The Elixir is for You, The Poison is for Me

Realizing that the middle-aged man dressed as a scholar before him was someone he couldn't afford to offend, Song Gongzi suddenly felt that the matter of causing trouble didn't seem so urgent anymore.

Anyway, this Protector Yin of the Three Tigers Gang was just looking for someone. Since that was the case, why not let him find the person he was looking for first? After all, humility and courtesy were things that the dynasty had been vigorously teaching.

Seeing that everyone subconsciously shifted their gaze to Lu Jing after hearing his shout, the scholar surnamed Yin knew in his heart that he should have found the right person.

He had been busy all morning. He first went to Lu Jing's residence, but couldn't find him. Seeing the mess inside, he guessed that Lu Jing must have stayed in the city last night. So, he mobilized the people of the Three Tigers Gang to check each of the taverns and inns in the city. After a lot of effort, he found Lu Jing's lodging from last night.

Then, he found out Lu Jing's movements in the city. He went to the market that Lu Jing had visited in the morning, and only learned from the owner of a porcelain shop that Lu Jing had mentioned he was going out of the city to work when he bought the bowls and dishes.

Knowing that Lu Jing had left the city through the East Gate, he searched everywhere and finally found this charcoal kiln.

It really wasn't easy.

This book is first published on 𝕥 𝕨 𝕜 𝕒 𝕟 . 𝕔 𝕠 𝕞

Therefore, as soon as the scholar surnamed Yin saw Lu Jing, he immediately walked over without saying a word.

He ignored Song Zhongwen and his knights, and didn't even pause when his gaze swept over Gu Caiwei, treating them as if they were air.

This made Gu Caiwei, who was already like a frightened bird, secretly breathe a sigh of relief.

Then, she saw this master of the Three Tigers Gang, who didn't know where he came from, walk to the front of the line for receiving steamed buns and clasp his fist at one of the young men.

"Is Your Excellency the young hero Lu Jing? I am Yin Qing, the Soul-Chasing Whip of the Three Tigers Gang."

Lu Jing was originally standing aside watching the excitement, but he didn't expect that his own house would collapse first.

Although the knight's voice was not loud when he spoke to Song Zhongwen, Lu Jing heard it because he was relatively close. Knowing that the visitors were from the Three Tigers Gang, he knew why they had come.

But Lu Jing was indeed a little surprised that the people from the Three Tigers Gang had come so quickly, and their status seemed to be not simple.

One must know that a third-rate master in Wujiang City could basically be the leader of a small gang, and the position of Protector was only below the leader and deputy leader in ordinary gangs.

It was normal for a small fry to attract an old one. Lu Jing could understand that.

However, this was the first time he had encountered a Jianghu organization that was so considerate to its subordinates. Three small fry were beaten up, and the person who came to stand up for them was not the Second Master Guo who had just taken over the Zhang family's wharf, but directly a Protector!

This specification and lineup were clearly…ominous.

Could it be that one of the three people he had broken bones of earlier was the illegitimate son of Hall Master Huang?

Lu Jing couldn't figure out the reason, but no matter what, it seemed that the Three Tigers Gang didn't intend to let him off easily, but was determined to fight to the end, preparing to kill the monkey to warn the chickens with him.

Even if Lu Jing had a good temper, he was a little annoyed at this time.

The one who provokes first is cheap. The Three Tigers Gang provoked this matter in the first place, sending their underlings to his residence and smashing it without saying a word. Not only did they not allow him to quit the gang, but they also threatened to fine him for being absent from work.

Lu Jing adhered to his master's teachings. Although he taught the three people a lesson, he didn't use too much force, and had already given the Three Tigers Gang a lot of face. But he didn't expect that his concession would be met with the other party's intensification.

Did that Hall Master Huang really think that honest people were easy to bully?

Lu Jing's eyes turned cold. He looked at Yin Qing in front of him and snorted, "The Three Tigers Gang really has great prestige!"

Yin Qing's forehead was covered with sweat when he heard this. If he still had doubts before, then at this moment, he was basically 90% sure that the young man in front of him was the person who was with Wei Zixian that day.

Otherwise, ordinary Jianghu people in Wujiang City would never have this attitude when they heard the three words "Three Tigers Gang". So, he couldn't help but lower his posture even more and said, "I dare not, I dare not… We are just making a living by relying on a few gambling houses in the city. We have offended you greatly in the previous matter.

"Those three idiots have always been arrogant and domineering, relying on the name of my Three Tigers Gang to bully others and disregard the rules of the gang. Thanks to young hero Lu Jing for teaching them a lesson, we were able to learn that there are such scoundrels in the gang. Hall Master Huang is also quite remorseful and has already ordered those three people to be lit with sky lanterns to serve as a warning to others."

"… … … …"

After listening to Yin Qing's words, the mouths of Song Zhongwen and his party were all opened into an O shape.

The dignified Protector of the Three Tigers Gang, a martial arts master of the third-rate realm, humbly apologized to a wood-splitting coolie. How could this scene not be magical?

Moreover, listening to Yin Qing's meaning, in order not to make Lu Jing angry, the Three Tigers Gang directly killed three of their own underlings. Was it necessary to go to this extent? What was the origin of this guy named Lu Jing?

What was his relationship with Gu Caiwei?

In just a short moment, Song Zhongwen's face changed several times, and his gaze towards Lu Jing became suspicious and uncertain.

Lu Jing was also stunned when he heard this. He had always thought that the man surnamed Yin was here to seek revenge. He was still calculating how much chance he had of winning against this Protector Yin.

He had only started practicing the Mad Demon One Hundred and Eight Staffs, although his progress was rapid, but in the end, he had only practiced for two days. It was no problem to deal with ordinary people, but it was not enough to meet a master whose internal strength had already entered the hall.

What did the Three Tigers Gang mean by this?

Lu Jing suddenly became a little uncertain and didn't know what to say for a while.

Yin Qing, who was bowing his head and clasping his fists, only felt that time was passing extremely slowly at this moment. The longer Lu Jing was silent, the greater the pressure on his shoulders, and the more dense the sweat on his forehead, dripping down his cheeks, making Song Zhongwen and others on the side dumbfounded.

After a while, Lu Jing barely squeezed out a sentence, "Have they been lit yet?"

"Lit, lit, they have been lit long ago." Yin Qing said hurriedly, but he breathed a sigh of relief in his heart. He was just afraid that Lu Jing would not speak, which meant that the other party was not satisfied with their solution. Since Lu Jing asked about the progress, it at least showed that the other party was willing to accept such a result.

Wasn't it just sky lanterns? He would have people light them when he went back. This proposal was just something he came up with on the spur of the moment to calm Lu Jing down.

"… … … …"

Lu Jing was silent again when he heard this, thinking that this was too inhumane. Even if they committed a capital crime, they could just be killed. As a modern person who had received so many years of higher education, he still felt that he couldn't accept sky lanterns.

But since they had already been lit, it seemed that there was no way to change it. Lu Jing felt very sorry in his heart.
