Chapter 0567: The Young CEO

```

Watching the people from both villages finally able to sit together and chat, Luo Yang felt very relieved.

Ever since their feud began hundreds of years ago, the two villages had always been at odds, never interacting.

Although neighboring each other, they seemed like people from two different worlds.

This time wasn't an official negotiation, but a preliminary discussion about the shareholding ratio.

Luo Yang would hold forty percent of the company's shares, and the two villages would each hold thirty percent.

Besides that, Luo Yang had one more request.

"I'll handle the Hongyun Town market myself. The company can expand the business in other areas," Luo Yang said.

Xie Runfa and Cheng Nan had no objections, and everyone else agreed.

The initial discussion was very satisfactory to everyone, and all that was left was to draft and sign the contract.

Then they talked about holding ancestral rituals to inform the ancestors that the feud between the two villages was being resolved, and Luo Yang felt that it would be fine to let the elders handle it.

Xie Runfa and Cheng Nan both said, "Niu Zai, you must attend when it's time."

Luo Yang said, "Fine, just let me know the date. I'll be there on time."

He found an excuse, bid everyone farewell, and headed toward Lang Yifeng's house.

Lang Yifeng had arranged for the Left and Right Protectors to live in the old house, rent-free.

Seeing Luo Yang arrive, a group of village toughs came over to greet him.

Since Lang Yifeng's gambling den had ceased operations, the idle hands in the village had even less to do.

Luo Yang had intended to teach them how to cultivate medicinal herbs, but because he'd been too busy recently, he hadn't managed to do so.

The two villages were planning to start a breeding company soon, and they would need workers. It would be sufficient for Lang Yifeng to work there.

With both villages working on breeding, there wouldn't be just one fish pond, but many, and each would be very large.

This would require a lot of manpower, so the village loafers would have jobs to do.

"Brother Yang, have a smoke."

All the village toughs offered Luo Yang cigarettes.

"Okay, okay," Luo Yang accepted them one by one, holding them in his hand, now almost a pack's worth.

One of the toughs even lit a cigarette for Luo Yang.

The Left and Right Protectors didn't smoke.

"Let me introduce you. These two are the protectors of our Jingwu Gate Martial Arts School. This is the Left Protector..."

As for his name, Luo Yang hadn't learned it yet.

The robed Left Protector introduced himself, "My name is Du Detian."

The village toughs nodded.

"And this is our Right Protector..." Luo Yang gestured to the older man in the green robe.

"My name is Huang Zhang," said the elder, stroking his beard.

Luo Yang had taken in the Left and Right Protectors not only to have them teach his students in his stead, but also for a much bigger purpose.

Three mysterious visitors had arrived in the village: Zhang Jing, Grandma Liu, and Little Huizi.

By himself, Luo Yang feared he might not be able to stand against all three of them.

Therefore, he needed help.

Having the Left and Right Protectors move into the village meant that if he ever had to confront the three mysterious visitors, he could call on them for assistance.

Having one more ally was always better than one less.

The skill and strength of the Left and Right Protectors were not particularly impressive, but they still had room for improvement.

Luo Yang would guide them, making them stronger.

Once they had enough power, Luo Yang could then openly challenge the three mysterious visitors.

Now was not the time; he had to wait.

However, there was one thing Luo Yang was eager to do right away: testing the combat abilities of Grandma Liu and Little Huizi.

It was inappropriate for Luo Yang to do this directly, so having the Left and Right Protectors handle it would be ideal.

"Starting today, the Left and Right Protectors will teach you martial arts," Luo Yang said. "Left Protector, Right Protector, do you agree?"

"We will follow the young master's commands," the Left and Right Protectors chorused.

During his time in the county city, Luo Yang had said he would teach the Left and Right Protectors the Eagle Claw Wild Goose Technique.

The Left Protector's Eagle Claw Technique was already quite good. If combined with True Qi, its power would greatly increase.

However, all of a sudden, the Left Protector was unable to cultivate True Qi.

```

The Right Protector's Goose step Foot Technique was also formidable, but it just lacked the proper refinement.

Since Foot Technique didn't require True Qi, Luo Yang decided to first pass on this skill to them, so they could be fully convinced by him.

"Left Protector, Right Protector, I am going to teach you the Goose Walking Skill now. Listen carefully." Luo Yang said seriously.

"Please do tell, Brother, we are all ears," both the Left and Right Protectors nodded in agreement.

It was at this moment that Luo Yang realized that the Left and Right Protectors often spoke and acted in the same manner, probably because they had spent so much time together that they had become synchronized.

Luo Yang's Shadowless Kick had Nine Layers, each layer consisted of nine kicks.

He had only practiced up to the First Layer.

The Right Protector's leg technique could perform a series of five consecutive kicks in the air, which was still four kicks less than Luo Yang's First Layer of Shadowless Kick.

Luo Yang was unclear about the Left Protector's leg technique.

"Left Protector, how many consecutive kicks can you perform in the air?" Luo Yang asked.

"Replying to Brother, I can only manage four consecutive kicks in the air," the Left Protector honestly replied.

From this, it was evident that the Left Protector's Eagle Claw Technique was better, while the Right Protector's Goose Walking Skill was stronger.

"First practice doing six consecutive kicks. I'll tell you the secret," Luo Yang said.

He then shared the insights of the First Layer of Shadowless Kick.

The other village ruffians listened as well, but their foundation in martial arts wasn't solid enough to understand.

The Left and Right Protectors only listened once, then clapped their hands and said, "Brother really is formidable, we admire you immensely."

Luo Yang said indifferently, "I'll demonstrate it once for you."

Everyone saw Luo Yang suddenly leap into the air, his figure rolling through the sky as he executed six kicks in rapid succession before gently landing, the epitome of grace.

In fact, he was capable of delivering nine consecutive kicks, but he chose not to show off.

Even if the Right Protector's foundation in Goose Walking Skill was solid, he still couldn't learn the nine consecutive kicks.

The crowd of village ruffians applauded and cheered.

"Right Protector, you practice it once for me to see," Luo Yang instructed.

"As you command," the Right Protector replied.

With a foundation in the Goose Walking Skill and already capable of five consecutive kicks, with Luo Yang's insights into the Shadowless Kick, the Right Protector could just about manage the sixth kick, though not as smoothly as Luo Yang.

"Not bad. Practice a few more times and you'll get there. Left Protector, work hard and you'll soon be able to do six consecutive kicks as well. As for the Eagle Claw Technique, I'll look into it further and see how I can help you improve."

Hearing Luo Yang's words, the Left and Right Protectors were quite excited.

"We hope for more guidance from Brother," both Left and Right Protectors said, bowing with their fists.

"Of course," Luo Yang replied.

Looking around the circle, he continued.

"From now on, you will learn martial arts from the Left and Right Protectors. Study diligently, and once you have reached a certain level of martial skills, I will give you further guidance," Luo Yang added.

"Thank you, Brother Yang," the village ruffians shouted joyfully.

Then, Luo Yang shifted the topic.

"It won't be long before our village and Xingang Brigade set up a breeding company together; you will all have jobs. Just do your work well when the time comes," Luo Yang stated.

Hearing that there would be legitimate work, and that they could stay in the village, the village ruffians were even more thrilled.

"Thank you, Brother Yang."

"Brother Yang is awesome!"

"From now on, we're following Brother Yang!"

"Agreed!"

...

...

Luo Yang gestured for Lang Yifeng to come over.

"Brother Yang, what's up?" Lang Yifeng asked.

"This shed of yours, with some modifications, would be quite suitable for practicing martial arts," Luo Yang remarked.

The shed was fairly spacious and was previously used for gambling.

After Luo Yang advised Lang Yifeng to shut down the gambling operation, Lang Yifeng heeded the advice, and the shed had largely gone unused.

"Master is right. How should we remodel it?" Lang Yifeng asked for instructions.

"Raise the ceiling a bit, and expand it. There might be people from other villages who will want to come here to learn martial arts in the future," Luo Yang suggested.

Yu Wang, a martial arts enthusiast from Xingang Brigade, had even called Luo Yang during the day, wanting to become his disciple.

Luo Yang agreed, and when Yu Wang mentioned others from his village also wished to become Luo Yang's disciples, Luo Yang also gave his approval.
