Imperial henchmen? Never been struck by the sword of the Six Doors (a secret police agency).

After the Chu family incident, Qingfeng City seemed to remain the same, but there was something different about it.

It is said that Lin Jin of the Lin family joined some prestigious sect, and Lin Ling also left the Lin family.

The Li family, on the other hand, was even more comfortable than before.

Li Junsu continued practicing martial arts and cultivating goodwill.

......

Spring returns to the courtyard.

"Did you eat well during those days in the suburbs?" Zhen Min asked the handsome young man in front of him in a calm tone.

"Yes, Mother. This is a beauty pill I obtained in the suburbs. Please accept it." Li Junsu nodded and then took out a porcelain bottle.

The maid behind Zhen Min gasped for breath.

Beauty pills, the elixir that keeps you looking young forever!

Every woman in the world knows the fame of the beauty-enhancing elixir.

"Thank you." A hint of surprise flashed in Zhen Min's eyes, then she smiled at the young man.

"Mother, if there's nothing else, I'm going to practice martial arts now," Li Junsu said, scratching his head.

He always felt unconsciously awkward around Zhen Min, after all, she wasn't his biological mother, and he always felt like he was being taken advantage of when she called him "mother".

“Okay, go ahead,” Zhen Min nodded and said.

After Li Junsu left.

"The quality is not bad." Zhen Min smiled as he looked at the pill, and then swallowed it like a candy.

......

Gentleman's Courtyard

"Mother, what are you doing here?" Li Junsu asked He Sui, who was chatting and laughing with Li Junyi at the door.

"Can't I come to see you if there's nothing wrong?" He Sui said to her son with a hint of annoyance.

“Okay, I’m going to practice martial arts.” Li Junsu nodded and then walked into the courtyard.

"Hey, wait a minute." He Sui grabbed Li Junsu.

"Is something the matter, Mother?" Li Junsu asked He Sui with some confusion.

"Look, aren't my wrinkles gone?" He Sui asked narcissistically, touching her cheek.

Li Junsu was speechless. So he came here to show off after taking the beauty pill.

"Mother, you don't have wrinkles to begin with. I'm going to get busy now." Li Junsu said, then gently broke free and left.

"Auntie, I'm leaving too." Li Junyi quickly slipped away upon seeing this.

"Tsk... He's right, I'm naturally beautiful." He Sui said self-satisfiedly, standing there.

"My son is going to become an official." Then, He Sui thought about her job at the Six Doors with a sense of contentment.

"We can just move into his house then," He Sui murmured, thinking about the future.

To ordinary people, the Six Doors was one of the most prestigious jobs, as it meant serving as an official in the imperial court.

......

In the courtyard.

"Why don't you come to the Hidden Sword Pavilion with me?" Li Junyi sat at the stone table, propping his chin up as he looked at Li Junsu.

She was very unhappy; the thought of being separated from her younger brother for the next few years made her uncomfortable.

"Sister Yi, only through the Six Doors will I have more opportunities to demonstrate my skills." A flash of cold light appeared in Li Junsu's hand, and the originally sturdy meteorite iron broke completely in two.

"That's true, but..." Upon hearing this, Li Junyi slumped listlessly on the stone table, muttering something.

"Sister Yi, once I become a chief constable in the Six Doors, you can come and be a junior constable under me." Li Junsu looked at Li Junyi and began to deceive her.

"Really?" Li Junyi's eyes lit up upon hearing this, and she sat up straight expectantly.

"Really." Li Junsu nodded with a smile.

Of course, he was lying to his silly older sister. Joining the Hidden Sword Pavilion meant becoming a disciple, so how could they let you go so easily? Whether it was the resources they provided or the techniques you learned, all of these came from the sect's money and manpower.

But... at least the sect offers some protection. Li Junsu would never allow Li Junyi to join the Six Doors with him. The Six Doors' lack of background checks means that the people inside are a mixed bag, not to mention the factions and power struggles that exist in every place.

Li Junsu was already an expert in all of these things, but Li Junyi was not, and he had no foundation, so it was impossible for him to take care of Li Junyi completely.

Although sects have many rules, their security is guaranteed, at least much safer than the Six Doors.

“You said it was a promise!” Li Junyi interrupted Li Junsu’s thoughts, pointing at Li Junsu.

"Yes, I said okay," Li Junsu said with a faint smile.

"Then you mustn't engage in concubines or any other shady dealings," Li Junyi instructed again.

"Okay," Li Junsu nodded and said.

"Men should prioritize their careers and are not allowed to talk about love, understand?" Li Junyi added, as if remembering something else.

“Okay,” Li Junsu said.

"That's more like it." Li Junyi nodded in satisfaction.

My younger brother is so outstanding, of course I have to patiently give him advice.

Then, Li Junyi drew her longsword, wanting to spar with Li Junsu. This was her request; she felt that her swordsmanship had reached an unparalleled level, and it was time to teach her younger brother.

Okay, actually she just thought Li Junhao was too bad, and Junsu was much better, so she came to learn from him.

The days passed by slowly like this.

......

On a bright and sunny morning, at the ancestral hall.

"From today onwards, you are the nineteenth generation descendant of the Li family, with the character 'Jun' in your name. Your name is Junsu, and your courtesy name is Weiyuan." Li Qingfeng looked at Li Junsu kneeling in the center of the main hall and flicked his whisk.

The elders nodded in satisfaction upon hearing Li Junsu's new name.

Li Yinian looked at Li Junsu with mixed feelings.

Li Junyi cheered for Li Junsu, and Li Junhao also smiled.

Li Junhao was extremely satisfied; this was what his younger brother deserved.

Zhen Min watched Li Junsu stand up and shook her head helplessly. Sometimes she really wanted to switch Li Junhao and Li Junsu.

(Li Junhao: ?)

He Sui was so excited she almost jumped up. Her son would not only become an official in the Six Doors, but his name would also be changed and included in the family genealogy. It was such a great honor for her.

The brief ceremony ended quickly.

Time flies by.

the first year

He sparred with the eldest sister, taught her, and gained Zhen Min's favor.

the second year

He sparred with his elder brothers and sisters, taught them, and received guidance from Li Qingfeng.

......

The day of parting arrived quickly. On the day of departure, her older brother and sister left first. Li Junsu comforted Li Junyi, who was clinging to him and refusing to let go, for a long time before she left, turning back every few steps.

Before leaving, he kept urging Li Junsu to become a chief constable, confusing the Li family. Only Li Junsu smiled helplessly at his words.

Li Junsu also learned that Zhen Min's father was actually an outer elder of the Hidden Sword Pavilion, which was why there were two spots for the two of them.

After being guided by Li Qingfeng for a year, Li Junsu vaguely understood what level everyone had reached.

The term "master" is also known as "masterful demeanor." Once you choose a path and reach its pinnacle, you can become a master. Li Junsu chose the saber, so if he wanted to switch to swordsmanship later, his foundation would be destroyed, which would be a great loss. Therefore, Li Qingfeng told Li Junsu to decide on the path he wanted to take before trying to break through that barrier.

Having put aside his thoughts, Li Junsu walked into the hall.

......

hall

"Grandpa, is there something you need from me?" Li Junsu asked softly, looking at Li Qingfeng sitting in the main seat.

"Jun Su, I have good news and bad news. Which would you like to hear first?" Li Qingfeng asked with a smile.

"Okay," Li Junsu said simply.

"The good news is that Bianyun City in Jiannan Circuit is short of a chief constable, so you can go and take charge," Li Qingfeng replied with a smile.

"Was the chief constable assassinated or...?" Upon hearing this, Li Junsu knew it couldn't be anything good and asked with a stern expression.

“That’s clever. But it’s not that the chief constable was assassinated. Rather, it’s that the new chief constable of Jiannan Circuit is very aggressive towards the martial arts sects. Bianyun City is also close to the border, and the people are very fierce. The sects are also…” Li Qingfeng paused after speaking and took a sip of tea.

“Moreover, the chief constable of each city is at least at the Grandmaster level. If you go there and cannot win over the people…” Li Qingfeng then reminded Li Junsu.

"I'll go." Upon hearing this, a glint of light flashed in Li Junsu's eyes.

"Jun Su!" the Grand Elder couldn't help but exclaim.

“No risk, no reward. My journey begins here,” Li Junsu said in a deep voice, his words carrying great weight.

"Very good, go pack your things, we'll set off in a couple of days," Li Qingfeng said, taking a sip of tea.

"Yes," Li Junsu said, bowing slightly.

After Li Junsu left

"Brother! Is Bianyun City even fit for human habitation?!" The eldest elder couldn't help but question his elder brother.

"He chose this path himself, and besides... do you really think he's that bad? He's quite adept at it in the suburbs." Li Qingfeng said casually, as if it were a trivial matter.

Li Junsu's methods and temperament are no less than those of the monstrous talents of the sects. Coupled with his terrifying comprehension, Li Qingfeng is very at ease with Li Junsu.

And the other side

.......

"Li Junsu... I hope you can bring about some different kind of miracle." The man with a long scar at the corner of his eye said gently as he looked at the letter.

"The martial world... bullshit." Then, the man stood with his hands behind his back, looking at the drizzling rain outside the window, thinking with murderous intent.
