From Martial Arts Dungeon to Master of Martial Arts

Changshu Inner City.

Compared to the outer city, the inner city is much cleaner and tidier, and there are also many more people.

He followed the crowd toward the inn in the distance.

From afar, a group of constables dressed in black and red uniforms could be seen patrolling the streets. Each of them had piercing eyes, yet they seemed oblivious to the chaos in the outer city. Their gait was powerful and vigorous, revealing that they were skilled in martial arts and were definitely experts with great strength.

He glanced at it and looked away. It wasn't like no one in the outer city would come to these constables when something happened to them.

But while they call themselves constables, they also have another name: Black and Red Dog. They won't even acknowledge you unless you give them enough bones.

He pulled his clothes tighter and walked quickly to the inn where Mu Yun and the other person were staying.

When the waiter saw Mu Sheng enter and noticed his silk Taoist robe, he immediately greeted him with a beaming smile, "Master Taoist, are you here for a meal or to stay the night?"

"Looking for someone," Mu Sheng said with a smile. "Where do Mr. and Mrs. Mu Yun live?"

"Those two?" The waiter paused slightly, his tone carrying a hint of disdain. Mu Sheng's smile vanished as she replied, "My brother and sister-in-law."

"So you are Master Dao's elder brother and sister-in-law. They are in room number three. I'll take you there." The waiter's tone changed immediately.

Mu Sheng looked down at his clothes and could only say that the clothes were more useful than he was.

He immediately followed the waiter into the corner, where a long corridor stretched out on both sides, with the character "人" (person) and numbers carved on it.

We walked to room number three.

The waiter knocked on the door and called out, "Sir, your younger brother is here to see you!"

The door opened quickly, and Mu Yun stood in the doorway, looking at Mu Sheng and saying, "What brings you here?"

Mu Sheng said to the waiter, "You may leave."

The waiter's smile faltered slightly. Seeing that there wasn't much profit to be made, he quickly draped the towel over himself and turned to leave.

"You're looking down on me!" Mu Yun immediately rebuked, opening the door wide and saying, "Come in and talk."

Mu Sheng entered the room, which was extremely simple, with only a bed and a table, and some hard, dark steamed buns on the table.

Zhou Fanhua sat on the bed, sobbing softly. It was clear that Mu Yun had said something to her that made her cry again.

Hearing someone come in, she only glanced at them, and when she saw it was Mu Sheng, she lowered her head and continued to sob.

Mu Sheng sat down in a chair, took out three taels of silver from his pocket and placed them on the table, saying, "Brother, two taels of silver is for the inn, and one tael is for expenses. You should stay here a little longer. There's still no news of a solution to the demons over there, so it's not advisable to go back for now."

"Take this money back!" Mu Yun frowned immediately. "I still have money here. Didn't I tell you last time?"

"I'm not dead yet. It's none of your business how things go at home."

Last time, Mu Sheng took out three taels of silver, but Mu Yun rebuked him and sent it back.

"Big brother!" Mu Sheng said defiantly to Mu Yun, "Listen to me, I've succeeded."

"What's wrong?" Mu Yun stared wide-eyed at Mu Sheng. He already understood what she meant, but he still wanted to confirm.

"I have completely entered the True Essence Temple's folds," Mu Sheng said solemnly, tugging at his clothes.

"Brother, look at the material of this dress, our family can't afford it."

"It really worked!" Mu Yun was overjoyed.

"It really worked." Mu Sheng laughed.

"Oh dear, little brother, why didn't you tell your older brother that you've succeeded?" Zhou Fanhua immediately wiped away the tears from the corners of her eyes and revealed a bright smile.

After a month, she finally smiled at Mu Sheng.

"I told you, my brother will succeed. You, a mere woman, have been gossiping all along." Mu Yun immediately straightened her back.

"Let's not talk about those unpleasant things. My little brother will be a martial artist in the future." Zhou Fanhua immediately moved on from the topic.

Mu Sheng pushed the money over and said, "Brother, I'll give you three taels of silver every month. You can stay here for now. Once we find a house, I'd like to discuss selling the old house with you."

"How can we sell our ancestral home!" Mu Yun slammed his hand on the table and said, "That's what my parents left us."

"But we can't go back to our ancestral home now, and if we have too much free time, the house might not even be ours anymore." Mu Sheng stated the worst possible outcome directly.

If someone lives there, that's theirs; but if no one lives there, and certain gang members move in, even if there's a land deed, no one can make the decision.

Even if you can get the house back using the land deed, you'll still be charged a sum of money in the end.

He was merely an outer disciple of the Zhenyuan Temple; even if the gang was wary of him, that was all they were wary of.

Mu Yun sighed deeply and said, "Then I'll go back..."

"I can handle this matter. With demons lurking in the outer city, it would be too dangerous for you to go there, but I need your half of the land deed."

"Then how..." Zhou Fanhua was about to say something when Mu Yun glared at her and muttered, "Fine, I'm not going to get involved in your brothers' business."

After hesitating for a long time, Mu Yun finally took out half of a land deed from his pocket and said, "This land deed is for you."

"I will sell the land deed later." Mu Sheng put away the half of the land deed. "You all stay here peacefully. If a place becomes available, I will take you there."

Mu Yun had no doubts, but Zhou Fanhua was still somewhat skeptical. Last time, she hadn't thought Mu Sheng could become a martial artist, but now he had.

She didn't dare say anything more.

"Then I'll head back now."

"Alright, you should also work hard. If you can find a job guarding a wealthy family in the future, we can also enjoy the good life." Mu Yun's face showed a bright smile that he hadn't seen in a long time.

Mu Sheng remained silent for a long time, unsure how to respond.

He had no intention of becoming a mere guard; he had many ideas about the future of martial arts.

Stepping out of the inn, he touched the pocket in his pocket: "I still have twelve taels of silver in my hand."

This also includes the monthly salary given to him by Zhenyuan Temple. Originally, including Wolf Four's money, he would have received fifteen taels.

However, the inn expenses for Mu Yun and his wife amount to six taels of silver per month. Including the meat he needs for martial arts training, it costs about three taels of silver per month. Now, the monthly expenses are as much as nine taels.

"This money, including this month's, can only last for two more months. I have to find some ways to make money." Mu Sheng put down her hand and sighed.

Whether the house can be sold is still a question. Even if it is sold, at the highest price of fifty taels, it can only support the family for half a year. Even with half a year's monthly salary, it can only support the family for seven or eight months.

If he can't find a way to make money, he simply won't be able to hold on.

He looked up at the sky, which had already darkened.

"Time to check out the new dungeon."

There were hardly any people left on the streets, but he could still see patrol teams in the distance. He quickly ran towards Zhenyuan Temple.
