Courtyard House: The Cultivation System Takes Me Flying

As night deepened, the courtyard house was plunged into darkness, with only a few households still lit by faint lights. The wind rustled through the treetops, adding to the tranquility.

Inside Qin Lindong's house, the lights were on, and the aroma of food still lingered in the air.

After breaking through to the second level of the Body Tempering Realm, his senses became even more acute. His hearing, vision, and perception were far beyond those of ordinary people. Even the slightest rustling in the courtyard could not escape his ears.

He could clearly hear Jia Zhangshi's suppressed sobs, Qin Huairu's sighs, and Jia Dongxu's indignant curses coming from inside the Jia family's house. However, all three of them kept their voices very low, obviously afraid that he would hear them and cause trouble again.

"Mom, stop crying. It's no use crying. That Qin Lindong is acting like a madman now. Nobody can afford to mess with him..." Qin Huairu's voice was filled with helplessness and fear.

"Can't afford to mess with him? I just let him beat me up like that? My face, my hands, they hurt so badly!" Jia Zhangshi choked back tears, her voice filled with resentment. "I'm not reconciled! Once my hands are healed, I'm going to the factory to report him and get the management to fire him!"

"What's the point of suing him!" Jia Dongxu roared irritably. "Even Uncle Yi couldn't do anything about him today. What good would it do if we went to the factory to sue him? Besides, we were the ones who took his grain first. If we make a scene at the factory, we'll be the ones who lose face!"

"So we're just going to let it go like this?" Madam Jia was unwilling to give up.

"What else can we do but forget about it? Do you want to get beaten up again?" Jia Dongxu said irritably. "Just stay away from him from now on and don't mess with him again!"

The family of three argued and bickered, full of resentment, yet they were helpless and could only swallow their bitterness.

Qin Lin listened to the sounds inside the house, a mocking smile curling at the corner of his lips.

Now you know fear?

late!

When the original owner was being oppressed by you, why didn't you think about today?

He didn't act immediately, but planned to wait until late at night, when everyone was asleep, before delivering the final blow to the Jia family and completing the system mission.

Just then, a soft footstep came from outside, heading straight for his house. The footsteps were steady and showed no malice.

Qin Lindong raised an eyebrow and immediately recognized the person who had just arrived—He Yuzhu.

What is he doing here so late?

Qin Lin got up, walked to the door, but didn't open it, waiting quietly.

Soon, a soft knock sounded on the door. He Yuzhu lowered his voice and whispered, "Brother Lin Dong, are you asleep? It's me, He Yuzhu."

Qin Lindong opened the door, looked at He Yuzhu outside, and asked calmly, "Master He, it's so late, is there something you need?"

He Yuzhu peeked around to make sure no one was watching before slipping into the house, closing the door behind him, and staring at Qin Lindong with curiosity, looking him up and down as if he were meeting him for the first time.

"Brother, I'm truly impressed! You were absolutely amazing today!" He Yuzhu said in a low voice, his face full of excitement. "First, you took care of Jia Dongxu, then you dislocated Jia Zhangshi's wrist, then you slapped Jia Zhangshi, and finally you shut that old bastard Yi Zhonghai up. I've lived in this courtyard for over twenty years, and I've never seen anything so satisfying!"

His eyes shone as he spoke, his face filled with admiration and curiosity.

In his memory, Qin Lindong had always been that taciturn, cowardly, and bullied orphan. He wouldn't even dare to raise his head to argue back, let alone hit someone.

But today, Qin Lindong was like a completely different person. He was fierce, tough, sharp-tongued, and ruthless. He dared to confront and fight anyone, which completely overturned his perception of him.

He couldn't contain his curiosity any longer, so he came over in the middle of the night to ask Qin Lindong what was going on.

Seeing He Yuzhu's curious expression, Qin Lindong understood his thoughts. He smiled faintly and didn't explain further, simply saying, "I didn't want to cause trouble before, but now they've forced me to live. I can't just let them bully me."

This reason was perfectly reasonable, and He Yuzhu immediately understood, nodding repeatedly.

"That's right! If it were me, I wouldn't have stood up for it either!" He Yuzhu slapped his thigh in agreement. "The Jia family is like an insatiable wolf. You were too docile before, which is why they dared to bully you. Now that you've stood up for yourself, they're afraid of you!"

He paused, then couldn't help but ask, "Brother, tell me the truth, where did you learn that strength and skill? You slapped Jia Zhangshi so hard she spun around, and kicked Jia Dongxu flying with one kick—that's amazing!"

In He Yuzhu's opinion, Qin Lindong's skills were comparable to those of a martial arts practitioner; otherwise, he couldn't possibly be that powerful.

Qin Lindong casually said, "I learned a couple of moves from a wandering master when I was a kid, but I've never used them before. I was forced to show them today."

This excuse was so perfect that He Yuzhu had no doubts whatsoever. He simply assumed that Qin Lindong was hiding his true abilities and admired him even more.

"I knew it! You're really skilled!" He Yuzhu laughed. "With your abilities, no one will dare bully you in the courtyard anymore!"

The two sat inside and chatted quietly. He Yuzhu told Qin Lindong all about the social interactions and intricacies of the courtyard, especially Yi Zhonghai's selfishness, Liu Haizhong's ambition for officialdom, and Yan Bugui's stinginess, explaining everything in detail.

Qin Lindong listened quietly, memorizing this information, which would be crucial for his future success in the courtyard house.

After chatting for more than half an hour, He Yuzhu finally got up to say goodbye. Before leaving, he patted his chest again and assured his brother, "Brother, if anything happens in the yard in the future, just come to me. I, He Yuzhu, may not be good at much else, but when it comes to fighting and backing you up, I'm definitely capable!"

"Thank you, Master He." Qin Lindong nodded in thanks.

After He Yuzhu left, the room returned to silence.

Qin Lindong stood at the door, watching He Yuzhu's departing figure, a hint of warmth flashing in his eyes.

In this courtyard full of beasts, He Yuzhu was indeed the only person worth befriending.

With He Yuzhu as an ally, his days in the hospital will be much easier.

After closing the door, Qin Lindong's eyes turned cold again.

Allies are in place, and cultivation has broken through; now, it's time to settle scores with the Jia family!

He walked to the window, looked at the sky, and saw that it was already late at night. Everyone in the courtyard was fast asleep, and it was completely silent.

The time has come!

Qin Lindong gently pushed open the window, his figure flashed, and like a ghost, he silently leaped out of the window, landing without a sound, and quickly crept towards the Jia family's house.

In the darkness, his figure was like a hunter of the night, cold, swift, and exuding an overwhelming sense of oppression.

Jia family, your nightmare has begun!
