The farce came to an end, and after the villagers had scolded Liu Dabao a few times, they all dispersed, leaving only Tie Zhu behind. Excited and curious, he asked, "Ah Fei, you used to be pretty lousy at fighting, even I could beat you. How did you suddenly become so powerful?"
At those words, Li Fei's parents also subconsciously looked towards him, clearly shocked by Li Fei's performance today!
"When I was at university, I enrolled in a Sanda class. The coach there was a director of the Martial Arts Association and had some real skills. He saw that I had a good understanding and taught me a few moves. I've been practicing for two or three years. Dealing with a few thugs is naturally not a problem!"
Li Fei casually made up a bluff, intending to gloss it over. Unexpectedly, Tie Zhu's eyes lit up upon hearing this, and he excitedly said, "Really? Ah Fei, does that mean you're trained in martial arts? Then you have to teach me a few moves, I want to learn martial arts too!"
"Sure, I'll teach you when I have time! Let's leave it at that for today. Liu Dabao has caused enough damage to our home; we need to clean up!"
Li Fei nodded, a bit amused, and then said!
"Alright, I'll get going then. Call me if you need anything. If that bastard Liu Dabao dares to pull any tricks, just call me, and I'll chop him up with one swing of my axe."
As he spoke, Tie Zhu even brandished the wood-cutting axe in his hand!
"Sure!"
Li Fei felt a warmth in his heart and nodded. There was an understanding between them that did not need to be put into words.
"Xiao Fei, although you've learned martial arts, you must never use it to bully others or engage in fights. Otherwise, sooner or later, you'll get yourself into trouble, you know?"
As soon as Tie Zhu left, Chen Huixian immediately admonished with emphasis and concern.
Li Zhenyun also spoke gravely, "Your mother is right. Your dad was too impulsive back then and offended someone we could not afford to offend, ending up in this state. You must not repeat my mistakes!"
Two years ago, while Li Fei was studying at school, he suddenly received a call from his mother telling him that his father had been in an accident and asked him to come back home immediately.
As soon as he got home, he discovered that his father was left with a disability in both legs, and Liu Dabao had stolen all the business. The family's savings had been completely spent on his father's medical treatment.
Suddenly without any source of income, he had no choice but to drop out of school.
He only knew that his father had offended a significant figure, but who it was and what exactly had happened, his father had never said.
He guessed it was because his father feared that Li Fei, in his youthful vigor, would seek vengeance and end up putting himself in danger.
In the past, he had been powerless, so he had let it be. But now, times had changed; with a unique skill in his possession, avenging his father was a duty that Li Fei, as his son, saw as inevitable. Hearing these words, he immediately asked in a deep voice, "Dad, can you tell me who exactly was it that hurt you like this two years ago?"
Worried that his father would still refuse, Li Fei added, "Dad, I'm not a fool. If it's really someone I can't afford to provoke, I won't recklessly seek revenge. I just want to know who this person is. When one day I make something of myself and have the capital and ability to take revenge, then I will go find him!"
Hearing this, Chen Huixian remained silent, her face filled with tension, looking at her husband. Li Zhenyun then fell silent for a moment and afterward, he showed a relieved smile and said, "Ah Fei, I'm glad you feel this way, and it's not that I don't trust you, but the gap between us and that person is just too big!"
"Dad, I..."
"You don't need to say more. If you want to know, you have to show me what you can do. Prove it to me."
Before Li Fei could say more, Li Zhenyun gestured with his hand to stop him and slowly continued, "Didn't you just say that you could pay back Liu Dabao 100,000 yuan in a week?"
"Making 100,000 in a week, not even Liu Dabao, let alone the entire Xinghua Village, can do it. If you manage to do that, I'll tell you who that person is!"
"Okay, Dad, just wait and see!"
Li Fei nodded solemnly and did not continue to dwell on the topic. The family of three went back home to tidy up the mess that Li Sanmao and his group had caused.
At that moment, Li Fei thought about the miraculous 'Medical Saint Techniques' in his mind and immediately said to his father, "Dad, I've been self-studying Traditional Chinese Medicine for the past two years and have stumbled upon some methods to treat broken bones. Let me take a look at your legs; maybe I can cure you!"
Cure you?
Li Zhenyun shook his head with a wry smile. His legs had been broken for two years now, and the bones had necrotized; how could Chinese medicine possibly heal that?
Although he was skeptical, he couldn't bear to refuse his son's sincerity and smiled in agreement, "We'll see. If it can't be cured, that's alright. It's been two years; I've gotten used to the wheelchair."
"Dad, rest assured, I will certainly heal your legs!"
Li Fei said resolutely. He couldn't believe that, having been an emperor-level figure in the immortal world in his previous life, he wouldn't be able to cure a simple leg disability.
He stepped forward to examine his father carefully, and his face soon darkened.
If it had been just a broken leg two years ago, he could have treated it, but two years had passed, and without proper treatment, the bones in his father's legs had necrosed.
To heal them, a large amount of spiritual energy was needed. At the very least, he had to officially enter the stage of Qi Cultivation and become a genuine cultivator to heal them.
Now, although his body had been transformed, he was still merely a mortal and somewhat powerless.
"It seems that I have no choice but to agree to Third Master's request for help with seeding!"
Li Fei thought to himself. There was a cultivation technique in his memory called the Joyous Union Technique, which could be practiced through intimate relations.
This was, at present, the only technique that seemed suitable for Li Fei!
But he couldn't practice this technique alone; it required a partner of the opposite sex.
Now, who could be more suitable than Ruan Xiangling?
With these thoughts, Li Fei immediately got up and said to his father, "Dad, I've taken a look. It's not too serious. I have a way to cure it, but it will take some time. Please wait a little longer!"
Li Zhenyun didn't really expect Li Fei could heal his legs. Hearing this, he encouraged, "It's the thought that counts!"
Chen Huixian expressed her concerns, "Your dad's legs can wait, but what's urgent now is how to earn that hundred thousand yuan."
"If we can't come up with the money in a week, Liu Dabao, that beast, will surely bring people to make trouble again."
"Mom, don't worry, leave this to me. I'll figure something out!" Li Fei said immediately, and after reassuring his mother some more, he returned to his room to think about how to make money using the memories he had obtained today.
"I've got it!"
At some point, Li Fei's eyes lit up, and a hint of joy appeared on his face. He remembered a celestial technique from his memories called the Spirit Wood Art, used in his past life to ripen immortal herbs and fruits.
If this celestial technique could ripen even immortal herbs and fruits, then surely accelerating the ripening of some fruits would be well within its capabilities.
The main crop his family grew were strawberries, covering three acres, and local strawberries usually ripened in July.
But now it was only May. If he could ripen the strawberries early, wouldn't they be out-of-season fruits?
They would definitely fetch a good price!
With these thoughts, Li Fei excitedly jumped out of bed and rushed towards his family's strawberry field at the west end of the village.
"Ah, there's a snake!"
Just as Li Fei was about to reach his family's strawberry field, a sharp scream suddenly came from another plot of land not far away.
Li Fei turned his head to look and saw a woman in her thirties, dressed in a floral dress, with a lovely face and a voluptuous figure, who had fallen to the ground.
This woman was none other than Liu Dabao's wife, Han Hanjuan!
