Alienated Martial Arts

Wei Tao frowned slightly, "Junior Brother Wang, do you mean that when the direct disciples of the inner courtyard reach the point where they can no longer improve, they have to leave the profession to make a living on their own?"

"Yes, that's the truth."

Wang Lianshan smiled again as he spoke, "But their choices when going out are much wider. For example, Suo Qishu of Changlefang, who is well-known in the outer city, has two formal disciples who have been taught by the teacher before, and they can be regarded as his right-hand men. Backbone strength..."

"Of course, senior brother, don't worry. You can come to my gang after being kicked out of the martial arts gym.

Although the status and treatment are not as good as those of the two inner court senior brothers, I can guarantee that you will have no worries about food and drink no matter what.

And every time I perform a gang task, I get a lot of money.

Just like this group of registered disciples who were eliminated, the better ones were invited to join the gang..."

Having said this, he took out a silver ingot from his arms and put it on the table in front of him, "As long as Senior Brother Wei is willing, you can take these five taels of silver to settle down now. From now on, everyone will be good brothers of the Silver Wolf Gang." .”

Wei Tao lowered his eyes, moved a little away, and broke open another steamed bun. "Junior brother Wang, please go ask other people first. I have no idea of ​​joining the gang yet."

Wang Lianshan's smile remained unchanged, "Senior brother, it's okay if you don't want to join a gang. Did you see the little girl who entered the martial arts gym with me?

Her grandfather is the person in charge of the Blacksmith Alley in the north of the city. As long as you can make her fancy, from now on, you can choose the food and drinks you want.

It's just that this little girl thinks very highly of herself, and she's afraid that you won't be able to get into her eyes. "

Wei Tao glanced at the female disciple who was surrounded by a group of people not far away, and slowly shook his head, "Now I just want to concentrate on practicing martial arts. I can talk about other things later."

"Senior Brother Wei should know that practicing martial arts requires talent."

“And most of the time, making the right choice is more important than blindly working hard. If you have the opportunity, you must seize it.

Senior brother, who grew up in the quagmire of the outer city, should understand this better than me. "

Wang Lianshan clapped his hands gently, making a crisp sound like the sound of gold and iron.

But if you listen carefully, there is still a bit of discordant noise.

Sensing Wei Tao's sideways gaze, Wang Lianshan slowly spread his hands.

The palm of the hand is as red as blood and as hard as stone to the touch.

After a while, he dispersed the qi and blood in his palms, and showed a faint smile, "Senior Brother Wei, I suddenly felt something when I was absorbing the power of the medicine this morning. When I circulate the qi and blood again, it is no longer stagnant and difficult at the beginning.

However, it is still a little short of the teacher's entry requirements. After all, it will take some time to get used to it and stabilize it. "

"I will be the host in the evening and treat some brothers who are planning to join the gang to dinner.

Brother Wei, think about it carefully, it would be best if you can come and participate.

After all, one month is not a short time, but it is not very long either.

Don't regret not seizing the opportunity I gave you later. "

After learning boxing, you might consider joining a gang.

But if you fail to learn, what is the point of joining a gang with a precarious future?

It's better to go back and inherit the family business and become a little carpenter who collects herbs and chops firewood.

Several thoughts flashed through Wei Tao's mind, and just as he was about to politely refuse, there was a sudden noise at the door.

When he looked up, he saw Fifth Senior Brother Peng Yue striding from outside. Without even looking at the registered disciples around him, they stood up to say hello and said directly, "Junior Brother Wei, the teacher has something to ask you."

Wei Tao stood up and said with some surprise, "Senior Brother Peng, teacher, is there something wrong with me?"

He calculated the time subconsciously.

You can be sure that from entry to now, it has never exceeded three months.

Peng Yue casually picked up a bun from the table and stuffed it into his mouth. While eating, he said casually, "The old steward of the martial arts school is returning home. The teacher said that Junior Brother Wei has studied and can settle accounts. It seems that he is ready." Let you take over the management job."

When Wang Lianshan heard the news, his expression suddenly became a little ugly.

Wei Tao drank the last sip of the broth and put the bowls and chopsticks on the table with a slightly apologetic smile on his face, "Junior Brother Wang, you see, it is indeed a bit unfortunate. If I have time later, I will serve as a host and invite Junior Brother Wang alone." …”

As a result, before he could finish speaking, Wang Lianshan stood up and left with a cold snort, not even paying attention to Peng Yue who was standing beside him.

At nightfall.

In a private room of a restaurant in the outer city.

A group of people gathered around the table and exchanged cups, which was very lively.

"Come on, come on, let's give Junior Brother Wang another drink."

Several wine glasses clinked in mid-air and were immediately drank down.

Wang Lianshan picked up a chopstick of braised pork and put it into his mouth, exhaling a breath of alcohol with satisfaction, "Senior brothers, don't worry, after joining our Silver Wolf Gang, we will make money together and eat meat together, so naturally we won't treat you badly."

"Thank you so much, Master, for cultivating me."

"With Mr. Wang's words, we feel relieved."

"We are all people with no talent and can't become formal disciples. Thanks to Junior Brother Wang for taking us in, otherwise we wouldn't know what kind of job we would find to fill our stomachs in the future."

"Don't worry, young gang leader. From now on, we will hit wherever you point us without any hesitation."

"Yes, this is called brothers working together, and their strength is as sharp as gold."

"That boy named Wei didn't even give any face to the young gang leader. I would like to see if he can't become an official disciple of the inner courtyard in another month. Even if he becomes the manager of the martial arts hall, he will still be humble. A young gang leader?"

Wang Lianshan played with the wine glass in his hand and said with a faint smile, "Forget it, I have a good relationship with Senior Brother Peng in the inner courtyard and I don't want to talk to us registered disciples."

"But I never thought why the teacher would let him be the manager of the martial arts gym. Now that the outer city is getting more and more chaotic, it depends on whether he can maintain it."

……………………

The room diagonally opposite the box.

Peng Yue tore into the smoked chicken on the plate, his mouth was full of oil as he ate, and even his eyebrows stretched.

After eating most of the smoked chicken in one go, he finally had his hands free, picked up the huge wine bowl and drank it all in one gulp.

"Junior Brother Wei, I even doubt whether you chose this restaurant on purpose and happened to sit across from them."

Wei Tao helped to refill the drink and smiled speechlessly.

"Didn't Senior Brother Peng say that he wanted to eat smoked chicken? Junior Brother thought that the smoked chicken from Shaobailou had the best taste, so he asked Senior Brother Peng to book this private room. Who knew that he would just meet them."

Peng Yue laughed and changed the subject, "Would you like me, senior brother, to take you over and have a drink with them?"

"Forget it, it's better not to see each other than to see each other, which will make everyone look bad."

The two had another drink. Wei Tao lowered his eyes to cover the flash of light in his eyes, "I just pretended that I didn't hear what they said.

After all, Junior Brother Wang is a lively and out-of-the-box young man, and he is not a bad person.

It's not worth hurting the friendship between brothers through these things. "

Peng Yue smiled honestly again, "Junior Brother Wei is right. Anyway, registered disciples come and go, and the teacher doesn't remember their names at all. In the final analysis, we still have to work hard to practice, become a formal disciple, and teach the teacher's true teachings."

While he was talking, Peng Yue had already eaten all the food on the table. He pushed the table and stood up. "It tastes good. I'll go and pay."

"If I treat Senior Brother Peng to a meal of chicken, there's no point in asking Senior Brother to pay the bill."

As Wei Tao spoke, he took out a jar of soju and two wrapped smoked chickens from under the table, "Brother Peng will take these back for midnight snacks."

"How embarrassing."

"Senior brother takes care of me a lot on weekdays. I should be embarrassed."

"Okay, thank you, Junior Brother Wei, for hosting me today. I had a good time enjoying my appetite." Peng Yue patted his belly, took the packed wine and meat in his hands, and went straight out and down the stairs.

Standing on the already darkened long street, he looked up at the still noisy box upstairs, "You are not a formal disciple yet, so maybe you don't know that Wang Lianshan has an adopted sister."

Then without waiting for Wei Tao to respond, Peng Yue continued.

"She is Second Senior Sister Wang Yingxue, the strongest person in our sect besides teacher and senior brother...

When the old manager resigned, it seems that Senior Sister Wang recommended someone to be the manager of the martial arts gym.

The teacher was already moved, but for some reason he suddenly thought of Junior Brother Wei and asked me to call you over for questioning. "

"In addition, apart from the fact that senior brother and I came from poor families,

The third brother's family runs an escort agency.

Fourth senior brother Suo Yunhai is the nephew of Suo Qi, the owner of a gambling house in the outer city.

And the Sixth Junior Brother's family basically monopolizes the leather business in several villages and towns outside the city. Do you understand? "

Wei Tao nodded thoughtfully, "I understand, thank you senior brother for informing me."

"It's actually useless to understand. When you climb up with all your strength, you find that someone was born here.

But if you don't crawl, you will be stepped into the mud, and you will have to fight for a living just to get some scraps. "

Peng Yue waved his hand, wandered away along the long street, and soon fell into the darkness where the light could not shine.
