Letting You Practice Life Skills, You Grind to Divine Positions

Chen Chun turned his head, looking at the coin purses in the dancers' hands. He could see they were bulging, holding a considerable amount.

"What a strange person. He seems cold-hearted, yet shows such compassion towards these weak individuals."

Back at the house, Qin An and Chen Chun ate a bit first.

"I have something to do, don't disturb me."

Qin An said calmly, tucking the dancers' books under his arm and entering the room.

Chen Chun was long accustomed to Qin An's indifference and returned to his room to continue recovering from his injuries.

After entering the room, Qin An casually bolted the door, flipped open the dancers' books, and began to study them carefully.

With his Scholar talent, Qin An read quickly, and in just a moment, he had memorized the profound truths within the book.

This dancer's book was quite detailed, including dances performed by male dancers.

Qin An pondered briefly, then began practicing according to the book's descriptions.

To get started as a dancer, he only needed to learn the basics.

At first, Qin An stumbled through his movements.

But as time passed, Qin An's movements became increasingly fluid.

In the dim, yellow light, every move Qin An made was filled with masculine beauty, his muscles gradually brought under perfect control.

After a short while, a line of text appeared before Qin An's eyes.

[Dancer Lv.1 (0/100): Your dances are more graceful.]

Here it comes!

Qin An's eyes lit up.

After practicing for so long, he had successfully unlocked a new profession.

With the Dancer profession unlocked, Qin An couldn't wait.

The sky wasn't dark yet, so Qin An continued dancing in the room.

His proficiency began to slowly increase.

The Yamen.

Clerk Wang drank several cups of tea in one go before his fear subsided.

His forehead was covered in sweat, dripping onto the floor from his plump chin, but he paid it no mind.

Clerk Wang slammed his cup onto the ground: "Someone! Get my carriage ready, I'm going to the River Blade Sect!"

The next day.

The sunlight was perfect, streaming in through the window, and birds were the first to break the morning quiet.

After Qin An woke up, he focused his mind and continued practicing to increase his Dancer proficiency.

He had unlocked the Dancer profession yesterday, and Ding County wasn't safe. To ensure he had enough energy, Qin An hadn't stayed up late.

Judging by Clerk Wang's expression when he saw him, the next few days should be peaceful.

Footsteps could be heard from outside the door; Chen Chun had already woken up.

After a few days of rest, Chen Chun's injuries had healed by seventy to eighty percent, but he dared not disturb Qin An.

It wasn't until the streets gradually became bustling that Chen Chun saw Qin An push open the door.

"Let's eat first." Qin An, a dagger hanging from his waist, said briefly.

In the morning, his Dancer proficiency increased by twenty points, not far from level two.

"The army marches on its stomach," Qin An thought, deciding to eat first.

Chen Chun was also a bit hungry and followed behind Qin An, the two of them leaving together.

After eating, Qin An returned to his room, closed the door, and continued practicing his Dancer proficiency.

Although Chen Chun didn't know what Qin An was doing, he remembered Qin An's instruction not to disturb him and didn't rashly enter.

His injuries still needed a little more healing. Chen Chun sat cross-legged in the main room and began circulating the Blazing Flame Cultivation Method.

Time flowed by, the outside clamor gradually faded, and darkness began to spread.

When night fell, Chen Chun, who had been sitting cross-legged, suddenly opened his eyes and swept his gaze towards the door.

A faint sound came from the doorway. A pale, thin girl, holding onto the doorframe, looked timidly at Chen Chun.

Chen Chun was slightly stunned; he recognized the girl. It was the dancer Qin An had encountered not long ago.

Because of Qin An, the girl had escaped Clerk Wang's clutches and her companions had received a large sum of money.

Chen Chun frowned and asked, "Why are you here?"

He couldn't understand the girl's purpose for coming here.

The current situation was unstable, and the girl's sudden arrival must mean something unusual was happening.

Everything required careful handling.

The girl shrank her head, not daring to meet Chen Chun's gaze. She looked down at her toes and said, "Where is that lord? This humble one has something to say."

Chen Chun's brow furrowed even deeper. He knew the girl was here for Qin An. After a moment's thought, he got up, intending to inform Qin An.

Unexpectedly, the door suddenly opened, and Qin An walked out. He looked at the girl calmly.

"Come in and talk."

As dusk was falling, the girl had come alone. Qin An didn't know the reason.

But judging by the girl's demeanor, the matter seemed significant.

The girl still cowered, cautiously entering the room, not daring to meet Qin An's eyes.

Qin An said slowly, "I'm not a man-eating tiger. Lift your head."

The girl jumped in fright and quickly raised her head, her hands and feet trembling uncontrollably.

She had seen Clerk Wang flee with her own eyes.

The usually arrogant Clerk Wang had run away upon seeing this lord, proving that this lord was even more terrifying.

Although she was a commoner, the girl knew very well in her heart that she couldn't afford to offend this lord.

Seeing the girl's frightened expression, Qin An tapped his fingers on the table and said, "Speak."

Her fear was a long-accumulated thing, especially in Ding County. It couldn't be resolved overnight.

Since it couldn't be resolved, he might as well discuss important matters.

The girl twisted her hands together and mumbled, "This humble one saw Lord Wang leave the city last night. Knowing that Your Lordship and Lord Wang have a rift, after much thought, I came to inform Your Lordship."

She had thought about it for a long time before deciding to come and tell Qin An what she had seen last night.

Not for any other reason, but for Qin An to stand up for them.

Qin An frowned and asked, "Which direction did he go?"

Leaving the city, especially at this time, the implication was obvious.

He didn't believe Clerk Wang was fleeing.

Clerk Wang had been operating here for many years; it would be a joke if he were to flee now.

The girl whispered, "He went north."

Chen Chun stood up. "This is bad."

As soon as he said this, he felt Qin An's gaze sweep over him. He calmed himself and sat down again.

Qin An said, "I understand. It's getting late now, you should go back."

The girl softly hummed in agreement. She glanced at Qin An again, as if wanting to remember him, and then left the room.

After the girl left, Qin An looked at Chen Chun and said, "She's just an ordinary citizen. Do you expect her to get involved?"

Chen Chun gave an awkward smile.

He understood Qin An's meaning. The girl had come because of Qin An, and he had been too anxious just now, almost blurting things out.

If the girl had overheard anything, it would not have been good for her.

Qin An asked, "What's to the north?"

Chen Chun quickly replied, "To the north, there is a force called the River Blade Sect. The River Blade Sect has always had ties with the Yamen. I suspect Clerk Wang went to the River Blade Sect to seek reinforcements."

Qin An rubbed his chin. "River Blade Sect, interesting."

The first cultivation method he had obtained was the Cold Source Cultivation Method from the River Blade Sect, which allowed him to step into the threshold of a cultivator.
