Bringing advanced martial arts techniques to a low-level martial arts world

"Lin Wangbei, Lin Ju'an".

"Be mindful of potential dangers even in times of peace, and look north from a south-facing position."

The Lin family's grandfather was clearly ambitious, giving his sons these two names, and his two sons lived up to his expectations.

The eldest son is a renowned figure in the martial arts world, revered by thousands.

The second son became the Grand Secretary, wielding immense power.

However, because of a prophecy, Lin Ju'an's entire family was wiped out, and Lin Wangbei became increasingly extreme and took a risky path.

Lin Wangbei had gone astray, but now Sheng Wansong has slapped him back to the right path.

The matter of Lin Ju'an's family being wiped out has remained unresolved for a long time.

The crux of the problem lies in the inability to find Gongsun Wang.

The legend of Jade-Faced Bodhi is widely circulated in the martial arts world, and rumors about him are often heard, but no one has ever been able to track his whereabouts.

The world is so vast; if you just follow behind someone your whole life, you'll never find them.

Although Sheng Wansong possessed extraordinary martial prowess, he was ultimately not an omniscient and omnipotent true god, and without clues, he could not be found.

Even those esoteric fortune tellers couldn't have predicted the location of the Ghost Valley disciple, the number one fortune teller.

The only clue is the 100-day celebration.

Sheng Wansong remembers everything that happened on the day of the 100-day celebration.

He remembered that when his adoptive father reprimanded Gongsun Wang, the Jade-Faced Bodhi, he had mentioned a girl named "Xi'er".

These two should be old acquaintances, and they have a grudge because of a girl named "Xi'er".

Sheng Wansong stayed at the Lin family mansion in the capital for a hundred days, and apart from his father on the day of the hundred-day celebration, he never heard the name "Xi'er" from anyone's mouth.

Since Lin Wangbei is Lin Ju'an's older brother, perhaps he knows something.

Mingyuan.

Sheng Wansong gripped the jade pendant tightly and walked into the main hall.

When no one is around, Lin Wangbei's consciousness still returns to the previous night, and he is unable to completely detach himself from what happened that night.

Was that mysterious person really Mingyuan?

However, he called me by my name the whole time and refused to call me "uncle" even once.

Sheng Wansong walked into the hall and saw Lin Wangbei lost in thought, so he called out to him.

"uncle."

"Eh."

Ok?

Lin Wangbei subconsciously responded, then paused, looking up.

Who are you?

As the dignified lord of the Lin family, there was no need for him to be polite with a junior. He said directly, "You call me 'uncle' the moment we meet. Do you even know me?"

"I am better than Wansong."

"I know you are Sheng Wansong."

Lin Wangbei said in a low voice, "You're the only outsider in Lin Family Fort right now. Who else could it be but you?"

"Let me make this clear first: unless you get into the top three in the Sword Appraisal Tournament, I will absolutely not agree to your relationship with Xian'er!"

Lin Wangbei didn't care about their first meeting.

People in the martial arts world live by the motto "swiftly retribution for kindness and revenge," where kindness and revenge come and go quickly, as do love and hate.

But no father in this world can calmly send his daughter away.

Unless they have already decided on this person, or they don't treat their daughter as a human being and are simply doing it for a profit.

Therefore, Sheng Wansong was able to understand Lin Wangbei's rude words.

Sheng Wansong took out the jade pendant that had passed through his hands several times and said directly, "Lord Lin, I have come to return this precious jade."

Upon seeing the jade pendant, Lin Wangbei's eyes widened in disbelief. He was heartbroken and felt as if he wanted to beat his chest and stamp his feet in despair.

What a spendthrift! What a spendthrift!

The gift I just gave her, I hadn't even had a chance to enjoy it, before I handed it over to her.

If I were gone, the entire Lin family would probably be willing to give her away as a replacement!

Having retrieved the precious jade, the young man before him seemed much more pleasing to Lin Wangbei. "You young man do know how to behave," he remarked.

"You saved Xian'er's life. I have already sent someone to inventory the treasures in my Lin family's vault, and they will be delivered to your room tomorrow."

What Sheng Wansong was after was not just a few coins.

"Lord Lin, I see the words 'Mingyuan' written on the jade pendant. As far as I know, it belongs to the Lin family in the capital."

Lin Wangbei's face immediately turned cold. "Knowing too much won't do you any good."

As expected, this is the result.

How could an outsider possibly pry into someone else's secrets?

If he were to use the identity of Lin Mingyuan, having just shown off and run away last night, and now coming back to ask people questions, it would seem beneath him.

We need to take a longer-term view.

Avenging his cheap parents was far less important than saving face for Sheng Wansong.

Just as I was about to take my leave, Old Master Lin entered the hall.

"Master, someone from the Six Doors has arrived."

Upon hearing the name "Six Doors," Lin Wangbei's expression darkened further. "I've already said it: unless the truth behind the massacre of the Ju An family is thoroughly investigated, I will not see anyone from the Six Doors!"

"Of course I know your rules, sir."

Old Lin smiled wryly and said, "But this time, the Divine Marquis came in person, saying he wanted to discuss with you the matter of the wanted criminals from Evil Valley."

"And he also said..."

The Six Doors is both a government department and one of the six major martial arts sects. Chief Constable Zhu Wu not only commands all the constables in the country, but is also the current emperor's uncle, and is under imperial orders to monitor the martial arts world.

It is said that Zhu Wu's martial arts skills are unparalleled in the world, reaching the level of a grandmaster, and are no less than those of the leaders of Wudang and Shaolin.

Even Lin Wangbei would find it difficult to turn away such a person.

"What else did he say?"

"He said."

Old Lin looked at Sheng Wansong and remained silent for a long time.

Anyway, you can hear it everywhere. Sheng Wansong took the initiative to resign, saying, "I have other important matters to attend to, so I will take my leave first."

Stepping outside, Sheng Wansong overheard Old Lin whispering secrets.

"The Marquis says that if you, sir, are willing to lend a hand, justice will be served for the Lin family within three years."

You can eat whatever you want, but you can't say whatever you want.

It seems that this Zhu Huangshu (Imperial Uncle Zhu) has also harbored rebellious intentions.

The dog emperor is indeed unpopular.

Sheng Wansong returned to his room, called An Lan who was poking a fish's belly with a twig, and the two walked out of the Lin residence.

As I approached the entrance, I brushed past a distinguished-looking middle-aged man.

This man was dressed in a flying fish robe, wearing a black gauze hat, long boots, and an embroidered spring knife at his waist. He had delicate features, a broad back and a powerful build, and an extraordinary air about him.

Although he had never met him, Sheng Wansong knew that this person must be Zhu Wu, the Divine Marquis.

Two other people followed behind Zhu Wu.

The man on the right is around twenty or thirty years old. He is wearing light armor and a bamboo hat, and he is not carrying any weapons. His rough hands hang down naturally.

Presumably, it is the only divine constable left in the Six Doors, Iron Palm.

As for the girl in red on the left, she's an old acquaintance.

When Han Lingsha saw the two of them, she was flustered at first, but then realized that she already had a backer. So she proudly puffed out her almost invisible chest and made a face at the two of them.

The three of them did not stop and strode into the Lin residence.

"I never expected that Miss Han would be recruited by the Six Doors."

Hidden in the fan, Nie Xiaoqian felt a pang of emotion. In this chaotic era, the lines between officials and thieves seemed to have blurred.

"She claimed to be a great thief, and she also had things like the Zhong Kui 'Five Poisons Copper Coin'."

"If I'm not mistaken, Han Lingsha is a tomb raider."

Near Chu Xiang, an ancient tomb is about to be unearthed, where Sheng Wansong had previously encountered a eunuch.

The reason the Six Doors recruited Han Lingsha was undoubtedly because of her tomb-raiding skills.
