Chapter 70: Encounter on the Road

"Alright!"

Xu Yang did not hesitate at all and was about to leave with this woman when he heard Bao Gang's voice ring out: "Wait!"

Everyone looked at Bao Gang in confusion, only to hear him continue in a deep voice: "I am a disciple of the Tiger Roar Fist Hall; Xu Yang only comes from Weiyuan Martial Arts Hall. It would be safer for me to escort the Fifth Young Lady."

The implication was that he was stronger than Xu Yang.

To outsiders, this was indeed the case.

Because the ranking of the Tiger Roar Fist Hall among the many martial arts halls in Qingyuan County was far above Weiyuan Martial Arts Hall.

The apprenticeship fee for Weiyuan Martial Arts Hall was only two silver taels a month, while the Tiger Roar Fist Hall dared to charge three, and it had more disciples than Weiyuan Martial Arts Hall.

Xu Yang did not speak but looked at Zhang Bo.

He roughly knew Bao Gang's intentions; it was nothing more than wanting to use this opportunity to get close to the Liu residence's Fifth Young Lady, and then gain both the person and the wealth.

A marriage alliance between a wealthy family and a Qi Gathering martial artist was the norm in the martial arts world of Qingyuan County, but it wasn't that every Qi Gathering martial artist could be appreciated by a wealthy family as soon as they made a name for themselves. Many people relied on opportunities while serving as retainers to gain the favor of young ladies from wealthy families.

"No need, let this Retainer Xu go!"

At this moment, the voice of the woman dressed as a maid rang out.

Zhang Bo nodded and said: "Xu Yang, follow Miss Cui'er. Remember to protect the Fifth Young Lady well and listen to the Fifth Young Lady's arrangements."

"Alright!"

Xu Yang nodded and followed the woman named Cui'er to quickly leave the Retainer Courtyard.

"Brother Zhang Bo, my strength is clearly stronger than Xu Yang's; why didn't you arrange for me to go?"

After Xu Yang left, Bao Gang was still somewhat unwilling.

"My strength is stronger; why don't I go?" Zhang Bo said sarcastically.

He had served the Liu family for over a dozen years and had seen countless young people who had just come out of martial arts halls, so he naturally knew Bao Gang's little scheme. ===== CHAPTER 71 =====
