Chapter 117: I'm More Coquettish Than Them

Su Wen clenched his fists unconsciously.

The citizens outside the city had been abandoned? As he thought about those emaciated faces along the way, the skeletons lying by the roadside, the children who craved for food, Su Wen felt as if a fire had been lit in his heart.

Ever since he transmigrated, Su Wen had been very satisfied with his life.

The start of his life was akin to throwing out a royal flush at the start of a card game, standing at the end of a life that others could never achieve.

Power, money were all easily obtained. Even the martial arts he saw had a complete system.

What he had to do and think about was to continue the Su family's power.

Usually, when they heard about the deaths of those at the border, the great disasters and plagues were like fairy tales to him.

It was merely a cold number.

In his opinion, which dynasty didn't go to war? Which dynasty did not have people going hungry?

Was it a big deal?

He was already used to these things subconsciously.

At this moment, he recalled all the things that he encountered in Li Prefecture. The refugees on the edge of life and death, the idle guards, and the arrogant Ma Wu, Su Wen suddenly understood that behind those cold numbers, there were countless hidden secrets, and it was also unknown how many people were forcefully sacrificed.

He was in the flourishing capital and had seen the most beautiful side of the Great Zhou. It could even be said that in his entire life, he had never even seen a true dead person.

However, when he really left the capital city and saw those real faces, everything felt different.

It was then that he realized that the privilege of being unrestrained must have been produced through extreme corruption.

The Secret Shadow Guards had to be established!

"If everyone only cherishes their body, will there ever be a time when the world is clear? Old man, how much darkness have you seen?"

Su Wen recalled the old man who stood outside the door for an entire night in the capital.

Su Wen suddenly thought of something and said, "Didn't His Majesty send people to Li Prefecture to send disaster relief? Don't they have rations? Why would the disaster continue?"

Murong Yan looked at Su Wen and sighed. She said meaningfully, "This Li Prefecture is not a place where you can save people just because you have food."

After saying this, Murong Yan looked at Ma Wu and said, "Since we've entered the pass, Lord Ma Wu doesn't need to follow us anymore. This batch of provisions naturally has a place they will go to!"

Ma Wu nodded and left.

Murong Yan looked at Su Wen and smiled warmly. "Little Brother Qiang, come with me. I'll cook for you."

"Um I don't really want to go" Su Wen replied with a smile.

"Don't be so polite!"

"I'm not being polite. I really don't want to go."

Su Wen prepared to leave. He had no intention of interacting with Murong Yan anymore.

All of a sudden, Su Wen's expression turned solemn.

A person had appeared behind him.

"Hall Master!"

Murong Yan cried out in surprise.

"Is this the new brother you've pulled in?" A rough male voice sounded from behind Su Wen.

Su Wen pretended to be surprised and turned around to see a muscular man standing behind him.

Earth Rank but he should only be in the early stages!

When this man came behind him, Su Wen had already sensed it.

The him who was always guarded by powerful figures instantly determined this person's cultivation level.

When the man saw Su Wen turn around, a smile appeared on his face and he threw a punch at Su Wen's head!

Su Wen's eyes widened!

However, he suppressed the urge to counter the fist with all his might.

From the moment the man made his move, Su Wen could tell that he did not exert any strength!

That's right, it wasn't that he didn't use his full strength, but that he almost did not exert any strength.

Su Wen also got into his stance and met the punch head-on!

Peng!

The two fists collided and Su Wen took three steps back.

That man's eyes also flashed with a bright light as he shouted, "Good lad, your foundation is not bad!"

After saying that, he looked at Murong Yan and said with a smile, "This kid's foundation isn't bad. Although he's only at the 9th Grade Common Rank, his true qi is vigorous and hot, and he's still young. After entering the sacred cult, he'll definitely become a valiant general after a few years of training!"

He did not do anything and
