I forged the supreme martial saint through health cultivation techniques.

Chapter 31 Farewell

The progress bar is gone?!

Li Yuan stared at the panel, thinking he was seeing things!

"Could it be that the limit of this health-preserving exercise is only the seventh rank?"

That's all!

"To advance further, one must acquire more advanced techniques, or explore paths beyond traditional health-preserving exercises?"

"call--"

Li Yuan let out a long breath and his gaze fell upon the four large characters "Heaven rewards diligence".

Does hard work always pay off?

Will I be able to get through the rest of the journey by relying on it?

"Headache!"

The joy of breaking through the barrier instantly diminished by half.

.....

early morning.

A horse-drawn carriage stopped in front of He Qiu's house.

This immediately became a topic of conversation in Liushufang.

"Is Madam He Qiu leaving?"

Aunt Chen looked out the window and said, "Husband, look how big that carriage is! It must be expensive."

"Just mind your own business."

Uncle Chen said in a deep voice.

"I'm just taking a look."

"Look, isn't that constable her...?"

"Don't talk nonsense!"

Uncle Chen raised his voice, "Go cook!"

"Okay, okay."

Seeing that her husband was about to get angry, Aunt Chen didn't dare to say anything more, but as she walked towards the kitchen, her eyes were still fixed on the outside.

.....

"You slut, all you do is seduce people."

Aunt Liu stared at the carriage with resentment. Ever since Uncle Liu was captured and sent to the battlefield, she had changed completely. She was always cursing He Qiu Shi or making sarcastic remarks about Li Yuan Jia.

They even pierce voodoo dolls every night.

In short, all she feels now is resentment.

But that's all there is to it.

"Mom, I'm hungry!" Little Liu, who was so hungry that she was skin and bones, looked at her timidly.

"What are you hungry for? All you do is eat, you good-for-nothing!"

Aunt Liu, whose personality had drastically changed, started cursing as soon as she opened her mouth, scaring Xiao Liu so much that she huddled in a corner, trembling with fear in her eyes.

.....

"Is everything moved out?"

"Brother, it's gone."

He Qiu nodded.

Then Wang Xiulan took her hand and led her aside, giving her some instructions.

"Thank you for taking care of me all these years."

"My sister is just too stubborn. I've told her to move to the inner city a long time ago, but she just won't go. This He family... sigh!"

Qiu, the head constable, shook his head and sighed.

He didn't have a good impression of the Ho family, believing they were a burden to his younger sister.

"Of course, Sister Qiu is a very kind person."

Li Yuan cupped his hands in greeting.

"Alright, then I won't say anything more. If you want to go to the inner city, just come find me at Xiao Mo Fang."

Then he lowered his voice, "But we need to be quick, we can't hold on much longer."

Thank you!

Li Yuan nodded slightly.

At this moment, He Qiu Shi also boarded the carriage.

"Let's go!"

Qiu, the head constable, boarded the carriage, and as the wheels rolled, the carriage slowly drove away from Willow Lane.

Wang Xiulan's eyes welled up with tears.

"Let's go back, Mother!"

"Um!"

.....

When He Qiu left Liushufang, it was like a pebble thrown into a lake, creating ripples that quickly disappeared.

After all, they were struggling to make ends meet, so they didn't have the time or inclination to worry about this.

Li Yuan, familiar with his own strength, waited patiently for nightfall.

However, in the afternoon, another family came to their house to borrow grain, even bringing children in an attempt to gain their sympathy, but Wang Xiulan still refused.

Li Yuan, who was inside the room, also gave a cold laugh.

Moral kidnapping?

It's a pity, he had already told Wang Xiulan this.

During dinner that evening, Wang Xiulan sighed, "You just can't understand people!"

When borrowing grain, she would smile obsequiously, practically begging to kneel before you, but as soon as she heard you wouldn't lend it, her face would immediately fall, as if you owed her something.

"Mother, isn't that just human nature?"

Li Yuankuan comforted him, saying, "Troublemakers often come from remote and impoverished areas!"

"This is what Willow Lane is like now."

It may sound harsh, but it's absolutely true.

"Why!"

Wang Xiulan sighed, "It's my fault, Mother. I was too soft-hearted back then and lent the money to the Chen family. Otherwise, none of this would have happened."

She's starting to regret it.

"It's alright, Uncle Chen is the only conscious person in Willow Tree Lane."

"Just don't lend it anymore."

"Hmm! No, I won't lend it to anyone else!" Wang Xiulan was very decisive this time.

...

night!

After confirming that Wang Xiulan was asleep, Li Yuan quietly left home, first going to the place where he hid the knife, and then heading straight for Baiyunfang.

...

"Boss, shall we go tomorrow?"

At the Wild Wolf Gang's headquarters, Hai Fu sat at the top, looking at the invitation in his hand. Below him stood an old man in black. Although he was not a martial artist, he held a high position in the Wild Wolf Gang because he had been with Hai Fu the longest and was the gang's strategist. He was in charge of handling all the gang's daily affairs.

"go!"

Haifu spoke in a deep voice.

During this period, he went completely on a killing spree, killing more than a dozen ninth-rank masters from several major gangs.

Therefore, all the ninth-rank martial artists of these gangs gathered at the main camp.

Haifu had no choice but to give up.

But unexpectedly, they joined forces to invite that seventh-rank expert from Xiaolingfang to mediate.

So he had to go; he couldn't refuse this person's request.

"Old Qu, do you think it's possible that they really didn't do it?"

Hai Fu asked.

But then I thought, who else but them could kill so many ninth-rank masters in one night?

No one in the outer city has that kind of strength.

"Possibly!"

Old Qu spoke slowly. He had previously advised Hai Fu to investigate thoroughly before taking action, but Hai Fu wouldn't listen at all.

"Never mind all that."

Haifu tossed the invitation aside. "Kill them if you want. This will weaken their strength."

He's not stupid.

The Wild Wolf Gang suffered a heavy blow, and regardless of whether it was true or not, he had to take action, otherwise what would the people in the Wild Wolf Gang think of him?

"Old Qu, while there's still time, let your men go all out; if they can't handle it, they should just steal it."

"The county soldiers can't hold out for much longer."

"We need to consider our options."

Old Qu smiled and nodded, "Don't worry, Chief. These young lads in the gang may not be good at much else, but they're certainly good at robbing. They've had quite a haul these past few days."

This is one of the reasons why Haifu and several other gangs went to war.

Moreover, they specifically target their territory to rob money.

"By the way, is the guild leader going to the inner city or...?"

"I haven't decided yet."

Hai Fu was also somewhat conflicted about this. The rebels were coming in with great force, and the inner city might not be safe. However, the inner city had what he needed. He was only one step away from the seventh rank, and he was one of the top three ruthless people in the outer city. This was his greatest advantage in not being afraid to do anything.

"You can go down now. I need to be alone for a while."

"yes!"

Old Master Qu nodded slightly, then walked outside.

But suddenly!

He stopped!

"Um?"

Hai Fu frowned slightly. "Mr. Qu, is there anything else?"

But Old Master Qu did not respond. The next moment, his body slowly collapsed, and a dark shadow slowly appeared in his sight.

Hai Fu suddenly stood up, his pupils contracted sharply, and his whole body seemed to bristle. He killed Old Qu silently without him even noticing.

"who!!!?"
