He quietly reached his other hand towards his shoulder.

He wanted to pull out a dagger.

But before anyone could react, a fierce gust of wind swept in.

Before she could see what was happening, she saw a figure rushing towards her.

Before he could even draw his dagger, his body was already pushed aside and he was sent flying backward.

She could clearly see the bamboo leaves fluttering in front of her, flying past this person.

They were separated by a distance, so she couldn't see the person's face, but she could feel the flying leaves brushing against his wounds.

This person's lightness skill is exceptional, even better than Linghu Bai's.

Before long, the man placed it under a big tree.

She quickly reached out and grabbed the man's arm.

The man broke free of her arms the next time she attacked.

He turned and leaped through the treetops, disappearing into the night.

Qin Yu was somewhat confused and didn't know what had happened.

No one knows where this person came from, nor what their purpose is.

The white sleeve of her arm was stained with red blood, which puzzled her, but she could only watch the person walk away.

In the darkness, Linghu Bai flipped and leaped over several walls before finally stopping in an open space.

He had wounds of varying sizes on his arms, and a thin, red bloodstain on his handsome, fair face.

Standing on the open ground, I took a deep breath and finally relaxed.

That was close; she was almost hurt.

As she chased after him, he was venting his inner energy, never expecting her to follow him, nor did he anticipate that the willow leaves would injure her.

Linghu Bai couldn't help but feel a lingering fear, also worried that he didn't know if she had recognized him.

He stood there for a long time, panting heavily, until he had completely calmed down, before turning around and returning to Qin Yu's courtyard.

When they opened the door, they saw Qin Yu sitting in the courtyard.

Upon seeing him, the woman gave a faint smile.

"Instructor Linghu is going out so late?"

Linghu Bai weighed the bundle in his hand.

"I'm setting off back tomorrow, so I need to buy some things. Is Miss Qin waiting for me?"

Qin Yu wanted to look at the person in front of him, but apart from a red bloodstain on his face, there was nothing special about him.

"It's time to close; it's too late and not safe."

Qin Yu nodded, then asked, "Your face is injured, did something happen?"

Linghu Bai touched it, chuckled self-deprecatingly, and replied, "A girl accidentally scratched me just now!"

"It's normal for girls to like me because I'm so good-looking."

"They might be jealous of each other over me, but it was just an accidental bump into me."

"Miss Qin is very worried about me, could it be...?"

Seeing that he was as usual, Qin Yu carefully looked him over.

Only after confirming that nothing unusual was found did their doubts dissipate.

"That's great! I hope you'll bring your wife with you when you come back!"

After saying this, Qin Yu stood up and went into the room.

Three days passed quickly.

Qin Yu arrived at the old ancestral hall in Qingshui Village as agreed.

Inside the ancestral hall, Wu Dahua and Xu Feng stood together.

Li Huai stood on the other side, giving Xu Feng a disdainful look with a displeased expression.

Sun Tong has not yet appeared, and there are not many beans in the area he marked.

The three smiled when they saw Young Master Qin appear.

"Young Master Qin, you've arrived!"

"Young Master Qin, this pile is mine. Look, mine has the most here!"

Xu Feng was the first to approach Qin Yu, and, as if seeking credit, reached out to lead Qin Yu towards his pair of soybeans.

Qin Yu didn't speak, but looked at Li Huai questioningly.

Where is Sun Tong?

Li Huai looked at Xu Feng's smug face with disdain.

However, when Young Master Qin asked him a question, he answered seriously and respectfully.

"Sun Tong told me to come first; he'll definitely be here before noon!"

Even Qin Yu couldn't figure out what Sun Tong was thinking.

We had no choice but to wait.

"Since Sun Tong hasn't arrived yet, let's wait until he gets here before discussing this further!"

Seeing this, Xu Feng looked at Li Huai with ill intent.

"Could it be that he ran off with ten taels of silver?"

Upon hearing this, Li Huai replied firmly, "No, Sun Tong is not that kind of person!"

"Who knows? He's been talking about it for three days, and there's not a single box of them here. Maybe he knew he wouldn't be able to buy them and ran away beforehand!"

"After all, ten taels of silver is no small sum. Ten taels of silver is the amount that an ordinary family can earn in two or three years!"

Wu Dahua remained silent, head bowed, simply listening.

Li Huai looked at Xu Feng with great annoyance.

"Don't talk nonsense, or I'll tell Sun Tong. I'm telling you, he's not someone to mess with!"

Qin Yu watched them talk back and forth, observing their personalities and character, but he was in no hurry to speak.

"Young Master Qin... Li Huai..."

Just as Li Huai finished speaking, Sun Tong's voice came from outside.

"Wow..." Xu Feng was also startled when he saw the several cars behind Sun Tong. "So many?"

When Li Huai saw Sun Tong, he also smiled.

Qin Yu saw several carriages following behind Sun Tong.

Each carriage had several large baskets, all of which looked completely full.

Sun Tong jumped off the carriage and walked up to the two men.

“Young Master Qin, the three days have passed, and I have fulfilled my promise.”

Sun Tong pointed to the carriage behind him, smiled at Qin Yu, revealing his handsome white teeth. He seemed lively and carefree.

Sun Tong and Li Huai looked at each other and smiled, then joined the others in carrying the soybeans down one by one.

Qin Yu observed the performance of the group.

Xu Feng was unwilling and unhappy. Wu Dahua had an indifferent expression. He looked at them and then at himself. He reached out to help several times, but Xu Feng stopped him each time.

Waiting for everyone to put the soybeans in one by one.

The four of them were left behind to await Young Master Qin's questions.

"Although I've seen the results, I'd also like to hear how you all buy soybeans!"

Qin Yu looked at the group. Although the outcome was obvious, he still wanted to know the details of the matter.

Xu Feng was the first to step forward.

“Young Master Qin, it’s like this. Da Hua and I went to our village and the villages below, explaining the situation to them with reason and emotion. It doesn’t matter who we sell to, we’re willing to pay an extra penny to buy all their soybeans.”

"The villagers were naturally happy to know that we had spent an extra penny. In just two days, we bought a lot of soybeans. The two of us together still had eighteen taels of silver, which we didn't spend much!"

As he spoke, Xu Feng placed the silver on the table and pushed it in front of Qin Yu.

Seeing this, Qin Yu asked, "Should the remaining money be divided equally, or..."

Upon hearing whether the remaining money would be divided equally, Xu Feng realized that the money was originally intended for them. To avoid revealing his intention to keep it all for himself, he replied, "Of course it should be divided equally. We're good brothers. If this money is for us, then of course we should divide it equally!"
