Water elemental became a god, ultimately becoming the master of heaven, earth, mountains, and rivers

Chapter 43 You are not allowed to mention my Li family name.
If Chen Shunan was only a third-rate cultivator before, even though he was the son-in-law of the Zhang family and had done a favor for the Li family.

In Master Li's mind, she was nothing more than an object that could be 'used'.

They were attracted to Chen Shunan's background, not the person himself.

After all, the Great Holy Dynasty is full of martial virtue, and in the end, everything depends on strength.

Even his wife and children are the same.

Now, Chen Shunan has risen to the second tier, although most of his potential has been exhausted and his physical constitution is set, making it impossible for him to become a first-tier player.

but……

After all, he was a master of jade-like strength and a master of wearing precious robes, capable of splitting rocks and breaking monuments, possessing considerable destructive power.

They could barely catch the eye of Master Li.

He looks like a person now.

"There is great terror between life and death, but Chen Shunan has actually benefited from this misfortune..."

Master Li believed that Chen Shunan's breakthrough was related to his accidental fall into the well.

"Ok."

After a moment's thought, Mr. Li softened his tone and agreed.

"But you must not spread this matter in the future, and when you use the Entangling Silk Hand technique, you must not mention my Li family."

After saying this, Master Li leaned back in his armchair, closed his eyes, and looked exhausted.

Chen Shunan noticed that Li Shicheng addressed him as "you" instead of "Brother Shunan".

There was a slight distance, but it wasn't obvious; we maintained a respectable distance.

This incident has undoubtedly damaged our past relationship to some extent.

"Thank you, Brother Shicheng."

Chen Shunan paused for a moment, then clasped his hands in a respectful greeting.

……

After leaving the Li residence, we first returned to Weiheng Street to fill the waterwheel.

Chen Shunan then rushed to Yinding Street without stopping.

He made an appointment with Master Li to teach martial arts at the Li residence every two days at dusk.

The main issue is that the practice of the "Golden Snake Entangling Silk Hand" actually has time requirements.

The sun rises at mid-morning, around the time of Si (9-11 AM), when the yang energy is rising.

The stars rise in the east, and the yin energy gradually emerges at the hour of Xu (7-9 PM).

Whether by coincidence or not, it happens to coincide with the time when most snakes are active.

While Yi Yan was not the true successor, he was even better than the true successor, and he ate and dressed in the mansion.

Li Shicheng and his companion would examine his bones and tendons daily, apply medicine, and bathe him, and he could consult them for answers to his questions at any time.

This treatment was naturally far beyond what that old geezer Chen Shunan could receive.

Chen Shunan also found that his time seemed to be becoming increasingly tight.

Fortunately, the arduous task of delivering water was nothing to Chen Shunan, even though it was a heavy and tiring task for the other three water carriers.

Therefore, he still has energy to spare.

I'm a bit busy, so I have to reduce the time I spend listening to storytelling at the teahouse every day.

At noon, we had lunch at Erhunpu.

Chen Shunan and the other three water spirits sought refuge in the shade of an alley in Weiheng Street.

Liu Daoba carried his load and pushed his cart back into the alley, intending to practice his boxing for a while longer.

But seeing that the weather was unbearably hot and that all his colleagues were taking a nap, he had no choice but to suppress his high enthusiasm for martial arts practice.

Perhaps because he had given up on women, Liu the Scarface was full of energy and had a clear mind every day.

My back doesn't ache anymore, and my legs aren't weak anymore, but my ears hurt several times a day.

Ahua and a few young men, hiding under the well's edge, were fast asleep, enjoying the cool air of the well water.

Being young is great; you can lie down anywhere, however you like.

Chen Shunan puffed on his pipe, squinting at the sweltering air outside the alley, gradually letting go of his fatigue and feeling relaxed and refreshed.

Just then, the sound of "geji geji" being carried in a sedan chair came from behind.

Upon hearing the sound, Chen Shunan looked over and saw a large sedan chair with a bronze roof placed at the entrance of the alley.

The sedan chair had a blue curtain and was carried by two tall and strong sedan chair bearers.

At this moment, the sedan curtain was slightly lifted, and the sedan bearers quickly lowered the elm wood sedan bench.

It's incredibly impressive.

Many people noticed the commotion and immediately stood up, looking at the person in the sedan chair with surprise and uncertainty.

What distinguished guest has come to this well at this hour?
Liu Daoba and the others also looked solemn.

Then, they saw a familiar figure stepping down from the sedan chair.

"Thank you for your kindness, Master Ma, who even made a special trip to pick me up. I'll take my leave now, San Dezi."

"Not at all, brother, take your time. We'll meet again in a few days!" He looked at the person getting out of the sedan chair.

Everyone was stunned.

San Dezi?
What kind of strange behavior is this in broad daylight!
Why is this guy riding in a sedan chair, with Ma Jiaozhu accompanying him?
Many people know Ma Jiaozhu; he is the owner of Baoquan Ice Cellar and contracted to build the largest commercial ice cellar in Wuqing County!

He has close ties with Shuiwozi in Wuqing County and has long-standing relationships with several owners.

Today, San Dezi was dressed quite smartly, wearing a long gown with rolled-up sleeves, thin trousers, and cloth shoes with bound feet.

They don't seem to mind the heat, and I wonder who they learned it from.

San Dezi stood at the alley entrance and watched the sedan chair depart.

Then he turned around, winked, and swaggered toward everyone.

"San Dezi, you've struck it rich, haven't you?"

"This is outrageous! San Dezi, you shouldn't be delivering water anymore. You're wasting your reputation. Go become a powerful businessman and mentor your brothers in the future!"

"I have some herbal tea here, San Dezi, have a sip..."

Everyone crowded around.

Cicadas chirped in the summer, their calls echoing through the sparse trees lining the alley.

The weather is hot and dry, and so are people's hearts.

Chen Shunan didn't get closer; he sat there and watched the scene with a smile.

He knew that it was San Dezi's plan to use the Qianning Kingdom's delegation to visit the emperor and make iced drinks that had made promising progress.

It's likely that they've already secured investment and established close ties with high-society circles like the owner of the Ma family's estate.

Chen Shunan exhaled a puff of smoke, blew away the ash, and stood up.

After cleaning the cigarette holder with the sole of his shoe, Chen Shunan scooped up water, loaded it onto the truck, and went to deliver it.

When you're poor in the mountains, nobody cares; when you're rich deep in the mountains, even distant relatives come to visit.

San Dezi has too many relatives now, so Chen Shunan doesn't need to squeeze in.

Let's leave some rice for San Dezi.

……

Upon arriving at the side gate of the Li residence, Chen Shunan, covered in dust from his journey, didn't even have time to change into a bright, open-fronted robe.

It stands out from the ancient alleyways with their green bricks and red walls.

When the gatekeepers, Ah Da and Ah Er, saw Chen Shun'an, they immediately abandoned their usual laziness and disrespect and came to greet him.

"Brother Chen is here?"

"Brother Chen, I heard you love listening to storytelling. Let's go to the teahouse tomorrow and order some 'Little Eight Treasures' and 'The Seven Heroes and Six Gallants: Good and Evil'! It's on me!"

The two of them talked as they walked.

Ah Da walked down the steps and greeted us personally at the stone lions at the entrance.

Ah Er pushed the side door open completely, his back slightly bent, his face full of smiles.

Chen Shunan was stunned for a moment, then suddenly realized what was happening.

It seems that the two of them already knew that they were only second-rate martial artists.

Chen Shunan had previously thought these two were tough guys who didn't flatter the powerful and wealthy, but it turns out they can bend over backwards too!

"You two brothers, you're being too kind! It's so unpleasant!"

Chen Shunan imitated the tone of a bandit hero in a storytelling performance, exchanging a few jokes with the two.

Ah Da and Ah Er breathed a sigh of relief upon seeing Chen Shunan's reaction.

They entered the Li residence.

Li Shicheng and Butler Zhao were both in the front yard.

He handed over two hundred taels of silver to Li Shicheng.

Li Shicheng's expression suddenly improved.

Indeed, passing on family secrets is not a matter of money.

But nothing can be accomplished without money.

"Head butler, it's all up to you now." Li Shicheng clapped his hands.

After giving Yi Yan a few words of admonishment, Steward Zhao stood in the courtyard and glanced at Chen Shunan with a rather complicated expression.

As the saying goes, fists and feet have no eyes, and a strict teacher produces outstanding students.

When teaching martial arts and moral principles, how can one avoid corporal punishment?

Clearly, Steward Zhao was somewhat hesitant to approach Chen Shunan, this "older apprentice."

It was difficult to hit him, and it was also difficult to scold him. Butler Zhao was afraid that Chen Shunan would lose his temper and turn against him.

After all, everyone is now a martial artist of the same realm, so Steward Zhao will have to put in a lot more effort to capture Chen Shunan.

However, Old Chen has always been steady and reliable, so it's unlikely he would do something like that.

I'll teach you then.
