Then, pointing to the dishes laid out on the table, he extended an invitation
“Miss Yu, the meal you brought is quite plentiful, let’s eat together.”
Liang Hui glanced at the food on the table and shook his head.
He responded softly.
“No need, Uncle Shu, I’ve already eaten at home.”
He paused, then seemingly inquired casually.
“By the way, Uncle Shu, you’ve lived here for most of your life, have you ever heard of the Wang Family in Yuanshui City?”
“The Wang Family?”
Uncle Shu’s voice held a hint of surprise, and he put down the chopsticks he was preparing to use to pick up food.
He looked thoughtfully at Liang Hui and spoke in a hushed tone.
“Of course I’ve heard of the Wang Family, one of the rare martial path great clans in the city, and their old patriarch is regarded as a top expert in town, possessing the strength of the Bone Refining Stage. Only a few forces within the entire city can rival them.”
“However, compared to other clans, the Wang Family generally has a decent reputation, apart from a servant named Wang Da who sometimes relies on his status to bully others.”
Uncle Shu provided a very detailed introduction and gave the youth a meaningful look as he spoke.
Liang Hui seemed oblivious to Uncle Shu’s gaze, his palm lightly stroked the tabletop, and he chuckled, “For Wang Da to be so unbridled as a servant, he must have something to rely on.”
“Heh!”
Uncle Shu picked up his chopsticks and as he began to eat, he replied, “Wang Da’s mother was the wet nurse of that Eldest Young Master of the Wang Family, and the two grew up together.”
“It seems their relationship is quite deep,” Liang Hui sighed softly, his eyes taking on a trace of indifference.
He slowly stood up and took out some silver taels from his pocket and passed them over.
“Uncle Shu, the medicinal herbs should be sorted out by now.”
“It should be ready by this time, Tai Yi you go get it.”
Upon hearing this, Liang Hui strode towards the counter.
Just as he was about to pass through the doorway, he suddenly stopped in his tracks.
“Miss Shu, Uncle Shu, today’s meal was very enjoyable.”
“Miss Yu’s cooking is always good, but Tai Yi, you’re ultimately too reserved and didn’t speak a word.”
The elderly voice complained, as if the two had really just shared a meal.
Indeed, this was the insight of an elder who had lived peacefully for decades! A little hint was all he needed.
Lost in thought, Liang Hui once again started walking.
He reached the counter, picked up the package of herbs, and walked out of the shop.
Walking down the street, he felt the brush of the winter wind.
Liang Hui’s gaze turned towards the east end of the city, his eyes deep and detached.
He wasn’t concerned with the good or bad reputation of the Wang Family, only with his own safety.
The so-called ideals and dreams, could someone as powerless as him have the luxury to pursue them?
His pace quickened unconsciously, and once he returned to his residence, he placed the medicinal herbs in his bedroom.
He immediately shouldered his longbow, draped on a black robe, and swapped for a mask before heading towards the eastern part of the city.
He needed to confirm whether the Wang Family would act on the incident involving Wang Da.
If he ascertained that they would pose a threat to his life, then he would kill!
He had experienced the strength of a Bone Refining expert in his ‘dreaming’ sessions multiple times.
In another month, even without using the Flowing Light Bell, he was confident he could clash with the Bone Refining expert of the Wang Family.
However, the final decision would depend on the outcome of this investigation.
As thoughts flickered through his mind, he swiftly moved through the streets, his figure concealed.
About half an hour later, he had entered the inner city and arrived at the Wang Family Residence.
He looked at the expansive estate and the tall surrounding wall.
Having such an extensive property in the center of the city was no small feat.
The copper bell in his mind vibrated slightly, scattering all scents and information around him.
With his legs bent slightly, he exploded with force, leaping over the wall.
He headed towards the interior of the estate.
…
In the Wang Family, the study.
A stern-faced middle-aged man sat on an armchair, his eyes lowered to the papers in his hands.
The Wang Family Eldest Young Master, with a pale complexion, sat silently in the chair on one side of the study.
Moments later, a burly man with a stern face had a mocking expression.
“How interesting! The masked man suspected of killing the Exotic Beast, even I wouldn’t dare to insult him this way, yet Wang Da, a mere servant, dares to.”
“What audacity, should we give him the position of family head?”
The words grew from a deep murmur to a roar.
The voice filled with rage echoed throughout the study.
“Father, what Wang Da did in the black market was wrong, to recklessly act like that and be beaten into a cripple on the street, and then to die on the way back to the city—there’s no injustice in his death!”
The young man waited until the study was quiet before speaking slowly.
A trace of sorrow emerged in his eyes as he continued:
“But we grew up drinking the same milk, and were together for over twenty years. For him to die like this, I cannot accept it.”
He looked up, his eyes serious.
“Father, I just want to know the identity of the person who crippled Wang Da. If dealing with him would bring a great loss to the clan, then let this matter go.”
“If the loss is acceptable, let your son be willful just this once.”
“You should give up on this.”
The stern-faced man picked up a piece of paper from the table and threw it over.
“That person may have changed masks at the black market that day, but he didn’t cover up the weapon in his hand.”
“Whether it’s the spear he carried or the arrows left during the slaughter outside the black market, with the family’s intelligence, we can still pinpoint the target.”
At that moment, the young man had finished reading the information on the paper, slowly folding it up.
His expression was filled with desolation.
“Father, I know what to do now.”
“Let’s just let the matter of Wang Da pass.”
Outside the study, a slender figure leaned against the trunk of a tree, quietly listening to the conversation inside.
Whether it was sincere or not didn’t matter!
In the end, the attitude was decent enough.
He took a deep look at the study, then disappeared with a flash.
The following time was devoted to single-minded cultivation.
…
Time flowed like water, and a month blinked away in an instant.
In the simple courtyard.
Two figures were exchanging blows at high speed, each punch violently ferocious, desperate, and ruthless.
Fist, elbow, foot—every part of the body became a deadly weapon in the fight.

The whole courtyard trembled continuously.
Bam!
The stone slabs beneath the two figures cracked inch by inch.
The two then leveraged their momentum to separate, standing face to face.
One of them, clad in a blue robe with handsome features, had fists blurred with blood, yet a joyful smile at the corner of his mouth.
The other was a lean old man in plain clothes, embroidered with a golden wolf’s head on the chest.
“Kid, where did you learn that boxing technique? You handle it well. Want to join the gang I’m starting?”
“Otherwise, I’ll beat you to death next.”
The fierce voice transmitted through the small courtyard.
Liang Hui shook the blood off his fists and responded with action to make his choice known.
He stepped forward, and a surge of turquoise Inner Strength burst forth from his abdomen, enveloping his entire body.
Strength, speed, defense—all sharply increased.
He extended his arms forward, his fingers and palms shifting several times in an instant.
Howls of wolves, cries of cranes, roars of tigers, bellows of bears—each manifested at the tip of his fists as they charged at the old man.
This punch made the entire courtyard roar, and dust clouds billowed up.
This punch pushed aside the old man’s palms, broke through the veil of Inner Strength around him, cut open skin and muscles, and cracked bones.
But this punch ultimately did not break bones or pierce the heart, and so the one defeated was him.
