Indestructible God King

IGK – Chapter 120.2 No Desires Means No Weakness (2/2)

A group of Golden Crow Sect cultivators scratched their heads. They could not imagine that Wang Ke had done so just to safeguard his sacrosanct underwear. The one who could decipher this based on the evidence at hand would have to be the owner of a very weird brain.

“Senior apprentice-brother, what should we do now? Should we inform our eldest apprentice-sister?” a junior asked.

“We haven’t caught him yet. We’ll only get a scolding if we tell her now.” Zhang Shenxu said.

All his juniors: “………………………..!”

“We must find Wang Ke first. This clue is better than nothing; at least we can narrow down the search area! We can guess their general direction, judging from this spot in relation to the Heavenly Wolf Sect’s position; let’s follow and search the area! Inform my sister at once if anyone finds Wang Ke!” Zhang Shenxu ordered.

“Understood!” his juniors acknowledged.

Outside the Zhu Cultivation Town—

Wang Ke and Zhang Zhengdao looked up to the sky with straw hats.

“Wang Ke, are you sure that Zhang Li’er is the one chasing after you?” Zhang Zhengdao looked at Wang Ke, still doubtful.

“Who else do you think it is then?” Wang Ke threw him a stare and asked.

“I think? I think you’re far too shameless! Slandering a beauty like her!” Zhang Zhengdao said with staring eyes.

“Bullsh*t! Me? Slandering her? Why would I do that if she didn’t do anything? I only speak based on evidence!” Wang Ke rebutted.

“Why do your words sound so fake to me?” Zhang Zhengdao said doubtfully.

“Ptooey!” Wang Ke then ignored him.

“The Zhu Cultivation Town is right up front. Do you think anyone will recognize us like this?” Zhang Zhengdao asked with a frown.

“Don’t worry, we are wearing straw hats. Look, none of the cranes flying above have recognized us! Relax! No one will recognize us!” Wang Ke said confidently.

But before Wang Ke could finish his sentence—someone shouted at them from afar, “Ahh, isn’t that Clan Lord Wang? Clan Lord Wang! You’re back?” The surprised voice came from the town’s gate.

Many eyes immediately focused on them. The sight of Wang Ke and Zhang Zhengdao immediately set off a chain reaction.

“Clan Lord Wang? Clan Lord Wang is back! Look!”

“And Immortal Zhang! Immortal Zhang Zhengdao is back too!”

“It’s real. Clan Lord Wang, Immortal Zhang, what brings you back to our Zhu Cultivation Town? Quick, quick! Come inside!”

“Clan Lord Wang…!”

……………………

…………

……

The townsfolk welcomed them heartily.

“No one would recognize us, huh?” Zhang Zhengdao said in a daze.

Wang Ke was also dumbfounded. I’m wearing a straw hat! Your eyes can shoot out X-rays?

The townsmen not only recognized him, they also became quite welcoming—

To an exaggerated degree.

“How did you recognize us?” Zhang Zhengdao asked curiously.

“Have you forgotten, Immortal Zhang? Last year, many Innate Stage workers were hired from each cultivation town during the construction of God Wang Tower. I had the fortune to be part of it! Immortal Zhang was in charge of supervising us back then. I would recognize you even if you turned to ashes! Especially with these clothes of yours!” a townsman said.

“That’s right. The faucets and water pipes were outsourced to our town’s workshops; all of the craftsmen worked together to make the products. It was a rare sight! Thank you, Clan Lord Wang, for looking after us!”

“News about God Wang Tower has already spread all over the town. Now everyone knows that our Zhu Cultivation Town was home to the talented Clan Lord Wang!”

“That’s right, that’s right! Clan Lord Wang established the God Wang Company, and everyone across the seventy-two cultivation towns knows about it! Not only do they know of God Wang Tower; they also heard about the huge number of cultivators from all across the Ten-thousand Great Mountains who went to participate in the opening ceremony!”

“I know! I saw it with my own eyes! Even the Heavenly Wolf Sect Lord and the Four Hall Lords were there to cut the inaugural ribbon for the God Wang Company!”

“Clan Lord Wang, the disciples from all the different sects have to show you some respect since you’re famous throughout the Ten-thousand Great Mountains!”

“I even heard that Clan Lord Wang is selling something called ‘insurance.’ All those immortal disciples were fighting to buy it!”

“Clan Lord Wang, we’ve followed you in business matters. Please take care of us and show some favor now that you are rich and have connections with many different immortal sects!”

“Clan Lord Wang, please come in. Please, come to my residence!”

“No, stay in my house! I will prepare the best courtyard for Clan Lord Wang!”

…………………………………

………………..

……

Wang Ke and Zhang Zhengdao were overwhelmed by the effusive townsmen.

“Does this count as returning home after a glorious success?” Wang Ke muttered in astonishment.

Zhang Zhengdao also felt doubtful. Don’t you guys know that Wang Ke is back to take your money? And yet you’re still this gullible?”

Zhu Cultivation Town! A place where a large number of cultivation clans reside. Among them were also Innate Stage cultivators from the Mortal Zone. Those residents could hardly look up confidently in front of immortal sect disciples. They too were cultivators, but they were refused by every immortal sect for some reason. They had neither good cultivation techniques nor money; they could only rely on their own strength to fight and earn their living as cultivators in the Ten-thousand Great Mountains.

Most of them could only extend their longevity, while only a few could be accepted by the immortal sects. That was why it was hard to live in a cultivation town; they had to struggle and fight for each tiny bit of benefit they could get.

And so, Wang Ke became the most successful person in the Zhu Cultivation Town. Look at him! And look at us!

Many were jealous of Wang Ke, but they still wanted to rely on him in the hopes that he could open a way for them.

Besides, Wang Ke’s debts had already been cleared! That was why no one dared to talk behind his back.

Many welcomed him warmly, but Wang Ke tactfully declined. People swarmed around him as he made his way into Gongyi Teahouse.

“Everyone! Indeed, I’m back to do business with all of you, but please allow me to rest awhile first! My sincere apologies; sorry, truly!” Wang Ke bowed toward everyone outside the establishment.

“Don’t feel sorry. We should let you rest!” many outside the gate replied courteously.

“Gongyi Teahouse will be closed for today. Sorry about that, everyone!” The teahouse’s shopkeeper also offered an apologetic bow at the crowd.

In any case, no one could pick any bones about the situation. Everyone seemed to have noticed something at the same time. Gongyi Teahouse is Wang Ke’s property?

“Baaam!”

The door was shut.

“Aiyo, I’m so tired. They are too welcoming! It makes me feel a little embarrassed!” Zhang Zhengdao sat down and gulped down a cup of tea.

“They came to welcome me, not you! Why the hell are you feeling embarrassed?” said Wang Ke, also in between sips of his tea.

“Why not me? Didn’t you hear them call me ‘Immortal Zhang’?” Zhang Zhengdao rebutted.

“They’re being this passionate because they want benefits from us. If you feel up to it, why don’t you sell them insurance plans tomorrow and see their attitude toward you?” Wang Ke said in disdain.

Zhang Zhengdao’s face froze. Make the townspeople spend money? You must be joking. Didn’t you see their eyes glowing? Those excited looks were directed at fat sheep to be slaughtered. They want to earn my money; how do I reverse that?

“But, but…!” Zhang Zhengdao said with a frown.

“There’s no free lunch in this world; there’s no favor shown without reason, neither can there be passions without agendas. You’re neither family nor close friend; it’s clear that they’re acting friendly with you according to an agenda! Remember! No desires means no weaknesses!” Wang Ke shook his head.

“No desires means no weaknesses? Damn. Why do you sound so annoying when you say this?” Zhang Zhengdao had a strange look on his face.
