Wang Yuehui had already obtained the martial arts manual for 《Qingcheng Heart thod》. He reduced his daily rest ti to three hours. Whenever he left his room, as usual, he first went to the dock to check the accounts, review the day’s shipping operations, and understand the status of missions undertaken by the Inner Disciples.
After finishing all of that and returning to the hall for a al, he headed to the Training Grounds to cultivate.
From a distance, however, he saw the Hall Master sitting cross-legged on the steps of the hall at the Training Grounds, reading.
Yes.
Reading a book.
Wang Yuehui froze for a mont and walked over.
Halfway there, he suddenly sensed that the Hall Master’s aura today was different from before. He slowed his steps, observing more carefully.
How should he describe it?
There seed to be an indescribable montum flowing around the Hall Master. The closer he got, the clearer and more intense it beca.
He glanced at the Inner Disciples practicing in neat unison on the Training Grounds. Today, they were standing a bit farther away from the steps.
Carrying his doubts, Wang Yuehui approached the Hall Master. His pupils contracted.
On the martial arts manual were four bold characters:
《Wudang Sanshou》!
He had heard of it before. It seed to be a Third-Rank martial arts manual.
The Hall Master...
In an instant, everything beca clear. All his confusion was resolved.
At that mont, Su Wangchuan finished the final page of 《Wudang Sanshou》. The manual scattered in the wind and vanished from his hand, transforming into data.
Third-Rank Martial Art 《Wudang Sanshou》: Entry-Level (Not Activated).
“Hall Master, you have broken through?”
Wang Yuehui was now completely certain. His deliberately lowered voice still carried a faint tremor of excitent.
Only then did Su Wangchuan notice Wang Yuehui’s arrival. A faint smile appeared on his face. He did not answer imdiately but rose to his feet.
“Yuehui, you ca at the right ti. Co with .”
Wang Yuehui followed him all the way to the courtyard of his residence.
“Sit.”
Su Wangchuan gestured.
The two of them sat down facing each other.
Wang Yuehui felt slightly uncomfortable at the Hall Master’s sudden politeness and seriousness. He vaguely sensed that sothing important was about to be said.
Su Wangchuan had been waiting for him.
He had already spoken with the other key figures in the hall.
Only Wang Yuehui remained.
Wang Yuehui was the first player under him to break through to beco a First-Rank Martial Artist. However, his position and identity were the most delicate.
He had strength, he was ticulous, and he had a thorough grasp of the hall’s affairs. But he was from Lingji Studio.
That alone ant Wang Yuehui could never take over the hall’s affairs, nor could he be placed in one of the oil-rich positions such as branch helm leader. After all, there were dozens of mbers from Warring States Ga Studio within the hall.
However—
The situation had changed.
Because Bai Yuhui and Hong Kaibao wanted to follow him to Sanhe Commandery, Wang Yuehui could now choose between the branch helm at the dock or the position of escort agency manager.
“At most one month from now, I will leave Huishui County and head to the Caobang in the prefectural capital. When that ti cos, the hall here will be overseen by Elder Lin Xun…”
“You may choose either the dock branch helm leader position or the escort agency manager position.”
The mont these words were spoken, Wang Yuehui, like Bai Yuhui and Hong Kaibao before him, was struck speechless.
“The Hall Master is leaving Huishui County.”
“I do not wish to remain in the Yulong Gang…”
After finally digesting the news, Wang Yuehui imdiately cupped his fists and voiced his thoughts.
“Gang Leader Yang Feiyue of the Yulong Gang can barely protect himself. It is obvious that soone is targeting the Yulong Gang. Once you leave, Hall Master, the situation in the hall will change.”
“I wish to follow you to the prefectural capital.”
Wang Yuehui knew that the true Sea-Stabilizing Pillar of Huishui County was Hall Master Su Wangchuan.
Whether it had been capturing Feng Shaoguang alive, killing the Snake Elder, or shooting down the sect master of the Earthfiend Sect—it had all been Su Wangchuan.
The hall had achieved its current prosperity because Su Wangchuan was here.
Once he left, the Huishui County hall would quickly revert to its forr state.
Su Wangchuan understood Wang Yuehui’s temperant.
In the ga, Wang Yuehui sought only to preserve his life.
In his eyes, the Yulong Gang was being targeted by the Beggar Sect. It was unsafe.
He wanted out.
“…You also want to leave with ?”
“Bai Yuhui and Hong Kaibao want to follow
as well.”
“Captain Zhao Heiniu and Chen Ergou will also head to the prefectural capital with . But as of now, I still do not know what position the Caobang will arrange for .”
“It does not matter.”
Wang Yuehui spoke firmly.
“With your strength, Hall Master, no matter where you go, I believe you will rise quickly. I can wait. Besides, the prefectural capital is safer than the county seat. I have long thought that in the future I should find a place to settle there… Now is the perfect opportunity. I will go with you.”
“Very well.”
A smile appeared on Su Wangchuan’s face.
“Since you have decided, then co with . Once we arrive, as long as I have food to eat, I will not treat you poorly.”
Wang Yuehui was indeed a capable man.
With soone so ticulous handling certain affairs, he would be of great help.
Though that ant taking away nearly all of the hall’s core leadership, leaving only a few full-fledged martial artists for Lin Xun…
“Thank you, Hall Master!”
After confirming Wang Yuehui’s decision, Su Wangchuan said nothing further to anyone else about the matter. It was as though nothing had happened. He devoted himself entirely to cultivating Third-Rank martial arts.
Su Wangchuan: Male (Hunger 59/100)

(Combat Profession: Second-Rank Martial Artist)
Strength 41; Attack 13–14;
Agility 42; Defense 8.2; Speed

Stamina 41; HP 410/410;

(Cultivation thods Folded)
The Third-Rank martial arts he currently possessed were 《Wudang Sanshou》, 《Shaolin Subduing Tiger Fist》, and 《Qingcheng Sword Art》. The remaining two Third-Rank martial arts had not yet been delivered by Captain Bai.
However, Captain Bai had already conveyed through Bai Yuhui that she would hand them over once he reached Sanhe Commandery. The remaining Second-Rank martial arts would also be delivered at that ti.
Su Wangchuan understood Captain Bai’s efforts. She was clearly seizing the ti to cultivate her techniques and push toward the Fourth Rank.
The thought of having a Fourth-Rank Martial Artist as a backer in the prefectural capital in the future left him with no objections.
In any case, he still had five martial arts to cultivate.
The First-Rank 《Snake Fist》 and the Second-Rank 《Snake-Driving Staff Art》 would also require ti.
All five martial arts had already transford into data and entered Entry-Level status, but their experience values could not yet be raised.
Su Wangchuan planned to begin with 《Qingcheng Sword Art》.
Any Second-Rank Martial Artist needed to build up one powerful martial art as his calling card—sothing to rely on while traversing the Jianghu and to intimidate petty criminals.
《Wudang Sanshou》 and 《Shaolin Subduing Tiger Fist》 were both fist techniques. Using bare hands against weapons put him at a considerable disadvantage. At the very least, in terms of sharpness and attack attributes, he would already be inferior.
However, once he began cultivating, Su Wangchuan discovered that 《Qingcheng Sword Art》 was completely different from the 《Wind-Splitting Sword Art》 and 《Swift Sword Art》 he had trained before.
In two words—
Difficult to cultivate.
