“Right, this afternoon I’ll send someone to the tailor’s shop, find a tailor to make two decent outfits for Jiu Si. The ceremony is in two days, and there will be a lot of people attending. We can’t afford to be negligent.”
Su Yunjin said, “Exactly, I was actually planning to ask my sister to find me a tailor. I can manage to make a plain coarse cloth garment myself, but I’m afraid I can’t make presentable clothes.”
Upon hearing this, Chen Jie said, “About that, I have other things to do this afternoon. Do I need to be present for the tailoring?”
Third Miss Hua replied, “Who else would we be making the clothes for if not for you to wear? Free up some time in the afternoon to get measured by the tailor.”
“Then Xiao Hu, in a while, you send two people to tell Zhou Chu to take back control of Nan Lake, Yongchang Street, and the North Mountain Iron Mine right away. If they encounter any trouble, notify me immediately.”
“Alright, I’ll arrange it right away.”
Upon hearing this, Xiao Hu promptly went to arrange for people to inform Zhou Chu.
Zhou Chu had been waiting at the White Tiger Hall. Upon hearing the message, he immediately said to his men, “Let’s go, take back what belongs to us!”
“Alright!”
His brothers were wildly excited upon hearing the order.
Nan Lake!
Just yesterday, the handover took place, and now the second handover was underway.
The young manager of Nan Lake, leading two staff who were swindled away the last time, as well as over a hundred disciples of White Tiger Hall, approached cheerfully.
Upon seeing Tang Ziyue, they greeted, “Mr. Tang!”
Tang Ziyue looked at the manager and said, “You’ve arrived quite quickly.”
“Not daring to keep you waiting, sir. These past days, you’ve been troubled with taking care of this mess; truly, you have worked hard.”
The manager said cheerily, “From now on, let us take over such troublesome tasks.”
Tang Ziyue looked at the manager and said, “Are you mocking me?”
The manager replied, “Oh my, I wouldn’t dare, Mr. Tang. You’re scaring me to death. What status do I have to mock you? I’m just happy for you, sir. Nan Lake is such a big mess; how would you clean it up!”
Hearing this, Tang Ziyue said, “Hehe, is that so? Very well.”
“Here are the roster and the account books for you to check. Oh, and there’s also one hundred silver taels on the table, which is yesterday’s earnings. I personally covered the shortfall.” seaʀᴄh thё nôvelFire.net website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.
The manager said, “Mr. Tang, you are so generous. I will be sure to report this to the Hall Master to properly thank you.”
Tang Ziyue looked at him and said, “Okay, that will be all for today. We’re leaving.”
Saying this, Tang Ziyue, followed by a group of guards armed with swords and sabers, walked away. Just then, they suddenly heard the shouts from the one hundred White Tiger Hall disciples saying, “Haha… if it’s not yours, don’t covet it. Get lost, get lost, get lost!”
“Leave, hurry up and leave, you dare to covet what belongs to White Tiger Hall, pah!”
“Off with you, off with you~”
The group of brothers were making a ruckus. Hearing this, the leader beside Tang Ziyue was furious and about to draw his sword.
Unexpectedly, at this moment, those one hundred White Tiger Hall disciples were also gripping their sword hilts.
Seeing this scene, Tang Ziyue said, “Sheathe your swords, let’s go.”
“Hall Master!”
The leader shouted angrily, but Tang Ziyue simply said, “If you don’t want to die, just leave. The current White Tiger Hall is led by a true tiger.”
Having said this, he left with a leader who was clearly resentful.
At this time, Chen Jiusi’s influence was soaring. To confront him would be to seek death; only fools would do such a thing…
Meanwhile, on Yongchang Street.
All the pedestrians on the street were terrified and hid in the distance as they saw two groups confronting each other, each numbering over a hundred people, armed with various swords, spears, clubs, and staffs.
One group was led by Zhou Chu, and the other by a fierce-looking man.
His most noticeable feature was a full beard on his face, which he had scratched and straightened back, making it look like a tiger’s whiskers.
Indeed, he was Qin Ying’s younger brother, Qin Hu.
He was also one of the Eagle, Tiger, and Leopard among the Thirteen Grand Protectors, and the weakest.
When he broke through to the Energy Transformation stage, he and the Third Brother, Qin Bao, both used a Spirit Transformation Pill, a process that could lead to two outcomes: either total failure or complete success. Yet, the two of them ended up in a middle ground.
They had succeeded, but there were issues with their Inner Power Gang, rendering them half-baked at Energy Transformation.
They could only be at the bottom among those at the Energy Transformation level, but the two did have a combination move that, when used, could raise their actual strength to that of Energy Transformation.
Thus, in reality, the two brothers occupied one spot among the Thirteen Grand Protectors.
Nan Batian, Beilao Liu, the Thirteen Grand Protectors, beggar, constable, oil seller, Ghost Hand, scholar, Red Face, blacksmith, fisherman, Blind fortune-teller, Eagle, Tiger, and Leopard.
Count them up, does that not make fourteen people?
The Thirteen Grand Protectors being fourteen people, doesn’t that seem strange?
Exactly, the issue lies with Tiger and Leopard, these two brothers. Because they are somewhat half-baked at Energy Transformation, the two share one title.
At this point, it was Qin Hu standing toe-to-toe with Zhou Chu.
When Qin Ying brought up today’s situation, Qin Hu refused to accept it. After all, he had seized Yongchang Street for himself, and he had seen its profits. How could he just return such a treasure bowl that easily?
By what right? He wouldn’t return it. Yongchang Street belonged to his Eagle Hall!
Qin Ying said, “It’s the Gang Leader’s order.”
Only to be countered by Qin Hu saying, “Big brother, why are you being so timid? It’s just Chen Jiusi alone, wouldn’t the three of us, Eagle, Tiger, and Leopard, be afraid of him? Anyways, I don’t care, I just won’t give it back.”
Saying this, Qin Hu led his men to Yongchang Street, openly opposing the law with violence!
At this time, Qin Hu and his men stood across the main street, and all the merchants were terrified, quickly shuttering their stores, fearing they’d get involved in trouble.
