Hide in The Immortal Cultivation World, Strike Hard in the Martial World-Chapter 46 - 43: Why are you working so hard for just a few ounces of silver a month?
After Chen Yi and Chen Ran arrived on the boat, they began living discreetly in some reed marshes, as planned. Without a fixed residence, their safety was greatly improved.
This way, Chen Yi no longer had any worries,
He could now directly hide in another world and not return until the turmoil was over.
But considering the fact that he still had to learn the Anjin of Iron Wire Fist, he decided to stay among the general martial artists for a while and run at the first hint of danger.
After all, if they ended up winning, wouldn't he get some credit?
Anyway, top Huajin experts rarely made a move; they were more of a strategic deterrent.
Beyond Huajin, Chen Yi also had enough power to fight Anjin, at least when escaping, whether in water or on land. With the assistance of another world, his safety was 100% assured.
...
Next, Chen Yi and his senior brothers went to another village. Among them was an iron smith in his thirties with a scraggly beard.
After being persuaded twice by the senior brother and still refusing to rise to the occasion, his right fist was shattered by the grand master's palm, rendering his martial arts useless:
"Alright, if the master has taught you for a day, then he is your patriarch for life. Now that the martial arts school is in trouble, those who refuse to step up will have their arms crippled!
Tie him up and take him to the next few villages. Let's see who is still not willing to come!"
Chen Yi stayed among the crowd, staying low-key without intervening. He watched as the iron smith's hands were broken. He didn't show any emotion, but deep inside, he once again felt alienated from the martial arts school.
Even if the martial arts school survived afterwards, it no longer seemed like a place he could stay long term. He needed to find a place to settle down to provide a safe environment for his mother and sister, so he could fully devote himself to his study of martial arts and physical training.
As expected, after dragging the crippled iron smith to several villages, the older disciples also agreed to go reluctantly, boarding the senior brother's ship.
The strength of these people ranged from cowhide to stone skin, and there was even one with an iron skin.
After recruiting 13 members back to the martial arts school with the senior brother, they received high praise from the headmaster-
The headmaster praised them and promised to pass on the heritage of Anjin, especially to the disciples with iron and stone skin, being very enthusiastic.
He empathized with them and painted a rosy picture of the future, which made the disciples feel passionate and eager to achieve great things for their future.
Chen Yi remained inconspicuous throughout,
While Qi Ying and Yun Hu, who agreed to fight for the martial arts school and had the opportunity to become formal disciples, were both excited for him.
Junior Brother Chen has finally understood!
That night, Chen Yi was assigned to watch over a hook rack.
It was a two-story building with more than a dozen rooms on the second floor, each covered with a red cloth.
Chen Yi sat in the hall on the first floor, with a special table and chair. On it were tea and peanuts,
which he ate casually.
Bang!
Suddenly, a burly man came in. The man was not tall, but his muscles were as strong as iron gall, especially the large muscles on his chest and back, which were extremely strong.
"Come! Call the prettiest girl here for me. I want two!"
The man bellowed as soon as he entered.
The madam behind him saw him and her face changed immediately,
How could he come back again?
In the large dormitory at the back of the first floor where more than 20 girls lived, a few girls who were waiting for business sneaked a look from behind the curtain and turned pale.
"This man is back again. He has been here two days in a row. Sister Hua and Xiao Rou can't even get out of bed. The doctor said they won't be able to receive customers for a month."
"Oh my, what should we do?"
All the girls in the back shrank back, none of them daring to come out to receive guests.
The madam also forced a smile:
"Sir, you're here. The thing is, both of our prettiest girls are healing in bed.
The other girls are all upstairs receiving guests. How about you go check another place?"
Bang!
The iron gall man's fist hit the wooden table at the door, immediately leaving a hole on the table,
"No way! If you guys don't make me happy today, I, Ma Tie, will trash this place!"
Seeing the table, the madam's face changed again. She turned to Chen Yi, "Master Chen, what do you think?"
Chen Yi knew what was going on. When the man named Ma Tie threw his punch just now, there was a fleeting dark grey on his fist.
He was a stone skin expert, but his martial arts skills might not be only in his fist. His robust upper body was likely where his true strength lay.
This man's offensive strength was unpredictable, but his defensive strength was decidedly top-notch!
Chen Yi greeted him with a smile and a salute.
"This is Yi Chen from the Iron Fist Sect. I need to borrow you for a moment."
"Hmph, what bloody Iron Fist Sect, I'm Ma Tie from the Ma Zi Gang in Lakeside County. Kid, if you know what's good for you, move aside. If you want to fight, be careful your head doesn't crack open like this piece of wood!"
Ma Zi Gang? Where had he heard that before?
Right, those who tried to rob his boat were from the Ma Zi Gang, those linked with the Xu family.
He is a bad guy, Chen Yi labeled this man in his heart.
Then, still smiling, he said, "Brother Tie, come here. Let me talk to you."
He gently pulled Ma Tie outside,
"Hurry up and fart!"
"Brother Tie, it's like this,
You're here with a mission, and I'm here with a mission,"
Upon hearing this, Ma Tie unconsciously smiled, "Kid, you're sensible. Hehe, hahaha."
Although his mission wasn't that, as a man, how could he reject such flattery?
You see, Brother Tie, if you want to continue, I have a way. But after those two girls got hurt, the two prettiest girls left in the shop, one has syphilis and the other has gonorrhea.
I pulled you out to tell you that there is a trap here. Sir, you really need to be careful.
Can you resist this kind of thing?!"
Chen Yi's words made Ma Tie's face change, "Damn, that's happening?"
"Of course! You think about it, you've come here twice already and scored with two of the hottest girls. They can't not hold a grudge against you. These people who do this kind of work have all kinds of resources. If I didn't come out and persuade you, you would be in big trouble."
"Damn, that's too close. Thanks, little brother, your name is Yi Chen?"
That is indeed me. Brother Tie, it's like this, your task is what it is, and my task here is to keep an eye on things.
Both of us have jobs to do for our superiors, it's good if we do it well, but if we mess up, we'll get disciplined back home.
How about this, Brother Tie, for the next two days while I'm on duty, could you go next door instead?
When I'm off duty in a couple of days, you can come back here. But when picking a girl, you remember to keep your nose open, smell well, don't pick the ones that have a scent.
Here's a silver, you take it and go next door for a small drink to clear your mind, considered to be my treat."
"Hahaha, agreed. You're pretty interesting, kid. Okay, I'll come back a few days later."
Ma Tie laughed and agreed. As he turned around to leave, his face instantly became calm:
Hmph, this kid is afraid of dying. However, he's an interesting guy.
Let him off today, and when the big fight comes in a few days, I can use him.
We're all here to do a job, you do what you have to do,
It's a few silver pieces for a month, why should I risk my life?!
