The Incidence

“Out for dumplings, home for noodles,” Wanqing had specially made hand-rolled noodles.

The aroma of the noodles was tantalizing, and they were chewy and smooth in the mouth, bursting with the rich scent of carbohydrates.

From kneading the dough to controlling the heat, each step had reached its peak; the young lady’s culinary skills were as astonishing as her medical skills!

Xiao Cha ate from a basin and finished with a slurp in one breath, patting her belly and exclaimed,

“Wonderful~ Wanqing, if I could eat at your place all the time, that would be great~”

Wanqing said with a smile, “You eat as much as a cow, I can’t afford to feed you.”

Lu Li was also shocked by Xiao Cha’s appetite!

And after finishing a big basin, her waist was still so slim, it was a mystery where all the food went.

[It seems that Xiao Cha’s monthly salary of 10 silver coins was just enough to cover her meals.

All her “extra earnings” were given to beggars; no wonder she lived so frugally.]

At this moment, Xiao Cha helped Wanqing finish the noodle soup.

After dinner, the three of them, as usual, would light incense.

When Lu Li opened the drawer, he still saw three sticks of incense and asked, “Haven’t you used them since I left?”

Wanqing said softly, “We two don’t need such extravagance.”

The two young ladies were of such a nature; Lu Li smiled and said no more, igniting the Calming Incense.

The fragrance slowly wafted through the air, and Xiao Cha, sniffing with excitement, said,

“This incense is also beneficial for Martial Arts; after smelling it, the ‘qi’ flows particularly smoothly.

I’m confident that I can achieve Refining Internal Organs within two months.”

Wanqing said joyfully, “Once you reach the Refining Internal Organs in Martial Arts, you will have the honor of a scholar.

Your Uncle would have been so comforted to know this from beyond!”

“It’s almost the anniversary of the old man’s death, let’s burn some more money for him to spend down below~”

The two young ladies chatted enthusiastically, while Lu Li listened quietly on the side.

“Refining Internal Organs” is the third realm of Martial Arts, previously said to be “above the law when killing,” and even comes with official recognition.

It appears formidable indeed.

If faced with such an enemy, would guns still be effective?

At that moment, the Calming Incense began to exert its effects, and the three of them stopped talking, concentrating on absorbing the expensive fragrance.

Lu Li and Xiao Cha both had their eyes closed, only Wanqing had her eyes open, which were extraordinarily bright, her irises like imploding universes.

~~~~~~~~~~

The next day, Lu Li got up early as usual.

Cultivation in Martial Arts and Refining God kept his body in peak condition, full of vitality every day.

Indeed, this feeling made for a very pleasant mood.

However, his stagnated cultivation level brought Lu Li’s spirits down a notch.

After a session of visualization of the Serenity Meditation Diagram, and entering a Concentration State to test, the pace of increase in his Spirit’s strength drastically slowed, suggesting he was nearing the limit of this realm.

The breakthrough in the Refining God Realm requires a mysterious and profound sudden insight.

Even though it’s only the second realm, akin to advancing to the second year of primary school, without piercing through, there’s no piercing through.

Lu Li set that aside for the moment and began practicing the newly learned White Dragon Whip Skill.

His movements were extremely precise, but each time he reached a crucial moment, his injured leg would cause a hitch, preventing the force from flowing smoothly, thus failing to achieve the best training effect.

Lu Li didn’t overthink it and practiced with determination over and over.

The advantage of this physical training was that diligence could make up for a lack of skill.

While the young man was drenched with sweat, the two young ladies came out from their room.

In the beautiful spring light, they appeared much fairer and walked with a fragrance in their steps.

Wanqing said with a charming smile, “The soap you brought is really useful.

It leaves us smelling and feeling so fresh after washing.”

Xiao Cha passed him a towel and said, “It must have been expensive, right?

It even came in a Crystal Bottle.”

Lu Li wiped his sweat and laughed, “It’s not worth much; use it as you please.”

The two women didn’t believe him, thinking he was being modest.

Just then, Xiao Cha remembered something, took out those five wristwatches, and suggested,

“If we go back to the National Martial Arts Association to exchange them, it might draw unwanted attention.

How about we act separately and pawn them at different shops?”

Lu Li found this quite agreeable, “That’s excellent; it saves us from trouble.”

“Then it’s a deal, let’s set off immediately.

I’ll just finish patrolling the streets.”

~~~~~~~~~

After finalizing their plan, the trio immediately headed out the door.

Xiao Cha changed into a formidable patrol uniform, collected tributes along the way, and eventually left the goods for the little beggars.

Tong Shao was still responsible for distributing them, and the little girl even made a face at Lu Li.

Xiao Cha laughed, “I’ve been busy helping Tong Shao settle down recently.

Once she has a residence, she’s no longer a refugee, and then we can find a good family to adopt her.”

Wanqing wholeheartedly agreed, “She’s quite sensible; I would consider keeping her by my side.”

The three of them walked and chatted, quickly arriving at a crossroads.

“You two continue straight on, and I’ll head west.

We’ll meet back here afterward.”

“Alright.”

Since Lu Li was not familiar with the area, Wanqing took the lead, holding his sleeve.

Strolling on the bustling ancient streets, the marketplace was filled with the vitality of everyday life.

Breathing in the faint scent of the young lady beside him, Lu Li’s restless spirit began to steady and calm.

Though blind, Wanqing was aware of everything, and she softly said,

“Sir, there’s no need to rush.

You’re brimming with talent; such minor setbacks are mere scenery.”

Her voice was gentle and melodious, soothing to the core every time.

Suddenly, Lu Li felt that these hardships truly didn’t amount to much.

Right now, his sleeve was held by a beautiful woman, and Lu Li wanted to hold her delicate hand…

but he could only think about it, anything else would be too abrupt.

“Sir, we have arrived.”

“Ah…

Yes, we have.”

Coming back to his senses, Lu Li realized they were now in front of a pawnshop.

Entering, he found it rather interesting; the counter was exceptionally high, requiring him to look up to communicate with the clerk.

And a pawnshop’s clerk, if nothing else, always had a pair of discerning eyes.

With just one glance, he could see the “aura” of wealth around Lu Li, and hastily came out from behind the counter to greet him.

“This sir, what an honor to meet you.

My family name is Zhang.

Might I inquire as to the nature of your visit?”

Lu Li handed over his watch and said indifferently, “300 yuan, nonredeemable pledge. frёewebnoѵēl.com

I’m in a hurry, so no dawdling.”

Zhang Chaofeng took a look and saw that the watch was worth the price.

Glancing up once again at Lu Li’s commanding presence, he knew this lord was not one to hesitate, and if pushed, would truly walk away.

Not wanting to lose business, Zhang Chaofeng bowed and said, “As you wish, sir.

I’ll go get the money for you.”

The stout and pleasant clerk went back behind the counter and surprisingly brought back a silver ingot.

Upon inspecting it, Lu Li saw inscribed on the back of the ingot—Golden Bank, Taikang Gold Ingot.

It represented the dynasty and the year.

Without showing any reaction, Lu Li handed it to Wanqing.

Wanqing held it and said softly, “An ingot of 150 taels, exactly 300 yuan; we’re square with the bill.”

This silver ingot was much easier to carry than 300 silver coins.

Lu Li nodded to Chaofeng and left the pawnshop with the young lady.

~~~~~~~~~~

Subsequently, the two leisurely returned to the meeting point like a couple out for a stroll.

Xiao Cha, with her long legs, ran fast and had been waiting for them.

Having regrouped, they headed towards the National Martial Arts Association.

But passing the street corner where Tong Shao was, the trio’s expressions changed dramatically!

They saw countless big men with ropes, tying the hands of the little beggars together in a line.

Tong Shao was among them, her small face filled with panic.

Nearby, several patrol-looking government officers coldly observed!

Xiao Cha immediately rushed forward!
