It was said that the statue already had several decades of history. Back then, when he walked out of River Pool Street, it was said that Xia Jiang had come to pay his respects to the Heavenly Master of the Guan Di Temple on River Pond Street. It was only on this road that things became smooth and peaceful.
We have to mention River Pool Street here.
However, the length of this street was the longest in the entire Phoenix Forest District, directly passing through the entire Phoenix Forest District. Moreover, because it was located at the entrance of Jiangyuan University, this street was unusually busy, and the first time Xia Jiang had made his name in the martial arts world was on River Pool Street. Xia Jiang had used this small Riverpool Street as the foundation, and after more than 20 years, he had grown up from a local hoodlum into the current Jiangyuan City.
One of them was full of legends. The Guan Di Temple, where Xia Jiang had worshiped the heavens, had become a sacred place in many people's hearts.
However, what was very surprising was that after he left this street, there were no more prodigies. Instead, there were quite a few prodigies from other districts, such as now, where Xia Jiang was the best at fighting.
River Pond Street seemed to have absorbed all of the spiritual energy, making it look exceptionally low and chaotic. But even so, the Guan Di Temple was still full of incense. Because of Xia Jiang's relationship, many people came here to pay their respects, and gradually became accustomed to it.
Today was the first time that the Guan Di Temple was paying respects to the heavens. Many of the nearby shops had already arrived at the temple early in the morning.
Earlier, Zhou Xiaoyu was the one in charge of managing this street, without a doubt. However, because he had Bao Ruifeng above him, and Zhou Xiaoyu had said that he was just a working lackey, he naturally did not come here to pay his respects to the emperor. Unlike Xu Taiping, who had received some instructions from Xia Jiang and gave the entire Riverpool Street to Xu Taiping, Xu Taiping had become the real Brother Xu in the sense of Riverpool Street, so he had come to pay his respects to the heavens so that everyone could recognize him and not offend him in the future.
There were many luxurious cars parked in front of the temple. This River Pond Street was very busy, so naturally, many people were able to earn money. The protection fee for this street was the highest in the entire Phoenix Forest District, but even so, the owners of these shops were still earning the most.
"I heard that the hoodlum this time is a young man. He's not even thirty years old! "The younger generations are truly fearsome." The owner of Seven Blessings Jewelry, Zhu Yingguo, sighed emotionally.
The so-called hoodlum was the talk of the world. Although everyone was called boss by this name, but that was just a saying, a true written form of address for boss was called hoodlum. Of course, hoodlums were also divided into different levels, like those who could control a street, then they were called hoodlums, and those above that would no longer be hoodlums; those that had gotten rid of hoodlums were already called hoodlums … … … … … … … … … … … … … … … … … … … … … … … … … … … … … … … … … … … … … … … … … … … … … … … … … … … … … … … … … … … … … … … … … … … … … … … … … … …
Every one of them was well-behaved. They had established a company in every region, being a manager and a boss, and above these companies, there was also a main company, and Xia Jiang could be considered as the boss of the main company.
"I hope this hoodlum's appetite isn't too big." Hengshun's boss, Xiao Bingyun, said quickly, "This year's business is not a good one."
"Isn't this business of yours easy to do? Last year, I heard that you sold hundreds of cars. Don't think that I didn't know that you were in the smuggled car business! " Zhu Rong Zhan said.
"Shh, shh, shh. You can't say that." Xiao Bingchang quickly covered Zhu Hong's mouth and said, "Actually, as long as this hoodlum can be in charge, then the amount of money is not that important."
"Yes, yes." Xiao Bing quickly nodded his head.
The people in the Guan Di Temple were all talking about it, no one had seen Xu Taiping and no one knew much about him, so many people had their guesses about him.
In a lounge not too far away from the Guan Di Temple, Xia Jinxuan was excitedly looking at the temple. Today, she found out from other sources that her man wanted to worship the heavens!
As Xia Jiang's daughter, Xia Jinxuan knew deeply about the meaning of worshiping the heavens for people in the martial world. That was a proclamation of ownership of the territory. Through worshiping the heavens, she told people elsewhere, this is my territory.
Xia Jin Xuan remembered that back then when her mother was still alive, she had described to her the scene of her father worshipping the heavens, and that was truly grand. Her mother stood closely with her father, letting everyone know that this land belonged to Xia Jiang, and her mother was Xia Jiang's woman.
Even in her dreams, Xia Jinxuan dreamed that Xu Taiping would be able to bring her along and worship to the heavens, but with Xu Taiping's personality, he definitely wouldn't do that. Therefore, she didn't ask for Xu Taiping's help, and could only sneak over here to watch from afar.
Even just by watching, one would feel satisfied.
The BMW 740 slowly stopped at the entrance of the Guan Di Temple.
As the driver, Zhou Xiaoyu got out of the car and ran to the back of the car before opening the door.
Xu Taiping walked out of the car, turned around and pulled Guan He out.
Guan He's identity wasn't very well-known, so when Xu Taiping brought Guan He down from the car, everyone thought of Guan He as Xu Taiping's woman. And in the distance, Xia Jinxuan excitedly stood up from her chair.
"Why is it that woman, why is she together with Tai Ping?!" Was she trying to seduce peace? That must be it! " Xia Jinxuan's face turned bright red as she watched Xu Taiping and Guan He talking and laughing. Her blood pressure shot up in an instant, and she didn't care about anything else, immediately rushing out the door towards Xu Taiping in the distance.
At this moment, Xu Taiping was greeting the people around him. Under Zhou Xiaoyu's introduction, he was able to get to know all the well-known people on Riverpool Street well.
The candles within the temple had already been lit. Xu Taiping waited for everyone to finish their greetings before he went in to pay his respects to the gods.
"Bitch, get away from my man!" A curse broke the beautiful atmosphere of the crabs.
Xu Taiping frowned slightly. Just as he turned around, he saw Xia Jinxuan rushing towards him angrily, before she sent a slap towards Guan He's face.
With a "pa" sound, Xu Taiping grabbed Xia Jinxuan's hand.
"What are you doing?" Xu Taiping asked with a darkened face.
This woman, she, she is not a good person, why do you want to be together with her? If not for her, my mother would not have died from depression, it was all her fault. She did not hook up with my father, and now she is even trying to hook up with you. Xia Jinxuan crazily roared, her hand that was being held by Xu Taiping constantly struggling.
"Jin Xuan, your mother's death really has nothing to do with me." Guan He said timidly.
"How could it have nothing to do with you? Before you appeared, my mom was laughing so happily every day, but ever since you appeared, she stopped laughing. If it wasn't you, then what was it?" You slut, scram from my man! " Xia Jinxuan roared.
"Have you gone mad enough?" Xu Taiping said with a dark face, "Don't embarrass me here."
"She … Did she seduce you as well?" Xia Jinxuan stared at Xu Taiping and said, "Don't be tricked by her. She's very bad, really very bad."
"Xiao Yu, take him away." Xu Taiping said.
"This..." Zhou Xiao Yu stood there, not knowing what to do. This Xia Jinxuan was Xia Jiang's daughter, how could he dare to take her away?
"No one else listens to my words?" Xu Taiping asked with a gloomy face.
"Yes, Bro Xu." Zhou Xiaoyu nodded and walked over to Xia Jinxuan's side, whispering, "Miss Xia, let's go first. Today is Brother Xu's big day, so give Brother Xu some face."
"I don't care, Pingping. I want you to tell her to scram right now, out of our life. If you don't want her to scram, then I'll scram. There's me, there's me, there's him!" Xia Jinxuan shouted.
"Then scram." Xu Taiping coldly looked at Xia Jinxuan, then pushed his hand away, putting an arm around Guan He's waist as they walked into the Guan Di Temple.
"Jin Xuan, it's not like this …" Guan He wanted to say something, but Xu Taiping's arms were tightly wrapped around her, preventing her from turning around.
Xia Jinxuan stood on the spot, dumbstruck. She didn't understand why Xu Taiping had suddenly become like this. The current Xu Taiping looked just like a stranger.
"He, he told me to scram?" Xia Jinxuan seemed to not dare to believe what she had just heard, as she asked Zhou Xiaoyu who was beside her.
"Bro Xu, you're probably just mad at me. Don't be mad. Go first. After we've finished bowing to the gods, Bro Xu will come and find you." Zhou Xiaoyu said.
"He really told me to scram, for this stinking woman!" Tears filled Xia Jinxuan's eyes as she said, "How can I not compare to her? I'm younger, prettier, and better than her figure. How can he treat me like this for this woman, am I not good enough for him?" How can he be like this? Does he even have any conscience? "
"Miss Xia, don't cry!" Zhou Xiaoyu said anxiously.
"Don't worry about me, Xu Taiping. You're just a bastard, a complete bastard. You, you … I'm ignoring you! " Xia Jinxuan cried as she turned around and ran away.
Zhou Xiao Yu helplessly looked at Xia Jinxuan before walking into the Guan Di Temple.
"There's no need for that." Guan He stood beside Xu Taiping and said helplessly.
Xu Taiping held an incense stick in both hands. At this time, the incense stick had already been lit.
Dazzling green smoke rose into the air, and a heavy fragrance dispersed throughout the temple.
Xu Taiping was expressionless as he raised his hands high above his head and kowtowed three times to the huge deity statue of Guan Er. Then he stood up and placed the incense on the censer.
Seeing the silent Xu Taiping, Guan He did not know why, but he felt that he was very pitiful. It was as if in the entire world, not a single person could understand him and walk into his heart.
He was like a lone wolf that had left the world, proudly raising his head, as if telling the people of this world that he did not need anyone to understand him, and that nobody needed to enter his heart.
He was born alone. Mobile users please browse and read, better reading experience.
