Chapter 0049 – If You Don’t Give Permission, Even Your Pants – Absolute Returns

“What are you looking at him for? He’s the busiest of us all.”

“I’m just looking at the fact that he’s mentored us before.”

“If someone is willing to teach you, would you be willing to learn? Although you can’t officially worship the master, he can teach you some real martial arts.”

“Who?”

Instead of telling him directly, I asked, “Tell me first, what price are you willing to pay for this?”

I want him to be the next Chief Constable of Department Six, but he’s too young and has little background or connections, so he’ll have to put in more effort than anyone else if he wants to sit in that position.

A candidate suddenly came to mind, and while the candidate seemed a bit of a non-starter, perhaps, it was just what he needed.

“I’ll give you an incense stick of time to think about it, and when that time is up, you must make a decision.”

“Huh? That fast?”

“This kind of thing, the more you think about it, the more hesitant you become, and it will only end up unsettled. Tonight, you must make a choice, otherwise, don’t mention this matter again in the future.”

Xu Dalong fell into deep thought, and we drank while looking out the window at the gloomy sky. A storm was coming, and our mood was as depressing and dull as this weather.

As the pot of wine reached the bottom, Xu Dalong finally made a decision.

“I do!”

“Are you sure?”

“I’m sure!”

“This is a decision that will change your life.”

“I’m mentally prepared. One must fight once in one’s life, no? If I fail, please bury me in a sunny place!”

“Okay, I promise you, I’ll bury you where there are the most beautiful women!”

“It’s a deal!”

Xu Dalong raised his glass and drank it down.

“Good! Congratulations!” Liam applauded excitedly.

Zhang Hu also raised his glass and congratulated Xu Dalong.

“If someone else had advised me, I would not have agreed, but I could not refuse your words. I feel that my chance has come!”

“That’s because, our Swordfather is the best at convincing people.” Li An said with a smile.

Zhang Hu also nodded in agreement.

Xu Dalong was in a good mood and drank another cup, he was not a good drinker and was now a little drunk.

“But I’ve been a constable for ten years, and I’ve put in a lot of effort to become the chief constable, and I’m really a little reluctant to let me give up now ……”

“Who said anything about giving up?”

“Huh?”

“You can continue to be your chief constable and just use your off-duty time to practice.”

Thinking I was joking, Xu Dalong laughed bitterly, “That won’t tire me out?”

“But you can realize your dreams.” I said seriously.

Xu Dalong froze, he stared straight at me as if he didn’t recognize me.

“Are you serious?”

“Of course it’s true, you’ve already missed the best time, you’re just starting to learn it now, it’s more important to progress gradually, you can’t rush it. After work, there is plenty of time to practice.”

“But I’m already so far behind everyone else, how can I catch up if I don’t work hard? I have to put in more time and effort than others to do so!” Xu Dalong looked at Zhang Hu, hoping that he would support his point of view.

However, Zhang Hu just looked at me quietly, signaling that he was listening to me.

Seeing that there was no way to ask for help, Xu Dalong had no choice but to turn his gaze to me once again.

I said calmly, “Many people fail because they are too anxious. They always think of reaching the sky in one step, but ignore the importance of keeping their feet on the ground. They are always complaining about not having enough time, but they don’t realize that time is like water in a sponge, as long as they are willing to squeeze, there is always something. Instead of living in anxiety and self-doubt every day, it’s better to calm down, enjoy the process of cultivation, and turn it into a pleasure.”

Li An and Zhang Hu nodded their heads in deep sympathy, and only Xu Dalong had a confused look on his face.

“Moreover, a famous master makes a great student, and a good master can make you take many fewer detours. Sometimes, a word from a master is better than ten years of your bitter cultivation.”

“Then who exactly is this high person you mentioned?” Li An and Zhang Hu were also curious as to what kind of master I was going to introduce to Xu Dalong.

“He’ll be here soon.”

“What? Is he also in Western Illusion Town?” Xu Dalong asked in surprise.

“Do you think I’m a god? How could I know where he is? I just suddenly thought of him, so I improvised and wanted to set you up.”

“Then doesn’t he know about it yet?”

“Of course not.”

“Oh my god!” Xu Dalong drank another glass of wine, his alcohol consumption was already far beyond the limit.

“It’s up to you whether or not it works. If he doesn’t agree, you’ll kneel down and beg him until he does.”

We raised our glasses and drank together, wishing Xu DaLong well in his worship.

Li An had wanted to advise Xu Dalong to drink less, but thinking that he was in an agitated mood today, he didn’t stop him, but only urged him to keep it to a point.

“I’m going to make it! If he doesn’t agree, I’ll just hug his thigh and not let go! Swordfather, you must speak for me!” Xu Dalong said excitedly.

“Don’t worry, I’ll help you.”

Just then, there was a sudden flash of lightning and thunder outside the window, and the wind was blowing furiously.

“A storm is coming!”

Just then, I saw a familiar figure walk in.

“Speak of the devil.”

As soon as I spoke, everyone looked toward the door.

When Li An saw the visitor, his eyes widened and he covered his mouth with his hand so that he didn’t scream.

Zhang Hu also revealed a surprised expression.

Xu Dalong, with his back to the doorway, was the last to react.

I saw him freeze for a moment, and then jerk up, only to accidentally knock over his wine glass because of the movement, spilling the wine all over the table.

“Bang!”

The visitor threw a huge knife to the ground with a loud thud.

A chillingly fierce light shone in his slender eyes.

“Who is so bold as to dare to ask me, Blood Heavenly Blade Demon, to run errands?”

The person who came was none other than the Blood Sky Blade Demon.

“Claptrap ……”

As if to coincide with his appearance, pouring rain suddenly fell outside the window.
