Chapter 786: Chapter 786: Unable to Appreciate Kindness _1

Sha Zhaohong patted Sha Tianyang on the shoulder and said, "Tianyang, as the Captain Shao of the Shalong Gang, you will inherit the family business in the future. You must not be too benevolent like women, otherwise how will you be able to safeguard the Shalong Gang’s foundation? What does the death of a few people matter? Just compensate the families of the deceased more generously. Except for this, do you have any other ways?"

Sha Tianyang naturally understood the principle that in the world of martial arts, people can’t control their own fates.

"Go and arrange it quickly, there’s no time. Think about it, even if Master Su Chengyu’s apprentice wasn’t kidnapped by Master Lu, with Master Lu’s lustful nature, wouldn’t he also demand beautiful women for his amusement once he reaches our territory? We simply can’t refuse," said Sha Zhaohong.

With a sigh, Sha Tianyang made a choice against his will, even though he was unhappy and reluctant.

Sha Zhaohong also quickly headed towards the east building.

The Sha family’s mansion consisted of three buildings. Besides the main building they lived in, there were two more buildings on both sides. Lei Donghai resided in the west building, whereas Lu Chong and his apprentice were accommodated in the east building.

Sha Zhaohong arrived outside Lu Chong’s room and greeted him with extreme respect, "Master Lu, I apologize for not greeting you earlier upon your prestigious arrival."

Actually, power-wise, Sha Zhaohong was not below Lu Chong. Lu Chong was only in the Tongxuan Realm, while Sha Zhaohong was a Martial Saint.

However, since Lu Chong was an elder of the Shen Nong Gate, and Sha Zhaohong needed something from him, he naturally humbled himself, not daring to offend him.

"Come in," Lu Chong’s voice came from inside the room.

Only then did Sha Zhaohong enter the room. Yu Yanshu was nowhere to be found, presumably in the bedroom. Lu Chong was sitting on the sofa, with his two apprentices preparing tea for him.

"Sha Gang Leader, have you gathered all the ingredients for alchemy?" Lu Chong gestured Sha Zhaohong to sit.

"I am only missing the Muqingdai. However, there are already encouraging signs and if everything goes smoothly, we should be able to collect all the ingredients today. I had planned on notifying you, but you’re already here," said Sha Zhaohong.

"There won’t be a problem with the alchemy. Aside from the previously agreed compensation, I have another condition," said Lu Chong.

"Please speak."

"When I arrived just now, I met your daughter. I saw that she possesses exceptional talent, and is quite promising. I plan to take her as an apprentice and introduce her into the Shen Nong Gate," Lu Chong said, a glint of interest flashing in his eyes.

At these words, Sha Zhaohong’s heart suddenly tightened. Naturally, having the opportunity to join Shen Nong Gate was a good thing. As one of the Eight Gates of the Martial World, Shen Nong Gate’s influence was top tier in the cultivation world.

However, Sha Zhaohong knew what kind of man Lu Chong was. This old man had suddenly announced that he wanted to take on an apprentice, likely because he had taken a fancy to Sha Tianxiang. While he claimed to be interested in mentoring, his real motives were likely unscrupulous.

How could Sha Zhaohong willingly push his own daughter into the fire pit?

"It’s an honor for my daughter to receive Master Lu’s favor. However, my daughter is spoiled and stubborn. I fear that she may offend Master Lu with her unruly behavior. She doesn’t have the fortune to be your apprentice," Sha Zhaohong tactfully declined.

"Sha Gang Leader, my master doesn’t easily take apprentices. You have no idea how many people have begged to be his apprentice, only for him to dismiss them. Don’t be ungrateful," said one of Lu Chong’s apprentices.

A icy glare flashed in Sha Zhaohong’s eyes. If it wasn’t for the fact that he needed something from Lu Chong, this youngster who dared to speak to him, a formidable Martial Saint in such a way, would have instantly lost his life from a slap.

However, at the moment, Sha Zhaohong could only bear the humiliation, daring not to lose his temper.

"Naughtiness and stubbornness won’t matter. She can be patiently disciplined," Lu Chong, who didn’t bother to interrupt his apprentice, also spoke up with an air of arrogance.

"You’re right, Master Lu. I will discuss this matter with my daughter and see if she is willing," Sha Zhaohong said, smiling on the outside but cursing on the inside. He had come to rescue Yu Yanshu but before he could speak, his own daughter was already being dragged into the mess.

"What is there to discuss? It would be her good fortune to be taken as an apprentice. Besides, this is partly a condition for your alchemy request, not a discussion," Lu Chong’s apprentice, Li Yue, spoke again.

Despite needing something from Lu Chong, Sha Zhaohong remained a Martial Saint and valued his dignity. His face darkened, revealing a hint of anger, "Master Lu, your apprentice, he seems to have too much to say."

Li Yue was about to retort when Lu Chong raised his hand to stop him. He calmly said, "So, Sha Gang Leader, you go discuss this matter first. I’ll be waiting for your answer. I believe you won’t disappoint me."

"Master Lu, actually, I have a matter I want to discuss with you."

After thinking for a while, Sha Zhaohong finally decided to speak up, hoping that he could at least save Yu Yanshu.

"Go ahead," said Lu Chong, sipping his tea.

"I heard that Master Lu has captured a young girl?"

Lu Chong didn’t hide it and nodded. Sha Zhaohong continued, "To be honest, this girl is the daughter of my sworn brother. My brother died saving me, leaving his daughter under my care, but now she’s been caught by you. Therefore, I hope Master Lu could have mercy and let her go."

Lu Chong put down his teacup, looked at Sha Zhaohong, and said, "She and I are fated. I want to pass on the cultivation technique to her."

"Master Lu, this girl has lived a hard life. I hope you can spare her for my sake. Otherwise, I’ll feel guilty towards her father. I will arrange several young and beautiful girls for you right away, ensuring your satisfaction," said Sha Zhaohong.

"The vulgar girls you find, how can they compare to her? Even if you found ten of those girls, they couldn’t match her. Since she has fallen into my hands, it’s fate. There’s no way I’m letting her go."

Lu Chong didn’t cover up his intentions and directly expressed his attitude.

"Master Lu, you...."

Lu Chong aggressively slapped the table, anger flashing across his face, "Sha Zhaohong, don’t you understand me? I’ve decided about this girl. As for taking your daughter as my apprentice, it’s negotiable. If you continue to be ungrateful, don’t come to me to refine the Green Jade Rejuvenation Pill."

"Don’t forget about your wound. Without the Green Jade Rejuvenation Pill, I’m afraid you won’t live past a year and a half."

Sha Zhaohong’s mouth twitched. Seeing Lu Chong’s anger, he couldn’t say anything else. If he truly angered Lu Chong, he wouldn’t only be unable to save anyone, even his own life would be thrown in jeopardy.

When you’re under someone’s roof, you have to lower your head. Even though Sha Zhaohong was filled with anger, he had to bury it and bear the humiliation.

"You should rest, I will take my leave."

Sha Zhaohong stood up and left the room, hearing Li Yue say behind him, "He doesn’t know what’s good for him. The Shalong Gang is nothing in front of our Shen Nong Gate, not worth a fart."

Sha Zhaohong clenched his fist, murderous intent filling his eyes. As a dignified Martial Saint, he was now being insulted behind his back by a man in the Martial Marquis Realm. He was so angry he was about to explode.

Sha Zhaohong returned to his study, where both Sha Tianyang and Sha Tianxiang were waiting. Seeing Sha Zhaohong’s dark expression, Sha Tianyang knew that things were likely to be disastrous!
