Starting with fishing, I've traversed a chaotic world of demons and martial arts.

The county magistrate's home.

study.

The sunlight outside was blocked by the curtains in the study.

This is Shen Wenzhou's forbidden area.

No one else can enter except him!

County Magistrate Shen Wenzhou was sitting at his desk.

There were no official documents on the table.

There was only one old newspaper that had been repeatedly unfolded and carefully folded.

The edges of the newspaper were already yellowed.

The words above were lightly circled with a pencil...

Shen Wenzhou wasn't circling a news article, but rather a line of small print tucked between the pages.

Shen Wenzhou raised his hand and gently put the newspaper into a hidden compartment under his desk.

Beneath the hidden compartment was an inconspicuous ledger.

Shen Wenzhou opened the account book...

The accounts in the ledger were messy and seemed to have no order whatsoever!

But if you look closely, you'll find...

Every donation and every expenditure is traceable!

However, the flow is extremely secretive, and outsiders cannot tell at all.

Shen Wenzhou closed the ledger and let out a long sigh:

"Sigh... How many years has the Great Sheng Republic been established?"

It seems that chaos is about to break out!

Shen Wenzhou walked to the window and lifted a corner of the curtain.

The curtains were drawn back, and a ray of sunlight streamed into the dimly lit room.

Shen Wenzhou looked at the sunlight on the ground:

"The sunlight is nice, but it's blocked by a thick curtain!"

No matter how warm it is, it can't penetrate the curtains!

Ultimately, it can't reach every ordinary person's home...

Shen Wenzhou closed the curtains and sat down again.

He pinched the bridge of his nose, feeling somewhat tired.

He felt as if there was an invisible net.

It held everyone tightly in its grasp!

Warlords, the Dragon King Society, secret service...

There was also the Black Yama who appeared above the Qinghe Wharf.

This small county of Anlan is also caught in an invisible web.

But an unexpected person appeared in this network!

The image of Li Tianxing appeared in Shen Wenzhou's mind.

Young, calm, and decisive.

They don't fight, but uphold morality!

the most important is……

He doesn't belong to any power or influence!

"A person like that..."

Shen Wenzhou muttered to himself, his gaze gradually sharpening.

"If we can win him over."

Perhaps... he is that spark.

He sat down at his desk and picked up his pen.

He wrote a few words, but did not sign his name.

After he finished writing, he looked at the contents of the paper.

After pondering for a long time...

He then burned the letter, leaving only ashes.

It was as if this feeling had never existed.

……

at the same time.

The Chen family.

Su Pei stood on the second-floor corridor.

The cold wind lifted her skirt and scattered the snow under the eaves.

She looked down at the message that had just been delivered to her.

She read it word by word, her expression growing colder with each word.

"This kid went to Jinhai City to save Chen Tong."

He and Chen Tong have a very deep relationship!

Chen Tong would rather have his martial arts skills crippled than marry me back then...

Haha, this kid is just like Chen Tong, they both have a lot of backbone.

Fine, I like tough guys!

Su Pei chuckled softly, but her smile was devoid of any warmth.

It was like snow in the wind, icy and bone-chilling.

She folded the intelligence report and handed it to the butler behind her.

This butler was also brought by Su Pei from the Su family...

He was considered one of her confidants.

The so-called Chen family is nothing more than Su Pei's one-man show!

Su Pei's smile was icy:

"I originally wanted to give Li Tianxing a way out."

Unfortunately... he didn't appreciate it.

I'm going to save the person I hate the most!

The butler whispered:

"Madam, he is currently enjoying great popularity and his strength is considerable!"

If we act rashly against him, it might attract attention!

Su Pei shook her head and gazed into the distance:

"I don't need to do anything, I just want him to know."

Jinhai is not a place that just anyone can go to!

Even if I go...

Not everyone can gain a foothold in Jinhai!

Su Pei raised her hand and lightly tapped her finger in the air:

"He who refused my invitation will pay the price!"

The butler felt a chill run down his spine:

"Madam, what do you wish to do?"

Su Pei's lips curled up slightly:

"Hmph, doesn't our Su family have its own influence in Tianjin?"

Li Tianxing wants to ask for medicine, right?

When he gets to Jinhai, I'm going to give him a good beating!

Li Tianxing encountered setbacks everywhere in Tianjin.

Only then will he know...

Who is the one who can help him?

I'll treat him like a dog then.

Kneel at my feet and beg me!

Hahaha!"

The snow fell silently on the corridor.

Su Pei stood in the corridor, gazing into the distance.

And the direction she was gazing in...

It is Jin Hai!

……

The next morning, before it was fully light.

Li Tianxing led Xiao Yuan and Zhang Li out of the house.

They were preparing to leave Anlan County by waterway from Qinghe Wharf!

At this time, the Qinghe Wharf was brightly lit.

Oil lamps hung from the bow of the boat.

The riverbank of Qinghe Wharf was brightly lit.

Li Tianxing arrived at the dock and paused slightly.

The dock was already packed with people.

There are fellow students from Hongyun Martial Arts School.

There was also Liu Hui from the police department.

And his brother, Zhang Wei.

Hongfei, dressed in the martial arts uniform of Hongyun Martial Arts School, fixed his gaze on Li Tianxing.

Behind Hongfei were Hongmeng and Daguang, as well as his fellow disciples from the martial arts school.

Chen Tong was sitting in a wheelchair, being pushed by people from Hongyun Martial Arts School.

They stood ramrod straight, their eyes all fixed on Li Tianxing.

Hongfei spoke up:

"Say goodbye to your senior brother Tianxing!"

The disciples of Hongyun Martial Arts School clasped their fists in unison and shouted:

"Respectfully seeing off... Senior Brother Tianxing!"

Their voices were loud and clear, echoing along the banks of the Qinghe Wharf!

Liu Hui, meanwhile, was smoking with his belly protruding, with patrol officers from the police station standing behind him.

He smiled and nodded at Li Tianxing.

From the very beginning when they recruited people to capture the cat demon, Liu Hui and Li Tianxing had already formed a good friendship.

Liu Hui is about to be promoted to Commissioner of Police, and the fact that he personally led a team to see him off shows that he has given Li Tianxing a lot of face!

Zhang Wei stood in the crowd, his eyes red, but he stubbornly refused to lower his head.

Behind Zhang Wei stood the fishermen from the fishing team!

Li Tianxing's pace gradually slowed down.

Looking at the people who came to see him off, he felt a warmth in his heart.

Suddenly, a person stepped out from the crowd.

It was Song Mao, who had taken off his police uniform!

Song Mao changed into presentable clothes, followed by two Song family guards.

He approached Li Tianxing, bowed, and clasped his hands in greeting:

"Brother Tianxing..."

The Song family has already done as you said!

Upon hearing this, everyone around was stunned for a moment.

They all looked at the newly appointed young master of the Song family.

The news of Song Mao's return to the Song family had already spread throughout Anlan County last night.

But none of them expected that the person behind this was actually Li Tianxing!

Song Mao looked up and gazed at Li Tianxing with gratitude.

His voice was not loud, but every word was clear:

"Not only was I included in the family genealogy, but they also gave me a share of the fish business!"

From now on, with me, Song Mao, here in Anlan County, I will absolutely ensure that no one around you suffers a loss!

And Zhang Wei...

I plan to run a fish market with him then!

After saying this, Song Mao took out a folded silver note from his sleeve and presented it with both hands:

"Please accept these, Brother Tianxing!"

Although you are no longer in Anlan County.

But I'll be here for you!

Li Tianxing glanced at him, but didn't take the silver note; he simply patted him on the shoulder.

"Song Mao, I'm not doing this for money."

It's not that I want to be your friend.

"Develop your career well within the Song family, and don't embarrass yourself!"

Upon hearing this, Song Mao's eyes welled up with tears.

He grinned, a smile that was somewhat sinister:

"Don't worry, Brother Tianxing!"

I won't let you down!

Zhang Wei stepped forward and gave Li Tianxing a hug:

"Tianxing, I wish you all the best on your journey."

And... take good care of my sister!

Li Tianxing laughed:

"Don't worry, I left some money under my bed. Go get it yourself!"

Remember to tidy up the house for me!

Maybe in a while...

I came back to live here.

A disciple of Hongyun Martial Arts School pushed Chen Tong in a wheelchair to Li Tianxing.

Chen Tong sat in a wheelchair, looking somewhat haggard.

He took out a contract from his pocket and said:

"Tianxing, this is the land deed for my Boguzhai."

I have changed the name on the land deed to yours.

Whether you want it or not, you will be the owner of Boguzhai from now on.

I'm old, and now I'm injured.

It's time to enjoy my retirement...

Li Tianxing leaned down slightly and grasped Chen Tong's hand:

"Uncle Chen, don't worry."

I will definitely find the medicine and cure you!

……

Li Tianxing bid farewell to everyone one by one.

They then boarded a passenger ship bound for Tsukai City.

Mist billowed across the river.

The waterway stretches forward like an endless line.

Li Tianxing turned and boarded the boat. Before stepping onto the deck, he looked back.

The passenger ship departed from the shore and moved forward slowly.

The sound of the Qinghe River rang out again.

At this moment, Li Tianxing turned around and faced Qinghe.

He came to the bow of the boat, the wind blew up the corner of his clothes, and the river mist spread around him!

Anlan County slowly retreated behind...

Ahead lies a new destination.

The place Li Tianxing is going to.

His name is Jin Hai!
