Chaotic World: Destiny: Success Comes Naturally

(Three updates daily, occasional bonus updates, follow along!!)

The sky was clear, cloudless, and the heavens had just turned pale.

Great Sui, Cangzhou, Fangcheng.

A small courtyard on the east side of the city.

Bang bang bang.

A rapid series of knocks suddenly rang out.

He An closed his book, a flicker of confusion rising in his heart.

At this hour, older brother shouldn't be off duty yet, right?

He thought to himself.

He slowly walked towards the main gate.

Ever since he transmigrated, he hadn't stepped outside.

He stayed at home, reading day after day, using it to understand this world.

The dynasty he was currently in was called Great Sui, a Martial Dynasty, and it was currently equivalent to the late period of a dynasty.

Internally, Martial Artists ran rampant, and externally, enemy nations vied for dominance.

The nation was battered by storms, showing clear signs of imminent collapse.

His older brother, He Ping, was a minor clerk in the local Town Martial Division. Including his salary and the family estate left by their father, the family lived in the east of the city, and their lives were quite comfortable and prosperous.

Creak.

The main gate slowly opened.

Outside the gate stood a sturdy and tall man.

The visitor's name was Zhang Yongda. Like his older brother He Ping, he was also a minor clerk in the Town Martial Division.

"Brother Zhang, is something the matter?"

He An's brows furrowed slightly.

"I need to see Brother He about something. Has he returned?"

"Not yet!"

He An stood at the doorway, with no intention of letting him into the courtyard.

However, his sister-in-law, Wang Rou, slowly walked out from inside the house.

"Little An, why aren't you letting Brother Zhang in?"

"I am!"

He An replied, then stepped aside from the gate.

Zhang Yongda shot him a provocative glance and swaggered into the small courtyard.

"Sister-in-law, it's been so long, you've become even more beautiful!"

Wang Rou's cheeks flushed slightly, and she chuckled awkwardly, "Brother Zhang, let's discuss the matter first."

"You're looking for Brother Ping at this hour, is there something important to discuss?"

"Brother Ping hasn't returned yet. Why don't you wait in the courtyard for a bit?"

"No need!"

Zhang Yongda waved his hand, a glint of greed flashing in his eyes.

He reached out, placed a token on the stone table in the courtyard, and instructed, "Sister-in-law, when Brother He returns, please give this to him. Also, remind him to carefully consider Clerk Meng's words."

"As long as he agrees, it will only bring benefits and no harm to your entire family."

Upon hearing this, He An's heart skipped a beat.

As he was leaving, Zhang Yongda walked to the courtyard gate, looked back at Wang Rou, and licked his lips greedily, "Sister-in-law, we'll meet again another day!!"

Wang Rou felt extremely disgusted.

He An picked up the token and examined it carefully for a long time, but couldn't discern anything from it.

What does it mean to send only this one token?

"Mother, I'm so hungry."

Suddenly.

He An's thoughts were interrupted by a weak voice.

A little boy, about five or six years old, ran excitedly to Wang Rou's side, looking at his mother with his big, watery eyes.

A hint of helplessness flashed across Wang Rou's pretty face.

"Ru'er, why are you hungry again?"

He Ru pouted, "I'm just hungry! I want to eat meat today."

"No, we just ate meat a few days ago. We can't eat meat today," Wang Rou refused without hesitation.

Seeing this, He An brought He Ru over. "Ru'er, we're not eating meat today. Let's eat something else, okay?"

"Okay!"

He Ru didn't throw a tantrum and nodded obediently.

Wang Rou smiled slightly.

"Xiao An, keep an eye on Ru'er. Your elder brother should be back soon. I'll go make you guys some food."

As she walked to the kitchen entrance, she suddenly stopped and reminded him, "Don't forget that token. Give it to your elder brother when he gets back. If it's something important, you absolutely cannot delay."

Before long.

A wisp of cooking smoke slowly rose from the kitchen.

He An stayed in the courtyard, playing with He Ru.

He genuinely respected his sister-in-law.

For years, the family had been struggling to make ends meet because of his studies.

His sister-in-law not only didn't complain but had always supported him silently.

Even when he mentioned wanting to learn martial arts a few days ago, she had readily agreed.

Even though she knew that the cost of learning martial arts could be several times that of learning literature.

Such a good sister-in-law was hard to find even with a lantern.

It was precisely because of these actions that He An, who had been an orphan before, truly felt the warmth of a home and vowed to repay his elder brother and sister-in-law.

Time flew by.

He Ping burst into the courtyard with imposing vigor.

With just one glance, he saw He An sitting in the courtyard.

And He Ru, whom He An was playing with.

"Xiao An, playing with Ru'er?"

"Mm!"

"Brother, Zhang Yongda came by just now." He An recounted what had happened.

He took out the token and handed it to He Ping.

"Here, it's this token."

He Ping's expression changed, and he hurriedly asked, "Where's your sister-in-law?"

"Making food!"

Seeing his brother's expression, He An also realized something was wrong.

He gestured for He Ru to go play by himself.

Seeing that no one was around, he quietly asked, "Brother, what's wrong? Is there a problem with this token?"

He Ping didn't answer, just gave He An a helpless look, then sat down with a plop, sighing heavily like a deflated ball.

"Xiao An, if one day someone wanted to make a move on your sister-in-law, what would you do?"

"Kill him!"

He An said calmly.

"Brother, are you saying that Zhang Yongda has his sights set on Sister-in-law?"

He Ping didn't hide it.

"To be precise, it's not him who has his sights set on your sister-in-law, but that beast Meng Cao."

Clerk Meng Cao.

He Ping's superior in the Town Martial Division.

Because of just one quirk, he was infamous within the division.

He had a penchant for other men's wives.

The reason Zhang Yongda was valued by him.

Part of it was because of his own wife.

"The reason you haven't been able to join the Town Martial Division is partly because he's been obstructing it, wanting to use it to threaten me into offering up your sister-in-law."

He Ping continued.

Upon hearing this, He An's eyes turned fierce.

"Brother, I'm not going to the Town Martial Division anymore."

He Ping gave a wry smile and said with relief, "Little An, you've grown up."

"But you don't need to worry, I've already sorted this out."

"After all, as your big brother, I've been in the department for so long, I know more than just him, the clerk."

Hearing this, He An's heart burned. Even though he didn't know how much silver it would cost.

He knew it definitely wouldn't be a small amount, and it might even drain the family's finances.

Even so, his big brother and sister-in-law supported his pursuit of martial arts.

How could he not repay such immense kindness!

"Brother, thank you."

"We're family, no need for such talk!" He Ping laughed heartily.

After dinner.

He An lay on his bed, and a few small golden words slowly appeared in his mind.

He had discovered them when he transmigrated.

[Destiny: Success Comes Naturally.]
[Small accumulations will eventually lead to a vast ocean; the path of martial arts has no bottlenecks.]

Looking at those golden words, He An's resolve grew even stronger: "Martial Artist, I'm coming!!"
