Chapter 28: Thirteen Years Later

Chapter 28: Thirteen Years Later

  Time flies by, and thirteen years have passed in the blink of an eye.

Gu Changsheng leapt among the tall trees in the backyard of the Chuyun Martial Arts School, as light as a swallow. He moved as delicately as a feather, as gracefully as a swan, and as smoothly as a swimming dragon.

With his sleeves fluttering, he looked very cool.

Using his momentum, he propelled himself a great distance, finally landing gently on the top of a large tree.

  [Name: Gu Changsheng]

  [Talent: Immortality]

  [Age: 57]

  [Realm: Internal organs (Second-rate Warrior)]

  [Martial Arts: Cloud Palm - Internal organs (Beginner 1/10)]

  [Skills: Confucianism (Mastery 79/150) Medical Skills (Mastery 86/150)

Finger-Flicking Divine Arts (Minor Success 85/150) Treading on the Waves (Minor Success 30/100)]

In nineteen years, from third-rate to the beginning of second-rate.

  Year after year, wouldn't ordinary people grow old?

  The ancients said that at the age of sixty, one knows the will of heaven.

  He is now indeed white-haired and almost in his twilight years.

  Although, he was only pretending.

  The wind was still whistling in his ears, and a few strands of pale white hair passed by Gu Changsheng's eyes.

  He stood with his hands behind his back, his clothes fluttering.

  Over the past ten years, Chuyun Martial Arts School has been under his management.

  Although it is no longer one of the three major martial arts schools in Yuzhou City.

  But it is also the first martial arts school after the two major martial arts schools of Hanshan and Benlei.

  As long as there is no major accident, there should be no problem in passing it down for a few generations.

  Gu Changsheng believed he had lived up to the trust Senior Brother Lin Jun had placed in him before his death.

  And he has almost decided on the next master of the school.

  Chuyun Martial Arts School now has five major disciples.

  The eldest brother Shao Yue, the second brother Wei Min, the third brother Li Hengfeng, the fourth brother Wu Song, and the little sister He Di who was just accepted a few years ago. They are also called the Chuyun Five Proteges by the people in the Yuzhou City.

  Among them, the little sister He Di and the third brother Li Hengfeng are only inferior warriors.

  The other three are now third-rate warriors.

  I didn't expect Wu Song to come out on top.

  It was unexpected, but reasonable.

  And the person Gu Changsheng chose was exactly him.

  There are various reasons, but the most significant one is that Shao Yue and Wei Min might struggle to advance to the second-rate realm in their lifetime, whereas Wu Song shows potential to achieve it. This is the primary factor behind Gu Changsheng's decision to choose him.

  After much contemplation, for warriors, the wise are the teachers, and the strong are the respected. This truth is acknowledged by every warrior! While wisdom holds significance, when confronted with absolute strength, any scheme is merely futile and vain.

  ...

  Gu Changsheng has now entered the realm of a second-rate warrior.

He has also mastered two martial arts that have reached the level of minor success! He has finally stepped into the upper echelons of Yuzhou City.

Although no one knows it, this is the best outcome.

As long as he is not besieged by several second-rate warriors,

I'm afraid no one in this city can defeat him.

  Strength brings a sense of security, which now puts Gu Changsheng at ease.

He practices quietly, then aims to amaze everyone!

  Living an invincible life truly makes one feel as lonely as snow.

Gu Changsheng stood in the cold wind at that moment.

His eyes held a deep gaze...

  " Master!"

  More than ten years have passed. The few young men in the martial arts school who were under his protection have now grown up.

  Some have even started a family and a career.

  They are now in their thirties and can protect the martial arts school in return.

  "Please sit down."

  Gu Changsheng asked the five people to sit down.

  His eyes slowly swept over several people, and his eyes lingered on Wu Song and He Di.

  He Di is the youngest official disciple of the martial arts school, and also the younger sister to everyone.

She can't be said to be very beautiful, but she can be described as somewhat pretty.

In fact, she is quite ordinary.

  But this is also normal.

  In the martial arts world, it can't be denied that there are beautiful female warriors, but they are certainly rare.

If they are truly beautiful, they can captivate numerous heroes and young warriors if they present themselves well.

In reality, most female warrior look like this and are quite ordinary.

  There are very few female warrior who can achieve something in martial arts and look very beautiful at the same time.

  Basically, every one of them is very famous and has many suitors.

  "I called you all here this time for the future of the martial arts school."

  Gu Changsheng retracted his gaze and slowly said:

  "It's time to confirm the next master of the martial arts school."

  He got straight to the point and spoke without beating around the bush.

  "Master!"

  "Master, you..."

  Gu Changsheng raised his hand and interrupted what everyone wanted to say.

  "Time flies by, like a galloping horse, and the sun and the moon pass like falling flowers and flowing water. We all age with time. When I inherited the position of master from Senior Brother Lin Jun, it feels like just yesterday. Yet, more than ten years have passed."

  Gu Changsheng's tone was a little emotional, and then he looked at everyone and said: "The future of Chuyun Martial Arts School will always be handed over to you young people. I just hope that you will never shame the ancestors of my Chuyun Martial Arts School in the future."

  "Yes, Master!"

  Several people answered in unison.

  Gu Changsheng looked at several people, and as expected, his eyes finally stopped on Wu Song.

  "Wu Song, come out." He said to Wu Song with a smile in his eyes.

  Although he had expected and guessed it in his heart, Shao Yue was still very disappointed when he heard the name that Gu Changsheng called out at the end. His clenched fists had quietly loosened again, and the whole person was a little lost.

  As the eldest brother, he finally lost to the younger brother.

  Although he could understand Gu Changsheng's choice,

His talent was indeed not as good as Wu Song's.

However, understanding did little to alleviate the feeling of loss that still lingered within him.

  In addition to him, there was another person who felt lost.

  Wei Min.

  He was also a third-rate warrior, and the position of the master of the school could only be produced among the three of them. Anyway, it would not be Li Hengfeng and the little apprentice sister. It was not only Shao Yue who lost to Wu Song, but also him.

  Li Hengfeng and He Di were slightly surprised to hear this answer, but they quickly accepted it.

  He Di was still looking at Wu Song with little stars in his eyes.

  These two people have an unusual relationship.

  Gu Changsheng took in all the reactions of the crowd.

  He could almost discern what the several people were thinking.

It's normal. They are mature individuals; they will come to terms with it.

  But He Di's eyes...

  Gu Changsheng felt like he had been served a bitter dish, only to find it tasting like dog food.

Displaying affectionate behavior in front of him, an old man who had been single for fifty or sixty years.

Is this appropriate?!

This is not appropriate!

...

  The transfer of the position of the master of the Chuyun Martial Arts School went very smoothly.

  Wu Song also officially became the twelfth master of the Chuyun Martial Arts School.

  With Gu Changsheng still watching from behind,

  there was no trouble in the process.

  And this also means that he is about to "die".

  In other words, he is about to run away.
