From Under One Person: Sincere Journey Through the Heavens

"You've got guts!"

“We’ve known Wang Yaozu for a while, so we won’t bother you anymore, but that might not be the case for the other members of Quanxing.”

The woman, the tall, thin man, and Yuan Jingui gave Jiang Liu a cold smile, helped the burly man to his feet, and then left the place first.

Thank you for letting me know.

Seeing that they still remembered some of their friendship with Wang Yaozu, Jiang Liu nodded slightly. "However, as long as it's not a whole Quanxing gang coming to cause me trouble, I'll kill them one by one."

Not far away, a simply dressed, short-haired young man seemed lost in thought...

Upon hearing Jiang Liu's words, Zhang Zhiwei exclaimed "Wow!" and said to Zhang Jingqing beside him, "Master, he's much more arrogant than me."

"You still know how arrogant you are?" Zhang Jingqing snorted irritably, but her gaze fell on Jiang Liu.

He clasped his hands in greeting and bowed, saying, "You all have made a fool of yourselves. From now on, seniors and heroes need not worry about Quanxing. If they dare to make a move, I will kill them first."

# Chapter 14 The Fourth Class

"This Jiang Liu is quite strong and decisive in killing. He might actually become a prominent figure in the future."

The head of the Lü family stroked his chin and asked the head of the Wang family beside him, "What do you think?"

"He's a ruthless man."

The head of the Wang family said, "If we become enemies in the future, we cannot hold back. We must warn the younger generation of the family."

Boom!

At that very moment, Liu Wei, the manager of Yinghelou and a member of Jianghu Xiaozhan, struck the gong—

After all, it was Liu Wei who found Wang Yaozu and spread the news that he was going to leave Quanxing. As a local bigwig, Liu Wei was naturally the one to witness it.

"Elders of the sect, and all the seniors and heroes who have come from afar, the ceremony for the All-Circle Ghost Hand King to accept disciples officially begins!"

"Settle grudges and avenge wrongs!"

Liu Wei turned to look at Ghost Hand King, "Wang Yaozu, do you recognize him?"

"recognize!"

Wang Yaozu's body trembled.

To say he wasn't afraid of death would be a lie, but for Jiang Liu's sake, he was willing to take responsibility for the mistakes he had made in the past!

"Alright! Everyone, please proceed! The timeframe is seven days. Seven days from now, when the gong sounds again, you will all be witnesses that Wang Yaozu will no longer be a member of the Quanxing Sect, but a layman!"

After Liu Wei finished speaking, he left the scene, only to be pulled over by the head of the Jianghu Inn. The head of the inn tapped him on the head and laughed, "You've really made something of yourself, kid!"

"Sect Leader, I..."

"Alright, no need to say more. Over the next seven days, you should interact more with the younger generation from various sects and factions present. What we Jianghu Xiaozhan excel at is dealing with people from all walks of life. As long as they are not from the Quanxing sect, if you get along with them, you can be friends."

The head of Jianghu Xiaozhan patted Liu Wei on the shoulder and said meaningfully, "In seven or eight years, you should close Yinghelou and inherit the position of head of Jianghu Xiaozhan."

At this moment, a young man walked to the center of the field.

Who is this person?

"I don't know."

"It looks quite ordinary."

However, Zhang Jingqing and Zuo Ruotong noticed the young man's peculiarity, especially his eyes, which seemed to possess a restrained and profound spirit, yet were somewhat different.

"Young man, do we have a grudge?"

Wang Yaozu asked, "I don't remember stealing from you, but at my age, I don't remember everyone I've stolen from. If you want to hit me, can you tell me the specifics?"

“You’ve never stolen from me, and we have no grudge against each other. I just want to ask you a question,” the young man said. “The people of Quanxing live for themselves. Why did you quit? You should know that if someone really attacked you, you wouldn’t last seven days.”

“I can quit whenever I want, it’s that simple.” Wang Yaozu laughed, indicating that this was the nature of Quanxing, but he also felt that this person was a bit strange, but he still answered his question.

"I don't think so?"

The young man looked at Jiang Liu beside Wang Yaozu, "Is it for him?"

Wang Yaozu neither confirmed nor denied the claim.

The young man continued, “The concept of wholeness originates from Yang Zhu and mainly consists of three parts.”

Firstly, regarding life and death, where there is birth, there is death; this applies to everyone. While there are differences in wisdom and folly, poverty and lowliness in life, all return to decaying bones after death; the difference between Yao and Shun and Jie and Zhou is no different.

For someone your age, you've accomplished quite a bit.

But the second point, valuing oneself and finding joy in life, prioritizing one's own survival, is something you have violated.

Wang Yaozu pursed his lips and said, "So I'm leaving Quanxing."

The young man was taken aback and didn't bring up the third point again. After all, "preserving one's true nature" is not essentially about ensuring one's own safety, but about not envying longevity, fame, position, or wealth, and not fearing ghosts, people, power, or profit, thus maintaining and conforming to one's natural disposition!

Simply put, it means taking control of your own destiny.

Now, Wang Yaozu has chosen to leave Quanxing, knowing that he will inevitably die in the process, but he still chose to do so, which is in line with the meaning of "Quanxing Preserves Truth" that means taking control of one's own destiny.

But for some reason, Wang Yaozu's appearance gave him a glimmer of inspiration.

"who are you?"

Jiang Liu suddenly asked.

"My name is Feng Yao."

The young man revealed his name, but keenly noticed the seriousness in Jiang Liu's eyes and asked with some doubt, "Young brother, have you heard of me, a rogue cultivator?"

"No."

Jiang Liu confirmed his suspicions, sighed, and asked bluntly, "However, although I am young, I can still see your ambition."

"Oh?"

Feng Yao smirked and asked, "What ambitions do I have?"

"You want to become the leader of Quanxing, to discipline them and stop them from running amok," Jiang Liu said.

Upon hearing this, not only Feng Yao fell silent, but the other righteous people were also speechless.

Does Feng Yao really have such great ambitions?

"Haha, young man, you really love to joke. I do indeed have the idea of ​​putting my beliefs into practice..."

[They've admitted it!]

The people from all the different sects present were startled, feeling that this young man was overestimating himself.

"...But controlling Quanxing is too difficult. If Quanxing could be controlled, it wouldn't be Quanxing anymore. I don't have Yang Zhu's great ideals either." Feng Yao scratched the back of his head and laughed.

"So what kind of people do you think Quanxing are?" Jiang Liu stared straight at Feng Yao and asked calmly.

[This is a ghost!]

Feng Yao felt as if the young man in front of him had seen through him, not in the way a wise man sees through ordinary people, but rather as if the boy knew something about him and had guessed some of his thoughts.

"Quanxing? A bunch of trash!"

"You troublemaker!"

"A ruthless bandit!"

"What is Feng Yao hesitating about?"

The younger generation of extraordinary individuals were puzzled.

After a moment of contemplation, Feng Yao finally gave his answer: "A group of people who know they should have a 'path,' but don't know how to walk it."

"What is this guy talking about?"

"Could it be that they think the Quanxing are also a group of pitiful people?"

"How can a rogue cultivator be more naive than those of us from great clans?"

"Could he be some young master from a family who studies the classics?"

The young, unconventional man spoke without restraint, sparking much discussion out of curiosity.

But Feng Yao didn't care. He just stared at Jiang Liu, ignoring the other people present, and said, "The great principles in the book all say that all beings are equal. But what I have seen and heard along the way has made me realize one thing: all beings are not equal at all. Therefore, I have also divided people into four classes."

"Which four levels?" Jiang Liu asked knowingly.

"The first class is the masses, carefree and drifting with the tide."

Feng Yao looked at Jiang Liu for a while and still felt that the strange feeling of understanding him was very abrupt. However, he also had the thought that the other party was the same kind of person as him. So he did not hold back his thoughts. "The second type is the skilled person. This type of person has abilities or skills that are beyond ordinary people, but does not know what to do. They are muddleheaded and unaware of themselves. They are like a crane standing among chickens. They can be called skilled but without the right way."

The third category consists of skilled individuals who understand they should have a "path," but they don't know how to follow it, or they may have taken the wrong path and gone astray.

The fourth tier consists of those with both skill and principle; they possess ability, know which "path" to take, and know how to proceed along it.

# Chapter 15 The Sage Who Was Born Said: Heaven and Earth are not perfect; how can human power possibly achieve them?

"To divide people into four classes?"

"Arrogant fool!"

Upon hearing this, not only the younger generation of extraordinary individuals but also many of the older generation felt that Feng Yao had gone mad.

Even the sages of the past only dared to classify people into superior, middle, and inferior classes based on their different understandings of the "Dao." Yet Feng Yao dares to divide people into four classes!

Jiang Liu knew that these so-called four classes of people actually corresponded to corporal, sergeant, and sergeant.

The superior man, upon hearing of the Way, diligently puts it into practice.

Isn't he just a fourth-rate person who is skilled and virtuous?

When a sergeant hears the Way, he is half-convinced and half-doubtful.

They are the third type of people who have skills and principles, but don't know how to follow those principles.

When the lower-ranking officer heard the Way, he laughed loudly at it; if he did not laugh, it would not be the Way.

This corresponds to the first-class and second-class people mentioned by Feng Yao. Among the masses, those with skills but lacking principles, the former drift with the tide, while the latter are also in a state of neglect regarding their abilities, which is also a form of drifting with the tide.
