Chapter 14

~8 min read 1,463 words

Huang Zhong gasped: "Not to mention the Great Yi Arrow Art, this Fire Phoenix Art is actually a technique that can reach the 'Seeing God Without Destruction' level. It is no exaggeration to call it a divine technique!"

"Lord, such a precious technique, you just gave it to me so casually?"

He didn't know whether to be moved or what to feel at this moment.

The Lord was a bit too generous.

At the same time, he had a clearer understanding of his Lord's comprehension.

His Lord was absolutely a celestial being descended to earth.

Didn't the Lord say that the world would soon usher in a true chaotic era?

In Huang Zhong's view at this moment, was his Lord perhaps the celestial being sent by Heaven to save the people and end this chaotic era?

Only this explanation made sense.

"Why? Do you not want it?"

Su Xuan looked at Huang Zhong playfully and tentatively reached out to take it back.

Huang Zhong subconsciously pulled his hand back, then realized what he had done, and sheepishly handed the two techniques back to Su Xuan: "I want them, but I feel I don't deserve them! Lord, you should take them back!"

"How about I ask for them after I have earned enough merit for you one day?"

Huang Zhong immediately thought of a compromise.

"Get out of here!"

Su Xuan waved his hand dismissively, didn't take the two technique manuals, and said: "Just take what I give you, why be so pretentious?"

"If you feel you owe me, then cultivate well, strive to break through to 'Seeing God Without Destruction' as soon as possible, so you can earn more merit for me;"

"Your strength is not strong enough yet, and I hope you can be as strong as possible;"

"It would be best if you could become the number one martial general in the world."

Only by cultivating early can Huang Zhong break through to 'Seeing God Without Destruction' early!

Currently, Huang Zhong is already at the peak of the Gang-Energy Realm.

And he has been stuck there for 3 years.

Because of Huang Xu's illness, his Martial Dao had not only stagnated over the past 2 years but even showed signs of regression.

Fortunately, now that Huang Xu has been cured, Huang Zhong's mentality has recovered, and he is even better than before, stabilizing his cultivation.

And he has started to progress again.

This is very good.

"Yes!"

Huang Zhong was inexplicably moved, held the technique manuals in his hands, nodded heavily, and said solemnly: "I will certainly not fail the Lord's expectations!"

That afternoon,

"Young Master, a young man named Wen Pin has come to the mansion to see you."

A servant from the Su Mansion rode his horse in a hurry to this manor, found Su Xuan, and reported.

"Oh? Wen Pin has already arrived?"

Su Xuan was overjoyed: "Let's go! We will go back to see him right now!"

Before leaving, he looked at Huang Zhong and asked: "Huang Hansheng, do you want to go with me?"

"Hmm..."

Huang Zhong pondered for a moment and finally nodded: "Very well! I will go with the Lord!"

He was mainly afraid that Wen Pin would be stubborn and refuse Su Xuan's recruitment because Su Xuan currently held no official position.

This would be a huge loss for both the Lord and Wen Pin.

Huang Zhong would absolutely not allow it.

In his view, Su Xuan was a hero, and a generous hero at that. Wen Pin could only best realize his value by following Su Xuan.

"Haha! Then I will trouble you, Huang Hansheng! Let's go!"

Su Xuan saw Huang Zhong's thoughts, smiled, called Huang Zhong, greeted the instructors in the barracks, and then mounted his horse and left in a hurry.

It took ten minutes to reach Dengxian and enter the Su Mansion.

Su Xuan met Wen Pin in the living room.

This was a young man in his early twenties, whose appearance carried a sense of steadiness within his heroic spirit. At a glance, he was not a character who would be impulsive.

"Huang Hansheng!"

"Wen Zhongye! Haha!"

As soon as Wen Pin and Huang Zhong saw each other, they both smiled and walked toward each other, embracing.

Wen Pin then politely bowed to Su Xuan: "You must be Young Master Su Xuan! Wen Pin, Wen Wen Zhongye, from Wancheng, Nanyang, pays his respects!"

"Wen Zhongye, you are too polite! Please take a seat!"

Su Xuan returned the bow, invited Wen Pin and Huang Zhong to sit down, then looked at Wen Pin and said directly: "Wen Zhongye, I won't waste words. A chaotic era is coming, and I hope you can come to help me."

"Hmm? Chaotic era?"

Wen Pin was stunned by Su Xuan's direct words and asked in confusion: "What exactly is the chaotic era the Young Master speaks of?"

Su Xuan immediately told Wen Pin about the Way of Peace and added: "According to my estimation, in a year or a year and a half, when the scale of the Way of Peace reaches the limit of what various forces can tolerate, they will inevitably raise the banner of rebellion;"

"Currently, the military preparedness in the imperial court and various places is lax. Suddenly, they will inevitably be unable to easily suppress this large-scale rebellion;"

"At that time, the imperial court will inevitably issue an edict, allowing righteous men from various places to recruit local volunteers to participate in suppressing the rebellion;"

"And this is our opportunity to build a career!"

"Only by seizing this rare opportunity will we have the chance to soar into the sky, build a career, and achieve fame;"

Speaking of this, Su Xuan paused, looked at Wen Pin, and said: "To be honest, Wen Zhongye, you must have felt the difficulty of wanting to enter officialdom these past few years, right?"

"Indeed!"

Speaking of this, Wen Pin also nodded with a frustrated and indignant face: "Without a sufficient family background, wanting to get ahead in this era is far more difficult than I imagined;"

"But Young Master, I heard that you were already recommended as a Filial and Honest last year. Logically speaking, you shouldn't need to go to the battlefield to fight for an opportunity, right? Why are you..."

"Haha!"

Su Xuan looked up and laughed: "Why do I still do this, right?"

Wen Pin nodded.

Su Xuan continued: "Because, according to the normal process of being recommended as a Filial and Honest, I would need more than three years or even longer to become a county magistrate;"

"Not to mention other official positions."

"Although my Nanyang Su clan is better than those below, it is not as good as those above. The glory of our ancestor Su Wu has long been exhausted and is not enough to support my ambition; it is barely enough to maintain the family business!"

"This is not what I want!"

"Therefore, I must seize this rare opportunity to soar into the sky;"

"And this requires talents like Huang Hansheng and you, Wen Zhongye, to help me achieve my goals!"

"We can be considered to be achieving each other. I have the money, food, and resources to provide you with the stage you want. It just depends on whether you are willing."

Wen Pin fell into deep thought.

Such a thing could not be decided easily with just one sentence.

In the end, it was because Su Xuan's current status was a bit awkward, as he had not yet entered officialdom.

At this time, Huang Zhong, who was on the side, was a bit anxious and quickly looked at Wen Pin: "Wen Zhongye, are you willing to trust me?"

"Hmm?"

Wen Pin looked up at Huang Zhong in a daze, then smiled: "I am naturally willing to trust you, Brother Huang Hansheng!"

"Then don't hesitate! Agree!"

Huang Zhong waved his hand: "My Lord Su Xuan is an unparalleled hero and will inevitably achieve great things in the future;"

"Moreover, the Lord is also an extremely generous person. I have only joined for a few days, and I have already obtained several top-tier military books and one top-tier Martial Dao technique;"

"If you join, as long as you have enough merit and are loyal enough, I believe the Lord will not be stingy in bestowing these upon you as well;"

"The techniques we learned from our teacher and our own family techniques were not perfect. Now that such a good opportunity is here and the Lord is so sincere, what are you still hesitating about?"

Huang Zhong had a look of "hate that iron doesn't become steel."

Wen Pin was left speechless.

However, he did listen.
