Chapter 29

Tiger San and the high-ranking members of the Flying Eagle Gang had their thoughts correctly estimated by Su Xin. In the following month, Su Xin did not do anything out of line, so naturally, no one came to cause him trouble.

During this month, Su Xin's subordinates made rapid progress, each of them managing to unblock at least one to three acupoints in their internal cultivation.

Although not many, this significantly increased their strength. However, this also proved that there were not many among them with good martial arts talent.

The only one who could achieve something in martial arts, besides Li Hua who unblocked seventeen acupoints, was Li Qing.

Li Hua could cultivate such terrifying combat strength without internal cultivation, his talent was naturally beyond question. Li Qing also brought a pleasant surprise; in this month, he managed to unblock nine acupoints.

It should be noted that Li Qing had no martial arts foundation before. To reach this level now was already quite an achievement, so Su Xin decided to cultivate him as well.

After all, in future gang battles, it couldn't just rely on himself and Li Hua. There needed to be a few people who could stand on their own, and Li Qing was worth Su Xin's cultivation.

Now, Su Xin didn't need to specifically teach them internal cultivation every morning. After unblocking one acupoint, they could practice on their own.

In the afternoon, they started to engage in mutual combat instead of being continuously beaten by Su Xin.

When cultivation became a habit, there was no need for further supervision. Su Xin didn't even go to the hall for a whole day, only coming to take a look after dinner.

"Boss, you're here?" As soon as Su Xin stepped out, he saw Li Qing leading a few brothers patrolling the streets.

"Let's take a walk and see. By the way, where's Old Huang?" Su Xin asked while walking.

Li Qing replied, "Lord Huang went to deliver the silver to Tiger San. The bosses of all the shops have already voluntarily handed over this month's dividends."

A smile appeared on the corner of Su Xin's mouth. "Oh, they were so willing this time?"

Li Qing chuckled, "With the boss's authority, how could they not be willing? Either hand over the silver or their lives, any smart person knows what to choose."

"Sometimes people are just cheap, they only know to be afraid when they see blood."

Su Xin slowly walked, enjoying the night scenery of Kuaihuolin.

It was just getting dark, but the streets of Kuaihuolin were already bustling with people, much more lively than during the day.

The current Kuaihuolin truly lived up to its name. At least in Changning Prefecture, whenever someone heard of a fun place, their first thought was Kuaihuolin.

At this moment, a commotion came from behind Su Xin and his group. They turned around to see a young man dressed as a noble, holding a short knife, running quickly, scaring the crowd on the street to scatter to both sides.

Su Xin could see that this young noble did not have internal cultivation, but he was definitely a trained fighter, especially with excellent light body skills. If Su Xin didn't use his internal strength, he couldn't run as fast as him.

Seeing Su Xin and his group standing in the middle of the road without moving, the young noble immediately shouted, "Get out of my way!"

By the time he shouted, he was already in front of Su Xin and his group. Seeing that they still hadn't moved, a fierce look appeared in his eyes, and he swung his knife.

Li Qing coldly snorted and immediately stepped forward.

If dealing with such a minor character still required the boss to act, wouldn't that make them look useless?

The spiked short club that was originally hanging from his waist was now in Li Qing's hand. With a block, a push, and a pull, the young noble let out a惨叫, his short knife was directly pulled away, and his right hand was instantly covered in blood.

The other few gang members who followed Li Qing immediately acted, kicking the young noble to his knees and pressing the spear tips firmly against his neck.

Seeing Li Qing's actions, Su Xin nodded in approval. Not bad, Li Hua's month of training wasn't in vain.

Li Qing's actions were swift and decisive, with rich combat experience. Combined with his internal cultivation, his strength was also considerable. Compared to the elite of the War Hall, he probably only lacked the killing aura.

Behind the young noble, the owner of Zuiyue Building, Mr. Liu, led a few staff members with wooden clubs, panting as they ran over. Seeing the young noble pressed to the ground by Su Xin's subordinates, he burst into laughter.

"Damn! You little brat, you were still running? Why aren't you running now? I've seen people eating for free in my life, but this is the first time I've seen someone whoring for free!"

Su Xin and his group's faces immediately turned strange. Visiting a brothel for free? This guy was quite a talent.

"What's going on, Mr. Liu?" Su Xin asked.

At this moment, Mr. Liu looked rather disheveled.

This old pimp had a refined and handsome appearance, but now his face was red, his hair disheveled, whether from anger or running, it was hard to tell.

Mr. Liu pointed at the young noble still holding his right hand and wailing on the ground, gritting his teeth, "This bastard, he directly booked my Zuiyue Building in the afternoon, asked for the prettiest girl, and ordered the most expensive wine and dishes. After playing, he wanted to run!"

Su Xin looked at the young noble with surprise. He was wearing high-quality brocade from Jiangnan, a set of clothes worth dozens of taels of silver. Would such a noble visit a brothel without paying?

But it was probably his appearance and demeanor that deceived even the cunning Mr. Liu, who served him like a lord all afternoon, only to get nothing in return.

"Alright, hand this guy over to you. Do whatever you want with him." Su Xin waved his hand, preparing to hand him over to Mr. Liu, but suddenly felt something was off.

"Wait a moment."

Su Xin pressed the young noble's head, and he immediately started to struggle violently, but was slapped into a daze by Su Xin.

After feeling his face for a while, Su Xin suddenly lifted it, revealing a mask of human skin, and underneath was the face of a middle-aged man in his forties, looking lecherous.

Holding the human skin mask, Su Xin carefully examined it, saying, "Hehe, this thing is quite exquisite, I almost didn't notice."

The human skin mask was perfect, but this guy's behavior was suspicious.

Ordinary nobles don't have such fast light body skills, nor do they have the ruthlessness to casually stab people with a knife.

"Hey! I seem to recognize this guy. He might be the flower thief the government has been wanted for the past few days," Li Qing suddenly said.

"Flower thief?"

Li Qing nodded, "Yes, it's him. The government posted his portrait all over the streets yesterday.

This guy violated the chastity of over a dozen girls in a month, including the daughter of the magistrate's clerk, which led to a city-wide manhunt. No wonder they couldn't catch him for a month; it turns out he was skilled in disguise."

"Is that so."

Su Xin looked at the flower thief with disgust. He hated people who forced themselves on women the most. Even though he was killed in his previous life for standing up for someone, he still despised such people.

With the flower thief's light body skills, he could have made a fortune as a thief, but he chose to ruin girls' lives. This was too despicable, and Su Xin was quite annoyed.

"Mr. Liu, this guy has a criminal record. Handing him over to you would be a hassle. I'll take him back and chop him up to feed the dogs, and leave his head to the government for a reward."

"Whatever you say, Boss Su." Mr. Liu smiled and bowed, seemingly not hearing Su Xin's words about chopping him up to feed the dogs.

"Wait, don't feed him yet. We've been chasing this bastard for over ten days. Let's take him back to make the clerk angry, then feed him."

Several constables in official uniforms pushed through the crowd and walked in. The leader was in his thirties, with a handsome face and a faint smile on his lips.

He held two iron balls in his right hand, playing with them constantly, a gesture usually seen in old men, but in him, it was full of power.

"I am the chief constable of Dongshierfang, Tie Wucheng. Nice to meet you, Boss Su." Tie Wucheng smiled and bowed, a powerful pressure coming from him.

Su Xin's expression turned serious. This Tie Wucheng, whose name he had heard before, was undoubtedly the strongest person he had met since his rebirth, so much so that he could only be described as unfathomable!

Tie Wucheng did not deliberately use his aura to oppress Su Xin, but as a martial artist, Su Xin naturally felt the powerful pressure from Tie Wucheng's qi and blood.

"Boss Su, you're too kind. If you don't mind, just call me Su Xin."

Even Sha Feiying, facing Tie Wucheng, wouldn't dare to call himself "boss."

Tie Wucheng was not polite, pointing directly at the flower thief, "We've been chasing this guy for over ten days, but he always managed to escape using his disguise skills.

This time, thanks to your help in catching him, otherwise the clerk would have been impatient. Hand him over to me, and you'll definitely get credit on the merit list."

Looking at the flower thief, Su Xin suddenly said, "Lord Tie, you seem to have made a mistake."

The constables behind Tie Wucheng immediately turned cold, their hands instinctively reaching for the sabers on their waists.

Just a small head of the Flying Eagle Gang, daring to negotiate with their boss, was simply asking for death!

Su Xin pointed at the flower thief, "This flower thief was clearly caught by Lord Tie and his subordinates after relentless pursuit, breaking through his disguise with clues. This has nothing to do with me, Su Xin. It's all Lord Tie's achievement."

The constables were stunned, their hands instinctively dropping from their sabers.

The faint smile on Tie Wucheng's lips slowly widened, "Interesting, truly interesting!"
