Beginning with the Five Animals Fist to Become a Saint

Chapter 614 Hand in homework

The rain poured down like a waterfall.

There were few pedestrians on the road, and when two or three people appeared, they were hurrying through the rain.

They either held umbrellas or wore raincoats.

Jiang Ning walked through the rain, holding an umbrella, towards her home.

At this moment, the scene from just now resurfaced in his mind: the Prince of Huai'an belittling him with an air of superiority.

At that time, the mere burst of energy made him personally feel the pressure from a martial arts master at the pinnacle.

He knew even better that the Prince of Huai'an had just experienced a great battle and was ambushed, so he was in very poor condition and had lost more than one-tenth of his strength.

It was precisely because the Prince of Huai'an was in such poor condition that Granny Bai chose to descend.

The information he had just received kept flashing through his mind, and then he sighed inwardly.

"I'm still too weak!"

He understood that, given his achievements, few people would want to antagonize him, after all, he was still young, and no one knew how high he would go in the future.

However, the Prince of Huai'an was not among these people.

The Prince of Huai'an was a figure who had reached the pinnacle of martial arts in his time.

In this world, there are very few beings who can surpass the powerful Prince of Huai'an.

The Prince of Huai'an was a legend of his time, a myth in martial arts.

Such a person would not possibly have any fear of his future achievements.

In the eyes of the world, even if his future achievements come true, he will only be a new martial arts legend, someone who can rival the King of Huai'an.

How could the Prince of Huai'an, who had long since reached the pinnacle of martial arts, possibly take this seriously?

Therefore, he understood that the Prince of Huai'an had restrained himself earlier, but only because of the weight of the Inspectorate.

After all, the Inspectorate is a power institution led by the Martial Saint.

Currently, one of the deputy heads of the General Administration is a disciple of the Martial Saint.

It can be said that the Inspectorate also represents the face of the Martial Saint Mansion.

Jiang Ning walked silently home in the rain, lost in thought.

The slight pride and complacency I had felt earlier vanished at this moment.

After a while.

He then returned to his own front door.

"Young Master!!" Green Rhyme stood in front of the gate and saw Jiang Ning walking out of the rain curtain in the distance. She immediately opened her umbrella and went to greet him.

"How long have you been waiting here?" Jiang Ning asked, looking at Lü Yi who had come up to him.

"Not long, just a little while!" Green Ripple looked at Jiang Ning with a smile in her eyes and secretly breathed a sigh of relief.

Jiang Ning glanced at her, then smiled.

He knew that Lüyi must have been waiting for him here for a long time.

"Let's go back first!"

“Mmm!” Green Ripple nodded immediately and followed Jiang Ning’s side.

We've just entered the front yard.

The two then saw Jiang Li and Liu Wanwan emerge from the house.

The two of them had just finished preparing.

Jiang Li wore a straw raincoat and a straw hat, while Liu Wanwan held up a floral umbrella.

"Ah Ning, it really is you back!" Liu Wanwan's face lit up with joy when she saw Jiang Ning.

"Brother, did the Prince of Huai'an make things difficult for you?" Jiang Li hurried down the steps into the rain and walked quickly toward Jiang Ning.

The two of them already knew about Wang Qingtan.

"No!" Jiang Ning smiled as he saw Jiang Li, who was only up to his eyebrows, standing in front of him.

Then he added, "A big shot from the capital has arrived, a big shot who's been nice to me."

"I knew my brother would get help from a benefactor!" Jiang Li grinned.

Liu Wanwan, holding a floral umbrella, walked through the rain curtain to the two of them.

"Brother and sister-in-law, don't worry about me. After all, I am the Inspector of Dongling County. No one dares to touch me easily on the surface!" Jiang Ning reassured the two of them.

"It's easy to dodge a spear in the open, but hard to guard against an arrow in the dark. Brother, you must not be too careless!" Jiang Li said.

“I understand!” Jiang Ning nodded.

"Since there's nothing else, I'll go start the fire and cook. You two brothers can have a good drink later!" Liu Wanwan said.

"Okay!" Jiang Li nodded, then added, "Make a couple more substantial dishes."

"Don't worry!" Liu Wanwan said gently.

"Thank you for your hard work, sister-in-law!" Jiang Ning said.

"We're family, don't speak like outsiders!" Liu Wanwan feigned anger.

After a while.

Jiang Ning returned to his courtyard.

The sky was gradually darkening.

On rainy days, it always gets dark faster than usual.

Standing on the lake, Jiang Ning held a long sword in his hand.

An invisible aura burst forth from his body, causing the rain curtain above to part.

The scene from just now, the tense atmosphere inside the room, resurfaced in his mind.

"If I had attacked the Prince of Huai'an just now, I would have certainly come out worse off! Even though the Prince of Huai'an is in extremely poor condition, he is still not someone I can contend with in my current state!"

"With the methods I have previously mastered, the vast majority of them cannot pose the slightest threat to the Prince of Huai'an!"

"The only things that can really help me are probably the sixteen-foot golden body and the golden mist in my dantian."

"Even if I am no match for them, as long as I touch a water source, I will instantly appear dozens or hundreds of miles away, so there should be no problem for me to escape and protect myself."

He muttered to himself, a deep look of contemplation flashing in his eyes.

next moment.

He moved the longsword in his hand.

The sword light rolled, instantly turning the surrounding rain into mist.

"Ordinary methods are useless in front of a powerful figure like the Prince of Huai'an! What can truly give me a higher level of combat power is the supreme sword technique from the Shangyang Immortal Sect, the Taixu Yin Yang Sword."

"If I could master the Taixu Yin-Yang Sword, even with my current strength, I might be able to threaten a powerhouse of the level of the Prince of Huai'an!"

As he practiced his swordsmanship, various thoughts flashed through his mind.

Soon, my mind became completely clear, with no more distracting thoughts arising.

His sword techniques changed faster and faster.

[Seven Star Demon-Subduing Sword Experience Points +7]

[Seven Star Demon-Subduing Sword Experience Points +6]

[Seven Star Demon-Subduing Sword Experience Points +7]

【.】

As time goes by, the Seven Star Demon-Subduing Sword accumulates experience points and its progress continues to increase.

As he practiced swordsmanship, he became increasingly focused, with no distracting thoughts in his mind.

Until Lüyi came over with an umbrella.

Noticing the commotion outside, he snapped out of his daze and then withdrew his sword stance.

"Young Master, Sister Wanwan asked me to come and call you for dinner!" Green Rhyme said after seeing Jiang Ning stop practicing his sword.

"Okay!" Jiang Ning nodded.

He sheathed his sword and set off.

After dinner.

Back in his courtyard, Jiang Ning continued practicing his swordsmanship.

To master the Taixu Yin Yang Sword as soon as possible and further enhance one's strength.

He needs to improve his own swordsmanship talent first.

The higher one's swordsmanship talent, the more experience points one gains from sword practice, and the more efficient one becomes.

As night deepened, the rain gradually stopped.

Then, a bright moon slowly rose.

Sheriff's Mansion.

In the dead of night, the voices of two girls suddenly rang out.

"Sis, I'm scared when it thunders later!"

"If you're scared, just hide under the covers. I'm sleeping by myself tonight!" Wang Qingtan pushed her younger sister out of the room, then stuffed a pillow into Wang Qinghan's arms before closing the door.

As the door closed, she peeked out from the crack to look at her younger sister, who was holding a pillow in her arms, in the hallway.

"You're all grown up now, you need to learn to sleep alone!" With those words, she closed the door. Feeling Wang Qinghan leave, she breathed a sigh of relief.

"This little girl is really clingy; I have to resort to such drastic measures!"

Then, she went to the window, opened the previously closed window, and propped it open.

After a heavy rain, fresh air rushed into the room, and Wang Qingtan took a deep breath of the fresh air.

She returned to her bed, filled with anticipation.

It wasn't until half an hour later.

Jiang Ning arrived at Wang Qingtan's window and then climbed through it.

The moment he landed, he saw Wang Qingtan in the darkness, her eyes blinking.

"Come here!" She lifted half of the blanket, patted the empty bed, and gestured for Jiang Ning to come over.

Seeing this, Jiang Ning smiled.

I came to the bedside.

"Take off your coat first!" Wang Qingtan sat on the bed and looked up at Jiang Ning.

“Okay!” Jiang Ning nodded and immediately began to work.

"You're so clumsy, let me do it!" Wang Qingtan stood up, put her bare feet into her embroidered shoes, and then took over Jiang Ning's task.

After taking off Jiang Ning's coat and placing it aside, Wang Qingtan went back to bed.

Her bare feet then tucked into the blankets.

“I’ll sleep inside tonight, and you can sleep outside!” she said.

"Okay!" Jiang Ning nodded.

He also crawled into bed.

The two of them immediately locked eyes.

"Take off two more pieces!" Wang Qingtan looked at Jiang Ning, her eyes blinking.

"Okay!" Jiang Ning nodded.

After a while.

Wang Qingtan's slender fingers traced across Jiang Ning's back, her fingertips brushing against distinct muscles, while her swan-like neck stretched out gracefully.

The next morning.

"Sister! Sister!!" Wang Qinghan's knocking voice rang out from outside the door.

The sound startled the two of them awake.

When their eyes met, a hint of shyness flashed in Wang Qingtan's eyes.

She quickly pulled the blanket over her shoulders.

"Sister, get up! Let's go see your husband today, okay?!" Wang Qinghan called out again from outside the door.

"Qinghan, are you asking for trouble?! Coming to bother me so early in the morning!" Wang Qingtan said, gesturing for Jiang Ning to hurry up and get ready.

Seeing this, Jiang Ning looked helpless.

Who would have thought that Wang Qinghan was knocking on the door just as dawn was breaking?

This made him feel like he had been caught in the act of adultery.

"Hurry up!" Wang Qingtan opened her mouth, but no sound came out.

Then she stopped worrying about so much, lifted the quilt and put on the undergarment she found in the corner.

Seeing Jiang Ning's burning gaze, she was immediately embarrassed and annoyed, and glared at Jiang Ning fiercely.

After a while.

The two were dressed neatly.

"You go back first!" Wang Qingtan pushed Jiang Ning to the window. "I'll rest for two days and then come to see you!"

“Okay!” Jiang Ning nodded, patted Wang Qingtan’s hair, and then climbed over the window.

After seeing Jiang Ning leave, Wang Qingtan tidied herself up and smoothed her long hair before opening the door.

the other side.

Jiang Ning has already left the prefectural governor's residence.

"I've finished my homework, time to go back and practice my sword!" He glanced in the direction of Wang Qingtan behind him, then looked away.

Then, with a flash, he disappeared from the spot.

Si hour.

"Grandma Bai!" Jiang Ning immediately bowed upon seeing Grandma Bai appear in his courtyard.

"The Seven Star Demon-Subduing Sword?" Granny Bai asked.

“Yes!” Jiang Ning nodded.

"This sword technique has an extraordinary origin and profound meaning; it is a fine sword technique! I observe that your sword moves have reached the level of perfect harmony, which shows that your talent in swordsmanship is also extraordinary!" Granny Bai nodded in approval.

"Grandma Bai, you flatter me!" Jiang Ning said.

“No need to be so modest!” Granny Bai said, then sat down in the pavilion.

She then asked, "Were you planning to attack the Prince of Huai'an yesterday?"

“My mother-in-law has a keen eye; I did indeed have that impulse at the time.”

"But is it because of that girl?" Granny Bai asked again.

“Yes!” Jiang Ning nodded: “She took the initiative to speak up for me, and I can’t just sit by and watch her face the wrath of the Prince of Huai’an alone.”

"Knowing it's impossible yet still doing it, that's commendable courage!" Granny Bai praised, then added, "It seems that the little girl didn't misplace her affections."

When she said the last sentence, a look of reminiscence and longing flashed in Granny Bai's eyes, as if she were thinking of a deceased friend.

Jiang Ning silently poured her a cup of cool tea and pushed it in front of Granny Bai.

Grandma Bai took the teacup and then looked at Jiang Ning.

"When are you going to the capital? Someone wants to see you!"

"Next month!" Jiang Ning said.

"Next month?" Granny Bai smiled and said, "Going to the capital next month, are you preparing to participate in the martial arts examination?"

“Yes!” Jiang Ning nodded frankly.

"With your achievements, you really should compete for it!" Granny Bai nodded, then asked, "Are you confident?"

“Yes!” Jiang Ning nodded.

"You're so decisive, you seem very confident!" Granny Bai nodded, then said, "You really should try to win the title of Martial Arts Champion. Having that title is like having an extra talisman for you. People like the Prince of Huai'an won't easily touch you. The Martial Arts Champion is the face of Great Xia, especially the newly appointed Martial Arts Champion!"

"I understand!" Jiang Ning cupped his hands in thanks, "Thank you for your guidance, Grandma!"

Then he asked, "Grandma, someone in the capital wants to see me. Who is that person?"

“Xiao Wuque!” Granny Bai said calmly.

"Xiao Wuque?" Jiang Ning was taken aback.

He had heard this name from Shen Wenyuan before.

That was the youngest disciple of the current Martial Saint, and judging from the current situation, he could be considered the Martial Saint's last disciple.

This person is also the deputy head of the Inspectorate General Office.

He held a prominent position and possessed exceptional strength, making him one of the most outstanding figures of his time.

The blood-changing technique he is currently practicing was also instructed by Xiao Wuque.

"Does Mother-in-law know why he wants to see me?" Jiang Ning asked.

Granny Bai shook her head: "I don't know!"

Shortly after.

As Granny Bai was about to leave, Jiang Ning accompanied her all the way to the gate of her mansion.

"You are imbued with the aura of your inner world. Using this as a guide, you may be able to open up your own inner world, which will open a new door for you."

Before leaving, Granny Bai left these words and then vanished from Jiang Ning's sight in an instant.

Seeing Granny Bai suddenly disappear, Jiang Ning stretched out his hand and couldn't help but smile helplessly.

He had heard about opening up one's own inner world from Shen Yueru.

But to this day, he has no way of getting in and has no idea how to start.

"However, it seems we must keep this in mind!"

"The information I received from Granny Bai about opening up the inner realm was obviously of great help to me."

"However, Granny Bai clearly did not help me in this matter!"

Thinking of this, Jiang Ning stroked his chin and nodded again.

"That makes sense, the method of inner vision must be extremely precious!"

Why should others do things for me for no reason?

"An exchange of equal value? What have I done for Granny Bai?"

He felt at peace, without any resentment.
