19: Chapter 19 Widow Wang Learns to Read

Chen Hu arrived at the stronghold's office.

He first made himself a cup of tea.

He was not in a rush to Cultivate.

Because Elder Song's descendant was coming to report for duty today.

He had already given instructions about this; when the person arrived, they were to be brought to his office.

As for going to the entrance to welcome him?

Are you kidding? A big leader like him going to welcome a small leader? He cared about his Face.

Besides, he had no intention of sucking up to Elder Song.

He just needed to Cultivate step by step, and in a few months, he would be able to surpass Elder Song, who was in the Tendon Refining Realm.

A quarter of an hour later.

Er Niu brought the well-dressed Young Master over and said:

"Boss, he says he is the newly appointed small leader!"

"So it's Brother Song. Sit down and talk. Er Niu, there's nothing for you here, go out and get busy!"

"I am Song He, greetings to Big Leader Chen!"

Song He said with a hint of arrogance.

Hearing this, Chen Hu scrutinized the other party. He looked to be in his early twenties, handsome enough, but his complexion was slightly pale, and his eye sockets were sunken and dark, looking very much like the result of excessive drinking and debauchery.

While observing the other party, Chen Hu secretly held a copy card, locking onto him.

The other party's talent and cultivation level appeared in his eyes.

Cultivation: Skin Refining Middle Stage. Talent: Yellow Grade, lower tier.

Age: 22.

With Yellow Grade lower-tier talent, only at Skin Refining Middle Stage at 22, this cultivation was a bit low.

"Brother Song, no need for formalities, sit down and talk!"

"Many thanks, Big Leader!"

Song He cupped his hands and sat down. Although he had some arrogance, he was still polite.

Next, Chen Hu briefly introduced the situation of Yuquan Street and Feiquan Street to Song He, and at the same time, told him his responsibilities as a small leader.

But Song He listened somewhat absent-mindedly.

"Let's go, Brother Song, I'll take you to meet your subordinates!"

Chen Hu stood up, went outside with Song He, and then called Er Niu to gather all the people in his team.

After everyone had arrived.

Chen Hu pointed at Song He and announced: "This is Brother Song He. From now on, he is your small leader!"

"Greetings to Leader Song!"

A group of underlings greeted in unison.

"Alright, Brother Song, you first get to know the people under you. I'll go back to my office first. If there is anything you don't understand, feel free to ask me!"

After dropping this sentence.

Chen Hu went back to his office to Cultivate.

In the evening, at the end of the shift.

Chen Hu called Er Niu over and asked: "How did Song He perform today?"

Er Niu curled his lips and said with some disdain: "He has the airs of a Young Master completely. He couldn't sit still after staying at the stronghold for a while, and ran off to the brothel to listen to music. Then in the afternoon, he ran to a brothel to mess around, and hasn't come out yet!"

"Alright, I know. Keep an eye on him for a while longer!"

Chen Hu nodded.

"Yes!"

After dismissing Er Niu, Chen Hu also got off work.

He arrived at Widow Wang's home.

She had already prepared the meal.

After dinner, he asked: "Did you buy the books I told you to buy?"

"I've already bought them back!"

"Alright then, tidy up quickly. Once you're done, I'll teach you how to read!"

Chen Hu teaching Widow Wang to read was so she could understand Cultivation Techniques.

After a while.

After Widow Wang finished tidying up, Chen Hu had her take out the books, open the first page, and began to teach her to read.

It had to be said, Widow Wang was quite talented.

After an hour, she had actually memorized over a hundred characters.

This made Chen Hu quite satisfied, and he decided to give her a little reward, so he swept her up and went to the room.

After midnight.

Chen Hu took out the treasure hunting card.

He hadn't gone to retrieve the Treasure Trove he opened yesterday.

It wasn't that he didn't want to, but because he discovered that the Treasure Trove was hidden inside the Sun Family Martial Arts Hall.

The master of the Sun Family Martial Arts Hall was a Late-stage Tendon Refining expert.

Even with an invisibility card, Chen Hu didn't want to take the risk.

Anyway, he had already noted the location of the treasure.

He would go treasure hunting after he became stronger in the future.

"Activate treasure hunting!"

Chen Hu used today's treasure hunting attempt.

Suddenly, an image appeared in his mind.

The image injected into his mind by the treasure hunting card was of a broken Buddha statue in a dilapidated temple west of the city.

The red arrow pointed to the inside of the Buddha statue.

Chen Hu's eyes flickered, and he decisively chose to act.

Half an hour later.

Chen Hu arrived at the dilapidated temple.

He found the half-broken Buddha statue and decisively punched it.

Immediately, the remaining half of the Buddha statue exploded instantly.

Then his gaze locked directly onto a package on the base of the Buddha statue.

"Collect!"

With a wave of his hand, the package was put into his Storage Ring.

Then he turned and left.

Returning to Widow Wang's home.

Chen Hu opened the package.

He found it was a brocade box.

The box was unlocked, so he opened it directly.

Lying inside was a Secret Manual called "God-Slaying Slash".

Taking out the Secret Manual, Chen Hu began to study it seriously.

After reading it twice, the Secret Manual was engraved in his mind without missing a word.

Then, he stuffed the Secret Manual back into the brocade box and put it into his Storage Ring.

After pondering the blade technique Secret Manual in his mind.

He sensed the extraordinary nature of this Martial Skill.

He had also practiced blade techniques.

He had practiced the Three Talents Saber passed down by the Fierce Tiger Gang to the proficiency Realm.

Now, having read this "God-Slaying Slash", he suddenly felt that the Three Talents Saber technique he practiced was just a pile of dog shit.

Therefore, he estimated that this "God-Slaying Slash" was a Martial Skill exceeding the Xuan Grade, and had likely reached the Earth-grade.

Unfortunately, the Rank was too high.

He couldn't Cultivate it.

He was afraid he would only be qualified to Cultivate "God-Slaying Slash" upon reaching the Bone Refining Realm.

Since he knew he couldn't Cultivate it.

Chen Hu stopped paying attention to it, and instead started adjusting his breathing to Cultivate the "Spirit Refining Art".

Early morning.

Chen Hu arrived at the stronghold's office as usual.

He made himself a cup of tea first.

Then he opened the cards.

After opening the three cards, he obtained 10 taels of silver, one qi and blood pill, and 10 jin of ordinary cooked meat.

Time flew by, and it was noon again.

Chen Hu stepped into a restaurant near the stronghold.

Seeing Chen Hu arrive.

The waiter immediately greeted him enthusiastically, led him to his usual seat, and asked: "Master Hu, what would you like to eat today? Oh, by the way, the kitchen has fresh river seafood today!"

Chen Hu said: "Then get a portion of river seafood, a stir-fried mutton, and a vegetable dish!"

"Alright Master Hu, please wait a moment!"

Not long after the waiter left.

A group of young men and women entered the restaurant together.

The leader was none other than the chief Senior Brother of the Sun Family Martial Arts Hall, Chen Wu.

The other party's Realm had already reached the Meat Refining Stage.

He would likely inherit the mantle of the Sun Family Martial Arts Hall in the future.

Seeing Chen Hu, Chen Wu nodded at him with a smile, and Chen Hu also nodded in response.

"Senior Brother, he is just a Gang member, why do you have to be so polite to him!" Seeing Chen Wu greeting Chen Hu, Sun Lingyue said with some dissatisfaction.

"Junior Sister, Gang members cannot be treated all the same. Although this Chen Hu is a Gang member, he follows the rules in his conduct, and his reputation is actually quite good!" Chen Wu explained.

"Tch, a Gang member is a Gang member, aren't they all birds of a feather!"

Sun Lingyue said disapprovingly.

Facing his Junior Sister who hated evil, Chen Wu didn't know what to say.

Chen Hu, sitting not far away, also heard Sun Lingyue's words, but he didn't take them to heart.

This Sun Lingyue was the only daughter of the Sun Family Martial Arts Hall master, Master Sun Changming.

And Master Sun Changming possessed Late-stage Tendon Refining cultivation, which was one small Realm higher than the Fierce Tiger Gang leader, Leader Gao Zhan.

For now, Chen Hu couldn't afford to provoke them.
