He transformed from a fierce tiger pillar into a martial saint.

Recently, Wei Yixiao and his two confidants, Wang Han and Ma Chao, have been frequently active in this area, so Lin Shi and Chen Qing have become somewhat familiar with them.

Upon seeing these three people, Lin's heart began to pound.

"Gentlemen, what brings you here to see Chu Yang?"

Lin said, her heart pounding with fear.

Wei Yixiao said, "We have some things to discuss with Chu Yang, so please let us know."

"Please rest assured, we're here to be friends."

The gang members want to be friends with Chu Yang?

Lin, of course, did not believe it and became even more worried.

But she dared not refuse, much less say anything that might offend him.

Madam Lin said, "Gentlemen, please come in and have some tea. I'll go call Chu Yang."

"Chen Qing, make tea for the three gentlemen."

Chen Qing nodded quickly.

Lin ran to the backyard.

"Xiao Yang, something's wrong! Three guys from the Flying Eagle Gang came to our house looking for you. They said they want to talk to you and that they want to be your friends!"

"I don't think they came here to make friends at all; they're clearly here to cause trouble!"

The Lin family remembered that Chu Yang had instructed them not to reveal that the Chen man from the Flying Eagle Gang had visited! He also told them not to mention that he owned a particular type of floral clothing…

Thinking about this, Lin became even more worried. Could it be that the Flying Eagle Gang had come to settle scores with Chu Yang?

She had heard that someone in a neighboring village had accidentally offended the Flying Eagle Gang, and the gang had cut off his ears and tongue, then hung him on a tree at the village entrance for a full day and night, as a warning to others!

Later, the Flying Eagle Gang even demanded one tael of silver from the man's family as a "disciplinary fee." They claimed that they had spent time and energy disciplining the man and needed to reimburse themselves for the losses.

Chu Yang said, "Mother, you don't need to worry. I'll go take a look!"

Chu Yang naturally knew that since the other party had come knocking on his door, they certainly wouldn't let it go so easily. He might as well see what their purpose was.

Chu Yang then walked out.

Enter the house.

"I apologize for not being able to welcome you all from afar!"

Chu Yang smiled and cupped his hands in greeting.

When Wei Yixiao, Wang Han, and Ma Chao saw Chu Yang, they all focused their attention on him.

"Chu Yang, you're too kind!"

"We hope our visit was unannounced and did not disturb you."

Wei Yixiao had a big smile on his face, looking all smiles. He didn't look like a gang leader at all! He just looked like a kind older brother.

Chu Yang refilled Wei Yixiao's teacup and said, "Master Wei, you're too kind. Your visit is an honor to my humble abode!"

Wei Yixiao said, "Brother Chu Yang, your battle at Dingbo Platform today was truly a display of might! Your strength suppressed a group of peak Ming Jin cultivators, showing astonishing talent. In the future, it will be no problem for you to challenge An Jin and reach the Grandmaster realm!"

After a slight pause, Wei Yixiao said, "I wish to forge a good relationship with Brother Chu Yang. I hope Brother Chu Yang won't look down on me because of my bandit background!"

Wei Yixiao is quite adept at making friends, already addressing Chu Yang as "brother" repeatedly. He's also quite direct in his speech.

Chu Yang said, "Hall Master Wei, I have not yet reached the Inner Strength level, and my future is still uncertain. As for you, as the Hall Master of the Flying Eagle Gang, I really have no way to help you. Your high regard for me makes me feel extremely humbled."

Wei Yixiao said with a smile, "Brother Chu Yang, there's no need for you to be so modest."

"No matter what, since you're from Chu Family Village, I'll give you face."

"From now on, our Flying Eagle Gang will absolutely not collect any housing allowance from your family or any of your relatives within five degrees of kinship!"

"I will refund you ten times the amount of the resettlement fees collected during this period!"

As he spoke, Wei Yixiao took out ten taels of silver and placed them on Chu Yang's table.

As the saying goes, you can't hit someone who's smiling.

Chu Yang cupped his hands and said, "Hall Master Wei, thank you very much in that case!"

Chu Yang also knew that the only way to put this kind of person at ease was to accept his offer.

Wei Yixiao said, "Brother Chuyang, if there are any shady dealings in the future that you're unable to handle yourself, just come to us. I'll definitely take care of it for you!"

Chu Yang said, "Thank you for your kind words, Hall Master Wei."

After exchanging a few more pleasantries with Wei Yixiao, Chu Yang finally got rid of him.

After watching Wei Yixiao and the other two disappear into the night, Chu Yang returned home.

grunt.

Chen Qing couldn't help but swallow.

He said, "Young Master, what exactly is this Flying Eagle Gang's Hall Master Wei up to?"

Lin also said, "Yes, Xiaoyang. Why is he being so polite to you... Could it be that he's trying to sweet-talk us and then secretly do something to us?"

It must be said that Lin had been chatting with the women in the village for many years and knew quite a lot. Her underlying feeling was one of extreme distrust and fear of these bandits.

Chu Yang said, "Mother, you don't need to worry."

"Chen Qing, if Wei Yixiao and the others come here in the future, just deal with them openly and honestly."

"The reason they treat me this way is probably because I'm already a peak Ming Jin martial artist, and they think I'll soon be able to break through to An Jin!"

Upon hearing this, both Lin and Chen Qing's eyes lit up.

Chen Qing's voice trembled with excitement: "Young Master, are you about to reach the Dark Force stage?"

Madam Lin quickly added, "Xiao Yang, I've heard that becoming a Dark Force martial artist is incredibly difficult! You might not even find one Dark Force martial artist among ten Open Force martial artists!"

The saying "If someone in the family does something, the family members will deliberately try to find out about it" is indeed true.

Chu Yang smiled slightly: "I am indeed close to becoming a Dark Force martial artist."

"Tomorrow and the day after, you will also go to the city to choose a courtyard. From now on, you will stay in the courtyard in the city every night."

Madam Lin nodded quickly and said, "Yes!"

Then, Lin seemed to remember something else: "When your father passed away, several of our relatives within the five degrees of kinship laughed at us, saying our land would be completely abandoned. Only your third uncle's family helped us..."

"Now that the Flying Eagle Gang is no longer charging settlement fees to those within five degrees of kinship with us, it's actually benefiting those people."

"Now that I remember, Chu Changnian is still within five degrees of kinship with us. He used to only think about seizing our family's fertile land, but now they're benefiting from our situation."

"Xiao Yang, if all else fails, talk to the Flying Eagle Gang and ask them to expel Chu Changnian's family from the village. Don't waive their housing allowance; they're not short of money. It's all about squeezing the village's profits..."

Chu Yang also knew that these were his mother's ramblings about past injustices.

It's inevitable for women to complain.

Stripped of their parental aura, they are just ordinary people with joys, sorrows, anger, and resentment.

If they were to actually do that, their inherent kindness would make it difficult for them to bear it.

Moreover, given the Flying Eagle Gang's opportunistic behavior, they would naturally try to curry favor with Chu Zhe.

Chu Yang returned to the backyard and gazed at the bright stars and moon.

"When I was weak, I acquired some money, but I was afraid that the bandits would find out that it was mine and demand it back, so I lived in constant fear."

"Now that we possess considerable strength and have achieved fame in a single battle, even bandits are actively seeking to befriend us, offering to waive our accommodation fees... All of this is due to strength! Strength in this martial arts world!"

"Master is right. Cultivating martial arts is about taking control of one's own destiny! It's about killing enemies!"

Shaking off these thoughts, Chu Yang leaped onto the wooden stake.

He took a deep breath, calmed his mind, and stepped with the unique gait of the Fierce Tiger Stance. His waist and stance were in harmony, his shoulders were relaxed and his elbows were dropped. His breath was like thunder and his blood was like mercury!

Today, I will knock on the gate!
