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

"Open the daily news!"

As Li Nian's thoughts settled, a frame appeared before her eyes.

[Intelligence 1: You refused Zhang Dasao's (Huang Chunli) attempt to recruit you, but Zhang Dasao wants you even more and has decided to go to Zhang San today and have him steal grain from your house again tonight. Once your family runs out of food, she will then force you to recruit her.]

Zhang San was scammed last night and is now penniless.

"really!"

Looking at the information in the intelligence report, Li Nian thought to himself, "Just as I thought."

Just as he had guessed, Sister-in-law Zhang planned to use the same trick again, stealing his family's grain to force him to join her scheme.

Being handsome makes you an easy target for women!

"So it was that scoundrel Zhang San!"

Li Nian glanced at the name "Zhang San" on the intelligence report, and a lewd figure flashed through her mind.

Zhang San was a few years older than him and shared the same clan as Zhang Daniu, both belonging to the Zhang family's collateral branches.

The Zhang family is a top-tier powerful clan in Qianhu County, controlling numerous industries both inside and outside the city.

The village where he lived was owned by the Zhang family, and his family were considered Zhang's fishermen.

Zhang Daniu was a servant responsible for looking after the village for the Zhang family. He was a wealthy household in the village, which is why he had the money to become an apprentice at the martial arts school.

"Zhang San has been scammed and is penniless, so he will definitely come to steal from him."

"Since you dare come, we can settle the score for you stealing our winter food!"

Li Nian slightly closed her eyes, a cold glint flashing within them.

He can't afford to offend the Zhang family for now, but he can still deal with their petty thieves and cronies.

The fact that Zhang Dasao and others chose to steal shows that they were afraid of being investigated by their own family.

As long as we can catch them red-handed, it's Zhang Dasao and her gang that we need to be afraid of!

"Let's look at the next piece of intelligence."

Composing himself, Li Nian looked at the second piece of intelligence.

[Intelligence 2: Tang Zhengxiong, the second disciple of Haoran Martial Arts School, has been stuck in the Blood Refining stage for two and a half years and urgently needs the Treasure Fish to break through his bottleneck.]

Yesterday you caught over ten green water fish, almost at the level of blue water fish, so I'm certain you have a hiding place for the treasure blue water fish.

[The high price for the fish was to lull you into a false sense of security, making you less vigilant. In reality, they had already entrusted the Hai Sha Gang to plant spies on the way into the city.]

[Once you appear with the treasure fish, we will intercept and seize it to prevent the Zhang family from obtaining the Azure Water Fish.]

Tang Zhengxiong sent Zhou Hu home to find out your address so he could ambush and kill you, then kill your family to silence them and prevent them from reporting you to the authorities and causing unnecessary trouble.

Hehe!

As Li Nian looked at the text on the intelligence report, she clenched her fists so tightly that they cracked, and the veins on her forehead bulged.

He guessed that Tang Zhengxiong must have ulterior motives for being so kind to him for no reason.

It turned out that what they were after was actually a blue-water fish.

They set up such a huge trap for him just for a fish!

After murdering and robbing the treasure, they also wanted to wipe out the whole family!

"Is this the ruthlessness of cultivators?!"

Li Nian slowly closed her eyes, took a deep breath, and then opened them, her gaze turning cold and ruthless.

In the world of cultivation, the strong are respected, and cultivators will stop at nothing to gain power.

At that moment, he understood the cruelty of this world.

However, he was not afraid.

instead.

There was an irrepressible excitement.

Because, deep down, he is a competitive person.

Otherwise, he would not have been able to rise from a common soldier to a general in his previous life!

After a moment, Li Nian regained her composure and pondered deeply.

He was a fisherman's tenant in the Zhang family's fishing business. Tang Zhengxiong was worried that if he caught the Green Water Fish, the Zhang family would beat him to it and he would lose the opportunity to break through his bottleneck.

Therefore, a trap was deliberately set.

This shows that Tang Zhengxiong is a meticulous and ruthless person.

He had to be extremely careful when dealing with this kind of person!

Before becoming a martial arts practitioner and having enough strength to deal with Tang Zhengxiong, you absolutely cannot confront him head-on!

"If I catch the Green Water Fish, Tang Zhengxiong will kill me."

"If I don't catch it, and after a long time, Tang Zhengxiong hasn't obtained the treasure fish, and after spending so much effort on me, it's not impossible that he might kill me in a fit of anger."

"Only by embarking on the path of martial arts can we avoid being controlled by Tang Zhengxiong and being passive in every situation!"

"Right now, catch more ordinary fish, sell them to get money, and pay the tuition to the martial arts school so you can learn martial arts!"

Li Nian secretly made a plan.

The tuition fees for martial arts schools are not low. For example, if Zhang Daniu joins a small martial arts school as an apprentice, he will have to pay one or two taels of silver per month.

If he wants to join a martial arts school, he must join one that is at a similar level to Haoran Martial Arts School. Only such a school can make Tang Zhengxiong wary of dealing with him.

In Qianhu County, there are not many martial arts schools of similar level to Haoran Martial Arts School. Their monthly tuition is more than three taels of silver, which is equivalent to more than half a year's expenses for an average family.

The saying "the poor study literature, the rich study martial arts" reflects reality!

If he catches a bluefish, he can make more money, but he doesn't know many people and doesn't know if the seller he finds is one of Tang Zhengxiong's men. If Tang Zhengxiong finds out, he will surely die!

"Let's keep looking at the intelligence."

Regaining his composure, Li Nian turned his attention to the next piece of intelligence.

[Intelligence 3: Liu Qinyun, the master of the Qinyun Martial Arts School in the south of the city, is notorious for his cruel and ruthless actions, but he is a righteous person who looks down on the Haoran Martial Arts School, which always talks about righteousness. The two schools often have conflicts.]

Some time ago, Qin Geyue, the senior disciple of Haoran Martial Arts School, was ambushed and seriously injured by Su Jingheng, the senior brother of Haoran Martial Arts School. His internal organs were damaged and his blood circulation was blocked, which intensified the conflict between the two martial arts schools.

Liu Qinyun urgently needs the treasure fish to treat Qin Geyue.

"Great information!"

Upon seeing the intelligence before him, Li Nian raised his eyebrows and beamed with joy.

He was just wondering which martial arts school to look for, and here it is!

Shen Qinyun is a righteous person and is even an enemy of Haoran Martial Arts School. Qinyun Martial Arts School is a martial arts school that can compete with Haoran Martial Arts School, making it his best choice!

Moreover, Shen Qinyun urgently needs the treasure fish to treat Qin Geyue. If he can catch the Azure Water Fish and sell it to Shen Qinyun, he can gain a favor.

If I can join the Qinyun Martial Arts School through this, I'll have a powerful backer!

Shen Qinyun is not one of Tang Zhengxiong's men, so selling the Jade Water Fish to Shen Qinyun is the most appropriate thing to do!

Even if Tang Zhengxiong finds out by then that he is already a member of the Qinyun Martial Arts School, there's not much he can do to him!

Thinking of this, Li Nian's lips curled into a beautiful smile.

Let's keep looking at the intelligence.

[Intelligence 4: Two miles north, at Shallow Water Bay, there are spotted treasure fish and blue water fish]

[Intelligence 5: Five miles east, under the flower bed in the backyard of the Haoran Martial Arts School in the city, lies a complete version of the "Haoran Fist Technique" at the Transformation Level.]

[Intelligence 6: Eight miles northwest, inside the Thousand Lakes Cliff Cave, lie the relics and inheritance of a direct disciple of the Heavenly Sea Sect...]

Of these pieces of intelligence, the fifth and sixth are the most dangerous.

Haoran Martial Arts School needs no introduction; it's Tang Zhengxiong's territory.

The Thousand Lakes Cliff Cave is located on an isolated island in the deep waters of the Thousand Lakes area. Monsters are often said to appear in the deep waters, so the fishermen only dare to work on the outer edges of the lake.

The outer areas are not necessarily safe either. His older brother, Li Zhi, lost his life when he encountered a water monster while fishing in the outer areas.

The fact that the direct disciple of the Tianhai Sect could go there shows that his strength should not be underestimated.

If one could obtain his relics and inheritance, it would be of great help to him!

"We'll go treasure hunting later when we've improved our strength."

"The Thousand Lakes Cliff Cave is extremely dangerous, and it's unlikely that many people will go there anytime soon."

"Get up and eat something first, then go and prepare the jade fish!"

Li Nian thought to herself.

Gathering her thoughts, Li Nian got out of bed.

As soon as I stepped out of the room, I saw a graceful figure lying on the table above the pit.

She has a typical pear-shaped figure.

Gudong!

Li Nian's mouth was dry, and she couldn't help but swallow hard.

"Erlang, you're awake."

"I've already heated up last night's food, come and eat."

Hearing the noise behind her, Zhao Lijuan turned around and said to Li Nian with a smile.

"Okay, sister-in-law."

Li Nian quickly looked away, awkwardly touching her nose as she spoke.

"Uncle, time to eat. Duoduo has washed the dishes for you."

Li Nian’s niece, Duoduo, came to her side with a clean bowl.

"Hey, Uncle, why is your face so red? Is your cold still not better?"

"Duoduo will touch your forehead."

"Uncle is fine. He looks radiant; something wonderful must be happening today..."
