Chapter 47

~8 min read 1,427 words

"A dozen people all dead!"

"Back then, Qian Ming was a fierce man who could hack a dozen people with one saber, and he was actually killed."

"I don't know who dared to touch the Three Harmonies Gang's bad luck; aren't they afraid of retaliation?"

"It seems to be the Zhang Si Shui Gang."

"What seems, it was the Zhang Si Shui Gang who killed them; others fear the Three Harmonies Gang, but the Zhang Si Shui Gang doesn't. After they killed the people, they even left blood characters at the hall to provoke them."

"The two gangs are probably going to war."

"War is good; it's best if they all die."

The morning sun rose; usually at this time, most of the fellow villagers in Bai Shi Workshop had just started to get up, but today it was bustling, and the alleys were full of discussions about the Three Harmonies Gang hall being wiped out.

"You be smarter; if there's trouble, just say my martial dao talent is outstanding and I'm valued by the Huang family, and have already been sent by the Huang family to practice at a martial arts school with money."

Before going out, Xu Yang instructed Xu Qing.

Although it was unlikely to be traced back to him, so many people had died at once, and the Three Harmonies Gang could do anything; maybe they would vent their anger on innocent people.

"Brother, you be careful too; so many people died, I'm afraid it's going to be chaotic."

"I know!"

Seeing Xu Qing nod, Xu Yang went out.

Out of Bai Shi Workshop, wailing sounds came into his ears.

Looking from afar, he saw that at the location of the Three Harmonies Gang hall, the families of those Three Harmonies Gang members he had killed were crying in a mass, at least a hundred people crying together.

He didn't have half a bit of sympathy or intolerance; these people followed the Three Harmonies Gang to do evil, and he didn't know how many families they had broken; they deserved to die.

Their families enjoyed this money, and now they were bearing such evil consequences; they deserved it.

"I hope they fight."

He deliberately left the two characters "Zhang Si Shui" because he wanted the Zhang Si Shui Gang and the Three Harmonies Gang to fight; as for whether it would succeed, it depended on Heaven.

【Turtle-Snake Great Stance · Entry-level (32/100)】

【Martial Dao Longevity Points: 15】

The harvest last night was not small; besides nearly ten taels of silver, he received fifteen points as a reward this morning.

"From now on, I must focus on practicing the Turtle-Snake Great Stance."

If he wanted to gather Qi and become a martial artist this month, the progress of the Turtle-Snake Great Stance had to be raised, otherwise he wouldn't be able to keep up with the progress of the Mountain-Shaking Bear Fist.

And with the harvest from last night, he didn't need to worry about nutrition, so he could practice without restraint.

Arriving at Weiyuan Hall, he found that except for him and Lu Ren, Zhang Yong, Luo Dehu, Tang Ruiyang, and others were all absent.

"They must have gone to hunt exotic beasts!"

Xu Yang hadn't expected that they had only mentioned this to him yesterday, and they had already gone into the mountains today.

"Brother Xu, the Three Harmonies Gang matter was done by you, right?"

Just as he was thinking, Qiu Wenjie sneaked over, his face full of suspicion.

Xu Yang nodded lightly; he had used Soft-Muscle Powder, and an experienced coroner could tell with one examination, so it was normal for Qiu Wenjie to guess it was him.

He just hadn't expected the news to spread so quickly and reach the city.

"Be careful; I heard from my dad that Li Sanhe has already reached Great Success in Qi Gathering and is very difficult to deal with."

Li Sanhe was the leader of the Three Harmonies Gang, a martial artist who had been famous for many years; it could be said that Xu Yang had grown up under Li Sanhe's fierce and vicious power.

Then he laughed again: "However, when you become a martial artist, with the reputation of Weiyuan Hall, even if he knows you did it, he might not dare to provoke you, not to mention you didn't leave any flaws."

When he became a martial artist, it wouldn't be a matter of whether Li Sanhe came to find him or not.

"Do you think the Three Harmonies Gang will fight the Zhang Si Shui Gang?" Xu Yang whispered.

Qiu Wenjie shook his head: "Your methods were a bit clumsy; they probably won't fight. They might think there's a third-party force plotting in the dark and instead become cautious."

"Li Sanhe and Zhang Si Shui are both cunning and cautious people; they won't impulsively fight to the death just because of a few subordinates."

Xu Yang felt somewhat helpless upon hearing this.

He also knew this framing move was clumsy, but he hadn't contacted anyone from the Zhang Si Shui Gang at all, nor did he have time to plan slowly.

However, looking at it now, although they might not necessarily fight, it could buy him some time.

When he returned home that night, what he heard from Xu Qing confirmed this; the Three Harmonies Gang and the Zhang Si Shui Gang hadn't fought, but the atmosphere was a bit tense.

The Three Harmonies Gang hadn't sent anyone to the hall again; he didn't know if they were afraid of more trouble or if they would wait a few days.

They had also sent people to search Bai Shi Workshop, but Xu Yang hadn't brought anything back except for the silver, so the Three Harmonies Gang hadn't found anything.

Time flew by, and on the third day, Zhang Yong and the others returned, all of them radiant and high-spirited.

Following the inner sect brother, they had really hunted an exotic beast, and everyone had shared a sum.

"A-Yang, it was money for nothing; it's a pity you didn't go. We just turned around in the mountains and got this much."

Tang Ruiyang stretched out two fingers: "Two taels, do you know? We each got two taels."

With money, everyone was floating; at the very least, Tang Ruiyang was floating.

In the past, he wouldn't have dared to call Xu Yang "A-Yang"; at the beginning, they all called him Brother Xu.

Even later, when Xu Yang and Lu Ren completely fell out and occasionally spoke, he still called him Brother Xu.

Although everyone wasn't optimistic about Xu Yang, in fact, all of them hoped Xu Yang could gather Qi and give them some hope.

"What a pity; for a person with no courage, even if you give him ten chances, he won't be able to grasp them." Luo Dehu spoke sarcastically.

With money, he felt he could become a martial artist again.

Although two taels were still a bit little, it wasn't like they could only do this once; if they did it two or three more times, becoming a martial artist would be a sure thing.

Xu Yang really wanted to say that he had obtained ten taels two days ago and was drinking body-strengthening soup every day, but after thinking about it, he didn't show off.

"You've disappointed me somewhat." Zhang Yong said.

He had always viewed Xu Yang as an enemy and vowed to surpass Xu Yang; he didn't expect Xu Yang to lack even this bit of ruthlessness.

Xu Yang was somewhat speechless; Zhang Yong spoke to him again because of this kind of thing.

"We're going into the mountains to hunt again in a few days; if you're willing, I'll go talk to Brother Xue Fangsheng, and you can participate. I don't want to surpass you using resources."

On his stern face, a look of seriousness appeared.

"I disagree; if there's one more person, I'll get less. If you want him to join, use your share to split with him."

Xu Yang didn't speak, but Qian Jiaxing spoke up in opposition.

They had agreed with Xue Fangsheng to split 30/70; the seven of them would split 30%, and if there was one more person, it would be eight people splitting.

"I also disagree!" Tang Ruiyang followed closely.

His intestines were already green with regret; if he had known that making money was so easy, he shouldn't have called so many people.

Following a martial artist into the mountains was simply like picking up money.
