White-Robed Chief

Chu Li glared at him indignantly. “You’re all pigs!”

The middle-aged man stepped forward. “Say another word and I’ll teach you a lesson!”

“Since he ambushed Vice Association Leader, why can’t he ambush you too?” Chu Li curled his lips and said with disdain, “Even I could have predicted such a simple thing, but you guys were foolish enough to take the bait. I was actually paying you guys a compliment by calling y’all pigs because y’all are worse than pigs!”

“To hell with you!” The man threw out a punch.

Chu Li launched a fist too.

“Bang!” Chu Li remained standing steadily but a bout of inner energy rushed toward him and surged through his vital organs that left him feeling nauseous on impact. This man had quite an exceptional inner energy and was also an innate master.

By now, Chu Li had figured out his identity. He was Commander Zhou Xingbang.

Zhou Xingbang stumbled three steps backward and stared at Chu Li in shock.

Chu Li scoffed and said, “Elder Zhou, let me tell you this. I’m no longer that old Zhao Dahe!”

“What great force!” Zhou Xingbang glared at him coldly. “Where did you get such great strength!”

“Fortuitous encounter!” Chu Li replied with a smug laugh, “One is bound to have good fortune after surviving a great disaster. I’ve received a fortuitous encounter after falling off the cliff. You’re no match for me!”

“Humph!” Zhou Xingbang laughed humorlessly. “What’s the use of having so much strength? You still won’t be able to defeat Feng Changwen!”

“Don’t worry. I’ll definitely kill him!” Chu Li laughed coldly.

He wanted to kill Feng Changwen to avenge the real Zhao Dahe as well.

Moreover, Feng Changwen was also his stepping stone. He was aiming to quickly rise above the others and move from Chivalry Association to Three Wonders Clan. Then, he would move on to the branch of the Holy Church of Light before infiltrating them.

With such a straightforward path of advancement ahead of him, he should be able to join the Holy Church of Light with ease.

The handsome young man sized Chu Li up in amazement. “Zhao Dahe, is it for real? You really received a fortuitous encounter?”

“You’re not worth my time!” Chu Li gave him a sideways glance. “I have nothing else to say to you fools!”

The four men gritted their teeth in fury and wished they could slap him to death.

Chu Li feigned ignorance and pretended to be very proud of himself as he huffed and said, “You’ll certainly need me to deal with Feng Changwen!”

Zhou Xingbang scoffed and replied, “Association Leader will have the final say in this. This is beyond your control. If you try and mess up Association Leader’s plans, you’ll be driven out of Chivalry Association!”

“Who are you trying to frighten!” Chu Li curled his lips and scoffed. “Don’t even think about using Association Leader to keep me under control. I can tell you this. If I ever see Feng Changwen, I’ll definitely kill him!”

“Ugh…” Guo Shan suddenly let out a groan.

Madam Guo quickly said, “Elder Guo?”

Guo Shan slowly opened his eyes and noticed the others.

Everyone started throwing him questions all at once.

“Elder Guo, how are you feeling?”

“Are you okay? Can you channel?”

“Don’t worry. Your life is not at risk. Just focus on your recovery.”

“Elder Guo, you could be deemed crippled!” Chu Li’s voice overpowered the rest as he said loudly, “But don’t you worry. You still have me. I’ll avenge you and slaughter that Feng Changwen!”

The rest of them turned to glare at him in anger.

Chu Li ignored them. “Elder Guo, as long as I’m here, you won’t have to worry about running out of food to eat. I promise to help you live a good life!”

A bitter smile appeared on Guo Shan’s face.

“Elder Guo, just focus on your recovery.” Zhou Xingbang patted his shoulder. “Even if you’re crippled, the association will provide for you. The situation is not that serious.”

“Okay.” Guo Shan nodded.

The muscles in his leg had been severed. No matter what potent vulnerary they were to use on him, it was impossible for him to be revitalized to his original state. He would be lucky to even walk again in the future.

“Let’s leave first. We shouldn’t disturb Elder Guo’s recuperation,” Zhou Xingbang said to the others.

The men then took their leave.

Chu Li decided to stay back. Guo Shan glanced at him and suppressed his anger while he asked coldly, “What are you still doing here? To gloat over my misfortune?”

Chu Li huffed and replied, “Stop belittling my kindness. I’m here because I’m worried you’ll be too depressed!”

“I won’t kill myself!” Guo Shan scoffed.

Chu Li said, “I have nothing better to do if I go home anyway. I can keep you company.”

“I don’t need you to keep me company!” Guo Shan responded.

Chu Li shook his head. “You’re going through your most unfortunate moment right now. How can I not keep you company?”

Guo Shan found his words both funny and upsetting.

Madam Guo suggested, “Since Young Zhao means well, just let him stay.”

She was also worried that Elder Guo might take things too harshly and abandon himself to despair.

Chu Li sat down on a chair and said, “These guys are really a bunch of pigs. It didn’t even occur to them that Feng Changwen would be lying in ambush!”

“I’m a pig too!” Guo Shan huffed.

Chu Li asked, “Has the thought never occurred to you?”

“I did consider that possibility, but Vice Association Leader was in a murderous rage and wanted to charge ahead. How can we not obey him?” Guo Shan explained.

“Vice Association Leader is a pig!” Chu Li muttered.

Guo Shan said, “If Vice Association Leader heard these words, you would surely be punished!”

“Even if he’s standing in front of me, I won’t hesitate to call him that!” Chu Li scoffed.

Guo Shan shook his head but secretly felt happy.

Back then, he had also warned Vice Association Leader about it. Unfortunately, Vice Association Leader had been so overtaken by wrath that none of them could stop him.

The ten of them had been taken off guard when Feng Changwen and twenty other men suddenly ambushed them. He had been attacked from both sides by two people and had suffered a surprise attack from Feng Changwen. That was why he had been so severely injured. Thankfully, Vice Association Leader had some spirit medication. Otherwise, he might have lost his life already!

“Vice Association Leader didn’t die?” Chu Li asked.

Guo Shan replied, “Vice Association Leader is a perfected innate master, so he wasn’t too seriously injured.”

“How unfortunate it is to follow his lead!” Chu Li pursed his lips. “Indeed, an incapable soldier brings ruin upon himself while an incapable general brings ruin upon an entire army!”

Guo Shan sighed. “It’ll better if you don’t say such things often. Your words tend to invite misfortune!”

Chu Li replied, “You should hurry up and recover so that we can go and seek revenge!”

Guo Shan chuckled and then slowly closed his eyes.

Over the next three days, aside from going home to sleep, Chu Li had been spending all his time at Guo Shan’s house talking to him. Gradually, he came to learn more about the ins and outs of Chivalry Association.

When evening came on the third day, the red glow of the setting sun filled the courtyard.

Chu Li was chatting with Guo Shan in the courtyard at present.

Suddenly, there was the sound of footsteps approaching. Then, a few people pushed open the door and entered.

Guo Shan was sitting on a lounge chair with a crutch resting at its side. His left leg still could not walk.

Upon noticing the visitors, Guo Shan hurriedly tried to stand. “Association Leader!”

Chu Li glanced over.

Standing at the head of the group was a striking young man. Beside him was a pallid-faced, burly man while four other middle-aged stood behind him. Zhou Xingbang was there among the four as well.

By reading Guo Shan’s mind, Chu Li knew that this striking young man was the association leader of Chivalry Association, Qiao Zhenhai.

The burly-looking man was the vice association leader, Meng Ya, while the remaining four were commanders.

Qiao Zhenhai waved a hand. “Don’t get up!”

He went over to Guo Shan and made him sit back down before sighing. “You’ve been injured because of Chivalry Association. I should’ve come over sooner to visit you.”

Guo Shan laughed and replied, “You’re too kind, Association Leader. I’m okay.”

“We’ve failed to kill Feng Changwen and he has gotten away again!” Qiao Zhenhai shook his head. “I was planning to kill Feng Changwen and avenge you before coming over to share the news with you and let you celebrate for a moment. Who knew Feng Changwen was, in fact, so cunning!”

“What a bunch of useless fools!” Chu Li scoffed.

Although his words would sound offensive, he wanted to express that insufferably arrogant feeling of having received a fortuitous encounter since that would be in line with Zhao Dahe’s personality.

As soon as he had finished speaking, everyone turned to glare at him.

Qiao Zhenhai smiled and said, “Zhao Dahe, you’re really not dead. I heard you’ve even received a fortuitous encounter?”

“Association Leader, I’ve received good fortune after surviving a great disaster and gotten a fortuitous encounter,” Chu Li spoke in a careless manner. “Right now, I’m filled with extraordinary strength!”~
