"Thank you, senior brother, no need." Qin Ziling replied calmly.
"You!" Zheng Xinghan shook his head helplessly, and then walked quickly towards Nangong Yue.
"Haha, okay, okay! Sure enough, I saw you right. You are a seedling! You are a seedling!" Zuo Le patted Nangong Yue's shoulder heavily and said happily and excitedly.
"It's all Master Zuo's teachings!" Nangong Yue said modestly.
"Haha!" Zuo Le became even happier after hearing this. He patted Nangong Yue's shoulder again and said, "Practice hard!"
After that, he turned around and left.
"Congratulations to Senior Brother Nangong!"
"Nangong Yue, congratulations, congratulations!"
"..."
The apprentices from the outer courtyard and the inner courtyard all stepped forward to congratulate each other. Everyone had a smile on their face, but the look deep in their eyes was very complicated.
"Haha, thank you, I'll invite you all to Zuixiang Tower tonight!" Nangong Yue said with a proud look on his face.
While speaking, Nangong Yue glanced across the crowd intentionally or unintentionally, looking in the direction of Qin Ziling.
Qin Ziling turned around, walked to the sand bag, and started slapping his palms without even bothering to look at him.
The conflict between the two has been made public for a long time, and the two have also had a showdown in private. It is naturally impossible for Qin Ziling to come forward to accompany Nangong Yue just because Nangong Yue has broken through to the level of iron skin.
Nangong Yue is not Xu Yuanbiao, the seventh young master of Xujiabao, and he is not qualified enough to let Qin Ziling pretend to be a bear in front of others!
Nangong Yue's face darkened unconsciously when he saw this.
Everyone felt Nangong Yue's unkind expression, followed his gaze, saw Qin Ziling, and couldn't help but secretly shook their heads. Wu Cheng, Nangong Yue's bitch, deliberately curled his lips and said, "Humph, this Qin Ziling thinks he
Who is he? It took him nearly three years of training to break through to the membrane level. He is not even worthy of carrying your shoes, Senior Brother Nangong, yet he dares to put on airs!"
"Wu Cheng, it's not your turn to make irresponsible remarks, senior brother in the inner courtyard!" Zheng Xinghan's face sank when he heard this, and he scolded.
"Senior Brother Zheng, in fact, although Wu Cheng's words were a bit inappropriate, he also told the truth. Today is a good day for me anyway. He is so disrespectful. If it weren't for Master Zuo's sake, I would have to give him a good look.
." Nangong Yue retorted coldly.
Zheng Xinghan looked at Nangong Yue, a hint of irritation flashed deep in his eyes, but in the end he forced a smile and said: "Okay, Qin Ziling has that kind of character and only focuses on practicing martial arts. We are all brothers in the same sect, so you can
Don't argue with him."
"You also need to be self-aware when practicing martial arts. As talented and poor as he is, no matter how hard he practices, it will be in vain." Nangong Yue said with disdain.
"That's right, that's right!" Wu Cheng and several of Nangong Yue's confidants nodded in agreement.
"This is indeed the truth!" Lu Taiqiang, who was born into a wealthy family in the inner city, also said the same, while the other inner courtyard disciples all smiled unnaturally, neither agreeing nor refuting.
The second floor of "Hua Yun" gouache and rouge store.
"I'm sorry, Shopkeeper Yun. I've been away from the gym for a few days. I didn't know there was trouble in the store." Qin Ziling said, cupping his hands to the Yun Lan siblings.
"Mr. Qin's words are serious. It's us who have caused trouble for him." Yun Lan bowed slightly and said.
"This is my responsibility, shopkeeper Yun, just tell me." Qin Ziling waved his hand and said.
"Mr. Qin, please sit down first, and I will tell you slowly." Yun Lan invited Qin Ziling to sit by the window, and poured tea for Qin Ziling herself, and then said: "Recently, our workshop was vandalized by some people late at night.
Many raw materials have been destroyed, and from time to time some people come to the store to cause trouble."
"Have you reported to the official?" Qin Ziling asked.
"Of course I reported it to the official, but it was useless and I spent a lot of money in vain." Yuntai couldn't hold it in after hearing this and said angrily.
"Mr. Qin, please don't be surprised. My brother is young and has a bad temper." Yun Lan quickly glared at Yuntai, and then said to Qin Ziling apologetically.
"Anyone who encounters such a thing will have a temper. Do you know who did this?" Qin Ziling waved his hands noncommittally and then asked.
"They should be from the Yama Gang! We used to give them a share of the money every month, but this month they suddenly increased the share of the money to a level that was unacceptable to us. Of course we didn't agree and even took out Mr. Qin.
He Hantiezhangyuan's name, they left without saying anything. I thought that this matter would be over, but I didn't expect that this kind of thing would happen next." Yun Lan replied.
"Aside from the destruction of materials in the workshop, are there any casualties?" Qin Ziling asked.
"One of the nurses was seriously injured and died yesterday." Yun Lan said with a slight red eye.
"Okay, I understand. You don't need to go to the government for this matter, I will handle it." Qin Ziling's pupils shrank slightly, nodded, and stood up.
"Mr. Qin, the leader of the Yan Luo Gang, Yan Kui, is a veteran martial arts disciple who has killed many people and is a ruthless bully. There is no need for you to conflict with him. You only need to negotiate well with them. As long as the monthly contribution does not exceed
Fifteen taels, we accept it. You are also a martial artist in the Skin Realm and a disciple of the old martial artist Zuo Le. He must give you face when you come forward." Yun Lan said with a hint of worry on his face.
"How much was it originally, and how much money does he want from you now?" Qin Ziling asked.
"It used to be fifty taels a month, but now it's fifty taels! These bastards, if we give them fifty taels, how much money will we make?" Yuntai couldn't help but said angrily again.
"Alas!" Yun Lan sighed, then took out a banknote with thirty taels of silver written on it, handed it to Qin Ziling and said, "Mr. Lao Qin is responsible for this matter."
"Okay, you don't have to worry about this matter, I will handle it today." Qin Ziling was not polite to Yun Lan, took the banknote, said something, then asked about the location of the Yama Gang, and went downstairs.
When he got downstairs, he saw a few arrogant men who looked like gangsters walking around in the store. This frightened some female customers who were planning to buy gouache and rouge and turned around and left before they even stepped in.
Qin Ziling glanced at the men coldly and left the store without saying anything.
"Sister, do you think Qin Ziling can handle it? If not, please ask Zhuang Gaochi to come over." Yuntai said while standing at the window watching Qin Ziling leave.
"Qin Ziling has Han Tie Zhangyuan behind him, and Yan Kui has to show off some face." Yun Lan said, but she sighed quietly in her heart, full of worry.
Her parents passed away unexpectedly. As a female prostitute, she was able to support such a family business with a disabled younger brother. Naturally, she was exceptional.
The Yama Gang suddenly violated the regulations on the road and quoted a price that they could not accept.
Yuntai couldn't see that there was something fishy about this, so how could Yun Lan not see it?
She very much suspected that Zhuang Gaochi was behind this matter. Once she really wanted to invite him, it would really be inviting a wolf into the house.
Even if it wasn't Zhuang Gaochi, since she had this suspicion, there was absolutely no way she would invite him.
