Wielding a butcher's knife, a seven-year-old wicked girl supports her family and abuses her wic

"Of course, this is just a rumor and shouldn't be taken seriously."

Seeing Yang Xiaoman's reaction, Han Feng was not surprised at all and calmly said.

Few people know the inside story of Yang the Butcher's death.

In the entire Sima Town, only Qi Sheng, the head of the Qi family, knew about it, but he kept quiet about it and never revealed anything to the outside world.

"It's getting late, please come with me to Sima Town, Mr. Yang."

"Although with your current strength you are not yet able to replace Chen Man in this Sword King competition, it would be good for you to see it beforehand."

"With your talent, you'll definitely be able to participate someday."

After Han Feng finished speaking, he cupped his hands in greeting and walked towards the carriage to the side.

Only then did Yang Xiaoman notice that Chen Man and the Han family head had actually arrived by carriage.

After Han Feng had walked away, Chen Man sighed mournfully and interjected:

"Young Butcher Yang, why would you joke with Patriarch Han like that?"

"The butcher assessment is child's play for you, yet you insist you almost failed. Now look what's happened. I had already persuaded Patriarch Han to believe in your abilities."

"It seems you can only watch me make a move now. Fortunately, Patriarch Han is known for his generosity. Since he said he would reward you, even if you only go there to make a formality, you won't be shortchanged."

Hearing this, Yang Xiaoman helplessly shrugged, "Butcher Chen, I'm telling the truth."

"only……"

He was interrupted by Chen Man halfway through his sentence. He quickly glanced in the direction of the carriage and then urged:

"Miss Yang, where's your butcher's knife? We'd better hurry and get going."

After saying that, Yang Xiaoman had no choice but to give up the idea of ​​explaining.

Whether she actually does something is secondary, as long as there's a reward.

It's also a good opportunity to find out what this so-called battle for the title of Sword King is all about.

Was my father's death really related to becoming the Sword King?

Back in the courtyard, Yang Xiaoman saw her mother put down her work and look over nervously.

"Xiaoman, has the family agreed to let you take over?"

All she knew was that the old butcher from Chenjiazhuang had lost his contest with his daughter and was about to hand over his business.

Whether the host family is willing or not is another matter.

"Mother, of course! Your daughter is now a certified butcher by the Butcher's Office!"

Yang Xiaoman proudly waved the butcher's manual in her hand, but she was somewhat conflicted inside.

She wanted to ask her mother herself if she knew about her father becoming the Sword King before his death.

But she swallowed the words back down her throat.

Whether she knew it or not, she could only learn about her father's mysterious cause of death from the Qi family patriarch.

Rather than letting my mother worry unnecessarily, it's better to keep her in the dark.

"Perhaps that was what Dad planned back then too."

Yang Xiaoman thought to herself, picked up the pig-slaughtering knife leaning against the front of the house, said goodbye to her mother, and left the yard.

……

On the way to Sima Town, Yang Xiaoman got a first taste of the extravagant life of the wealthy in ancient times.

She sat on the soft cushions inside the carriage, completely unaware of the bumps from the wheels outside.

Compared to the experience of riding in an oxcart, it was like night and day.

"Patriarch Han, if I remember correctly, the butcher representing the Wang family in this Sword King competition should be Wang Dahu from Wangjiatuo, right?"

Chen Man suddenly spoke, breaking the silence in the carriage.

Since he's representing the Han family this time, he'll naturally be giving it his all.

Know yourself and know your enemy, and you will never be defeated!

Upon hearing Chen Man speak, Yang Xiaoman's eyes flickered, and she quietly pricked up her ears.

Although she was only going through the motions today, if Chen Man accidentally made a mistake, she, who had received payment from the Han family, would naturally have to step in.

"That's right, it's Butcher Wang from Wangjiatuo."

In contrast to Chen Man's nervousness, Han Feng smiled and nodded, waving his hand dismissively.

"Although Wang Dahu is quite capable, he is still a far cry from you, Butcher Chen."

"After all, you're a seasoned butcher with over a decade of experience; how could Wang Dahu, with only a few years of experience, possibly compare?"

"You are certain to win today's battle!"

It was precisely because he valued Chen Man's strength that he agreed to let Yang Xiaoman do nothing, just go through the motions and still receive a considerable reward.

Of course, the former reputation of Butcher Yang also played a part in this.

"If my opponent is Wang Dahu, then I am indeed not afraid."

Chen Man nodded with a smile, and at the same time breathed a sigh of relief.

His loss to Yang Xiaoman the day before yesterday made him, for the first time, begin to question his own abilities.

However, once he learned that his opponent was Wang Dahu, his nervousness vanished.

He was well aware of Wang Dahu's strength.

If he could lose to his opponent, he wouldn't even need to be a butcher anymore!

"But... I received word that the Wang family recently issued a call for heroes, but I don't know if any skilled butchers are willing to take the job."

Just as Chen Man breathed a sigh of relief, Han Feng's casual remark was no less than a bombshell.

"You've sent out invitations? That's in serious trouble."

Upon hearing these three words, Chen Man frowned slightly.

To his surprise, the patriarch of the Wang family was so generous, willing to spend a fortune to issue invitations to recruit the most skilled butchers in the county.

If he were to succeed, he would be far superior to any of those who could accept the challenge.

"Butcher Chen, don't worry. According to the information I received, the Wang family doesn't seem to be making any moves."

Seeing Chen Man's solemn expression, Han Feng immediately added with a smile.

He was certain that there would be almost no changes in the upcoming Sword King competition.

After all, most of the notorious butchers had already found a master, so the Wang family was destined to leave empty-handed.

The reason for revealing this information was to prevent Chen Man from becoming complacent and to avoid any unnecessary changes at that time.

"That's alright."

Upon hearing Han Feng's words, Chen Man breathed a sigh of relief, then his gaze fell on Yang Xiaoman, who was holding a pig-slaughtering knife beside him.

For some reason, seeing the other person made him feel a sense of relief, and then, almost as if possessed, he said:

"However, with Butcher Yang around."

"Even if a butcher did accept the Wang family's invitation, he would likely return empty-handed!"

As soon as he finished speaking, Han Feng was stunned.

He really couldn't understand what had happened to the Qi family the day before yesterday.

How could the renowned Chen Man hold seven-year-old Yang Xiaoman in such high regard?!
