Chapter 42: Second Round
"You must be Chen Qing, I often hear Xiao Fang mention you."
Xu Xiuhua's voice was gentle, her smile radiant, "Indeed, you have an imposing bearing and handsome appearance."
Chen Qing cupped his fists, "Madam flatters me, my meager skills might only invite ridicule."
Xu Fang certainly wouldn't mention him often, this was merely polite talk.
"It's not easy for someone presentable to emerge from Mute Bay, so I'll speak directly."
Xu Xiuhua restrained her smile and got straight to the point, "You have considerable potential, and my household is in need of a head guard. Though the Huang family isn't a martial arts clan, we have deep roots and extensive connections in this area. Meat, medicinal supplements, and even future martial arts connections and career advancement, as long as you nod in agreement, the Huang family can provide all of this for you."
She paused slightly, emphasizing her words, "You need only focus on martial arts training and serve me loyally. With my backing, your martial path will surely be a hundred times smoother than struggling alone out there."
Head guard!?
If it were someone else, they might already be thrilled.
