Nothing happened that night.
Upon waking, Yun Shou packed up his money and gang leader's token, said goodbye to the shopkeeper, and left the inn.
After leaving Qingcheng, he started the simulation as he walked towards the Qinghe Gang.
[Ding! Essence -1%, Current Essence: 530%]
"This time the capital is unexpectedly strong, more than double that of last time."
"Moreover, having learned from my mistakes, I shouldn't be hunted down. I can level up peacefully and live like a human being."
[In the 269th year of the Daqing era, you were simultaneously ruling as the domineering leader of the Qinghe Gang, while your martial arts skills were gradually diminished.]
[They were also keeping an eye on the martial arts contest for marriage, which you didn't participate in, nor did Zhang Xiaoran.]
The entire battle was just a bunch of second-rate noobs pecking at each other, and what's even more pathetic is that there were also third-rate... sparrows among them.
[Even worse than a chicken, a complete noob.]
Ultimately, you see the victor is a young or middle-aged man in his thirties.
The next day, news spread that the young man who won first place in the martial arts contest to find a husband had been "rejected" by the Lin family's daughter, turning it into a minor source of amusement.
"Alright, it seems your martial arts contest to find a husband was just a formality, and you didn't even fancy a single one." Yun Shou said speechlessly.
[In the 270th year of Daqing, your experience allowed you to quickly dissipate your power. After much contemplation, you resumed cultivating the "Heavenly River Circulation."]
[You'll master it in the blink of an eye.]
[You lifted the restrictions, and the Qinghe Gang's influence began to spread.]
[The "Heavenly River Circulation" technique has been partially completed.]
Meanwhile, the Qinghe Gang rampaged through the city, clashing with the Baishui Martial Arts School in Lihu City.
The Qinghe Gang and the Baishui Martial Arts School have agreed on a best-of-three match, to be held on a later date.
[You knew your men weren't up to the task, so the night before the duel, a mysterious man wearing height-increasing insoles stormed into the White Water Martial Arts School and brutally beat up all the formal disciples in their rooms, breaking their arms and legs, leaving them bedridden for at least three months.]
[Martial Arts School Master: Bai Jianghe, a martial arts master, attacked in anger. He used to fight you for three hundred rounds before narrowly losing, but now, with pure numerical superiority, even with the help of the surrounding disciples, he only lasted fifty rounds before being blasted away, crashing through several houses.]
Fifteen minutes later, you leisurely left, and not a single person in the entire Baishui Martial Arts School was able to stand up.
The next day, you led the Qinghe Gang to greet the Baishui Martial Arts School with great fanfare, actively welcoming the challenger—a gesture of weakness…if that person last night hadn't been you.
"Oh dear, what happened?"
"Master Bai, what happened to you? Did you get ambushed while walking alone at night?"
Your warm greetings and inquiries are all about friendship first, competition second.
Bai Jianghe, his face dark, asked, "Would your gang be willing to postpone the competition until two or three months from now?"
"You've got some nerve!?" Your loyal Right Protector Xu Ruohai stepped forward with a domineering sneer.
[A mere first-rate individual who hadn't even reached the pinnacle of internal organ cultivation—Bai Jianghe would normally have slapped this rude fellow away long ago—but now, with both arms broken, he couldn't even beat his own wife.]
I can only pretend I didn't hear Xu Ruohai's words and keep staring at you.
You generously said, "Our Qinghe Gang acts with integrity and never takes advantage of others' misfortunes. However, since you need two months to recuperate, we will take over the Qinghu area for those two months."
"Of course, of course."
Two months later, on a dark and windy night.
Yun Shou: (Suppressing a laugh)
Bai Jianghe was discussing with several disciples: "Although the Qinghe Gang doesn't know the rules, their leader is still a decent person. I've heard that he's quite skilled in martial arts at such a young age. Tomorrow, give them some face and let them 'slightly win' the first two rounds."
Then he heard that familiar hoarse, shrill laugh again. He went outside and saw all the disciples huddled together: "Master Bai, it's been a long time!"
Bai Jianghe: "..."
Even the dumbest person could see this wasn't a coincidence. He roared "Qinghe thief!" and charged forward, only to be sent flying backward once more by his still-healing body...
The next day, amidst the familiar sounds of gongs and drums, you exclaimed at just the right moment, "Oh my god, what happened now?!"
"Your old and useless Left Protector chimed in, 'It seems the White Water Martial Arts School has a bad reputation and is unpopular. Otherwise, why would the entire school be constantly being attacked with clubs?'"
[Song Xiaohu, the "prospective gang member" you brought along, tugged at your sleeve: "Brother Yunshou, why are the people at this martial arts school always getting beaten up? They're not even as good as our gang."]
Seeing the growing number of passersby attracted by your drumming and gonging, and the damage done to the martial arts school's reputation, Bai Jianghe was so angry he almost vomited blood: "You, you dare say that the man in black last night wasn't you?"
"Of course not! All the gang members present can testify that I was with them all last night!" You and your underlings are shoulder to shoulder, heart to heart.
"That's right!" *26
"You mean to say that all twenty-odd grown men slept together last night?"
"Doesn't this show that our boss is approachable and that we have a good relationship as gang brothers?"
"Should I say it too?" Little Tiger asked, looking rather clueless.
"You're a prospective member, so you don't count." You patted his head; it felt so good. "Besides, that's friendship between adults; kids shouldn't get involved."
"It feels really good?" Yun Shouxu clenched his fist. "Really? I'll rub it when I get back and see."
Seeing you all feigning madness and acting as if no one else was around, Bai Jianghe spat out another mouthful of blood: "What goes around comes around! Do you really think you can get away with doing that kind of thing?!"
