I sell demon meat in the city

Chapter 74 Xiao Qi's Breakfast

"What about people?"

The group returned to the courtyard where the Xiao family was staying. As soon as they entered, they saw Xiao Chenghai come out of the main room. He looked around but did not see Meng Shulan, and his face darkened.

"What's going on? You think all of you can't beat her?"

Xiao Yuehua's meridians were now completely severed, and she was in unbearable pain. She screamed in anguish that she would take Meng Shulan's life or she would not leave and would not return to the capital.

Normally, for the Xiao family, taking Meng Shulan's life would be as easy as crushing an ant; it wouldn't be difficult at all.

But now, not to mention Lin Qingquan is here, there are so many people in the circle in the town, as well as Zhang Jinwu from the garrison in Sanqing Mountain, so it's really not a good time to make a direct move.

But while she could give up her life, she couldn't be easily spared.

At the very least, they should be caught and punished. If all else fails, they should apologize and give Yuehua a couple of slaps to calm her down.

Otherwise, if they do nothing, what about the reputation of the Xiao family?
However, the two people sent in the morning returned with broken arms and fractured tailbones, saying that they had been broken by Meng Shulan's punch.

Xiao Chenghai was stunned.

It turns out Yuehua was right; Meng Shulan is no ordinary person.

Xiao Chenghai became an instant sensation.

That wicked disciple Lin Qingquan, how dare he sever Yuehua's meridians even though he knew she hadn't broken any rules?
If someone hadn't brought back a message saying that a very powerful snake demon had appeared in Sanqing Mountain, Lin Qingquan and Zhang Jinwu, even working together, wouldn't have been a match for it. The main reason was that the snake's scales were too hard, and their weapons couldn't hurt it.

Lin Qingquan's chances of survival are slim.

So Xiao Chenghai immediately found someone to guard Meng Shulan's door, and to capture her as soon as she returned.

But I didn't expect to come back empty-handed after waiting for so long.

"Sect Leader Xiao, Brother Lin is back."

The leader looked grim, but he still asked the question he had been wanting to ask, "Has Lin Qingquan really left Longshan?"

Xiao Chenghai glanced at him, didn't answer, but asked instead, "Why is he back? Has the snake demon on the mountain been dealt with?"

Several of them had witnessed the black snake and saw Nan Liangyi's son nearly fall into the Dragon Pool when the water column swept against the cliff, but Lin Qingquan arrived in time to save him.

Later, when the black snake came ashore, they were afraid of being affected, so they quickly returned.

Originally, he was about to pack his things and leave, but Xiao Chenghai called him over to arrange for him to capture Meng Shulan.

I thought catching a woman would be a piece of cake.

Unexpectedly, Lin Qingquan first broke off relations with them, and then witnessed the woman beat Meng Wenpei, the eldest daughter of the Meng family, so badly that she fled in disarray.

Honestly, even if Lin Qingquan weren't here today, they might not have been able to bring that woman.

"It should be resolved, Sect Leader Xiao. We apologize that we were powerless to help with today's matter."

The man in the lead bowed to Xiao Chenghai, then turned and left with his men.

The moment the gate closed, Lin Qingquan appeared in the courtyard.

"Bastard!"

Almost the instant he saw who it was, Xiao Chenghai flew into a rage and attacked.

With a muffled thud, the two people did not make physical contact, but their inner energy collided in mid-air. As it spread outwards, it shook a jujube tree in the courtyard, which was as thick as an arm, and finally snapped in two with a crack.

Lin Qingquan stood still, while Xiao Chenghai took two or three steps back.

"Lin Qingquan, you..."

"Why bother, Uncle-Master?" Lin Qingquan looked at Xiao Chenghai with a calm expression. "Five years ago, my wife almost died along with her unborn child. Uncle-Master should know who did it, right? I've held back until now and haven't taken Xiao Yuehua's life. Shouldn't you be grateful?"

Xiao Chenghai was furious and embarrassed. "Then aren't they dead? Since they're alive and well, why did you sever Yuehua's meridians? Lin Qingquan, you really have no regard for fraternal affection. Longshan raised you and taught you swordsmanship, and this is how you treat us? You have no sense of morality. I wonder how you'll survive in this circle in the future?"

Lin Qingquan remained silent. He looked at Xiao Chenghai and couldn't help but shake his head, calling him "Uncle-Master." He had originally wanted to reason with him, but he realized that he was still naive.

Some people don't deserve to be reasoned with.

However, some things still need to be clarified.

Lin Qingquan coldly replied, "Has Sect Leader Xiao forgotten that the internal energy cultivation method I learned at Longshan is a family heirloom of my Lin family? It's true that I later learned your swordsmanship, but I also improved upon it and taught it to you in its entirety. In addition, I also wrote down the techniques for my newly created Eight Immortals Sword and gave them to you for free. How do you calculate all of this?"

"What's there to calculate? You're a disciple of Longshan. Shouldn't your newly created sword technique be shared among fellow disciples?"

"So the result of my sharing is that Xiao Yuehua will kill my wife and daughters?"

"You and Yuehua were already engaged."

"Don't you know how the engagement was arranged, and whether I acknowledged it or not?"

"you"

The two were arguing angrily when the courtyard gate creaked open from the outside.

Lin Qingquan glanced at Xiao Wanghai and Xiao Yinuo who had entered, his expression unchanged. He coldly said, "Now that I, Lin Qingquan, have withdrawn from Longshan, I have nothing to do with Longshan from this day forward. Xiao Yuehua's attack on my daughter and the resulting disruption of her meridians was her own fault. If she dares to provoke my wife and daughter again, I will personally send her to Shanhaitang. Hmph!"

After saying that, he turned and walked towards the door without intending to greet his master, Xiao Wanghai.

"Wang Hai, look at your good disciple. He's been in Longshan for so many years, yet he has absolutely no sense of belonging. He even..."

“Senior brother,” Xiao Wanghai interrupted him, speaking calmly, “Now that Qingquan has left Longshan, his matter ends here. Don’t say anything more. As for Yuehua, I told you long ago that if she remains stubborn and unrepentant, she will get into trouble sooner or later. A father is responsible for his son’s misbehavior, and you are the one who should reflect on your own actions to see her end up like this.”

Alright, let's pack up and head back to Kyoto.

He didn't mention again that he shouldn't go after Meng Shulan to settle scores, because on the one hand, it was useless to say it, and on the other hand, he had witnessed Xiao Qi kill the snake demon with his own eyes, and knew that with their abilities, no matter how many people went, they would just be throwing their lives away.

Go ahead and embarrass yourself if you want; he's too lazy to care and doesn't want to care.

After leaving, Lin Qingquan went straight back to Meng Shulan's residence and found her steaming egg custard. It was a huge bowl of it, yellow and tender, and looked delicious.

An egg pancake was being fried in a frying pan next to it, while a soy milk maker on the other side was humming, with milky white liquid spinning rapidly inside.

Lin Qingquan's stomach rumbled at just the right moment.

I've been busy all morning, and it's almost 10 o'clock now, and I just realized I haven't had breakfast yet.

"Hurry up if you want to eat, I have to take it to Xiao Qi."

Lin Qingquan ate while watching her pack up her food. There was a large bowl of steamed egg custard, a stack of egg pancakes (at least ten), a large thermos of soy milk, and ten sausages that had been fried in oil. When she put them into the lunchbox, she sprinkled cumin and chili powder on top. They smelled delicious and would taste amazing rolled up with the egg pancakes.

Unfortunately, he didn't get any, because she packed all the sausages into a lunchbox.

All they gave him was a bowl of soy milk and half an egg pancake.

"Honey, are all these for Xiaoqi?"

"Yes, she has a big appetite."

Lin Qingquan:
He's been back for so many days, how could he not know how much his daughter eats?

However, Lin Qingquan didn't press the matter further. He simply pointed to the steamed egg custard and asked, "Could I have some of this?"

"This is for Xiaolong. How can you, an adult, compete with a newborn cub?"

Lin Qingquan:
Good night!
