Republic of China era: A hundred-year-old still practicing martial arts? Is that right?

The next morning, as dawn broke, shouts rang out in the courtyard.

in the courtyard.

Shen Jinluan's fist techniques all possess a natural and graceful charm.

She waved her jade fist, her brows furrowed with undisguised joy.

Lin Ji walked out of the main room, his gaze suddenly falling on Shen Jinluan, and he exclaimed in surprise, "You've broken through?"

"Yes, I have to thank you for your dual cultivation technique, old man." Shen Jinluan raised her eyebrows and her eyes were full of joy when she saw Lin Ji. She stopped her fist technique, walked forward slowly, and put her arm around Lin Ji's chest.

The Jade of Unity Technique is indeed no ordinary item. Not only is Lin Ji's body full of qi and blood, but the internal strength he broke through to last night has also become much more solid.

In the side room.

Bai Yu'er was suddenly startled, the copper spoon in her hand freezing in mid-air.

"The Jade Union Technique!"

"This is the cultivation technique that the old man and she used."

After a moment of stiffness, Bai Yu'er's eyes reddened slightly, and her pretty face lost some color. She ladled the porridge from the pot and pushed open the wooden door of the side room: "Grandpa Lin, Sister Shen, dinner is ready."

Shen Jinluan's peach blossom eyes flickered slightly as she swayed her hips and walked towards Bai Yu'er. She reached out and took the food from Bai Yu'er's hands, chuckling softly, "Little sister, why are you angry with your older sister?"

"No...no." Bai Yu'er gently wiped away the tears from the corners of her eyes and replied with her head down.

Shen Jinluan smiled slightly, carried the tray into the house, and Bai Yu'er followed closely behind. When she passed Lin Ji, she slightly raised her eyes.

Seeing Bai Yu'er's pitiful gaze, Lin Ji spoke softly, "Little Bai..."

Bai Yu'er seemed not to hear.

I've had breakfast.

While Bai Yu'er was washing the dishes, Shen Jinluan clung to Lin Ji, giving him a disapproving look: "Old man, isn't one of me enough? Do you have to mess with other girls too?"

Lin Ji couldn't help but roll his eyes inwardly: "Do you think I wanted to... It's just that the conditions for unlocking that Book of Reversal of Fate in the sea are too harsh."

Lin Ji gave an awkward smile and remained silent.

"Alright, considering you helped me break through to the Dark Force realm, I'll let you off the hook. But it's settled then, once everything is settled, I want you to marry me as my legal wife." Shen Jinluan's peach blossom eyes darted around, looking at the figure in the side room.

"The legal wife? A formally wedded wife?" Lin Ji was shocked. "This woman really knows how to say something shocking."

"What's wrong?" Seeing that Lin Ji still didn't speak, Shen Jinluan looked up into Lin Ji's eyes. "You're not happy?"

"I can't refuse, you old man. I was a virgin back then, and you took advantage of me." Shen Jinluan snuggled closer to Lin Ji, then turned to look at Bai Yu'er:

"Old man, go outside and check things out. I need to have a word with Yu'er."

"Alright." Lin Ji had the same idea. Last night, the group turned Jiangcheng upside down, so it was impossible for Jiangcheng to be calm today.

However, he was somewhat surprised.

Did Shen Jinluan just accept Bai Yu'er like that?

Lin Ji thought about it and felt relieved.

These days, there aren't so many rules.

"Have a good talk with Bai Yatou," Lin Ji said to Shen Jinluan, still worried.

Shen Jinluan raised an eyebrow and rolled her eyes at Lin Ji: "Don't worry, I won't make things difficult for your little Bai girl."

Lin Ji then turned around and walked out of the courtyard, relieved.

"Extra number! Extra number!"

"The Japanese stronghold in the east of the city was attacked last night, and the Japanese prince was killed on the spot. The Tongmenghui claims that they are responsible for the incident."

I heard the newsboy shouting as he walked through the streets.

Lin Ji couldn't help but find it amusing.

"Why does this young Zhao seem to be using newspapers to play the fool every time?"

Lin Ji's gaze swept across the street.

People were hurrying along the streets.

Logically speaking, when such big news breaks in the past, quite a few people would buy newspapers.

Today, however, few people are buying it.

"With foreigners putting pressure on the authorities, even newspapers dare not report the truth."

"Hey, have you heard? The warlord's musketeers have been mobilized, and they've even borrowed a lot of muskets from Britain."

"Yes. Those Japanese are despicable; they actually used refugees for experiments."

Lin Ji listened intently. In the streets and alleys, many people were holding colorful leaflets and whispering among themselves, discussing the current situation.

really.

Zhao Qiaosheng publicized the fact that the Japanese were conducting human experiments.

The Tongmenghui's efficiency was undeniably high.

"Click click click!"

A series of shoe-like sounds came from behind Lin Ji.

A squad of armed police officers ran up from behind, and a whistle rang out from the head constable.

"Police station is on duty, everyone get out of the way! Mutant refugees have been discovered in the south of the city. To avoid accidental injury, please stay indoors as much as possible."

Lin Ji stepped back slightly, watching the police team rushing away into the distance, and thought to himself:

"With the Tongmenghui's support and these mutated refugees as evidence, the Japanese can no longer stand firm in Jiangcheng."

Inside the Jiangcheng Military Governor's Mansion.

The military governor's commander sat at the head of a round table.

On either side was a person with a Western face and a person dressed in Japanese attire.

"Mr. Takeda, you mean an old man? Not some kind of alliance?" Zack stroked the stubble on his chin and looked at Takeda Yuyasu.

"Yes!" Takeda Yuyasu slammed his hand on the table and stood up abruptly: "Commander, I hope you can give an explanation for this matter."

"Oh? Mr. Takeda, shouldn't you also settle the score for using my Chinese compatriots for human experiments?" The first commander looked sharply at Takeda Yu'an.

"Just a bunch of refugees. The Empire is here to help you clean up your trash." Takeda Yuyasu stared directly at the Commander-in-Chief of the Military Governor's Office.

"Haha, that's funny." The commander withdrew his gaze and looked at Zack: "Mr. Zack, how about we give you another third of the Japanese concession in the east of the city?"

"Hahaha, Commander, what a clever way to shift the blame, but I like it." Zack laughed loudly, looking at Takeda Yuyasu with disdain, not taking this Japanese stray dog ​​seriously at all.

"However," Zack changed the subject, "there are many gangs in Jiangcheng, and the construction of the concession is progressing very slowly. I still need the Commander's help."

"You mean Du Qingyi?" The warlord's commander frowned and looked at Zack.

"Hmm!" Zack nodded, then smiled slightly. "If you, Commander, assist in taking down the Green Robe Gang, I am willing to give you the Green Robe Gang's advisor, Liu Qingzhu, after the matter is accomplished."

The warlord's commander was taken aback: "Are you confident?"

"Naturally, the Great British Bloodline Elixir has made another breakthrough. As long as we break through the Green Robe Gang, I'll naturally have a way to take down Liu Qingzhu." Zack said, turning to look at Takeda Yuyasu.

"Mr. Takeda, let's make a deal. Don't you like the female leader of the Sea Dragon Gang? Help us wipe out the Green Robe Gang, and I'll give you this woman. Besides, we'll only take one-sixth of the concession."

Upon hearing this, Takeda Yuyasu raised an eyebrow sharply.

He couldn't sleep at night after hearing about this woman from the leader of the Fengxi Gang.

With such a great opportunity, all thoughts of imperial glory and royal honor can be thrown to the back of one's mind.

"I promise you!" Takeda Yuyasu's eyes gleamed with lust.

……

Lin Ji had unknowingly arrived at the entrance of the martial arts hall.

I could see it from afar.

Gu Yanqiu was leaning against the vermilion gate, his face full of worry.
