An old man with a ruddy face and a short beard, holding three iron balls in his hand, turned his head and said politely to a man beside him dressed in a Confucian robe and a turban, "Protector Yin, have you seen anything?"

The scholar surnamed Yin didn't answer immediately upon hearing this, but walked forward a few steps and came to the three people lying on the ground.

If Lu Jing were here, he would have recognized that the three people were the thugs from the Three Tiger Gang who had caused trouble at his house not long ago.

At this moment, they were crying to the red-faced old man, snot and tears streaming down their faces, recounting their tragic experiences.

"Second Master Guo, you must stand up for us! That kid surnamed Lu is too欺人太甚, he doesn't take our Three Tiger Gang seriously at all!"

"We went to his residence, revealed our identities, and tried to persuade him nicely to return to the dock to carry goods, but not only did he not listen, but also... also..."

"Also what?" Second Master Guo asked expressionlessly.

"The little ones dare not say."

"Don't, don't, don't, I want to know, tell me, I won't blame you."

"Then the little ones will speak frankly, he also scolded you as a skin-flaying ghoul, falling into money, making money off of him, and not taking a piss to look at yourself, what kind of dogshit thing you are."

"Not bad, not bad, his level of cursing is comparable to yours."

"How dare we say that to you, Second Master Guo, those were all the kid's original words, and after he finished speaking, he directly attacked us, ambushing us when we weren't prepared."

"What, he even ambushed you when you weren't prepared?" The expression on Second Master Guo's face became even more interesting.

"That's right, brothers, we were careless for a moment, and we were tricked by that kid, if we had drawn our weapons earlier, then the ones lying at Second Master's feet would be... Ouch!" One person suddenly let out a pig-like scream while speaking excitedly.

It turned out that the scholar surnamed Yin had suddenly reached out and grabbed his wrist, which had been broken by the stick.

Afterwards, the scholar surnamed Yin checked the other two's broken arms, cracked heads, and the wound on that person's waist. He checked very carefully, and he pinched every broken bone on the bodies of several people, carefully savoring the strength and angle of that stick at the time. As a result, all three people on the ground were in so much pain that they passed out again.

After a long while, the scholar surnamed Yin stood up from the ground, took out a handkerchief and wiped his hands, and then began to answer Second Master Guo's previous question, "He is a martial artist."

Second Master Guo ignored the three useless pieces of trash on the ground and frowned, "But is he the person beside Wei Zixian before?"

The scholar surnamed Yin shook his head, "How proud is the senior brother of the Sword Washing Pavilion, how can the people standing beside him be ordinary people? Judging from the injuries on these three people, the skill of the person wielding the stick is not very skillful, and his internal strength cultivation is also average. He should not be considered a master yet. Of course, it is no problem to deal with ordinary people, but if he encounters other martial artists, I am afraid it will be difficult for him to gain an advantage."

"Then it's just a coincidence with the name." Second Master Guo breathed a sigh of relief, "Such a powerful master, it is unlikely that he would condescend to a small Green Bamboo Gang, let alone work as a porter at the dock for nine months. With this skill, it is better to use it to practice."

The scholar surnamed Yin did not respond.

Second Master Guo paused, and then continued, "Although he is not a master, he is still a martial artist anyway, why not try to recruit him first? If he knows what's good for him and is willing to join my Three Tiger Gang, then the previous matter will naturally be written off, but if he doesn't know what's good for him, I will personally take a trip to get rid of this trouble, so as to deter those in the gang who still have ulterior motives."

As soon as he finished speaking, he saw a person rushing in from outside, "Second Master, Protector Yin, we have already found out that the porter named Lu Jing has a master with the nickname 'Sky Soaring Hawk' Zhang Sanfeng."

Upon hearing this, the three iron balls that Second Master Guo had been tossing in his hand suddenly stopped moving, and after a moment, two of them fell from his hand to the ground.

"Second Master, the little one also asked some old people in the Green Bamboo Gang about the details of this Zhang Sanfeng. He was originally a镖师 in a small镖局, and later he was invited by the previous leader of the Green Bamboo Gang to come to Wujiang City to be an offering to the Green Bamboo Gang."

"Wait, this Green Bamboo Gang still has an offering?" Second Master Guo was surprised, "We didn't see this person come forward when we annexed the Green Bamboo Gang, and no one mentioned him afterwards."

"Oh, he went out more than ten days ago and hasn't returned yet, so he just missed this series of events in the city, and he never cares about the affairs of the gang on weekdays. 解连铖 basically kept his monthly four coins of money out of respect for the previous leader. Before, things happened one after another, and everyone forgot about him."

"Then this old Mr. Zhang's martial arts..."

"Not a master." The man said truthfully, "This... basically all the small leaders and the leaders and deputy leaders of the gang know, it's not a secret."

Second Master Guo's brows furrowed even deeper, "What exactly does Wei Zixian mean, why does he want to support an old镖师 who is not a master? Could it be... that this person is a relative of his family, then this matter is not easy to handle. The Sword Washing Pavilion is now the leader of the righteous martial arts world, and Wei Zixian's actions are even more domineering. If we move the gang under the protection of his family, I am afraid the Three Tiger Gang will..."

"Stop guessing blindly." The scholar surnamed Yin finally opened his mouth and said, "A powerful master does have a way to disguise himself as an ordinary江湖人 who is not a master, but an ordinary江湖人 can never pretend to be a master no matter what. I will personally meet that Lu Jing, and then I will know whether this pair of master and apprentice is a real dragon or a grass snake."

"But Wei Zixian's side..." Second Master Guo still had some concerns.

"Wei Zixian is a person with a bad temper and a foul mouth, but he always does what he says. If Zhang Sanfeng is really his relative, he will directly say that the other party is his relative, and he will not stubbornly promote some hidden master. So if the porter named Lu Jing is really a person from Wei Zixian's side, his martial arts must be good, otherwise... the nickname 'Sky Soaring Hawk' has already been shouted rotten in the江湖. There were not many people in the inn that day. Jianghu rumors, it is normal for one or two words to be misheard."

Seeing that Second Master Guo was still a little uneasy, the scholar surnamed Yin simply said, "Don't worry, we are just sparring, we won't use weapons, and we won't cause any trouble. Others don't matter, our Three Tiger Gang and them are in the same Wujiang City, we can't pretend not to know each other.

"Find out sooner, so that in the future, if you want to burn incense, you can know where the temple is."
