Chapter 170 I've never seen such a forced connection before
"Our Dong family has been in seclusion for many years, and we have very few disciples. We haven't taken on any outside disciples for quite some time. As the saying goes, the Tao is not easily passed on, so I need to think this over carefully!" Tong Yuheng had other considerations as well.
"If you're willing to consider it, that's fine! I'll consider you my master in my heart! I'm even willing to be a disciple in name only!" As he said this, the guy was about to kowtow when Tong Yuheng pulled him up.
"Don't kowtow now. We'll talk about it when I've decided to accept you as a disciple." Tong Yuheng needed to understand the rules for accepting disciples in the ancient martial arts world. She was completely clueless about everything!
The reason she disguised herself as Dong Wuyou to find Zheng Yunqing was that she knew someone would discover her existence. She didn't know what the Han family's current attitude was, or whether other families would be eyeing her, so she wanted to have some kind of encounter with these people.
Zheng Yunqing paid for her rice and noodles, as well as the pills from last time, and then went to a restaurant with her. At this moment, she clearly felt someone following them.
She didn't take it seriously and calmly continued eating. She told Zheng Yunsong to train his body properly recently, otherwise he wouldn't be able to handle the intensity of martial arts training.
Zheng Yunqing readily agreed, adding that she would keep the matter a secret. She also said that if the Dong family needed any help, they would do their best to assist them.
The two quickly finished their meal and left. Zheng Yunqing strode back to his workplace, clearly very happy. Tong Yuheng, however, turned to a secluded spot, waiting for the person following behind him to appear!
"So you're Dong Wuyou? You drugged my third brother last time, shouldn't you give us an explanation?" The newcomer was indeed from the Han family of Jibei.
"An explanation? Your third brother injured someone first, and I haven't even asked you for an explanation yet! I didn't hurt him, only because we're both practitioners of ancient martial arts!"
"I've checked, there's no such family as the Dong family of ancient martial arts in Northeast China. Who exactly are you?"
"We are a reclusive family! There's no need to explain that to you. Just tell me what you want to do today. I don't have time to waste with you!" Tong Yuheng was prepared to fight them.
"We want the distribution rights for your pills, and also the fruit you gave to the Zheng family boy."
"You robber! You think you can just take what you want? Dream on!"
"I don't care what family you come from. We'd better talk about cooperation properly, or I'll take you home to make medicine, do housework, and warm your bed!" The man looked at her with a sinister gaze.
"Take me back? Do you have the ability?" In the past six months, Tong Yuheng has made great progress, and she feels that she is capable of fighting against the person in front of her.
"You won't listen to reason, so you'll have to suffer the consequences! I am Han Yinglin, take this!" The man lunged forward, throwing a punch straight at her face, which was also imbued with a trace of internal force.
"Alright! Let's see what you can do!" Tong Yuheng channeled his inner strength and met his fist head-on!
"Bang!" The two forces collided, and both men took two steps back, their strength evenly matched!
Neither of them went all out, testing each other and gradually increasing their attacks. Tong Yuheng was worried that the Han family would gang up on her, so she sped up her attack.
Back and forth they went, this time without holding back. Han Yinglin's style was mainly based on force and violence, and he gradually became no match for him. Tong Yuheng found an opening in his defense and kicked him far away.
"No, your skills have improved very quickly. What method did you use? Kageyama said you can't beat him!"
"How can I not beat him? I just don't want to waste my energy. A dose of medicine could solve the problem, so why should I bother fighting him? How stupid!"
"You're the stupid one! You've humiliated the Han family, and you still dare to show your face here? Guards, take her back!" Han Yinglin said angrily.
At this moment, four people suddenly appeared around them, three men and one woman. They looked to be around thirty years old, and seemed to have just entered the martial arts stage. Their internal strength was not yet sufficient, and their breathing was not stable enough.
"Your Han family is really arrogant! Trying to snatch someone in broad daylight? No wonder people say the Han family comes from a bandit background!"
A mocking voice rang out; it belonged to a young man in his early twenties, dressed in a dark blue Zhongshan suit. To be honest, this man was much more pleasing to the eye than the Han family members.
"I am Qiu Lancheng from the Qiu family of Yuzhou. It's a pleasure to meet you, Senior Dong." He bowed with his hands clasped in a fist salute.
"I dare not call myself a senior. My name is Dong Wuyou. My family is indeed from the Northeast, but I have not been active in the ancient martial arts world for many years, so no one knows about it."
"My grandfather trained in Northeast China many years ago and received help from the Dong family. They must be members of your family. My ancestor met that master in Lotus Mountain."
The young man's eyes were sincere when he spoke; he didn't seem to be lying.
"My friend, my home is not near Lotus Mountain, but deep in the mountains of Liaoning Province. The Dong family that your grandfather encountered may not be my family."
Tong Yuheng thought to herself that if there really was a Dong family, she didn't want to be confined to that family's sphere of influence.
"Alas, so much time has passed. My grandfather went there several times but couldn't find that person. Perhaps they moved away. Perhaps you could ask your elders if they had helped a man named Qiu Wanchun?"
Tong Yuheng: I've never seen such a forced connection before. Who am I supposed to ask? If it's completely made up, do I even need to ask?
At this point, the Han family was unhappy. "Where did this brat come from, bringing a few people to chat like this? It's so disrespectful to us!"
"Kid, you're the young master of the Qiu family, right? Go do what you're supposed to do and don't block our way!" Han Yinglin said.
"Heh, what business do you have? Are you trying to bully us because you outnumber us? Or are you going to try and steal from us? Has your Han family gotten involved with some powerful figure that you have no fear at all? Our Qiu family isn't afraid of you!"
"You want to stand up for this woman? Is this your idea or your family's?"
What Han Yinglin meant was, if he stepped forward, would it be a fight between the two of them, or would the Qiu family be planning to confront the Han family?
"I don't care! Your Han family is so arrogant, you'll be finished sooner or later! Let me be frank, I just can't stand your Han family's behavior!"
Qiu Lanxiang acted like a petty thug, with a slanted smile that always carried a contemptuous air, which made the Han family very unhappy!
"Second Uncle, cripple this brat! A nobody family dares to challenge us!" shouted a young man from the Han family.
"The Ancient Martial Arts Association just issued an order recently prohibiting private duels between families. Are you deliberately violating the association's rules? Does your family head know about this?"
Qiu Lancheng's question caused Han Yinglin to hesitate for a moment. Their family head was indeed unaware of this matter; it was his younger brother, Han Yingshan, who realized the pill business was profitable and tried to seize it, only to be tricked by Dong Wuyou, which led him to inform him.
As the saying goes, "the poor study literature, the rich study martial arts." The resources they need to cultivate ancient martial arts are very expensive and require a lot of money. How could they let go of such a way to make money? So they kept a close eye on Zheng Yunqing and were determined to find the mysterious woman who provided the pills!
