Chapter 351: Chapter 320: Lower Official Wu Qingfeng, Greeting the Superior! (Extra)_2 Chapter 351: Chapter 320: Lower Official Wu Qingfeng, Greeting the Superior! (Extra)_2 He was already equivalent to a Magistrate of a prefecture, and due to his martial prowess, his power even surpassed that of officials at the Magistrate level.
Wu Qingfeng and the others naturally did not dare to be the slightest bit disrespectful. He tossed and turned, unable to sleep last night, and after much deliberation, he felt that he should take the initiative to pay a visit,
even if Chen Yuan was displeased, he probably would not bla them for the intrusion.
But if they acted as if they were unaware, and if the other party felt displeased, it could an losing their heads—a matter of great magnitude for them.
He even dared not send soone to look for Wang Ping, for fear that the other party might currently be together.
“Wu County Magistrate thinks too highly of himself, I had plans to visit you instead, how could I let an old superior visit ?” Chen Yuan said with a light smile on his face.
There indeed had been so minor grudges between Wu Qingfeng and him, but when Chen Yuan was about to be transferred away, they laughed it off and settled their differences,
and the other party even gave him a few tips before he left.
Wu Qingfeng said it was so, but in his heart, he thought otherwise. Saying ‘I,’ if he truly didn’t co to visit, waiting for the other party to visit him, he would then have to face a setback.
County Magistrate Shi Yang stood by respectfully, showing no signs of impatience whatsoever.
Looking at Chen Yuan, who appeared as immovable as a mountain, radiating with an imnse aura of authority, Wu Qingfeng felt sowhat dazed, as if he was seeing the respectful deanor Chen Yuan had towards him the day before.
Although he had been steady then, compared to now, it was a change as vast as that between heaven and earth. He could hardly believe it was the sa person.
Last year, before Chen Yuan left, he had thought perhaps Chen Yuan would develop further, possibly erging like a dragon entering the sea, ascending rapidly. Yet, he had ultimately miscalculated.
The speed and extent of the other party’s rise were beyond his imagination.
Within just over half a year, positioned just outside of being a Green Envoy, donning clothing decorated with green patterns and with overpowering authority, his colleagues back in Nanling Prefecture had told him about Chen Yuan’s undertakings.
At that ti, he was so shocked that his jaw almost dropped…
And that was just in half a year. What about after one year? Or ten years?
What realm would Chen Yuan then reach?
Perhaps by that ti, he would be at a level utterly beyond his own reach.
After chatting for a bit, Chen Yuan said:
“I am rely passing through this ti; I initially had no intention of disturbing the county governnt. The banquet that Wu County Magistrate ntioned should be set aside; it can wait until another day when we are both free.”
“Yes, yes, you have myriad matters to attend to every day, it was my intrusion,” said Wu Qingfeng, smiling on his face but sighing in his heart, initially hoping to use this opportunity to foster relations, but now there was no hope.
As for the ‘another day’ Chen Yuan ntioned, such words were purely perfunctory, but what could he do? Did he dare to climb up the ladder provided?
After speaking with Wu Qingfeng, Chen Yuan turned his gaze to the ever-so-respectful Shi Yang of Ping’an County, saying:
“Shi County Magistrate.”
“What are your orders, sir?” Shi Yang promptly bowed.
“Wang Ping is a younger brother by my side, unwilling to leave with . Within our capacity, I hope you could provide him so care,” Chen Yuan said with narrowed eyes.
Shi Yang: “Rest assured, Sir Chen, I will definitely keep it in mind. Wang Ping is inherently talented and decisive, precisely the kind of officer that the county governnt focuses on nurturing,
and taking over my position in the future will be an easy feat.”
“Good, I thank you in advance,” Chen Yuan smiled.
“It’s only right,” Shi Yang hurriedly squeezed out a smile.
Only a Martial Artist could sense another Martial Artist’s power. In his perception, Chen Yuan appeared like a boundless, profound sea, imnse like a towering mountain.
Such vast differences are only understood through experience.
After so light conversation, Chen Yuan did not invite them to his humble abode but simply saw them off, informing Wu Qingfeng and the others that he had tasks to handle and would not be staying long in Ping’an County.
“If that’s the case, then your subordinate will take his leave,” Wu Qingfeng bowed.
“Your subordinate takes his leave.”
“Your subordinate takes his leave…”
Everyone receded like the tide, and in the blink of an eye, only Chen Yuan was left in the Chen family courtyard, and he then turned around, locked the door, and left.
Stepping out of the courtyard, facing the neighbors who gathered curiously yet hesitantly, Chen Yuan bowed slightly, said a few courteous words, and went on his way.
The crowd quickly cleared a path.
Only once Chen Yuan’s figure had completely disappeared did so murmurs begin among the people.
“That Chen family lad truly made sothing of himself!”
“Yes, even the County Magistrate bowed down to him, what a high-ranking official he must be!”
“Such a pity for little Fang, she missed out on climbing up the ladder.”
“Old Chen can probably rest easy now, when he sent Chen Yuan to the governnt office to beco a constable back then, who knew this day would co.”
“Hey, now that you ntioned it, I almost forgot what Old Chen looks like.”
“What could he look like? Isn’t it just… ah… I kind of forgot too, you didn’t ntion him, and I almost forgot such a person ever existed. That shouldn’t be the case, I’m not old and senile yet. Back then, I used to play chess with Old Chen under that tree over there all the ti.”
“I kind of feel the sa, it always feels like I’ve forgotten Old Chen.”
“Maybe it’s because he’s been dead for so many years.”
“It’s only been over two years… now that you ntion it, I rember Old Chen knew a bit about calligraphy and painting. He painted a peony that looked so real, even butterflies were attracted to it.”
“Nonsense, Old Chen was never that skilled.”
“Exactly, exactly.”
“Really, would the old man make up a lie to fool you guys?”
“Then where’s the evidence, the painting?”
“Ah, I rember Old Chen burned the painting…”
“See, it must have been fake, just bragging about his old friendship with Old Chen. Too bad it’s too late now, young Chen Yuan has made it big already.”
“Hahahaha…”
…
…
Outside the Sanhe Boxing Club.
Chen Yuan walked up to the entrance with Wang Ping calmly. Zhao Nanshan’s eldest disciple, Guo Xu, approached them respectfully and awkwardly said:
“Master Chen, the master is waiting for you in the backyard, asking to fetch you.”
“No need for formalities.”
Chen Yuan smiled kindly. Guo Xu looked the sa as before, though he had improved his cultivation quite a bit. Unfortunately, he was still sowhat lacking compared to Wang Ping.
Following Guo Xu, many disciples from the Sanhe Boxing Club turned to look at them, but were scolded by Guo Xu.
Upon entering the backyard, Zhao Beishan and his three brothers were sitting next to Zhao Nanshan, apparently talking. When they saw Chen Yuan enter the backyard, they quickly stood up to greet him.
Waving his hand, Chen Yuan strode up to Zhao Nanshan, who still looked the sa as before, with wrinkled skin and gray hair like an old man.
However, his eyes were still very sharp. He looked Chen Yuan up and down and said very ordinarily:
“You’re here?”
“Yes, I’m here.”
Chen Yuan did not engage in much nicety and directly sat opposite Zhao Nanshan, with Guo Xu hurriedly serving him tea.
“Beishan has told quite a lot about you, you’ve done well,” Zhao Nanshan exclaid, feeling an indescribable emotion swelling in his heart.
He had not expected Chen Yuan to achieve so much, especially his rapid rise to power and even avenging his greatest enemy by annihilating the entire Dragon Tiger Sect.
Reach Profound Cultivation’s Old Xu also died at his hands, truly a case of the new waves overpowering the old ones….
“It’s just a pity that we haven’t found the Black Jade Discontinuation Ointnt yet.”
“There’s no need to worry about that. My revenge is fulfilled, and I have no more worries now. Running the boxing club is quite good, tranquil and carefree for the rest of my life.”
“You sure see things clearly.”
“What else can I do? At this point, it’s you who should be cautious. Though you are now much stronger than I ever was, always rember that there are always taller mountains and stronger people. Don’t underestimate anyone.”
“Don’t worry, do you still not know my character? I’m always cautious.”
“That’s true…” Zhao Nanshan laughed lightly and casually looked at Chen Yuan asking:
“Planning to take a post in Tangshan Prefecture?”
“Yes.”
Chen Yuan nodded.
“Be very careful there, the martial spirit is strong, and martial artists are generally fierce. Back in my youth, I road there and even clashed with a gang called the Vegetable Knife Gang once….”
