49: Chapter 49 I am the best in the world

[Chu Sheng used the dowry brought by Li Zhiyi to sweep up goods in the surrounding towns.]

[Although they were all Yellow Grade low-quality, their advantage lay in their quantity.]

[Protective jade pendants, light-footwork boots, invisibility cloaks, transmission talismans...]

[Congratulations on achieving the achievement: Treasure King (Blue).]

[Li Zhiyi clicked her tongue: “Husband, are you planning to empty out the Spirit Treasure Pavilion?”]

[Chu Sheng said solemnly: “This is called being prepared for a rainy day. In case our child needs to fight one day, they can't go empty-handed, right?”]

[“We’ve only just gotten married, and you’re already thinking about children...”]

[Chu Sheng smiled and pulled her into his arms: “If not about children, what should I think about? Thinking about how to have a few more?”]

[Li Zhiyi blushed and tapped him, but didn't dodge.]

[At night, the two lay on the bed.]

[“I pray for them to have a high spiritual root, preferably inheriting my swordsmanship talent, and then inheriting your... your...”]

[He stammered.]

[Li Zhiyi blinked: “My what?”]

[Chu Sheng thought for a moment and said seriously: “Your... appetite? No, your liveliness and cheerfulness?”]

[Li Zhiyi was so angry she tapped him: “That’s my only advantage?”]

[Chu Sheng thought about it: “Either is fine. Our son can learn sword arts from me, and our daughter can learn from you... learn what?”]

[“Let’s not discuss what she will learn for now, watch my sword.”]

[...]

[The next day, an uninvited guest came to the Listening to Bamboo Pavilion.]

[Han Li.]

[He stood at the courtyard gate, holding a letter in his hand.]

[“Brother Chu, congratulations on your new marriage!” Han Li cupped his hands, “This Han has come specially to deliver a gift.”]

[Chu Sheng's internal alarm bells rang loudly, “Attendant Han is too polite, please come in.”]

Chu Sheng narrowed his eyes.

This guy was smiling like a weasel wishing a chicken a Happy New Year.

Giving a gift?

It’s probably a death warrant.

[“Brother Chu, seeing that your aptitude is excellent, I have an opportunity I would like to give you.”]

[He handed over the letter, “This is a recommendation letter for the Qinglan Sect. With this letter, you can directly join a lineage of the Qinglan Sect, exempting you from the outer sect assessment.”]

[Chu Sheng took the letter and looked down at it.]

[The letter was stamped with the sect seal of the Qinglan Sect, and the signature was “Hall of Punishments.”]

Not even pretending anymore, huh?

This guy is the nephew of the Second Elder of the Law Enforcement Hall; the recommendation letter he sent must be for the Hall of Punishments.

And after going there?

Join the Second Elder's sect?

Then get manipulated thoroughly?

Chu Sheng sneered: “You intend to trick me into a den of thieves, wanting to manipulate me however you please. Han Li, oh Han Li, do you take me for a fool like yourself?”

[“Attendant Han is kind, and This humble one appreciates the gesture, but This humble one has just gotten married and does not want to leave Qingshi Town for the time being.”]

[Han Li’s smile remained unchanged: “Brother Chu, there is no need to rush to refuse. I have already sounded out the Qinglan Sect; Zhao Mingyang will come to recruit you after a while, and you can go whenever you want.”]

[After speaking, he rose to leave, walking away cleanly.]

[Chu Sheng looked at the letter on the table, his eyes gradually turning cold.]

“Qinglan Sect...”

Chu Sheng stared at the letter and muttered.

“Keep this thing, maybe it will be useful in the future. For example, if one day I want to sneak in and cause trouble, this will be an admission ticket.”

[A month later, Li Zhiyi became pregnant.]

[Chu Sheng was overjoyed, but also vaguely worried.]

[Rather than sitting and waiting for death, it is better to take the initiative.]

Chu Sheng nodded.

That’s right, rather than waiting for people to come to the door, it’s better to strike first.

Anyway, with the demon refining pot in hand, going to the Qinglan Sect is about the same as going to a vegetable market.

[At night, looking at the kettle, he made up his mind.]

[“Wait for me to come back.”]

[He said softly to the sleeping Li Zhiyi, “Child, wait for Dad to come back and teach you sword techniques.”]

[Early the next morning, Chu Sheng left a letter, took a sword, and left Qingshi Town.]

[Deep in the Liuyun Mountain Range, outside the gate of the Qinglan Sect.]

[The sect's great formation flowed faintly, and the gate guards looked vigilant.]

“Third time visiting.”

[Key choice: Which lineage to join?]

[1. Hall of Punishments. Han Li’s uncle is the Second Elder of the Law Enforcement Hall, going there might allow me to extract information, but it could also be walking into a trap.]

[2. Danxia Peak. Elder Zhou’s territory, that great demon is underneath. Enemies meeting are especially envious.]

[3. Sect Masters Lineage. Neutral force, perhaps it can avoid the eyes and ears of all parties, and plot slowly.]

[4. I Am the Best in the World. No one can teach me, I’ll break through on my own!]

Chu Sheng’s eyes lit up: “The main event is here! Which one to choose? Which one to choose?

Hall of Punishments?

That’s a den of thieves, once you go in, you can’t get out.

Danxia Peak?

That snake-hearted woman Elder Zhou is probably plotting against my body again.

Although I now have the Sword Saint entry and the demon refining pot, it’s still too risky to go head-to-head with someone in the True Condensation Realm.

“Sect Masters Lineage... Neutral force, relatively safe. But the Sect Master is high and mighty, and might not pay attention to a new disciple like me.”

“I Am the Best in the World?”

Chu Sheng looked at that option, his mouth twitching.

This option looks like it’s dedicated to causing trouble.

But thinking about it carefully, he now has the Sword Saint entry, and his sword skills are improving by leaps and bounds.

He has the Duobao Heavenly Venerable, and his speed at refining magic treasures is heaven-defying.

He has the demon refining pot, which is specifically designed to restrain demon beasts.

Really speaking, these elders of the Qinglan Sect might not be qualified to teach him anything.

Chu Sheng’s eyes grew brighter and brighter.

That’s right!

Why let others teach me?

But the problem is, if you don’t join a lineage, you can’t even enter the sect’s scripture pavilion, and you can’t get cultivation methods or pill recipes...

“Choose 4.” Chu Sheng made his decision, “I Am the Best in the World, no one can teach me!”

But on second thought, he still needs a place to stay.

Otherwise, he can’t even enter the sect’s scripture pavilion.

He looked at the 3rd option.

“First join the Sect Masters Lineage to get an identity, then I Am the Best in the World.”

Two-pronged approach.

This is called wanting both.

Anyway, the Sect Masters Lineage is the most relaxed, and with the Sword Saint talent, it’s not hard to mix in.

After getting in, he can cultivate on his own, and no one can control him.

After finding the location of that great demon, he will use the demon refining pot to deal with it.

“Perfect plan.”

He thought happily.

After cleaning up the great demon, he will also clean up Han Li’s uncle along the way.

Wipe them all out.

The Qinglan Sect, from top to bottom, doesn’t have many good people, so consider it as removing harm for the people.

[Chu Sheng walked toward the mountain gate and cupped his hands to the guarding disciples: “This humble one is Chu Sheng, seeking to see the receiving deacon of the Sect Masters Lineage.”]

[The guarding disciple looked him over: “Qi Induction Fourth Grade? Do you have a recommendation letter?”]

[Chu Sheng shook his head: “No.”]

[The guarding disciple frowned: “Then what are you here for?”]

[Chu Sheng smiled slightly: “To prove that in your Qinglan Sect, no one can teach me.”]

[Guarding disciple: ???]
