Old Pal!

Seeing the blood spurt from this guy's mouth, and seeing his futile attempts to get up from the ground, Jiang Lin secretly marveled. He really wanted to sing him a song, "The Actor," because this was definitely practiced!

Taking a closer look, he realized he knew both of them.

The one who was "bumping porcelain" was named Fang Chaoqun, from the Sun Moon Sect.

They were business partners because Jiang Lin had caught him stealing women's undergarments in the Sun Moon Sect's women's bathhouse. Afterward, they split the profits fifty-fifty, and the used undergarments sold for quite a bit of money.

The other person was an Inner Disciple of the Dragon Gate Sect named Qin Xiao. His cultivation was at the Sea Gazing Realm, within the Middle Five Realms. He had some knowledge of medicinal theory and had a crush on a Junior Sister in his sect. In fact, that Junior Sister also had feelings for this Senior Brother.

However, one time, when the Junior Sister had a stomachache and wanted the Senior Brother to "diagnose" her, he took one look at her and said, "Drink more hot water," before continuing to practice his sword. After that, the Junior Sister never contacted Qin Xiao again.

The second month, that Junior Sister announced she had found a Dao Companion. Qin Xiao cried for a long, long time and kept finding Jiang Lin to drink with him...

Looking at the two of them, Jiang Lin's brow twitched: "Can I just say, the world is full of coincidences? I actually ran into both of them."

Returning to the scene, it wasn't just the street vendors who were stunned; even Qin Xiao, who had been walking along the road, hadn't figured out what was happening.

He was just walking along, and then this guy bumps into him, spits blood, and flies a long distance. What was going on?

"You... you... cough cough cough..." Fang Chaoqun finally managed to stand up with difficulty, his face pale as he wiped the corner of his mouth.

Just as he was about to speak, Fang Chaoqun lurched forward, puffed out his cheeks, and with a "poof," blood spurted out again, and he collapsed straight down.

"Brother! What's wrong! Brother!"

As Fang Chaoqun fell, a woman in tattered, patched-up hemp clothing rushed forward, tightly hugging her brother, tears dripping down.

"You! Why! My brother has no grudge against you, so why would you attack him like this! Do you have any humanity left! Is there no law in Black Tortoise City! Oh, brother... what about sister-in-law... what about you and sister-in-law's child? Housing prices are so expensive lately, and we haven't even paid off the loans from the bank yet, brother..."

The woman's crying echoed throughout the small alley. Many onlookers gathered, holding melon seeds to watch. Qin Xiao was still completely bewildered, even questioning the meaning of life.

"In broad daylight! Daring to commit murder on the street!"

Seeing the scene before him, Chen Jia couldn't stand it and stepped forward to seek justice for the spitting man, but Jiang Lin grabbed his wrist.

"Brother Jiang, why are you stopping me!"

Jiang Lin said helplessly: "Brother Chen, we are people of the Demonic Sect."

"So what?" Chen Jia looked at Jiang Lin with pure innocence, his "What's wrong with us being from the Demonic Sect?" adorable gaze making Jiang Lin wonder if Chen Jia had joined the wrong sect...

"Brother Chen, please rest assured, that person is unharmed, and he's one of us, here to 'bump porcelain'."

"'Bump porcelain'? What is 'bump porcelain'?"

"This... it's a bit difficult to explain."

Jiang Lin looked at Qin Xiao, who was surrounded by the crowd. Looking at his sect uniform, Jiang Lin was all too familiar with it; it was the uniform of a Dragon Gate Sect Inner Disciple.

Since the Dragon Gate Sect was present here, it meant Lin Qingwan had already arrived in Black Tortoise City. This guy might be his breakthrough.

"Anyway, leave this matter to me. Brother Chen, you take Xiao Man and stay here without moving around. I'll go buy you some oranges."

"Oranges? I don't like oranges."

Listening to Jiang Lin's nonsensical words, although Chen Jia wanted to ask for clarification, Jiang Lin's back was already moving forward. Chen Jia even felt a sense of determination and resolve in his departing figure.

The discussions on the street grew louder. Qin Xiao went to check Fang Chaoqun's injuries. The moment his hand touched Fang Chaoqun, the latter "woke up" as if in a final burst of energy.

"Bro..." the woman exclaimed in surprise.

The "porcelain bumping" man waved his hand, struggled to get up, and wiped the blood from his mouth: "Esteemed brother, I have no enmity with you, why did you strike me so hard? You've ruined my Great Dao foundation! And you even tried to kill me to silence me just now!"

Qin Xiao: "???"

"Forget it, forget it. I no longer expect to reach the Nascent Soul Realm in this life. I've long had the desire to live in seclusion. As long as I get 99 Mid-Grade Spirit Stones for my injuries, I'll let bygones be bygones. What do you say, esteemed brother? Cough... cough cough..."

As he spoke, Fang Chaoqun coughed again, spitting blood all over the ground...

"Bro..." the woman cried out again, "You won't even give us 99 Mid-Grade Spirit Stones? Is this how the so-called righteous sect, the Dragon Gate Sect, behaves?"

"You... you guys..."

The man with the sword was desperate, agitated, and angry, even wanting to rage impotently.

99 Mid-Grade Spirit Stones weren't a huge sum, and as a Dragon Gate Sect Inner Disciple, he could afford it, but he simply didn't want to pay.

Because the moment they started asking for money, he remembered a Junior Brother in the sect years ago telling him about something he called "porcelain bumping."

He didn't expect that Junior Brother to have rebelled against the Dragon Gate Sect and died under Senior Sister Lin's sword. After that day, Senior Sister never spoke another word.

"This humble woman has a pill that can cure all illnesses and heal all wounds. I hope esteemed brother will not find it too insignificant."

Just as the man with the sword's face turned red with anger, a "woman" gracefully walked over, her skirt swaying, her makeup light. Just one glance made Qin Xiao's face turn even redder.

"Miss! They are 'bumping porcelain'! I must take them to the enforcement team. You don't need to spend money, oh, 'bumping porcelain' means extorting people." Seeing the "delicate girl" walk forward, Qin Xiao quickly said.

"Enforcement team? Heh! My brother is severely injured, and I'm going to the enforcement team to seek justice!" The next moment, the woman patted Fang Chaoqun's back, and Fang Chaoqun genuinely spat out a mouthful of blood, his face truly pale.

"You! You guys! You faked the injuries!" Qin Xiao's face turned green and white, so angry he almost drew his sword.

However, the "young lady's" large hand gently pressed on Qin Xiao's back. She shook her head and continued forward, taking out a pill.

"You want to dismiss me with one pill? I'm telling you, I'd rather jump from here and starve to death than..."

"This medicine is called the Leg-Stretching Eye-Staring Pill."

Before Fang Chaoqun could finish, the woman interrupted with a smile.

"Leg-Stretching... Eye-Staring... You are..."

Looking at the delicate woman, Fang Chaoqun was incredibly surprised!

Old friend!
