Human Martial Saint: Starting with Bajiquan

Chapter 94 Return

"Of course not!"

Liu Sheng explained matter-of-factly:

"No secrets stay hidden forever. This is only enough for you to make a few trips to alleviate the current financial pressure. In time, the enemy will definitely find out. So... I suggest that you prepare more horses for your trips. If you encounter another attack of this scale, abandon the stone materials and have everyone mount up and escape to avoid unnecessary sacrifices."

Everyone nodded in agreement.

While the loss of goods is regrettable, the loss of life is even more unacceptable.

Not to mention that funeral and bereavement expenses are too high.

It has a greater impact on family morale.

Moreover, the loss of a martial artist of the first rank cannot be compensated by money alone.

Speaking of it.

Liu Sheng breathed a sigh of relief:

"Master, I need to request a few days' leave. Wang and Li can take turns sparring with me. I had some contact with the rebel army before because of Yejia'ao. I'll try to contact them again and completely eliminate this demon army."

In this way, it can be considered that the promise was kept, and half a job was found for Wang and Li respectively.

As for the solution to the problem, he originally wanted to say that he would think of other ideas when he got back.

But this seems too fake in front of a prestigious family like the Yan family.

It sounds like an excuse.

For him to be able to think of something quickly in this situation is already the limit for an ordinary person.

Considering that he was besieged by bandits in Yejia'ao before, many people in Crescent Moon County know about it, so it's reasonable that he has some connection with the rebel army, right?

It would be reasonable for him to go find the rebel army himself, wouldn't it?

Mentioning the rebel army could at least give the Yan family, these easily frightened birds, a little more sense of security.

Anyway, he's going back.

Just talk to the senior brother directly.

That's equivalent to turning to the rebel army.

If we could go together and earn some military merits, that would be even better. He still vividly remembers the 300 taels he got in exchange for those wolf ears last time!

Upon hearing Liu Sheng's words, the Yan family members' eyelids twitched.

Especially the patriarch Yan Lie, he certainly knew that Liu Sheng's relationship with the rebel army was probably much closer than it appeared.

But if the other party doesn't point it out, he doesn't need to expose it.

"Thank you so much, Master Liu, for your thoughtful planning for the Yan family. This is just a small token of my appreciation."

Yan Lie waved his hand and made a gesture, and the butler came over again with a mahogany tray.

Liu Sheng looked closely and saw ten silver notes, each worth one hundred taels, stacked on the tray.

"Good heavens!" he thought to himself in surprise.

After thinking for a moment, he held up his finger.

I took two of them.

Two hundred taels.

"Thank you for your generous gift, patriarch. It's just a small scheme, not worth a thousand pieces of gold. Please keep the rest for now and come back to ask for it again once you've found a foolproof plan."

Liu Sheng smiled slightly, then changed his tone:

"But at that time, the remaining eight hundred taels wouldn't be enough. I need to do more trading these days and give you more money later."

Actually, he was quite tempted, after all, he had just been purchasing precious medicines from Yin Ruyu.

It almost emptied his savings.

But Liu Sheng knew that money from powerful families wasn't so easy to get.

Moreover, he also has his own principles for handling affairs.

Consider this two hundred taels as a deposit.

Once things are resolved, I'll ask for 1,800!

"Hahahaha, very well! Then I will await good news!"

Upon hearing this, Yan Lie's previously listless face brightened with joy, his tiger-like eyes widening slightly, and he broke into a hearty laugh, a rare occurrence for him.

He didn't stand on ceremony with Liu Sheng.

have to say.

This young man really suits his temperament.

After Liu Sheng took the money, Steward Yan saw him out.

He also went to see Yan Zhan on his way.

After all, Liu Sheng realized that he was already at the eighth rank, and he had used up all the precious medicines he had accumulated over fifty years. The remaining thirty-year-old ginseng wouldn't be of much use.

It's impossible to achieve any further breakthroughs in skill level with it in the short term, so it's better to focus on making money.

"Brother Zhan, I've come to return your precious medicine!"

"Huh? You've reached rank eight too?!"

Yan Zhan originally intended to use the fact that he was already an eighth-rank official while Liu Sheng was only a ninth-rank official to decline the offer and suggest that Liu Sheng take the medicine first.

But when he looked closely, he realized that Liu Sheng was also an eighth-rank official.

I accepted it after offering my congratulations.

Steward Yan, who was accompanying them, naturally returned to the main hall and told the family, the second master, and the third master about the matter.

Upon hearing that Liu Sheng actually kept his promise.

They also found a precious medicine and returned it to Yan Zhan.

Yan Lie stroked his beard and smiled, while Third Master took the opportunity to mock Second Master.

The second master was also quite ashamed, and the slight resentment he had towards Liu Sheng completely vanished. However, he still stubbornly insisted, "This boy is an exception among outsiders; we can't generalize!"

the other side.

Liu Sheng returned to the Bajiquan Hall and immediately sought out his senior brother.

He then recounted his experiences in the Yan family.

"Even if you hadn't come to me, I still had to deal with this. My family's caravan has already been robbed twice by these demon soldiers."

"I see."

Lu You is the eldest son of the Lu family's carpentry workshop in Yueya County. Recently, many wealthy families from Shazhou came to Yueya County and built houses there.

Therefore, the most successful businesses were the Yan family, which dealt in stone materials, and the Lu family, which made carpentry.

"If you have nothing else to do, junior brother, how about coming with me to pay our respects to Master and Grandmaster?"

"I couldn't ask for more!"

Liu Sheng's spirits lifted.

My last trip to Mohai Caves.

He has always missed it.

When he realized that he had latched onto such a powerful backer, he gradually changed and awakened to the aspirations and pursuits he had held since his awakened wisdom.

In his mind, he was destined to make a difference in this demon kingdom in the future.

I recently heard that Shazhou City has been sealed off by the imperial army, and Liu Sheng was originally worried about his master and the others.

Now, I hear from Lu You that I can go and pay him a visit.

He was naturally very happy.

After tidying up briefly, the two arrived at the city gate again.

This time, however, Ye Qi was not with him.

So Liu Shengshun asked his senior brother about Ye Qi's recent situation.

"Oh, her? She's been diligently practicing martial arts with her master's wife, and I heard she's making great progress. She recently tried to break through to the Yi Jin Jing realm, but failed."

Seventh Grade Yi Jin Realm!

Although it was a failure, the progress was terrifying!

Is this the value of superior bone structure?

Upon hearing this, Liu Sheng clicked his tongue in amazement.

He recalled that he had become highly skilled and had never slacked off, practicing diligently every day. Recently, he even spent a large sum of his own money to buy precious medicine.

This is barely the beginning of the eighth rank.

What does Ye Qi mean by this? He's already reached the eighth rank of perfection?

He was about to cry.

Just as he was pondering, Lu You's hand reached for his collar again, intending to lift him up once more and use his lightness skill to continue on his way.

"Senior Brother, I'm already at the eighth rank, I'll do it myself!" Liu Sheng protested, dissatisfied.

He was already an eighth-rank official, yet he didn't use his lightness skill.

Then wasn't it a waste to reach the eighth rank?

"I'm in a hurry today. I'm a seventh-rank, and my movement speed is much faster than yours."

Lu You took direct action, and Liu Sheng, unable to struggle, became like a little chick in his senior brother's hands once again.

With each leap, it soared through the air.

When he saw that the direction they were heading was still towards the Desert Cave, Liu Sheng shouted loudly:

"Senior Brother, have Grandmaster and the others returned to the Desert Sea Cave again?"

"Yes, I heard my master say before that the Desert Sea Cave has some special features that are very beneficial to martial artists with higher martial arts levels, and it is suitable for my grandmaster to break through his cultivation... However, my martial arts level is too low, and my master has never explained to me what the specific benefits are."

And so, the two brothers, chatting casually and swiftly, made their way to the Desert Cave.
