Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations

“I planned to bring your brother-in-law and come 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 home…”

There was a hint of disappointment in Xu Ning’s tone.

Xu Lian explained, “I planned to take care of him at home, but your brother-in-law said that the weather is getting warmer, and you haven’t taken your spring and summer clothes with you, so I came here to send you some clothes and to bring you some food. The stuff I brought for you is at our lodge.”

“And Tao Tao always said that she misses you recently… So he told me to come visit you.”

Xu Ning felt uncomfortable after hearing this.

“I wonder if there’s a way to treat his injury…”

.

A thought came 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 time periods, Tao Yunchuan’s old injuries would manifest and cause body aches.

Now that Xu Ning had become an official lieutenant, he felt that he had more connections and resources.

Xu Ning decided to ask Qu Dayou if there were any spirit medicine or dan medicine that could treat his brother-in-law’s old injuries.

“Master, do you need me 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 me. 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 came, Xu Ning would have liked for the three of them to stay for a long time.

But Tao Yunchuan was alone at home, and Xu Ning was worried about him.

“Right, Guo Ye.”

Xu Ning said, “When Uncle Gang invites his shopkeeper friends to dinner, remember to call me.”

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 businessmen 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 some 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 home-cooked dinner with them together.

Xu Ning and Tao Qingping hadn’t eaten a home-cooked meal in a long time, 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 meal.

However, Tao Tao’s disappointment 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 some 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 home.

Although Xu Ning was somewhat 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 time. 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 came over and gave Xu Ning a wooden box.

Xu Ning knew what was inside without opening it.

It was definitely spirit medicine.

“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 me 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 became 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 medicinal 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 handsomely 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 some 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 enrichment 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 mental 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.
