Cultivating the Divine Art Wrong, Wreaking Havoc on the Jianghu – Chapter 161

Chapter 161: I Have a Friend in Yangzhou

Shi Feizhe, covered in blood, fled to a place fifty miles southeast of the Qing Shan Martial Academy.

Guan Shan and Huang Goudan were waiting for him there.

After realizing that he might have a falling out with Old Man Fan, Shi Feizhe had arranged for Guan Shan and Huang Goudan to go out and handle some matters, just in case.

The aftereffects of a battle between True Realm martial artists could easily wipe out these two See the Truth martial artists.

However, the 《True Origin Sword Finger Formula》 turned out to be unexpectedly strong after reaching greater mastery, and Old Man Fan was a bit weak.

The sudden appearance of Hua Xiaomei and Jiang Ning was nothing special.

Only Butterfly Monarch had some real skills!

If Hua Xiaocheng hadn’t suddenly appeared, he might be at the Qing Shan Martial Academy right now, making construction plans for Xiong Ba and Jiang Ning!

Damn it!

“Academy Head!” Guan Shan and Huang Goudan were doing their homework when they suddenly saw Shi Feizhe, covered in blood, barge in. They couldn’t help but exclaim in alarm.

The place where the two of them were staying was a few tile-roofed houses that Shi Feizhe had secretly had someone build here, kept for emergencies.

“Let’s go! Huang Goudan, you pack up, and Guan Shan, bandage my wounds for me! We’ll leave right away!” Shi Feizhe said to them in a weak voice.

This place was too close to the Qing Shan Martial Academy!

“Okay!” Huang Goudan said. He quickly started packing, gathering gold, silver, and other valuables.

“Then… what about the Qing Shan Martial Academy?” Guan Shan couldn’t help but ask when he saw Shi Feizhe take off his blood-stained clothes, revealing a huge wound on his body.

All four of his limbs had been pierced, and there was a huge sword mark on his chest, making one wonder if he had been split in half.

The wounds were no longer bleeding much, partly because Shi Feizhe had used his internal energy to seal them, and partly because he didn’t have much blood left!

“The Qing Shan Martial Academy… let’s leave it with them for now!” Shi Feizhe said. “We’ll get it back when my injuries are healed.”

Guan Shan was bandaging Shi Feizhe’s wounds with linen cloth. Looking at the huge wound, he couldn’t help but shed tears and say, “Academy Head, is it… is it my fault that the Qing Shan Martial Academy is gone?”

The Qing Shan Martial Academy was the most comfortable place he had ever been in all these years. No one forced him to steal, cheat, or bully others. No one taught him how to deceive people into becoming “Grand Medicine,” and no one treated them as cannon fodder, fighting alongside other gangs.

All they did was let him study hard and live with dignity.

He had a sense of anxiety; he was afraid that his bad luck would bring misfortune to the Qing Shan Martial Academy.

Many times, he wanted to just leave. He only hoped that the Qing Shan Martial Academy could exist forever. But, he really liked the Qing Shan Martial Academy.

He couldn’t bear to part with it.

Now, hearing Academy Head Shi say that the Qing Shan Martial Academy was gone, immense psychological pressure weighed down on him, making him burst into tears.

He felt very guilty.

“What nonsense are you talking about!” Shi Feizhe looked at the tearful Guan Shan and said, “As long as I’m alive, the Qing Shan Martial Academy will still exist! We’re just making a strategic retreat. One day, we’ll come back!”

“Really?” Guan Shan wiped his tears and said.

“Really!” Shi Feizhe nodded.

“Great!” Guan Shan was overjoyed!

Huang Goudan finished packing the bags and asked, “Academy Head, where are we going?”

“To Jing Province, then to Yangzhou!” Shi Feizhe felt dizzy and his voice was much weaker. “First, we’ll recuperate, then I’m going to find a certain bastard and give him hell!”

“I’ve been putting up with that bastard for years!” He gritted his teeth.

“Then let’s go to Yangzhou! Academy Head, I’ll carry you on my back! Goudan, you carry the bags!” Guan Shan picked up Shi Feizhe and said to Huang Goudan.

Shi Feizhe didn’t refuse. He felt an overwhelming fatigue.

In the previous battle, he had first been severely injured by Hua Xiaocheng, then burned his own blood, and finally used Hua Xiaocheng’s sword energy to escape.

After the blood burning ended, he had felt weak all over. He had been holding on until now, but his vision was already blurry.

He was too weak.

“Keep a low profile…” Shi Feizhe passed out on Guan Shan’s back.

When Shi Feizhe woke up again, he found himself lying on a flatbed cart, covered with a straw mat.

“…”

You’re pretending I don’t know about this custom, right?

Is this what you call keeping a low profile?

Is this how things are done?

Shi Feizhe tried to sit up, but his whole body ached, making him groan.

As anyone who has been injured knows, you’re usually okay on the day of the injury, but after a night’s sleep, you feel much worse.

This was the case with Shi Feizhe right now. Especially since his body was extremely anemic, he was very weak.

Huang Goudan, who was beside the cart, heard a noise under the mat and quickly pulled it open. “Brother Guan, Academy Head is awake!” he said.

Guan Shan, who was pulling the cart, heard the commotion behind him and quickly stopped the cart. “Academy Head, you’re awake! You’ve been unconscious for two days!” he said.

“Oh~ Where are we?” Shi Feizhe raised his hand to shield his eyes.

“Jing Province! We should reach Jiangling in a few days.” As Guan Shan spoke, he helped Shi Feizhe sit up on the cart.

Seeing the straw mat and paper money on the cart, and the white diamond-shaped knots hanging from the branches of a tree, Shi Feizhe couldn’t help but say, “Why didn’t you just buy a coffin? I’d be more comfortable lying in one!”

“I thought about it, but for some reason, coffins have become more expensive recently!” Guan Shan said. “And with a coffin, I wouldn’t be able to pull the cart. I’d have to buy a carriage, and then Goudan and I would have to pull it together. It would be too tiring.”

Huang Goudan added, “Academy Head, you always told us to be frugal.”

“…”

There were too many things wrong with their words, Shi Feizhe didn’t want to comment.

“Let’s go! Let’s continue to Jiangling! After Jiangling, we’ll be in Yangzhou in about ten days!” Shi Feizhe lay back down and said, “I have a friend in Yangzhou. I miss him very much!”

“You have so many friends!” Guan Shan said as he started pulling the cart again.

“Not too many.” After saying that, Shi Feizhe closed his eyes and began to circulate his energy, trying to recover from his injuries.

The three of them continued on their journey, taking turns pulling the cart during the day and Shi Feizhe keeping watch at night.

On the fourth day, they arrived at the north bank of Jiangling.

Jiangling was a city along the river, located south of the Great River. The scenery in Jiangling was completely different from the other cities Shi Feizhe had seen.

Large and small boats were sailing on the Great River, with fishing boats, cargo ships, multi-storied ships, and passenger ships coming and going in an endless stream, giving it a feeling of “a thousand sails passing by.”

The three of them were at a ferry crossing, preparing to take a boat across the Great River to the south and enter Jiangling.

“Hey! Such a long river, and no one has built a bridge!” Seeing the rolling water of the Great River and that crossing the river relied solely on boats, Shi Feizhe couldn’t help but say.

“Academy Head! This river is several miles wide. How long would a bridge have to be? Wouldn’t that be too difficult?” Huang Goudan said, looking at the vast expanse of water.

Born in the north, he was seeing such a wide river for the first time. He could only vaguely see the opposite bank.

Thinking of Yuan Jiuzhong rubbing sand into jade with his bare hands, and the earth-shattering scene of his battle with Hua Chonglang, Shi Feizhe said, “Goudan, building a bridge isn’t about how difficult it is, but about whether you have the determination to build it!”

Shi Feizhe gritted his teeth: I have a friend! （ Most of the time it’s three chapters, occasionally there are four chapters, and there will be even more chapters when it gets a recommendation spot next week! ）
