Immortal weapon refiner

Chapter 44
Shengtian City, Chiming Street, Qingshan Martial Arts School.

Today, this sparsely populated martial arts gym is bustling with people. All the prominent people on the street, big and small, come to congratulate Xu Qingshan, the old martial arts master.

While Xu Qingshan was temporarily leaving, someone at Li Qing's table whispered:
"Old Master Xu is not simple. I heard that when he was young and strong, he married a concubine with two rooms, but he has not been pregnant for so many years. I didn't expect that after so many years, this new concubine with one room would actually be pregnant. I’m pregnant!”

"Hey, I heard before that Kuku couldn't conceive an heir, and Old Pavilion Master Xu beat and scolded his wives and concubines."

"This happened."

Li Qing, who was sitting aside, looked a little strange when he heard these words, but he just ate his own food and wine and did not get involved in the discussion.

But Qi Kang had a look of gloating on his face. He had never had a good impression of these people who opened martial arts schools and exploited the people.

Wine over three rounds of dishes over five flavors.

In front of the martial arts hall, Xu Qingshan, the host of this banquet, walked in with a tall and thin man.

This man has a majestic appearance, his eyes are piercing, and his whole temperament is as sharp as a blade out of his body.

Old Pavilion Master Xu was half a body behind this man, with a respectful expression and a humble expression.

"Brother Zhang Lai, come in and take a seat. Feiyun Martial Arts School must be very busy recently."

In one sentence, the identity of the visitor was revealed.

Feiyun Martial Arts School!

One of the three major martial arts schools in the city, it controls nearly a quarter of the underground forces in the imperial capital.

As soon as Zhang Lai entered the martial arts hall, he was led by Xu Qingshan to sit on the main seat. The other people present suddenly stopped talking, and the atmosphere became quite tense.

"Hahahaha, everyone, please eat and drink well, this brother Zhang Lai is one of the direct disciples of Feiyun Martial Arts School!" Mr. Xu, the old master of the gym, immediately started to laugh and stir up the atmosphere.

However, this disciple from Feiyun Martial Arts School spoke without pretense and sighed repeatedly: "Don't talk about it. Recently, we at Feiyun Martial Arts School have spent a lot of time trying to find the Star Picker. I haven’t even breathed!”

Xu Qingshan immediately echoed: "Oh, this Star Reacher has done many evil things. Brother Zhang, your Feiyun Martial Arts School has worked really hard to maintain the peace in the city!"

"There is no way. Who makes that star-catching thief so good at light kung fu? Only the Zongyun Kung Fu from my Feiyun Martial Arts Hall can keep up. This drudgery will naturally fall on us disciples." Zhang Lai said. Shaking his head, he continued: "But for the sake of the peace of the people in the city, this hard work is nothing."

As soon as these words came out, Qi Kang on the side slightly changed his impression of these people in the martial arts hall.

However, Li Qing wanted to laugh a little, as if he heard something completely different in these words.

"Qi Kang, you need to be calm outside. No matter what happens, don't be impatient." Li Qing quickly warned.

Qi Kang looked a little confused. He didn't know why his master suddenly started teaching him at this time.

"Master, what do you mean by this?" Qi Kang asked.

Li Qing said: "I want you to be calmer. Don't get excited about everything. You must learn to be rational and control your emotions!"

Qi Kang was still confused after hearing these words, but the next moment, the conversation between old master Xu and Zhang Lai came out again, and Qi Kang finally understood his master's intention.

"Brother Zhang is so righteous. I heard that because of this, several streets nearby have raised their monthly fees?" Hallmaster Xu asked with a slightly puzzled tone.

Zhang Lai nodded while sipping the strong wine in the glass: "That's true."

"Then our Chiming Street can't remain silent. Let's do this. Starting from next month, our Chiming Street's money will also increase by one tael of silver every month. When the Star Reaching Thief thing comes to light, we will follow the rules. Pay the same amount as before." Master Xu said.

In the venue, the guests who were having a banquet suddenly became silent, and the atmosphere was audible.Zhang Lai declined: "Hey, how can this be done? The monthly payment has been agreed upon in advance. How can it be raised just as it is said to be? Besides, it is our Feiyun Martial Arts School's responsibility to arrest the Star Raiders."

But the owner of the gym, Xu, immediately retorted generously: "No matter what, Feiyun Martial Arts is working for the people in the city. Since the prices of other streets have increased, let's Chiming Street also increase. I just hope that this star-catching The thief can be caught as soon as possible!"

"Okay! Since Master Xu has this intention, I won't refuse. Our Feiyun Martial Arts School will definitely capture this Star Picker as soon as possible!"

As a result, Xu Qingshan immediately announced the matter while the iron was hot.

He said a lot of high-sounding words, saying that the star-catching thieves were doing all kinds of evil, disrupting the order of the city and making the people live in panic.

And Feiyun Martial Arts School worked tirelessly to do this. From now on, the monthly fee will increase by one or two silver. As long as the Star Reacher is caught, the previous fee will be charged.

After finishing speaking, Zhang Lai also said something like thanking everyone for their support in front of everyone present.

creak!

Qi Kang on the table clenched his fists and his eyes were slightly red.

The other people present looked even more ugly.

Speaking of which, no matter how much the Star Raider disrupts order, it will not affect the merchants doing business like them.

Normally, they would just listen to this matter as a rumor and have fun. They really didn't expect that this matter would actually happen to them.

"This"

Some people hesitate to speak, not daring to take the lead.

An increase of one tael a month would make it 12 taels a year, which is not a small amount of money!
Besides, this star-catching thief is out and about. Let alone arresting him, no one even knows what he looks like. God knows when he will be caught and brought to justice.

In other words, if this star-catching thief is not caught for a day, they will have to pay an extra tael of silver in protection fees!
Who can accept this!

Qi Kang finally understood why his master had previously told him to calm down and learn to be calm when encountering problems. It turned out that he had already foreseen the next scene.

All of a sudden, Qi Kang felt a mixture of emotions in his heart. He admired his master's ability to know things well, but he was also a little disappointed. He was disappointed that he had no martial arts skills and could not do anything when faced with such injustice.

So Qi Kang lowered his head and said nothing.

In the martial arts hall, someone finally spoke out, but the content of his words made people's hearts chill.

"You're right. The heroes of Feiyun Martial Arts School have really worked hard so that we can have a peaceful business environment!"

"That's right, I agree to a monthly increase of one tael of silver!"

"I agree!"

At the main seat, Zhang Lai held up his hands with a bright smile on his face and said: "Thank you all for your love. Don't worry, this star-catching thief will definitely not be free for long. I am here at Feiyun Martial Arts School, so don't worry, everyone!"

The few people who agreed were all merchants who were close to Qingshan Martial Arts School on weekdays.

Everyone else present looked at them as if we had a traitor among them.

It was obvious that these people had received instructions in advance to act with Zhang Lai and Xu Qingshan here.

Li Qing, who was sitting on the seat drinking and eating food, didn't care about these things at all. He tasted the food to himself and stayed away from the incident, as if he was not the one who had to pay.
