Gao Wu: Starting with playing the Flying Bat Ke Zhen'e

At the dinner table, Tang Luo propped his head up, lost in deep thought.

He currently has three unfinished tasks. One is his cultivation of his physical body. After witnessing Chen Luanping's profound knowledge, Tang Luo is even more eager for the "Great Yin-Yang Harmony Foundation Diagram." After all, no matter how you look at it, Chen Luanping's method of opening the mind should not be as good as the "Great Yin-Yang Harmony Foundation Diagram."

The second thing was to find an opportunity to deal with the second son of Prince Duan, firstly to keep Zhang He, this peerless genius, and secondly to vent my anger.

The third thing is to "act chivalrously," or more precisely, to "change the fate of others," and to seize the "source point" through this method so that the cheat can continue to work.

It's hard to say which of the three things should be done in order of priority, so it's best to do them simultaneously.

The latter two of these three things, in particular, can be greatly enhanced by the fact that the eldest son of the Prince of Duan is a guest advisor!

As one of only two sons of Prince Duan who could compete for the title of Prince of the County, there is no doubt that the eldest prince must possess a great deal of information about the second prince, because he is his only rival.

As the true ruler of Dongling City, the eldest son of the Prince of Duan, being the most likely successor to the Prince of Duan, would find it easier to become his retainer and don his coat of arms once he became his advisor. Whether it was 'changing the fate of others' or continuing to 'uphold justice' to seize the source points, having this coat of arms would make things much easier.

Furthermore, this identity is not entirely without benefit to the cultivation of the original body; it will provide some assistance, more or less.

The problem is, he can't truly pledge allegiance to Qin Chen; he's just playing the role of the "Blood Saber Ancestor." Once the time is up, he'll be exposed for who he really is.

With this thought in mind, Tang Luo sighed inwardly.

After pondering for a while, Tang Luo looked at Qin Chen with a troubled expression: "Your Highness, to be honest, I am only here for a short visit to see the local customs and earn some money. When the time comes, I will have to return to the sect to report back."

At this moment, Qin Chen could only sigh. What could he say? The reasons given were quite reasonable. He couldn't very well say, "Don't go back, come work for me." He could talk to young people and promise them a dream of breaking through to the Innate Realm, but this man was too old.

"but......"

Hmm? Seeing Tang Luo's sudden change in tone, the others were also curious about what room for maneuver Tang Luo's words might have.

"If Your Highness does not mind, I would be happy to serve you for the next ten days. Alternatively, after I have settled the affairs within the sect, I may come to assist Your Highness again."

Upon hearing this, Wang Yuande and Chen Luanping did not show much change on their faces, and felt that he was nothing special.

Ultimately, ten days is too short a time. What use would they have for ten days?

But Qin Chen's face lit up with joy upon hearing this, and he even felt as if the heavens were helping him.

Ultimately, he doesn't lack the combat power of a Spirit Seed Realm expert.

Unless this Blood Saber Monk is more than thirty years younger and has a chance to break through to the Innate Realm, or is already an Innate Realm cultivator, he might not be taken seriously.

After all, even those who have just entered the Innate Realm can already form an army by themselves and fight against ten thousand enemies. Those who have not reached this realm cannot even hope to break through the defenses. It has real strategic value.

Otherwise, while it may be strong, it is not irreplaceable.

What he needs is the Blood Saber Monk's skill, his control over the rhythm of battle, and the tactical thinking that can only be honed in actual combat.

As for learning, it doesn't take very long; even though ten days is short, he can absorb about 40-50% of it.

Therefore, upon hearing this, Qin Chen immediately pulled up Tang Luo's monk's robe and said with a smile, "Then I will trouble you to guide me for the next ten days, Master!"

Huh? Tang Luo was taken aback when he saw Qin Chen's suddenly beaming face. He had thought he had no chance. In the end, he was just unwilling to give up and was only trying his best.

But thinking about it, it's obvious who would want to take on an old man whose usage period is only ten days? Otherwise, he wouldn't have said what he said later.

But to my surprise, Qin Chen was quite magnanimous and bold; I just don't know if he was faking it or if it was genuine.

But given Qin Chen's actions, the guests and hosts alike enjoyed themselves to the fullest.

Immediately following this were the specific rewards for their effectiveness and the actual work content.

After hearing Qin Chen's request, Tang Luo suddenly understood.

"Qin Chen has a really sharp eye!"

At this moment, Tang Luo looked at Qin Chen, a burly man who looked like a roughneck, at the dinner table, and in his heart, he thought more highly of him.

Because he truly grasped the most powerful and precious ability of the [Blood Blade Ancestor]—combat talent.

Throughout the entire novel *A Deadly Secret*, is the Blood Saber Ancestor truly stronger than the Four Heroes of the South based solely on his theoretical strength?

Let alone one against four, even in a one-on-one situation, based solely on paper strength, the Blood Blade Ancestor had absolutely no chance of winning, yet he still won, and it was a one-against-four victory.

In this battle, timing, location, and popular support are all indispensable. However, timing is hard to come by, location is not something to be sought after, and popular support is something that can be controlled by oneself.

In this regard, if [Blood Saber Ancestor] is second, then there is hardly anyone in the entire Jin Yong novels who can claim to be first.

Tang Luo had no objection to this.

But after Qin Chen made his request, Tang Luo also looked at Qin Chen and stated his own desired reward.

"I wish to borrow as many books as I can from the Prince Duan's collection.

Tang Luo gazed intently at Qin Chen, but a sense of unease lingered in his heart.

He was still short of money, but Tang Luo understood even more clearly that some things money couldn't buy.

Knowledge is something like that.

Having escaped the mountains through education in his previous life, Tang Luo understands the importance of knowledge better than anyone else.

Especially in this ancient feudal society, there is a habit of cherishing one's own possessions.

Putting aside everything else, just the cultivation techniques he just read in the Wang family's library would cost an unknown amount of silver to buy in the outside world.

And this is just the Wang family's library. Although the Wang family is not bad in the Eastern Mausoleum, it is incomparable to the behemoth that is the Duan Prince's Mansion.

Moreover, he had another purpose in borrowing the books—to understand the world.

To my shame, the original owner of this body has been here for more than ten years. He has awakened his innate wisdom and obtained a cheat code for half a month, but he is still completely clueless about this world.

All he knew was that he was in Dongling City, Yunjing County, Nanming Prefecture, Ye Kingdom, and that there were several realms of cultivation. After that, he knew nothing else.

Local customs and traditions, how many powerful forces are there? What lies outside the city? We know nothing.

He needs to find an opportunity to fill in the gaps in his knowledge.

Upon hearing this, even Qin Chen felt a little resentful.

"This Blood-Blooded Monk is really asking for an exorbitant price."

But he also understood that asking for an exorbitant price and then settling for a lower one is the rule for anything involving interests.

"But, it turns out they want the right to access the library's collection?"

Qin Chen looked at the old monk with gray hair and beard, and felt a sense of admiration in his heart.

So he said, "For the next ten days, you may read all the books in the manor except for the fifth floor. Of course, you cannot take them out."

"It's a deal!"
