Urban Martial Saint

Listening to these words, the faces of Lady Boss, White Impermanence, and the young girl all darkened. White Impermanence in particular glared angrily and snapped, ”How dare you speak of my master that way!”

”So what if I speak of him?” The man responded coldly, ”Even the Judge wouldn’t dare to raise his voice in front of me. You, the younger generation, do you really wish to seek death?”

Seeing the man getting irritated, Lady Boss sensed trouble and hastily said, ”Xiao Bai, don’t talk anymore. My friend, if you have any questions, just ask me. As long as I know, I will tell you everything!”

”Boss Mo Mo, these questions, I fear you cannot answer!” The man looked steadily at White Impermanence and then said, ”In March this year, the Judge received a message and personally went to Pingnan Province. What exactly was the matter?”

Upon hearing this, White Impermanence’s expression changed. He looked at the man in astonishment, as if something inconceivable had happened.

Lady Boss was also startled. She had only vaguely heard of the matter and never expected this man to actually come asking about it.

”My friend, are you also here for that matter?” Lady Boss asked softly.

The man ignored Lady Boss, still focusing on White Impermanence, and said, ”Speak!”

White Impermanence hesitated for a moment and then said softly, ”Since you have come forward concerning this matter, it’s clear that you are indeed a peer of my master. Since an elder asks, I naturally cannot conceal anything. However, I would like to ask you one thing first, do you really want to know about this matter?”

”What a joke!” the man replied with a cold voice. ”If it was not for this matter, why would I have come here?”

White Impermanence nodded and said, ”Alright, since you really want to know, then I’ll tell you. Three months ago, my master indeed received a message, that Bloody Monk had been spotted in Pingnan Province!”

The man’s brow furrowed, and he said in a deep voice, ”As expected, it seems that old fellow didn’t lie to me. What happened afterward? The Judge has been in Pingnan for several months; did he find anything?”

White Impermanence replied, ”Before I came back, if you talk about findings, there was only one — an emblem that seemed to be left by Bloody Monk. I’m not sure if it really was his. Afterwards, there were matters to attend to in Shenchuan City, so my master asked me to return first. However, my master will be back in the next few days, and we will know the specifics then!”

The man fell silent for quite a while and then muttered, ”Bloody Monk has been missing for more than a decade and now has reemerged. What’s his purpose? The Judge has been there for several months. If he hadn’t found any traces, he wouldn’t have stayed there. Could it be that Bloody Monk is about to make an appearance again?”

The other three in the room looked at each other. They had also heard of Bloody Monk from the Ghost-faced Judge’s mouth. However, who exactly Bloody Monk was, they did not know. And now this man also knew of Bloody Monk, suggesting that he was indeed no ordinary character!

After murmuring to himself for a long time, the man suddenly stood up, said firmly, ”Why bother with so much? Waiting for them to return, who knows when that will be. You people, relay a message to the Judge for me. This time, with the Shen Family’s young girl entering Shenchuan City, it’s a rare opportunity, and I will not wait any longer!”

Having said that, the man got up, picked up the long box, and strode out the door.

The three people inside watched the man walk away before they exchanged glances, each with a mix of surprise and shock on their faces.

”That Shen Family girl he just mentioned...” Lady Boss said with a slight frown, speaking softly, ”Could it be that girl from the Xihang Shen Family?”

The complexions of White Impermanence and the young girl both changed, and White Impermanence said gravely, ”Could he be planning to make a move on that girl from the Xihang Shen Family? He’s got some nerve!”

Lady Boss glanced at White Impermanence and said, ”He dared to come here and cause trouble. What do you think?”

The Ghost-faced Judge was a notorious assassin of the highest order, and no one dared to provoke him. Since this man had dared to come and make trouble at the teahouse, he also seemed to be the kind of person who feared nothing, and he might truly dare to target the Xihang Shen Family.

”If he manages to take away that girl from the Xihang Shen Family, then we’re all in for it!” the young girl said somberly. ”The Xihang Shen Family treasures that girl like the apple of their eye. If anything happens to her, the Xihang Shen Family would probably storm into Shenchuan City. By then, our teahouse would likely suffer collateral damage as well!”

White Impermanence replied with some disdain, ”However domineering the Xihang Shen Family may be, they wouldn’t dare to lay a hand on our teahouse, would they?”

”You just can’t change your conceited ways!” Lady Boss glared at him furiously and said sternly, ”Contact your master immediately, tell him about this, and have him come back to deal with it personally!”

White Impermanence dared not disobey the Lady Boss’s wishes and could only nod in agreement, ”Yes!”

When Ye Qing brought Fang Tian to the hospital, Wang Tiezhu was sitting on a long bench in the hospital corridor, eating his meal. In all these days, he had become much more haggard, with a disheveled beard, looking quite desolate.

His mother was now fully paralyzed, and his sister had become a vegetable. At this point, he had almost despaired of life. He was still alive only because his mother wasn’t dead, nor was his sister, and he still had things to care about. But for him now, what was the difference between living and being dead?

Seeing him like this, Ye Qing also felt some distress. He walked up to Wang Tiezhu, who looked up, saw Ye Qing, and was momentarily stunned. He was about to speak but then saw Fang Tian beside Ye Qing.

Wang Tiezhu’s face changed suddenly, and he started trembling uncontrollably, staring fixedly at Fang Tian.

All the way, Fang Tian had been pleading with Ye Qing to spare his life. Now seeing Wang Tiezhu, he knew there was no escape and could only attempt a feeble smile, ”Wang... Brother Wang, hello, it’s been... been a long time...”

Seeing Wang Tiezhu’s expression growing increasingly ominous, Fang Tian hurriedly said, ”I can compensate you with money, how much do you want? Just name your price, I’ll give it to you, I can give you a lot of money...”

For what felt like an entire minute, Wang Tiezhu remained silent. Suddenly, he let out a loud howl to the sky, pounced forth, grabbed Fang Tian by the throat, and shoved him to the ground.

Fang Tian struggled desperately, but he couldn’t break free at all. Wang Tiezhu, now like a madman, choked Fang Tian, making wheezing and gasping noises from his mouth and nose. It didn’t take long before Fang Tian began to roll his eyes back, and he nearly lost all strength to struggle.

Just as Fang Tian was about to be strangled to death by Wang Tiezhu, Ye Qing walked over and pulled Wang Tiezhu away. Ye Qing didn’t want to let Fang Tian live, but if Fang Tian died at the hands of Wang Tiezhu, Wang Tiezhu would most likely end up in prison.

Having vented most of his anger, Wang Tiezhu cried loudly and kept kicking Fang Tian with his feet. Fang Tian, just barely catching his breath, was kicked until he bled from his mouth and nose, utterly humiliated. Eventually, he simply hugged his head, lay on the ground, and dared not get up again.

Wang Tiezhu kept kicking until finally, he stopped, exhaustedly sat down on the bench, and cried out loudly. Before seeing Fang Tian, his greatest wish was revenge. But now that he had seen Fang Tian, he suddenly realized he couldn’t do anything. The idea of killing was something he really couldn’t bring himself to do.

Ye Qing knew someone like Wang Tiezhu, even with his enemy right in front of him, wouldn’t know how to take revenge.

”Pillar, if you’re done beating him, hand him over to the police,” Ye Qing patted Wang Tiezhu on the shoulder and said, ”Rest assured, no matter how big their network is, it won’t help them this time. He will definitely receive the punishment he deserves. He will pay for what he’s done to your family.”

Wang Tiezhu looked up at Ye Qing, his eyes brimming with tears, and after a long while, he cried out, ”Brother Ye, thank you!”

”Don’t mention it!” Ye Qing shook his head and said, ”Pillar, you have to remember, revenge isn’t the entirety of your life. The most important thing is that you can stand tall and live with dignity, not keep sinking into despair like this. Neither your mother nor your sister would want to see you this way!”

Embracing his head, Wang Tiezhu sobbed for a long while before he tearfully said, ”All my efforts were for them, for the sake of giving them a good life. I didn’t expect, didn’t expect them to end up like this. If I had known, why did I bother leaving home to study, why did I strive for so much? If I had stayed at home and farmed, my sister wouldn’t have ended up like this!”

”If you had stayed at home, they would have been even more upset,” Ye Qing said. ”Pillar, you’ve already paid such a high price in this city, do you really want to give up? As a man, you should be more courageous in the face of setbacks, and not like this, admitting defeat in front of obstacles. Pillar, do you really want all the sacrifices your sister has made for you to be in vain?”

Wang Tiezhu continued to weep with his head down, his emotions still in violent turmoil. Seeing him like this, Ye Qing just slowly shook his head, sighed, and said, ”Think about it for yourself. I think, both your mother and your sister would want to see you succeed, to shine, and to step over all those who looked down on you in the past. It’s up to you to decide where to go from here. I just want to tell you, Cheng Shuang’s family has already arranged things with the school. If you want to go back to school, you can return at any time, it’s your call.”

After Ye Qing finished speaking, he picked up Fang Tian from the ground and walked towards the outside. Fang Tian was still dazed from the beating and was dragged by Ye Qing all the way to the car. Just as he was about to be thrown into the car, two vehicles suddenly rushed over from the side and blocked Ye Qing’s car in the middle.

The doors of the two vehicles opened and seven or eight people rushed out. The person leading them was none other than Fang Tian’s mother, Luo Caiyun. She glared furiously at Ye Qing and shouted, ”Ye, it really was you who captured my son!”

Ye Qing immediately furrowed his brows, as Luo Caiyun had not received any news for many days while Fang Tian was detained at the Xingyi Martial Arts School. However, as soon as Ye Qing brought him out, Luo Caiyun arrived with her group. How exactly did she get the news? One should know, besides the people at the martial arts school and Ye Qing, who else could have informed Luo Caiyun!

”Mom! Mom! Save me, save me!” Seeing his mother, Fang Tian immediately regained his spirit and cried out for help, ”Save me, they’re going to kill me, they’re going to kill me. Mom, quickly kill this Ye Qing, then kill that Wang Tiezhu, take revenge for me, look what they did to me...”
