(Episode 8: Turn)

(Fictional anime set in a fantasy world. Parental guidance for underage viewers.)

Xiao, why are you here?

I have something to attend to and need to go out for a while.

It's quite late, rest early.

Those guys definitely won't dare to cause trouble at the Huishan Martial Arts School.

Ying,

just rest assured and take a good rest.

(Huishan Martial Arts School Wei He's dormitory) I'm worried that they're hiding

at places where you can't see.

It's hard to guard against them.

These days,

it's better for you not to go out.

Understood.

I'm practicing in the martial arts school.

I won't go anywhere.

I can't always hide in the martial arts school.

After all, I'm exposed,

while Xiangqu Sect is hiding.

During this time, I need to be careful in everything.

Xiao.

Wei, your progress is truly impressive,

worthy of admiration.

Xiao, I'm flattered.

I just felt the signs of a breakthrough yesterday.

I was planning to find time today to consult the Master.

Really?

No wonder you were able to counter-kill so many people from Xiangqu Sect.

Wei, don't be nervous.

If I wanted to harm you,

I wouldn't be telling you these things here.

Wei, you may not know,

but yesterday I actually treated several batches of disciples from the martial arts school.

This is a task arranged for me by Xiangqu Sect

through the Seven Family Alliance.

Xiangqu Sect,

what do they want?

Their adversary

is lurking within the martial arts school.

Could it be that my identity was exposed during the incident at Shaoyang Mountain last time?

Xiao, you're telling me this,

aren't you afraid they'll come after you?

Why ask knowingly, Wei?

The incident where all those arrogant members

of Xiangqus Sect were killed outside the city overnight,

I have heard something about it.

What?

They can completely uproot Xiangqu Sect's influence in Feiye City?

The forces behind you

seem formidable, Wei.

He thinks my backing is responsible for this,

hence the caution.

I'll deceive him for now.

Xiao, you're truly clever.

If not for joining the Hong Fortress,

I wouldn't have been able to pull off such a thing.

Hong Fortress.

Wei, you're quite mysterious.

(Jiang's living room)

I didn't expect Xiangqu Sect to be so useless,

resulting in their downfall.

Now it's spreading everywhere

that this is a case of internal conflict within our Seven Family Alliance.

This incident

must be Hong Fortress spreading rumors behind the scenes.

Regardless,

the removal of Xiangqu Sect from our territory

is a great humiliation.

What should we do?

Xiangqu Sect has significant influence in the wilderness,

and we still need them to help us

resist Hong Fortress's infiltration.

Prepare and visit their branch

to express our sincere desire

for continued cooperation.

Yes.

Additionally,

ask Xiao Ran to convince Master Zheng to stand with the Seven Family Alliance as soon as possible.

Although the Huishan Martial Arts School is small,

the Warrior Alliance behind it is crucial for us.

We must not lose it.

I will urge him.

Given his current status in Master Zheng's eyes,

it should be soon enough

to persuade Master Zheng.

When did Junior you get involved with external forces outside the city, Wei?

It couldn't be during the last delivery with the Yonghe Escort Agency, could it?

Xiao,

knowing too much about certain things

can attract unnecessary trouble.

I understand.

So, I'm not trying to inquire about anything.

I just want to ask youfor a favor, Wei.

What?

I want to establish a good relationship with the forces

behind you, Wei.

Although I am currently highly valued by the Seven Family Alliance,

the current situation

is unpredictable,

and I cannot risk putting all my eggs in one basket.

Isn't that right, Wei?

The guy originally wanted to play both sides.

If you're willing to help me keep the secret, Xiao,

I will definitely return the favor.

When the time is right,

I will recommend you to Hong Family Fortress.

Wei, rest assured.

I've already sorted things out

with the Seven Family Alliance.

The enemy has been identified.

It's Luo Cheng from the martial arts school.

Unexpectedly, he kept a low profile.

When the custodian went to arrest him,

he managed to counterattack and escape.

I received the news and rushed there,

but he has disappeared without a trace.

Now, the Seven Family Alliance believes

that the enemy they are looking for is someone else,

no one will come to disturb you anymore, Wei.

Thanks a lot, Xiao.

No problem.

I still need you to introduce me to the Hong Fortress.

Stick to the path of neutrality.

Beyond the chaos and conflicts,

lies the foundation where the warrior alliance stands and thrives.

If you aspire to be the head of the martial arts school in the future,

you must adhere to these rules.

Zheng still clings

to the path of moderation even at this point.

What do you want?

Blame it on yourself.

You've chosen the wrong side.

Triple Qi Blood.

Jiang Su,

go to the inner room and bring me some melon seeds.

Master,

Senior Qing won't let you snack on melon seeds.

It's rare for Senior Qing and Junior Cheng to go to the Yonghe Escort Agency,

and there's no one to look after Master.

Of course, Master should enjoy himself.

Jiang Su,

don't spoil the mood.

Jiang Yan understands me.

Master.

What's the matter?

I feel

Qi Blood is surging within my body,

showing signs of a breakthrough.

I would like you to take a look, Master.

Let Senior Jiang take a look.

Please, Jiang.

Since that's the case,

let me try with you, Wei.

If I fight too heavy,

Wei,

don't blame me.

Jiang,

Come on.

Double Qi Blood.

Good.

You're reaching the level of Stoneskin.

You've been back at the Huishan Martial Arts School for quite some time now.

How long has it been since your last breakthrough?

It's been almost half a year

since the assessment with the Bullskin.

Though he hasn't caught up with Xiaoran,

he's actually made a breakthrough.

Haha,

not bad.

It seems your hard work has paid off.

Master, we're in trouble!

He was severely injured.

What happened?

We're not sure either.

When we found Senior Xiao,

he was already so badly injured,

lying unconscious outside an alley.

His meridians suffered extensive damage.

The methods used were ruthless.

Recovering from such injuries

is almost impossible.

Doesn't this mean Xiao Ran is finished?

This guy!

I spent so much effort on him for nothing.

Master.

Who hurt you?

The person wore a mask

and is a formidable expert with Triple Qi Blood.

He said,

I stood on the wrong side.

Could it be a Triple Qi Blood expert from the Hong Fortress?

Master, my injuries...

Ough!

I warned you not to get involved in those troubles,

but you wouldn't listen.

Hong Fortress is targeting you,

putting on a show for the Seven Family Alliance.

Jiang.

Xiao,

take good care of your injuries.

Recover soon.

Jiang,

within the inner city, the Seven Family Alliance will surely find a solution.

Help Junior Xiao.

I'll look into it later.

Knowing Master Zheng,

he will soon find a successor.

This guy just broke through,

and he might be chosen.

I need to pay more attention to him.

Quickly, take Xiao Ran back to his room.

Get paper and pen.

Yes.

Take this prescription to get the medicine.

Brew it and give it to Xiao Ran.

Everyone, disperse.

Wei He,

come with me.

Master, don't worry.

Senior Xiao is exceptionally talented.

Maybe with some rest,

his meridians could recover.

I dare not entertain the faint hope of that happening.

Do you think there are many disciples in our martial arts school?

You should know Luo Cheng.

He has been with me for many years,

always stuck at the Bullskin level.

Finally, he couldn't endure it anymore.

Last night, he left me this note,

saying he's going to work as a guardian in another place.

Disciples of the martial arts school

often end up

becoming guards or even thugs

after practicing for a while without seeing hope.

They leave at a moment's notice.

So, in my opinion,

although there are many people in the martial arts school,

there are very few true disciples.

Among them,

only a few give me hope.

Qing's potential

basically is almost completely shown.

What about Jiang Yan?

Stagnant in the Stoneskin level for many years.

He is also a member of the Seven Family Alliance,

destined to leave sooner or later.

Jiang Su's aptitude is average,

unfit for significant use.

As for Cheng Shaojiu,

his aptitude is slightly better,

but his diligence is lacking.

Originally, I intended to cultivate Xiao Ran

as the future of the Huishan Martial Arts School.

However, he's too sharp,

resulting in today's event.

On the other hand, you,

steady and consistent,

you broke through from the Bullskin to the Stoneskin in a shorter time than anyone else.

You have great potential.

The Master's favoritism has changed rather quickly.

This is the Ironskin technique of the Huishan Fist.

Thank you, Master.

I am getting old.

The Huishan Martial Arts School increasingly needs a young person

to take over the heavy responsibility on my shoulders.

If you can successfully cultivate to the Ironskin level

and enter the Triple Qi Blood,

I will host a celebration for you,

formally announcing

that you will inherit the mantle of the Huishan Martial Arts School.

At that time,

whether it's the meat fields of exotic beasts or cultivation techniques,

I will pass them on to you.

Thank you, Master, for your kindness.

It's getting late.

Go back and contemplate the techniques.

(Huishan Martial Arts School Dormitory)

Ough!

Finally, someone has come.

I just didn't expect it

to be you, Wei.

Xiao, you helped me conceal the matter of Xiangqu Sect.

I should repay you.

Here is the medicine prepared by Jiang Su.

She will be here soon.

Senior Jiang treated me like a brother,

so I thought he would come to see me.

I never expected

that he wouldn't even glance at me.

Now I understand why you chose to join the Hong Fortress, Wei.

At least, they still have some loyalty to you.

Xiao, you were injured by the Hong Fortress.

Don't you hate them?

The Hong Fortress took action against me, a member of the Seven Family Alliance,

which is nothing unusual.

But the Seven Family Alliance disregards me since I'm injured,

which is too heartless.

If I had another chance,

I would rather choose the Hong Fortress like you, Wei

than stay with the Seven Family Alliance.

Xiao,

I'll be honest with you.

I have no connection with the Hong Fortress.

Otherwise,

if I knew they were planning to harm you,

I would definitely inform you.

I'm sorry.

At that time, I just wanted you to help me keep a secret, Xiao,

just casually telling a lie.

I am a disciple of the martial arts school

and cannot violate the principles of the Warrior Alliance

by getting involved in these disputes.

Your attitude

is exactly like Master's.

The Seven Family Alliance and the Hong Fortress will inevitably have a battle sooner or later.

We are still young

and must make choices early

for a future path.

Thanks a lot, Xiao, for your guidance.

I need to go back and practice.

I won't disturb your rest, Xiao.

In this chaotic world,

it's survival of the fittest.

There is no neutrality.

When that day truly arrives,

the first to be wiped out

will undoubtedly be those who consider themselves neutral

but are actually isolated and helpless.
