Becoming a saint begins with the infinite accumulation of destiny.

As Chen Shisheng walked to the alley entrance and passed a street corner, he paused.

A gang member was spotted standing nearby; judging from his clothing, he was likely a member of the Blackwater Gang.

Most members of the Blackwater Gang wear black clothes, and they have a white water pattern embroidered on their left chest, which is a unique symbol of the gang.

Seeing that someone had noticed him, the gang member darted into a nearby alley and disappeared.

Chen Shisheng watched for a while before turning around and walking towards home.

As soon as he left, the skinny gangster poked his head out again, his small eyes fixed on a figure inside the Chen family's earthen house.

It seemed he wanted to firmly remember his sister-in-law Liu Yun's image in his heart.

"What are you looking at?"

A slightly cold voice suddenly rang out from behind the skinny gang member.

"Who?!"

The skinny gang member was shocked and quickly turned around to look.

He saw a well-proportioned man dressed in a simple gray outfit, his indifferent eyes coldly staring at him.

This person was none other than Chen Shisheng, who had returned after leaving.

"I...I...Scarface has changed territories. My name is Zhang Er, and I'm in charge of this area now. He mentioned before that he would look after this place. So..."

The lanky gang member, Zhang Er, tried to appear calm, nervously swallowing hard.

"Oh? Is that so?"

Chen Shisheng looked puzzled.

"Yes, that's right. Scarface has been transferred to Chaoyang Riverbank. If you need anything in the future, just let me know."

Zhang Er hurriedly replied.

"Okay, then thank you for your hard work."

Chen Shisheng nodded and turned to leave.

"It's alright, it's alright."

Zhang Er wiped the sweat from his forehead and only breathed a sigh of relief after seeing Chen Shisheng's figure disappear around the corner.

The Blackwater Gang has always been very concerned about the situation at the Wen Family Compound, so they are very clear about some of the information inside.

You'll naturally hear about the three possible solutions.

Judging from Chen Shisheng's current progress, he will most likely be sent to the front lines to serve as a suicide mission.

The gang needs to find a way to make up for the money that was sent back before.

"Let's wait a little longer."

Zhang Er was about to peek out to check the situation again.

Unexpectedly, as soon as he poked his head out, he turned the corner and saw a large face with a gloomy expression.

It was none other than Chen Shisheng, who had returned once again!

Snapped!

Zhang Er was terrified. He was so startled that he almost jumped up and turned to run away.

But in an instant, a large hand, like Mount Tai pressing down, suddenly grabbed him from behind and locked his neck tightly.

Zhang Er was already thin and small, and when he was suddenly grabbed, he couldn't react at all. He felt a pain in his neck, lost consciousness, and everything went dark before his eyes. He passed out.

When he woke up again, he found that his hands and feet were bound by hemp ropes and he could not move. His mouth was also stuffed with strips of cloth that he had picked up from somewhere.

"Waaaaah... Waaaaah..."

Zhang Er shouted anxiously, and then Chen Shisheng's unfriendly gaze lingered on his face.

"What are you waiting for?"

Chen Shisheng's face was gloomy. He lifted the man up and, with a slight force, gripped his throat.

After this period of standing meditation training, his physical condition is already different from before.

"I...no, it's not me...it's the gang..."

Zhang Er's voice choked with sobs as he pleaded for mercy, his whole body trembling uncontrollably.

He was genuinely afraid; this man's strength was far beyond what ordinary gang members could handle.

Tell me about it.

Chen Shisheng's voice was low and his face was cold.

A moment later, Chen Shisheng's face turned ugly, his eyes hardened, and he looked at Zhang Er. The veins on his arm bulged, and he suddenly unleashed a burst of power.

A cracking sound came from his palm, and Zhang Er's body thrashed wildly like an eel, but to no avail.

Finally, his head lolled to the side, and he stopped breathing completely.

Chen Shisheng then took the body to the riverbank, threw it into the river, and then turned and walked away quickly.

In this world, corpses are everywhere, and rivers are notorious dumping grounds for bodies; nobody cares.

"The Blackwater Gang has their eyes on me again."

When Chen Shisheng returned home, his heart sank. He had thought the Blackwater Gang matter was over.

But now it seems that the Blackwater Gang has not given up at all, especially since they have set their sights on Sister-in-law Liu Yun.

He wanted to take advantage of his absence while he was supervising the war effort to sell her into a pleasure boat. His intentions were truly malicious. What good could a woman do after going to such a place?

"Shisheng, dinner's ready. Today we have your favorite stir-fried pork with green peppers."

Liu Yun, the sister-in-law, who was wearing an apron made of tattered cloth by the stove, was completely unaware of what was happening outside and shouted loudly.

At the dinner table, Liu Yun poured most of the shredded green peppers and pork into Chen Shisheng's rice bowl and added some pickled vegetables for him.

Having made the rice bowl, Liu Yun pushed the bowl in front of him with a smile and said:

"Eat."

Chen Shisheng did not refuse, and as he practiced standing meditation, his body was increasingly exhausted.

Three regular meals a day are no longer enough to satisfy them.

In the Wen family compound, he supplemented his income through transactions with Master Bao.

As for his home, he asked Liu Yun to cook enough food for five people, as that was the only way to satisfy them.

"Shisheng, be careful when you go out lately, and don't go swimming in the river."

Liu Yun added some more rice to his bowl and gave him some earnest instructions.

"What's wrong?"

Chen Shisheng didn't even look up, continuing to eat frantically.

He knew that his sister-in-law, Liu Yun, couldn't stay idle and had recently been taking on laundry jobs.

"Aunt Liu next door drowned. Someone emptied her chamber pot this morning and found her body. It's still outside. They say it's the work of a water ghost, coming to claim someone's life... Many people have seen it."

Liu Yun lowered her voice, looking mysterious.

"Is that so?"

Chen Shisheng looked up, a thought flashing through his mind.

He recalled his time as an apprentice in a clothing shop, where many women often talked about water ghosts.

The world is in such chaos, and legends of gods and ghosts have sprung up. According to the saying that chaos breeds monsters.

It's hard to tell if it's some kind of cult or individual taking advantage of the situation to create momentum, rob, or kill.

Thinking of this, Chen Shisheng warned his sister-in-law not to go and wash clothes.

Anyway, his monthly allowance is enough for the two of them to live on. It's not exactly good, but it's safe and stable.

"Okay, I'll go talk to Sister-in-law Wang in a bit."

Liu Yun nodded; she knew her brother-in-law's abilities.

Now that there's no man in the house, Chen Shisheng is the pillar of the family, and she has to listen to him; that's the rule.

The two talked for a while longer. Chen Shisheng finished a whole bowl of rice in a few bites, and Liu Yun cleared away the dishes.

Chen Shisheng took advantage of the time to practice the Hunyuan stance inside the room for a while, continuing to work on the fourth key.

Time flies, and a week has passed in the blink of an eye.

Chen Shisheng remained vigilant about the Blackwater Gang's movements. Perhaps knowing they had been discovered, the Blackwater Gang simply stopped pretending.

He sent a few of his gang members to patrol the area day and night, but they didn't take any action; they just watched from a distance.

This left Chen Shisheng, who had hoped to use the Wen family's influence to teach the Blackwater Gang a lesson, somewhat disappointed.

However, he was not completely at ease. He knew that the Blackwater Gang was waiting, like a venomous snake hiding in a dark corner, waiting for its chance to strike.

Once he's transferred to the supervisory team, that will be the moment this venomous snake strikes.

Chen Shisheng felt a sense of urgency, but there was nothing he could do.

The Hunyuan stance is difficult to practice, and he didn't have extra money to supplement his diet like Zhou Qing.

As for the chart and destiny indicators, there was nothing to be gained.

Corpses are not uncommon in Wuhe City; you can glimpse exposed, bluish hands and feet in the sewers, on street corners, and in alleyways at any time.

But those who have a destiny are not the only ones who do not; they are all people with no destiny at all.

Chen Shisheng was prepared for this, but he couldn't help feeling disappointed.

However, things soon took another turn for the better.
