Evil of all ages

Chapter 100: Another one has passed away.

"What blessing?"

Huang Taichu sat down, pretending not to know what his younger siblings meant by bestowing blessings.

Huang Yu'er felt that her eldest brother definitely knew more than they did, so she gave her third brother a look, asking him to explain.

"Big brother, my sister can dream about the future, and my martial arts skills have improved by leaps and bounds..."

Huang Yunyou tirelessly recounted the extraordinary events that happened to him and his sister, suspecting that it was a blessing bestowed upon them by their father and second uncle.

"So this is what you mean by bestowing blessings."

Upon hearing this, Huang Taichu suddenly realized what was going on and indicated that he understood.

"Brother, what is your blessing?"

Seeing that his elder brother understood, Huang Yunyou couldn't wait to ask.

"I have not received any blessings."

Huang Taichu said calmly.

"Impossible. Father and Second Uncle were absolutely fair. Both of us should have received it. Logically speaking, all four of us siblings should have received it."

Huang Yunyou didn't believe his elder brother hadn't.

“Brother, you said Father appeared to you in a dream and told you that I am the chosen one. Given how much you have changed, I don’t believe you at all that you’ve not received a blessing.”

Huang Yu'er also expressed disbelief.

"Does my father appearing in my dream count? If not, I don't think I'm anything special."

Huang Taichu said that he was nothing special.

Huang Yunyou: "How many times a month does your second uncle appear in your dreams, brother?"

Huang Taichu: "How many times a month? What are you thinking? My father has only appeared in my dreams two or three times in total since he died."

Huang Yu'er: "Only two or three times?"

"Is there anything different about dreams? For example, did Father teach you, elder brother, how to control the power of ghosts and spirits, or how to manipulate little ghosts in the dream?"

Huang Taichu: "No, my father only told me to mind my own business and that I should walk my own path."

"They also told me that I was absolutely safe in the prison, and that was all."

Huang Yu'er didn't believe it: "That's all?"

Huang Taichu: That's all.

Huang Yunyou and Huang Yu'er exchanged a glance, both feeling that their elder brother wasn't telling the truth.

However, hearing that his elder brother said he was absolutely safe in the prison was enough.

"Brother, I'll register as a ghostwriter first thing tomorrow morning, and then leave the capital to gain experience."

Huang Yunyou told him what he wanted to experience.

Huang Yu'er gave Huang Taichu a hard look, asking her eldest brother to help persuade him not to let her third brother act as a scapegoat.

"Pay more attention to safety"

Huang Taichu chose to ignore his sister's gaze and said calmly.

This made Huang Yu'er pout in dissatisfaction; no matter which brother it was, he wouldn't listen to her advice.

The eldest brother died and could not get married.

My second brother insisted on joining the army in order to make a name for himself.

The third brother, seeking revenge for his father, insisted on becoming the executioner.

None of them are easy to deal with.

"Third Brother, when you're a ghostwriter, you must be realistic about your abilities. When choosing a mission, make sure to pick a wanted criminal who is one level weaker than you."

"If you encounter other wanted criminals during the mission, please ignore them."

"When you're out in the world, don't flaunt your wealth, and don't trust anyone."

"Especially those who are overly friendly, they approach you with a purpose. Either they want you to do things for them, or they want something from you."

"Also, don't meddle in other people's business. Once you enter the martial arts world, you'll definitely see a lot of injustices."

"These kinds of things are impossible to manage or control, so don't make trouble for yourself."

"What people in the martial arts world love most is fame, fortune, and beautiful women."

"Especially when it comes to beautiful women, countless heroes have failed to overcome that hurdle. I'm afraid that you, Third Brother, are young and impetuous, might..."

Unable to persuade her otherwise, Huang Yu'er began to share her experience.

Huang Yunyou felt a little strange seeing his younger sister, who was so precocious, imparting her experience to him.

However, he knew his sister meant well, so he listened attentively and tried his best to remember everything she said.

After talking for a long time, Huang Yu'er got thirsty and drank a cup of tea to quench her thirst.

“Brother, although you are not a member of the martial arts world, there are quite a few martial arts people imprisoned in the Heavenly Prison. Through those martial arts people, you should know how dangerous the martial arts world is.”

"Let me say a few words and remind Third Brother."

Huang Yu'er looked at her older brother, who was only focused on eating, hoping he would say something.

"What's there to say? People can't teach you everything, but you can teach someone something once."

"Once he's been beaten enough, he'll understand everything."

Huang Taichu said casually.

Hearing their elder brother say such heartless things, Huang Yunyou and Huang Yu'er were speechless. "You two take your time eating and chatting. I'll come to see you off when you leave the city tomorrow."

Huang Taichu left as soon as he finished eating, just like an irresponsible older brother.

After seeing her eldest brother leave, Huang Yu'er turned her gaze away and continued to tell her third brother what to be careful about when venturing into the world.

After finishing this, Huang Yu'er inquired about where her third brother would go as a ghostwriter for the first time, and about all his plans.

Once you find out the details, you can send someone to find your third brother and secretly protect him after he joins the White Lotus Sect.

The next day

Huang Yunyou went to the Zhenwu Division to register as a swordsman.

There are five levels of ghostwriters.
Trainee ghostwriter

Iron-plated ghostwriter

Bronze Medal Ghost Craftsman

Silver Medal Ghost Writer

Gold Medal Ghostwriter

If you can handle three or five ordinary people with your bare hands, you can register as a trainee ghostwriter.

The internship... was actually just doing odd jobs.

The Iron-plated Swordsman corresponds to a first-rate martial artist and a third-rate martial artist.

The bronze medal holders correspond to second-rate and first-rate martial artists.

The silver-medal swordsman corresponds to an acquired martial artist.

The "Gold Medal Swordsman" corresponds to a "Primordial Martial Artist".

In addition to the bounty, there are also points awarded for capturing wanted criminals.

Points can be used to exchange for resources and martial arts manuals with the Zhenwu Division. Most importantly, points are required for promotion.

For example, if you are a top-tier ghostwriter, and you have moved from third-rate to second-rate, it doesn't mean you can become a bronze-tier ghostwriter.

You have the ability, but you haven't accumulated enough points to get promoted.

Both strength and points must meet the standard.

The same applies to bronze-level ghostwriters being promoted to silver-level ghostwriters.

The only exception is the top ghostwriter.

Anyone who breaks through to the Innate Realm, or whose Innate Realm expert registers as a ghostwriter, will become a Gold-Level Ghostwriter in one step.

Because grandmasters are not appearing, innate experts are not necessarily regional overlords, but each one is a figure renowned throughout the martial arts world.

Whether they establish their own schools or become worshippers, it's far better than being ghostwriters.

After all, ghostwriters are people who lick blood off the edge of a knife.

For a master of innate strength to lower himself to become a ghostwriter is an honor for the ghostwriter profession.

The Ghost Slayers organization is not a formal institution; it exists under the jurisdiction of the Zhenwu Division, and at most, it is a secondary institution under the Zhenwu Division.

The Zhenwu Division is short of innate experts, but innate experts are going to act as sword-wielders. Naturally, the Zhenwu Division will not allow innate experts to be wronged.

Registering as a ghostwriter and becoming a top-tier ghostwriter in one step is a benefit offered by the Zhenwu Division to innate experts.

Huang Yunyou remembered his sister's words: one should learn to conceal one's abilities, especially in the martial arts world, and never let anyone know one's true strength.

One should conceal as much of their true strength as possible, and generally, the strength displayed is a level lower than the actual strength.

To be even more cautious, two levels lower, is even safer.

Huang Yunyou was not Lao Liu, and he did not pretend to be an ordinary person or play the fool. Playing the fool would only make him feel ashamed. He showed the appearance of someone who had just become a first-class martial artist.

Because Huang Yunyou had a clean background, he was able to register successfully in no time.

However, he was a newcomer and had no points, so he could only become a trainee ghostwriter.

Once he has enough points, he will naturally be promoted to Iron-level Ghost Writer.

After registering as a ghostwriter, he returned to the Huang residence to retrieve his luggage and found his older brother and younger sister waiting for him.

Old Fu prepared the carriage, and the three siblings got on and headed towards the city gate.

On the carriage, Huang Yu'er gave even more instructions, and Huang Yunyou listened attentively without showing any impatience.

After a long while, the carriage left the city gate, and the three siblings got off the carriage. Old Fu led a fine horse from the back of the carriage.

Huang Yunyou then mounted the horse.

"Big brother, Yu'er, take care!"

Huang Yunyou clasped his hands in greeting.

Huang Taichu: "Yes, remember to write back."

Huang Yu'er: "Third brother, be careful in everything you do. Don't be reckless. If you have to back down, then back down."

Huang Yunyou: "Understood"

After the farewell, Huang Yunyou rode his horse and disappeared into the horizon.

Another one has left.

Huang Taichu muttered to himself, feeling neither joy nor sorrow.
