Chapter 26: Down and Out, Brother Gu

Chapter 26: Down and Out, Brother Gu

  "Wu Song."

Gu Changsheng muttered to himself, blinking several times.

It didn't matter if this Wu Song was similar to the one in his memory.

When this kid grew up, Gu Changsheng himself didn't know where he might be by then.

So, it didn't matter.

  Besides, can he, who runs a martial arts school, refuse people to come and learn martial arts?

  Not to mention that the Gu family and the Wu family are old friends.

  "Uncle Wu, I'll take you there."

  Gu Changsheng carefully supported the solemn Wu Dalang and sent him all the way to the door of the martial arts school. Gu Changsheng stopped immediately.

  If he said he would not leave the martial arts school, he would never leave the martial arts school!

  "Changsheng, I'm sorry to bother you with this kid of mine." He still couldn't be very reassured about Wu Song.

  Among the people the Wu family knew, it was already very lucky to have a "big shot" like Gu Changsheng.

  That's right. For many people in Yuzhou City, not to mention third-rate warriors, even the inferior warriors are considered unattainable big shots.

  Throughout history, the status of warriors in this world has always been esteemed.

It's not a case of the dynasty and the warriors simply sharing the world.

Rather, it's the warriors and the dynasty that collectively shape the world!

  Didn't Emperor Xuan rely on warriors to win the world?

  And he himself is a master warrior who is famous in the world.

  As for the scholars?

  They are just pawns and lackeys!

  When a common man is angry, blood can still splash ten steps.

  What about warriors?

  Every dynasty will have its own organization responsible for managing the world and warriors.

  In history, there have been Jinyiwei, Dongchang, Xichang, and Neichang.

  And now, it seems that this kind of organization of Daxuan has been formed. It seems to be called something-Xuanwusi!

  Such organizations are commonly known as "court hawks" worldwide.

  But no matter how fierce the reputation is, there are certain limitations to what it can accomplish .

  The influence has been close to nothing in this small southwestern city, Yuzhou City.

  It is difficult to affect Gu Changsheng now.

  Having finally entered the upper class in the city, he still aspires to lead a stable life for another ten or twenty years.

  Big cities may be prosperous, but they are not suitable for him.

  It is better to be the head of a chicken than the tail of a phoenix.

  ...

  As Gu Changsheng bid farewell to Wu Dalang away, he could feel it.

  Wu Dalang's physical function is not very good.

  Maybe he will not live for a few years.

  And in this city, there are not many old friends he knew in the past; they left one after another.

  Time, time, and years make people old.

  It is also the most capable of changing a person.

  Because of the gap in time, identity, and so on.

  Gu Changsheng has not changed, but Wu Dalang is no longer the same as before.

  Perhaps, in the future, time will change him.

  Because as people experience more things, they will always be changed.

  But at least he is still the same now, and his heart is the same as before.

  In the martial arts training ground, more than a dozen teenagers are practicing martial arts.

  Wu Song is among them.

  Shao Yue and Wei Min are instructing these teenagers. It was only after he became the master of Chuyun Martial Arts School that Gu Changsheng realized that the fees for learning martial arts in martial arts schools in Yuzhou City were so similar because they were indeed negotiated in advance.

  The pricing power was in the hands of the three martial arts schools in the past.

  Now it is in the hands of the two major martial arts schools.

  No matter how you charge, all martial arts schools in Yuzhou City cannot charge less than five taels of silver per month, and at least two months.

  This is the bottom line of the two major martial arts schools!

  Such a charging standard, even if it is slightly higher, will be the most beneficial to the two martial arts schools.   

  No matter how much the other martial arts schools were dissatisfied, they could only hold back.

  The world of martial artists is so simple and pure.

  The strong is strong, the weak is weak!

  The former Chuyun Martial Arts School was also a beneficiary of this set of rules.

  As for now, a hero does not mention his past achievements!

  After becoming the master of the school, Gu Changsheng still charges according to the previous fee standards.

  It's best not to challenge existing rules until you have enough strength. If you lose, you must accept it gracefully and stand at attention in defeat.

  Did you observe that Hanshan and Benlei are no longer collaborating with Chuyun Martial Arts School?

  You are down and out, Brother Gu.

  ...

  "Hey, new here?"

  In the training ground, everyone else was resting.

  Only Wu Song was still meticulously familiarizing himself with the Cloud Palm.

  Suddenly, a young man sitting on the ground shouted at him.

  "What's the matter?" Wu Song asked without turning his head.

  "I heard that you and the master of the school know each other. Is it true?"

  The man asked curiously.

  The other young men also looked over when they heard the conversation between the two.

  "What does it matter if I know him or not?"

  Wu Song kept practicing the Cloud Palm, unmoved as sweat streamed from his forehead down to his cheeks and chin. He retained the demeanor of an ascetic.

  "If you talk like that, you'll get beaten easily."

  The young man raised his chin and said proudly.

  People who talk too arrogantly in the martial arts world are indeed prone to getting stabbed.

  But generally, people who talk arrogantly are not simple. They are far from being comparable to him, a passerby.

  It seems that he has won now, but in fact he has lost miserably.

  "I heard that when the master of the school started practicing martial arts, it took more than a month to learn the Cloud Palm. I, Cao Annan, will definitely become a martial artist like the master in the future, even a second-rate martial artist!"

  The young man spread his arms at this time, and his whole body was full of ambition.

  Wei Min, who was not far away, looked at the excited appearance of the group of young people.

  He couldn't help but smile and shook his head.

  Third-rate martial artists, second-rate martial artists, how could it be so easy.

  If he could become a third-rate martial artist by just talking, he would have been one long ago. He is still too young.

  To be honest, he admired the master of the martial arts school.

  With such a poor martial arts talent, he could actually reach the third-rate level.

  His talent was better than the master's, so what reason did he have not to work hard?

  ...

  At noon, when the canteen opened for lunch.

  Gu Changsheng took off the gourd tied around his waist.

  It was full of more than ten years of old wine. Looking at the meat dishes in front of him and a large bowl of medicinal food,

  He noticed that there was no one in the canteen at this time.

"If he's not actively eating, he might have a problem with his brain!"

"Old Wang, where is everyone?" Gu Changsheng asked the uncle in charge of cooking in the martial arts school canteen, feeling confused.

Back when he was still learning martial arts in the hall, Old Wang, who was then just a young man, was already in the Chuyun Martial Arts School canteen. The food he cooked left Gu Changsheng feeling satisfied after every meal.

After so many years, Old Wang finally "became a mother-in-law". Now, he's the only one left in the entire martial arts School canteen.

He could be considered the King of Endurance!

He could barely be considered half of the martial arts School's own people.

"They're still practicing outside," Old Wang said, peeking out from behind.

Gu Changsheng: "???"
