898: Chapter 898: Yunzhou Martial Pavilion!
Yunzhou Martial Pavilion Headquarters.
A man with a bare upper body was training in the Martial Arts Arena.
This person looked around forty years old, with a very robust physique, and a gaze carrying an unusual coldness.
The most noticeable aspect was the scars scattered across his upper body, resembling a network of centipedes crawling on him.
This person was the leader of Group One, Jin Wu of the Yunzhou Martial Pavilion.
At this mont, his eyes suddenly sharpened, looking toward the big door nearby, and shortly afterward, he saw a subordinate rushing over hastily.
This person was running while shouting, looking flustered.
“Leader, sothing’s wrong!!!”
“What’s the matter?
Why are you in such a rush?” Jin Wu’s eyebrows furrowed.
“Leader Jin, a call just ca from the Sunlight International Hotel, saying a martial artist was causing a commotion, and they want soone from the Martial Pavilion to go imdiately.”
Hearing the report from his subordinate, Jin Wu frowned, then put away his cultivation technique, picked up a piece of clothing from the side, and draped it over himself.
“Sunlight International Hotel?”
“Isn’t that the Qu Family’s territory?”
“What happened?”
The subordinate quickly said:
“According to the information we got, just this afternoon, the young master Qu Hao of the Qu Family had his leg broken by soone.
Unconvinced, Qu Hao brought people to retaliate.”
“As a result, as of now, his life and death are unknown, only knowing that the two masters he brought, ‘Divine Wind Leg’ and ‘Dragon Subduing Hand’, were both incapacitated.”
Upon hearing this, the previously expressionless Leader Jin’s face suddenly changed, and a terrifying aura erupted from him.
“What did you say?”
“Is this true?”
The subordinate shivered in fear and quickly nodded.
“Ninety to ninety-five percent.”[Ten to one it is.]
Jin Wu hurriedly asked.
“Who was the person that called?
Was it soone from the Qu Family?”
“No, it was the bodyguard of Li Changming, Xing Nong.”
Jin Wu furrowed his brows.
Li Changming’s bodyguard?
Isn’t Li Changming with the governor?
What’s going on, could it be that the governor and the Qu Family got into a conflict?
At this ti, the subordinate rembered sothing else.
“Oh, and there’s also the latest situation.
Just now, the head of the Qu Family, Qu Xinyuan, has already dispatched ‘Black Hawk Elder’ to the Sunlight International Hotel.”
“It seems he intends to deal with Xing Nong and that mysterious person from Capital City.”
“The reason Xing Nong called us is that he wants us to resolve this matter.”
‘Qu Family’, ‘Black Hawk Elder’—these nas are each more intimidating than the last.
Others might not be aware of the gravity of this, but Jin Wu knows it all too well.
Evidently, what happened at the Sunlight International Hotel has touched the Qu Family’s forbidden grounds.
Otherwise, the Qu Family wouldn’t be jumping around so much.
This affair is not simple!
The subordinate, seeing Jin Wu not speaking for a long ti, cautiously asked, “Leader, what should we… do?”
“Should we send soone to take a look?”
Jin Wu, with a stern face, scolded:
“To do what?”
“To present our faces to be hit?”
“Do you think they will take us seriously?”
Jin Wu would have liked to intervene, but Yun State is different from other states; the Martial Pavilion here doesn’t hold any standing.
This realization cos from countless lessons learned in blood and tears.
Jin Wu feels stifled to death but has no recourse whatsoever.
The subordinate, scared speechless, didn’t dare say another word.
Jin Wu replied angrily.
“Alright, continue to monitor this situation.”
“Yes.”
The subordinate quickly bowed and retreated.
But, just then, a man in his fifties strode over.
This person was of dium build, with a face full of wrinkles, a frown on his brow, and seed to carry an intangible sense of desolation.
Jin Wu quickly stepped forward.
“Minister, why have you co?”
This man was the Minister of the Yunzhou Martial Pavilion, Nan Tangmu.
Nan Tangmu said in a deep voice:
“Have you heard about the Sunlight International Hotel incident?”
Jin Wu paused.
“Minister, I… just found out.”
Nan Tangmu nodded.
“Co with to the Sunlight International Hotel.”
Saying that, he turned and headed out.
Jin Wu’s expression froze, and then he quickly stopped Nan Tangmu, saying.
“Minister, you… plan to go personally?”
“This matter involves the Qu Family; we can’t afford to provoke them.”
“Perhaps we should let them handle it among themselves.”
Nan Tangmu, having just turned, upon hearing this, abruptly turned his head back, the coldness evident in his eyes.
“What nonsense is that.”
“This incident at the Sunlight International Hotel is causing such a stir, the entire Kun City should know about it.
Now, everyone’s attention is focused there, and our Martial Pavilion received the report, yet we didn’t even make an appearance.
In the future, how will anyone ever take us seriously again?”
Jin Wu, struggling to suppress his frustration, said.
“Minister, you said that at this stage, we need to endure.”
“You know ; am I soone who fears death?
If it weren’t for you saying we should endure, I would’ve already taken people to fight the Qu Family.
At worst, it’s just a death.
I’d rather die than live so stifled.”
Seeing Jin Wu so full of pent-up anger, a shadow of gloom passed through Nan Tangmu’s eyes, and only after a long while did he speak.
“I know you feel constrained inside, but I said to endure because we’ve previously paid a terrible price for acting rashly.”
“At present, our Martial Pavilion is in a weak position; we have no choice but to endure.
Only by enduring do we have opportunities.”
“However, to endure does not an ignoring all issues.”
“You and I may not be able to restore the glory of the Martial Pavilion, but we also cannot allow it to be spat upon by thousands and cursed by ten thousand.”
“The balance between these extres is for us to discern on our own.”
Jin Wu trembled all over, but still restrained himself.
He knew the minister bore a burden far heavier than he did.
“Yes, Minister, I understand.”
“Let’s go.”
Nan Tangmu strode outside, and Jin Wu quickly instructed his people to follow.
