"People from the Dog Hall?"

Qin Chuan looked at the other party cautiously, recalling the situation introduced to him by Elder Gu.

The two strongest people in Dog Hall: one is the Hall Master Xiang Dongsheng, the other is Yang Monian!

Among them, Yang Monian has been deeply immersed in the realm of mastery for many years.

He practices a short stick technique known as Yin Hand Stick.

As the saying goes, 'powerful fists fear the young, sticks fear the old wolf.'

Yang Monian with dual batons in hand, his stick technique is close to demonic.

Qin Chuan has no choice but to be wary.

"Young friend, no need to be nervous. The old man has come this time without malice, otherwise..."

Yang Monian chuckled, "Otherwise, you and your little girlfriend would already be two cripples."

As he smiled, the wrinkles on his face instantly stacked together, making his shoehorn-like face even more terrifying.

While circulating the Nine Dragon Creation Skill, Qin Chuan said, "What other tricks do you have in Dog Hall?"

"Young friend, there's no need for that."

Yang Monian leaned on his cane and walked slowly: "Young friend, at such a young age, has already mastered Baji Fist to the point of proficiency, one can say limitless future."

Ignoring his praise, Qin Chuan said indifferently: "Speak your mind or hold your peace."

"I'm curious, young friend, if you have any interest in joining our Dog Hall?" Yang Monian smiled, his murky eyes gleaming as if trying to see through Qin Chuan.

"You want to recruit me?"

Qin Chuan was slightly taken aback. With Dog Hall, it's a situation of irreconcilable hostility.

He disdained to associate with those people from Dog Hall.

But surprisingly, after defeating three of Dog Hall's experts, they not only didn't try to retaliate but wanted to recruit him?

There's definitely something unusual.

Qin Chuan thought silently.

"Correct."

Yang Monian nodded and continued: "The Hall Master treasures talent, is reluctant to see your potential wasted, sincerely invites you to join the great undertaking; as long as you join Dog Hall, you will become the Vice Hall Master."

"Money, power, women, whatever you need, our Dog Hall can provide."

"Most importantly, from now on, no one will trouble your family."

Qin Chuan, hearing this, scrutinized Yang Monian skeptically.

"There's no such thing as a free lunch. Dog Hall offering such high conditions, isn't merely to recruit me."

Qin Chuan isn't a fool.

Besides, the conditions Yang Monian presented mean little to him.

In terms of money-making ability, the Yang Gathering Pill he holds is like a money printer, earning no less than Dog Hall, and in a legitimate manner.

As for the so-called power.

Qin Chuan dismisses it further.

Dog Hall is just one branch under the Red Dragon Association, there are twelve such branches.

And Dog Hall ranks last among these twelve branches.

Not to mention a Vice Hall Master position, even if Xiang Dongsheng offers his Hall Master position, Qin Chuan wouldn't care.

He's asking merely to probe what Dog Hall wants from him.

"Naturally."

Yang Monian spoke leisurely: "First condition, you need to return the Yin Yang Beads to us; second condition, we need you to represent us in the Huawu Alliance's duel tournament."

"Oh?"

Qin Chuan was slightly surprised.

Isn't it said that only members of the Huawu Alliance can participate in the duel tournament?

Dog Hall is also a member of the Huawu Alliance?

Qin Chuan shook his head silently; Dog Hall obviously isn't.

If Huawu Alliance is compared to Martial Arts Alliance Leader, Dog Hall can at most be considered bandits.

Clearly, they are not the same group.

However, since Yang Monian offered such conditions, it evidently wasn't without reason.

"Huawu Alliance?" Qin Chuan pretended to be ignorant.

"Huawu Alliance is a martial arts organization in Jiangcheng, composed of major martial arts halls of Jiangcheng. Didn't Gu Zhongqiao mention it to you?" Yang Monian asked in surprise.

Qin Chuan shook his head, continued probing: "If it's a martial arts organization, how does Dog Hall participate?"

"That's the matter of Dog Hall. Once you join, the old man will naturally explain it to you."

Yang Monian didn't dwell on this issue, changed the topic saying: "With your talent, young friend, plus the assistance of Dog Hall, you will surely shine in the duel tournament; by then, you will have a place in Jiangcheng's martial arts realm."

Simply put, the duel tournament is an excellent opportunity for young martial artists to make a name.

In addition to the rewards from Huawu Alliance, becoming a permanent member brings countless benefits.

Clearly, Dog Hall is eyeing that permanent member position.

Only, for now, Qin Chuan can't fathom why a gang organization cares about Huawu Alliance's permanent member position.

"Give me some time to think about it."

Qin Chuan said, he definitely won't agree, saying this only to stall.

This information needs to be shared with Elder Gu.

Perhaps with Elder Gu's experience, he can discern Dog Hall's scheme.

"I'll come again tomorrow, hope by then to hear good news from you, young friend."

Yang Monian turned and left decisively.

After he left, Ye Wenxi, who had been hiding nearby, immediately ran out.

Seeing Qin Chuan unharmed, finally put her worried heart at ease.

Back home, Qin Chuan immediately shared the information with Elder Gu.

As Huawu Alliance's current member, Elder Gu is well-versed in the duel tournament's rules.

He speculated Dog Hall has already cooperated with a martial arts hall in Huawu Alliance.

Even possibly Dog Hall has already controlled a martial arts hall.

As for why Dog Hall wants to become Huawu Alliance's member, Elder Gu couldn't discern immediately.

Logically, Dog Hall deals in gray industries.

Even becoming Huawu Alliance's member doesn't greatly benefit their business.

Members of Huawu Alliance can't lower their status to associate with Dog Hall and do shady businesses.

But this only makes it more peculiar.

"Elder Gu, is Dog Hall trying to launder its image?" Qin Chuan speculated.

Elder Gu shook his head: "No necessary reason. Behind Dog Hall is Red Dragon Association, how would they... hmm?"

Here Elder Gu's speech suddenly paused.

Indeed!

Behind Dog Hall is the behemoth Red Dragon Association.

Would Red Dragon Association agree to Dog Hall doing this?

Seems highly unlikely.

As mentioned before, Huawu Alliance is like Martial Arts Alliance Leader, Dog Hall like bandits.

And Red Dragon Association is the bandit leader.

Both forces are water and fire.

If Dog Hall becomes Huawu Alliance's member, it's akin to defecting from Red Dragon Association.

Red Dragon Association would definitely not tolerate this.

"Perhaps Dog Hall wants to take this opportunity to escape Red Dragon Association's control."

Elder Gu's tone gradually turned serious: "But if Dog Hall succeeds, conflict between Red Dragon Association and Huawu Alliance is inevitable!"

"Do you mean Dog Hall intentionally wants to provoke conflict between the two forces?" Qin Chuan asked in surprise.

Yet what benefit is there for Dog Hall?

Qin Chuan couldn't understand; Elder Gu couldn't gauge Xiang Dongsheng's intention immediately either.

Their available information is limited.

Just then, in Qin Chuan's mind appeared the gentle figure and a sweet little girl.

If Dog Hall's plan succeeds, it should affect Meng Wantang.

After all, Meng Wantang is the Hall Master of Tiger Hall.

But this is an internal matter of Red Dragon Association, not much related to him.

Qin Chuan became conflicted.

The next morning, Qin Chuan came to school as usual.

Just as he approached the school gate, he heard a sweet voice saying excitedly: "That's my daddy..."
