capital.

three days later.

old zhang excitedly walked into the bookstore, with a mysterious expression on his face, and said, “little liang, 1 want to tell you some good news. last night, the former left assistant minister of the ministry of rites, xiao rang, hanged himself in sky prison.”

liang sheng looked up at old zhang, who seemed to have noticed his doubts and said somewhat defensively, “what, you don’t believe me? my aunt’s son-in-law’s cousin’s distant relative is a favored concubine of a noble, and the news is absolutely reliable.”

seeing that liang sheng was still expressionless and hadn’t reacted, old zhang was a bit annoyed. “you, what is the reason for our place being so deserted these days?

the reason is the fear of being implicated with him. now that he’s gone, it means the trouble has come to an end, and with my experience, our business will be better in a couple of days.”

however, liang sheng still was still unmoved. excited old zhang’s voice became quieter, only then realizing that little liang probably didn’t care about such things.

after all, his family’s business was rather small, so having more or fewer customers didn’t make much of a difference. the tone of his previous remark might have been a bit overboard.

thinking about it, old zhang quickly changed the subject, “little liang, help me pick a children’s book for my son to go to a private school.”

liang sheng got up from the recliner, walked to the lower left corner of the bookshelf, took out a “thousand character classic”, and handed it to old zhang. for the first time, old zhang actually took out a small piece of broken silver.

it was an unprecedented event.

liang sheng himself was a bit surprised. stingy people are indeed willing to spend money on their children. however, at the next moment, liang sheng took back that thought.

old zhang sneakily picked up another book from the counter after paying. it seemed he thought the business was improving, so he wanted to prepare more paper for wrapping steamed buns.

liang sheng watched old zhang leave, shaking his head, and laid back down on the recliner. the health cultivation method next to him had already been put away.

given his current innate realm, it was very simple for him to start practicing the health cultivation method from the beginning. in just three days, he was already close to breaking through to the second layer of the ten methods of health cultivation.

with this progress, his lifespan would subtly increase by one or two years. with such speed, he would probably reach the ninth layer in a few years, and by then, he would gain hundreds of years of life.

he wondered what level of cultivator could be on par with his longevity. however, he currently had no clue about the whereabouts of cultivation, so he could only continue waiting for the right opportunity.

but he wasn’t in a hurry. after all, what he lacked the least was time. unconsciously, another day passed as he read and enriched himself.

as the sun set, liang sheng closed the doors and windows, intending to go to the dusty garden to relax. however, after a few steps, he immediately turned back.

following that, there was a loud explosion from the east, and then thick smoke billowed. at this moment, old zhang came out and looked at the east with a worried expression.

“how unfortunate!”

if it were in any other direction, old zhang might have been excited, but the eastern city was where many honored nobles and families lived, so there was certainly no peace.

while saying this, old zhang glanced at liang sheng. “little liang, don’t go out at night recently and return home early. what’s with all this trouble lately?”

after saying that, he drooped his head and prepared to close up and go home. but while the speaker might have meant nothing, liang sheng couldn’t help but touch his nose, feeling like he was a jinx, always causing trouble wherever he went.

just like when he passed through a small town on his way to the capital, there happened to be a bandit raid. they were big thieves wanted in three prefectures and five states. he helped to capture all the bandits.

liang sheng shook his head, feeling that it was all a coincidence. however, he saw old zhang act swiftly, preparing to go home and couldn’t help admiring how perceptive the citizens of the capital were.
