Chen San Ye's Scheme

"With such a junior in the village, it's only natural for me, San Ye, to look after him. This is something I had my son exchange for at Fierce Mountain Hall. Er Gou, see if you're satisfied."

Chen San Ye spoke with a chuckle.

Hearing Chen San Ye's words, Chen Xuan became even more confused.

"Fierce Mountain Hall!"

Recalling the few times it had appeared in the system, he naturally knew what Fierce Mountain Hall was. It was a very powerful gang in Green Mountain City, and it was said that Chen San Ye's son had joined Fierce Mountain Hall.

What puzzled Chen Xuan was what kind of item Chen San Ye would entrust his son to exchange for from Fierce Mountain Hall.

Putting his confusion aside, Chen Xuan still opened the wooden box.

As the wooden box opened, Chen Xuan's pupils couldn't help but contract slightly.

Inside the wooden box lay a longbow crafted from black metal, along with over a dozen arrows.

Just by looking, Chen Xuan could tell that this bow was far superior to the Iron Draw Bow Chen San Ye had given him a few days ago. The material it was made from was likely fine iron, even the arrowheads were.

"How is it?"

"This is a ten-stone bow. In Green Mountain City, it's worth at least twenty taels of silver, and it's hard to buy. Are you satisfied?"

Chen San Ye's voice was cheerful, but his words were enough to cause an uproar among the surrounding villagers who were watching.

"Twenty taels, this bow and arrow is actually twenty taels!"

"Oh my god!"

"This is for Er Gou, San Ye, you're too generous."

Voices mixed together. Hearing these voices, Chen San Ye was extremely satisfied. This was undoubtedly the result he wanted.

Of course, this was just a bonus; the most important target was still Chen Xuan.

"Thank you, San Ye!"

Looking at the longbow in his hand, Chen Xuan was silent for a moment before speaking softly. He closed the wooden box and slung it over his back.

"You're welcome!"

"Er Gou, you are a talent from our village. Maybe in the future, you can enter Green Mountain City, join a martial arts school, and become a high and mighty Martial Artist. I, San Ye, will give you some support. Maybe you'll be able to afford the hundred taels of silver per year for martial arts school tuition. Then our Small River Village can also produce a Martial Artist, which would be bringing glory to our ancestors."

Chen San Ye spoke with a faint smile. Looking at Chen Xuan's actions, a hint of a smile flashed in his eyes.

"Martial arts school apprentice!"

Chen Xuan raised an eyebrow, his expression somewhat surprised.

"That's right, martial arts school apprentice. For villagers like us, the only way to make a name for ourselves is to learn martial arts. It's just that learning martial arts is too expensive, over ten taels of silver a month. Not many of us can afford it. But if you succeed, you'll truly make a name for yourself. Martial Artists, even the City Lord of Green Mountain City treats them with respect."

Chen San Ye spoke with feigned emotion.

"Martial Artist!!"

"Learning martial arts?"

"Martial arts school?"

"Is that true, San Ye?"

Chen Xuan feigned a shocked expression, but his heart was filled with suspicion. Chen San Ye's words were too deliberate, making him unable to help but overthink.

"Naturally, it's true. San Ye wouldn't lie to you!"

Chen San Ye said seriously.

"I understand!"

"Thank you for telling me, San Ye!"

Chen Xuan pretended to be even more excited, bowing towards Chen San Ye to express his gratitude.

"No need to thank me, it's a small matter!"

Chen San Ye smiled and nodded.

The two exchanged pleasantries for a while.

Afterward, Chen Xuan took his leave and returned home.

As Chen Xuan left, Chen San Ye also returned to his home.

Back in his study, Chen San Ye's smile disappeared, and his brows furrowed slightly.

"Bao Qing, what did he say?"

Chen San Ye looked at the servant named Er He, who was respectfully attending to him.

"Young Master Bao Qing said that it would be best if you could get him a Tiger Heart as soon as possible. He is about to complete his first Blood Refining. Once he completes it, he can join the deputy hall master of Fierce Mountain Hall. At that time, he will also be able to bring you to Green Mountain City to live, and perhaps even enter the inner city!"

Er He quickly reported, his expression extremely respectful and excited.

Green Mountain City, that was Green Mountain City. If the master was brought there, wouldn't they also be brought along? Just thinking about such a life made one excited.

"I understand!"

Chen San Ye nodded, his thoughts sinking into contemplation.

"Master, what if that kid takes the bow but doesn't go hunting?"

Seeing the master lost in thought, Er He hesitated for a moment but still couldn't help but ask.

"Don't worry, he will go."

"That kid isn't someone who is content with being ordinary. He must want to leave Small River Village and enter Green Mountain City. The money from Wild Boars isn't enough for him to enter Green Mountain City, nor is it enough for him to learn martial arts!"

Chen San Ye chuckled softly.

His words weren't said casually; they were said deliberately.

His purpose was to entice Chen Xuan.

Who wouldn't want to make a name for themselves and go to Green Mountain City?

But wanting requires a price. Currently, the other party only had a little over thirty taels. Let alone learning martial arts, it wasn't even enough to live in Green Mountain City.

And if it wasn't enough, what could he do? He could only take risks.

With Chen Xuan's hunting skills, if he were to team up with some hunters from the village, there would be a good chance of hunting a fierce tiger.

As for how many people would die, Chen San Ye didn't care.

As long as he could obtain the Tiger Heart and his youngest son could break through to the Blood Refining Realm, everything would be worth it.

"Master is brilliant!"

Er He quickly flattered him.

"Hahaha, when I, your master, go to Green Mountain City, your good days will also come!"

Chen San Ye's smile became even brighter.

Meanwhile, Chen Xuan, who had left, naturally didn't know what was happening in Chen San Ye's room. However, with the experience of two lifetimes, he quickly figured out the key points.

It was clear that Chen San Ye had sent bows twice, and each time he bought wild boars, he gave a high market price. This was to build a closer relationship with him. As for the purpose of building this relationship, it was most likely to get him to hunt tigers and leopards.

Even the information about Martial Artists and martial arts halls that came later was undoubtedly used to lure him in.

The only thing Chen Xuan didn't quite understand was why Chen San Ye needed so many fierce beasts.

He had already sold seven wild boars to the other party, and now he wanted tigers and leopards.

His thoughts were racing.

Chen Xuan was constantly thinking.

His figure unconsciously walked back home.

At home, his mother had already prepared the meal.

Chen Xuan shook his head. He had been thinking all the way and couldn't figure it out, so he temporarily decided not to think about it anymore.

Just as his family had finished eating.

An unexpected figure appeared at the door.

"Uncle Zhang Shan?"

Chen Xuan opened the courtyard gate and looked at the appearing Zhang Shan, his expression a little puzzled.

Since learning archery that time, this was the first time he had seen Zhang Shan.

"Er Gou, do you have time?"

Seeing Chen Xuan, Zhang Shan's expression was a little complicated, but after hesitating for a moment, he spoke softly.

"Yes!"

Chen Xuan thought for a moment and nodded.

On one hand, he was curious about Zhang Shan's arrival, and on the other hand, Zhang Shan had taught him a few months ago. Even though it was just a transaction between them, Chen Xuan would still give him some face.
