Chapter 40: Save Su Can

“Traverse World, Martial Arts Top Scholar Su Qi’er. Mission 1: Get the Great Return Pill.

Mission 2: Find the Great Qing Dragon Vein.”

Luo Feng turned around while floating in the air, landed gracefully, and complained, “Xiao Meng, why do you always make me land from mid-air?”

“Hint. The landing spot is random. Landing in mid-air every time is just the Host’s luck.”

Luo Feng: “…” Xiao Meng, if you keep this up, I won’t want to talk to you.

Searching for the Great Qing Dragon Vein? This mission seems a bit fantasy-like. However, the world of the Martial Arts Top Scholar Su Qi’er held no danger for Luo Feng because the Eighteen Palms of the Subduing Dragon was already the strongest martial art in this world.

The story was set during the Xianfeng reign of the Qing Dynasty. As for what happened before Su Can was demoted to a beggar, Luo Feng did not want to care, because that time period was almost the foreshadowing of Su Can getting his opportunities.

Ru Shuang, and the Sleep Dream Fist, were things Luo Feng had no desire to fight Su Can for. In fact, in every world, although Luo Feng had attracted countless emotional debts, he had never fought the protagonist directly and never intended to steal the protagonist’s beauties.

Regarding the Sleep Dream Fist, Luo Feng still had some thoughts, but he knew that only someone with an open-minded nature could cultivate it to release its power , and Luo Feng clearly could not do that.

Luo Feng asked directly for the road, rushed to the Capital City, and waited for the plot to develop.

…

In a busy street in the Capital City, a young man with messy hair, looking downtrodden but dressed in fine clothes, was shouting loudly, “Walk by, don’t miss out! Breaking stones on the chest! A son hitting his own father! Absolutely no tricks!”

Luo Feng, not far away, shook his head helplessly and smiled. Although Su Can was demoted to a beggar at this moment, he still had no serious demeanor, and the whole man looked a bit wild, full of the pride of a rich kid.

“Hehe…” At this moment, a gentle laugh came, and Zhao Wuji, leading a pair of soldiers, walked over. “Su Can, since the Emperor has demoted you to a beggar, you can only beg for a living forever. Selling your skills is impossible.”

“Do you have to be so harsh? Leave me a way to live,” Su Can still showed no care for anything, and his speech remained casual.

“Hehe, men, take the stone off his chest for me.” Zhao Wuji gave a cold smile to Su Can, then pointed at Su Can’s father and ordered the soldiers behind him.

“As ordered.” One soldier jumped hard onto the stone, pressing down constantly, making Su Can’s father scream in pain.

“Sir, the stone is too heavy, I cannot move it alone.”

“If you cannot move it alone, just add more people.”

With several “yes” responses, the remaining soldiers also jumped onto the stone, making Su Can’s father roll his eyes, feel chest tightness, and even stick out his tongue.

“Father!” Su Can’s complexion turned dark, but he was still rational, thinking of a countermeasure in his heart.

He had fought with Zhao Wuji before, so he knew that in a direct fight, he was no match. Therefore, Su Can planned to kill the enemy in one move when Zhao Wuji was not paying attention.

However, Zhao Wuji had deliberately provoked Su Can to damage him, so how could Su Can successfully sneak attack?

The punch from Su Can, condensing all his power, was gently grabbed by Zhao Wuji, unable to move.

Zhao Wuji gave a cold smile, ready to break Su Can’s arm, when a seemingly weak hand lightly grabbed his arm that was about to exert force.

“Hmph…” Zhao Wuji groaned, his forehead covered in cold sweat. He found that his arm was as if restrained, making it impossible to exert force, and even moving was difficult.

Zhao Wuji turned his head to look, and a young scholar in a white robe was smiling at him, looking harmless.

Zhao Wuji released Su Can, and the white-robed scholar also released him at the same time.

Zhao Wuji asked in a deep voice, “Who are you?”

“Luo Feng.”

“Luo Feng…” Zhao Wuji gazed fiercely at Luo Feng, as if to memorize him in his heart. “We will meet again.”

Watching Zhao Wuji leave with an angry back figure, Luo Feng murmured, “Yes, we will meet again.”

“Thank you, brother, for helping me.” Su Can thanked him with a fist-palm salute. He was not an unreasonable person; he had seen the ferocity in Zhao Wuji’s eyes just now. If not for Luo Feng, he would likely be disabled by now.

Luo Feng waved his hand, indicating that thanks were not needed. One of Luo Feng’s missions was to get the Great Return Pill, and without the Great Return Pill, Su Can’s broken meridians could not be restored. So Luo Feng simply stopped Zhao Wuji directly to save Su Can.

Luo Feng was about to turn around and leave, but turned back to say, “Brother Su, the Emperor has already ordered that you must beg for a lifetime. I am afraid Brother Su cannot disobey the decree, so, with your martial arts skills, you might as well join the Beggar Sect.”

“Join the Beggar Sect?”

“That’s right. The Beggar Sect has many people and is the largest sect under Heaven. Moreover, the Beggar Sect is currently without a Sect Leader. If you become the Sect Leader, although you cannot be the Top Scholar, you can be above everyone else.”

Su Can showed a look of fear. “What do you know?”

Luo Feng smiled, “This is not important. What is important is that Miss Ru Shuang is also a member of the Beggar Sect.”

Having said this, Luo Feng already knew that Su Can would definitely join the Beggar Sect, for no other reason than for Ru Shuang.

Luo Feng left. Su Can helped up his somewhat weak father, his brows tightly knitted. Who exactly was this Luo Feng?

However, Su Can turned around and stopped thinking much, shouting in his heart, “Miss Ru Shuang, I am coming!”

…

In a little woods covered with fallen leaves, an old beggar was leaning comfortably against a tree with a piece of withered grass in his mouth, humming a song with his eyes closed for a short nap.

Suddenly, the old beggar opened his eyes, and a white-robed scholar stood in front of him without him noticing.

The old beggar was just a moment astonished, then spit out the withered grass from his mouth, laughed loudly, showing a mouth full of yellow teeth, and asked, “What does a scholar want with an old beggar like me?”

Even though Luo Feng had prepared himself, he still found the smell on the old beggar hard to bear, and involuntarily covered his nose with his hand.

“Senior Hong Riqing, why do you have to make yourself look like this?”

“Ha…” Hong Riqing had guessed that Luo Feng knew his identity when he found him, so hearing Luo Feng call him by name was not too surprising. “An old beggar is free and easy. What does it matter if his body is dirty and smelly?”

Luo Feng smiled. “Although I do not know exactly what the true meaning of being free and easy is, I also know that laziness has absolutely nothing to do with freedom.”

Hong Riqing’s face turned red, clearly having the truth exposed by Luo Feng. He was just too lazy to take a bath; that time was better spent sleeping.

Hong Riqing opened his eyes wide, glaring fiercely. “What an old beggar wants to do is up to him. What business is it of yours? Speak if you have something, or get lost if you don’t.”

Luo Feng laughed loudly, finding the look of Hong Riqing being defeated quite refreshing.

“Does Senior still remember Su Can?”

“That kid who asked me to one month… cough, eat with him? Of course I remember.”

“Then please teach him the Sleep Dream Arhat Fist.”

Luo Feng stated his intention. He was afraid that since Su Can had not been crippled and had not experienced the sufferings of the mortal world, this old beggar would be too lazy to appear…
