j inzhou city.

in the twinkling of an eye, twenty years had passed. at this moment, liang sheng, with a touch of grey at his temples and increasingly noticeable wrinkles at the corners of his eyes, appeared mature and dignified. as he walked down the street, the young girls couldn’t help but throw a second glance his way.

just like an ordinary person, he wove through the streets, with a calm and composed air about him. even if he hadn’t activated his attribute panel concealment, people would not recognize him as a martial arts expert.

the marks of years had made him more gentle and relaxed, and his energy and blood were almost perfectly integrated, giving him a taoist-like sense of simplicity and humble strength.

at this point, he was leisurely heading to zhang rongjun’s teahouse, though the current owner was not zhang yuntai but his son zhang ruxing.

after all, zhang yuntai was old, and for the past two years, he had no longer made public appearances, preferring to spend time at home with his children and grandchildren.

moreover, he probably wouldn’t live much longer. furthermore, this year’s winter seemed particularly cold. liang sheng looked up at the overcast sky, suspecting that a heavy snowfall was imminent. he wondered if zhang yuntai could survive it.

many things had occurred in the past twenty years, and although he was not in a hurry to go to the capital, he had already collected a lot of information about it.

it just took money to solve these issues, after all, he wasn’t uncovering any secrets of the large families. collecting ordinary news from the capital was as simple as could be.

at this moment, as he just stepped into the teahouse, zhang yuntai’s son, zhang ruxing, rushed out from behind the counter with a beaming smile to greet him.

“master liang, you’re here.”

zhang ruxing gestured for him to follow, and ordered the waiter to prepare tea. “same old, remember to use the mountain spring water, don’t let master liang take a sip and ruin our reputation.”

liang sheng just chuckled and didn’t say a word. over the years, he had become a regular tea patron.

most of the teahouse customers knew him as a low-key rural gentry, which was the identity liang sheng had been masquerading as for many years.

seeing the teahouse was packed, liang sheng told zhang ruxing to go about his business and not worry about him. only then did zhang ruxing excuse himself and leave.

“those zhang family kids, they’re all well-behaved.”

soon, zhang ruxing personally brought over the tea, then went back to serve other customers. after a while, he sat down behind the counter and took a little nap.

indeed, his energy had been depleted. his grandfather’s condition was not good, and he was worried if his grandfather could survive the winter.

however, he himself was helpless. all he could do was his utmost; these past few days, he had even gone so far as to have his younger daughter sleep close to the old man, in a bid to lighten his mood.

at this moment, liang sheng was sipping tea, watching people passing by on the street. his face was calm. everyone in the world was busy, all for the sake of survival.

liang ying had returned to jinzhou city fifteen years ago, sensing that his days were numbered. unfortunately, he passed away on the road back and had to be transported by coffin. the amount of ice consumed along the way was astronomical, costing a fortune.

liang sheng secretly went to the mourning hall to see him and lamented that liang ying had devoted his entire life to the liang family, living up to his role of the liang family’s patriarch.

what a pity that even after he wormed his way into the royal court in the capital and served at xuan kong’s side, he still failed to break through to the postnatal nine-realm.

the first reason was the previous depletion of his original resources due to his desperation, and the second was that his mind was polluted by worldly desires, making his martial arts bottleneck even more solid.

however, his sacrifice wasn’t in vain. at present, there was no one threatening ye an’s position in the prince of ping’an’s mansion. once prince ping’an passed away, he would be the new prince.

as a guest elder of ye an and someone who had served xuan kong closely, liang ying indeed made the liang family flourish once again.

although the liang family still didn’t have new experts at the postnatal nine-realm, they had two pillars at the postnatal “eighth” level, and even among the younger generations, there was an expert at the postnatal seven-realm. the liang family was indeed flourishing.

the relationship between the jinshan temple and the liang family was naturally becoming closer as they needed each other. jinshan temple needed money for its development, while the liang family needed jinshan temple’s support in martial arts. it was a perfect match.

therefore, although the liang family did not have an expert at the postnatal nine-realm, liang ying really achieved the goal of only remaining as a martial arts family in jinzhou city.
