Cheng Cheng looked at Liu Feiyan with a helpless look. She was still in the mood to think about this when she beat his nephew like that.

"Okay, I promise you." Cheng Cheng didn't think he would lose, so in order to reduce the problems, he agreed in one go.

At this time, an elder in the directory suddenly spoke, "Do you want to register this appointment in the hall?"

"Registration? Is there anything you have to say?" Cheng Cheng was a new person in Xuanwu Hall who could not be new and knew almost nothing about various rules. He didn't quite understand. He just had a fight between the two, and he still needed to register?

The elder smiled and said, "There are still some differences. If you don't make a record, it will be a private fight. If something happens, the church will not be responsible. On the contrary, if you prepare a case, it will be a formal skill. The church will send someone to witness, record the winner and lose, and keep it forever. At the same time, the scene will be controlled to prevent excessively serious consequences."

Cheng Cheng nodded, thought about it again, and suddenly asked, "Will there be an audience?"

"Audience?" The elder was a little surprised: "You still need an audience?"

Cheng Cheng nodded seriously: "I have a quirk. The more audience there are, the more exciting the fight will be."

The elder's eyes widened even wider: "There is such a thing? Well, as long as you register, the hall will recommend you to the board and place it at the gate for publicity. With your popularity these days, there should be a lot of audiences."

"Okay, I'll file." He turned to look at the Liu family's aunts and nephews: "You have no objection, do you?"

Liu Dezhong looked confused: "Aunt..."

"Don't talk, listen to my aunt, we'll make up this battle."

The next moment, her broad body lay on the stage of the directory: "Remember it to me. Three days later, the location will be set at the Grand Martial Arts Fair."

...

Seeing the figures of the aunt and nephew disappear outside the yard, Cheng Cheng couldn't help but shake his head.

Although this fight was made, he always felt something was wrong.

Liu Dezhong was beaten to vomit blood in public. No matter who the responsibility was, it was understandable to find face as the other party. However, from what happened just now, it was obvious that Liu Dezhong did not have a strong fight, and it seemed that he lacked confidence. Instead, Liu Feiyan was determined to fight.

"There is no reason. If Liu Dezhong didn't dare to take revenge, where did his aunt get the confidence? Are you not afraid of losing face again?"

Cheng Cheng signed the registration letter, but as soon as he left, he was blocked by an acquaintance.

"High-light?"

Gao Zhao smiled and nodded slightly: "Does Brother Zhao have time? I want to invite Brother Zhao to have a drink."

Cheng Cheng was stunned. He thought he had no friendship with Gao Zhao and had never even said a few words. He suddenly wanted to treat himself to a meal. What was the singing?

Thinking of the fact that Sister Gui Ji was still suffering from Qian Shengnan's enthusiasm and was anxious to go to rescue him, he lost interest.

"Sorry, there's something really wrong, let's do it someday."

Gao Zhao smiled slightly, but didn't mind, but when Cheng Cheng stepped around, he suddenly said, "Don't you find it strange to Brother Zhao's insistence on Liu Feiyan?"

“Huh?”

Cheng Cheng stopped instantly: "How did Brother Gao know?"

He clearly remembered that during the whole process, there was no one outside the door of the directory office, and Gao Zhao came here later. He could not have had the chance to hear Liu Feiyan's words.

Gao Zhao smiled: "Sometimes, if you want to know what others say, you don't have to rely on your own ears, but you can also rely on other people's ears."

Cheng Cheng was surprised: "Other people's ears?"

He understood the meaning of this sentence, and someone in the directory should have communicated with him. However, as Gao Zhao's identity, he would have such a timely look at the directory and inform him of this seemingly unimportant matter. This is another very unusual thing.

The strong curiosity finally made him give up his plan to go back to save Sister Gui Ji. Let her work harder to take the "sweet" trouble.

After a while, the two appeared in one of the most prosperous streets in Chijin City. From a high-end lobster restaurant for sale to a wonton stall with a pungent chili oil flavor, no matter what you want to eat, you can find it here.

Gao Zhao was obviously very familiar with this place. He turned around in the streets and alleys and sat straight into a small restaurant with no signs.

"Brother Zhao came from Haixi Mansion. I guess he vomited seafood. Today I changed my appetite and tasted the earthy delicacies of our Taiqing Mountain. This grilled pheasant looks inconspicuous, but the taste is really good. Do you want to have two skewers?"

Cheng Cheng smiled and said, "I don't understand, just let Brother Gao arrange it."

Gao Zhao smiled and quickly called a table of local dishes. The style of a large bowl and a large plate was very consistent with Cheng Cheng's preferences, which made him instantly enjoy the appetite.

The two of them happened to be not meticulous and elegant. After a storm, there was not much left. The two looked at each other's mouths full of greasiness, and they both laughed.

"Brother Zhao should be full of confidence in the battle three days later, right?"

Seeing that the other party finally got to the point, Cheng Cheng stopped and raised his head: "It's okay. Why is Brother Gao so concerned about this?"

Gao Zhao raised his eyebrows and said, "Liu Dezhong and I don't deal with each other very well, and Brother Zhao also saw it."

Cheng Cheng thought about it and shook his head: "It's not that simple, right?"

Gao Zhao was stunned and then laughed: "Yes or no, isn't that important? What's important is how much Brother Zhao knows about the Liu family's trump card."

"The Liu family's trump card?" Cheng Cheng felt a little nervous and asked, "Brother Gao means that the Liu family has the means to significantly improve their strength in the short term?"

Looking at Gao Zhao's smile but not answering, Cheng Cheng frowned and said, "I also suspected that Liu Dezhong was beaten so hard that he vomited blood before. Why did he dare to take revenge in such a short time? Could it be that the Liu family had any means? But if there was really, why would Liu Dezhong look unaware of it and not have any confidence?"

Gao Zhao nodded: "You guessed it right, the reason is that Liu Dezhong himself doesn't know it."

"He doesn't know? How is this possible?" Cheng Cheng was very surprised: "How can he not know his own methods?"

Gao Zhao said, "This starts with the characteristics of the Liu family's martial arts." He paused and continued, "Brother Zhao may not know that the unique martial arts of the Liu family are only suitable for women's practice. Even if men practice hard, it will be difficult for men to reach a profound level. Therefore, over time, the dominance of the Liu family fell into the hands of women, such as Liu Qinghong. The men in the clan may not even know what advanced methods they have."

"Since that's the case, how do you know?" Cheng Cheng almost blurted out.

Gao Zhao shrugged: "It's very simple, because someone from my ancestors once suffered this loss. In half a day, the same opponent's skills suddenly surged, and they were caught off guard and suffered a heavy blow."

"So that's how it is." Cheng Cheng also understood a little, why Gao Zhao was in conflict with Liu Dezhong and why he was so concerned about his fight with Liu Dezhong. This is a feud.

"So, how is this method used? Is it using external force to initiate?"

"I don't know this, after all, this is the top secret of the Liu family."

Cheng Cheng nodded helplessly, but still expressed his gratitude to Gao Zhao for her reminder.

The two chatted for a while, and the dishes in front of them had been swept away and the wine was finally seen. Gao Zhao asked Xiaoer to pay the bill.

When he was about to say goodbye and parting, Gao Zhao suddenly said intentionally or unintentionally: "I wonder what the relationship between Brother Zhao and Miss Gan is like?"

"That's it. By chance, I just helped each other. What's wrong?" Cheng Cheng was stunned for a moment, wondering why the other party asked this question.

"Oh?" Gao Zhao hesitated for a moment before saying, "Many people think that you are the young lady's...confidence."

"There is nothing, everyone is thinking too much." Cheng Cheng smiled awkwardly. He knew what the word "confidant" used by the other party and what the meaning behind it, so of course he quickly denied it.

Gao Zhao pondered for a moment, nodded and said, "If not, then I would like to say more. It would be better to stay away from them and be careful to become someone else's cannon fodder."

Hearing this, Cheng Cheng was surprised: "Cannon fodder? Who are these people?"

Gao Zhao said: "You are new to Chijin City. It seems that you really don't know. The wind is rising in Chijin City, and the two factions are competing in secret. I don't know when they will showdown. If you are in it, it's better to protect yourself more."

He looked at Cheng Cheng's increasingly confused expression, smiled bitterly and said, "Do you want to ask, where are the two factions of people from this Chijin City? Who dares to make a small hill under Gan Taiheng's men?"

Cheng Cheng still didn't say anything, just waited quietly for the other party's explanation. He knew that the other party would not stop when it came to this point.

Sure enough, Gao Zhao thought for a while and continued, "Because these two sects are headed by Gan Taiheng, while the other sect is headed by the great elder Gan Gang."

"Gan Gang!"

When Cheng Cheng heard this name, he couldn't help but scream. Because this was the person who beat the master seriously injured with his own hands, and he was his most direct enemy.

Unexpectedly, he would have an opposite relationship with Gan Taiheng. You must know that he is Gan Taiheng’s uncle, where does this start?

Gao Zhao looked at Cheng Cheng curiously, as if he was a little puzzled by his fierce reaction to Gan Gang.

However, he did not stop on this matter, but continued: "You must want to know why the two are their uncles and nephews, so why are there cracks?"

Cheng Cheng nodded and said, "Yes, I really don't understand. Could it be that Gan Gang is coveting the position of the city lord?"

Gao Zhao shook his head gently and said, "It's not that bloody. The conflict between Gan Gang and Gan Taiheng is in his attitude towards other forces. Gan Gang adhered to the will of the previous city lord and decided to sweep Haizhou and completely eliminate the ghost clan. However, Gan Taiheng intended to reconcile with the ghost clan.

This was originally just a difference in the way of doing things, and it was not worth mentioning. For some reason, in recent months, it has become increasingly sharp and gradually showing signs of breaking up."

When Cheng Cheng heard him mention the ghost clan, he was surprised. From this point of view, the conflict between the two sides was very similar to the differences between Gui Ji and He Kui.

If this is true, Gan Taiheng's proposal coincides with Gui Ji. Wouldn't the two of them have the possibility of cooperation?
