Dog Brother transmigrates into Lin Pingzhi: The Tai Xuan Scripture suppresses all nations

Shi Potian was practicing the Sleeping Arhat Skill, and his internal energy was flowing automatically in his meridians. The Yin internal energy of the man in the bamboo hat had also benefited him, and he felt that his cultivation was steadily increasing.

The Tai Xuan Scripture's perception of realms is unparalleled; the extremely faint strange sound outside the courtyard instantly reached its ears.

Without opening his eyes, he sensed who the person was through his mental perception.

It's Miss Yue.

Shi Potian felt relieved, withdrew his internal energy, silently turned over and got up, his steps as light as a falling leaf. Without touching the door, he pushed open the window and leaped out.

The Liu mansion was lavish, with several lanterns still hanging outside late at night. Even in late spring, Hengshan City still carried a chill in the air. Moonlight spilled into the courtyard, illuminating the pale figure standing beneath the osmanthus tree—it was Yue Lingshan.

When she saw that Shi Potian had indeed come out, a hint of joy flashed in her eyes, but she quickly concealed it and gently waved to him.

Shi Potian strode forward and lowered his voice, "Miss Yue, what brings you here?"

"I heard from my senior brother that you had returned to the courtyard, so I came looking for you." Yue Lingshan looked around, tugged at his sleeve, and walked towards the secluded rockery deep inside the Liu residence. "This place is too close to your parents' residence. Don't wake them up."

The two walked briskly through several garden paths to a deserted lotus pond. The pond water reflected the moonlight, shimmering with a cold light. All around was quiet, save for the soft rustling of bamboo leaves in the wind.

Yue Lingshan stopped, looked up at Shi Potian, took out a paper package from her bosom, and handed it to him, saying, "Here you go."

Shi Potian took it and opened it, only to find it was a roast chicken.

Shi Potian laughed and said, "You stayed up all night just to bring me this?"

Yue Lingshan blushed, but fortunately it was late at night and no one was afraid of seeing her. She said angrily, "Who told you to make me angry? You didn't even attend the banquet. I was afraid you would go hungry and blame it on me."

Shi Potian said, "I'm not hungry. I've eaten quite a lot and even drunk some good wine. Didn't your senior brother tell you?"

"My senior only told me that he saw you playing with a girl outside, and he didn't say anything else."

Little did she know that Linghu Chong was also in a difficult position. He couldn't very well tell her that he had met Shi Potian at the brothel and they had even watched a performance by a courtesan together. Linghu Chong had no choice but to give her a vague answer.

"Why haven't you come back for so long?" Yue Lingshan continued. "Are you angry with me? And who is that little girl?"

A barrage of questions left Shi Potian overwhelmed.

Shi Potian laughed: "Why would I be angry with you? It's good that you're not angry with me."

Yue Lingshan gave a satisfied hum: "Good that you know. And who is that little girl?"

As the two were speaking in hushed tones, just as Shi Potian was about to explain the girl's background, a dark figure suddenly swept over from outside the courtyard where the Fuwei Escort Agency was staying. The figure moved with the speed of a ghost, landing silently on the old locust tree outside the courtyard. The branches swayed slightly, yet no sound was made.

The shadowy figure lay in wait for a moment, then picked up a sizable stone and threw it with all its might. The stone slammed hard against the wooden gate of the courtyard with a muffled thud that was particularly clear in the quiet of the night.

"Who?!" Lin Zhennan's wary question immediately rang out from inside the courtyard.

Immediately following were the sounds of clothes rustling and bodyguards shouting. Lin Zhennan and Madam Wang put on their clothes, got up, picked up their swords, and quickly went out of the room to investigate. The courtyard instantly erupted into chaos.

Seeing that the diversionary tactic had succeeded, the dark figure leaped over the courtyard wall and went straight into the room of Lin Zhennan and his wife through the window. After scanning the surroundings, he soon spotted the luggage on the bedside table and grabbed it.

Without hesitation, he turned around and went out through the window again, then slipped through the window into the side room where Shi Potian was temporarily staying, and began searching for his belongings.

Suddenly, he sensed something amiss in the room. Looking up, he saw a person dressed entirely in black, with a mask on, standing in the corner of the room, his hand gripping Shi Potian's bag!

The two thieves bumped into each other and were both startled. The man in black who had arrived first reacted the fastest, drawing his sword without a word and thrusting it at the other man in black.

The masked man who followed was unarmed and, unable to defend himself against the incoming sword, grabbed his bundle and tried to flee. The first man in black, however, refused to give way, drawing his sword to intercept him. Immediately, fists, palms, and swords clashed, and the sounds of fighting rang out, completely exposing their presence.

"You audacious thief, how dare you invade again!"

Madam Wang gave a stern shout.

Lin Zhennan, carrying a long sword, and his wife broke down the door together. Swords and blades crisscrossed as they charged at the two men in black. The four of them immediately engaged in a fierce battle in the side room, with tables and chairs shattering and objects flying everywhere.

The man in black with the sword blocked two moves of Lin Zhennan's Evil-Repelling Sword Technique and was surprised to find that the other party's swordsmanship was quite remarkable, quite different from the rumors.

Lin Zhennan and his wife wielded their longswords and golden knives with lightning speed. The black-clad man holding the sword realized that the situation was very unfavorable. He didn't have time to snatch Shi Potian's baggage anymore. He feinted with his sword to force the crowd away, grabbed Lin Zhennan and his wife's baggage with one hand, jumped out of the window, and ran away.

The masked man, unarmed, followed suit and struck out with a palm, the wind howling and forcing Lin Zhennan and his wife back. He then grabbed Shi Potian's bag and rushed out after him.

Lin Zhennan and Madam Wang were furious and also went out through the window to give chase.

Just as the two men in black crossed the courtyard, two more dark figures suddenly sprang out from the trees, blocking their path from the left and right—the one on the left was a lean, masked man wielding a sword, while the one on the right was a large, unarmed man in black.

Without a word, the two men rushed forward to snatch the package. The six of them were instantly entangled in a fierce battle, with flashing swords and whistling fists and palms, making it difficult to determine who was the better fighter.

Lin Zhennan shouted, "Who are you all? Hiding yourselves like this, are you afraid of being recognized?"

Throughout the entire ordeal, not a single man in black spoke; they simply fought amongst themselves in silence.

The commotion immediately alerted Shi Potian, who was standing by the lotus pond. Startled, he urgently said to Yue Lingshan, "Miss Yue, something has happened to my parents!"

Before he finished speaking, he darted towards the courtyard like an arrow, and moments later saw four men in black fighting with Lin Zhennan and his wife behind the courtyard.

From afar, Shi Potian shouted loudly, "Don't hurt my father and mother!"

The first man in black with a sword was taken aback when he saw Shi Potian approaching from afar, not expecting him to arrive so quickly.

Knowing that the young man's martial arts skills were unfathomable, he immediately tossed the bundle containing Lin Zhennan and his wife to the black-clad man with the sword who had followed him, and then darted into the night like a startled swan, disappearing without a trace.

The second man in black did the same thing without hesitation. Like a frightened bird, he threw the package containing Shi Potian to another fat man in black who came later, and then fled in panic.

When the two masked men saw Shi Potian return, they were startled. They dared not take his luggage, nor did they dare to linger. They turned and ran away, disappearing in the blink of an eye.

Lin Zhennan and his wife easily caught the two packages.

The next moment, Shi Potian appeared in front of Lin Zhennan and his wife and said:

"I didn't expect they all wanted to steal the sword manual."
