Becoming a saint begins with apprenticing under the last martial arts champion.

At the dock.

Crowded.

Everyone saw that Sun Quan was pulled into the water by something.

For a moment, everyone was stunned.

Sun Quan's men reacted faster.

The two henchmen rushed to the shore.

"Brother Sun!"

"Brother Sun—!"

But their shouts had no effect.

The river surface remained calm and still, except for the splashes that occurred when Sun Quan fell in. There was no sign of anything amiss.

The two looked at each other, their expressions showing lingering fear, and then quickly retreated several steps, moving away from the river.

At this point, the scene erupted in chaos.

"A demon fish! It must be a demon fish!"

"Sun Quan is dead?! Was Sun Quan eaten by a demonic fish?"

"Are there more monster fish in the river? If so, then it's better if they don't go into the water; that would be a good thing."

"Thank goodness!...I mean, thank goodness we're not in the water right now! Otherwise, that monster fish would probably have eaten us!"

"..."

"..."

The one who said this was Liu Shitou.

After being quickly pulled back by Lao Chen twice, he hurriedly changed his tune.

At this moment, Lu Changqing, completely naked, spoke up from behind the group: "There are even demon fish..."

When Zhou San, Lao Chen and the other four heard Lu Changqing's words, they all turned around and laughed at each other.

"Yeah! I didn't expect that after you killed one, there would be another!"

"This can be considered a blessing in disguise!"

"That demonic fish... it's really amazing! It can even control water!"

Liu Shitou lowered his voice, "Hehe, although I think the demon fish is despicable, today, I actually think it killed it beautifully!"

Old Chen clicked his tongue, his brows furrowing involuntarily: "When you're out there, stop spouting this nonsense!"

"The Grand Canal Gang is not someone you or I can afford to mess with! If they sneak into your house in the middle of the night and stab you twice, even the King of Heaven himself can't save you!"

Upon hearing this, Liu Shitou immediately fell silent, but his expression clearly betrayed his displeasure.

He still felt the same way he did with words...

Lu Changqing watched the discussion with a smile, simply enjoying the spectacle.

When he went into the water, he used water control techniques to prevent his clothes and hair from getting wet.

Then he quickly reappeared.

It's all for the purpose of creating an alibi.

Perhaps he's too sensitive, or perhaps he's overly cautious...

In short, he felt that caution was always the best policy.

...

...

An incident that had briefly thrown the village port into chaos has stirred up further turmoil.

The instigator, Lu Changqing, turned back towards Pig Cage Village.

good...

The resources of these three training sessions are indeed substantial!

He had five hundred silver dollars on him, not to mention a pistol...

This thing is extremely rare, almost 99% of the time, and very difficult to obtain.

To buy such a fine foreign gun on the black market would probably cost several hundred dollars.

Lu Changqing recalled the underwater attack he had just launched...

He is now certain.

One's own attacks, if they land on a master of the third level, can cause serious injury or even kill them instantly.

Nine points of attack power is quite authoritative.

Even disregarding the underwater factor, Lu Changqing could guarantee that even if he couldn't defeat Sanlian, he could easily escape.

Martial arts training is still necessary!

With this thought in mind, he couldn't help but let out a soft sigh.

Although another windfall came into the account.

But this is not a long-term solution.

You can't just kill or rob people when you're broke, can you?

As the saying goes, if you walk by the river long enough, you're bound to get your shoes wet.

This stuff is high risk, high reward... It's okay once or twice, but if you do it too often, something bad will definitely happen.

It cannot be used as a long-term foundation for martial arts training...

But fishing is such a simple and lucrative job... I reckon the Wang family won't be able to negotiate it down.

As Lu Changqing thought of this, he remembered what Wang Shouyin had told him back then... "I'll find you an easy job that pays well."

"I wonder if Uncle Wang was just being polite."

...

...

Time flies.

The past five days.

During this period, Lu Changqing's life remained unchanged.

Because there is no need to fish.

He also devoted all his time after 4 p.m. every day to cultivation.

It was fulfilling, but I also felt somewhat unhappy because there was no money coming in.

Now, he's making money by doing homework, which is far too slow... but better than nothing.

Lu Changqing let out a long breath.

If he waited a few more days and still didn't hear anything, he would shamelessly ask Xiao Hao for help again.

Just then, he suddenly heard a commotion coming from Pig Cage Village outside the courtyard.

And then there was the sound of car horns...

Upon hearing this, Lu Changqing raised an eyebrow slightly.

Pig Cage Alley was located further west of the city, in this impoverished area where there were hardly any rickshaws...

As he was thinking this, he heard a knock on the door.

"Knock knock knock".

"Evergreen!"

It was Wang Hao's voice.

Lu Changqing was very surprised, but he still quickly stepped forward and opened the courtyard gate.

Outside the courtyard, Wang Hao, dressed in a suit, stood upright.

Behind her was Wang Fanghua, with her hair tied in a high ponytail and wearing a tight-fitting outfit that made her waist look very slim, but her curves were full in all the right places.

Beside the two was Uncle Xing, dressed as a servant.

Behind Uncle Xing were two men carrying various items.

Looking further out, one sees numerous indigenous residents of the walled city constantly peering out, eager to see what's going on.

Lu Changqing was taken aback when he saw the two of them, then quickly stepped aside, "Xiao Hao, sister, Uncle Xing..."

"Why are you here?"

"Fast forward, fast forward!"

Wang Hao smiled and said, "We haven't even thanked Changqing for saving our lives the other day!"

"That's what I came here for today!"

As they spoke, the group entered the courtyard.

As Lu Changqing was about to close the door, he saw the landlady, with her frizzy hair, a cigarette always dangling from her mouth, and a masculine appearance, staring at him with a strange look...

Although he is no longer able to live in Pig Cage Alley.

But he knew firsthand that the landlady had a sharp tongue but a kind heart.

Besides, we're still on someone else's turf.

He greeted her with a smile, "Landlady."

"They're all my friends..."

"Park the car at the entrance of the village first, you see..."

As the landlady spoke, the cigarette butt she was holding trembled, and ash fell from it: "Don't occupy it for too long."

After saying that, she turned and left, scolding the onlookers, "What are you looking at!"

"Nothing to do?"

"They have powerful and influential people supporting them, so why aren't you all getting to work? When are you going to pay me back the rent you owe me last month?!"

"..."

Lu Changqing stopped paying attention to the outside environment and closed the courtyard gate directly.

...

...

The three-story house was fairly well-lit.

The landlady took a deep drag on her cigarette, exhaled white smoke, and said to the skinny man beside her, "I thought they were from the Axe Gang."

"The result is the Wang family."

"Honey, how much longer do you think our village can remain peaceful?"

Upon seeing the gleaming black rickshaw and realizing it wasn't the Axe Gang, the man immediately picked up his wine jug, took a swig, and began to burp drunkenly.

"Whatever... I'll just take it one day at a time..."

With that, he turned and walked toward the bed.

Just as he turned around, the landlady saw the red lipstick mark on his cheek, and immediately glared at him angrily, clenching her fist the size of a sandbag and smashing it down on him.

"Still flirting around!"
