In the world of martial arts, grind your skill level to become a saint.

"What happened?"

Everyone stared at the departing carriage, momentarily stunned.

But soon some senior disciples dispersed the disciples gathered at the entrance, telling them to leave quickly and not to stand at the entrance and discuss things.

Su Hao looked in the direction the carriage had left and recognized the person who had come out of the women's quarters earlier.

It was none other than Liu Jun, the daughter of Master Liu.

Judging from the expression on their faces when they came out, they had clearly been in the middle of a heated argument.

And now that Teacher Liu isn't in the men's college, the identity of the person who can argue with Liu Jun is quite obvious.

However, Su Hao was not a gossipy person, and he wasn't very interested in these things.

Without wasting any time, Su Hao left the boxing gym and headed to Hongqiao Town.

Upon arriving in Hongqiao Town, Su Hao put on the prepared clothes and, as usual, went to the place where he had met the horse-faced man before.

As usual, the other party was already waiting there early.

Upon seeing Su Hao arrive, he quickly stepped forward to greet him.

"You've finally arrived..."

"Alright, everything's here, no need for any further introductions..."

Su Hao interrupted the other person and took out the manuscript he had prepared in advance from his pocket.

"Haha! You're really getting to know me better and better!"

The horse-faced man wasn't annoyed by being interrupted; he chuckled and took the manuscript.

He was surprised to find that there were even more of them than before, and then he began to examine them carefully.

Su Hao stood aside and waited.

After a moment, the horse-faced man looked up at Su Hao, his face full of admiration, "I truly admire you. I've been in this business for ten years, and this is the first time I've seen someone write a book to this standard. Do you know? The book's reputation has already spread to the inner city!"

"Has the message reached the inner city?"

Su Hao was also taken aback.

Yanshan City is divided into an outer city and an inner city. Ordinary people are generally prohibited from entering the inner city, so most of the residents are high-ranking officials and nobles. News from inside the inner city rarely reaches the outer city.

The things in the outer city were equally undesirable to the gentlemen in the inner city.

Su Hao never expected that something he wrote casually would generate such a large amount of traffic.

"So you're earning more now?"

After pondering for a moment, Su Hao asked.

Whether the book is in the inner city or the outer city, as long as it can make him money, it doesn't matter.

He only cares about how much money he makes, not who's watching.

After all, I had already identified my target audience before writing these things, so I wasn't worried about no one reading them.

"Hey! Can you stop focusing on the immediate future? If you could increase your output, you'd be rich by now. Do you know the Inner City Martial Arts Alliance? If your book becomes popular in those circles, you'll be set for life!"

The man with the horse-like face looked somewhat disappointed.

Indeed, as he said, if Su Hao could produce more content to satisfy the reading desires of the gentry in the inner city, then the money would flow in like water, and they wouldn't care about these paltry sums now.

I've brought up this issue countless times, but the other party remains unmoved, consistently updating only once every three days, with the quantity depending on their mood.

Sometimes he really wanted to borrow the other person's brain and, day and night, work like a slave to write down all those ideas he could never have thought of.

Unfortunately, that was impossible. He had tried to imitate it, but it was clear he couldn't do it.

He often asked himself why he wasn't a genius.

Su Hao shrugged, indicating that he was powerless to help.

He didn't know what the Martial Arts Alliance was either.

He has addressed this issue many times, and whether he can write it down sometimes depends on his state of mind.

"Forget it! Anyway, you're not short of money now, this is enough for you to eat and drink for a long time."

The horse-faced man waved his hand and then took out a money bag that was larger and heavier than usual from his pocket.

Su Hao took it, opened it, and found it was full of broken silver and copper coins, roughly estimated to be four or five taels!

Compared to the dozen or so copper coins they had at the beginning, this harvest was truly increasing.

"See you next time!"

Seeing that he couldn't persuade Su Hao, the horse-faced man stopped talking, gave him the money, and turned to leave.

Su Hao nodded, watched the other person walk away, and then prepared to go to the market to take a stroll.

In fact, he knew nothing about the horse-faced man's identity, only that the man's surname was Ma.

He didn't know how the other party sold his books, or how they got to know so many people who could afford to buy them.

I happened to be browsing the market when I saw someone selling some erotic books. I picked one up and glanced at it, only to find out what kind of nonsense it was.

He developed this way of making money by thinking, "I can do it too," and that's how he met this person.

After working with them for some time, he found that they were indeed a good person and extremely trustworthy.

That's why we've continued to cooperate.

As Su Hao walked through the somewhat crowded market, he pondered what the Martial Arts Alliance that the man had mentioned earlier was all about.

Su Hao was unclear about the power structure of Yanshan City. He was not even familiar with the outer city where he stayed every day, let alone the Martial Arts Alliance in the inner city.

Before he knew it, Su Hao stopped in front of a bustling restaurant.

Fuquan Restaurant is a famous restaurant in the entire Hongqiao Town. It is famous for its salty and fragrant braised duck, attracting many diners. It is always bustling with customers.

Of course, Su Hao's purpose in coming tonight was not for the braised duck, because he had already eaten it yesterday and it tasted really good.

Fuquan Restaurant is a bustling place with many customers every day, and it is also a place where news spreads.

He came here to inquire about the inner city, the outer city, and the area outside the city.

After all, the court is in turmoil, there are bandits and refugees outside the city, an epidemic is spreading, gangs are everywhere inside the city, and heretics are causing trouble.

Su Hao didn't think that joining Yueshan Boxing Academy and becoming a formal disciple would guarantee him a worry-free life.

Sometimes having more information means having more options, and Su Hao firmly believes that in extreme situations, the only person you can rely on is yourself!

Upon entering the restaurant, Su Hao did not choose a private room, but instead sat down in the most spacious corner of the hall.

I ordered a plate of braised duck, a bowl of braised beef, stir-fried vegetables, and a bucket of rice from the waiter.

While eating, Su Hao listened to the conversations and discussions of the diners around him.

After listening for only fifteen minutes, Su Hao became somewhat disappointed.

He found that the people around him were either bragging and joking or complaining and grumbling. The topics they talked about were nothing more than the corruption and incompetence of the government, the ruthlessness and tyranny of gangs, and their own poverty and hardship.

However, Su Hao did not come away empty-handed. At least he heard that the imperial court was going to crack down on the Nestorian Church members who had been causing trouble in the city, and that some towns in the outer city had begun to experience outbreaks of disease.

After putting down his chopsticks and finishing his meal, Su Hao glanced at the empty bowls and plates on the table, then got up to pay the bill and head home.

Just as he was about to ask the waiter for the bill, his gaze fell on the staircase leading to the private room on the second floor.

There, he saw a woman in black training clothes, and several men and women dressed in luxurious clothes, slowly walking down the stairs.

Su Hao's gaze shifted slightly, and he discovered that the woman in the black training clothes was actually Liu Jun, Liu Shi's daughter.
