That afternoon, Ye Chen arrived at the grand hall of Cangxing Martial Arts Academy.
Inside the hall, Yu Hui, Ouyang Xiaoling, and Qu Xiao were already there.
"Brother Ye!"
Fatty greeted him miserably.
Ye Chen glanced at Fatty and noticed he had lost weight, with many bruises on his face, clearly having been beaten frequently lately.
As for the bruises on his face, they were just superficial wounds. Fatty had plenty of pills to heal at any time, but Ye Chen could guess why Fatty hadn't healed himself, likely to feign misery and avoid further beatings.
Responding to Fatty, Ye Chen greeted Ouyang Xiaoling and Qu Xiao one by one.
Before long, another man walked into the hall.
This man was slim, with a somewhat sallow complexion and an expression that held a deep-seated bitterness. He carried a red-tasseled spear on his back.
Ouyang Xiaoling and Qu Xiao immediately greeted him.
"Senior Brother Sun."
