Chapter 9: You don't want my son to fail the Tsinghua entrance exam, do you?

On the small path, there were already many villagers. Hearing the commotion, quite a few people gathered around.

Unexpectedly, the more people there were, the more excited Zhang Kai and Sun Xiangdong became.

"Wang Ping'an, you, a newcomer from elsewhere, can only stand your ground here because the people in our village are kind. Otherwise, your sister-in-law and you would not have a good life," Zhang Kai deliberately shouted.

He was intentionally putting Wang Ping'an in opposition to the entire village.

Wang Ping'an simply placed the wild boar on the ground, "I want to see how you make it impossible for me to stand my ground here!"

As he spoke, Wang Ping'an touched the knife at his waist.

There were still dark red bloodstains on it, emitting a bloody smell.

Zhang Kai and Sun Xiangdong both frowned.

They had originally thought that Wang Ping'an, who rarely spoke and looked honest, even if he was a martial artist, couldn't be that powerful.

After all, powerful martial artists are always arrogant and domineering, right?

And they certainly wouldn't live in such a small mountain village.

So, Zhang Kai and Sun Xiangdong had discussed and wanted to test Wang Ping'an's true strength.

Who knew that Wang Ping'an was so tough, ready for a fight.

Sun Xiangdong, who had no real strength, was intimidated by Wang Ping'an's fierce gaze and immediately cowered, saying nothing.

Zhang Kai, with a stiff upper lip, said, "We're all from the same village, we see each other every day. What do you mean?"

"What's the matter, what's the matter?" At this moment, Zhang Kai's father also came over: "Wang Ping'an, it's just some game, my son is from the Wanlin Martial Arts Hall. You don't want to see my son progress slowly, do you?"

Wang Ping'an was speechless. What does it have to do with me whether your son gets into Tsinghua or not?

"Whether your son progresses quickly or not has nothing to do with me. If you don't want to fight, move out of the way now," Wang Ping'an said, looking at Zhang Kai.

"Wang Ping'an, if Zhang Kai does better at the Wanlin Martial Arts Hall, it will benefit our village. Giving him some game won't hurt, will it?" A middle-aged woman said. She was close to the Zhang family.

But someone else said, "This wild boar meat isn't cheap. If you say that, last time your family caught a few wild ducks, why didn't you help them?"

This was someone who didn't get along well with the middle-aged woman, deliberately embarrassing her.

The woman immediately fell silent, then said her body was weak and she needed money for many things, and then said the harvest this year was poor.

Seeing more and more people gathering, Zhang Kai felt more confident.

After all, he was the local bully, and many people here gave him face!

If he didn't suppress Wang Ping'an's momentum, how would he survive in the future?

"Fine, Wang Ping'an, you're bullying me. This matter won't be easily resolved today. Let's fight without weapons, just with our fists. Dare you?"

"Fine, let's start now."

Wang Ping'an grinned and, in the next moment, slapped him.

"Slap!"

Zhang Kai's body flew out, landing on the ground and raising a cloud of dust.

"An ambush..."

Zhang Kai, holding his swollen face, immediately got up: "I didn't say start, and you ambushed me."

"You can't blame me!" Wang Ping'an shrugged.

"Young man, relying on deceit, you don't even follow martial virtue."

Zhang Kai's father also cursed.

Wang Ping'an, with his hands behind his back, stuck the knife into the dead pig: "Fine, let's start officially now. A life-or-death battle! Dare you?"

Seeing Wang Ping'an's fierce gaze, Zhang Kai's body trembled, and he cowered.

As the saying goes, the tough fear the fearless.

Even if Zhang Kai was confident, at this moment, he cowered.

Because from that slap, Wang Ping'an was very strong, and he was probably not a match for him.

'Damn it, what's this guy's background? I'm at the late Ninth Rank, could this guy be at the Eighth Rank...'

Late Ninth Rank might not be much in the city.

But here in the countryside!!

Late Ninth Rank is already very strong.

After all, how could anyone with real strength come to the countryside?

"We're all from the same village, there's no need to make things so bad. Let's just forget it."

Someone tried to mediate.

Zhang Kai immediately took the opportunity to back down, coldly saying, "Fine, since the elders have spoken, Wang Ping'an, I won't hold it against you."

Saying this, he hurriedly left.

"Didn't think Zhang Kai would admit defeat."

"He must know he's no match for Wang Ping'an."

"I heard Wang Ping'an used to work for a security company, he really has the skills."

Immediately.

Complex gazes were cast upon Wang Ping'an.

Some were shocked, some envious, and some were eyeing him, wanting to curry favor.

Everyone was seriously considering how to deal with Wang Ping'an in the future.

"Are you okay, Ping'an?"

At this moment, Li Junwen ran over.

"I'm fine." Wang Ping'an, carrying the pork, patted Li Junwen's shoulder: "Go home and help me dissect the pork! I'll give you the pig's head."

Li Junwen's eyes lit up: "Brother Wang, you're too kind, let me carry it for you."

"Fine!"

Wang Ping'an smiled and casually placed it on Li Junwen's shoulder.

"Whoa!!"

Li Junwen's legs bent.

This wild boar looked small, but it was heavy.

He had also trained, but carrying it was still quite a strain.

In contrast, Wang Ping'an, who had come down from the mountain to here, was not even out of breath!

Li Junwen now genuinely admired him.

"Ping'an!"

As the two were walking back, they saw Zhu Xiaohan running over, holding a firewood stick.

"Sister-in-law, what are you doing?"

Wang Ping'an was a bit surprised because his sister-in-law looked like a fierce tigress ready for a fight.

"I heard from Aunt Wang that Zhang Kai and Sun Xiangdong were causing trouble for you, so I came over immediately."

"Sister-in-law, don't worry, I'm fine. Those two are no match for me."

Seeing that Wang Ping'an was indeed fine, Zhu Xiaohan breathed a sigh of relief.

"Good, oh, did you hunt such a big wild boar?"

"Yep."

Wang Ping'an smiled: "Let's go home, we'll have braised pig's trotters with green beans tonight."

He noticed that his sister-in-law had a new desire.

[Desire: Hope Wang Ping'an is fine.]

As she relaxed, the Jade also received some points.

[Desire completed, points +50!]

Wang Ping'an was momentarily stunned.

Good grief, this is the biggest points so far.

His sister-in-law cares about him so much.

The more points, the stronger the desire.

Now he had 55 points.

Back home, Aunt Wang also came to help with the pot and water, preparing to wash and cut the wild boar meat.

Li Junwen excitedly started dissecting.

He often sold meat at the market and was very skilled at cutting meat.

In no time, the wild boar was cut into pieces.

As for the pig's head, it was his, with plenty of meat, enough for his family for two or three days.

Zhu Xiaohan picked some ribs and fatty meat and gave them to Aunt Wang.

Aunt Wang usually had a good relationship with them and would help out when needed. Now that they had so much meat, it was natural to give her some.

Neighbors should be friendly, not enemies, after all, they see each other every day.

Zhu Xiaohan's actions showed that she understood human relations and was not petty.

As for Wang Ping'an, he chose a hind leg and said to Zhu Xiaohan, "Sister-in-law, I'll give this hind leg to the village chief."

"Okay, go ahead."

Zhu Xiaohan nodded.

They could live here because they inherited a house, but without the village chief's approval, it would be hard to stand their ground.

This was a way to show gratitude.

Besides, the village chief had influence here, and his two sons were in the city martial arts hall. It was good to be on good terms with him.

Wang Ping'an walked to the village chief's house and found the village chief and two young men talking at the door.

Their shoes were covered in mud, clearly they had just come back from the mountain.

The two young men were naturally the village chief's two sons.

"Hey, Ping'an, you're here."

The village chief, Yan Bo, came over.

"Village Chief, while digging for blood-enriching grass on the mountain today, I caught a wild boar. I thought since you've been so kind to me and my sister-in-law, I should bring you a pig's leg as a thank you."

Wang Ping'an spoke sincerely.

Yan Bo was taken aback; a pig's leg was worth a lot of money.

"Ping'an, you're too kind."

Yan Bo tried to refuse, but his wife coughed.

Wang Ping'an smiled, "Village Chief, it's only right."

"Then I won't refuse."

His two sons immediately welcomed him with smiles, bringing out osmanthus pastries from the city.

"Ping'an, I'll take your pig's leg. These osmanthus pastries are a gift from my sons. I have nothing to give you, so I'll give you these pastries."

Wang Ping'an smiled, "How can I accept more from you? I'll leave you to your business, I'll go home."

"No, take them."

Yan Bo pushed the pastries into his hands.

At this moment, the eldest son, Yan Hu, suddenly said, "Brother, I heard Zhang Kai and Sun Xiangdong were causing trouble for you. Do you want us to help you settle the score?"

Since Wang Ping'an was so righteous, the two brothers naturally didn't hesitate.

Wang Ping'an smiled, "I slapped him just now, he probably won't dare to cause trouble again."

Yan Hu and his brother raised their eyebrows.

They knew Zhang Kai was at the late Ninth Rank.

To suffer a loss at Wang Ping'an's hands was unexpected.

"Brother Ping'an, have you trained before?"

"Yep, at a security company, not much to brag about, not much to brag about."

After a pause, Wang Ping'an suddenly asked, "By the way, since you work at the city martial arts hall, do they sell any cultivation techniques?"
