Chaotic World of Martial Arts: I Have a Spirit Pearl of Desire

"Young Master Fang, you've arrived."

Chen You cupped his hands in greeting.

Fang Zheng stood with his hands behind his back, smiling as he said, "Well, how's it going with your Senior Sister Yang Zhenzhen? Have you had any success with your fishing lately?"

Chen You feigned disappointment: "Don't even mention it. Lately, I haven't been able to catch any fish, let alone precious ones. I'm thinking of returning my fishing rod to Senior Brother Gao."

"Hahaha……"

Seeing Chen You's dejected look, Fang Zheng felt a surge of pleasure.

"It's been too cold lately, so don't fish. That's normal, take it slow."

"Well, that's the only way."

"Okay, I'll go in first!" Fang Zheng said, leading his entourage into the martial arts hall.

Why is Fang Zheng looking for Senior Sister Yang?

Chen You's mind stirred, and he whispered, "Investigate information about me in the vicinity."

[Information 1: The battle between Baicaotang and the Black Tiger Gang is intensifying! Both forces desperately need external assistance! Fang Zheng thought of Yanyang Martial Arts School, with whom they have cooperated extensively.]

He keenly sensed that Yang Zhenzhen seemed interested in him! So he took the initiative to approach Yang Zhenzhen, wanting to win her over.

In this way, the Yan Yang Martial Arts School will become a major force within his Bai Cao Tang.

"So that's what they were planning! No, I'll have to remind Senior Sister Yang later..."

[Information 2: Feng Liqiang of the Black Tiger Gang was ambushed by a master nicknamed "Mad Dog" from the Hundred Herbs Hall and seriously injured!! His strength is insufficient for the late stage of the First Rank!]

He captured some of Baicaotang's employees and learned from them that Baicaotang had indeed not killed Lin Hu.

This made him hesitant, feeling that it would be unwise to rashly start a war with Baicaotang.

He thought of you, felt there was something fishy about finding Lin Huzang's belongings that day, and suspected something was wrong with you!!!

He sent two of his men to your house to look for you and ask you questions.

……

"This Feng Liqiang is quite alert; upon reviewing the events, he actually discovered some clues!"

Chen You frowned: "No, we can't let him live. Otherwise, if he keeps scheming against us, he'll eventually suspect that I'm the one who sowed discord between us."

[Information 3: When Senior Sister Yang Zhenzhen learned that Fang Zheng was coming, she specially changed into a beautiful dress and wore the shoes you bought.]

"No way, you like him that much..."

Chen You sighed. She could tell that Yang Zhenzhen was a hopeless romantic.

A moment later, when Chen You walked back to his front door, he saw two shady-looking men loitering by the roadside in the distance.

His gaze sharpened slightly, and he immediately recognized the two men as henchmen of Feng Liqiang, the leader of the Black Tiger Gang.

He immediately forced a smile and greeted them, "Gentlemen, what brings you here?"

"Hey, Brother Chen, we've been waiting for you!" The tall man immediately puffed out his chest and looked at Chen You arrogantly. "Our leader has some questions for you. Come with us right away."

Chen You scratched his head, feigning some embarrassment, "Didn't you already ask me several times before? Why are you asking again? What happened?"

"There must be something more important! Stop talking nonsense and hurry up, don't dawdle!" the tall man urged impatiently.

"Alright then. But I need to go back to my room first and tell my family so they won't worry."

"Okay, okay, hurry up!"

A moment later, Chen You returned to the room to comfort the worried Xu Qiuxue and Xu Yue sisters, then closed the door and obediently followed the two followers away.

Walking down the somewhat deserted street, Chen You lowered his voice and inquired, "By the way, brothers, things have been pretty chaotic on the streets lately. I heard that your Black Tiger Gang has recently gotten into a fight with Bai Cao Tang?"

"Nonsense!" The short henchman spat and cursed angrily, "Those bastards from Baicaotang not only secretly stole our medicine, but they also killed Lin Hu and several of his brothers last time! If we swallow this insult, how can our Black Tiger Gang ever show our faces in Qinghe County again? We'll definitely get our revenge!"

Chen You feigned fear and nodded repeatedly, saying, "Then you really have to be careful. The people from Baicaotang are ruthless and love to launch sneak attacks. Especially Hall Master Feng, I heard he's been injured recently, so you'd better hide him well and not let the people from Baicaotang target him."

"Hey, you're just worrying about things that don't concern you!" The tall henchman sneered smugly, his expression arrogant. "Our leader is wise and mighty. The place where he's healing and hiding is extremely well-hidden. Right now, apart from a few of our trusted confidants, even people from other branches within the gang who are on good terms with him don't know about it! Even if the people from Baicaotang searched every inch of Qinghe County, they wouldn't find a single trace of our leader's clothes!"

Listening to the tall follower's boastful words, Chen You lowered his eyelids slightly, concealing the cold killing intent that flashed deep in his eyes.

Sure enough, no one knew where he was hiding.

That's good, that's good!

From the two henchmen, Chen You realized that they didn't know why Feng Liqiang was looking for him either.

All they know how to do is ask questions.

Therefore, it seems that Feng Liqiang's attempt to sow discord was merely his own speculation, and he had not yet told anyone else.

…………

At this moment, in a secluded courtyard.

Feng Liqiang was drinking and eating meat with two of his men.

The floor was littered with bone fragments and leftover scraps, and the room reeked of alcohol and sweat.

Feng Liqiang looked rather comical at this moment, with one arm in a sling around his neck and his head wrapped in layers of gauze, looking just like a mummy dug out of the ground.

"Damn it!" Feng Liqiang gulped down a mouthful of wine, which aggravated his wound, causing him to grimace and curse, "That mad dog from Baicaotang, how dare he scheme against me!!"

"Master, please calm down. The doctor said you should rest and recuperate, and the gang leader also instructed you to avoid worrying too much lately," the subordinate quickly advised.

"I'm so frustrated!" Feng Liqiang sneered. "Those bastards from Baicaotang, they did something but don't dare admit it, they're cowards!"

At this moment, a henchman stepped forward and hesitated, saying, "Master, do you think... it really wasn't Baicaotang who did it? That kid Lin Hu might have colluded with Baicaotang willingly? Maybe he wanted to steal the medicinal herbs himself?"

Feng Liqiang slammed his wine glass down, his eyes turning sinister: "These past few days, even while I've been lying in bed, I've felt something's off about this whole thing. Tell me, how did that poor bastard surnamed Chen manage to find the filth in the well so easily? Could he have put it there himself?"

"Master, didn't you already send someone to bring him away? Once he arrives, we can give him a good beating."

Feng Liqiang sneered, his face full of malice: "Hmph, better to kill the innocent than let the guilty go free! Even if it has nothing to do with him, killing him is as easy as stepping on an ant. Tonight, you two go and tie up his two young women and bring them to me."

Upon hearing this, the two henchmen's eyes lit up, and they practically drooled: "Boss, could we brothers... also get a share?"

"Hahahaha!" Feng Liqiang laughed triumphantly, tearing at his wound and wincing. "Once I'm done playing with him, you can do whatever you want with him!"

"Thank you, Master! Thank you, Master!" The two were overjoyed and bowed repeatedly.

"But don't kill him," Feng Liqiang picked his teeth and sneered. "I don't know how long I'll be stuck in this lousy place. If I kill him, there won't be any fun to be had later."

"Don't worry, Master, we know what we're doing!" The two chuckled, their faces full of lewdness.

No one noticed that a tile had been removed from the roof right there.

Chen You's cold gaze was fixed on the people below.

In the backyard of the house.

The two henchmen who had just brought Chen You over had their necks broken and lay motionless on the ground.
