"The urgent matter at hand is to go to Seventh Madam and report Ninth Young Master Song Chengye's indulgence in pleasure, to avoid the fate of being sent to the army. But... what about the silver?"

  Chen Shi frowned deeply.

  The fifty taels of silver from Song Chengye had already been spent by him. If Seventh Madam asked about it, he feared there would be no good outcome if he couldn't produce the money.

  He opened Li Pao's money pouch and counted.

  A total of about 24 taels.

  After a moment of contemption.

  Chen Shi took out six taels of silver and silently thought to himself, "System, recharge."

  [Money +6]

  [Current bance: 50.24 taels.]

  [Destiny Points: 10.]

  "Hmm??"

  Chen Shi suddenly noticed.

  The simutor had a new Destiny Points section.

  He tried to open it.

  Immediately, a description popped up.

  [Destiny Points: Each time the host changes history, corresponding Destiny Points are earned. The deeper the impact on reality, the more generous the Destiny Points reward.]

  "So that's how it is."

  Chen Shi was silent.

  These Destiny Points must have come from his recent intimidation of Li Pao, which seemed to have truly scared him, temporarily quelling his thoughts of informing.

  Thus, the simutor determined he had changed history.

  But what use does this have?

  [Would you like to start the simution?]

  [Would you like to invest 10 Destiny Points to refresh your talents?]

  Seeing this, Chen Shi's heart stirred.

  He decisively clicked "Yes."

  Instantly, a line of text appeared before his eyes again.

  [Ding, refreshing talents...]

  [Ding, congratutions on successfully refreshing the White Talent · Turn of Fortune and White Talent · Silver Tongue. Please choose your talent within one minute.]

  [Turn of Fortune: At certain times, your destiny is prone to sudden changes.]

  [Silver Tongue: Your eloquence is excellent, and your tongue is exceptionally agile.]

  Seeing this talent description, Chen Shi's eyes lit up.

  So this is the purpose of Destiny Points.

  Without hesitation, he decisively chose the White Talent · Turn of Fortune.

  In this fantasy world, relying on words is useless; strength is the hard truth, and luck is conveniently a part of strength.

  Seven parts are destined by heaven, three parts rely on effort.

  [Ding, talent selection successful, life simution begins.]

  [After some thought, you decide to go to the Inner Court to report Song Chengye's indulgence in pleasure.]

  [Due to your viotion of rules and unauthorized use of money, Lin Manqing ordered you to be whipped twenty-six times... At the age of eighteen, you knelt at Lin Manqing's feet, as humble as a ckey.]

  [In your anger, you secretly vowed that one day, you would make Seventh Madam kneel and look up to you like this.]

  [After the whipping, Lin Manqing found you troublesome, fearing more incidents if you stayed at the Divine General's Manor, yet unwilling to kill you and leave a vilinous image in the hearts of the Song family juniors. After much consideration, she decided to send you out of the manor, freeing you from your sve status, to work as a storyteller at a teahouse outside the city, as a reward for your meritorious report.]

  [Startled by this, you couldn't hide your reaction and immediately demonstrated your strength as a Skin Refining Stage martial artist, shattering a floor tile with a punch, and decred: Storytelling is not my desire, but I wish for peace in the world.]

  [You requested to stay at the Divine General's Manor to continue your studies, hoping to follow the Song family martyrs, die for the country, guard the borders, and return wrapped in horsehide once you had achieved success.]

  [Your impassioned words moved a guard from the military, who voluntarily pleaded on your behalf, calling you a promising talent and a loyal and righteous person.]

  [Lin Manqing was also surprised by the ambition of a mere servant, so she changed her mind and assigned you to the Martial Practice Field as a sparring partner for the Song family disciples, sternly warning you not to lead them into indulgence, or no one could protect you.]

  ***

  "Sparring partner at the Martial Practice Field?"

  Chen Shi was a bit surprised.

  This was a good position, simir to the role of a companion reader in ancient times.

  Besides having fixed cultivation resources each month, those with outstanding abilities could be chosen by the Song family prodigies as protectors, soaring to great heights was not a dream, and countless people in the manor were vying for this position.

  For someone at the Skin Refining Stage to get in.

  It was probably thanks to the favor of that military guard.

  Or perhaps, the talent had taken effect.

  ***

  [The next day, you officially entered the Martial Practice Field as a sparring partner. Due to your weakling strength, the steward assigned you to the Elementary Css, where your sparring partners were a bunch of little kids in open-crotch pants. The steward instructed you not to hold back due to your status, as long as you didn't kill or cripple them, you must give it your all. This was an ancestral rule set by the Song family ancestors, and sycophants would be expelled from the Martial Practice Field.]

  [You took this to heart, showing no mercy. On that day, you punched and made over twenty Song family colteral descendants cry.]

  [The steward appreciated your character and promoted you to Martial Master of Elementary Css 5 that day, with a monthly sary of five taels of silver. He also gave you a booklet called 'Rocksteady Breathing Technique,' which included the five lower stages of the Martial Path: Skin Refining Stage, Flesh Refining Stage, Muscle Refining Stage, Organ Refining Stage, and Bone Refining Stage.]

  [On the third day, with your promotion, you struck hard...]

  [On the fourth day, Song Chengye limped to find you, cursing you for being disloyal, a despicable and shameless person...]

  [On the fifth day, you struck hard again...]

  [On the sixth day, a mother brought her bruised and swollen son to make a scene, calling you inhuman by name. You were startled and about to step forward to apologize, but saw the steward sternly reprimand her, saying if she dared to cause trouble again, her child would be expelled from the Martial Practice Field. The mother retreated in fear... The steward's tough measures impressed you greatly, and from then on, you had no qualms about your actions.]

  [On the seventh day, at noon, at your residence, a beautiful woman with exceptional charm suddenly came to visit. You recognized her as the mother who caused trouble a few days ago. Just when you thought she was here to make trouble, the beautiful woman presented a gift, pleading with you to show mercy to her child. With tearful eyes, she expressed that her husband died early, leaving only this one child in the family, who couldn't afford any accidents...]

  [In the end, the beautiful woman even removed her outer garments and dress, throwing herself into your arms, hinting that she was willing to repay you with her body.]

  [In your stunned state, the beautiful woman quickly untied your belt. Realizing her inappropriate actions, you suddenly reacted and pushed her away forcefully.]

  [The beautiful woman fell to the ground, her arm scraped and bleeding, but a cold smile appeared on her pretty face.]

  ["I can't live anymore!"]

  [In your shocked gaze, the beautiful woman ran out of the room with disheveled clothes and hair, crying as she ran...]

  [That day, you were taken away by the Enforcement Hall. Unable to withstand the severe torture, you signed a confession of guilt, the charge being: lustful desires, abusing your position to attempt to viote a married woman...]

  [Since the beautiful woman was only a distant retive of the Song family, and you failed in your attempt, with the protection of your martial artist status, you barely kept your life. But you felt no joy, as the verdict was: imprisonment, and the day after tomorrow, you would be sent with a group of prisoners to the Liangzhou Bordernds to build a city.]

  Seeing this, Chen Shi's back felt a bit cold.

  The same outcome as st time!

  No surprise.

  This time, the masked man in bck was waiting for him on the road again.

  Through these two simutions, he figured it out. The person plotting against him was likely deeply connected with the Song family's Enforcement Hall.

  Because the procedure was absurdly fast!
