The Jianghu Guide Is the Greatest Under Heaven

[Main story complete. Epilogue updates will be irregular.]

[Although this is a sequel, the style seems a little different from the previous work. I'll try to keep the epilogues in the previous style. If you came here because of the previous work, you can just read the epilogues.]

[The epilogues will probably be long and slow-paced, with a jumping timeline. There should be lots of banter, mixed with a little plot.

The later epilogues should be a true Jianghu travel group.

Besides the main cast's daily life, I'll also write some plots I like. Since I probably won't write wuxia again, check the table of contents before buying the epilogues. Epilogues without the main cast will be marked in the table of contents.]

[Thank you to everyone who clicked into this story.]

[Slowly revising the story, mostly correcting typos and adjusting some wording.]

My name is Bai Yu. I'm a transmigrator. After twenty years of sword training, I became the greatest in the world, got bored, and faked my death to retire.

After retiring, I found a job as a waiter at an inn.

The pay is good, the work is easy, and the boss is easy to fool. I really wish I could do this for the rest of my life.

Unfortunately, as expected, the unexpected happened.

I lost my job.

The Martial Arts Tournament is about to begin, and my boss decides to close the inn and head there. That means I've lost the job of my dreams.

Luckily, there's still one piece of good news. Since I had built myself up as a Jianghu drifter who had traveled far and wide, the boss hires me as their guide on their travels through the Jianghu.

I look over the group:

A pampered, simple-minded shopkeeper who believes everything.

A down-on-his-luck clan accountant who's sly, stingy, and sharp-tongued.

A straightforward, honest bodyguard who used to be a covert guard and knows nothing about the world.

An innocent, helpful handyman from a prestigious sect.

Wow!

I can already see my future going black!

Although I'm clever, quick-witted, charming, open-minded, kind, generous, and a master of martial arts, I'm not going to agree.

But the money he's offering is too good. For the sake of the money, no, our friendship, I'll work as a guide this once.

To make my own life easier, I'll bring along my apprentice, who's just as capable in the kitchen as in the parlor.

You can do it, Guide Bai!

Reader's Guide:

1. The main story is told in third person.

2. An alternate-universe wuxia world.

3. The female lead is the strongest fighter in the story.

4. Ensemble cast, light wuxia road-trip story.

5. My own take on wuxia. All worldbuilding follows the text.

6. Part of a series, in the same series as "The World's Greatest Returns to Work." The blurb and first chapter recap the previous story, so you can read this one without having read it. The previous story is about daily life at an inn.

Here's another work from my collection: "Clan Head Simulator"

Blurb:

Clan Head Simulator is the newest game on the market.

It combines cutting-edge full-dive technology with high freedom, multiple paths of development, and numerous romanceable characters. It's been a huge hit since its release.

As a seasoned gamer, you buy the beta version right away.
