Chapter 68: 66. No risk, no game_2
Suddenly, someone beside him started laughing.
It seemed like a child.
Yet, the child’s mouth was immediately covered by someone.
Song Cheng looked over, and the morning breeze blew in from the window, stirring the ink sea, revealing the two pale white humanoid figures not far away.
One was a woman of considerable charm, and the other was a young boy.
Song Cheng waved his hand.
The entire dining hall suddenly fell silent.
Yesterday, in just half a day, the entire An Family had turned upside down, and the person Miss An once relied on for being the “cash cow” was actually this young master.
So, even if this young master was blind or rustic, he could not be ridiculed.
Even if those mocking him were just children.
Who couldn’t see that the Third Uncle, who once “dominated everything” and was set to inherit the An Family, had already been dealt with by family law, and now both his legs had been broken and he was reflecting in the ancestral hall?
The woman hurriedly said, “Young master, I am Madam An’s aunt, An Hongjuan. Just now Wan’er wasn’t laughing on purpose…”
Before she finished, Song Cheng interrupted her with a gentle smile, “Chenyu’s aunt is also my aunt. Aunt Hongjuan, I will serve you tea in a moment.”
With that, he nodded slightly as a gesture of respect.
The woman named An Hongjuan was momentarily stunned. In her eyes, the blind youth had a clean face and exuded sincerity, making her involuntarily nod gently.
But after nodding, she suddenly became afraid.
Judging by herself, she thought that if she were in Song Cheng’s position, she would certainly be arrogant.
Yet a moment later, Song Cheng did indeed adhere to the etiquette of a son-in-law living with his wife’s family, serving tea to the elders of the An Family one by one. When serving tea, he would also sit down and chat casually with them.
After this, he clearly saw a significant increase in the An Family members’ goodwill towards him, rising from an initial 40 or 50 to 60 or 70.
On the other hand, An Chenyu was organizing household affairs and establishing the An Family Scripture Pavilion.
The cultivation techniques stored in this pavilion exceeded the original “Willow Brushing Force” and “Extreme Force”; there were also the “White Snake Force,” “Mysterious Turtle Force,” and “Melting Strength Insights,” which Song Cheng dictated and Ling recorded.
Martial artists needed a token to enter the pavilion.
And the first batch of martial artists who received tokens was numerous; besides Tong Jia and Ying, the “privileged class,” Mr. Wang, Wang Tianma, Wan Qing, and other Force Realm experts of the An Family also received the right to enter, as well as the eleven martial arts hall disciples, and many with power force talent in the An Family.
However, the permissions inside were further distinguished.
For instance, newcomers to the Power Force were only allowed to view the “Willow Brushing Force” to establish their foundation, and so on.
Beyond the “Scripture Pavilion,” An Chenyu also established a “Martial Artists’ Dining Hall.”
The meals in the hall were mostly luxurious, replenishing the martial artists’ vital energy with meats, paired with some vegetables, fruits, and white bread.
In addition, the dining hall offered “demon beast meat” and some special cultivation pills, but these required a token to obtain.
These matters had been discussed by An Chenyu and Song Cheng.
An Chenyu thought that in this chaotic world, money must quickly be converted into family power.
Song Cheng suggested that a “family contribution point” system could be established to exchange contribution points for the right to read cultivation techniques and resources.
But An Chenyu felt that the An Family’s resources were still scarce, so implementing this might be impractical, agreeing to first grow and strengthen.
Song Cheng just made random suggestions based on novels he had read in his previous life and didn’t intend to interfere much.
Managing such matters involved too many details and was quite headache-inducing.
…
An Chenyu busied herself with her tasks.
Ying and Madam Tong immersed themselves in training.
As for Song Cheng, he was left with only Ling, who could either have all sorts of things to do or none at all.
“Accompany the young master for a walk outside, I want to walk a bit more.”
“Alright, young master.”
Ling had long adapted to the young master’s ways.
Song Cheng went out to observe the martial abilities of the people outside and to collect information to assess the reputation of the “White Camel Estate, Shanhe Martial Arts Hall, Pearl Mountain Taoist Temple,” and to see if he could understand “what exactly happened in the northern region.”
They walked from morning until noon, then ate lunch and continued walking… until returning at dusk.
Not much was gained.

But Song Cheng had gained a slightly deeper understanding of the entire Prefectural City.
Actually, apart from the influence of the three major powers, the people in the Prefectural City weren’t much different from those in the county, mostly ordinary people. Some martial arts halls and small sects were similarly limited, with “Force Realm Experts” as the pinnacle of martial strength.
This showed how rare “Form Realm” cultivation techniques were, not to mention those beyond the “Form Realm.”
Reflecting on the numerous “Force Realm disciples” he saw after circling outside the White Camel Estate last night, it seemed they all might be head over heels trying to obtain a “Form Realm” cultivation technique inheritance, right?
The competition was indeed intense.
As for those beyond the “Form Realm,” they were likely the treasured inheritance of sects like the “White Camel Estate.”
Originally, Song Cheng thought about assessing whether the “White Camel Estate” was worthwhile to join; if it had a good reputation, he might try.
After all, if he could access a “Grade A Yellow Level” cultivation technique, it would save him the trouble of understanding it himself.
But now, he dismissed the idea once again.
Even though he possessed recommendation letters from Chen Hou and Ouyang Fei, he decided not to use them.
Because even if he joined the “White Camel Estate,” reaching a level where he could access those beyond the “Form Realm” techniques would require spending countless effort and becoming embroiled in numerous conflicts, ultimately needing to become the Estate Master’s disciple to even see them.
Given all this, he decided not to join.
A Longevity Person’s perspective differed from ordinary people.
Ordinary people believed “without entering the tiger’s lair, how can one obtain the tiger cub,” “wealth is sought amidst risk.”
Song Cheng did not think this way.
He had terrifying patience and an extreme sensitivity to danger.
He would conduct “risk assessments” and “complexity assessments,” and if these assessments exceeded his psychological expectations, he would not risk becoming stronger.
Time floats by leisurely, with centuries, even millennia passing in the blink of an eye; wouldn’t it do to grow strong and then act as one wished?
The time cost, though exceedingly high for anyone, was hardly a concern for Longevity People.
Therefore, Song Cheng affirmed his strategy in the Prefectural City.
First, collect numerous low-realm martial arts to perfect the “True Form of Xuanwu,” thus forming a stronger, more perfect cultivation technique.
Second, secretly seek out Form Strength experts for sparring, thereby increasing the odds of deducing a “Grade A Yellow Level” technique.
Third, leverage the An Family’s economic support and the Prefectural City’s resources for potential advancements.
While pursuing these efforts, he also aimed to understand what was happening in the North and to find a refuge in the South.
For him, the An Family—this small power—was already sufficient!
He had no intention of joining a large force and exhausting himself climbing its ranks.
