Indestructible God King - Chapter 106.1
Chapter 106.1 Are You Trying To Woo Me? (1/2)
Zhang Shenxu suddenly felt that all his money was gone for good after hearing Wang Ke’s explanation. Now they even owed Wang Ke money!
“Wang Ke, you insist on not giving us back our possessions?” Zhang Shenxu questioned furiously.
The group of Golden Crow Sect disciples readied their weapons. Zhang Zhengdao noticed this and felt trouble looming. Are they going to start a fight?
“What’s this? What are you guys trying to do?” a woman reprimanded them.
Her words lightened the tense atmosphere.
“Hmm?” Everyone turned to look at the woman.
That woman was Zhang Li’er, the eldest senior apprentice-sister of the Golden Crow Sect, who had remained quiet for quite some time. Although she was nicknamed “She-robber,” she had an exquisitely beautiful look; the flaming red clothing she wore reflected her fiery temper. Although she was wearing a loose cultivation robe, her attractive figure couldn’t be hidden.
“Sis, did you hear him? He’s not going to return our things!” Zhang Shenxu complained to her.
Wang Ke looked over and said, “Ohh, here’s the Golden Crow Sect’s eldest senior apprentice-sister! Please forgive me for not noticing you just now!”
“Wang Ke, am I that unattractive that you only realize I’m here?” Zhang Li’er said with a smile.
“Uhh?” Wang Ke was a little taken aback. He glanced at Zhang Zhengdao.
Isn’t this Zhang Li’er the She-robber you mentioned? Why is she talking to me in such a gentle way? Is she trying to woo me?
Zhang Zhengdao was also in a daze.
“Sis, why are you so courteous to Wang Ke?” Zhang Shenxu was just as confused.
“Courteous? Humph. Wang Ke saved your life, but here you are, repaying kindness with hate. It would bring great shame to all our sect’s disciples if news about this would spread out!” Zhang Li’er rebuked him.
“Uhh?” Wang Ke looked at Zhang Li’er, feeling lost.
What the hell is happening? Good cop, bad cop? Trying to trick me out of my money? Puh-lease! It’s not like I haven’t used the same method before. If you don’t believe me, I will lay flat on the ground before you right now and ask my Revered Teacher to stand as judge!
“Sis, aren’t you…!” Zhang Shenxu stuttered in shock.
“‘Sis’ your head! I will beat you up if you speak like that again!” Zhang Li’er stared at him.
“I…!” Zhang Shenxu was speechless for a moment.
Has my sister lost her mind? Didn’t we agree that I would cause a ruckus at God Wang Tower? And yet you are blaming me now?
“Zhang Li’er, what are you…?” Wang Ke frowned warily.
“Wang Ke, my younger brother is too childish; he’s been spoiled by our family. Please don’t take it to heart. The way you spoke about the possessions they lost is also correct. Zhu Hongyi was the one who took their things, and it has nothing to do with you!” Zhang Li’er said earnestly.
Wang Ke continued to observe Zhang Li’er with eyes full of suspicion. The script seems off… Aren’t you going for the good cop, bad cop strategy?
“Those ignorant are not to be blamed. If everyone were as reasonable as you, the world would be a much better place!” Wang Ke went with the flow and nodded.
“Thanks for the compliment, brother Wang!” Zhang Li’er said with an amiable smile.
“Sis? Why are you calling him ‘brother’? He’s not worthy…!” Zhang Shenxu complained, utterly frustrated.
“Shut up. Don’t butt in when adults are talking!” Zhang Li’er rebuked him with a stare.
Zhang Shenxu’s jaw dropped, lost for words. Is she going through a hysterical fit?
Meanwhile, Wang Ke was looking at Zhang Zhengdao. This isn’t right; this isn’t the Zhang Li’er you described to me!
“Zhang Li’er, what brings you here today…?” Wang Ke asked out of curiosity.
“We are here to express our gratitude! Thank you for rescuing my brother and his juniors back in the Zhu Cultivation Town!” Zhang Li’er explained.
“Oh? Is that so?” Wang Ke asked doubtfully.
Your attitude just now doesn’t seem like you’re here to thank me!
“Yeah, I’ve taken a look at your God Wang Tower. It’s only operated by ordinary people, while the Heavenly Wolf Sect disciples only pass by here on occasion. That won’t do! What if someone comes to stir up trouble, wouldn’t that destroy the building? Especially when the opening ceremony is drawing near, more and more people will show up. It is paramount to have people guarding the place!” Zhang Li’er said as she looked up at the luxurious God Wang Tower.
“My sect disciples need to cultivate, so I can’t disrupt them for too long. Even so, I will get some of my senior apprentice-brothers to help when the time comes!” Wang Ke replied, still doubtful.
Someone coming to cause trouble? Aren’t you describing yourselves? The pot calling the kettle black!
“That won’t do!” Zhang Li’er replied, “Mister Wang is my brother and his junior’s savior. How can I just watch while someone comes to make trouble? That’s why I’ve made a decision. My brother and his juniors need to repay your favor. So, they will be in charge of maintaining order in God Wang Tower on your behalf, from now until the opening ceremony; we must not let some rascals disrupt the opening ceremony! Please take this as a token of our gratitude. You must say yes, please!”
“Sis?” Zhang Shenxu called out reluctantly.
“Shut up!” Zhang Li’er threw him a stare before turning her eyes back to Wang Ke.
“Security guards? You want to act as security guards for God Wang Tower?” Wang Ke was surprised.
What kind of maneuver is this? You were trying to scalp me just now, and now you’re willing to become my security detail? What is it that you want?
“Security guards? To secure and guard the tower? What a good name! So, brother Wang, what do you think? Please, you must agree! Don’t overlook our grateful hearts!” Zhang Li’er said with a smile.
Wang Ke: “……………………..!”
Zhang Zhengdao quickly walked up to Wang Ke’s side and whispered, “Careful. This might be a trap!”
“Zhang Zhengdao, what did you just say? Do you think I can’t hear you? The Golden Crow Sect is fair and just, and I’m here today to repay Wang Ke’s kindness. Why are you trying to put a wedge between us? Are you trying to slander our Golden Crow Sect? Shall we talk one to one?” Zhang Li’er asked Zhang Li’er with staring eyes.
Talk one to one? Do you think I’m crazy? You’d beat me up if we do that! Zhang Zhengdao backed off and stopped talking.
“Brother Wang, what do you say?” Zhang Li’er asked, smiling at Wang Ke.
Meanwhile—Zhang Shenxu and his juniors showed their reluctance, but none dared to object, knowing Zhang Li’er unrelenting ways.
“Hmm, to be security guards for God Wang Tower? Sure. But they don’t seem to be willing, from the looks I see in brother Shenxu and his juniors,” said Wang Ke while frowning.
Zhang Shenxu threw Wang Ke a stare. Willing your *ss! Who would want to be your security guard?
“Don’t worry; their minds are too muddled right now. I will convince them! So, can we assume that brother Wang has agreed?” Zhang Li’er asked for confirmation.
Wang Ke looked at Zhang Li’er with suspicion. She had beautiful looks, but he had a feeling that something was off. His recent experiences led him to believe one thing: the more beautiful a woman is, the more capable she is at sabotaging.
Princess Youyue was an example; Zhang Li’er wasn’t far behind.
But they will surely stir up trouble from some other angle if I don’t agree… Why don’t I have them stay put first?
“Zhang Li’er, if your willingness is real, I can let you try under two conditions!” Wang Ke said.
“Oh?” Zhang Li’er was waiting for him to continue.
Wang Ke raised the first condition, still frowning, “First, you can work as security guards for God Wang Tower, but you must abide by the tower’s rules and regulations! You must obey all orders from your superiors and cannot do as you please just because you’re more powerful!”
“That’s for sure!” said Zhang Li’er, “They will only be here to repay your favor; they won’t cause any trouble!”
“Second, since the Golden Crow Sect has shown such sincerity, I would like to invite you, Zhang Li’er, to also attend the opening ceremony. I would ask you to cut the ceremonial ribbons alongside my Revered Teacher and the Hall Lords!” Wang Ke said.
