Chapter 012: The Wicked Guest Arrives
"Taibai is here, why did you kid come so early today." When Zhang Taibai walked into the hall of the martial arts hall, a square-faced man who looked to be in his thirties greeted him with a smile.
"At this time, the store is not very busy, and I am idle, so I came over early." Zhang Taibai replied with a smile, "It's you, Third Senior Brother, why did you clean up yourself?" ”
This square-faced man's name is Hua Tianwen, and he is the personal disciple of the hall owner Li Luofeng.
Li Luofeng has a total of eight personal disciples, and he is nicknamed the Eight King Kongs by the apprentices of the martial arts hall, and Hua Tianwen is the third oldest among the eight, so Zhang Taibai calls him the third senior brother.
Unlike Zhang Taibai and his apprentices, who paid a fee to learn art, the so-called personal disciples really have the status of master and apprentice with Li Luofeng. They can call Li Luofeng a master, but Zhang Taibai can only call Li Luofeng a teacher, which are actually two completely different concepts.
Of course, among these eight personal disciples, except for the first three, including Hua Tianwen, who were disciples that Li Luofeng had accepted before opening the martial arts hall, the latter five were actually the best ones selected from the many apprentices who had signed up to practice martial arts over the years.
Therefore, becoming a disciple is the goal that the apprentices strive for!
This is not only because of the issue of honor, but also because of Li Luofeng's identity and strength.
Zhang Taibai didn't believe that he was the only one among these many apprentices who knew Li Luofeng's reputation in the New York underground world, and there was no impermeable wall in this world.
He even suspected that there were some people sent by the underworld forces to go undercover among the apprentices in the martial arts hall, trying to find out Li Luofeng's origin.
However, this difficulty is indeed not small, because there are not so many opportunities for these apprentices to meet Li Luofeng. Most of the time, eight personal disciples took turns to guide them, and Li Luofeng only occasionally came out to point out and correct his mistakes.
For example, the 'Tempest Sword Technique' mastered by Zhang Taibai was taught by the third senior brother Hua Tianwen.
Therefore, Hua Tianwen is half a teacher for Zhang Taibai.
Hearing Zhang Taibai's question, Hua Tianwen shook his head and smiled, "Aunt Cleaning has something to do at home today, I took a day off, I'll clean it casually, it's okay, you go to rest first." ”
"How can there be any reason for you to clean up here and let me go to rest, or let me come." Zhang Taibai immediately wanted to snatch the broom from Hua Tianwen's hand.
Hua Tianwen waved his hand again and again, "Don't don't, if Master sees me instructing you to do this and that, you should criticize me again, if you want to help, go get a mop, let's go together." ”
"Okay!" Zhang Taibai didn't talk nonsense, and ran to the back in a hurry.
Zhang Taibai still respects Hua Tianwen, the senior brother, and he took the initiative to ask for help not to please the other party, but simply because Hua Tianwen has always taken good care of him.
However, when Zhang Taibai came back from behind with a mop and a bucket, he found that something was wrong in the hall...... The third senior brother Hua Tianwen, who was supposed to be sweeping the floor, stopped his movements at some point, and was communicating in English with three Asian faces in suits who suddenly appeared at the door of the martial arts hall with a wary face.
"Japanese?" Zhang Taibai raised his eyebrows slightly.
The people of China, Japan, and South Korea all look the same in the eyes of other races, and it is impossible to distinguish who is from which nationality just by their appearance, but they can still see some differences for themselves. What's more, Zhang Taibai is open to do business, and he has seen countless Japanese and Koreans, and most of the time he can basically tell them at a glance.
Because of the distance, Zhang Taibai couldn't hear what the third senior brother Hua Tianwen was talking to the three Asian men in suits, but he could easily distinguish that the three people were Japanese.
After taking a few steps forward, Zhang Taibai heard Tsinghua Tianwen talking to the three of them in his English with some accents, "...... I have already told you, Master, he went out on errands, and now he is not in the martial arts hall, if you have anything to see him, you can leave your contact information, and I will tell you. ”
The Japanese man at the head said with a smile, "We won't leave if we don't see Mr. Li Luofeng today, and I would like you to pass it on on your behalf." ”
"Why, listen to what you mean, if Master doesn't see you, it won't work, right?" After Hua Tianwen heard the words of the Japanese opposite, his tone suddenly became cold, "Originally, it was not impossible to help you convey it, but now it seems that you are not good......
"Since it's a wicked guest, then don't blame me for not being polite, do you leave by yourself or let me throw you out, choose for yourself!"
"Yaga!!" The two Japanese who followed the leader shouted angrily.
Zhang Taibai noticed that their hands were leaning behind them when they were drinking, which made Zhang Taibai suddenly secretly vigilant in his heart, put down the mop in his hand, and slowly moved towards the sword stand next to him.
"Hmm-" The Japanese man at the head shook his head slightly, stopped the anger of the two men, and said to Hua Tianwen in a tone that seemed to be smiling rather than smiling, "Young man, I think it's better for you not to act rashly...... Even if your master is here, he may not dare to say anything about throwing us out, but as his disciple, you better not make trouble for him, right? ”
"Ridiculous!"
Hua Tianwen's eyes were cold, and he grabbed the neckline of the Japanese man at the head!
If this Japanese man just said how he was, he wouldn't be so impatient so quickly, but this person talked about his master Li Luofeng three times and twice, which made him very unhappy. He decided to teach these people a lesson and let them know how powerful the Luofeng Martial Arts Pavilion was!
At the moment when Hua Tianwen made a move, a follower on the left behind the leader man also suddenly stepped forward and punched the hand that Hua Tianwen leaned out towards the leader man!
Hua Tianwen's sharp eyes found that there seemed to be a few black thorns on the fist of the follower who made the shot!
"It's not good, it's a tiger!" Hua Tianwen's complexion changed sharply.
The hand of the previous attendant was hidden in his sleeve, so he couldn't see if there was a weapon in his hand, and it wasn't until he shot at this time that Hua Tianwen discovered the viciousness of the other party.
It is true that he is a martial artist, but the body is still a mortal body after all, if he really encounters the finger tiger full of spikes, the most direct end is a few more holes in his hands!
After discovering this, Hua Tianwen's reaction was not slow.
The hand he leaned out instantly turned in a direction, grabbed the wrist of the man who made the follower, turned his back to the man in charge, and threw the follower out reflexively!
The other follower of the man at the head did not intend to let go of this good opportunity for Hua Tianwen to turn his back on them, and made a decisive move towards Hua Tianwen's waist!
Like the man before him, he has sharp metal fingers on his fists!
Hua Tianwen was not fighting with someone on the first day, and he was not unprepared for this, while he threw the previous person out, the broom in his other hand swept violently from the side, directly sweeping towards the other henchman who was about to attack him!
The man who was blocked from sight and way by the broom, rubbed his hands together and broke the broom!
Take a step forward and plan to charge up your attack again!
However, at the same time as he broke the broom, Hua Tianwen's heel had already appeared in front of his eyes, and kicked him out!!
In just a few seconds, the two followers have all GG!
Syllable! Syllable! Syllable! ……
The man at the head applauded and smiled calmly, "Sure enough, he is worthy of being Mr. Li Luofeng's senior apprentice, and he does have some real skills, and my two unsuccessful subordinates make you laugh." ”
"Who the hell are you?!"
Hua Tianwen gasped and asked as he stared at the man in charge.
