Just Say My Name, Legend of the Fishing Guild Courtyard

"Greetings, senior!"

Jiang Yi cupped his fists towards the man in grey.

There was no other way; circumstances were beyond his control.

A true man knows when to yield and when to stand firm, let alone someone like him, a mere "ox or horse."

"Haha!"

"Senior is too kind. My name is Liu Sheng, and I am the fourth steward of the town's Fishing Guild. If you don't mind, you can call me Uncle Liu."

Jiang Yi: "..."

This guy is a bit too familiar, isn't he?

Seeing Jiang Yi's silence, Liu Sheng showed no displeasure.

It seemed he knew he had been a bit too forward.

He spoke again, taking the initiative.

"Young man, you killed those two from the Evil Wolf Gang today. You'll need to be careful from now on. The Evil Wolf Gang are a bunch of mad dogs! Once they go berserk, they'll bite anyone they see! Hmm... If you encounter any difficulties later, feel free to come to the Fishing Guild Courtyard. Just mention my name. Our Fishing Guild isn't afraid of them!"

After speaking!

The middle-aged man in grey didn't linger. He leaped down from the eaves, his movements light and agile, like a feather drifting down, landing without a sound.

In a short while.

His figure vanished into the vast darkness of the night!

Is he trying to recruit me? Jiang Yi's gaze lowered slightly. The grey-clothed man's words felt like he was trying to hide something. His intentions were obvious!

The Fishing Guild?!!

It must be another power in the town! And they're at odds with the Evil Wolf Gang!

Jiang Yi turned and walked out of the alley, concealing his figure in the darkness and leaving quickly.

Perhaps joining a faction!

For him, it might be a pretty good choice...

Beneath a secluded wall!

Jiang Dafeng was pacing back and forth!

His face was etched with anxiety, and he kept muttering things like "Why isn't he back yet?"

"Brother Dafeng, I'm back!"

Hearing Jiang Yi's voice, the heavy stone in Jiang Dafeng's heart finally fell.

"How is it, Xiao Yi, are you alright?"

"I'm fine, no problems. They were just two little weaklings!"

Jiang Yi handed over the money bag.

"Look, not only did I get it back, but there's even more money inside..."

"Brother Yi, you're amazing!"

"Teach me martial arts, Brother Yi. Once I'm skilled, I'll be able to fight ten of them!"

The other two youths looked at him with utter admiration! They couldn't wait to become his disciples!

"You still need to be careful!"

"After all, that's the Evil Wolf Gang, a wicked force, not to be trifled with!"

Jiang Dafeng frowned, thinking hard for a moment!

As if struck by an idea, his spirits suddenly lifted, and he quickly reached out:

"Let's go, let's go, I'll take you to find someone!"

"If that person is willing to help, our future will be secured..."

"Knock, knock, knock!"

As the knocking sounded, an aged voice came from inside the small courtyard.

"Who is it?"

"Uncle Fu, it's me, it's Jiang Dafeng, do you remember?

Last winter!

When my father and I came to town to buy New Year's goods, I specifically came to see you."

"What! It's you, Jiang Dafeng? Wait a moment, I'll be right there!"

There was a rustling sound from inside, followed by a series of hurried footsteps.

"Creak!"

With a squeaky sound of the door opening!

A hunched-over old man with white hair revealed himself to the four people.

At this moment, he held up half a dim, yellow candle, his cloudy eyes widening in an effort to see clearly!

As if trying to get a good look!

"It really is you, child!"

"You're still alive, quick, quick, come in, come in!"

The old man quickly ushered the four into the courtyard.

"Yesterday, there were rumors in town that your Jiangjia Village was massacred by bandits from Black Wind Stronghold.

It was said that the entire village turned to ashes.

I was so worried, I thought no one escaped.

To think that you are still alive, what a relief, what a relief, thank heaven!"

"By the way, Feng boy, where is your father?"

"My father... he sacrificed himself while desperately fighting the bandits..."

"Your father, alas..."

The old man muttered, sighing from time to time!

"Feng boy, what are your plans now?"

Jiang Dafeng listened and poured out his thoughts one by one.

"We plan to stay in town for a while..."

"How about this!"

"Tomorrow morning, I'll take a look for you. Our Fishing Guild is short-handed lately.

Let me see if I can get you to help out there!"

"Thank you for your trouble, Uncle Fu!"

"It's no trouble, just small matters! How about this, you can stay here tonight.

Looking at you all, you must be starving!

Oh, right, I still have a few steamed buns in my kitchen, I'll go get them for you..."

Fishing Guild?!!

Jiang Yi listened quietly from the side!

When he heard those two words, a strange look flashed in his eyes.

The Fishing Guild!

An established power in Wushui Town!

Just from the name, one could tell what kind of business this power was primarily involved in.

On the eastern side of town, along the Wushui River, was the area controlled by this power.

The founder of the Fishing Guild--

Zhou Qiuyi!

The townspeople preferred to call him--

The Fishing Master!

He was a legendary figure in Wushui Town.

Before his rise, he was an ordinary fisherman of humble status!

During an accidental haul of river fish, he obtained a world-shattering martial arts secret.

He then remained hidden for over a decade!

Emerging in his prime, he fulfilled the saying—

He who does not sing, sings to astonish!

From then on, he soared to the heavens!

Later, in the small town of Wushui, he established his own power, named—

The Fishing Guild!

To this day, the Fishing Master is still alive.

Although he has reached the venerable age of eighty and hasn't made a move in years, he is still a "Fierce Tiger" level existence!

His residual power remains!

His strength is absolutely not to be underestimated!

What's more!

Having operated for so many years, the Fishing Guild has no shortage of other powerful martial artists guarding it.

Unless they encounter a life-or-death crisis!

Otherwise!

Why would the dignified Fishing Master himself need to make a move!

Early in the morning, not long after dawn, Uncle Fu woke Jiang Yi and the other three.

They first went to a tailor shop!

Shedding their previous rags, they changed into coarse linen clothes.

The fabric was somewhat rough, but at least it covered their entire bodies.

No longer would a gust of wind leave them feeling chilled and strange.

Afterward, Uncle Fu led them all to—

The Fishing Guild Courtyard!

What? The Fishing Guild Courtyard?!!

Jiang Yi: "..."

Through Jiang Dafeng and Uncle Fu's conversation!

He learned that the elder before him was an ordinary old servant of the Fishing Guild Courtyard.

Unfortunately, he lacked the talent for martial arts.

However, he had joined when the faction was first established, making him an old-timer of the Fishing Guild.

Calling it the Fishing Guild Courtyard!

It was more like a magnificent manor covering at least ten acres!

At the very front!

Was a large training ground.

In his past life!

It would have been comparable to a formal sports field at a renowned university!

Aside from the martial arts arena in the center, various training weapons and equipment were displayed around the perimeter.

At this moment!

Many Fishing Guild disciples were already present!

Some merely cast curious glances at Jiang Yi and his group before looking away.

Some didn't even bother to look!

Focusing on their martial arts practice and tempering their bodies!

The atmosphere of martial arts cultivation was incredibly intense, causing Jiang Fu and Jiang Sanxi's eyes to light up.

They occasionally imitated the movements of others!

And let out silent "huff and puff" sounds!

Finally, they stopped in front of the gate of a rustic courtyard.

"I'll go in and discuss things with them first. Later, I'll assign some tasks to you few!"
