Chapter 72
Personal Disciple
Scale Python Martial Arts School.
Two people were staying in a luxurious and elegant guesthouse.
These are Wu Zhengzhong, the third disciple, whose physical bones were destroyed and whose tendons in his hands and feet were severed.
And the master's beloved disciple, Duan Xu.
He was rescued more than a month ago. During this time, Jiang Zhongkun brought in the best doctors in the inner city.
They also invited several itinerant doctors from other counties who were skilled in acupuncture and pharmacology.
Unfortunately, everyone's answer was the same: there was no cure, and even if things went smoothly, he would at most be a useless person in the future.
Today, Jiang Zhongkun, along with his eldest disciple Lin Zhennan and second disciple Xiao Xiangbei, entered the guesthouse to check on the condition of his two disciples.
"Master, save me! You must save me!" Wu Zhongkun glanced at Duan Xu beside him, his eyes darting around as he began to plot.
If I were to ask my master to save me, it might not be enough.
If he were to save his junior brother first, things would be different, so he quickly said, "Master, you can leave me alone for now."
You must rescue your junior brother first. He's your precious son, but in our martial arts school, besides your own son, he's the only one left.
The only disciple with top-tier innate talent!
Duan Xu also raised his head. Without the support of his vital energy, the pain from his injuries made him grimace.
The sensation was like being fried in a pan of oil, causing excruciating pain.
"Master, I want revenge. I want to break that damned Black Wolf's arms and legs. You must save me, you must have a way, right?"
Jiang Zhongkun, who was tall and slender with slanted snake eyes, sighed: "Zhengzhong, it's amazing that you have such a caring attitude towards your junior brother."
Your teacher is very pleased. Xu'er, you should rest well, and your teacher will do everything in my power to cure you and Zheng Zhong.
Even if it costs my entire Scale Python Martial Arts School everything, I will never abandon you two.
And we must avenge this!
After saying this, Jiang Zhongkun instructed the servants to give the two disciples some pain-relieving medicine to soothe their muscles and bones.
Stepping outside, Jiang Zhongkun stood with his hands behind his back and asked, "Zhennan, Xiangbei, who exactly is that Black Wolf Guest?"
Have either of you fought against him?
Lin Zhennan slowly licked his teeth with his tongue: "We never fought each other directly, but I did see this person during the martial arts exam."
However, it was dark and we were in the middle of a jungle, so the disciple could only see that his technique involved moving in a crouching position.
"Walk while crouching?"
"Yes, Master, I saw it too. Do you think it could have been done by someone from the Broken Mountain Martial Arts School?"
Xiao Xiangbei cracked his knuckles. Recently, Black Wolf's reputation had soared, and he was now a household name.
The more this is the case, the more likely martial artists like Xiao Xiangbei with internal strength will want to fight him in order to make a name for themselves.
Jiang Zhongkun snorted coldly: "Then Lin Hu and Liu Mingze of the Broken Mountain Martial Arts School certainly have this kind of strength when they work together."
However, it is absolutely impossible to fight two people at once in a deep alley.
According to the neighbors, there were only three people present that day, so it was definitely not one of the two.
Moreover, neither of them had any real feelings for the Broken Mountain Martial Arts School.
You don't really think these two ambitious guys will spend their whole lives in that small, run-down martial arts school, do you?
Hmph, it won't be long before these two guys are taken away by the Dragon Elephant Academy. No, they'll voluntarily join the Dragon Elephant Academy.
Therefore, even if they could do it, it definitely wouldn't be either of them.
Lin Zhennan nodded: "The other disciples of that Broken Mountain Martial Arts School don't have that kind of strength."
Zhang Chen is practically useless, Zhou Ye's martial arts skills are not superb, but Chen Feng's two beautiful daughters are quite capable.
However, their methods of killing were indecisive, and they lacked practical experience.
This disciple cannot think of anyone else who could do that at that broken-down martial arts school.
Duan Xu's brother...
"You mean that peasant from a hunter's family?"
Hmph, if he really had such abilities, I would have taken him in with me back then.
That guy's basic talent was only at the second level, so it was just a coincidence that he was able to advance to the level of internal strength.
Such coincidences have occurred before in the Hundred Thousand Mountains.
His strength is probably less than half of yours. If Xu'er hadn't been injured, he could have easily subdued that kid with one hand.
The group temporarily ruled out Poshan Martial Arts School as a suspect.
"Investigate! Distribute your men and investigate!"
Even if it means turning this entire county upside down, I will avenge Xu'er! My Scaled Python Martial Arts School will never suffer such humiliation!
"yes!"
"Master, Bai He, the head of Baiyutang, requests your presence." A disciple hurriedly came to report.
"Alright, you two go and inform the other disciples and servants about the search for Black Wolf."
The person who finds this person will be rewarded with five taels of silver and a packet of Qi and Blood Powder.
Whoever seriously injures this person will be rewarded with fifteen taels of silver and a packet of Qi and Blood Powder.
If we can capture him, I will take him as my personal disciple and reward him with three Qi and Blood Pills.
……
Xiangzi Tower.
The largest teahouse outside Huangshe County was filled with the fragrance of sandalwood and tea. On the second floor, in the pavilion facing outwards, Bai He and Jiang Zhongkun were having a chat over tea.
"Bai He, you've done a good job in suppressing Renhetang recently."
In the second fistfight, although Zhao Yuan lost, his men and the hall could not find anyone who could reliably defeat the latter two martial artists.
"Since you've come all this way, I have something to tell you!" Jiang Zhongkun, holding a high position, had sharp eyes.
This made Bai Yutang and the other representatives of various forces afraid to look him in the eye.
Bai He quickly cupped his hands in thanks and said softly, "Master Jiang, please feel free to ask for anything, and I will do my best to fulfill it!"
"Have you heard of Black Wolf? Help me find out where he is. Capturing him alive would be best, but killing him is also acceptable."
Upon hearing the name Black Wolf Guest, everyone was taken aback, because they all knew it.
The Black Wolf had crippled Jiang Zhongkun's most prized disciple a few months ago. Anyone would be furious if they hadn't done that.
"Don't worry, Master Jiang, I'll take care of this."
In terms of skilled martial artists, who in the entire outer county can compare with our Scale Python Martial Arts School and Bai Yutang?
"But this Black Wolf has not been seen for more than a month. Could it be..." Bai He said tentatively.
Jiang Zhongkun snorted: "If he was really killed, do you think that person wouldn't come forward and let everyone know him?"
Wealth, women, power, fame, strength, and status are things that no one pursues.
If Black Wolf were really dead, the news would have spread long ago!
Bai He said no more. After chatting for a while, Jiang Zhongkun and his two disciples returned to the Scaled Python Martial Arts School.
Only Bai He and a few of his men remained in the entire attic.
"Master, the most urgent matter is..."
"Of course it's a fistfight, but we also need to find the Black Wolf Guest, who wants to completely gain the protection of the Scaled Python Martial Arts School."
This Black Wolf is undoubtedly the best pledge of allegiance. The fistfight in a few days is a sure thing, and Renhetang will be completely wiped out then.
"Then, the head of Black Wolf will be the proof of our Bai Yutang's prestige!"
The group burst into laughter. Suddenly, Bai He noticed a beautiful woman dressed in plain white clothes walking towards them from a distance on the street below the pavilion.
The woman had a slender figure and snow-white skin; her unparalleled beauty captivated Bai He for a moment.
"Whose daughter is this? She's so beautiful! Judging from her clothes, she doesn't seem to be from a wealthy family."
She's even three points more beautiful than Chen Feng's two daughters! Bai He said urgently.
"This person seems to be Duan Xu's aunt."
"Yes, yes, yes, it's Duan Xin, the aunt he calls his future wife!" Bai He's subordinate replied.
"This Duan Xin is far too presumptuous. Does she have no regard for worldly etiquette?"
"Since that's the case, I'll take care of it for him." Bai He gave one of his subordinates a look.
"Master, if Duan Xu finds out..."
"What are you afraid of? He's a cripple now, and even if he gets better in the future, he'll still be a cripple."
Jiang Zhongkun won't support him forever. He's bringing him here, and those two beauties he keeps at home are yours for the taking!
"Yes, Master. Please wait a moment, we'll be right back!"
