Gu Long: Dominating the Martial Arts World Starting from Transmigrating as A Fei

People in the martial arts world value integrity, and Ah Fei certainly knew that.

But he despised those who would risk their lives to repay this or that debt.

In his view, this was tantamount to threatening others with his own life.

It's as if it's saying, "I've already given my life, what else can you do?"

Although these people were truly ruthless towards him, Ah Fei naturally admired those with such courage.

But admiration is one thing, and acceptance is another.

More importantly, we now have to consider Tie Chuanjia's feelings.

If someone from the "Eight Righteous Men" really died because of this, Tie Chuanjia would definitely harbor resentment.

Who knows what kind of trouble this guy might cause if he gets into some kind of grudge later?

That would be detrimental to my plans to make money.

Therefore, to avoid this situation, we need to save their lives first.

They must not die, at least not until this matter is over.

Ah Fei, with a look of utter disappointment on his face, said to Jin Baifeng:

"Do you think that atoning for your sins with your death will be enough to satisfy Tie Chuanjia?"

Jin Baifeng remained silent, responding only to Afei with silence.

Ah Fei looked up at the other seven people again.

These people all had similar expressions, with their brows furrowed.

"Dying is so easy; what's difficult is living well, isn't it?"

"Don't the 'Eight Heroes of the Central Plains' even have this much courage?"

Ah Fei's voice grew louder and louder, his words piercing people's hearts like knives.

Jin Fengbai gradually recovered from his daze, and a sense of shame crept into his heart.

He lowered his head and no longer dared to look Afei in the eye.

Seeing that it was effective, Ah Fei said a few more words and then prepared to wrap things up.

After all, Tie Chuanjia's grudges and injustices have been cleared up, so finding a way to keep him around shouldn't be a problem.

Ah Fei softened his tone and continued:

"In my opinion, the Four Heroes of Jin are actually the most courageous and loyal among the eight heroes."

Jin Fengbai looked up, thinking he had misheard.

He just said he didn't even have the courage to live!

Then Ah Fei continued:

"Just because Jin Sixia was able to keep the secret for thirteen years, I imagine the pain in your heart is no less than that of Brother Tie."

"Wouldn't it be a great pity for the world if such a hero were to die like this?"

Ah Fei's tone became increasingly righteous and awe-inspiring, which moved the "Eight Righteous Men of the Central Plains" present.

They hadn't met a young person who could understand them for countless years.

Jin Fengbai's eyes were already filled with tears.

Perhaps it was because the secret was finally revealed, or perhaps it was because of the bitterness of these past years.

Yi Mingtang, standing nearby, let out a long sigh.

"Enough, enough. We originally intended to kill Tie Chuanjia as soon as possible, but we never expected there to be such a twist in the story."

"Now that the truth of the matter has come out, it turns out we wronged Brother Tie Chuanjia."

He turned to Tie Chuanjia and said:

"You're a good friend; it's my brothers and I who have wronged you."

Tie Chuanjia's acupoints had been released by Afei at some point.

He kept his head bowed deeply.

Even this tough man couldn't help but shed tears.

He never imagined that his many years on the run would one day bring him reward.

He originally intended to keep this matter to himself and take it to his grave.

With a "plop," followed by a series of simultaneous sounds.

Yi Mingtang and his eight companions knelt before the black altar on the table and kowtowed three times.

Then it turned to Ironclad Armor.

Bian Hao suddenly spoke up.

His voice was somewhat excited as he spoke to Tie Chuanjia:

"Brother Tie, Boss Weng was right about you, and I was right about you too. Thank you for everything you've done for Boss Weng."

As they spoke, they all kowtowed to Tie Chuanjia again.

Tie Chuanjia immediately knelt down before them as well.

He never felt that what he did was anything to be grateful for; he simply considered Old Man Weng a friend.

Although the "Eight Righteous Men of the Central Plains" did wrong, it was because they were unaware of the true situation.

Tie Chuanjia never blamed anyone.

So how could he possibly accept such a grand gesture?

They kowtowed repeatedly, and even began to pour out their hearts to each other.

Ah Fei quickly interrupted them, otherwise these people would act up again with their delusions of grandeur, and he couldn't stand it.

"Fellow righteous men, now that the misunderstanding has been cleared up, let's stop talking here."

"It's freezing cold outside. Why don't we come to our garden, warm up a few pots of wine, and have a long talk?"

"I see that you are all rather strapped for cash, so why don't we chip in and give Master Weng a grand funeral?"

"We can't let Master Weng always sleep in that shabby jar, can we?"

Ah Fei's words jolted everyone present awake.

The crying finally subsided.

Tie Chuanjia glanced at A Fei gratefully.

Because what Ah Fei said was exactly what he wanted to do right now.

Unexpectedly, the "Eight Righteous Men of the Central Plains" did not agree after hearing this.

Aunt Weng no longer spoke with a sullen face; she vaguely wanted to smile.

That smile only made the scars on her face look even more horrifying.

She said:

"Thank you for your kind offer, young man."

"How can I entrust the funeral arrangements for my deceased husband to outsiders?"

"Please don't take offense at my kindness, young man."

Gongsun Yu rubbed her aching hand and said to Afei:

"I acted rashly earlier, but fortunately I didn't make a serious mistake."

"Please forgive me, young man."

With that, Gongsun Yu bowed.

Ah Fei shook his head slightly and said:

"It's alright."

When you are far stronger than others, their provocations will only seem laughable.

Yi Mingtang then bowed to A Fei and said:

"If it weren't for you, young brother, we would have made another grave mistake today."

"From now on, as long as you give the word, we will go through fire and water without hesitation."

"Please leave your name, young man."

After thinking about it, Afei decided that he should tell them anyway.

Anyway, if they ask Tie Chuanjia, Lao Tie will tell them.

Just call me Afei.

"Don't be so dramatic. Come to Xingyun Manor for a drink whenever you have time. This place will be renamed Li Garden from now on."

Ah Fei originally wanted to befriend the "Eight Righteous Men of the Central Plains," so he first invited them to "Li Garden."

After all, in this world, it's always good to make many friends.

But he didn't force them to come if they didn't come.

Anyway, he had already made friends with these people.

Whether they go to "Li Garden" to cultivate their relationship afterward is no longer important.

Yi Mingtang finally smiled and clasped his hands in a fist salute to A Fei, saying:

"If that's how it is, then so be it. We brothers will definitely come back again to ask for a drink sometime."

"I just hope that when the time comes, Brother Fei won't complain that our bellies are too big!"

Ah Fei returned the greeting with clasped hands and a bow, saying:

"I couldn't have gotten it."

Yi Mingtang then turned to Tie Chuanjia.

When he saw Tie Chuanjia's moved expression, he felt a mix of emotions.

Or sorrow? Or relief? Or guilt?

A myriad of emotions welled up in my heart, but in the end, they all boiled down to a single word of farewell:

"Brother, the road ahead is long, we'll meet again someday."

The others also looked at Tie Chuanjia and said one after another:

Until we meet again.

Tie Chuanjia's lips trembled slightly; he was at a loss for words.
