Chapter 286: Chapter 239: Tang Wen: Since Sister-in-law Wants to See Me (2)

The Sixth Young Master’s eyes snapped open. "I swear, I knew nothing about this!"

Han Cheng spoke with difficulty. "No one ordered me to do it. The Eldest Young Master was kind to me, and I acted foolishly in a moment of weakness! I beg you, Seventh Young Master, give me a chance."

After speaking, he fell to his knees with a THUD.

"I can give you a chance. You’re still young. I’ll arrange for you to go gain experience outside the city. As for your family, don’t worry. The gang and I will take good care of them for you!"

Han Cheng could only express his gratitude.

’Young?’

’Gain experience outside the city?’

His heart twitched as he thought of Tang Wen’s ridiculously young face.

’I’m thirty-seven this year. I’ve already gained plenty of experience at the mines outside.’

’I don’t even know if I’ll ever be able to come back!’

’After all, mining and eating sand is one thing. But being transferred to work under the Seventh Young Master... he’s not going to make my life difficult, is he?’

The more Han Cheng thought about it, the more miserable he felt. He glanced over at the Sixth Young Master, only to find that the man had unknowingly distanced himself by several yards.

How could the Sixth Young Master’s actions not be disheartening?

Vice Gang Leader Liu began to speak, warning everyone to be united and of one mind. Especially in these troubled times, with many people being reassigned to assist the Giant Rock Martial Arts Hall...

As he listened, Tang Wen began to think.

Liang Yu had secretly gone to check on that batch of Hummingbirds.

Apart from a dozen or so particularly unlucky ones that had died, the rest had survived the evolutionary crisis and were now growing strong.

Hummingbirds weren’t Exotic Beasts. Their evolution was more like a mutation.

A benign mutation. It was harder than evolution, with an even lower success rate.

The probability of a normal Hummingbird mutating all the way to the Extraordinary Level was despairingly low.

Tang Wen felt that if he had a certain amount of Purple Pearl Honey and enough Hummingbirds, and if he were to guide their mutation himself, he was fairly confident he could evolve a few Extraordinary Hummingbirds.

’Unfortunately, it seems I can’t bring this up.’

After Vice Gang Leader Liu finished speaking, he went over to the Thirteen Thieves.

Shassen then introduced the other twelve members.

"Shassen, you wish to comprehend the Profound Technique of the Night Divine Fist?"

"Yes, Young Master. I’ve been stuck at the peak of the Extraordinary Realm for a very, very long time!" His words were filled with sincere longing.

"Good. Starting tomorrow, you can spend three days comprehending it and see how it feels."

"Thank you, Young Master!"

Shassen cupped his fist and bowed.

The twelve brothers behind him bowed as well.

Straightening up, Shassen hesitated before saying, "However, Young Master, we’d still like to return to our camp first to bring our wives and children here."

"Mm, do as you see fit. You can start training after you get back."

"Thank you for your consideration, Young Master!"

Tang Wen then looked at the others. "The four of you who have entered the Extraordinary Realm may also choose one Visualization Martial Art to comprehend at your leisure."

"Thank you, Young Master!"

’The Seventh Young Master is so magnanimous and generous!’

"As for the rest of you Martial Artists, there’s no need to rush. Work hard, train diligently, and when the time comes for you to break through to the Extraordinary Realm, I will provide Protective Marrow Liquid!"

"Thank you, Young Master! We swear to serve you to the death!"

’This Young Master is unbelievably generous.’

The Thirteen Thieves departed in a hurry.

Having come from a background as Sand Thieves, they judged others by their own standards and believed the Sixth Young Master would not spare their families.

Although Tang Wen didn’t think Lao Liu would be that stupid.

But since he couldn’t dispel their worries, he didn’t try to keep them.

’As for whether they can be entrusted with important responsibilities, that will depend on their future performance.’

The members of the Black Water Gang left in groups.

In the end, only Tang Wen, Shui Yun, the Gang Leader, the two Vice Gang Leaders, and Aunt Lian, who had suddenly appeared from the shadows, remained.

The six of them were the core of the core of the Black Water Gang.

And they were all on the same side.

They could speak with far fewer reservations.

Shui Qianjun looked at the disciple he hadn’t formally taught for a single day, feeling both pleased and amazed, but also a headache coming on.

"You are so young, yet you know to avoid temptations of the flesh and practice restraint. As your master, I am very pleased."

Tang Wen: ’I’m avoiding temptations? I’m practicing restraint?’

’Uh, it’s mainly because I’m an undercover agent with a strong sense of crisis! Master!’

"However, you were too conspicuous today! Defeating a Peak Extraordinary with a single strike, your combat strength has shot straight to the Sixth Grade! Wen’Er, you’ll become a thorn in everyone’s side."

Tang Wen kept his head down, his expression calm as he remained silent.

Seeing him with his head lowered and not speaking, Shui Qianjun thought perhaps his tone had been too harsh.

’I haven’t taught him much myself, so how can I blame my own genius disciple?’

He then smiled and said, "Of course! It’s not that we’re afraid. But in the future when you go out, especially when leaving the city, you must be careful, careful, and then careful again."

After speaking, he took out a piece of Ancient Jade he had prepared earlier.

"Sealed inside is one of my Killing Moves. Carry it with you. If you encounter danger, just crush it to escape."

"Thank you, Master!" Tang Wen didn’t stand on ceremony and immediately put it away. At the same time, he said tactfully, "This disciple has no plans to leave the city, aside from a possible trip to White Tiger Village."

"White Tiger Village... hmm, in that case, it’s better to have them send someone to see you." Shui Qianjun explained, "It’s not that I forbid you from going out, but things have been very eventful recently, and we don’t know where Huang the Seventeenth Lang is wandering. It’s best to be cautious about everything."

Tang Wen had no objections. Although he was still hiding his true strength and wasn’t afraid of any Sixth-Grade Master, the probability of encountering a Fifth-Grade one was low, so leaving the city wasn’t actually that dangerous.

’But what if?’

’It’s better not to take the risk.’

As a Swordsmanship Grandmaster, Tang Wen was now valued even more highly than Shui Yun...

As the crowd of spectators dispersed, they headed to the brothels, taverns, teahouses, and theaters.

The news that the Black Water Gang’s Seventh Young Master had become a Swordsmanship Grandmaster and defeated a Peak Extraordinary with a single strike spread like wildfire.

An eighteen-year-old Extraordinary was already shocking enough.

But he turned out to be a Swordsmanship Grandmaster too. Was he even giving anyone else a chance to live?

In a tavern, after a few cups of wine, someone who had followed a high-ranking gang member to watch Tang Wen’s match made a bombshell of a statement:
