Chapter 119: Personal Instruction on Secret Techniques, Moving House to Avoid Disaster

Fame must be sought early!

Zhou You had a fight with the flower-picking thief this time; although he looked a bit disheveled, he had directly made a name for himself.

The flower-picking thief was rampaging through the city, and how many experts were helpless against him!

This guy was very cunning, relying on his powerful Lightness Skill to fight a guerrilla war, and a group of Qi and Blood Disciples were teased by him until they were spinning in circles.

If it weren't for Zhou You entangling him with his Lightness Skill and injuring the other's arm, this guy would still be at large.

"Zhou You, well done, you vented my anger for me."

Afterwards, Senior Brother Shen Sijing praised him endlessly.

He felt very unhappy in his heart, having specifically guarded his younger sister, yet he was still sought out by the flower-picking thief, who almost took advantage of the situation.

Zhou You injured the flower-picking thief, causing him to expose his tracks, and he was forced to flee in a sorry state after being surrounded by the Hunting Team.

Shen Sijing appreciated this little brother all the more.

"By the way, the look Zhong Shaoying gave you was quite vicious; this guy is narrow-minded."

Just now, while the Hall Master was present, Shen Sijing noticed the hatred in Zhong Shaoying's eyes.

"A mad dog."

Zhou You said it nonchalantly.

Shen Sijing was stunned; he thought Zhou You should at least be worried, but he didn't expect him to be so calm and composed.

The other party was a Qi and Blood Disciple, and even a famous expert in the Inner Courtyard.

Whether in terms of strength or seniority, Zhou You was far from being comparable to Zhong Shaoying, yet he wasn't afraid of him?

"Good, a martial artist should have this kind of momentum."

As the two were talking, an uninvited guest barged in.

"Zhou You, you kicked and broke Shen Sanhe's leg bone, and almost let the flower-picking thief capture the young lady."

"Others might be fooled by you, but you can't fool me."

Zhong Shaoying came with a cold face, pointing at Zhou You and lecturing him.

"Watch yourself in the future; as long as I discover anything wrong, I will surely take your life."

Shen Sijing's face sank; threatening Zhou You right in front of him, what did he take his Senior Brother Shen for?

He immediately erupted, "Zhong Shaoying, based on you, you still can't touch Zhou You!"

This was the truth; for an Inner Court Disciple to beat or injure an Outer Court Apprentice, it was very easy to smooth things over.

But Zhou You was not an ordinary Outer Court Apprentice; he was the Winged Tiger who had made a name for himself, and he was even exceptionally taught the Three-Fold Technique and Tiger Aura by the Hall Master, belonging to a key focus object. If the Jian Xiong Martial Hall had an annual selection, Zhou You could at least win a 'Star of Tomorrow' or 'Outstanding Apprentice of the Year'.

With his status, he was not someone Zhong Shaoying could just beat or kill at will.

What's more, Zhou You was also a little brother valued by Shen Sijing, already destined to be his right-hand man in the future.

Shen Sijing would inherit the trading firm in the future and had already decided on his confidants; originally it was Xu Ying, but Zhou You had come from behind and was now ranked alongside Xu Ying as a right-hand man.

"Shen Sijing, don't think that just because you're wearing a tiger skin, you aren't a big fat pig."

Zhong Shaoying said contemptuously, "A merchant family with shallow foundations; your vast wealth is just a pile of withered grass that will be scattered by a gust of wind."

"Others might not know, but you and I both know, how many of the caravans sent out recently have returned?"

"The business of the Shen Family Trading Firm is going to suffer a bloody loss this year."

"If you keep losing money like this, the day when you, the young master of the Shen family, hold a broken bowl and beg on the street is not far off, and by then..."

Zhong Shaoying's tone was vicious, spitting out a series of words that dug into people's scars.

Zhou You took a few steps back to make room for Senior Brother Shen.

"Zhong Shaoying, have I given you too much face?"

A gray-white air current flashed across Shen Sijing's face, and he threw a punch, with a Hu Zhua the size of a wine jar appearing in the air.

Driven by Qi and Blood, his moves left traces in the void, and the momentum was terrifying.

Zhong Shaoying immediately counterattacked, twisting his waist to lash out with a whip kick, tearing the air and emitting a shrill whistle.

Both were Qi and Blood martial artists from the same school; one used fists and the other used legs, but their styles were generally similar.

Zhou You watched from the sidelines, like sitting on a mountain watching tigers fight; before him were two human-shaped fierce tigers fighting a bloody battle.

Thump, thump, thump! "Zhong Shaoying, you are a mud-legged person from a farming background, who gave you the confidence to look down on people!" "Whoosh, whoosh, scholars, farmers, artisans, and merchants—what rank are you?"

Shen Sijing and Zhong Shaoying exchanged a move for every sentence they spoke.

The distance between them grew closer, and the force of the wind became more terrifying, compressed into thin lines sharper than razor blades.

Zhou You stood at the edge of a ten-step distance, observing the exchange between Qi and Blood at close range, and gained a lot.

Both of them mainly practiced the path of the Subduing Tiger Fist, although it was mixed with other things.

Taken together, it was of great benefit to Zhou You.

"So that's how it is; the Qi and Blood-driven Subduing Tiger Fist hides so many details and tricks."

Zhou You seized the rare opportunity, his eyes quickly capturing every detail of the exchange.

Suddenly, Zhong Shaoying let out a roar, "Shen Sijing, you bastard, you plotted against me."

The roar vaguely carried a growl, shaking people's eardrums until they hurt.

A cluster of fist flowers exploded in mid-air, and the two figures were pushed back repeatedly by the huge impact.

A moment later, Shen Sijing and Zhong Shaoying stood twenty meters apart and finally steadied their footing.

"Shen Sijing, is playing little tricks fun?"

Zhong Shaoying was furious, pointing at Zhou You, "Didn't you just want to drag me into a fight so this kid could see the Qi and Blood-driven Subduing Tiger Fist with his own eyes and accumulate experience for his breakthrough?"

"That's because you're stupid; did you really think I was bored enough to waste my breath on you?"

Shen Sijing turned to nod at Zhou You, "How was it?"

"Crystal clear, many thanks, Senior Brother Shen."

Only then did Zhou You realize Shen Sijing's intentions, and a sense of gratitude welled up in his heart.

The many benefits Shen Sijing had previously provided could not compare to the profound sincerity of today's fight.

Zhong Shaoying clearly did not want to do the thankless work for others, cursing and swearing as he left, throwing out harsh threats.

This is a martial arts hall; a small fight is fine, but if it gets too big, it will be hard to resolve.

The master's family is still in the backyard!

"Zhou You, a refined strength is a step up to the Blood-Qi Barrier, but it is also a shackle."

"Anything, as long as you are proficient in it, will lead to dependency."

"Look at Xu Ying, who has been stuck for over a decade; it is not that he is not hardworking, but that he hasn't found a breakthrough."

"I will give you one piece of advice: destroy to build, for there is no building without destroying."

After Shen Sijing finished speaking, he patted Zhou You on the shoulder, "I am not being biased; I have said the same thing to Xu Ying once before."

"Alas, knowing is easy but doing is hard; let us not speak of him for now!"

"As for you, act as you see fit!"

Shen Sijing left Zhou You with a meaningful silhouette as he walked away.

Before leaving, he also reminded Zhou You that he must move his parents as soon as possible.

The Flower-Plucking Thief escaped while injured, his life or death unknown; if he were to return to take revenge on Zhou You...

Zhou You is famous now, so finding out where his family lives is not difficult, and danger is closing in.

His family is small and humble; besides his parents, there is not even anyone to keep watch at night.

"The original home can no longer be lived in."

Zhou You pondered for a moment; there is still a set of keys at home for Wu Yanyi's old house.

Since Wu Yanyi's wife and children moved away, this old house has been vacant, and the neighbors on both sides know it.

He will lie low for a while, and once the Flower-Plucking Thief is dead and the crisis is resolved, he will move out of that old house.

Zhou You thought about taking this opportunity to change houses; the original place was small and dilapidated, and it had long since become insufficient.
