I plagiarized the whole world of cultivating immortals for nothing

"This... I'm afraid this is inappropriate?"

Jiang Li didn't expect that the Fifth Prince would present such an expensive gift.

But the fifth prince said boldly: "It's okay, you helped me vent my anger today, so you deserve all of this."

After finishing speaking, the fifth prince directly stuffed the jade pendant into Jiang Li's hand.

Jiang Li had no choice but to temporarily accept the jade pendant.

"In that case, I, Lin Yuan, have thanked His Highness the Fifth Highness."

"Hahaha, you're welcome. Lin Yuan, if you don't mind, we'll be brothers from now on. You can call me Fifth Brother from now on, and I'll call you Brother Lin, is that okay?"

"what?"

This wave of operations by the fifth prince was unexpected by Jiang Li. For a while, Jiang Li was a little confused.

"This... I'm afraid there is something wrong with it?"

The fifth prince stared, and said angrily: "Why, boy, are you looking down on me?"

Jiang Li quickly shook his head in denial, "No, no, that's not what I mean. I, Lin Yuan, are just the young castellan of a border town, and I was kicked out of the house by my father."

"To put it bluntly, I'm like a bereaved dog now. How can He De call you a brother and brother with His Highness the Fifth Highness?"

But the fifth prince said directly: "Lin Yuan, you are overthinking. When I make friends with the fifth prince, the most important thing is the ability and character of the other party. As long as these two aspects are acceptable, even if he is a slave, I will definitely not He will be underestimated because of this.”

Kindness is hard to turn down, Jiang Li knew that if he rejected the fifth prince, then the fifth prince would definitely not let it go.

Therefore, Jiang Li had no choice but to nod in agreement with the Fifth Prince's proposal.

"Well, since you think highly of me so much, I will dare to be a brother to you."

"That's right."

From the fifth prince's point of view, Jiang Li has basically been successfully wooed by him.

Although the fifth prince is still not sure that Jiang Li will work for him, at least Jiang Li will not take action against him.

The Fifth Prince was very happy today, after exchanging a few pleasantries with Jiang Li, he couldn't wait to leave here to celebrate.

And Jiang Li was also preparing to leave the ancient mansion. After all, Mrs. Gu had just recovered, and now Gu Yue was busy taking care of her, and had no time to entertain them.

But unexpectedly, just as Jiang Li and the others were about to leave, Gu Yue walked out with his wife.

"Master Lin Yuan, please wait a moment."

Jiang Li stopped in his tracks and looked at Gu Yue with some doubts.

"Why, Mr. Gu, is there anything else?"

Gu Yue looked at Jiang Li with some shame, and said, "Young Master Lin Yuan, I really thank you for what happened today. Without you, my wife might not be able to wake up again."

Gu Yue saw the secret rivalry between the third prince and the fifth prince very clearly.

It's a pity that with his ability, it is far from being able to suppress these two people.

Therefore, he can only let these two run amok in his own home.

Jiang Li smiled and said, "It's just a little effort, Mr. Gu doesn't have to be so polite. Besides, haven't you helped me many times."

Hearing this, Gu Yue felt even more ashamed.

"Master Lin Yuan, don't say that."

"Up to now, I don't hide it from you anymore. To be honest, I always have selfish motives when I help you."

"You have also seen that because I am too close to the fifth prince, some people have already caused dissatisfaction. Now they will not only attack me, but also those around me."

"That's why I really want you to be my bodyguard. Therefore, I will take the initiative to make friends with you."

Jiang Li nodded, but only replied lightly.

"I know what you said. However, I am always a kind person who repays kindness. If you help me, then I have to repay your kindness. As for what you said, you have other plans for me, I can take it as nothing of."

Gu Yue didn't expect that Jiang Li would answer herself like that.

To be honest, as a businessman, what he is best at is talking to people and talking nonsense to people.

But today, in front of Jiang Li, he acted like a child, not daring to tell any lies.

"Mr. Lin Yuan, we have already talked about this, so I won't hide from you anymore."

"Do you think I should stand with the fifth prince and help him sit on the throne?"

Jiang Li originally thought that Gu Yue was going to invite him to be his bodyguard, but he never expected that Gu Yue would actually ask himself this question.This time, Jiang Li was frightened.

"Mr. Gu, I'm afraid I can't answer your question."

Gu Yue shook her head, "No, you have to answer this question. Because from now on, I, Gu Yue, will work for you."

"what?"

Jiang Li was confused again, "Mr. Gu, why did you say that?"

Gu Yue smiled wryly, and said, "You've seen the current situation, right? Although I'm considered the number one person in Shanghai, I'm just a businessman after all."

"In front of their royal family, I don't even have the right to speak. The life and death of my family is just a gamble in their eyes."

To be honest, Jiang Li could also see this.

If the two princes really respected Gu Yue, today's farce would not have happened.

However, Jiang Li didn't understand why Gu Yue planned to take refuge with him.

"I understand how you feel, Mr. Gu, but I'm just a little young city lord, and I'm still the kind who was kicked out of the house by my father."

"After all, you are also a well-known figure in the devil's capital. If you take refuge in me, wouldn't it be a bit too inferior?"

Gu Yue didn't regret her decision at all.

Through his time with Jiang Li during this time, he has already understood Jiang Li's personality.

He believed that Jiang Li was a loyal person, as long as he became his subordinate, at least his own safety could be guaranteed.

"Mr. Lin Yuan, to tell you the truth, I don't trust anyone except you now."

"If you don't promise me, then I may have to take my family out to escape."

Jiang Li frowned slightly, and said to Gu Yue: "Mr. Gu Yue, you have to think about it. If you choose me, you may offend more people. You also know that I have offended the Third Prince and even offended the third prince." Ghost Valley Magic Doctor."

"Once these people come to your door, I'm afraid you will be in trouble then."

Gu Yue replied: "Of course I've thought about all of this, but don't worry, since I already have a choice, I won't be afraid of these troubles."
