refuse,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Su Wanqiu gave her a scolding.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>On usual days,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>she might just say a few words,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>but this time Chen Xuan was going to the black market, how could he take her along.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Even if he wasn’t going to the black market,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>taking her still wouldn’t do,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>after all,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>it’s more than ten li from here to the county town, who knows if it’s safe.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Chen Xuan is indeed a Martial Artist,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>but bringing her, an ordinary woman, would just be a burden, it would definitely be less safe than going alone.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Her sister really acts on a whim.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Just got scolded the day before,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>and here she is again, truly tiresome.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She’s completely a child!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Seeing Su Yun beside him being scolded to tears, like little pearls dropping, Chen Xuan could only smile wryly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>However,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>he didn’t speak up for her either.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This little girl is like a donkey, needing a beating every now and then.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>....\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After an unpleasant breakfast,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Su Wanqiu brought over a large burlap sack to Chen Xuan.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I made this last night, took apart a few sacks and re-stitched them, it should hold that big White Tiger.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Receiving the sack, Chen Xuan noticed her hands were covered in redness, with many pin pricks.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He immediately felt sorry for his sister-in-law.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Truly, for this family, for him, she’s been quietly working from behind.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Don’t think it was merely just taking apart a few sacks and re-stitching, it was very troublesome.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Time-consuming and labor-intensive!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Probably started after he left last night,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>who knows how long it took,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>this morning,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>she was up early making breakfast.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Thanks, sister-in-law.\" These words genuinely came from Chen Xuan’s heart.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>.....\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After packing up the White Tiger, Chen Xuan bid a simple farewell and left home.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At this moment,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>there were only two women in the main room.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Su Yun, with her head down, quietly worked on a shoe sole, not daring to speak.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Seeing this,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Su Wanqiu ignored her.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Her sister really seemed like she’d never grow up, couldn’t be treated too nicely.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Otherwise,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>she’d just remain a child!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Going west from Shuanggang Village, it takes about a dozen li to reach Yunze County.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In his memory,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>it seemed like he had only been once,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>when his older brother was still alive and they went to town to sell their hunted game.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With a six-hundred-jin White Tiger on his back,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>fortunately, Chen Xuan was now an Eighth-Grade Martial Artist,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>otherwise,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>he might not even be able to handle it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The entrance to the black market is not within the county town,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>so,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>he didn’t have to enter the town.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He also saved on the city entry tax.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After spending almost two hours, Chen Xuan arrived at the moat to the east of Yunze County.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ferry!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A few small boats, each with a boatman wearing a bamboo hat and dressed in black.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This is the entrance to the black market,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>and these boats are specifically for taking people to the black market.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>One of the boats already had several people on it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>When Chen Xuan just arrived,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>the boatman on this boat called out, \"10 copper coins to enter the black market!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Upon hearing this, Chen Xuan thought to himself, ’What a rip-off!’\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Just to enter, it costs 10 copper coins; collecting this entrance fee alone is quite a lucrative income.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>However,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>he still paid the money honestly and got on the boat.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Unexpectedly,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>once he was on board, the boatman shouted, \"Depart!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Then,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>the small boat steadily headed towards the center of the lake.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Chen Xuan glanced around.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Including the boatman, there were 10 people on this boat.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Even though people were not far from each other, no one spoke a word.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Chen Xuan didn’t know if there was a rule against speaking on the boat, but to avoid trouble, he just sat in a corner, with the sack beside him, yet his hand held tightly onto the sack’s opening.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Young man, the stuff in your bag is quite heavy, if I’d known, I would have charged you double.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The boatman rowed with a hint of struggle.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Ah, sorry sir, I didn’t know the rules, I’ll make it up next time, next time, huh.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Suddenly being pointed out,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Chen Xuan was startled.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Likewise, the boatman paused, his oar stopped for a moment.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Sir!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A slight smile at the corner of his mouth!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Next time, bring me a bottle of wine, this is back-breaking work!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The boatman said gloomily, then added, \"Don’t forget!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Uh?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Chen Xuan really wanted to roll his eyes,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>he was just saying it casually,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>couldn’t believe the old guy took it seriously.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Doesn’t he know \"next time\" means there won’t be one?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This face... so thick!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>However,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>being his first time at the black market, unfamiliar with the place, he didn’t want to offend anyone, so he could only force a reply, \"Alright, I’ll definitely bring you a bottle of wine!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Afterwards,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>the small boat fell silent again, except for the sound of water.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>About half an hour later,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>buildings appeared one by one.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>An island!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This is the black market.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After the boat docked, one by one, people began disembarking, Chen Xuan was the last one.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"That thing of yours should fetch a good price, and remember, no fighting in the black market, or heads will roll!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As he got off the boat,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>the boatman suddenly gave a reminder.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This startled Chen Xuan at first.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He had never let go of this sack, how did this old guy know.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>he still respectfully cupped his fist, \"Thank you for the reminder, sir, I understand!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Then he got off the boat.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The black market is divided into four regions: east, south, west, and north.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Each region trades different things,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Wang Daming had mentioned all this to him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He should be heading to the Eastern Domain.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>So, he followed the cobblestone path, according to the directions, towards the Eastern Domain.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Soon,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>a huge gate appeared in Chen Xuan’s view.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Above the gate,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>the two words \"Eastern Domain\" were written with a flourish.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At the gate,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>a recliner was laid with some beast’s fur that he couldn’t identify.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A middle-aged man in green lay on it with his eyes closed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Behind him,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>stood two burly men, with longswords at their waists, each about 1.8 meters tall, one on the left and one on the right.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Seeing this,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Chen Xuan approached and respectfully said, \"Sir, I am here to the Eastern Domain to sell some hunted beasts!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>However,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>the man in green on the chair didn’t even lift his eyelids, and said blandly, \"Stall fee, 10 copper coins!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>again, another 10!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Chen Xuan, though it hurt, honestly took 10 copper coins from his pocket and handed them over.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The man on the right took the money, and the one on the left tossed him a wooden plaque.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The number 038 was carved on it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Seeing his confusion, the man on the left knew it was his first time in the black market, so he explained, \"Booth number 38, find it yourself!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Thank you!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Chen Xuan nodded to express his thanks and then continued inside with the sack on his back.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After he left,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>the man in green on the recliner said, \"Xiaoli, you’re quite nice, aren’t you!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Hehe, Lord Yuan, that guy looks like a first-timer, I just reminded him to prevent any trouble from happening, so it wouldn’t come back on us!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Hmm, you think things through quite thoroughly.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Oh!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yuan Hong stretched out as he lay there, yawning.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"You both keep an eye out, I’m going to snooze for a while!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Behind him, both men exchanged glances and smiled wryly together.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lord Yuan really isn’t concerned with minor things!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"\"\"\u003C\u002Fp>",1305,"2026-06-02T08:17:45.239Z",1,"novelbin.me","da1e1786b666690a57a815a91d1b02edf245b66da68762f62213449cd16bbb15","unstoppable-martial-arts-starting-with-brother-s-chapter-22","unstoppable-martial-arts-starting-with-brother-s-chapter-20",1076,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Funstoppable-martial-arts-starting-with-brother-s-cover.jpg"]
