25: Chapter 25 Bully

Su Jiuchuan ignored the look of astonishment on Zheng Xinyue's face and asked, "You look so frantic, what happened?"

Zheng Xinyue finally remembered the purpose of her visit and said anxiously, "It's bad. News just came from the Lu Family that Miss Su ran into the horse of the Lu Family's Third Young Master. The Lu Family plans to sell her to the Cuihong Pavilion tomorrow."

"Cuihong Pavilion..." she blushed and said, "It's the largest brothel in Xuzhou City!"

"Bam!" Su Jiuchuan slammed his hand down, and the tea table in front of him shattered into a pile of wood shavings. "They have gone too far."

"I'm afraid they are doing this to deal with you!" Zheng Xinyue analyzed. She understood Su Jiuchuan's background and knew that he had never been to Xuzhou City.

"But why would the Lu Family do this?"

For a moment, neither of them could figure out the reason.

...

Su Jiuchuan walked out of the Fuyuan Escort Agency with a gloomy expression. He now only had 866 points of money, not even enough for a single simulation.

Of course, the most critical thing was that his Martial Artist Realm was now Fourth-Rank, which meant that every time he simulated life, he needed at least two thousand taels to perform one simulation.

Although the Golden Finger was fun to use, the cost was truly unaffordable!

Su Jiuchuan thought for a moment, but couldn't care less. He chose a direction and ran, soon arriving and stopping in front of a courtyard.

In front of this courtyard, there were two stone lions, and a plaque hung above, inscribed with: Hefeng Martial Arts Hall.

Indeed, this was the Hefeng Martial Arts Hall that had scammed him to death in one of his simulations.

Su Jiuchuan saw people entering and leaving the martial arts hall from time to time; it was clear that many people came here to learn martial arts.

He did not go in, but instead found the gatehouse and asked the middle-aged man sitting inside, "Sir, does the martial arts hall have any high-quality bone-setting medicine for sale?"

"My fellow villager broke his leg, and I want to buy a bone-setting pill to treat him."

In this era, martial arts halls not only taught Cultivation Techniques but also sold bone-setting medicine or golden wound medicine. After all, it was normal for people practicing martial arts to suffer bruises and injuries, and usually, a martial arts hall was a place where injuries easily occurred.

It could also be considered a supplementary income for the martial arts hall.

"Bone-setting pills are one tael of silver each, and golden wound medicine is five taels of silver per qian," the middle-aged man said unhurriedly.

"So expensive?" Su Jiuchuan pretended to be startled and said.

"Take it or leave it. If you can't afford it, get lost."

The middle-aged man glared at him and ignored him further.

"Fine, I'll buy one!" Su Jiuchuan fished out one tael of silver and placed it down.

The middle-aged man pulled a small porcelain bottle from his bosom and threw it over.

Su Jiuchuan took the bottle, opened it, and saw a black pill the size of a dragon eye. He nodded, turned around, left the gatehouse, walked to the main entrance, and slammed on the door.

"Bang! Bang! Bang!" The dull sound of knocking on the door echoed throughout the martial arts hall.

The middle-aged man who had been sitting in the gatehouse was startled and jumped out in a hurry, cursing angrily, "Kid, are you looking for death?"

"Exactly, who dares to come to the martial arts hall to cause trouble!"

"Ignorant of life and death, we must cripple him today!"

"..."

The people who were originally practicing in the martial arts hall all stopped, and several sturdy men roared at him.

The Senior Brother who was instructing several people in martial arts had already rushed over at this moment, attacking with a 'Vicious Tiger Pierces the Heart' move. Su Jiuchuan kicked him over and directly stepped on the Senior Brother.

For a moment, the surrounding apprentices were silent as cicadas in winter. This Senior Brother was a Ninth-Rank Martial Artist, yet he couldn't even withstand one move from this person.

"Who are you?" A pretty female voice rang out.

Su Jiuchuan turned to look and saw a slim woman; it must be the daughter of the hall master who married him in that simulated life.

"My fellow villager broke his leg a few days ago and bought a bone-setting pill at your martial arts hall. Who knew he would vomit blood and die after taking it? Clearly, your medicine is poisonous."

After speaking, he took out the porcelain bottle from his bosom, shook it, and said, "This is the evidence!"

The middle-aged man at the gatehouse wanted to say that this was what he had just bought, but after seeing Su Jiuchuan's gaze, he swallowed his words.

The woman frowned and said, "Impossible, our medicine cannot be poisonous."

Su Jiuchuan couldn't be bothered to deal with her and said directly, "Five thousand taels. At least five thousand taels of silver to soothe the grief of losing my fellow villager!"

"You dare to blackmail our Hefeng Martial Arts Hall? You are courting death." The woman was furious and lunged at him.

Su Jiuchuan kicked her again, directly knocking the woman over. At this, the others in the martial arts hall were even more afraid to move.

This woman was named Gu Yulian, the only daughter of Gu Liangcai. She was considered a cultivation Genius, and at such a young age, she was already a 6th Grade Martial Artist. Yet, in front of this person, she couldn't even take a single move.

"It seems there is no one here who can come up with five thousand taels of silver. Go call your hall master, otherwise I will have to tear this martial arts hall down."

Several apprentices from the martial arts hall quickly slipped out from the side to bring the hall master over.

...

Su Jiuchuan then began to stroll slowly around the martial arts hall unhurriedly.

Playing the part of a bully today was a last resort; he was truly out of money.

But just robbing people didn't feel right; at least it was hard to get over that hurdle mentally, after all, he was an educated person.

Fortunately, in that simulated life experience, this Hefeng Martial Arts Hall had offended him.

Oh, no, it had offended that version of him in that space-time.

Therefore, he had absolutely no psychological pressure regarding this action against Hefeng Martial Arts Hall.

In less time than it takes to burn an incense stick, Gu Liangcai rushed over from outside. Before he arrived, his voice had already reached them.

"Which little brat dares to touch my daughter? I will kill him!"

As soon as he walked into the martial arts hall, he happened to see his daughter being supported by several apprentices. He was shocked and furious. "Yulian, are you okay!"

The woman shook her head, feeling her internal True Qi churning and her breathing unstable, but she forced herself to endure it and said, "I'm fine."

Gu Liangcai was furious. He turned to look at Su Jiuchuan and said coldly, "Your Excellency, you came to my martial arts hall to cause trouble today. If you don't give an explanation today, don't think about leaving."

For so many years, in this Xuzhou City, even those prominent families rarely caused him trouble. Today, not only had someone bullied their way to his door, but they had even injured his daughter. His murderous intent boiled over.

"An explanation?" Su Jiuchuan drew the long saber from his waist and said, "Then I will give you an explanation!"

He is actually a Fourth-Rank?

At this, Gu Liangcai was completely terrified. Such a young guy was actually a Fourth-Rank Martial Artist.

He himself had been stuck at the Fifth-Rank Realm for so many years, so he naturally knew that to be able to advance to a Fourth-Rank Martial Artist at this age, one was generally supported by a powerful force.

However, he didn't remember offending any powerful forces.
