Chapter 22 Chen Xuan, do you think you've grown too big for your britches?
Giant Whale Gang Branch.
Inside a room filled with the scent of herbs.
Zhang Lie lay paralyzed on the bed, his body wrapped in bandages. His once robust frame was now swollen and distended, and the dark ointment covering his skin could barely conceal the bruises seeping from beneath.
His breath was weak, each breath pulling at his wounds. The maids carefully wiped his wounds, and the slightest touch from their fingertips elicited a piercing scream from him.
"What a piece of trash! How could you get hurt like this!"
A cold, clear voice came from one side.
The air was rather chilly.
A young girl dressed in black, with a white jade belt around her waist, stood to one side. Her eyes and brows were filled with a startling sharpness, and a fierce and piercing aura emanated from her.
The maids on both sides didn't even dare to breathe loudly.
This woman is none other than [name omitted].
She is the only daughter of the leader of the Giant Whale Gang.
Lu Yao.
He was a master of the seventh level of internal strength at a young age.
She was a renowned prodigy in Blackrock City, far surpassing Su Qingliu in talent, and was considered a goddess in the hearts of countless young gang members.
She is proud and confident, cold and aloof, and unattainable.
"This enormous spirit fish farm was given away just like that. Even if you skinned alive, it wouldn't be enough to buy it back!"
Lu Yao said coldly.
"Skinning him won't bring back the Spirit Fish Farm, so let me have his skin. I want to offer it as a sacrifice to the spirit of my poor disciple!"
A cold, suppressed sound came from outside the room.
A gaunt figure, as thin as a bamboo pole, with a gloomy, cold, and terrifying expression, walked out from outside into the room. His eyes were sinister and icy, like a bottomless abyss.
There was an aura that sent chills down your spine.
"The Eagle Claw Old Man!"
Lu Yao's expression was indifferent, but she was not afraid. She said, "I am also saddened by the death of your disciple, but this is not a place for you to act recklessly."
"snort!"
The old man with eagle claws let out a cold snort and said icily, "Give me an explanation!"
"Don't worry, I'll give you an explanation for Chen Xuan. Whether you kill him or torture him is up to you!"
Lu Yao crossed her arms, her pretty face contorted with malice, and glared at the Eagle Claw Elder: "However, before that, you are not allowed to touch him!"
"You're not allowed to touch him?"
The old man with eagle claws swept his sharp eyes directly at Lu Yao, his aura icy and intimidating.
Lu Yao remained completely unfazed, coldly declaring, "I will personally issue him a challenge and openly crush him under my feet. No one can interfere!"
"snort!"
The old man with eagle claws snorted coldly again.
"When?"
"Now!"
Lu Yao said confidently.
"I really hope you can defeat him!"
The old man with eagle claws sneered.
I've truly witnessed this woman's confidence and arrogance.
but!
Now is not the time to break ties with the Whale Gang.
Why not just keep an eye on it for now?
"Then you don't need to worry about it."
Lu Yao's voice was indifferent.
Some guy who appeared out of nowhere dares to cause trouble here.
I will tell him what a true genius is!
genius?
Is that just the threshold to seeing oneself?
A mocking smile appeared on Lu Yao's lips.
...
Inside the clear water rudder.
Chen Xuan raised an eyebrow, looking at the gang member who had come all the way from the main headquarters.
"Master Chen, this is what the Right Protector asked me to tell you: you must be careful of the Left Protector from now on. He said to the gang leader that he wanted to kill you. Given the Left Protector's ruthlessness, although he didn't succeed this time, he certainly doesn't want to see you continue to grow stronger. You must be extra careful."
The gang member said cautiously.
"Yeah?"
Chen Xuan gave a cold smile.
That's really strange!
Internal strife within the gang, fucking spectacular!
Because he had defeated Su Qingliu, someone in the gang wanted to kill him immediately.
The person who said this is the same one who previously claimed to protect his left protector. Is he really that realistic?
"Okay, you can go back now!"
Chen Xuan waved calmly.
"Yes, then I'll head back now."
The gang member clasped his hands together and immediately retreated.
Not long after this gang member left.
Suddenly, there was another knock on the door, followed by a familiar laugh, "Chen Xuan, how have you been at the docks these past few days? I heard you defeated Zhang Lie, so I've come to congratulate you!"
Squeak!
The courtyard gate was pushed open.
A familiar figure came into view, smiling broadly and dressed in a gray robe.
"Elder Ge?"
Chen Xuan's eyes flashed, and he said with a forced smile, "What brings you here, old man?"
"Hahaha."
Ge Xuan laughed and said, "I came all this way just to see you, is that not enough?"
"Elder Ge, you're too kind."
Chen Xuan responded calmly.
He would never forget the scene when Elder Ge asked him to apologize to Liu Zifeng and the others.
They say they're going to apologize, but aren't they just going to be at everyone's mercy?
From that moment on, he had already severed ties with the other party.
It's all just empty talk now.
"Chen Xuan, are you still angry with me for what happened last time?"
Elder Ge smiled and gently patted Chen Xuan on the shoulder.
"Your subordinate wouldn't dare!"
"You're still angry."
Elder Ge sighed and smiled, "What happened last time is not my fault. Actually, I just asked you to put on a show. The Left Protector is now deeply feared by the Gang Leader, so you must be careful in everything you do, otherwise the Gang Leader will easily find a handle against you. By the way, this time you took back the Spirit Fish Farm, which really boosted your prestige. The Left Protector specially asked me to bring you some things."
He took out a five-hundred-tael silver note and a blue porcelain bottle from his pocket.
"This porcelain bottle contains three Qi and Blood Pills, which are extremely beneficial for strengthening one's own Qi and blood and experiencing internal strength. Even I have difficulty obtaining them under normal circumstances. To prevent you from being wronged, the Left Protector specifically asked me to give these to you. I hope you will make good use of them."
"Oh?"
Chen Xuan's eyes flashed.
He took the thousand taels of silver notes and the blue porcelain bottle in his hands.
The benefits of delivery to your door!
Don't be in vain!
How could he not know what the Left Protector was thinking?
They simply see that they have some value again and want to win them back.
"Then I thank you very much, Left Protector."
Chen Xuan said with a smile.
"You're too kind!"
Elder Ge smiled slightly and said, "By the way, when I left just now, I saw a member of the gang come out of here. He looked somewhat familiar. I wonder who he is?"
Elder Ge's heart tightened slightly.
That person was clearly Yang Rong, a confidant of the Right Protector Xiang Tao.
Yang Rong actually came to contact Chen Xuan in private?
Could it be that the Right Protector wants to win over Chen Xuan?
"Oh, it's nothing."
Chen Xuan spoke in a calm tone.
"Nothing?"
Elder Ge narrowed his eyes slightly, feigning displeasure, and said, "Chen Xuan, do you still not consider me one of your own? Don't forget, it was I who recommended you for this position as leader."
"Really? But I seem to remember that I earned this position of leader myself?"
Chen Xuan frowned and looked at Elder Ge.
Yes! You did indeed provide a platform for open martial arts competitions.
But I also earned my place step by step by following your rules.
I did originally intend to be loyal!
Unfortunately, you've already sold me out once.
Do you expect me to owe you another favor?
Are you kidding me?
"What did you say?"
Elder Ge's face darkened. "You typed that yourself?"
A cold glint flashed in his eyes.
"Ah, it's nothing. Let's not dwell on the past. Jia Gui, quickly prepare some wine; I want to have a couple of drinks with Elder Ge!"
Chen Xuan chuckled and waved loudly towards the outside of the courtyard.
"Chen Xuan, do you think you're all grown up now and can fly on your own?"
Elder Ge spoke in a cold tone.
"I wouldn't dare!"
"It's best if you don't dare!"
Elder Ge's gaze was icy cold, devoid of any emotion. His hand flashed and grabbed Chen Xuan's shoulder, his five fingers as hard as steel bars, gripping him tightly.
"Actually, I still value you a lot, and I hope you won't go astray!"
