Mu Cheng frowned. Although he was happy, he still had to put on an act.

He looked at the old horse beside him and saw that he had closed his eyes.

The old bastard knew that he could not be kind today, but fortunately, he still had the courage to answer loudly: "That's right, back when leopard leopard and I were exploring the world, you were probably not weaned yet, what qualifications do you have to be the hall master?"

"Don't tell me you want to sit, Hall Master of Hong Xing Fifth Hall?"

The old hoodlum was suppressed by Mu Cheng's imposing manner as he stared at Mu Cheng in a daze before stuttering in reply.

"No, no, I didn't mean that."

Mu Cheng looked at this pitiful person with a hint of playfulness. He was afraid that he wouldn't be able to see the sunrise tomorrow.

"Then what do you mean? I think you don't want to live anymore?"

This punch was only a tenth of Mu Cheng's strength. In the end, Mu Cheng's tiny heart was still kind and could not bear to kill, so this kind of action, in other halls, could already be considered a heaven defying act of kindness. If one were to go against the Hall Master, one would only have to cripple their hands and feet, and the heavy would only be the end.

That old scoundrel didn't expect Mu Cheng to suddenly attack him. Everyone in the room let out a breath of cold air and no one heard anything after that. At this time, the room was very quiet. Old Ma also opened his eyes with a look of approval. This person was very good, decisive, ruthless, and his future achievements were limitless.

Everyone understood that this brat who seemed to be a little kid, was probably not that simple. At least in terms of strength, no one could defeat him, and later on, it was said in private that Hall Master Mu had only used a tenth of his strength. This rumor had been spreading for a very long time.

Mu Cheng returned to the main seat and swept his gaze over all the hooligans below the stage. No one dared to raise their head to look at him, as the effect of deterrence had already been achieved. Mu Cheng was very satisfied.

Mu Cheng looked at the old horse at his side. The old horse nodded at him, indicating that he was fine. Mu Cheng turned around and looked down as he spoke.

"From today onwards, I don't care what you guys do in the future, but there is one thing that you are not allowed to extend your hand into the school."

"And not only that, we have to protect them, especially those with good grades."

"If anyone dares to go against my words, once I find out, then the consequences …"

After saying that, Mu Cheng punched a nearby table and scanned the area.

"Do you see it? It will end up like this table."

"Oh right, I forgot to tell you guys that this is only a tenth of my strength. Why don't you go and think it over yourselves?"

The silence lasted for a long time. Finally, someone stood up bravely and asked timidly.

"Hall Master Mu, if we don't collect the school's protection fees, what about our source of income in the future?"

Mu Cheng nodded and indicated for him to sit down before looking at the others.

"Do you all have the same question as him? Alright, I'll tell you all today."

"I will only say this once. As for whether you all understand it or not, that will depend on you all."

As he said this, Mu Cheng paused for a moment before retracting his attention and continuing.

"I'm saying that I won't let you guys hide inside the school. It's definitely okay outside the school."

"But, there's one thing. That person must have money. And, that person must be willing to spend money?"

Instantly, the people below all had an expression of realization.

Mu Cheng looked at these people and definitely didn't understand what they were saying. Sigh, it's really hard for these hooligans to understand the culture of this country bumpkin.

"Never mind, I'll give you guys some hints, but I'll say the ugly things first. If anyone offends me, I'll have the upper hand."

"Then all of you should understand the outcome. Listen up, the ones outside the school I said were those …"

"For example, Zhu Bo, your family is very rich, they like to hang around outside, it's not good if something happens to this kind of people."

"Are we going to protect him? Are we going to charge a fee for the protection?"

Mu Cheng revealed a smile that everyone understood before leaving while everyone was puzzled.

Although Mu Cheng had left, the Five Great Temples were in an uproar. The reason was that a large portion of the people did not understand.

Thus, this hooligan turned to the person beside him and asked, "Hey, brother, do you understand what the hall master is saying?"

"Bro, let's go home and farm. You can't even understand what I'm saying, you're so stupid."

"Hall Master Mu wants us to focus on taking care of that Zhu Bo. Right, who is that Zhu Bo? I'll go look for him tomorrow."

The man at the side looked at him with disdain and said.

"I said that you two brothers shouldn't laugh at each other anymore. It's already the same, Hall Master Mu means that we should squeeze Zhu Bo's last drop of blood dry. That's Hall Master Mu's intention, haha." The other person became even more disdainful when he heard this.

Earlier, the two of them looked at this bastard with a face of worship, then nodded their heads in unison, feeling that it made sense, because those fifty steps of laughter was not something ordinary people could speak of. At the very least, they could not say it.

When Zhu Bo went to sleep at night, his entire body suddenly broke out in a layer of cold sweat.

Just when the fifth hall's hooligans thought they understood, Old Ma suddenly spoke with a profound tone.

"Brothers, if you all go and squeeze Zhu Bo like this, I'm afraid he won't even have a single hair on him."

"Then when the time comes, we're still going to drink the northwest wind."

This was different from before. Everyone in the room knew the old horse well. Upon hearing the sound of the old horse, they all quieted down.

A few of them were anxious and immediately asked, "Little Brother Ma, since you've already followed Boss Qiao for such a long time, we can't compare to you. Just tell us, what is the meaning behind Hall Master Mu's words?"

Although this group of hooligans didn't know how to read a few large words, they were extremely familiar with this kind of flattery. With just a few fawning words, they completely tricked the old man.

However, Old Ma was still clear-headed. He looked at the crowd below and thought to himself.

"Mu Cheng's idea isn't wrong. If it was just a simple and brainless group of people running the Hongxing, then they would be able to do it."

"If not, the Hongxing will decline sooner or later. It should keep pace with the times and attract some people with intelligence to enter the Hongxing."

The old horse shook his head, his thoughts returning to this point.

"Brothers, what Hall Master Mu means is that you can't do anything about the results."

"However, Hall Master Mu didn't say that those with poor results shouldn't be touched. If these people don't study and prefer to play outside, then they'll be in danger."

"If there is any danger, then there will be trouble. However, since we have provided protection, there will be no trouble."

"After that, they would have to collect a protection fee to provide protection. Also, this Zhu Bo is just an example given by Hall Master Mu."

"As for you guys, you can take care of him a bit more, but you can't take care of him all by himself either. He won't even have skin left on him." Upon hearing this, the people below immediately felt that their minds had cleared up. They had their own policies and strategies, and what they said wasn't wrong at all.

Looking at the faces of the group of people below, they all revealed expressions of enlightenment and joy. Not only was Old Ma not happy in the slightest, he was even deeply worried.

After finishing his day of journey, Mu Cheng felt a little tired, even though it looked really good on the surface.

However, every step Mu Cheng took was like a broken pair of shoes, and it was already late into the night. Mu Cheng laid on his bed, unable to fall asleep.

Because right now, Mu Cheng wasn't the only one with a bunch of people following him. What followed was responsibility.

Outside the window, it was completely silent. The only sound that could be heard was Mu Cheng's breathing. There was a rhythm to his breathing, but it was also a bit heavy.

Zi Ling opened her beautiful eyes because she had a feeling that something dangerous was approaching but she was not sure. She looked at Mu Cheng's face and asked worriedly.

"Mu Cheng, I don't know why, but I feel uneasy recently. It's as if someone is watching us."

Mu Cheng's closed eyes opened and he turned on the table lamp. The room instantly lit up and he looked at Zi Ling with his hazy eyes.

"Zi Ling, it's alright, everything will slowly get back on track."

"Also, I have a headache too. With so many people here, I wonder if there are any good ways to earn money?"

Zi Ling guessed, but she still said: "Mu Cheng, I think that second brother Chen Tianming from your Hongxing is a little strange. Your plane is a little strange, if you have strength, then everything will go smoothly, so let's just talk about strength, killing people and taking their goods, I really don't know what's going on in your head right now."

Mu Cheng thought in his heart as he was awakened by the latter half of Zi Ling's words.

"If you have the strength, then everything can be settled. Then the so-called police don't need it anymore."

Thinking of this, Mu Cheng's mood improved a bit. At the very least, he had made a breakthrough in the general direction, so he wasn't at a loss anymore.
