Chapter 204 Tong Yuyao becomes a war correspondent writing articles with a pen.
The junior disciples of Tong Yuheng who were waiting for orders consciously followed the Han family back to help their senior sister take over and organize the Han family's accumulated wealth over the years. They also secretly investigated evidence of the Han family's bullying of the weak and murder of ordinary people without cause, and handed the evidence over to the law enforcement department of the Ancient Martial Arts Association so that they could be punished according to the rules.
The Han family is truly finished this time; it's not just a matter of being crippled. From now on, the Han family descendants must learn to behave themselves, or they won't suffer too much. But if they continue to be unruly, just as their ancestor said, their entire family will be wiped out!
After this battle, news that the Qing Shi Tong family might possess a Xiantian martial artist, and that all the Tong family girls were highly skilled in martial arts, spread throughout the entire ancient martial arts world in an instant. For a time, various families were both curious and wary, all inquiring about their whereabouts.
Meanwhile, Huanxi Dong Wuyou suddenly rose to fame as a lone wolf. The reason was that she possessed several elixirs that were highly effective in enhancing a martial artist's cultivation or healing their injuries.
As confirmed by Qiu Lancheng, the young master of the Qiu family, the pills were extremely effective, with immediate results. However, the quantity of pills was very limited. They received a few as a gift from Master Dong and gave them to several elders who were in the bottleneck period after returning home. As a result, the Qiu family suddenly gained three more Martial Grandmaster level experts!
This news stunned the ancient martial arts world. Many old families who didn't like to get involved in things sent people to register, hoping to make contact with Dong Wuyou, the master of medicine.
Because so many people were looking for Dong Wuyou, the Ancient Martial Arts Association approached the Qiu family. Dong Wuyou temporarily asked them to pass on a message: he was preparing to entrust the Qiu family with the assistance of auctioning off a batch of pills before the Spring Festival, about four kinds, ten of each.
Auctions can be conducted through barter, and valuable medicinal herbs are welcome to be bid on. The medicinal herbs obtained from the auction will be stored in the Ancient Martial Arts Association, and the proceeds, including any monetary rewards, will be donated to national research institutions through the Ancient Martial Arts Association.
What she wanted to say was: the rise and fall of a nation is the responsibility of every citizen. Even martial artists have patriotism. She was advising the powerful invaders not to attack, otherwise, Dong Wuyou would personally go to their doorstep to seek revenge!
When Grandpa Li received the news that the Tong family had won the bet, he finally felt relieved and invited them to come over as guests. However, the Tong family had already gone to northern Hebei to receive the Han family's property.
Grandpa Tong decided to donate the gold, silver, and cash to Tong Yuyao's unit, keeping only the medicinal herbs and some miscellaneous cultivation techniques.
Their family had been implicated by various treasure-hunting rumors several times, and they didn't want to be bothered again because of having a lot of money! It would be a good opportunity to donate it to Yuyao to accumulate some merit.
Grandpa Tong also explained gently to everyone that his family only had one type of health-enhancing pill and didn't sell any other good medicines. Those who wanted more could contact the Ancient Martial Arts Association; their in-laws would help supply a limited quantity.
These pills are all handmade using special methods, making mass production impossible. We apologize for the supply shortage. The old man had no idea that Dong Wuyou was a tool created by his eldest granddaughter.
He also shamelessly shifted the blame, saying that Master Dong's pills were far superior to his own health-enhancing pills and far more beneficial to martial artists, something he himself couldn't make, and pleading with everyone not to force him to do anything. He perfectly embodied the principle of "better to die than to die for others."
Regarding the question of why the children of the Tong family generally have high martial arts skills, the old man Tong replied that it was simply because they started training their muscles and bones at the age of three to five and had good aptitude.
It's probably because her deceased son-in-law had good genes and was a martial arts prodigy that their daughter is so suited to martial arts. This is innate, and no one else can replicate it.
Tong Linsheng: I've been dragged out as a scapegoat again!
Tong Anfu: So what? That's all you're good for!
After gaining fame from this battle, the Tong family declined all visitors, stating that they just wanted to live a quiet life and had no intention of participating in the conflicts of the ancient martial arts world.
Tong Yuyao, far away in the southwest, received another huge package containing lots of food sent by her mother, and most importantly, bottles and jars of pills.
When she learned that her family had donated a large sum of money to the military, and that they had won it through a gambling war between ancient martial arts families, and that she had also been awarded a third-class merit, she was completely stunned.
She then learned that her family had been forced to fight by an ancient martial arts clan, and she was one of those bettors. It was a pity she hadn't participated; otherwise, she would have, like her sisters, utterly thrashed the Han family!
She was overjoyed to learn that Xiao Wu had actually defeated the Han family patriarch, becoming famous overnight, and had also won third place in the provincial high school physics competition before the new year!
She used her allowance to buy gifts for her family, including embroidered baby shoes, a local specialty. She added that when she went back on her family leave, her younger siblings would be crawling all over the place!
After completing her basic training, Yu Yao was assigned to the political department. She wasn't an arts and culture soldier, but a war correspondent who wrote articles with a pen!
Wang Haiyan was separated from her and assigned to the communications battalion. The two would get together during their rest periods. Wang Haiyan's family would often send her dried sweet potatoes, pickles, and the like, which she would share with Yuyao.
The two became very good friends and fellow townsmen in a foreign land. They also happily shared good news from their respective families.
Wang Haiyan's eldest sister is also pregnant, and the baby will be born in the fall. She knows that Tong Yuyao will soon have a younger brother or sister, and she wishes her to have two younger brothers.
Tong Yuyao's family did not publicize their donation, and she was awarded a third-class merit because she reported to the front line despite the danger.
Commander Zhao investigated Tong Yuyao's identity and discovered that her maternal grandmother, Zhao Ningshuang, was the younger sister he and his brother had been searching for for most of their lives!
However, he didn't tell Tong Yuyao about this news; he wanted to investigate the Tong family's situation further. But when he sent people to investigate, the Tong family's information had been classified as "top secret" by his superiors and could no longer be investigated.
This situation suggests they must be involved in something important, and the information being kept under wraps is a form of protection for them. It seems the family my sister married into is no ordinary family.
Indeed, how could a family that can raise such an outstanding girl be an ordinary family!
He asked his wife to pay more attention to the child, as she was his younger sister's granddaughter; they had finally found a blood relative.
He was heartbroken when he heard that his sister had passed away, but he was comforted when he learned that she had left behind a son, a daughter, two grandsons, and seven granddaughters.
Grandpa Zhao called his daughter in Northeast China and told her what he had found out. Zhao Xinhui then thought of Tong Yuheng, whom she had met twice on the train, and said that it was really because of blood ties that she felt familiar and close to them.
