Zhang San, please behave yourself!
Chapter 544 - 506: Help Me Hold the Fort!

Chapter 544: Chapter 506: Help Me Hold the Fort!

As Zhang San led Jia Tulong out of the Shuofang Army’s camp, the several thousand Martial Artists who had already gathered outside realized that from now on, they must follow Zhang San.

Despite Mei Fei being the Grand Commander-in-Chief of the Longyun Path, he still had to let Jia Tulong go in the end.

And Jia Tulong also knew that without Zhang San, not to mention his own life, even the Wind Divine Hall would probably have been unable to protect itself.

This time, he owed Zhang San not just a massive favor but also his life!

Subsequently, among the Martial Artists, some started spreading stories about the unfavorable things Mei Fei had done over the years.

After all, everyone knew now that Mei Fei’s heart was not with theirs.

Initially, there was some hesitation, but now that their relationships were like this, a bit more trouble wouldn’t affect anything.

They simply said whatever they had to say.

Soon enough, Mei Fei’s reputation among the Martial Artists of the Longyun Path had plummeted to an all-time low.

After Zhang San returned to the Lingwu Army camp, Changsun Bubai immediately came over to inquire about the situation.

After learning everything, Changsun Bubai thought it over carefully and realized which aspects had been Zhang San’s handiwork.

After all, even if Shen Buxing was very greedy, it would not have escalated to the current situation.

"Zhang San, you should be careful," he said.

Zhang San asked with a smile, "Careful of what?"

"The way of the Martial Artists, you used it against Mei Fei, and Mei Fei certainly took the bait. But don’t forget, you are now in the Lingwu Army, and although I call the shots here, in the eyes of the Longyun Path, it’s still Mei Fei’s world. Both you and I must be extra cautious."

Zhang San naturally knew that Changsun Bubai wouldn’t harm him, so he immediately replied, "In that case, can you let me see that Secret Manual of yours a bit earlier?"

Zhang San had only asked casually, but to his surprise, Changsun Bubai actually took out a very thick scroll from his Storage Ring and handed it to Zhang San.

Zhang San took the scroll and unrolled it to look, and he couldn’t help but be astonished.

"Why does this Six Gods Flower Dew Holy Technique have so many diagrams?" he exclaimed.

"What did you think? Why do you think it took so long for me to give it to you? Did you really think I was deliberately defaulting? Not only does it include what I learned initially, but it also contains some insights I’ve realized over the years as well as understandings of the Spirit Platform Illusion gained from cultivating in the Spiritual Platform Realm that I’ve seen in other places, all recorded in here."

Zhang San, looking at the scroll nearly as thick as his waist, was shocked beyond measure.

He estimated that it would take an indefinite amount of time to finish reading all these materials.

"Zhang San, in the Spiritual Platform Realm, the most important and difficult thing is not Qi Filling the Majestic Sea, but the Spirit Platform Illusion. And for a Cultivator cultivating the Five Viscera Wheel Seas, the most crucial part is to find the six Divine Treasures within their own Seas of Wheels."

"The Six Gods Flower Dew Holy Technique is about shaping your own Spirit Platform Illusion into a flower, and then having the six Divine Treasures bloom on its six petals. If one fails to find all six Divine Treasures in their lifetime, then the flower can have five, or even four, petals. That’s the magical aspect of this technique."

"It’s not only suited for geniuses but also for those with average talents and less fortunate opportunities."

"But I’ve also recorded various types of Spirit Platform Illusions of strong practitioners I’ve seen over the years in the Spiritual Platform Realm. If you don’t fancy the idea of a flower, you can try other methods. Ultimately, the framework of all Spirit Platform Illusions is conceived and designed by the Cultivators themselves. How to design the most suitable or the strongest requires constant innovation based on the predecessors’ insights," he explained.

"Keep it up! I have faith in you!" he encouraged.

Zhang San had always thought of Changsun Bubai as an Old Fox, always dangling the Secret Manual in front of him to get work done.

Only now did he realize that Changsun Bubai had been helping him transcribe the Secret Manual all along; it just took a very long time, which is why it was only given to him now.

Therefore, Zhang San immediately stood up and bowed deeply to Changsun Bubai with great respect.

"Thank you, Military Envoy. Rest assured, when your old friend arrives, I will certainly make you proud."

Changsun Bubai laughed heartily and replied, "The matter concerning me is no big deal, no worries. You focus on cultivating diligently for now. If there’s any problem, just come and ask me directly. Also, if Mei Fei looks for you in the coming days, I’ll block him for you."

"Thank you, Military Envoy," Zhang San expressed with gratitude.

Zhang San knew that Changsun Bubai was making these arrangements also because he was concerned about Mei Fei retaliating against him.

After all, under Mei Fei’s command were four fierce generals, two of whom could be considered to have died by his hand.

So indeed, for the upcoming period, he really did need to be careful.

After returning, Zhang San began his seclusion to cultivate, focusing on studying the Six Gods Flower Dew Holy Technique.

One had to admit that this Cultivation Technique indeed had its unique aspects.

Alongside the variety of Spirit Platform Illusions that Changsun Bubai had witnessed over the years, they broadened Zhang San’s horizons.

At the same time, Zhang San also faintly felt that he was getting closer to the other three Divine Treasures within him.

Although he was still in the Qi Filling the Majestic Sea phase and had never found the other three Divine Treasures, Zhang San had this inexplicable feeling that he was getting closer and closer to them.

However, just less than ten days into his seclusion, Changsun Wuji came running to get him out.

"What’s so urgent?"

After being called out by Changsun Wuji, Zhang San asked with an annoyed expression.

Changsun Wuji spoke in a low voice, "Our Changsun Family’s relatives by marriage have arrived. It’s all to support my sister. How can it be done without you?"

Zhang San pursed his lips and finally realized what Changsun Bubai had been talking about when he mentioned that his old friend was coming.

It must be these relatives by marriage.

"Whose? Yours?"

Changsun Wuji waved his hand and sighed, "Of course not mine. My grandpa doesn’t care about my affairs at all."

"Do you even need him to care? You’ve almost visited every brothel in Spring Breeze Town. Why would your grandpa worry about you? He’s just worried you might catch a disease in the brothels."

Changsun Wuji pursed his lips and changed the subject, "It’s about my sister Youde. Look, they even call you Brother San, and they are polite to your Xiang and Ximen Jinxing. Now that her future father-in-law and husband-to-be have come, don’t you need to help her save some face?"

Only then did Zhang San realize that it was Changsun Youde’s future husband who was coming.

As the two men headed towards the camp entrance, Zhang San inquired and found out what was going on.

"So your sister is betrothed to the second son of the Li Family from Taiyuan on the Jin River path, Li Sandao? The one who is one of the Four Young Masters of the Capital, right?"

Changsun Wuji nodded repeatedly.

"Moreover, Li Sandao’s grandmother is Empress Dugu’s own sister, so he’s practically Imperial Relatives as well. What if he bullies my sister in the future? That’s why we must keep that young man in check today!"

Calculating the relationship, it seemed that Li Sandao should be calling him ’Uncle’.

"Don’t worry, I’m here. I’ll make sure to give your brother-in-law-to-be a good squeeze!" Zhang San said.

Speaking, Zhang San and Changsun Wuji had already arrived outside the camp.

Changsun Bubai, along with his personal troops and Changsun Wugen, had already been waiting there for a while.

At that moment, a procession of horse-drawn carriages was slowly approaching from the distance.

Then a middle-aged man, who looked like a rich merchant, alighted from the carriage, accompanied by a young man on horseback, about sixteen or seventeen years old.

However, for some unknown reason, as this father and son pair approached, they didn’t immediately greet Changsun Bubai; instead, they both turned their heads to look at Zhang San.

Zhang San was also puzzled, wondering why their gazes toward him were so strange.

It was as if they were regarding him as their relative by marriage.

No, the fervent emotion in their eyes was even more intimate and excited than if they had seen their own relative by marriage.

Changsun Bubai noticed this as well.

He was extremely curious: had Zhang San learned some Bewitching Technique from Hu Xingxiang?

But just then, Changsun Bubai heard two thudding sounds.

Then, right in front of him, in front of all his personal soldiers and his two sons, Changsun Bubai saw his relatives by marriage and his daughter’s future husband kneel down towards Zhang San!

I asked you to show face, but you’ve taken this showing face too far, haven’t you?
