No taboos

Chapter 307 is finally here (asking for monthly tickets)

Xu Yuan listened from the side and understood why Master Fei was not popular in the association.

Crooked seedlings, wasted words...

May I ask if everyone in the Three Fires Old Mu Club back then only addressed each other by their "nicknames"?
Then, people in the martial arts world followed the tradition of your Sanhuo Laomu Society and gave you the nickname "Sanniang Society"?

What Xu Yuan didn’t know was that when Miao Yan’s father had just given birth to his son, he named him “Miao Yan”.

After much discussion, they secretly felt that the name was not well chosen, and often said things like "crooked seedling, rotten eye (inflammation)" behind the name.

Later, as Miao Yan grew up, he stopped saying it.

After all, they are elders.

Miao Yan himself didn't know about this...

Even the younger generations of the Sanniang Society were unaware that Master Fei, who they regarded as "impartial and serious", had such a past.

Master Fei turned and headed to the back hall: "I'll call Miao Yan out first and announce the good news of the Grandmaster's return to everyone..."

Aunt Wang stretched out her hand and her palm flew out to grab Master Fei.

"Don't tell too many people yet."

Master Fei was pulled and couldn't move. He turned around and looked at Aunt Wang, puzzled, "Why?"

Aunt Wang hesitated for a moment, then sighed, "I don't have much time left..."

Aunt Wang had actually thought it through: "You've all worked hard over the years. If the news of my return spreads, those old enemies will all jump out, and I won't be able to protect you for too long. It won't be a good thing for you.

So don’t publicize it.

I will complete the inheritance that I left behind for you.

Your generation has not achieved anything above the seventh-rate level, so you cannot let the children after you never see the hope of achieving anything above the seventh-rate level in their lifetime."

The situation of the Sanniang Society was actually very common in the Ming Dynasty.

Most of the inheritance is actually only the third-rate part.

Many of the small channels outside the seven major gates are not even above the ninth level.

Even among the inheritances of the seven major sects, more than 50% are only of the lowest third-rate level.

As for Dharma practitioners, the proportion is at least 70%.

If you look at it from the perspective of those children from wealthy families, you will not understand those who choose these paths.

What is the point of a spiritual practice whose end can be seen at a glance?

But if we look at it from the perspective of ordinary people, in a world full of evil spirits, they are just fish on the chopping board.

As long as you can gain some ability to protect yourself, who would care about so much?
Of course, I got in without hesitation.

They have no other choice.

In the vast territory of the Ming Dynasty, there are actually many such practitioners who have only entered the doorstep in the countryside. They serve as positions such as village heads and maintain the lowest level of order.

Master Fei was deeply moved: "Your Majesty always thinks about us."

Aunt Wang let go of her hand, and it flew back, waving gently, "As I should. Since I left the Three Fires Old Mother's Association, I should be responsible to the end.

If you had a seventh-rate or higher inheritance, you wouldn't have been bullied by the Pingtian Society all these years."

Aunt Wang is old now, and her mentality is very different from what it was back then.

Back then, he acted on impulse, saved a group of beggars, and set up an organization on a whim.

Then something happened at home, so he left in a hurry.

Shanhe County was isolated and information was not transmitted smoothly. Aunt Wang was bound by Hegong Lane and could no longer go out to "venture out", so she gradually forgot about this matter.

However, there was no further news from the Sanniang Society afterwards.

Master Fei thought for a moment and said, "I'll call Miao Yan over. I previously suspected that Lord Xu was your descendant, and I told him so."

"Ok."

Master Fei went to the back hall and called only Miao Yan.

In the back hall, the members of the Champa Society were waiting anxiously.

Miao Yan was also very tight-lipped. He did not reveal what Master Fei had said to him to any member of the congregation until he had a definite result.

The congregants were worried about whether the two ancestral items could be repaired. Miao Yan was brought before Aunt Wang, and before he could understand what was going on, Master Fei forced him to kowtow three times!

Then Master Fei told Miao Yan about Aunt Wang's identity. Miao Yan thought for a moment that he had misheard and confirmed it several times... Then he felt a thunderclap explode above his head.

Although I was mentally prepared that "Xu Yuan is the descendant of the founder", this is still too fantastic.

The grandma who has been missing for decades is back!

After coming to his senses, Miao Yan leaped up and howled, "Grandma Ancestor, lead the way. I will gather the backbone of the Champa Society and attack the Pingtian Society at night! Destroy them!"

All the territories that Pingtianhui had given up over the years have basically been taken over by Pingtianhui.

The current "peace" between the Sanniang Society and the Pingtian Society is because the Sanniang Society knows that it cannot win.

Now that the Grandmother has returned, what are we afraid of?
Xu Yuan coughed twice.

I'm still here, and you're already clamoring for a fight!
The Pingtian Society was banned in Champa, but they secretly infiltrated again.

Officially, there is no branch of the Pingtian Society in Champa, but the members of the Sanniang Society cannot be concealed.

Master Fei comforted Miao Yan and told him about the arrangements made by the Grandmother.

Miao Yan immediately said, "I'll write a letter to my father right now. If he knew that the Grandmaster had returned, he would be so happy."

Aunt Wang nodded in agreement.

After making all these arrangements, Aunt Wang and Xu Yuan went back to the South City Patrol Office.

Only Master Fei and Miao Yan were left in the front hall. Master Fei's face suddenly darkened. "Send a message tomorrow morning, telling your father not to alert the enemy and to only bring a few old brothers with him. We need to have a good discussion on how to deal with those traitors!"

Miao Yan thought of the great fire master Shen Qingpeng from Pingcheng.

Shen Qingpeng is the most talented among the younger generation of Sanniang Society.

He was already a seventh-rate person ten years ago, and he has many talented people under him.

He often interferes with the decisions of several "advisors".

Even on the day he was promoted to the seventh level, he declared that he would create a sixth-level or higher method for the Sanniang Society.

During the past ten years, he has been seeking out high-level alchemists, hoping to find a way to advance to the sixth level.

Everyone understood that as long as he was promoted to the sixth level, he would be eager to appoint himself the leader of the Sanniang Society.

The older generation like Master Fei always believed that the leader was the founder.

Four years ago, he began to use various excuses to arrange for his subordinates to work in Luocheng and Champa.

Miao Yan has a fire master under his command who is Shen Qingpeng's man.

Miao Yan sold two crafts to Xu Yuan. The guild wanted to remove him from his position, but his father saved him.

Another reason was that several teachers were worried that if Miao Yan was removed, there would be no suitable person to take over, and Champa would eventually fall into the hands of Shen Qingpeng.

……

Xu Yuan didn't care much about the affairs of the Sanniang Society.

Taking advantage of this period of no cases, I plan to concentrate on improving my skills.

It’s time for commercial law to consolidate its legal content.

Thinking of the "treasure" that Zhang Laoya promised him, he couldn't help feeling distressed.

……

In the afternoon, a carriage entered the city from the north gate.

Inside the carriage sat a beautiful woman in her thirties, and five men on horseback guarded the carriage.

I found a rather expensive inn in the north city and settled down there.

These people were very generous and gave the store owner three taels of silver for a dinner and asked him to arrange it.

The beautiful woman finished her dinner in her room and told her men, "Guard the surroundings while I figure out where we need to start."

"Yes, ma'am."

The beautiful woman took out a handful of abacus sticks and sneered to herself, "I need to figure out what kind of monsters and demons are in this Champa. A 1.2 million tael worth of goods disappeared without a trace!"
