Unstoppable Martial Arts: Starting with brother's wife and young sister
Chapter 63 - 62: The Position of Hall Master (Begging for Follows!)

Chapter 63: Chapter 62: The Position of Hall Master (Begging for Follows!)

"I’m sorry, Little Sister Liu, I’ve made a mistake as your elder sister this time."

At the ferry.

Pei Yuenan stood at the bow, looking at Liu Rushi on the shore, apologetically speaking.

As for her,

The two have known each other for only a few years, but Liu Rushi is truly a friend she treasures.

There’s hardly anyone in the Pei Family who compares to her.

This time,

She initially just wanted to test the Young Master of the Chen Mansion.

Perhaps she went too far.

This led to Liu Rushi’s displeasure.

It was really a case of letting things get out of control, regretting deeply in her heart.

"I hope our friendship isn’t tainted by anything impure. Farewell, Sister!"

Liu Rushi bowed slightly.

"I will."

Pei Yuenan smiled and returned the courtesy.

The small boat sailed toward the county town,

On the shore, Liu Rushi sighed gently.

Then she returned to the Chen Mansion.

....

In the rear garden at this moment.

Chen Xuan stood in the corridor, his expression somewhat complicated.

"Yao Tian, huh."

Murmuring to himself.

Among the information Liu Rushi gave him yesterday, Yao Tian was prominently listed.

One of the most outstanding among the younger generation of the Yao Family.

And it is said he is a strong contender for the next Patriarch of the Yao Family.

His strength is not weak either, outwardly a Seventh-Grade Martial Artist, though whether he has hidden any power is unknown.

Of course,

This Chen Xuan didn’t take him seriously.

The key is the Yao Family behind him.

The strongest among the three major families.

Also having intricate ties with the County Government Office.

If he really makes a move, it would not only trouble him, even Master Chen might get involved.

That’s something he doesn’t want to see, because it’s his personal affair.

"Young Master!"

Just then, Liu Rushi walked over slowly.

"Sent off?"

"She’s gone, I’m sorry!"

Liu Rushi had an apologetic look on her face.

"It’s alright, I’m not a fool, not someone who can be swayed by a few words."

Chen Xuan waved his hand.

"Well, actually Sister Pei is very nice, but being in a big family, sometimes things are beyond her control."

Regarding Pei Yuenan, she genuinely liked this sister.

Besides Master Chen, she was probably her only friend.

"It’s fine, I understand, I’m not angry. After all, others worked hard to help you, and this is nothing, you should not dwell on it, nor let it affect the sisterly bond between you."

Chen Xuan wore a faint smile, offering comfort to her.

"Thank you, Young Master!"

Liu Rushi bowed slightly.

This time,

Chen Xuan’s eyes showed a hint of surprise.

This seemed to be the first time she saluted him.

During their first meeting, she had merely nodded.

It seems,

The relationship between Pei Yuenan and her is indeed extraordinary.

"Alright, go about your business. I’ll consider this matter further, and if Master Chen comes, let me know immediately."

"Understood, then I’ll leave you be."

After Liu Rushi departed, Chen Xuan fell into deep thought again.

For now, this matter needs to be put aside.

At least don’t act before reaching the fifth grade in strength.

If it were just him, taking some risks, assassinating Yao Tian wouldn’t be impossible.

However,

Now it’s impossible.

He is with Su Wanqiu and Su Yun.

Moreover,

Now Wang Hai is also following him.

If he were to have any accident, it would be difficult for them.

"A gentleman takes revenge, even if it takes ten years!"

"Hmph!"

Chen Xuan squinted his eyes and snorted coldly, a trace of chill exposed.

....

For more than ten consecutive days.

Chen Xuan began immersive cultivation.

Whether it was Absorption Palm, Flowing Cloud Body Technique, or Void Breaking Blade, he had mastered them.

....

In the study.

On the table, the Earth Spirit Snake egg was placed.

Chen Xuan’s hands hovered above.

Carefully sensing the condition in the egg.

At the same time,

His mouth constantly made strange sounds.

It lasted about the time of a cup of tea before Chen Xuan stopped.

"Still not enough?"

His eyes showed dissatisfaction.

A few days ago, after upgrading the Beastmaster Technique, he began incubating this Earth Spirit Snake egg.

Beastmaster Technique, if it were a mature Earth Spirit Snake, the probability of failure would be quite high.

Starting from snake eggs like this was when chance was greatest.

The Earth Spirit Snake is among the low-level demon beasts considered formidable,

And,

Chen Xuan once read in a book that the Earth Spirit Snake was rumored to have python blood. If he could truly activate the python bloodline, it would be a huge gain.

If the intermediate demon beast could smoothly grow up, it would be terrifying.

Sitting on the armchair, Chen Xuan opened the panel.

[Skill Points: 472]

"Only slightly over 400 skill points, still too few."

Chen Xuan felt somewhat helpless.

Working tirelessly every day, just to earn these skill points, is still too slow.

"If only it were pay-per-task."

Then forget about working like 996, he’d be dedicating himself wholly, unable and unwilling to get up from bed.

"Sigh!"

The room’s vision gradually dimmed.

"Time to go work, it’s a tough life!"

Sighing, he touched the Earth Spirit Snake egg on the table, then left the study.

...

In the black market.

At the very center, in a six-story pagoda.

On the sixth floor at this moment.

Three people sat together, drinking tea.

One of them was the long-absent Master Chen.

"The West District Hall Master’s term expires in a month, what are your views?"

The speaker wore a black long robe, with golden thread embroidered with a tiger-like demon beast, its mouth open, each formidable fang clearly visible, looking extremely fierce.

This person was one of the leaders of the black market, Primordial Thunder.

He had managed the black market for over thirty years.

After pouring a cup of tea for each of the two, he asked about the matter of the West District Hall Master.

Know this,

The black market has four districts.

Each district has a Hall Master, with a term of three years.

Now, the West District Hall Master’s three-year term is nearing its end.

It’s not just Yunze County’s three major families eyeing the position, but other smaller families are teaming up to vie for the Hall Master position.

The forces behind the black market are too complex.

But ultimately, the decision for this position rests with them three.

This is why they invited the two.

"Chen Xiu, what do you think?"

Then,

The man on the left spoke, dressed in a plain robe, although he had some gray hair, his skin was wrinkle-free, incredibly smooth.

After taking a sip of tea, he asked the silent Master Chen.

"Lord County Magistrate, you’re asking me? Do I have a say?"

Chen Xiu slightly lifted his wrinkled eyelids, looked at Yunze County’s County Magistrate, Zuo Qiu Ming, teasing.
