Chapter 281 Wang Tieniu’s Ambition

“I picked up a good apprentice . ”

It was not long after Mu Yi left, Zhu Yun woke up and knew that it was Wang Tieniu who saved him, so he thanked him again and again . Seeing the body of the sorcerer, Zhu Yun thought better of Wang Tieniu . He was clearly stronger than Zhu Yun .

Zhu Yun didn’t understand how Wang Tieniu had killed him, but the sorcerer’s wounds were definitely caused by Wang Tieniu’s sword .

Maybe he has cards in his hand, Zhu Yun thought . Everyone had his own secret . He didn’t show interest in it, especially when he woke up and found that he had been purged of the poison . It wasn’t something that ordinary people could do .

Therefore, in Zhu Yun’s eyes, Wang Tieniu, a seemingly ordinary man, became somewhat mysterious .

Wang Tieniu flushed as he told Zhu Yun that he saved him . His cultivation was still weak, but his strength reached the level of third-class experts . Moreover, he reached the edge of the state of perfect cultivation . He didn’t know how to open it at will and wondered if it was something he could only do in the face of certain death .

Zhu Yun asked about their location and left with Wang Tieniu . Since the sorcerer was dead, he could go back to report the completion of this task . At the same time, he decided to help Wang Tieniu and give him due credit . Without Wang Tieniu, he would have died and there was no credit worth his life .

The credit for this incident wouldn’t have gotten him a promotion anyway .

Wang Tieniu was strong, but was a bit immature based on what he wore and how he treated people . Zhu Yun guessed that he came from an ordinary family . Such strength could earn him a high rank in an advanced position in the town . If he could become his deputy, he would be more relaxed in the future .

The next day, Wang Tieniu took Mu Yi’s advice . He was not proud of his victory over the sorcerer because he knew that his skills were not as good as master’s .

Mu Yi’s means of imparting his knowledge was unheard of, and he thought it was excellent . However, what puzzled him was who could have hurt him given that his master was so powerful?

He didn’t think about getting revenge for his master . He knew that he could not do that . The only thing he could do now was practice hard and make his master satisfied by becoming stronger .

By the afternoon, Wang Tieniu couldn’t wait to finish the last step of his blood tempering . He tempered all of his blood perfectly and completely stepped into the third class . His strength improved enough that he could lift the stone mound at his home easily with one hand .

It was proof that he had changed so quickly . It had been less than half a month, but his progress should have taken several years of hard work . He supposed that this was the benefit of learning from an especially strong master who could give him medicinal concoctions to help make up his shortcomings . To his dismay, it came at the price of one thousand liang of silver .

There was no fast road to reach the second-class . Many people in the world would only reach the second-class realm due to their lack of talent and the difficulty of the road to becoming a second-class expert .

On another day, Zhu Yun brought people to Wang Tieniu’s village, and Wang Tieniu became the hero in the eyes of the whole village . Zhu Yun told them that it was Wang Tieniu who killed the zombie and didn’t mention the sorcerer . It was the simplest explanation .

Wang Tieniu was at a loss of what to do about his sudden fame . He was just a fisherman and had never attended a day of school . He became a master of the third class so quickly that he hadn’t reconciled the knowledge in his mind .

Zhu Yun brought him five hundred liang of silver and invited Wang Tieniu to the county government’s office . Wang Tieniu was summoned by the county magistrate, and the people of the village were more proud of Wang Tieniu . Even Xiao Lian’s mother began to urge her daughter to maintain close contact with Wang Tieniu .

Xiao Lian was happy and also worried . She was afraid that Wang Tieniu would not like her any longer now that he was a big shot .

Mu Yi did not get involved . Many people in the village had seen him, but he had remained low-key . After some mental manipulation, few people could recognize him . Thus, despite Mu Yi being in the village all the time, no one except Wang Tieniu, Xiao Lian and Xiao Lian’s mother knew him .

Wang Tieniu followed Zhu Yun . According to Mu Yi, he would wander the world alone sooner or later . This was just the beginning . If he dared not take this step, he might as well stay at home and return to being a fisherman .

Wang Tieniu was a little disturbed, but he left with Zhu Yun .

Zhu Yun had some contacts, and Wang Tieniu relied on him, so they had a lot of fun together . Slowly, Wang Tieniu’s tension gradually dissipated . He was a third-class expert with great strength . It was natural to have confidence . Wang Tieniu was nervous to speak with Zhu Yun before, but now, he spoke with him as an equal .

Unconsciously, a seed of desire and hope took root in Wang Tieniu’s heart and began to sprout slowly .

In the country government office, Yang Yan seemed very happy . The zombie matter was completely solved . Zhu Yun came back to report that only with the help of a strong man, equal to Zhu Yun in strength, had he killed the sorcerer . Zhu Yun was the only third-class expert in the county government . If he could get the support of another third-class expert again, he would be extremely satisfied .

He asked Zhu Yun to invite Wang Tieniu after sending someone out to investigate Wang Tieniu’s background . He found that he was born in an ordinary, pure and innocent family . His solitary martial arts training moved Yang Yan even more .

“Brother Wang Tieniu, you can rest assured that the county magistrate will not embarrass you since you killed the sorcerer . It’s likely that the county magistrate will give you more benefits,” Zhu Yun told the Wang Tieniu as they headed to the county government’s office .

“Benefits?” Wang Tieniu was confused and looked at Zhu Yun . After all, he had already got five hundred liang of silver . It was not comparable to the wealth of the Huang family, but it was a lot of money .

Were there other rewards?
