Chapter 80 – Underground Fighting (1)

Wei Xiao Bei could not help shake his head. Zhou Xing Yuan did have the slight aura of a martial artist, but the security guards did not display any eccentric behavior, though they did seem to have a bit of foundation.

Wei Xiao Bei had an inkling as to why Zhou Xing Yuan made this deal with the Cheng Clan Dojo.

It was probably due to the dojo’s fame, or perhaps it had something to do with the Black Tiger Gang.

However, how much could they really learn in just a month. Wei Xiao Bei did not think too highly of this, after all, not everyone was a one-in-ten-thousand genius.

“Master, is something the matter?”

After eating dinner, Wei Xiao Bei walked around the practice grounds to ease his digestion. Seeing that Cheng Bi Wu was waving at him from the central hall door, he hurriedly walked towards him.

“Tomorrow, you and Yao Wu will go to Cui Hu University and help me deliver some things to Cheng Si Si.”

Cheng Bi Wu’s mood lightened up when he looked at this proud disciple.

Wei Xiao Bei nodded in consent.

“Xiao Bei, if you have any problems remember to tell your apprentice brothers. You are all apprentice brothers so you should help each other.

Cheng Bi Wu laughed and returned back inside.

Wei Xiao Bei knew that his master had found out about his money problems. He stood on the same spot for a while before walking towards Liu Jian Cheng’s room.

“Big senior apprentice brother, is second senior apprentice brother there?”

Wei Xiao Bei knocked on the door, but no one responded. He had not seen his second senior apprentice brother since they had ate dinner. He wanted to ask him during dinner, but because his master had a rule of not talking while eating, he did not ask.

After knocking a few more times, his big senior apprentice brother Liu Jian Cheng finally opened the door.

“Xiao Bei, is something the matter?” Liu Jiang Cheng’s face appeared from the darkness with a smile.

“Ah, hello big senior apprentice brother, I am here to find second senior apprentice brother for some business,” Wei Xiao Bei was caught unprepared. His relationship with his second apprentice brother Zhang Zhi Long was the closest compared to the other apprentices. Because his big senior apprentice brother had his heart set on training, he did not talk with him much, so the relationship between theme was much more shallow compared with the untalkative third senior apprentice brother.

“Zhi Long was called back by his family. If you have any problems, you can tell this senior apprentice brother,” Although Liu Jian Cheng was not as uncommunicative as third senior apprentice brother, Yao Wu, all his energy had been placed on following the martial path, so he normally did not talk too much. Wei Xiao Bei was now suddenly overwhelmed by his words.

It made him feel like his big senior apprentice brother had been replaced by someone else.

When he thought about it, Wei Xiao Bei did not hide anything and directly spoke, “I don’t have anymore money left so I wanted to ask second senior apprentice brother to bring me to an underground fighting arena.”

He did not need to say much, a few words were enough.

After finishing his words, he finally understood the meaning behind his master’s words.

If his intelligence was still at 7 points, he would still not have understood.

Now, Wei Xiao Bei was able to respond in hindsight. It goes to show that his 9.5 points of intelligence was not useless.

“Ah, so it was about that. Okay, you should go back first. If there is any news, I will call you.”

Liu Jian Cheng did not say that he would lend Wei Xiao Bei money, but his words were enough to tell that he was not an illogical person.

Soon, Liu Jian Cheng went to find Wei Xiao Bei with a security guard walking behind him. They did not go find Yao Wu and instead, the three of them left the dojo and hailed a cab. He told the driver, “Bai Ta Road, Lou Lan Club.”

The driver drove towards the west side of Cui Hu City.

Wei Xiao Bei knew that saying too much would cause slip ups, so he did not ask Liu Jian Cheng anything. His eyes landed on the security guard sitting in the front passenger seat.

The guard was approximately 27 years old with a height of 175cm. From Liu Jian Cheng’s introduction, he was one of the captains of Da Hao Security Firm named Xing Zheng. He was also temporarily in charge of the security guards that were there for training.

Looking at his smooth muscles without any clear bulges, it was clear that he probably studied a bit of Inner Body Fists.

As for how high the guard’s martial attainments were, Wei Xiao Bei had not yet reached the level of being able to see through it at a glance.

With the arrival of autumn, the amount of time the sun was out had already started decreasing. It was now completely dusky, and the car’s lights were already turned on.

From time to time, the traffic jam had made the cab’s slow down quite a lot, and only after an hour, had the cab reached a bustling business street. It stopped in front of a gorgeously decorated classical chinese style construct. It had a huge arch with golden characters written on top [Lou Lan Club].

No matter what was said, Wei Xiao Bei had lived in Cui Hu City for a few months already, so he knew a bit about Bai Ta Road.

In this road, there stood a tall white tower. It was said that the tower was built during the Tang Dynasty. During that time, it was also one of the six Feng Shui Towers, that were famous tourist spots, in Cui Hu City. The six Feng Shui Towers were divided into 6 colors: red, blue, green, cyan, black, and white. Moreover, it was also the place where they transplanted 12 banyan trees, creating a magnificent spectacle for people to see.

However, time passed and the flames of war spread. The six towers and twelve trees had been left with only one tower and two trees.

Moreover, with the waves of modernization, the former had been submerged among taller constructs. If a person was not close enough, it would be hard see even just its shape.

After getting down the car, Wei Xiao Bei looked at the European style building that had glass doors and six servers standing outside. From time to time, luxury cars passed through the arch. When they stopped in front of the huge doors, the servers would quickly walk forward to accept the car keys and substitute the driver in parking.

For those car owners, paying a small tip to be able to experience this kind of service was worth it.

It was visible from the outside that this place was not a children’s play area but a gambling den!

However, Wei Xiao Bei’s party did not have the chance to enter from the front door.

At this time, Captain Zheng lead the way. After passing the arch, they headed towards the left side of the place. Passing by the parking lot, they reached a place with a path going down while trucks would also pass by from time to time.

They entered the underground passage, turned a few corners, and saw some patrolling guards on battery-powered vehicles.

It was very clear that the people patrolling were from Da Hao Security Firm. The people there stopped and greeted Captain Zheng when they saw him.

Captain Zheng simply borrowed a battery-powered vehicle and took Wei Xiao Bei and Liu Jian Cheng inside.

Wei Xiao Bei could see that below the so called Lou Lan Club was a scary excavation. Countless roads intertwined and guards patrolled everywhere, making the entire place seem like a military base.

Now that they were there, Captain Zheng finally relaxed a bit and began introducing the place.

It turns out that the Lou Lan Club was one of the properties of Da Hao Entertainment Company. It placed a system of bronze, silver, and gold memberships with annual fees that were not small at all.
