Chapter 46: The evil beggar deserves to die!
As the sky grew darker, the shock of Li Ming's instantaneous killing of Tian Boguang gradually subsided.

But the people in Qixia Town looked at Li Ming and Qianming Martial Arts School with more respect.

In recent times, first it was the bandits and then the flower-stealing villain Tian Boguang. Li Ming, intentionally or unintentionally, has helped maintain the stability of Qixia Town several times.

Ever since Master Li's reputation spread, petty thefts have become less common in Qixia Town, and the town's public security has improved, and all kinds of businesses have become more prosperous.

Both the merchants and residents in the town have implicitly regarded him as the guardian of the town.

Not long after I came back, Shopkeeper Qian, who heard the news, sent a gift to express his gratitude.

To be honest, Li Ming has received quite a few gifts recently, so much so that he has specially cleared out several warehouses to store them.

After the inventory was completed, it was already time for dinner, and the disciples in the martial arts hall all went to eat, leaving the training ground much quieter.

When passing by, he found that Lin Pingzhi was still practicing martial arts. Even though he was sweating profusely, he still had no intention of resting.

The most hardworking person in this martial arts school is him, who bears a deep blood feud.

However, since Lin Pingzhi personally killed Mu Gaofeng last time, his depression has obviously eased a lot, and instead, it has become deeper and more resolute.

Although his face was full of his usual bitterness and hatred, Lin Pingzhi's martial arts were now agile, light and erratic. In his hands, he was almost using the Yue girl sword technique, and the origin of each sword was unpredictable.

After practicing sword skills, Lin Pingzhi began to practice the boxing and kicking skills that Li Mingxin had recently taught him.

At the beginning, perhaps because the martial arts inherited from the Fuwei Escort Agency were mainly based on swordsmanship, Lin Pingzhi was not very interested in it.

But after practicing, Lin Pingzhi discovered the magic of the martial arts taught by Li Ming and mastered it very quickly.

Li Ming glanced at the system interface and prompt messages were still popping up.

[Apprentice Lin Pingzhi's proficiency in soft net power is improved, and attribute points +35 are obtained]

[Apprentice Lin Pingzhi's proficiency in the beauty boxing technique is improved, and attribute points +30 are obtained]

[Apprentice Lin Pingzhi's Jiaokongbi body skills proficiency is improved, and attribute points +40 are obtained]

Not bad!

Li Ming was very satisfied with the rate of profit.

Just like before, Lin Pingzhi was extremely talented in the feminine, ethereal and light martial arts. The several martial arts that Li Ming taught him were actually created by women.

Although it was because of Lin Pingzhi that he unlocked the Sword of Exorcism at the beginning, now that Lin Pingzhi has become his bound disciple, it would be a loss to teach him the Sword of Exorcism if it were a one-time deal. It would be better to do it steadily over the long term.

By the way, I took a look at the system interface again——

Li Ming has now reached the peak of the innate realm, and has also naturally unlocked the position of the third personal disciple.

The martial arts school has been doing good business recently. Many people have taken the trouble to come from farther places with money to become disciples.

Now, including the new ones, there are more than 50 disciples in the martial arts school. The fees for recruiting disciples alone are a lucrative income.

Considering that the martial arts school has not yet been expanded and formed, it would be too crowded if there were more disciples. The only option is to temporarily raise the threshold and slow down the pace of accepting disciples.

Similarly, Li Ming's previous decision to train disciples with martial arts talent for free has also been effective.

As more and more people came to try, he actually discovered a few extremely talented young people. They were all children from poor backgrounds and had no chance to learn martial arts. They came to try because they had no other choice.

Although their talents cannot catch up with Mo Xiaobei, they are still much stronger than ordinary warriors, and the benefits they bring are naturally much higher.

Li Ming plans to train these promising talents as the core force of the martial arts school in the future.

At the same time, we not only teach them martial arts, but also pay attention to their moral character.

Speaking of teaching disciples, Li Ming couldn't help but think of Linghu Chong not long ago.

At that time, Linghu Chong kept calling "Brother Tian" and almost incurred public anger. In the end, it was Yue Buqun who stood up to save him.

The Huashan Sect is a famous and upright sect after all. The reputation of the Gentleman Sword may be controversial among martial artists, but it is still very useful for ordinary people.

Upon hearing that he was the disciple of Mr. Yue from the Huashan Sect, everyone let Linghu Chong go.

Yue Buqun also promised that he would teach Linghu Chong carefully in the future.

Li Ming also reminded Yue Buqun that it would be best to keep Linghu Chong by his side and teach him at all times to prevent any trouble from happening again.

In addition, Linghu Chong had previously spoken rudely to the nuns of the Hengshan Sect, so Yue Buqun had better deal with it.

Upon hearing this, Yue Buqun made repeated inquiries and only then did he learn that Linghu Chong had actually said in front of Yi Lin that nuns are unlucky and that “if you meet a nun, you will lose every time you gamble.”

Lao Yue was so angry that he wanted to teach his apprentice a lesson.

Even Li Ming had heard of it. Although the Hengshan Sect was composed entirely of women, they were extremely upright. They often helped the needy and went down the mountain to rescue the common people. They were respected by everyone in the martial arts world.

If these words were to reach the ears of the several nuns in the Hengshan Sanding Sect, it might affect the internal relations of the Five Mountains Sword Sect.

Yue Buqun could no longer sit still, and immediately decided to take Linghu Chong to the Hengshan Sect to apologize and keep a close eye on him in the future.

Originally, if Li Ming hadn't reminded him, Yue Buqun would have wanted him to return to Huashan Cliff to face the wall, but now he has given up this plan.

As a result, the original plot of "Swordsman" has changed.

Lin Pingzhi did not join the Huashan Sect, and Linghu Chong did not go to the Cliff of Regret, so the method to break the Five Mountains Sword Technique hidden in the back mountain of Huashan would not be discovered in a short time.

Li Ming was also happy to see this happen.

I guess Master Yue Buqun and his disciples have left Qixia Town by now...

Li Ming gave Lin Pingzhi some pointers on martial arts, and before he knew it, it was dark.

Li Ming came to a deserted place, his body flashed, and he activated Xiaoyao Yufeng, and he left the martial arts hall quietly. Under the cover of night, he was like a gust of breeze passing by, and no one noticed him.

The entrance of Qixia Town.

Several beggars gathered together.

It was already late, and even the martial arts school was closed. They could not find any useful information, so after discussing it, they decided to leave first. Several beggars stood up and walked together.

But they didn't notice that there was a pair of eyes staring at them in the dark behind them. It was Li Ming who was following them secretly.

During the day, Li Ming had already noticed this group of beggars.

At first I didn't take it seriously, thinking it might have wandered over from somewhere else.

But soon, Li Ming, who had a keen sixth sense, discovered something unusual.

These beggars all have martial arts skills, and they have been staring at the martial arts hall intentionally or unintentionally, as if they were trying to find out what's going on.

Their whispers were also caught by Li Ming.

Then I followed secretly to see what the route was.

After leaving Qixia Town, these beggars increased their speed and after a distance, they entered an abandoned City God Temple.

A figure flashed and Li Ming appeared not far away.

This place is remote, some distance away from the official road, hidden behind a slope, and usually few people pass by.

This place is closer to Shibalipu. Li Ming rarely goes out of Qixia Town, so naturally he has never paid attention to this place.

But there was a faint yellow light in the City God Temple, and there were signs of human activities nearby. It seemed that this was the stronghold of these beggars.

Li Ming was just about to move when his eyes suddenly fixed on a figure running towards him in panic in the dark.

He was actually a boy of thirteen or fourteen years old.

The young man was dressed in rags, had a pale and thin face, and his face was covered in a lot of black dust. He looked dirty and dressed like a beggar.

"Don't run, you little bastard! If I catch you, I'll show you how I'll deal with you!"

Behind him, two vicious beggars were chasing after him, shouting and cursing.

"Ouch!"

The boy might have been in a panic, or he might have not eaten for a long time, and he tripped and fell.

Before he could get up, he was caught up by two beggars and pinned to the ground.

"How dare you run! I'm so tired."

"I've already told you that this kid is dishonest. Damn it, teach him a lesson and make him beg on the street like those other brats!"

As the two beggars spoke, their faces turned fierce, and they actually took out sharp daggers from their arms.

"No, no, I won't dare to do that again! Grandpas, please show some mercy."

The boy struggled a few times but was trampled to death by the two beggars.

He suddenly looked behind the two beggars: "Hey, Elder Gong? Why are you here? Save me!"

Upon hearing Elder Gong's name, the two beggars shuddered with fear, took a deep breath and turned back quickly, but they only saw air.

The boy took the opportunity to get up and run away, but was immediately caught up by the beggar and kicked over.

"You bastard, you dare to play tricks on me? I'll let you see how powerful I am."

The two beggars stepped on him without saying a word.

A beggar pressed down the boy's calf and stabbed at his ankle, intending to cut the boy's tendons!
The other beggar stepped down, ready to break his arm.

There was deep fear and even despair in the boy's eyes.

At the critical moment, there were two muffled bangs.

The two vicious beggars were knocked unconscious by an attack from nowhere and fell straight down.

The boy opened his eyes blankly, then looked up and saw Li Ming appear in front of him.

After being stunned for a moment, he looked back at the two beggars who were knocked unconscious. The boy seemed to understand something, jumped up and was about to hug Li Ming's thigh.

"Thank you so much for saving my life!"

Li Ming was surprised. Although this little beggar looked sloppy, he reacted very quickly and was even a little frivolous.

An ordinary person would have been terrified a long time ago.

Although his face was dirty, his eyes were extremely bright and kept rolling around.

"and many more!"

Li Ming casually released a trace of true energy to block the young man, and then asked.

"Who are you and why are these two chasing you?"

"I am a beggar without parents. I wandered to the neighborhood a few days ago. They told me to join the Beggars' Sect and learn martial arts. I believed them, but when I got there, I found out that they were not good people!"

The young man was smart and articulate, and he spoke with a somewhat pitiful expression.

"Why isn't he a good person?"

"They kidnapped many children and made them disabled. They forced them to beg for money. If they couldn't, they would beat them. They also threatened me to be obedient and help them look after the children, otherwise they would make me like that!"

After listening to the boy's narration, a word immediately flashed through Li Ming's mind.

"Cut the life and dismember it!"

At the same time, murderous intent flashed in his eyes again.

These evil beggars really deserve to die!
