I'm currently reading Chapter 45, preparing to attend the conference, and I'm completely engrossed in it.

Wang Cheng stayed at Shaolin Temple for a long time, visiting his master and the sweeping monk. The sweeping monk then examined Wang Cheng's martial arts skills.

Upon discovering that Wang Cheng had mastered many martial arts techniques, the Sweeper Monk patiently pointed out the shortcomings in Wang Cheng's skills. After thanking the Sweeper Monk, Wang Cheng went to find Lin Pingzhi.

Lin Pingzhi received very good treatment at Shaolin Temple. He became a disciple of Master Xuanbei and learned Master Xuanbei's ultimate skill, the Great Vajra Pestle. His martial arts skills had reached the first rank of the Innate Realm.

Lin Pingzhi was very envious when he saw that Wang Cheng had another stunningly beautiful woman by his side. He felt that being Wang Cheng's underling was a very promising career path.

After all, his family's security escort agency has now expanded nationwide, and its income is booming.

It was all thanks to Wang Cheng who helped their family's escort agency; otherwise, their Fuwei Escort Agency would have been wiped out by Yu Canghai long ago.

Moreover, Lin Pingzhi now has a lot of money in his hands and lives the life of a playboy.

If he wanted to find a beautiful woman to be his wife, it would be a piece of cake, because Lin Pingzhi is now rich, skilled in martial arts, and handsome.

Moreover, his reputation in the martial arts world also grew thanks to his elder brother, the Shadowless Prince Wang Cheng.

Therefore, Lin Pingzhi was very grateful to Wang Cheng, and he was also very willing to be Wang Cheng's subordinate.

Feeling very proud, Wang Cheng led Lin Pingzhi, Huang Rong, Xiaolongnu, and their group on horseback towards Hengshan City in Hunan.

They ate, drank, and played along the way, having a great time. After eight or nine days, the group arrived in Hengyang City.

Upon arriving here, Wang Cheng discovered that there was also a branch of Wang's Restaurant. He went to his restaurant branch and ordered a table full of dishes.

The menu includes braised pig's trotters with twisted dough sticks, fish head with chopped chili peppers, Mapo tofu, grilled veal ribs, blueberry yam, stewed mutton, and spicy chicken nuggets.

There's also a bowl of white rice and a large cup of Coke for each person. In today's martial arts world, anyone who hasn't drunk Coke or Sprite is already out of touch with the times.

In the Song Dynasty, Dali Kingdom, and even other countries, drinking Coca-Cola and eating fried chicken has become a must-do trend. If you say you've never drunk Coca-Cola, that's a no-brainer.

Other martial arts figures would laugh at them for not understanding the trends. Wang's Restaurant had branches all over the Song Dynasty, no matter where you went, as long as it was a large county town.

There will definitely be a Wangji Restaurant, and there will even be people who deliver food to your home. These are all people from Wuyingtang doing this job. Now, Wuyingtang has grown to more than 20,000 people.

These people all possessed martial arts skills and followed strict management rules.

The members of the Shadowless Hall obeyed Wang Cheng's orders in unison. The core 3000 men were all at least second-rate, with some reaching first-rate martial arts level.

The group has grown to over 400 people. The current businesses of Wuyingtang include running restaurants, escorting goods, delivering food, and providing private bodyguard services.

After Wang Cheng partnered with Fuwei Escort Agency, Wuyingtang's business level greatly improved, and its core 3000 people took turns going to Fuwei Escort Agency's headquarters.

They went to receive business training. Now, the Shadowless Hall's personnel also engage in intelligence gathering and various private bodyguard operations.

It brought Wang Cheng an income of three to four million taels of silver every year. Wang Cheng kept part of the money for himself and used the rest to buy armor.

He had Lin Zhennan help him build a private armed force. These people broke into smaller groups and joined armies and gangs in various places to practice martial arts and develop their power.

They uniformly obeyed the arrangements of their superiors, and their overall leader was Wang Cheng.

Wang Cheng carried the Shadowless Hall's leader's token. Whenever he arrived at Wang's Restaurant or any of the Shadowless Hall's branches, he only needed to show the Shadowless Hall's leader's token.

He could then freely command anyone from Wuyingtang and Wangji Restaurant to help Wang Cheng with anything.

Moreover, Wang Cheng, carrying the gang leader's token, can eat and drink for free at any of Wang's Restaurant's branches.

After Wang Cheng finished his meal, he showed the owner the Shadowless Token. The owner immediately became extremely respectful, bowing and scraping to Wang Cheng, and promptly waived the cost of Wang Cheng's meal.

All the high-ranking leaders of the Shadowless Hall possess Shadowless Tokens, only at different levels.

Any high-ranking leader of Wuyingtang can eat and drink for free at Wangji Restaurant as long as they show their token.

For example, Lin Zhennan and Lin Pingzhi's family, Zhao Xian'er, as well as Xiaolongnu and Huang Rong, can all show their tokens at any place with Wangji Restaurant.

You can eat and drink for free, and then take away a certain amount of silver.

Moreover, each token has its own unique anti-counterfeiting mark, making it absolutely impossible for outsiders to forge.

In the ancient martial arts world, there was absolute inequality between people, and this kind of token was a good way to maintain people's privileges.

It's also a good way to win people's hearts. With this token, a large number of martial arts masters can be attracted to join the Shadowless Hall.

Although no exceptional individuals have joined the Shadowless Hall yet, its future development will be significant.

This level of privilege will become an even more attractive way to join.

Lin Pingzhi also enjoyed this privilege and the way he was treated specially.

He now introduces himself as a high-ranking leader of the Shadowless Hall and the young head镖师 of the Fuwei Escort Agency wherever he goes.

He always mentions the senior leaders of Wuyingtang, as if he's afraid others won't know.

Because now the Shadowless Hall is much more famous than the Fuwei Escort Agency.

After Wang Cheng and his group finished their meal, they were preparing to go out for a stroll and then head to Hengshan City to see how the Golden Basin Washing Hands Ceremony was going.

Suddenly, a handsome man, a tall and burly young man, and a stunningly beautiful young nun entered.

This handsome man immediately ordered 10 jin of wine, and it was 10 jin of top-grade Daughter Red wine.

The tall, burly young man ordered four catties of beef, a stir-fried chicken, a bottle of Sprite, and several local specialties.

The young nun followed them, looking troubled, her eyes and face flushed, glancing at the handsome man from time to time, clearly pleading for his help.

Looking at the trio's attire, Wang Cheng suddenly realized that this was Hengyang City, and the three of them must be Linghu Chong, Tian Boguang, and Yilin.

Sure enough, after they found a place to sit down, the handsome man said to the young man, "Brother Tian Boguang, if you release this little nun, we two can become sworn brothers, drink and eat meat together, wouldn't that be wonderful?"

The saying goes, "If you see a nun, you're bound to lose at gambling." Disrespecting monks will bring you great misfortune. Quickly drive this little nun away, and I'll become sworn brothers with you.

"Wouldn't it be wonderful if the two of us could drink and chat, discussing amusing tales of the martial world?"

The two picked up some wine and meat, and started eating and chatting. They kept asking Yilin to pour them more wine as they ate, and they seemed quite comfortable with themselves.
