Chapter 16

Hidden Dragon Guard

Zhuo Wen was a little surprised as he looked at the respectful Liu Tao in front of him. He didn't expect that the Outer Court's General Manager that Manager Chen mentioned would be so respectful towards him. It was obvious that this person had heard about his performance at the Martial Arts Practice Field.

"That's quite rare. You're quite well-informed as an Outer Court person!" Zhuowen said meaningfully.

"Young Master Zhuowen defeated the strongest disciple in the Martial Arts Practice Field, Zhuo Leng. Moreover, he defeated the Martial Arts Practice Field instructor with a single move!

Even the Inner Court's Zhuo Family's Second Master suffered a loss at the hands of Young Master Zhuowen. I was coincidentally at the Martial Arts Practice Field at that time! "

"Right now, Young Master Zhuo Wen is already the most popular person in the entire Zhuo Family. If this lowly one still can't recognize Young Master Zhuo, this lowly one would really be blind!" Liu Tao tried his best to lower his posture as he spoke in an abnormally respectful tone.

Once Liu Tao's words left his mouth, the entire courtyard quietened down. Manager Chen, who was originally struggling in Zhuowen's hands, was also stunned.

Although Manager Chen was only a small manager, his knowledge was extraordinary. He had a deep impression of Zhuo Leng from the Martial Arts Practice Field.

Zhuo Leng was known as the strongest man in the Martial Arts Practice Field. His strength had already reached the peak of the Qi Refinement Realm. It was said that he was only a step away from the Divine Valor Realm. Once he reached the Divine Valor Realm, he would become a core disciple of the Zhuo Family's Inner Court and his status would rise.

However, such a young expert with such a high cultivation was actually defeated by this good-for-nothing Young Master. This made Manager Chen even more shocked.

What made Manager Chen even more incredulous was that even the Martial Arts Practice Field instructor, whose strength was much higher than Zhuowen's, was defeated by Zhuowen in a single move. Moreover, from Liu Tao's words, he could faintly tell that the Inner Court's Second Master, who had great power and influence, had suffered a loss at the hands of Zhuowen.

At this moment, Manager Chen finally realized how terrifying the Young Master in front of him was. He knew that this time, he had provoked someone he should not have provoked.

"Young Master Zhuowen!

I beg you, please don't kill me. What happened just now was because I was bewitched by this bitch. I had eyes but failed to see and listened to this bitch's words. I actually tried to hurt you, Young Master! "

Manager Chen saw that something was amiss and hurriedly pushed all the blame to the servant girl, Lin 'er, who was not far away.

At this moment, Lin 'er's face was ghastly pale. When she saw the Outer Court's Head Steward Liu Tao acting so respectfully in front of Zhuowen, she knew that Zhuowen might have really turned over a new leaf. Thinking of her fierce words and actions just now, Lin' er felt a burst of unease in her heart.

She was afraid that Zhuowen would take revenge on her because of this. After all, it seemed that Zhuowen's position in the family had become extraordinary. Killing a lowly servant girl like her was as easy as flipping his hand.

Liu Tao glanced coldly at the frightened Manager Chen and said respectfully, "Young Master, please don't worry about me.

How did this person offend you? "

"They're just ants who don't know the difference between life and death. These two people spoke rudely to me and even wanted to harm me!

Head Steward Liu should know what to do, right? "

Zhuowen glanced indifferently at Manager Chen and Lin 'er. He casually threw Manager Chen to the ground and looked straight at Liu Tao.

"These two servants are actually so audacious. Young Master Zhuowen is now an honorable core disciple. You actually have ill intentions towards him. Men!

Drag these two people down and lock them in the underground dungeon! "

Liu Tao was shocked. Then, he stared coldly at Manager Chen and Lin 'er, who were at a loss. In his heart, he scolded them for being stupid. They could have provoked anyone, but they had to provoke this vicious and merciless master. Liu Tao had personally witnessed Zhuowen's cruel methods in the martial arts practice field. The scene of Zhuowen crippling Zhuo Wu's arms was still vivid in his mind.

"Head Steward Liu!

Spare us, please don't lock us in the underground dungeon!

Otherwise, we'll die! "

When Manager Chen and Lin 'er heard the words' underground dungeon ', their faces turned pale.

The underground dungeon was famous in the outer court. There was nothing in the dungeon, and it was pitch black. The people who were locked in there had either gone mad or committed suicide. It could be said that the prisoners in there were worse off than death.

"You can only blame yourselves for not knowing how to appreciate kindness. You actually offended Young Master Zhuowen. Young Master Zhuowen is already merciful for not killing you on the spot!"

Liu Tao snorted coldly. Then, he immediately ordered his subordinates behind him to take the two people away.

After dealing with the two people, Liu Tao came to Zhuowen with a flattering smile and said, "Young Master Zhuowen!

I wonder if you're satisfied with how I've handled it? "

Zhuowen nodded lightly. The corner of his mouth revealed a trace of a smile. Liu Tao was being so respectful to him. It was obvious that he was returning the favor. Zhuowen's status in the family had risen sharply. In a short period of time, he had become a popular genius in the family.

As long as such a person didn't fall, he would definitely have a place in the family in the future. Liu Tao obviously saw the potential and opportunity in Zhuowen. Therefore, he treated Zhuowen with all his heart. In fact, his goal was to build a good relationship with Zhuowen so that he could do things in the family in the future.

Zhuowen didn't care about Liu Tao's intentions. After all, people wanted to climb up and water flowed down. Who didn't want to have a meteoric rise and stand out?

Although Liu Tao, the manager of the outer court, didn't have much influence in the inner court, he was like a local tyrant in the outer court. More importantly, Liu Tao had a large number of subordinates. Although they were all servants with low strength, they were still a force that couldn't be underestimated.

Moreover, Zhuowen heard that the people of the outer court were very well-informed. Zhuowen just happened to need someone to collect information for him. Now, although Zhuowen relied on his own talent to stand firm in the family, Zhuowen didn't have a force he could trust. Moreover, in the inner court, his second uncle was watching covetously from the shadows.

It was absolutely necessary to establish a force that he could trust. Otherwise, even if he was extremely strong, it would be difficult for two fists to fight against four hands.

Liu Tao was the manager of the outer court. He had many subordinates. Moreover, he was very scheming and very astute. Zhuowen just happened to lack such a character.

After pondering for a while, Zhuowen looked at Liu Tao with a smile and said, "Liu Tao!

Are you interested in becoming the manager of the Veiled Dragon Pavilion? "

Hearing this, Liu Tao's face suddenly revealed an expression of ecstasy. He quickly bowed and said with a slightly trembling mouth, "Liu Tao is willing to become the manager of the Veiled Dragon Pavilion. I hope this little one can solve young master's problems in the future!"

Liu Tao had been waiting for Zhuowen to say these words. Originally, Liu Tao kept lowering his status in order to gain Zhuowen's favor. It would be best if Zhuowen could put him in an important position.

Although Liu Tao's power in the outer court was monstrous and could cover the sky with one hand, it was only in the outer court. Once he entered the inner court, he wouldn't dare to be so arrogant.

Now that he suddenly became the manager of the Veiled Dragon Pavilion, he didn't have to be so careful in the inner court like before.

The Veiled Dragon Pavilion was one of the top five pavilions in the inner court. Not only were there many pavilions, but it was also said that there was a team of a hundred guards. It could be said that the Veiled Dragon Pavilion itself was not a weak force in the inner court.

"I hope you can do so. If this young master finds out that you have any thoughts of betrayal, I don't need to say what will happen to you!"

Zhuowen's mouth revealed a trace of a cold smile as he indifferently looked at Liu Tao.

Liu Tao looked at Zhuowen's cold eyes and couldn't help but think of the cruel methods that Zhuowen showed in the martial arts field. He couldn't help but shiver and quickly said, "This little one absolutely wouldn't dare. Young master, rest assured!"

"Good!

As long as you show enough loyalty, there will be many benefits for you in the future. Now, send some people to my residence to clean it up. We will go to the Veiled Dragon Pavilion now! "Zhuowen flicked his sleeves and left with Chun Er.

Liu Tao respectfully responded and then began to send his subordinates to Zhuowen's shabby residence to clean it up.

It had to be said that Liu Tao's efficiency was very high. In about a quarter of an hour, Zhuowen's residence was actually cleaned up. Then, he swaggered into the inner court with a group of people.

Along the way, Zhuowen relied on the clan token in his hand to smoothly enter the inner court. After seeing the clan token in Zhuowen's hand, the guards of the inner court revealed a look of awe.

When Liu Tao first saw the clan token in Zhuowen's hand, his face also revealed a look of shock. The clan token was the personal token of the current head of the family, Zhuo Xiangding. He didn't expect that the head of the family would give such an important thing to Zhuowen. It could be seen how much importance the head of the family valued Zhuowen.

Therefore, Liu Tao was even more determined to follow Zhuowen. He knew that the young man in front of him definitely had a boundless future.

On the other hand, Chun Er was very curious. Along the way, she looked around with an excited smile on her face.

When the group finally arrived in front of the Veiled Dragon Pavilion, everyone was stunned. Zhuowen, who had always been calm, couldn't help but be stunned at the first sight of the Veiled Dragon Pavilion.

In the middle of a wide square, there was a several zhang tall stone tablet. The stone tablet was engraved with the words' Hidden Dragon Pavilion '. Behind the square, there was a tall red lacquer gate. Two huge stone lions were squatting on either side of the gate, looking very imposing.

Behind the door was a huge pavilion. At a glance, it occupied a very large area.

"As expected of the Veiled Dragon Pavilion!

Just looking at it from afar, it has the aura of a mountain! "Liu Tao looked at the Veiled Dragon Pavilion in front of him and couldn't help but sigh.

At this moment, in front of the huge square in front of the Veiled Dragon Pavilion, there were a hundred guards wearing dark yellow armor standing upright. In front of the guards, there were two men riding tall Blood Jade Horses, looking down at Zhuowen's group from above.

Zhuowen slightly frowned as he looked at the hundred guards in front of him. The purpose of these guards was obviously to stop Zhuowen's group.

"Young master!

These guards are called the Veiled Dragon Guards. They are the guards of the Veiled Dragon Pavilion. The two men riding on the Blood Jade Horses are the commander and vice commander of the Veiled Dragon Guards. Their strength is at the Inner Organs stage!

Looking at their attitude, it seems like they don't have good intentions! "
