Chapter 40: Visit
"Senior Brother, do you know the Yanluo Gang?" After returning to the martial arts gym, Qin Ziling found Zheng Xinghan privately and asked in a low voice.
"Yanluo Gang?" Zheng Xinghan frowned slightly and said, "I've heard of it. It's a small gang. The leader is Yan Kui. He has some skills and is a ruthless man. It seems that Qulin Street is his territory. By the way, I remember that the 'Huayun' powder and rouge shop is also on Qulin Street. Why, Yan Kui's asking price is too high. Does the owner of 'Huayun' want you to come out and talk?"
"Yeah." Qin Ziling nodded, then asked, "Does Yan Kui have any backers?"
"Backstage?" Zheng Xinghan seemed to have heard something funny. He smiled and then said, "This Fangliao Outer City XC District is not big, but it is definitely not small. There are very few powerful martial artists, but there are many martial artists like me who are at the iron level. Yan Kui is just a martial artist at the cowhide level. If there is no one behind him, how can he pull together a group of rabble to do a business without capital in the market?"
"Then who is the big shot behind him? If we kill him, will the big shot take action?" Qin Ziling asked with a frown.
"Big shot?" Zheng Xinghan smiled noncommittally and said, "You think too much. There is a saying that goes, when the gods fight, the little devils suffer. In Taoism, when the big shots at the top quarrel, they are usually fine, but the people below suffer. Because at their level, they usually won't fight themselves unless it's a dispute over key interests or a life-and-death feud. If they have to fight, they will let the people below do it, and they will represent their own victory or defeat and the ownership of the interests."
“Think about it, even when they have disputes over their own interests, they usually don't take action themselves, but let the little guys below them fight. Do you think the big guys behind the scenes will take action for the life and death of a small gang like Yan Kui? Of course, there are rules for this. The other party cannot bully the weak for no reason. Otherwise, if our Master Zuo always causes trouble for those small gangs, wouldn't it be a mess?” Zheng Xinghan tried to lower his voice when he said the latter.
"So that's how it is." Qin Ziling 's brows relaxed and he nodded.
In fact, with his current abilities, only powerful martial artists can make him feel afraid.
Even if the rest of them encounter martial artists at the Iron Plate level, Qin Ziling is confident that he can contend with them or even defeat them based on his own martial arts skills.
And Yan Kui is just a veteran martial artist of the upper level!
"As far as I know, Yan Kui's Yanluo Gang should have registered their name in Youlong Dean. Humph, Youlong Dean's Youlong Hand Jiang Yue is different from Zuo Shi. He will take any money he can. But our Hantie Dean is not easy to mess with in the XC area. Since the owner of the 'Hua Yun' powder and rouge shop asked you to come forward, Yan Kui will give you some face. You go and talk first. If you really can't come to an agreement, don't fight. At most, I will accompany you, and then you can solve it with fists. If I accompany you from the beginning, it would be suspected of bullying the weak." Zheng Xinghan said.
"Thank you, senior brother. I understand. Then I will practice martial arts first." Qin Ziling nodded.
On this day, Qin Ziling left the martial arts gym an hour earlier than usual.
Before leaving the martial arts gym, he took the Xuanhan Iron Chicken secret pills and ten portions of medicine powder from Zheng Xinghan.
As for Qin Ziling's early departure, everyone thought that he deliberately wanted to avoid Nangong Yue's invitation. They all shook their heads privately, thinking that he would suffer a lot in the future.
Only Zheng Xinghan knew that Qin Ziling should go to negotiate with Yan Kui of the Yanluo Gang.
The Yanluo Gang’s headquarters is in Xianhefang.
In the compound, Yan Kui was practicing boxing with a few of his younger brothers with his bare upper body.
Yan Kui was a tall and burly man, with muscles bulging like lumps of iron. Every punch he threw was powerful. Not only that, his steps were also very agile. In just a few moves, he knocked down all the younger brothers who were attacking him.
"A bunch of useless things!" Yan Kui cursed and kicked away the guy lying on the ground holding his stomach, then took the towel handed to him by a younger brother and wiped the sweat off his body.
"Boss, I heard that Qin Ziling went to Qulin Street today." A handsome man waving a paper fan came forward and said.
The man's name is Yi Xuan, and he is the chief military advisor of the Yanluo Gang.
"Isn't he just a mediocre person who has practiced for nearly three years before breaking through to the membrane? What's the point of him going there?" Yan Kui said.
"That's true, but Qin Ziling has Dean Han Tie standing behind him after all, and we were violating the rules in this matter. If he really comes to us, you have to have an explanation, boss!" Yi Xuan said, closing the paper fan in his hand.
"Bullshit, he has Dean Hantie behind him, but don't I have anyone behind me? Besides, who knows we were the ones who did those things?" Yan Kui said indifferently.
"What I mean is, harmony brings wealth. In this matter, we just need to hold on to the Yunlan siblings. We should give Qin Ziling some face. After a few rounds of trouble, he will understand that he cannot get involved in this matter and will naturally withdraw. But if we are too disrespectful to them and cause dissatisfaction among the other inner court disciples of Hantie Academy, it will not be good. After all, they are real inner court disciples of Hantie Academy, and we just paid to put our names on the list in Youlong Academy." Military advisor Yi Xuan suggested.
"What you said makes sense. I'll give him some face. If he knows what's good for him, it's fine. If not, I'll just have some fun with him." Yan Kui said.
As soon as Yan Kui finished speaking, a gatekeeper came in to report that Qin Ziling, the head of Hantie Academy, wanted to see him.
"Go and invite him in." Yan Kui ordered, and then shouted to the group of people in the yard: "Everyone, cheer up!"
"Yes, boss!" Everyone responded, and then stood up straight, exuding a fierce aura.
Yan Kui nodded with satisfaction, then put on his clothes and sat on the gang leader's throne in the hall.
Soon, Qin Ziling, wearing a black training suit, walked in.
Qin Ziling is over 1.8 meters tall, which is considered tall and strong among ordinary people, but he is still inferior to Yan Kui, who is 1.9 meters tall and has a broad back, bulging muscles, and is much inferior.
Yan Kui sat high in the seat, his blood surging, his eyes sparkling, and the scar on his face twitched from time to time, giving people a strong sense of oppression.
In contrast, Qin Ziling is quite handsome, and his body appears well-proportioned and strong but not exaggerated or deformed because of being hammered day and night by the bronze corpse. His blood and energy are stable and subtle, and he does not give people a sense of oppression. In fact, if he were not wearing a training suit, he would look more like a scholar.
"I wonder what business Brother Qin has that has brought you to my small Yanluo Gang today?" Seeing Qin Ziling's slender figure, Yan Kui couldn't help but reveal a hint of disdain in his eyes, but he still stood up and bowed and said.
