Steam Era: The Lord of 'Puluo'

Chapter 1043 551: Cleansing Heart Technique (4)

What's the Old Man fond of these things for? Just to use them as toys?

If not for play, but for researching the Craftsmanship Method, even two of them should be enough.

It's not easy to find an Inner State spy, so Li Banfeng could only brush it off with, "Don't worry, Old Man, I'll certainly keep an eye out."

Having said that, Li Banfeng left the Portable Residence and picked up Wang Zimian's right hand from the ground.

On his right hand were three rings and a thumb ring. Holding this hand, Li Banfeng walked out of the secret chamber and into the hall.

A crowd at the entrance was still waiting to go to battle with Wang Zimian. Seeing this hand, everyone was frightened out of their wits.

Li Banfeng glanced over the crowd and asked, "Who among you is the manager?"

No one spoke, so Li Banfeng frowned and said, "I'm asking again, who is the manager?"

The crowd looked towards Wang Zimian's housekeeper.

The housekeeper shook his head continuously and said, "Why are you all looking at me? We're all working for the Old Ancestor, I'm not any manager!"

Li Banfeng looked at the housekeeper and said, "You lead the way."

The housekeeper pursed his lips and said, "I'm really not..."

Li Banfeng twitched an eye, and the housekeeper caved in, leading Li Banfeng out of the house.

The entire way, the housekeeper grumbled.

What's going on?

When did the Old Ancestor's house ever produce cowards? Why is everyone such a coward today?

...

On the street, Feng Daiku and Ma Wu were still in a standoff with a group of people.

The group was imposing, very loud, especially Kong Baofen, who kept clamoring to lead the charge but never made a move.

But if Feng Daiku and Ma Wu recklessly tried to break through, these people definitely wouldn't let them leave.

Worker Xiao Liu delivered the blueprints and was on his way back when Kong Baofen shouted, "Xiao Liu, come here, show them the spirit of us young people!"

Xiao Liu still didn't understand the situation when he was pulled into the crowd by Kong Baofen, placed in the front row, less than ten meters from Feng Daiku.

Kong Baofen said to Xiao Liu, "Xiao Liu, I wasn't wrong about you. You're hardworking and brave. With young people like you in the factory, I'm genuinely proud of you!

I brought you to Sleepless Town, and I believe my choice is right. Even if we lose our lives, we cannot lose our dignity. These two have disgraced our Old Ancestor, and we absolutely cannot let them off!"

Who are these two people...

Encouraged by Kong Baofen, Xiao Liu's fighting spirit surged, but he truly didn't know what the situation was in front of him.

Someone on the opposite side shouted, "The big manager has arrived!"

Kong Baofen shouted loudly, "The Old Ancestor is here, let's fight them!"

Another person on the opposite side shouted, "The Old Ancestor isn't here."

Kong Baofen continued to shout, "Let's not be hasty, don't let them escape!"

"Your Old Ancestor is indeed here," Li Banfeng walked up to Feng Daiku and Ma Wu, raising Wang Zimian's right hand, "The person isn't here, but the hand is."

The noisy crowd instantly fell silent, even Feng Daiku and Ma Wu didn't know what was happening in front of them.

Where did Li Qi just go?

Whose hand is this?

Could it be Wang Zimian's hand?

They weren't too familiar with this hand, but the people of Sleepless Town were very familiar.

They recognized the rings on that hand; even if they didn't recognize the rings, they recognized the thumb ring.

That thumb ring could be exchanged for two factories, everyone knew this.

Li Banfeng scanned the crowd and said, "Wang Zimian is injured; he needs to go elsewhere to recuperate, and he might not be able to return to Sleepless Town,

Before leaving, he entrusted me with something. He said the Mianxiu in town are all his fellow disciples, and he entrusted me to take care of you properly,

So, I'm asking you, who among you is a Mianxiu?"

No one spoke; no one knew what Li Banfeng's purpose was for seeking the Mianxiu.

Li Banfeng smiled at Kong Baofen and said, "If you're not a Mianxiu, I can't take care of you. If I can't take care of you, if anything happens in the future, it's hard to say."

Deceiving hundreds of people, Li Banfeng temporarily didn't have that ability.

Deceiving this one, that wasn't a big problem.

Kong Baofen was frightened.

If you're not a Mianxiu, you won't be taken care of; what does that mean?

Does it mean if you're not a Mianxiu, you have to be killed?

Kong Baofen quickly stood out from the crowd, "I'm a Mianxiu."

With her leading, the matter became much easier.

Over twenty Mianxiu gradually emerged from the crowd; there really were quite a few cultivators of this Taoist Sect.

Li Banfeng looked at the crowd and said, "Are there any who haven't arrived? If not, it doesn't matter, please convey a message to them for me. I'm giving you one day to leave Sleepless Town immediately, and never return in the future,

After a day, if there are still Mianxiu who don't want to leave, I will have to send them away myself. Did you all hear clearly?"

The Mianxiu were all bewildered.

Kong Baofen suddenly realized something was amiss, shouting, "Why are you driving us away? We are the masters of the town! Without a word from the Old Ancestor, we're not going anywhere."

Li Banfeng looked at Ma Wu, "Old Five, I don't want to take care of her, I'll leave her to you."

Ma Wu nodded and stared at Kong Baofen for a while.

Feng Daiku thought Ma Wu wanted to recruit Kong Baofen, but she misunderstood. Ma Wu found people like Kong Baofen disgusting.

Kong Baofen shivered, the blood rushed to her head, and blood began to flow from her eyes and nostrils.

She wanted to encourage others to charge together, but unfortunately, under the Technique, her speech was not smooth.

"Spare, spare me!" At the brink of life and death, Kong Baofen managed to squeeze out two words.

Ma Wu laughed, "Don't beg for mercy, so many people are watching, if you're so afraid of dying, what would others think? You were just clamoring to lead the charge, and now you're begging for mercy, how will you Mianxiu save face in the future?"
