The Whale in the Mountains
Chapter 139 Don't Be a Dog Anymore
Chen Xiao was dumbfounded and exclaimed, "Big brother, you came to kill me, but now you want to become my disciple?"
The young man spread his hands, saying matter-of-factly, "I wanted to kill you, but I can't beat you. What else can I do?"
What else can you do? So you join them if you can't beat them?
These young people nowadays...
Chen Xiao was too tired to retort and said helplessly, "I don't even know your name. If you want to become my disciple, you should at least introduce yourself and let me know more about you."
The young man nodded blankly and said, "Oh," before starting his introduction.
"My name is Lin Zicong. I'm twenty-five years old, one hundred and eighty-two centimeters tall, seventy kilograms, an Aries, male, and I like women..."
Chen Xiao quickly stopped him. "I asked you to introduce yourself, and this is what you say? Are you trying to become my disciple or find a date?"
Lin Zicong knew he couldn't fool him, so he told him everything.
He was a disciple of the Shuangdao Men (Twin Blades Sect).
Because he was an orphan, his master found him on the street when he was three years old and took him back to the Shuangdao Men.
Since then, he had been diligently practicing martial arts. When he turned seventeen, he started working for the Shuangdao Men.
To this day, he had experienced more than eight years of bloody battles in the martial world.
But Chen Xiao was the first person to make his mission fail.
Chen Xiao's strength had conquered him, so he wanted to become Chen Xiao's disciple.
Lin Zicong didn't seem to be lying, but Chen Xiao was very puzzled. "If what you said is true, you've lived in the Shuangdao Men since you were a child. In theory, you should have deep feelings for them. But now you want to join my sect. To be honest, I don't understand!"
Lin Zicong said with a bitter smile, "Master, you don't know..."
Chen Xiao stopped him again. "Just speak your mind, don't try to get familiar with me. Who's your master?"
Lin Zicong quickly corrected himself. "It's like this, Chen Xiao. Although the Shuangdao Men raised me and cultivated me, I've never been treated like a human being since I was a child. To be honest, I've wanted to leave the sect for a long time, but I just haven't found an opportunity."
Chen Xiao's eyes narrowed slightly, and he asked, "What kind of sect is the Shuangdao Men? Why don't they treat their disciples like human beings?"
Lin Zicong explained, "The so-called Shuangdao Men is just a group of dogs raised by the Wu family of the provincial capital. A group of dogs that only know how to bite will naturally not be treated like human beings."
Seeing Chen Xiao's confusion, he added, "The Wu family of the provincial capital is Wu Meili's (Wu Beautiful) maternal family. The Wu family doesn't completely dominate the provincial capital, but their strength can definitely rank in the top three. My master, Lin Changsheng, the master of the Shuangdao Men, is the number one lackey of the Wu family!"
Chen Xiao's face darkened, and he said with dissatisfaction, "How can you talk about your master like that? Even if you have some dissatisfaction with your master, he should at least have some kindness towards you, right?"
Lin Zicong said aggrievedly, "Chen Xiao, you don't know, Lin Changsheng is an extremely despicable and inferior person. He uses any means to achieve his goals. In order to improve his position in the Wu family, he even, even...sent me to Wu Meili..."
Speaking of this, Lin Zicong sighed deeply—
"Alas, how can I, a dignified man, be willing to be a woman's plaything? What's more, that woman is ugly as hell. I feel like throwing up just thinking about it!"
Chen Xiao's eyes lit up, and he laughed heartily.
"Hahahaha, so that's the main reason why you decided to leave the sect, right?"
Lin Zicong didn't deny it. "You haven't seen Wu Meili. If you had seen her, you would have made the same choice as me!"
Chen Xiao nodded. "I roughly understand your situation. To be honest, it's quite sympathetic. As for the matter of becoming a disciple..."
Speaking of the crucial point, Chen Xiao deliberately played it up.
Lin Zicong stared at Chen Xiao with anticipation.
Chen Xiao coughed twice to clear his throat before announcing, "I will definitely not accept you as a disciple."
In an instant, Lin Zicong's face was full of disappointment.
But he also understood that Chen Xiao was about the same age as him, but his strength was so much higher.
Such a person must be outstanding and arrogant, so naturally he would not accept him as a disciple.
After a moment, he said resolutely, "I understand, Chen Xiao. The martial world is vast, we'll meet again someday!"
As he spoke, he was about to leap into the darkness.
But Chen Xiao waved his hand and stopped him. "Wait a minute..."
Lin Zicong paused and looked at Chen Xiao in confusion.
Chen Xiao said, "Although I won't accept you as a disciple, I have a job I want to introduce to you. Do you want to do it?"
Lin Zicong's eyes lit up, and he immediately asked, "What job?"
"Bodyguard!"
Chen Xiao slowly uttered two words.
Lin Zicong instantly smiled bitterly. "Chen Xiao, don't tease me. You're much stronger than me. How can I be qualified to be your bodyguard?"
"Who said I wanted you to be my bodyguard?"
Chen Xiao rolled his eyes. "The person I want you to protect is someone else!"
In fact, Chen Xiao wanted Lin Zicong to protect his mother, Liu Zhen.
After all, he couldn't always be by his mother's side, so it was necessary to find someone to protect her in secret.
Lin Zicong understood what Chen Xiao meant, but he hesitated. "This, I may need to consider it."
Chen Xiao said nonchalantly, "What are you considering? Don't think I don't know what you're planning. Don't worry, I, Chen Xiao, will protect you from now on. If your master Lin Changqing dares to cause you trouble, I'll break his dog legs!"
Lin Zicong's handsome face turned red. He thought Chen Xiao wouldn't see through his little thoughts.
Chen Xiao asked him, "Have you thought about it? Give me an answer right away."
Lin Zicong clasped his hands and said respectfully, "This humble one is willing to serve Boss Chen."
Chen Xiao waved his hand. "Alright, alright, what humble service? Haven't you been a dog for long enough? Although you're my employee from now on, we're equal. You don't have to follow the seniority thing with me!"
Lin Zicong bowed. "I underst...no, I understand!"
Then Chen Xiao and Lin Zicong exchanged contact information. Chen Xiao told him that the person he wanted him to protect was his mother.
He immediately patted his chest to assure him, "I will definitely not fail this mission."
After explaining some things, Chen Xiao sent Lin Zicong away and then walked towards his home.
Although this Lin Zicong's strength was a bit lacking compared to him, he was definitely a tough guy in an ordinary environment.
At least his strength was no less than Qi Tianhu's, and he was young and had a lot of potential to be developed.
Chen Xiao even thought that if there was a suitable opportunity in the future, he could teach him a trick or two.
