Chapter 58: Conflict

  My wife is in hospital, so it seems that the explosive updates will have to wait for now. For the time being, I'll make sure to update two chapters a day. Shamelessly asking for your support, I want red envelopes!

  "What brings you to our place so late, Xiao? Don't tell me you're also looking for a woman to have some fun with? Don't worry, after we brothers are done playing, we'll send one over to keep you company!" One of Wang Tianlong's underlings blocked Xiao Tianjian and his group, grinning at Xiao Tianjian while glancing at the few followers behind him. Since Xiao had fewer men, this guy didn't take him seriously, speaking very rudely.

  "Get out of my way! I'm not as shameless as you guys! I want to see your king!" Xiao Tianjian said coldly, his face twisted in disgust.

  Xiao Tianjian's attitude made this guy somewhat unexpected, and he awkwardly opened his mouth, but didn't let go, instead saying to Xiao Tianjian: "What are you pretending to be! Does it concern you whether I want to lose face or not? We're having fun here! No time to see you, you guys go back! What's with the pretentious attitude?"

  "Bang..." Then there was a crisp sound, and the man's words stopped abruptly. It turned out that Xiao Tianjian had slapped him with a cold face, and he was beaten to the ground with a brain injury.

  "Ah... you dare to hit me, I'll chop you up! Come here! This Xiao guy is looking for trouble with us! Everyone come over and beat these bastards to death!" The other guy was first punched into a daze, spun around twice and fell headfirst to the ground, with blood oozing out of his forehead. After being dizzy for a while, he finally came to and realized what had happened. He quickly scrambled up, cursing loudly as he called on his people to surround and beat Xiao Tianjian and the others.

  After hearing the strange cry, Wang Tianlong's men immediately jumped up and surrounded him, one by one rolling up their sleeves to prepare for a fight.

  Xiao Tian, after exercising, suddenly pulled out his waist knife without saying a word. Yan Chongxi and others who followed also drew their waist knives, and Xiao Tian's subordinates who were watching from the other side also picked up their weapons and rushed over.

  The scene outside the Fan family's Zhuangzi suddenly became lively, with people on both sides standing up, picking up their tools and gathering together, each one shouting loudly at each other, threatening each other, and one by one, their voices grew louder.

  But scold as they might, neither side dared to take action easily. If they were to fight in the dark like this, it's not guaranteed who would be able to tell who was who, and things could escalate quickly. So everyone just compared whose voice was louder, but no one dared to make the first move. Even the guy who got slapped by Xiao Tianjian was all bark and no bite, making a lot of noise but not daring to get close to Xiao Tianjian. Where did this guy's head go? He was at least a foot taller and stronger than Xiao Tianjian, and if he were to get hit again, his face would be completely ruined.

  The commotion also startled Wang Tianlong, who was "relaxing" inside the tent. He hadn't even docked his boat yet and had just taken off his pants, but before he could undress the woman, he heard a big disturbance outside. Frightened, he immediately put his pants back on, grabbed a piece of clothing to throw over himself, seized his large knife, and rushed out.

  "My goodness! Are the people from the Zhuang family sneaking up on us? What's going on? What's happening?" Wang Tianlong rushed out and looked around, shouting at the people outside to ask what was going on.

  "If the dishes are returned, there is no movement in the village, but it's unclear what happened. That Xiao guy and Ma Hou'er got into a fight, and Xiao gave Ma a big slap in the face. The two sides almost started fighting! Quickly go over and take a look!" One of Wang Tianlong's subordinates hastily replied to him.

  Wang Tianlong finally let out a sigh of relief, cursed a sentence, and hurriedly rushed to the place where the two sides were confronting each other with his knife.

  By the light of the torches and fire, his subordinates finally saw that Wang Tiandao was wearing a woman's dress. They thought to remind him, but Wang Tiandao had already rushed out with his sword.

  So he didn't dare make a sound and followed them running over there.

  "What's going on? What's going on? Get out of my way! What are you yelling about? Damn it! What's happening? Can't you bunch of bastards let me be?" Wang Tianlong pushed through the crowd, cursing loudly.

  After hearing Wang Tiandong's voice, his subordinates quickly made way for him and let him squeeze to the front. Only then did Wang Tiandong see Xiao Tianjian with a frosty face.

  "Haha! Xiao Dangjia, it's so late, what are you trying to do? How can you still be so aggressive?" Wang Tiandong said with a slanted shoulder, his face smiling but not quite reaching his eyes.

  Xiao Tianjian raised his hand, and the brothers behind him immediately fell silent, all looking at Xiao Tianjian and Wang Tiandong talking.

  But Wang Tianlong's side was still clamoring and scolding, with a look of unwillingness.

  Xiao Tianjian slightly bowed his head and said to Wang Tiandong: "Sorry! Young Master Wang! Earlier, I had something to attend to and wanted to see you, but this younger brother of yours spoke out of turn. So, I took the liberty of teaching him a lesson on your behalf! Please forgive me!"

  Wang Tiandong felt uncomfortable and thought to himself, "How did it come to you teaching me a lesson?" However, considering the darkness all around them and that they were still collaborators for now, he didn't want to really tear his face off and start a fight here. Besides, fighting in the dark might put him at an advantage, but it would also give the people inside the villa another opportunity to take advantage of the situation and come out to stir up trouble, which would be even more troublesome.

  He glared at the horse monkey standing beside him, and under the light of the torch, he saw that half of the horse monkey's face was swollen. This slap was indeed not light, and he was even more angry in his heart, thinking that Xiao's surname was really ruthless! This slap was enough for the horse monkey to bear!

  But since it's already like this, the matter can't be blown up immediately. Wang Tianlong suppressed his anger and handed the knife to a subordinate, thinking that after all, Xiao Tianjian and he were both masters of the same school, and Ma Hou had obviously spoken out of turn, which was why Xiao Tianjian had slapped him in the face.

  He glared at his subordinates and cursed, "Get out of here! Go to sleep if you need to! Don't bother me with this nonsense! All of you, get back!"

  Xiao Tianjian also waved his hand, and the brothers under him immediately turned back to their campsite, watching from a distance. Wang Tiandong's men had no choice but to turn around one by one and return to their own bonfire, grumbling as they sat down.

  As for those women, no one has the heart to bother them at this moment either.

  Looking at the crowd around him dispersing, Wang Tianlong let out a dry laugh and made a fist at Xiao Tianjian, saying: "It's my fault for not teaching you well, letting you see me in such a state! But I don't know what business you have with me so late at night?"

  The monkey saw that it couldn't stir up trouble anymore, so it also had to tuck its neck in, turn its head and sulkily find a place to sit down.

  Xiao Tianjian glanced at the tenant's side and lowered his voice, saying: "Wang Dangjia, don't mind listening to your brother's advice. We are here to fight against Fan Family Fort! The one we need to deal with is the wealthy old man surnamed Fan. As for these tenants, they are all poor people. It's not worth pressing them too hard! If we press them too hard and they make a fuss, those inside will take advantage of the situation and rush out to attack us. No one will benefit from this! Let's spare those who should be spared and not go overboard!"

  Wang Tiandong's face tightened, and he immediately understood what Xiao Tianjian was referring to. He thought to himself: "I'm just playing with a woman, what business is it of yours? You're actually trying to control me, aren't you overstepping your bounds?"

  But looking at the tenant's side, it's also chaotic now. What Xiao Tianjian said seems to make sense too. Playing with women is not a big deal, but if these tenants are really forced to be anxious, and they all make trouble together, it will be hard to handle on our own side at night. If the Zhuang Ding people inside take advantage of the situation and rush out, it will be even harder to end this well.

  However, if he were to directly agree with Xiao Tianjian, today's matter would seem too humiliating. Wang Tiandong's face immediately sank, and he coldly replied: "This matter doesn't seem like something that requires Mr. Xiao to manage us! As for what should be done, I, Wang, naturally know; there's no need for Mr. Xiao to teach me how to do things! Today's matter ends here, please leave, Mr. Xiao!"

  Xiao Tianjian looked at Wang Tiandong's attire, sneered and said with disdain in his eyes: "Alright! Xiao has spoken to this extent, whether you listen or not depends on the master of the Wang family. Please!"

  After that, Xiao Tianjian turned around and walked back with big strides. Tie Tou and Yan Chongxi followed Xiao Tianjian and cast a disdainful glance at Wang Tianglong.

  Wang Tiandong watched as Xiao Tianjian and his group walked away, then suddenly spat a mouthful of thick phlegm at their backs, cursing: "What kind of thing! Damn it! What are you pretending to be with your big tail wolf! Virtue! I won't bother with you for now, but I'll deal with you bunch of turtles later! Get out of my sight and roll back!" After saying that, Wang Tiandong was so angry that he stormed off towards his own tent, also telling his subordinates to follow him back. It's unclear whether he meant himself as well, but in any case, several of his subordinates followed him back.

  After this commotion, Wang Tianlong also lost interest in playing with women. He scolded and kicked the woman, then ordered his subordinates: "Send all these women back, don't bother me again!"

  Several women, crying and wailing, were driven back into their crowd by Wang Tiandong's men. As soon as they saw their loved ones, they burst into tears one after another. In any case, they had avoided the fate of being ravished, which was a blessing in disguise.

  Many tenants turned their heads to look at the place where Xiao Tianjian and his men gathered, some victims quietly knelt on the ground and kowtowed in that direction, filled with gratitude in their hearts. They knew that if it weren't for those poles, these women would have escaped being ravaged by those poles today!
