Chapter 0010: The Threat in the Shadows

This is truly an excessive deception

In the small training arena, Lin Sha earnestly practiced the Hongmen martial arts he had learned, as well as the unique technique of his affordable master, the Tiger-Crane Double Form Fist. He carefully savored the intricacies within, feeling a sense of progress that brought a satisfied smile to his face

The leader of the Shahe gang suddenly shouted fiercely, his face twisted in a way that seemed as if he were about to devour someone.

This ... ... is the time to pay a proper visit!

Lin Sha smiled mischievously and gave a knowing smile to Ya Ca Su, hinting: "In fact, the master is quite easy to handle, as long as you don't make major mistakes and have a legitimate reason..."

In fact, the leader of the Shahe Gang not only endured this grievance but also sternly warned his unruly subordinates, who had grown accustomed to lawlessness, not to provoke Baozhilin recklessly

... ...

Huang Feihong hesitated for a moment, but ultimately, under Lin Sha's repeated urging, he reluctantly agreed. He took some silver and fetched some calming medicine before hurriedly leaving, no longer having the inclination or time to lecture Lin Sha.

Speaking of this, the ruffian kneeling in the center of the hall had an indignant expression. He lifted his shirt to reveal his bony chest, crying and wailing with tears and snot: "Boss, it doesn't matter that I was humiliated, but that kid keeps looking down on our Shahe Gang..."

Lin, Lin, Lin Sha, you, you, you are too bad, even the master dares to deceive!" Ya Ca Su adjusted his glasses on the bridge of his nose, a mischievous smile on his face as he stammered.

Hehe, Aunt Thirteen was startled, and I suppose the one most annoyed in her heart is Master!

Indeed, it is a lackey of the Shahe Gang

Say

In the main hall of the Shahe Gang's meeting place, a middle-aged burly man with a fierce expression sat firmly in the main seat, his face displaying a menacing glare as he furrowed his brows in silence

Lin Sha smiled gently, revealing two rows of gleaming white teeth. She waved her hand and said with a smile: "Yacasu, I am going to practice martial arts now, so please do not disturb me!"

The group of familiar subordinates in the hall were once again taken aback, not expecting the leader to be so furious, and wondering how he could still endure such indignation

A young man, covered in dirt and with a defiant expression, knelt in the center of the hall, crying and wailing with snot and tears. At the same time, he did not forget to lift his shirt to reveal a row of bruises on his chest, proving that he had indeed suffered injustice

It is precisely a person from Baozhilin, a disciple of Huang Feihong, and the leader must certainly advocate for me

He picked up a towel to wipe the sweat off his body, then took a big gulp of warm tea from the large teapot. He stood on the bluestone ground of the small training area, calming his mind and settling into a horse stance. After his strength was mostly restored, he began to move his limbs and started the warm-up exercises for practicing Sanda.

The brash man shivered in fear, no longer daring to provoke the leader's patience, and spoke with remarkable fluency.

... ...

The leader of the Shahe gang interrupted the incessant chatter of his underling with a furious shout, his already fierce face contorting further into a menacing grimace. He casually swept a fine porcelain teacup off the coffee table, and with a loud "crash," the porcelain shattered, warm tea splattering everywhere. The large hall fell into a deathly silence, the atmosphere reaching an extreme tension.

So how did you handle it, Asha

Lin Shazheng nodded and then said with a light laugh: "Not paying attention while walking, getting knocked down by Thirteenth Aunt on her bicycle, and not even getting hurt, yet he dares to demand twenty taels of silver!"

The leader of the Shahe gang did not explode in anger as the weeping underlings had imagined; instead, he calmly inquired.

The ruffian kneeling in the center of the hall had his eyes darting around, his face filled with hesitation and a look as if he wanted to say something but held back, and the fear evident on his face was clear even to a fool

Lin, Lin, Lin Sha, you, you, you have offended Shahe, the Shahe Gang, from now on, you must be cautious in your actions! Yacasu did not want to discuss the gossip about the master, so he had to change the subject and give a warning.

He said, he said...

The leader of the Kesha River gang, however, has a good relationship with the authorities in Foshan, or perhaps it is more appropriate to say they collude with each other. How can ordinary civilians possibly stand against the collusion between officials and bandits?

I am more aware of this than you are

Hmph, what a bold statement

Baozhilin? Huang Feihong?

Shahe Gang

In the Baozhilin Hall, Huang Feihong responded with some surprise.

What left the kneeling subordinate utterly astonished once again was that the usually hot-tempered and self-important gang leader only had an extremely grim expression on his face, yet did not erupt in a fit of rage. His tone remained calm as he continued to ask: "How much did that kid lose you this time?"

What other solutions are available

Huang Feihong raised his eyebrows slightly, asking with a mix of seriousness and curiosity

Lin Shabai rolled her eyes and lightly shook her head, laughing as she displayed an exasperated expression of "You don't understand, you don't understand"

The leader of the Shahe Gang gritted his teeth, the veins on his forehead bulging, his eyes filled with ferocity akin to a wounded beast, and his gaze turned blood-red with intense malevolence: "When the opportunity arises in the future, the humiliation I suffered today will be repaid by the Shahe Gang a hundredfold!"

His true journey in martial arts began when he joined the martial arts club in university, where he practiced fast-paced styles such as Sanda. After graduating from university, due to significant changes in his family circumstances, he had no choice but to participate in underground boxing matches to raise funds, and his skills advanced rapidly through the thrilling experiences of real combat.

Enough

Seeing the master Huang Feihong's expression turn stern, he hurriedly said, "Master, today Auntie Thirteen was quite startled; why not go and pay her a visit?"

However, in the early stages, Sanda is quite proficient in practical combat, especially since he had already reached the peak of Mingjin in his previous life. It is not very difficult for him to re-engage and ascend to the realm of Mingjin again

Yes, yes, yes, I said, I said, that kid said what about the Shahe Gang, they are not to be trifled with either at Baozhilin

Hehe

Lin Sha spread his hands nonchalantly and said, "I will take that guy to a secluded spot on the street, explain the facts and reason with him, and then compensate him with one or two silver coins for his medical expenses. The matter will naturally be resolved easily"

Huang Feihong had heard much about the misdeeds of the Shahe Gang before, and he was often invited by the local gentry of Foshan to help mediate disputes with the Shahe Gang. Unexpectedly, this time the members of the Shahe Gang actually set their sights on Thirteenth Aunt

No matter how good-natured and gentle he is, when the woman he admires is harassed, he cannot help but feel an unnamed anger rise within him

Sanda is purely an external martial art, and in terms of health maintenance and regulating bodily functions, it is naturally less effective than internal martial arts. As one progresses, it becomes increasingly difficult to advance in Sanda, whereas the deeper one practices internal martial arts, the more formidable one becomes

... ...

Ten copper coins are just enough to buy a small bottle of safflower oil

Lin, Lin, Lin Sha, you are truly impressive. With just a few words, you managed to persuade the master to leave!" Once Lin Sha returned to the courtyard, Ya Ca Su hurriedly put down the medical book in his hands, raised his thumb in admiration, and stammered.

The Shahe Gang is a notoriously infamous gang in Foshan, known for its habitual extortion and coercion, forcing individuals into prostitution, operating smokehouses, and setting up gambling dens, which have led countless families to ruin, causing significant public outrage

Speaking of Lin Sha's past life martial arts experiences, there is indeed a certain legendary quality to them

What did that kid say

If we were to discuss it, Lin Sha in his previous life was undoubtedly a true martial arts genius
