Becoming a saint begins with the infinite accumulation of destiny.

"Exactly."

Chen Shisheng nodded, without denying it.

These days, everyone who's out there trying to make a living knows how to protect their reputation.

Firstly, it's to avoid family members fighting each other and damaging harmony.

Secondly, it emboldens the enemy. By announcing the name of an important figure right away, the enemy will be intimidated and hesitant to act, thus increasing one's chances of winning.

"That's like the flood washing away the Dragon King's temple; we've recognized each other as family. Brother, please don't be offended. We're from the Heavenly Fiend Gang, and we have an excellent relationship with your Wen family's Lord Zhou Qing."

The tall, thin man immediately put down his broadsword, clasped his hands in apology, and offered his condolences.

"A few days ago, Lord Zhou Qing visited our sect and gave us a lecture on martial arts. May I ask what brings you here so suddenly, brother?"

This person speaks strangely; he starts by trying to establish a connection.

Chen Shisheng's face was ashen as he stepped forward.

"I don't care if you're from the Heavenly Fiend Gang or the Earthly Fiend Gang. This is my home, so get out!"

A flash of ferocity crossed Chen Shisheng's eyes.

His fists shot out like cannonballs, aimed straight at the two men's faces.

The two men were completely unprepared to be ambushed even after revealing their names.

Furthermore, these two were just ordinary gang members, not martial artists, so their reactions were simply too slow to keep up.

puff!

puff!

With two loud thuds of fists shattering bones, the two men were immediately knocked to the ground, coughing up blood.

He died on the spot without even uttering a scream, his breath ceasing.

Chen Shisheng stopped, dragged the two corpses, jumped into the backyard, and casually threw them into the Wuhe River to destroy the evidence. After that, he didn't care anymore.

Sometimes you have to admit the convenience of the Five Rivers River.

It truly provided for countless ordinary people in Wuhe City.

Back home, Chen Shisheng wanted to tidy up the house, but found that it had long been turned into a garbage dump.

The two rooms were originally filled with unwashed dishes, fruit pits, and smelly shirts and socks, and the whole room smelled terrible.

There were still a few white marks on the ground, which were the thick phlegm spat out by the two people who had lived there before, and the corner of the wall was covered with yellow urine stains.

It's clear that these two truly consider this place their home.

Chen Shisheng looked at everything before him, feeling quite annoyed.

The few clothes that were previously left in the wardrobe are also gone; it's unclear whether the two of them pawned them or lost them.

He looked around and figured the place was no longer habitable.

Chen Shisheng simply walked out and found a room at a nearby inn to sleep in.

He plans to buy a house on the outskirts of the inner city once he is confirmed to be transferred back.

He can't get into the inner city, but the housing prices on the outskirts aren't outrageous, and he can afford them.

......

The next morning.

The sky was just beginning to lighten.

A rapid knocking sounded at the door; the person seemed to be in a hurry, banging on the door repeatedly.

Awakened by the noise, Chen Shisheng opened his eyes and sprang up from the bed.

But then there was a cracking sound, and the bed broke under his force, the middle of it caved in.

"Oh no! I forgot we're not at home."

Chen Shisheng was a little confused. At home, the bed was made of hard planks with stones underneath. It wouldn't break no matter how much force you used, but the inn's bed had a wooden frame.

Now that he has broken through the Bone Forging stage, his strength has greatly increased; with just a little effort, he...

"Brother Chen, Brother Chen, are you there?"

People outside were shouting loudly.

It looks somewhat familiar.

That sounds like Xu Song's voice?

Chen Shisheng suddenly remembered that he had promised to deliver a letter to Xu Song, but he forgot about it because of family matters.

"You're back?"

He opened the door, but instead of seeing Xu Song's pockmarked face, he was greeted by a pretty woman.

The woman was exceptionally beautiful, with wide eyebrows and eyes that exuded a heroic air. She wore black leather boots on her long legs, and her upper body featured prominent, sensitive areas that were quite eye-catching.

Chen Shisheng froze, his eyes fixed on the woman.

"May I ask if you are Chen Shisheng?"

The woman smiled broadly, seemingly unconcerned about Chen Shisheng's gaze.

"Indeed, young lady is..."

Chen Shisheng snapped out of his daze and greeted them with a somewhat apologetic clasped hands.

He wasn't stunned by the woman's appearance; in his previous life, with the internet so advanced, he was already immune to such things.

What caught his attention was a purple phantom above the woman's head.

【Treat everyone equally (green): A clear and impartial mind, untainted by bias. Blessed by good fortune】

This woman actually possesses a purple destiny!

It was a type of luck-based element he had never seen before, which made his eyes light up slightly.

"My name is Wen Fengling. You may not know my name, but you probably do know my younger brother's name. His name is Wen Fengqu."

Wen Fengling smiled gently as she carefully examined Chen Shisheng.

"So you're the young lady, my apologies for not recognizing you."

Chen Shisheng clasped his hands slightly in return.

"When did you break through to the Bone Forging stage? Why didn't you just go find Lin Bao?"

Wen Fengling asked with a smile, her attitude gentle.

"Not long ago, Lin Bao...? Why are you looking for him?"

Chen Shisheng answered truthfully, making no attempt to conceal his ignorance.

"How about we find somewhere to talk?"

Wen Fengling smiled but did not answer, his meaning was clear: he wanted to win him over.

Chen Shisheng understood what the woman meant, pondered for a moment, and then agreed.

Now that he has broken through the Bone Forging stage, his status and position will change, and he will likely attract many people to his side. It would be better to listen to this woman's offer first and make a comparison.

"OK!"

The two went downstairs.

Xu Song, who had been following him, tried several times to go up and talk to him, but never had the chance.

His eyes were filled with envy until Chen Shisheng boarded the carriage and disappeared around the street corner. Only then did he let out a long sigh, feeling as if a huge rock was pressing down on his heart.

He was originally in Pingyang Town, but last night a fast horse from the Wen family arrived, specifically asking for Chen Shisheng.

The man was clearly from the inner city. After some questioning, it was learned that Chen Shisheng had broken through the Bone Forging stage.

He immediately volunteered to lead the way and followed the people back to Wuhe City.

First they went to Chen Shisheng's house, but found no one there. After searching all the way, they finally found him at the inn.

"Brother Chen, you're really rich now!"

Xu Song's eyes were filled with complex emotions as he watched the carriage gradually disappear into the distance, as if the gap between the two of them was widening until the carriage was no longer visible.

......

Soon, the carriage slowly moved into the inner city.

This was Chen Shisheng's first time in the inner city, and the scenery was vastly different from that of the outer city.

The shops along the way were filled with a dazzling array of goods. The three major gangs had organized their own patrols, and no gang members were arresting people on the street. Cleaning teams were constantly sweeping the streets, making them clean and tidy, a sight to behold.

"Is this your first time visiting the inner city, Brother Chen?"

Across from Chen Shisheng, Wen Fengling, who was sitting opposite him, noticed Chen Shisheng's gaze and deliberately started a conversation.

"right."

Chen Shisheng lowered the carriage curtain and nodded.

"Then how about I show you around today, Brother Chen? If you're interested, I can also arrange a house for you, and then you can take your time to look at it in detail."

Wen Fengling raised her eyebrows slightly, her smile undiminished.

Her words were clearly intended to win her over.

They wanted to use the inner city residency quota to win over Chen Shisheng.

After all, the living environment in the inner city is on a completely different level compared to that in the outer city.

In terms of both safety and living conditions, the inner city is far superior to the outer city.

This is evident from the fact that countless wealthy families in the outer city are desperately trying to move into the inner city.

"....."

Chen Shisheng was about to speak when he was interrupted by the other party.

"Brother Chen, do you know why this inner city is called the inner city? And what are the differences between it and the outer city?"

Wen Fengling asked with a smile.

"I'd like to ask you."

Chen Shisheng shook his head.

"Brother Chen, you must have seen those evil spirits and demons when you were sent to Pingyang. To be honest, if an ordinary person encountered those things, they would only die."

Yet Wuhe City has remained standing. Brother Chen, do you know what it is that has enabled it to withstand the test of time?

Wen Fengling smiled mysteriously.

"What?"

"Stripped of meat!"

"If Brother Chen comes to help me, I'll give you a portion of this meat-slicing dish!"

Wen Fengling waved his hand generously, displaying a rather bold and forthright manner.

Her pretty face was full of heroic spirit, giving her the air of a female knight-errant.
