Ever since that guy came to Qingyang Town, Li Xiaoguang had noticed that something was wrong with him.

They said they were sent by order of the Prince of Zhennan to teach martial arts.

That's utter nonsense.

He knew exactly what kind of place Qingyang Town was.

Even the tax officials are too lazy to come.

Not to mention the King of Zhennan, the ruler of Nanzhou, such a powerful figure would never have even heard of such a place.

Moreover, Ye Qiu basically did nothing but eat and drink for free in the shop every day under the guise of the Zhennan Prince's Mansion.

Not only that, if any family hunted wild game, he would "requisition" half of it.

As for traditional martial arts, they don't even exist.

The townspeople helped him build a martial arts hall and also forged weapons for his training.

As a result, that lazy man actually said that it was not advisable to practice martial arts in winter, and that they should wait until spring.

......

At that moment, in a courtyard somewhere in the town, a young man was rummaging through something.

The man was none other than the martial arts instructor from the martial arts hall that the child had mentioned.

To be more precise, Ye Qiu was not a retainer from the Zhennan Prince's Mansion.

At the beginning of the Guangnan County Martial Arts Alliance, he was just an ordinary rogue cultivator.

Even if he wanted to join a powerful family like the Lin family in Guangnan County, others wouldn't even consider him.

Despite this, he still managed to climb to the second rank of Qi Cultivation Realm by relying on the family wealth left by his ancestors.

Just when he felt hopeless, the Guangnan County Martial Arts Alliance was established.

Just then, Li Fan wiped out the major forces in Guangnan County, creating vacancies for mid-to-high-level martial artists, which gave him the opportunity to join the Martial Alliance.

The stable supply of pills from the Martial Arts Alliance brought him considerable benefits.

But once he got used to it, he fell into anxiety again.

He wanted to stand out and climb the ranks.

Just at this time, the Prince of Zhennan began to deploy his troops throughout the entire prefecture.

The proliferation of martial arts schools presented him with an opportunity.

So he decisively joined the Guangnan County Martial Arts Hall, and as it turned out, this choice was correct.

Even though he was only a second-grade martial artist, he could obtain twice as many cultivation resources as the Martial Alliance every month.

All he needed to do was help the Prince's Palace to supervise the martial arts students in the martial arts academy.

After a month of this, Ye Qiu had another idea.

Although the martial arts hall has resources for cultivation, it is not enough for him to soar to great heights.

In order to obtain more resources, he volunteered to open a martial arts school in Qingyang Town.

Of course, there are downsides.

This godforsaken place has no entertainment activities other than hunting in the mountains.

Of course, there are also some advantages.

That was the resource that should have been used to cultivate the town's martial arts talents, but he swallowed it all up.

As for whether he could train martial artists, he didn't care at all.

Or perhaps he had already thought of how to phrase it.

For example, promising martial arts talents that were originally trained disappeared after entering the mountains.

After all, eight months ago, a horrific case of monsters killing people occurred in Qingyang Mountain.

If it happened again now, I doubt anyone would suspect anything.

However, when he arrived, he received news that he could hardly believe.

In Qingyang Town, there once lived a stranger who had lived there for three years.

As luck would have it, that stranger's name was also Li Fan.

Originally, Ye Qiu didn't take it seriously.

But when he saw the tiger skin that hadn't sold in the grocery store for two and a half years, everything changed in his eyes.

This tiger skin was obtained by "Li Fan" two and a half years ago after killing a tiger.

It should be noted that even as a second-rank martial artist, Ye Qiu was not confident that he could kill the tiger.

As Ye Qiu continued to investigate, he learned that more than half a year ago, the hunter named "Li Fan" had hunted down another wolf king.

The wolf king's pelt was not only intact, but it was even larger than the tiger pelt.

This is a bit scary!

It's important to know that, unlike tigers which live alone, wolves are social animals.

A wolf alpha of this size must have at least thirty wolves in its pack.

To be able to kill the wolf king in one blow amidst a pack of wolves requires considerable strength.

After that, Ye Qiu became even more concerned about Li Fan's affairs.

Ultimately, each detail was pieced together.

He finally realized that this Li Fan was the Li Fan he had been looking for.

Li Fan's massacre of the Lin family was not because of the Martial Arts Alliance at all; the real reason was the massacre of the hunters in the town eight months ago.

These foolish residents of Qingyang Town had absolutely no idea what was going on!

After figuring all this out, Ye Qiu couldn't sit still any longer.

Li Fan must have a great secret to rise from an ordinary hunter to a world-renowned figure.

There might be treasures in the places he lived.

Thus, Ye Qiu went to the hospital to visit him.

As a result, it was all for naught.

Just as Ye Qiu was about to dig three feet into the ground, it became noisy outside the courtyard.

"Ye Laizi, get out here!"

Upon hearing this name, Ye Qiu was enraged.

Although he was nobody in the county town, he was invincible here.

A second-rank martial artist possesses the strength of a thousand catties; how could these rustic villagers possibly provoke him?

......

Ye Qiu angrily opened the courtyard gate, where nearly thirty men, women, and children were standing.

The man who spoke was shirtless, holding an iron hammer, and his muscles were bulging.

The man was none other than Liu Dachui.

He was initially quite welcoming of Ye Qiu's arrival.

For this reason, he specially crafted many blunt iron knives.

The purpose was to allow the children in the small town to practice with real weapons.

Who would have thought that Ye Qiu would turn out to be this kind of person?

Of course, if that were all, it would be fine.

But this young man actually dared to steal things from Fan Ge'er's house, which he could not accept.

Not only him, but other residents of Qingyang Town also could not accept it.

After all, Li Fan had lived here for three years and had given away the game he hunted to many people.

Furthermore, his act of supporting Chen Jiugui on his own truly earned the admiration of the townspeople.

Even though Li Fan had been missing for eight months, his yard was still being cleaned.

Seeing so many people surrounding him, Ye Qiu, who was originally furious, was dumbfounded.

He wasn't afraid of the townspeople who carried carrying poles, sickles, and hammers.

But what about those hunters around with hardwood bows?

This thing can really kill you!

"Big Hammer Bro, Little Light Bro, Aunt Wang, what are you doing!"

Ye Qiu quickly put on a smiling face.

A true man is born between heaven and earth, and from that time on, he was able to bend and stretch, and he could endure some grievances.

"Hey, you surnamed Ye, what are you doing in Fan Ge'er's courtyard?"

Liu Dachui questioned sharply.

"Big Hammer Bro, I just wanted to find myself a place to stay."

Since this place had been empty for more than half a year, I decided to take a look.

If it's suitable, I'll buy this house!

Ye Qiu explained.

“Master Ye, my Li family shop has been feeding and serving you well, but to this day you haven’t given me a single tael of silver.”

Do you really believe that I'm suddenly going to buy the house now?

I think you're just planning to steal, you bastard!

Li Xiaoguang glared angrily at Ye Qiu.

"You scoundrel, I was wondering why you keep coming to my shop to ask about Brother Fan."

"Tell me honestly, are you after the three taels of silver that Fan-ge'er is making from selling wolf pelts!"

Just then, Wang Laoliu, the owner of the grocery store, also stood up and echoed his sentiments.

After him, the townspeople rose up and attacked him.

After all, Ye Qiu had inquired quite a bit about Li Fan these past few days.
