I use my future dreams to prove immortality.

Chapter 49 Protecting from Disaster

"Son, I'm so glad you're alright!"

Zhou Chengwu and Shen Wan looked at their son's miserable appearance, tears streaming down their faces. They stepped forward, but dared not touch his battered body.

"I'll go buy medicine right away." Shen Wan stumbled out of the house, leaving Zhou Chengwu to take care of their son.

"I'm fine, don't worry."

"There are still many troubles to deal with right now." Zhou Qiuyuan looked around as if he had a feeling. Heads were peeking out from the courtyard wall, and they had already seen the whole battle.

When they saw the ominous star looking at them, they were like ground squirrels being hit by a wooden hammer, and they all scurried their heads back behind the courtyard wall.

Fighting and killing are forbidden in Black Swamp City.

Although Zhou Qiuyuan acted in self-defense at home, it is an undeniable fact that he killed two people, and one of the witnesses must have notified the authorities.

The troublemaker was the landlord, whose identity made it difficult to guarantee the legitimacy of the defense, resulting in him being tattooed on the face and expelled from Blackswamp City.

Zhou Qiuyuan was not worried about this matter. As long as he could hold on until the dream ended in the future, he would be safe and sound.

Shen Wan bought a large amount of ointment and healing pills, and carefully applied the ointment. Even though her movements were gentle, Zhou Qiuyuan couldn't help but gasp.

The coolness of the ointment made him feel much better. As Zhou Qiuyuan practiced breathing exercises, his lightning spiritual power circulated throughout his skin, working in conjunction with the medicinal properties to suppress the fire poison.

After an unknown amount of time, a knock came from outside the courtyard. Two constables in black robes came in with cold faces and immediately saw the two corpses on the ground and the spirit artifacts that had not been put away.

The identity of the deceased is obvious.

Two body refiners who possess spiritual artifacts!

The constables were itching to curse, but the officials were still settling the refugees in Tianqiao City. They were temporarily sent to handle this matter as guards of the yamen, and they also encountered a formidable and ruthless figure.

The two looked at Zhou Qiuyuan with extreme caution, fearing that they might also lose their lives if they were not careful.

They stood about two zhang away, forcing themselves to remain calm, and said to Zhou Qiuyuan, "Your affair has been exposed. Come with us!"

Shen Wan stepped forward and pleaded, "These two villains broke into a private residence and robbed people of their property. My son only acted to protect himself. Please, have a clear understanding."

"I am in charge, please be lenient."

Zhou Chengwu took out the only two gold leaves left in his house and carefully handed them to the two constables.

Zhou Qiuyuan grinned, the burn scars on his face twisting like a centipede. "My master is Wei Jin, the Thunderclap Blade. Could you two grant me some time to rest and recover before I go to the yamen to be punished?"

The reputation of the Thunder Blade Wei Jin was convincing, and the two constables, having just received their bribes, did not want to clash with Zhou Qiuyuan.

The two noted down Zhou Qiuyuan's identity and sneered, "Don't even think about hiding in Black Swamp City, or your crime will be compounded."

After saying that, they left.

Zhou Qiuyuan used violence to resolve the father and son's troubles, but ended up with a body full of injuries. Many bystanders witnessed everything, and there was no room for reconciliation.

At that time, let alone cultivate in peace, once the government takes away the Thunder Listening Sword and expels him from Black Swamp City, Zhou Qiuyuan will have no chance of surviving outside the city.

Since this matter cannot be resolved properly by force, we must find another way.

……

When Zhou Qiuyuan woke up, his injuries had healed without medicine, and he was back to his peak condition.

Although it wasn't the first time he'd experienced something like this, each time it still amazed him with his future dreams.

After having breakfast, Zhou Qiuyuan went to his sect's separate courtyard as usual, but he refused to exchange the Thunder Listening Sword with Lu Chengping.

Lu Chengping smiled and lent him the Thunder Listening Sword, displaying the image of a perfect senior brother taking care of his junior brother.

In this battle with the Jiang family, Zhou Qiuyuan was unable to decisively defeat the two bullies, which made him realize his own inadequacy.

Today's training was far more arduous than yesterday's. He used the Thunder Listening Sword to accelerate the tempering of his bones, focusing the tempering efforts on his right hand fingers.

After an unknown amount of time, his right index finger was completely tempered, and he could clearly feel that his finger was much heavier than the rest of his body.

Localized tempering is possible!

Zhou Qiuyuan reflected on the shortcomings of the previous battle and originally planned to focus on strengthening his legs in order to create distance between himself and the enemy.

However, he changed his mind and decided to prioritize refining his facial flesh so that he could learn the secret technique of changing faces ahead of time.

Before the end of his day's cultivation, he swallowed four pills without hesitation, barely managing to complete the tempering of his facial flesh just before the end of his cultivation.

Zhou Qiuyuan handed the Thunder Listening Sword back to Lu Chengping and said, "Senior Brother Lu, I will always remember your kindness to me. When selling Thunder Nourishing Pills, I will definitely give you priority."

"I would like to invite you to my home for a chat to celebrate your new house."

Zhou Qiuyuan then invited Luo Tong and his master Wei Jin.

"You're quite thoughtful!" Wei Jin, knowing his little apprentice's purpose, coughed lightly and said, "The weather is alright today, so I'll shamelessly ask for a meal."

Apart from his master's wife, the four members of the Thunder Blade lineage gathered again at Zhou Qiuyuan's house.

This time it wasn't a crowded tenement, but a residence in Willow Leaf Lane.

Zhou Qiuyuan informed his parents in advance, and Zhou Chengwu purchased the exotic beast meat and also spent a lot of money to buy a jar of fine wine that was twenty years old.

Zhou Chengwu looked at the kind-faced Wei Jin and quickly bowed to him, saying, "You are my son's teacher. I am deeply grateful for your guidance."

Wei Jin stepped forward to help Zhou Chengwu up, grasped his calloused hand, and said with a smile, "Speaking of which, I should be thanking you for having such a good son. Otherwise, I would not have had the chance to have such a good disciple."

The scene was like a replica of a tenement courtyard, only in a different location.

A large table full of dishes was laid out, the aroma of which was irresistible. Although the cooking skills could not compare to those of a professional chef in a restaurant, they had a more homely flavor.

Everyone was enjoying their meal when there was a knock on the door.

Immediately, many people looked at Zhou Qiuyuan, asking, "Did you invite other guests?"

"My family recently moved here, and not many people know about it. I only invited people from my sect." Zhou Qiuyuan shook his head, feigning confusion, and his gaze swept across everyone's faces before finally landing on Lu Chengping.

That look reminded Lu Chengping: Could it be that Yun Nu was looking for him because she needed something?

People from Tianqiao City are most likely to cause trouble when they first enter the city.

Zhou Qiuyuan invited only members of his sect; a mere guard was not qualified to sit at the table, and Yun Nu did not follow him into the residence.

"I'll go take a look." Lu Chengping hurriedly walked into the front yard and opened the main gate.

"Opening the door so slowly, you're asking for a beating!"

Jiang Yuefeng entered the room and saw a young man dressed like a rich young master. He was slightly taken aback and immediately slapped him across the face.

Although he was the landlord, he entrusted the rental matter entirely to a brokerage firm and had never met Zhou Qiuyuan.

It's not surprising that Zhou Qiuyuan, who has money to hoard grain, is dressed in fine clothes. Jiang Yuefeng is here to act like an unwelcome guest, so of course he has to make a show of it.

Lu Chengping didn't expect the newcomer to attack him upon meeting him, but fortunately, he reacted quickly and narrowly avoided Jiang Yuefeng's slap.

"You dodged that fast!"

Unfortunately, this time he was facing two people. Jiang Yuanxun followed closely and slapped Lu Chengping squarely on the right cheek.

Lu Chengping was stunned by the slap. From childhood to adulthood, apart from that beast Wang Sichen, very few people had ever laid a hand on him.

Wang Sichen is out of the question; he can't afford to offend him.

How dare two unknown peasants attack me?
