Qiu Qianren glanced at the various dishes in the food bucket, a glint of light flashing in his eyes, which disappeared in an instant.
"Senior Piao, would you like to buy a boxed lunch?" Li Huan asked with a smile.
Qiu Qianren, fanning himself with a palm-leaf fan, sternly corrected him: "My surname is Qiu! Not Piao!"
Li Huan said, "Aren't you Iron Palm Water-Walking?"
Qiu Qianren said, "I am 'Iron Palm Water-Walking,' but my surname is Qiu and my given name is Qianren!"
"Oh..." Li Huan pretended to suddenly realize something, "I remember now, you have a twin brother named Qiu Qianzhang, who looks almost exactly like you! But he's a little shorter than you, and his demeanor is a little more sleazy. He's bad at martial arts, an incompetent good-for-nothing, and likes to swindle and cheat!"
"Insolence!" Qiu Qianren roared angrily. "What right does a mere merchant have to criticize my elder brother?"
Li Huan lied, "Your older brother, Qiu Qianzhang, is a swindler who cheated me out of dozens of boxed lunches, and he still hasn't paid me!"
Qiu Qianren was taken aback.
Qiu Qianren was very familiar with Qiu Qianzhang's character.
This spendthrift older brother often impersonates the leader of the Iron Palm Gang, swindling food and drink everywhere and causing all sorts of trouble.
At this moment, Qiu Qianren could not admit it in public, otherwise it would damage his glorious image.
"Nonsense! The Iron Palm Clan possesses countless gold and silver treasures. My elder brother is never short of money, so why would he eat and drink for free without paying the bill!"
After saying that, Qiu Qianren ignored Li Huan and strode towards Xuanyuan Platform.
"I heard that your gang's leader, Chief Hong, has unfortunately passed away. What a pity! May I ask who your gang's new leader is?"
Elder Peng hurriedly introduced, "This Master Yang is the nineteenth generation of our gang..."
"Shut up!" Li Huan interrupted Elder Peng. "Since you didn't spit on Yang Kang, the ceremony of bowing to the gang leader was as good as not being performed. How can Yang Kang be considered the new gang leader?"
"Yes, yes, the ceremony must be completed!" Elder Peng quickly coughed and spat thick, yellow phlegm onto Yang Kang.
Lu Youjiao, Elder Jian, and Elder Liang also quickly spat at Yang Kang, and then knelt down on the ground.
The Beggars' Sect disciples, according to their seniority, came one by one to Yang Kang, spitting at him and performing the sect's grandest salute.
Yang Kang initially frowned, finding the thick phlegm extremely filthy, but gradually, his brows relaxed, and he began to enjoy the kneeling worship of the crowd.
As the ceremony of paying homage to the gang leader was about to end, Li Huan rushed up to the Xuanyuan Platform and stopped the last few Beggar Gang disciples from spitting.
Yang Kang was startled. Forgetting to wipe the thick phlegm and saliva off his face, he pointed at Li Huan and asked, "What do you want to do?"
Li Huan laughed and said, "Now that things have come to this, I'm not going to pretend anymore! In fact, I am the true successor of Hong Qigong, the nineteenth leader of the Beggars' Clan!"
"Hahaha..." Yang Kang laughed wildly, "You've either lost your mind or you're tired of living!"
Li Huan said, "Yang Kang, I'm giving you a chance because you still have some conscience and are sincere towards Mu Nianci. Just admit how you obtained the Green Bamboo Staff and how you bribed Elder Peng!"
Yang Kang's expression changed drastically; he hadn't expected Li Huan to know about his relationship with Mu Nianci.
Elder Peng looked panicked and yelled at Li Huan, "You're spouting nonsense! I had never met Yang Kang before, how could I have been bribed by him!"
Yang Kang was furious, his eyes blazing with fury.
Just when he was about to become the leader of the Beggars' Sect, he was stopped by Li Huan!
Moreover, Yang Kang was covered in thick phlegm and emitted a foul odor.
If I don't become the leader of the Beggars' Sect tonight, it's like I've been subjected to the "spitting ceremony" from the elders and disciples of the Beggars' Sect for nothing!
"Get out of my way!" Yang Kang slapped Li Huan in the chest!
To everyone's surprise, the palm strike missed Li Huan!
Yang Kang stumbled and turned to look, but couldn't see Li Huan anywhere.
"The dragon soars in the sky!"
Li Huan descended from the sky and struck Yang Kang on the shoulder with a palm strike!
Bang! Yang Kang fell to his knees, and the wooden plank on the table snapped!
"The Eighteen Subduing Dragon Palms!"
Lu Youjiao, Elder Jian, Elder Liang, and Elder Peng exclaimed in unison.
Yang Kang was in excruciating pain in both knees, which contorted his face, turning his handsome features into a ferocious expression.
Li Huan stood with his hands behind his back in front of Yang Kang and said loudly.
"Flying Dragon in the Sky is the second move of the Eighteen Subduing Dragon Palms. I only used 30% of my power just now! Otherwise, your shoulder bone would have been broken and your kneecaps would have been shattered!"
Yang Kang tried to stand up and reached for the green bamboo cane that had fallen to the side, but his knees hurt even more, large beads of sweat appeared on his forehead, and he couldn't move his legs at all.
“You…you actually know martial arts…” Yang Kang gritted his teeth.
Li Huan laughed and said, "When did I ever say that I don't know martial arts?"
Lu Youjiao hurriedly asked, "Who exactly are you? And why are you proficient in the Beggars' Sect's ultimate martial art, the Eighteen Subduing Dragon Palms?"
Li Huan said, "My name is Li Huan. I deliberately pretended to be a small vendor to associate with you so that I could sell boxed lunches at a stall and earn money from Yang Kang!"
"Now that I have the money, I no longer need to hide my true identity. To tell you the truth, I am Hong Qigong's eldest disciple!"
Elder Jian was shocked: "Chief Hong's eldest disciple? I've never heard of the Chief taking on a disciple..."
Without wasting words, Li Huan immediately unleashed the Eighteen Subduing Dragon Palms, attacking from the first move "The Dragon Regrets" to the last move "The Dragon Swings Its Tail"!
The four elders and disciples of the Beggars' Sect were dazzled and excited.
Qiu Qianren shook his palm-leaf fan, staring at Li Huan with a serious expression.
Yang Kang was still unable to stand up; his whole body was trembling and he was drenched in sweat.
After finishing his performance, Li Huan smiled calmly and asked, "Elders, was my 'Eighteen Subduing Dragon Palms' authentic?"
