Doomsday: Gain experience by hunting

Lin Shi had suffered a sudden and significant upheaval, and someone had just struck her in her most vulnerable spot.

Just as she was panicking and at a loss, hearing Tang Wen's comforting voice was like hearing celestial music.

She raised her tearful almond eyes, glanced gratefully at Tang Wen, and quickly said, "Those are my family members, they really have nothing to do with this matter, Lord Shuiyun, please investigate!"

The beauty was tearful and pitiful.

Shuiyun remained unmoved: "Put away your tricks for fooling men, I'll find out the truth with a simple investigation."

Feeling her hostility, how could Lin Shi be at ease?

Her heart pounded, wanting to look at Tang Wen, but hesitating to speak.

Shuiyun urged, "First, explain why the people in the photos, who you say are your family, were hidden in the secret room?"

The people from the Juyan Martial Hall also nodded, they wanted to know as well.

Lin Shi hesitated, seemingly wanting to hide something.

Tang Wen comforted her, "Think carefully, the portrait has been obtained, and Liu Bing has gone to investigate with it recently, can things be hidden?"

After speaking, he took the lead and walked towards the secret room, but was grabbed by Shuiyun, who glared at him.

How could she feel comfortable, even though Lin Shi was at most a plaything?

The two of them ended up at the back.

Tang Wen secretly hooked her finger.

"Senior Sister, if you don't like it, I don't want this woman anymore."

Shuiyun snorted softly: "A charming young woman, readily available, you really don't want her?"

"She's not even half as good as Senior Sister." Tang Wen reached out to hug her waist.

Her lithe waist recoiled, dodging his hand.

"Go, what kind of occasion is this. Let's go! That idiot Zhao Zhe dared to have designs on you, this woman should be your slave for life!"

Shuiyun was a natural-born superior, her view of good and evil was very different from ordinary people.

Zhao Zhe had done such a thing, offended Tang Wen, so naturally his whole family should be implicated.

Due to the special nature of the matter.

Zhao Zhe might not die in the end.

The title of the Blackwater Gang's young master was very valuable.

Zhao Zhe couldn't just die as soon as the Juyan Martial Hall came looking for him.

Wouldn't that mean the Blackwater Gang was inferior to the Juyan Martial Hall?

Okay, although in terms of strength it really was inferior.

But face couldn't be lost.

People had to see that Zhao Zhe had made a big mistake, causing turmoil throughout the city, but the Blackwater Gang was strong and took responsibility, saving his life!

In this way, the Blackwater Gang would appear strong and very humane, able to protect its own people.

A group of people arrived at Lin Shi's room, entering the secret room that resembled a boudoir.

Once inside, Tang Wen noticed that Lin Shi relaxed, and without waiting to be asked, she nestled on the sofa and said, "I confess, there's a problem with my identity."

Knock, knock, knock.

Her words were interrupted by a knock on the door.

Someone brought a file from outside.

With such a big event, the Blackwater Gang's Enforcement Hall reacted quickly.

All of the young master's faction were under review.

His wife, Lin Shi, was the first to be suspected.

As the young master's wife, and possibly having the opportunity to become the gang leader's wife, the Enforcement Hall had always kept her file.

Shuiyun took it and smiled: "What a coincidence, Lin Shi, your identity profile."

After speaking, she handed it to Tang Wen.

Lin Shi slumped softly on the stool, swallowed, and said in a dry voice, "What I want to confess is precisely my identity."

"Heh! You sure know how to pick your timing." Shuiyun sneered.

The two transcendents from the Juyan Martial Hall, a man and a woman, looked at Lin Shi with suspicion.

"Tell us about it." Tang Wen said calmly.

Lin Shi quickly said: "I am not from a declining martial arts family, in fact, I am just an ordinary girl who grew up in the mining camp near Ganshan City. By chance, I met Zhao Zhe, and then tried to become his bed partner."

"What method did you use?" Shuiyun seemed interested.

Lin Shi pursed her lips, first glancing at Tang Wen.

At this time, four people were interrogating her, but she could see it.

Shuiyun disliked her, but not really disliked her, just didn't like her because she was Zhao Zhe's wife.

In other words, this young lady didn't care about her at all.

She didn't care at all whether she lived or died.

The two from the Juyan Martial Hall didn't care about her life or death either.

They just wanted to confirm that she didn't know about today's events, and then they would leave.

Proving this was difficult and easy.

It was difficult because there was no way to prove it herself.

It was easy because as long as Zhao Zhe used the 'Heart Questioning Stone', it would be clear immediately that she didn't know.

But Zhao Zhe would probably be crippled in the future.

As Zhao Zhe's wife.

Could she have a good ending?

But there was still hope, in this Seventh Young Master.

He seemed to have some affection for her, and she could use that.

It was with this in mind that Lin Shi didn't dare to speak.

She was afraid that once she said how she had painstakingly become Zhao Zhe's wife.

Then her image as a gentle and virtuous wife would turn into that of a treacherous and scheming woman.

Would Tang Wen still have a good impression of her and speak up for her?

Meeting her gaze, Tang Wen said calmly: "Madam, just say what you have to say, there's no need to worry."

He secretly transmitted his voice to Shuiyun and complained, "Senior Sister, this Lin Shi doesn't seem very smart. At this time, what is she still worrying about?"

Shuiyun smiled: "A beautiful young woman turning into a scheming woman, you don't want her anymore?"

Tang Wen couldn't understand her thought process, he was a straight man, who cared if the other party was scheming!

As long as she had the right heart—chest, that was enough.

Lin Shi lowered her head and began to narrate.

At that time, Zhao Zhe was still a martial master, a genius martial master.

He got the job of guarding the mine, practicing, drinking, and playing with women in the mine camp.

Lin Shi originally wanted to get close to him, using her beauty to impress him.

But she soon discovered that he looked down on the women in the camp, and changed women every few days.

At most, he would give them some wealth.

This was far from what Lin Shi had imagined.

She didn't give up, first observing for a while, and then began to package herself.

She disguised herself as a female warrior from a martial arts family.

Furthermore, she was indifferent to Zhao Zhe, who came to curry favor with her.

Although she often appeared at the same tavern and restaurant as him, she just ignored him.

Zhao Zhe had ulterior motives, but she noticed them in advance and left.

Knowing that he was from Ganshan City, Lin Shi also went to Ganshan City.

She studied martial arts in Ganshan City and encountered Zhao Zhe near the Blackwater Gang.

Zhao Zhe threw money, martial arts manuals, and resources at her, but she ignored him.

After that, he couldn't forget her even more, and pestered her for two years.

Lin Shi then "finally moved" and proposed a condition: "Only if we get married."

Speaking of this, Lin Shi seemed a little proud.

She wanted to curl up the corners of her mouth, but restrained herself.

She remembered her current situation.

It was also thanks to Zhao Zhe and this marriage.

The two transcendents from the Juyan Martial Hall looked surprised, not expecting the woman in front of them to be so scheming.

Lin Shi was very pleased with this gaze, but when she turned her eyes, she saw Shuiyun shaking her head slightly, with a look of disdain.

She looked down on Lin Shi, and Lin Shi also had opinions about her, this young lady.

Lin Shi: "Not everyone has a good environment, we children from ordinary families, just living takes all our effort! I was eighteen years old when I first sat in a carriage. And some people are born with dozens or hundreds of carriages!"

Tang Wen: She's complaining about the unfairness of fate.

But it depends on who you compare yourself to.

Comparing upwards, it seems like your fate is not good.

But looking down, how many people who can't get enough to eat would envy your beauty and background.

Hearing her meaning, Shuiyun said: "You want to say that compared to me, your fate is not good?"

The others were silent.

Lin Shi seemed to have given up completely: "Yes! If I were you, I could do better, at least not worse than you."

A touch of mockery appeared on Shuiyun's face:

"You're not old, you don't train diligently.

After marrying into the Zhao family, you didn't practice hard at all, and you became a peak martial master, touching the threshold of transcendence.

This shows that your martial arts talent is not bad, at least exceeding 90% of people.

Back then, you only needed to join any of the five major forces, and put your mind to seducing men into practicing martial arts, and you would probably be a transcendent now!

Do you know where your spring is!"

Tang Wen smiled.

Lin Shi was speechless.

Shuiyun said: "Stop talking nonsense! Tell me about your affairs with the Huang family."

"Zhao Zhe has always been very close to the Huang family, going there today was just a routine visit to build relationships"

The newest novel is first published on Liu Jiu Shu Ba!

"How much do you know about the person underground?"

Lin Shi thought for a while and said in a tone of recollection:

"I don't know how it started specifically, the underground secret room has always been there.

It was there before I married into the family.

At first, I didn't know he was from the Huang family.

Zhao Zhe told me to call that person 'Lord Feng', saying he was a master he had recruited.

Later, as my knowledge opened up and I had more contact with him.

I realized that this person's identity was not right.

I built this secret room because someone was living underground, and I had no sense of security in my bedroom at all."

The two from the Juyan Martial Hall looked at each other, and the female transcendent asked: "He has always lived underground?"

"No, of course not, a sixth-rank master, appearing and disappearing unpredictably, I rarely saw him. By the way, he should have a physical defect, I never saw Zhao Zhe arrange a woman for him."

The male transcendent from the Juyan Martial Hall nodded: "It is said that when Huang Shiqi Lang escaped back then, he was injured in his roots, very thoroughly."

So that's the matter, then that's right.

Lin Shi was in a trance for a moment, telling everything she knew one by one.

"Two young masters, Zhao Zhe has confessed."

A deputy hall master from the Seven Kill Hall came in to inform them.

"What did he say?" The two from the Juyan Martial Hall were full of concern.

"It has been basically confirmed that Zhao Zhe and Lin Shi have nothing to do with this matter. It should have been done by that Huang Shiqi Lang alone."

As soon as the two from the Juyan Martial Hall heard this, they immediately bid farewell and left.

Tang Wen looked at Lin Shi and sighed: "Your fate is indeed not good."

Lin Shi panicked and grabbed his hand: "I have nothing to do with this!"

"Your husband concealed someone who should not have been concealed. He must bear the responsibility he should bear." Tang Wen withdrew his hand and turned around neatly.

"Lock her up here first." Shuiyun instructed.

From then on, Lin Shi was sealed in the small courtyard where the maid lived.

The Blackwater Gang had to take responsibility for this matter.

Zhao Zhe was crippled and, together with Lin Shi, was confined in the courtyard.

They could not enter or leave at will, and the food they ate also contained Soft Fragrance Powder.

After eating the Soft Fragrance Powder, even transcendents would feel weak and unable to concentrate, unable to exert their proper combat power.

Then, the Blackwater Gang dispatched five sixth-rank masters and fifteen transcendents to assist the Juyan Martial Hall in searching for Huang Shiqi Lang's whereabouts all over the mountains and plains.

Doing so was tantamount to finding a needle in a haystack.

But the Blackwater Gang couldn't refuse, they couldn't come up with purple pearl honey.

The Juyan Martial Hall didn't lack any other supplies.

Even fifth-rank blood marrow, they didn't care about, with one sentence, they just wanted manpower to help, the things must be found back.

Blocked at the door by four fifth-rank powerhouses, Shui Qianjun had to agree.

Only in this way did the Blackwater Gang's manpower become somewhat insufficient.

In addition, with the fall of the eldest young master, there was a vacuum in the high-level power.

Tang Wen had no choice but to come out and do things.

Who could have imagined that stealing a purple pearl honey would have such a big impact.

The city was tightly checked inside and out, and he didn't dare to transfer the honey out of the city.

Even going to see the featherless hummingbirds was done secretly.

Fortunately, honey seemed to be much more important than hummingbirds.

The Juyan Martial Hall was focused on searching for Huang Shiqi's whereabouts inside and outside the city, and didn't notice that the hummingbirds were missing at all.

It was also possible that there were too many hummingbirds, and they couldn't tell if a hundred were missing.

"The three mines, 30,000 acres of fertile land, 10,000 acres of orchards, three brothels, and one prison that Zhao Zhe was originally responsible for... Seventh Young Master, now you are responsible for these."

Old Liu from the Enforcement Hall, holding the files, checked them with Tang Wen one by one.

The latter frowned, looking like he had a headache.

Tang Wen: This is not the script I imagined.

When Zhao Zhe falls, shouldn't others stand up and seize power, how could so many industries fall into my hands?

Can't I give them to Senior Sister?

There's no need to ask this, he can guess that it's not possible.

Recently, the elders and deputy gang leaders of the eldest young master's faction have all stepped back and showed goodwill to Shuiyun.

Shuiyun is much busier than him.

"Seventh Young Master!" Old Liu's tone became serious.

"I'll call someone to handle it, I'll call someone. Liang Yu, Shui Mo, you two come and take over these industries, there must be no mistakes!"

Liang Yu and the female housekeeper didn't dare to say much, and stepped forward to receive the information with their heads lowered.

Deputy Gang Leader Liu's face was stern, and the corners of his eyes twitched: The gang's Fourth Young Master claimed to be a martial arts fanatic, but he was a fake martial arts fanatic, this Seventh Young Master is the real martial arts fanatic who only wants to retreat and doesn't want to manage things!

Throwing such a huge power to two female martial masters?

How could he think of that!

Tang Wen was able to take over these, and no one in the gang dared to compete with him.

Besides Zhao Zhe being tragically framed by him, it was also because he himself was too promising.

Recently, the gang suffered losses, and the atmosphere was depressed.

The gang leader simply announced the news of Tang Wen's breakthrough to transcendence.

Good heavens!

An eighteen-year-old transcendent.

None of the three major families in the inner city had such a genius.

Everyone was immediately excited.

But facing the benefits, who would dare to compete with him?

Even if they didn't consider themselves, they had to consider their juniors and descendants, right?

"Boy! Can you really manage it well, if you don't want to do it, change someone as soon as possible."

The eldest young master became a young master the earliest, and his power was the largest among the young masters. He had as many as ten thousand slaves and subordinates.

"Yes, yes, yes!" Tang Wen wasn't stupid enough to give up his power.

"Zhao Zhe had several transcendents under him, martial masters can't hold the fort."

The implication was clear: don't even think about slacking off and letting the two women handle it.

Tang Wen knew they couldn't manage it, so he asked, "Who's the troublemaker? I'll deal with one first."

Old Liu smirked, pointed to a spot on the Blackwater Gang's map, and tapped it twice: "I sent people to scout them out. A Sand Salt Camp and a White Tiger Village."

"Oh?" Tang Wen didn't understand what was so formidable about them.

Old Liu explained, "The reason they're considered troublemakers is that these two forces only recognize Zhao Zhe. And they have some strength. The leader of the Sand Salt Camp, Sha Kui, practices dark arts and should be at the peak of Extraordinary, a half-step into the sixth rank."

He paused after speaking, watching Tang Wen's expression.

Tang Wen: Only a half-step into the sixth rank?

If they dare to cause trouble, I'll wipe them out.

Old Liu, assuming he wanted to borrow strength, warned, "You entered the Extraordinary realm at eighteen, while he's over fifty. He might not personally attack you, and even if he does, there will be restrictions on his moves. As long as you endure, he'll acknowledge you. But you can't bring gang experts to suppress him, otherwise, he won't be your subordinate!"

"Understood."

"The Sand Salt Camp are outsiders who settled down in the southernmost salt mine. There are thirteen of them in total, known as the Thirteen Sand Sea Bandits."

"All Extraordinary?" Tang Wen's heart stirred: One against thirteen, I'm under a lot of pressure.

"How is that possible? Five Extraordinary, and the rest are at least first-rate martial masters!"

Hearing there were five Extraordinary, Tang Wen no longer took it to heart: "What about the other place?"

Old Liu scoffed: Young people only learn when they suffer.

He continued, "The White Tiger Village is a village that has been around since ancient times, practicing wind-based techniques. What's special is that the affairs of their village are managed by women."

Tang Wen's eyes lit up: "Old Liu, tell me more."
