Stop flattering me, system! I'm about to become a saint!

Chapter 49 Wild Ideas

Hearing Sun Tao's concerns, Yang Song nodded repeatedly: "Commander, I understand. I won't do anything reckless again."

He felt there was no need to argue about it; it would be better to pretend to admit his mistake and let the matter drop.

Sun Tao couldn't help but glance at Yang Song a few more times, and said with lingering fear, "You're really brave. Aren't you afraid of dying?"

"At the time, I wanted to rid the people of harm and also wanted to stimulate the medicinal power in my body to nourish my muscles and bones, so I didn't think too much about it."

Sun Tao frowned and couldn't help but start criticizing Yang Song.

Sun Tao lived for over thirty years and spent over twenty years of hard work before he barely managed to cultivate to the late stage of the Outer Gang realm.

To acknowledge his efforts, you attributed your rapid advancement in cultivation entirely to a fortuitous encounter, completely denying the hard work you put in every day.

Why do you always sacrifice yourself to please others?

How could someone as foolish as you exist in this world?

[Reward: Seven days of cultivation points]

Even after the system finished speaking, Sun Tao continued to ramble on.

After scolding Yang Song several times, he said with a mixture of concern and warning, "Don't ever act recklessly again. If it weren't for the rare and precious herbs that saved you, you would have lost your life at Black Wind Stronghold!"

"Yes."

Yang Song obediently complied.

Only then did Sun Tao remember his business and ask, "What urgent matter do you have to discuss with me?"

That's right.

Yang Song revealed that the Blissful Sect had passed on its skills to the Black Wind Stronghold, and that they wanted to rob tax silver and overthrow the True Martial Sect.

"Pfft."

Upon hearing this, Sun Tao couldn't help but let out a sneer, and then burst into laughter.

"Overthrow the True Martial Sect?"

"Ha ha ha ha……"

Sun Tao laughed so hard he almost fell over; he had never heard such a funny joke in his life.

"A mere sect like the Blissful Paradise dares to dream of overthrowing the True Martial Sect? Do they really think their thousand-year-old foundation is just for show?"

"A bunch of scoundrels practicing evil arts, what a pipe dream! They're so arrogant they don't even know their own limitations!"

Yang Song wholeheartedly agreed with Sun Tao's words.

In the eyes of the Zhenwu Sect, the Blissful Sect was probably just a bunch of fleas that could be easily crushed with a single hand.

"but……"

Sun Tao changed the subject: "Although the Blissful Sect's idea is far-fetched, what they have done is no small matter. We should go find the adults now."

"it is good."

Yang Song then lifted Luo Taihe off the ground and followed Sun Tao southwards.

In the south of the city, there was a cluster of grand mansions where all the residents were either rich or noble, and each family was extremely impressive.

Sun Tao stopped in front of one of the mansions and knocked on the vermilion gate.

A short while later, an old voice came from inside.

Who is it?

"Uncle Zhu, it's me, Sun Tao."

Upon hearing this, the people inside quickly opened the door.

"Xiao Sun, what brings you here so late at night?"

"Is the master asleep? I have urgent business with him."

"I just went to bed. What happened?"

Sun Tao said, "It's about the Blissful Sect. I'd like to discuss it with you, sir."

Upon hearing that it was the Blissful Religion, Zhu Bo immediately realized that this matter was of utmost importance.

"Wait for me to close the door."

He closed the gate and bolted it before leading the way to the backyard.

On the way, Sun Tao turned to Yang Song and whispered, "Uncle Zhu is the master's old steward. He has served the master his whole life."

When he left Zhenwu Sect, the master bought Zhu Bo a house and left him a large sum of money, hoping that he could live there and enjoy his old age.

But Zhu Bo absolutely refused, insisting on coming to Anping with the adults.

"When you see Uncle Zhu in the future, you must be very polite and never put on airs."

Yang Song chuckled and said, "Commander, don't worry, I've never been the kind of person who likes to show off."

Sun Tao is obsequious to his superiors and domineering to his subordinates, so he assumes that you are the same as him and that you must distinguish between superiors and inferiors in your actions.

How absurd and laughable!

You treat everyone equally, regardless of their status, and never let their sincerity affect your interactions with others.

[Reward: Five days' worth of cultivation points]

As they were talking, the group arrived at Pang Jianxiong's bedroom.

Uncle Zhu stepped forward, knocked on the door, and softly called out, "Master."

From inside the house, Pang Jianxiong's voice came: "Uncle Zhu, what's wrong?"

"Master, my son has come to see you. He says he has something to report about the Blissful Sect."

"The Blissful Religion?"

Pang Jianxiong made a puzzled sound and sat up from the bed.

He put on his coat, walked to the door, and opened it.

"grown ups."

Sun Tao immediately clasped his hands in a salute.

Yang Song also abandoned Luo Taihe and clasped his hands in a salute.

Pang Jianxiong shifted his gaze to Yang Song and asked in surprise, "Yang Song, what brings you here?"

Then he looked at Luo Taihe and asked, "And who is this person?"

"Sir, it's like this."

Sun Tao recounted how Yang Song stormed Black Wind Stronghold at night, defeated the bandits, and captured Luo Taihe.

When Yang Song's cultivation level broke through again, Pang Jianxiong could not hide his shock.

For him, this was equally unbelievable.

Later, when the topic turned to the Blissful Sect spreading its teachings to various mountain strongholds and its intention to rob tax revenue, Pang Jianxiong's expression became serious.

If this matter were to reach the ears of the higher-ups of the Zhenwu Sect, it would be a tremendous achievement!

"Yang Song, well done!"

Pang Jianxiong reached out and patted Yang Song hard on the shoulder, then couldn't resist giving him a pinch.

Yang Song humbly replied, "It's all thanks to the guidance and training of my elders."

Pang Jianxiong shook his head: "I dare not take credit. These days, besides teaching you two martial arts techniques, I haven't done anything else."

The fact that Pang Jianxiong knows his own limitations means there's still hope for him...

As the system was speaking, Pang Jianxiong said with a solemn expression, "Don't talk to anyone about your trip to Black Wind Stronghold tonight, or you'll bring disaster upon yourself."

Yang Song nodded repeatedly: "Sir, I understand."

He thwarted the Blissful Cult's plans and will surely face terrible retribution.

With his current strength, he can bully Black Wind Stronghold, but if he goes against the Blissful Sect, he's doomed.

Pang Jianxiong put on his coat: "I have to go to the Zhenwu Sect and tell the important people above about the Bliss Sect."

I'm not comfortable going to Yangshan City to find the city guard, since no one knows if he has any connection with the Blissful Sect.

This group is elusive and has infiltrated various cities and counties, so we must be extremely careful.

"Sun Tao".

"exist."

"I'll be gone for more than ten days, so I'll leave the county's official duties to you."

Sun Tao said solemnly, "My lord, please rest assured."

Pang Jianxiong nodded slightly, then turned his gaze to Yang Song and said with a smile, "Yang Song, I will report your merits truthfully. Perhaps when I return to Anping, you will be a disciple of the Zhenwu Sect."

At that time, I won't dare call myself an adult in front of you anymore; instead, I'll ask you to mentor me."

Yang Song feigned fear and said, "Sir, you are too kind. Please don't joke like that."
