Chapter 677: Chapter 44: Unable to Believe Wang Qintan!
Outside the Martial Refining Tower.
As Liu Sansheng shouted the words âCommander Jiang,â everyone outside the tower turned their heads again.
âBrother Sansheng!â Yan Youhu saw Liu Sansheng appear and immediately greeted him.
His expression contained a hint of envy.
Because Liu Sansheng is now someone with a genuine official position.
Moreover, he is currently a popular inspector team leader.
A team leader commands a small squad, under whom are nine Martial Arts Nine Grade practitioners at his disposal.
Any of these conditions can make him feel envious.
It also made him regret.
Last year, his father had arranged an opportunity for him, a chance to join the Inspection Office and become a team leader.
But he gave it up because he wanted to focus on martial arts training. Once he achieved success in martial arts, such a small ninth-grade official position would be easily attainable.
Furthermore, as the Inspection Office was newly established, he couldnât see through whether joining was good or bad; the institution felt too unstable and unreliable to him.
Later, as the Inspection Office was established and made its mark with a few influential figures, he realized that its practice of acting first and reporting later was genuine.
It is an institution genuinely above all officials and citizens.
He regretted it afterward, but it was too late to regret at that moment.
Missing the opportunity of the Inspection Officeâs founding, joining later was not so simple.
Even as the son of the Capital Commandant, it was still the case.
Whether it was the Inspection Office in Dongling City or other counties, it wouldnât show his father any favor.
The rising status of the Inspection Office also elevated the standing of those from the Martial Arts Garden who joined and held any position there.
Liu Sansheng is one of them.
Even if Martial Arts Garden students whispered behind their backs, saying these people simply had good luck and stumbled upon a great opportunity.
No Martial Arts Garden student dared openly disparage those fortunate enough to hold any position in the Inspection Office.

Outside the Martial Refining Tower.
âBrother Youhu!!â Liu Sansheng greeted the Capital Commandant Yan.
Then he looked at Jiang Ning.
âCommander Jiang, you are indeed here!â
âBrother Liu, are you looking for me?â
âCommander Jiang, donât call me brother, I donât deserve it!!â Liu Sandui heard Jiang Ningâs greeting and immediately waved his hand repeatedly: âWanwan may be your sister-in-law, and she and I are siblings, but we should each keep to our own! Just call me Sansheng or Little Liu!â
Yan Youhu: ââŠâ
He looked at Liu Sansheng, who was excitedly running in front of Jiang Ning, feeling speechless.
The name âLittle Liuâ seemed a bit enchanting to him.
Liu Sansheng, in the Martial Arts Garden, is considered a significant figure.
Even as the son of the Capital Commandant, he had to call him Brother Liu.
Yet, in front of this young man, heâs calling himself Little Liu.
âWho is he??â Yan Youhu suddenly looked at Jiang Ning, filled with curiosity.
Just now, although he noticed Jiang Ning standing beside Wang Qintan, looking quite a pair, he didnât pay much attention.
Because he knows he is not suited for Wang Qintan.
Wang Qintan is the Prefectural Governorâs eldest daughter, and speaking just in terms of status, few in Dongling City can match her.
Not to mention Wang Qintanâs remarkable talent.
She entered the Martial Arts Garden less than three years ago and is only a step away from completing the ninth level of the Martial Refining Tower, finishing her ascent.
In his eyes, the only one in the Martial Arts Garden with martial arts talent matching Lin Qingtan is Lin He.
Lin He, despite being of humble origins, rose from the bottom step by step.
His extraordinary talent and humble status, entering the Martial Arts Garden for two years, is now about to clear the ninth level of the Martial Refining Tower, nearing completion of the ascent.
This talent makes him the first in Dongling Martial Arts Garden over the past decade.
He is undoubtedly a young grandmaster in the making.
This is why he is willing to call Lin He, a person of humble origin, brother.
Calling a future grandmaster brother is not shameful.
Building a relationship early is an emotional investment.
Off to the side.
Watching Liu Sanshengâs repeated gesture, Jiang Ning smiled and did not insist.
âBrother Liu!! Why have you come looking for me?â
Hearing Jiang Ningâs address, Liu Sansheng immediately smiled.
âOh, nothing significant! I heard Commander Jiang came to the Martial Arts Garden; weâre family, so how could I not come to show you the way and fulfill half the duty of a host.â
âWith my sister here, you donât need to show him the way!â Wang Qinghan spoke.
Liu Sansheng immediately noticed Wang Qintan, known as the countryâs beauty, and gave an awkward smile.
âSo it is Sister Wang indeed; no need for me to lead the way with Sister Wang here!â
Actually, even before coming, he knew it was Wang Qintan leading Jiang Ning to tour the Martial Arts Garden.
Yet, he still pretended not to know and came to find Jiang Ning, his purpose merely to make his presence felt and show some goodwill.
It was also carrying out the task assigned by their second lord.
Coming from Luoshui County to Dongling City, no one knew Jiang Ning better than he.
He didnât want anything to do with that task.
Whether Liu Boming lived or died was of no concern to him.
The Liu family is vast, with many members having blood ties.
He didnât feel much affection for Liu Boming, his cousin.
The next moment.
Liu Sansheng looked at the swaying bronze bell on the eaves of the ninth level.
âBrother Youhu, is Lin He challenging the ninth level of the Martial Refining Tower?â
âIt is indeed Brother Lin!â Yan Youhu gazed worshipfully at the ninth level of the Martial Arts Tower.
âIt seems like Lin He has a chance to become the first student to receive special admission and enjoy special treatment this year,â Liu Sansheng remarked.
âSince Brother Linâs last failure, facing the ninth level again, he naturally has considerable confidence!â Yan Youhu agreed deeply.
