It was early morning on December 27, 1227 in the Ziyun calendar.
Zhou Donghuang was having breakfast with Lin Lan in the dining room when Granny Lian suddenly walked in from outside.
In her hand, she also held two invitations.
"Miss, this is an invitation personally sent by Qin Long, the head of the Qin family, saying it is for you and the young master."
After Granny Lian placed the invitation on the dining table, she left.
"invitation?"
Lin Lan was startled, "Is there any happy event happening in the Qin family recently?"
After a moment, Lin Lan opened the invitation and looked at it with a look of astonishment, "This... the old head of the Qin family wants to accept Xiao Yu as his adopted daughter?"
"Isn't this too... exaggerated?"
In Lin Lan's view, Qin Yi, the head of the Qin family, is now over sixty years old, while Qin Xiaoyu is only eleven years old.
Even Qin Yi's grandson is older than Qin Xiaoyu.
And now, Qin Yi wants to accept Qin Xiaoyu as his adopted daughter
Hearing Lin Lan's words, Zhou Donghuang was stunned for a moment. He picked up another invitation, opened it, took a look at it, shook his head and smiled, "Qin Yi is really good at being a good person."
Qin Yi was very satisfied with this.
At least, in the future, as long as the Qin family does not fall, Qin Xiaoyu will be safe and worry-free in his life.
Although Qin Xiaoyu is not his biological sister, several years of getting along with her have already made him regard Qin Xiaoyu as his biological sister.
"Donghuang, is it because of you?"
It was not difficult for Lin Lan to guess the reason why Qin Yi did this, "It's just that even if the Qin family doesn't dare to neglect Xiao Yu because they are afraid of you, it wouldn't be such an exaggeration, right?"
"What if I gave the Qin family a low-level martial arts palm technique?"
Zhou Donghuang asked rhetorically.
Lin Lan suddenly realized, "No wonder..."
As for why Zhou Donghuang sent martial arts to the Qin family, she didn't ask much because she knew that her son must have his own reasons for doing so.
"Mom, how have you been practicing recently?"
Zhou Donghuang asked Lin Lan that although he knew that Lin Lan had been practicing with great concentration these days, he did not know Lin Lan's progress.
"Donghuang, that skill you gave me is so amazing... While taking the Qi Gathering Powder you prepared and practicing that skill, my cultivation level has improved rapidly."
Hearing Zhou Donghuang mention her cultivation, Lin Lan's eyebrows suddenly danced with excitement, "Next, in less than a month, I will be able to practice again and return to the first level of Qi Gathering."
Although, there is a huge difference between Lin Lan's talent and Zhou Donghuang's talent.
However, Lin Lan turned out to be a Qi-gathering first-level martial arts monk. Even if he lost his true energy and started practicing again, the meridians in his body that had long been enlarged did not narrow again.
Now, she only needs to fill her meridians with true energy again, and then she can successfully regain her Qi-gathering and first-level cultivation.
Therefore, she retrained to the first level of Qi Gathering very quickly.
"Mom, when you are not practicing, you can try to master these two martial arts moves."
Zhou Donghuang handed two pieces of paper rolled together to Lin Lan. What was recorded inside was the third-rate martial arts "Star Step" and "Shensha Palm".
The two martial arts previously given to Leng Hanfeng and the Qin family, the second master of Black Tiger Village, were actually written by Zhou Donghuang and prepared for Lin Lan. It was just because Lin Lan had been practicing behind closed doors that he never had the chance. To Lin Lan.
The two copies now were written just after he got up this morning.
"Martial arts?"
Lin Lan's eyes lit up, and she hurriedly reached out to take the two papers handed over by Zhou Donghuang. After opening one of them and reading it, her pupils shrank sharply.
"'Sand Palm'...is this a third-rate martial arts?"
Lin Lan moved her eyes away from the paper in her hand with some difficulty, raised her head and looked at Zhou Donghuang, with a look of disbelief on her face.
"The other "Star Step" is also a third-rate martial arts."
Zhou Donghuang smiled.
"Third-rate Shenfa and Martial Arts?"
After looking at the movement and martial arts "Step to the Stars" recorded on another piece of paper, Lin Lan was shocked to the point of being completely numb.
In Yunyang, it is said that the third-rate martial arts is only available to the royal family and the royal family. Not only can she easily pick it up, but she can also learn two of them!
During this period of time, Zhou Donghuang shocked Lin Lan too much, so this time, Lin Lan recovered quickly.
After finishing the meal in a hurry, Lin Lan said hello to Zhou Donghuang, then left the dining room and went to the backyard to practice the martial arts he had just acquired.
To Zhou Donghuang, third-rate martial arts was just the lowest level of martial arts in his thousand-year memory of his previous life, no different from rubbish.
However, to Lin Lan, it is the supreme treasure.
After eating breakfast alone, Zhou Donghuang also went back to his room to practice.
To his surprise, at noon the next day, the old head of the Qin family, 'Qin Yi', came to his door. He was dressed in a dusty appearance, with obvious dark circles around his eyes.
"Master Donghuang, I only bought two-thirds of the medicinal materials you asked for... and the remaining one-third. I visited all the major drug stores in the county and city, but they were all out of stock."
Qin Yi said with some guilt.
"Master Qin, don't blame yourself. Being able to buy so many medicinal materials is beyond my expectation... You go back and rest first. I will go to the Qin family to settle the payment for these medicinal materials another day."
Zhou Donghuang said with a smile, and his eyes towards Qin Yi were a little more friendly.
In less than two days and two nights, Qin Yi returned from the county town. Even if he had a bloody horse to travel with him, there would be no time to rest on the road.
It was obvious that Qin Yi did not rest during this journey.
"Master Donghuang, these medicinal materials are given to you by the Qin family. If you want to talk about money, don't blame the old man for falling out with me."
Seeing Zhou Donghuang mentioning the money, Qin Yi's face instantly turned very ugly, "Compared with what you gave to the Qin family, Master Donghuang, what does this little thing mean?"
"Okay, just follow the old master Qin."
Now, Zhou Donghuang also hoped that Qin Yi could go back to rest quickly and no longer be obsessed with the money Qin Yi spent on buying medicinal materials.
From now on, just find other ways to repay Qin Yi's favor.
After Qin Yi left, Zhou Donghuang pondered slightly, "In eight days, it will be the day when Qin Yi accepts Xiao Yu as his adopted daughter... Then, give him and the Qin family another martial arts move."
"Well, let's change "Steps to the Stars" and give it to him with inferior movement and martial arts."
Soon, Zhou Donghuang made a decision in his mind.
Regardless of whether it was his previous life or this life, the last thing he wanted to owe was 'favor'.
Just like those old friends who helped Zhou Donghuang in the previous life on Earth, although they helped Zhou Donghuang, Zhou Donghuang had also returned their favor in the previous life...
In this life, Zhou Donghuang did not go to Earth, and those people were destined to be unable to help him again, but he still planned to return to Earth to help them solve their troubles.
Every little bit of kindness should be repaid with a spring of water.
This is the basic concept of Zhou Donghuang's behavior.
…
December 31, 1227 in the Ziyun calendar is the last day of the year 1227 in the Ziyun calendar.
On this day, the Li family in the county town was not at peace.
"Second Young Master, you must help me take revenge!"
The middle-aged son of the Li family in the county town whose limbs were crippled by Zhou Donghuang was finally sent back to the Li family in the county town after many days.
The Li family in the county town is a prominent family, not comparable to those poor families in small towns.
Among the poor families in small towns, the strongest ones are usually the Qi-gathering second level martial arts monks.
And among prominent families, there are countless Qi-gathering second-level martial arts monks.
In the poor families in the small town, martial arts monks with the first level of Qi Gathering can be promoted to elders, but in the famous families, only the martial arts monks with the third level of Qi Gathering can be promoted to the elders.
This is the difference between a poor family and a noble family.
Of course, this is not the most important thing.
the most important is:
A prominent family must have at least one martial arts monk at the fourth level of Qi gathering.
No one will admit that a family without a fourth-level Qi-gathering martial arts monk is a noble family. Even if there are more third-level Qi-gathering martial arts monks in that family, as long as there are no fourth-level Qi-gathering martial arts monks, it can still only be regarded as a poor family.
Of course, that kind of poor family is generally found only in county towns, because they don't bother to stay in small towns.
"Who did it?"
A young man wearing brocade clothes, with ordinary appearance but full of arrogance in his eyebrows, frowned slightly and glanced at the middle-aged man on the stretcher, and asked in a calm tone.
And he is the second young master of the Li family in the county, 'Li Pingyun', the only son of the head of the Li family, and the heir to the position of head of the Li family.
If nothing unexpected happens, he will be the future head of the Li family.
"It's the new owner of Yunxuan Restaurant in Qingshan Town, 'Zhou Donghuang'. I followed your order, Second Young Master, and asked him to buy Yunxuan Restaurant. He not only said that Second Young Master, you were delusional, but also took action to destroy my hands and feet. !”
The middle-aged man looked ferocious, staring with hateful eyes, and said in a deep voice: "He said, spare my life, and let me tell the Second Young Master that you..."
"If, Second Young Master, you dare to take advantage of his Yunxuan Restaurant again, my fate will be your fate!"
With his limbs crippled, his life is destined to be ruined. The middle-aged man's only thought in life now is to make nonsense and anger the second young master of the Li family as much as possible, so that the second young master can find someone to take action to kill Zhou Donghuang. Kill and avenge him.
Of course, what he said was not completely false.
At least, Zhou Donghuang really refused to sell Yunxuan Restaurant to the second young master of their Li family.
"Isn't he a useless person in martial arts? You, a dignified Qi-gathering second-level martial arts monk, were actually disabled by him? Are you kidding me?"
Although Li Pingyun's tone remained calm, deep in his eyes, the flames of anger were already burning and out of control!
A kid from a small town actually dared to say that he wanted to destroy Li Pingyun's hands and feet
In addition, Li Pingyun did not believe that a boy of only sixteen years old could destroy the middle-aged man in front of him.
Although this middle-aged man is only a collateral descendant of their Li family, he is also a second-level Qi Gathering martial arts cultivator.
If he remembers correctly:
In Qingshan Town, the strongest ones are the second-level Qi Gathering martial arts monks.
"Second Young Master, I originally thought he was a martial arts loser... But, it wasn't until he took action that I realized that he was not a martial arts loser, but a martial arts monk who was stronger than me."
When it comes to Zhou Donghuang's strength, the middle-aged man still has lingering fears, "Even if he has not reached the third level of Qi Gathering, I'm afraid he is close to it."
