17: Moved into the new house, watched the thunder roar
“It’s done?!”
Jiang Yi was only stunned for a moment before he calmed down.
It was somewhat expected, yet beyond reason!
Just like before!
He had forcefully ascended to the first minor realm of Martial Dao, entering the ranks of a Martial Artist, with a Perfection-level Martial Art that was unranked.
At dusk!
Jiang Dafeng came to find him, saying he had already found a place to live.
“Shopkeeper Yi…”
“Da Feng Ge, you’re being too formal!”
Jiang Yi smiled slightly.
Seeing Jiang Dafeng’s somewhat timid appearance, he interrupted him directly, saying,
“You can just call me Xiao Yi, like before!”
“Ah, good, good…”
“Da Feng Ge, how do you feel today? Are you adapting well to Yu Hang?”
“It’s quite good!”
Jiang Dafeng nodded, as if he had thought of something, and a hint of excitement appeared on his face.
“That steward said that as long as we finish our work, we can Cultivate Martial Art with the Disciples of Yu Hang.”
“Oh, right!
He also had an instructor come to test our Aptitude.
He said that Jiang Sanxi and Jiang Fu’s Aptitudes are quite good, and they have the potential to become Martial Artists!”
“By then!
Our Jiang Family Village will have three true Martial Artists!
In the past, how could a small village like ours ever hope for such a thing!”
Jiang Dafeng couldn’t help but exclaim.
“If it weren’t for you, Xiao Yi!
Perhaps the three of us would still be Mine Slaves on that mine, desperately digging for ore…”
“Everything will get better!”
Jiang Yi was silent for a moment, then patted Jiang Dafeng’s shoulder and comforted him.
“Mm, everything will get better!”
Jiang Dafeng smiled, his heart filled with anticipation.
“We’re here, we’re here, it’s this place!”
Soon!
Jiang Yi followed Jiang Dafeng to a dilapidated tiled house with a small courtyard.
After pushing open the door and walking in!
The interior had clearly been tidied up, looking much cleaner and neater.
“Yi Ge!”
“Yi Ge, Da Feng Ge, you’re back!”
Jiang Sanxi and Jiang Fu saw the two of them and happily gathered around.
Jiang Dafeng explained,
“Although this house is a bit simple, it’s spacious enough, with three floors and four rooms.
Later, we can just find a carpenter to renovate it.
Moreover, it’s not far from Yu Hang Compound, which is convenient for us to walk there.”
Of course, there was one most important sentence Jiang Dafeng didn’t say!
That was—it’s cheap enough!
“Xiao Yi, there’s still some silver left here, I’ll give it to you.”
As he spoke, Jiang Dafeng reached into his embrace, took out a money bag, and handed it over!
“No need, Da Feng Ge, you keep it.”
Jiang Yi smiled and waved his hand in refusal,
“I am now a Shopkeeper of Yu Hang. If I want something, I just need to ask, and someone will naturally deliver it.
This thing is dispensable to me!”
Immediately, he took out the small ceramic bottle containing Body Tempering Pills from his sleeve.
He placed it in Jiang Dafeng’s hand!
“This is…”
“It says Body Tempering Pill on it!
It’s said to be a medicine used by Martial Artists for Cultivation, which can greatly increase the speed of Cultivation.
You are not Martial Artists yet, so if you want to use it, just break off a small piece and take it with warm water.”
“No, this won’t do! Xiao Yi, you need it more…”
Jiang Dafeng shook his head like a rattle-drum, immediately trying to hand the ceramic bottle back to Jiang Yi.
Jiang Yi held his hand down!
“Da Feng Ge, I’ve tried this medicine, and it’s no longer useful to me.”
“How could it be useless? This…”
“Don’t talk about this, just listen to me!”
Jiang Yi turned his head to look at the meal laid out on the table.
There was meat, vegetables, and wine!
It seemed to have been prepared in advance!
Presumably, it was brought back from a restaurant, still warm, with wisps of steam rising.
An enticing aroma wafted over.
Then he glanced at Jiang Sanxi and Jiang Fu next to him, who were secretly swallowing saliva and rubbing their bellies.
A faint warm current surged from his heart!
Jiang Yi couldn’t help but smile,
“I’m hungry, Da Feng Ge, let’s eat quickly.”
“Yes, yes, let’s eat first, let’s eat first!”
...Night!
Outside the tiled house courtyard!
At some point, a short figure appeared.
He squatted in a corner of the wall outside the courtyard!
He was acting furtively!
After glancing around.
He pushed off with his feet, easily leaped onto the top of the wall, stretched his neck, and peered into the courtyard.
When he saw the dim yellow light inside, he leaped down and quickly fled the spot.
Inside the courtyard, Jiang Yi seemed to have sensed something and looked up in a certain direction!
A cold gleam flashed in his eyes!
“Da Feng Ge, Jiang Sanxi, Jiang Fu, there’s still something at the shop, so I’ll be leaving first.”
“But it’s so late…”
“It’s fine!”
“…Alright then, be careful!”
“Mm, no need to see me off, you all should go back and rest quickly!”
Jiang Yi nodded to Jiang Dafeng and the other two, then quickly left the courtyard.
He narrowed his eyes slightly!
Vaguely, he saw a figure rapidly disappearing around a street corner.
Jiang Yi didn’t hesitate at all!
His figure leaped up, as if weightless, directly onto the rooftop.
He crouched slightly, and following the direction the person had left, he stepped on the tiles and darted out!
He was as light as a swallow, his feet seemingly treading on clouds!
He moved through the air, covering two or three zhang, and when he landed, it was utterly silent.
Jiang Yi followed the short figure!
Finally, he quietly watched him turn into a dilapidated, abandoned house.
“It’s not the Evil Wolf Gang?”
“Then… who could it be?”
Jiang Yi pondered for a moment, then approached the house.
Whether it was or not!
If there was even the slightest threat to him, he wouldn’t mind nipping it in the bud.
“Second Chieftain, we found those people!”
Inside the house!
A small bonfire was burning, and three figures were sitting around it.
The flickering red firelight fell on each person, illuminating a series of rather fierce faces.
One of the burly men, hearing the sound, suddenly turned his head.
In the dim light!
His large, bell-like eyes were like those of a Vicious Beast, filled with surging Evil Qi, and a crimson blood-red light burst forth.
“Where are they?”
“They’re in a dilapidated house not far from here. It seems they bought that courtyard.
They’re living there now!
If we hurry, we can get there in half a quarter of an hour.”
“These Mine Slaves who ran away sure know how to enjoy themselves!
Hmph, later!
We’ll let them taste what it’s like to wish they were dead.”
Someone chimed in, baring his teeth with a sinister smile!
“These Mine Slaves are really rebelling against the heavens, daring to kill our brothers!
Once caught!
They should be sliced into a thousand pieces first, then have their heads twisted off, hehe!”
“One Mine Slave said that among these people, there’s a formidable one, and he’s the one who killed our brother.”
“What are you afraid of?”
“No matter how formidable, can he be more powerful than our Second Chieftain!
Second Chieftain is a Flesh Refining Realm Martial Artist, he can crush him with one finger!”
“That’s right, that’s right!”
As they spoke, all three looked at the burly man!
“Let’s go, lead the way!”
“Daring to kill my brother, this Chieftain will make you all accompany him in death.”
The four of them stood up together, preparing to leave when!
A tall, agile figure descended from above the main gate of the house.
“No need to go!”
“I am right here!”
As soon as his voice fell, a thunderclap exploded in the sky!
“Boom!!!”
