His identity was known to very few, but Li Fuxiu was aware that Old Peng, despite being over sixty years old, was a genuine martial arts master. If it weren't for the tricky situation, he wouldn't have sought help from Peng Shishan.
Of course, there was a condition for getting Peng Shishan's assistance: he wanted half of the Yin Spirit Essence. Li Fuxiu had no idea what Yin Spirit Essence was, but since Old Peng wanted half, he didn't think much of it and agreed. After all, Li Fuxiu, as the director, had to give face to Old Peng.
As for the other two middle-aged men, they were martial arts experts collaborating with the Southeast Province Police Department. Although their strength couldn't match Peng Shishan's, they were still quite formidable.
With three martial arts masters invited today, Li Fuxiu felt confident. At the dining table, after inquiring about the situation, Peng Shishan listened as Li Fuxiu recounted the events from last night. After hearing the details, Peng Shishan's expression remained calm; he showed neither shock nor concern.
"It seems the strength of those two isn't trivial," Peng Shishan remarked lightly.
"Old Peng, I think those two are probably Masters of Transformation," said the round-faced middle-aged martial artist sitting next to him, who had a black mole on his cheek. This man was merely an Inner Energy expert and naturally held great respect for Masters of Transformation.
"Masters of Transformation come in various strengths. If it comes down to a fight, even if they are Masters of Transformation, I won't be at a disadvantage against them. Moreover, I believe they will give me face; this Yin Spirit Essence is something our Peng Family desires, and I doubt anyone would dare to touch it," Peng Shishan's tone was filled with confidence and decisiveness.
"That's for sure, Old Peng. In Huaxia Martial Arts, I doubt anyone would dare to offend your Peng Family," Li Fuxiu flattered him.
Jiang Shi listened on the side and couldn't understand everything but knew that the Peng Family was a powerful presence in martial arts. Seeing how respectful Li Fuxiu was towards Old Peng made him even more deferential, raising his glass from time to time to toast.
While drinking, Peng Shishan discussed matters related to martial arts. Thanks to this incident, Jiang Shi was able to hear some stories from the Martial Arts World.
"Old Peng, what if those two are from the Hidden Sect?"
"Yes, that's exactly what I'm worried about," suddenly interjected the two Inner Strength Experts with some concern. They felt that Peng Shishan was overly confident; while the Peng Family had a deep background, there were still some forces in Huaxia Martial Arts that even they could not provoke.
"Hidden Sect?" Jiang Shi's expression changed slightly upon hearing this unfamiliar term; curiosity piqued, he perked up his ears to listen. He sensed that this meal would open a door to a new world for him; Huaxia truly was mysterious.
Li Fuxiu also frowned slightly; he knew about the Hidden Sect but had never encountered them. The Hidden Sect was an existence even higher than the Peng Family. If they were indeed involved, it would be troublesome. However, since the Hidden Sect typically kept to themselves and avoided contact with the outside world, those two individuals likely weren't from there—Li Fuxiu reassured himself in this manner.
Despite his self-reassurance, Li Fuxiu still looked towards Peng Shishan.
Peng Shishan smiled faintly, his expression still unconcerned.
"Do you know what I intend to do with half of the Yin Spirit Essence?" Peng Shishan asked.
The crowd shook their heads, expressing their confusion.
With a faint smile, Peng Shishan continued, "Our Peng Family Ancestor is acquainted with a remarkable individual. If the Yin Spirit Essence truly exists, presenting it to that esteemed person would surely be appreciated."
