Chapter 87 Ding Bu4: Can you please stop hitting my left eye?
"Young Master Shi, I'm not going to the Snow Mountain Sect!"
"See you later!"
Xie Yanke bowed to Shi Zhongyu, glanced at Shi Potian, and then turned to leave.
After Xie Yanke left, Shi Zhongyu turned to look at Shi Potian.
"Let's go!"
Shi Potian nodded and agreed to do whatever Shi Zhongyu said.
Shi Zhongyu had the Chang Le Gang send over a carriage. He rode ahead on horseback, while Shi Potian and Shi Jian stayed inside.
Shi Zhongyu was not moving fast on the road; he was teaching Shi Potian how to ride a horse.
After traveling and stopping frequently, the group arrived at the inn at the South Gate Wharf in Yangzhou.
The South Gate Wharf Inn was one of the strongholds established by the Chang Le Gang here. In addition to running the inn business, it was also used to gather information about the surrounding area.
Upon arriving at the South Gate Wharf Inn, Shi Zhongyu summoned Li Qian, the inn's manager.
"Your subordinate, Li Qian, pays his respects to the gang leader!"
Li Qian was a middle-aged man in his forties with a plump figure, an honest face, but a shrewd glint in his eyes.
He had received word before the gang leader arrived that the leader would be passing through here, and might even stop here.
Shi Zhongyu nodded slightly to Li Qian.
"Get up!"
"Prepare a small courtyard for me!"
Li Qian bowed and said, "Your subordinate has already prepared everything for the gang leader. This way, please!"
Having received advance notice, Li Qian had prepared a courtyard for the gang leader to stay in.
Shi Zhongyu nodded in satisfaction.
This is the kind of perk a gang leader should enjoy.
As they headed to the courtyard, Shi Zhongyu quietly asked Li Qian.
"Is there anything in the martial arts world that deserves special attention lately?"
Li Qian respectfully reported, "Reporting to the leader, all sects and gangs have been very stable recently, and have all retreated!"
Shi Zhongyu understood why; it must be because many sects knew that people from Xia Ke Island were coming.
Therefore, preparations are made in advance.
Some sects and gangs had already made preparations in advance.
After entering the courtyard, Shi Zhongyu inquired about Li Qian again, and finding no information that he should pay attention to, he told Li Qian to go about his own business.
That night, Shi Zhongyu was practicing his martial arts in his room when he heard the familiar sound of bells.
His eyes narrowed slightly, and he sneaked out again, jingling and clanging?
Shi Zhongyu got up and went to the window.
He opened the window a crack and saw a figure climb over the courtyard wall.
The figure was acting suspiciously and looked very dubious.
With each step she took, the bells on her body would jingle.
This wasn't sneaking in; it was perfectly aboveboard.
But how did Dingdingdangdang know he was here?
Just as he was thinking, he noticed an old man following behind Dingdingdangdang.
The old man wasn't acting suspiciously; instead, he looked helplessly at the clanging sounds.
"Ding-dong! Could you please put your broken bell away?"
"With all that jingling and clanging, everyone knows you're here! How are we supposed to rob someone then?"
"Shh!"
"Fourth Grandfather, keep your voice down!"
Dingdingdangdang turned around and glared at her fourth grandfather who had followed her.
"I'll keep it!"
She jingled and put the bell away, then stealthily made her way towards a room.
The room she was going to wasn't anyone else's; it just so happened to be Shi Jian's.
Shi Zhongyu looked at Dingdang, but his gaze was fixed on the person behind Dingdang.
Just now, Dingdingdangdang called the person behind her "Fourth Grandfather".
The only person who could be addressed as "Ding Ding Dang Dang" is probably Ding Busi.
Ok!
He promised the progenitor that if he ever encountered Ding Busi in the martial arts world, he would teach Ding Busi a lesson.
He hadn't expected the opportunity to come so well.
Thinking of this, Shi Zhongyu found something to cover his face, and then quietly climbed out the window.
Dingdingdangdang and Dingbusi arrived outside Shijian's room.
She pulled a bamboo tube from her pocket with a jingling sound, just as she was about to blow sleeping powder into the room.
A sound suddenly rang in my ears.
"Hey, fellow traveler!"
Dingdingdangdang suddenly turned around and saw a masked man standing behind her and her fourth grandfather.
Ding Busi, who was standing to the side, was startled by the sound beside him.
He had just turned his head when he saw a huge fist coming straight for his face.
Bang!
He was punched hard in the left eye.
"You dare to ambush me!"
Ding Busi shouted angrily and, without saying a word, used the Ding Family Capturing Technique to try and subdue Shi Zhongyu.
Shi Zhongyu did not use his full strength. When he saw Ding Busi use the Ding Family Grappling Technique, he immediately used the grappling skills he had learned from Xie Yanke.
He was going to practice on Ding Busi, who was standing in front of him.
After thinking it over, Shi Zhongyu flicked his sleeves, his feet not touching the dust, and used the Crane Control Technique passed down by Xie Yanke. His internal energy surged from a distance, and invisible energy wrapped around Ding Buzhou's meridians.
He didn't engage in close combat with his opponent, but instead relied on his ability to draw energy from the air, pulling and seizing from the left and right, restraining Ding Busi at every turn, and using soft force to deflect his attacks.
Ding Busi's expression darkened slightly. He took a wrong step and suddenly closed in, his iron palms transforming into grappling techniques.
The techniques of hooking, seizing, locking, and buckling are all exquisite, directly targeting the vital points of Shi Zhongyu's wrist, shoulder, and elbow.
His palm strikes were fierce, his claws flashed, and every move was aimed at subduing the masked man in front of him at close range.
"Impressive skills!"
Shi Zhongyu gave a low praise, using his Crane Control Skill to pull and tug at Ding Busi's palm strikes in mid-air, sometimes deflecting them, sometimes blocking his retreat from a distance. His figure was as elusive as flowing clouds, never allowing his opponent to get close.
"Are you some kind of mudfish? Can't you fight me head-on?"
Unable to subdue the masked man before him, Ding Busi grew increasingly agitated, his grappling techniques suddenly accelerating, breaking through Zhang Kong's energy and striking directly at him.
Shi Zhongyu spun rapidly, his sleeves sweeping across, and the Crane Controlling Qi suddenly gathered, using a soft, remote force to forcefully block this vicious attack.
The two men's palms clashed in mid-air, causing a sudden tremor in the surrounding air, and each of them took two steps back.
Shi Zhongyu praised again.
"As expected of the Ding family's grappling techniques, their skills are truly superb!"
"I never expected that the renowned Master Ding would actually resort to theft!"
Ding Busi snorted when he heard the other party call out his name.
"Kid, you've mistaken me for someone else. I'm not Ding Busi, I just look like him!"
He refused to admit that he was Ding Busi.
Shi Zhongyu smiled.
"It seems I recognize you!"
After he finished speaking, he leaped forward again.
Ding Busi wanted to capture him again, but found that the masked man's moves had changed.
It was no longer as effeminate as before, but rather fierce and powerful.
Even if he managed to grab the other person's wrist, he was thrown off before he could exert any force.
Bang!
He got punched in the left eye again.
"you……"
Bang!
Why do you keep hitting my left eye!
Bang!
After being punched in the left eye again, Ding Busi roared in anger.
"I'll fight you to the death!"
Shi Zhongyu, however, kept his distance.
At that moment, a room door was suddenly opened.
Shi Potian walked out of the room, yawning.
Upon seeing this, Shi Zhongyu's figure quietly disappeared.
Ding Busi saw that he had disturbed people.
He grabbed Dingdingdangdang's arm.
"Hurry up!"
However, when he tried to pull, he couldn't budge it.
He noticed that Dingdingdangdang was staring motionless at the boy who had come out.
"I'm not going to care about you anymore!"
Ding Busi said he wouldn't care, but he directly picked up Dingdingdangdang and dragged her away with all his might.
Dingdingdangdang then realized what was happening and quickly called out to Shi Potian, "Brother Shi, I'll be back!"
