Master Chen felt a surge of warmth in his heart. Everyone had to put themselves in someone else's shoes. From my words, Master Chen could feel my sincerity.
The atmosphere of the originally peaceful Jiangwu Exchange Conference became a little strange after this farce. The originally arrogant martial artists no longer had their arrogance. Instead, they looked at me anxiously, afraid that I would cause trouble for them.
Although there are many people who want to offer me an olive branch, they can't help but think about themselves. After all, regardless of whether it is the art of alchemy or the strength of martial arts, I have incomparably brilliant attainments. Even these unruly martial artists dare not have the slightest bit of contempt in their hearts.
On the other hand, the faces of the Jianghu people who had mocked and ridiculed me turned red. Even if they were thick-skinned, they still felt embarrassed. From a certain perspective, I had become the pride of the Jianghu people. After all, in the past hundred or so years, there had been examples of people using their identities as Jianghu people to fight against martial artists. However, I had never heard of a counterattack like this. Because of this, they couldn't help but admire me, but more than that, they felt ashamed.
"Actually, you don't have to suck up to martial artists like this. Although they are ahead in many aspects, it doesn't mean that you are inferior. I know that everyone who came here is unwilling to be left behind. It's just that various factors prevented you from having the chance to display your skills," I looked around and said calmly. My words revealed their inner thoughts.
I paused for a moment, then added, "Moreover, I can also see that some people have indeed made ample preparations and hid their strength well. However, some people just want to try their luck. No matter what, I want to give you a piece of advice. The path of martial arts must be steady and steady. Even if you are lucky enough to enter a martial arts sect, you might not be able to achieve anything. Instead, you might be at the mercy of others. Therefore, I have to give you a piece of advice. Cultivate steadily. When your hard work and improvement is enough to move the martial artists, what will come will naturally come."
Without a doubt, these were my true thoughts. Although I didn't have much interaction with them, I had come from that stage, so I wanted to communicate with them.
These people looked like they were in deep thought.
Originally, the main purpose of our trip to the underground black market was to look for treasures that could cure Leng Yue's illness. However, we accidentally ran into Grandmaster Chen's acquaintance, which led to a series of disputes. Fortunately, at least I showed Grandmaster Chen some respect. Moreover, after this incident, my reputation in Jianghu had completely spread, and it would more or less spread to the martial arts world.
This was completely different from the battle with the Five Poison Sect protector in the True Martial Pavilion. Although what I did today was rather high profile, there were some things that had to be faced. After all, not long after, I had to represent the True Martial Pavilion and participate in a promotion competition organized by the martial world. It wasn't a bad thing to make an early of fame!
After my reminder, the exchange meeting ended on a sour note. Although those martial artists had suffered in silence, they didn't dare to vent their anger on me. It was really funny.
After a while, we arrived at the underground black market, a place where martial artists could freely trade.
As soon as we walked through the door, we felt a wave of noise. Basically, there were all kinds of accents. These people were dressed like ordinary people, but most of them wore masks. Some were discussing the price of goods, while others took out their phones and played games. This made my jaw drop.
Perhaps this was also a way to promote relationships. After all, in this day and age, people who were good at games usually didn't have much of a social skill.
Speaking of which, I couldn't feel any strong aura from them. Overall, the difference in strength wasn't too big.
On the side, Master Chen couldn't help but sigh. "Nowadays, the people in the martial world are keeping up with the times. In the past, they were immersed in martial arts cultivation, and each one was more like a martial arts fanatic than the other. But now, if they want to maintain the prosperity of their own forces, they can't do anything without doing business. Otherwise, they would be like a 'poor ghost' like me." Master Chen said in a slightly self-mocking tone.
I quickly waved my hand. "No, no. Master, what are you saying? What you are doing is clean. To put it bluntly, those forces that try to make money are more or less stained. But you are able to maintain your original color in this big dye vat. This alone is worthy of admiration." "Sigh, you are being tactful. In fact, I understand.
The disciples of the Guowei Martial Arts School always think that I am old-fashioned, rigid, and inflexible. In fact, they only consider the situation in front of them and don't have any foresight. I can say that except for the Guowei Martial Arts School, the other five major martial arts schools won't have an easy time once the higher-ups investigate them. Although this possibility isn't high, I don't want to take this risk. It's not worth it to ruin my reputation for some worldly possessions. Fortunately, God has eyes and let me meet such a talented disciple like you. "Master Chen patted my shoulder and said with a face full of emotion.
It had been less than a month since I came to the capital, but I had given the Guowei Martial Arts School a driving force. Now, the Guowei Martial Arts School seemed to have the momentum to become the leader.
This was especially true for the internal assessment of the martial arts dojo. My strict and harsh assessment rules not only won Grandmaster Chen's approval and praise, but also established the overall atmosphere of the martial arts dojo. This was very important.
If the other disciples saw it, even if they didn't say it, they would have opinions in their hearts.
