21: Chapter 21 Weapon Sharpness +1! The Threat from the Headmaster of Baiyun Martial Arts School!

In front of the Baiyun Martial Arts Hall.

Under the gazes of the commoners, Qin Muyuan performed the Wind-Treading Step, bypassed the crowd, stepped onto the roof, and left in a hurry.

Only then did he suddenly remember that he was playing an open-world game, and he possessed martial arts.

Why did he need to walk through streets and alleys?

He could just step onto the roof, use the Wind-Treading Step, and he would find his target in no time!

Guided by the arrow in his field of vision, Qin Muyuan moved like a flash, agile as a rabbit and swift as a falcon, quickly arriving in front of the little girl Shi Yan's house.

Behind him, the wolf demon, sniffing his scent, followed closely.

It wasn't that it had become loyal to Qin Muyuan in such a short time.

It was because the wolf demon discovered that the speed at which Qin Muyuan performed the Wind-Treading Step was faster than its own escape speed.

If it tried to run and was caught by Qin Muyuan—it would die!

Arriving in front of Shi Yan's house, he knocked on the door, and Shi Yan walked out from the courtyard with her father, Shi Gandang.

Seeing it was Qin Muyuan, their faces were filled with joy.

"Benefactor, please accept a bow from Shi Yan!"

"Hero Qin, thank you for saving our lives!"

Both of them looked sincere, bowed heavily to Qin Muyuan, and their tones were filled with gratitude.

Shi Yan's eyes still shimmered with tears. She never expected that the young man who had killed people in the street and looked so full of Evil Qi would actually accept her commission.

Even more unexpected was that she was neither a friend nor relative of Qin Muyuan, nor had she paid him to hire him, yet Qin Muyuan was willing to attack the Baiyun Martial Arts Hall for her and rescue her father.

Such kindness... Shi Yan secretly looked up at Qin Muyuan.

Although he was covered in blood and surrounded by a bloody Qi, his handsome face and sharp temperament deeply touched Shi Yan's heart.

"The books say... a life-saving grace should be repaid by offering oneself..."

Shi Yan pursed her lips, a blush appearing on her face.

However, Qin Muyuan didn't notice this; he simply said:

"Shi Yan, I have completed your commission."

"Do you have any reward to give me?"

There was still a reward on the task bar called [Little Girl Shi Yan's Gratitude * 1].

What exactly was this gratitude? It even required him to go and get it; it wasn't smart enough at all!

Upon hearing Qin Muyuan's words, Shi Yan blushed again. She whispered, "Brother... Brother Qin, you... you crouch down..."

Shi Yan's voice was very soft, but fortunately, Qin Muyuan's Rank had increased, and his Physical Body attributes had improved, so he could still hear it clearly.

So, he bent down and crouched in front of Shi Yan.

There was only half a foot between the two.

Shi Yan bit her lip, finally made up her mind, and leaned in toward Qin Muyuan's face.

Smack~

Feeling the sensation on his face and the saliva mark, Qin Muyuan was slightly stunned.

He glanced at Shi Yan, who was hiding behind Shi Gandang, suddenly shy and blushing furiously after pecking him on the cheek.

His face immediately showed confusion.

"So, the task reward is a kiss from a little brat?"

Qin Muyuan opened his panel, somewhat puzzled, and only then did he discover a buff had appeared next to his character panel:

[Little Girl Shi Yan's Gratitude: All Weapon Sharpness + 1]

[Duration: 1 month, 13 days, 17 hours, 54 minutes]

"Weapon Sharpness + 1... the buff effect is decent."

Qin Muyuan nodded with satisfaction.

And the duration was quite long, lasting a full month and thirteen days.

"Not bad, I am very satisfied with your gratitude!"

Qin Muyuan reached out with his cold iron hand, rubbed the little girl's head, and said.

Hearing this, Shi Yan's originally rosy cheeks became even redder, and even the tips of her ears looked like they were on fire.

"Who, who would... do it like this..." Shi Yan pinched her clothes with both hands and said with her head lowered.

After collecting the task reward, Qin Muyuan did not accept Shi Gandang's request to stay for a meal.

After all, he, Qin Muyuan, still had some social awareness.

Although the people in front of him were NPCs, Shi Yan and her father had finally reunited, so he certainly couldn't stay and disturb them.

Besides, they still needed to be busy for a while with the burial of Shi Yan's mother.

Qin Muyuan left the remaining copper coins, which he had used as bullets for the Railgun but hadn't finished spending, with Shi Gandang and his daughter.

Immediately, he left with Wangcai and returned to the Xiao Mansion.

...

"Brother Qin, what is this..."

Inside the Xiao Mansion, Xiao Feng looked at the bloodstains on Qin Muyuan, which seemed to have congealed into a layer of blood scabs, and asked in shock.

Hadn't this Brother Qin just finished bathing and changing clothes not long ago?

Why... were his clothes stained with blood again?

And, didn't Xiao Chang take the guards to go out with Qin Muyuan?

Why was only Qin Muyuan back right now?

"Small matter, went to kill a few people." Qin Muyuan said in the tone of someone discussing what to eat for dinner.

After speaking, he asked again: "By the way, is the previous bathwater still hot?"

"It has cooled down, but I will get someone to boil water immediately so Brother Qin can wash off the bloodstains."

Xiao Feng said hurriedly, calling for servants to go and reheat the water.

He looked at Qin Muyuan's departing back, as well as the wolf demon that was taller than a person, and was completely bewildered.

It had been less than half a day, how did it feel like this Brother Qin had done so many things?

Where did the blood on his body come from? Where did the huge wolf demon next to him come from?

Xiao Feng expressed that he did not understand, he did not understand at all!

It wasn't until Xiao Chang returned with the guards and explained the cause and effect to Xiao Feng.

Xiao Feng then understood with a sinking heart:

It's over!

"You mean, Brother Qin killed his way through the Baiyun Martial Arts Hall and also killed the spectators who went to the underground arena of the Baiyun Martial Arts Hall looking for excitement?"

Xiao Chang nodded, a look of pride on his face: "That's right! Brother Qin wielded his sword for justice and returned our Qinghua County to a clear and bright sky!"

"Clear and bright sky, my foot!"

Upon hearing this, Xiao Feng's vision went dark again, and he pressed his philtrum for a long time before he could recover.

"Do you know who opened that Baiyun Martial Arts Hall?" Xiao Feng looked at the secretly proud Xiao Chang, his Qi could not be contained:

"It is Grand Master Lin Jiuye, who is famous throughout the Huoyun Country!"

"Grand Master Lin Jiuye is already a top expert who has transcended the Realm of first-class Martial Artists and reached the Martial Master Realm!"

"This person has heaven-reaching strength, has connections with countless forces in the imperial court, and is extremely vindictive. Since Brother Qin killed the people of his Baiyun Martial Arts Hall, he will definitely be targeted by Grand Master Lin Jiuye!"

Although Grand Master Lin Jiuye had reached the Martial Master Realm, he was narrow-minded and extremely protective of his own.

Brother Qin killed his subordinates, so Grand Master Lin Jiuye would definitely not let it go.

Maybe, when he hears the news, Grand Master Lin Jiuye will immediately bring a few first-class Martial Artists to Qinghua County to find Brother Qin and make Brother Qin pay with his life for the Disciples of the Baiyun Martial Arts Hall!

Although he understood that Brother Qin was acting for heaven, and the Baiyun Martial Arts Hall was evil first.

But this Grand Master Lin Jiuye, who could sneak into other martial arts halls back then to steal martial arts and then falsely accuse the other party of stealing techniques, showed his treacherous Heart-Nature and his ability to invert black and white.

Such a person, how could he care about right or wrong, or bullying the weak?

He acts entirely based on his own whims and has no reason to be reasoned with!
