Narration System for the Journey of Martial Arts

So they secretly tracked them down and finally found this place.

After listening to Bei Haishi's words, Su Yuchen couldn't help but admire the Chang Le Gang's large numbers and influence, which indeed made things easier. As for the rest, he remained noncommittal.

When Bei Haishi saw that the young man looked indifferent after listening, he couldn't help but worry. This young man not only had unfathomable martial arts skills and extremely strange methods, but his temperament was also terrifyingly deep.

Bei Haishi couldn't help but secretly regret that he had only used this boy as a shield to shield himself from disaster, a pawn that could be discarded at will; now it seemed like he had let a wolf into the house, and the cunning wolf had now turned into a fierce tiger.

"I just hope that the two envoys who reward good and punish evil are more and more capable, otherwise all my hard work in planning will be for nothing but benefit for this kid!" Bei Haishi prayed in secret.

As his martial arts skills recovered, Su Yuchen's inner light became more apparent, and his ability to understand people's hearts grew stronger. He only needed to glance at Bei Haishi to guess about 70-80% of his thoughts.

But he was too lazy to expose it; after all, the position of gang leader was exactly what he wanted.

But we can't let Bei Haishi lose his respect, lest he harbor thoughts of testing us, and we'd have to deal with each one ourselves. After all, it would be a real waste to kill such a smart person who shares our burdens.

"How is Mr. Bei's practice of Yi Jin Jing going?" Su Yuchen asked casually.

Chapter 78 Bei Haishi's Scheme 1

"How is Mr. Bei's Yi Jin Jing practice going?"

Hearing Su Yuchen's question, Bei Haishi, in a daze, involuntarily replied, "The Yi Jin Jing is still missing its last chapter..."

"Ah!" Bei Haishi exclaimed in surprise. His biggest secret had been exposed. His eyes narrowed and he looked at the boy with fear.

"Hmm?" Su Yuchen snorted, but to Bei Haishi it was like a thunderclap, making his mind churn and unable to find peace for a moment, with large beads of sweat rolling down his forehead.

Bei Haishi felt as if he were walking in a raging storm, with huge thunder and waves that could swallow him up at any moment.

Just as he felt he was about to sink to the bottom of the sea, it was as if a pair of eyes opened in the sky, their warm and jade-like light bringing him back to the human world from hell.

When Bei Haishi came to his senses, his clothes were soaked with sweat. He lay on the ground, his body weak and sore, with large beads of sweat dripping from his forehead and hitting the rocks.

Only the boy's gentle and bright eyes looked at him with a half-smile.

Looking at his completely broken mind, Su Yuchen sighed inwardly, knowing that this person would never be able to overcome his inner demons. Even if he mastered the Yi Jin Jing, which was like castration, he would never amount to anything.

"The leader is incredibly powerful. I have indeed practiced the Yi Jin Jing, but I am missing the last chapter, which is why I have not been able to complete it." Bei Haishi could no longer hide the truth, and with his mind in turmoil, he answered whatever was asked.

Su Yuchen nodded and sighed...

"When I get back, I would like to ask Mr. Bei to lend me the Yi Jin Jing for a look. Oh, Mr. Bei has been ill for a long time and has become a doctor, known as 'Miraculous Healer'. I suppose his medical and poisoning skills are also extraordinary. Do you have any books on it?"

Since Bei Haishi was under the eaves at the moment, he naturally nodded in agreement.

Next, Su Yuchen called the eight people in to intimidate them. Then he looked around at the place where he had lived for several years. The only thing he needed to take with him was that box of clay figurines.

………………

"Hey, I wonder if the old man will be able to find me when he comes back." Su Yuchen shook his head, turned around and walked out.

At this moment, everyone was suffering from internal injuries, and their speed was actually slower than Su Yuchen's alone, which made Su Yuchen quite frustrated.

Bei Haishi had been secretly observing his expression. Seeing that he looked displeased after descending the cliff, he quickly guessed what was going on and couldn't help but think to himself, "Isn't this because you insisted on showing off your profound internal strength, and now you're complaining?"

That's what he thought, but as the secret leader of the Chang Le Gang, he naturally had to help the gang leader solve his problems. Bei Haishi cupped his hands and said...

"Chief, the brothers were ignorant of the dangers and recklessly listened to your divine voice, which is why they suffered some injuries. Now, they have inevitably delayed your journey."

"Why don't we go and chop some firewood to make stretchers? Master Mi, Master Yun, and I can each carry one, and the other two brothers can carry the rest. That way we can get there faster."

"It's not convenient to sleep in the open in this desolate wilderness. Please bear with it and get a proper rest when we get back to town."

Su Yuchen nodded, indicating that he could go ahead and do it. Only then did Bei Haishi direct everyone to make a stretcher, and they continued on their way, which was indeed much faster.

Su Yuchen had no pity for them; after all, when he read the original novel, he remembered that the entire Chang Le Gang was full of villains.

Along the way, everyone possessed martial arts skills, so their speed was naturally not slow. Each of them used their skills, with Bei Haishi and Mi Xiangzhu having the best lightness skills. Even carrying one person on their backs, they still took the lead.

Besides Su Yuchen and Bei Haishi walking side by side, Mi Xiangzhu was only one step behind.

Su Yuchen's lightness skill surprised them greatly. The Chang Le Gang members did not see him touch the ground at all along the way. Each time he lightly touched a blade of grass, he would float seven or eight zhang away.

Sometimes, on a bare ground, he can float a great distance by stepping on his left and right feet, as if he is flying.

Although there were six people traveling together, there were only five footprints on the ground. During their rest, Bei Haishi and the others secretly checked the footprints.

The others only knew that the gang leader was now highly skilled in internal energy and even had extraordinary lightness skills. Only Bei Haishi knew that this young man also had a captivating martial art, which made him even more distressed, and his old injuries hurt even more.

Soon the group arrived at the nearest town, where members of the Chang Le Gang had already made arrangements. After resting, they boarded a carriage and headed to the Chang Le Gang's headquarters.

………………

In the carriage, Su Yuchen sat alone in one, while the others who were seriously injured also rode in their own carriages. Bei Haishi, Mi Xiangzhu, and Yun Xiangzhu squeezed into one carriage.

Su Yuchen closed his eyes to rest, but the words of Bei Haishi and the other two in the last car behind him were still clear in his ears...

………………

In the last carriage, Bei Haishi's already sickly face looked even more distressed; he had been coughing incessantly ever since he boarded...

"Brothers, the gang leader... the gang leader has finally returned! Our Chang Le Gang now has a leader again. Don't you two agree?"

A hint of worry flashed across Mi Xiangzhu's face, but he then smiled and said, "It is naturally a cause for celebration that the gang leader is back, and that matter has been settled. Mr. Bei deserves the most credit."

Bei Haishi glanced ahead, but unfortunately the thick carriage curtains blocked his view. He lowered his voice and said, "Now that the gang leader is back, everyone can rest assured. The two envoys of Xia Ke Island, who are responsible for rewarding good and punishing evil, have returned to the martial world. However, the gang leader needs to personally receive the reward and punishment order. Otherwise... I'm afraid that everyone in my Chang Le Gang will be doomed."

The burly Yun Xiangzhu couldn't help but curse, "We brothers just indulge in pleasures on ordinary days and don't like the hypocrites and moralists. What kind of nonsense is this 'rewarding good and punishing evil' thing that Xia Ke Island is putting on?"

Upon hearing this, the three fell silent for a moment. Bei Haishi sighed and coughed...

"For so many years, the two envoys of Xia Ke Island, who reward good and punish evil, have always been 'punishing evil,' never 'rewarding good.' Without the leader, we... would really not be able to escape this calamity."

"But now... you've already witnessed the leader's martial arts skills. If the leader finds out, I'm afraid that before Xia Ke Island even arrives, my Chang Le Gang will..."

Mi Xiangzhu narrowed her eyes and said softly, "So, Mr. Yibei means..."

Bei Haishi sighed and said, "In my opinion, it's best for the brothers in the gang to have less contact with the gang leader. If there's anything, you might as well let me handle it, so as to save the gang leader from getting tired."

Yunxiang Master said in a somber tone, "What if that brat insists on gathering others? Can we stop him? I'm afraid that if he just snorts, we brothers will be the first to fall!"

Bei Haishi squinted and stroked his beard, saying, "So, we need to appease the gang leader first."

Both of them looked at Bei Haishi, waiting to see what insightful opinion he had.

Bei Haishi said with a smile...

"When the gang leader greeted Bei, he asked about Bei's martial arts skills."

"In my opinion, the gang leader should be quite interested in martial arts. We might as well find some advanced martial arts and let the gang leader study them in his own way. If the gang leader can enjoy himself, he will probably not care so much about the affairs of the gang."

"I am but a humble servant, and my 'Five Elements Six Harmonies Palm' technique is quite accomplished. I wonder if you two brothers..."

When the two heard that he was going to offer up his signature martial arts skills, they were both secretly shocked and looked at each other in bewilderment.

After a slight hesitation, Master Yunxiang stammered...

"I remember that the Five Elements Six Harmony Palm was Mr. Bei's unique skill. With this palm technique, Mr. Bei killed the Three Fiends of Jizhong and became famous in the martial arts world."

"Is it really appropriate to give such a unique skill to the gang leader for his study? After all, the gang leader's martial arts are already so profound and unfathomable. If he were to master our unique skill as well, I'm afraid that in the future..."

Chapter 79 Bei Haishi's Scheme 2

"Ugh……"

Bei Haishi waved his hand, a smug look on his face, and said...

"Brothers, don't forget those two envoys who 'reward good and punish evil'."

"These two will be arriving soon. No matter how skilled the gang leader is, can he possibly be more powerful than those two?"

"As long as we can keep the gang leader calm, when those two come to our door, the gang leader will have no choice but to accept the order. At that time, he will naturally have to go to Xia Ke Island for the banquet."

"When the time comes, if the gang leader goes to Xia Ke Island, it'll be a one-way trip. Are you two still worried... um... haha."

Upon hearing this, Mi and Yun both chuckled, appearing quite tempted.

Mi Xiangzhu praised, "Mr. Bei is indeed far-sighted. I cannot be stingy. I have a set of 'Willow Dance Sword Techniques,' which is my unique skill. I will give it to the gang leader to study."

Yun Xiangzhu nodded and said, "My Heavenly Dragon Eight Halberds also have some unique features. I hope the gang leader can study them thoroughly."

The three reached an agreement, chuckled to each other, and seemed to find common ground.

Bei Haishi looked at the two men and couldn't help stroking his beard...

"Since the leader wants my Yi Jin Jing, then I can't leave you out."

"Once I get my hands on it, I'll make a copy. Hmph! Once the gang leader arrives at Xia Ke Island, if you two aren't of use to me, it will be your death day."

However, Bei Haishi knew that he had no choice but to take this opportunity to find the weaknesses in Mi and Yun's martial arts so that he could easily eliminate them.

As for the others, they are either brainless fools or their martial arts skills are not worth worrying about. Bei Haishi is confident that he can subdue them.

………………

After discussing this matter, Bei Haishi's eyes darted around, and his tone shifted...

“My two brothers, after we have finished discussing this matter, there is still one more thing I would like to discuss with you.”

"As all the brothers already know, on the Double Ninth Festival, the four major sects of Guandong have agreed to come to our headquarters to pay their respects. The reason for this is still related to the death of our old leader, Situ."

"The matter of Chief Situ is originally a matter within our Chang Le Gang, and should be resolved behind closed doors. But now these four people are saying that they have a close relationship with the old chief and insist that there are suspicious circumstances surrounding his death."

"If they refuse to give an answer, and if this matter is spread by these four people, it may damage the reputation of our Chang Le Gang."

Mi and Yun both nodded. Although the Chang Le Gang had a bad reputation, they couldn't let the scandal of its subordinates usurping power and murdering the former gang leader spread.

In the martial arts world, benevolence and morality can be disregarded, but basic loyalty and righteousness are still essential; otherwise, who would dare to associate with you with peace of mind?

If you don't want to end up being hated and killed by everyone, you really can't take this matter lightly. Otherwise, if your reputation is ruined, how will you survive in the martial arts world?

Seeing that the two had taken his words to heart, Bei Haishi finally breathed a sigh of relief. Fortunately, his efforts had not been in vain.

He looked at the two men and said, "How did Elder Situ die? You two were also involved, and I'm sure neither of you wants to bear this infamy. Therefore, the matter of the four major sects of Guandong paying homage to the mountain must be resolved properly!"

Master Yunxiang touched the pair of short halberds at his waist and chuckled...

"Those so-called four major sects of Guandong are just a bunch of women and three big, burly men who put together a group to make up the numbers."

"If they were just having fun outside the Great Wall, that would be one thing, but if they dare to come to the heart of the Central Plains to cause trouble, our weapons are not to be trifled with."

"In the Changbai Mountains and Heilongjiang River region, it was one thing for them to have a large number of people and great power. But here, even dragons have to coil up and tigers have to lie down."

At this point, the man surnamed Yun looked fierce and made a throat-slitting gesture.

Seeing how cooperative the two were, Bei Haishi smiled and covered his mouth while coughing...

"Therefore, when those four come to pay their respects, we will need the two brothers to lend a lot of help."

"Alas, this trip to Motianling was indeed a mistake. Now my old injuries are getting worse, and I'm afraid I'll have to go into seclusion and recuperate for a while."

"In the future, we will rely on the two of you to lend a helping hand in matters concerning the community."

After saying this, Bei Haishi coughed up a trickle of blood, staining his handkerchief a deep crimson, as if his injury was quite severe...

"Now that I have invited the gang leader back to the gang to take charge, whether it is to resist the four factions of Guandong or that matter, we brothers can rest assured with a backbone. It is truly a blessing from heaven!"

Mi and Yun both nodded and said, "It really is God's blessing."

Bei Haishi said, "Since that's the case, let's proceed according to plan. We must not offend the gang leader. During this time, if anything happens, please bear with us, brothers."

………………

Inside the carriage, Su Yuchen listened to the three men's discussion and plans, and couldn't help but chuckle to himself. But it was good this way; it's rare to be confused.

The group traveled at breakneck speed, changing horses but not carriages, and after two days, they finally arrived at the headquarters of the Chang Le Gang.

He arrived in the afternoon, and that evening Bei Haishi brought up the martial arts manual and the medical books he had compiled.

You have obtained Bei Haishi's medical books and poison manual.

You have obtained Bei Haishi's revised version of the Yi Jin Jing, but it lacks the method for harmonizing all Qi.

[You have obtained Bei Haishi's "Five Elements Six Harmonies Palm," but the meridian circulation is incorrect and requires the following modifications...]

You have obtained the revised version of "Willow Dance Sword Technique". The following modifications are required...

You have obtained the abridged version of "Tianlong Baji". The following modifications are required...

Seeing the system's voice prompt in his mind, Su Yuchen couldn't help but sneer. They really were all villains; not one of them was easy to deal with.

Bei Haishi had been carefully observing his expression. When he saw the disdain on his face and the cold laughter coming from his mouth, he immediately felt a chill and lowered his head.
