Starting From The Equal Opportunity To Become A Saint

252. Chapter 252 Blessings And Disasters!

Liu Zimo stood in the shadows, quietly witnessing the rural brawl in the village.

Seeing that Liu Yun, the little girl, was unexpectedly brave, he couldn't help but shake his head slightly.

This little girl, while brave, had almost no combat experience to speak of.

If it weren't for the fact that the spiritual power of the spiritual fruit in her body had not been completely refined, just the palm strike from earlier would have been enough to leave her heavily injured like Liu Sheng.

In fact, not only Liu Yun, even Cui Yuan's fighting style seemed extremely immature in Liu Zimo's eyes.

At least, compared to their battles with various demonic beasts in the earthly realm, the current brawl and conflict in front of him seemed like child's play, with no excitement at all.

After watching for a while, Liu Yun's reckless fighting style had already worn down Cui Yuan's strength, gradually gaining the upper hand.

Liu Zimo knew that the outcome of the battle was already determined, and there was no need for him to intervene.

Sure enough.

Just a few breaths later.

Liu Yun, who had endured five or six strikes, took advantage of Cui Yuan's exhaustion and suddenly kicked him.

Bang!

The kick landed directly on Cui Yuan's lower abdomen, the force penetrating his body, causing him to be disabled!

Watching Cui Yuan clutching his stomach and rolling on the ground, howling in pain, Liu Sheng, Liu Chang, Liu Jian, and others were dumbfounded, as if they were in a daydream, foolishly watching everything happening before their eyes.

The people from the Cui family were the same, all staring dumbfounded at Cui Yuan on the ground, and simultaneously stopped their attacks, retreating to one side.

No one had expected that in the end, it would be their Cui family's peak Body Refining cultivators who would fall.

Now, both of their peak Body Refining cultivators were heavily injured and lying on the ground, while Liu Family's peak Body Refining cultivator remained unscathed.

How could they continue the fight?

Even if they joined forces, they would definitely not be a match for the peak Body Refining cultivators on the other side!

"Young Master, what should we do next?"

"Even Second Master Cui has been defeated. If we continue fighting, none of us will be able to go back tonight!"

The group of Cui family's villagers and thugs gathered around Cui Jizu, quietly pleading.

Cui Jizu's face darkened as he coldly said, "Do you need to remind me? This young master's eyes are not blind, can't I see it?"

"What bad luck!"

"Go, carry Second Uncle and Third Uncle back first, and then we'll discuss it!"

With Cui Jizu's command, dozens of people from the Cui family carried the heavily injured Cui Yuan, Cui Hua, and other injured members, and left in a sorry state.

They had originally thought that with the simultaneous appearance of their two peak Body Refining cultivators, they would surely be able to crush the Liu Family's prestige and return in triumph.

Who could have expected that a peak Body Refining cultivator in the form of a little girl would suddenly appear on their way?

Not only did she ruin their plans, but she also disabled their peak Body Refining cultivators, forcing them to flee from the Liu Family, losing all their prestige!

It was a classic case of stealing a chicken only to end up losing the rice, a complete embarrassment!

Behind them, Liu Yun had a look of eagerness, as if she wanted to take advantage of the victory and charge forward to teach these people a lesson they would never forget.

However, she was promptly stopped by Old Mountain Elder Liu Chang.

"Yuner, don't pursue a defeated enemy!"

"Now that they have retreated, there's no need for us to exterminate them."

Liu Yun stopped in her tracks upon hearing this, turning around with a puzzled expression on her face.

"Why, Grandfather, do we allow them to bully us? Are we not allowed to teach them a lesson?"

In the past, when we couldn't defeat them, it was understandable to endure silently.

But now that we can defeat them, why not keep those scoundrels and teach them a lesson?

If we don't hurt these people, they will definitely come back in the future!

However, Liu Chang shook his head with a gloomy expression.

"You don't understand. The Cui family has connections with the government, and there are people in our clan who have joined the immortal sect. We can't offend them too much."

"Ten years ago, why was Zhaojiatun completely slaughtered overnight, not even a baby left?"

"Do you really think it was the demons and monsters as the government claimed?"

"The real reason was that the warriors of Zhaojiatun accidentally injured the third son of the Cui family, which brought about the disaster of the village being wiped out!"

The words of the old mountain elder shocked many villagers who were still excited about defeating the Cui family, and they couldn't help but feel a sense of fear.

Some of the older villagers had heard of the massacre in Zhaojiatun.

But they never thought that the true reason for the village's destruction was because they had injured the third son of the Cui family.

Until now, they suddenly realized why from the beginning of the battle, the old mountain elder repeatedly warned them not to attack Cui Jizu, who was obviously not very powerful.

Because among the enemies from the Cui family, only Cui Jizu could be considered a direct descendant of the Cui family!

"But, but this is unfair!"

Liu Yun frowned, looking dissatisfied.

"Are they only allowed to bully us, steal our food and prey, while we have to sit idly by?"

"In this world, is there such a reason?!"

Liu Yun's words expressed the feelings of most young people in the village, feeling that it was too unfair.

"When has anything in this world been truly fair?"

The old mountain elder sighed and stroked his beard.

"Little girl, you're still young, so you feel unjust in your heart."

"When you grow up and experience more, you will understand that being alive is more important than so-called fairness!"

"Alright, the crisis is over. Fortunately, our village's food and prey are still intact, and we haven't suffered much loss. Everyone can disperse now!"

The old mountain elder waved his hand to dismiss the crowd and instructed Liu Hui, Liu Jian, and others to carry the heavily injured Liu Sheng back to their own courtyard for recuperation.

Then, the old mountain elder finally had the opportunity to take his granddaughter aside, holding her hand, and asked her with a serious tone.

"Yuner, honestly tell Grandfather, how did you suddenly reach the peak of Body Refining? When did you have a breakthrough?"

"Just now!"

Liu Yun didn't hide anything from her grandfather.

She detailed the story of how she obtained the Dragon Scale Fruit from Liu Zimo and broke through to the peak of Body Refining with the help of the spiritual power in the fruit.

"Grandfather, we really have to thank Brother Liu. If he hadn't given me the spiritual fruit given to him by the immortal, I wouldn't have been able to break through to the peak of Body Refining so quickly."

"If I hadn't reached the peak of Body Refining, not only would Liu Sheng have been crippled, but our village's winter food would also be lost..."

Upon hearing his granddaughter's account, the old mountain elder nodded slightly.

However, the doubt between his eyebrows was not resolved, and his frown deepened.

What little Yun'er said was reasonable and logical.

However, it does not conform to human nature at all.

Because under normal circumstances, no one would be willing to give away the blessings bestowed by immortals to others for free.

Elder Shanzhang himself believed that the two bowls of minced meat and a piece of rabbit meat they gave to Liu Zimo were far inferior to the immortal fruit bestowed by the immortal.

In any case, if it were him, he would rather send a fortune afterwards to repay the favor of that meal, and would never easily give away the immortal opportunity he had obtained to others.

That immortal fruit allowed Xiaoyun to directly break through from the fifth realm of Body Refining to the peak of Body Refining, and even defeated the veteran peak of Body Refining like Cui Yuan in one fell swoop, which shows its preciousness.

So, Elder Shanzhang really couldn't understand what Liu Zimo was thinking and what he was planning.

If it weren't for his granddaughter benefiting greatly from it and resolving the almost certain defeat of their Liu family tonight.

Elder Shanzhang even suspected that Liu Zimo wanted to harm them.

"Where is he?" Elder Shanzhang asked his granddaughter, "I want to thank him in person!"

Liu Yun said, "After Brother Liu gave me the spiritual fruit, he went back to his room and rested. He hasn't come out since!"

Elder Shanzhang nodded knowingly, glanced at the east wing, and walked straight over with Liu Yun, coming to the door and gently knocking.

"Is Brother Liu asleep?"

"I have something to ask him in person. I wonder if Brother Liu can open the door first?"

There was silence in the room, and there was no response at all.

Seeing this, Elder Shanzhang raised his hand to knock again, but was stopped by Liu Yun.

"Grandpa, Brother Liu is obviously already asleep. Can't we talk about it tomorrow?"

Elder Shanzhang sighed lightly, "Tomorrow, I'm afraid it will be too late!"

Liu Yun was stunned and didn't quite understand what her grandfather meant.

"Girl, I just said that the people from Cuijia Fort can't be easily offended. If you had just severely injured Cui Yuan, maybe there wouldn't be much of a problem."

"But with that kick of yours, you directly destroyed his dantian and ruined his cultivation. This is equivalent to breaking one of Cuijia Fort's arms. How can they let it go?"

"And, you're only thirteen years old and have already reached the peak of Body Refining. You've shown too much brilliance!"

"Remember, a tree that stands out in the forest will be destroyed by the wind. If the people from Cuijia Fort know that our Liu family has produced a genius like a golden phoenix, guess what they will do next?"

"Either they will directly kill you, or they will forcefully marry you into the Cuijia Fort and make you their own, there will be no third option!"

Upon hearing this, Liu Yun's face changed.

Such as being disabled in cultivation or being forcibly married to Cuijia Fort, neither of these results were what she wanted.

"Grandpa, what should I do now?"

"If it really doesn't work, I'll take the initiative and rush to Cuijia Fort overnight and cripple them all, let's see if they dare to have any ideas about me!"

With blood boiling, the little girl wanted to break the net with Cuijia Fort.

After advancing in cultivation, her confidence continued to swell, with a feeling of fearlessness.

Upon hearing this, Elder Shanzhang couldn't help but glare at the little girl.

If Cuijia Fort was so easy to deal with, how could they have been domineering here for decades without falling?

If they really offended them, it would be their Liu family that would suffer in the end.

The tragedy of Zhaojiatun being wiped out overnight ten years ago must not happen to their Liu family!

Clap! Clap! Clap!

Old Shan Zhang couldn't help but raise his hand again and knock on Liu Zimo's door.

Creak~!

Liu Zimo yawned and opened the door from inside, apologizing, "I'm sorry, I was sleeping deeply and didn't hear the knocking. I apologize for keeping Old Shan Zhang waiting!"

"It's alright, it's alright!" Old Shan Zhang waved his hand repeatedly and said, "It's my rudeness to disturb your good dream in the middle of the night. I hope you won't mind!"

While speaking, Old Shan Zhang carefully examined Liu Zimo once again.

After confirming that Liu Zimo was still an ordinary person without any cultivation, he finally felt relieved.

He was really worried that Liu Zimo deliberately gave a spiritual fruit to Liu Yun as a hidden calculation, with ill intentions.

Now, seeing that Liu Zimo was still the same as before, appearing honest, weak, and powerless, he couldn't help but feel much more at ease.

"I wonder what Old Shan Zhang has to instruct me for, coming to find me in the middle of the night?" Liu Zimo asked directly.

Old Shan Zhang said, "Mainly, I wanted to personally thank Young Master Liu for saving our lives!"

"If it weren't for Young Master Liu's righteousness in giving the spiritual fruit that Immortal Gang just gave to Yun'er, allowing her to break through to the peak of the Body Refining realm, our Liu family village would be in trouble today!"

"On behalf of Yun'er and the more than two hundred villagers of our Liu family village, I thank Young Master Liu!"

As he spoke, Old Shan Zhang bowed deeply to Liu Zimo.

Liu Zimo waved his hand repeatedly and said, "Old Shan Zhang, please don't do this. I gave the spiritual fruit to repay your kindness in saving my life during the day!"

"If we really want to express gratitude, it should be me thanking Old Shan Zhang!"

"If it weren't for Old Shan Zhang giving me a bowl of porridge during the day, I would have starved to death on the side of the road. Even if I had the spiritual fruit, it would have been useless!"

"So, don't just think of it as a spiritual fruit. Even if it's something precious, as long as it can help Old Shan Zhang and Miss Yun'er, I won't hesitate to give it!"

Liu Zimo spoke sincerely and without any pretense, which moved Old Shan Zhang.

As someone who had lived for half a lifetime and had seen many hypocritical and deceitful people, Old Shan Zhang believed that he had a good eye for judging people.

From Liu Zimo's words and eyes, he saw endless gratitude and sincerity.

This young man wasn't lying!

Old Shan Zhang felt that he had probably been too suspicious and doubted Liu Zimo's intentions.

The person in front of him, Liu Zimo, was truly an honest person, repaying a drop of water with a gushing spring!

Therefore, that spiritual fruit was most likely a sincere gift from Liu Zimo.

However, this gift was too heavy, and their Liu family couldn't bear it.

Yun'er obtaining the spiritual fruit and breaking through to the peak of the Body Refining realm, and driving away all the enemies of the Liu family village, was undoubtedly a great thing.

But fortune often hides misfortune.

This matter had already been known by the people of Cuijia Fort. If something went wrong, it would bring disaster to Yun'er and the entire Liu family village!

"Let's not say anything else!"

Old Shan Zhang raised his hand and patted Liu Zimo's shoulder forcefully, saying firmly, "Without hiding it from Young Master Liu, our Liu family village has become a place of trouble. We can no longer let Young Master Liu stay here for long!"

"While it's still not bright and the disaster hasn't arrived, Young Master, please pack up and leave the Liu family village with Yun'er!"

Old Shan Zhang directly issued an order to expel Liu Zimo.

Not only did he want to ask Liu Zimo to leave the Liu family village, but he also wanted to send away his granddaughter, Liu Yun. (End of this chapter)
