Chapter 46: Is This How You Treat Someone When You Ask For Help?

Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios

Clang!?A saber light tore through the sky like a dragon soaring through the nine heavens.

The leader in black could only see a beam of dazzling white light.

“Who exactly are you?” he muttered to himself as the long saber above his head broke into two. Following this, blood appeared between his brows and spread continuously like ink-stained paper.

Then he crashed to the ground, dead.

“He’s really weak,” Zhou Shu mumbled.

If the leader hadn’t already died, he would definitely have vomited blood from anger.?You’ve already killed me, and you still call me weak?

Zhou Shu threw the badly damaged Huben Saber on the ground and looked at the corpses on the ground. Only then did he feel his lungs churning.

It had only been a short while since Cheng Yong’s group left. They probably hadn’t even reached the capital yet.

Had I known these men in black were so weak, I wouldn’t have gotten them to leave first.

If they stayed, it would have been easier to clean up the battlefield, right?

But then again, there’s nothing to clean up on this battlefield.

The Huben Sabers left behind by the Huben Troops were no longer intact. When he killed the men in black, Zhou Shu had used up all the Huben Sabers.

Killing men in black with one slash and one weapon each was indeed quite satisfying, but it was also quite expensive.

If only they had been Hundred Refinements Ring Pommel Sabers or Horse Slaying Sabers…

At least, they wouldn’t have broken so easily.

Zhou Shu thought about it and decided to leave these corpses for the Huben Troops to deal with. Cheng Yong’s group would probably send people over soon.

In any case, this place was in the wilderness, and no one would come here anytime soon.

At the thought of this, he wasn’t willing to stay any longer. He took big strides and headed toward the capital.

Although Zhou Shu had fought a great battle, he didn’t feel the slightest bit tired. Instead, he felt as if his entire body was full of energy.

This wasn’t surprising. The men in black weren’t even ranked martial artists, and they were pitifully weak. To Zhou Shu, they were just ordinary people he could kill with one slash.

Furthermore, killing one had rewarded him with two years of cultivation.

Not only did he not spend much effort, but he even increased his cultivation by decades. How could he not feel good?

In order not to run into Cheng Yong’s group, Zhou Shu deliberately took a detour and ran back to the 0th Workshop to change his clothes. Then he ran to the Drunken Immortal Inn.

It was rare for Sun Gongping to treat him, so Zhou Shu didn’t want to let go of this opportunity.

While Zhou Shu was ordering food and drinks at the Drunken Immortal Inn, the Huben Troops’ commander, Cheng Wanli, and the Divine Constable Bureau’s chief constable, Ma Fengzhang, had already rushed to the place where the Huben Troops had been attacked.

“Brother Ma, we came too late.” Cheng Wanli looked at the scene of the tragic situation, his eyes full of sorrow.

The corpses of the Huben Troops made his heart bleed.

These were all his sons, sons he had spent so much effort to nurture.

Damn it!

“General Cheng, my condolences.” Ma Fengzhang sighed. “The Huben Troops received orders to find traitors, but we never expected them to encounter such a calamity.

“It’s my fault. I didn’t realize that such a power was lurking in Great Xia. I will seek forgiveness from His Majesty.”

“This isn’t your fault, Brother Ma. The enemy is too cunning!” Cheng Wanli gritted his teeth. “Who would have thought that they would launch a suicide attack in the capital just to stall for time!”

“I just find it a little strange. They made such a big commotion just to kill Huben Troops? General Cheng, with all due respect, the Huben Troops don’t seem to have such value,” Ma Fengzhang said.

“I know my limits.” Cheng Wanli smiled bitterly. “The Huben Troops aren’t worth the enemy spending so much to deal with.”

The other party had started a riot in the capital, and more than ten ranked experts had their identities exposed. If it was just to deal with the Huben Troops, it was completely unnecessary.

The Huben Troops were just formed, and there were only a few thousand of them. They were not even ranked within Great Xia’s armies.

No matter how they looked at it, dealing with the Huben Troops wasn’t worth the price.

“Ask Cheng Yong and the others later, and we’ll know why.

“I’m a little curious now. Who saved Cheng Yong?”

Cheng Wanli’s gaze fell on the men in black. It was these people who had made his Huben Troops suffer heavy losses. He wished he could kill them again!

“General Cheng, take a look at the wounds on these men…” Ma Fengzhang pointed at the bodies of the men in black.

Cheng Wanli calmed down and looked at the wounds carefully. A moment later, a thoughtful look flashed across his eyes. “This—

“That senior?”

“From the saber intent, yes.” Ma Fengzhang nodded.

“General Cheng, it seems that your Huben Troops are fated with this person.”

Ma Fengzhang pondered. “What is his motive for hiding in the capital?”

As the head of the Divine Constable Bureau, Ma Fengzhang had an unknown ‘god’ entrenched in the capital. Just thinking about it made him feel a bit scared.

However, Cheng Wanli didn’t seem to care. “No matter what this senior’s purpose is, he has no ill intentions toward Great Xia.

“First, he prevented the leak of the Huben Saber’s secret forging formula, and now he saved my brothers. He is the great benefactor of my Huben Troops!”

“You missed something else,” Ma Fengzhang said. “He even helped you become a ranked martial artist.”

Cheng Wanli nodded. “I will never forget this senior’s great kindness!”

If not for the blade marks left behind by this senior in the Saber Cave, Cheng Wanli wouldn’t have been able to comprehend saber intent and break through to ninth-rank martial artist. To him, this favor had made him a new man.

Ma Fengzhang contemplated for a moment but still couldn’t understand.

From the looks of it, this mysterious master had helped Great Xia twice. Furthermore, the Saber Cave and blade marks he had left behind were extremely beneficial to the low-level martial artists of Great Xia. No matter how one looked at it, he had nothing but kindness toward Great Xia.

However, Ma Fengzhang still made up his mind to find out who this mysterious expert was.

It wasn’t that he wanted to do anything to the other party. But as the Divine Constable Bureau’s head, he could only feel at ease when he had an idea of the uncontrollable factors that could affect the capital.

Let us not mention how Cheng Wanli and Ma Fengzhang dealt with the aftermath.

…

Sun Gongping, in the Drunken Immortal Inn in the capital, was dumbfounded as he looked at the table full of leftovers.

Sun Gongping rubbed his eyes and asked in disbelief. “Did you eat all of this?”

“Didn’t you tell me to eat whatever I want?” Zhou Shu shrugged.

“The Drunken Immortal Inn’s food and drinks are indeed much better than our workshop’s. I accidentally ate a bit more.

“Great Divine Constable Sun, are you going back on your word?

“If you really want to go back on your word, it’s fine. I’ll pay the bill myself. At most, when I tell others in the future…”

“Bullshit! I said I’d treat you.” Sun Gongping stared at him. “Do you think I won’t be able to afford it? Eat! Eat as much as you want! Are you full? If not, order more!”

“Really?”

Sun Gongping was startled.?Are you really going to eat more?

“Then, I’ll order some more.”

Without waiting for Sun Gongping to speak, Zhou Shu called the waiter over and ordered another six dishes. The common thing these dishes shared was that they were filling and expensive!

Sun Gongping’s heart was bleeding.?Damn it, will Old Ma reimburse me?

If he dares not to reimburse me, I will fight him!

Sun Gongping felt indignant. The food and drinks at the Drunken Immortal Inn were extremely expensive. Even he felt his heart ache whenever he ate here.

Old Zhou ordered so much just because he doesn’t have to pay. Can he really eat so much?

The stack of plates is taller than him!

Zhou Shu didn’t think too much about it. His cultivation had suddenly increased by several decades, and because his strength soared, he felt hungry.

He was so hungry that he saw stars!

If he didn’t eat now, when would be a better chance to eat?

“Oh right, Great Divine Constable Sun, what happened just now? Did a war break out?” Zhou Shu asked even though he knew.

“It’s nothing.” Sun Gongping started chewing on his food with a vengeance. “Even if a war breaks out, it won’t reach the capital. Great General Meng is already preparing to set off.

“Previously, it was just a few small fleas that jumped out to cause trouble. They were already killed.”

Sun Gongping said boldly, “They must be blind to have the guts to cause trouble in the capital of Great Xia. If I arrived sooner, I would have sent them on their way first!”

“Is that so?” Zhou Shu was deep in thought.?It seems that something indeed happened in the capital, which is why no one went to help Cheng Yong’s group.

But from the sound of it, nothing major happened. After all, the Great Xia Imperial Court isn’t weak.

“Speaking of which, Old Zhou, there will probably be business coming your Forging Division’s way.” Sun Gongping chuckled.

“Before I came here, I heard that the Huben Troops have benefited from this disaster. They will probably expand their forces later. When that happens, their demand for Huben Sabers will definitely increase.”

Zhou Shu nodded. From what he saw, the Huben Sabers of Cheng Yong’s group were all damaged. They definitely needed to purchase a batch of Huben Sabers.

“Old Zhou, you’ve had your fill of food and drinks. Have you considered the weapon?”

Sun Gongping continued, “This time, not only will the Huben Troops be affected, but our Divine Constable Bureau will also be reprimanded by His Majesty. According to my understanding of Old Ma, the Divine Constable Bureau will definitely make a big move!

“If you can help the Divine Constable Bureau develop a unique weapon, I can guarantee that you will make a killing!”

“Didn’t I tell you? Forging weapons requires inspiration.” Zhou Shu was dumbfounded. “This isn’t something that can be developed just because I want to. Would you dare to use a random saber I forged? A saber not only has to look good, but there are many other professional things involved. You wouldn’t understand even if I told you.”

“Only useless people find excuses!” Sun Gongping said disdainfully. “Aren’t you known as a forging genius? You can’t even do such a small thing! Just tell me. Are you going to do it or not!”

Zhou Shu was speechless.?When did I become known as a forging genius? It’s all because of you, okay? Is this how you treat someone when you ask for help?

“Damn it. Fine, but I have a condition,” Zhou Shu said unhappily.. “I really like the food and drinks here. In the future, I’ll have them send me a table of food and drink every day, and your Divine Constable Bureau will pay for it!”
