Rise from a Low-class Family to Martial Artist

Chapter 129: Chapter 24: He Who Insults Others Will Be Insulted in Turn (Part 3)

”In a martial duel, losing means our skills are inferior, there’s nothing more to say.”

Zhu Tao naturally wouldn’t reveal the true reason, and Fei Hong had anticipated this, but since he asked, he had a way to force Zhu Tao to tell the truth.

”The six major medical halls in Poyang County are all run by the Zhang Family. Do you think the Zhang Family’s medical hall will treat Wu Ming?”

”Although my Fei Family doesn’t have extensive influence in the county, we can at least make sure your Flying Eagle Martial Arts Hall students can’t rent a carriage. So are you planning to carry Wu Ming back to Yanshan County like this?”

A threat!

Fei Hong’s blatant threat made the disciples of the Flying Eagle Martial Arts Hall furious, whereas the students from the Poyang County martial arts halls didn’t think Fei Hong was excessive at all.

Zhu Tao’s expression kept changing; Senior Brother Wu was seriously injured and needed continued treatment. If delayed, he might miss the upcoming county competition.

If Senior Brother Wu’s treatment was delayed, not only would the Hall Master punish him, but the Wu Family would also trouble him.

By comparison, the promises from that family were nothing.

”Senior Brother Fei, this isn’t right. If this gets out, won’t it make Poyang County martial artists look bad?”

Shao Hong couldn’t sit still and anxiously spoke up.

”Master Shao, what do you mean? Are you planning to treat Wu Ming? If so, I won’t stop you.”

Fei Hong looked at Shao Hong coldly. Shao Hong suddenly felt a chill, realizing that other students were looking at him with doubt and confusion.

If he really took Wu Ming for treatment, he’d soon find himself facing widespread condemnation.

Stuck in a dilemma.

”If you all want to know, then I’ll tell you. Before coming to Poyang County, the He Family approached us, asking us to deal harshly with Lin Chen. Are you satisfied now?”

While Shao Hong was in a difficult position, Zhu Tao directly revealed the truth. He didn’t know why the He Family targeted Lin Chen, nor did he know this involved Shao Hong.

The He Family?

Many students at the scene were confused; a lot of them had never been to Yanshan County and hadn’t heard of the He Family.

”If I’m not mistaken, Junior Brother Shao, one of your sisters is married to a He Family member in Yanshan County.”

Gu Shan thought for a moment, then spoke words that caused an uproar at the scene.

Many students of the Clear Wind Martial Arts Hall looked at Shao Hong with disbelief, unable to believe that Senior Brother Shao would collude with an outside county to deal with Senior Brother Lin.

As for any enmity between the He Family and Senior Brother Lin?

No one at the scene would believe it; Senior Brother Lin’s family background was well-known throughout the county—a fisherman’s family from a small village, unlikely to have offended the He Family.

”Let’s go.”

Fei Hong wasn’t surprised by this answer; he had already suspected it and thus forced Zhu Tao to speak.

Fei Hong, Gu Shan, and Qi Fei left together, followed by the students from the three martial arts halls.

The students from the Clear Wind Martial Arts Hall remained silent for a moment, then left without a glance at Shao Hong.

In their view, whatever grievances existed between Senior Brother Lin and the Martial Arts Hall, making the hall lose face was an internal dispute within Poyang County, but when facing Yanshan County, they should unite against outsiders.

”Junior Brother Shao, perhaps you should discuss this matter with your uncle when you get home.”

Song Yu reminded the pale-faced Shao Hong, saying that although this was merely a conflict among the younger generation, if the news spread, it would affect the Shao Family as well.
