"Whether it's a good person, a bad person, or a normal person, flattery will never fail you. You can't go wrong by flattering everyone you meet."
"As long as you know how to grovel and fawn, you'll be invincible!"
The next morning, Xu Qi'an didn't go to work, but went directly to Li Chang'an's residence.
Upon seeing the wide gate of Li Chang'an's mansion, large enough for a truck to pass through, Xu Qi'an suddenly felt a surge of pride. This is what a true man should be like!
We're all time travelers. Li Chang'an can enjoy the advantages of feudalism, and so can I, Xu Qi'an!
After a brief announcement, Xu Qi'an followed the servant into the six-courtyard compound, where he first met Xu Lingyue.
Upon seeing Xu Lingyue, Xu Qi'an once again felt intense envy for Li Chang'an.
Because Xu Lingyue wasn't wearing pants, her long, slender legs were visible beneath her skirt.
In this era, women wore trousers under their skirts.
Good, good, good. Li Chang'an really knows how to play games. Why didn't he let Xu Lingyue wear black stockings?
Upon arriving at Li Chang'an's study, Xu Qi'an knelt down without saying a word, without hesitation.
"This humble servant, Xu Qi'an, pays his respects to Lord Li!"
Sitting in the armchair, Li Chang'an was not surprised at all by Xu Qi'an's performance; he was opportunistic and had high emotional intelligence.
"You're just a quick-witted person, you don't deserve any official position. Why are you calling yourself a lowly official? Get up, sit down and have some tea."
Then, Xu Lingyue poured a cup of tea for Xu Qi'an and handed it to him.
Xu Qi'an picked up the teacup, his heart pounding. He knew he shouldn't drink water from strangers when he was out.
However, he noticed that Li Chang'an was watching him, so Xu Qi'an had no choice but to take a sip.
Thinking too much is useless. If Li Chang'an wants to kill him, there's no need to go through all this trouble.
Afterwards, Li Chang'an dismissed all the maids, leaving only Xu Qi'an.
Li Chang'an's expression was unreadable, but it was quite authoritative.
"What do you do over there?"
Xu Qi thought to himself, the clash between the two transmigrators didn't seem to be earth-shattering.
He answered truthfully, "Young police officer, with some experience in handling cases."
To be honest, this will make it easier to use my Kuaishou identity to investigate cases in the future.
"Lord Li must be a successful person over there."
Xu Qi'an stood there and saw Li Chang'an clearly remain silent for a while before slowly standing up and walking to Xu Qi'an.
“I didn’t have a choice before, but now I want to be a good person.”
Xu Qi'an's teacup trembled and almost fell to the ground; he had heard this line far too many times.
Could it be that Li Chang'an is the reincarnation of a mafia boss, or even a mafia boss who understands culture and how to whitewash his image?
Xu Qi'an was full of enthusiasm when he first became a policeman, and he watched that movie many times, so now he can almost recite it off the top of his head.
Sorry, I'm a police officer!
However, Xu Qi'an remained calm, knowing that he couldn't speak carelessly now.
"Lord Li, you are such a good person! Without you, I would have died in prison long ago!"
Li Chang'an sat down next to Xu Qi'an and casually asked, "How old are you this year?"
“Brother Li… I’ve only been here a few days. According to the age calculation over there, I should be twenty-five.”
"Young man, I'm much older than you."
Hearing Li Chang'an's words, Xu Qi'an cursed inwardly, thinking that Li was trying to take advantage of the situation.
"Uncle Li...?"
Li Chang'an chuckled lightly, "You could call me your ancestor without any problem."
Xu Qi'an's mind raced. "But you look only eighteen years old now, so calling you that would make you sound old."
Li Chang'an, wanting to play around with Xu Qi'an, sighed deeply, "In this life, I don't want to kill a policeman."
Xu Qi'an was greatly alarmed; now he needed to make a statement!
"Don't worry, Lord Li. Although I have transmigrated here, I will definitely behave myself and not say or do anything I shouldn't."
"You're quite sensible. There was a little something in your tea, but it won't affect you at all. But for me, taking your life is just a thought away."
Xu Qi'an felt a chill run down his spine and his palms sweat. He immediately stood up and knelt before Li Chang'an.
"Lord Li, I, Xu Qi'an, am Lord Li's man in life and in death. From now on, I will obey orders, follow commands, keep secrets, and never forget my original intentions!"
"Goodness, he's even recited the police oath!" Li Chang'an laughed. "Ha, he's spouting rhymes all over the place!"
Chapter 295 Xu Qi'an Shocks His Aunt, Xu Lingyue Offers Herself to Him
Xu Qi'an is a smart and pragmatic man, and Li Chang'an trusts him quite a bit.
As for the tea, it was just a normal qi-nourishing pill, only meant to scare Xu Qi'an.
Xu Qi'an was also trying to figure out Li Chang'an's temperament. Both of them were transmigrators, and Li Chang'an was much stronger. It could be said that his fate was in Li Chang'an's hands.
Therefore, he had no choice but to be on the same side as Li Chang'an, and he could never betray him.
Even if Li Chang'an were to kill the emperor and rebel, he would follow him to the death.
"This humble subject swears to serve Lord Li to the death, without a doubt."
Li Chang'an was also very satisfied with Xu Qi'an's performance; there was no need to waste words on a smart person.
"He's smart, but his strength is too weak."
Xu Qi'an was still kneeling on the ground, but after hearing this, his mind started racing. Since he was destined to be on the same boat as Li Chang'an, and Li Chang'an's attitude was good, he might as well go along with it!
"Lord Li! I am a newcomer here, unfamiliar with the place and its people, and my martial arts skills are mediocre at best."
Seeing Lord Li that day felt like seeing a long-lost relative. If you don't mind, I, Xu Qi'an, would like to become your disciple!
Xu Qi'an's mind worked quickly. Li Chang'an would definitely be wary of him, who was also a transmigrator, so he would definitely keep track of his whereabouts.
Therefore, it would be better to simply pledge allegiance to Li Chang'an and establish a good relationship with him, as Li Chang'an would take care of him in every way.
By showing an attitude of seeking apprenticeship and submission, even if Li Chang'an refuses, he can still feel his loyalty.
Li Chang'an couldn't help but chuckle to himself. Xu Qi'an was indeed very insightful about human relationships and knew how to properly position himself.
“Xu Qi’an, you’re a smart man, so I won’t say anything more. I’m much older than you, so you won’t be at a loss if you become my disciple.”
"From now on, you will be my disciple, Princess Pingyang's junior brother. She will learn Taoist arts, and you will practice martial arts."
Xu Qi'an needed to open the Heavenly Gate to advance from the ninth rank to the eighth rank, which was originally a major problem, but now it has been easily solved.
He was confident that as long as Li Chang'an accepted him as a disciple, he would be able to serve Li Chang'an comfortably.
"Master, I have no relatives in Dafeng, but I will treat you as my own father!"
Li Chang'an felt a little nauseous. He had heard this kind of talk many times in his previous two lives, but it was still surprising to hear it so smoothly coming from a modern soul.
However, upon further reflection, he realized that if he were in Xu Qi'an's shoes, facing a transmigrator like himself who was of unknown allegiance and overwhelmingly superior in strength, he would have to adopt a humble attitude to protect himself.
"Since you're here, make the best of it. From now on, the Xu family will be your relatives. Just adapt to this place gradually. As long as you behave properly, your teacher won't make things difficult for you."
Xu Qi'an quickly replied, "Master, don't worry, I will never reveal a single bit of the unique skills from my hometown."
The implication is that using modern technology and knowledge to show off is something only Li Chang'an does.
"That's not necessary. I see that you are good at alchemy, which is not my specialty. You should try your best to shine in this area."
Xu Qi'an was secretly pleased. It seemed that Li Chang'an was a reasonable person after all, at least he had left himself a way out.
"Master, rest assured, even if I need to use it, I will say that it was taught to me by you!"
Li Chang'an was speechless for a moment. The two still lacked trust, and Xu Qi'an was very cautious at the moment, not daring to cross the line.
"Okay, get up."
Afterwards, Li Chang'an asked Xu Lingyue to summon Princess Pingyang, who happened to be in the mansion.
Xu Qi'an had already stood up and had also seen the charming and lovely Princess Pingyang, his senior sister.
“Pingyang, this is Lingyue’s cousin, my new disciple, named Xu Qi’an.”
Princess Pingyang and Xu Lingyue were already quite familiar with each other. Upon hearing that Li Chang'an had taken on another disciple, she immediately became interested in Xu Qi'an.
"Master, then Xu Qi'an is my junior brother?"
Xu Qi'an was very good at handling things, and immediately bowed and said, "Greetings, Senior Sister!"
If he hadn't become the princess's apprentice, he would have had to kneel before her. Now, they're on the same level.
Princess Pingyang was the same age as Xu Lingyue, even younger than Xu Qi'an, but she became his senior sister, which was both novel and exciting for her.
"Junior brother, no need for formalities. From now on, we are fellow disciples. If you encounter any difficulties, just mention my name and see who dares to bully you."
Xu Qi'an stole a glance at Princess Pingyang's appearance. Although she was not as beautiful as Xu Lingyue, she had an air of nobility and was very cute.
You absolutely cannot have designs on your master's women, but you can have your senior sister. If you can win over your senior sister, the princess, you'll be able to walk around the capital with impunity.
