Daily News: You promised yourself to be a fisherman, but you've become a martial arts god?

Half an hour after Zhang Tianqi left, someone handed Li Nian a tenancy contract.

After confirming that it was her own tenancy contract, Li Nian burned it immediately.

From this moment on, their family is freed from the status of tenant farmers.

After tidying up the house, we can take a boat to the city early tomorrow morning and settle down.

We don't have much stuff at home. The most expensive things are the two new quilts we bought and the food we haven't finished eating in the last two days. There's no need to bring anything else.

During the meal, Zhao Lijuan noticed Li Nian's ten cracked fingers and her eyes were full of concern.

"Erlang, your finger..."

"It's from martial arts training. Our martial arts school teaches claw techniques, so it's inevitable that your fingers will break. It's nothing serious."

"Let me get a cloth to bandage it for you."

As she spoke, Zhao Lijuan took out her own clothes from the cabinet, cut out several strips of cloth with scissors, and insisted on bandaging Li Nian.

Li Nian couldn't refuse, so she had to let her sister-in-law bandage her wound.

The little girl, Duoduo, gently blew on the wound on his finger.

"Uncle, does it hurt? Let me blow on it for you."

"If Duoduo blows, Uncle's pain will stop."

"Hehe, Uncle, what is claw kung fu?"

"It's about using your claws to grab people."

"Wow, that's amazing! A rooster once scratched me; its claws are really powerful!"

"Duoduo, don't talk nonsense, Uncle isn't a rooster..."

The firelight flickered, and the family chatted and laughed, casting their shadows large on the wall...

Silent all night.

Li Nian got up very early in the morning.

He stretched, and his bones cracked and popped.

"Comfortable!"

Li Nian couldn't help but let out a satisfied shout.

After a day of hard training and a night of rest and food, my body has recovered.

After stretching my body briefly, I put on the martial arts gym outfit that I had dried in the oven the night before and went out.

Unlike the previous days, he did not open the system intelligence.

He moved into the city today, where his personal safety is now guaranteed. He needs to gather intelligence as soon as possible and activate the "deduction" function.

"As beautiful as a peach!"

As soon as he stepped out of the side room, he saw his sister-in-law, Zhao Lijuan, with her back to him, bending over and tidying up clothes in a low cabinet in the main room.

Zhao Lijuan has a typical pear-shaped figure, and although her clothes are a bit shabby, it does not diminish her beauty at all.

Zhao Lijuan noticed the commotion in the side room and turned to look sweetly at Li Nian.

"Erlang, you're awake."

"Yes, good morning, sister-in-law."

Li Nian quickly looked away and awkwardly touched her nose.

Suddenly, I caught a whiff of the aroma of meat patties in the air, and my nostrils twitched slightly.

"It smells so good! It's the smell of meat sesame flatbread. Did you make some, sister-in-law?"

"You said yesterday that meat-filled flatbread was delicious, so I made some for you to take to the martial arts school."

Good sister-in-law!

Li Nian was deeply moved.

Breakfast is over.

The family left with their luggage.

As Li Nian reached the village entrance, she glanced back at her old home, but felt no attachment to it.

Water flows to lower place, man goes to higher position.

If a real man wants to establish himself in the world and protect the safety of his family, he must take the first step!

Half an hour later, Li Nian rowed his famous boat to the south of the city, found the housekeeper, and went to the bridal chamber.

The house has been sold to Li Nian, and she can move in ahead of schedule.

However, the signing and handover of the contract will have to wait until the real estate agent completes the relevant procedures at the government office, which will take place in the afternoon.

After quickly setting down her luggage, Li Nian took out ten taels of silver and handed it to Zhao Lijuan.

"Sister-in-law, here is ten taels of silver."

"Take this money and show Duo Duo around the city."

"Buy whatever you want, don't be stingy."

Looking at the silver in front of her, Zhao Lijuan quickly refused.

"Erlang, you've given too much."

"Sister-in-law, we're family. Just take whatever I give you."

"The martial arts gym is open, I'm leaving now."

Worried that Zhao Lijuan would refuse again, Li Nian put down the money, grabbed two meat fritters, and made a quick getaway.

"This Erlang..."

Watching Li Nian's departing figure, Zhao Lijuan shook her head helplessly.

Then, he hugged his daughter, Duoduo, tightly.

"Duoduo, you have a good uncle!"

...

East Gate.

"Damn it!"

"That brat hasn't shown up for two days since he took Senior Brother Tang's fishing rod."

"Having a good fishing rod doesn't mean you can catch fish anymore?"

Zhou Hu sat in a teahouse near the city gate, looking displeased.

"Possibly."

"In the past, Senior Brother Tang would take a broken stick he picked up from the ground, tie a fishing line and hook to it, hang some dirt he rubbed off his body on it, and throw it into the lake. He could catch a big grass carp that way."

"But ever since I spent a lot of money on fishing rods and upgraded my fishing gear, I've been unable to catch anything."

Gan Laicai, a burly man standing to the side, said very seriously.

"Stop talking nonsense, Senior Brother Tang!"

"Take the brothers from the Sea Sand Gang and keep a close watch outside the city. Report to me immediately if you hear any news about that brat!"

"If we do well, and Senior Brother Tang finds the treasure fish, he might reward us with a Qi and Blood Pill. Perhaps then we can also unlock the door to Blood Refining and become Ming Jin masters!"

Ming Jin!

Zhou Hu and Gan Laicai's eyes shone brightly, filled with longing.

Just as the two were having a lively conversation, a man in a blue brocade robe with a gloomy expression, along with more than a dozen burly men in dark blue uniforms, surrounded the teahouse.

If Li Nian were here, she would definitely recognize the man in the blue brocade robe.

This person was none other than Zhang Tianqi, the second young master of the Zhang family.

"Yesterday, a member of my Zhang family was poisoned while drinking tea at this teahouse."

"Men, smash this teahouse to pieces!"

"If anyone dares to obstruct me, beat them to death!"

Zhang Tianqi waved his hand, and more than a dozen burly men took out their batons from their waists and rushed into the teahouse to do odd jobs.

Zhou Hu's expression froze for a moment.

"The Zhang family!"

"Go to hell!"

"You guys hold them off, I'll go to the martial arts gym to call for backup!"

After saying that, he hurriedly ran away through the back door of the teahouse.

Zhang Tianqi watched as the teahouse was vandalized, a sinister smile creeping onto his lips, a cold glint flashing in his eyes.

"The gambling den in the back alley is cheating, swindling my Zhang family's hard-earned money."

"Smash this teahouse! Smash the gambling den!"

...

Haoran Martial Arts School.

"Third Senior Brother, something terrible has happened! The Zhang family has smashed up our teahouse near the East Gate Tower!"

Zhou Hu hurriedly returned to the martial arts school and reported to Xiong Gang, who was giving instructions at the outer courtyard.

Behind him, several outer disciples who had been assigned to other areas, covered in injuries, stumbled back to the martial arts school, supporting each other.

"The Zhang family not only smashed up the teahouse, but also the gambling den and several shops!"

"Third Senior Brother, you must stand up for us!"

Upon hearing this, Xiong Gang glared angrily.

"How dare you!"

"Did you specify that those areas belong to our Haoran Martial Arts School?"

"I said it!"

"It would have been better if we hadn't told them. The beating only got worse. Several of my fellow disciples couldn't get up. If we hadn't run fast, we would have been beaten to a pulp too!"

Xiong Gang's eyelids twitched.

"Do you know who's leading this?"

"Reporting to Third Senior Brother, it is Zhang Tianqi, the second young master of the Zhang family!"

Upon hearing that Zhang Tianqi was leading the charge, Xiong Gang's tiger-like eyes narrowed.

Haoran Martial Arts School manages the eastern part of the city and owns many businesses there, all guarded by disciples.

In Qianhu County, this is something that all parties involved are well aware of.

Now, Zhang Tianqi is personally leading people to vandalize these places, which is no longer a conflict between his subordinates.

Clearly, the Zhang family and their Haoran Martial Arts School are openly challenging each other.

Although Haoran Martial Arts School is one of the four major martial arts schools in Qianhu County and has Jiang Chongyan, who is at the late stage of Dark Force, in charge, the Zhang family has a master of Transformation Force who is above Dark Force, so Haoran Martial Arts School does not dare to provoke them easily.

He couldn't handle this himself, so he had to ask his master!

Without daring to think further, Xiong Gang hurriedly ran towards the inner courtyard, shouting at the top of his lungs.

"Master! Something terrible has happened!"

The inner courtyard, back hall.

Jiang Chongyan shuddered when he heard the approaching shouts.

A hint of resentment flashed in He Youchan's beautiful eyes as she pulled the blanket over herself.

Even if I gave you a chance, you wouldn't be able to do it!
