Chapter 458 Waves
On the sixth day of the Lunar New Year, Chen Chuan woke up from his sleep early in the morning. After two days of relaxation, the effect of the memory potion emerged again.

This time, the woman with light brown hair appeared again. She was folding her arms and talking to another person.

The man had the temperament of a company executive and his expression was very serious, as if he was warning or persuading someone.

I don't know where this is, it seems to be on a plank road. Red lanterns are floating in the sky, and the sound of firecrackers can be heard occasionally.

He took a look. Was it the Chinese New Year? No wonder this memory came to his mind at this time.

The mother in this life seemed to be leaning on a railing at the side, not listening to their conversation, only the occasional irritable sound of the woman could be heard.

After a while, the woman came back angrily, and the company executive seemed to want to chase her, but the mother stepped forward and blocked her way. In the end, the man did not catch up with her, but turned and left.

After everyone left, this mother started talking with the brown-haired woman, and as they walked they came to the edge of a cliff. He didn't know where this was, but he wrote down the words on the cliff next to him and planned to look it up again after returning to the central city.

At this time, the content of the two people's conversation caught his attention slightly.

Although the two of them had talked a lot before, the woman never mentioned her identity or background once, but this time, the woman said that she would not return to the company.

He thought thoughtfully, it seemed that this woman might be a senior executive of a company, and his mother might be responsible for her security, but it was not clear which company it was.

But thinking about the card left by my parents in this life, there may be a connection between the two.

Just as I was thinking about it, sporadic sounds of firecrackers were heard outside.

He took a look and got up from the bed. He didn't need to waste his energy guessing for now. He should be able to get the specific clues as he recalled more.

After he got dressed, he went out to wash up. He had to go to Cheng Zitong's house to pay New Year's greetings today, so he had to leave early.

During the New Year's Day in Dashun, Gong Zhanxin, the direct heir of the old royal family of the Outer Ocean Islands, went to the main hall of Langtao Pavilion on Erwen Island in person on behalf of the Ferris Wheel Company.

Accompanied by several retainers and followers of the Gaotian Sect, he entered the gym under the gaze of a group of disciples in fighting uniforms.

An hour later, he walked out of the hall and said to the representative of Ferris Wheel Company who was waiting outside, "Master Fenghe has agreed. He will send out the most proud disciple of this generation, Jian Chengsheng."

"Most proud?"

The Ferris Wheel Company representative couldn't help but question: "Shouldn't it be the best?"

The retainer Tsuna Eitaru who was accompanying him spoke sternly, "Please be careful with your words, Your Excellency. The person standing before you is the current head of the Gong family, the Gong Wang Dadian."

The company representative bowed and said, "Please forgive me, I did not mean to disrespect Gong."

Gong Zhanxin didn't mind. He maintained his elegant demeanor and said with a smile, "Your Excellency is here for the company's business and for the well-being of the overseas islands. Our goals are the same."

"Thank you for your understanding, Your Excellency."

Gong Zhanxin said: "In the beginning, I did want Master Fenghe to send out his most outstanding disciple."

"Then why didn't Master Fenghe agree?"

As Tsuna Eizuka glared at him again, the company representative took the initiative to apologize and bowed again, saying, "Master, please forgive me. I was just a little anxious because the goal this time is different. We have failed before, and we don't want to make you go through this again."

Gong Zhanxin said, "Thank you for your consideration, but..." He said without hesitation, "Although Gong still has some influence, it does not have absolute control over Langtao Pavilion. Langtao Pavilion is willing to give us a favor because they are willing to keep this promise. I cannot make decisions on their behalf."

The company representative thought for a moment, looked up and said, "Can't it be changed?"

Gong Zhanxin shook his head slightly.

"I understand. I will report the truth to the company." After saying that, the company representative left with his people.

After he left, Tsunayoshi turned around with a knife in hand and said, "Master, this company representative is so rude. They clearly rely on you to make a move, but they still don't respect you."

Gong Zhanxin seemed to be very open-minded. "Isn't this obvious? They really respect me, and I don't have to come here according to their wishes."

He turned around, looked in the direction of Langtao Pavilion, and said calmly: "Even if it's Langtao Pavilion, isn't it using the name of our Gong family as a shield? They are not as loyal as he appears to be."

Tsunayoshi said angrily: "What a bunch of traitors."

"Tsunayoshi, you don't understand. On the outer islands, anyone who has survived the old times and is still living well, all of them carry stains and shame. Just like you and me."

Gong Zhanxin sighed and said, "There are no loyal and righteous people anymore."

After the Ferris Wheel Company's representatives returned to the ship in the harbor, they immediately began sending telegrams, and the head office received the news shortly afterwards.

After careful evaluation, they felt that this candidate was feasible because theoretically this was the most suitable person that Langtaokan could send out at the moment.

Some of the older disciples of Langtao Pavilion are either well-known or have entered the Land of Integration early on. The former will be closely watched when they enter Dashun, while the latter have missions to undertake and it will be difficult for them to come back for the time being.

But Makoto Masaaki is different. He is not very famous outside, but that does not mean he has no ability. Since he achieved some success at the age of fourteen, he has been challenging famous people everywhere in overseas island countries, but he only uses a pseudonym, which is very rare because people in overseas countries often do everything they can to become famous.

He suffered repeated defeats at the beginning, but he has not lost since he was fifteen. It is said that even among his peers, he rarely meets an opponent. Langtao Pavilion sent this disciple out with sincerity. On the beach on the south side of Erwen Island, a young man who looked to be about eighteen or nineteen years old stood on the reef by the sea, holding the long sword at his waist in one hand, looking at the oncoming waves.

He had his hair in a bun and wore ancient clothes from the old times. His blue robe fluttered in the sea breeze. His skin was relatively rough and his fingers and palms were thick, but there was a charm on his face that was hard for ordinary people to ignore. There was always a persistence in his eyes, as if he could defeat the raging waves and go against the tide.

"Shengjun, the owner wants you to go back."

Jian Chengsheng turned around, bowed to the servant who delivered the message, then jumped off the reef and turned back along the way.

Langtao Pavilion was built on a small hill. The sound of surging waves could be heard all year round. Two rows of bright red flower trees were planted in front of the door. The petals fell down, spreading all over the road ahead like splashing blood.

There is a residence in front of the mountain path, and there is a big stone beside the path with the words "Langtao" inscribed on it. It looks imposing, as if the sea waves are surging.

After passing Fangju, he came to the upper part, walked up the wooden plank-paved corridor, and came to the main hall's grand viewing room. On both sides, attendants lifted bamboo curtains with bamboo poles. Jian Chengsheng took off his shoes, stepped on the mirror-clear wooden floor, came to the front, bowed with ancient etiquette, and said respectfully, "Teacher."

On the wall of the viewing room, there was a huge scroll with the words "Wen Lei" inscribed on it, and below, sitting in a reclining position was Feng Heshou, the owner of Langtao Pavilion.

This was a skinny man with long hair that fell to the ground. He was unusually tall, and seemed to be about two meters tall just sitting there.

When he stood in front of him, Makoto seemed like a child in terms of size comparison.

Feng Heshou said: "I originally planned to send you to the Fusion Land for training, where you can learn the next stage of skills, but we have made a promise to the Gong royal family. As long as the direct descendants of the Gong family invite us, we will send at least one outstanding disciple to serve them."

Makoto Masaaki listened silently.

Feng Heshou said: "Now they need to get rid of a Dashun fighter, I plan to let you go."

Jian Chengsheng said calmly: "Shouldn't the teacher's best disciples be Senior Brothers Bian Yue and San Cheng?"

Feng Heshou said: "When they were your age, they were not as good as you."

"But since we are going to defeat the enemy, shouldn't we send out our best disciples?"

Feng Heshou said: "Among the twenty-one pavilions that have been passed down since ancient times in the outer ocean islands, only three are still in existence. The reason why Langtao Pavilion can still occupy it now is not just relying on military force, but because we know how to make choices.

If I am the past of Lang Tao Pavilion, your brothers are the present of Lang Tao Pavilion, and you are the future of Lang Tao Pavilion. I have entrusted the future to Gong Clan, and that is the greatest trust of Lang Tao Pavilion."

"I understand." Masaaki Masaaki bowed deeply.

Feng He Shou said: "I allow you to take the reputation of Lang Tao Pavilion with you. If you can come back, you can carve your name on the bamboo and stone behind the pavilion. If you fail, you will also have a place on the monument of sacrifice in front."

Makoto Masaaki raised his head and said solemnly: "Teacher, please listen to the voice of the future in the hall. I will bring the name back."

At this time, a maid came over with small steps. She brought a large bowl of medicinal wine with a pungent smell and placed it in front of Jian Chengsheng.

Feng Heshou said: "Drink this bowl of medicinal wine."

Jian Chengsheng picked it up without hesitation and drank it down. But after a while, he began to feel numb and itchy all over.

He wiped it casually and found that the calluses on his hands began to fall off, and the rough old skin on his body and face that had been blown by the sea breeze for many years also fell off layer by layer, revealing his fair skin.

In just a short while, he turned into a handsome young man with red lips and white teeth. This was actually his original appearance, but he seemed to have become two or three years younger.

Apart from his eyes which still looked firm and determined, even people who were familiar with him would find it difficult to recognize him at first glance.

Feng Heshou said: "Although your biological information has never been recorded by Dashun, and you used a pseudonym when you challenged others, it can still be found and recognized by others.

This is the 'White Baby Wine' sent by the Ferris Wheel Company. It can make your skin as smooth and tender as a newborn baby's. You can enter Dashun at an age two years younger than before."

Then he said, "You don't need to bring anything. The people from the Ferris Wheel Company have prepared it for you. You only need to bring your knife and the knife skills I taught you.

You can go now."

"Disciple, take your leave."

Jian Chengsheng bowed respectfully, then stood up, holding the long sword at his waist and walked out. When he walked past the Wave Rock, a voice came from behind: "Hey, kid."

He turned around and saw a lame old man with messy hair and shabby clothes. He was the gatekeeper of Langtao Pavilion. He bowed and said, "Senior."

The old man said to him: "Reputation is something that only the living care about, so come back alive and don't die."

Jian Chengsheng did not answer, but just bowed and walked towards the ships anchored on the beach with steady steps.
