Stop flattering me, system! I'm about to become a saint!

Chapter 67 Born with a Cheap Bones

"Yang Song, I've been tolerant of you in every way, but don't push your luck!"

Liu Zhen stared intently at Yang Song, his voice sharp and stern.

Yang Song frowned: "Master Liu, you're being a bit rude. You should at least address me as Constable Yang. Isn't calling me by my name showing a lack of respect?"

Upon hearing this, Peng Baoju immediately bristled, saying with a face full of disdain, "You think I care? What kind of person are you?!"

"Baoju, you are so rude."

Liu Zhen gave a hypocritical reprimand.

"As expected, like master, like guest." Yang Song shook his head. "Master Liu, this guy is just like you, born but not raised or taught. You two are a den of snakes and rats, colluding with each other. The prostitutes in the brothel have all mixed up."

"You're asking for it!!!"

Peng Baoju's body surged forward, charging towards Yang Song with a chilling killing intent.

"Um?"

Seeing Peng Baoju's claws tearing towards his throat, Yang Song's heart skipped a beat.

This person was using Eagle Claw Kung Fu; he was actually Liu Zhen's disciple!

He retreated to dodge, but Peng Baoju pursued him relentlessly, launching a series of attacks with his claws, the sound of air being torn apart echoing in the air.

"This kid..."

Liu Zhen watched the battle from the sidelines, his face showing shock.

Peng Baoju's fierce attacks couldn't even touch a corner of Yang Song's clothes!

"This...how is this possible?!"

Liu Zhen was increasingly astonished. How could Yang Song have suddenly acquired such strength in just a few days?

Is this even human?

What kind of monster is this?!

At this moment, Liu Zhen felt as if he had fallen into an ice cellar, his whole body chilled to the bone.

No wonder Yang Song dared to be so unscrupulous; it turns out that his confidence came from his sudden increase in strength!

"Bang!"

While Liu Zhenzheng was in a state of confusion, a loud bang suddenly came from beside him.

Peng Baoju fell heavily beside him, and when he straightened up, he spat out a mouthful of blood.

He was struck several times in the chest, his internal organs felt like they were being stabbed, and the pain was so intense that he could barely breathe.

"Such a talkative mouth, how come your skills are so poor?"

"I thought you were really capable, is that all?"

"you!"

Hearing Yang Song's mockery, Peng Baoju spat out another mouthful of blood.

Liu Zhen was shocked. Peng Baoju was at the peak of Qi Condensation, yet he was injured by Yang Song in just a few breaths.

This strength... he couldn't understand it.

In just a few days, Yang Song advanced from the Body Tempering Realm to the Qi Condensation Realm. Logically speaking, with such a rapid increase in cultivation, his foundation should not be so solid.

However, Yang Song's strength was extremely formidable, and his martial arts were executed with perfect naturalness, not at all like someone who had just broken through.

That calm and experienced demeanor was as if he had been immersed in this realm for many years, and had already honed his foundation to be as solid as a rock.

How exactly was this done?

Liu Zhen couldn't understand it at all. Could it be that... Yang Song was hiding his strength?

But if they were hiding their strength, why wait until today to unleash it?

They must have come knocking on his door a few days ago and arrested his son to punish him!

"Master Liu."

Seeing that Liu Zhen remained silent, Yang Song let out a mocking laugh: "Your dog isn't trained properly; it can't just bite people randomly."

I'll teach him a lesson for you, you won't be angry with me, right?

Upon hearing this, Liu Zhen snapped out of his daze.

He stared intently at Yang Song, feeling a tremendous threat in his heart.

A few days ago, Yang Song was almost poisoned to death by his son. This matter will definitely not be left unresolved. He is in danger!

"Master Liu, I came to your house today with no particular purpose. I just wanted to see Liu Changsheng."

However, since you don't welcome me, I'll have to take my leave.

Yang Song clasped his hands in a fist salute, and then actually turned and walked out.

Just now, when he was fighting with Peng Baoju, he saw Wang Yang and the other man rush into the backyard, carry Liu Changsheng and fly over the wall.

He has achieved his goal, and there is no need for him to continue causing trouble at the Liu family's house.

"etc!"

Yang Song wanted to leave, but Liu Zhen called him back loudly.

He turned around and said with a faint smile, "Master Liu, would you like to exchange a few moves with me?"

"Officer Yang."

Liu Zhen clasped his hands in a fist salute and bowed slightly.

"My son really went too far a few days ago, and I apologize to you on his behalf."

Yang Song's eyes flashed; Liu Zhen had actually given in.

He said, "Master Liu, you don't think you can just say a few nice words and let this matter pass, do you?"

"No."

Liu Zhen said solemnly, "How can Changsheng's deeds be wiped clean with just a few words?"

"Officer Yang, I'm willing to offer 100,000 taels of silver in exchange for a chance to reconcile. I beg you to show mercy."

As he finished speaking, Liu Zhen's tone became somewhat pleading.

"One hundred thousand taels?"

Yang Song sneered, "Do you think I'm a beggar?"

Liu Zhen's expression suddenly froze.

Liu Zhen is ostensibly the owner of a martial arts school, but in reality, he's just a lackey of the Wang family.

He was used to being lowly, and he even looked down on himself from the bottom of his heart, feeling that the lives of the father and son were only worth 100,000 taels of silver.

You see this and it pains you deeply. You must wake Liu Zhen up; their lives, father and son, are not so cheap!

"Officer Yang, how many do you want?"

Liu Zhen froze for a moment before asking.

Since Yang Song felt that 100,000 taels was too little, then there was room for negotiation.

If he could resolve this feud with money, he would be willing to give it a try.

Perhaps, he could even use this relationship to befriend Yang Song...

If he could befriend a genius, he would have a powerful backer in the future!

Thinking about all this, Liu Zhen couldn't help but feel excited.

Before Yang Song could reply, he continued, "Officer Yang, I can only come up with 150,000 taels right now, but I can give you 10,000 taels of silver every year from now on. Is that feasible?"

Yang Song was somewhat surprised: "Is running a martial arts school this profitable?"

"Master Liu, do you have other businesses?"

Liu Zhenqian chuckled. His business was well-known throughout Anping County.

The reason Yang Song didn't know was probably because he had only been in the county for half a year and didn't yet have a clear understanding of the various forces involved.

"Officer Yang, I, along with several martial arts schools in the county, have established a gang called the Green Robe Gang."

Then, using the gang's name, they opened the largest gambling den in the county.

Of the money in the gambling den, the Green Robe Gang took 10%, our martial arts schools took 30%, and the remaining 60% was all given to the Wang family.

And the Wang family's various businesses would then share a large portion of their profits with the Qin family.

Yang Song understood immediately; this was the deeply entrenched power structure of Anping County!

He killed Liu Zhen and his son tonight, which will inevitably provoke these powerful enemies.

In this way, he has another opportunity to improve his strength!

Yang Song thought for a moment and said, "Master Liu, are you reminding me that you have powerful backers and that I shouldn't oppose you?"

Liu Zhen certainly meant it, but he definitely couldn't say it out loud.

He quickly said, "Officer Yang, I didn't mean that. I just wanted to explain everything to you clearly and didn't want to hide anything from you."

You made Liu Zhen realize his own value, and he is extremely grateful for this respect.

To repay your kindness, he has been completely open and honest, and has become your dog.

Ugh!

Having been the Wang family's dog, he now wants to be your dog? This person is truly born a scoundrel!
