No one spoke yet, but many of the elderly women had already begun wiping away tears.

"Yes." Chen Yuanbao raised his voice a little. "I, Chen Yuanbao, am a very easy-going person. I will help anyone who is in trouble."

"but."

He paused.

"Last night, these five beasts broke into our yard, intending to harm my sister-in-law."

"My sister-in-law was holding two children in her arms."

"The youngest is only about three years old."

A loud "boom" erupted from below.

"What?!"

"Those five bastards!"

"This is not something a human being would do!"

"He deserves to be hit! He deserves to be hit!"

Upon hearing this, Liu Erlaizi's mother stopped crying and looked up at her son in a daze.

Wang Sanpao's wife was also startled. She got up from the ground, walked up to Wang Sanpao, and slapped him across the face.

"Are you even human?!"

Sun Mazi's father's face turned pale with anger, and he trembled as he said:

"This...this...this..."

Chen Yuanbao looked around at the villagers and said, word by word:

"Let me make this clear from the start."

"From now on, if anyone dares to lay a finger on a hair on Chen Yuanbao's head, these five beasts will suffer the same fate."

"My sister-in-law, my family, my friends..."

"If anyone dares to touch it."

"I, Chen Yuanbao, will make him wish he were dead."

After he finished speaking, the entire room fell silent.

The wind blew through the old locust tree, and the leaves made a rustling sound.

The five thugs tied to the tree no longer dared to cry, and each of them lowered their heads.

The villagers looked at each other and saw the same thing in each other's eyes.

fear.

Previously, they respected Chen Yuanbao. They regarded him as a "divine master," believing he was capable of curing illnesses and understanding feng shui.

But from today onwards, there is one more thing in the "Respect" container.

afraid.

That kind of fear that comes from the very bones.

After looking around, Chen Yuanbao's gaze settled on the branches of the crooked pine tree at the village entrance.

He could feel a pair of eyes watching him.

Once his spiritual eyes were activated, he was able to "see".

Behind the tree was a thin man dressed in black, holding a pair of binoculars and looking this way.

They were spies planted by Wei Zhaoheng.

A cold smile played on Chen Yuanbao's lips.

He turned his head, his gaze passing over the crowd, and after traversing a distance of more than a hundred meters, met the eyes of the informant.

The eyeliner was clearly visible through the binoculars...

Chen Yuanbao's eyes seemed to pierce through the lenses of a telescope, staring straight at him.

His eyes were cold, terrifying, and carried an indescribable murderous intent.

Eyeliner shuddered, and the binoculars fell to the ground with a thud.

He didn't have time to pick it up; he rolled down from behind the tree and ran towards the town without looking back.

My pants got soaked from running.

After Chen Yuanbao withdrew his gaze, he revealed a simple and honest smile.

"Fellow villagers, after you've enjoyed the festivities, go back to your work."

"As for those five beasts..."

He glanced at the five people sideways:

"Let them stay here for a day. Then let them go in the evening and have their parents pick them up."

"If anyone dares to cause trouble again..."

Chen Yuanbao patted the dust off his hands.

"I won't stand on ceremony."

……

News of what happened at the village entrance quickly reached Li Fugui's house.

Upon hearing this, Li Fugui's face turned extremely ugly.

Although he has now sided with Chen Yuanbao, Wei Zhaoheng still lives at his house. This old devil treats his house as a command center, giving orders all day long, and Li Fugui dares not disobey.

Last night, Wei Zhaoheng praised him for being "very capable," but this happened this morning, leaving Li Fugui feeling very uneasy.

Just then, Wei Zhaoheng came out from the inner room.

The old man was wearing a dark gray robe today, his complexion was very bad, and he was walking unsteadily.

Last night's search for the Dragon Nail was unsuccessful; instead, Chen Yuanbao pulled the nail out, and Wei Zhaoheng's cultivation was reduced by about 30%, and he is currently recovering.

"Village Chief Li," Wei Zhaoheng said, his voice tinged with coldness.

Li Fugui immediately bowed and scraped, saying, "Master Wei... what are your orders?"

"Have my spies returned yet?"

"I'm...I'm back. I just got back."

Where are they?

"In...in the side room. My pants...are wet, I'm changing now."

Wei Zhaoheng's face darkened further.

Before he could finish speaking, the informant came out of the side room, his face still pale. He knelt down when he saw Wei Zhaoheng.

"Master Wei... that Chen Yuanbao..."

"explain!"

"He...he glanced at me from about a hundred meters away."

The eyeliner swallowed hard.

"Just... just that one glance... my heart... still feels so cold..."

Wei Zhaohong narrowed his eyes; he hadn't spoken in a long time.

After a while, he waved his hand and said, "Go down."

The eyeliner tumbled and rolled off.

Only Wei Zhaoheng and Li Fugui were in the room.

Li Fugui didn't dare to breathe loudly.

After walking a few steps in the room, Wei Zhaoheng slowly sat down, picked up his teacup, and took a sip of water.

"This kid...is interesting."

"Master Wei..."

"Village Chief Li," Wei Zhaoheng interrupted him, "go and call Jiang Wenyuan over."

"Yes, yes, yes."

Li Fugui ran out excitedly.

Wei Zhaoheng was alone in his room, his eyes deep and thoughtful.

The sunlight outside the window is plentiful.

After finishing his tea, he slowly said:

"If the hard approach doesn't work, then let's try the soft approach."

After the commotion at the village entrance subsided, Chen Yuanbao went home.

Widow Liu was busy at the stove, her hair was a little messy, and her eyes were still red.

She was terrified when those five thugs broke in last night. If it weren't for the jade pendant constantly giving her a feeling of warmth, making her feel that Chen Yuanbao was by her side, she might have fainted on the spot.

When Chen Yuanbao entered the house, he immediately saw his sister-in-law chopping vegetables, her hands trembling.

"Sister-in-law," Chen Yuanbao walked over and took the kitchen knife from her hand, saying, "Go inside and rest for a while, I'll cook."

"Huh?" Widow Liu was taken aback. "Yuanbao, you can cook?"

Chen Yuanbao smiled and said, "Why not give it a try?"

"No...no, how can you cook? You rest for a while, I'll do it..." Widow Liu reached for the kitchen knife.

Chen Yuanbao dodged backward, hiding the kitchen knife behind his back: "Sister-in-law, listen to me. You take a rest today, I'll cook something nice for you and the kids."

Widow Liu couldn't persuade him otherwise, so she could only watch.

Chen Yuanbao drew some spiritual spring water from the dry well in the courtyard and put it in a small jar.

Since he broke through to the first level of Qi Refining, the taste of the spiritual spring water has become increasingly stronger. A small jar of spiritual spring water mixed with a large pot of ordinary water has a much better effect than before.
