Chapter 13: The Master of Dacheng Hall Visits in Person

After having the first batch of disciples, the martial arts school was finally not as deserted as before, and it finally looked like a proper martial arts school.

Correspondingly, Li Ming no longer had to do the daily chores such as organizing items, cleaning the courtyard, moving miscellaneous items, and welcoming guests, and these tasks naturally fell to his disciples.

At the beginning, these new disciples were a little nervous.

Because they came here after hearing about Li Ming's battle achievements, they were all worried that since Li Ming had such strength, his severity would probably be far beyond ordinary.

But after spending some time together, they found that Li Ming was not only about the same age as them, but also not very strict.

Compared to the martial artists in other martial arts schools in this world, who treat their disciples as vassals, beat or scold them, and often dislike their stupid behavior, Li Ming can be said to be extremely easy-going. His only requirement for his disciples is to let them work hard in martial arts.

Therefore, after the disciples gradually became familiar with him, they were no longer so afraid of him.

However, the only thing that made the new disciples laugh and cry was that there was inexplicably a senior sister above them - Mo Xiaobei!

Last time, after careful consideration, Shopkeeper Tong decided to allow Mo Xiaobei to learn martial arts, but he only asked her not to fall behind in her studies. Ultimately, he still believed in Li Ming's character.

But Tong Xiangyu was not ignorant of the ways of the world. She knew that she could not take advantage of Li Ming and let him teach her in vain.

Although she felt pressured by the two hundred taels threshold, she still wanted to pay some money as a token of her appreciation, but was rejected by Li Ming.

Tong Xiangyu did not insist and accepted the favor. She instead promised Li Ming that he could eat for free at Tongfu Inn in the future as a token of her appreciation.

Now that he doesn't have to hide it anymore, Mo Xiaobei goes to the martial arts gym more frequently.

She is not only practicing martial arts now, but also showing off.

As soon as they entered the door of Qianming Martial Arts School, the new disciples on both sides greeted Mo Xiaobei, calling her "Senior Sister" one after another.

Mo Xiaobei pretended to be old, put his hands behind his back, walked in a square step, and nodded repeatedly, obviously enjoying it very much.

The disciples couldn't help but smile when they saw this, but no one objected.

They were a little surprised about Mo Xiaobei at first, but later they learned that this little girl was actually the leader of the Hengshan School and had an extraordinary talent for martial arts. They no longer dared to look down on her. Instead, they gave her a thumbs up and secretly felt lucky that their decision was correct.

The owner of the martial arts hall, Li Ming, is indeed extraordinary. He was able to receive the head of the Hengshan School, one of the Five Great Sword Sects, as a disciple and learn martial arts from them. The two hundred taels he spent was truly worth it, and it also indirectly shows how powerful his martial arts hall is!

As a result, the disciples not only had no objections, but instead had a stronger sense of belonging, and they looked at their own master with a bit more aura.

In addition to teaching his apprentices how to run a martial arts school, Li Ming's biggest task these days is to teach kung fu to the young and strong men selected from the town.

The martial arts taught to them was called Four-Direction Tiger-Wolf Fist, which was specially selected by Li Ming from the mall.

It is called boxing, but in fact it also includes some weapon fighting techniques.

What is more important is that the style is suitable, the threshold is low, the content is not difficult to understand, and it has low requirements for martial arts talent. Even if people with no talent practice it, as long as they are willing to work hard, there will always be results. It’s just a matter of speed of progress.

In addition, this boxing style is very suitable for group practice. It itself evolved from military boxing and contains some simple formation content, which just meets their needs.

The bandits from last time have been handed over to the higher-level government office, but ever since they showed up, Qixia Town has been shrouded in an atmosphere of worry, fearing that the bandits might suddenly show up one day, so everyone has been practicing extra diligently.

To Li Ming's surprise, their practice of the Four-Direction Tiger-Wolf Fist could actually bring in a few attribute points.

He guessed that this might be considered as a business taken on by the martial arts school, so the energy spent by everyone in practicing martial arts could bring some profit.

In such a fulfilling atmosphere, several days passed quickly.

"Hey! Ta!"

In Qianming Martial Arts School, the new disciples were practicing martial arts diligently, and from time to time, low shouts of them gathering strength or strengthening their muscles could be heard.

In an open space in the corner of the yard, Li Ming had just taught Xiaomi the last bit of the Three Strikes of the Panlong.

There was no way. Xiaomi’s aptitude was average. Although it was just a simple martial art, he still spent so many days learning it.

But Xiaomi was very diligent and didn't slack off. It seemed that he took the Beggars' Sect's martial arts competition very seriously. After Li Ming finished teaching, he also took advantage of the martial arts hall, constantly practicing his moves and thinking secretly.

At the door, a disciple named Xu Kun was on duty. This kind of thing was done by the disciples in turns, and today was his turn.

"Hello, are you here for..."

When Xu Kun saw someone coming to the entrance of the martial arts gym, he thought that the person was there to become a disciple. He was about to ask, but when he looked up he was stunned.

Because the person in front of him was actually an elderly man, and next to him was a middle-aged man who was wearing the black clothes of a constable.

Judging from his age, he doesn’t look like someone who wants to learn martial arts.

The old man ignored Xu Kun and instead looked inside the martial arts hall, scanning the area and slightly tilting his face.

"Guangyun, what do you think?"

The captain of the police next to him was also looking at the situation in the martial arts hall. He took in the scene of the disciples practicing martial arts and nodded involuntarily.

"At this glance, I can see five or six completely different martial arts styles. It seems that this Master Li is indeed a wonderful person, and he has learned a lot."

Seeing that the two men had unusual conversation and one of them was from the government office, Xu Kun did not dare to neglect them and stepped forward to question them again.

"This is Captain Li from Guangyang Prefecture. I came here with him and want to see your owner."

As he was talking, Li Ming came over and said, "This is me. May I ask what you two can say for me?"

The other disciples in the martial arts hall, as well as the residents of the Seven Heroes Town on the street, also noticed what was happening. They couldn't help but slow down what they were doing and focus their attention.

"Is this Master Li?"

The old man looked him up and down with an interested look on his face, then he sighed.

"Master Li is indeed younger than I thought."

The old man then introduced himself with a smile: "I am He Qing, the owner of Dacheng Martial Arts School."

"Dacheng Martial Arts School!"

When everyone heard these four words, their hearts suddenly tightened!
Especially the new disciples Li Ming accepted, they didn't care about practicing martial arts anymore, they all gathered around.

They all knew that Li Ming became famous by trampling on Dacheng Martial Arts School. The two sides had a grudge against each other. Now that the owner of the other school had come to them in person, didn't he want to challenge the school?
Although the disciples have not been following Li Ming for long, they have already established a sense of belonging, and will of course stand firmly by the side of the master if anything happens.

Li Ming waved his hand and asked them to stay calm for a while.

At the moment, the other party does not seem to show much malice, otherwise he would not have said that. His attention shifted to the head of the police.

The other party immediately stepped forward, took out a brocade box he carried with him, and handed it over with both hands.

"Master Li, I am Li Guangyun, the chief constable of Guangyang Prefecture. I am here to give you something. You have captured the Baijiang duo who were offered a bounty by the government. This is the 500 taels bounty promised by our government. Please accept it."

That's it!

Everyone breathed a sigh of relief, and the disciples of Qianming Martial Arts School felt quite proud and honored.

This was what he deserved, so Li Ming did not refuse and nodded. Naturally, the disciple next to him came forward to take it.

Then all eyes shifted to the old man.

"Master He, what can you do for me?"

He Qing laughed and said, "I came here this time because I have something good to discuss with Master Li. I wonder if I can have a word with you?"
