Chapter 778: Chapter 777 We Are Not Brothers

Zhao Ping’an was shocked and distraught, without a second word, he hurriedly drove straight to Dewei Martial Arts Hall.

Upon arriving at the entrance of Dewei Martial Arts Hall, he saw Fatty waiting from a distance.

Zhao Ping’an hurried out of the car, anxiously asking, "Fatty, how is my master?"

"He coughed up a lot of blood, his injuries are not light," Fatty hastily replied.

"What?" Zhao Ping’an anxiously asked, "How did it come to this? How did master end up fighting with people from the Hu Family?"

"You forgot, the Hu Family is trying to integrate all the martial arts halls in the city in these past days, making all the martial arts halls depend on the Hu Family, and having all the masters work for them," Fatty explained. "Master didn’t agree, and he united with some other hall masters to resist, which resulted in the Hu Family’s people coming after him."

Zhao Ping’an couldn’t help but angrily say, "Isn’t the Hu Family going too far with this?"

"Shush," Fatty quickly made a silencing gesture towards Zhao Ping’an, "Keep your voice down, don’t let others hear."

Zhao Ping’an said, "I’m not afraid, this is Dewei Martial Arts Hall, not the Hu Family’s place!"

Fatty said in a low voice, "Although you say that, when the Hu Family left, they dropped a word. If we are willing to work for the Hu Family, there will be many benefits in the future. Quite a few people inside our hall are now wanting to stick with the Hu Family, getting very close to them. If they hear what you’re saying, you’re definitely going to be in trouble!"

Zhao Ping’an’s face turned red with anger, but he indeed dared not say any more and hurriedly walked into the martial arts hall, "I’m going to see master first."

"Hey, don’t rush off, there’s still someone in your car," Fatty said.

Only then did Zhao Ping’an remember Su Yang in his car, and he came over apologetically, "Mr. Su, I’m really sorry, something came up on my side, and I really can’t continue to be your tour guide. How about I contact another local guide for you... "

"No need," Su Yang interrupted him directly, smiling faintly, "I’ve toured around enough, there’s nowhere else I want to go, I’ll just tag along with you."

Zhao Ping’an awkwardly said, "I’m going back to the martial arts hall now, it’s quite chaotic inside, and I will be very busy soon... "

"It’s okay, don’t mind me," Su Yang said with a faint smile, "You do your thing, we are fellow villagers after all, no need for such formalities."

Zhao Ping’an’s face showed a trace of gratitude, "Thank you," he said.

He rushed into the martial arts hall, where there was already a crowd of people gathered inside.

As soon as Zhao Ping’an entered, he could hear loud voices quarreling inside the hall.

"Master Foo, I think there’s nothing wrong with cooperating with the Hu Family. The strength of the Hu Family is clear for all to see. Honestly, with our meager skills, it’s an honor that the Hu Family even notices us. Master Foo, how can you be so out of touch?"

"Indeed, a wise man submits to circumstances. Master Foo, now that the Hu Family has stepped in, it’s the prevailing trend. Do you really think that you and a few others can stop it?"

"Mr. Hu gave you face by coming to talk to you, yet you still want to show him a few tricks, isn’t that just asking for trouble? At your age, wouldn’t it be better to live peacefully?"

Outside, the crowd was full of persuasive talk, mocking taunts, and covert curses.

Inside the room, the people of Dewei Martial Arts Hall also had differing opinions.

"Master, how are you feeling?"

"Stop all this shouting. Can’t you let my master rest in peace!"

"Master, why don’t we just agree? The Hu Family is also considering our Liuan City’s martial arts community. By uniting us, they just want to promote and glorify our martial arts. How can you be so stubborn?"

"I think the eldest senior brother is right. What strength do we have compared to the Hu Family? If the Hu Family comes to us, that means they respect us. Master, what are you fighting for exactly?"

"..."

Zhao Ping’an squeezed through the crowd in a panic and upon seeing his master, Fu Dewei, slumped on the hall floor, his eyes immediately reddened.

Fu Dewei was seriously injured, his clothes soaked with fresh blood, his face pale, and even breathing was extremely difficult for him.

"What on earth are you doing?" Zhao Ping’an yelled as he rushed into the crowd, his voice trembling, "How can you let master sit on the ground like this? Why haven’t you taken him to the hospital?"

Just as Zhao Ping’an reached out to help Fu Dewei, he was firmly pulled back by a middle-aged man next to him.

"Zhao Ping’an, what are you doing?" the man glared and said.

"Eldest senior brother, what are you doing?" Zhao Ping’an said anxiously, "Master is so badly injured, what are you still doing here? Call an ambulance quickly, take master to the hospital!"

"What’s there to take? Master has been practicing martial arts all his life, what kind of storms hasn’t he seen? What’s this little injury to him? Take him to the hospital? Are you looking down on Master or what?" the eldest senior brother shouted angrily.

"What?" Zhao Ping’an was stunned. He was this badly hurt and they still count it as a minor injury? The eldest senior brother was really telling blatant lies with his eyes open.

"Zhao Ping’an, this is none of your business, get lost!" another man shouted angrily, "Go back to your sweeping, can’t you see we’re discussing important matters?"

"Second senior brother, master is so gravely hurt, what could be more important than treating master’s injuries?" Zhao Ping’an said urgently.

"Don’t talk nonsense!" the man immediately glared and said, "Who’s your second senior brother? Don’t call me that so affectionately, we’re not that close!"

"Second senior brother, you... what do you mean by this?" Zhao Ping’an was bewildered.

"What do I mean, don’t you understand?" A skinny man next to him sneered, "You’re different from us; you can’t really be considered as a part of Dewei Martial Arts Hall."

"I am a disciple taken in by master!" Zhao Ping’an said anxiously.

"Pah!" the skinny man said coldly, "You, a disciple taken in by master? How much tuition have you given master? How many years have you learned here? What have you done for master?"

Zhao Ping’an found himself at a loss for words, scratched his head, and said, "But I was personally accepted by master; you all know that!"

"Get lost! Master just said it in passing, and you took it seriously?" the second senior brother said coldly, "You’re just here to sweep floors and do odd jobs, and you think you’re equal to us? Let me tell you, the matters of Dewei Martial Arts Hall have nothing to do with you. Get lost immediately, don’t disturb us, the senior brothers, from discussing important matters!"

"Second senior brother..." Zhao Ping’an still wanted to speak.

"Shut up!" the second senior brother shouted angrily, "Get out!"

Zhao Ping’an was dumbfounded; he had not expected such an outcome. He looked at his master, Fu Dewei, who opened his mouth, wanting to say something, but in the end, he just coughed up a mouthful of fresh blood.

With a look of regret, he gazed at Zhao Ping’an and grabbed his hand, finally squeezing a few words through his clenched teeth, "Run, don’t... don’t bother with me..."

Looking at Fu Dewei’s face full of compassion, Zhao Ping’an clenched his teeth fiercely. Ignoring everyone around, he hoisted Fu Dewei onto his back and said loudly, "Master, I’m taking you to the hospital!"
