Chapter 13 Acting Willfully
This Senior Brother Pang is definitely up to no good.
Chen Qiyuan felt increasingly uneasy. When Sanya was captured by the Blood Wolf Gang, she went to Pang Guoyong for help. Pang Guoyong's words were clearly encouraging him to use force to resolve the matter.
She even covered it up for him afterwards.
And now, the Blood Wolf Gang has actually gone so far as to kill those associated with the martial arts school, clearly intending to fight the school to the death. Everyone is filled with righteous indignation, but he remains unmoved.
Chen Qiyuan's first thought was, "Is he a traitor?"
"Never mind, it's none of my business anyway."
Soon, he stopped thinking about it.
He was simply paying money to learn martial arts at Wu's Martial Arts School. Whether Pang Guoyong was a traitor or not was none of his business as an ordinary student.
In fact, this could be a good thing for him. The more chaotic and fearful the Wu Clan Martial Arts School becomes, the greater his benefit will be. He can take the opportunity to plunder a large amount of proficiency points to improve his own strength.
We need to be wary of this person in the future.
As Chen Qiyuan arrived at his house, he saw his aunt holding an oil lamp and looking around at the door. He quickly walked over and said, "Aunt, it's alright, come inside."
Seeing that he had returned safely, Chen Xiaoling was finally relieved. She went back inside, closed the door, and bolted it shut. She didn't say anything, only telling him to get some rest.
……
Silent all night.
The next morning, Chen Qiyuan arrived at the martial arts school and found that very few people were there, less than half the usual number. The atmosphere was also somewhat oppressive.
Moreover, those who came were all from relatively poor families. None of the rich young men came; they must have received the news last night.
If he wasn't mistaken, the Blood Wolf Gang probably didn't just target Tang Xuan last night; those who were close to the Wu Family Martial Arts School probably didn't escape either.
The news should have spread by now.
Soon, his guess was confirmed. Wen Zhenzhen sent someone to call him over. At first, she didn't say what it was about. When he arrived at the backyard, he saw seven or eight injured people, all of whom were the Dark Force martial artists who had attended the competition that day.
These people were all seriously injured, and several of them remained unconscious.
Like Tang Xuan, they were all suddenly attacked by experts from the Blood Wolf Gang, and were severely injured as a result.
The only one who was less seriously injured was a middle-aged man with a square face. He sat at the door and said angrily, "What kind of bullshit Blood Wolf Gang is this? Last night, that guy clearly used the Guo family's 'Monument-Opening Hand'."
[The nameless martial artist was enraged; your "Stealth Step" technique seized the opportunity to steal thirty points of proficiency.]
Chen Qiyuan was delighted and couldn't help but take a few more glances at the man.
He has already summarized some patterns.
Even among martial artists with the same internal strength, a maximum of fifty points of proficiency can be plundered at a time.
Those who plunder a maximum of thirty points of proficiency at a time are mostly experts in the Transformation Realm who are stronger than him.
Chen Qiyuan was called over by Wen Zhenzhen to help take care of the injured. Besides him, Zhao Feng was also there.
Zhao Feng was Wu Tianhuan's chosen disciple, and he had already proven his loyalty last night.
Wen Zhenzhen looks very young, but her medical skills are quite advanced. With just a few needles, those who are unconscious will soon wake up.
After waking up, these people angrily denounced the Blood Wolf Gang and the Guo family for their lack of martial ethics. This allowed Chen Qiyuan to reap another large wave of skill points.
He tried very hard to keep himself from laughing out loud.
……
After Chen Qiyuan finished his work, Tang Xuan called him aside.
After a night of rest, his injuries improved and he was able to get out of bed, though he was still a little pale.
"Qiyuan, the Guo family and the Blood Wolf Gang are still determined to destroy my Wu Family Martial Arts School. A great battle is inevitable. You'd better not come here these next few days to avoid getting caught in the crossfire."
Chen Qiyuan knew he meant well, but now was the perfect opportunity to gain experience, so even if he was asked to leave, he would stay here.
He thanked Tang Xuan for his kindness and expressed his willingness to live and die with the martial arts school.
Seeing that he spoke with such certainty, Tang Xuan stopped trying to persuade him and instead reminded him, "Since you're determined to stay, then settle your family first and put your mind at ease."
Chen Qiyuan had already thought of this.
He told Wen Zhenzhen and then left the martial arts school. He went home and told his aunt to take Sanya back to the countryside to hide for a while.
It's not hard to find an excuse; just say you're going back to attend a relative's wedding.
Chen Qiyuan hired an oxcart and took them out of the city. Now, they could finally get down to business.
……
"Junior Brother Chen?"
Chen Qiyuan watched the carriage carrying his aunt and Sanya disappear into the distance. Just as he was about to return to the martial arts school, a luxurious carriage suddenly stopped beside him. The curtain was lifted, and there was Meng Junfei.
He greeted him with a smile, "Senior Brother Meng, what a coincidence!"
Meng Junfei asked, "Where are you going? I'll give you a ride."
"Then it will be hard work."
Chen Qiyuan didn't stand on ceremony and got into the carriage, asking, "I'm going back to the martial arts school. Is this on the way?"
Meng Junfei asked in surprise, "Given the current situation, you still want to go to the martial arts gym?"
"Um."
He nodded without offering further explanation.
Meng Junfei suddenly laughed, thinking he had seen through his thoughts, and said, "Junior brother, do you think that with Master Wu in charge of the martial arts school, everything will be safe and sound?"
"Isn't that right?"
"Junior brother, have you ever considered why the Master of the Martial Arts Academy, who has been famous for over a decade, and the Guo family's disciple who only broke through to the Blood Exchange Realm two years ago, dare to act this way, pressing forward step by step, treating Master Wu as nothing?"
Chen Qiyuan said, "I guess the Guo family must have some other trump cards."
Meng Junfei shook his head vigorously. "Don't you find it strange? The Wu Family Martial Arts School has been bullied right at their doorstep, yet Wu Tianhuan hasn't shown his face. How can a master who has achieved the Great Perfection of Blood Transformation tolerate this kind of humiliation?"
"Perhaps... the curator is in seclusion?"
Meng Junfei said, "Your junior brother, do you know that Wu Tianhuan hasn't made a move in over ten years? He's been in seclusion for most of the year and rarely shows his face. He leaves all the affairs of the martial arts school to his disciples. Even his personal disciples are taught by his disciples."
"Over the years, there have been many rumors that Wu Tianhuan suffered severe internal injuries in the battle more than a decade ago and never recovered. However, those were just rumors until three years ago—"
He lowered his voice, "Wu Tianhuan's most valued second disciple was killed, yet he didn't even step out of the martial arts school. This shows that the rumor is not unfounded."
Chen Qiyuan's expression changed. "Is that so?"
Meng Junfei sneered, "If that weren't the case, how dare a mere Blood Wolf Gang dare to provoke a Blood Exchange Realm expert?"
Finally, he offered a word of advice: "Junior brother, you'd better not get involved in the mess that is the Wu family martial arts school, lest you bring disaster upon yourself."
"Thank you for the reminder, senior brother. However, I still need to go back."
[Meng Junfei was angry; your "Stealth Steps" technique had taken the opportunity to steal some of his proficiency.]
Seeing that he insisted on going back, Meng Junfei didn't understand, but respected his decision. He was just slightly angry inside.
……
The carriage stopped when it was still a street away from the Wu Family Martial Arts School.
Chen Qiyuan got off the carriage and walked towards the martial arts school.
On the way, he opened the panel.
Name: Chen Qiyuan
【Technique: Hunyuan Stance (Mastery 202/500)】
【武技：虎形拳（精通144/500），迷蹤步（精通411/500)，百鍊刀法（入门55/100）】
In just one morning, his proficiency in the "Hun Yuan Zhuang" technique increased by over 100 points. His "Mi Zong Bu" technique was even more impressive, gaining over 400 points.
Those ten injured martial artists with internal energy were a huge treasure trove waiting for him to seize.
How could he possibly leave at a time like this?
As for danger, there's a saying that goes, "The bigger the storm, the more expensive the fish."
