A black screen lit up.
【The town was still bustling with people coming and going from the outside world.】
【Chen Ping An had been staying at home taking care of Ning Yao ever since he injured Fu Nan Hua. After hearing that the snake gallbladder stones by the river were valuable, he went to the river every day to collect them.】
【There, he met a young girl. She loved to eat and was eating many delicacies when she saw Chen Ping An.】
【The girl had a delicate face, and especially her neck downwards, the scenery was truly spectacular. It was even more impressive than many mothers who had given birth.】
【Her clothes were stretched tight across her chest.】
【Chen Ping An dared not look at her for too long and simply collected the snake gallbladder stones. In order to nourish Ning Yao, he also caught a few fish. Seeing that the girl seemed interested in them, he gave her a few.】
【Every day, Chen Ping An spent his time making medicine, delivering letters, and collecting snake gallbladder stones. His life was peaceful.】
【Gu Can had left, and Chen Ping An's only friend was Liu Xian Yang. However, Liu Xian Yang had recently encountered several strange people.】
【A mother and son, surnamed Lu, wanted to buy his ancestral treasure armor. However, the armor was already in a tattered state and looked like trash.】
【But Liu Xian Yang refused to sell it. After all, it was passed down from his ancestors. Even if his family was poor, he didn't want to sell it. He would keep it as a memento.】
【Another person was a Mountain-Moving Ape with a little girl, who wanted to buy the sword manual from Liu Xian Yang's house. However, Liu Xian Yang did not want to sell that either.】
【Both parties were frustrated but still persistent. They continued to harass Liu Xian Yang.】
【Chen Ping An urged Liu Xian Yang to be careful and begged Ning Yao to protect him.】
【Ning Yao agreed, but Liu Xian Yang didn't care and continued with his daily routine.】
【One day, a person of noble status arrived in the town.】
【He was clad in a white robe with a jade belt around his waist. He was exceptionally handsome.】
【The handsome man came to Song Ji Xin's house and looked around. He furrowed his brow slightly, “That fellow with the surname Song, did he only arrange such a shabby place for you?”】
【Song Ji Xin pursed his lips and didn't speak.】
【The maid, Zhi Gui, had already wisely retreated to her side room.】
【According to the most widespread rumor in the town, the former official in charge of ceramics, Mr. Song, was incompetent and failed to produce imperial tribute porcelain that satisfied the court. Based on his minimal contribution, he left behind a covered bridge and returned to the capital to take up a post.】
【Of course, he also left behind Song Ji Xin, his illegitimate son. He only bought him a personal maid to take care of his daily life and entrusted him to his friend, who was the new official in charge of ceramics, said to have the same surname Song.】
【But what the true situation was, the participants were confused, while the bystanders might not be so clear.】
【Song Ji Xin himself wasn't sure what kind of relationship this man before him had with that man with the surname Song: were they close colleagues? Former classmates? Or rivals from different factions in the capital’s government?】
【Before leaving, that man with the surname Song had casually mentioned that the new official in charge of ceramics would soon arrive in the town and take them, master and servant, to the capital. He requested that Song Ji Xin show utmost respect to that man and not be the slightest bit disrespectful.】
【Out of resentment, perhaps, Song Ji Xin didn't have the slightest fondness for this imposing man from the capital.】
【His confident demeanor in front of the maid, Zhi Gui, and his composure about leaving his hometown were simply a young man’s self-esteem at play.】
【The man chuckled, “Never mind. That sour scholar with the surname Song has always been timid and cautious. He doesn’t behave like a man, more like a woman. Otherwise, why would they send him here to look after you?”】
【Song Ji Xin's eyebrows were gloomy.】
【The man casually glanced at the boy’s large storage chest, curled his lips in disdain, and slowly said, “Before coming here, I have already met Fu Nan Hua of Old Dragon City. What a miserable wretch. He almost had his Dao heart shattered here.”】
【“Continue with your business with him as usual. You are responsible for your own gains and losses. I won't interfere with such trivial matters. But before we leave, you must go with me to the covered bridge and kowtow a few times.”】
【“After that, you’re done. Come home with me, do what you should do, sit where you should sit, and fulfill your duties. It's as simple as that. Do you understand?”】
【“I understand, of course. Mr. Song's words are not obscure.”】
【The boy sneered, “But why?”】
【The man laughed, turned around, and for the first time looked directly at the boy. He asked back, “That effeminate fellow with the surname Song said you are exceptionally talented. That evaluation is really not afraid of tripping over his tongue. Why don’t you guess why I’m here?”】
【If you looked closely, you would find that there was a slight resemblance in their features and expressions.】
【Song Ji Xin’s anger grew, but he still held it in.】
【The man no longer played coy and said playfully, “Why? Of course, it’s because this king is a ‘heavenly number one’ miserable wretch, who happened to be your, young man, biological uncle.”】
【Song Ji Xin was shocked to the core, his face turned pale.】
【The man in white ignored this and held his jade belt with both hands. Looking out at the sky, he smiled faintly, “And also because this king is the number one martial artist of the Great Li Dynasty.”】
【Actually, there was another way to say that, which would be even more intimidating. But the man preferred to be the head of a chicken rather than the tail of a phoenix. He felt that being behind others, even just by one or two people, wasn't worth bragging about.】
【Thinking about the Confucian sage who resided here, the man’s lips curled up in contempt. He snorted coldly.】
【He yearned for the day…】
【If I weren't in this world, I could defeat you, Qi Jing Chun, and all the three-way deities with one hand.】
...
The barrage exploded after hearing this statement.
“Hahaha, Song with one hand!”
“He's worthy of being the One-Handed Hammer Saint, Song Chang Jing!”
“Everyone knows martial arts can be divided into eleven realms, but few know that there is a realm above the martial god, Song Chang Jing!”
“One-handed fourteen realms, two hands are twenty-eight realms. He is truly the number one in the world!”
“Twenty-eight realms Song Chang Jing: Little Qi, you are only fourteen realms now. Your vision is narrow. You see me like a frog in a well looking at the moon in the sky. When you reach fifteen realms, you will see me like a gnat seeing the heavens!”
