Chapter 13 Apology? I'll apologize to you!
"Chen Xuan!"
Elder Ge's words suddenly came from outside.
Chen Xuan's heart stirred, and he immediately tidied up, opened the door, and said, "Greetings, Elder Ge. Please come in for a chat."
"No."
Elder Ge remained expressionless, waved his hand lightly, and said, "I've already spoken to Protector Zuo about your matter. Beating Liu Zifeng and the others isn't a big deal. Here are five hundred taels of silver notes. Take them out and buy some gifts to apologize to Liu Zifeng and the others one by one. That will put the matter behind us!"
He casually took out a silver note and handed it over.
"Apologize?"
Chen Xuan's expression froze.
"We're all brothers from the same gang, no need to be so formal. The silver notes were provided by the Left Protector, we'll repay him properly later!"
Elder Ge stuffed the silver note into Chen Xuan's hand and patted him on the shoulder.
Chen Xuan simply laughed.
"What are you laughing at?"
Elder Ge frowned.
"fine."
Chen Xuan smiled gently.
"If I go and apologize, wouldn't that prove I'm the one who's wrong? They're the ones who're in the wrong!"
"Right or wrong doesn't matter, as long as this matter is over!"
Elder Ge's face darkened.
"But what if they humiliate me because of this?"
Chen Xuan spoke in a calm tone.
For example, if the other party asks him to kneel down, should he kneel or not?
Besides, he wasn't the one who was wrong in this matter!
Why apologize?
"To humiliate you?"
Elder Ge's face was very displeased. He said, "I don't care what you think. In short, you have to settle this matter and not involve the Left Protector. The silver notes have been given to you; you have your way whether you like it or not. If they don't forgive you, don't come back!"
His attitude was unquestionable, and he turned and left.
"You old idiot!"
Chen Xuan felt a chill in his heart.
I thought I'd found a powerful backer!
I never imagined I'd hooked up with an idiot!
You want me to apologize?
Have you considered what will happen to me if I go there?
You could even lose an arm!
This is not an apology!
It's to confess!
He put the five hundred taels of silver directly into his pocket.
Why not take it if it's free? Consider it a gift from this old idiot.
He turned and walked towards the room, closing the door behind him again.

"Strength, I urgently need to continue improving my strength!"
I thought joining a gang meant I was clinging to a powerful figure.
Who knew that the power struggles within the gang were even deeper!
They promised to stand up for me.
Then, in the blink of an eye, they sold me out.
What I said before was completely nonsense.
He suddenly remembered what Liu Zifeng had said earlier.
In the past few years, the Left Protector has abandoned at least eight, if not ten, branch leaders.
It seems that he has abandoned me, just like everyone else.
"If you are unjust, I will be unjust too. Since that's the case, let's go our separate ways from now on."
Chen Xuan thought to himself.
[Your inner peace, open-mindedness, and clarity of mind, unmoved by external things, grant you +200 points to your happiness!]
"Um?"
This is also available?
Chen Xuan's eyes lit up.
It's true that anyone can let you down, but the system will never let you down.
...
Two days later.
Ge Xuan came again, his face grim, and said, "Chen Xuan, why didn't you apologize?"
"Ah, Elder Ge, I was going to buy something to apologize yesterday, but I didn't know what to buy, so I put it off."
Chen Xuan immediately laughed.
"That's enough!"
Ge Xuan's face darkened, and he shouted, "Now, go apologize immediately. If he doesn't forgive you, kneel down and kowtow to him, begging for his forgiveness until he does!"
"Now?"
Chen Xuan's expression shifted, and he said, "I'm afraid I can't go now."
"Um?"
Ge Xuan narrowed his eyes, staring at Chen Xuan, and said, "Do you think you've grown too big for your britches? That I can't do anything to you anymore?"
"No, that's not it."
Chen Xuan chuckled, took out a token from his robes, and gently shook it, saying with a smile, "My appointment token has arrived. I'm about to set off for the Clear Water Depot to take up my new post. Elder Ge, even if I were to apologize, I'd have to wait until I return next time, wouldn't I?"
He received the token sent by the gang leader yesterday afternoon.
He was instructed to go and take up his post immediately the following morning.
"A mandate token?"
Ge Xuan's expression changed slightly.
"Yes, the gang leader's orders are paramount; I must obey them first!"
Chen Xuan chuckled.
"Fine, Chen Xuan, since you're unwilling to apologize, then forget it. I'll apologize on your behalf. But remember, I'm apologizing for your sake!"
Ge Xuan gave Chen Xuan a deep look, flicked his sleeve, and turned to leave.
You are a follower of Nima!
Old bastard!
Don't think I don't know what you're thinking.
Chen Xuan's face was very cold.
He took the token, went straight out, and headed towards the Clear Water Rudder.
Clearwater Rudder is located in the southwest corner of Blackrock City.
As its name suggests, it was built by the water.
Blackrock City had well-developed waterways, especially its waterways, which connected to major rivers and facilitated extremely prosperous trade. Countless large ships passed through there every day.
The profits are substantial, but the risks are equally high.
River bandits, fishermen,江湖客 (jianghu knights/martial arts practitioners), and various other forces... a complex and intertwined world.
Almost everyone wants a piece of the pie there.
The same applies to the Red Sand Gang.
This Qingshuiduo branch was only recently built.
Just as Chen Xuan left the headquarters and was about to hire a carriage to head towards Qingshui Boundary, he noticed three figures.
It is not someone else.
It was the trio of Liu Zifeng, whom he had just severely injured yesterday.
It looks like the three of them have been waiting here for quite some time.
"Chen Xuan, your Elder Ge ordered you to apologize to me, why don't you come and apologize?"
Liu Zifeng grinned maliciously, his arm wrapped in bandages, a far cry from his initial composure and elegance. He stepped forward and chuckled, "Remember what I told you? Don't think you can do whatever you want just because you've latched onto the Left Protector. He's abandoned far too many people in the past few years, and you won't be an exception!"
"Boy, you dare disobey Elder Ge's orders? You've got some nerve!"
The man in the blue robe, also heavily bandaged, looked at Chen Xuan with a look of pure glee and said, "Now, kneel down and apologize to me immediately!"
"Yes, kneel down and apologize!"
Another man grinned maliciously as he spoke.
"That's really strange. I beat you all up so badly the day before yesterday, weren't any of you three afraid?"
Chen Xuan suddenly laughed, looking at the group, and said, "Or do you think I wouldn't dare to hit you today?"
"you!"
Liu Zifeng and his two companions felt a chill run down their spines, their hearts filled with shock and anger.
"You dare disobey Elder Ge's orders? Chen Xuan, you should think this through!"
Liu Zifeng quickly replied.
"That's right, if you dare to lay a hand on me again, even Elder Ge can't save you!"
The man in the blue robe called out immediately.
Under the panicked gazes of the three, Chen Xuan took a step forward, his body surging with power. He swung his palm like the wind, his aura terrifying, and struck the blue-robed man's abdomen with a powerful blow.
boom!
puff!
With a muffled roar, the blue-robed man coughed up blood, his eyes rolled back, and his features were all contorted. His entire body flew backward like a kite with a broken string, crashing more than ten meters away before he immediately lost consciousness.
[Well done! Extremely satisfying! Satisfaction score +400!]
Chen Xuan remained calm as he turned to look at the terrified Liu Zifeng and the other man.
"You're such spineless cowards. Even though I've beaten you up so badly, you still come over. I'd feel bad if I didn't beat you up."
He strode toward Liu Zifeng and another man.
The two were terrified and immediately turned and left.
But Chen Xuan's lips curled into a sinister smile, and he suddenly rushed out, showing no mercy as his large hand, like a fan, slammed down on their bodies.
Apologize?
Damn it!
boom!boom!
The airflow exploded, people flew everywhere, it was a horrific sight!
[...Pleasure Value +400!]
