Sweeping Through Martial Arts: My Clone's Extraordinary Talent

Chapter 97 The County Government's Arrogance: You're the Ugly Face

Upon hearing this, Shen Han pondered for a moment.

Even Xuan Yangzi, the one who handled the case, wasn't qualified, which shows that what Magistrate He was trying to do was definitely not simple.

However, the compensation is substantial.

Just how generous is it?

Well, I've been looking for ways to make money lately anyway, and since there aren't any other options for the time being, I might as well go to the county government office and see what Magistrate He is up to!

"Mr. Ugly Face, how is it?"

After a moment, Xuan Yangzi asked cautiously.

Shen Han smiled faintly: "Alright, since you recommend me, I will respectfully comply. I will go with you to the county government office first and meet Magistrate He."

"Mr. Ugly Face is indeed a man of few words!"

Xuan Yangzi turned to Li Xiaohuan, "Sister, you go back to the inn to rest first. I'll accompany Mr. Ugly Face to the yamen. I'll be back soon after we're done."

"Um."

Li Xiaohuan was very sensible and obediently left.

Night has fallen.

Xuan Yangzi first treated Shen Han to a hearty meal, and then the two walked quickly to the Sanhe County Government Office.

The gates of the county government office were already tightly shut.

The two constables guarding the gate were about to stop them: "It's late today, gentlemen. If you wish to file a complaint, please do so tomorrow morning—"

"Master Xuanyangzi, it's you!"

"It is indeed I, this humble Taoist!"

Xuan Yangzi gave a cold snort, "Open the door, I have important matters to discuss with Magistrate He."

The constable hurriedly said, "Please come in, please come in—"

The constables were quite familiar with Master Xuan Yangzi. In recent years, Master Xuan Yangzi had helped the yamen arrest many thieves, and many constables even wanted to become his disciples.

"Mr. Ugly Face, please."

The door opened, and Xuan Yangzi let Shen Han go in first.

The constables were dumbfounded.

Xuan Yangzi has always been a high-ranking figure. When has he ever been so polite to anyone?

Could it be—

Suddenly, the two constables glanced at Shen Han's face and realized they had the same idea.

The two looked at each other, their eyes filled with disbelief.

After entering the yamen, Xuan Yangzi, familiar with the place, led Shen Han straight to the magistrate's inner hall.

Shen Han found it amusing.

Actually, this wasn't his first time visiting the government office.

He had come here before when he was treating the concubine of Magistrate He as a doctor. Coincidentally, it was here that he first met Xuan Yangzi.

dong dong!

Seeing that the lights were on in the inner hall, Xuan Yangzi knocked on the door.

"Come in."

The voice of County Magistrate He Guitu could be heard coming from inside.

Squeak!

Xuan Yangzi pushed open the door.

Inside the spacious inner hall of the yamen, besides He Guitu dressed in plain clothes, stood a man with a white turban.

"So it's a Taoist priest!"

Upon seeing Xuan Yangzi, He Guitu's eyes lit up.

But then he immediately noticed the ugly-faced Shen Han next to Xuan Yangzi.

"Master Daoist, who is this—"

"Reporting to Magistrate He, didn't you ask me to help find a master during this time?"

"Is it him?"

He Guitu was taken aback and said.

"Exactly!"

Xuan Yangzi said, "My martial arts are not even a fraction of his."

As soon as he finished speaking, the turbaned man let out a series of cold laughs: "Heh, what a joke!"

"Linghu Chuan, what do you mean?"

Xuan Yangzi said unhappily.

The turban-wearing man, Linghu Chuan, scoffed, "You're just an ordinary martial artist, far inferior to me. How much stronger can someone be than you?"

"you!"

Xuan Yangzi was furious.

He subconsciously looked at Shen Han's face, only to find that Shen Han had no expression at all.

As expected of Mr. Ugly Face, he's as steady as a mountain!

"What? Daoist Xuan Yangzi, do you want to have a match with me?"

Linghu Chuan mocked him once again.

Seeing this, Shen Han remained calm and stood aside, silently observing everything.

"Master, is he really capable?"

He Guitu walked to Xuan Yangzi's side and whispered.

Xuan Yangzi hurriedly replied, "Magistrate He, please rest assured, I am absolutely not lying!"

"That----"

He Guitu was about to reply.

In the blink of an eye, Linghu Chuan suddenly attacked, extending a finger and pointing it at Shen Han's forehead.

This finger gesture is his signature move: the Star-Pointing Finger.

This finger strike is incredibly fast and powerful; even a martial artist at the Body Refinement Realm would find it difficult to dodge.

However----

In Shen Han's eyes, who was at the peak of the Tendon Refining Realm, Linghu Chuan's Star Pointing Finger, which he was so proud of, was no different from slow motion.

He smiled faintly, remaining completely still.

Then he casually raised his fist and lightly punched Linghu Chuan's fingers.

Click!

Fists clashed.

In an instant, the sound of a finger breaking.

Like an egg hitting a rock.

Of course, the egg represents Linghu Chuan's finger, and the stone represents Shen Han's fist.

"Aww————"

Linghu Chuan retreated repeatedly.

He clutched his fingers, his headscarf soaked with pain: "You—you—"

Shen Han didn't bother to look at him and snorted coldly, "Sorry, I don't like people using force in front of me."

Haha, serves him right—Xuan Yangzi felt refreshed.

He felt extremely pleased to see Linghu Chuan being dealt with by the Ugly-Faced Man.

Because, like Xuan Yangzi, Linghu Chuan was also a ghostwriter hired by the county government, and he had been on missions in other places for the past few months, and the two had a long-standing feud.

Linghu Chong made a fool of himself, and Xuan Yangzi was naturally pleased.

Xuan Yangzi immediately became sarcastic: "Some people, even with average strength, overestimate themselves."

"Damn it—"

Linghu Chuan blushed deeply and managed to reattach his fingers.

But after experiencing Shen Han's prowess, he no longer dared to underestimate Shen Han.

"good!"

He Guitu shouted loudly.

He waved his hand and instructed Xuan Yangzi and Linghu Chuan, "You two go out first."

Xuan Yangzi knew perfectly well that Magistrate He was going to have a serious talk with the Ugly-Faced Man. He glanced at Linghu Chuan, whose finger was injured, and swaggered out of the inner hall.

Linghu Chuan remained silent, like a defeated rooster.

He gritted his teeth, turned his back, and avoided meeting Xuan Yangzi's gaze.

Xuan Yangzi, meanwhile, began to drink his tea.

At this moment, the smugness in his eyes was self-evident.

"Sir, may I ask your name?"

Inside the main hall, He Guitu invited Shen Han to sit down, and gracefully cupped his hands in a fist salute.

"I am nameless and surnameless. If Magistrate He does not mind, you may call me Ugly Face."

What!

"6

He Guitu was shocked. "You're Mr. Ugly Face?"

He almost fainted instantly.

As the magistrate of Sanhe County, he was naturally very familiar with the recently popular Ugly Face Man.

The killing of the two young leaders of the Green Robe Gang and the Black Dragon Gang, the killing of Elder Li Kong of the Blood Transformation Temple, and the killing of the Deputy Incense Master San Miao of the Moon Worship Cult—all of this was the work of Mr. Ugly Face!

It can be said that Mr. Ugly Face single-handedly turned the martial arts world of Sanhe County upside down.

He Guitu never expected that Mr. Ugly Face would be right in front of him!

Moreover, Mr. Ugly Face is actually Xuan Yangzi's friend. Why has Xuan Yangzi never mentioned this before?

Little did he know that Shen Han had saved Xuan Yangzi and Li Xiaohuan multiple times by posing as the Ugly Man. Xuan Yangzi's admiration for Shen Han was beyond words, and he would never reveal a single word without Shen Han's approval!

"Yes, I am Ugly Face."

Shen Han stared at He Guitu.

After a long pause, he said, word by word, "I wonder if my abilities are worthy of Magistrate He's approval?"
