Chapter 612 The Wandering Swordsman 3
At this moment, Shi Qing and Min Rou had already rushed to Shi Zhongyu's side. Shi Qing frowned and said, "The matter has not yet been clarified. What do you mean by this?"
Zhang San's gaze remained fixed on Shi Zhongyu. After a moment, he exchanged a glance with Li Si beside him, and a smile returned to his face: "It seems we brothers misjudged him this time. Chief Shi does indeed possess divine skills."
Li Si's thin face looked somewhat gloomy, and his gaze remained fixed on the red mark that had suddenly appeared on Shi Zhongyu's forehead: "Never seen it before."
When Zhang San made his move, Li and the other three stood still, but their eyes were constantly on this side.
Therefore, he clearly saw the entire process of the red mark appearing on Shi Zhongyu's forehead, and he also keenly sensed the intimidating aura emanating from Shi Zhongyu at that moment.
Zhang San pointed at Shi Zhongyu and said to Li Si behind him, "It seems that our trip to the Chang Le Gang was worthwhile."
The two brothers had visited the Central Plains martial arts world four times, sparring with countless martial arts masters and witnessing countless strange and unusual kung fu techniques, but this was the first time they had ever seen anything like it.
The two exchanged a glance, both understanding each other's meaning.
That is, no matter what, Shi Zhongyu must go to Xia Ke Island.
Bei Haishi was perceptive and understood that Zhang San had tried to tear the clothes on Shi Zhongyu's scar to prove that he was the real leader of the Chang Le Gang, but was instead pushed back. This scene made Bei Haishi quickly start to make plans.
It seems that Shi Zhongyu had some extraordinary encounters during his months of escape to Yangzhou, and he must have learned this mysterious skill from someone.
But now is not the time to worry about that; the most important thing is to get rid of Zhang San and Li Si.
Although Shi Potian possessed great strength, he was Zhang San and Li Si's sworn brother. The two might not have wanted to see their sworn brother die on Xia Ke Island, otherwise they wouldn't have gone to such great lengths to bring Shi Zhongyu back from Yangzhou.
Thinking of this, Bei Haishi's eyes flickered slightly. He rushed straight to Shi Zhongyu and said sincerely, "Since the gang leader went out to train, the gang's affairs have become increasingly difficult. The brothers are constantly thinking of you. In my haste, I actually mistook you for this young hero. I deserve to die!"
At this point, he turned to Shi Potian and bowed in apology: "What happened today was purely a misunderstanding. I hope you can forgive me, young hero."
Shi Potian quickly raised his hand to support him: "Forgive me, forgive me! Mr. Bei has treated me so well, how could I blame him?"
Bei Haishi breathed a sigh of relief and was about to speak again when Shi Qing suddenly interrupted, "Mr. Bei, my son is ignorant and incompetent. What merit do I have to presume to hold the position of 'leader' of your gang? If this gets out, wouldn't it make all the heroes of the world shudder? In my opinion, it's best not to mention this matter again."
"Perfect timing! The martial arts practitioners of Jiangnan, the four major sects of Guandong, Senior Brother Bai, and the disciples of Snow Mountain are all here today. They can all bear witness that from this day forward, I, this child, have absolutely no connection with the Chang Le Gang."
Min Rou immediately stood beside Shi Qing and echoed her.
When Bei Haishi saw the couple's reaction, he immediately became anxious.
If Shi Zhongyu doesn't become the gang leader, then who will take over the order to reward the good and punish the evil?
"That's not right. We truly admire your son, which is why we recommended him as the gang leader. Now, you two have just said one thing and removed us from our position as gang leader. That's not fair."
Yang Guang and the other martial arts figures from Jiangnan came here to support Shi Qing's family. Upon hearing this, they all spoke up, implying that the Chang Le Gang was acting unethically and using Shi Zhongyu as a scapegoat.
Bei Haishi's face turned red and then pale as he was being talked about. Helpless, he secretly gave a wink to the leaders of the Chang Le Gang, and the two sides immediately started arguing, turning the once quiet environment into a noisy mess again.
Exhausted both physically and mentally, Shi Zhongyu became increasingly agitated and slightly raised his hand in response.
While Bei Haishi appeared to be trying to discern the situation, he was actually keeping a close eye on Shi Zhongyu's every move out of the corner of his eye. Upon seeing Shi Zhongyu's actions, he immediately stepped forward, bowed respectfully, and asked, "What are your orders, Chief?"
This action immediately drew everyone's attention back to Shi Zhongyu.
The hall fell silent again, and everyone stared intently at Shi Zhongyu.
Shi Zhongyu kept his eyes closed and didn't speak, but simply raised his hand again.
Bei Haishi paused for a moment, then quickly tucked the fan in his hand into his waistband and reached out to help the person up.
Shi Zhongyu stood up and slowly opened his eyes.
He was dressed in fine silk and satin, the fabric of which was soft and smooth, shimmering faintly in the candlelight of the hall, as if it were casting a hazy halo over him.
His gaze swept around the room, finally settling on the large, carved chair at the top of the hall. He walked up and sat down, uttering a single word: "Tea."
Bei Haishi thought he was willing to continue as the gang leader, and in his joy, he didn't bother to call for anyone and personally went forward to pour him a cup of tea.
Shi Zhongyu glanced at it, but didn't take the teacup. Instead, he stretched out his finger and lightly touched the inside of the cup, saying lazily, "It's cold. Bring me another one."
