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

Li Tianxing dragged his weary body down Lingshan Mountain.

He glanced at his bare right arm, the sleeve of which had been shattered by the shock.

"Teacher Hei Yan went too far."

This is a brand new outfit I just bought a few days ago!

Li Tianxing was speechless.

However, based on the exchange just now...

He also realized the gap between himself and the top experts.

He believed that the power Hei Yan had just used was definitely less than one-tenth of his own strength.

"Let's go back to the old house, take a shower, and then change our clothes."

Li Tianxing returned to his home in the Rolling Dragon Cave.

He rinsed himself with cold water and then changed into his old fishing clothes.

He was still wearing coarse linen clothes and straw sandals.

"Go to the street to buy some food, and then go to Boguzhai to see Uncle Chen."

It's been so long since I've seen him. I hope he doesn't think I've forgotten him.

He was my mentor, and I will always remember that kindness.

Li Tianxing no longer has to worry about food and clothing.

Just the case of uncovering the Purdue cult.

Li Tianxing then received thirty-five silver dollars from Liu Hui.

At first, Liu Hui gave Li Tianxing fifteen yuan.

After the case was closed, Liu Hui gave Li Tianxing another twenty yuan.

It was originally agreed that the fee would be fifteen yuan after the case was closed.

However, when Liu Hui learned of Li Tianxing's contribution to uncovering the Pudu sect, he gave Li Tianxing an extra five silver dollars.

Li Tianxing went to the street and bought some food and fruit.

I was casually flipping through a book I bought yesterday.

This book is titled "Strange Tales," and its cover is somewhat worn.

It looks quite old; it must be a book from a previous dynasty.

It records many bizarre and fantastical monsters and strange events...

It broadened Li Tianxing's horizons considerably.

"I'm almost finished with this book, so I can try buying some new books to read."

Try to read more books...

Improve your reading progress.

Upgrade to Lesser Mastery as soon as possible!

After Li Tianxing came into this world.

After reading the three books related to martial arts that Uncle Chen gave him at the beginning.

This "Strange Tales" is the fourth book he has finished reading.

However, as I am about to finish reading this book...

Li Tianxing is not far from achieving some success in his studies...

……

Li Tianxing carried his things and arrived at the entrance of Boguzhai.

But he discovered that a large number of people had gathered at the entrance of Boguzhai today.

These people were all dressed in matching black short-sleeved shirts, and they all looked like they had some martial arts skills.

Moreover, they were very orderly, with more than a dozen people standing neatly at the entrance of Boguzhai.

This conveniently surrounded Boguzhai.

"These people look well-trained and don't seem like bandits or thugs."

Could it be that someone from the Chen family has come to visit Uncle Chen?

Li Tianxing, carrying his things, was about to walk into Boguzhai.

"Halt! No unauthorized personnel are allowed in now."

The leader stopped Li Tianxing directly.

Li Tianxing said calmly:

The shopkeeper of this store...

Manager Chen is a friend of mine; I've come to see him today.

The man frowned and continued:

"Excuse me, my young master said that no unauthorized personnel are allowed to enter at this time."

Li Tianxing did not take direct action.

Because he knew that Manager Chen was a member of the Chen family in Anlan County.

What if his relatives came today?

Moreover, these people don't seem like people to be trifled with. Who is this young master they're talking about?

Li Tianxing stood at the door and shouted:

"Uncle Chen, it's me! I've come to see you."

At that moment, Chen Tong, who was inside the room, heard Li Tianxing's voice.

He walked to the door and said:

"Tianxing, come in, don't stop him."

These burly men in black short-sleeved shirts did not react at all; they simply looked into the house.

At this moment, a young man walked out of the Boguzhai.

The young man was wearing a sharp suit and his leather boots were spotless.

With his hands in his pockets, he inadvertently revealed the gold watch on his wrist.

The man waved his hand casually.

The burly men standing at the entrance of Boguzhai all dispersed, making way for Li Tianxing.

Li Tianxing carried the things he bought for Chen Tong and walked into Boguzhai.

"Uncle Chen, who is this?"

Li Tianxing's gaze fell on the young man.

Uncle Chen spoke up:

"This is Su Yang, the young master of the Su family, and also the nephew of Madam Chen of the Chen family."

Li Tianxing narrowed his eyes slightly...

The Chen family, Mrs. Chen.

This should be Su Pei, the actual controller of the Chen family.

Without Su Pei's support, the Chen family would not be able to compare with the Song family in Anlan County.

In other words, the person who truly holds the reins of the Chen family is not Chen Jinguang, but Su Pei.

Li Tianxing had heard that Su Pei's background was very complicated, and that his ancestors were high-ranking officials in the previous dynasty.

Furthermore, the Su family has a complex network of relationships in Luanyang Province and wields considerable influence.

No wonder this young master of the Su family has such an air about him...

Su Yang ignored Li Tianxing and continued to look at Chen Tong:

"Uncle Chen, look at the conditions I just mentioned."

Would you like to reconsider?

Chen Tong shook his head:

"Young Master Su, this old man only has this one hobby now."

"I really can't sell you this Boguzhai."

Su Yang sat in the chair and casually said:

Are you sure, Uncle Chen?

The price I offered you wasn't low either.

Chen Tong sighed:

"Sigh, it's not about the money."

"Collecting antiques is my only hobby now, and it's also a kind of solace for me."

Su Yang's expression darkened:

"Uncle Chen, you are all alone and helpless. You can't pass this shop down even if you keep it."

Selling it to me now is a good outcome for you.

You know, I, Su Yang, am also quite fond of antiques.

So, while I'm in a good mood, please don't push me.

Whatever I, Su Yang, want, I will get it by any means necessary!

Li Tianxing never expected Su Yang to be so arrogant.

Judging from his tone, this shop is going to be sold to him today no matter what!

Li Tianxing turned to look at Uncle Chen, wanting to hear what Uncle Chen had to say.

Uncle Chen smiled wryly:

"Hehe...Young Master Su."

You won't be staying in our small Anlan County for long.

Why did you do this?

Su Yang casually crossed his legs:

"For no reason other than three words, I, Su Yang, am only after..."

I'd love to!

Chen Tong took a drag of his pipe and said defiantly:

"I'm sorry, Mr. Su, I can't sell it."

Even if you break my old bones today.

"I have no way of selling Boguzhai to you."

"Uncle Chen is indeed tough."

If you hadn't been so tough back then.

I doubt your kung fu skills will be crippled, right?

Su Yang stood up, hands in his pockets:

"I, Su Yang, respect you, Chen Tong, as a true man."

Since you've already said that...

"Then... I'll get started."

Su Yang took off his gold watch.

It was carelessly tossed onto the chair.

Then, he unbuttoned the collar of his suit jacket.

He stretched his neck and strode towards Chen Tong!

Li Tianxing did not want to cause any more trouble.

However, in this situation...

He couldn't possibly just stand by and watch Uncle Chen get beaten to death by Su Yang, could he?

"Wait a minute, why don't I play with Young Master Su Yang for a bit!"

Li Tianxing stood in front of Uncle Chen and said calmly.

Su Yang seemed to have become interested.

He looked Li Tianxing up and down:

"Judging from your clothes, you don't seem like someone who has the means to practice martial arts."

Li Tianxing took a deep breath and slowly said:

"Although my martial arts skills are average."

But to ensure Young Master Su's enjoyment, I'm willing to risk my life to accompany you!

"Oh, you mean..."

"Can I beat you to death?"

Su Yang looked at Li Tianxing with a smile on his face.

Li Tianxing nodded emphatically.

Only then did he reveal his plan:

"That's right, Young Master Su!"

But if you can't kill me...

Can the acquisition of Boguzhai be discussed?

"Postpone it?!"
