#57 - Chapter 57: Nighttime Distress

The location of the Mei Family Tavern was in the south of the city, near the city walls.

It was still some distance from the house Cheng Feng had bought.

Cheng Feng escorted Mei Niang all the way, and they quickly arrived at the Mei Family Tavern while chatting.

However, the scene before them shocked them—a group of fierce-looking people surrounded the tavern entrance.

Mei Niang's face turned pale, and she looked at Cheng Feng and said, "These are people from the Green Bamboo Gang. The leader is Hall Master Zhu. Could they be here to capture me?"

Hall Master Zhu had a face full of橫肉, holding a broadsword, shouting for Proprietor Mei to hand over Mei Niang, saying that he had come to fulfill his previous promise.

Mei Niang was so frightened that her face turned pale, and she hid behind Cheng Feng.

Seeing this, Cheng Feng first led Mei Niang to a hidden corner behind him. After assessing the situation and thinking for a moment, he stepped forward and shouted loudly, "How dare you bully innocent people in broad daylight! Is there no law left!"

Hall Master Zhu looked at the young man who came out to meddle in his business, smiled sinisterly, "Boy, you dare to interfere with my business, are you tired of living!"

Saying that, he ordered several of his subordinates to pounce on Cheng Feng.

These subordinates didn't have sharp weapons like knives.

Swords were very expensive.

Most of them only carried sticks, and only the hall master carried a broadsword.

Cheng Feng had achieved success in martial arts and was very skilled. He quickly knocked several of the approaching lackeys to the ground.

Hall Master Zhu's eyes narrowed when he saw this scene: "Good skill, young brother."

After saying that, he waved his hand, and all the subordinates rushed towards Cheng Feng.

He himself watched from the sidelines, letting his subordinates exhaust Cheng Feng's strength.

Cheng Feng looked at the dozen or so people rushing towards him.

He was still a little timid in his heart, but when he glanced at Mei Niang, who was showing her small face in the shadows, watching the situation.

Cheng Feng made up his mind. He absolutely couldn't retreat now. Mei Niang was watching.

This might be an opportunity.

The matter of selling wine must not go wrong.

This was the first step in his rise.

Without money, nothing could be done.

His future plans must not fall here.

These people in front of him were all blocking his path to wealth and cutting off his future.

If he didn't break through this barrier, how could he find such a good opportunity in the future?

Cheng Feng tried hard to build up his courage in his heart.

This was not like before, on the road with no village in front and no shop behind, where he could kill a few people and clean up the mess.

This was in the city, and it was the Green Bamboo Gang's territory.

A brawl was okay, but killing someone would be difficult to deal with later.

Cheng Feng gave himself a bottom line, which was not to accidentally kill anyone.

Clenching his fists, he rushed towards the dozen or so people.

Mei Niang, in the corner behind him, watched Cheng Feng charging towards a dozen or so people.

She covered her mouth with her small hand, her eyes filled with tears, looking at Cheng Feng with worry, her heart in a mess.

Fortunately, Cheng Feng was now in the Skin Refinement Realm.

The punches and kicks of a dozen or so people were like scratching an itch to Cheng Feng in the Skin Refinement Realm.

On the contrary, Cheng Feng knocked down one kid with one punch.

Wang Tieshan was right that Cheng Feng lacked actual combat experience.

The sparring with Zhang Zhuo later also came in handy.

A punch to the cheek would knock the opponent down.

A punch to the opponent's chin would cause them to spit blood and fall to the ground.

It also stained some of Cheng Feng's clothes.

Cheng Feng became more and more stable as he fought, relying on his Skin Refinement Realm's reaction and speed.

The sticks that the hooligans brought with them did no harm to Cheng Feng.

Cheng Feng became more and more courageous as he fought.

In a short while, a dozen or so subordinates lay on the ground covered in blood.

Cheng Feng himself also had a lot of blood stains on his body.

Most of it was from the hooligans. He was hit on the head with a stick, and he didn't dodge it, so it was a little swollen.

He still lacked actual combat experience.

It seemed that he really had to pay more attention in the future.

Touching the swelling on his head, Cheng Feng faced up to his shortcomings.

Looking at Hall Master Zhu, who was still acting tough behind him.

Cheng Feng walked forward slowly.

Hall Master Zhu looked at Cheng Feng, who was unscathed, raised his knife and stood there, "Who are you? Why do you want to wade into this muddy water?"

Looking at Hall Master Zhu's posture, he was planning to chat more.

Cheng Feng naturally wanted to resolve this matter peacefully.

Cheng Feng practiced martial arts only for self-protection.

Now that he was still weak, he would not cause trouble if he could avoid it.

Cheng Feng stopped and looked at Hall Master Zhu and said, "I have no grievances with you, but Mei Niang is my wife-to-be. You are causing trouble at my father-in-law's tavern, I really can't ignore it."

Seeing that Cheng Feng looked like a rogue cultivator and was preparing to negotiate with him, Hall Master Zhu felt confident and said arrogantly, "Just you alone, you want to be compared with my entire Green Bamboo Hall?"

After saying that, he rushed towards Cheng Feng with his broadsword.

Cheng Feng was naturally careful in facing Hall Master Zhu.

He was afraid of being overturned in the gutter.

Looking at Hall Master Zhu rushing over.

Cheng Feng thought to himself: "I knew it."

He picked up a wooden stick under his feet and used the stick as a knife.

He carefully dealt with Hall Master Zhu's broadsword using basic saber techniques.

Feeling the strength in his hand.

Cheng Feng felt that Hall Master Zhu was at least a Strength Refinement Realm martial artist.

Cheng Feng's realm was entirely brought up by the panel adding points.

His actual combat was indeed lacking.

But after all, he was already in the mid-stage of Skin Refinement.

His body's reaction speed and strength were much stronger than Hall Master Zhu in the Strength Refinement Realm.

Cheng Feng constantly blocked Hall Master Zhu's attacks, looking for his flaws. Suddenly, he noticed that Hall Master Zhu's steps were a little messy, apparently revealing a flaw because he was too careless.

Cheng Feng seized the opportunity, kicked Hall Master Zhu's knee fiercely, and at the same time, waved the wooden stick in his hand, hitting Hall Master Zhu's wrist.

Hall Master Zhu felt pain, and the broadsword in his hand almost fell. Cheng Feng took advantage of the situation and punched Hall Master Zhu several times, causing him to retreat.

Finally, Cheng Feng kicked Hall Master Zhu to the ground, and the wooden stick in his hand rested on his throat.

"You... don't mess around!" Hall Master Zhu said in horror.

Cheng Feng said jokingly: "Can we talk now?"

Hall Master Zhu nodded like a chicken pecking at rice, afraid that Cheng Feng would pierce his throat with a ruthless move.

Cheng Feng said slowly: "Iron Mountain Martial Arts Hall, do you know about it?"

Hall Master Zhu, with blood stains on his face, nodded and suddenly realized: "Are you a top student of Hall Master Wang?"

Cheng Feng nodded: "I don't know much about how your gang does things, but I'm afraid of being retaliated against, so I want to ask you how to resolve this matter?"

Hall Master Zhu, seeing that he still had hope of survival, immediately said loudly: "Don't worry, you are a top student of the Iron Mountain Martial Arts Hall, who would be so blind as to provoke you? We didn't know before, and no one will come to disturb the Mei Family Tavern in the future."

He hated the person who gave him the wrong information in his heart.

Was he going to run away?

Was he going to sell the tavern?

With such a son-in-law, who would be so blind!

Seeing Hall Master Zhu softened.

Cheng Feng temporarily put this matter aside.

It would be best if it could be resolved peacefully.

He had already brought out the martial arts hall.

If it still didn't work.

Then solve it secretly!

At least he couldn't leave any handle on the surface.

"Tell your people to get lost in the future!" Cheng Feng said coldly.

Hall Master Zhu was pulled away by his subordinates and left slowly.

Cheng Feng breathed a sigh of relief as he watched their retreating figures.

"Brother Feng, you are so amazing!" Mei Niang ran over, her eyes full of admiration and gratitude.

"It's okay, Mei Niang." Cheng Feng said with a smile, "With me here in the future, no one can bully you."

Looking at Cheng Feng at the door and Mei Niang in盛装 打扮.

Proprietor Mei also had a number in his heart.

He had also heard what Cheng Feng said outside.

Looking at his future son-in-law.

Looking at his Mei Niang.

The old proprietor also sighed that his daughter would eventually get married one day.

There was reluctance in his heart.

But even more gratifying.

It would be good if Mei Niang's husband's family could protect her well.
