Chapter 74: K.O. (2/2)

When Junior Leopard heard this, he became slightly embarrassed. Compared to people of the same age, he definitely did appear to be too smooth and sophisticated. This had something to do with his profession in his previous life.

”I will be careful next time!”

”En, you have stayed here for about half a year. Pack up your things, I want to go out!”

”Going out?”

Junior Leopard looked at his teacher strangely. During the half year in the Wu Family, out of ten days he would spend nine days in the Refining Weapon room like researching something. Now he should want to go out.

”This time I am going to visit an old friend. As my disciple, you should come along and visit!” Xu Yong said.

”Old friend?!” Junior Leopard understood, his gaze revealing surprise, ”Okay, Teacher, I will go and prepare now. When do we set off?!”

”Half a month later. You prepare first, I still have some things to settle at home. Go!”

Coming out from Xu Yong's room, Junior Leopard was unable to hide the excited feeling in his heart.

He had reasons to be excited.

What was the most important thing when people come out for a living, no matter in the Jianghu or in the martial arts world?

Connections, connections were the most important.

Position in Jianghu, reputation in the martial arts world, they were not built up entirely by fighting. They needed to be managed.

The seventh Dark Lord Xue Wuya was used to killing. His name was resounding. However, the real reason why his reputation reached the peak was not that he killed a lot of people, but he was the seventh Dark Lord.

The White Blademaster Lu Shaoyou was chivalrous, and did many good deeds. However, what people really cared about was that he was a Golden Lights Cave disciple, the great deacon of Mingyi School.

The whole Jianghu was just like a big net. In the net lived many and endless human power, object power and power itself.

No matter how strong the human power was, it was still limited. Those influences that stretched through the whole world had infinite strength, which was also what made people fear.

Of course, influence, this was a great influence. It was not easily moved by one or two people. It also couldn't be assembled by one or two people.

For those that roam the pugilist world, not everyone had those big powers, having such a strong backer behind their backs.

However, walking in the Jianghu, who doesn't have a few friends?

As it was said, one fence there would be three poles, and one good man there would be helped by three people.

In many situations, those friends would be the only people you could rely on in times of crisis.

How to make friends in the Jianghu?

Feeling like old friends at the first meeting and opening hearts to each other, they become life and death buddies after having a drink. How would they willing to do anyting for his buddies?

This kind of situation existed, but it was extremely few!

The real friends were those who knew each other well. Many played together since childhood. Their previous generations were friends, and the friendship passed on. Both parties knew each other well enough. This kind of people was able to become friends.

The other kind of friends originated from teacher-disciple relationships. This could be considered another form of friendship. The original Seniors and Juniors, Teacher-Uncles and their disciples were also able to become friends after interaction and finding each other pleasing to the eye.

Those friends who meet by chance were extremely few, they belong to the minority. And these minority usually experienced numerous life and death encounters before becoming friends. This kind of friendships, on the contrary, was the strongest.

Xu Yong, the elders of Wu Family, his position in the Jianghu as well as his status was high. Even though he kept a low profile, yet he was no lack of friends. Furthermore, those friends of him in the Jianghu had some weight, and not necessarily lower than his.

This was also what Junior Leopard lacked most. Born in the village, if he never had anyone to direct, no matter how hard he tried to manage it, it would be extremely hard for him to solidify his footing in the Jianghu without a few decades.

Now things were different. As the disciple of a Wu Family Elder, suddenly, he possessed a massive net of connections. Half of the connection belonged to the Wu Family, thus he was hard to use it. However, a portion of it was Xu Yong's private network. This was also the biggest wealth Xu Yong could give him. Now Xu Yong was going to take him to gather this sum of fortune. Of course, it was only looking. Whether there was the capability to touch it would depend on Junior Leopard's own strength and the approval of Xu Yong's friends.

If he could not gain recognition, even if he was Xu Yong's disciple, he could at most make some ordinary friends, who nod their heads to each other only.

Maybe this was the reason why Xu Yong reminded him that the way he handled affairs were too sophisticated and smooth.

Although sophisticated and smooth people would not suffer from disadvantages, yet this was an unpleasant personality. What's more, Junior Leopard was so young yet he displayed so sophisticatedly. This would make people be on their guard.

”Aye, I never thought that I myself will actually bother about my own personality. However, there is no choice. I bought the personality with me from the past life, hence, it is not easy for me to change. If I can't change it, then I can only pretend. Keke, the legendary pretense will not work. I'd better think about what should I pretend to be?!”

After Xu Yong left, Junior Leopard helplessly thought about it.
