He had to admit that Chu Zhou City's influence in the province was far greater than Yun City's. Moreover, the Zhong family was a powerful family in Chu Zhou City. Even though Director Qu had been promoted to the Director of the Public Security Bureau, he was still afraid of them. However, he knew that he had been able to climb to his current position because of my help.
After becoming an ordinary person, Director Qu had never thought that he could be reinstated. When he received the notification, he couldn't help but sigh. The happiness had come so suddenly that he even thought that he was dreaming.
Of course, Director Qu had always been a loyal man. He had risked his life to help me because he thought highly of me. Now, he would definitely side with me unconditionally.
"Young Master Zhong, you are a well-known figure in the province. You are making things difficult for me by acting so recklessly." Director Qu sighed and blamed him.
Zhong Yuchen was a little embarrassed. If he could defeat me, he would be able to straighten his back. But now, he was injured. Looking at me, he looked as if nothing had happened. It was really incredible. According to the unique characteristics of the Seven Wounding Fists, even an ordinary HuaJin Master would be seriously injured if he fought him head-on.
However, after considering the characteristics of the Muscle Tendon Changing Scripture's fifth circulation cycle, Zhong Yuchen felt a little relieved. But more than that, he felt envy and jealousy. From the looks of it, there were only two possibilities. Either he had hidden his strength and was pretending to be a pig to eat the tiger, or he had gotten lucky and stepped into the fifth circulation cycle in the midst of an intense battle!
Moreover, Zhong Yuchen had pretended to be domineering just now. Now, he had a headache and was afraid of exposing his current situation. He had to suffer in silence and couldn't say it out loud.
Zhong Yuchen had never suffered like this since he started practicing martial arts when he was young. If I was right, I should have noticed something.
"Ahem, Director Qu, I'm sorry. I was too impulsive and caused some misunderstanding. I am willing to pay the price for what I did. This bank is old, so we can renovate it according to the standard of the big banks in the provincial city. No matter how much it costs, I, Zhong Yuchen, will pay for it."
He had planned to pay for some office supplies, but seeing the mess around, he knew that the bank couldn't operate as usual in a short period of time, so he decided to pay for it.
"That's a good idea. What do you think?"
Director Qu smiled. He was worried that Zhong Yuchen would be too aggressive, which would be difficult to deal with. This kind of thing could be big or small.
It just so happened that the manager of the bank was also here. Seeing that Director Qu was so polite, he naturally agreed readily.
Then, Zhong Yuchen struggled to get up and apologized to me. "Ahem, Brother Zhuang, this is just a misunderstanding. I didn't mean any harm. I just wanted to cooperate with you for a win-win situation. Since Brother Zhuang doesn't want to cooperate with me, let's just forget about it. As the saying goes, 'no discord, no concord'. Now that we know each other, if you go to Chuzhou to play, I will definitely take care of you!"
Zhong Yuchen patted his chest and promised. He was quite forthright. His previous overbearing and unyielding attitude was instantly gone.
As expected, there were times when reasoning wouldn't work. You had to rely on your fists to solve the problem. Fortunately, I had entered the fifth cycle by a fluke. Otherwise, it would have been impossible for me to come out unscathed.
This was also due to the fact that the Blood Demon had used my body to exchange blows with the two peak experts. Not only had my body's toughness increased, but my resistance to pressure had also increased significantly.
"Well, I won't argue with you this time. Remember, don't take things by force in the future. It's easy to burn yourself if you play with fire."
I patted him on the shoulder. Zhong Yuchen was startled. I raised my hand too quickly, and he didn't even have time to react.
If it had been a killing move, he would have become a corpse!
In just a short period of time, my body had undergone an earth-shattering change.
"Thank you for your teachings, Brother Zhuang."
Zhong Yuchen cupped his fists. He had left in a hurry, so he didn't bring any divine weapons with him. Otherwise, he wouldn't have ended up like this. He thought that he could defeat me with his bare hands, but the result was unexpected.
After a while, Zhong Yuchen left his contact number with the bank manager and left in disgrace.
I thought that this was the end of the matter, but the drastic change that happened later was out of control. It also made me regret it … However, these are all stories in the future, so let's not talk about it for the time being. After all, in life, people have to face choices and decisions all the time. It's impossible to be accurate every time. As the saying goes, people make mistakes, and horses stumble.
After Zhong Yuchen left, Qian Duoduo and the others had a look of lingering fear on their faces. They naturally knew that there were martial arts masters, but they did not expect them to be so terrifying. The destruction of the scene was no less than that of a gunfight.
"Xiao Zhuang, although you defeated Young Master Zhong, it also means that you have offended the Zhong family. In fact, this is not a good thing."
Qian Duoduo's face was slightly solemn. The best result would have been for me to give up part of the shares for Young Master Zhong's sake.
However, Zhong Yuchen fought at the slightest disagreement. Although he seemed to be smiling on the surface, the relationship between them had been strained. Compared with the Ouyang family in Kuncheng, the Zhong family's foundation could not be underestimated. They even had more achievements in martial arts.
After all, the Ouyang family only had one backbone, and that was Master Ouyang. As for the Zhong family, they had cultivated more than a dozen Covert Power martial artists. The most important thing was that these geniuses almost didn't rely on elixirs, but on their own talents. It was said that ten years ago, the Zhong family gave birth to the second HuaJin Master. Of course, this was not necessarily true. After all, it was not strange for a martial arts family to boast about themselves.
"It's okay. It's okay to offend him."
I shrugged. Since things had come to this, there was no need to worry about it. In the fierce confrontation just now, if it weren't for my good luck, even if I didn't die, I would have lost half of my life. I was already giving Zhong Yuchen face by not being aggressive. If he wanted to make a comeback, I didn't mind fighting back.
As the saying goes, soldiers with arms, water with an earth weir. Now, I had successfully stepped into the fifth cycle of Yi Muscle-bone Jing. It was not an exaggeration to say that I could break mountains with a breath. Of course, it was the kind of "fake mountain" that people could admire.
However, it was still quite terrifying. Moreover, my own internal strength and Gang Qi had made a qualitative leap. It was not an exaggeration to say that with the Golden Snake Sword, I could completely compete with Old Ouyang!
This was a shocking thing. The difference between the peak of Covert Power and HuaJin Master was only a small realm, but it could determine the fate of a martial artist.
