Chapter 10: Junior Sister

Hu Tailai was left out locally, and Sister Pili was not having it: "Sisters, that sounds a bit harsh, why have we become a chaotic mess?"

Da Wu suddenly threw off his outer garment, revealing his muscular and sinewy arms, his eyes filled with vitality. He exclaimed: "Why say so much to them, Senior Brother? Hitting our Tiger-Crane-Snake style dogs is the same as hitting our Tiger-Crane-Snake style people!"

The middle-aged man seemed to take Duan Qingqing's words lightly, and waved his hand at Da Wu, saying: "Continue!"

In the center of the arena, two characters stood tall and imposing, seemingly on the verge of a confrontation. Suddenly, Duan Qingqing spoke up in a crisp voice: "Hold on! This is the territory of our Iron Palm Gang. If that Tiger Crane whatever sect is looking for trouble, they should not cause a disturbance here. Since you are here, I will entertain you. We cannot let others say that our Iron Palm Gang is unreasonable, allowing outsiders to bully our friends in our own home."

"Come here!" The young man by the iron tower reached out and pulled Niu Bao out of the line, loudly asking Wang Xiaojun, "Do you know this person?"

Hmm? Duan Qingqing looked at Wang Xiaojun with a skeptical gaze

Wang Xiaojun noticed Hu Tailai's eyes shining and whispered, "Don't listen to his nonsense, this is someone who truly comes to stir up trouble. Can you handle it?"

Duan Qingqing sneered, "This girl is right. It is a waste of emotions for me to get angry at you. I should find the real culprit—Wang Xiaojun. Should I invite my master back to arbitrate?"

The middle-aged man said: "Who might you be, Your Excellency?"

Wang Xiaojun said cheerfully: "I know him; as for how I know him, you can ask him yourself. I happen to have a few witnesses here as well, and if he says anything incorrect, I will have them provide you with additional information."

Wang Xiaojun understood clearly that this middle-aged man always avoided the main issues. This matter probably could not be resolved easily. Seeing that the other party was aggressive, he believed that they would not be as easy to deal with as ordinary thugs. Currently, all present were young girls, and if a fight broke out, it would surely become chaotic.

The floral shirt smiled and said: "It's all good, we are practitioners of the Tiger-Crane Snake Style, and although we are both local and have never met the Iron Palm Gang, we are not strangers to each other. It turns out my dog died at the hands of a friend of a friend—don't get me wrong, we are not here to seek vengeance, but rather to take this opportunity to get to know fellow practitioners, which I consider a fateful encounter."

Are you at odds with the dog? Hehe

I am Hu Tailai, a disciple of the Black Tiger Fist. The situation yesterday was as follows, at that time ... ...

Hu Tailai said: "But he clearly stated ... ... "

Wang Xiaojun only felt a headache; he understood Duan Qingqing's temperament the best. She was truly a person who could not tolerate any sand in her eyes, a real "Thunder Sister." It was a sheer waste to bestow such a good nickname upon Ou Xue. This junior sister would only call him "Second Senior Brother" when she was in a good mood; if she was unhappy, she would simply call him "Wang Xiaojun," and when she got angry, it would escalate to "the one with the surname Wang." By this measure, she had not yet gone berserk

Hu Tailai stepped forward and clasped his fists, saying: "It was I who killed him"

Wang Xiaojun said with a wry smile, "Why does this little aunt have time today..." Before he could finish his sentence, the young lady had already entered the courtyard. When she saw a large group of people in the yard, a layer of displeasure appeared on her delicate face. Wang Xiaojun forced a smile and said, "Junior Sister, are you not busy today?" This young lady was none other than Duan Qingqing, the youngest disciple of the Iron Palm Gang and Wang Xiaojun's junior sister.

"Don't be naive. Do you really need to bring over a dozen people to make friends? Just wait for them to gang up on you!" Duan Qingqing glanced at Wang Xiaojun, who had said this, and remarked, "At least you're not foolish!"

Hu Tailai hurriedly stood up and cupped his fists, saying: "I am Hu Tailai, a disciple of the Black Tiger Fist. These are my newly accepted apprentices—" Before he could finish his sentence, Duan Qingqing had already shouted: "Wang Xiaojun, you are becoming more and more outrageous! I wouldn't say anything if you turned the Iron Palm Gang into a mahjong parlor, but now you have made this place a complete mess!"

Wang Xiaojun and Hu Tailai exchanged a glance, and instantly understood each other; they had long known that Niu Bao was not a good person, but they did not expect him to seek revenge so quickly.

Nonsense, of course not

Pili Jie excitedly shouted while tugging at the collar of the blue-haired person: "On our first day of apprenticeship, we get to see our master compete with others!"

Wang Xiaojun pleaded, "We are all friends, could you please give me some face?"

Hu Tailai also perceived the other party's intention and simply said: "It seems we are both from the same circle; may I ask how you would like to be addressed?"

The middle-aged man interrupted Hu Tailai and pretended to look around, saying: "Isn't this the Iron Palm Gang? Why are there people from other sects here?"

Do not concern yourself with who I am, just know that I am a member of the Iron Palm Gang

Sister Pili and Blue Hair rushed forward and said: "This bastard blocked the road and robbed us, and he still wants to take advantage of us!"

Wang Xiaojun said with a wry smile, "Why do you always bring up the wrong topic?"

Before Wang Xiaojun could say anything, Duan Qingqing said: "He is he, and I am I. The people of our Iron Palm Gang do not speak lightly. Since he has promised you, you should behave yourself."

A youth resembling an iron tower stepped aside, revealing a thin middle-aged man in a floral shirt. This man, around forty years old, sported a pair of small mustaches. He fixed his gaze on Hu Tailai and smirked, "Is this the person?" Behind him, a lewd young man trembled and replied, "It's him." It was indeed Niu Bao, who had previously harassed Sister Pili.

Tang Sisi could not help but ask curiously, "Who is your master's uncle?"

Wang Xiaojun raised his hand and said, "She is truly someone I found, and we are both innocent!"

The middle-aged man coldly said: "Who might you be?"

Tang Sisi asked: "How does your father address your grandfather?"

In a floral shirt, the middle-aged man suddenly interjected, saying: "If my cousin has offended anyone, I will apologize on his behalf. I just want to ask, who killed my dog?"

Indeed, that middle-aged man with a small mustache patted the shoulder of the iron-tower man and said: "Since we are fellow practitioners of the martial arts, we should not miss this opportunity to meet. This is my junior apprentice, Wu Jingnian, and everyone calls him Da Wu. How about we let him spar with this brother Hu?"

Duan Qingqing glared at Tang Sisi and said, "While others are practicing martial arts, why aren't you practicing?"

"Who is your sister?" Duan Qingqing glanced at her, completely disregarding her. The two girls were of similar age, yet Duan Qingqing exuded an air of indifference that seemed to look down on everything.

Chen Jing suddenly said: "This sister, my master is friends with your senior brother. We are teaching here and do not know if we have offended you in any way. Would it not be inappropriate for you to say that we are creating a chaotic environment without understanding the situation?"

Duan Qingqing stamped her foot in anger and fell silent.

Wang Xiaojun wondered, "What brings you all here?"

Hu Tailai nodded and said, "This statement is clear enough; I have no objections"

At that moment, the door was kicked open, and at the forefront was a young man resembling an iron tower. Following him, about ten others filed in, all dressed neatly, clearly apprentices from the martial arts community. They entered the courtyard, took positions on either side without saying a word, and glared angrily at Wang Xiaojun and Hu Tailai.

Da Wu felt a sense of loss for words and said sternly: "No nonsense, if you lose, you will have to bow and admit your mistake to us, and compensate according to the market price!"

Of course, one must also call him father, as this reflects a clear distinction between public and private matters

Niu Bao clearly did not expect that Pili Jie and Lan Mao were also present, leaving him feeling flustered and unable to speak coherently.

This sentence provoked a series of delicate giggles from the young ladies present, and even the three elderly gentlemen, Zhang, Wang, and Li, exchanged knowing smiles. These three old men had moved their chairs to sit in a row under the eaves the moment the door was kicked open

Tang Sisi said calmly: "I am not from the Black Tiger Gate; I am merely a woman with no way out. Your senior brother took me in, and if you find me displeasing, I will leave right now"

Wang Xiaojun whispered: "It is my father; both my grandfather and my father learned their skills from my great-grandfather, so in the gang, they are considered brothers in the art."

Hu Tailai said uneasily: "Since there are those in your organization who oppose, we can simply change the location in the future"

Could it be a fraudster engaging in deception?

Duan Qingqing said to Tang Sisi: "Since it has nothing to do with you, just stay put!" She is indeed very clear about her likes and dislikes

Blue-haired one expressed concern: "Master won't lose, will he?"

Now, Pili Jie is really furious: "If you have the ability, challenge my master one-on-one!"

Wang Xiaojun pointed at him and said: "Clarify, are you humans or dogs?"

Old Wang quietly played a card into the pile, saying: "It seems that the young girl has still given us some face—at least we were not in a chaotic state before."

Duan Qingqing stared at Hu Tailai and said, "Why have I never heard of your Black Tiger Fist before?"

Hu Tailai smiled at Duan Qingqing and said, "Sister, rest assured, I am not someone who can be easily bullied." Wang Xiaojun whispered, "Junior sister, even if you want to cause trouble, you must consider our gang rules; no one other than the gang leader is allowed to act recklessly."

Duan Qingqing placed the items on the steps, glared at Wang Xiaojun, and said: "Come and see if you are dead! What is the situation with these people?"

Hu Tailai replied in a serious and methodical manner: "Small sect, not well-known"

The Thunder Sister angrily declared: "My master can kill a Tibetan mastiff with a single punch!"

Upon hearing this sound, the three old men under the eaves changed their expressions drastically, quickly fleeing back into the house, slamming the door shut with great force, and starting to play silent mahjong...
