My Cultivation Starting from Archery

Si Qinmohua gradually got used to preparing hot water for his baths and for changing his clothes.

Now that his wife was pregnant, it was better to be cautious to avoid startling the child.

...

The next morning.

Just as Chen Sansi had finished washing up, Mo Hua came to find him, saying that someone outside wanted to meet him.

Standing at the entrance of the residence was a young Taoist, naturally from the Ci Yun Temple.

"Blessings be as boundless as the Heavenly Venerate!"

The young Taoist bowed, "Benefactor, my master is going to preach today and has specially sent me to invite you."

They actually came to the door...

What does it mean?

Could it be that they insist on making him drink the Nourishing Spirit Soup?

What exactly was this Nourishing Spirit Soup for?

"I understand,"

Chen Sansi calmly replied, "Please tell Reverend Qiu Mingzi that if I have time, I will definitely come."

He certainly couldn't outright refuse, otherwise the other party might sense something was wrong.

It just wasn't clear if he didn't go, whether the other side would keep inviting him, and if he kept refusing, whether they would force him.

Without a weapon, he truly felt unsafe!

And recently...

The tracking had started again!

After leaving the house, Chen Sansi noticed the familiar presence reappearing.

"It seems I need to find someone to deal with this,"

He thought this as he went out to buy many medicinal materials, using his free time after work and beyond his cultivation sessions, to make a lot of beauty creams and rouge powders, which he then personally delivered to the Governor Mansion.

"Junior brother really knows how to care for women,"

Rong Yanqiu, smelling the scent of rouge, said, "These materials can't be found on the market, you must have gone through a lot of trouble, are you planning on asking me to give them to Ninth Junior Sister?"

Chen Sansi shook his head, "No, they are for you, Senior Sister."

"Me?"

Rong Yanqiu quickly caught on and rolled her eyes, "Junior brother, if you have something to say, just say it."

"Thank you, Senior Sister."

Chen Sansi didn't stand on ceremony and explained what he needed.

"Alright, leave it to me."

Rong Yanqiu handed the items to a servant, instructing, "Go give these to Ninth Junior Sister and say that Mr. Chen personally made them for her."

After giving her instructions.

Her expression suddenly turned grave, and she picked up a weapon and followed.

It wasn't long.

Before she indeed spotted a shadowy figure covertly following behind the junior brother.

"Swoosh—"

An Iron Thorns Whip suddenly lashed out.

The shadow let out a cry of alarm, also taking out two short daggers from behind to block, but he was clearly no match due to an injury. After one exchange, he was stumbling backward, yelling, "Ninth Junior Sister, it's me, hold your hand!"

"Old Third?"

Rong Yanqiu's face grew even colder, "Junior brother has only been an entry-level disciple for a short while, and you want to trail him?"

"No, not trailing!"

Nie Yuan hurriedly explained, "I was merely protecting junior brother in secret!"

"Do you think, I can believe you?"

Without further ado, Rong Yanqiu whipped out her Iron Thorns Whip with the fury of a tempest, swiftly reigniting Nie Yuan's old wounds and forcing him to spit out a mouthful of fresh blood.

He knelt on one knee, "Ninth Junior Sister, are you really going to kill your senior brother over a junior who's just become an entry-level disciple?"

"Killing you would be too far, but..."

Rong Yanqiu snorted coldly, "You and eldest brother have long ceased to be my senior brothers, come with me!"

She wrapped her Iron Thorns Whip around his neck and, like leading a prisoner, marched straight to Marquis Wuding's Mansion. She kicked open the gate, startling the eldest senior brother inside who was practicing his martial arts.

"..."

Lu Ji looked at his third junior brother, covered in blood, and felt a headache coming on. Without even asking, he could guess what had happened.

But still, he said with a heavy voice, "Ninth Junior Sister, isn't this going too far?"

"Too far?"

Rong Yanqiu found it laughable. She kicked Nie Yuan aside, her voice laced with severity, "Eldest brother, aren't you embarrassed? Setting your sights on our own junior brother. No wonder the fourth senior brother instructed me to stay in Liangzhou for a while before he left, just to guard against you, the ingrate!"

"I... really only wanted to protect junior brother in secret."

"Protect?"

Rong Yanqiu sat down in the middle of the courtyard, pouring herself a drink indifferently, "You have the nerve to say that, a few nights ago when junior brother was on a mission and ran into Hua Jin, where was your protection then?"

Lu Ji spoke blandly, "The battlefield is the battlefield, normal times are normal times."

"Enough, I can't be bothered to argue with you,"

Rong Yanqiu felt irritated, "From now on, if you dare to tail Chen Sansi again, don't blame me for turning on you, and I mean the kind of turning that involves risking lives, do you understand?"

"Okay."

Lu Ji agreed calmly, "I promise you."

"I don't hold power in Liangzhou, this is your turf, but there's someone you need to deal with for me."

Rong Yanqiu continued, "Sha Wenlong."

"Why? Because of the Yu Yang Sect's business?"

Lu Ji sat down opposite her, "That doesn't seem appropriate, it was just an accident."

"Accident?"

Rong Yanqiu scoffed, "I've checked, Sha Wenlong's family has been disciples of the Yin family since his father's generation. You tell me this was an accident? If he were under my control, he would have been dismembered into over a dozen pieces by now."

"Sister, we need evidence for everything..."

"I couldn't care less about evidence."

Rong Yanqiu's stance was firm, "I'm giving you one month, either remove him or transfer him to another department, otherwise, I'll take matters into my own hands."

"Ninth Junior Sister, don't go too far!"

Nie Yuan could hardly bear it.

Lu Ji stopped him, "Junior Sister, I swear to heaven, I would never harm junior brother's life, and as for your demand, I can agree to take care of it, but..."

"Junior brother has just become an entry-level disciple, and you're already so protective, is it necessary?"

"I'm not protecting him."

Rong Yanqiu enunciated clearly, "I merely trust master."

...

Chen Sansi stopped in front of the largest brothel on Flowering Willow Lane, looking up at the signboard that bore several large characters ― Red Sleeve Tower.
