My Two-sided Cultivation: Starting From Collecting Experiences

45 Hong San is Already on the Way with Qin Huai’s Head

“Ah?”

The sudden news shocked Qi Yangbing. On the side, Li Bowu had also forgotten the pain and anger that Qin Huai had brought to him.

“Who are the ones who died?”

“The twins of the Wang family, the precious daughter of the manager of Ji Feng restaurant… There’s so many that I can’t quite remember.” The junior brother frowned and thought hard. “Anyway, there are two second refinement, eight first refinement, and around twenty apprentices…”

“Aren’t there around forty people there?”

“Is that so? In any case, many people died, so those cultivators must be the right ones. I didn’t have time to count the rest, so I rushed back to report.”

“But I’ll leave Senior Brother Li behind to watch. If there’s any follow-up news, Senior Brother Li will know.”

Everyone looked at each other. It must be known that the average number of fighters in the eight major dojos was only slightly more than a hundred. Who could bear the death of ten martial artists in one breath?

Qi Yangbing was deep in thought. Over twenty people died in the White Flow Mountain. This was definitely not something that the small bandit groups could do.

It seemed only his own comrades were left. He looked up and swept his gaze over the crowd. Who could have killed them? Could it be a third refinement martial artist or Senior Brother Fang Han? This was simply breaking the rules.

“Junior Brother Qin! Qin Huai?”

Some suddenly stopped at the door and waved. It was Qin Huai.

“Senior Brother Qi! Greetings, senior brothers!” When Qin Huai saw Qi Yangbing, he took the initiative to walk over.

When he passed by, he glanced at Li Bowu, who was full of resentment, and did not say anything.

“Junior Brother Qin, did you just come back from the mine?” Qi Yangbing’s face was covered in dirt. There was still some red and white powder on his head and face. Oh, it should be a five-colored face.

“Yes, I picked some good ores and sent them to Master Song. I even ran into the people from the Thunderbolt Dojo and ended up in a bad state,” Qin Huai explained casually.

“Tsk, tsk. As expected of Master’s direct disciple. He’s so diligent!” Li Bowu’s voice sounded faint, and anyone could hear the dissatisfaction in his words.

Qi Yangbing laughed and changed the topic. “Junior Brother, have you heard that around forty people from the Thunderbolt Dojo died in the mine? Now, their families are all in the city, planning to cause trouble. There are ten of them.”

“I heard a few of my senior and junior brothers mention it on the way here.” Qin Huai told the truth. He had never heard of this.

But after hearing Qi Yangbing’s description… These people should be the ones who died at his hands. They had all become his nutrients.

“According to my guess, these people should be killed by one of the instructors of our dojo…” Senior Brother Hao made a bold guess.

“It’s most likely that it’s Instructor Li. His son’s legs were broken by that grandson Hong San, so it’s reasonable for him to take revenge.”

“That’s impossible. Instructor Li has been taking care of Senior Brother Li at home. He hasn’t even stepped out of the courtyard,” someone immediately clarified.

Everyone started to look at each other and guess who had such ‘great achievements.’

“No matter what, only a person with such courage is worthy of being Master’s direct disciple.” Li Bowu suddenly began to point the spearhead. ” I, Li Bowu, have been restrained in the past few years. Although I barely have some achievements in saving the dying, helping the injured, and teaching my junior brothers, I didn’t kill many grandsons of the Thunderbolt Dojo. I am indeed ashamed.

“If this person becomes Master’s direct disciple, I’ll be convinced. But if we don’t have this achievement, we won’t be able to make our Changshan Dojo’s name and reputation! Then I, Li Bowu, will be the first to disagree!” Li Bowu pointed out. Or rather, he was about to point at Qin Huai’s nose and scold him.

…

Pingnan City

Gu He was standing in front of the Thunderbolt Dojo’s entrance in the city, in front of the dojo’s iron shop.

This was the biggest shop of the Thunderbolt Dojo in Pingnan City. It was also the place where many people came to pay for the examination.

But now, it had become a place for the families of the dead to cause trouble.

Gu He took the initiative to take on the task of calming down and mediating the situation. In front of him was the family of the deceased in the mine. Many of them were ladies in gold and silver, looking elegant and graceful.

The more elegant ones cried like raindrops on a pear blossom, while the more boorish ones pointed at the sign of the Thunderbolt Dojo and cursed.

“You are the number one martial arts school and the head of the eight major martial arts centers. How do you protect your disciples?”

“You said that the life and death of the people in the dojo are common, but this is forty people! They’re all gone in one night!”

“And my son has been dead for two days, and you didn’t even inform me!”

“That’s right, that’s right!”

“You still want to hide it? If we hadn’t gone to visit our relatives and found out that our son hadn’t returned for a long time, how long were you planning to hide it?!”

Gu He looked at the crowd in front of him and coughed lightly. He circulated his qi and blood to make his voice loud and clear.

“Everyone, the path of martial arts is an extremely risky thing to do. Life and death are common. But we, the Thunderbolt Dojo, will not mistreat or treat those who die for the martial arts school half-heartedly. The compensation for the apprentices is five hundred taels. If the family has children, they can test their talent in the dojo for free. If they fail, they can find a job in the dojo.”

As soon as he said this, the women’s cries in front of him instantly decreased by half. There were still some exquisitely dressed women who managed to maintain their dignity. They were all people who didn’t lack money and jobs, and their eyes were filled with fear and anger.

Gu He continued, “A first-tier martial artist will be compensated with a thousand taels, and a second-tier martial artist will be compensated with two thousand taels. If your family has a business to take care of, the dojo can provide protection. One year’s protection fee will be waived, and the protection fee will be reduced to 70% for three years.”

This time, the women in front of him stopped crying. They also knew the risks of practicing martial arts, not to mention that in today’s world, there was no such thing as an undead.

The poor would die, the rich would die, and so would the martial artists. Moreover, the dead could not be resurrected.

It was impossible for them to overturn the Thunderbolt Dojo. This was the best way to deal with it.

“Everyone, the dead cannot be brought back to life.” Seeing this, Gu He’s face revealed a satisfied and even proud smile. It was indeed tricky to kill so many people at once.

But fortunately, the head had already thought of a countermeasure. It was nothing more than bleeding a little and using benefits to fill the gap.

“Then… Who killed them? You guys should at least tell us clearly and avenge our child, right?” A woman took the lead.

“Indeed! We can’t just let things go like this, right?”

“That’s right. So many people have died. Isn’t this a slap to the face of your dojo?”

The women were not easy to deal with, and they all shouted.

“Naturally! This is only natural! We, the Thunderbolt Dojo, will definitely take revenge! And it’s already being reported!” Gu He’s voice became even louder. “According to our intelligence, the person who killed your beloved sons and daughters is Qin Huai from the Changshan Dojo! That kid is ruthless and bloodthirsty, and he’s long gone astray while practicing martial arts.

“Furthermore, that person has cultivated three white dragons in the second refinement realm, which is a rare sight. His strength is not something that ordinary martial artists can compare to. But…”

The smile on Gu He’s face grew wider. “Hong San of the Thunderbolt Dojo, who is also known as Big and Small Hong like Reihom, has personally entered the mine. We must kill the evil Qin Huai and avenge our fellow disciples!”

“If nothing unexpected happens, Hong San should be on his way here with Qin Huai’s head in his hand.” Gu He counted with his fingers, his face full of confidence.
