“Alright, relax a bit.”

With a reddened face, Wei Xiao Bei softly pushed Zhu Xin Yi away and sternly berated her. In truth, Wei Xiao Bei was a bit embarrassed, though as a master he had to maintain his dignity. This was how he had always thought.

However, Zhu Xin Yi appeared to not mind whatsoever. She instead concentrated on the Small Holding Bag and took out roughly ten medicine bottles. She curiously asked, “Master, what is this?”

“This is the barbecued meat congee with pickled vegetables infused with yin energy that I made. It can replenish your stamina and mental strength, but it does have a side effect...”

Wei Xiao Bei explained the congee and then gave ten bottles to Huang Kun.

Huang Kun was originally envious, but after seeing that he would receive a share his face immediately brimmed with happiness.

Afterward, Wei Xiao Bei took out a root he had obtained from killing the Monster Tree and helped Zhu Xin Yi tie the Small Holding Bag to her neck with its fibers.

Ropes made with the fiber of Monster Trees were tougher than steel. It was also due to this that the Dang Kangs could not break free from the Big Monster Trees’ roots and met their end.

Naturally, rope made from the root fibers was a lot tougher than the roots themselves. As long as Zhu Xin Yi kept the Small Holding Bag on there should be no problems.

The three then returned to Cui Hu City. Upon returning, Wei Xiao Bei tightened his schedule. He did not go to work in the morning and instead gave pointers to Zhu Xin Yi and Huang Kun on fighting. If the Long Hu Dou Restaurant needed him in the afternoon, it was only then that he would go to work.

With the fighting experience gained from the Dust World, both Zhu Xin Yi and Huang Kun were about to break through positive jing and reach negative jing.

Wei Xiao Bei could not help but put ignore his own matters during this crucial time and instead focus on giving the two pointers.

Now, Wei Xiao Bei’s position was about to exceed Huang Jun’s in the Long Hu Dou Restaurant. He did not need to go when there were normal banquets, as it was only when precious ingredients were used that he would be requested to go.

After all, Cui Hu City was located inland. There were many ingredients that were hard to obtain, and if one of them was wasted the restaurant would have to endure a loss.

The weather was not bad. It could be said that the air was cool and the sun shone brightly with no cloud in sight.

At close to ten in the morning, Wei Xiao Bei lay down on the wooden couch with drooping eyes as he basked under the warm sun. He played with his phone in one hand while holding a cup of tea on his right. Sometimes he would look at his hardworking disciples and give them pointers.

Huang Kun stared at his master enviously. While exchanging punches and kicks with Zhu Xin Yi, he muttered, “When I become a master in the future, I will definitely take special care of my disciples and let them know how a master should truly be kind.”

“Pfft. Huang Kun, if you truly become a master despite how lazy you are, you might just treat your disciples like slaves and order them around!”

Although Huang Kun muttered softly, it was hard for Zhu Xin Yi to not hear what he said and giggle.

“Senior apprentice sister, don’t laugh at me. Take this!”

Huang Kun took a chance upon noticing Zhu Xin Yi had split her attention by using Iron Mountain Leap on her, wishing to end the battle quickly and go enjoy the fruit juice and deep fried beef spring roll that his master had prepared. His master may be strict while teaching martial arts, but the food he made was simply too delicious.

Huang Kun worried over whether the food he made at home was even edible.

Bang!

A loud sound echoed as he felt like he had hit a thick wall.

In the next moment, the recoil from knocking against the wall had sent him tumbling down to the ground.

Was senior apprentice sister this amazing?

Once his dizziness cleared he finally saw what was blocking him, and it enraged him greatly, “Senior apprentice sister, you cheated!”

What Huang Kun had knocked against was a Dang Kang that Zhu Xin Yi had called out.

No matter how strong Huang Kun’s Iron Mountain Leap was, it was impossible for it to knock down a Dang Kang that was greater than five meters in height. On the contrary, the thick skin of the Dang Kang had knocked him down instead.

“This is called ‘all’s fair in war’! When you are fighting an enemy, would they let you simply attack them?”

Zhu Xin Yi looked at Huang Kun with disdain as she put away the Dang Kang. She then charged at him and beat Huang Kun up to the point that he could only kneel down in surrender.

Zhu Xin Yi usually appeared to be a warm and sisterly figure, but once she entered the practice ground she became a violent senior apprentice sister that sent shivers down Huang Kun’s spine.

Suddenly, Wei Xiao Bei’s phone rang.

After hanging up, Wei Xiao Bei’s face became grave.

The person on the phone was the third senior apprentice brother Yao Wu. He told him that his master and senior apprentice brother were beaten and suffering from heavy injuries and that Cheng Si Si had been kidnapped.

From the faint coughing he heard on the phone, it was almost certain that his third senior apprentice brother had also been injured.

The first thing Wei Xiao Bei did was call his second senior apprentice brother, planning to utilize his wide range of connections which made it easy to deal with certain developments.

However, no one answered the phone. It had been a month since he had any contact with his second senior apprentice brother.

Could it be that something has happened to second senior apprentice brother?

Wei Xiao Bei eyebrows tightened.

However, it was more important now to hurry to Suzhou and save his little senior apprentice sister.

“Xin Yi, Huang Kun.”

Wei Xiao Bei called his disciples to his side and explained what was happening, indicating that he would leave the dojo to the both of them as he prepared to go to Suzhou.

“Master, we also want to go!”

Wei Xiao Bei originally thought that only Huang Kun would speak up, and he never would have expected Zhu Xin Yi to be the first to protest.

“What would you do if you went?”

Wei Xiao Bei was used to settling things by himself and still treated his disciples as children, so he naturally had his misgivings.

“Master, we can help you! If you go alone, finding out what happened would be a lot harder.”

Seeing Wei Xiao Bei knit his brows, Zhu Xin Yi hastily grabbed Wei Xiao Bei’s arm and shook it.

“Okay, okay!”

Wei Xiao Bei could not endure Zhu Xin Yi’s adorable nagging and unwillingly agreed.

His disciples reminded him that they were not normal people anymore. They should not be treated like children as they were already capable of entering the Dust World alone. Moreover, he also did need help. After all, having more people made a lot of tasks easier.

Since everyone was going together, Wei Xiao Bei did not delay his departure any longer. He closed the dojo doors and locked it with an old-fashioned iron lock. He then drove to the airport in his Volvo while Huang Kun dialed his mother’s secretary to help them buy plane tickets to Suzhou. As a result, the three of them were able to quickly get onto a plane upon reaching the airport.

When the plane landed, Wei Xiao Bei called Yao Wu, “Third senior brother, I’m here.”

At the first affiliated hospital of Suzhou City’s intensive care unit, Wei Xiao Bei finally reunited with his third senior apprentice brother after three months apart.

Yao Wu’s current appearance was different from the Yao Wu that Wei Xiao Bei was familiar with.

He had grown a beard that made him look haggard, and his eyes were a startling red as if he had not slept for days.

His left hand was plastered, and it hung in front of his chest.

“Third senior apprentice brother! What happened?”

Seeing Yao Wu’s appearance, Wei Xiao Bei became even more worried than he initially was. If his third senior apprentice brother looked like this, what would his master and big senior apprentice brother look like?

“I’m fine. This is only a slight injury. As for master and big senior apprentice brother.... Well, I did not protect them well.”

His third apprentice brother seemed normal, but when the conversation moved to his master and big senior apprentice brother, his face was filled with shame.

Next, Wei Xiao Bei visited his master and big senior apprentice brother in the intensive care unit.

After his third senior apprentice brother explained things, Wei Xiao Bei finally understood what had happened.

After Cheng Bi Wu returned to Suzhou and rebuilt the dojo, he sent big senior apprentice brother to participate in Suzhou’s martial arts assembly. His senior apprentice brother won the first prize, which caused the dojo’s fame to rise. Many students came on account of its reputation, causing the business to boom.

However, Suzhou was a small place and there were only a handful of students that loved martial arts. With the Cheng Clan Dojo becoming more prosperous, other dojos would find their prosperity had lessened.

Therefore, some of the dojos became hostile.

Initially, there were many people who came to challenge the dojo, but big senior apprentice brother and third senior apprentice brother were able to deal with them.

During this time, the fame of the Cheng Clan Dojo rose even more.

However, as time passed, the conflict between the dojos grew even more.

Among them, the one with the largest conflict with the Cheng Clan Dojo was the Suzhou Kickboxing Dojo.

This dojo was established by a kickboxing expert that had just returned to the country.

His name was Leng Xin Chang. When he was abroad, he was infamous for using forbidden drugs in his matches meaning eventually he could no longer stay abroad anymore. Then he had seen that interest in martial arts was rising in the country again so he decided to earn some money by opening a dojo.

After the dojo opened, he fed his students some nutritious meals laced with forbidden drugs, causing the students’ muscles to expand in a short time. The effects looked fine appearance-wise and their price was not astronomically high, so he earned a lot of money.

However, these so-called nutritious meals had been exposed by others, which caused their profitable business to plummet.

At this time the Cheng Clan Dojo had opened.

In order to reclaim his fame, Leng Xin Chang challenged the dojo, wanting to destroy the Cheng Clan Dojo’s fame and reopen his dojo.

However, even if he wanted to challenge the dojo, he performed dishonest practices and placed a hidden blade on his leg that could pop out.

Big senior apprentice had been injured by this, but it was not serious. However, this made big senior apprentice brother so angry that he broke Leng Xin Chang’s leg into many pieces.

Things should have ended there.
