"Ah Hsuan!"
"Xiao Xuanzi!"
"Junior Brother, Junior Brother …"
When Huang Fei-hung and the rest saw Ye Xuan, their faces were filled with surprise and joy. They couldn't help but call out to him.
"Master, Thirteenth Aunt, Senior Brothers!" Ye Xuan cupped his fists respectfully at Huang Fei-hung and the rest. He didn't say anything else. Everything was expressed in silence.
"It's you?!" Yan Zhendong looked at Ye Xuan, who was standing not far away, in bewilderment. The scene of a young man handing him three silver dollars when he was selling martial arts suddenly flashed before his eyes.
"It's me, Yan Zhendong, Senior Yan!" Ye Xuan stood still and looked at Yan Zhendong coldly. He said, "I didn't expect to meet you here."
"I didn't expect you to be Huang Fei-hung's disciple either." Yan Zhendong looked at Ye Xuan emotionally.
"Yan Zhendong, why did you come to tear down our signboard in Poh Chi Lam?" Ye Xuan looked at Yan Zhendong coldly.
"I want to open a martial arts dojo in Foshan. I heard that the best fighter in the provincial capital is Huang Fei-hung. As long as I defeat him, I will make a name for myself and let the people of Foshan know that the Yan Family's martial arts are invincible!" Yan Zhendong placed his hands behind his back and looked at Ye Xuan proudly.
"The Yan Family's martial arts are invincible? Hahaha! " Ye Xuan suddenly laughed. He pointed the gun in his hand at Yan Zhendong and said coldly, "I wonder how it compares to the gun in my hand?"
"Do you think I'm afraid of the gun in your hand?" Yan Zhendong narrowed his eyes and said coldly.
"Ding! Yan Zhendong's favorability towards you -30% "
At this time, the System's voice suddenly sounded in Ye Xuan's mind. Ye Xuan's face didn't show any expression. He just said lightly, "Then you can try!"
"Alright!" Yan Zhendong suddenly shouted. He kicked the water on the ground with the tip of his foot, and a water arrow shot toward Ye Xuan. Then, his figure flashed and rushed toward Ye Xuan.
Bang! When Ye Xuan saw the water arrow, he raised his hand and fired a shot. Then, with the tip of his toes, he retreated and fired two more shots. Bang! Bang! One shot was aimed at Yan Zhendong's left shoulder, while the other shot was aimed at Yan Zhendong's right leg.
"Ha!" All the hair on Yan Zhendong's body suddenly stood on end. With a loud shout, he leaped forward and somersaulted in the air like a carp. He felt a chill on his right leg and blood spurted out from it.
"Hmph!" Yan Zhendong groaned in pain. He covered his bleeding right leg with one hand and looked coldly at Ye Xuan, who was aiming a gun at him.
"Master, master, are you okay?" When Liang Kuan saw that Yan Zhendong was injured, he hurriedly ran out of the house. He supported Yan Zhendong and glared at Ye Xuan, saying, "You won by relying on the advantage of a foreign gun. If you have the ability, throw it away. My master only needs one hand to deal with you."
"Hahaha, I haven't even practiced martial arts for half a year, but your master has been practicing for dozens of years and is even practicing the Iron Shirt. Yet, you want me to throw away a foreign gun and fight with your master? Do you think everyone is an idiot like you?" In response to Liang Kuan's words, Ye Xuan only sneered and ridiculed.
"You …" Liang Kuan was speechless.
"Liang Kuan, move aside!" Yan Zhendong pushed Liang Kuan, who was supporting him, and moved his right leg that was already numb from the pain. He endured the pain and said in a deep voice, "Today, I lost. You can do whatever you want to me. However, the Yan family's martial arts are invincible. I only lost to a foreign gun today, not to Poh Chi Lam. "
"Ah Hsuan, let people go when possible. Let Master Yan and the rest go!" Huang Fei-hung walked to Ye Xuan's side and persuaded Ye Xuan.
"Master, don't worry. I won't kill them." Ye Xuan said to Huang Fei-hung respectfully. He then walked to Yan Zhendong and said, "Yan Zhendong, do you really think that my master is famous in the provincial capital because he is good at fighting?"
"If you really think so, then you're wrong." Before Yan Zhendong could answer, Ye Xuan went on, "The reason why my master is famous in the provincial city is not because of his martial arts skills, but because of his chivalrous heart, which is dedicated to the country and the people, saving the people, and curing the world."
"Now that the world has changed, the status of martial arts practitioners has become more and more awkward. A foreign gun in hand is better than a person who has been practicing martial arts for years or even decades. Just like you and me, you have been practicing martial arts for decades and mastered the Iron Shirt that is invulnerable. But so what? Didn't you still lose to me, a person who has only learned martial arts for half a year? "
"I remember a Grandmaster once said that a person's strength doesn't lie in how powerful his martial arts are or how many people he has killed, but in his heart. If he has a righteous heart that doesn't give up, then he will forever be invincible."
"You guys can leave. If I see you again, you won't be so lucky." After Ye Xuan finished speaking, he turned around and walked behind Huang Fei-hung.
"A person's strength does not lie in his martial arts or the number of people he has killed, but in his heart. If he has a heart of justice that does not give up …" Yan Zhendong's eyes were blank as he muttered to himself. Suddenly, his eyes lit up, and the dispirited feeling from his defeat was swept away. It was as if he had been reborn.
"Thank you for not killing me. Liang Kuan, let's go!" Yan Zhendong nodded at Ye Xuan, then let Liang Kuan support him out of Poh Chi Lam.
"Ding! Congratulations, you have obtained 60% of Yan Zhendong's favorability. The system rewards you with 3,000 Cultivation Points. " Just as Yan Zhendong turned around and was being supported by Liang Kuan, the system's voice suddenly rang out in Ye Xuan's mind.
What's going on? Why did I suddenly obtain 60% favorability? Ye Xuan was puzzled as to why he suddenly obtained 60% favorability from Yan Zhendong. He had injured him, and now Yan Zhendong had developed a favorable impression of him.
Why were people so complicated?
"Ah Hsuan, you should leave as well! The guards were injured by them just now. The yamen's people will definitely blame it on me. The soldiers will be here soon. Shirong, Ah Kai, Ah Su, you guys take some silver as travel expenses and leave with us! Thirteenth Aunt, go and wake up the uncle who just returned from Jinshan, "Huang Fei-hung looked at his disciples who were standing at the side and shouted," What are you guys still standing there for? Every one of you who leaves counts! "
"Master!" Ye Xuan, who was originally standing at the side, suddenly knelt down.
"Ah Hsuan, what are you doing? Quickly get up!" Huang Fei-hung was shocked when he saw Ye Xuan suddenly kneeling down. He hurriedly helped him up.
"Master, the incident in Poh Chi Lam started because of me. If I wasn't someone from Poh Chi Lam, that dog of a military officer wouldn't have any reason to find trouble with Poh Chi Lam," Ye Xuan said with his head lowered.
"What are you trying to say?" Huang Fei-hung frowned and looked at Ye Xuan who was kneeling on the ground with a gloomy expression.
"Master, I have killed General Wigans of the British Navy and the American businessman Jishan's men. The British and the Americans will definitely not let me off. As long as I am still a person from Poh Chi Lam, the government and those foreigners will not let go of Poh Chi Lam. For the safety of Poh Chi Lam and my fellow martial brothers, I beg master to expel me from the yamen! "Ye Xuan knelt on the ground and said with bloodshot eyes.
"Junior Martial Brother, Junior Martial Brother, Xiao Xuanzi …" Thirteenth Aunt, Wang Shirong, and the others didn't expect Ye Xuan to say such words and were instantly shocked.
"Bastard, what are you talking about …" Hearing Ye Xuan's words, Huang Fei-hung was also stunned. Then, a surge of anger rose in his heart. He didn't expect his proudest disciple to say such words.
Suddenly, the sound of horses' hooves and people's footsteps came from outside the door. Then, a voice was heard, "Men, surround Poh Chi Lam. Don't let anyone go."
"Oh no, Ah Hsuan, get up and leave from the back door!" Huang Fei-hung's face changed when he heard the voice coming from outside. He quickly shouted at Ye Xuan.
"Master, please forgive me for being unfilial! Bang! Bang! Bang! " Ye Xuan suddenly knelt on the ground and kowtowed three times to Huang Fei-hung. While Huang Fei-hung was still in a daze, Ye Xuan stood up from the ground and ran to the corner of the courtyard and climbed up the roof. When he saw the Admiral and his men walking in, he suddenly shouted at Huang Fei-hung, "Huang Fei-hung, you despicable person who betrayed your disciple for glory. How dare you secretly report my information to the government. From today onwards, I, Ye Xuan, will sever all ties with you!"
As soon as he finished speaking, Ye Xuan raised his gun and fired a shot at Huang Fei-hung's direction. Then, he jumped down from the corner of the roof.
"Quick, quick, capture him!" Seeing that Ye Xuan was actually trying to escape, the Admiral quickly waved his hand and ordered the yamen runners outside to capture him.
