Chapter 6, Task Completed
I am scared staying alone in the room, brother, can I sleep with you?
Li Huai said coldly: "Third Master sent me to help you in order to solidify your position within the Flying Eagle Gang. Do not expect me to truly regard you as my boss, obeying you like those little lackeys!"
As for this season, he holds a position similar to that of Li Huai, both being relatively young enforcers under the command of Master Hu San. However, compared to Li Huai, he does not have much notoriety
It is unclear whether it is because Li Huai does not regard Su Xin highly, or if the term "minion" has pricked his feelings
Upon seeing Li Huai's attitude, Huang Bingcheng was immediately enraged
Master Hu San said that refining the acupoints is exceptionally difficult, a point with which Su Xin both agrees and disagrees.
This was also the only valuable item in his home, and even during the most difficult times, he never considered pawning the bracelet
The silver given by Su Xin is excessive, which is harmful to Wang A Po
Huang Bingcheng explained: "This was left behind by those from the Qingzhu Gang in the past. Now, Kuaihuo Forest belongs to us, and this place naturally should belong to you, the boss."
You are indeed a master strategist, Third Master; I am truly impressed.
Su Xin looked up and was surprised to see that it had already turned dark outside
Master Hu San did not have the guidance of a renowned teacher in his early years, and his internal skills were not particularly advanced. Furthermore, his innate talent for martial arts was rather mediocre, which meant he could only focus on external techniques such as the Iron Sand Palm. It is quite normal for him to have refined only thirteen acupoints over the course of forty years.
Xin'er blinked her big eyes at Su Xin, wearing an expression that seemed to say if you don't agree to me, I will cry for you to see
He is a clever man and would not act in such a manner. If he were to betray me, he would only carry the unjust label of being ungrateful. In our line of work, if one's reputation is tarnished, who would still want to associate with you? Therefore, by betraying me, he would gain not a single benefit.
The leader is now old, and he has begun to cultivate the young leader. When the young leader takes office, it will be a new era with new officials. Do you think he will look favorably upon us old-timers? It would be better to step down in advance to avoid being a hindrance to certain individuals.
"Do you know these two people?" Su Xin suddenly asked
With each successful breakthrough, one's physical strength, vitality, and true energy will experience a significant increase
Su Xin nodded
The middle-aged scholar clasped his hands in admiration, and now he understood why Master Hu San had so abruptly taken Su Xin as his adopted son; it turned out that he had considered this matter with such foresight
"Alright, alright, you are all grown up now, so there's no need to be shy." Su Xin patted Xin Er's little head and said, "Come on, brother will take you to move to the new house."
That courtyard is located right next to the Happy Forest. Although it is not a large residence with three entrances and exits, it is still a sizable siheyuan.
Ji Gang smiled and cupped his fist towards Su Xin, saying: "Boss Su, this is just his character, please don't take it to heart. I will go and persuade him right away"
Seeing Su Xin already lift his foot to leave, he immediately followed suit
The middle-aged scholar hesitated a bit: "But Third Master, one can know a person's face but not their heart. This young man has such deep schemes; are you not afraid that he may repay kindness with enmity in the future?"
Upon seeing Su Xin, Xin'er immediately ran over, as if she were a sloth clinging to Su Xin's body.
The most valuable asset in the entire household is probably that piece of land
At Kuaihuolin, Huang Bingcheng has made all the arrangements, and Su Xin can check in directly
Master Hu San revealed a cryptic smile at the corner of his mouth: "That young man was right; I have grown old and can no longer fight. If I stay in this position for another ten years, I will be due for retirement.
You can go, but be sure to behave while sleeping and do not wet the bed
Thus, Su Xin only took a few pieces of clothing for personal wear and considered the matter settled
Congratulations to the host for completing the novice task, successfully earning 10 points of villain value and one junior Qi-nourishing pill
The young girl does not feel a sense of security; she is indeed not accustomed to being alone in a room.
After Su Xin and his companions returned to the Happy Forest, the original gang members, upon seeing that Su Xin not only survived his encounter with Master Hu San but also brought back two formidable enforcers with considerable influence within the gang, immediately changed their attitude towards him
Under the power of the Qi Nourishing Pill, the acupoint was quickly integrated with true energy, the blood flowing through the acupoint instantly became thick and abundant, and the true energy flowing through there became unobstructed, without any sense of obscurity
Upon seeing Su Xiner's appearance, a surge of murderous intent welled up in Su Xin's heart
Su Xin gently shook her head: "You don't understand, a dog that bites usually doesn't bark"
Su Xin picked up Su Xin'er and, before leaving, left a silver ingot worth only one tael on Wang A Po's stall
Recalling his former dilapidated home, Su Xin ceased any further conversation with Huang Bingcheng and directly left the Happy Forest
Su Xin remembered that his mother seemed to have left behind a bracelet, which he had always entrusted to Su Xin'er for safekeeping
But he softly said, "Don't worry, brother will bring back the bracelet tomorrow, now let's go see our new home"
Huang Bingcheng has lived for half a lifetime and this is the first time he has encountered such a thing
By that time, Su Xin should have grown up. With him as my adopted son in power, I need not fear that people will turn their backs on me. At the very least, I can still secure the wealth and honor for the latter half of my life
However, Su Xin possesses a major villain system, and resources are not lacking at all
Boss, I have finished tidying up your room, and you can move in at any time
Having lived in a slum since childhood, Su Xiner was overjoyed to suddenly move into such a "luxurious" place, her small eyes squinting like crescent moons all afternoon
The Happy Forest has always belonged to the Qingzhu Gang, but recently, for reasons unknown, the Feiying Gang suddenly declared war on the Qingzhu Gang, which led to the seizure of the Happy Forest.
By the way, Xin'er, where is the bracelet left by Mother
When mentioning Li Huai, Huang Bingcheng's face was filled with anger: "Hmph! But that Li Huai is just too damn arrogant. What does he think he is? Isn't he just as much a lackey now, not even a small leader? He looks down on the minions, but he himself is just a minion!"
Compared to that previous Qi Nourishing Pill, the appearance of this Junior Qi Nourishing Pill is at least much better, and its rating level is one star
Huang Bingcheng scratched his head in confusion, somewhat unclear about what Su Xin meant.
Master Hu San waved his hand, reining in his smile, and said: "Cunning and scheming? I suppose so. Having navigated through so many years, if I didn't have some calculations, I wouldn't have made it to today"
Xin'er is still at Granny Wang's noodle stall
He said I should compensate for his losses, and then he snatched the bracelet away. Brother, is Xin'er really useless
Arranged for Su Xiner to rest, while Su Xin returned to his own room and took out the primary Qi-nourishing pill.
Compared to some mediocre individuals, even with internal strength, it is indeed quite difficult to refine the acupoints
"Bracelet ... ... bracelet ... ... " A look of fear was evident on Xin'er’s small face, and she was too aggrieved to speak.
Huang Bingcheng quickly replied: "Everything has been arranged. The accommodations are all the best rooms at Dongsheng Inn, costing one or two silver coins each day."
Brother! You are back!
Brother, you are annoying
Hey! How are you speaking? Su Laoda is the adopted son just received by Third Master!
"Have Ji Gang and Li Huai made their arrangements?" Su Xin inquired
Although it is said to be a move, there really isn't much to move from Su Xin's original home
Saying this, Ji Gang went to chase after Li Huai
As soon as he swallowed it, Su Xin immediately felt a warm current swirling within his dantian
Xin'er immediately blushed deeply.
Huang Bingcheng muttered disdainfully: "What are you showing off for? Do you think you're impressive just because you can fight?"
In a gang, it is not comparable to a sect; as long as those in higher positions do not oppose it, usurping the leader's position is not a big deal.
In just one day, he transformed from a member of the gang who had killed the boss and faced an uncertain future into the youngest underboss in the Flying Eagle Gang, the adopted son of Master Hu San
The middle-aged scholar was startled by the coldness in Master Tiger's gaze; when it came to some past secrets of the Flying Eagle Gang, he dared not listen any further
But do you think that the more than ten who died were killed in gang fights?
Harnessing the powerful true energy brought by this Qi Nourishing Pill, Su Xin swiftly began to impact the first acupoint within his body
Do I still have my own room
Before Su Xinyu's wings are fully developed, it is essential to put in sufficient effort to maintain appearances
Creak!
I just told that kid Su Xin that our Flying Eagle Gang started with more than 30 members, but over the years, only a dozen of us old fellows remain
As Master Hu San said, the most important thing for a martial artist in the postnatal stage is to refine their own acupoints
Afraid? I am afraid that he will not become another Chen Dao!
There are countless vast and powerful skills within it. If he is still trapped in the postnatal realm, then there is no need to continue; he might as well hang himself with a strand of hair
Look at Ji Gang, who holds the same position yet is much more humble. Unlike that Li Huai, who carries himself with an air of superiority as if he is the most important person.
Huang Bingcheng wore a fawning smile, and he was now quite in awe of this leader
Opening just one acupoint can bring such a significant change to Su Xin. He is very much looking forward to the level of strength his vital energy and blood will reach after he achieves the Great Perfection in two days, having refined one hundred and eight acupoints.
The Qi-nourishing Pill is currently stored in the system by Su Xin, and now is not the time to consume it
Having spoken, Li Huai unexpectedly turned and left, showing no regard for Su Xin whatsoever
As soon as Su Xin stepped into the Happy Forest, the voice of the system echoed in his mind
As long as I am alive and well, with the influence I have accumulated over the years, I can still help him suppress the elders within the faction, allowing him to smoothly take over the power in my hands. Once he ascends to a higher position, he will also gain the attention of the young master. Therefore, not only will he not betray me, but he will also show me proper filial piety.
The human body has one hundred and eight acupoints, which correspond to the numbers of the heavenly and earthly forces.
What happened? Upon seeing Xin'er walk in, Su Xin retracted his practicing posture
When she was young, her mother had to work to supplement the family income, so it was Su Xin who took care of her. Therefore, whenever she misbehaved, Su Xin would tease her about wetting the bed when she was a child
Huang Bingcheng scratched his head and said: "I have indeed heard of him. This Li Huai is the number one enforcer under Tiger San Ye. Although he has only recently come to prominence in the past few years, he is known in our Flying Eagle Gang for his ruthless methods and fearless demeanor.
After Su Xin walked out, a middle-aged man in his forties, dressed like a scholar, emerged from behind the screen and exclaimed: "This young man is truly extraordinary; his cunning is indeed terrifying. He must be no more than twenty years old, right? Third Master, can you really trust him with the Pleasure Forest? Aren't you afraid he will become another Chen Dao?"
The door was pushed open, and Xin'er timidly walked in
Although these two individuals are nominally following Su Xin, they are fundamentally under the influence of Master Hu San
Su Xiner pursed her lips, her eyes glistening with tears, and said: "The bracelet is not lost. I saw my brother get hurt earlier and wanted to steal some medicine from the pharmacy to bring back, but I was caught by the old shopkeeper.
In the past, Su Xin's home had only one room and one bed, and of course, Xin Er slept together with Su Xin
Su Xin gently rubbed her head and said softly, "Xin'er, don't be afraid. Tell your brother where the bracelet went. Did you lose it?"
It is not that Su Xin does not want to give more, but in a slum like Changlefang, having money itself is a kind of sin
Having settled Xin'er, Su Xin also fell asleep
Gaining the recognition of Master Hu San signifies that Su Xin has firmly established his position within the Flying Eagle Gang
At this moment, outside the gate of Master Hu San's residence, Su Xin clasped his fists towards Ji Gang and Li Huai, saying: "It is my honor, Su Xin, to have both of you come to assist me. From now on, we shall all be brothers."
