I have a martial arts panel.

Chapter 98 Miss Feng

"In the few days you've been away from the martial arts school, Vice Master Xu has only left the school once, today..."

Han Yue recalled, "When he was at the martial arts school, he didn't have any contact with anyone outside the school..."

Han Huxiao nodded: "No matter what, we'd better try to keep Xu Ning here."

"But Father..."

Han Yue was worried: "Vice Master Xu has only been with our martial arts school for a short time. If he knew what trouble would ensue, how could he possibly put himself in danger for our sake?"

"That's true..."

Han Huxiao agreed with his daughter's statement, but he also had other thoughts: "Unless we can offer him something that's compelling enough..."

"Conditions that are compelling enough?"

Han Yue had no idea what Han Huxiao was thinking: "What are the conditions?"

Han Huxiao's eyes showed a look of weighing, and he did not immediately pay attention to Han Yue.

Seeing that her father was thinking, Han Yue did not interrupt him.

"Han Yue, go get me some clean clothes, I need to go out for a bit."

Han Huxiao suddenly spoke up.

Upon hearing this, Han Yue quickly advised, "Father, how can you go out in your current condition? You should rest and recuperate."

"Now is not the time to rest and recuperate."

Han Huxiao struggled to sit up.

"To stabilize the current situation, besides keeping Xu Ning, we also need to find a powerful backer."

Han Huxiao explained directly to Han Yue: "Even if Xu Ning stayed, he still wouldn't be able to salvage the situation. After all, he's only a Mind Realm martial artist, and it would be difficult for him to maintain the current state of affairs."

"Find a backer?"

Han Yue pursed her lips.

She knew very well that once she found a backer, it would mean that Shadow Moon Martial Arts School would have to give up a considerable portion of its profits.

"I know what you're thinking..."

Han Huxiao comforted his daughter, saying, "The Shadow Moon Martial Arts Academy is an asset I've built up over many years in Chunlin County. I don't want to give it away, but the situation is dire, and I have no choice..."

"Moreover, the current situation is that even if we wanted to depend on them, they might not be willing..."

Han Huxiao's tone was tinged with sadness.

Seeing Han Huxiao's dejected expression, Han Yue felt a tightness in her chest.

The enormous Shadow Moon Martial Arts School could only be supported by Han Huxiao alone, and Han Yue blamed himself for his incompetence.

"father……"

After composing herself, Han Yue asked, "Who are you planning to go see?"

"The third young lady of the Feng family."

Han Huxiao said, "Right now, the only connection we can make is with her..."

"Alright, quickly go and get me some clean clothes, and also bring me a basin of hot water."

As Han Huxiao spoke, he picked up the porcelain bottle that Han Yue had placed on the table, poured out all the pills inside, and put them into his mouth.

Han Yue wanted to stop her, but the words stuck in her throat.

She turned and left to prepare hot water and clothes for Han Huxiao.

……

Half an hour later.

Han Huxiao arrived at a gambling den alone.

He paused at the door for a moment, then went inside.

The gambling den was bustling with noise and excitement.

Some were happy, some were worried, some were greedy, and some went mad.

The guards, dressed in tight-fitting clothes, patrolled back and forth to prevent anyone from having an emotional breakdown and reacting extremely.

"Thank you for your trouble. I would like to see Miss Feng."

Han Huxiao grabbed a guard and said to him.

As he spoke, Han Huxiao took out a token.

The guard took the token, checked it repeatedly, and said, "Wait here for a moment."

Thank you for your trouble.

Han Huxiao stood obediently in place.

The guard left with the token, and after a moment, he returned and handed the token back to Han Huxiao.

"The Third Miss is waiting for you on the fourth floor."

The guard said to Han Huxiao.

Han Huxiao thanked him and then went upstairs.

By the time we got to the third floor, there were hardly any people left.

Upon reaching the fourth floor, there were even more guards, each of whom appeared to be exceptionally skilled.

As soon as he reached the fourth floor, Han Huxiao was led into a room by the waiting guards.

Upon entering the room, Han Huxiao saw four people sitting around a table with dice and gold notes on it.

They were all dressed in brocade and silk, and their every move exuded the air of superiors.

Seeing that the group was having a great time, Han Huxiao stood at the door without saying a word.

The four men glanced at Han Huxiao but didn't seem to care and continued having fun.

At this moment, Han Huxiao was still injured, but even so, he waited quietly for a full hour.

Afterwards, the three of them had had enough fun and went downstairs.

At this point, only a young woman remained on the table.

She wore a pale yellow gauze dress, with an exquisite jade hairpin in her hair; her face was bright and her figure alluring.

"Han Huxiao greets Miss Feng."

Although he was a well-known and respected figure in Chunlin County, Han Huxiao adopted a very humble attitude.

He bowed and greeted the young woman respectfully.

"What do you want?"

Feng Chengyu got straight to the point.

Her expression was languid, and she seemed nonchalant.

"Please, Miss Feng, save my Shadow Moon Martial Arts School."

Han Huxiao didn't waste any time and directly stated his purpose.

"To save Shadowmoon Martial Arts School?"

Feng Chengyu raised her eyebrows slightly and smiled: "Tell me the reason."

Han Huxiao knew that Feng Chengyu was very impatient, so he explained the reason in a few words.

"Is someone planning to attack your Shadowmoon Martial Arts Academy?"

Upon hearing this, Feng Chengyu wasn't surprised, but instead asked directly, "Do you know who it is?"

"Not yet."

Han Huxiao honestly replied, "But in a few days, the other party should take the initiative to show themselves."

Feng Chengyu smiled: "If I help you, what can you give me in return?"

"A 50% stake in Shadowmoon Martial Arts School."

Han Huxiao also bled.

"Fifty percent?"

Feng Chengyu smiled wryly and shook her head: "You can leave now."

Han Huxiao was shocked, not expecting Feng Chengyu to be so greedy.

"Third Miss..."

Han Huxiao wanted to continue the discussion, but Feng Chengyu interrupted him.

"Master Han, I really don't think I need to get involved."

Feng Chengyu said, "No matter who attacked you, as long as I personally intervene afterwards, they will all have to give me some leeway out of respect for the Feng family. I don't have to do anything to get any benefits, isn't that even better?"

Han Huxiao gritted his teeth: "Third Miss, I'm willing to give up 70% of the shares."

Han Huxiao knew very well that it was no longer a matter of interests.

Instead, he was worried that once Shadowmoon Martial Arts School fell, the wolves and tigers behind it would attack them without hesitation.

At that time, his family, apprentices, and subordinates may all face mortal danger.

After all, years of open and covert struggles had created deep resentment between Han Huxiao and many people in the county town.

"Seventy percent..."

Faced with Han Huxiao's latest offer, Feng Chengyu seemed somewhat tempted.

"You really have guts."

Feng Chengyu chuckled and exclaimed, "Seventy percent is possible, but I have conditions."

"Third Miss, please speak."

Han Huxiao finally saw hope.

"I can step in to protect Shadowmoon Martial Arts School, but the match won't be held for another month."

Feng Chengyu's words made Han Huxiao feel a tightness in his chest, and he almost coughed up blood.

But Han Huxiao forced himself to hold back.

"Master Han, you have to understand me."

Feng Chengyu said, "After all, I'm a member of the Feng family. If I do something, it's very likely to be over-interpreted by others, and my family will also gossip about me. If I'm going to protect you, you have to prove your worth. If you can't even last a month against a challenge, do you expect Shadow Moon Martial Arts School to be a burden?"

Han Huxiao frowned deeply upon hearing this.

He knew very well that there was another reason why Feng Chengyu delayed taking action for a month: to find out who was targeting Yingyue Martial Arts School.

If the opponent is too difficult to deal with, Feng Chengyu may give up halfway.

Even so, Han Huxiao had no other choice.

He had no other way out.

"Third Miss, I accept your terms."

Han Huxiao ultimately chose to compromise.
