Chapter 188: Chapter 170: I Pursue My Own Path

On the morning of July 14th, when Wu Li and his group came to Martial Arts Street again, they saw a busy scene.

There were trucks parked on the side of the street, and students from several Martial Arts Halls were helping move things.

Seeing this, Wu Li was surprised and stopped a student, "What are you doing?"

Wang Xuan translated Wu Li’s words to the student, who recognized Wu Li and spoke in disappointment.

"He said the Master plans to sell the Martial Arts Hall, and they are helping move things," Wang Xuan told Wu Li.

Wu Li was shocked, "How could they suddenly decide to sell the Martial Arts Hall?"

He walked a few steps further and saw that it was not just one, but several Martial Arts Halls that were moving things.

Wu Li hurried to Jiyun Hall. There were no trucks outside Jiyun Hall, nor were there people moving things out, which relieved him.

Wu Li entered the hall and saw the Masters of the seven Martial Arts Halls he had interviewed before, standing by Zhang Shicai, all looking guilty.

When Wu Li entered, Huang Wei came up to him.

"What’s going on?" asked Wu Li.

Huang Wei was furious, "Yesterday, the family members of all seven Masters received threats and were intimidated, and some were even hurt."

Wu Li’s expression darkened, "Did Shaquan Dojo do this?"

Huang Wei gritted his teeth, "It must be Hu Shan who directed the Black Moon Gang to do it."

Wu Li looked at the seven Masters, "So they decided to sell the Martial Arts Halls today?"

Huang Wei sighed, "They announced that if we sell the Martial Arts Halls today, the price will be twenty percent higher than previously discussed. After today, the price won’t be the same. The Masters had no choice but to sell."

Wu Li was silent. Although he felt angry, he couldn’t blame these people. Life was already tough, and it wasn’t right to demand too much from the vulnerable.

"What did your master say?" Wu Li asked.

Huang Wei shook his head, "Master is also hesitating; he’s worried about Xiao Yun’s safety."

Over there, after finishing their discussion with Zhang Shicai, all seven Masters walked towards Wu Li. Upon seeing him, they all bowed their fists in greeting but said nothing, leaving in shame.

Before, Wu Li had stood up for the Martial Arts Halls on Martial Arts Street and had repelled the men from Shaquan Dojo several times. If it weren’t for Wu Li, the signs of these Martial Arts Halls might have been removed long ago.

However, now everyone still decided to sell the Martial Arts Halls, betraying Wu Li’s good intentions. Thus, seeing him, they could only bow in shame and then leave.

Wu Li watched everyone leave Jiyun Hall, then he turned and came to Zhang Shicai’s side, "Master Zhang, how about letting the students stay home for the next few days? Take Xiao Yun and stay with us at the hotel; I’ll see if I can solve this matter."

"Brother Wu, do you have a way?" Huang Wei’s eyes brightened with surprise.

Wu Li: "I’m not sure, but we have to try. For safety, Master Zhang, please stay at the hotel with Xiao Yun for these next few days. There are undercover police protecting us 24 hours a day nearby."

Zhang Shicai hesitated, then nodded, "Then I’ll trouble you."

Wu Li smiled, "You’re welcome."

He then looked at Xiao Yun, "Xiao Yun, will you let brother play with you these next few days?"

"Okay!" Xiao Yun leaped into Wu Li’s arms.

...

After settling Zhang Shicai and Xiao Yun in the hotel, Wu Li found Chen Gang.

"Do you want to solve this through the embassy?"

Before Wu Li could speak, Chen Gang directly asked.

Wu Li nodded, "What do you think?"

Chen Gang shook his head, "I think it’s difficult, not because our embassy isn’t willing to intervene, but because this matter isn’t something they can handle; even if the embassy wants to help Zhang Shicai and the others, they can only do so through local departments in Yuhe City; we won’t stay in Yuhe City for much longer, so the Yuhe City police are willing to guard us 24 hours a day, but Zhang Shicai and the others need to stay here indefinitely; can the police afford to protect them forever?"

"..." Wu Li fell silent; he had considered this point but didn’t want to think about it.

"Moreover, even if due to pressure from the police and other departments, Hu Shan’s group is restrained for a while, it’s only temporary; who can guarantee that Zhang Shicai and Xiao Yun will never have an accident in the future?" Chen Gang continued.

He patted Wu Li’s shoulder, "I understand how you feel, and I also want to help them, but the truth is, we are powerless in many situations."

Wu Li closed his eyes and after a long while nodded, "Understood."

Upon saying this, he left Chen Gang’s room, thought for a moment, and then went to Zhang Shicai’s room, softly knocking on the door.

After a moment, Zhang Shicai opened the door and invited him inside.

Xiao Yun was sleeping on the bed. Zhang Shicai spoke softly, "How did it go?"

Wu Li shook his head, "Sorry, I can’t handle this matter."

Zhang Shicai fell silent, glanced at Xiao Yun beside him, his face showing a bleak expression.

"It’s okay. When such things happen, what can we do?"

His voice was very low, as if afraid of waking the sleeping Xiao Yun, and as if the weight of the world had left him too exhausted to speak.

Wu Li looked at the old man in front of him. Eight years ago, the old man’s son had died, and he had struggled before giving up; eight years later, the Martial Arts Hall passed down from his father was being forcibly bought out, and he was struggling again, but now it seemed he could only give up.

"Elder, I can sponsor you to open a hall somewhere else, or if you don’t mind, you can return to Hua Country and work as an instructor in my Martial Arts Hall. I can help with your accommodation and Xiao Yun’s schooling," Wu Li sincerely said, looking at Zhang Shicai.
