Daily News: You promised yourself to be a fisherman, but you've become a martial arts god?

It's still early.

Li Nian went out to buy ingredients for her sister-in-law Zhao Lijuan to make meat sesame cakes.

For meat-filled flatbread to taste good, the filling must be made with the freshest ingredients.

These days, Zhao Lijuan has been busy with her meat pie business, as well as managing household chores and taking care of the children. Whenever he has time, he helps Zhao Lijuan with some of the burden.

I successfully completed my temporary assignment today, and while I was at it, I bought some meat to celebrate at home.

Upon arriving at the South City Market, Li Nian saw a dense crowd, even larger than usual.

Just as he was wondering, he heard the whispers of the people around him.

"The East City has been in complete chaos these past few days. The Sea Sand Gang and the Giant Whale Gang are fighting endlessly, and several people have been killed in the East City Market!"

"In the past, the Sea Sand Gang and the Giant Whale Gang only fought in private. How come they fought in the market this time and even caused a death? No wonder there are so many unfamiliar faces in the South City Market recently. They must be from the East City."

"I heard that a few days ago, a member of the Sea Sand Gang was killed in his own home by members of the Giant Whale Gang. His death was extremely gruesome."

"The Giant Whale Gang has such audacity, daring to kill members of the Sea Sand Gang at their homes. If they can kill members, they can kill at the gang's headquarters. Such provocation, no wonder the Sea Sand Gang is so angry!"

"Who is this Giant Whale Gang? Why are they making such a big fuss lately?"

"I heard that the leader of the Giant Whale Gang is named Hai Wan'ao. He comes from a military background and is a master of Ming Jin (a type of martial arts skill). His men are all former soldiers!"

"No wonder the Sea Sand Gang was being defeated one after another."

"It's strange, the Giant Whale Gang was clearly able to suppress the Sandy Gang, yet they claimed that they did not kill any members of the Sandy Gang at their homes."

"It's just for the name; I guess it's so that we can better control the East City in the future."

"So cunning!"

"Can the Sea Sand Gang tolerate this?"

"Of course we can't tolerate this! Yuan Guangbo, the leader of the Sea Sand Gang, led his men to fight the Giant Whale Gang in the East City last night. The fighting was so fierce that it was like the sky darkened, the sun and moon lost their light, and even gods fell..."

"Stop bragging, or we'll explode!"

From the whispers of passersby, Li Nian got the gist of it.

If nothing unexpected happens, the Hai Sha Gang member who died tragically at home was Gan Laicai, whom he killed.

Although it is unknown whether everything the passersby said is true, it is absolutely true that the Sea Sand Gang and the Giant Whale Gang fought over this matter.

Otherwise, so many people from the East City wouldn't come to the South City to buy things.

Li Nian's lips curled slightly, revealing a beautiful curve.

This tactic of shifting the blame eastward has worked.

The results were even better than he had imagined.

Just then, a group of people dressed in dark black outfits and carrying chisels appeared at the market entrance.

The man with the broken eyebrow, dressed in a brocade robe with whale patterns, shouted loudly:

"You all stand up straight and listen up!"

"From now on, the South City Market is under the control of our Giant Whale Gang!"

"A five-coin fee is required to enter or leave the market, but merchants charge double!"

"Those who don't pay will bear the consequences!"

Wow!

The entire market was in an uproar.

Giant Whale Gang!

Li Nian frowned.

The Giant Whale Gang isn't satisfied with taking over so much territory in the East City; they've extended their reach to the South City.

Ok?

As he was lost in thought, two familiar faces came into view.

It was none other than the Hai Sha Gang members who had collected his stall fee when he went into town to sell fish that day.

Could it be that these two have switched allegiance?

Or are they pretending to be part of the Giant Whale Gang, doing something shady?

In any case, it's not a good thing for gangs to enter the south of the city.

My sister-in-law, Zhao Lijuan, often shops here. She's beautiful, so it's inevitable that some lecherous accomplices will try to take advantage of her.

If he is not in the inner city during his temporary post, he cannot protect Zhao Lijuan and does not want anything to happen to his sister-in-law.

Li Nian frowned, her gaze as cold as a knife.

"Take care of these people before they take up their posts!"

...

East of the city, Dongfu Street.

The headquarters of the Hai Sha Gang.

A bald, burly man handed a heavy bag of money to a man with a broken eyebrow.

"Young Master, this time the income is quite good; there are a full ten taels of silver in here."

"Those cowards in the south of the city, seeing our menacing presence, handed over their money incredibly fast!"

"Once the people from the Qinyun Martial Arts School find out about the Giant Whale Gang's trouble, they'll definitely go after them. Killing two birds with one stone! Young Master is brilliant!"

Young Master.

Yuan Fei, the young leader of the Hai Sha Gang.

Yuan Fei weighed the money bag in his hand and revealed a smug smile.

"The Giant Whale Gang has been bullying us for so long. Today, I'll use their name to make a fortune and, while I'm at it, drag the Qinyun Martial Arts School into the mess and muddy the waters."

"Tell me, if that female demon from the Qinyun Martial Arts School were to appear before Hai Wan'ao of the Giant Whale Gang, what kind of expression would Hai Wan'ao have?"

The bald man stared intently at the money bag in Yuan Fei's hand.

"I don't know what Hai Wan'ao thinks, but we've made a fortune."

Upon hearing this, Yuan Fei narrowed his eyelids, a cold glint appearing in his eyes.

"Photon, how many years have you been working for the Sea Sand Gang?"

"Young Master, it's been five years!"

"From the day the Hai Sha Gang established its stronghold in Qianhu County, I've always followed the old gang leader. I'd go through fire and water for the old and young gang leaders!"

"Five years, that's quite a while..."

Yuan Fei's eyes revealed a look of reminiscence.

"Do you know what we, the Hai Sha Gang, did before we came to Qianhu County?"

"I am unaware."

The bald man was completely confused, not understanding why Yuan Fei would talk about his family's past. Due to his status, he could only listen silently.

"Of course you don't know!"

"Because those who knew about this have already gone to the underworld!"

Yuan Fei's lips curled into a meaningful smile.

The bald man's heart tightened, and his hand instinctively gripped the hilt of the knife at his waist.

Yuan Fei ignored it.

While casually weighing the money pouch in his hand, he said with an arrogant expression:

"Ten years ago, my father established a stronghold in Yunxi County, Qingyun Prefecture. Back then, we weren't called the Haisha Gang."

"Back in Yunxi County, I took a fancy to the young lady from a prominent local family. She was just blossoming into womanhood, and her looks and figure were truly exceptional."

"So, I took her body and her clothes and extorted a large ransom from her."

"Originally, we were planning to pay money to release her so that we could continue kidnapping and extorting her in the future, but then we heard that this woman has an older brother who is a direct disciple of the Lingxiao Sect in Changzhou."

"To prevent the news from getting out, I killed the woman."

"My father killed all the brothers in the gang to protect me."

"That's how they eventually arrived in Qianhu County and founded the Haisha Gang!"

After speaking, Yuan Fei looked up at the bald man.

His eyes were indifferent, as if he were looking at a dead person!

The bald man's heart skipped a beat, and he quickly tried to be friendly:

"Young Master, I am utterly loyal to you. I will keep this matter a secret!"

As soon as he finished speaking, he gripped the knife handle tightly.

It's now!

The bald man drew his sword and slashed at Yuan Fei.

His years of experience in the martial arts world told him that Yuan Fei's cryptic words meant he wanted to kill him!

"Nonsense!"

Yuan Fei sneered.

Immediately afterwards, the blood and qi surged throughout the body, flowing into both legs.

The bald man's ears rang, he stopped moving, and covered his ears with both hands.

tread!

With a powerful stomp, Yuan Fei leaped high into the air like a tiger.

"Yuan Fei..."

The bald man had just raised his eyes when he saw Yuan Fei kicking down high, hitting him squarely on the top of his head.

click!

With a crisp crack of bone breaking, blood flowed from the bald man's seven orifices, and his body collapsed to the ground like a rag doll.

He died on the spot before he could even utter a scream!

Yuan Fei landed, dusted off his legs, and looked outside.

"Hai Wan'ao of the Giant Whale Gang comes from a military background, and his gang members are fierce. His backing is definitely not simple. Haoran Martial Arts School cannot be relied on."

"I've already made enough money in Qianhu County, I'm just waiting for the blessed land there to open up, then I'll go to another place to have some fun..."

...

South of the city, Li Nian's residence.

late at night.

Li Nian sat on the bed and opened her eyes.

A thought crossed my mind.

"Activate the intelligence system!"
