know.

"Director Zhu, you are being too polite. It is the duty of practitioners like me to be chivalrous and righteous. The I-Kuan Taoism is relying on its half-baked cultivation to cheat people. It's their bad luck that they cheated me. Why don't they dare to cheat you, Director Zhu? Isn't it because they know that cheating you will lead to death? As for the people behind the I-Kuan Taoism, Director Zhu, this is the capital, under the feet of the emperor, they dare not act recklessly, not to mention that you, the upright director of the Beijing Police Department, are in charge."

"It's for one district, not the whole city."

"He's from the same district, and he's also a well-known police chief!"

Seeing that Wang Yi and Zhu Qianlong were having a passionate time, Mr. Lan couldn't bear to be left out and joined in.

"With a good man like Brother Wang to intimidate the streets, I think the security in the capital will be much better under Director Zhu. But there is a problem here, I want to ask Brother Wang." "Mr. Lan, please go ahead."

"It's like this. The I-Kuan Taoism is a fraud. You've messed with them because they offended you. No problem. You can let Yan Wu Tang and others to re-manage and divide the I-Kuan Taoism's territory. That's fine too. But in this case, what about you, Brother Wang? You won't just take a house, some of the servants they left behind, and then just sit back and collect the rent, right?"

"Isn't this enough, Mr. Lan? How many people spend their lives just trying to have enough food, clothing and a safe place to live. I have a house, money and people, and I have everything ready. From now on, I will stay at home and practice well on weekdays. If Director Zhu or Mr. Lan need my help, they can just send someone to tell me."

'It's our business to say it, but whether or not to come is your business, right?'

Zhu Qianlong and Mr. Lan also understood the hidden meaning of Wang Yi's words. He made it clear that as long as my life is good, that's enough. Whoever makes my life difficult in the future, I will make them suffer as well.

"Haha, of course, of course. We can also see your profound skills and magic methods, Brother Wang."

"It's not even close to being a mysterious skill or a magic trick. My mediocre skills are not worthy of being accepted by the elite."

Two middle-aged men in their thirties and a young man who had just turned twenty were drinking and chatting in the box. Both the host and the guests were having a great time. Before the end of the dinner, they also exchanged views with each other and fully retained their own opinions.

After the dinner, Wang Yi, carrying the packed duck, beef and other side dishes, watched the two men's car drive away, and then he cursed under his breath.

"Old fox!"

"Little bastard!"

Inside the car, Mr. Lan and Director Zhu both spoke in unison about their evaluation of the young man Wang Yi.

It was clear that they were not going to be persuaded by anything, and they just wanted to stay in the territory of Yi Guan Taoism. The three of them knew that Wang Yi was fooling them, and Wang Yi also knew that they knew he was fooling them, but they still had to cooperate with him happily, because in this capital, if he really wanted to deal with someone, everyone would have to sleep with their eyes open at night!
Therefore, the temptation of these two villains and their backers has come to an end.

After dealing with these two villains, Wang Yi wiped the sweat from his forehead and let out a breath.

"Damn, I feel like a lot of brain cells have died. I'm hungry again. Boss, pack me another serving of roast duck!"

By the time Wang Yi returned with the packaged roast duck and beef, Master Qin, who was invited by Wang Yi to take charge, had already finished discussing with all parties.

People from Jishidiang started to provide free medical consultations in the territory that was previously occupied by I-Kuan Taoism, treating minor illnesses and providing fortune-telling for major illnesses.

After all, it is a free clinic, you cannot expect Jishidiang to cure everyone, but even for such a free clinic, for ordinary people living in this world, Jishidiang is a conscientious pharmacy.

Yanwu Hall and Jiyun Club provided quotas. Although the top leaders of these two forces were full of extraordinary people, they still had to rely on the outer sects, the martial arts schools and the lower-class craftsmen who depended on them to maintain their business. These trades were most in need of people, but they also had no shortage of ways to make money. As long as you had some strength, you could always make a living.

If you want to make a living and save some wealth, you can go to Yanwu Hall and Jiyun Society. They have opened halls in the original territory of I-Kuan Taoism, so you don't have to worry about not finding the way.

The Baiyun Temple is the simplest. Send a few Taoist priests with high Taoism skills to give a talk. There is no need to do anything else. Just use some tricks to break the tricks that Yiguan Taoism used to deceive the common people. Use the Quanzhen lineage of the Baiyun Temple as your mouth to walk around the streets and alleys in the capital and thoroughly prove the fact that Yiguan Taoism is a cult!
In this way, even if I-Kuan Taoism takes advantage of the national crisis to reappear on the market in the future, with the precedent of what happened in the capital, fewer people will be deceived.

As for the benefits, it is said that people fight for a breath and Buddhas fight for a stick of incense.

If the I-Kuan Taoism loses its incense, won't your Baiyun Temple have more incense? You, Baiyun Temple, should understand things like the long-term benefits of a steady stream of income.

Jianghu Inn is even simpler, they just need to open a restaurant here. They don’t just do business with the extraordinary world, they have to do business with the secular world as well, otherwise where can they eat.

As for Wang Yi himself, he also made it very clear that he doesn't need the territory that Yiguan Taoism has been operating for these years, and he will divide it for you, but you have to pay the rent every month. If you occasionally go to the territory you manage to consume, you can give some discounts, just don't try to fool people, the requirements are not too high, that's all.

No one thinks that Wang Yi's request is excessive. As for the rent, it doesn't matter who he gives it to. Not to mention that the forces behind these forces are either from extraordinary families or extraordinary sects, and they all know your name, Wang Yi.

No one would be so blind as to offend a future leader of the alien world in this regard.

It can be said that in October of the 15th year of the Republic of China, as Wang Yi uprooted this branch of the I-Kuan Taoism that had taken root in the capital but had not yet flourished, Wang Yi also lived the life of an authentic Beijing landlord in the capital of the 15th year of the Republic of China.

And on such a rare happy day, it was time for Lu Guangda, the descendant of the famous Lu family and the future pillar of the country, to study abroad.
