Advance the future and become a martial saint on earth!

Chapter 41: The struggle between the ‘Direct Lineage Party’ and the ‘Disciple Party’ is undercurrent!
Deputy hall master?
I?
As soon as I stepped in, I heard the laughter of Butcher Knife Wei Dingchang.

Ji Xiu’s eyes narrowed.

Then he noticed that everyone who gathered in the hall had strong muscles and bones, and at least they were all experts in nourishing blood.
In unison, they all turned their eyes to him.

"Deputy hall master? Him?"

"The master in the mansion opened a school and was fortunate enough to promote the three masters of the manor. He was given three chairs and promoted them to vice presidents of this 'Fengyun Club'."

"Further down, there are seven halls including the 'three major livelihoods'!"

"Even if he's just the deputy hall master."

"But this status is not only one level higher than the 'Sword-bearing Retainers' of Lu Village, but also lower than the top retainers of the Firewood Market and the Cattle and Sheep Market."

"I've never heard of such a person in Huoyaolu Village. What is his ability?"

In addition to the guests of the kiln, gathered in this hall were also guests from other two businesses brought by Purple Robe Crane Xu Zhuang and Butcher Knife Wei Dingchang.

They don't care and don't know the ins and outs of it.

He just muttered to himself out of consideration for the people sitting upstairs.

"But, this boy does look quite handsome."

"Isn't the person following that kid the daughter of Manor Master Lu, Lu Hongyu?"

"Ah, I know!"

Suddenly, someone in the chair at the firewood market clapped his hands, as if he had suddenly realized something:
"I heard that Miss Lu is very picky when choosing a husband. She even looked down on Luo Xiao, her fellow disciple who has learned 70% of Master Lu's true teachings and has already tempered his bones."

"According to rumors from colleagues, this guy is a bit of a face person."

"But I think that warriors like me can be both outstanding in martial arts and look presentable at the same time."

"Except for those young men who practice advanced standing exercises and lock their qi and blood firmly in their muscles and bones, and who appear weak but are actually able to cause a great collapse with a single move, how many of us in Five Hundred Miles of Anning can even come close to this standard?"

"I didn't expect to see one today."

"Look, Master Lu is deliberately building a bridge and road for his future son-in-law."

Rumors spread like wildfire, as noisy as the buzz of flies and mosquitoes.

Luo Xiao, who was closely connected to the circle of disciples of the three major camps, had veins bulging on his forehead. He pursed his lips tightly, brows cold and remained silent.

There were two young men leaning against him, looking at his appearance, and they couldn't help but whisper.

"Brother Luo, don't take it to heart. The people below saw something new and couldn't help gossiping a little. They didn't mean to tease you."

Li Ye, who was dressed in purple and came from Chai City, and was a direct disciple of Zipao He Xu Zhuang, patted his shoulder as if to comfort him.

On the other side, a burly young man with a black water dragon tattooed on his left arm folded his arms and snorted coldly:
"We country folks were just gossiping and accidentally affected Brother Luo."

"But the truth is there."

"This kid looks a bit energetic, but that's all. He has entered the Dao Gate. Haha."

He slapped the broad-backed scabbard at his side:
"When two people meet in a narrow road, they are fearless of life and death. It is said that this is a threshold for those big sects to select disciples. But to put it bluntly, under the absolute force, it is all empty."

"In addition to the president of the 'Fengyun Club' formed by our three businesses, my master has two other seniors who sit on the three 'vice president' chairs and control the affairs of the entire club."

"Further down, there are seven major halls. In addition to the three major livelihoods, there are four more halls: Discipline, Alchemy, Martial Arts, and Scriptures."

"Under the three vice presidents are the seven chief and deputy hall masters, who have both real power and status."

"The seven gangs are all engaged in lucrative business. If we three can work together as one, as long as we can beat the three major gangs and the four major halls, we will be able to command the support of hundreds of people in the future."

"I heard that he has only been in Lu Manor for more than a month? We have served our master diligently for so long, and we have only managed to become a deputy hall master. How come he can be on the same level as us as soon as he comes here!"

"If he is asked to sit in this seat, it will be inconvenient for you, Brother Luo, to take the lead."

"But Fang Xiao has been a fierce man with a knife since he was fourteen years old. That's why he was appreciated by Boss Wei and was able to serve him. I will take this vengeance for you!"

Fang Xiao, the eldest disciple of Butcher Knife Wei Dingchang, stood up with a whoosh and said, "Boy."

He raised his head:
"My master is right. You are too old to sit in this seat."

"It's better to be honest and find a seat at the bottom. Don't think too much."

These words were directed directly at Ji Xiu, causing him to frown.

But he hasn't spoken yet.
The direction where Luo Xiao, Li Ye and Fang Xiao, the three major disciples of Ying Sheng, sat opposite each other.

Suddenly someone jumped up:
"Fang Xiao, you are making trouble!"

"There are three seniors here. How to decide and choose? Is it your turn to make the decision?"

"Besides, Brother Ji entered Daomen at the age of sixteen. Today, I see that his blood and qi are as strong as a dragon, his blood nourishment is perfect, and he can refine ninth-grade pills. He is also a seedling of our own alchemist, not an outsider."

"It's fine for other places, but for this medicine hall, you didn't ask someone who knows how to make pills to check it. Did you ask someone like you who knows nothing to come here?"

"Don't take the wrong pill and harm yourself!"

The man was dressed in black and had an elegant appearance, but when he sneered, every word he said was like pearls, piercing Fang Xiao's heart, causing his face to darken:
"Xu Heng, you.!"

"enough!"

boom!
Purple-robed crane Xu Zhuang clapped his hands and frowned:

"Everyone sit down."

"From now on, the three major businesses in Anning County within 500 miles will belong to our family."

"Although the 'Fengyun Society' in Anning County is only a branch, the founder is a genuine 'Qigong master'!"

"He established himself in Jiangyin Prefecture and founded a school."

"If we can't take root in An Ning, how can we open a path for you to advance to the 'Fucheng' in the future?"

When the big boss stepped forward, the two sides had to stop fighting even if they were at loggerheads with each other.

Wait until Xu Heng looked nonchalant and sat down leisurely.

Lu Yu, who was beside him, immediately gave him a thumbs up:
"Good, good, you are very courageous. You are worthy of being the eldest son of the Chai City owner."

"I won't say much. Since you took the lead today, I'll treat you to a table at Feiyan Tower tomorrow evening!"

Xu Heng brushed his sleeves, glanced at Ji Xiu, then looked at the Butcher's daughter Wei Zhi who was smiling softly with her hands covering her mouth and looked quite pretty, and said calmly:
"I'm not just standing up for you, I'm also standing up for Wei Xiaomei."

"Fang Xiao reeks of mud. Ever since he followed Uncle Wei, he has been arrogant and domineering all day long, as if he thinks that with such a big business as the cattle and sheep market, he will have to follow his surname in the future."

"We are from the direct lineage. Zhuangzi was conquered by the older generation. Why should we ask them to share the profits?"

"Sister Wei is also skilled in martial arts. She is just as capable as any man, so she should also have the right to inherit the throne."

The three major businesses are not the result of the accumulation of years of "aristocratic families", but are either the side branches of the declining society or those who have crawled out of the mud.

Therefore, it is normal for disciples to compete with legitimate sons for the right of inheritance, and over the years, circles have been formed.

For example, Luo Xiao, Li Ye, Fang Xiao and others have been serving their bosses for many years and have great prestige.

People like Lu Yu, Xu Heng and Wei Zhi are the direct descendants of the three major businesses and were born with a silver spoon in their mouths.

However, because he arrived a little late, his muscle and bone progress was not as high as these direct disciples, so he was suppressed. However, in momentum and status, he was not inferior at all, and they often confronted each other tit for tat.

"You two are helping me. The market has received a few mountain products these days. They are all valuable materials. If you don't mind, why not ask me to treat you?"

"When the time comes, Lu Erlang can bring Brother Ji over. I have seen such a talented person today and I would like to get to know him."

The woman had wide sleeves and a narrow waist, with curved eyebrows and eyes. When she looked at Ji Xiu, her eyes were full of excitement.

It’s hard to imagine how a man with a face as big as a butcher’s knife could give birth to such a beautiful daughter.
