Chaotic Martial Arts: I Have Too Many Brothers

Chapter 57: Not supporting is the greatest support.

About ten?

The old demon thought about it and agreed that it made sense. He had experienced the quality of the Hundred-Forged Blade before, and it was indeed easy to forge.

Nowadays, everyone in the martial arts world has such a powerful weapon.

"Hey brother, how about this, you give me ten of these? I won't take advantage of you, ten thousand taels per hand, how about it?"

On the one hand, Lao Yao is not short of money.

On the other hand, in this era of cold weapons, a high-quality weapon is a lifesaver, and it's worth spending any amount of money on it.

Not long ago, someone forged a divine sword that could cut through iron like mud, which was bought for a high price of 200,000 taels of silver.

"What are you saying, brother? Since you've asked, what's wrong with giving you this knife?"

"You're still talking to me about money? Are you looking down on your brothers?"

With a drunken look on his face, Ye Tian spoke with obvious dissatisfaction.

He casually waved to Iron Fist behind him.

"Go back now and bring the knife over for your brother to see."

"Yes, brother!"

Since it was Ye Tian's order, Iron Fist had no choice but to comply.

He nodded and then left.

"No, no, no, that won't do. You still have to pay."

"No, no matter what you say, these are my gifts for my brother."

"Brother, if you say that, you're not giving me, your older brother, any face."

"..."

After much back and forth, Ye Tian finally agreed with 'helplessness'.

Seeing Ye Tian nod, the old demon smiled with satisfaction, not feeling at all that the price was too high.

"Since you trust me so much, brother, I'll tell you some things in advance to avoid any misunderstandings later."

Seeing that the old demon was serious, Ye Tian calmed down considerably.

"Brother, just speak your mind."

"Brother, you want to be the leader of the hall, right?"

"nature."

At times like these, if you try to hide things, it becomes less transparent. People in the underworld, even if they have their own calculations, generally prefer to speak frankly and openly.

This also reflects Ye Tian's consistent straightforward and unpretentious nature.

Only an old demon would appreciate it this way.

"To be honest, I can't help you with this. In fact, I'll not only not help you, but I'll also kick you when you're down."

After saying this, the old demon leaned back with a smile.

They seemed to want to see how Ye Tian would react.

"..."

It was somewhat unexpected; if it were someone with an impulsive personality, the situation would probably have cooled down immediately.

Ye Tian wasn't a fool. Since the old demon would say it so directly, there must be another reason, and Ye Tian quickly figured it out.

"The fact that they won't help me is the greatest help they can give me, right?"

"Hahaha!"

Upon hearing Ye Tian's insightful remark, the old demon burst into laughter.

"Smart, I like smart people like you."

The calmer Ye Tian was, the more the old demon liked him. He couldn't become the hall master with just passion, and even if he did, he would fall down quickly.

The old demon also wanted to know.

Whether Ye Tian in front of me is worthy of my bet seems to be quite good in every way.

"To be honest, brother, since you came to find me, you must know who my sister is."

"nature."

Pig Sister, one of the eight leaders of the Blackwater Gang.

"What if I told you that I also trained Poison Dragon? He was by my side when I first entered the martial arts world."

At this point, the old demon looked reminiscing, as if he were reminiscing about the glorious years of the past.

Poison Dragon?

Poison Dragon, one of the Eight Hall Masters?

Apart from the hall master and the gang leader, no one else really knew about this matter. Ye Tian had just received the news.

No wonder!

His gaze was clear.

If the three hall masters join forces, and if Lao Yao were to support another hall master at this time, it would mean that half of the hall masters in the Blackwater Gang would be from Lao Yao's faction.

The tree catches the wind.

At that point, even the leader of the Blackwater Gang would probably be in a precarious position.

Therefore, no matter who Lao Yao expresses support for to take the position of gang leader, the gang leader and the other hall masters will never agree. Lao Yao's greatest support for himself is to support his opponent.

"Thank you for your frank words, brother. I have learned a lot."

"Hahaha!"

The old demon patted Ye Tian on the shoulder without any hesitation.

"You'll understand some things naturally once you're in the position of leader. The Blackwater Gang isn't that simple!"

To become one of the three top gangs in Linshui City, they are naturally no ordinary people.

After chatting for a while longer...

After Iron Fist delivered the ten hundred-forged swords, Ye Tian left.

,,,

"Can you tell what's different about this person?"

While inspecting the quality of the ten knives, he asked Hua Gu a question.

The slight drunkenness he had shown while drinking with Ye Tian had long since vanished from his face.

different?

After thinking for a moment, Hua Gu said.

"His knife is very good."

The sword at her waist has now officially become a hundred-times-forged sword, showing that Hua Gu truly loves it.

"..."

Forget it, it's pointless to ask.

"A hidden dragon lurks in the abyss; this young man is no ordinary person."

Seeing Ye Tian was like seeing his former self – incredibly brave and with a clear mind. No, he was even better than his former self.

Having reached this position, Lao Yao is well aware of the importance of connections.

Even if such a young man's future achievements are limited to becoming a hall master, he is still worth befriending.

"Go and call Sister Pig and Poison Dragon over here!"

"Yes, brother."

Hua Gu didn't waste any words, accepted the order, and left.

After inspecting the quality of the knife, the old demon put it away with great satisfaction, though a hint of regret remained on his face.

"When the opportunity arises later, I'll see if I can forge a spear of this quality."

The knife is fine.

But the old demon still longed for his spear.

,,,

"Big brother!"

After leaving the old demon's territory, Ye Tian's previously unsteady steps became steady.

The drunkenness on his face had completely disappeared.

In the world of martial arts, it's inevitable to sometimes need to feign compliance.

Anyone who dares to get drunk on someone else's turf must have something wrong with their head.

Upon returning to his residence, Mei Yongning immediately came to greet him.

"Pass the word down and get the forge up and running!"

Upon seeing the other person, Ye Tian smiled, waved, and said something.

These words made Mei Yongning's eyes light up.

He immediately realized that the business deal had been finalized.

"clear!"

He hurriedly jogged away, and as for Iron Fist and Ghost Foot who had been following behind him, Ye Tian smiled and waved his hand.

"You've been following me all day, now you should go back and rest."

"Big brother, we're not tired."

I didn't actually do anything all day; I just walked around.

"Stop talking nonsense. You're already back. What danger could there be? Go and rest if I tell you to."

Even die-hard fans aren't robots; their bodies will get tired eventually. Ye Tian wouldn't treat them like mules.

"This...is, Big Brother!"

Seeing that Ye Tian insisted on saying so, the two had no choice but to nod in agreement.

In the empty courtyard, Ye Tian looked up at the bright moon in the sky. The weather was getting cooler, and it was getting dark much earlier than expected.

"This era is fantastic!"
