Dual-wielding! 100x proficiency, I'll grind my way to godhood!

Chen Mo stood in the courtyard.

Having just broken through to the Qi and Blood Realm, he was closing his eyes and sensing the slowly rotating Qi and Blood in his dantian.

It was heavy, like mercury compressed to its limit; with each rotation, its muscles and bones were tempered bit by bit.

The courtyard gate was suddenly kicked open.

"Bang!"

The door slammed against the wall, shaking off a cloud of dust.

Qingzhu was squatting by the well washing clothes when she was so startled that her hand trembled, and the wet clothes fell to the ground. Suyue rushed out of the house and pulled her behind her.

Li Mingyuan strode in.

Wearing a brand-new brocade robe and a fine jade pendant hanging at her waist, she looked like a peacock with its tail feathers spread.

He stood in the courtyard, his gaze sweeping over Su Yue and Qing Zhu, finally settling on Chen Mo, a hint of undisguised pleasure on his lips.

"Zhang Deshuai! You're in big trouble!"

The sound was sharp and bright, and could be heard throughout the entire alley.

"Three of my Li family's guards were found dead in an alley a few days ago. Strange iron fragments were found in their bodies. The murder weapon was extremely vicious and unlike anything I've ever seen before!"

"On the night of the incident, you had an argument with me at Zuixiang Pavilion, and someone even saw you walk towards that alley after leaving Zuixiang Pavilion! The evidence is overwhelming; let's see what you can use to atone for these three blood debts!"

The imperial guard stepped in from outside and raised his hand to stop him.

He showed his badge and didn't say much.

"Zhang Deshuai, the Li family has filed a police report, saying that you harmed three of their guards. Come with us to the Zhenfu Division to cooperate with the investigation."

An elderly man in a gray robe walked out from behind the door and came up behind Li Mingyuan.

It's obvious they're from the Li family.

He was in his sixties, thin, with deep-set eyes and a gaze like two nails.

"Young Master Zhang, please."

The voice wasn't loud, but every word carried a sense of pressure.

Chen Mo could sense that the gray-robed old man and the inspector were far stronger than him!

The gray-robed old man was at the Qi and Blood Realm.

The inspector must be at least a master of the Inner Strength Realm!

Li Mingyuan pointed at Su Yue and Qing Zhu, his eyes gleaming with undisguised greed and lewdness.

"Take those two women back with you! They're in cahoots with Zhang Deshuai, interrogate them together!"

"Huh? Am I the inspector or are you the inspector?"

The inspector glanced sideways at Li Mingyuan.

Li Mingyuan immediately shut up.

"Both of them are related to this case, so they will also go to the Zhenfu Division together."

The inspector looked at the two women.

"I will do whatever the adults say."

Chen Mo squinted and cupped his hands in greeting.

Judging from the inspectors' attitude, they are at least not letting the Li family do whatever they want.

The gun is stored in the bronze ring's storage space, so there's no need to worry about them finding evidence. The only weakness is Su Yue and Qing Zhu; you should give them a hint before you go.

Even if something unexpected happens, he still has two portals that allow him to travel back to Earth at any time, which is his greatest source of confidence!

Chen Mo pulled himself out of his thoughts, deciding to focus on the present and maintain the proper attitude.

"Sir, I have always been an honest and law-abiding person. In the days since I came to town, I have not stolen, robbed, or fallen out with anyone."

The neighbors can all testify. I wouldn't dare commit murder even if you gave me ten lives. Your Honor, please investigate thoroughly.

"Rest assured, I know what I'm doing. You just need to come back to the Garrison Command with me to cooperate with the investigation. The Garrison Commander is an upright official and will never wrong an innocent person."

The inspector glanced at Chen Mo expressionlessly, his tone icy.

"I understand, and I will cooperate fully with your investigation."

Chen Mo respectfully cupped his hands, turned around and walked towards Su Yue and Qing Zhu, looking at the two women expressionlessly.

"The two of you who came out of Zuixiang Pavilion with me are now my women. My well-being is the foundation of your well-being. When we're in the main hall, remember we're family, and family doesn't speak like outsiders."

Su Yue instantly understood the meaning behind Chen Mo's words and raised her eyes to meet his gaze.

"Don't worry, young master. Qingzhu and I are already your women, and we won't cause you any trouble."

Chen Mo stared at the two women for two seconds with a blank expression before nodding in satisfaction.

Qingzhu felt a chill run down her spine from Chen Mo's intense gaze; Chen Mo seemed like a completely different person.

Although she couldn't understand the unspoken meaning between the two, she had witnessed Chen Mo's mysterious and unpredictable methods, methods that only legendary immortals possessed, so she was definitely on Chen Mo's side.

The group headed towards the Zhenfu Division.

The Da Yuan Dynasty revered martial arts and combined military and political power.

The country was divided into three levels of jurisdiction: prefectures, counties, and towns. Each city and market town had its own government offices, and local officials were directly appointed by the imperial court.

The highest authority in a region is inevitably the strongest martial artist in that area.

The Town Governor of Qing Shi Town is a true master of the Qi Control Realm, and in this small town, he is considered to be at the top in both power and martial prowess.

Before long, the group arrived at the Zhenfu Division.

Inside the main hall, the garrison commander sat in the main seat. He was about forty years old, with a stern face and a tall, straight posture. On the wooden tray beside him were several metal bullets, which were key pieces of evidence in the murder case.

Chen Mo and the two women stood upright on one side of the hall, their expressions calm.

On the other side, Li Mingyuan, accompanied by the gray-robed old man and Li family guards, was arrogant and domineering. The Li family steward who reported the case was even more confident, just waiting to see Chen Mo be taken down and punished.

Before the garrison commander could speak, the steward of the Li family immediately stepped forward, pointed at Chen Mo, and launched a fierce attack, his finger almost poking Chen Mo's nose.

"My lord! Three nights ago, three of my Li family's guards were brutally murdered in the back alley of Zuixiang Pavilion!"

"On the night of the incident, this kid got into a public argument with my young master at Zuixiang Pavilion, witnessed by the servant in the private room! After the argument, he left with two women, taking the same alley where the incident occurred!"

The manager became increasingly aggressive, raising his voice several times higher.

"My Li family has three guards, each a master of the third or fourth level of Body Refinement! This kid has only been in the martial arts school for a little over a month, his cultivation is mediocre at best, there's no way he could kill three of us with his bare hands!"

"The iron fragments dug out of the body were deeply embedded in flesh, bone, and skull, with tremendous force, clearly indicating that he had concealed an extremely powerful hidden weapon! The motive, the time of the crime, and the bizarre murder weapon—three pieces of irrefutable evidence point to him. We beg Your Honor to severely punish the murderer!"

Upon hearing this, the garrison commander looked at the servant kneeling to the side.

The servant was so frightened that he trembled all over, shrank his neck, and dared not raise his head, stammering:

"My lord, when I delivered the wine that night, I saw with my own eyes Young Master Li storm out, throwing down the curtain. Later, Young Master Zhang led two young ladies and walked towards that alley..."

His voice was so soft it was barely audible, and the second half of the sentence was almost inaudible.

Li Mingyuan immediately stepped forward, a smug smile on his lips, and cupped his hands in greeting to the garrison commander.

"My lord, this young man's origins are unclear, yet he's on friendly terms with Zhao Yong and spends money like water at the Drunken Fragrance Pavilion. The money he obtains is certainly not clean! If you could find out about his hidden weapons and obtain the manufacturing method to hand over to the court, it would be a great achievement!"

These words were a veiled offer of bribes, clearly intended to solidify Chen Mo's guilt.

In an instant, all eyes in the lobby were on Chen Mo, and the pressure was overwhelming.

The garrison commander spoke calmly.

What do you have to say?

Chen Mo slowly raised his head, his tone full of helplessness.

"Sir, I am just a country bumpkin who came from the countryside. I walked thirty miles to reach Qingshi Town and became a disciple of Master Zhou's martial arts school."

Young Master Li is a direct disciple of Master Zhou of the martial arts school. The Li family wields immense power in town. I wouldn't dare to argue with Young Master Li even if I had a hundred lives!

He turned to look at Li Mingyuan, his face completely innocent.

"That day, it was Young Master Zhao who invited me to Zuixiang Pavilion. I was just a medicine deliveryman, and I was fortunate enough to be given a meal by Young Master Zhao. How could I dare to interfere in the feud between Young Master Li and Young Master Zhao?"

Li Mingyuan sneered, his face full of disdain.

"Why should Zhao Yong give you the top courtesan? You know the answer better than anyone!"

Chen Mo replied calmly.

"Because I have the medicine that Young Master Zhao urgently needs."

"What kind of medicine could be worth a courtesan?"

Li Mingyuan questioned him sternly.

Chen Mo looked at him, her tone sincere.

"This medicine was prepared by an old hunter in the countryside. It's a special treatment for men's sexual function. I used it myself, and that night I was able to easily handle two women by myself."

Unfortunately, this medicine is very precious, and we don't have much left.

If Young Master Li is in poor health, I can ask around for you next time I go back to the village, but the price won't be low.

Upon hearing this, Li Mingyuan's face instantly turned pale and then red.

"You're the one who's weak! Your whole family is weak! Who wants your lousy medicine!"

Li Mingyuan looked at Suyue and Qingzhu, and saw that the two women had their heads down, their cheeks flushed, and he was clenching his teeth.

"You peasant, how dare you defile my fairy!"

Chen Mo instantly looked even more aggrieved, and asked him in confusion.

"Young Master Li, please don't speak nonsense. They are my women now. Young Master Li, you wouldn't be deliberately making things difficult for a country bumpkin like me because of Su Yue, would you?"
