I’m Still Practicing Martial Arts, But How Did My Daughter Become an Immortal? – Chapter 35

Ch 35: Third Child’s Stubbornness to Be a Hero.

Early August

The sky over Qingshui County was gloomy, with occasional flashes of light, foretelling an imminent autumn rain.

In the small courtyard, Qing Yi was teasing Nannan, who was running around the yard. Pang Tong and Zhang Dingding were practicing martial arts.

Lin Tian was sitting on a stone chair, playing chess with Old Ghost, both of them relaxed and at ease.

Lin Tian: “You really don’t plan to leave?”

Ghost Sword Sorrow: “Hmm~ This old man has no fixed abode. It’s all the same to me wherever I stay.”

Lin Tian: “In that case, I can be considered half your disciple. In turn, these little kids are your grand-disciples.”

“Teaching your grand-disciples shouldn’t be too much to ask.”

Ghost Sword Sorrow smiled: “You really know how to drive a bargain, but I accept it.”

Zhang Dingding and Pang Tong hid behind a tree. Zhang Dingding was very angry, clenching his fist and punching the tree trunk.

Leaves fluttered down, falling leisurely from the branches.

“Hmph, the Golden Dragon Gang is going too far. They actually want half the profits from the grain my family sells, calling it protection money.”

Pang Tong, absent-mindedly, glanced at Zhang Dingding: “Then why don’t you just chop them up?”

Lin Tian had transferred the Simple-Minded attribute to Pang Tong, and now Pang Tong’s temperament had undergone a great change.

He looked very simple and harmless on the outside, but he harbored murderous intent in his heart.

Zhang Dingding thought Pang Tong was mocking him and immediately retorted: “I’d like to, but killing people indiscriminately…”

“That’s not right… Sir taught us martial arts for this very reason, right? Giving them a beating shouldn’t be a problem.”

Pang Tong “Mm”ed: “That makes sense.”

“Hey! What are you talking about?” Qing Yi poked her head out from behind the tree.

Zhang Dingding saw Qing Yi and smiled innocently. Then, he told Qing Yi about his plan.

The three of them formed the Three Heroes under the old locust tree, just missing a cup of wine for a sworn brotherhood.

After a period of secret planning, Qing Yi took out the Ice Soul Sword from the kitchen water bucket and wiped it with a linen cloth.

The Ice Soul Sword had a special material. Cold air diffused from the inside out, making it a proper refrigeration artifact when placed in water.

In this sweltering summer, the Ice Soul Sword’s purpose was to make summer cold drinks for Lin Tian.

Before leaving, the three of them said to Lin Tian that they were going to punish evil and promote good.

Lin Tian didn’t bother with them. They were at an age where they loved to play, so let them play to their heart’s content.

Ghost Sword Sorrow looked at Lin Tian: “You’re really carefree. Aren’t you afraid they’ll stir up trouble?”

Lin Tian: “Afraid of what? If they kill someone, I, as their master, will bear the responsibility for them.”

Ghost Sword Sorrow was somewhat disdainful: “Don’t be so boastful that you’ll bite your tongue. When you can’t even protect yourself, don’t come begging me.”

Lin Tian expressed his fearlessness, giving Ghost Sword Sorrow a look to let him understand.

Ghost Sword Sorrow: “Where did the Ice Soul Sword come from?”

Lin Tian: “Someone gave it to me.”

Ghost Sword Sorrow could see less and less through Lin Tian now. Could two years really change someone so much?

Ghost Sword Sorrow: “That’s a troublesome thing. It’s best not to take it out.”

Lin Tian was somewhat puzzled: “Does this sword have some history? How much trouble is it?”

Ghost Sword Sorrow smiled: “You’ll know later.”

At this time, Nannan ran over from the side with a turtle, shouting “Grandpa Turtle.”

“Grandpa Old Bastard, why are you different from this turtle?”

Ghost Sword Sorrow looked at Nannan and immediately grinned. Hearing Old Bastard, his face instantly darkened again.

He glanced at Lin Tian and said unhappily: “Don’t learn everything from your daddy. Your daddy is the bastard.”

Then, he looked at Nannan again and burst out laughing: “Come, let Grandpa see why this turtle is different from Grandpa.”

Lin Tian Grandpa smiled awkwardly. He didn’t teach Nannan to say that. Lin Tian said it himself, and Nannan learned it.

“Grandpa Turtle, I’ll show you something. Don’t move, okay?”

“Okay, Grandpa won’t move.”

Swish!

The exquisite Jade Sword flew out from between Nannan’s eyebrows, turning into a streak of light and stabbing towards Ghost Sword Sorrow’s head.

“Ouch! What the f*ck.” Ghost Sword Sorrow was taken aback.

Because they were very close, Ghost Sword Sorrow frantically summoned True Qi to his palm, blocking it in front of his forehead.

Ding!

The flying sword stabbed once and flew back into Nannan’s body.

Ghost Sword Sorrow was still in shock. Could a three-year-old child use such methods?

Lin Tian was also startled and quickly hugged Nannan back: “Oh! My good daughter, did you want to send your Grandpa Turtle to the Western Paradise to see Buddha?”

Ghost Sword Sorrow stared intently at Lin Tian: “How did you raise your daughter? What did you feed her? Such methods… I’ve only seen them in books in all my life.”

Lin Tian hugged Nannan and replied “Uncivilized”: “What’s wrong with my Lin Tian’s daughter knowing a little Immortal magic?”

“Immortal magic… Immortal magic.”

Lin Tian just said it casually, but Ghost Sword Sorrow really took it seriously. It was nothing for True Qi to transform into a sword, but how could this entity parasitize in the human body?

Humans are flesh and blood. Swords pass through the body without hurting the skin. Such methods were unheard of.

Ghost Sword Sorrow turned his head and stared at Nannan: “No, I must personally teach this girl in the future. No one else can.”

Lin Tian curled his lips, thinking to himself, I don’t even need to teach, right? I can just transfer attributes. It’s much better than you.

Lin Tian was indignant in his heart, but he said “You teach, you teach” because your teaching saves me even more trouble. Why not use free labor for nothing?

Near noon

It drizzled in the sky, and it stopped before long.

A gentle breeze blew, and Lin Tian felt a slight chill. He raised his eyes to look at the sky and muttered, “It’s almost autumn.”

Creak!

The door was pushed open, and it was Tang Chun, Qing Yi’s second uncle.

He said only a few words that the Tang Sect had fallen apart. He didn’t want to say more, and Lin Tian didn’t want to ask more.

“Brother Lin!”

“Brother Lin!”

Tang Chun saw Lin Tian standing in the courtyard. He smiled, holding a piece of wild boar meat in his hand.

Lin Tian saw him in such a hurry and said, “What’s the matter that you’re in such a flurry?”

Tang Chun laughed “Haha”: “There was a strong man in the county who captured a wild boar. I bought it, so I quickly brought you two pieces.”

After speaking, Tang Chun looked around: “Where’s Qing Yi?”

Lin Tian replied: “She went out. How’s the restaurant business?”

Tang Chun was overjoyed: “It’s great. The restaurant is now known throughout the entire county.”

“I won’t talk to you anymore. There are many people at the restaurant, and I’m very busy! We’ll talk another day, another day.” After saying that, he hurriedly ran away again.

Lin Tian saw him like this and sighed at his dedication.

The restaurant was bought with Lin Tian’s money. Lin Tian had long wanted to do some business; otherwise, he couldn’t just sit around and do nothing.

The restaurant was close to the noodle shop, so Lin Tian pondered it over and discussed it with the boss lady and Tang Chun. They named it Laifu Restaurant.

The three of them invested in shares. Lin Tian provided the money, and they provided the labor. Lin Tian took 50%, and the other 50% was divided between the two of them.

To cater to Qingshui County, most of the dishes were inexpensive.

To make a name for themselves, cold drinks were the first shot for a good start.

The Ice Soul Sword was simply a natural ice storage. Since Qing Yi practiced the cultivation method given by Fang Qingxue, the Internal Energy in her body was extremely Yin and cold. When she infused the Ice Soul Sword, it instantly turned into ice.

Ghost Sword Sorrow said that Lin Tian had many clever ideas, half a catty to eight taels with that thing from the Li family, and was a natural businessman.

Most of the people in Qingshui County were commoners, and it was hot and unbearable to work outside.

So, ice water was free to drink, but only for half an hour at noon and half an hour after dusk. It was not supplied outside of those times.

Cold drinks were unlimited and had no time limit, but they were charged.

With this set of combination punches, Laifu Restaurant had queues every day and was overcrowded.

“These little bastards have been out for so long and still haven’t returned.”

Lin Tian was very angry now. It was already lunchtime, and they still hadn’t returned. They might as well not eat lunch and starve them.

Just then, someone shouted outside the door: “Brother Lin! Brother Lin, something bad has happened.”

Pang Shan hurried in, running into the small courtyard in a flurry. Seeing Lin Tian, he strode forward, not even having time to wipe the sweat from his face.
