"What??"
Upon hearing this, Hong Jiui exclaid in shock, "Qianfan, don't scare . Although my little mother has been missing for a long ti, under Brother Wolf's leadership, the gang has been quite stable, and moreover, I haven't heard Brother Wolf ntion anything about soone planning a rebellion. Who told you about this? It couldn't be soone deceiving you, right?"
"Qin Sihai!"
Li Qianfan gently uttered three words.
Hearing this na, Hong Jiui fell into silence instantly. Over the years, the Green Dragon Gang had been maintaining a good cooperative relationship with the Four Seas Martial Pavilion. She had so understanding of Qin Sihai's character and was sure he wouldn't joke about such matters.
Could it be that there really was soone planning to rebel within the Green Dragon Gang?
"Wait a minute, I'll ask Brother Wolf. Maybe he already knows about this and has been keeping it from on purpose, not wanting to worry."
This was Hong Jiui's first thought after hearing about the matter.
"Sister Nine, wait a mont. I think we shouldn't alarm anyone right now, including Brother Wolf."
Li Qianfan said, "The person you trust the most right now is your little mother. It would be better for you to make contact with her first."
"Sigh." Hong Jiui sighed heavily and said, "Qianfan, I can't get in touch with my little mother either. But, a few days ago, she did give a call and said so strange things."
"What did she say?" Li Qianfan asked.
Hong Jiui trusted Li Qianfan unconditionally and she didn't conceal anything, saying, "She hid the Gang Edict near and also said sothing like, if she doesn't return within five months, she would tell where the Gang Edict is and then have beco the Gang Leader of the Green Dragon Gang!"
"She must have run into trouble!"
Li Qianfan's expression grew even more serious. It seed the situation was worse than he had imagined.
"Qianfan, what should we do now?"
Hong Jiui rarely got involved in gang affairs, and facing these issues, she felt sowhat at a loss.
Li Qianfan analyzed calmly, "Sister Nine, don't panic. The internal conflicts within the gang haven't fully erupted yet. There are two important things to do now, first is to find out who is about to rebel, and the other is to locate your little mother. Right now, Pavilion Master Qin is investigating the rebels, and what you need to do is find your little mother and have her return to take charge."
With Li Qianfan's help, Hong Jiui's mind beca much clearer. She said, "No problem, I will do everything I can to find her."
After ending the call, the cigarette in Li Qianfan's hand had burned out. He lit another one, his gaze becoming more intense. He had a strong premonition that soon, Taoyuan County, which had been peaceful for a long ti, would undergo an unprecedented reshuffle!
Perhaps, after the reshuffle, the various powers in Taoyuan County would completely rge into one, and there would be only one overlord!
And that overlord would be the ultimate victor.
Li Qianfan had a simple thought: he just wanted to protect Hong Jiui as well as the Four Seas Martial Pavilion, and as for other things, he didn't intend to involve himself too much.
...
After exiting the restroom, Li Qianfan was blocked by the suddenly appearing Zhang Ju.
At this ti, Zhang Ju hadn't yet recovered from his injuries, with his right fist wrapped in gauze, staring sternly at Li Qianfan.
Li Qianfan asked, "Are you here for revenge?"
Zhang Ju shook his head with a wry smile, "With your strength, seeking revenge from you would be just seeking death. I don't want my left fist to be smashed too. I ca to you only to remind you to be careful of Chen Bo. He is sly and petty, and since he's going to the training camp as an instructor, he will definitely find a way to take revenge on you."
Although Li Qianfan didn't take Chen Bo seriously, he couldn't disregard Zhang Ju's kind warning, and he nodded lightly, "No worries, I'll be careful."
"I've heard that this military training has added an outdoor training program at Azure Dragon Mountain, so you need to be even more cautious, especially with Chen Bo; he will definitely stir up trouble during the camping. If any of the students you're responsible for have an accident, our Four Seas Martial Pavilion will surely be held accountable."
Zhang Ju expressed all the worries in his heart. Your next chapter awaits on My Virtual Library Empire
"Don't worry, I'll be very careful with Chen Bo," Li Qianfan assured.
Li Qianfan pointed at Zhang Ju's fists and, changing the subject, asked, "Stop worrying about for a minute. How's your hand?"
Upon ntioning this, a bitter smile appeared on Zhang Ju's face as he said, "The bone has been set back, but there will be sequelae. Even if it fully heals, I won't be able to exert any strength. Perhaps, this is the end of my martial arts journey, and for the rest of my life, I can only serve as a minor instructor at the Four Seas Martial Pavilion."
Li Qianfan asked, "Is your dream to venture into the wider world outside?"
"Of course, the outside world is particularly splendid," Zhang Ju said. "Not to ntion those top-tier cities, just take Zhonghai City for example—it's teeming with powerhouses. In Taoyuan County, I'm considered a talent, but in Zhonghai City, I'm just an average Joe. Moreover, I've heard that people in those top cities have begun to comprehend the thods of becoming cultivators.
Many from the major families have already started becoming cultivators one after another. The world is becoming more and more exciting."
Seeing the yearning on Zhang Ju's face, Li Qianfan asked earnestly, "I ruined your hand, which cost you the chance to venture out. Do you hate for it?"
Zhang Ju replied with great sincerity, "At first, I loathed you to the bone, but now I've co to terms with it. I was the one who challenged you to a fight and ending up like this is just a result of my inferior skills. Besides, I've given it so thought. Being an instructor in a small city is quite good, comfortable!"
Although he said this, his eyes were full of regret.
Li Qianfan remained silent, gently placing an arm around Zhang Ju's shoulder, and said, "Since you don't hate anymore, we're friends from now on. As for your hand, I'll find a way to fix it. If possible, we can venture into the outside world together."
"Sure, if there's a chance, I'd love to have an adventure, as long as you don't mind being a burden," Zhang Ju said with a hearty laugh.
After arriving at Zhang Ju's training room, Li Qianfan suddenly rembered sothing and handed over a thousand Yang Strengthening Pills to Zhang Ju; after all, he was starting his job as a drill instructor the next day, and it would be more convenient for Zhang Ju to pass the pills to Lin Yiren.
Subsequently, Li Qianfan called Lin Yiren to explain the situation.
Upon learning that Li Qianfan wouldn't be personally delivering the Yang Strengthening Pills, Lin Yiren's tone was filled with regret; she had hoped to take the opportunity to have a good ti with Li Qianfan when he ca to deliver the pills.
Now it seed there was no chance.
After hanging up the call, Li Qianfan received a transfer from Lin Yiren—a total of fourteen million.
Checking his bank account, Li Qianfan couldn't be happier.
Afterward, Li Qianfan examined Zhang Ju's palm and found the damage worse than he expected; the fractures were too severe for normal treatnt to be of much use. However, he rembered an elixir ntioned in the Divine Physician Manual called the "Bone-Gathering Pill" that could treat Zhang Ju's bone injury.
"How about it, is there any hope for my hand?" Zhang Ju asked with a face full of anticipation.
Li Qianfan said, "It's treatable, but you'll have to wait until I return from the military training. By then, I'll be able to restore your hand to its original condition."
"That's great!"
Zhang Ju's expression suddenly turned serious and he said, "Qianfan, if you can heal my hand, like Zhao Tianjie, I will acknowledge you as my big brother!"
…
After leaving Zhang Ju's training room, Li Qianfan found Ye Ling'er.
When Ye Ling'er saw Li Qianfan, a spark of excitent flashed in her eyes. She imdiately grabbed Li Qianfan's arm and said, "Co on, tonight, let's have a dicinal bath together!"
