Surviving in the chaos of battle, I'm grinding for proficiency.

After leaving, the shadowy figure removed the mask from his face, revealing a cold and stern face.

It was Li Chuan!

After burning the blood-stained night clothes, Li Chuan quickly returned to Songfeng Martial Arts School.

Before entering his yard, Li Chuan glanced at the fine strand of hair caught in the door latch.

It's not broken!

This proves that no one has been here.

Li Chuan was relieved and quietly closed the door.

Using the bright oil lamp in the room, Li Chuan took out the purse he had found on Qin Feng.

After pouring out the silver, Li Chuan counted it.

It weighed a full fifteen taels!

"You rich bastard, you take fifteen taels of silver with you just to go out for a drink."

He worked so hard to deliver the medicine, and he only earned twenty taels of silver.

Even a glimpse of the whole picture reveals Qin Feng's wealth.

"This certainly isn't all of Qin Feng's assets!"

When he first entered the Dark Force realm, the Wang family in the inner city gave him a monthly salary of thirty taels of silver.

His entire fortune amounted to at least a hundred taels of silver.

It's probably in his yard!

Now that the night is deep, it is the perfect time to take it.

However, this idea was immediately rejected by Li Chuan as soon as it came to mind.

"I must not put myself in danger for the sake of petty gains." Li Chuan was clear-headed and not blinded by greed.

Although his courtyard wasn't far from Qin Feng's, there was no guarantee that he wouldn't be seen by someone if he went out.

By then, even if I jumped into the Yellow River, I still wouldn't be able to clear my name!

The enraged Wang family will never let him off the hook.

Li Chuan knew very well that money was just an external thing, and that it could be earned back if it was lost.

But if you lose your life, it's truly over.

Thinking of this, Li Chuan exhaled a breath of stale air, calming himself down.

After much trouble, they finally got rid of Qin Feng, that treacherous and venomous snake.

If we let him live, he might cause trouble again.

Instead of worrying day and night, it's better to nip it in the bud.

"However, the next few days will probably not be peaceful."

The death of Qin Feng, the son-in-law of the Wang family in the inner city, will surely attract many investigations.

Fortunately, he was experienced and didn't leave any traces.

……

The next day.

The atmosphere inside the Songfeng Martial Arts School was heavy.

The vast training ground appeared crowded due to the large number of people gathered there.

In the very center, there was a corpse covered with a white cloth.

Upon closer inspection, one can see that the corpse's head has been flattened.

"Senior Brother Qin... died a terrible death. I heard he wasn't even recognizable as a human being!"

"My cousin works at the county government office. He told me that the head looked like a watermelon bursting open, with brain matter flying everywhere!"

"It seems like one of his arms was also severed, completely reduced to bone ash..."

Such discussions were commonplace in the training grounds.

This is huge news for the entire Songfeng Martial Arts School.

The martial arts school's last disciple died mysteriously while walking at night!

The disciples in the inner courtyard also sighed repeatedly.

Although Qin Feng's personality is annoying, without him, who else can represent this martial arts school?

You know, when the sky falls, the tall ones hold it up, but what happens when the tall ones fall...?

Senior Brother Tang Xiang, if he could be that position, he would have been long ago.

The only one left who was qualified was none other than Li Chuan, the martial arts scholar.

However, everyone knew Li Chuan's situation: his potential had been exhausted, and there was no possibility of him going any further.

Jiang Ting, standing in the corner, didn't look too good.

Qin Feng was the person she was heavily investing in.

In order to win over Qin Feng, they even gave him their most precious possessions!

Now that Qin Feng has died so suddenly, all her efforts have been in vain.

How could I not be angry!

Luo Zheng shook his head regretfully:

"Junior Brother Qin...what a pity."

"What a pity," Li Chuan echoed from the side, his expression somewhat sorrowful.

Luo Zheng glanced at him and sighed:

"If Junior Brother Qin could know from beyond the grave that you would also mourn for A-Chuan, he would probably be satisfied."

Li Chuan nodded vigorously, appearing to agree.

"Investigate! Investigate for me!" Liang Xingzhou's face was gloomy, and his beard and hair stood on end.

The overwhelming aura emanating from him was now being released without any concealment, causing many people to tremble with fear.

Having just spent a fortune to cure his illness, Qin Feng thought his bright future was about to begin.

How could I have imagined such a calamity?

Suddenly, two figures appeared at the doorway.

"Master Liang, you need to give me an explanation for this."

Wang Wenzhi, the head of the Wang family, one of the four major families in the inner city, said coldly.

Behind him followed a woman with tears streaming down her face.

It was Qin Feng's wife, Wang Nuanyu.

Wang Nuanyu cried sincerely, but not because she had much affection for Qin Feng.

Rather, it was Qin Feng's future that determined her position in the family.

Now that this "cash cow" is dead, her status will certainly decline significantly.

Liang Xingzhou looked somewhat tired.

"Master Wang, I will do my utmost to investigate this case and bring the murderer to justice."

"Find out? Qin Feng was attacked while his injuries were still healing, so the killer is probably very familiar with him."

Wang Wenzhi asked meaningfully, "I wonder if Master Liang has investigated the disciples in the academy?"

In the courtyard?

Upon hearing those two words, Tang Xiang instinctively looked towards Li Chuan's location.

If we were to say who in the courtyard was most likely to assassinate Qin Feng, it would be Li Chuan.

But upon closer examination, he realized that this was also impossible.

Liang Xingzhou thought the same thing as him, and after a moment of contemplation, he shook his head:

"I know the strength of my disciples very well. Even if Qin Feng's right arm is injured, it is impossible for him to take his life."

Li Chuan's eyes gleamed. The strength he had painstakingly concealed in the martial arts competition was now reaping its first reward.

"I heard that Master Liang has gained a disciple who is a 'martial arts scholar'?" Wang Wenzhi glanced at Li Chuan as if he were not paying attention.

Everyone was shocked by these words.

But it wasn't the kind of surprise that comes from discovering the truth; rather, it was the feeling that Wang Wenzhi's line of thinking was too bizarre.

Liang Xingzhou was the first to deny it:

"Impossible. The person who killed Qin Feng used leg techniques, and they were highly skilled. They were a master of leg techniques."

"Achuan has been learning boxing from me all along, how could he possibly have such a foundation?"

Wang Wenzhi nodded, realizing that his guess was too far-fetched, and stopped pressing the matter.

He simply said in a cold voice:

"Then I hope Master Liang can give me an answer, so that Qin Feng won't die with regrets."

After saying that, he left with Wang Nuanyu.

Li Chuan lowered his eyes, but his heart was filled with turmoil.

Fortunately, he was cautious by nature and never showed the existence of the "Raikage Leg".

When attacking Qin Feng, he deliberately avoided using fist techniques and only used leg techniques.

That's why they were able to do it so cleanly this time.

But normal people would never associate this with themselves.

unless.......

A cold glint flashed in Li Chuan's eyes.

Unless Wang Wenzhi knew that Qin Feng had a grudge against him.

In other words, Qin Feng's inclusion of himself in the corvée labor roster was clearly due to Wang Wenzhi's involvement!

It's impossible to make assumptions about oneself out of thin air.

The Wang family cannot be allowed to remain!

Li Chuan narrowed his eyes, hiding the murderous intent in his heart.

"A-Chuan." Liang Xingzhou waved to Li Chuan, "Don't take Wang Wenzhi's words to heart. He was just talking nonsense in a fit of anger."

"I gave him a break earlier because he had just lost his son-in-law."

"But if he still wants to be so unreasonable..." Liang Xingzhou's eyes narrowed, "I'm not old yet."
