Zhang San, please behave yourself!-Chapter 900 - 834: The Vigor of Youth!

At the time when the whole Sword South Path was talking about Zhang San leading the army against Martial Marquis Manor.

Zhang San directly took his troops to Wolong Mountain for a good rest for three days.

Although the army seemed quite weary following Zhang San all the way from Capital Region Road to Sword South Path.

In reality, everyone knew that the truly tiring part was just the journey from Capital Region Road to outside of Sword South Path.

Ever since entering Capital Region Road, they marched only forty miles per day, with no battles to fight.

There were only two seemingly unavoidable conflicts.

The first was standing at the foot of Qing City Mountain, watching the light rain fall constantly for three days.

The second was this time, when they charged in forcefully, everyone thought a fight was finally happening.

But the result...

The three days of rest were genuinely comfortable!

The Divine Martial Army knew they were there to assist Zhang San in quelling the rebellion.

Unknown to others, they might really think they were on a group-building vacation in Sword South Path.

And during these three days, Zhang San not only enjoyed good food and drinks at Martial Marquis Manor, but also took the opportunity to ask Zhuge Longyin for guidance on cultivation matters.

On this particular morning, Zhang San, after his training, happened to meet Zhuge Longyin who was also out training early.

"Old Manor Master, you’re out training early too!"

Zhuge Longyin originally thought someone with Zhang San’s status might have already become complacent.

But he never expected Zhang San to persist in waking up early for daily training.

Actually, Zhuge Longyin had noticed it on the first day Zhang San woke up for training, but did not hurry to reveal himself then.

Although Zhuge Longyin agreed that Martial Marquis Manor would join the Town Martial Office with Zhang San.

Joining involves various interpretations and nuances.

Later, Zhuge Longyin discovered that not only did Zhang San have the habit of rising early for training, even the cat-eared maidservant by his side and many of Zhang San’s subordinates shared this practice.

This showed Zhang San wasn’t just putting on a show for Zhuge Longyin, but genuinely maintained this habit, inspiring those under his leadership to follow.

Thus, Zhuge Longyin’s impression of Zhang San improved a bit.

"It’s just that with older age comes insomnia and so one rises early to look around. Speaking of which, it’s uncommon for renowned young individuals like you to still wake up early for training!"

Zhang San offered Zhuge Longyin a cupped hand salute: "Oh, not at all. There are so many matters to handle during the day, and nights become truly exhausting. Rising early makes me more alert amid training, allowing me to make the most out of each day."

Zhuge Longyin initially assumed Zhang San was waking early primarily to consolidate and enhance his strength; surprisingly, Zhang San trained early to ensure a better state throughout the day.

This certainly aligned with how individuals engaged in significant endeavors often plan their days.

Suddenly, Zhuge Longyin’s impression of Zhang San improved even further.

"Speaking of which, Senior Zhuge, I have a query I wish to consult."

"What is the matter? Let’s discuss and exchange views together."

"After my Seas of Wheels underwent six Sea Tribulations, I couldn’t trigger the subsequent ones. Recently, through the Qing City Sword Sect and my disciple, I learned that using the Three Stages of Sword Intent to attack the Red Gold Wheel Sea can trigger the following three Sea Tribulations. However... I am still unclear on how to trigger the last three Sea Tribulations of Five Viscera Wheel Seas and Enlightenment Seas of Wheels."

Upon hearing this, Zhuge Longyin couldn’t help but display a hint of embarrassment on his face.

"Deputy Chief Zhang, to be honest, if you were cultivating the Heaven-Opening Wheel Sea, I would readily share all my lifelong research insights on Seas of Wheels. But since you are cultivating Five Viscera Wheel Seas and Enlightenment Seas of Wheels, then I..."

Zhuge Longyin indeed did not know how to unlock the last three Sea Tribulations of these other two Seas of Wheels.

Of course, what surprised him more was Zhang San’s simultaneous cultivation of three Seas of Wheels.

Logically, if Zhang San concentrated on one Sea of Wheels, his current strength could have likely surpassed the Purple Mansion Realm. 𝒇𝒓𝙚𝒆𝔀𝓮𝓫𝒏𝓸𝙫𝓮𝓵.𝓬𝙤𝙢

But Zhang San happened to be cultivating all three.

No wonder Zhang San could lead the Town Martial Office at such a young age.

Thus, Zhuge Longyin could only steer the conversation back to morning training.

"Speaking of which, someone like you who can wake early is indeed rare. Not to mention others, even my granddaughter, ah—I have never seen her rise early. If she wakes early, the sun must be rising from the west..."

Zhuge Longyin’s words hadn’t finished when he noticed Wang Ziteng jogging heavily on the stone path ahead.

And behind Wang Ziteng was a petite figure.

It was Zhuge Qingqing.

At this moment, Zhuge Longyin felt completely stunned.

Eighteen years!

It’s been a full eighteen years!

When have I ever witnessed Zhuge Qingqing get up early?

And today, he saw it!

Zhang San glanced at Wang Ziteng and Zhuge Qingqing running and training below, chuckled, and said: "This is good, it allows them to spend more time understanding each other and strengthens their bodies and cultivation."

Zhuge Qingqing could only nod awkwardly and say: "Yes! Yes! These two kids really get along well."

Zhuge Longyin had always been very pleased with Wang Ziteng.

After all, whether in terms of background, conditions, strength, or status, across the land, young individuals comparable to Wang Ziteng might be less than a handful.

But for some reason, seeing his indulged granddaughter eagerly following this lad left him slightly annoyed.

Though Zhuge Longyin couldn’t pinpoint exactly why he felt annoyed.

It simply was annoying.

"Old Manor Master, when do you think it would be suitable for them to marry? After pacifying King of Shu Yang Ling’s rebellion? Or perhaps choosing an auspicious time afterward?"

Zhuge Longyin furrowed his eyebrows upon hearing this.

Although he originally didn’t wish to get involved in King of Shu Yang Ling’s affairs, if his granddaughter and Wang Ziteng marry after Yang Ling’s matters.

Zhuge Longyin also feared that Yang Ling’s Old Party might hold grudges against Martial Marquis Manor.

Even if unafraid, he was ultimately worried those shameless people might seek revenge on his granddaughter.

Therefore, Zhuge Longyin remained somewhat hesitant.

Zhang San could also discern Zhuge Longyin’s hesitation.

Thus, as they walked forward, Zhang San continued: "Old Manor Master, if there are any worries, just voice them out. Anything solvable, I surely will solve."

"My main concern is that these two kids have just met, and their feelings might not be deep enough."

Speaking, Zhang San and Zhuge Longyin stopped on a higher ground spot, looking down to see underneath the old tree by the deserted path.

Wang Ziteng and Zhuge Qingqing had already embraced, kissing fervently.

"Ahem. Old Manor Master, I just recalled there’s an account in my military camp needing verification; I must take my leave for now."

Zhang San offered a cupped hand salute then stepped back, using Wind Technique to whisper to Wang Ziteng’s ear.

"Run quickly! Delay further and your legs will be broken by the Old Manor Master!"

Wang Ziteng withdrew his tongue, Zhuge Qingqing clung to him wanting to continue, when suddenly both felt a chilling dread.

Looking back, they saw the Old Manor Master walking towards them with a smile on his lips and killing intent in his eyes.

"Wang Ziteng, I heard you’ve been seeking someone to help train and improve you lately, right?"
