In the world of martial arts, grind your skill level to become a saint.

"this…?"

Inside the private room, the group exchanged glances, unsure of Jiang Yan's intentions.

So, since he's just returning to the Jiang family's inner city, there's no need to distance himself so completely.

Why would you even rename a trivial martial arts forum that you created yourself?

"Senior Sister Jiang, is there some activity starting up in the city again?"

Tang Huang frowned and asked.

He wasn't from the inner city, and although his family was well-off, they were still far behind people like Jiang Yan.

Jiang Yan's departure and her attempt to distance herself from him made him somewhat worried.

Is the Inner City Martial Arts Alliance about to make some move, which is why they are being so cautious?

"No, it's my own fault..." Jiang Yan shook her head, not expecting these people to be so sensitive.

"I've been at the boxing academy for quite some time now, and my strength hasn't improved, so there's not much point in staying here any longer. My clan also won't allow me to waste any more time."

Jiang Yan's family, the Jiang family, is a well-known family in the inner city, so there are quite a few young people in the family.

However, Jiang Yan's talent is not outstanding among the younger generation; in fact, it can be said to be quite mediocre.

If it weren't for her clan chief father constantly providing her with various resources, she wouldn't have been able to enjoy them at all, given her talent. But the final result was disappointing.

Jiang Yan has been in the Iron Skin Mirror realm for over a year, but her Yue Shan Fist training has only condensed three blood vortex patterns.

It's still a long way from reaching eight blood vortexes.

With her talent, it would take her several more years to break through to the Bronze Skin level. Her father was already very dissatisfied and had given her instructions not to waste any more time, but to return to the clan and accept the marriage arranged by the Jiang family to contribute to the clan. The other members of the clan also had many complaints about her mediocre talent.

The longer she stayed at the Yueshan Boxing Gym, the more depressed she felt. From Tang Huang's overwhelming talent, she watched helplessly as he closed in on her, condensing a blood vortex in just one month. Even Su Hao, whom she had always looked down upon, eventually caught up with her progress.

She knew that if she stayed here, she would become a laughing stock sooner or later, so leaving as soon as possible was the best option, at least to preserve some dignity.

As for that so-called martial arts discussion, it would be best to disband it, because Master Liu has previously stated that he does not want such things to exist in the boxing academy, as it affects the atmosphere.

But the main reason is that she feels that if this martial arts forum continues to exist, and one day someone asks who the founder is, and the answer is that it was founded by a person who only has a metal mirror, wouldn't they scoff at it?

She didn't want to be judged after she left.

"So that's how it is..."

Upon hearing Jiang Yan's words, the others nodded slightly.

Although these people have enjoyed resources that ordinary people cannot access from childhood to adulthood, they also bear considerable responsibilities.

Having enjoyed the resources, they were obligated to contribute to the family. Therefore, not only Jiang Yan, but almost everyone present felt pressured.

Immediately, everyone skipped that topic and began discussing Zhou Zhengtang's wedding the day after tomorrow.

These people had always been with Zhou Zhengtang; they belonged to the same circle.

So naturally, they all received invitations.

As the group discussed how Zhou Zhengtang's marriage to the Ren family was likely due to their recent cooperation, Tang Huang, who had been listening attentively, seemed somewhat distracted.

Thinking about Jiang Yan's previous actions, why did she have to leave now, of all times, to say she wanted to return to her clan?

He couldn't help but become secretly wary.

"Could those people be lying to me?"

Tang Huang sensed that Jiang Yan might have obtained some inside information, which was why she wanted to leave ahead of time.

But thinking back to the people from the Eight Great Families he had previously met, and considering the conditions they had offered, he was unsure who to trust.

"In that case, the plan needs to be moved up a bit, otherwise, if we miss this opportunity, there won't be another chance like this..."

Tang Huang cursed inwardly, his fists clenched.

Two more days passed in the blink of an eye.

On this day, Nanzan Town became extremely lively because it was the auspicious day of the joint tobacco-making between the Zhou family, a major medicinal herb producer in Nanzan Town, and the Ren family in Ishibashi Town.

Both families were major producers of medicinal herbs and had extensive networks of connections. In addition, the Zhou and Ren families had excellent reputations in the outer city.

Therefore, today in Nanzan Town, it can be said that most of the leaders of various forces, families, business associations, and boxing gyms have gathered to offer their congratulations.

The crowds were so dense that the entire Minamiyama town was almost completely packed.

At this moment, in the Zhou family mansion, Zhou Zhengtang was dressed in a bright red groom's suit, with a large "囍" (double happiness) character hanging on his chest, and his face was beaming with smiles.

Beside him was a graceful woman, tall and slender, dressed in a red wedding gown, her face veiled by a beaded phoenix crown.

The two stood in the center of the hall, and with cheers accompanying the wedding ceremony, they kowtowed and paid their respects one by one.

Su Hao was standing on one side of the hall, with Master Liu and a group of Zhou family elders sitting in front of him.

However, behind these people, there were also some young people standing and waiting, watching the sworn brotherhood ceremony.

Su Hao shook his head as he watched Zhou Zhengtang's somewhat awkward sworn brotherhood ceremony.

No matter how stubborn this guy was before, he immediately revealed his true colors when it came to the actual wedding ceremony.

Turning his gaze back, Su Hao once again looked around the mansion.

Many people came to the Zhou family today to share the good news, and most of them were prominent figures from the outer district.

Because they were in the medicinal herb business, the Zhou and Ren families had connections in both the underworld and legitimate society.

They also naturally have their own network of connections.

Now that they heard about the marriage between the two families, everyone naturally came to offer their congratulations.

This also allowed Su Hao to see some of the Zhou family's strength.

In this outer city area, everyone has some degree of influence.

After scanning the area, Su Hao's gaze returned to the doorway.

To be precise, it landed on Tang Huang and his group of figures standing in the outer courtyard.

Because of the limited space in the mansion, the guests arranged by the Zhou family were generally seated according to their status and position.

Although this is a practical approach, it is also the only way.

After all, there were too many people, and it was impossible to arrange them all in the main hall; the Zhou family couldn't accommodate so many people.

As for why Su Hao was able to stay in the main hall, and even follow Master Liu around.

This was naturally made possible by Zhou Zhengtang's arrangements.

As Zhou Zhengtang's mentor, Liu Chongshan truly inherited the teachings of the master, so he naturally received extremely high treatment in terms of etiquette.

Su Hao, who already had a close relationship with Zhou Zhengtang, was naturally arranged by Zhou Zhengtang to stay by Liu Shi's side alone, which, in his words, was to show respect to Liu Shi.

As for the other members, they had already been seated in the outer seats.

Tang Huang and his group, being from the same circle as Zhou Zhengtang, were also arranged to wait in the courtyard.

"Hehe! Junior Brother Tang, what are you thinking about?"

At this moment, Mu Bai, who was sitting at the table, also glanced in the direction of the inner hall and asked with a smile.
