Chapter 39
“It’s almost enough.”
He didn’t continue to explore as he was afraid that the Thunderbolt Dojo would send people to attack him. Hence, he returned the way he came.
Halfway through, Qin Huai suddenly heard a call for help from the front, so he hastened his footsteps.
After passing through two exits, Qin Huai saw the two of them fighting. His cultivation techniques were crude, and his Qi and blood were also weak.
“Ding! You have collected a [Thunderflash Skill Essence (White) ], [Thunderflash Skill] experience +21!”
“Ding! You have collected a [Breath Control Essence] (White), [Breath Control] experience +24!”
Qin Huai’s heart skipped a beat as he picked up the two white experience balls that had fallen to the ground. They were all apprentices.
Qin Huai came to a conclusion in his heart and quickly walked into the fire.
“Senior Brother, help me!” The man in Changshan Dojo’s long robe roared.
The apprentice was shocked and was about to run away, but Qin Huai’s fist had already landed on his face.
Bang! Bang!
With a muffled sound, the apprentice’s head was deformed, and he died.
“Thank you for saving me, Senior Brother.” Gao Leya still had a lingering fear.
He had originally received Hong San’s letter and had hurriedly taken advantage of the night to meet at a certain location in the mine. He explained to him the plan to deal with Qin Huai.
Everything was going well, but he didn’t expect to meet two apprentices from the Thunderbolt Dojo on his way back.
They had chased him for two to three miles. If it weren’t for this senior brother, he wouldn’t have been able to enjoy the benefits that Hong San had promised him.
“May I ask for Senior Brother’s name?”
In the quiet mine, the light of the lamp made it difficult for Gao Leya, who had just escaped from death, to see the face of his savior.
“Qin Huai,” Qin Huai spoke.
“Gao Leya thanks Senior Brother Qin...” Gao Leya’s voice paused for a moment before he quickly continued, “Thank you for saving me, Senior Brother.”
He suppressed the shock in his heart as he took a closer look at Qin Huai’s face.
It was him! It was him! Oh my god, how could he have been saved by Qin Huai?
“I can’t accept the title of Senior Brother Gao. I joined the sect late, so you can just call me Junior Brother Qin.” Qin Huai had some impression of Gao Leya, but he knew that he was an old apprentice.
If he didn’t break through this month, he would be kicked out of the dojo.
“Then I will be bold and call you Junior Brother Qin. Junior Brother Qin saves people in the mine all day long. I really admire your virtue.”
“It’s only right for fellow disciples to help each other, so please don’t take it to heart, Senior Brother Gao.” Qin Huai had attended many tea parties with Sun Ziyao, and he was already at the point where he could speak words of flattery and modesty whenever he opened his mouth.
Gao Leya had a guilty conscience, so he had to say a few words to praise Qin Huai. But his praise was also from the bottom of his heart.
Qin Huai’s reputation had long spread throughout the dojo as he saved people all day long. Especially today, when Qin Huai saved his life again.
The more he chatted with Qin Huai, the more he felt that this person was not bad. He was humble, powerful, and most importantly, he had saved his life.
He actually wanted to help Hong San kill him?
They left the mine. Alone, Gao Leya asked for leave and returned to the Gao mansion in the city.
Thirty years ago, the Gao family was a well-known family in Pingnan City. But now, all that was left was a dilapidated ancestral home that had not been maintained for many years, and an old father with a crippled leg.
“Tooth boy, did you meet a benefactor?” As soon as he entered the house, his crippled father rushed over with a smile. “Look, look, look, these two big boxes of silver! There’s five hundred taels in a box!”
He was dragged to a side room by his father. Two large boxes were opened, and they were filled with silver.
At the side, there was also a small box. Inside it was a box of Qi and blood soup that had been sealed.
“With this medicinal soup, my Qi and blood will definitely surge, and my cultivation will also be faster. I’ll definitely become a martial artist this month!” Gao Leya’s face was full of excitement. But in his mind, Qin Huai’s face appeared again.
He turned around and walked quickly to an empty corner.
Pa!
He gave himself a solid slap. “The world is big, but my own future is still the biggest. If I can become a martial artist, it would be worth it even if a thousand more Qin Huais were to die.”
“A good person? Aren’t the lives of good people used to exchange for money and status for others?”
Gao Leya’s thoughts were clear in an instant. He turned around and returned to his side room, then plunged into the pile of silver.
…
Hong San, Sixth Brother Qin and the others stood at the entrance of the mine with gloomy faces, watching as the corpses were carried out of the mine.
“You’re too much! This Changshan Dojo is simply too much!” A white-haired old man angrily slapped the wooden cane in his hand. “Investigate this! We must find out who did it!”
“Is it possible that it’s Fang Han and his people?” one of the disciples asked carefully.
“Impossible. The big is bullying the small, and he killed so many people. He’ll be killed by the other dojos.”
“Although many of their people died in the mine, it’s not worth the trouble.”
The few of them suddenly looked at each other. In other words, the person who did this is also a second refinement martial artist.
A second refinement martial artist who cultivated the Qi circulation technique could kill a second refinement martial artist with rumbling thunder skill. ANd so, the few of them already had an answer in their hearts.
“The first time I saw Qin Huai that day, I knew that he would become a major threat to the Thunderbolt Dojo!” Sixth Brother Qin sneered. “Now, my words have come true.”
“How many years has our Thunderbolt Dojo been the head of the eight big dojos? I’ve never suffered such a great loss before.”
“This kid must die. If he continues to fight with Hong San, the consequences will be unimaginable.”
A few senior instructors of the Thunderbolt Dojo were already filled with killing intent, because many of the disciples who died were their own disciples.
...
“Don’t worry, uncles. My plan is already in progress.” Hong San spoke at the right time.
“If nothing unexpected happens, tomorrow I will bring Qin Huai’s head to pay tribute to the spirits of my fellow junior brothers and sisters in heaven.”
“Kid, you’re quite fast,” the white-haired old man praised.
“It’s all thanks to Master’s good teaching.” Hong San was very humble and calm.
“If you bring his head tomorrow, I’ll give you a set of Qi and blood medicine from the dojo.” A voice came from afar. It was like rolling thunder, rippling the air and setting off waves.
The burly man with a full beard walked over, causing everyone to bow in greeting.
“Greetings, Master!” Even the arrogant Sixth Brother Qin had a solemn expression when he saw this person.
Bai Bashan waved his hand and said with a calm expression, “Bring Qin Huai here tomorrow and hang him on the Thunderbolt tree. We will use the blood of the strong to improve the luck of our Thunderbolt Dojo.”
“Yes, Sir!” Hong San cupped his fists.
Everyone looked in the direction of the Thunderbolt tree. Its thick purple branches were covered with heads. Some were still dripping blood, some had already dried up, and some had only a skull left, which had become a nest of flies.
These were the strong enemies and geniuses that the Thunderbolt Dojo had encountered since its development.
...
…
Qin Huai sent another letter to the Luo residence, asking if there was anything unusual about today’s trip.
He received a reply the next morning. He said that Senior Brother Fang Han had sent a few martial artists to guard them, so there was no danger. Only then did Qin Huai relax and place the letter under the mattress.
As usual, he went out to collect today’s experience.
“Ding! You have collected a [Breath Control Essence] (Green), [Breath Control] experience +94!”
“Ding! You have collected a [Breath Control Essence] (Green), [Breath Control] experience +29!”
“Ding! You have collected a [Breath Control Essence] (White), [Breath Control] experience +21!”
Qin Huai suddenly heard this. He looked at the owner of the experience ball, Gao Leya.
“What’s going on? I saved his life yesterday and even chatted with him all the way here, but his experience didn’t increase at all?” Qin Huai pondered.
This Gao Leya had clearly shown a grateful expression yesterday, and according to the usual practice, he should have gained five to ten experience points.
‘Acting one way on the surface and another behind the back? I can’t be friends with this person.’
Qin Huai shook his head. He was about to leave after collecting the experience points, but unexpectedly, Gao Leya jogged over with a big smile on his face.
“Junior Brother Qin, I have a secret to tell you.”
Qin Huai’s expression remained unchanged as he followed Gao Leya to the side.
“Yesterday, I went deep into the mine and found a secret treasure house. There were three big boxes of silver and jewelry, and I think there’s a huge chance that someone is hiding here.” As he spoke, he took out an ingot of silver from his chest.
“Junior Brother Qin, I have no way to repay you for saving my life. After thinking about it, I might as well give this treasure to you as a form of thanks for saving my life!”
“If Junior Brother Qin’s cultivation is successful in the future, it would be even better if you could guide me a little.” Gao Leya’s voice was full of emotion. It was as if all the loopholes had been blocked.
If Qin Huai couldn’t see the experience in the experience ball, he would have believed it.
What a pity. Gao Leya’s previous experience ball did not move at all, so he could only say that this person was cold and unscrupulous, and one could not have a deep friendship with him.
But now, an ungrateful person was currying his favor, which could only prove that there was a conspiracy behind it.
The mastermind behind the scenes could be easily guessed. Hong San finally made his move.
“We’ll leave after we finish our training?” Qin Huai’s expression was calm. It saved him the trouble of looking.
