Alienated Martial Arts

It's getting late.

Wei Tao had just finished cleaning the house and came to the yard to throw away the unnecessary garbage.

Bang bang bang!

There was a knock on the door.

Putting down what he was holding, Wei Tao glanced at the door in surprise.

He was indeed curious. He had just completed the handover of the land title at noon, and before he actually moved in, someone had already come to visit him.

Are the residents of wealthy areas also so hospitable?

But when he looked out through the crack in the door, Wei Tao couldn't help but narrowed his eyes slightly.

It turned out to be a sergeant wearing leather armor.

On the road farther away, there were still a few sergeants waiting.

"What does this military master do for you?"

Wei Tao secretly drew blood and slowly opened the door.

"Are you the new resident?" the sergeant asked, standing there without coming in.

"Yes." Wei Tao nodded.

The sergeant cupped his hands, with a stylized stiff smile on his face, "I'm here to inform you that according to the regulations set by the city's garrison master Zhou, the residents in this area must pay one or two silver coins every month as part of the city's defense. The army’s night patrol fee.”

One tael of silver per month is a huge expense, but the guy named Qi has never mentioned it.

As expected, there is no business without treachery. As long as you can sell the house and make money, I won't care about the rest of your affairs.

Moreover, he had just received the land deed at noon, and the sergeant who came in the afternoon came to knock on the door and charge money. This news was conveyed quickly enough.

Wei Tao was silent for a moment. He didn't know whose pocket this "property fee" fell into, and he didn't want to dig deeper to find out.

He only knew that if he could establish a good relationship with the patrol sergeant, it would be very beneficial in the future.

Quietly, one tael of silver ingots was delivered into the hands of the sergeant.

Then, Wei Tao remained calm and rubbed his fingers gently.

"You work hard on patrol, military master. A little money for refreshments is not a sign of respect."

The sergeant was slightly startled, then looked down at the extra piece of broken silver in his hand, and his eyes suddenly lit up.

"Ahem, my surname is Bian, and I am the corps commander in charge of patrol today. Young master, just call me Lao Bian."

Wei Tao nodded, "Brother Bian is tired from patrolling outside. Why don't we invite the brothers to come in and have a drink after dark? It can also be regarded as helping the younger brother celebrate the joy of moving into a new house."

"This..." Wu Chang Bian hesitated a little.

"There is a restaurant on the street in front. It won't take long for me to pack up a table and come back."

Wei Tao paused for a moment when he said this, "I remember that our senior brother Tan Pan once said when we were having wine that the food in that restaurant was pretty good. I just moved from somewhere else and I really wanted to try it. Try the food there.”

After hearing this, Commander Bian's expression changed slightly, "Senior Brother Tan Pan, is the young master a direct disciple of Master Zhou from the Red Line Martial Arts School?"

"Well, I have just been accepted as a direct disciple by Master Zhou." Wei Tao said as he took out another broken piece of silver and was about to walk outside.

"Well...how can I do this kind of errand work myself?"

Commander Bian waved his hand, summoned one of his men, and ordered arrogantly, "Go to the restaurant over there, order a table, and have them deliver it to this young master's residence."

Wei Tao grabbed Wu Zhang Bian and handed over the money in his hand, "How can I let Brother Bian spend money if I treat you brothers to a drink?"

More than half an hour later.

Wu Chang Bian walked out of the door drunkenly, and cupped his hands towards Wei Tao, "Young master, you can rest assured, brothers will definitely investigate the matter you just mentioned!"

"You bitches, those little gangs are so desperate that they dare to openly gather people to cause trouble in areas such as Jade Factory near the inner city. If we don't kill them, our city defense army won't be able to save the face of them!"

"Yes, Master, just say hello if you need anything."

The soldiers below repeatedly echoed, "If anything happens in the future, please just tell me. If nothing else, we brothers still have strength in our arms."

"Brother Bian and all the brothers are walking slowly. When you have nothing to do, come over and have a rest. Have a few glasses of water and wine to relieve your fatigue."

Wei Tao watched everyone go away, turned around and closed the door.

With a drink and a little money, you can get closer to this team of city defense troops. It is undoubtedly a very cost-effective thing.

Of course, this is also related to the fact that he immediately revealed his identity as a direct disciple of the Red Line Sect.

If you just have money, in this chaotic world, you can only be regarded as a fat pig in the eyes of others, and everyone wants to pounce on you and take a bite.

However, if you add strength in addition to money, it becomes a completely different situation.

The Youth Cooperation Association and the city defense force, such a two-pronged approach, should be able to ensure the safety of the family for the time being.

However, as long as the ultimate source of the problem and the main contradiction are not eliminated, the crisis hidden in the dark will be difficult to resolve.

After punching for a while in the wide courtyard, Wei Tao dissipated his energy and blood, looked up at the sparse starry sky, and saw the figures of the Wang family siblings again in front of his eyes.

What he lacks most now is time.

As long as he is allowed to develop peacefully for a while, his cultivation will be able to break through muscle refining, enter blood coagulation, and even reach the highest level of red line realm.

At that time, neither Wang Yingxue nor the Silver Wolf Gang had anything to fear.

……………………

"You haven't found Bai Qian yet?"

At the headquarters of the Silver Wolf Gang, Wang Yingxue sat motionless, looking at the man in black kneeling below.

"No." The man in black replied cautiously, "The last time Miss Bai Qian appeared was in the afternoon four days ago. She took a few people out and then never came back."

The afternoon four days ago?

Wang Yingxue frowned slightly and fell into thought.

According to Bai Qian's acting style, if nothing unexpected happened, she should go directly to find the target... Wei Tao.

She always likes to be alone, so she should bring a few gang members with her and let them be responsible for watching and following her.

When she really decided to take action, she would push away the others and crush the target's bones bit by bit with her feet.

However, Bai Qian disappeared.

Several gang members also disappeared.

Could it be that he tried to kill someone but failed, and died in the hands of Wei Tao instead?

An idea flashed through his heart, but was quickly rejected by Wang Yingxue.

This is impossible.

Absolutely impossible.

Bai Qian is a killer she personally trained.

Although the level of strength is not as good as her own, when used against a guy with a mere skin-forging level, there will be no accidents at all, let alone being counterattacked and losing one's life.

So, could there be some mysterious master hiding behind Wei Tao?

Wang Yingxue quickly recalled the information about Wei Tao, not believing that such a situation would happen anyway.

Or did Bai Qian accidentally offend a passing strong dragon after going out?

Or maybe she suddenly made other discoveries and left Cangyuan City without saying goodbye?

After thinking for a long time, but still not getting a satisfactory answer, Wang Yingxue couldn't help but sigh lowly, "I asked you to check on Wei Tao's family. What's the situation now?"

"Miss, we did find out their location, but..." The man raised his head and glanced at her, but hesitated to speak.

"But what?" Her eyes were cold, like a poisonous snake waiting for an opportunity, piercing the man's face.

"Yes, that's right."

The subordinate swallowed a mouthful of saliva and said tremblingly, "We found out that Wei Tao's father is Wei Rongxing. He is now working in a newly built house on the edge of the inner city. His mother and sister are both in the jade industry. Work in the workshop.”

“It’s just that these two places are close to the inner city.

None of our people dare to break in directly;

So I can only stay nearby and wait for the opportunity.

But I don't know why,

They first had a conflict with some gangsters on the street, and the two sides fought fiercely.

Then he happened to provoke the gang of villains from the city defense army.

The brothers we sent out were all beaten severely.

Some were even imprisoned.

It hasn't been released yet. "

"Also, there is no news from the brother who was sent to stay near Wei's home. My subordinate sent people to investigate around the alley today, but they heard some strange rumors."

"What rumors?" Wang Yingxue asked.

"On the morning of three days ago, in that place called Yaoshi Lane, two families were wiped out. Their bodies were twisted, with horrified expressions, and it seemed as if the blood in their bodies had been drained..."

The subordinate whispered, his voice full of fear.

"Forget it, stop staring now and tell them to pull everyone back."

Wang Yingxue closed her eyes, rubbed her brows tiredly, and after a long silence, she suddenly asked, "Is the young master back?"

The personal maid on the side said, "As far as I can tell you, the young master has not come back yet."

"Have you gone to the inner city to have fun and have fun again? Xiaoshan is becoming more and more disobedient to discipline."

Wang Yingxue snorted coldly, "When he comes back, let him come to me."

"It's Miss." The maid curtsied and slowly closed the door.

Time passed little by little.

After an unknown amount of time, the candles in the room went out.

The whole room suddenly fell into darkness.

"Is it really that difficult to deal with a guy who has no roots or roots?"

A pair of eyes slowly opened in the darkness, shining brightly, "This matter cannot be delayed for a long time. Everything must be settled before Master Zhou comes back."

"If it doesn't work, I will take action myself!"
