"Quick, short, and soft?
I'm afraid it's the other way around. If you hadn't tried it, then I wouldn't blame you. But you have to experience it yourself. This is a typical slander! "My tone was filled with dissatisfaction.
"Pfft, shameless fellow." Witch Ye Ji couldn't hide her embarrassment.
"Anyway, don't be stupid. As the saying goes, it's better to live a bad life than to die a good death. No matter what, you have hundreds of years of experience. Don't you understand this?" I couldn't help but question.
"Bastard, I don't need you to tell me what to do!" Witch Ye Ji was furious.
"Okay, okay, continue to reflect. It seems that this short period of reflection didn't work at all," I said indifferently.
Then, I ignored Witch Ye Ji. No matter how noisy she was, I still turned a deaf ear.
After about half an hour, we arrived at the underground black market.
Although it was said to be underground, it was actually a majestic building. However, from the outside, I couldn't see any clues at all.
Under Grandmaster Chen's lead, I entered without any obstructions. After walking for a while, a middle-aged man walked over. He was dressed in a way that gave off a scholarly aura.
"Brother Chen, how have you been?"
"Ah ha, Brother Zou, you're here too," Grandmaster Chen said with a smile.
Soon, the middle-aged man's attention fell on me.
"This must be your beloved disciple, Zhuang Feng?" He took the initiative to greet me.
"Yes, I didn't think that Brother Zou would know him too." Grandmaster Chen was flattered.
This person's name was Zou Chengyun. He was from the same sect as Chen Muchun. However, ten years ago, he joined Xingxiu Sect. Now, he held the position of deacon in the sect. He could barely be considered as one of the higher-ups.
Although he didn't have much power, as a member of the martial arts world, his level was higher than Grandmaster Chen's. Even if Grandmaster Chen had raised an extremely dazzling genius, he still couldn't be compared to him.
"Of course I know. He's a famous person. All the famous families in the capital are afraid of him. He even dared to kill the Zhang Family's little brat. Newborn calves aren't afraid of tigers." Zou Cheng Yun teased.
As soon as these words left his mouth, his tone changed. Even a three-year-old child would be able to discern the sarcasm in his words.
As the saying goes, the speaker didn't mean it, but the listener did. I had some thoughts in my head. The tragic death of the young master of the Zhang family was just an accident. However, until now, I hadn't figured out who was controlling that gun.
Since there wasn't a definite conclusion, the outside world thought that I wanted to punish the Zhang family, and I didn't deny it. At that time, there were a lot of people present. This explosive topic spread from one to ten, and from the nobles to the common people, almost everyone knew about it. It was just that they didn't talk about it in public.
The Zhang family was one of the top families in the capital. Even after suffering such a loss, they still pretended to be deaf and mute. This caused a lot of people to gloat, saying that the Zhang family didn't have the guts to be bullied by others.
Of course, those who spoke up didn't rule out the possibility that they were deliberately making trouble for the Zhang family. After all, a tall tree attracts the wind. These years, the Zhang family had many enemies. Anyway, it didn't matter if it was a big deal or not. If they could push the Zhang family into the limelight without paying too much, it would be a great opportunity.
Speaking of which, I also felt a little strange. I couldn't deny that I had established a strong deterrent force. Moreover, in the eyes of most people, I was lenient. During the dojo challenge, I didn't have the power to resist, but I gave up in time.
If the competition continued, I was afraid that those who met me would also choose to give up. That way, I would be able to win the championship, and the Zhang family would have to pay five billion. Even the old man of the Zhang family, after careful consideration, took out a landmark building in the capital to make up for the loss. Only in this way would the Zhang family's background not be exposed. Although they would suffer a great loss, they could avoid the limelight.
However, my decision saved them a lot of losses and prevented them from becoming enemies with the Zhang family.
However, this misunderstanding made the outside world think that the Zhang family and I were at loggerheads.
As for what the Zhang family was thinking, I didn't know. From their point of view, it was possible that they would make a move against me. Perhaps it was necessary to investigate this matter.
As my imagination ran wild, Grandmaster Chen's face slightly stiffened. He looked a little embarrassed. "Brother Zou, you must be joking. Why are you here?"
"Brother Chen, aren't you ill-informed?
Or did they not inform you? Today, at the underground black market, there will be a Jiangwu exchange meeting. As a special guest, I am here to give some pointers. "Zou Chengyun said with a smile. Between his movements, he exuded a strong sense of superiority.
In fact, everyone's choice was different. In Grandmaster Chen's era, he faced all kinds of temptations. There was money, power, beauty, and so on. Under such circumstances, not many people could resist the temptation. As the saying goes, everyone has their own ambitions. At that time, there were martial arts sects that invited Grandmaster Chen. Because in terms of inner strength, only Shaolin could be considered orthodox. However, Shaolin did not choose him, so Grandmaster Chen resolutely refused.
In the blink of an eye, many years had passed. Zou Chengyun was a deacon of the Xingxiu sect. In the martial arts world, he was an existence that could summon the wind and summon the rain. Even the leader of the True Martial Pavilion, Sui Yunxiao, had to treat him with respect.
This also proved that it was better to be the head of a chicken than the tail of a cow. Everyone's choice was different. It was hard to say who was right and who was wrong.
"Oh, when we have time, let's get together and have a drink." Grandmaster Chen's face was full of realization.
"Don't, I'm very busy. I've already booked the plane tickets for tonight. Tonight, the special guests from our sects are having a gathering. If we have the chance in the future, let's drink again," Zhou Chengyun said casually with a wave of his hand.
"Alright …" Grandmaster Chen replied.
"Oh right, Brother Chen, if your disciple is lucky enough to be chosen by the guests from the major sects, we can have a meal together. Do you want to join in the fun?" Zou Chengyun said with a playful smile.
