Chapter 195: Good and Bad, Visitors to Yihua Palace
"We also heard about this in Qixia Town. Thank you, brother, for sparing his life." Xiao Feng said in a deep voice.
His meaning was very clear, he wanted to take the other person's life himself.
However, when Xiao Feng turned around and looked at Xiao Yuanshan, he temporarily suppressed his hatred.
After all, although Xiao Yuanshan's body had recovered a lot, he was still unable to use his true energy for a short period of time.
If Xiao Feng had not taken Xiao Yuanshan into consideration, with his strength, it would be a piece of cake for him to find and kill someone - even if the other person was Murong Fu.
After spending some time together, Xiao Feng knew Xiao Yuanshan's extremely paranoid personality, so he still hoped that Xiao Yuanshan could kill his enemy personally so that the other party could let go of his worries.
Looking at Xiao Yuanshan again, he was indeed angry when he first heard Murong Fu's name, but soon, the emotion in his eyes was hidden, and instead there was a hint of worry.
Xiao Yuanshan raised his head and looked outside. Unlike before, there was a hint of worry on his face.
"That girl Ah Zhu..."
Xiao Yuanshan hesitated to speak.
After spending some time together, Xiao Yuanshan naturally got to know Ah Zhu much better. He knew that she had worked as a maid in the Murong family's Yanziwu, and that the Murong family had treated her very well.
Xiao Yuanshan's mentality also changed unconsciously.
Xiao Yuanshan even listened to Ah Zhu talk about some trivial things that happened to her in Yanziwu before.
At the beginning, Xiao Yuanshan wanted to know more about his enemy so that it would be easier to take revenge in the future.
But as time went on, Xiao Yuanshan actually felt a little bit of pity.
His desire for revenge was still strong, this was the hatred that had lasted for decades, but he began to consider Ah Zhu's feelings.
From the very beginning, Ah Zhu didn't know that their enemy was the Murong family.
If Murong Fu is really killed one day, it must be done secretly and hidden from Ah Zhu, otherwise she will not be able to accept it.
Xiao Yuanshan is no longer the cold-blooded killer hiding in the dark, but begins to consider his son's happiness.
"Dad, don't worry. With our strength, we can make it perfect when the time comes."
Xiao Feng knew what Xiao Yuanshan was worried about and comforted him.
Only then did Xiao Yuanshan nod.
"Master Li, I wonder how long this old man's injury will last?"
Xiao Yuanshan asked impatiently.
"If it was before, it would probably take more than a year to recover, but now, the situation is more optimistic. In a few months at most, your hidden injuries will be completely cured. However, you will no longer be able to use those Shaolin martial arts in the future."
"well!"
Xiao Yuanshan nodded repeatedly in surprise.
As for not being able to use Shaolin martial arts, he didn't care much.
His martial arts skills were already very high, and he secretly learned the Shaolin skills just to vent his anger.
To deal with Murong Fu, his own martial arts skills are enough.
"Thank you so much, Master Li!"
Xiao Yuanshan rarely showed gratitude.
He had been as hard as a rock for decades, but his recent time at Qianming Martial Arts School had made him feel good again.
He was unable to accept Li Ming's help and dedication with ease.
After thinking for a moment, Xiao Yuanshan spoke.
"If you don't mind, Master Li, after I recover and take revenge, I will stay here with you, whether I'm guarding the door or sweeping the floor, to repay Master Li for his help."
"Dad!" Xiao Feng beside him was moved.
Li Ming was overjoyed.
Isn't this the reason why I have been busy for so long?
There is no pressure in keeping a few more people in your own martial arts school, but a master like Xiao Yuanshan is hard to come by.
What's more, if he stayed, Xiao Feng would not leave either, which was equivalent to the martial arts gym suddenly having two extremely powerful grandmaster-level bodyguards.
"You are too kind, senior. If you don't mind, I will treat this place as your home and you can stay here as long as you want."
Li Ming promised enthusiastically.
After this agreement was reached, the relationship between the two sides became noticeably closer.
Xiao Feng and Li Ming chatted for a while, discussing the progress of the martial arts hall during the period since he left.
Xiao Feng liked the role he played in the Martial Arts Hall very much, and he would go to check out the situation whenever he had nothing to do.
During this period, Yanwu Hall continued to improve the compiled martial arts teaching materials based on practical conditions, and opened up several new routes.
It has to be said that Li Ming's ideas are indeed very advanced. Even when Xiao Feng was the gang leader, he had never thought that it would be possible to train warriors in large quantities in this way.
Among the earliest batch of warriors who began to practice the teachings, some have even quickly broken through to the post-natal realm, and they have since recruited several batches of disciples.
At this rate, it won't be long before another batch of warriors graduate from the martial arts school.
Xiao Feng enjoyed this feeling very much, and in the process, he also felt that his martial arts skills were not wasted.
The two talked about the nearby martial arts gym.
Although it has been quiet for a long time and his colleagues who opened martial arts schools nearby have not come to cause trouble, to be honest, their lives are not easy.
It was okay that Qianming Martial Arts School took away their business at the beginning. At most, they had fewer disciples, but the business could still operate normally.
But recently, with the graduation of disciples from Qianming Martial Arts School, nearby martial arts schools including Guangyang Prefecture have really suffered a blow.
After all, most of those who open martial arts schools do not have very high cultivation levels.
But now, when Qianming Martial Arts School releases its troops, they are at the Postnatal Realm in large numbers, and their strength is much stronger than those at the same level.
This resulted in a large number of competitors suddenly appearing in the market.
A few random disciples returned to their hometowns or other cities to start a martial arts school business. Adding the gimmick of having learned martial arts at Qianming Martial Arts School, their living space was quickly squeezed.
I heard that many small martial arts schools were unable to recruit disciples and were forced to close.
Of course, there are also some smart people.
For example, the Dacheng Martial Arts School in Guangyang Prefecture, when it saw that it could not compete and did not dare to pick a fight with Li Ming, the owner He Qing immediately changed his mind.
He took the opportunity to recruit several post-natal realm warriors who had learned martial arts from Qianming Martial Arts School, cooperated with them to run the martial arts school, and appropriately lowered the price of accepting disciples.
As a result, the effect was excellent and the business of Dacheng Martial Arts School improved a lot.
Seeing this scene, many other martial arts schools also began to follow suit.
After all, many disciples who graduated from Qianming Martial Arts School only had skills but no start-up capital, so it was a good opportunity for both parties to unite and achieve mutual benefit and win-win results.
"They really think it through." Li Ming couldn't help but laugh.
Thinking of the time when He Qing and his gang came to cause trouble, he couldn't help but curl the corners of his mouth.
Ever since he became famous and left them far behind, these people have completely disappeared from Li Ming's sight.
But if you think about it carefully, it seems a bit inhumane to force all the small martial arts schools nearby to go bankrupt.
Although it is the general trend, Li Ming is not an unreasonable person.
After chatting with Xiao Feng, Li Ming said goodbye and left.
After coming out, I first found the Foreign Affairs Hall and asked them to add a new rule.
That is, the martial artists who originally opened small martial arts schools nearby can come to Qianming Martial Arts School to learn martial arts and receive a significant discount on the fees, which is equivalent to compensation for them.
In addition, there are now more and more disciples who have successfully learned martial arts and left Qianming Martial Arts School, and we must strengthen the tracking and supervision of them to prevent anyone from damaging the reputation of the martial arts school.
The disciples of the Foreign Affairs Hall immediately accepted the order. After seeing them off, the disciples of the Law Enforcement Hall came in.
"Master!"
Cui Yuankai, the disciple in charge of the Law Enforcement Hall, bowed and saluted.
He has grown rapidly during the time he has been in charge of the Law Enforcement Hall. Now he is extremely calm, organized, and capable of handling things on his own.
Moreover, his progress in cultivation has not fallen behind. When he first took over the Law Enforcement Hall, he was only at the acquired realm, but now he has already broken through to the innate realm, and is one of the strongest core innate disciples.
Li Ming is very optimistic about him and thinks Cui Yuankai should have the hope of becoming one of the core disciples who enter the Grandmaster realm after his four major disciples.
The only bad thing is that everything he does in the Law Enforcement Hall offends people.
This has also led to his current bad reputation within the martial arts school. Normal disciples avoid disciples from the Law Enforcement Hall as if they were the plague.
Fortunately, the disciples selected for the Law Enforcement Hall are all taciturn, have good character and principles, and are suitable for this job.
But then again, the disciples of the Law Enforcement Hall are the ones who receive the most resources among all the martial arts schools, except for the Martial Arts Research Hall. As a result, the disciples of the Law Enforcement Hall are generally much stronger.
Now, in addition to Cui Yuankai, there are two other people in the Innate Realm.
After Cui Yuankai saluted Li Ming, he handed a letter of intelligence to Li Ming with both hands.
"Master, this is our Law Enforcement Hall's follow-up investigation of the first two batches of fellow disciples who successfully learned martial arts and left the martial arts school."
Cui Yuankai said in a deep voice.
It just so happened that Li Ming had just given the order, but unexpectedly Cui Yuankai had already done it.
Li Ming praised him for his meticulous mind and unfolded the intelligence to take a look.
Cui Yuankai explained on the side.
After leaving the martial arts school, most of the disciples did well, which made Li Ming nod his head repeatedly.
Some people became caravan guards, some returned to their hometowns to protect their hometowns, and many went to other places to open martial arts schools with others...
But when he introduced two of them, Li Ming's face darkened.
Because there are so many people, there will definitely be a mixed bag of good and bad people.
Two people, after leaving the martial arts school and having no one to control them, quickly became corrupted in the martial arts world and committed crimes using their martial arts skills.
A man became a notorious bandit and was wanted by the government after committing several crimes in succession.
The other one became even more depraved and became a flower thief.
After reading it, Li Ming put the information aside, tapped it a few times with his fingers, and then looked at Cui Yuankai.
"We need to increase the number of staff in the Law Enforcement Hall. From now on, you will not only be responsible for matters in the martial arts hall or the town, but also for those disciples who leave the martial arts hall and commit crimes. You will also be responsible for punishing them."
"Yes!"
Cui Yuankai nodded.
"First, let's follow the rules of our martial arts school and enforce the family discipline on these two scums. If you need cooperation, go to the Foreign Affairs Hall."
Li Ming gave some instructions to Cui Yuankai, and then the other party took the order and left.
Li Ming slightly supported his forehead.
It's a good thing that he spreads martial arts, but using martial arts to break the law is not just talk.
The human heart is unpredictable, and anyone who suddenly acquires a strong foundation in martial arts can easily go astray.
Their martial arts school cannot just ignore these bad disciples, as it is responsible for their own reputation.
The room finally became quiet. After thinking for a moment, Li Ming raised his hand and a figure appeared silently beside him.
It was the juggler.
"Tell me, what interesting things are happening in town recently?" Li Ming asked.
In Qixia Town, there is now the Law Enforcement Hall in the open and the Black Stone personnel in secret, which can be said to be omnipresent.
Under their surveillance, nothing that happens in the town can be hidden from Li Ming.
"Master, there are indeed some unusual circumstances."
The juggler reported respectfully.
"Jiang Yuyan has been targeted recently, and according to my subordinates, there are two groups of people targeting her. She is very disturbed by this matter."
"Oh?"
Li Ming raised his eyebrows.
When he came back before, Li Ming had already noticed that Jiang Yuyan seemed to be in a bad mood and looked a little worried.
"Who is it?"
"One group consists of warriors dressed in ordinary clothes. According to my investigation, they were sent by Jiang Biehe and have had some secret contact with Jiang Yuyan."
"The other group is from Yihua Palace, but they are very cautious and have extremely high martial arts skills. I tried several times but didn't dare to approach them. However, I have sent people to monitor them secretly."
The juggler said.
"Jiang Biehe!"
Li Ming understood what was going on and then stood up.
"You lead the way. Since the people from Yihua Palace have come from afar, I, as the host, have to say hello."
"Yes!"
The juggler nodded in agreement.
Outside the Seven Heroes Town——
A simple residence with the door locked so that outsiders cannot see what is going on inside.
In the courtyard, there were several women with gorgeous clothes and charming figures standing there.
They were all very respectful to them both.
A person wearing a veil was sitting in the middle, talking to another woman next to her.
"After observing for a period of time, we can now basically confirm that the martial arts that Jiang Yuyan is practicing is exactly the art of grafting."
"graft!"
When she heard this word, the face hidden under the veil couldn't help but be moved.
"I have always thought that the art of grafting flowers and trees only existed in legends and had long been lost. I never expected that such a little girl would learn it."
Said a cold and aloof voice, mixed with a hint of excitement.
"No wonder. This also explains why the little girl's cultivation progressed so quickly! That disappeared flower slave..."
"If I'm not mistaken, Hua Nu's power should have been absorbed by her."
"When I was practicing the Wedding Dress Divine Art, my master warned me that the biggest nemesis of this art is the lost art of flower-transfer and tree-transplant. Now that this little girl has mastered it, there are only two options left for me."
"Either die! Or torture this technique out of her. It can only be mastered by us in the Yihua Palace!"
"What my sister said makes sense, but after observing for so long, it's not easy to take action in Qianming Martial Arts School. I have a feeling that in addition to the crazy Zhou Botong, there should be a grandmaster in charge of the martial arts school, whose strength is no less than you and me. Now that Li Ming is back, it's even more..."
"When did my Yihua Palace become so afraid of people? Jiang Yuyan's martial arts were also taught by Li Ming. I would like to ask him where he stole our unique skills from!"
The majestic voice said this, and suddenly someone on the wall responded.
"Then I won't bother you two palace masters to make this trip. If you have any questions, please feel free to ask."
