Chapter 162: Fame is troublesome, pretend to be injured to avoid disaster! [Subscribe]

Faced with Wei Hong's choice

Yuan Tianhua couldn't help but frown again, revealing a trace of doubt: "You don't want the bone-refining pill? You don't want to get promoted? As far as I know, you have already been to the second floor of the Sutra Library once, so you should not lack the skills, right? Why do you still choose this way?"

"Reply to the chief steward!" Wei Hong had already thought of the wording, and answered directly and frankly: "I think I have a deep foundation after years of accumulation, and I am still confident that I can break through the bone-refining realm, so I don't need the bone-refining pill."

"As for promotion, I don't have much of a future, and I don't have much interest in managing other brothers. Now I'm staying at the water and land docks with plenty of oil and water, and I don't want to leave for the time being!"

"Although I have already chosen the training method, I haven't yet touched upon the martial arts of the bone-refining realm. After the breakthrough, it is inevitable that I will not be able to exert my strength, so I chose to go to the Sutra Library!"

Yuan Tianhua nodded in agreement when he heard it.

The admiration in his eyes deepened a bit, and it was obvious that he recognized Wei Hong, who disliked power and had a smart mind.

"In that case, I will reward you with one entry to the second floor of the Sutra Library!" Yuan Tianhua said, "But this reward must be saved first, and I will arrange it when you really break through to the Bone Refining Realm."

"I heard that once the guards in the palace break through to the Bone Refining Realm, they will be qualified to enter the second floor of the Sutra Library once. In this way, can't I exchange for two martial arts?" Wei Hong asked tentatively.

"Yes!" Yuan Tianhua took a sip of tea and said slowly: "But in the past two years, there have been a total of seven guards in the palace who have broken through to the Bone Refining Realm. There are only five vacancies for the captain of the guard. If you make a choice, you will lose the opportunity to be promoted to captain. Are you willing?"

"I am willing, thank you, general manager!" Wei Hong agreed without hesitation.

"Well!" Yuan Tianhua pondered for a moment and said, "You should go back and pretend to be sick for a few months recently, so as not to offend the noble!"

"Pretend to be sick?"

Wei Hong was slightly stunned. What the hell is this?

Why do I have to pretend to be sick to avoid offending the noble?

Yuan Tianhua glanced at him and said unhappily: "Now that the Tianji Pavilion has ranked you as the 98th on the Tiger List, I don't know how many people want to become famous by stepping on your corpse. Some of the powerful children in the capital have also noticed you, and even the third princess has asked about your name."

"If you don't want to be called over by some powerful children every day to be a target, just stay quiet and recover from your injuries. After a few months, when you break through to the Bone Refining Realm, you will be automatically removed from the Tiger List. Do you understand?"

Wei Hong couldn't help but frowned with a headache!

He did want to make a name for himself by killing Xiong Gang. After all, Li Tiezhu's identity was fake. If he really caused any trouble, he could just withdraw and retreat. If he successfully established his prestige, he could get some benefits.

But who would have thought that being too high-profile would lead to being on the Tiger List of the Tianji Pavilion and attracting the attention of the powerful children.

If he was really called to be a live target every now and then, the scene would make people feel sick just thinking about it.

After all, which of the powerful people who can associate with the Prince Duan's Mansion is easy to mess with?

Fighting with them can only lose, not win, isn't that just going to get beaten?

"Thank you for your advice, I understand!"

Wei Hong immediately decided to pretend to be sick after returning, and stay at the water and land dock to practice martial arts. He ignored any chivalrous knights who wanted to step on him to become famous, and any powerful children who wanted to practice with him.

Anyway, with the brand of the Prince Duan's Mansion, ordinary people dare not mess with him casually.

...

Half a day later

Wei Hong, who had just returned to the small courtyard of the water and land dock, once again felt the necessity of Yuan Tianhua's reminder, because a lot of visiting cards, banquet invitations, and letters of challenge had arrived one after another.

There were wealthy businessmen who wanted to invite them to a banquet!

There were also younger generations in the martial arts world who wanted to challenge and become famous!

In short, all kinds of troubles emerged one after another, causing headaches.

"Damn, we can't stay at the Land and Water Wharf anymore!" Wei Hong called Er Gouzi and ordered: "Go and inform Boss Fan and Xie Lao San, and tell them that I am seriously injured and have returned to Shendu for recuperation. I will not come here for the time being. Anyone who has a visiting card, a letter of challenge, or a visit to my house, will be rejected on the pretext that I am recovering from my injuries!"

"Yes!"

Er Gouzi nodded in agreement.

Wei Hong then turned around and got on the scale-armored horse again, and turned back to Shendu without hesitation, without any nostalgia for the gentle land of the two courtesans in the wharf courtyard.

In his opinion, the Land and Water Wharf is now the center of the vortex!

He must hide for at least one or two months and cannot go there, otherwise it will be easy to involve other things.

Anyway, Li Tiezhu's identity is just a fake. As long as he disappears for a while under the pretext of recuperating or breaking through, no one can find him.

In addition, he just killed Xiong Gang to establish his prestige!

No matter how blind Fan Tai and Xie Lao San are, they will not offend him.

So nominally, it didn't matter whether he went to the job of dispatching supervisors at the water and land docks or not. They would be happier if he didn't go.

...

At night

Wei Hong rarely stayed in Wei's house in Tianbao Lane

and had a delicious hot pot with his family.

The steaming hot pot base was paired with a plate of vegetables and beef and mutton, which made people's appetites grow. Wei Hong also ate with his mouth full of oil and was very happy.

After solving the danger of Xiong Gang and getting a promise from Yuan Tianhua to exchange martial arts twice on the second floor of the Sutra Pavilion, he was in a very good mood and had a very good appetite.

"Grandpa, eat more! Yuanyuan, eat this, mutton is nourishing!"

"Don't just pick up dishes for us, you eat too!"

Everyone ate around the stove, and the atmosphere was warm.

Grandma Wang, who had just recovered from a serious illness, couldn't help but sigh: "This winter is no worse than last year. It's another cold day. I don't know how many people will freeze to death."

Wei Hong silently stopped holding the chopsticks in his hand!

Something suddenly occurred to his mind. Before he went on the mission, Lei Peng reminded him that the old emperor was not going to die soon. There might be big changes in the capital this winter, so he was told to be careful and prepared!

However, he had been busy practicing martial arts recently and almost forgot about it.

Now that he thought about it after Grandma Wang's words, he couldn't help but frown secretly.

"Brother Hong, what are you thinking about?" Grandma Wang said with a smile, "I just said it casually. If you don't want to hear it, we won't talk about it."

"It's okay, Grandma Wang, you have good intentions too." Wei Hong sighed and said: "Every winter, at least tens of thousands of people freeze to death. The New Year is the most difficult time to get through in the year. Let's buy more food and stock up recently. , lest something happens without any preparation at all.”

"What could happen?" Old Wei asked puzzledly: "The city of God is so big that it won't make people hungry, right?"

"Grandpa, you don't understand!" Wei Hong said in a deep voice: "It's better to stock up on food. Qiu Ju, buy more food, rice, noodles, meat, and medicinal materials when you have time. Prepare enough for dozens of people to eat for several months. Let them share it. The batches will be sent to Renyi Lane for storage, so they won’t get damaged in the winter.”

"good!"

Qiu Ju didn't ask any questions and nodded directly in agreement.

Wei Hong would never harm anyone, she just had to obey.
