Lin Xiaofei had already memorized the moves and the power of the wrist in the Eighteen Swords of Gale. Then the two of them continued pushing the cart toward the herb market.
The two pushed the large cart along the way, with Lin Xiaofei occasionally asking Wang Shan questions about various sword techniques.
"Uncle Wang, you mentioned Steward Liu earlier. What kind of person is he?"
Pushing the large cart, Lin Xiaofei asked.
He was curious. He didn't know what kind of person Steward Liu was. If he handed the letter to Steward Liu, would the man genuinely help him? He really didn't know, since the letter was originally for Wang Shan, not for him.
"Within our gang, Steward Liu is a unique person."
He started as a menial disciple, and through a chance encounter, he rose through the ranks, eventually becoming the head steward within fifteen years. Even some of the gang's leaders had to give him face, making him a notable figure in the entire Qingshan Town.
He has an exceptionally good head for making money. Half of the profits from the Pill Pavilion go to him, and he also owns a large restaurant, a pawnshop, and the herbal medicine farm.
He has both status and resources. If you give him the letter, he will definitely help you, at least enough to free you from your status as a menial disciple. This will give you more time to cultivate. I estimate that you will only need ten years to reach a level I cannot access.”
Wang Shan spoke with a look of envy on his face.
His talent was limited. He had been in the gang for over twenty years without gaining anyone's appreciation and hadn't fared very well. He was somewhat envious of Lin Xiaofei's talent in martial arts.
"Uncle Wang, thank you so much for your help. I will remember this."
"If this letter can truly free me from my status as a menial disciple, you can come to me if you ever need anything. As long as it's within my ability, I'll help you."
Lin Xiaofei said with a serious expression.
Although Wang Shan was retiring from the martial arts world, he felt that if Wang Shan ever encountered trouble in the future, he would try his best to help within his ability.
Without Wang Shan's letter, it would have been difficult for him to get in touch with the higher-ups in the gang in a short time. After all, he was just a kid, and who would care about him?
As they spoke, the two soon arrived near the herb market. From afar, they could see an exquisite carriage and more than a dozen outer disciples standing on either side of the gate, each with a sword at their waist.
"Your chance has come."
"Look at that carriage, it belongs to Steward Liu. I think they're here to collect a month's profits from the herb market. You should go directly to Master Bai at the gate."
Wang Shan's eyes lit up as he pointed to the exquisite carriage in front of him.
Lin Xiaofei nodded, looked over, and understood what the other person meant.
Wang Shan wanted him to contact Steward Liu right now and hand over a letter he had.
Then, Lin Xiaofei walked over with a smile. Standing at the entrance of the herb market was an elderly man with white hair. As Lin Xiaofei approached, he asked, "What's the matter?"
"Greetings, Second Master Bai. My name is Lin Xiaofei. I have a letter to deliver to Steward Liu. May I come in and meet with Steward Liu?"
Lin Xiaofei said with a respectful expression.
"Wait outside first."
After saying this, Master Bai turned and went into the herb garden to report.
Lin Xiaofei stood in front of the herb market without saying a word, patiently waiting.
Wang Shan entered the herb market through the other gate to retrieve the herbs.
After a while, a person came out of the herb market. Master Bai glanced at him and said indifferently, "The master is in a good mood today and is willing to see guests. Let's go."
"Thank you very much, Second Master Bai."
Lin Xiaofei bowed and thanked him.
He followed behind Master Bai into the familiar herb garden, feeling a little nervous. Then, Master Bai led him into a room.
Arriving at a door, stepping inside, one sees a thin, middle-aged man standing beside a wooden shelf displaying medicinal herbs, holding a small ginseng root in his hand, inhaling its aroma as if enjoying it.
"Master Liu, the person has been brought."
Master Bai stepped forward, bowed, said something, and then quickly stepped aside.
Steward Liu turned around, glanced at Lin Xiaofei, and said indifferently, "I'm in a good mood today. Didn't you give me a letter? Let me take a look."
"yes!"
Lin Xiaofei responded and took out a letter from his pocket, handing it over.
Official Liu took the letter and began to read it.
“I have read the contents of the letter. It was Wang Shan who asked you to bring it to me. Considering that Wang Shan once saved my life, I can help you this once.”
Wang Shan also said that you are a person with extremely high talent in martial arts.
Since arriving at the Medicine Pavilion, you've been chopping wood in the backyard, simultaneously practicing the Azure Peak Leg technique. You've already reached the minor completion stage of the Azure Peak Leg in less than fifty days.
As he spoke, Steward Liu's eyes darted around, a hint of interest appearing in them. He then looked at Lin Xiaofei, who was standing next to Master Bai, and sized him up before saying, "Show me a set of Qingfeng Leg moves."
"yes."
Lin Xiaofei responded.
Although he didn't know why he was being asked to use the Green Peak Leg technique, he knew that this might be an opportunity. Whether he could get Liu Daguan's help depended on his performance.
Without hesitation, he took three steps back, stood in a slightly more spacious place, and unleashed the Lesser Green Peak Leg technique.
"Sweeping the long legs seven times, the lower body is very stable, it is indeed that the Green Peak Leg has been mastered to a minor level."
Steward Liu spoke softly, then turned to look at Master Bai, nodding his head slightly and giving him a wink.
Master Bai didn't speak, just nodded and turned to leave.
Manager Liu had been in the gang for twenty years and had worked hard to get to his current position. Although Lin Xiaofei had given him Wang Shan's letter, he still needed to know Lin Xiaofei's background. Otherwise, he would have just given him some money to get rid of him.
Therefore, let Master Bai investigate and find out the other party's background so that we can know who he helped.
Then, he continued to stand and inspect the medicinal herbs in the herb garden until Master Bai returned, at which point he stopped.
"Sir, we've found out everything; their origins are clean."
Master Bai walked up to Steward Liu, leaned close to his ear, and whispered something.
Upon hearing this, Steward Liu nodded and then smiled.
"Wang Shan is such a good person. Not only is he my savior, but he has also sent me a martial arts prodigy. He knows that I like all kinds of talents. He really understands me."
"You, Lin Xiaofei, possess such a martial arts genius, a once-in-twenty-years talent, and today it has come before me—truly a wonderful thing!"
Looking at Lin Xiaofei, Steward Liu paused, then asked, "Where is Wang Shanren now?"
"Reporting to Steward Liu, Uncle Wang left Qingshan Town yesterday."
Lin Xiaofei quickly replied. This was a statement Wang Shan had made to him earlier at the entrance of the herb market, as Wang Shan did not want to see Steward Liu.
"I never imagined he had been hiding in Qingshan Town all along."
Steward Liu said something in a low voice and fell into deep thought, as if he was thinking about something.
