§§§Chapter 62 Being Straightforward
Dinghai Sect's "Clown," Gu Jianxi, was someone with a colorful history. His parents died when he was very young. Then, he was kidnapped and sold to the war-stricken Southern region. He never went through orthodox or formal martial arts training. He merely relied on a few tattered and torn books on the street, talent, passion, concentration, and rigorous training to develop a set of skills unique to him. He also developed his rebellious and strong but chilling character.
People like him would usually die in some brash battle before they came of age. However, luck was on his side. An Elder from the Dinghai Sect was out on some official business when he passed by Gu Jianxi and noticed him. The Elder appreciated his talent and his abilities. So the Elder used his connections to bring him back to the country. At that time, he was just a little past 17, with abilities well above Professional Ninth Pin.
