Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations

The shopkeeper put away the gold ingot.

“Master Bao Weijing, although he is a member of the Bao family in name, his status is quite awkward…”

After receiving the benefits, the shopkeeper told everything he knew, “His father is Bao Xinxian, the third son of the Bao Family Head. More than a decade ago, when he was young, he was a well-known playboy in the Crystal Mansion. Not only did he have a noble status, but he was also adept in martial arts. He was also handsome, which made countless girls in the Crystal Mansion swoon all over him.”

“As for Young Master Bao Weijing’s mother, she was the Head of Yingge Building. At that time, she was also smitten by Bao Xinxian, so she married Bao Xinxian and became his concubine.”

“However, although she joined the Bao family, her life was difficult. Because of her status, she was looked down upon in the Bao family and was targeted everywhere. Bao Xinxian, on the other hand, liked the new and hated the old, and still did not change his playboy ways. Under pressure from various aspects, Young Master Bao Weijing’s mother finally passed away in depression.”

“At that time, Young Master Bao Weijing was less than ten years old. But because his mother passed away, his father no longer cared about him, and the other Bao family members regarded him as a stain in the Bao family. Therefore, Young Master Bao’s life in the Bao family has been very difficult.”

“While other young masters and young mistresses are enjoying life, Young Master Bao Weijing can only eat some simple food and drink. He lives alone in a side courtyard of the Bao family mansion, and he has no servants to take care of him.”

“When he grew up and began to practice martial arts, his father Bao Xinxian gave him a month’s worth of allowance, but that amount was not enough to properly cultivate martial arts. At this point, Young Master Bao could only rely on himself to earn money and support his martial arts cultivation.”

“Every time Young Master Bao doesn’t have enough money in his hands, he will go out of the Crystal Mansion and find some escort missions to earn money. Just now, he came to the tavern to buy pancakes, just to prepare enough rations for his trip out of the city.”

The shopkeeper seemed to understand Bao Weijing’s experience very well, as he explained in detail.

“Shopkeeper, are you making this up?”

After hearing the shopkeeper’s words, Xu Ning said with a smile, “The Bao family of the Crystal Mansion is also a famous family in the southern part of State Jifeng, and backed by the Yuelan Sect, they have a strong background. This kind of family actually lets their offspring sell their strength just to earn some money, are you kidding me?”

The shopkeeper was afraid that Xu Ning would ask for the gold ingot to be returned, so he quickly explained, “I didn’t believe it when I first found out, but this is the truth.”

“Last time when Young Master Bao and his friends came to my restaurant to drink, I heard their conversation clearly.”

However, as soon as he finished speaking, the shopkeeper’s face turned red.

It was not right for him to eavesdrop on someone’s conversation and reveal their private affairs.

The shopkeeper seemed to feel guilty in his heart, so he quickly said a few good words, “However, although Young Master Bao lives a difficult life, he treats people sincerely. His friends are all from ordinary families. If his friends experience any problems, Young Master Bao will be generous and help his friends. Moreover, every time he comes to my restaurant, Young Master Bao is very humble. It was Young Master Bao who stepped forward to help when our restaurant was smashed by drunk warriors.”

However, after saying this, the shopkeeper suddenly fell silent.

He took out the gold ingot he had just received.

“Sir, I spoke too much today…”

The shopkeeper had a guilty look on his face. “This is all I can say about Young Master Bao. Please take back the money…”

Xu Ning shook his head.

The shopkeeper was blinded by gold at first, but after thinking about it for a bit longer, he showed some integrity in the end.

“Keep it.”

Xu Ning stood up. What the shopkeeper said was enough for him.

“Next time, don’t tell anyone else.”

Xu Ning left.

The shopkeeper looked at the gold ingot in a daze.

After a long time, the shopkeeper stamped his feet. “When Young Master Bao comes next time, I will definitely prepare good wine and delicacies for him!”

Xu Ning left the restaurant and did not continue to stroll around the Crystal Mansion. Instead, he started to follow Bao Weijing from a distance.

Bao Weijing didn’t realize that Xu Ning was behind him.

After Bao Weijing left the city, he walked through the wilderness and entered a village.

State Jifeng was similar to State Feiyun. There were villages around the prefecture, and the villages outside the city relied on the prefecture to develop.

The stronger the foundation of the prefecture, the more prosperous the villages were.

Not long after Bao Weijing entered the village, he came out with a carriage.

There was a bulging pile of goods on the carriage, covered by cloth.

Bao Weijing drove a carriage full of goods into the mountain road. This time, he was alone and responsible for delivering some goods to the village.

Bao Weijing was in a good mood, because the goods this time were more expensive, so the employer gave more money. After delivering the goods this time, he could buy enough spirit medicine to assist his cultivation. Once he was done with this job, he wouldn’t have to come out for two to three months.

However, although he was in a good mood, Bao Weijing was still cautious during the delivery process. When he chose to walk on the roads, he tried his best to choose places with a wide field of view.

Bao Weijing was in the mortal realm fifth stage: pneumatic realm. Although he was very weak in the Bao family, he was still a good warrior.

‘There is a high chance of bandits appearing on the road ahead. I have to be careful.’

Bao Weijing was fully focused.

Suddenly, Bao Weijing’s expression changed.

He quickly pulled the reins, in an attempt to turn around, but it was too late.

Ta! Ta! Ta!

Two groups of people suddenly rushed down from both sides of the mountain, one in front and one behind, pincering Bao Weijing.

These people were all masked, and with weapons in their hands, they pressed forward step by step.

“Trouble incoming!”

Bao Weijing was shocked. He quickly pulled out his knife and dismounted.

He didn’t dare to lose this batch of goods.

If the goods were lost, not only would Bao Weijing not be able to get any money, but he would also have to compensate them for their losses.

This was something Bao Weijing could not bear.

“My friends, please give me a way out, I am willing to pay 100 taels of silver.”

Bao Weijing said to the leader.

100 taels of silver was Bao Weijing’s pay for this delivery.

Bao Weijing no longer thought about how much money he could make from this delivery, he just hoped that nothing would go wrong.

“Kill him.”

However, the leader of the bandits ignored Bao Weijing and gave the order to kill him.

Bao Weijing was shocked.

Horse bandits usually negotiated the road payment first, so it was rare to see someone kill without hesitation.

Several figures rushed towards Bao Weijing.

Bao Weijing quickly activated his internal qi and rushed to fight.

He began to fight with this group of people.

‘These people are all using the same knife technique.They are well-trained too. They don’t look like horse bandits.’

During the fight, Bao Weijing gradually figured out their tactics.

Bao Weijing had a bad feeling when he thought about the leader’s order to kill him.

‘Could it be…’

Bao Weijing didn’t dare to think too deeply, he just focused on facing the enemies ahead.

The people who attacked Bao Weijing couldn’t hurt him.

Adding to the fact that Bao Weijing had practiced martial arts late, he also had no guidance and no resources.

However, his martial arts talent was very high. He had reached the mortal realm fifth stage, the pneumatic realm, and had cultivated an intermediate realm knife technique.

“Trash!”

When the leader saw that his subordinates couldn’t finish the job, he personally stepped forward. “Move away!”

The leader dispelled the crowd and slashed down.

Bao Weijing quickly raised his knife to defend.

Bang!

The moment the masked leader slashed at Bao Weijing, he was sent flying, vomiting blood in the air.

‘Mortal realm seventh stage, state mind realm warrior!’

Bao Weijing was full of despair.

He didn’t have the strength to fight an enemy two realms above him.

“Young Master Bao, rest in peace!”

The masked leader came to Bao Weijing and waved his big knife.

If this knife landed, Bao Weijing’s head would definitely be separated.

Poof!

There was the sound of flesh being cut.

However, it was not Bao Weijing whose flesh was cut, it was the masked leader.

The masked man fell to the ground.

In his place, a man wearing white clothes and a pure white mask appeared with a calm expression.

This was Xu Ning, who followed Bao Weijing all the way.

Xu Ning chose to rescue Bao Weijing.

Although Bao Weijing was a member of the Bao family, the Bao family had put a lot of pressure on his life.

Moreover, Bao Weijing’s status was relatively special. He was the grandson of the current Head of the Bao family. If he was used well, he might gain something unexpected.

“I was saved by this person!”

Bao Weijing reacted instantly.

The other killers who intercepted Bao Weijing quickly fled.

However, Xu Ning did not give these people a chance. With another flash of sword light, the killers surrounding Bao Weijing were all killed.

“This is…”

When Bao Weijing saw Xu Ning standing on the spot, he was shocked.

“A void realm martial artist!”

Although he was ostracized in the Bao family, he was still knowledgeable.

He knew that Xu Ning’s strength was beyond that of a mortal realm martial artist.

“Thank you for saving me, Senior!”

Bao Weijing quickly stood up and bowed respectfully to Xu Ning.

Xu Ning was wearing a mask, so Bao Weijing couldn’t tell his age, but Bao Weijing still humbly called Xu Ning senior.

“The people who are trying to assassinate you don’t seem to be ordinary horse bandits.”

Xu Ning said.

Xu Ning noticed this when those people attacked just now.

After being told that by Xu Ning, Bao Weijing suddenly thought of something.

He walked towards the corpse of the masked leader and fumbled around.

“It’s the Bao family!”

After taking out a token, Bao Weijing’s expression changed..
