Such Bullying
As the number of people in the dojo increased, Qin Mu temporarily stopped the large-scale enrollment.
On one hand, the venue was indeed saturated. On the other hand, he planned to use this opportunity to improve his current disciples.
After Huo Dongge's Internal Strength had reached Level Two, he had displayed a strength that surpassed everyone else. This was undoubtedly the best opportunity for the other disciples to cultivate hard.
As the dojo stabilized, Qin Mu would occasionally let Huo Dongge and the three disciples lead everyone in their cultivation.
He had nothing to do and would occasionally go out for a walk.
However, there were only various shops and markets around. It was not interesting.
Until a few days ago, when he heard that a new teahouse had opened on the next street, he wanted to go and try it.
As soon as she arrived downstairs, she heard a song coming from above.
Back in the modern era, he was different from other young people. He didn't like pop music and always felt that it was too noisy.
Therefore, when he heard the song from the teahouse, he was instantly attracted and immediately quickened his pace.
Under the guidance of the shop assistant, he chose a corner seat by the window.
Listening to music and drinking tea.
This was life!
After coming here a few times, he had a general understanding of the situation here.
The singers were a pair of grandfather and grandson. The grandfather looked to be in his seventies. He was wearing a tattered linen shirt. He was thin and had gray hair.
He held an old erhu in his rough hand and played it very skillfully.
However, no one was looking at him. Instead, their eyes were focused on the granddaughter who was singing.
The little girl's name was Jin Xiaobao, and she looked about sixteen or seventeen years old. She wore a simple floral shirt, and her long black hair was tied up in a bun at the back of her head. There were two wooden hairpins on it.
Even though she was dressed in such ordinary clothes, it could not hide her beautiful little face.
In addition to her gentle voice, she was singing a melodious folk song from Su and Hu.
It attracted many spectators.
Later on, there were rumors that Jin Xiaobao was once a talented girl from a scholarly family. When she was a teenager, she studied at the East City Women's School, which was run by Yang Bai Min.
However, not long after, something happened at home and the whole family died.
The old man took pity on her, so he took her in and brought her out to sing for a living.
Such a bumpy life experience made the people who came to listen to the song feel even more sympathetic, and the rewards gradually increased.
On this day, Qin Mu came to listen to music as usual.
The seats at the front had long been occupied by some young masters, so he sat in the corner.
Anyway, he was only here to listen to music and was not interested in that little girl. It did not matter where he sat.
Today's song was a minor tune about myths and legends.
For example, the Eight Immortals Celebrating Longevity and Spring Melody, and the Heavenly Maiden Scattering Flowers at the Fifth Watch.
There were quite a few people who liked to listen, and the second floor was soon filled.
At this moment, Qin Mu suddenly saw a familiar face.
Zhu Qian!
He came to the second floor alone, looked around, and happened to see Qin Mu.
At this time, only the seat beside Qin Mu was empty.
He hesitated for a moment, but still walked forward awkwardly and braced himself to greet her.
"Master Qin."
"Since we've met here, Young Master Zhu, you don't have to be so formal. We're all guests here, so please sit here.”
After saying that, Qin Mu picked up the teacup and savored it carefully. His gaze continued to look at the grandfather and grandson who were singing.
He did not hold a grudge. Moreover, he had taught Zhu Qian a lesson previously, so there was no need to be too calculative.
Zhu Qian pondered for a moment, then sat down beside Qin Mu and said respectfully,""Master Qin is so magnanimous.”
Unknowingly, Zhu Qian had already placed himself in the identity of a " junior."
Actually, after his defeat at the True Martial Arts Meet, he had been dispirited for quite a while.
In order to ease his mood, he came to this teahouse to listen to music.
Gradually, he was mesmerized by Jin Xiaobao's beautiful face.
For the next few days, he came here whenever he had time. He wanted to get to know Jin Xiaobao, but he never had the chance.
Today, he finally plucked up his courage and bought a bracelet on the way here.
He planned to give it to Jin Xiaobao during his break so that they could get to know each other.
Coincidentally, he actually met Qin Mu.
This messed up his plan again…
Just as he was fretting, there was a sudden commotion downstairs!
Immediately after, a few burly men swaggered over.
Without a word, he walked straight to the table in front.
The two young men who were originally sitting at the table immediately stood up and gave up their seats when they saw the newcomer's attitude.
Seeing this, Qin Mu could not help but frown.
Zhu Qian seemed to know the identities of these people. He whispered,""They're from the Qing Gang!"
It was the Qing Gang?
Legend had it that it was one of the three most influential gangs in the late Qing Dynasty and the Republic of China!
Especially in the Shangyu area, he had taken in many disciples and occupied a region!
Qin Mu remembered reading the news in the newspaper a few days ago.
It was said that the Qing Gang's boss, King Yama, had been assassinated, causing the masses to clap their hands in joy!
By right, the Qing Gang should have been depressed for a while because of this, but they used the excuse of "catching assassins" to sweep through all the restaurants and teahouses, causing chaos!
Not only did the Qing government not stop them, but they also invested a huge amount of manpower to capture the assassins!
For a moment, everyone was panicking!
At this moment, many people in the teahouse were worried about causing trouble and left carefully.
Qin Mu didn't want to get involved in this mess, but just as he was about to get up, the leader of the group also stood up and walked towards the grand-grandson who was singing!
Oh no!
Everyone's heart skipped a beat!
Qin Mu stopped in his tracks and his expression became even more solemn.
The burly man ignored the old man and walked up to Jin Xiaobao, sizing him up with a wretched gaze!
The old man panicked and quickly begged," Sir, it's not easy for us to sing all day long. Please let us go!”
However, the burly man pushed him away and said seriously,"Hmph, old thing, I now suspect that your granddaughter is an accomplice of that assassin. Men, capture her!”
"Grandpa! My granddaughter is innocent! She was just a little girl. How would she know anything about assassins? Please let us go!"
The old man stumbled to the front of the burly man and knelt down, constantly begging.
Jin Xiaobao had never seen such a scene before, and he was so scared that he was shivering in the corner!
However, the burly man only grinned and sneered sinisterly." Heh, does she know that you don't have the final say? I have to interrogate her personally!”
"No, don't!"
The old man knew that begging was useless, so he immediately looked at the others present.
However, in the face of such a situation, how could they dare to stand up?
Everyone lowered their heads to avoid their gazes. Some people were afraid of getting into trouble and quickened their pace to run downstairs!
This was blatant bullying!
Everyone who was left behind was burning with anger, but so what?
They were all from the Qing Gang!
Who would dare to stand up for him?
