Supreme Martial Venerable: Starting with the White Ape Cloak Hammer skill point allocation

Seeing Zhou Yuan's puzzled expression, Chen Liu sneered.

"Playing dumb with Sixth Master?"

Chen Liu's lips curled into a sinister smile. "I've already shown you the right path. If you refuse to take the main road and insist on walking the narrow bridge, then don't blame me for being ruthless!"

Having said that, he turned and walked toward the tents where the overseers slept, cracking his leather whip as he hummed an unpleasant tune.

The moonlight shone on Zhou Yuan's face, illuminating his eyebrows clearly.

A forgotten memory suddenly surfaced in his mind.

"Wife... I really do have one..."

Zhou Yuan's expression turned somewhat strange.

Since transmigrating to this world, he has been constantly fighting wits and courage against the world in order to survive, and he had really forgotten about this matter.

After all, in his original mind, the original owner was a blacksmith who had lost both his parents and was penniless. He could barely support himself, let alone afford to get married.

In fact, the original owner of this body couldn't afford to get married.

However, the original owner of this body did indeed have a fiancée!

More than a decade ago, his father once went into the mountains to chop firewood and unexpectedly saved a merchant who had been robbed by bandits and was injured and fell off a cliff.

To repay his father for saving his life, the merchant betrothed his newborn daughter to Zhou Yuan, who was only two or three years old at the time.

Unexpectedly, the businessman's fortunes changed, and in just over a decade, he went from a down-on-his-luck small businessman to one of the wealthiest merchants in Gaoshan County.

Logically, what should follow is the much-anticipated annulment of the engagement.

In fact, the Zhuo family did have the idea of ​​breaking off the engagement. The original owner of this body had also thought about getting married, but after several visits, she couldn't even get through the Zhuo family's gate.

However, the young lady of the Zhuo family, who was engaged to him, insisted that a good woman should not marry twice. In order to fulfill the engagement, she did not hesitate to run away from home, imitating Hong Fu's elopement.

Zhou Yuan remembered that the girl ran to his house that night, and before he could do anything, he was urgently summoned to perform corvée labor.

Then the original owner was worked to death and was replaced by the current owner.

"I see."

Upon closer reflection, Zhou Yuan seemed to understand something.

No wonder Gao Dazhuang made things difficult for him at every turn, no wonder even Li Lin didn't dare to take him on as an apprentice, no wonder Chen Liu and the other overseers wanted to kill him.

If the Zhuo family used money behind the scenes, then everything makes sense.

He hadn't even touched Zhuo Changyu yet. If he died, Zhuo Changyu would naturally have no choice but to remarry.

"If you directly have someone beat me to death, it will ruin the reputation of the Zhuo family, but if I die while serving corvée labor, it will have nothing to do with the Zhuo family."

"Does one have to pretend to be virtuous while being a prostitute?"

Zhou Yuan sneered inwardly.

He would not betray Zhuo Changyu's deep affection, but he would not let go of those who wanted his life.

Clearly distinguish between gratitude and resentment!

The Zhuo family is wealthy and powerful, but as long as he can pass the martial arts examination, the Zhuo family cannot easily do anything to him.

If he can pass the martial arts examination and become a martial arts graduate, even the Zhuo family will have to show him respect!

"But we still need to figure out how to get through this hurdle first."

Zhou Yuan thought to himself.

If he can't come up with ten taels of silver tomorrow, Chen Liu will definitely take the opportunity to whip him. If he gets injured, the heavy corvée labor will really kill him.

But where is he going to get ten taels of silver?

Are we really going to send Zhuo Changyu back to the Zhuo family to exchange him for money?

Sending Zhuo Changyu back to the Zhuo family and annulling the engagement would not only stop the Zhuo family from targeting him, but also make it easy to get a few dozen taels of silver from them.

But doing that is just too unmanly.

As Zhou Yuan walked into the city, his brows furrowing deeper and deeper.

Even a hero can be brought down by a single penny.

Suddenly, he heard the sound of a tree branch snapping behind him. He instinctively turned around and saw a figure flash and disappear in the woods by the roadside.

Zhou Yuan was startled and instantly came to his senses.

wrong!

Chen Liu's goal wasn't the ten taels of silver!

He told me to go home and raise money, but the city gates were already closed at this hour, and I couldn't get into the city at all!

He was trying to frame himself for desertion!

I was so preoccupied with the Zhuo family's affairs that I completely overlooked this point.

Before he knew it, he had left the riverbank and was already two or three miles away from where the laborers were resting.

Being so far from the camp, what else could it be but running away?

And since we're so far away, no one would hear anything if there were any noise.

Zhou Yuan was secretly annoyed. In his previous life, he had been involved in many scheming and intrigue, but now he had been tricked by such a crude trick.

Fortunately, there is still a chance to salvage the situation!

He looked around, quickly grabbed a handful of sand with his left hand, and picked up a fist-sized stone with his right.

"Sixth Master, I see you. Stop hiding and come out."

Zhou Yuan raised his voice.

"You're quite clever, kid, but unfortunately you're going to die tonight."

Don't blame Sixth Master, who told you your life was only worth fifty taels of silver?

Chen Liu emerged from behind the tree, a mocking smile on his face, like a cat catching a mouse.

"Sixth Master, do I really have no chance?"

"If I give you fifty taels of silver, will you let me go?"

Zhou Yuan said.

"You're giving me fifty taels of silver? Haha, Zhou Yuan, you don't actually think you're the Zhuo family's son-in-law, do you?"

You don't have a single hair on your body, where are you going to get fifty taels of silver?

Chen Liu laughed loudly, "Kid, accept your fate. I, Sixth Master, will give you a quick death."

The thought that killing Zhou Yuan would not only get him silver but also allow him to curry favor with Gao Dazhuang made him even happier.

suddenly.

He saw Zhou Yuan suddenly raise his hand, and Chen Liu's hair stood on end. He instinctively tried to dodge, but it was too late.

A handful of sand was suddenly thrown at his face, some of it even getting into his eyes.

His vision blurred, tears streamed down his face uncontrollably, and everything became indistinct.

boom!

Just then, a rock slammed into Chen Liu's forehead.

Chen Liu's eyes bulged out, and his whole body froze for a moment.

Zhou Yuan's mind went blank after his sneak attack, and he instinctively unleashed a series of combos.

Using his fists instead of hammers, with a stone in his right hand, he smashed countless punches into Chen Liu in the blink of an eye.

The sound of bones breaking echoed in the air. Chen Liu's body was smashed like a rag doll, flying three or four meters before crashing heavily to the ground.

"Hehe—"

Chen Liu's body convulsed, making unpleasant sounds in his throat, and blood kept gushing from his forehead, the corners of his mouth, and his chest.

Zhou Yuan was panting heavily, looking as if he had just been pulled out of the water, his clothes soaked with sweat.

In just a few breaths, it felt like he had run 10,000 meters, and he had exhausted most of his strength.

"call--"

Zhou Yuan exhaled and glanced at the blood-stained stone in his hand.

He walked up to Chen Liu, squatted down, raised his hand, and slammed it down.

boom! boom! boom!

Chen Liu's face was smashed so badly that even his parents wouldn't recognize him.

Zhou Yuan did not stop, kicking Chen Liu's vital points several times with firm and decisive movements, showing no mercy whatsoever.

He only stopped moving after confirming that Chen Liu was definitely dead, and then quickly took all of Chen Liu's valuables.

After doing all this, he dragged Chen Liu's body to the riverbank and threw it into the rolling river.
