Chapter 1: The Water Village Tycoon (Part 1)

  When Dà Biāo shouted to kill him, the atmosphere on the dock changed completely. Zhōu Tōng's uncle hugged Zhōu Xīn and stood up, his face pale: "They're just kids, do you have to kill them? Fourth Master Tián..."

  Tian Jiaolao supported Tian Dabing with one hand and gritted his teeth: "Kill? I will destroy your whole family!"

  That middle-aged man didn't make a move, joking around, do you think killing someone is that easy? He said: "Tian Laosan, take Dabiao to the side, I'll handle this." He was a cultivator, not an ordinary person, his vision far surpassed Tian Laosan's, in this world, it was very dangerous, one careless move could cost your life, he couldn't see through Lei Xingfeng, so he didn't dare act rashly.

  Tian Jiaolao was stunned for a moment, he didn't expect Tian Dabiao's master to say such things. However, he absolutely dared not offend this middle-aged man. Upon hearing the words, his face turned bright red as he supported Tian Dabiao and retreated to one side. Tian Dabiao unwillingly said: "Master!"

  The middle-aged man said: "Shut up!"

  Tian Dabiao was thoroughly stunned, he couldn't understand why Master would scold him, but he didn't dare to continue speaking either. He hadn't even reached the level of a hundred wheels yet, and after two years of cultivating wheel power, he had at most sixty or so wheels, only slightly stronger than an ordinary person. If a barbarian were to come, they could probably beat him to the point of defeat.

  The fishermen here and the hunters from Huyanbao, where Lei Xingfeng used to live, are too far apart. If a hunter comes over, these fishermen are no match for them at all. Of course, if they go into the water, it's hard to say who will win or lose.

  A middle-aged man came to Lei Xingfeng's side and said, "Zhong Geng, Wan Lun Shi." Having no other way, he could only try to probe according to the usual practice of registering when meeting with Lun Shi. Who made him unable to figure out Lei Xingfeng's bottom line, didn't know his bottom line, and didn't dare take further action.

  Lei Xingfeng sighed silently, but he also knew that if he couldn't intimidate the opponent, he would be in danger himself. However, Zhou Tong and Zhou Xin would be in even greater danger afterwards. He couldn't let his lifesaver fall into danger.

  "Lei Xing Feng, Mi Lun Shi!"

  Zhong Geng was so frightened that his legs went soft, almost falling to the ground. He was the most powerful wheel master in this area, but his opponent was just a young boy who turned out to be a secret wheel master. In an instant, countless thoughts flashed through his mind. With his experience and at the age of 16 or 17, anyone who could become a secret wheel master must have possessed extraordinary talent, as well as a deep background, and possibly had an extremely powerful master. Any one of these was not someone he could afford to offend.

  Couldn't help but wipe away sweat, Zhong Geng couldn't stop congratulating himself on his maturity and composure, not daring to be reckless.

  As for Tian Dabiao, he was already frightened to the point of paralysis on the ground. The fourth elder of the Tian family tried to hold him up but couldn't. In his heart, he understood that his master was a Wanlun Master, but that young man was even more formidable than his master, actually being a Milun Master. It was too frightening, and he wondered if he would be allowed to live. He had been cultivating for almost four years now, yet he hadn't even reached the level of Baiyun Master. No wonder his master didn't think highly of him.

  Zhong Geng said: "Uh, you......" He really wanted to ask what a secret wheel master was doing in this small place. But he immediately felt it wasn't suitable and said: "You... I... uh, let me introduce you. This is my eldest disciple, Wu Zhen, a hundred-wheel master who's about to be promoted to thousand-wheel master. This is my second disciple, Han Xiu Bao, who will soon be promoted to hundred-wheel master. Hmm, that one... that one is my nominal disciple, Tian Da Bing, a local."

  Since we can't afford to offend him, let's try to get closer to him. Zhong Geng was also very experienced and sternly said to Tian Dabiao: "Dabiao, go apologize!"

  Tian Dabiao saw the stern gaze of his master and knew that he couldn't avenge himself this time. He didn't know that his master was actually saving him, but he felt extremely angry and couldn't help revealing it. Zhong Geng saw through him clearly and had already classified him as an inferior disciple in his heart. At most, he would only be a nominal disciple and could never be taken as a true apprentice again. This person's heart was too narrow and wouldn't achieve anything, but would instead cause trouble. Such a disciple wasn't worth keeping.

  Zhong Geng said calmly: "If you don't want to apologize... then I won't have you as a registered disciple."

  Tian Dabiao doesn't understand human feelings, but his old man does. After hearing Zhong Geng's words, he broke out in a cold sweat. This is going to abandon the Tian family, kidding me! Without Zhong Geng's support, the Tian family will be finished soon. They had offended too many people before, if it weren't for Zhong Geng's backing, I reckon the Tian family would have been done for long ago.

  Bang!

  Tian Dabiao looked at his old father in disbelief, never thinking that his father would hit him.

  Tian Jiaolao's eyes widened in anger as he gritted his teeth and said, "Still not apologizing?!" In a low voice, he muttered, "Hurry up, you're a dead man... You're so stupid!

  After a burst of turmoil, Lei Xingfeng had dissipated his anger and upon some reflection, he couldn't help but feel a chill. When he was consumed by rage, the first thought that emerged in his mind was to kill; there were no other thoughts, nor any desire to understand the situation or resolve the issue. The only thought was to kill. Fortunately, he still had a shred of rationality - a remnant idea from his past life deeply embedded in his mind - which led him to choose to vent his anger on Tian Dabiao's mouth instead.

  Tian Dabiao was about to cry, not only did his master force him to apologize, but even his own father started pressuring him. He looked down at his face and said to Lei Xingfeng: "Sorry!"

  As one of the protagonists, Zhou Xin hid behind Zhou Tong's back. A series of changes had left him stunned and bewildered, unable to understand the situation. The only thing he knew was that Lei Xingfeng had stood up for him and beaten his opponent severely. With a keen eye, he immediately idolized Lei Xingfeng, feeling extremely good about having someone to protect him, which made him very happy.

  Lei Xingfeng said calmly: "It's not apologizing to me, but apologizing to my little brother!" He stretched out his hand from behind Zhou Tong and pulled out Zhou Xin.

  Tian Dabiao's hands were shaking with anger, but he didn't dare disobey his master and father, so he had to apologize again in a resigned manner. Zhou Xin was still a child, and after hearing the apology, he didn't pursue the matter further. In fact, he was also very scared, as he had never thought that he would be beaten without reason, and couldn't understand why he was being hit.

  Lei Xingfeng understood the process and knew that Tian Dabiao beat Zhou Xin just to show his concern for a woman named Han Liubao, or to show off his ability to despise everything in the local area. Zhou Xin accidentally stepped on Han Liubao's foot, which became a good excuse, a very childish behavior. This time, not only did he lose face, but also lost everything inside.

  Lei Xingfeng didn't want to continue entangling either, it's over after the fight, can't be that he would really kill someone for this small matter. He nodded and said: "Since that's the case, then forget it, let's go, we're going back."

  How could Zhong Geng bear to let Lei Xingfeng leave, a mysterious wheel master appeared on his own turf, the mysterious wheel master was nothing more than that, he had seen him before, but a mysterious wheel master, a 16 or 17-year-old mysterious wheel master, the power behind him, he didn't dare think about it too much, what if this little guy got into trouble here, as soon as he thought of this, cold sweat soaked through his back, he knew why Lei Xingfeng would appear here, but also knew that Lei Xingfeng absolutely couldn't get into trouble on his own turf.

  "Thunder... thunder..."

  Zhong Gengyi was at a loss for what to call Lei Xingfeng. If he called him by name, it would be too impolite, but if he called him "senior", Lei Xingfeng was still just a young man, and that would put him on the spot.

  Lei Xingfeng is usually a very good-natured person, he said: "Call me Ah Feng." As for Zhong Geng, he still has some admiration in his heart, and his thoughts are cautious. People like this generally live more comfortably and longer lives.

  Zhong Geng certainly wouldn't really call him that, he said: "I'll still call you Lei younger brother, haha, Lei younger brother, since we've met, I believe you're also new to this place, haha, can I invite you as a guest?"

  Lei Xingfeng said: "Let's forget about it for today, I'll come visit you tomorrow."

  Zhong Geng smiled and nodded, "Alright then, see you tomorrow." He didn't insist anymore, as long as the other party agreed, he was very satisfied. He believed that with his own abilities, he should be able to establish a relationship with the other party. Having one more friend was always better than having one more enemy, this had always been his principle in dealing with things. This place was a lawless land, where no power dared to enter, and he was able to stand firm locally, relying not on force, but on his social skills.

  Lei Xingfeng pulled Zhou Xin along with Zhou Tong back onto the boat.

  Back on the boat, Zhou Xin finally became lively again. The earlier incident had scared him terribly. He asked, "Lei Gege, why did he hit me?" This question had been lingering in his mind, and he didn't dare ask Tian Dabiao, but back on the boat, he couldn't help but ask Lei Xingfeng.

  Lei Xingfeng patted Zhou Xin's head and said, "Little Xin, forget it, don't think about it anymore."

  Zhou Xin was young and soon gave up, saying: "Okay."

  Zhang Lao Da has gone back, Zhou Da Shu started to tidy up the leftover food on the boat head, Lei Xing Feng sat down again. After Zhou Da Shu finished tidying up, he also sat down and said: "A Feng, thank you." He now knew that he had saved an extraordinary young man, and his expression became slightly awkward. Unlike Zhou Xin, who was just a child and didn't know the complexity of this world, he was an adult and naturally understood the status of the wheel master. He also realized why Lei Xing Feng casually took out the golden ring.

  Lei Xingfeng smiled and said, "Uncle Zhou, no need to be polite with me. Since you've saved me, hehe, we're family now. What's there to thank? No matter what, I won't let anyone bully Little Xin."

  Zhou Tong as an ordinary person has a natural fear of the wheel master, and is instead less so than Zhou Xin.

  Lei Xingfeng had no choice, since his identity as a wheel master was exposed, he let go of it. He didn't plan to hide his identity as a wheel master from the start, but he wouldn't show off either.

  A night without words.

  The next morning, Zhong Geng had already sent his apprentice over.

  ………

  It's still three more days, asking for votes.
