My Two-sided Cultivation: Starting From Collecting Experiences

110 The Return of the King!

In the end, Qin Huai stepped on the boundary of Pingnan City and killed them all one by one.

He calculated that he would not be able to make it in time for the grand martial competition, and only then did he rush back day and night.

The city guard pouted, obviously not believing him, but he still let Qin Huai go.

Qin Huai didn’t care at all. He walked quickly in the direction of the Luo manor as if no one was around. The first thing he wanted to do when he returned was to let the three of them know that he was safe.

!!

As for dignity, he had already wiped his face clean with snow before he entered the city.

…

Drunken Immortal restaurant

Cai Jiulou hummed a little tune as he stepped on the bench with one foot and held a wine pot in his other hand.

He looked carefree, and the two lackeys beside him were also full of smiles.

“In terms of killing demons, the younger generation of Pingnan City still has to rely on Senior Brother Cai.”

“Who said it wasn’t?! This month’s number one, Senior Brother Cai, is leading by seventy points.”

“I think that Miss Shaoxiang from Overflowing Fragrance restaurant has sent her maidservant, Little Qing, to guard the demon judgment board every day. She must be waiting to see Senior Brother Cai’s daily results and to report them!”

The fatty forced a smile. “I guess Miss Shaoxiang has been in the building all day without thinking about food or tea. She’s waiting for the day Senior Brother marries her.”

“Nonsense! Miss Shaoxiang is from a prestigious family and has a high self-restraint. She must be planning for her and Senior Brother’s future…” the thin man said solemnly.

The two lackeys spoke with great emotion. By embellishing the maid’s expression, they painted Miss Shaoxiang as a shy woman who had been in love with Cai Jiulou for a long time.

Cai Jiulou was in a good mood when he heard this, even when he knew that the lackeys’ words must have been a little exaggerated. But there was still a chance it might be true. Miss Shaoxiang paid so much attention to him, so she definitely had a good impression of him.

The fatty sighed again. “It’s a pity that there was a shortage of demons and monsters last month, so I couldn’t make it to the demon judgment board in the second month. Now, I only have the first place for a month… It’s still that Qin Huai who is too hateful!”

“I don’t know what method he used, but he stole Senior Brother’s first place.” The thin man shook his head.

Cai Jiulou also felt a little regretful when he thought of this. Otherwise, he wouldn’t be sitting in this restaurant right now, but at home with Miss Shaoxiang, sharing the joy of sex.

But he still coughed lightly. “The fight for the top spot of the demon slayer ranking is based on your own abilities. Don’t slander others in the future and lower your own status.

“Besides, if I can change the world to have no demons, I’ll be able to escape. I’d rather not compete for the top rank. I’ll find another way to marry Miss Shaoxiang.”

Cai Jiulou’s voice was steady. He was not lying. In the past two months, all the dojos had suffered heavy casualties.

Two thousand demons swept over. Among them, there were also demons with near-human intelligence who took action to coordinate the overall situation.

In the first exchange, they had killed many young people from the eight major martial arts centers. After that, the three thousand armored soldiers entered the battlefield, and together with the heads and deputy heads of the dojos, they were able to cut off the swift and violent momentum of the two thousand demons.

With a destructive force, the formation of two thousand demons was crushed. He then divided several scattered demon-slaying battlefields and gave them to the young people.

He returned to the monster-like state he was in the first month.

Bang! Bang!

At a table not far away, Cao Wang smashed his wine glass on the table with a mocking expression. “If it were two months ago, I would definitely speak up for Qin Huai. But now… How can he, Qin Huai, be compared to Brother Cai? With Brother Cai’s setup, even ten Qin Huais can’t compare.

“A month ago, I heard there was a sudden change in the tide of demons and monsters. Then, I claimed that I had reached a bottleneck and went into the mountains to cultivate.”

His tone was harsh as he added, “It’s been two months, but there’s no news of Qin Huai at all. No one has found any corpses in the forest… From what I see, that Qin Huai must have cultivated all the way to Lingjiang county.”

Cao Wang laughed coldly.

“Cao Wang, don’t measure a gentleman’s heart with your own mean measure!” Qi Yangbing’s voice was gentle, but there was a needle hidden in the cotton. “I can still vouch for Junior Brother Qin’s character. He would never do such a thing.”

But Cao Wang continued to slander. “Brother Qi, as the saying goes, you can’t tell what’s in a person’s heart. Who knows if that Qin Huai is just acting? Just like that Li Bowu from your dojo, he’s usually very kind. Who would’ve thought he’s a Sacred Heart believer? Feeding on the brothers of his own dojo?

“That’s right. I think this Qin Huai has definitely run to Lingjiang county!” Cao Wang concluded with certainty, as if he was telling the truth.

“Hmph, Cao Wang, based on what you’ve said, Reihom has not been in Pingnan City for the past two months, right? Then, can I say that Reihom has also escaped to Lingjiang county?” Qi Yangbing retorted. If someone was targeting his junior brother, then his temper would not be good.

The contempt in Cao Wang’s eyes grew when he heard this, and the other geniuses of the Thunderbolt Dojo also sneered at him.

“What is Qin Huai? How can he be mentioned in the same breath as Eldest Senior Brother?”

“Who doesn’t know that Eldest Senior Brother is the number one heaven’s favorite in Pingnan?!”

“Everyone here, who dares to say that they are my eldest senior brother’s match?!” Cao Wang was full of confidence when he said this.

The third floor of Drunken Immortal restaurant was deathly silent. When the group of young talents heard this name, their eyes could not help but wander. They did not dare to look in Cao Wang’s direction.

“If Eldest Senior Brother says he’s going to gain experience, then he’s definitely going to gain experience!” Cao Wang argued.

“Hmph!” Qi Yangbing snorted coldly. “The truth will be revealed soon after the martial arts competition begins tomorrow.”

“No need to wait for tomorrow! Qin Huai is back!”

Someone shouted, and a group of people immediately leaned against the window.

“Where? Where is he?”

Everyone looked out of the window, but there was no one.

“He just entered the city, and it’s said that he almost got into a fight with the city guards.”

A person quickly came up the stairs, his face full of anticipation.

“Ah?”

“What’s going on?”

When the group of people heard this, their interest was immediately piqued.

“Isn’t the Changshan Dojo an ally of the city lord’s mansion?”

“I heard that Qin Huai… looked like a beggar in his tattered clothes. I don’t think he’s successful yet.”

“A beggar? Let’s go! Let’s go and take a look!”

...

The crowd immediately swarmed towards the city gate.

As for Qi Yangbing, he directly jumped from the third floor of the Drunken Immortal restaurant. Nimbly stepping on the wooden boards and beams, he galloped towards the west gate.

Qi Yangbing, Cai Jiulou, Xing Bufan, and the others had just arrived at the city gate and had yet to find Qin Huai’s figure.

The city gate was opened, and a crowd of people lined up to welcome him and excitedly led him into the house.

He was mighty, brave, and domineering.

The ride was the same as it had been a year ago. In the middle of the heavy snow and harsh winter, his bare upper body revealed his terrifying muscles. He was riding a warhorse and carrying a spear, and his spoils of war hung on it.

When Xing Bufan saw the spoils of war, his eyes narrowed. “A fifth refinement great demon!”

“This Reihom… He’s becoming more and more monstrous …”
