Chapter 011 Restart (Seeking Recommendations and Bookmarks!)

  He stroked his chin with its wispy beard, and Xu Xuan suddenly realized that he indeed had the talent to be a mountain bandit leader. However, this was not the kind of talent he wanted right now.

  "It's starting all over again!"

  Xu Xuan muttered a sentence to himself and immediately walked into one of the guest rooms next to the martial arts training ground.

  As soon as the oil lamp was lit, Xuan had already thought about shaving off his goatee that he had kept for many years tonight.

  The next morning.

  At this moment, in the grand hall, Xiangzi and others were waiting for Xu Xuan, after all, there were still some important things that had not been completed.

  "How come the boss hasn't arrived yet?" The blind man looked around, his face full of doubt.

  Since Xu Xuan returned last night, the blind man found that Xu Xuan was a bit strange, and today early in the morning, he didn't see Xu Xuan's shadow, so the blind man naturally became worried.

  Fei Niu, Shu Sheng, Ye Ren and others were also thinking in their hearts about what Xu Xuan was doing so early, but just at this moment, a handsome man wearing a black robe walked into the grand hall.

  Everyone looked up and saw a man in black robes walking into the main hall, and was suddenly shocked.

  "Who are you? How dare you trespass on our Tiger Gang's territory!"

  As soon as the words fell, a blind man suddenly appeared and with one swift move, a large hand reached out to grab the black-robed man's neck, intending to strangle him to death!

  "Impossible!" The scholar saw the newcomer was extremely familiar and hastily blocked his way.

  But it's too late now, the blind man has not yet seen how to make a move, and he sees the black-robed man slap his big hand with one hand, and his left hand is already beckoning him to come up!

  Snap

  A loud and clear slap echoed in the great hall, and the blind man was hit by this slap, and he spun 360 degrees on the spot, then retreated continuously!

  "You scoundrel, you don't even recognize me!" Xu Xuan said in a rage.

  As soon as this was said, all the members of the Měng Hǔ Bāng looked at Xu Xuan with a mixture of shock and disbelief.

  The blind man was awakened by Xu Xuan's slap, and his angry expression no longer existed, replaced by a terrified look.

  "Help...help master, where is your beard?" The blind man asked with a trembling voice.

  Xu Xuan heard this and looked at the blind man with disdain, then calmly said: "Must you not recognize me just because I don't have a beard?"

  The blind man and others heard the words and suddenly showed a hint of embarrassment, especially the blind man who stepped forward and said: "Boss, now that you've shaved your beard, more than half of your heroic appearance is gone. In the future, when you go out to mingle, people might not recognize you as the boss!"

  Xu Xuan was already extremely angry. The blind man didn't recognize him before, and now hearing the blind man say such things, he became even more enraged and grabbed the blind man's collar!

  "My grass! Does Laozi have no heroic spirit without a beard?"

  Xiangzi had never seen Xu Xian treat him like this before, and was immediately frightened, his whole body trembling. He then said: "Master, I was momentarily confused and spoke words that you didn't want to hear!"

  "But actually, the leader doesn't have this beard, I think it's not bad. After all, our Měng Hǔ Bāng has been rooted in White Lotus Town for many years, and there are only a handful of forces that dare to provoke us."

  Xu Xuan let go of the blind man and immediately walked a few steps to sit on a large chair at the top of the stairs in the great hall.

  "Starting today, our Tiger Gang no longer needs to rely on robbery and extortion to survive! We've had enough of this White Lotus Town!" Xu Xuan declared.

  These words suddenly shocked Blind and others like a thunderbolt again.

  "What...what?"

  "Boss, what did you just say? Did I hear it wrong?"

  "Boss, what exactly happened last night?"

  "I, the Miao Hu Bang, have stood in Bailian Town for so many years. If I were to do this all at once, not to mention that my brothers from the Miao Hu Bang would be unable to adapt, even the various gangs in Bailian Town would also be unable to adapt!"

  The blind and others discussed it in unison, this is not a small matter, after all, if the mountain bandits do not rely on robbery and extortion, it will be difficult to survive.

  On the other hand, at this moment, Shu Sheng was thinking about Xu Xuan's words. He had already noticed that Xu Xuan was a bit strange last night in the martial arts field, but seeing him give orders to all his brothers today made him even more certain of this point.

  "From today on, I will leave this Weihushan and leave Bailian Town!" Xu Xuan said again.

  "Boss, you're not joking, are you?" Fat Cow also looked puzzled upon hearing this.

  They exchanged a glance, and the blind man patted the scholar's shoulder, saying in a low voice: "Scholar, you'd better advise your master, otherwise how can our Ferocious Tiger Gang stand firm within a fifty-mile radius from here?"

  The scholar heard the words and slightly shook his head, then took a few steps forward, looking at Xu Xuan on the stairs and said: "Boss, since you don't want to stay here, do you have any goals?"

  Shu Sheng's words directly raised the topic, and at this moment, Xiang Zuo and others were also quietly waiting for Xu Xuan's response.

  Xu Xuan glanced at Shu Sheng and continued, "I've heard that the top martial artists in the world are as numerous as clouds. Since my Miao Hu Bang has no room for improvement here, it's time to go out and make a name for ourselves!"

  At these words, Blind and others were suddenly shocked.

  "Haha! I knew the master wouldn't do such a thing, it turns out he wants to unify the martial arts world!" The blind man burst into laughter and then spoke proudly, exuding an aura of wanting to dominate the entire martial arts world. Especially the sharp glint in his eyes that flashed by made even Fat Cow secretly admire him.

  "Get your head straight! Ah, Bookworm! Based on your understanding of the Central Plains, why don't you tell us about the major powers there? That way I can prepare myself!" Xu Xuan looked down on Blindman once again, then turned his gaze to Bookworm.

  The scholar heard this and suddenly lifted his folding fan slightly in his hand, then began to ponder.

  It was just a moment's pause, and then the scholar finally spoke up.

  "In the Central Plains, many heroes are vying for power. Among them, the four major forces of Zixiaomen, Jianxintang, Yufosi and Mogentan take the lead. As for other small forces and wandering knights, they are as numerous as hairs on an ox! And among these, there is a force called Zhuxianshanzhuang, which has only one heir at a time. Whenever a successor of Zhuxianshanzhuang appears, it will inevitably bring about a storm of blood and rain!"

  As soon as this was said, Xu Xuan suddenly became interested in the force called Zhu Jian Mountain Villa.

  "How many people are there in Zhū Jiàn Manor? Why are they so formidable?" Xu Xuan asked.

  "It's passed down through one vein, of course it's passed down from generation to generation. There shouldn't be five people!" The scholar explained.

  As a result, Blind and others looked at this mysterious force with new eyes.

  Xu Xuan heard this and finally stood up, saying: "Guys, you first pack your luggage and take a look at how Lai Fu is doing now. Can he travel? I have something to attend to outside!"

  "Yes, Master!" The blind man and the scholar nodded in unison.

  Xu Xuan walked out of the grand hall and into his own room.

  At this moment, Liu Yan had already dressed up, but when she saw a handsome man step into the room, she suddenly became somewhat puzzled.

  "Who is—" Liu Yan cautiously began to say.

  "Miss Liu, don't even recognize me?" Xu Xuan helplessly said.

  Nor did he know what was going on, but after shaving his beard, it actually caused so much trouble. Was he destined to be a mountain bandit for the rest of his life? Xu Xuan thought to himself.

  Liu Yan heard this and took another look at Xu Xuan, then immediately determined that this handsome man was indeed the leader of the Meng Hu Bang, Xu Xuan.

  "Is the leader really here to take me back home today?" Yan's topic suddenly became serious.

  "Come down the mountain with me!"

  Xu Xuan lazily explained and turned around to walk away.

  Liu Yan saw that Xu Xuan was greatly different from the first time they met today and yesterday, but it wasn't good to ask questions either. After all, Xu Xuan was going to take him back to his hometown now, which was originally a good thing anyway.

  Following Xu Xuan's footsteps, Liu Yan turned his head step by step, finding it hard to imagine that he was caught by Xu Xuan yesterday and would be sent back home today.

  Xu Xuan, walking on the mountain path, didn't say much. The black large knife he carried on his back, with a steady pace, from appearance alone, Xu Xuan and the identity of a mountain bandit were simply worlds apart at this moment.

  "Huang Lao'er, my little white dragon!" Xu Xuan shouted loudly as he walked down to the foot of the mountain.

  As soon as the words were spoken, an old man in a yellow robe emerged from a fallen temple amidst a fit of coughing, leading out a tall horse with white mane.
