Courtyard House: Wudang Disciple Sweeps Through the Compound

Jia Zhangshi, stop causing trouble at my doorstep!

"You fell into the latrine by accident while walking, what does it have to do with me? You want me to pay you back? You must be dreaming!" Yan Bugui stood at his door, his face turning pale with anger, and couldn't help but shout back.

He felt incredibly frustrated.

If he hadn't discovered her in time yesterday and shouted for help, Jia Zhangshi would probably have drowned in the cesspool long ago. Now, not only is she ungrateful for saving her life, but she's also trying to extort money from him. It's like being at home when trouble comes out of nowhere. Who did she offend?

"I don't care! If it wasn't you, who else could it be? It must be you behind this!" Jia Zhangshi shouted shrilly, acting completely unreasonable. As soon as she finished speaking, she plopped down on the steps in front of Yan Bugui's house and started throwing a tantrum.

Old Jia, please show your power and take away Yan Bugui, who bullied us orphans and widows!

He's really bullying people!

While slapping her thighs and wailing, Jia Zhangshi shouted at the top of her lungs, making a scene that was as unsightly as could be.

As soon as Chen Wenqi and his two siblings stepped into the courtyard, they were met with a chaotic scene of chickens running wild and dogs barking.

Chen Wenqi acted decisively, immediately reaching out to grab his younger siblings behind him, carefully bypassing the tantrum-throwing Jia Zhangshi, and hurriedly walking towards the backyard.

He knew perfectly well that Jia Zhangshi was an absolute scoundrel. Once he got involved with her, he would definitely be in big trouble. So he decided to stay far away from her to avoid getting entangled with her and getting himself into trouble for no reason.

If you don't pay me back, I'm going to the police station right now to call the police and have you arrested!

I'm going to sue you for intentional assault, and I'll let the police deal with you!

After crying and wailing for a long time, seeing that Yan Bugui still ignored her, Jia Zhangshi lost her confidence and had no choice but to threaten him by calling the police.

Go ahead and call the police!

I have nothing to fear if I am upright and honest. I am not afraid of the police investigating things I have not done!

Yan Bugui remained unmoved, his face cold as he retorted in a chilling voice, "Get out of my door and stop making a racket here!"

Chen Wenqi ignored the noise in the yard the whole time, and just held his younger brother and sister's hands, walking quickly towards his home.

"You're back."

As soon as the mother saw the three siblings push open the door and enter, she quickly put down the book she was holding, rushed forward, and hugged the youngest girl into her arms, gently asking her questions in a soft voice.

"Mom, I'm hungry."

The little girl nestled softly in her mother's warm embrace, tilting her head up and speaking in a gentle voice.

"Hey, you've only been out for a short time, how come you're hungry so soon?"

A gentle smile spread across the mother's face as she reached out and gently pinched the little girl's chubby cheeks, her voice filled with undisguised affection.

Seeing this, Chen Wenqi quickly stepped forward and took over the conversation: "Mom, we practiced kung fu at Jingshan Park for quite a while, and we used up a lot of energy, so we got hungry faster than usual. Please prepare more for lunch; the three of us siblings can eat it all today."

"Okay, what's the problem?"

The mother smiled and nodded, readily agreeing, "I'll go to the kitchen right away and get busy making you something delicious to nourish your bodies."

"By the way, Mom, after lunch I'm thinking of going to a classmate's house to play for a while, so I might be back later than usual."

Chen Wenqi suddenly remembered the arrangements that had been made that afternoon, and quickly looked up to explain the situation to his mother.

"Okay, go ahead if you want to. Just be careful out there, walk carefully, and don't stay out too late."

The mother didn't ask any questions, just gave a few detailed instructions, and then readily agreed.

"Okay, Mom, I'll be careful."

Chen Wenqi nodded obediently and answered earnestly, looking very well-behaved and sensible.

On the other side, Jia Zhangshi shouted outside Yan Bugui's house for a full half hour.

Even after her voice became hoarse and dry from shouting, the Yan family's gate remained tightly closed, and no one came out to pay her any attention.

Despite her deep resentment, she was so exhausted that her mouth was dry and she didn't even have the strength to utter another curse.

Helpless, she could only mutter curses and grumble as she struggled to her feet, her legs still numb. She dragged her exhausted body home slowly, collapsed onto the bed, and fell fast asleep.

Now that Yi Zhonghai is injured and hospitalized, the strong backer who used to stand up for her has fallen. Even if she wants to continue making trouble, she no longer has the confidence she used to have.

After much thought, the only option was to wait until Yi Zhonghai recovered and was discharged from the hospital before asking him to help confront Yan Bugui and demand an explanation.

After lunch, Chen Wenqi greeted his mother and younger siblings carefully before turning around and leaving alone.

He walked out of Nanluoguxiang at a leisurely pace, strolling slowly towards Shichahai.

Chen Wenqi walked slowly along the way, and before he knew it, he had arrived in the vicinity of Prince Gong's Mansion.

He inquired carefully with passersby and learned that the Prince Gong's Mansion had long since become the site of an art research institute and a music academy.

The mansion is usually very busy with people coming and going, and its daily management is quite strict. It is not open to the public for visits or tours.

But Chen Wenqi did not turn away. Instead, he slowly walked around the tall outer wall of the Prince Gong's Mansion.

At the same time, he secretly activated his spiritual power to carefully examine the ground beneath his feet, trying to find the legendary treasures hidden beneath the Prince Gong's Mansion.

Unfortunately, even after walking around the entire outer wall of the Prince's Mansion, he still couldn't find any trace of the underground treasure vault.

This is mainly because his current mental power coverage is still very limited, only able to detect an area of ​​about ten meters around his body.

To accurately locate the legendary treasures within Prince Gong's Mansion, one would likely need to enter the mansion itself for a more detailed investigation.

However, Chen Wenqi was not in a hurry about this matter at all.

He clearly remembered that in his previous life, the treasures of Prince Gong's Mansion were not discovered by chance until 2008.

There will be many more opportunities to explore in the future. It will not be too late to enter Prince Gong's Mansion for a thorough investigation when the right opportunity arises.

After leaving the vermilion gate of Prince Gong's Mansion, Chen Wenqi waited briefly at the bus stop on the street before boarding the No. 2 bus heading towards the Ming Tombs.
