I sell demon meat in the city

Chapter 63 Cleaning up the portal
The night was calm and peaceful; the entire town was so quiet that not even a dog barked.

Xiao Qi sat cross-legged on the bed, closing her eyes and sensing the sounds around her.

Old Lin didn't leave. There were two stone pillars on either side of the gate, and he was sitting cross-legged just like her, breathing in and out the energy of heaven and earth.

She really wanted to look further out to see the Xiao family, but unfortunately her abilities were limited. When she spread her divine sense, she could only see the situation within ten meters of her own yard at most.

This ability arose after I ate the fox demon's core last time, and it was given to me by the "hole" between my eyebrows.

The space inside the "hole" wasn't large. There was a tiny, sesame-seed-sized point of light, and a wisp of something, shrouded in mist, entwined together as if it were wrapped around something.

Several times Xiao Qi wanted to try and see what was wrapped inside, but as soon as she was about to try, she would fall asleep immediately.

From this, she deduced that it was most likely filled with sleep bugs.

There was a bug inside her brain, and she felt it was necessary to get it out.

But the Jade Fairy is ignoring everyone now, so there's nothing she can do.

When Meng Shulan returned after finishing her boxing practice and taking a shower, Xiao Qi was already asleep sitting up.

She could tell at a glance whether her daughter was meditating or sleeping.

This child snores when he sleeps sitting up.

She laid Xiaoqi down and then got into bed next to her daughter. She closed her eyes and soon fell into a deep sleep.

Since she started practicing boxing, Meng Shulan's sleep quality has improved significantly. The physical fatigue has stopped her from overthinking, and she falls asleep almost as soon as her head hits the pillow.

The mother and daughter slept soundly through the night, only to be awakened by noises outside the gate at the crack of dawn.

It was the Xiao family who came looking for them.

Meng Shulan helped Xiao Qi get up and change clothes, then calmly and composedly went out of the courtyard and opened the gate.

But as soon as Meng Shulan stepped out of the door, she was met with a fierce palm strike carrying murderous intent.

Fortunately, Lin Qingquan reacted quickly enough to step in front of his wife and neutralize the palm strike with his inner energy.

Meng Qi clenched her little fists and glared at the old man.

"Sect Leader Xiao, don't push your luck. My wife is just an ordinary person."

Lin Qingquan looked coldly at Xiao Chenghai. Unlike the previous confrontation, this time he was truly angry, and his gaze towards Xiao Chenghai carried a murderous intent.

What did Shulan do wrong?

Just because she married him, she deserves to be persecuted by the Xiao family time and time again.
"Lin Qingquan, how dare you! You treat Yuehua like this for a woman like that! Don't forget where you come from!"

Xiao Chenghai was so angry that his face turned ashen. If it weren't for Xiao Wanghai and Yi Nuo stopping him, he would have already attacked him.

This wicked disciple actually severed Yuehua's meridians! How dare he!
"Is Sect Leader Xiao getting old and forgetful? I've already left Dragon Mountain and have nothing to do with your Xiao family anymore. Besides, I don't owe your Xiao family anything. Don't forget, I saved Xiao Yinuo's life!"

Upon hearing Lin Qingquan announce his withdrawal from Longshan, the surrounding crowd erupted in a flurry of discussion.

It's important to know that Lin Qingquan is a leading figure among the younger generation. His departure from Longshan may not affect him personally, but it is definitely a great loss for Longshan.

There were all sorts of opinions circulating around, including some who were gloating.

"Brother Lin, why would you suddenly leave Longshan?"

"Yeah, didn't they say he was engaged to Xiao Yuehua? How come his meridians were severed?" "Huh? Xiao Yuehua's meridians were severed? When did that happen? Really?"

People who had just heard the news rushed over and grabbed the speaker to ask questions, their tone filled with excitement and gossip.

If your meridians are broken, that means you've lost your cultivation, so you'll become a useless person.

Lin Qingquan glanced around and said calmly, "Let me clarify for everyone: I have never acknowledged the marriage agreement mentioned by the Xiao family. I pursued my wife for three years before we got married and had children. I have absolutely no relationship with Xiao Yuehua. My daughter is already five years old, and I hope everyone can consider the child's feelings and not bring this up again."

Furthermore, I did indeed sever Xiao Yuehua's meridians. She came here last night to ambush my wife and daughter, and even threatened me with my daughter. This is intolerable! Before, when my wife was pregnant, she also persecuted her while I was away. Fortunately, she and the child were rescued by passersby. Otherwise, I wouldn't even be able to see my daughter now!

"Lin Qingquan, you..." Xiao Chenghai was so angry that he trembled and couldn't even utter a complete sentence when he saw him announce his withdrawal from Longshan in public and say that he had never admitted to the marriage.

Lin Qingquan didn't care what he said and sneered, "Sect Leader Xiao, don't pretend you don't know. My warning to Xiao Yuehua last time was crystal clear: if she harms my wife and daughter again, I will not let her off easily! But she insists on crossing my bottom line, so don't blame me for being impolite!"

The onlookers erupted in another uproar.
"Heavens, Xiao Yuehua's meridians are truly severed."

“Serves her right. According to the rules, persecuting an ordinary person without cause should result in severing one’s own meridians. Lin Qingquan just helped her out; it’s nothing.”

"That's right. Lin Qingquan hasn't even acknowledged the engagement, yet she's still claiming to be his fiancée outside. She's treating his lawfully wedded wife like a mistress. And she calls herself the eldest daughter of the Xiao family? Can't she get married? Why does she have to cling to a married man?"

"Pah! I hate people like that the most. They have to have what they want, as if they're some kind of princess?"

"So it seems Brother Lin's withdrawal from Longshan was also because of Xiao Yuehua. Tsk tsk tsk, Longshan and the Xiao family are truly unfortunate to have such a woman!"

"Without Lin Qingquan, Longshan is nothing."

The discussions continued unabated. Xiao Chenghai's blood boiled, and his gaze towards Lin Qingquan and Meng Shulan was like a knife and an axe, wishing he could chop the two of them up alive.

But Xiao Wanghai, whose abilities surpassed his, kept one hand on his shoulder, preventing him from making a move.

"Wang Hai, are you just going to watch your good disciple make such a fuss about Longshan and Yuehua?"

He turned to look at his junior brother and gritted his teeth, saying, "No matter what, you must give Yuehua an explanation today and clean up the sect!"

He knew that the only one who could deal with Lin Qingquan was Xiao Wanghai.

But he also knew that Xiao Wanghai would not lay a hand on Lin Qingquan.

"Wanghai, don't forget that my father saved your life. What did you promise him before he left?"

Xiao Wanghai frowned, his gaze towards his apprentice was complex.

He truly hadn't expected that he would actually sever Xiao Yuehua's meridians.

This is worse than taking her life.

But Lin Qingquan was not in a hurry, and looked at his master calmly.

The master and apprentice stared at each other for a long time, neither of them speaking first.

Xiao Chenghai grew anxious and turned his gaze to Meng Shulan, "Meng Shulan is no ordinary person. She was the one who injured Yuehua last night."

This is what Xiao Yuehua managed to say before she fell into a coma. She said that Meng Shulan was faking it, that she was not an ordinary person, and that she was the one who injured her!

He fainted after saying that...

Wishing everyone a happy and healthy Dragon Boat Festival!
