Demon hunter's Cooking Manual

Chapter 41: Bodyguard!



Seeing Xu Dashan rushing over and shouting for help, Jason instinctively thought Xu Dashan had encountered the 'Transmigration Cult.'

Immediately, he felt a thrill in his heart.

After waiting for so long, his overdue 'delivery' had finally arrived.

However, after hearing Xu Dashan's account in the main hall, Jason frowned.

The situation was not what he had imagined.

"Does Master Xu hope that I will escort someone?"

Jason confirmed once more.

"Yes, Master Mu, besides you, I don't know who else could safely escort the young lady to 'Fragrance City.' After all, with the unexpected death of the Great Dragon Head, the dragon head staff is now in the young lady's hands. Not only Bianzhou Prefecture, but the surrounding prefectures' individuals have also turned their attention towards her, all eyeing her fiercely, wanting to kill her and destroy the dragon head staff."

"Those who were on good terms with the Great Dragon Head, the forces, all avoided the young lady after the Dragon Head's death."

"Some former Guest Elders have also remained silent during this time."

"We can only rely on you, Master Mu."

Xu Dashan said, standing up again and bowing in respect.

"The Great Dragon Head?"

"Si Hai Bang?"

Dou Bao suddenly recalled something.

"Yes, it's the 'Si Hai Bang.'

"Red Fragrance Alley is also a branch of the 'Si Hai Bang.'

"On the surface, I am the owner of Red Fragrance Alley, but in reality, the real owner is the Great Dragon Head's daughter."

Xu Dashan spoke with a face full of helplessness and bitterness.

If possible, he would never so readily admit his identity.

But he really had no choice.

As the old owner of Red Fragrance Alley, Xu Dashan had never been so embarrassed.

After all, his identity as the old owner of Red Fragrance Alley was only superficial.

His true identity was one of the incense masters of the 'Si Hai Bang.'

Si Hai Bang was renowned in the martial world.

Of course, what was even more famous was the gang leader of the 'Si Hai Bang,' the 'Great Dragon Head' Cui Longwang.

Cui Longwang was not his real name, but when this 'Great Dragon Head' eliminated all the large and small forces in Fragrance City and expanded the then-unknown 'Si Hai Bang' to the surrounding prefectures of Bianzhou Prefecture, Cui Longwang became the actual name of this 'Great Dragon Head.'

In the lands of several prefectures around Bianzhou, mentioning 'Great Dragon Head' Cui Longwang would earn a nod of respect from anyone.

Because Cui Longwang not only had unbeatable iron palms but also wealth.

Therefore, the 'Si Hai Bang' was booming.

The fame of 'Great Dragon Head' Cui Longwang was at its peak.

Until two days ago.

Cui Longwang was dead, found in his bedroom, pierced through the throat by a sword.

The splendor of yesterday, everything collapsed with the death of Cui Longwang.

Especially Red Fragrance Alley!

Red Fragrance Alley was a force established by Cui Longwang's daughter, Cui Longnu, both for business operations and intelligence gathering. With the foundation of the 'Si Hai Bang,' it spread its reach across the entire Bianzhou and several nearby prefectures within a few years and also became the treasury of the 'Si Hai Bang.'

If the 'Great Dragon Head' were still alive, Red Fragrance Alley would naturally be fine.

But with the death of the Great Dragon Head, Red Fragrance Alley directly became the target of all.

Not just because of the money, but also because Cui Longnu held the dragon head staff, representing the successor of the 'Si Hai Bang.'

"Shouldn't the 'Si Hai Bang' be inherited by Miss Cui?"

Dou Bao was a bit puzzled.

In Dou Bao's simple idea, that's what she assumed.

Xu Dashan immediately gave a wry smile again.

"It should be so, but the Great Dragon Head's death was too sudden, sudden to the point where no one was prepared, and then some people gave rise to thoughts they shouldn't have."

Although Xu Dashan didn't speak explicitly, Jason and Dou Bao both understood.

Dou Bao furrowed her brows.

"So what you mean is that while escorting Miss Cui to Fragrance City, we mainly have to deal with people from the 'Si Hai Bang'?"

Dou Bao asked.

Xu Dashan did not speak, only nodded.

Why did people around avoid contact when the well-connected Great Dragon Head died?

This is also the most crucial point.

Internal strife!

It always causes the close ones pain, making the enemies rejoice.

Especially the former, which in some aspects got involved inadvertently.

"Master?"

Dou Bao looked at Jason.

She was a bit unwilling for Jason to get involved in this mess.

This escort was obviously fraught with dangers.

Dou Bao knew of the 'Si Hai Bang,' and had impressions of it, too.

Just two words: very powerful.

And those who could oppose the 'Si Hai Bang' were naturally incredibly powerful as well.

If her own master got entangled, it could really be a matter of life and death with the slightest mistake.

Dou Bao didn't want Jason to have an accident.

But she wouldn't answer on behalf of Jason.

She listened to Jason.

Jason looked at Xu Dashan, his gaze calm, making Xu Dashan extremely nervous inside.

He was afraid of being rejected.

In fact, he had already been rejected several times.

If not, he wouldn't have come to Jason.

One must know, their cooperative relationship had just begun, still unstable, both sides were in an adaptation period. Only after long-term contact could it be considered a genuine Guest Elder relationship.

Simply put, if possible, Xu Dashan would only give without seeking repayment in the past one or two years.

Only when the time was ripe would he ask for help.

But now he truly had no one left.

Those few Guest Elders he had 'raised' in secret for years, not a single one was willing to show up.

Only this recently renowned 'Piercing Heart Palm' Master Mu was left.

He was also at his wit's end.

Especially thinking of the forces behind this Master Mu, Xu Dashan had even less confidence.
