From Under One Person: Sincere Journey Through the Heavens

"Why don't we go to the theater now?" Peng Changzi didn't want to waste time, and he was even less willing to stay with Peng Qizi for a long time.

"Because of the martial arts tournament to be held in a month, that Smiling Tiger has given himself a long vacation, often going to the theater to watch plays and listen to music. If you're not afraid of running into him, I'd be happy to accompany you," Jiang Liu said casually.

Upon hearing about the smiling tiger, Peng Changzi and his five other brothers all changed their expressions.

How dare they provoke that smiling tiger?

The only option was to wait until nightfall at the Tai Chi Men shop run by Peng Qizi in the Cultural Street area...

After the six men left, Jiang Liu noticed a slight sadness in Peng Qizi's eyes, so he patted him on the shoulder and comforted him, "Brother Peng, don't be sad. If your brothers are still alive in fifty or sixty years, they will understand you."

Peng Qizi: "...Fifty or sixty years? You can see that far ahead?"

"I was just trying to comfort you."

"Is that how you comfort someone?"

Peng Qizi was speechless, but after sighing, his eyes became serious. "If Boss Cha joins the Confucian Association in the future, can we prevent his theater from being moved to this cultural street?"

Jiang Liu understands.

Peng Qianwu was wrong to shoot and kill Zhou Xiyu, but he was still Peng Qizi's father. It wouldn't matter if they held meetings at the Confucian Society to discuss the development of their sect and the theater later, but what if their families were on the same street—

I often see...

The atmosphere became awkward!

and so--

"no!"

Jiang Liu refused.

Avoiding the problem won't solve anything. If Boss Cha really does join the Confucian Society in the future, then the two of them will have to "exchange ideas" and "discuss" each other for three to five years, and the hatred might just be put aside.

And they will never see each other again—

That's the choice of ordinary people.

Those with exceptional abilities and strength should naturally rise to the challenge!

Otherwise, what makes a person with superhuman abilities "different" from an ordinary person?

It can't just be about "superpowers," right?

Tsk tsk, that would be so pathetic!

An ordinary person with a gun, who finds the right opportunity and strikes when the superhuman is off guard, can also kill the superhuman!

Peng Qizi: "..."

He suspected he had boarded the wrong ship!

But to be honest, he was quite looking forward to the future that the Confucian Association described, which is why he was willing to join!

# Chapter 261 Settling Feuds

"Boss Cha."

Jiang Liu instructed Lu Jin to inform the other members of the Confucian Association, while he himself found Boss Cha and informed him about Peng Qizi's plan to lead the other six sons of the Peng family to reclaim the Ape Strike Technique. "What are your thoughts on this?"

To be honest, Zhou Xiyu was already seeking death—

Being killed by Peng Qianwu might be a relief, but Boss Cha knew that Peng Qianwu didn't kill Zhou Xiyu to "eliminate a scourge for the people," but rather to obtain the Ape Strike Technique.

"Zhou Xiyu originally wanted to return the Ape Strike Technique to the Peng family, but Peng Qianwu himself did not believe it and tore up his cultivation notes."

That being said, Boss Cha's skills all came from Zhou Xiyu. Now that Zhou Xiyu has passed away, it is only right and proper that his friend and disciple fulfill his last wish so that he can rest in peace in the afterlife. So he continued, "Alright, since it originally belonged to the Peng family, I will naturally return it."

"That's good."

Jiang Liu also breathed a sigh of relief.

This is also because Boss Cha is a reasonable person; otherwise, if he had continued to be stubborn, a meaningless fight would have definitely broken out between Tai Chi Men and the theater.

It was six o'clock that night.

All members of the Confucian Association, including ordinary businessmen who invested in the Cultural Street, also came to the Ghost Hand Wang Cai Opera Troupe to witness the resolution of the dispute and conflict between Tai Chi Men and the opera troupe.

The crowd gathered around a round table in the courtyard. Members of the Confucian Society and members of the Ghost Hand Wang Cai Opera Troupe sat around the table, watching Boss Cha of the theater in the center of the courtyard and the Peng family of the Tai Chi Sect.

This is also a test for Jiang Liu to establish a solution to future grudges and conflicts.

"Let me first tell you what happened:"

Jiang Liu stood up and addressed the crowd, "The previous head of the Peng family, to prevent the direct disciples of the Taiji Sect from wasting their lives on the difficult-to-master Ape Strike Technique, thus leading to the sect's decline, ordered Zhou Xiyu, the senior brother of the previous head, to take the Ape Strike Technique away from the Taiji Sect. However, he did not explicitly state this, leading the previous head, Peng Qianwu, to believe that Zhou Xiyu stole the Ape Strike Technique and fled the Taiji Sect..."

What Zhou Xiyu did after leaving Taiji Sect is currently unknown, but he eventually practiced the Ape Strike Technique with Boss Cha and returned to Yuhang, where he lived in seclusion at Yue Wang Temple, working as a menial Taoist priest...

During this period, he was unable to concentrate on his spiritual practice and did many absurd things, but we will not go into details about that for now.

Then one day, Peng Qianwu discovered Zhou Xiyu and wanted to take back the Ape Strike Technique. On the day of the incident, judging from the accounts of Peng's six sons and Boss Cha, Zhou Xiyu did indeed hand over the Ape Strike Technique, but Peng Qianwu believed it to be fake, tore it up, and shot Zhou Xiyu dead.

Enraged, Boss Cha, seeking revenge for Zhou Xiyu, killed Peng Qianwu with one of his arms.

At this point, Jiang Liu paused for a moment before continuing, "By the way, Lu Jin and I visited Zhou Xiyu after hearing that Boss Cha and Zhou Xiyu had fought in front of ordinary people. He was determined to die and sparred with Lu Jin and me, wanting to die at my hands and use me to return the Ape Strike Technique to the Tai Chi Sect. However, I did not agree and instead told Boss Cha about it, hoping that they, as master and disciple and friends, could resolve it among themselves."

Lu Jin stood up and said, "I can testify to this."

Everyone present felt that Jiang Liu's rejection of Zhou Xiyu was handled perfectly.

Intervening rashly could backfire.

"Before his death, Peng Qianwu requested that his descendants not seek revenge. Now, the only request from the six sons of the Peng family is to reclaim the Ape Strike Technique of the Taiji Sect, without seeking revenge." After Jiang Liu finished speaking, he asked the six sons of the Peng family and Boss Cha, "Let me confirm again, the previous head of the Taiji Sect, Peng Qianwu, said in person before his death that there was no need for revenge, and neither side had any objection. Is that right or wrong?"

"Yes."

Boss Cha disdains lying.

Peng Qizi was not at the scene of the incident; he only heard about it from Peng Liuzi and did not know the details.

Among the six sons of the Peng family, the fourth and fifth sons of the Peng family were somewhat conflicted, but the eldest son of the Peng family did not hesitate and said directly: "Yes, before Father died, he said that there was no need to take revenge. As long as we become his disciples and learn the Peng family's ape-fighting technique, how can we become the disciples of the enemy who killed our father?"

"Just tell him to return my family's Ape Strike Technique!"

Seeing that both sides agreed, Jiang Liu nodded slightly and said to Boss Cha, "Boss Cha, what do you think?"

"I will return the Ape Strike Technique to Zhou Xiyu on his behalf."

As soon as he finished speaking, Zhou Xiyu took out a secret manual from his pocket. It was the complete "Ape Strike Technique," but it did not contain any cultivation tips.

After all, he was not Zhou Xiyu, and there was no favor between him and the Taiji Sect, so naturally he would not write his cultivation experience into it.

"In that case, the current head of the Tai Chi Sect, Peng Qizi, step forward and take the 'Ape Strike Technique.' Both sides should clap their hands and bump fists, and this matter will be considered settled. In the future, when the two sides or their disciples meet, they must not fight each other because of this matter."

After saying this, Jiang Liu sat down.

However, Peng Sizi raised an objection, asking Jiang Liu, "How can you guarantee that the Ape Strike Technique is genuine?"

“If it’s fake, you’re welcome to come to my theater and cause trouble,” Boss Cha said confidently. “However, if you can’t cultivate it, it’s a problem with your aptitude, and it has nothing to do with me.”

"you!"

Peng Sizi glared angrily, but was stopped by Peng Changzi, who clasped his hands in a fist salute to Boss Cha and said, "I believe Boss Cha would not deceive us juniors."

The Ape Strike Technique is inherently difficult to master. Even though it has been passed down in my Peng family for generations, very few people have succeeded in mastering it. The reason we haven't succeeded is indeed due to our lack of talent.

My fourth brother has a rather impulsive temper, so I hope Mr. Cha won't take it to heart.

Boss Cha looked deeply at Peng Changzi, but also felt a pang of pity. He offered a word of advice: "Thinking too much makes it difficult to succeed in cultivation."

Upon hearing this, Peng Changzi seemed to understand something and thanked Boss Cha again.

Peng Qizi, after receiving the Ape Strike Technique, examined it, closed his eyes to ponder, secretly gathered his Qi, and tried it out. He then discovered that his body seemed to have the effect of activating potential. After confirming its authenticity, he handed it over to Peng Changzi.

"Farewell, everyone!"

Peng Changzi took the "Ape Strike Technique" and led his five brothers away, showing no regard for Peng Qizi's feelings.

After the six sons of the Peng family left, the rest of the Confucian Society also bid farewell to Boss Cha, the seven sons of Peng, and the members of the Ghost Hand Wang Cai Opera Troupe.

They realized that the sixth son of the Peng family only wanted to use the power of the seventh son of the Peng family to get back the Ape Strike Technique from Boss Cha, and had no intention of avenging his father at all.

Before his death, Peng Qianwu had given instructions, but Peng's eldest son neither sought revenge for his father nor followed his deceased father's dying wish to become Boss Cha's apprentice. He only sought the Ape Strike Technique—

It is embarrassing.

"Boss Cha, I don't know how to practice the Ape Strike Technique."

Peng Qizi clasped his hands in a fist salute to Boss Cha, saying, "My Tai Chi School does not require such difficult cultivation techniques; we only cultivate Peng Zu Tai Chi."

I will surely discover new moves in the Peng Zu Tai Chi style!

At that time-

I humbly request that Boss Cha impart his expertise in the Ape Strike Technique!

Boss Cha could also see Peng Qizi's talent and believed that he truly had it, so he agreed and returned the courtesy, saying, "If Sect Leader Peng wishes to spar, I welcome him anytime."

# Chapter 262 Planning Ahead

After Peng Qizi left, Boss Cha said to Jiang Liu, "Peng Qizi is indeed good, but he has such a narrow-minded father and six brothers with their own petty thoughts. He's quite pitiful."

"That was before. Now he's 'free'."

Seeing Peng Qizi's slightly forlorn figure, Jiang Liu sighed and then said to Boss Cha, "By the way, Boss Cha, would you like to join the Confucian Society?"

"That's fine, but if I really move there, I'll be seeing Peng Qizi all the time—it'll be awkward."

Boss Cha sighed.

"It's alright, you can join us and then spar with everyone more often... Just performing isn't enough, you need to spar with us more to greatly improve your combat strength."

It is now 1925.

Six years from now.

The second global war is about to begin—

Is this something that an alien could stop?
