Ji Qing Class Lectures

Ma Wu had just come out of Ji Qing Class when he was robbed.

He found some herbs he had gathered from the new place and used them to treat his wounds. It has to be said that this rich young master knew a lot, and Li Banfeng had learned a lot from him during this period.

With his injuries slightly improved, Ma Wu bowed deeply to Li Banfeng: "Brother Li, I owe you a debt of gratitude that I don't know when I'll be able to repay. After tonight, I'll move out so that my family matters won't affect you."

Li Banfeng raised his eyebrows and said, "We haven't made enough money yet, and you're already leaving?"

Ma Wu laughed and said, "Once I've shaken off this mess, I'll come back to Brother Li to do something big."

Li Banfeng nodded. "Alright, let's go then. Let's split the money we've earned these past few days."

Ma Wu shook his head and said, "That's your money. I'm working for you."

"Stop talking nonsense. You made money in Blue Poplar Village entirely because of your skills. You won't get a penny less of what's due to you."

Ma Wu shook his head and said, "Brother Li, you don't need to share the money with me, not a single penny. I can't keep it; it will all be taken away sooner or later."

Li Banfeng frowned and said, "What is your family trying to do? Who's so ruthless as to not want you to live?"

Ma Wu sighed, "It could be my fourth brother, or it could be my eldest sister or second sister. Having lived in the Ma family for over twenty years, there are some things I just can't see through."

Li Banfeng frowned.

Having offended the Lu Family, they've dragged the He Family into this mess, and now they might offend the Ma family as well.

So what if we've offended them? We can't be burdened by debts. Let's figure out the situation first. Li Banfeng always felt that Ma Wu had confused things and that the Ma family might not have done it.

"I'll go to Ji Qing Class with you tomorrow."

Ma Wu was taken aback. "What are you going to the Ji Qing Class for?"

"Cultivation! Such a wonderful place, I'd like to go and improve my skills."

In Pro State, there are many kinds of Bai Le Men, the Great World, and countless dance halls of all sizes.

Compared to these places, Banzi is an ancient entity, even older than Pro State.

At Ji Qing Class, you won't find fashionable singers or dancers; there are only a dozen or so women who can sing folk songs to greet guests. But this troupe is very old, and it is said that it has gone through dozens of troupe leaders, yet its signboard has never fallen.

Ma Wu went to cultivate with a girl he knew. Although he had passed one level, he still had to do the basic cultivation three times a day. If he wanted to advance to the next level, he needed to do it five times a day.

Li Banfeng also found a girl.

Ji Qing Class didn't have any fancy Western-Style House or gardens, only a row of bungalows. The girl led Li Banfeng into a room, first had Li Banfeng lie on the bed, massaged Li Banfeng back and legs, and then asked Li Banfeng if he wanted to listen to music.

If you don't listen to the music, just get straight to the point; if you do listen to the music, you'll have to give more money as a tip.

Since we're already here, we should at least listen to some music. Li Banfeng asked the girl to sing one of her best pieces, and she took off her pipa and sang "The Full Moon and Blooming Flowers" first.

"The floating clouds disperse, and the bright moon shines upon us..."

Li Banfeng listened carefully to the song and felt that it was mediocre, not even in the same league as Wife's.

The girl put down her pipa, preparing to get down to business, when Li Banfeng said, "Sing another song, 'The Four Seasons Song'."

The girl frowned. "Still singing?"

Li Banfeng took out one hundred Huan Country Notes and placed them on the table.

In Ji Qing Class, this was no small sum. The girl beamed and sang another song, "The Four Seasons Song."

When the song stopped, Li Banfeng was even more dissatisfied.

"You sang this song without any effort. Try singing 'Chang Xiang Si' instead."

The girl cleared her throat and, forcing herself to sing, sang two lines: "The spring breeze Chang Xiang Si all night, I long for you, that Chang Xiang Si, the song in the pavilion is deeply sung to you, that, that..."

"Which one?!" Li Banfeng retorted angrily, "You can't even remember the lyrics, what kind of song are you singing?"

The young woman paused for a moment, then said, "Sir, have you come here really to hear music?"

"What are you doing here if you don't want to listen to music? I'll sing a line, you sing a line, and you'd better learn properly."

Two hours later, Ma Wu finished his cultivation and left the room.

The waiter came to inform them, Li Banfeng also went out.

The girl Ma Wu had his eye on was named Xiao Die. With a tender expression, she saw him off at the door, saying, "Fifth Master, will you come again tomorrow?"

"I'll come, I definitely will."

The girl Li Banfeng had his eye on was named Xiao Cui. She had a pale, greenish face. He also came out to see her off, saying, "Sir, if you come again tomorrow, you can also take a look at other girls."

Xiao Die noticed something was wrong with the voice and asked, "Cui'er, why is your voice hoarse? What kind of noise did you make?"

Xiao Cui didn't know how to answer, "It was so noisy, I didn't stop."

Ma Wu glanced back and asked Li Banfeng, "How's that girl named Xiao Cui?"

Li Banfeng shook his head and said, "It's far from good enough; it still needs careful practice."

Ma Wu asked curiously, "Brother Li mentioned training; what exactly is lacking in training?"

"My throat."

Ma Wu curious. "Is this voice the key?"

Li Banfeng was also curious. "If the voice isn't the key, then what is?"

Ma Wu nodded and said, "So Brother Li has different tastes."

The two chatted casually along the way. When they were still more than 200 meters away from the wooden house, Li Banfeng suddenly stopped and avoided the view from the window of the wooden house.

He sensed danger.

Ma Wu was taken aback, then asked, "Did something happen at home?"

Li Banfeng gestured for Ma Wu to be quiet, then put the earring to his ear and listened carefully to the sounds in the room.

There are many houses around here; if you replace them with spiritual weapons, who knows what they might hear?

But the magic weapon was different; she knew what Li Banfeng wanted to hear.

There was a panting sound.

There were sounds of conversation.

There were also footsteps.

One is at the door.

Two are on the second floor.

There's another one in the lobby.

Their level of sophistication wasn't very high, but their malice was obvious.

Of course, it wouldn't have taken any expert to deal with Ma Wu now.

These bastards didn't go to Ji Qing Class to cause trouble, nor did they ambush anyone on the way; they just went straight to their lodgings and waited there.

They've got a pretty good grasp of the market; how did they know where Ma Wu lives?

Li Banfeng said, "Brother Ma, don't come in yet. I need to go in and take care of something."

Ma Wu stopped Li Banfeng and said, "Did someone from my family come? Brother Li, we can't let this get you involved. I'll go find them."

After saying that, Ma Wu was about to rush into the house when Li Banfeng took out a pair of shoe covers. "Do you have these?"

The sole of the shoe cover is made of an iron plate.

"Without this, you can't come in."

Ma Wu understood what Li Banfeng meant; Li Banfeng wanted to use clay.

Li Banfeng put on shoe covers and whispered to Ma Wu, "Find a place to hide first."

This was Li Banfeng's requirement for Ma Wu: he had to protect himself and not be a burden to Li Banfeng.

What should be done if Ma Wu hides in a safe place but is still discovered?

There's nothing we can do about it.

To put it bluntly, even if Ma Wu is to die, he should die somewhere far away, so as not to distract Li Banfeng.

Ma Wu went straight to the noodle shop, which is the smart thing to do. A secluded place is not necessarily safe, while in a crowded place, the other party will not dare to make a move.

Li Banfeng did not approach the house rashly. He first went into Portable Abode and then threw the key near the wooden house.

The two men guarding the second floor of the wooden house were chatting idly. One of them, a man in a blue cloth jacket, said, "Don't go too far later. We can't really explain the affairs of this wealthy family."

The man in the blue cloth vest said, "Whether we go all out or not depends on whether this kid knows what's good for him. We've searched this house for ages, but there's nothing of value. If he doesn't hand over anything valuable, how are we going to explain ourselves when we get back?"

"How to explain it is our boss's business, why should we worry about it? You have to be careful that he doesn't seek revenge, after all, he is the Fifth Young Master."

"What revenge are you talking about? When I beat him up last time, I hit him pretty hard, and he didn't even dare to look me in the eye. Let me tell you, he's nothing but a dog now. If you don't get your revenge now, when will you ever get another chance...?"

Ding-a-ling~

There seems to be some commotion outside.

The man in the blue cloth vest leaned out the window and glanced out. "Did you hear that jingle just now?"

"What's that ringing?"

"I heard it all outside the window..."

"There's no one outside the window! Pull your head back in and move away from the window. Are you planning to ambush someone? What are you doing peeking around like that?"

Li Banfeng quietly left Portable Abode and, taking advantage of his Travel Cultivator skills, climbed up the wall to the roof.

This time, the man in the blue cloth vest did hear a noise, and he stuck his head out of the window again.

The man in the blue cotton jacket got angry. "What's going on? I told you not to peek around like that, don't let anyone see you!"

"There is definitely movement up there, it is definitely up there..." The man in the blue cloth vest suddenly stopped talking.

He leaned out of the window, his face tilted back, looking up at the sky with his mouth agape—the angle was perfect.

Li Banfeng descended from the rooftop, hanging upside down, and hooked a sickle directly into his mouth, then down his palate and into his brain.

The man in the blue cloth jacket looked utterly astonished and was about to draw his knife.

Tang Blade first and severed half of his neck with a single stroke.

The man in the blue cloth jacket lay on the ground, unable to speak, and pounded his hand on the ground, making three long and two short sounds. He was trying to send a message to the two people downstairs.

Li Banfeng jumped into the house, opened his Portable Abode, threw his blue cloth jacket and blue cloth vest into the house, and then waited quietly at the bedroom door.

He could have done things much cleaner.

In fact, he could have kept the blue cloth jacket completely silent.

But he deliberately made the blue-cloth vest make some noise so that the two people downstairs could hear it.

Footsteps came from the stairs. Li Banfeng opened the iron box, poured some clay into the doorway, then jumped out of the window again and climbed onto the roof.

This was his first time using clay in actual combat, and he wasn't very confident about its application and effectiveness.

Nearly a minute later, the bedroom door was pushed open, and two people stood in the doorway, cautiously observing.

The window was open, and there was blood on the windowsill and the floor. The two accomplices were missing, and the two men were very nervous.

The four of them came together with the intention of beating Ma Wu up and then robbing him of his money.

Ma Wu was just a newly arrived Joy Cultivator, a piece of cake for them. They never imagined that this trip would result in someone dying!

The two looked around for a while, but there wasn't a single person in the room.

Where did they hide?

Under the bed?

The two cautiously entered the house, each carrying a dagger, and covered for each other.

One step, two steps, the footsteps stopped abruptly on the third step.

They were stuck.

The two were shocked. A man in a purple cloth shirt shouted, "Brother, what's going on?"

Another man in a dark gray Zhongshan suit said, "Don't move, this is clay."

The man in the Zhongshan suit is the eldest brother.

Clearly, among these four people, he was the most knowledgeable and experienced.

Li Banfeng has to take him down first.

He took out the python revolver that Yu Nan had given him, released the safety, lowered his body, aimed at the man in gray, and fired six shots in quick succession.

Li Banfeng was lucky; he was hit by three out of six shots, and the man in the purple shirt fell to the ground on the spot.

Tang Blade exclaimed in admiration, "Excellent marksmanship!"

Li Banfeng was also quite surprised. He had aimed at the man in gray, but all three shots hit the man in purple.

The man in gray stared at Li Banfeng, seemingly about to unleash his technique, Li Banfeng pulled himself back onto the roof.

The man in gray was speechless; Li Banfeng simply wouldn't fight him.

What should he do? Should he not fight Li Banfeng either?

That definitely won't work.

Li Banfeng is loading bullets on the roof. What should we do if he comes back and fires again?

This man in the gray Zhongshan suit only had a second-level cultivation level; standing still and dodging bullets was something he couldn't possibly do.

Before long, Li Banfeng lowered his body again, about to fire his gun again, when the man in gray shouted, "Friend, spare my life! We are here to find the Fifth Young Master on the orders of the Ma Family's Eldest Daughter. I will tell you everything you ask me, just spare my life."

Li Banfeng asked, "Why would Ma Family's Eldest Daughter treat Ma Wu so badly?"

The man in gray said, "We don't know anything about this. We just do our jobs for money."

Upon hearing this, Li Banfeng nodded in satisfaction. "You know nothing, what use are you?"

After saying that, he was about to fire again when the man in gray hurriedly said, "Wait a minute, there's something else I haven't told you. When we came here, the Ma Family's Eldest Daughter told us to beat up the Fifth Young Master, rob him of his money, and tell him that the grudge from back then has been avenged."

Li Banfeng frowned and asked, "What grudge was settled back then?"

The man in gray said, "Friend, put down your gun first. Let's talk this over. I've heard that Young Master Ma definitely has a grudge against Miss Ma, but I don't know if it's true. Why don't you call Young Master Ma over and we can verify it with him in person?"

Li Banfeng nodded and said, "That makes sense."

He jumped into the room through the window, spread a cloth on the ground, and said to the man in gray, "Take off your shoes, step on this cloth, and walk forward. I will take you to see Young Master Ma."

"Thank you, brave warrior, thank you, brave warrior." The man in gray was extremely grateful and quickly took off his shoes, carefully stepping onto the cloth.

He was overjoyed; he had been saved from death.

His next task was to find an opportunity to kill this madman while Li Banfeng wasn't paying attention.

"Brave warrior, shall we go find the Fifth Young Master now?"

"Yes, I'll go now." Li Banfeng turned around, turned the key, and opened the Portable Abode.

The man in gray was overjoyed.

He didn't expect Li Banfeng to be so easily fooled, daring to turn his back on him.

He brandished a dagger and stabbed it toward Li Banfeng's back.

Li Banfeng suddenly dodged and kicked the gray-clad man into Portable Abode.

No wonder the man in gray was the leader; he acted with self-awareness.

Apart from a pair of leather shoes, no trace was left, saving Li Banfeng the trouble of cleaning.
