Chapter 18: Make the Nation Great Again
Bang! Bang! Bang!
In the courtyard, two figures flashed rapidly, making dull sounds when fists and palms collided.
Such momentum left the guards watching at the gate clicking their tongues in wonder.
Yin Hai also watched intently, his heart yearning.
Half an hour later.
Yin Qi was already able to trade over twenty moves with Master Chen, and was also exhausted, panting like an ox, his whole body steaming with sweat.
Of course, this was also because Master Chen had suppressed his strength.
"No more!"
Yin Qi was forced back again. He did not attack anymore, panting as he spoke.
Master Chen, however, looked as usual.
His face was not red, and his breath was not disordered.
He shook his slightly numb palms and couldn't help but praise, "Second Young Master, your strength is truly great, not inferior to an ordinary peak Bright Jin practitioner."
Master Chen was truly shocked; he didn't know how Yin Qi practiced, to have such great strength just after entering Bright Jin.
Except for those born with divine strength, having such great power also indicated that Yin Qi's body was very strong and contained vast power, which allowed him to unleash it through integrated force.
"Is that so!"
Yin Qi smiled, appearing very happy.
With the medicinal bath and sufficient Peiyuan Pills, under the stance training and the Mortal Realm Chapter fist technique, his physical fitness had improved terrifically.
Combining the training methods of two worlds, the effect far exceeded one plus one equals two.
However, he would naturally not tell Master Chen about this.
"By the way, Master Chen, was the trip smooth?"
Master Chen shook his head and said with a heavy expression, "We encountered ambushes on the way there and back, especially on the way back. The other side dispatched over two hundred people, among whom were quite a few experts."
Yin Qi hurriedly asked, "Is Father alright?"
Master Chen replied, "The Master is fine, but five workers died, and quite a few were injured."
Yin Qi breathed a sigh of relief, "That's good. Master Chen, thank you for this time."
Master Chen said, "Taking people's money to resolve their disasters is what this old man should do. Second Young Master, having just returned today, this old man will rest for a while and teach you new fist techniques tomorrow."
Yin Qi nodded and said, "Alright, Master Chen, please get some good rest after you go back."
Just then, Yin Xuan walked in from the courtyard gate and said with a smile, "You are all here. Second Brother, Father has already lifted your confinement. By the way, Father is hosting a banquet for the Caohe Gang leader Lv Xianba at the Li Family Building tonight. Second Brother, you and Master Chen should go too."
"Me?"
Yin Qi was surprised.
He could understand having Master Chen accompany them.
Bringing Master Chen, an expert, meant at least there would be no safety issues, and it could also deter Lv Xianba.
But what was the meaning of bringing him?
And the Yin family had already torn off the mask with the Caohe Gang, it could be said to be a fight to the death; why host a banquet for them?
Yin Xuan smiled and said, "You have performed well recently. Father said to take you to see the world first, and you will be allowed to participate in the family business next. As for why we are negotiating with the Caohe Gang, Father has his own ideas."
"Oh!"
Yin Xuan was thoughtful.
Yin Xuan came and went in a hurry, and Master Chen also left.
Yin Qi took a bath, changed into clean clothes, and waved his hand, "Let's go, Yin Hai, let's go outside and stroll around."
Although he inherited the memories of his predecessor, memories were memories after all.
Having arrived in this world for twenty days, he also wanted to feel the atmosphere of this world.
"Alright!"
Yin Hai was also extremely excited; he hadn't been out to play for a long time.
He was Yin Qi's servant. With Yin Qi confined, except for going out to buy medicine, he was basically confined as well.
……
Shaoxing Prefecture was very lively, and commerce was prosperous; both sides of the street were filled with antique buildings.
Banners were fluttering, and all kinds of hawking sounds were endless.
This was the same as in his memory, but not entirely the same.
Because on this prosperous street, there were beggars everywhere in rags, and even many people with missing hands and feet, or strange deformities, begging.
He didn't know if they were victims of human traffickers who had maimed them for profit.
Even the ordinary commoners seemed to have no color in their eyes, only numbness day and night.
In the same world, in the same city.
Some people wore fine clothes and ate fine food, laughing and chatting, entering and leaving various restaurants, eating delicious meals every day, while others only sought to beg for a steamed bun.
The strong visual contrast hit Yin Qi's heart and mind frantically.
He suddenly realized why he had come.
Before this, he wanted to rebel, but his purpose was mainly to harvest fortune.
But now.
He only wanted to make this nation stand up and be great again!
He absolutely could not let this nation in this world experience the century of sorrow from his previous life again!
"Young Master!"
Yin Hai suddenly called out, his voice filled with surprise and doubt.
Yin Qi turned his head calmly, "What is it?"
Yin Hai scratched his head and said with some confusion, "It's just that I feel like Young Master is suddenly different, but I can't put my finger on it. It seems like there is suddenly light in your eyes. Young Master, don't pity these beggars too much. Our Yin family boils porridge for disaster relief for several days every month. In the family factory, the Master also prioritizes displaced people or beggars with families."
Yin Qi nodded and continued walking forward.
Whoosh! Whoosh!
Suddenly, a commotion came from ahead, and a group of people gathered.
"Let's go, let's go see!"
Yin Qi quickened his pace and soon walked up.
A group of people were gathered in front of a wonton stall, except the stall had already been kicked over, and wontons and soup were flowing all over the ground.
An old man was curled up on the ground, holding his head with his hands, letting a fierce-looking young man stomp on him violently. He kept letting out miserable cries, wailing endlessly.
Beside the overturned stall, there was a terrified little girl crying loudly.
The fierce young man cursed while stomping, "You dog thing, you're blind. I ate three bowls of your wontons; that's me looking up to you, and you actually dare to collect money from me. Collect, go ahead and collect."
"Stop!"
Yin Qi shouted.
He pushed into the crowd angrily and shoved the fierce young man away.
He hurriedly squatted down, helped the old man up, and asked, "Old man, are you alright?"
The old man hurriedly shook his head, "I'm fine, I'm fine. This young master, this is none of your business, you should leave quickly. This Qian San is not someone you can afford to provoke."
"Want to leave?"
Qian San walked up with a ferocious grin. He sized up Yin Qi and said coldly, "Kid, do you know who I am? You actually dare to meddle in my business; I think you are tired of living. Now kneel down, kowtow to me three times, and then call me Grandfather three times, and I will let you go. Otherwise, even your family will suffer a great disaster."
How could he not see that Yin Qi was a young master from a wealthy family?
Although he was just a commoner, or even a rascal, he was completely unafraid when facing Yin Qi, and even wanted to humiliate the other party thoroughly to vent the frustration of the past twenty years.
Yin Hai also squeezed over. He pointed at Qian San and cursed, "Who the hell are you, daring to talk to my Young Master like that? I think the one who should kneel down is you, and the one who should call Grandfather three times is also you. Otherwise, you won't need to stay in Shanyin anymore."
"Hahaha!"
Qian San laughed wildly, his face full of arrogance, "Who am I? Kid, I'll tell you who I am. I am a church convert; even if I see the Prefect, I don't have to bow. Now tell me, whose family is bigger, yours or mine?"
