Beneficial Union: Chasing A Rogue Wife

The man just released a deep breath, then sent a quick punch to Xi Jun on the stomach before Gao Lan Mei could even blink.

Despite it being quick and coming from someone who was shorter than Xi Jun, it was clearly heavy enough for him to almost fall to his knees.

"How dar..." Xi Jun felt his consciousness fading completely before he could finish his sentence, but he swore that as soon as he woke up, he would take his revenge!

Xi Jun did not fall on the ground as another man, who was tall and muscular but with a stoic face, pulled him up, hoisted up by the shoulder like it had been done multiple times. Probably that was really the case as the rest were not surprised by the action and just laughed it off like it's normal.

Gao Lan Mei raised a brow while watched with astonishment. She learnt that the drunk's name was Xi Jun, from the Xi family. That meant he was related to Xi Ma.

Comparing the two, no one would be able to guess. Xi Ma was always dutiful while Xi Jun was rebellious.

"I am sorry about that Brother Lan. He is very noisy when drunk." The man with the scar said looking at them, especially to Yin Fu as well as her.

Raising a brow, "Should I know you?" Gao Lan Mei asked amused still. 'Who is your Brother Lan? I do not remember having a chosen brother in the short while after I invented my current name.' She thought to herself. 

The man laughed it off, "Forgive me. I'm Lou Ren. I hope you don't mind me calling you Brother Lan since I do not know your whole name." Lou Ren said.

"I mind." She said dryly. "Lan Gao." Then added. Though she did not feel any danger from the man and her impression of this man was good so far, it's still a normal reaction to be skeptical sometimes.

Lou Ren twitched, fighting a frown or a smile. 'So blunt.' It was seldom he met a man that's just as tall as him so he felt a strange kinship with 'Lan Gao'. It's like being close to this merchant was the right thing to do.

He made an awkward laugh, "Heh, nice meeting you Lan Gao. Feel free to let me know if you need any help and I will make sure to come as I want to sincerely treat you as a brother." He said with sincerity while cupping his fist.

In the near future, Lou Ren would never expect that helping 'Lan Gao' would almost cost his own life and some of his subordinates, and would make them pledge their loyalty to her more than to their own master.

Nodding, the statement does not sound bad, "I accept." She said while making the same gesture with her fist.

Along the way, there were some more experts who tried to talk to her who she did not refuse but only Lou Ren had the guts and shamelessness to ask her to be his 'brother'. Mostly we're in the same group as Lan Gao, who was their current leader.

They also showed respect to Yin Fu who stayed silently observing everyone, which Gao Lan Mei understood why. Too many Immortal Domain experts in one area were very suspicious.
