Chapter 22: Frustration!

  Zhang Dabiao supported the two of them, and they returned to Zhang Dapeng's medicine garden. He didn't know where he had gotten the "Huiyuan Dan" from, but after administering it to the two brothers, their complexions improved significantly. At this time, these two goods hung their heads, not knowing what they were thinking about. "Damn it, it's really embarrassing to be beaten like this, where can I put my face?"

  Tang Lin said while rubbing his face.

  "Alright, if it weren't for Xiao Shixiong arriving in time, we would have already gone to report to King Yan. I'm puzzled, did you forget to take your medicine before going out? You even dare to provoke Lu Hu, are you a donkey? You can't even lead one around without getting beaten." Zhan Dapeng said, also rubbing his face.

  "Get out of here, if it weren't for you, a big man like you, letting a woman slap him twice and not daring to fight back. You still have the face to say that you're skilled? Didn't someone also slap you flying?"

  "I was thinking for the greater good, a real man should know how to endure, but you, so arrogant and confrontational, got slapped in the face, and now you're blaming me!"

  "You think it's normal for me to get slapped around? Lu Hu has cultivated his Qi to the 8th level, while I'm only at the 1st level. How could I possibly dodge? Look at you, let me count how many slaps those siblings gave you - two each! What a shameful thing! You still have the nerve to say that if it weren't for me hitting those women twice, we would've lost big time. Dammit, this debt will be settled sooner or later, or I won't rest easy!"

  "It's all over, it's good that you're not dead, and now you've come back, can you beat Lu Hu? If you go, you'll just be abused by others!"

  Zhang Dabiao, who was standing aside, looked at the two brothers and couldn't help but admire them for still having the energy to bicker with each other. Especially towards Tang Lin, he had even more admiration and worship!

  "Brother Tang, I, Zhang Dabiao, rarely admire people, but you are one of them. You're really impressive!"

  He finished speaking and gave Tang Lin a thumbs up.

  Zhang Dabiao spoke up, and it wasn't until then that these two guys realized there was still someone else there.

  "Zhang Shixiong, thank you for sending us back. What you did isn't good for you, I reckon now the entire Tianjian Gate doesn't dare to have any relations with us anymore. Walking together with us is equivalent to being an enemy of Lu Hu, it's better if you leave." Zhan Dapeng said.

  "Big Peng, what are you talking about? I admire you two, that's why I sent you back. What kind of person is Lu Hu, do I care about him?"

  "Just as Zhan Dapeng was about to speak, Tang Lin opened his mouth."

  "Yes, Brother Zhang is right. Lu Hu is nothing but a bird. What's the difference between us and him? Isn't it just that his cultivation is higher? We'll catch up with him eventually and then we'll teach him a lesson. This slap on my face will be returned sooner or later!"

  "I just like Tang Shidi's style, bold and fearless, awesome! If you don't mind, old Zhang will follow you from now on!"

  Zhang Dabiao is a straightforward and outspoken person who never hides anything. If he considers you as his brother, even if it means death, he will not say no. Usually because of his foolishness, he doesn't have any friends in the Tianjian Gate, but his relationship with Xian Dapeng is good, and it's said that they are from the same village!

  "You're hanging out with him? Aren't you looking for trouble? Does he even look like a human being to you? He's more cunning than a monkey, and that day he sold you out and you still gave him the money to count!"

  Zhan Da Peng glanced at Tang Lin and said.

  "Get out of here and squat somewhere else! Even if I'm poor, I won't sell out my own brother. If anyone's going to be sold, it'll be you first. Just look at that face of yours that's been beaten black and blue - it's definitely worth some money!"

  As soon as they mentioned their faces, the two of them couldn't help but look at each other's faces. They shouldn't have looked, because once they did, they discovered that both of them had a ghostly appearance. The brothers couldn't hold it in anymore and covered their faces, enduring the pain as they burst out laughing. Zhang Dabiao didn't find it funny at first, but after taking a look, he also ended up laughing out loud. The brothers' faces were already swollen, and with their ugly smiles that looked even more painful than crying, Zhang Dabiao couldn't help but laugh too.

  After laughing, Zhan Dapeng's face was full of worry. He didn't know if the master could calm down Lu Hu, and if the master couldn't calm him down, then he and Tang Lin would still have to die. It wasn't possible that every time someone would appear to save them. Thinking of this, he said to Zhang Dabiao:

  "Da Biao, I and this fool have injuries on our bodies, it's inconvenient to move. You go out and ask around, see if this matter is over or not. Lu Hu is not a simple guy, if this matter isn't over, we should make early preparations, can't just wait here to die."

  Zhang Dabiao listened and immediately patted his chest, saying loudly:

  "Don't worry, I'll take care of this. I'll go and handle it right away. You guys focus on recovering from your injuries!" With that, he took off like a shot and disappeared in an instant.

  Watching Zhang Dabiao's gradually disappearing figure, Zhan Dapeng seemed to have thought of something, staring at Tang Lin with a look that was not enough, and his hands and feet were all on him. He wanted to study this cowy flash brother, what material is made of.

  "What's wrong with you, are you sick?"

  "I just want to see what kind of material you're made of? You can actually withstand a blow from the Lu Tiger and not die, are you a turtle or something? You don't even have a shell!"

  "Damn you, you're the one who's a turtle egg, your whole family is turtles! I was born with a good physique, and that land tiger can't hurt me. Just watch, when my cultivation improves, I'll beat him to death!"

  Tang Lin finished speaking and immediately received a disdainful gaze from Zhan Dapeng:

  "What about you? You're a mess, a complete failure! You think you can catch up with him? Don't be ridiculous, it's impossible! I reckon I won't see that happen in this lifetime!"

  "Grandma! Catch up with him, I still have to surpass him. Tomorrow, go to the Contribution Hall and exchange for his 320 Heaven Spirit Dan. Even if Young Master eats it as rice, he must make progress!"

  "Hey? I just found out that your mouth is really capable, with your upper lip touching your lower lip, you dare to say anything, and also the heavenly elixir of 320, did you steal it?"

  "Don't believe me? Fine! Tomorrow, follow me to the Contribution Hall and see if I can get these Heaven's Spirit Pills. Don't cry then!"

  In one night, the two of them sat on the ground to treat their injuries. Tang Lin's injury was more severe than Zhang Dapeng's, and his cultivation level was lower. By midnight, Zhang Dapeng had already recovered, but Tang Lin was not doing well. At this time, the red bead in his body had lost its luster and was quietly floating in his dantian like a round stone. Moreover, there was no spiritual energy left in Tang Lin's body, which was strange. Previously, he was clearly at the Qi Refining stage, so why did his cultivation disappear after getting injured? This made Tang Lin puzzled and unable to understand. Now, he could only rely on Zhang Dapeng's Revival Dan to slowly recover from his injuries, which would naturally be slower than Zhang Dapeng's recovery.

  The next morning, Zhang Dabiao led a large group of people to Zhan Dapeng's medicine garden. Fortunately, the Tianling grass here had been harvested earlier, otherwise not even a single blade of grass would have been left behind.

  Zhan Da Peng looked at the group of people rushing towards him, his brain hurt, while Tang Lin was also recovering from her injuries.

  Before Zhang Dapeng asked, Zhang Dabiao spoke up:

  "It's alright, it's alright. The sect leader has already given the order that no one is allowed to kill anyone within the Tianjian Sect, regardless of who they are. Anyone who disobeys will be dealt with personally by the sect leader. Moreover, the sect leader has allocated the entire northern region of the Tianjian Sect to us outer sect disciples. From now on, this place belongs to us!"

  "What's with all these people you've brought here?" Zhang Da Peng said with a displeased expression.

  "It wasn't me who brought them, they came on their own, you don't know, now the whole Tianjian Gate knows your names, especially Tang Shidi, now he has become the leader of the outer disciples, his reputation is extremely high."

  "What? Can he be the boss with that kind of behavior? I, who am as elegant and refined as a jade tree in the wind, don't even dare to call myself the boss, what makes him think he can?" After saying this, Zhang Da Peng pointed at Tang Lin not far away.

  Their conversation was heard clearly by Tang Lin, but these were not what he cared about. At this moment, he stared intently at the distant mountain peak, seemingly thinking of something.

  "Big Peng, what is Tang Shidi thinking about over there?"

  "What else can you think of? Look at his posture, he's in the middle of something deep, don't go disturb him, just let him do what he wants, I'm getting dizzy from all the commotion!"

  Although Zhan Dapeng said so, he knew that his younger brother, who usually loved to join in the fun, was this time acting out of character and must be thinking about something. In order not to disturb him, Zhan Dapeng chased away the crowd, leaving only Zhang Dabiao behind.
