All My Skills Are Picked Up

The governor pretended not to hear Lo Tian's praise. He waved his hand at Young Master Lin and said, "Lin Er, take my order and go to the dungeon. Let your Uncle Lei Jian out. Remember, I secretly let him go, not to mention my order. Tell him that this is the time of chaos in Hsu family. It's the best time for him to complete the mission. "    

    

Young Master Lin did not ask any more questions. He answered softly and left quickly.    

    

Lo Tian nodded with a smile on his face. This governor had helped Young Master Lin to gain a favorable impression of him. The person was captured by the governor. Even if he immediately went to apologize and release Lei Jian, it wouldn't be good for him.    

    

However, it would be completely different if Young Master Lin secretly let the person go. Perhaps, Lei Jian would shed tears of gratitude and remember a huge favor from Young Master Lin.    

    

With this favor, the governor wouldn't have to worry about what Lei Jian would do. Furthermore, the governor had already decided that after tonight, the Hsu family would no longer exist. The past, the Demonic Cultivator family and the like would all disappear.    

    

The state city once again regained its peace. Su, Bai, and Yang families also regained their former status. As for the governor Prefecture, it was still the highest order in the state city. The one in charge. Once the battle was over, the governor Prefecture would send people to clean up everything. Then, they would take all the credit.    

    

Apart from the Hsu family, everyone else would get what they wanted. This wasn't just a win-win situation.    

    

"Deacon Lo, are you interested in watching the night scene in the city?"    

    

Governor smiled and invited Lo Tian. Of course, Lo Tian smiled and said, "No problem. However, I can only watch now. I can't fight anymore."    

    

Governor said, "Just watch. The rest of the credit isn't yours to begin with."    

    

Lo Tian nodded his head in understanding.    

    

...    

    

At night, the moon and stars were scarce.    

    

Under the night sky, the sounds of fighting could be heard without end. On the streets and alleys, the sounds of soldiers exchanging hands could be heard without end. Every household had their doors and windows tightly shut. The citizens of the state city were clearly not used to this kind of situation.    

    

It had always been a brightly lit capital city. Tonight was probably the first curfew in decades. Furthermore, it was not the curfew announced by the governor Prefecture, but the martial artists of the few large families. They had all fought their way to the streets, causing all the civilians to hurriedly return home. At most, they would peek through the cracks of the door to avoid being affected.    

    

Boom! Boom! Boom!    

    

Continuous explosions sounded from all directions in the state city. The city guards who were supposed to take charge of the situation were also guarding the key areas of the streets. They did not rush forward. They also gave warnings to those martial artists who wanted to play tricks during the chaos.    

    

The warriors who were about to reach the city gate also saw the cannons on the city wall. It was obviously a very strict warning. If any family dared to make a scene too much, they would probably be flattened by the cannons.    

    

Under such circumstances, although the fight between the warriors was still going on, but there were not too many bleeding incidents. There were even martial artists who dared to have their battles affect the common people. There weren't many of them. Some of them were also suppressed by the experts of City Guards on the spot.    

    

Overall, the situation was under control!    

    

The Distant Watchtower, the tallest building in the city besides the Martial Tower.    

    

This was the general tower of the ancient city. As the city expanded, it became a famous scenic spot in the city.    

    

The building was nine stories high, and standing at the top, one could see the situation in the city. Even under the night sky, the view here was very good. At this time, a few people slowly walked over from the attic. They were the late governor and Lo Tian.    

    

The two of them sat down beside the tables and chairs that were arranged in the attic. The personal guards behind them carefully served tea and desserts.    

    

However, Lo Tian did not have the mood to drink tea now. Looking at the situation in the city from afar, with Lo Tian's gaze, the current state city was in a terrible state. There were sparks of fire everywhere, but the governor beside him was not in a hurry at all. Lo Tian did not dare to say anything else. The personal guards kept coming over to report the situation to the governor. Along the way, we've got a rough idea of what's going on in the state city. It could be said that the Hsu family had been forced to retreat one step at a time. They were already at the end of their rope.    

    

"Report, the third elder of the Hsu family has died in battle. He was killed by the roar of the Bai family's Old Hong."    

    

"Report! The warriors of the Hsu family have begun to retreat. The warriors of the Hsu family have joined forces and retreated into the inner area of the Hsu family. They activated the medicine and began transforming into fierce beasts."    

    

" Report! An elder of the Yang family has died in battle, and two guest elders of the Bai family have died. Su Hong of the Su family was severely injured by the sneak attack, but he was protected, so his life isn't in danger."    

    

" Report! Patriarch Hsu has gone missing. The master of Bai family, the master of Su family, and the master of Yang family have also disappeared."    

    

...    

    

Governor drank his tea calmly. When he heard the last report, he finally said," Order the City Guards to guard the outer perimeter of Hsu family strictly. Is there any news about Lei Jian?"    

    

"Report. Deacon Lei has also disappeared from the outside of the Hsu family. There is a possibility that more than seventy percent of the people who secretly entered the Hsu family have entered."    

    

Governor nodded and said with a smile, "It seems like it will be over soon. Call Lin Er over. Wait, we are going to meet someone for the last time. "    

    

The governor gently waved his hand as if everything was under control.    

    

After that, the governor asked Lo Tian, "Deacon Lo, are you still worried?"    

    

Lo Tian replied, "I'm still afraid that something might go wrong."    

    

The governor said, "It is only a small matter. Controlling the overall situation and having a plan in mind is the path of the strong. Regardless of whether it is business, entering the dynasty, cultivating, or studying. Deacon Lo, I see that you are so young. How is your reading? "    

    

Lo Tian was slightly stunned. This was the first time in all these years that someone had asked him how his reading was. In the current world, didn't the entire empire only care about cultivation? Reading and learning how to read, wouldn't it be fine if he just spoke? And knowing a few more classical stories, knowing some literary words, then you are a cultured person.    

    

"It's nothing. When I was young, my neighbor taught me. Later, I only studied in Martial Palace for a year."    

    

Governor frowned slightly. What the hell was a neighbor teaching?    

    

Slowly, the governor took out a crystal stone for Lo Tian and said, "Those who achieve great things can't not study. You don't have to learn from Lei Jian. You only know how to cultivate and don't know anything else. Young people still need to know more. I have a crystal of knowledge from the Empire, it contains the history of the Empire. The history of martial artists, the ability to read and write, counting, star maps, geography and the creation of artifacts, etc. Take it and learn properly. In the future, be it entering the dynasty or becoming a powerful martial artist, one must know the importance of learning. Don't give you an ancient cultivation method that is the strongest. How embarrassing it is for you to be unable to understand the words!"    

    

Lo Tian took the crystal and slowly put it away, saying, "Thank you for the governor's guidance."    

    

The governor smiled and said, "As long as you know how to thank me, it's fine. I still want to ask you again. Deacon Lo, are you interested in working in governor Prefecture? With your talent and ability, I'm sure that you will be able to make a meteoric rise in the future. I won't say anything more. I also have a niece, a heavenly beauty, why don't you... "    

    

Before he could finish his words, Lo Tian directly rejected," No, I'll just be a deacon. That's good! "
