I’m Still Practicing Martial Arts, But How Did My Daughter Become an Immortal? – Chapter 8

Ch 8: The Matter Concluded

Seeing this scene, Leopard Two’s expression turned terrified, his face drastically changed. The situation was now irreversible; they should have retreated earlier. It was all the fault of those two guys being too arrogant, unable to distinguish who held the greater authority.

He shouted, “Run!” Then, like a cheetah, he instantly dashed out. In a few leaps, he disappeared without a trace, his Qinggong was extremely impressive.

Lin Tian didn’t chase after seeing this scene, mainly because he didn’t know Qinggong, and also because the distance was a bit far. If they were close, it would be easy to handle.

In a few breaths, Leopard Two was already dozens of meters away.

All that remained was a Third Rank bandit, who was being suppressed and beaten by a woman.

The clothes on his body were about to be cut into rags, and faintly visible were streaks of blood-red wounds, some with the flesh already turned outwards.

D*mn it, they all ran away, how am I supposed to run?

He was entangled by the black-clad woman, unable to escape. The black-clad man who was with the woman also rushed over to help, wanting to take him down quickly to avoid any unforeseen events.

Lin Tian, seeing this situation, also sprinted over. This was his kill, no one could steal it.

Li Wei, knowing that he couldn’t escape, wanted to negotiate a deal with the other side.

Before he could even speak, Lin Tian gave him a Charging Bull Collision, sending him flying out. The black-clad man, seeing this, waved his hand and shouted.

“Brother, spare his life.”

There was no way Lin Tian would listen to him. The bandit, from this collision, had all his internal organs shaken, heavily crashing to the ground. Lin Tian raised his leg high and fiercely stomped on the bandit’s chest.

Crack!

The bandit’s eyes widened, blood gushing from his mouth, staring fixedly at Lin Tian. His ribs had pierced his heart, and then he died.

Lin Tian retracted his foot, then turned his head to look at the black-clad man: “What did you just say? Say it again.”

The black-clad man’s lips twitched, his heart filled with speechlessness. The person was already dead, what was there to say? Would saying it bring him back to life? It was a pity, he still wanted to ask something, but now it was all gone.

The black-clad man and woman exchanged a glance. With a single step, they disappeared in a few leaps.

Lin Tian curled his lip. Having Qinggong was truly remarkable, they could leave whenever they wanted. And they didn’t walk the proper road, they just liked jumping over houses for no reason, it was really strange.

The county government’s government soldiers arrived late. Everyone had already run away, and they came now, to collect the kills.

Zhang Erhe, who had been hiding to the side, seeing that the dust had settled, mustered his courage and walked towards Lin Tian.

The constables at the street corner also came out one after another, looking at Lin Tian timidly.

This was a killing god, who would dare to rush over unless they didn’t want their lives.

With the dust settled, the crowd began to emerge. At the roadside, a little beggar was squatting next to an old beggar, crying.

The old beggar was covered in blood. What a bunch of beasts, not even letting beggars off.

Lin Tian only glanced at him. Wasn’t this little beggar the one he had helped that day?

This place wasn’t suitable for a long stay. Lin Tian disappeared in a few flashes.

“Hey, hey, hey, Brother!” Zhang Erhe waved his hand, but Lin Tian had already gone far.

He didn’t dare delay and hurried to the grain shop. Seeing that there were still surviving servants, he arranged matters and hurried back home.

…………………

Two black-clad individuals returned to an inn. Fang Jingshan placed his curved saber on the table, panting heavily. The clothes on his body were already soaked with sweat. It could be seen that the battle just now had left him very tired.

He turned his head to look at Fang Qingxue, his eyes filled with some worry. We shouldn’t have acted rashly, I’m afraid we’ve already stirred up a hornet’s nest.

Fang Qingxue was also somewhat dazed. They had come to Qingshui County to investigate a case.

That damned Blood Demon Pavilion, they actually dared to assassinate the Imperial Chancellor, and they succeeded.

This matter had to start with the Great Liang Emperor marrying a consort.

Xiao Meiyue, the youngest daughter of the Xiao family, was born with a charming nature, captivating the emperor.

It was said that the emperor was already sixty years old this year, truly a pear blossom suppressing a Begonia. From then on, the emperor no longer attended the imperial court early in the morning.

He turned a deaf ear to matters of the imperial court, personally ordering the construction of a Heavenly Palace for the beauty.

Originally, this matter wouldn’t have alarmed the Emperor, but the Blood Demon Pavilion spoke wildly, saying that as long as the price was right, they could even kill the old emperor.

This completely enraged the Great Liang Emperor, who ordered the Dragon Guards to thoroughly investigate and encircle the Blood Demon Pavilion in all directions.

“You say, what charm does this Xiao Meiyue have that she can captivate the Emperor so much?”

“How would I know? But I did unintentionally hear the Chieftain say that this Xiao family might have some connection with the Southern Border forces.”

Fang Jingshan lazily sat on the chair: “This has nothing to do with us, but speaking of which, who is that reckless man? Should we investigate his background?”

Fang Qingxue frowned, her rosy cherry mouth opened: “Go to the county government!”

“Okay.”

The two agreed immediately, disregarding their physical fatigue, and set off to the county government to investigate Lin Tian’s background.

The Dragon Guards were directly under the jurisdiction of the Great Liang Emperor, investigating corrupt officials above and exploring sects and gangs below.

It was a department with extremely high power, and even had the right to execute first and report later.

The Dragon Guard selection was extremely strict, not allowing children of powerful families or members of sects and gangs to enter the Dragon Guard.

But now the imperial court situation was complicated, and the Great Liang Emperor was even in his twilight years, with forces from all sides ready to make a move. The Dragon Guard had long been infiltrated beyond repair.

Lin Tian hurried home. Nannan was home alone. He had been delayed outside for so long. Right! He seemed to have forgotten to buy sugar hawthorns for Nannan.

Lin Tian turned the corner and saw that his own gate was open. His expression tightened. Who opened the door? He rushed into the courtyard and saw Nannan alone, teasing a fish. Lin Tian breathed a sigh of relief at this scene.

“Nannan, what are you doing?”

Nannan, hearing the sound, looked back with a blank expression, then giggled: “Daddy!”

She trotted over, wanting a hug, but Lin Tian didn’t hug her. He was covered in blood.

“Daddy, look!” Nannan stretched out her hand, then grabbed a turtle in her hand. This turtle was only the size of her palm.

“Oh! Where did my Nannan get this little turtle? Let Daddy see.”

Lin Tian took it in his hand and looked at the little turtle. The little turtle shrank its limbs.

It should have run over during these past few days of rain. Lin Tian returned the little turtle to Nannan, and then the turtle stretched out its head in Nannan’s hand, looking around. It didn’t seem to be afraid of Nannan.

“It seems this turtle has a connection with you.”

This reminded Lin Tian of the turtles he raised in his previous life. Raising turtles was very particular. Turtles were descendants of the Black Tortoise, and raising turtles was mainly for accumulating blessings and storing luck.

But the difference was that they had to be raised into spirit turtles.

There were two ways to raise them: one was to choose a large turtle that was over a hundred years old. This kind of turtle was itself a spirit object with deep blessings and good fortune. Feeding it would borrow its spiritual energy to suppress the house and transport wealth, with great effect, but it couldn’t block disasters or break baleful auras.

The second was a small turtle that had just hatched. Choose one with affinity （hold it in your hand and stare at it intently. If it turns its head to look at you for a long time, without fear or alarm, and doesn’t crawl away in a hurry, then this turtle must have a very deep connection with you） and feed it carefully.

Hold its head in the morning and evening and breathe on it, talk to it （human qi is the most spiritual thing） to promote its intelligence. If this kind of small turtle is raised for more than two years, and if it can recognize people, follow people, and cling to people, then its spiritual intelligence will be greatly developed, and it will become a treasure in the house （if it doesn’t, let it go）.

Although its spiritual power is not as good as a hundred-year-old turtle in transporting wealth, it is extremely capable of suppressing the house and prospering the owner. With a spirit turtle in the room, the family will be safe and have many children and grandchildren!

Those whose family is uneasy, whose children and grandchildren are not prosperous, and who are uneasy when going in and out, can give it a try.

“Daddy, what about the sugar hawthorns you bought me?”

Lin Tian slapped his forehead: “Daddy just went to make money, I’ll take you out to buy them later.”

“Daddy’s lying.”
