Chapter 57

Su Xin came with great momentum to seek the position of hall master, and neither Sha Feiying nor the other three hall masters could possibly allow this.

But Su Xin's expression remained unchanged, as if he had anticipated this situation.

"Boss, don't be too quick to refuse. There are benefits to me becoming a hall master. With my current reputation, staying in the Flying Eagle Gang as a hall master will definitely boost the morale of the brothers. If I leave, the outcome is obvious, isn't it?"

Sha Feiying's eyes instantly flashed with a fierce look: "Su Xin, what do you mean? Do you want to betray the gang?"

"Don't make it sound so harsh. It's not that I betrayed the Flying Eagle Gang, but that the Flying Eagle Gang betrayed me!"

Su Xin's eyes gradually turned cold: "Boss, since I joined the gang, I have contributed a lot. But when something happened, you all planned to capture me and hand me over to atone for the sins, which is truly disheartening!"

Sha Feiying and the others remained silent. They knew they were in the wrong, and such behavior would be despised by anyone.

"Fortunately, I, Su Xin, didn't die. I don't want to dwell on this matter. Our Flying Eagle Gang has always valued strength and battle achievements. With my current strength and achievements, don't I deserve the position of hall master?"

Su Xin pointed at Dong Chengwu and sneered: "If even a defeated opponent like him can be a hall master, why can't I?"

"What did you say!?" Dong Chengwu angrily stood up, glaring at Su Xin.

"Are you still不服 (unconvinced) that you're a defeated opponent? Or do you want to fight again?"

Su Xin looked at Dong Chengwu coldly. The hall master of the Punishment Hall was now just putting on a brave front. Even if he had two more lives, he wouldn't dare to make a move against him.

Dong Chengwu indeed didn't dare to make a move against Su Xin anymore.

He was a man of principles, but Su Xin was undoubtedly a rule-breaker. He didn't care about hierarchy or respect, and he even dared to kill Meng Chong. If he angered Su Xin again, would Su Xin dare to kill him?

Dong Chengwu didn't dare to take that risk.

Sha Feiying was silent for a moment before saying, "Your strength and achievements are indeed enough to be a hall master, but your experience is too shallow. In the entire Changning Prefecture, there isn't a single hall master under the age of twenty."

"Experience? That's just a load of nonsense!"

Su Xin said bluntly, "If I join the Green Bamboo Gang now, they will definitely put aside their previous grudges and accept me, and at least the position of deputy boss is guaranteed. But I, Su Xin, am not a person who forgets my roots. I've been in the Flying Eagle Gang for so long. If the gang gives me what I deserve, why would I switch to another gang?"

Sha Feiying stared at Su Xin intently. He knew that when Su Xin talked about switching to another gang, it wasn't just about him going to another gang, but also bringing his subordinates and territory with him!

With Su Xin and his subordinates, who had all cultivated internal skills, plus Yongle Lane and Kuaile Forest, Su Xin's own power had already reached one-third of the entire Flying Eagle Gang.

If Su Xin were to bring these to the Green Bamboo Gang now, the original balance of power would be completely overturned, and the Flying Eagle Gang would inevitably be suppressed by the Green Bamboo Gang, becoming the lowest-ranked gang in Changning Prefecture!

Su Xin continued, "Three hall masters, you don't need to be so nervous. Even if I become a hall master, I won't touch any of your powers."

Dong Chengwu and the other three exchanged glances, all showing puzzled expressions.

If you don't want power, why do you insist on the position of hall master? Just for the title?

"I won't interfere with the affairs of the Battle Hall, Punishment Hall, or Benevolence Hall. I will establish a new hall called the Skill Transmission Hall, which will be responsible for teaching the gang members internal skills and martial techniques."

Sha Feiying and the others were taken aback. Would Su Xin be so generous as to teach internal skills and martial techniques to those who weren't his subordinates?

Dong Chengwu asked, "Will you also teach the gang members your fist technique and fast sword?"

Su Xin looked at him as if he were an idiot. Dong Chengwu realized his question was too naive and immediately shut up.

"Which internal skills and martial techniques to teach, I will decide myself. I don't need you to worry about it. Any gang member can come to learn in the Skill Transmission Hall," Su Xin said calmly.

Sha Feiying looked at Su Xin, finding it hard to read this young man.

The Skill Transmission Hall Su Xin wanted to establish was even less appealing than the title of a nominal hall master.

Lin Fuhu's Battle Hall controlled the strongest fighting force in the gang, Dong Chengwu's Punishment Hall had the greatest power, and Zhuang Li's Benevolence Hall was the most profitable.

The Skill Transmission Hall Su Xin wanted to establish wouldn't bring any benefits, and he would even have to invest his own skills and time, which was clearly a losing proposition. Would someone as shrewd as Su Xin do such a thing?

Seeing Sha Feiying's silence, Su Xin smiled and asked, "How about it, Boss? Is the position I'm asking for too much? I will establish a new hall, which won't take away any of the gang's power but will increase the strength of the Flying Eagle Gang."

Dong Chengwu and the other three didn't object this time.

Since the establishment of the Skill Transmission Hall wouldn't conflict with their interests, they had no reason to oppose it.

After a long moment of thought, Sha Feiying still couldn't figure out what Su Xin was up to. He said solemnly, "Su Xin, if you have any other conditions, just say them. I don't believe you're establishing the Skill Transmission Hall just for the good of the gang."

"Boss, you're wronging me. I, Su Xin, am still a member of the Flying Eagle Gang. Isn't it normal to think about the gang's interests?" Su Xin loudly protested, but Dong Chengwu and the others secretly rolled their eyes.

Talking about the gang's interests was fine in front of the gang members, but in reality, everyone prioritized their own interests before the gang's.

Even Sha Feiying, who had founded the Flying Eagle Gang, was no exception.

If he had thought about the gang's interests, he wouldn't have ruthlessly killed over a dozen talented leaders and restricted the powers of Dong Chengwu and others.

The Flying Eagle Gang, the Flying Eagle Gang—first there was Sha Feiying, then there was the Flying Eagle Gang.

Seeing Sha Feiying's disbelieving look, Su Xin shrugged, "Alright, I have one more condition. That is, to appoint Li Huaiguo and Huang Bingcheng as major leaders. If I become a hall master, Kuaile Forest and Yongle Lane will be under their management, making it official."

Huang Bingcheng and Li Huaiguo were both stunned. They hadn't expected that Su Xin had brought them to seek the position of major leaders for them.

Li Huaiguo was a bit more composed, but Huang Bingcheng was extremely excited.

Before meeting Su Xin, he had dreamed many times of becoming a powerful major leader, feeling proud and respected.

Later, although his actual power was greater than some major leaders, he lacked the official title, which always left him feeling a bit regretful.

Now, with just one word from Su Xin, he had been given the position of major leader.

Hearing Su Xin's condition, Sha Feiying thought for a moment and agreed. This request wasn't too much.

The thirteen major leaders of the Flying Eagle Gang all had the right to participate in discussions. After all, they were all old comrades who had fought with Sha Feiying and had significant influence in the gang.

Among these thirteen major leaders, only a few had good relationships with the three hall masters, while most were loyal to Sha Feiying.

Su Xin becoming a hall master and gaining the support of two major leaders wasn't a big deal, so he agreed readily.

Moreover, it was better that Su Xin had conditions than none at all, as he would always suspect that Su Xin was plotting something in secret.

"Tomorrow, I will announce that you will become a hall master, and they will become major leaders."

Sha Feiying looked at Su Xin and said solemnly, "Su Xin, you are still young. In the future, you will definitely be one of the key figures in the Flying Eagle Gang. Now, by strengthening the gang's power, you will benefit in the future. Let's forget the past unpleasantness."

Su Xin's lips curled into a smile, "Thank you, Boss. I, Su Xin, am not a petty person. I have already forgotten the past."

The two of them spoke with double meanings, and then Su Xin left with Huang Bingcheng and Li Huaiguo, as he had already achieved his goal. As for what Sha Feiying said, who would believe it?

Just one of the key figures in the future. Why "one of"? Probably in Sha Feiying's mind, the entire Flying Eagle Gang was meant for his son, so others could only be "one of."

After leaving the main hall, Huang Bingcheng, seeing no one around, hurriedly asked, "Boss, why did you set up the Skill Transmission Hall? Isn't that a thankless task?

If the subordinates of other major leaders or the three hall masters come to learn internal skills and martial techniques, even if we teach them, we won't gain their loyalty."

Su Xin shook his head. He wanted the position of hall master of the Skill Transmission Hall for two reasons: one was to complete a task, and the other was for future plans.

"Look further ahead. If the subordinates of other major leaders or hall masters want to learn, let them. I don't expect that teaching them skills and techniques will make them loyal to me. The Skill Transmission Hall is just to build good will."

"Good will?"

"Exactly, good will. If these people can think well of us, that's enough," Su Xin said calmly.

Huang Bingcheng looked at Su Xin with shock. The seemingly thankless Skill Transmission Hall actually had only one purpose: to win the hearts of the people for Su Xin!

It might not show results in the short term, but over time, the gang members' attitudes would definitely change.

Now, Su Xin was already a hall master, the highest position in the Flying Eagle Gang except for the boss. What was above that?

If it were in the past, Huang Bingcheng would have been shocked, but now he was very calm.

Just now, he saw Su Xin use both soft and hard tactics to forcefully take the position of hall master and two major leaders from the boss. His fear of the boss and the upper echelons of the Flying Eagle Gang had long disappeared.

After returning to the hall, Su Xin told Huang Bingcheng and the others to prepare. Tomorrow, Sha Feiying would announce the establishment of the Skill Transmission Hall.

Su Xin himself entered the system. When Sha Feiying agreed to let him become a hall master, the system had already notified him that he had completed the task.
