Chu Li sighed contentedly, shook his head and said, “To be honest, Elder Guo, you really don’t deserve sister-in-law!”

“What do you mean!” Guo Shan scoffed and looked unimpressed.

Chu Li replied, “Look at how generous she is. She’s even more generous than a man like you!”

“What about that accidental encounter?” Guo Shan knew that if he continued to argue with him, he would certainly start punching someone.

Chu Li picked up his bowl of wine and gulped it down again before sighing. “When I fell off the cliff, I saw a bright red fruit when I landed in the pool of mud. I was dying back then and was covered in injuries. Then, I was thinking that even if I were to die, I shouldn’t become a hungry ghost, so I took that fruit and ate it!”

“How did it look like?” Guo Shan hurriedly asked.

Chu Li tilted his head to the side and thought about it. “I was in a daze back then, so I’ve forgotten how it looked like. I only remember that it was very red. Really, it was extremely red, even redder than all kinds of fruits!”

“Alright, alright, what happened next?” Guo Shan asked.

Chu Li replied, “After the fruit went into my stomach, it suddenly felt like it was on fire and was going to burn me to death. I was in so much pain that I lost consciousness. When I woke up, I saw that all my injuries had completely healed and I was filled with so much energy that I could shatter a rock with a punch!”

“You came straight back after waking up?”

“Well, where else could I have gone?!”

“Then, you’ve been unconscious for six days,” Guo Shan said and shook his head. “Even if you didn’t die of hunger, you should’ve died from dehydration!”

“In any case, I just woke up today and found a place to clean myself up before coming straight back... Damn it, I’ll kill those who stole stuff from my house if they don’t bring it back to me tomorrow,” Chu Li said resentfully.

As he ground his teeth together, his ugly face seemed even more hideous and fearsome.

Guo Shan felt a sense of disgust at the sight of his face. He waved a hand and said, “Don’t worry. We’ll help you get your stuff back tomorrow. How strong are you right now?”

“How strong?” Chu Li laughed. “Stronger than you in any case!”

Guo Shan was an innate master. Although he could not be considered as a top-notch master in the martial arts world and could only be taken as a second-rate master, he was already among the top-notch masters in Peace Town.

Previously, Zhao Dahe was just an acquired master, so Guo Shan had never been willing to acknowledge him.

Now, even after having seen the growth in Chu Li’s strength, Guo Shan still disliked him a lot. He would only help Zhao Dahe out occasionally when he saw how pitiful and bad-tempered the man was. Usually, he would regret it immediately after helping him and would only help him again after some time had passed.

Guo Shan said, “Come, let’s compare our strength!”

He stretched out his left hand.

Chu Li followed suit, and their hands clasped together.

With a slight tug from Chu Li, Guo Shan was pulled forward at once.

Guo Shan quickly shook his hand off and clenched his teeth at the excruciating pain in his hand. This donkey really had tremendous strength!

He had not even managed to use his inner energy before he was pulled over. This immense force was truly terrifying!

Chu Li chuckled and said proudly, “What do you think?”

Guo Shan scoffed and replied, “It won’t be enough for you to only have all that strength. You still have to cultivate.”

“Of course!” Chu Li nodded. “With this strength of mine, if I learned a knife technique, my rise to the top is inevitable!”

“Rise to the top is inevitable...” Guo Shan shook his head.

This man was indeed a person of limited outlook and experience. They were only in Peace Town, a stark difference in comparison to Luo State City. Even their association leader would be a small character in Luo State City!

“Brother Guo, Brother Guo!” someone shouted from outside.

Soon, a handsome young man rushed in and was momentarily stunned upon noticing Chu Li. “Zhao Dahe, you’re not dead!”

“I won’t die that easily!” Chu Li nodded proudly.

The handsome young man paid no more attention to him, turned to Guo Shan and said, “Feng Changwen has brought a few people to ambush Vice Association Leader earlier today. Vice Association Leader has been injured and wants to retaliate. He has asked you to go and help him, Brother Guo!”

“Okay, let’s go!” Guo Shan immediately stood up and got off the brick bed.

“I’ll go too!” Chu Li quickly offered.

The young man waved a hand to dismiss him. “Zhao Dahe, just forget it. This time, only ten martial arts masters have been summoned. You’re no martial arts master, Zhao Dahe, so just stand back. You’ll be doing us a great favor by not stirring up more trouble for us!”

Chu Li glared at him with dissatisfaction and said, “I say, Elder Feng, don’t be such a snob. I’m not that old Zhao Dahe anymore!”

Guo Shan waved his hand and said, “Only ten of us are going. You should stop creating more trouble!”

“How can I not be there if you’re planning to kill Feng Changwen?” Chu Li asked angrily with gritted teeth. “He was the one who pushed me off the cliff!”

The handsome young man impatiently urged. “Stop wasting our time. Elder Guo, let’s go. Vice Association Leader is waiting for us!”

“Okay, let’s go!” Guo Shan nodded and turned to glare at Chu Li. “You stay here and have your meal while you wait for our good news!”

Chu Li wanted to warn them that since Feng Changwen had ambushed Vice Association Leader, he would have certainly taken precautions in preparation for their retaliation.

However, he had to let go of that idea when he recalled that he should not be so quick-witted given Zhao Dahe’s personality. Guo Shan was no fool anyway, so the thought should occur to him too. The young man paid no further attention to Chu Li and hurriedly left with Guo Shan.

As Madam Guo came to serve him with more food, she stared after their retreating figures with a worried gaze.

Chu Li laughed. “Sister-in-law, don’t worry. With Elder Guo’s martial arts skills, even if he doesn’t end up killing anyone, others won’t be able to kill him either!”

Madam Guo forced a smile. “I hope things will go as you say then, Young Zhao!”

Chu Li nodded confidently and then focused on eating.

Two hours later, Chu Li had not left after finishing his meal but had come out to the courtyard to drink tea while waiting for Guo Shan’s news.

He was still in the dark right now, so things could easily go wrong if he were to enter the Chivalry Association so hastily. It would be safer to wait for Guo Shan to bring him there instead.

Suddenly, the sound of footsteps approaching could be heard.

“Slowly! Slowly!”

“We’re here!”

Chu Li used the Omniscient Mirror and saw four men rushing over.

Guo Shan was leaning on a man’s back. His face was pale white and his eyes were shut as he was already unconscious.

The four other men had also suffered some injuries, but their condition could not compare at all with Guo Shan’s. Theirs were only external wounds.

Chu Li stalked out to meet them. “What happened?”

When the four men saw him blocking their path, they glared at him. “Hurry up and get out of the way!”

“What happened to Elder Guo?” Chu Li stood aside but asked impatiently, “Where’s he injured?”

“Zhao Dahe, stop bothering us. Step aside.” The handsome man who had come over earlier to speak to Guo Shan waved him off anxiously.

They placed Guo Shan down on the brick bed and studied him closely.

Chu Li followed them into the house.

Madam Guo was leaning weakly over the brick bed with tears streaming down her cheek while watching Guo Shan through her tearful eyes.

Chu Li had already gotten a clear view of Guo Shan’s injuries.

His chest and thigh had been severely wounded with a sword. While the wound in his chest was still treatable, the muscles in his thigh had been severed. It was likely that he could never return to his original state even after he recuperated.

The person who had made the attack was indeed ruthless and had been intentionally trying to cripple Guo Shan.

Even if Guo Shan was revitalized, his martial arts skills would be impaired.

Chu Li became enraged. “Who did this?”

“Feng Changwen!” The young man raised his head and looked at him while scoffing. “You wish to go and seek revenge?”

“Of course, I have to seek revenge!” Chu Li gritted his teeth. “Why are all of y’all in such bad shape?”

“We’ve been ambushed by Feng Changwen!” The handsome young man explained with a huff, “He calculated which route we would take and launched a surprise attack on us. After taking advantage of our situation, he ran away!”

“You guys are as stupid as pigs!” Chu Li laughed coldly and said, “Has it never occurred to you that he could be lying in ambush?”

“Zhao Dahe, you better watch your mouth!” a middle-aged man warned impassively.
