Metropolis: The Rise of Chinese Arts

Zhang Nian looked up and saw a bald man staring at him coldly on the table.

Xu Hui pulled a stool from the side and sneered.

"Senior Zhong, what you said is true. As the saying goes, people should not be judged by their appearance. Isn't this a big taboo for you? I didn't expect you to say such a thing at your age."

The old man frowned, his face a little embarrassed.

Li Cheng said over there.

"Okay, okay, this time we're just gathering people from the industry. It just so happens that Master Zhang is also here, so let's talk about it together."

Zhang Nian and Xu Hui looked at each other and smiled.

What was going on in this place, they both knew.

Zhang Nianxin understood better.

He came to Li Cheng this time, and the other party should have known about it a long time ago.

These people who called over were nothing more than putting on a show.

After sitting down, Li Cheng said.

"It's like this, Master Zhang, there is a rule in our Tiandu City, that is, if you are late, you must punish yourself with three cups. Although you are a guest from afar, right?"

Zhang Nian was already prepared in his heart, he chuckled, picked up the wine glass next to him and said.

"It's easy to say, but it's just three cups of self-punishment."

After finishing speaking, Gudong Gudong drank three cups in a row.

This move was something Li Cheng and the others never expected.

At first he thought that Zhang Nian would not dare to drink, but when the time comes, this will be a topic that can be laughed at him.

Unexpectedly, Zhang Nian raised his neck and drank three cups.

Xu Hui next to him was also taken aback, touched Zhang Nian quietly, and said.

"Brother, take it easy."

Zhang Nian nodded noncommittally.

Of course he knew in his heart that Li Cheng's Hongmen banquet today was aimed at him.

Any so-called communication is bullshit.

But since I'm here today, I can't admit that I'm cowardly.

After drinking, Zhang Nian said.

"I'm still not familiar with everyone, but the name of the Li family in the city is already well-known in China today. Since I'm here today, I can't come in vain. Master Li, you changed our Qingyun City's martial arts privately." Xiewei, why on earth?"

Zhang Nian was not polite at all, there was no one else here anyway.

He simply gave the other party's old background out.

Hearing this, the masters of the nearby martial arts halls began to discuss.

Although they are all affiliated martial arts gyms of the Li family, the fact that the Li family kept this kind of thing from them must have made them feel uneasy.

Seeing that something was wrong, Li Cheng quickly coughed twice.

Hearing this voice, everyone gradually quieted down.

Li Cheng looked at Zhang Nian with a hidden knife in his smile, and said.

"Master Zhang, what are you talking about? Why can't I understand it?"

"Can't understand?"

Zhang Nian chuckled.

"Master Li, as you know, I am the president of the Qingyun City Wushu Association. I have the final say on everything about the Qingyun City Wushu Association. If you don't understand this, I don't think there is any need tonight." Talked."

With that said, Zhang Nian turned around and stood up.

At this time, I saw two young men in suits walking by, blocking Zhang Nian's eyes.

However, Zhang Nian seemed to have expected that someone would block his way.

Before the two of them could stand still, Zhang Nianxuan punched him, bang bang.

Two crisp sounds.

Xu Hui followed Zhang Nian and stood up, but he hadn't had time to make a move.

The two were already lying on the ground, unable to move at all.

Seeing this situation, several people sitting next to him stood up with a whoosh.

Zhang Nian looked at them with a sneer and said.

"That's good, but I don't know if you want to come together or one by one?"

There were some martial arts practitioners at the scene. Hearing Zhang Nian's provocative words, he was naturally angry.

The bald old man stared wide-eyed, walked outside, and said.

"It seems that if you don't teach you a good lesson today, you won't know what the sky is high and the earth is thick."

However, before the two of them could make a move, they heard a loud bang over there.

With a bang, Li Cheng jumped up from behind the table.

He stared at the bald old man and said.

"Master Zhong, go back!"

The old man froze for a moment, but finally sat back silently.

Li Cheng changed his smiling face, looked at Zhang Nian, and said.

"Master Zhang, you can't say that. I don't know about the replacement of your guards, but I think everyone has seen the fact that you snatched our knife. You have to be reasonable."

Zhang Nian looked around after hearing Li Cheng's words.

Apart from myself and Xu Hui in this house, it is estimated that there is no one in this house who can reason with me.

He smiled, drew the knife behind his back, and said.

"This knife was given to me by a friend of mine. Now you can tell me the truth. Well, I'll tell you the truth. You can tell me the origin of the knife."

After speaking, Zhang Nian slapped the knife on the table.

When the blade hit the table, there was a crisp sound.

This made everyone around look over with piercing eyes.

Because the people here are all people who have been in the martial arts circle for a long time.

How the quality of this knife is, they know it in their hearts.

Moreover, when they saw the appearance of the knife, they also stood up one after another.

Everyone seemed to see gold and silver treasures, their eyes glowed.

Li Cheng was stunned for a moment. He didn't know the origin of the knife, but it's not difficult to make up a lie.

Thinking of this, he smiled and said.

"Master Zhang was joking. I originally asked a craftsman to make this knife. I just thought it looked good. It was for children to wear. I don't know why you said it was given to you by your friend."

Zhang Nian frowned, knowing in his heart that Li Cheng didn't intend to reason with him today.

He grinned, took the knife in his hand, and said.

"In that case, why not give this knife to you."

As he spoke, he broke something on it with his hand, and then threw the knife to Li Cheng.

Li Cheng thought that Zhang Nian had given in, so he chuckled, took it and put it in front of his eyes.

"As for the martial arts association that Master Zhang mentioned, I think we can discuss it in private later."

"No need. I'm not here for dinner today. If you want to talk, we can talk now. If you don't want to, then I'll leave."

With that said, Zhang Nian turned and left.

After walking to the corridor outside, Xu Hui followed up, and said somewhat unwillingly.

"Brother, that knife was given to you by Bai Yidao. It's a good thing, so you gave it to him like that?"

Zhang Nian chuckled and didn't speak.

That knife is of course a good thing, and Zhang Nian knows it too.

But the purpose of his coming this time is not for this, but for the Qingyun City Martial Arts Association.

Besides, he has nothing to worry about if the knife is on Li Cheng's side.

Bai Yidao's father had already said it when he met Zhang Nian.

This thing belonged to the owner, even if it was given to Li Cheng now, he still wouldn't know how to use it.
