Chapter 179 Unaware of Just How Terrifying His Combat Power Was
"Yes, I know, big sister, but you're working too hard. I want to become more capable as soon as possible so I can help you!" Yuhan said with concern.
"You're already amazing. What family has such a smart little sister like Yuhan? And I'm not tired at all. I even find it quite enjoyable to do more things."
My family is all wonderful; I don't need to put in too much effort. Everyone just needs to follow their own plans and work hard step by step.
When Liu Fengyi returned home, dinner was ready. The family sat around a round table, with the three elders at the head of the table, and Tong Yuheng sat down next to his father.
Of the seven sisters, she, the daughter who knew the truth, was the closest to this "new father." Then there was Harper, who was still young and longed for a father's love.
The family finished their meal happily and chatted about what had happened in the past few days. Suddenly, Xiao Liu mentioned that she had once seen Fan Yaqing sneaking off to the next village in the evening.
Out of curiosity, she quietly followed and found a woman contacting her. The woman looked somewhat like her mother, Sun Xianglan, but she was older, thinner, and darker-skinned than Sun Xianglan.
"Xiao Liu, when did you see it? Why didn't you tell me?" Tong Jiahui asked.
She knew very well that Sun Xianglan was a vicious and wicked woman, and Xiao Liu was still a child. What if they were discovered and something happened to him if he followed them?
Tong Yuheng: Was the person Xiao Liu saw really Sun Xianglan? Wasn't she missing?
"Just yesterday, I was going to tell you when I got home, Mom, that you and my second sister had to grade homework and prepare lessons, but I completely forgot about it."
Yu Xuan grinned. She knew the Fan family wasn't good people; even if she forgot about it yesterday, she'd remember it today and tell her family. She didn't realize that following Fan Yaqing would put her in danger, which worried her mother and sisters.
Because Tong Jiahui is preparing to take over her daughter's math teacher job, she has been intensively studying pedagogy and teaching methods, helping her daughter grade homework, and getting familiar with the various situations of the students Yuyao teaches.
If this goes through, it'll probably keep Chenjiatun in the news for a while. I've heard of children taking over their parents' jobs, but I've never heard of a mother taking over her daughter's. Things in the Tong family are always unpredictable!
Tong Jiahui had to work during the day and was busy with the teacher replacement arrangements, so she didn't pay much attention to anything else. Who knew that Xiao Liu would dare to do something so dangerous without even reporting it immediately!
"I'll go look for her tomorrow and see if it really is Sun Xianglan. I wonder where she went after she disappeared last year? She's a wanted fugitive, we can't let her get away with it!" Liu Fengyi quickly took over the task.
"Dad, it's really more suitable for you to go, since Sun Xianglan doesn't know you. But you also need to be careful of her, don't underestimate her just because she's a small woman," Tong Yuheng instructed him.
"You're so busy right now, do you even have time to follow them yourself? Don't you have any other things to do at work? Besides, Sun Xianglan doesn't know you, and Fan Yaqing doesn't know you either. I think you should let your subordinates keep an eye on them. Catching fugitives isn't our family's private business," Tong Jiahui objected.
"That's true. I'll go back and discuss it with Jin Liang, and have him send someone to investigate secretly. You all should also be careful of the Fan siblings these next few days." Liu Fengyi nodded in agreement and reminded his daughters.
After dinner, the whole family started a meeting, and Tong Yuheng began to seriously talk to them about the Ancient Martial Arts Association.
Because of the health-enhancing pills, her family has already attracted attention, so she plans to register as an ancient martial arts family under the name Qing Shi Tong and sell these pills in limited quantities.
The family head will be registered as Tong Anfu, and she will be the young head. They will both have the authority to make decisions regarding the Tong family's affairs from now on. Their family doesn't favor sons over daughters, nor do they care what surname their daughters' children will bear; as long as they diligently practice martial arts and inherit the family tradition, they can become leaders.
Although Tong Yuchen is also practicing martial arts, she has been progressing slower than her cousins recently due to the lack of guidance from her older cousin. The family does not plan to register the names of Tong Jiaming's family among the martial artists.
As for Liu Fengyi, since he works at the Public Security Bureau and knows some martial arts, they no longer register him as a martial arts practitioner to avoid affecting his future career development.
The Tong family only sells this one type of health-strengthening pill; the others are kept secret and used secretly by their own family members. Moreover, the eldest sister instructed them to say that she had been practicing martial arts since she was five or six years old, not just in the last year or so.
Otherwise, if the Tong family had practiced ancient martial arts for over a year and produced several disciples at the initial stage of martial arts mastery, wouldn't that have blown up the ancient martial arts world?! You know, many families' scions train for eight or ten years and still might not become martial arts masters with internal energy!
"In short, the Ancient Martial Arts Association cannot completely control these ancient martial arts families. The struggles and resource plundering among them still exist. It's not that all problems can be resolved by a single duel. Underhanded schemes and cunning seizures are not uncommon."
Tong Yuheng recounted her experiences over the past two days, even sharing her duel with the Han family as Dong Wuyou. Of course, she didn't reveal that she was Dong Wuyou.
She entrusted the sale of the pills to Grandpa Li and also gave her mother five thousand yuan for household expenses, claiming it was money earned from this batch of pills.
She had already mentioned that the ancient martial arts families were offering fifty yuan per pill, but since they would provide the medicinal herbs and processing, Grandpa Li would only charge forty yuan, and any extra would be given to the delivery person. If they could provide a large quantity of medicinal herbs, the Tong family would only charge ten yuan for the additional herbs and processing fee.
"Wow! These pills are so valuable! Then the pills we use must be several times more expensive!" Linglong felt more motivated to help roll the pills that night.
"We can't let that thing show itself! Just think about how quickly they can improve a martial artist's strength. If those people find out that our family made it, will we still have any peace and quiet? We might all be in mortal danger!"
The establishment of the Ancient Martial Arts Association was a last resort. The country needed to bring these people under its management. However, many ancient martial arts practitioners or families did not participate or simply ignored the association's rules.
In short, the ancient martial arts world is a special group that values strength above all else, and it's extremely dangerous. This one kind of medicine is enough for our family to obtain cultivation resources; we don't need to be too conspicuous.
"I understand, elder sister. After I am recruited, I will only show that I know a little bit of boxing. I will not show my real skills."
Yu Yao had just cultivated her inner strength and entered the ranks of martial artists; she had no idea just how terrifying her martial prowess truly was. If she were to strike with all her might, she could definitely kill a wild boar!
"Are we all considered members of an ancient martial arts family now? Does that mean we can beat up anyone who provokes us without breaking the law?" Xiao Liu and Linglong's eyes gleamed with excitement.
