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

Chapter 72 I'll fight you!

The next day.

The arena has already been set up in the elm grove south of the city.

Two flags were planted on either side of the arena: Qian Family Pharmacy and Luo Family Pharmacy.

At the Qian family's pharmacy, a tall bamboo shed was erected.

Under the bamboo shed, a fat man in a brown long gown was squinting.

If someone has a keen eye, they will be able to spot it at a glance.

This is Qian Guanhai, the head of the Qian family!

Qian Guanhai took a sip of the chilled plum soup and looked at the blue-robed man beside him:

"Master Li, are you confident in this battle?"

Li Dan pointed to the long robe she was wearing and smiled:

"Master Qian, in my opinion, I shouldn't come here just to make a show of it."

"Who can the Luo family find to fight me? The people ahead of me in line have all been informed that they won't come."

"Those behind me, I can easily kill with a flick of my wrist; no one dares to come near."

"That's why I didn't wear my usual tight-fitting clothes today; I changed into a robe instead."

Qian Guanhai nodded, a satisfied smile appearing on his face.

"That would be best. If the Luo family arrives early, we can go back for lunch."

"I asked Ahua to catch some wild game from the mountain. Don't rush off later."

The two chatted and laughed comfortably, completely disregarding the Luo family's upcoming arrival.

A moment later, the location of Luo's pharmacy remained deserted.

Qian Guanhai frowned:

"Did the Luo family just run away?"

As soon as he finished speaking, a group of figures slowly appeared in front of him.

Luo Weiyuan led the way, followed by Luo Zheng.

Luo Weiyuan sneered:

"No need for Brother Guanhai to worry about that. How could my Luo family be such petty people?"

He deliberately emphasized the word "petty person".

Sure enough, a cold glint flashed in Qian Guanhai's eyes after hearing this:

"Brother Weiyuan, your tongue is as sharp as ever. I wonder if your martial arts skills are as sharp as they are?"

Luo Weiyuan snorted coldly and did not reply.

"Brother Luo Zheng, where is Brother Li Chuan from your martial arts school?" Li Danyi suddenly asked. "It's so hard to find him! Every time we say we want to 'spar,' he just disappears!"

Li Dan slowly stood up, seemingly casually saying:

"I heard he's a retainer of your Luo family. Why didn't you come to help him? Could it be that you've misjudged him and raised a heartless man?"

Luo Zheng knew this was a deliberate attempt to provoke him, so he didn't reply.

Li Danyi sneered:

"Looks like Brother Li Chuan's kung fu is only good for beating up women!"

The Luo family members were all angered by Li Danyi's provocation.

But circumstances forced him to remain silent.

Qian Guanhai then produced a contract and said with a smile:

"Brother Weiyuan, I wonder if you've found anyone to help you? Otherwise, with your son's strength, I'm afraid he'll lose both his men and his position!"

Luo Weiyuan's face was grim as he pressed down on the furious Luo Zheng:

"Don't act impulsively. You should sign this contract."

If you lose the land but the people, you lose both the land and the people.

If people are saved but land is lost, both people and land will be preserved.

Luo Zheng looked at the prominent characters on the contract.

"The Luo family is willing to withdraw from Anning County and never return."

For a moment, his hand holding the pen trembled slightly.

Luo Weiyuan sighed inwardly.

Accepting the reality that you cannot change is the first step to growing up.

……

Songfeng Martial Arts School.

"Oh no! Senior Brother Luo is leaving the martial arts school and moving his whole family away from Anning County!"

"What's going on?" Li Chuan was teaching Li Qing a fighting move when he suddenly heard this news.

Upon seeing Li Chuan, the disciple hurriedly said:

"The Qian family is determined to fight the Luo family to the death, so they've enlisted the help of Li Dan, ranked fourteenth in the Juying Society. No one in the Luo family can match him, so they have no choice but to abandon their business in Anning County!"

Upon hearing this, everyone sighed in dismay.

Luo Zhengping often helps ordinary disciples at the martial arts school and is well-liked by everyone.

Hearing such news for the first time, one can't help but feel saddened.

"A deathmatch, does that mean the Luo family can stay if someone can kill Li Dan?"

Li Chuan realized the crux of the problem.

The disciple was stunned:

"Logically, that's how it should be, but..."

Killing Li Danyi is easier said than done.

Li Chuan slapped his thigh.

Luo Zheng really doesn't treat him like a brother.

All you need to do is kill Li Danyi to keep him here.

Such a small favor, and you didn't even ask him for help?!

Where is Luo Zheng?

"The elm grove south of the city..."

Upon hearing the news, Li Chuan immediately rushed out of the martial arts gym.

I hope I can still make it!

The disciples were somewhat dumbfounded:

"Senior Brother Li, you're not going to go and help out, are you?!"

……

Elm forest.

Before signing, Luo couldn't help but look back.

I'd like to wait and see which friend will come to see me off.

Luo Weiyuan sneered:

"Stop looking. Whoever comes here will offend the Qian family at this critical juncture."

"I told you long ago, all the friends you make are only after your money; not one of them is sincere!"

Luo Zheng nodded.

Could it be that he makes many friends, treats people sincerely, and always helps others when needed?

Was I wrong...?

Not far away, Li Danyi looked at Luo Zheng, who was dawdling, and said with displeasure:

"Brother Luo Zheng, it's just a matter of signing and pressing your fingerprint, why is it taking so long?"

"If you disagree, then let's have a fight."

"However, which of you can defeat me?"

Upon hearing this, the Luo family members were all angry but dared not speak out.

"I'll play with you."

A figure dressed in black pushed aside the dense bushes and emerged.

"A-Chuan?!" Luo Zheng exclaimed in surprise upon seeing the familiar figure.

Luo Weiyuan's pupils contracted, not expecting that someone would actually dare to risk offending the Qian family.

Li Danyi grinned:

"Li Zhenchuan, I thought you had disappeared."

"You want to fight me? That would be perfect; I'll settle Junior Sister Wu's score while I'm at it!"

Li Chuan was about to leave when Luo Zheng stopped him.

Luo Zheng gave Li Chuan a hug and whispered:

"Achuan, it's enough that you came. Don't be impulsive. You're no match for Li Danyi."

"He just defeated Ye Ping and ranked fourteenth in the Gathering of Heroes; his strength is far beyond that of the likes of Wu Yanshu!"

Li Chuan gently brushed Luo Zheng aside and calmly smiled:

"Brother Luo, don't worry, I never do anything I'm not sure I can handle."

He wasn't lying, but he had some doubts.

I'm only 99% sure, but I don't know if that's enough?

"A martial arts scholar who dares not attend the Gathering of Heroes dares to challenge Senior Brother Li?"

"Even Ye Ping, who ranked fourteenth in the martial arts exam, was defeated by Senior Brother Li. Can he really do it?"

"Shut up! Isn't it a great thing to see Senior Brother Li avenge Senior Sister Wu with our own eyes? You won't be satisfied until you scare her away!"

Qian Guanhai, however, was somewhat worried.

As a businessman, what he fears most is uncertainty.

Although Li Chuan seemed to have no chance of winning.

But the fact that he dared to come here already says a lot.

Qian Guanhai asked with doubt:

"Dan Yi, would you like to change your clothes? This robe might not be very comfortable for you."

Li Dan shook her head:

"No need. Just keep this plum soup chilled for me. I'll be back to drink it soon."

Having said that, he pressed his fingerprint on the life-and-death contract:

"Brother Li, sign this contract of life and death."

Li Chuan took the life-and-death contract, glanced at it, and then casually tossed it away.

"What do you mean by this?"
