Moving Into a New Courtyard, Peeking at the Roaring Thunderclap

"That's it?"

Jiang Yi was only stunned for a moment before he calmed down.

It was within expectations, yet outside of them!

Just like before!

He forcefully ascended to the first minor realm of the martial path with an unranked, perfect-level martial art, entering the ranks of martial artists.

As evening arrived!

Jiang Dafeng came looking for him, saying he had found a place to stay.

"Yi Dang..."

"Brother Dafeng, you don't need to be so formal!"

Jiang Yi smiled slightly.

Seeing Jiang Dafeng's somewhat timid demeanor, he interrupted him, "Just call me Xiao Yi like you always did!"

"Ah, okay, okay..."

"Brother Dafeng, how are you feeling today? Are you settling in well at the Fishing Guild?"

"It's going great!"

Jiang Dafeng nodded, and a look of excitement appeared on his face as if he had thought of something.

"That deacon said that once we finish our work, we can practice martial arts alongside the disciples of the Fishing Guild."

"That's right!

He also assigned a trainer to test our aptitudes.

He said Sanxi and Xiaofu have pretty good potential to become martial artists!"

"By then!

Our Jiang Family Village will have three true martial artists!

Back in the day, something like this was beyond the wildest dreams of a small village like ours!"

Jiang Dafeng couldn't help but sigh.

"If it weren't for you, Xiao Yi!

I'm afraid the three of us would still be mining slaves on that mountain, desperately digging for ore..."

"Everything will get better!"

Jiang Yi patted Jiang Dafeng's shoulder and comforted him after a moment of silence.

"Yeah, everything will get better!"

Jiang Dafeng smiled, his heart filled with anticipation.

"We're here, we're here! It's this place!"

Soon!

Jiang Yi followed Jiang Dafeng to a dilapidated tile-roofed courtyard house.

After pushing open the door and stepping inside!

The interior had clearly been tidied up, looking much neater and cleaner.

"Brother Yi!"

"Brother Yi, Brother Dafeng, you're back!"

Jiang Sanxi and Jiang Fu happily rushed over when they saw the two of them.

Jiang Dafeng explained, "This house is a bit simple, but it's spacious enough. It has three floors and four rooms.

We can just find a carpenter to renovate it later!

Plus, it's not far from the Fishing Guild Courtyard, so it's convenient for us to walk there."

Of course, there was one more crucial point that Jiang Dafeng didn't mention!

That was—it was cheap!

"Xiao Yi, there's some money left over here, I'll give it to you."

As he spoke, Jiang Dafeng reached into his bosom and took out a money pouch, handing it over!

"No need, Brother Dafeng, you keep it."

Jiang Yi smiled and waved his hand, refusing.

"I'm a stall owner at the Fishing Guild now. If I want anything, I just need to ask, and someone will naturally deliver it.

This kind of thing is neither here nor there for me!"

Immediately, he took out the small gourd-shaped porcelain bottle containing the Body Tempering Pills from his sleeve.

He stuffed it into Jiang Dafeng's hand!

"This is..."

"It says Body Tempering Pills!

It's said to be a medicine used by martial artists for cultivation, which can greatly increase the speed of cultivation.

You are not martial artists yet, so if you want to use it, just break off a small piece and take it with warm water."

"No, this won't do, absolutely not! Xiao Yi, you need it more..."

Jiang Dafeng shook his head like a rattle drum and quickly tried to stuff the porcelain bottle back into Jiang Yi's hand.

Jiang Yi pressed it down!

"Brother Dafeng, I've already tried this medicine, and it's no longer useful to me."

"How can it be useless, this..."

"Don't talk about it, just listen to me!"

Jiang Yi turned his head to look at the spread of food on the table.

There was meat, vegetables, and wine!

It looked like it had been prepared in advance!

He figured it was brought back from some restaurant, and it was still warm, with wisps of steam rising.

An enticing aroma wafted towards him.

He glanced at Jiang Sanxi and Jiang Fu beside him, who were secretly swallowing and patting their small bellies.

A faint warmth surged from his heart!

Jiang Yi couldn't help but smile, "I'm hungry, Brother Dafeng, let's eat quickly."

"Yes, yes, let's eat first, let's eat first!"

Night!

Outside the small tiled house courtyard!

At some point, a short figure appeared.

He squatted by a corner of the courtyard wall!

Acting suspiciously!

After looking around, He pushed off with his feet and easily jumped onto the wall, stretching his neck to peer into the courtyard.

When he saw the dim yellow light inside, he leaped down and quickly fled the spot.

Inside the courtyard, Jiang Yi seemed to sense something and looked up somewhere!

A cold glint flashed in his eyes!

"Brother Dafeng, Sanxi, Xiao Fu, I have some business at the post, so I'll be going ahead."

"But it's so late..."

"It's nothing!"

"...Alright then, be careful!"

"En, no need to see me off, you guys go back and rest quickly!"

Jiang Yi nodded at Jiang Dafeng and the other two, and quickly left the courtyard.

He squinted his eyes!

Vaguely, he saw a figure rapidly disappearing around a street corner.

Jiang Yi didn't hesitate at all!

He leaped up, seemingly weightless, and landed on the roof eaves.

He lowered his body slightly and, stepping on the tiles, flew out in the direction the person had gone!

As if light as a swallow, treading on flying clouds!

He moved through the air, covering two to three zhang in a single leap, and landed silently.

Jiang Yi followed the short figure!

Finally, he quietly watched him turn into a dilapidated, abandoned house.

"Not from the Evil Wolf Gang?"

"Then... who could it be?"

Jiang Yi pondered for a moment and approached the house.

Whether it's true or not!

If there was even the slightest threat to him, he wouldn't mind nipping it in the bud.

"Second Village Chief, we've found those people!"

Inside the house!

A small bonfire burned, and three figures sat around it.

The blazing firelight flickered on everyone, illuminating their fierce faces.

One of the burly men turned his head sharply upon hearing the voice.

In the dim light!

His bell-shaped eyes were like those of a ferocious beast, filled with menacing energy, and a scarlet glint flashed.

"Where are they?"

"In a dilapidated courtyard not far from here. It seems they bought the place.

They're living there now!

If we hurry, we can be there in half an hour."

"These escaped mine slaves really know how to enjoy themselves!

Hmph, later!

I'll let them taste a life worse than death."

Someone chimed in, grinning widely, his smile sinister!

"These mine slaves have really gone too far, daring to kill our brothers!

When we catch them!

We should first cut them into a thousand pieces, then twist off their heads, hehe!"

"One of the mine slaves said that among these people, there's a powerful one, the one who killed our brothers."

"What are you afraid of?"

"No matter how powerful he is, can he be stronger than our Second Village Chief!

The Second Village Chief is a Muscle-refining realm martial artist, he can crush him with one finger!"

"That's right, that's right!"

As they spoke, all three looked at the burly man!

"Let's go, lead the way!"

"You dare to kill my brother, I'll make you all accompany him in death."

The four of them stood up in unison, preparing to leave when!

A tall and agile figure dropped from above onto the gate of the courtyard.

"No need to go!"

"I'm right here!"

As soon as the words fell, a clap of thunder exploded in the sky!

"BOOM!!!"
