Chapter 92: Chapter 80 Zhu Family Boxing Gym

Huai River Pier, in the central area of the southeastern district, stood a vast estate.

At this moment, a gaunt man with a furious expression stood in the center of the hall.

This man was none other than Duan Yu, the Deputy Gang Leader of the Feiyun Gang.

Duan Yu paced back and forth in the hall, his chest heaving incessantly, clearly unsettled.

Recalling how his younger brother vanished inexplicably yesterday and how Old Wang’s family fled overnight, he could sense that something was amiss.

The anger in Duan Yu’s heart couldn’t be vented, so he took the teapot beside him and smashed it onto the ground.

Crash!

The exquisite teapot shattered into countless pieces instantly.

The gang members below bowed their heads, bodies trembling slightly, and bent even lower.

"Are you telling me the people disappeared? How could seven or eight people suddenly vanish? Alive, I want to see the person; dead, I want to see the body! Go find them!"

"And bring that old man and his family back to me! Dig three feet deep if you have to, but find them!"

"If there’s no lead by tomorrow, you’re all going to feed the fish in the river!"

"Understood, I’ll handle it immediately." a person in the front of the crowd responded in a low voice.

Duan Yu’s face was sullen, his gaze unfriendly, as he looked at the timid crowd, a sinister fire surged within him, ready to erupt.

"Old Duan, why such a big temper?" At this moment, a steady voice came from outside the house.

A robust man entered the hall with strides like a dragon and a tiger, his steps steady.

This person was over eight feet tall, with large ears and a square face, exuding a steady aura, and his leopard-like eyes made people shiver.

He was Sun Guangchun, the Gang Leader of the Feiyun Gang.

Watching Duan Yu lose his temper in the hall, Sun Guangchun frowned.

"Greetings to the Gang Leader!" The gang members lifted their heads to see the newcomer and hastily saluted.

"You may leave now." He waved his hand.

After the people disappeared, Sun Guangchun opened his mouth and said, "About the incident yesterday at the pier, the conflict between two masters at the Condensing Yuan level, do you have any news?"

Seeing Sun Guangchun ask, Duan Yu gradually restrained his agitation and regained his composure.

"I don’t know where these masters came from. We checked with Huaining Hall, but couldn’t ascertain exactly who they are." Duan Yu shook his head. "I am troubled by this matter, and there’s no news from Qu Dong this morning, not sure who’s ambush he fell into."

"The matter we discussed last time, how goes the investigation?" Sun Guangchun casually sat down on a circle chair, rubbing his brow.

"There is indeed such a thing." Duan Yu replied in a low voice. "I heard there’s an injury, but it’s unclear how severe, so I’m worried it might be a ruse."

"What’s happening on the Qingzhu Gang’s side?" Sun Guangchun, intrigued, started formulating a plan internally.

"Hehe, them? Naturally, they smelled the meat and are waiting to play the fisherman later!" Duan Yu sneered.

"Once we make a move, they certainly won’t sit idle. Even eating shit, one must do it while it’s hot." Sun Guangchun nodded and then said in a low voice, "Today, besides this matter, I have another extremely important matter."

Upon hearing this, Duan Yu glanced around and, with little movement, leaned in to listen.

"It’s about unifying the three gangs at the pier." Sun Guangchun whispered in a voice only they could hear, "And someone wants to stand against the Academy. We’re just the beginning."

Upon hearing this, Duan Yu’s pupils suddenly contracted.

He abruptly looked up at Sun Guangchun opposite him, whose expression was equally solemn.

*******

After having lunch, Lin Yuan tidied himself up. Looking at the spirited face in the bronze mirror, Lin Yuan nodded.

It’s not that he cared about these appearances, but rather to show sincerity and respect towards Zhu Lingshan.

With a gift in hand, Lin Yuan boarded the carriage prepared by Wu Qingyang and headed towards the Zhu Family Martial Arts Gym.

As the carriage progressed, the gym was located in the southeastern region of Yanghua Town, about an hour’s journey from where he was.

"Whoa."

The coachman stopped the vehicle.

Lin Yuan stepped out of the carriage and looked ahead.

Before him stood a grand and heavy gate, resembling that of a prosperous household. Suspended above the gate was a striking plaque inscribed with the words "Zhu Family Martial Arts Gym," written with forceful strokes, showcasing the gym’s prestige and strength.

On either side of this gate were two tall stone sculptures of red-crowned cranes, exuding elegance and vitality. Two disciples in hemp vests, standing with a robust posture, appeared intimidating to onlookers.

At that moment, a head disciple saw Lin Yuan step off the carriage. Although Lin Yuan looked ordinary, his eyes were as deep as the abyss, carrying an extraordinary aura, prompting him to prepare to approach and ask his intent.

"Brother-in-law. Senior Brother."

Xiao Yun came running out from behind the door, eager to call Lin Yuan ’brother-in-law.’

But realizing they hadn’t officially married yet, she corrected herself to "Senior Brother."

Lin Yuan nodded, admiring Xiao Yun’s cute, flushed face, and couldn’t resist patting her on the head.

"Miss is currently instructing the gym’s disciples in martial arts. I’ve been waiting here for you." Xiao Yun shrunk her neck but couldn’t escape Lin Yuan’s big hands.

"Let’s go, lead me to her." Lin Yuan replied with a smile.

Under the watchful eyes of the head disciples, Xiao Yun led Lin Yuan through the grand gate.

What greeted them was an expansive martial arts field. On both sides were two weapon racks lined with various weapons.

In the center, dozens of disciples were practicing various forms of martial arts, their sweat pouring continuously.

Seeing these disciples, Lin Yuan couldn’t help but remember the youths from Bull Horn Village, who were just like this.

But these disciples clearly had much higher martial prowess. After all, to train in martial arts at such a gym, one needed a wealthy background to afford tuition and consume the gym’s special tonics.

Xiao Yun continued onward, not stopping in the outer training field.

The two crossed the outer arena, stepped over the courtyard wall, and arrived at the rear courtyard.

In the rear courtyard, there was also an arena, smaller yet more refined and robust.

Zhu Lingshan was there.

Lin Yuan watched as she donned a tight-fitting training uniform, perfectly outlining her toned figure. Her hair was tied into a neat ponytail, with a few strands gently laying against her cheeks and neck, adding a touch of soft feminine charm to her spirited demeanor.

She was currently diligently instructing seven or eight disciples in the authentic techniques of the Zhu Family Martial Arts Gym.

"Senior Brother, you’ve come." Zhu Lingshan raised her head and, upon seeing Lin Yuan’s figure, couldn’t contain her joy and hurried over.

"I hope I’m not late?" Lin Yuan chuckled lightly.

"Just in time, Master has just returned." Zhu Lingshan shook her head, her smile like blossoming flowers. "I’ll go with you."

Zhu Lingshan took a couple of steps, then seemed to remember her junior brothers were still training, and instructed, "You all keep practicing, don’t slack off."

"Yes." The junior brothers hastily responded affirmatively.

After pretending to train, once the three of them were gone, the disciples quickly gathered together to whisper.

"That’s Senior Brother Lin, truly outstanding to have won Sister Zhu’s favor." One of them exclaimed in admiration and curiosity.

"I heard this senior brother managed to kill An Heng, who was ranked 29th in the Academy. Truly impressive," another added.

"Indeed, and because of this, it’s said this senior brother stirred up considerable trouble."

"Didn’t Second Master suggest marrying Sister Zhu to the Senior Brother? How did this Lin Senior Brother suddenly appear?"

"Senior Brother has always been interested in Sister Zhu, if he finds out about this, will he?"

Their initial curiosity turned into a sense of foreboding as they discussed further.

Lin Yuan, unaware of their gossip, followed Zhu Lingshan into the inner hall.

The inner hall was equally expansive, with dozens of side rooms on either side.

From afar, they could see the spacious central hall.

Zhu Lingshan and Lin Yuan passed through the corridor towards the hall.

Suddenly, a figure appeared in their sight.

This person had dark skin, jet-black hair, unusually sharp eyes, and a face full of neatly groomed beard.

Wearing a green ornate robe, he walked with composure towards the three of them.

It was Ouyang Xing, the second-ranking master of the gym.

"Greetings, Second Master." Zhu Lingshan and Xiao Yun quickly saluted.

Lin Yuan also lowered his head in salute, not saying much.

He could already feel a distinct sharpness of Spiritual Energy emanating from the elder, indicating he was also a Condensing Yuan realm figure.

Hearing their greetings, Ouyang Xing nodded slightly, scrutinized Lin Yuan, then frowned.

Clearly, he was not welcoming of Lin Yuan’s presence.

"Second Master, this is Senior Brother Lin Yuan from the Academy, here to visit our master." Zhu Lingshan could tell what her second master was thinking, and explained.

Lin Yuan took the opportunity to salute again.

"Hmm." Ouyang Xing replied coldly, without further words, and proceeded towards the training field.

Watching Ouyang Xing’s retreating figure, Zhu Lingshan bit her lip.

"Senior Brother, don’t mind it. Our matter only requires our master’s consent." Zhu Lingshan turned and softly comforted Lin Yuan.

Lin Yuan said nothing, reaching out to pat Zhu Lingshan’s hand in understanding.

They continued onward, stepping into the vestibule.

Zhu Lingshan gestured for Lin Yuan to wait as she passed through the vestibule to invite her master from the quiet chamber.

Soon, Zhu Lingshan returned with an energetic elderly man.
