Chapter 105 – Winning People Over with Force (1/2)

Li Qingshan smiled silently. He neither confirmed nor denied it.

Yan Song said, “Did the Black Wolf guard Feng Zhang die to your hands as well?” Originally, he refused to consider such an absurd possibility. A Black Wolf guard, five first-rate masters, and a great group of second and third-rate masters would actually die to a little known kid. However, he believed it somewhat now.

Li Qingshan still did not answer.

Yan Song drew out his hand. He was not holding the talisman anymore.

Li Qingshan smiled, “We’re not continuing to fight?”

Yan Song said, “You’re dead already. There’s no point for me to waste something like that on a dead man.”

Li Qingshan said, “Oh? How come?”

Yan Song said, “You kill a Black Wolf guard. Do you think you can still live?”

Li Qingshan dodged the question. “That’s something you don’t have to worry about. Please return my items!”

Yan Song paled. Liu Hong pulled Li Qingshan to the side and pleaded, “Qingshan, I didn’t know you would return alive, which was why I dug up those things. If you want silver, I’ll give it to you, alright?”

Li Qingshan shrugged. “That’s what I was asking for in the first place.” He wanted to reason with Yan Song, but what could he do when Yan Song was unreasonable? He was forced to talk through his fists.

Liu Hong shot a glance, and the disciples of the Iron Fist school dispersed the crowd. The large martial arts platform emptied out.

At this moment, Ye Dachuan arrived in a carriage. After looking at everyone’s expressions and seeing the redness that had yet to fade from Yan Song’s face, he gained a rough understanding as to what had happened. He found it satisfying. In the past few days, he had been holding banquets and inviting Yan Song, but all this shitty protector did was look down on him. The protector finally knew what was what now!

He put on an act and coughed twice. “Protector Yan, do you have misunderstandings with sheriff Li? As they say, it’s better to resolve grievances than to deepen them. I’ll play the host for lunch and serve as a mediator for the two of you.”

Yan Song interrupted him. “There’s no need. I have nothing to say to a dead man!”

Li Qingshan said, “Why don’t you say that again!?” He had been defeated, yet he was still so arrogant. Do you really think I won’t kill you?

Yan Song sneered, but as expected, he was no longer bold enough to keep talking. There was nothing he could do given the current circumstances.

Ye Daochan asked in surprise, “What dead man?” After hearing the whole story, he began to worry for Li Qingshan as expected.

Li Long whispered, “Qingshan, you’d better go!” He received a cold glare from Yan Song.

Li Qingshan sneered inside, Do you really think I’m done for? He said nonchalantly, “I’m about to go to Jiaping city to join the Hawkwolf Guard.”

“What a joke! Just with- hmph!” Yan Song sneered. Originally, he wanted to say, “Just with you.” but then he remembered that Li Qingshan truly possessed the necessary strength, so he could only sneer in contempt.

Ye Dachuan asked, “And what’s that about?”

Li Qingshan said, “The Scarlet Hawk commander, old Wang, wants me to report to Zhuo Zhibo in Jiaping city.”

Yan Song cried out, “How is that possible? You killed Feng Zhang! You’re an enemy of the Hawkwolf Guard!”

Ye Dachuan asked, “I- is that true?”

Li Qingshan took out the Black Wolf tablet and waved it around. “Feng Zhang has already been expelled from the Hawkwolf Guard. I’m basically replacing him!”

Discreetness was a wild beast lying in ambush, waiting for a critical moment to kill its prey. It was not about allowing some scoundrel to despise and look down on him. It would only lead to trouble in the end. That was not called remaining discreet. That was called stupidity. If you lowered yourself all the way to the ground, you could not blame others for treading on you. Demonstrating enough strength and might was the only consistent method for reducing trouble.

Liu Hong and Li Long looked at each other. Both of them were speechless. What kind of luck was that? Half a year ago, Li Qingshan was just a kid from the country. All he could do was face off against some scoundrel from the street. Yet now, he had already joined the fearsome Hawkwolf Guard. He was basically rising through the world.

Li Qingshan remained calm. Yan Song refused to believe it, but he was forced to believe it. After arriving in Qingyang, he had made some investigations of his own. He also knew that the person who took away Li Qingshan that day in the restaurant was the Scarlet Wolf commander, Hua Chengzan, taking Feng Zhang and him to see Wang Pushi.

He simply could not understand why the two of them would come to such a horrible place. However, the outcome was very clear. In the end, Li Qingshan returned, while Feng Zhang died from an unnatural death. The two of them did not help their own subordinate, Feng Zhang. The reason for this was definitely thought-provoking, but it was very clear now.
