I’m Still Practicing Martial Arts, But How Did My Daughter Become an Immortal? – Chapter 16

Ch 16: How should one face the injustice that fills this world?

Lin Tian returned home and placed Fang Qingxue in a side room.

He took a deep breath, calmed his mind, and slowly extended both hands.

With his palms facing Fang Qingxue’s chest, a gentle Internal Energy was slowly sent into her body.

Time passed by the minute, and Lin Tian was covered in sweat. The Internal Energy continuously nourished Fang Qingxue’s internal organs like a trickling stream.

Lin Tian stopped only after seeing her complexion gradually become rosy and her breathing begin to stabilize.

Lin Tian withdrew his Internal Energy, grabbed his clothes, and wiped the sweat from his face. He was also a little tired, but fortunately, Fang Qingxue’s life was saved.

“Your life is no longer in danger, but I can’t heal your disfigurement. I hope you have good fortune.”

After saying this, Lin Tian walked steadily and quietly closed the door.

The frogs in the small pit kept croaking, and swarms of flying insects and mosquitoes buzzed around.

Buzz~ Buzz!

The mosquitoes smelled the scent of humans and rushed towards Lin Tian, their sharp mouthparts stabbing at Lin Tian’s skin. The imagined scene of piercing the skin and sucking blood did not appear.

Its mouthparts were like stabbing into iron, *crack*! They folded in half, and the mosquito died.

Creak!

Lin Tian tiptoed and opened the door, feeling much more at ease seeing Nannan still fast asleep.

“This little girl has been sleeping for many days. I wonder when she will wake up.”

Midnight

Fang Qingxue had a nightmare. Her brows were furrowed, and she trembled uncontrollably, probably from the pain.

In her dream, she returned to her childhood. Her parents looked panicked and hid her under the bed. Her mother hid a book in her clothes, and she didn’t understand why.

“Xue’er, no matter what you see later, don’t make a sound, understand?” Her father’s eyes were full of anxiety.

Fang Qingxue responded, and her mother gently stroked her face. That gentle smile seemed especially warm.

“Search for me!” A loud shout came from outside the door.

“Not good! They’re here, let’s go.”

Fang Qingxue listened to the fighting outside. At this moment, she finally understood that her parents were not playing a game with her.

“Hand over the Heavenly Yin Sutra!”

Several individuals wearing ghost masks and jet-black robes stood in the field, the swords in their hands reflecting a cold light in the night.

Fang Qingxue’s father sneered and took out a secret book from his arms: “I can give you the secret book, but you have to let us live, otherwise I will destroy it.”

“Hahaha, sure, the integrity of our Ghost Face is beyond doubt.”

Finally, a man found her. When she saw her parents lying in a pool of blood, she cried. At that moment, her world had collapsed, leaving only darkness.

The man said to her with a kind face: “From now on, you will be my Adopted Daughter, named Fang Qingxue.”

Fang Qingxue suddenly woke up from the bed. Her current appearance was a little scary. Half of her face was covered with blisters, and her body was barely covered. The severe pain made her frown.

The next day, Listening Wind Pavilion.

“Speaking of which, that demon was a full three *zhang* tall, with two thick thighs as thick as hundred-year-old trees.”

“One of its little fingers was as big as a person’s arm, and there was a giant mouth on its chest, full of sharp fangs.”

“Its head was actually a bull’s head, one head as big as a water tank in the house.”

“No sooner said than done, that bull demon waved its palm, and suddenly a strong wind blew, mountains collapsed and the earth cracked, and that strong wind was like a steel knife scraping bones.”

“Someone was accidentally hit and scraped by the steel wind, and suddenly blood was dripping, and three layers of flesh were scraped off his body, which was terrible to see. In the end, he was tortured to death,”

“That bull demon waved its big hand, grabbed the b*oody corpse in its hand, and sent it into the big mouth between its chest…………”

Old Man Li was verbally criticizing on the stage, turning this incident into a battle between the Dragon Guards and the Bull Demon King.

Lin Tian felt helpless. If I hadn’t been there, I would have really believed it.

This Old Man Li’s skill of speaking off the cuff is really amazing. He can turn black into white.

According to his fabrication, the common people would rather believe that it was a demon who killed people than believe that it was done by humans.

Lin Tian got up and left Listening Wind Pavilion.

Not far north of Qingshui County is the Wu River, which runs from north to south through the entire Great Liang, which is a very important north-south hub.

It’s strange that Qingshui County, such a promising place, is so unremarkable.

I heard that Beiliang City is the largest city in the north, with all kinds of fun and delicious food, and it is extremely extravagant.

In the past two years of famine, Beiliang City has actually lived better and more extravagantly. This is indispensable to the support of the surrounding counties and the common people at the bottom.

The allocation of all resources has led to Beiliang City becoming a luxurious isolated island, and behind this is all human blood *mantou*.

Lin Tian sighed. Ninety-nine percent of the Great Liang people support that one percent of the powerful.

Those who put in the most effort become the lowest level, and in the end, they can’t even get enough to eat.

Thinking about it, it’s also true. I can let you have an occasional full meal, but I can’t let you live well. If you live well, then I won’t live well.

“Esteemed Guest, come and play! Our shop has just welcomed a few Beautiful Women, each of whom is a stunning beauty.”

Lin Tian was stunned. He was so focused on thinking about things that he didn’t notice where he had come.

Lin Tian looked back, with surprise between his brows!

A two-story building stood beside the crossroads, surrounded by shops like a cluster.

Above the small building’s lintel hung a plaque.

There were three big characters written on it ━ Sunset Quarter.

Several women at the door were either sitting or standing. Although their appearance was not very good-looking, it was not bad either.

Plump and thin, each had their own merits.

They waved at Lin Tian, and Lin Tian was a little stunned by their smiles. No wonder talented scholars like to linger in the brothels. Who wouldn’t be confused by this smile?

Just as Lin Tian was indulging in fantasies, a voice broke his reverie.

“Brother Lin! Want to go in and sit down?”

Lin Tian looked at the person coming. It was Pang Shan, wearing a constable outfit, with two perch hanging from a rope in his hand, looking at him with a wicked smile.

Lin Tian was a little speechless: “Not interested. On the other hand, Brother Pang, I think you are more interested than me.”

“Haha, the tiger at home is strict, I can’t make such jokes, I can’t make them.”

“It’s almost time, why don’t we have a drink?” Pang Shan was very familiar and didn’t look restrained.

Lin Tian didn’t think there was anything wrong with this. Although he hadn’t met him twice, this way of speaking always made people feel good.

Lin Tian declined: “There are people at home, so it’s inconvenient to be outside. Why don’t we go to my house for a drink!”

“Okay, then I will accept your kind invitation.”

Lin Tian twitched the corner of his mouth. I wanted to be polite, but it seems like I said the wrong thing, but~ it’s a good opportunity to ask Pang Shan about something.

The two walked side by side and chatted casually, and Lin Tian also learned some things.

The Imperial Court sent some more Dragon Guards to clean up the mess. It is said that there is a Centurion with Fifth Rank cultivation.

Fifth Rank and Sixth Rank are considered top-notch experts in the Martial World, and after that is Seventh Rank Acquired Realm.

Fang Jingshan is not dead, but according to Pang Shan, he is in a terrible state. His whole body is wrapped in bandages, and he can’t even open his mouth to speak.

All three Standard Bearers survived, the most serious being He Chuntang.

One arm was blown off, all his hair was gone, one eye was blown blind, and the hand holding the knife was broken. It will probably be difficult for him in the future.

Sure enough, once you enter the Martial World, you can’t help yourself. Underestimating your opponent will put you in a disaster.
