Chapter 685: Decision

"What? Beaten to their knees?"

Song Jingang opened his mouth wide, and the meat bun in his mouth almost fell to the ground: "Really or fake?"

In his heart, he was speechless: 'How come I don't know I'm so powerful?'

"Hehe... although my martial arts talent is average, I am good at observing!"

Ye Fengchun smiled: "Master Yu only came back yesterday evening, her face didn't look good... and the kitchen started stewing medicinal herbs for healing again... that contains century-old ginseng, you guys aren't qualified to drink it, only the two masters might."

"Zhou Shidi Ye, you are truly a talent..."

Song Jingang sighed in admiration, feeling it was a pity for Ye Fengchun to be a martial artist.

If he mixed in the market and became an informant, he would probably have a meal to eat.

"Ahem!"

Just at this time, a cough sounded.

Song Jingang looked over and saw Master Yu and Master Xiong had arrived, followed by Yuchi Gang and others.

Ye Fengchun was immediately scared silly.

"Song Jingang... how are your injuries?"

Master Yu coldly glanced at Ye Fengchun and didn't say anything.

As a superior, no matter how angry she was, she couldn't retaliate on the spot.

Those with even a little bit of sophistication must pretend to be magnanimous; they don't even need to do it themselves after returning, as there will naturally be sycophants watching their cues to take action.

"Many thanks for your concern, Master, I am still okay... just injured, wanting to ask for leave to go home and recuperate for a period of time."

Song Jingang answered respectfully.

In order to act thoroughly, he really did something to his chest last night.

Anyway, with the "Water Bear Body" anomaly, the minor injury he received could be recovered quickly as long as his thought moved, and it wouldn't affect anything at all.

"Hmm, you completed the task this time, although the target was wrong, the strength shown can be considered remarkable."

Master Xiong nodded: "And you were injured... it is indeed time to rest. I will give you half a month's leave to go home and visit your relatives... With your strength and talent... it is still very possible to join the Five Poultry Sect, don't be slack."

As soon as these words came out, even Ye Fengchun forgot his social death, his eyes staring at his good friend.

He knew that as a commoner martial artist, there were too few ways to get ahead.

And Song Jingang, relying on his talent and diligence, actually really opened the barrier of the Five Poultry Sect...

From today on, perhaps both sides would be people of two worlds.

"Congratulations, Zhou Shidi."

Yuchi Gang smiled kindly: "We have been classmates for three years, speaking of which, I should also visit your father and mother, it's just that I also have important matters, I will visit with heavy gifts in the future..."

As aristocratic children, Yuchi Gang and Situ Yanyan had never looked down on these classmates.

But if it were a Sixth Rank internal energy martial artist who could join the Five Poultry Sect, it would be different.

The means of dealing with people passed down by the aristocratic family made them immediately show the best attitude.

"No need to be polite."

Song Jingang said hurriedly.

'How is it? Do you feel a bit floating?'

'The compliments of classmates, the change of identity...'

'Wait until you truly take that step and join the Five Poultry Sect... the pursuit you receive will be ten times, a hundred times what it is now!'

In Song Jingang's heart, Fang Xing's teasing voice came again.

'So... is the senior telling me to be humble and not forget my original intention?'

Song Jingang asked seriously: 'I will of course be like this, and will only work harder in the future...'

'No, what I want to say is that if a person is not crazy, they are not a youth... if you don't be crazy or proud now, when you get old, you will find that your life is so boring, missing a lot of fun of showing off...'

Fang Xing answered seriously: 'What age a person is, they should do what they should do, this is also a kind of innocent heart...'

Song Jingang could only smile bitterly in his heart.

Poor children take charge early, what innocent heart, he would probably never have a chance...

Still that Jiangnan water town.

The roads on both sides were full of mud, and not a shadow of bluestone could be seen.

Even between the fields, there was the smell of fresh chicken droppings and pig manure.

Song Jingang walked through it, but felt incomparably comfortable.

The real countryside was never a pastoral paradise, but he just felt inexplicably comfortable.

If Fang Xing commented, he would definitely say "a golden nest or a silver nest is not as good as a dog's nest."

"Uncle Daluo... I'm back."

"Sister Cuihua, you're married..."

Song Jingang greeted all the way, and then walked to his own door.

"Is that Tiger?"

His mother saw him, and her eyes immediately turned red, then she ran back to the kitchen and came out with a kitchen knife.

Song Jingang saw it and smiled immediately, knowing that the hen laying eggs at home was going to suffer.

Night.

A huge candle that they were usually reluctant to use was lit on the wooden table, and there was a full pot of chicken soup.

Besides chicken soup, there were two dishes of vegetables and a plate of stir-fried chicken giblets.

At the dinner table, there was only the sound of Blackie's mother urging him to eat more vegetables.

Song Jingang and Song Laoliu looked at each other and silently shoveled rice.

Martial artists have a huge appetite, and before long, the table of food was eaten clean.

"I'll go wash the dishes..."

Blackie's mother felt the atmosphere was wrong and could only sigh, going to the kitchen to wash the dishes.

"Let's go for a walk."

Song Laoliu stood up and said.

Although he didn't know Song Jingang was the savior who saved him, from the deliberate appearance before, this son must have guessed that he was Howling Xiao Tianquan Gou San.

"Okay."

Song Jingang agreed and followed silently.

Song Laoliu walked in front, his footsteps getting faster and faster, and in the end, his figure almost turned into a black shadow.

Song Jingang poured internal energy into his legs, and no matter how Song Laoliu ran, he could follow firmly, even appearing to have spare energy.

"Good boy."

After leaving the village and stopping in an uninhabited wilderness, Song Laoliu sighed in admiration: "It was really not wrong to send you to Bai Lu Academy back then, this light martial arts is about to surpass me..."

"..."

Could Song Jingang say he had already broken through to internal energy?

Even if he didn't break through to internal energy, an ordinary Seventh Rank martial artist was definitely not an opponent of his who practiced Ancient Martial Arts!

"With your talent, you will definitely be able to break the shackles in the future and enter the middle three ranks... by then, join the Five Poultry Sect and bring glory to your ancestors."

Song Laoliu grinned and laughed heartily.

"If you wanted me to join the Five Poultry Sect, why dig the grave of a Five Poultry Sect expert?"

Song Jingang sighed.

"Alas... I didn't want to, the key is that it was just a maternal grave, as for the graves of real Five Poultry Sect experts, where would I dare to dig?"

Song Laoliu sighed repeatedly: "This time it was also because I wasn't cautious before taking action, and didn't investigate clearly... Rest assured, in the future, just pretend Howling Xiao Tianquan died in the Jianghu, and I will live a good life at home with your mother..."

Song Jingang breathed a long sigh of relief in his heart, and was also a bit moved, knowing that his father had paid a lot for him: "Dad..."

"Haha, what are you doing with this little girl's posture? My son will definitely be on the 'New Wind Ranking' in the future!"

Song Laoliu laughed, and took out a booklet from his bosom, stuffing it to Song Jingang: "Your old dad has nothing, only this "Toad Fishing Energy", which is a middle three-rank cultivation method that I spent I don't know how much effort to get, unfortunately... I tried to break through, but failed, it seems I don't have that fate..."

Song Jingang took it and was surprised: "Middle three-rank cultivation method?"

Such a cultivation method, if encountered by someone suitable for cultivation, is enough to continuously create middle three-rank experts.

It can be said to be the foundation of some small aristocratic families and sects!

"This secret manual was taken from a Daoist's grave, suspected to have some relationship with the Tianyang Sect..."

Song Laoliu said embarrassedly: "So it's best not to practice it, just take it for reference... I also recorded many experiences and insights of walking in the Jianghu on it, read it more when you have nothing to do... Real martial arts, naturally, it is best to join the Five Poultry Sect to learn."

"Five Poultry Sect... I don't plan to go."

Song Jingang suddenly said.

"What?" Song Laoliu was surprised, and then said: "Because... me?"

"There is no wall that doesn't leak wind in the world, besides... even if I can hide it for a lifetime, my heart can't pass it."

Song Jingang lowered his voice: "Dad, you and Mom leave Chuzhou... I also plan to leave Chuzhou, there are nine major sects in the world, besides the Five Poultry Sect, there are eight other major sects to choose from."

"You are... really cautious, like me."

Song Laoliu gritted his teeth: "Okay... let's leave Chuzhou, then we won't be afraid of anything."

Howling Xiao Tianquan's range of activities was just around Chuzhou.

Leaving Chuzhou, the possibility of encountering the victim was extremely small.

After all, this is the era of sect and vassal division, even if you kill someone and are wanted by the sect, as long as you hide in the territory of the sect's enemy, nothing will happen...

"Hmm, then it's best to move immediately... find another reason."

Song Jingang nodded, and then whispered to himself in his heart: 'Actually... what I fear most not passing is my martial arts heart.'

The Five Poultry Sect has nothing to do with him now, even the Bai Lu Academy is just paying money and teaching martial arts, money and goods are cleared.

But joining a sect needs to be incomparably cautious, and also needs to make an oath.

His father's actions made Song Jingang feel that he was sorry for the Five Poultry Sect from the beginning, if he had to make an oath of allegiance and join it, it would be like deception.

Perhaps some people don't care, but he cares!

'Senior... do you think my choice is right or wrong?'

Song Jingang asked in his heart.

'In this world, where are there so many rights and wrongs?'

'Since you have made a choice, then let it be... just remember that there is no regret after placing the piece.'

Fang Xing sneered and answered.

"Ask yourself with a clear conscience, no regrets after placing the piece."

Song Jingang smiled: 'I am also because I have the True Martial Talisman, so I don't care... Even if I can't join any big sect, then wander the world, being a Jianghu young hero is also good.'

'Jianghu young hero? You think too much...'

Fang Xing asked casually: 'Young heroes are all graceful, where do you get the fine clothes and food, swords and horses for walking in the Jianghu? What about food and lodging along the way? Even... how do you wash your underwear at night? No matter how good the Jianghu dream is, it will eventually return to firewood, rice, oil, and salt... Without the support of a force, those young heroes walking in the Jianghu will turn into disheveled savages in less than a month...' ===== CHAPTER 686 =====

Fang Xing, however, asked casually: "Young heroes are always dashing and elegant, but where do you get the fine clothes, expensive food, swords, and horses for your travels in the Jianghu? How do you handle food and lodging along the way? And even... how do you wash your undergarments at night? No matter how good a Jianghu dream is, it must eventually return to the mundane realities of life... Without the support of a faction, those young heroes traveling the Jianghu would turn into disheveled savages in less than a month..."
