"Is that skin still around?"
Chen Mo asked casually, a little curious about the cultivation of that man from beyond the pass.
If he had been an ordinary martial artist, that was one thing. There was nothing surprising about Gu Ruzhang slapping him to death.
But Aunt Hong had also said that the man had knocked down several guards with just a few punches and kicks.
Those guards were no freeloaders.
For the Green Gang to hold its ground in Jinmen, the enforcers it kept had to have at least some training.
Ordinary people could not even get close to them.
"It was burned."
Aunt Hong answered, "Zhou Three Blades burned it himself. Not even ashes were left."
"That man from beyond the pass-do you know what school he belonged to? What kind of martial arts he practiced?"
Unwilling to give up, Chen Mo pressed her again.
She recalled the details carefully, then shook her head. "I asked Zhou Three Blades. He said the man had no magical artifacts on him, and no talisman markings either."
"His palms were heavily callused and his knuckles were thick. He looked like someone who practiced External Boxing."
"That's all?"
"Yes."
Aunt Hong thought for a moment, then added, "When he knocked those guards down, he used genuine punches and kicks. There was nothing sinister about his methods that anyone could see."
Chen Mo frowned slightly.

Only after asking several more questions did he stand and push the round stool back in front of the dressing table.
"Keep watching. If anything happens on Gu Ruzhang's end, send word to me immediately."
Aunt Hong hurriedly
