Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations
“I planned to bring your brother-in-law and co together, but over the past few days, his back injury has relapsed, making it hard for him to move.”
Xu Lian sounded a little downhearted when talking about Tao Yunchuan.
“Then you should take care of him at ho…”
There was a hint of disappointnt in Xu Ning’s tone.
Xu Lian explained, “I planned to take care of him at ho, but your brother-in-law said that the weather is getting warr, and you haven’t taken your spring and sumr clothes with you, so I ca here to send you so clothes and to bring you so food. The stuff I brought for you is at our lodge.”
“And Tao Tao always said that she misses you recently… So he told to co visit you.”
Xu Ning felt uncomfortable after hearing this.
“I wonder if there’s a way to treat his injury…”
.
A thought ca to Xu Ning’s mind.
Back in the day, Tao Yunchuan was injured in an accident. He suffered problems with his limbs, and there were also hidden injuries in other parts of his body.
During certain ti periods, Tao Yunchuan’s old injuries would manifest and cause body aches.
Now that Xu Ning had beco an official lieutenant, he felt that he had more connections and resources.
Xu Ning decided to ask Qu Dayou if there were any spirit dicine or dan dicine that could treat his brother-in-law’s old injuries.
“Master, do you need to find a place for them to stay?”
Feng Sigua quickly opened his mouth to break the silence.
“No need, they can just live with . I have an empty room and a spare bed.”
Afterwards, Xu Ning looked at Guo Ye. “Do you want to stay with us?”
Guo Ye shook his head. “I have to help my uncle… Just let Sister Lian and Tao Tao stay with you. And when I leave, I’ll bring them along.”
“Okay…”
If Tao Yunchuan ca, Xu Ning would have liked for the three of them to stay for a long ti.
But Tao Yunchuan was alone at ho, and Xu Ning was worried about him.
“Right, Guo Ye.”
Xu Ning said, “When Uncle Gang invites his shopkeeper friends to dinner, rember to call .”
When Guo Ye heard this, his eyes lit up, “Sure!”
Xu Ning was now a Lieutenant of the Black Armored Guards. If Tao Yungang brought him to dinner, other businessn would definitely look at Tao Yungang in a different light.
This would make it easier for him to talk business.
Tao Yungang had helped Xu Ning a lot before, so Xu Ning wanted to repay the favor.
…
Soon afterwards, they parted ways.
Xu Ning took Xu Lian and Tao Tao to the vegetable market and bought so fresh vegetables before returning to Xu Ning’s residence.
Although Guo Ye didn’t stay at Xu Ning’s house, he and Tao Qingping ate a delicious ho-cooked dinner with them together.
Xu Ning and Tao Qingping hadn’t eaten a ho-cooked al in a long ti, so they ate very comfortably.
Only Tao Tao was the unhappy one. Before coming to town, Guo Ye had promised to take her to a restaurant for a big al.
However, Tao Tao’s disappointnt disappeared the next day, as Xu Ning used up his vacation days to accompany Tao Tao and Xu Lian to visit around Kangyun County.
Xu Ning bought Tao Tao a lot of fun things and took her to eat at so fancy restaurants.
Xu Lian complained about Xu Ning’s reckless spending.
But after Xu Lian heard how much Xu Ning was making, she stopped complaining.
Soon, a few days had gone by.
Tao Yungang’s carriage was about to make the trip back ho.
Although Xu Ning was sowhat reluctant, he still personally escorted them out of the city.
“Sis, take this money.”
Xu Ning stuffed a 100-tael note into Xu Lian’s hands.
He has been in the Black Armored Guard for three months, and he had received a lot of taels during this ti. However, most of his money was used to purchase resources in order to exchange for energy points.
This hundred taels of silver was from Qu Dayou.
Xu Lian wanted to decline, but she eventually accepted it.
“Xu Ning, this is for you.”
Guo Ye and Tao Yungang also ca over and gave Xu Ning a wooden box.
Xu Ning knew what was inside without opening it.
It was definitely spirit dicine.
“Uncle Gang, Guo Ye, I’ve already received so much help from you guys, so there’s no need for this.”
Xu Ning refused firmly.
Now that he received three Qi Dans every month, there was no need for ordinary resources.
“Xu Ning, you have helped a lot the other day. I would feel better if you accepted this.”
Tao Yungang persuaded.
Two days ago, when Tao Yungang was eating with the shopkeepers in the county city, Xu Ning was also there.
After knowing Xu Ning’s status, the shopkeepers’ attitudes towards Tao Yungang changed drastically.
They beca quite generous, no longer negotiated needlessly and even introduced new supply channels to Tao Yungang the next day.
This was the happiest Tao Yungang had ever been while running his dicinal material business.
And he knew that this was all due to Xu Ning’s help.
Although he had always allowed Guo Ye to help Xu Ning, he never thought that one day Xu Ning would repay the favor.
But in the end, he was rewarded handsoly due to Xu Ning’s reputation.
“Uncle Gang, I don’t feel comfortable accepting this.”
Xu Ning said.
In the end, the two of them did not force Xu Ning and took back the gift.
The donkey carriage started to move.
“Goodbye, Uncle!”
Tao Tao waved to Xu Ning.
Xu Ning stood there and waved back.
“Goodbye, Uncle!”
Tao Tao kept repeating this.
Xu Ning could still hear Tao Tao’s voice as the carriage continued to travel away from him.
After a while, the donkey carriage was finally out of sight.
Xu Ning was still standing where he stood. He sighed and returned back into the county city.
…
After bidding farewell to his family and friends, Xu Ning felt a little empty.
He went back to the guard station and flipped through the internal news of the past few days.
Every guard station in Kangyun County would receive a summary of yesterday’s events every morning, ensuring that every Black Armored Guard was familiar with what was happening in the county.
‘What?’
When Xu Ning was flipping through several internal reports, he suddenly read a headline with the word “Magic Faction” on it.
Because of the Dayuan Trading Company incident, Xu Ning paid a lot of attention to Magic Factions.
Xu Ning carefully read the content.
This report was issued yesterday.
It described a murder case of a Magic Faction warrior that occurred in Lushui Lane, the day before yesterday.
This Magic Faction warrior was an ordinary shop assistant in the county city.
But for so reason, he had learned a magic technique.
When he first learned the magic technique, the shop assistant was so scared that he didn’t dare to practice it.
But one day, the shop changed owners, and the new owner began to abuse and insult the assistant.
In response to this, the resentful shop assistant began to practice the magic technique secretly.
In less than half a year, the shop assistant reached the inner enrichnt realm.
Three days ago, when the shopkeeper punched and kicked him again, the shop assistant decided to retaliate.
That night, the assistant sneaked into the shopkeeper’s house and prepared to beat the shopkeeper.
But because he was practicing a magic technique, the hostility in his heart was completely out of balance, affecting his ntal state.
He just wanted to teach the shopkeeper a lesson, but he had lost control of his spirit and killed several people in the shopkeeper’s family.
When he was escaping, he was captured by Black Armored Guards.
In the final interrogation, the shop assistant suddenly died, so the interrogation did not reveal much useful information.
The Magic Faction murder case ended without much of a resolution.
