Becoming a saint begins with the infinite accumulation of destiny.
Chapter 47 Choice
On the way back, Chen Shisheng carefully considered the conditions for the two men.
The main difference between Wen Fengling and Wen Fengqu is that Wen Fengling is a meat-repelling soldier and Wen Fengqu is a patrol team.
Of course, there's also news about my older brother and the others; in that respect, there's not much difference.
For the Wen family, written records certainly exist; they only need to check them to find out where their elder brother and the others were sent.
If I put more effort into this area and use the Wen family's resources to search, I think it shouldn't be a big problem.
Chen Shisheng already had a lump of meat.
Taking another lump wouldn't really make much of a difference.
A patrol team, enforcing the law for the Wen family—it sounds really tempting...
"It's a pity... if only Wen Fengqu didn't have the label of 'seeking fame and fortune (white)' on his head... that would be great."
Chen Shisheng sighed softly.
He might actually be interested in the conditions in the literary style area.
This is a newly discovered trick of his: one can judge a person's general character by observing their birth chart.
The reason it wasn't discovered before was simply because there were too few people with the destiny signs in Pingyang Town.
Or perhaps, those who possess destiny are not human at all.
Having this fate indicates that Wen Fengqu is not sincere at all, but rather wants to take advantage of him.
Such people always use others when they need them and discard those they don't.
Liu Dagou and his servant are a prime example.
The writing style section will only keep those who are useful to them, and those who are useless can be discarded at any time.
Working for this kind of person will most likely result in being exploited and then discarded like a rag.
Heading from the inner city towards the outer city.
The inner city was separated from the outer city by several checkpoints. After inspection, the guards let him pass out of the inner city.
Once outside the inner city, the previous bustling scene vanished instantly, replaced by a sense of desolation and ruin.
Chen Shisheng walked towards the inn along the road, his eyes glancing around from time to time.
As evening approached, the last rays of the setting sun lingered on the streets of Wuhe City, covering them with a layer of pale gold, but were quickly swallowed up by darkness and enveloped.
The outer city grew increasingly deserted, with houses lining the streets tightly shut and shops closing early.
Only occasionally, when passing by some street corners, can one vaguely see sparse figures inside; those are wandering hoodlums.
His eyes, like those of a venomous snake in the dark, were fixed on a lone passerby, as if trying to memorize him.
Chen Shisheng paused, then glanced inside.
He had heard that recently, children and women were frequently going missing outside the outer city of Wuhe City.
Continue walking forward, crossing the stone bridge.
The river emitted a foul stench, filled with all sorts of garbage, human excrement, and huge, bloated white corpses, some of which were completely naked; just looking at them was enough to make one feel nauseous.
Chen Shisheng walked quickly. There were occasional pedestrian crossings, and people would lower their heads and walk around him when they saw him.
Since breaking through the Bone Forging Breakthrough, Chen Shisheng's body has become increasingly robust, and his height has soared to over 1.8 meters. His muscles are bulging all over his body, and coupled with the fact that he hasn't shaved for several days, he looks fierce.
Suddenly, as we passed the entrance to a dark alley.
From inside came a suppressed woman's cry for help, along with a man's angry curses and the sounds of physical blows.
Then came the sound of clothes tearing, and the woman's sobs and pleas for mercy.
Chen Shisheng stopped and stared at it for a moment.
The tall, thin thug standing guard at the alley entrance weighed the dagger in his hand, its blade gleaming coldly in the night.
"Kid, I advise you to mind your own business!"
He grinned, his expression malicious. But his voice sounded somewhat weak.
His robust physique still gave him an invisible visual pressure, making him only dare to utter some harsh words.
Chen Shisheng glanced inside from afar. After his breakthrough in bone forging, his five senses were sharpened and his eyesight was far superior to before, so he could naturally see the scene inside clearly.
He thought for a moment, then walked away, not wanting to get involved.
"You're smart to know what's good for you! Otherwise, even your old mother...!!!"
The tall, thin man continued to hurl threats at Chen Shisheng's retreating figure.
But the next second, his voice stopped abruptly.
A pebble struck him precisely in the temple, leaving a bloody hole.
The tall, thin man collapsed to the ground, his eyes quickly losing their light, and he stopped breathing.
The commotion outside alerted the people inside. A burly man, pulling up his trousers, stormed out, carrying a broadsword.
He spotted Chen Shisheng standing outside at a glance, then stared at his underling lying on the ground.
Without thinking twice, he took off running.
On a dark and windy night, there are only a few people in this world who dare to walk in the shadows at night.
He would never believe it if someone didn't have some real skills.
But the next second, another pebble hit his leg precisely.
The obese man let out a scream and was about to beg for mercy when...
But when he turned around, he saw several more pebbles flying towards him. In no time, he died, with several bloody holes of different sizes in his throat.
Chen Shisheng finally let out a long sigh of relief, feeling much more relaxed.
He developed this skill of flicking pebbles in his spare time.
He had become interested when he saw the man with the iron darts floating on the water; it was a great way to launch a sneak attack.
Long-range attacks are less likely to expose the target.
Moreover, it consumes very little of the body's vital energy and blood.
It is quite convenient.
So, after returning to Wuhe City, he would practice whenever he had free time to improve his skills.
After all, accuracy is the most important thing in darts.
It seems that it has been mastered.
"We can try using iron darts next time."
Chen Shisheng composed himself and walked toward the inn while thinking.
Before long, they arrived at the inn.
Not long after I entered the room, someone knocked on the door again.
Chen Shisheng got up and opened the door. Standing outside was a middle-aged man dressed as a manager, with a servant in black behind him.
"But Chen Shisheng, Brother Chen? I'm from the Wang family, my name is Wang Er."
Upon hearing this, Chen Shisheng immediately understood that this person was also trying to win him over.
He stepped aside to let the man into the house and asked what price he could offer.
"Nine catties of my Wang family's unique Nine-Refined Pork per month, and a house in the inner city. All other benefits for Wang family martial artists are also available to you."
Wang Er set out the terms.
Chen Shisheng did not agree immediately, but said he needed to consider it.
Soon, the Liu family, one of the three major families, arrived and offered a similar price. However, apart from that, no one was willing to provide meat scraps or a patrol team.
The price was far less than what the Wen family had offered, so Chen Shisheng immediately refused.
Then, people from a nearby gang arrived. It was the newly risen Tian Sha Gang, and their vice leader, Xiao Tian, came.
This person must have practiced some kind of hard-skill kung fu; his skin was unusually rough, and the joints of his arms were swollen. Even a slight touch produced a sound like metal clashing against stone.
Xiao Tian was extremely polite, standing with his hands clasped in a fist and palm salute.
"I've heard that a master of bone forging has emerged in the area under the jurisdiction of our Heavenly Fiend Gang. I am Xiao Tian, the vice leader of the Heavenly Fiend Gang, and I have come here to pay my respects."
"Nice to meet you. But... what can your Heavenly Fiend Gang offer me?"
Chen Shisheng was slightly curious. The Tian Sha Gang was just a small gang under the Wen family, yet it was trying to recruit experts.
This gang is making way too much money.
"No. How could our Heavenly Fiend Gang dare to hinder Brother Chen's future? We've heard that Brother Chen has only recently broken through and hasn't joined any other forces yet. Therefore, we would like to invite you, sir, to be the honorary leader of our Heavenly Fiend Gang."
Xiao Tian smiled and spoke honestly.
"Honorary gang leader?"
Chen Shisheng immediately understood.
This means you have to register under someone else's name.
Just like in the past, many schools liked to invite celebrities to serve as honorary deans or principals.
It's all about using his name to elevate the Tian Sha Gang's status and recruit more members.
He thought about it and then agreed.
This was not a troublesome matter at all. The two sides agreed that Chen Shisheng would only lend his name and had no obligation to help the Tian Sha Gang.
The Tian Sha Gang provides him with one hundred taels of silver per month, and he can also draw upon and command its members, as long as it's not too excessive.
Soon, the two signed the agreement and affixed their fingerprints.
Xiao Tian immediately had someone bring him a silver note worth one hundred taels of silver and a waist tag engraved with his name as proof of identity.
"Then I won't deliver it."
After seeing Xiao Tian off, Chen Shisheng closed the door.
He lay in bed, reflecting on everything that had happened that day.
After breaking through the Bone Forging Breakthrough, the changes were truly enormous. Not only was he no longer short of money, but people were rushing to deliver silver to him, and he even had a house in the inner city.
The inner city was a place of peace and tranquility that countless people longed for.
