Xiong Ba quickly recovered from the weak and feeble state of his body, and the toxins that had flowed into his system were mitigated. Struggling to rise from the bed, he laughed and said,

I originally thought you looked down on our little Black Wind Village.
But since you are now interested, with your stronger fists, you be the Great Master. I have not a single complaint. Don't worry, hahaha."
Jiang Dali smiled blandly and said, "I know you mean it."
If there had been any insincerity, if Xiong Ba had shown the slightest hostility, he would have received a warning immediately, seeing a red aura around the other man.
"Good, now you're the Great Master. I'll gather the fellows in a moment to announce this news. Anyway, your reputation in the Mountain Village is solid enough; everybody listens to you."
Xiong Ba was indeed quite magnanimous and capable of taking things in stride, but then he puzzled, "However, I'm really curious. Now that you've come back, you must have killed Qiu Xue Mei. With the merits you've achieved, you should be clear that you could move up to higher places.

Don't you know, Second Master wanted to kill you just to take your merits and move up himself?"
