Inheriting a security escort agency, the game begins with escorting the eldest princess.

Chapter 2 Escorting Princess Zhangjing

Inside Qingyang City.

The burly man with a thick beard strode forward, afraid of missing the princess's selection, when he suddenly noticed Chu Sheng following him. "Boy, what are you doing following me?"

Chu Sheng said, "Isn't it the Eldest Princess who recruited martial artists to escort us? I'd like to join in too."

The burly man with the bushy beard paused, looking at Chu Sheng with surprise. "You're participating too? Are you a martial artist?"

"I've studied martial arts for a few years," Chu Sheng said calmly.

The burly man with a thick beard narrowed his eyes. "You look familiar. Have we met before? What's your name? And who was your master?"

"Zhenyuan Escort Agency, Chu Sheng!"

"My master is Chu Wu!"

"Oh, you're the young master of Zhenyuan Escort Agency. That's alright then." The burly man with the bushy beard had initially been interested in befriending Chu Sheng when he heard that Chu Sheng was going to participate in the Martial Artists' Morning and Evening. However, upon learning his identity, he immediately quickened his pace.

The Zhenyuan Escort Agency has now fallen into complete ruin. Everyone in the martial arts world knows that Chu Wu is seriously injured and barely clinging to life. The Zhenyuan Escort Agency has become a place that no one cares about.

As for Chu Sheng... everyone in Qingyang City knows him. His martial arts are mediocre, and he only knows how to listen to music in brothels.

Watching the burly man's departing figure, Chu Sheng smiled helplessly. "People have misunderstood me."

He didn't really care about what others thought; his priority was to complete the mission of escorting the princess, otherwise the system rewards would be revoked, and he would be back to square one.

When Chu Sheng arrived at the courtyard of the Princess of the North City, the recruitment of warriors had already ended, and he was stopped at the gate by two guards.

The last person to join the escort team was the burly man with a thick beard who had been chatting with Chu Sheng earlier. He was now standing inside the door, looking at Chu Sheng with a smug expression.

"Your Highness, please wait!"

"Let me escort you back to the capital; I can guarantee your absolute safety."

"And I'm cheaper than them."

Chu Sheng chose to engage in a price war simply to attract the attention of the Eldest Princess and secure the escort mission. Money was irrelevant to him; he only wanted to protect the Eldest Princess's safety.

Li Anlan turned to look at the sound, her delicate brows furrowing slightly. Her gaze fell on Chu Sheng, and she asked, "Who is he?"

The burly man with a thick beard volunteered, "Your Highness, this boy is Chu Sheng, the young master of Zhenyuan Escort Agency. He only knows a little bit of martial arts and is not up to any great task. He cannot complete the mission of escorting Your Highness."

Zhenyuan Escort Agency?

Li Anlan shook her head. "If Chu Wu were at his peak, I would definitely choose him. As for Chu Sheng... let him leave!"

Three years ago, when she traveled to Beiyong City, she passed through Qingyang City and heard some rumors about Chu Sheng, so she chose to believe Li Kuang's words.

Two guards received orders and pushed Chu Sheng, signaling him to leave.

Just then, Chu Sheng frowned slightly. A chilling aura filled the air as dozens of auras converged towards the villa.

There was a murderous aura about him. He looked at Li Anlan and said, "Princess, be careful. Someone is going to attack you."

The martial artists standing next to Li Anlan all stared at Chu Sheng as if he were a fool. What nonsense was he spouting in broad daylight? This was Qingyang City. Who would dare to lay a hand on the Princess?

next moment.

The smiles on their faces vanished completely, and black-clad figures surged out from the surrounding pavilions, swords in hand, charging towards the courtyard. Li Anlan was shocked, his bright eyes falling on Chu Sheng, who had actually sensed that someone was about to make a move.

Such strong perception.

For a moment, Li Anlan was filled with curiosity about Chu Sheng; he seemed quite different from the rumors.

His ability to sense danger alone surpasses that of everyone else present, making him qualified to join the escort team.

"Everyone, stop the assassin for me!"

At Li Anlan's command, he strode towards Chu Sheng.

The sound of weapons clashing echoed in the courtyard. The man in black had already clashed with the martial arts practitioners when suddenly a dark figure wielding a sword charged towards Li Anlan with incredible speed. Two guards tried to stop the man in black.

With a flick of his sword, blood splattered, and the guard was sent flying.

The man in black charged forward relentlessly, his long sword pointed directly at Li Anlan. The latter looked somewhat flustered and tried to draw his sword to block, but the shadowy figure moved with incredible speed, like a ghost.

In an instant, the longsword was inches away from Li Anlan, and she had no time to dodge.

Just when Li Anlan thought she was doomed, the afterimage shielded her behind her, and Chu Sheng caught the shadow's longsword between two fingers, and a crisp snapping sound rang out.

The longsword, thrusting from the shadowy figure, split in two. Chu Sheng caught the tip between his fingers, instantly transforming it into a hidden weapon that flew out with a whoosh and struck the shadowy figure squarely in the neck.

Catching a blade bare-handed?

He kills enemies with a broken sword as easily as taking something out of a bag; he's incredibly strong.

Li Anlan looked at Chu Sheng in surprise. The latter turned his head, a smile on his face, "Your Highness, I saved you, but you don't need to thank me."

"Goodbye!"

Without the slightest hesitation, Chu Sheng strode away, silently counting as he went, "One, two, three, call me..."

"Young Master Chu, wait!" Li Anlan's voice came from behind. "We would like to invite Young Master Chu to join the escort team. The price is negotiable."

Chu Sheng turned around and said, "Escorting the Princess back to the capital is not impossible, but... it will cost extra."

Li Anlan frowned. "Didn't Young Master Chu just say that your price was lower than theirs?"

Chu Sheng said, "Times have changed. Just now I lowered myself, but Your Highness rejected me?"

"Now that I've saved His Highness's life, the price is different."

"Besides, I'm better than all of them, so a slightly higher price is reasonable, right?"

"Reasonable!" Li Anlan didn't refuse. "Young Master Chu, name your price!"

"Five hundred taels of gold!" Chu Sheng said without hesitation. The fact that the assassins had chased them all the way into Qingyang City meant that the journey to escort the princess back to the capital was not peaceful. Five hundred taels of gold was a fair price, no cheating the young or old.

"It's a bit expensive, isn't it?" Li Anlan hesitated.

"This is the price our Zhenyuan Escort Agency charges for escorting goods. Your Highness can rest assured that as long as the money is in place, we will definitely arrive on time." Chu Sheng knew that his brief demonstration earlier had already proven his abilities.

Li Anlan had no reason to refuse.

"Xiao Lan, here's the money!" Li Anlan took the money bag from the maid beside her and tossed it to Chu Sheng. "This is fifty taels of gold, a deposit. The balance will be paid in full once we arrive in the capital."

"Deal!" Chu Sheng tucked the money pouch into his pocket and looked towards the assassins in the courtyard. "I'll deal with your immediate troubles first!"

A figure flashed into the courtyard, drew a large sword from his back, and attacked the assassin. The sword moved with great force, the sound of the blade ringing out. With each strike, an assassin was decapitated.

This moment.

The martial artists in the arena stared at Chu Sheng in utter bewilderment. This was too amazing! He had actually mastered the fourth form of Chu Wu's Chaotic Heaven Blade Technique. This young man was quite something.

Is he the Chu Saint we know?

The assassins fled in all directions under Chu Sheng's attacks, because no one was his match; to be precise, no one could withstand a single blow from Chu Sheng.

Seeing the assassin flee, Chu Sheng did not give chase, but turned and walked towards Li Anlan.

"Ding! Congratulations, host, you have successfully accepted the mission and escorted the princess back to the capital. You have completed the mission and received a max-level martial arts skill as a system reward."

"Another max-level martial art?" Chu Sheng was very excited. What kind of martial art would it be this time?
