Chapter 368 -144 What? 94 You’ve actually achieved Energy Transformation?_5
Similar friction had occurred before, but due to Peng Shizhong’s assertiveness, there had never been a situation where one suffered a blow without retaliating.
However, after Feng Xuan took over, if someone from the White Tiger Hall dared to attack someone from the main hall, it would be considered insubordination. Not only would they refrain from protecting them, but they would also rush to punish preemptively to avoid displeasing Nan Batian.
The disciples below all felt a pent-up rage they couldn’t vent.
Privately, they even gave Feng Xuan a nickname: Child Hall Master!
Like a hall master who was Nan Batian’s son, the humiliation was evident in their words!
But Feng Xuan wouldn’t care about these things; his only desire was to monopolize power.
…
At dusk, in a small tavern by the entrance of Shunfeng Escort Agency, Zhou Chu sat alone at a table with a plate of peanuts and a pot of liquor, pouring and drinking to himself. He had almost finished the liquor, but hadn’t touched a single peanut.
“Boss, another pot!”
“Alright, coming right up.”
The boss responded, but another person took the pot of liquor from the boss’s hand, saying, “I’ll take it over.”
The boss was startled but handed it over to the newcomer.
The person with the pot approached Zhou Chu’s table.
“Just set it down here.”
Zhou Chu let out a burp and knocked on the table.
The man didn’t put down the pot; instead, he poured himself a cup and sat opposite Zhou Chu, grabbing a handful of peanuts to eat.
Zhou Chu frowned. Who was this, so bold to drink his liquor?
“You…”
He had only uttered “you” when he froze. He saw the person sitting opposite him dressed in coarse clothes with a bamboo hat on his head, looking down, face unclear, eating peanuts, and taking a sip of liquor.
“You, you look familiar.”
Zhou Chu had drunk a pot of liquor and his head was spinning; now he spoke.
“You, lift your head, let me see.”
At Zhou Chu’s words, the man with the bamboo hat lifted his head.
A face full of smiles, casually tossing another peanut into his mouth—crack!
Zhou Chu stood, stunned, looking at the person in front of him, then suddenly couldn’t help but burst into tears.
Wuwuwu…
Tears streaming, he covered his eyes with his hands.
“Hey, hey, Old Zhou, don’t cry, don’t cry!”
Chen Jie stood up, reaching out to help.
“Don’t you fucking call me Old Zhou, you son of a bitch, where the hell have you been, do you have any idea what I’ve been through these past days, wuwuwu…”
Zhou Chu swatted Chen Jie’s hand away and continued sobbing.
“Enough, enough, I know you’ve been wronged, but a grown man crying like this, isn’t it embarrassing!”
“Embarrassing? What’s embarrassing to me? These past days I’ve been so angry I could have killed someone!”
Zhou Chu wiped away his tears, looked up at Chen Jie, and suddenly laughed again.
“You’re crying and laughing; are you crazy?”
“No, Jiu Si, it’s just great to see you again!”

Saying this, Zhou Chu embraced Chen Jie, who said, “Hey, hey, man, don’t be disgusting, I know you’ve been scared, but I’m back and everything’s going to be okay.”
Zhou Chu let go of Chen Jie and said, “I was really afraid that they had caught you; this time, Feng Xuan is out to get you killed!”
Hearing this, Chen Jie said, “I know, also, don’t you want to ask me if I killed my foster father?”
“How could it possibly be you? Only a fool would believe that you killed your foster father.”
Zhou Chu trusted Chen Jie completely, then his face turned serious, “Jiu Si, are you back in town to take Yunjin away? If you’re leaving, you better hurry; Mianshui City’s dangerous right now.”
“No, I’m not leaving, haha, I’m back for revenge!”
“Ah, Jiu Si, don’t be foolish; you can’t handle Feng Xuan right now; he’s achieved Energy Transformation. Today, with a single palm strike, he killed Eagle Da and drove away Uncle Fu. He’s unstoppable now.”
“Energy Transformation, haha, is Energy Transformation that amazing?”
Chen Jie didn’t say much, but lifted his hand, and with that, a faint layer of Gang Qi appeared above his palm. Seeing this, Zhou Chu’s eyes widened in shock.
“Gang, Gang Qi, Jiu Si, you’ve achieved Energy Transformation too!”
Chen Jie smiled, “Genuine as they come.”
“Hahaha, this, this is fantastic! You really didn’t let me and the brothers down; to think you’ve reached Energy Transformation in such a short time. How do you say it with your term, that’s right, badass, totally badass! Hahaha…”
Having been with Chen Jie long enough, Zhou Chu had also picked up some modern terms.
Chen Jie asked, “How many men do we still have on our side?”
Zhou Chu responded sadly, “Well… everyone’s just trying to eke out a living, try not to take it too hard.”
“I know, those who are willing to stick with me now are loyal. But how many do we have, after all?”
After hearing this, Zhou Chu said, “After the incident with you, over a hundred of our people ran off that day, and more followed suit afterward. Now there’s only eight who are willing to follow you, through thick and thin. I’ve arranged for them all to stay at Shunfeng Escort Agency.”
“Eight people, that’s not too few. Blessing in disguise, they say, it’s not easy to screen for loyal people usually, but now I’ve been given a group to count on.”
Zhou Chu had eight people, Xiao Hu had five. These thirteen people would be the core group Chen Jie needed to foster for the future.
And as long as they were loyal enough, he wouldn’t be stingy about developing their skills; it goes without saying that if Chen Jie were to rise to prominence, they would rise with him.
Zhou Chu, having heard what Chen Jie said, asked, “Jiu Si, are you looking for me for something specific?”
“That’s right, I’ve arranged for someone to capture Huadie. She knows the true reason behind my foster father’s death. Tomorrow, I intend to clear my name and avenge my foster father!”
Zhou Chu, taken aback, then asked, “Huadie? I thought she was dead?”
