Guys like Li Ping are tough and not soft, but Shen Xisheng’s fists are hard enough, so it’s easy to defeat the opponent.

In the next few days, Shen Xisheng became a little busy.

He first threw Li Ping to nearby Hetong Town and found a long-term laborer doing manual labor, which put him on the right track.

After that, he had to deal with the children's learning problems. He compiled some knowledge in advance and then found Xiao Tang.

Xiao Tang is the fastest among these children to learn, and through [Smart Eyes] Shen Xisheng also knows that there is a high probability that the other party will become a businessman.

He let Xiao Tang learn this knowledge in advance and asked him to guide other children on his behalf.

After arranging these things, Shen Xisheng and Mrs. Xu set a date to pick up Li Jian.

This morning, Shen Xisheng arrived at Li Jian's house early with his baggage.

"Xiao Shen, I appreciate your kindness, but I really can't accept the money!"

Mrs. Xu pushed the bag in Shen Xisheng's hand back and refused categorically.

That’s one hundred taels of silver, and if you think about it carefully, it’s enough for an ordinary person to live for many years!

Shen Xisheng also immediately pushed the bag back and said righteously:

"As the saying goes, immortals and mortals are separated by two. It is difficult for Xiao Li to come back after entering the immortal gate.

I am the one who made the decision, and you will naturally have to make up for the lack of workers in your family!"

What he said also came from the sincerity.

Having children join the Immortal Sect may sound glamorous to mortals, but in fact, it also lacks the backbone of work.

Shen Xisheng had selfish motives in asking Li Jian to join the Immortal Sect. After all, he wanted to gain more causal points.

He was not short of money to begin with, but now he feels guilty if he does not compensate Mrs. Xu.

After a lot of talking, Shen Xisheng finally convinced Mrs. Xu to accept the money.

"Xiao Li, kowtow to Brother Shen!"

Mrs. Xu led Li Jian out of the house, brought him to Shen Xisheng and kowtowed three times.

This is Mrs. Xu's compromise condition, and Shen Xisheng can no longer refuse.

The mother and son had a good conversation before parting.

As a mother, Mrs. Xu is reluctant to give up, but she still hopes that Li Jian can go higher.

Finally, Mrs. Xu watched with tears as Shen Xisheng left with her son.

......

Zhongzhou.

Lingshui City.

Pay attention to the inn.

"Brother Shen, what is it like in Tianjian Valley you mentioned?"

Li Jian leaned his upper body on the table and curiously asked about Shen Xisheng.

He has lived in this city with Shen Xisheng for many years, and the sadness of separation from his mother has gradually faded.

Hearing this, Shen Xisheng put down the teacup in his hand and turned to look at Li Jian.

Based on the information he obtained, he gave Li Jian a rough description of the situation in Xiatian Sword Valley:

"That day the Sword Valley was located in the Seven Swords Mountains, with seven main peaks rising from the ground that could penetrate the clouds and mist.

The woodcutter who was chopping firewood in the nearby mountains would occasionally see immortals wielding swords going in and out of the mountains and forests.

Not only that, the sound of swords can be heard from time to time in the Seven Swords Mountain, resounding through the sky.

After you are selected into Tianjian Valley, you will naturally know what it is like."

Seven Swords Mountain is too far away from them, so it is naturally impossible to go there and directly become a disciple of Tianjian Valley.

But fortunately, Tianjian Valley will send people to recruit disciples in fixed towns. Once the disciples are selected, they will be taken into the mountain gate.

The Lingshui City where they are now is a recruitment point in Tianjian Valley.

By asking around, Shen Xisheng also knows that the selection for Tianjian Valley is tomorrow.

"The idle Wang Ergou became a blacksmith under your awakening, causality point 5."

At this moment, the system's voice suddenly sounded in Shen Xisheng's mind.

After he saw the news, he smiled and said to Li Jian:

"Someone wants to treat us to dinner today at noon."

Li Jian's eyes widened and he said doubtfully:

"Brother Shen, we don't have any acquaintances in this city, right?

Why would someone invite us to dinner out of nowhere?"

"Just wait, someone will come to your door soon."

Seeing that Shen Xisheng was showing off, Li Jian also became interested and began to look around the inn.

It was almost noon, and he still didn't find anyone coming to look for them.

Just when Li Jian quickly thought that Shen Xisheng was bragging, a young man wearing a blacksmith's uniform walked into the inn in a hurry.

"Brother Wang, we are here."

When Shen Xisheng saw this young man, he quickly waved and shouted.

When Wang Ergou heard Shen Xisheng's voice, his eyes suddenly lit up:

"Brother Shen, you are simply my lucky star!"

He walked quickly to Shen Xisheng's side, took the other person's arm and tried to pull him out:

"Don't say anything, I'm treating you to lunch today."

Li Jian on the side was shocked when he saw this scene. He asked in disbelief:

"Brother Shen, isn't this the thief who tried to steal our things some time ago?"

Upon hearing Li Jian's question, Wang Ergou turned around and scratched his head in embarrassment:

"Hey, that happened before, I'm an official blacksmith now!"

It turned out that when Shen Xisheng and the others had just settled in the inn, Ergou, a street gangster in the city, wanted to steal from the two of them.

But he was quickly caught by Shen Xisheng.

When Shen Xisheng saw that he had a talent for forging, he used his fist mantra to influence him and let him find a job in the blacksmith shop.

After Wang Ergou followed the advice to test the water, he seemed to have opened up a new world and began to focus on forging.

Today he was recognized by his master and became a full-time apprentice.

Facing Wang Ergou's thank you, Shen Xisheng just pulled him to his side and sat down, saying:

"If you want to treat us, just order here.

You haven’t even received your wages yet, so don’t waste your time.”

Seeing that Shen Xisheng took care of himself in such a way regardless of previous suspicions, Wang Ergou admired him from the bottom of his heart.

He is obviously a younger boy than himself, but he is like an old gentleman who is guiding the future.

So Wang Ergou called the waiter and asked for some food and wine, and the three of them had lunch in the inn.

"Xiao Li, you're not old enough to drink yet."

Seeing the little guy looking at the jug eagerly, Shen Xisheng gently patted the other person's head with his hand.

"By the way, Brother Shen and this kid are not locals.

I wonder why you two came to Lingshui City?"

Wang Ergou asked while picking up food for Shen Xisheng.

"Oh, the two of us are from the escort agency. This is the child of my father's friend, and we are brothers and sisters.

Now I follow the instructions of my elders and bring him out specially to gain more knowledge."

Li Jian couldn't help but roll his eyes when he saw Shen Xisheng telling lies with ease and a chicken drumstick stuffed in his mouth.

I didn’t expect Brother Shen to be so good at lying.

But he is smart and understands that Shen Xisheng is considering the safety of the two of them.

When you meet someone, you should only speak a few words, but don’t give everything away.

And Shen Xisheng also had his own considerations in what he said.

In order to protect himself in this life, he exchanged 100 causal points for a non-permanent [Martial Arts Master] buff.

The non-permanent gains from this type of exchange will be returned as causal points after the end of the life, so there is no need to worry about wasting it.
