A moment later, Xigou ran back into the room.
Fang Zhixing asked, “What did you hear?”
Xigou glanced at Fang Zhixing, his expression slightly complex, he humphed, “To put it simply, Cheng Tianen stopped teaching you because he thinks you’re not a good person.”
Fang Zhixing was speechless and clicked his tongue, “I’m not a good person?
How does he know I’m not a good person!”
Upon introspection, Fang Zhixing had always been extremely cautious and impeccable in his behavior in front of Cheng Tianen.
Xigou elaborated carefully, “Cheng Tianen said that the first time he met you, you had a strong smell of blood on you.
He felt there was something wrong with you from that first meeting and never really considered you one of his own.”
Fang Zhixing blinked.
He had indeed killed many people on his way from Funiu Village to the market town, and hadn’t bathed during that period, nor had he had the opportunity to do so.
“A strong smell of blood…”
Fang Zhixing’s face tightened with displeasure, and he gritted his teeth, “Damn it, I paid him to teach me martial arts, not to become his apprentice!”
Xigou giggled mockingly, “Cheng Tianen needed money for medical treatment before, which is why he taught indiscriminately.
Now that he’s recovered, he’s back to being choosy.
Don’t forget, he’s a renowned hero, and naturally, he has the air of a hero.”
Fang Zhixing couldn’t help feeling utterly dejected.
After thinking for a moment, he suddenly got up to pack his travel bag.
Seeing this, Xigou exclaimed in surprise, “No way, you’re leaving just like that?
Aren’t you going to try and negotiate?”
“Negotiate my ass!”
Fang Zhixing coldly said, “Cheng Tianen had already decided not to teach me.
He’s a hypocrite and wouldn’t say it directly, just find ways to drive me away. fɾeewebnoveℓ.co๓
Staying here is simply a waste of time.”
Xigou understood.
He was actually quite happy about it; he enjoyed seeing Fang Zhixing at a disadvantage.
Soon it was noon.
After Fang Zhixing had packed up, he went to bid farewell to Cheng Tianen.
He bowed and said, “Hero, there is an urgent matter at home that requires my immediate return.”
Cheng Tianen paused, his face revealing an intriguing expression, and asked lightly, “What urgent matter?
Do you need my help?”
Fang Zhixing quickly responded, “It’s just a trivial matter, I wouldn’t dare to trouble the hero with it.”
Cheng Tianen nodded slightly and said with a faint smile, “Then take care on your way, I won’t see you off.”
Fang Zhixing turned back to the room, took his travel bag, and quickly left the Cheng Family courtyard.
As expected, Cheng Tianen did not come out to send him off, showing no intention of retention.
I’m done with this~
Xigou, with a spring in his step and barely suppressing a laugh, asked, “Where are we going?”
Fang Zhixing replied, “If this place doesn’t want to keep me, there’s always another that will.
We’re going to the magistrate’s residence.”
Xigou asked in surprise, “What for?”
Fang Zhixing said earnestly, “I heard that the magistrate is hiring bodyguards.
Besides, this magistrate has a very significant identity.”
Xigou suddenly shivered.
Recently, whenever Fang Zhixing dined out, he would often chat with other diners and gathered much information.
The magistrate, Luo Kegong, was born into the Luo Family, one of the Four Major Families of Dan State.
The extent of this family’s power was such that they practically covered the sky with one hand.
For instance, Cheng Tianen was a disciple of the Iron Mountain Sect, Chen Yusheng was from the Black Tiger Sect.
However, the Iron Mountain Sect and the Black Tiger Sect actually both pledged loyalty to the Luo Family and were part of the same power structure.
Xigou instantly realized that when Fang Zhixing received this information, he must have already planned his future path.
He wanted to get close to Luo Kegong in search of an opportunity to enter high society.
Soon, the man and his dog arrived at the gate of Luo Kegong’s residence.
Fang Zhixing stepped forward and knocked on the door.
Before long, a gatekeeper poked his head out and asked, “Who are you, and do you know where you are to be knocking on this door?”
Fang Zhixing patted the hunting knife at his waist and replied, “Please inform the magistrate, sir, that I am here to apply for the bodyguard position.”
The gatekeeper nodded, replying, “Wait here.”
Soon after, the large gate creaked open.
The gatekeeper appeared again, saying, “Come in and follow me.”
Fang Zhixing stepped inside, following the gatekeeper into the mansion.
True to a bureaucrat’s residence, it boasted carved beams and painted rafters, artificial hills and flowing water, exuding a grand style of its own.
“Stand here and wait.”
The gatekeeper led Fang Zhixing to a spacious courtyard and then went off on his own.
After waiting for a moment, Fang Zhixing saw the corpulent Luo Kegong, accompanied by a muscular middle-aged man, walking toward him.
“Your humble servant Fang Zhixing greets Lord Liright,” said Fang Zhixing with a clear voice, bowing in greeting.
“Hmm, no need for formalities,” said Luo Kegong, waving his hand casually, not even giving Fang Zhixing a proper glance, and asked, “Do you know the rules for my Bodyguard recruitment?”
Fang Zhixing replied, “I have heard that you have a mighty warrior under your command, and that applicants must last ten rounds under his hand to qualify.”
Upon hearing this,
The strong middle-aged man’s face showed a proud smirk.
Clearly, he was the mighty warrior.
Luo Kegong nodded and said, “Then let’s see how good your skills are.
If you get injured by my man due to lack of skill, you can only blame yourself, not others.”
Fang Zhixing continuously replied, “I understand.”
The middle-aged man bowed slightly and said, “I am Wang Yitong, practicing the familial ‘Wang Family Inch Fist’.
Please educate me, brother.”
Fang Zhixing assumed a fighting stance and earnestly said, “Please!”
Wang Yitong, unconvinced, raised his hand and curled a finger, saying, “You go first.”
Without any courtesies, Fang Zhixing charged forward, employing Iron Mountain Sect techniques, throwing punches towards Wang Yitong’s upper body.
Wang Yitong dodged nimbly back to back, sneering coldly, “Is that all?”
As soon as the words fell, Fang Zhixing’s muscles tensed, twisting into a rope, suddenly accelerating diagonally, with a side shoulder bump!
Wang Yitong was shocked, raising both palms to block in front of his chest.
“Burst Skill·Inch Force!”
Bang!
Wang Yitong was knocked back, his feet sliding across the ground for several meters.
His hands were burning painfully, trembling slightly.
Fang Zhixing also paused, feeling a numbness in his shoulder.
In that moment, two Burst Skills had collided.
“Good man, you’ve developed a Burst Skill!”
Wang Yitong took a deep breath, his face awash with seriousness, the arrogance gone.
Fang Zhixing bowed and said, “I concede the point!”
By now, he had gauged Wang Yitong’s strength, the peak of Power Transmission Realm, yet to reach the Great Python Realm.
And he, after an enhancement from “Elite Sniper,” had surpassed the peak of Power Transmission Realm.
“What, you lost?”
Luo Kegong exclaimed in shock, disbelief plastered across his face.
He knew that Wang Yitong was the third-best fighter in the town.
Aside from Cheng Tianen and Chen Yusheng, no one was stronger than Wang Yitong.
Wang Yitong looked slightly embarrassed, his lips tightened, “This young fellow looks quite young, yet possesses exceptional strength.”
Luo Kegong laughed heartily, “Very well, I’ve gained another skilled fighter!”
Fang Zhixing repeated, “I am ready to serve you, my lord.”
