Capítulo 13: Chapter 12 Fuck! What terrible stats
Scorpion Gang? Ru Chan had never heard of those guys before. However, it was only natural as ever since he woke up, his body condition was so terrible that he wasn't able to leave the house.
Coincidentally, he hadn't been around for more than a month, so how would he know how the rules of the slum worked?
As for Qing Ming, Ru Chan shot him a cold glare. Despite only meeting twice, Ru Chan never had a good impression of this kid. This was because, this matchstick looking youth was completely worthless.
At least as far as he could see, this thin bone didn't have any redeeming qualities. That's right, not a single good impression of him.
Back then, Ru Chan had remembered when he woke up severely injured. Tang Ning had bandaged him while he laid on the bed with an aching body.
Because she wasn't used to dealing with this kind of situation, Tang Ning had called Qing Ming over for help. After all, they could practically be considered neighbors due to the short distance.
However, when he laid eyes on Ru Chan, a strange light flashed in his eyes as he immediately relayed his thoughts to Tang Ning without bothering to lower his voice.
"Ning Ning, this person looks like trouble. I think you should get rid of him immediately". Qing Ming announced as his eyes held hidden hostility towards Ru Chan.
When he heard Qing Ming's words, Ru Chan was so angry that he nearly spat out a mouthful of fresh blood. As soon as this man laid eyes on him, he wanted his life.
Tang Ning's expression turned cold as she shot the thin bone a frosty glare. Seeing her chilly expression, the thin bone panicked as he hurriedly came up with reasons to justify himself.
"Don't get me wrong, he is beaten up and covered with bruises. From the looks of it, this person already has one foot in the grave. This clearly shows that he was involved in some kind of bad business".
"That's why I sense that he is nothing but trouble. You should probably get rid of him!" He stated in a much milder tone.
What a joke, despite only being 17 years old, Tang Ning was already a cultivator who had reached 1st Phase Dantian establishment. It was a well-known fact that she was a cultivator in the slums.
This was also the reason Tang Ning was never really bothered much. After all, in the cultivation world, power was everything.
More than 80% of the people living in the slums were mortals with zero cultivation bases. Majority of them had no access to cultivation resources, and they were like the previous Ru Chan, who didn't have any talent for cultivation.
Only the small minority were cultivators, and Tang Ning was among that minority. So, people would usually avoid seeking trouble with her, even though other girls her age in the slums were now playthings or sex toys of thugs in the slum gangs and prostitute houses.
Even his father had to show a degree of respect for Tang Ning. It was also because of that, she could obtain those smuggled pills for Ru Chan.
Tang Ning didn't say anything more, and just continued to attend to Ru Chan. Meanwhile, Ru Chan who was gravely injured noticed that weird look in his eyes.
Previously, he was as dumb as a rock because his memories were wiped clean. However, after assimilating some of Ren Lao's memories, his common sense had more or less returned.
He didn't notice before, but now, it only took a glance to see the jealousy that was hidden within his hate filled gaze. This made Ru Chan somewhat perplexed.
This man was hostile towards him because he was jealous? But what for?
However, Ru Chan didn't have time to think about that now. No matter how much he disliked this thin youth in front of him, there were other matters that had to be attended to, foremost.
Upon closer observation, Ru Chan easily deduced that Qing Ming's arm was broken.
"What do you mean that Tang Ning is duking it out? And what's Scorpion gang".
Ru Chan asked frostily. No matter whether he had repaid Tang Ning or not. He still considered her as a friend after all that she had done for him. Hearing that she was in trouble, Ru Chan's expression changed slightly as a hint of murderous intention could be felt on his being.
However, it was so faint that Qing Ming did not notice it. Still, the icy glare sent a chill down his spine, which made him instinctively take a few steps back.
Realizing his subconscious actions, Qing Ming was dumbfounded for a second before becoming furious.
"You piece of trash that can rely solely on a woman. My woman at that, how dare you try to scare me, you weak, pale and useless little piece of sh…"? As he cursed Ru Chan inwardly, Qing Ming suddenly stopped.
The reason for this was simple. And that was the fact that he was taking another good look at Ru Chan. It had been quite a while since he last saw Ru Chan.
However, the last time he saw this brat, he was pale and sickly and looked like he could be tipped over with a slight shove. However, the current youth in front of him looked nothing like before.
He stood tall and firm with his back straight. His short black hair was clean and there wasn't even a hint of paleness on his face.
What was even more surprising was that his previously weak and almost nonexistent aura was nowhere to be found, and in its place was a slight, oozing pressure.
Qing Ming couldn't figure out why, but Ru Chan didn't look like the sickly youth from before. Currently, he looked more robust and kind of handsome.
"How the hell did this brat transform so much?" Qing Ming asked himself while feeling baffled. It had only been a week or so since they last saw each other.
Did his condition improve that well to the extent of looking good as new? At that moment, Qing Ming suddenly felt a sense of inferiority.
"Or is it the damn Medicinal pills my dad gave her for this brat yesterday? Dad said that while they are low-level ones, they are still medicinal pills nonetheless. I bet that it was those pills that saved this brat's life".
The more he thought about it, the more it seemed plausible. Yesterday, Tang Ning had arrived at their store and swapped out the Essence Gathering pills she originally wanted for Tempering pills.
This had let them baffled,, and it wasn't until she told them the reason that they understood. That moment, Qing Ming felt furious at the thought of Tang Ning wasting money to buy pills for a piece of trash.
He had always been romantically interested in Tang Ning, but the latter was merely polite to him and showed no deeper emotions. So, when he heard that she had willingly gotten pills for another man's condition, how would he not be furious?
"Humph! What do you know? You are just an outsider who doesn't know his place. The Scorpion Gang is one of the top gangs in the city, not only are...."
As Ru Chan listened, Qing Ming began shooting his mouth off. As he absorbed the info being expelled, Ru Chan's facial features became increasingly hideous.
According to Qing Ming, the Scorpion gang was one of the few powers that resided within the city. Not only were they bossy, but they also served as a local tyrant and behaved unruly and willful.
Even the few clans that were in the city would avoid contacting scorpion gang members as much as possible. This further fueled their ego as the Scorpion gang became even more daring.
Every month, they would come to the slums and charge every household in their territory a fine sum of money as 'protection fees'. Of course, the scorpion gang never gave any form of protection.
This was basically armed robbery under open daylight. However, not having the power to resist, those unfortunate souls in the slums had no choice but to lower their heads in front of the scorpion gang's influential power.
They were only mortals, after all meanwhile, most of the members of the scorpion gang were already cultivators and martial artists. In the face of absolute power, they could only grit their teeth and cough up whatever they had on them.
Things usually worked with them, always getting their way. Until today, that is.
"He-he! You have gotten her in so much trouble, now you will certainly have to pay the price!" Qing Ming grinned as a malicious sneer appeared on his lips.
Ru Chan frowned, but it didn't take long for him to figure out what Qing Ming meant.
"Humph! Is this the brat you spoke of?" At that moment, Ru Chan turned towards the door as the silhouette of a man appeared.
He was 1.8 meters tall and had a somewhat muscular body. His long eyebrows and the mustache on his face gave the impression of a rogue and burly fellow, as a small axe hung on his back.
Behind him, were a couple of lackeys as well.
"Senior Gu. Yes, this is the one I mentioned, he is physically weak, so he won't give you any trouble. If you can hold him down, that girl won't dare to fight back".
Qing Ming quickly responded. His attitude had taken a sharp turn from its original cockiness,, and he sounded much more respectful and courteous.
Turning to Ru Chan, his eyes glowed fiercely as a mocking smile appeared on his face as if he were telling Ru Chan" you are doomed brat".
Ru Chan raised an eyebrow as he looked at the group of three that had appeared at his door. Was this the so-called scorpion gang?
Out of curiosity, Ru Chan checked their status information.
