Jie teaches the Immortal Sweeping Heaven’s Cultivation of All Heavens

The young man was none other than Qin Shaoyan's cousin, Qin Shaoyu.

The two middle-aged people were Qin Shaoyu's parents.

Their injuries were more severe than Qin Shaoyu's. They were barely alive when they were rescued from the fire, and even Sister Liu's excellent medical skills couldn't save them.

Two people died.

Their funeral arrangements were handled by Qin Shaoyan's family. Qin Shaoyu was still recovering from his injuries and couldn't do anything.

But he still insisted on getting out of bed and kneeling in front of his parents' memorial tablets.

He didn't say a word, looking utterly hopeless.

Qin Shaoyan brought his son to his side, and only then did Qin Shaoyu begin to react.

Sister Liu had to stay in Banshan Village for an extended period of time because of two patients.

After his parents were buried, Qin Shaoyu fell seriously ill again, and it was Sister Liu who brought him back to life.

Qin Shaoyan helped out from the side and actually learned quite a bit of medical knowledge from Sister Liu.

Qin Shaoyu's wife, Li Ruoyan, went missing. The villagers assumed that Li Ruoyan had gone back to her parents' home, which was why she hadn't been caught in the fire.

Someone went to Li Ruoyan's parents' home in the next village to ask her to come back and take care of her husband and son, but they couldn't find her.

Not only has Li Ruoyan disappeared, but her father has also disappeared.

The villagers told Qin Shaoyu the news, but Qin Shaoyu did not react at all.

Everyone was puzzled. Qin Shaoyu loved his wife so much, so why was he showing no reaction at all?

Qin Shaoyan finally asked the truth.

However, Sister Liu's hearing was enhanced by her internal energy, allowing her to hear their conversation and learn the truth.

Qin Shaoyu said painfully, "That night, she made a bowl of sweet soup herself. She ladled it into a bowl and handed it to me and my parents. After drinking the soup, I felt very sleepy and fell asleep. I wouldn't have woken up if the child hadn't cried so terribly."

"But waking up didn't help. The medicine left me completely weak. I could have run to the yard in just a few steps, but I could only stare at those few steps and couldn't get out no matter what I did..."

Qin Shaoyu's voice was filled with hatred: "How could she be so heartless? Yuan'er is her own son. She actually abandoned Yuan'er in the fire."

Her voice choked with sobs and regret: "My mother never agreed to my marriage to Li Ruoyan, but I was blinded by her beauty and insisted on marrying her. In the end, it caused the deaths of my parents..."

It also ruined his future.

His face was ruined and his legs were crippled, so he was completely unqualified to participate in scientific expeditions.

His future is completely ruined.

Qin Shaoyan didn't know how to comfort Qin Shaoyu. He was just a simple child who grew up in a mountain village. He never imagined that there could be such evil in human nature, or that people could be so cruel.

He could understand Qin Shaoyu's pain, but he couldn't truly empathize with him.

Qin Shaoyan could only silently stay by Qin Shaoyu's side, feeding him medicine and changing his dressings.

His cousin is really a good guy.

Qin Shaoyu was not an ungrateful person; he kept this kindness in his heart.

Qin Shaoyu and the old lady were both out of danger, and Sister Liu returned to the village.

Liu Tong is not at home.

Sister Liu: "Where's my brother?"

Liu Niang: "This child just likes to run around outside. I don't know where he's gone off to. Just leave him alone."

Her son's martial arts skills were almost as good as hers, so she wasn't worried about him being in danger at all.

Where did Liu Dong go?
Naturally, they went to investigate the disappearance of villagers in the neighboring village.

This world is too peaceful, which also means it's too boring.

Such a rare and unusual event has occurred, how could Liu Dong possibly let it go?
His current strength is already at the pinnacle of this world; even if he were to face the imperial army, he wouldn't be in danger. If he couldn't defeat thousands upon thousands, he could always run away.

He has now regained his ability to draw talismans, and can now draw invisibility talismans that conceal his form and aura, allowing him to enter and leave the palace.

Liu Tong arrived at the neighboring village, where it was quiet and deserted.

He circled the village twice but found no clues.

After all, a long time has passed, and a heavy rain fell during that period, which washed away any clues that might have existed.

The indoor clues couldn't be washed away by the rain, but later, government officials came to investigate, and villagers' relatives and friends came looking for people. With people coming and going, even if there were clues, they were all wiped out.

Liu Tong did not believe it was the work of ghosts or monsters, as the concentration of spiritual energy in this world was too low to allow ghosts or monsters to form.

Even after three years of cultivation, he has only reached the second level of Qi Refining.

In this world, he can forget about achieving Foundation Establishment.

This was definitely man-made.

Liu Tong thought of many possible places for the villagers to go.

After all, I didn't read those online novels in my previous life for nothing.

The first possibility is that someone practicing demonic arts kidnapped the person.

The second possibility is that the villagers were captured by people from the martial arts world, and they want them to do something.

The third possibility is that someone in the imperial court intervened without informing the local government, suggesting that the person who intervened might have rebellious intentions.

The fourth possibility is that a wealthy and powerful person discovered some treasure in the mountains, captured people to dig for the treasure, or dug up some kind of tomb.
The fifth possibility...

Liu Tong glanced at the mountains on one side of the village and decided to go into the mountains to explore again tomorrow.

It's time to go home.

Although his parents allowed him to roam outside all day, he had to come home for dinner and sleep at home at night.

Using her lightness skill, Liu Tong returned home in no time.

Liu Qiu was very happy to see Sister Liu and asked about Qin Shaoyu. Sister Liu told him about it.

Because they were family, and knowing that although his younger brother liked gossip, he was a tight-lipped person who wouldn't spread the Qin family's affairs, he told them what he had heard.

Both Liu's father and mother were stunned. They never imagined that the tragedy of the Qin family was caused by their daughter-in-law.

But why?

Liu Tong guessed: "Perhaps she had a lover and wanted to be with him, so she killed her husband's family."

Liu Niang: "But this woman is too ruthless to even spare her own son."

Father Liu sighed, "The most poisonous heart is that of a woman. That Qin Shaoyu became a scholar at such a young age, with a bright future ahead of him, yet this poisonous woman looks down on him and cheats on him with someone else. Could it be that her lover is of a higher status?"

Liu Tong: "Definitely! If someone can send assassins to set fires and kill people at night, then their lover's identity must be extraordinary."

A thought struck him: could Li Ruoyan's lover be related to the disappearance in the neighboring village?
After all, Li Ruoyan and her father were from the next village, and her father had also disappeared.

The next day, Liu Dong went out after breakfast.

He slung a basket over his shoulder and pretended to go up the mountain to gather herbs.

After entering the mountains, Liu Dong changed direction and headed towards the mountains where the neighboring village was located.

There are large gaps between the mountains, which are what people call cliffs, making it impossible to run directly from one mountain to another.

But this is only true for ordinary people; for Liu Dong, it was an easy task.

Liu Dong's lightness skill is far superior to the lightness skills of this world. (End of Chapter)
