I Can Strengthen Infinitely-Chapter 215 - 167: Standing Up for Justice

Wealth can make even devils work, and under Qin Yuesheng’s tempting high price, the carriage finally arrived at Jiaqing Market at noon.

This is a rather desolate market, with more than ten shops inside, including a blacksmith, a medical hall, an inn, and so on. It’s small but complete.

However, after traveling through the night, even the resilient Daliang Red-Mane horses pulling the carriage couldn’t hold up.

Upon entering Jiaqing Market, the horse was already foaming at the mouth, its legs trembling, and it suddenly collapsed to the ground.

The whole carriage immediately tilted, the center of gravity became unstable, and it uncontrollably fell to the ground.

This commotion immediately caught the attention of Qin Yuesheng, who was cultivating inside the carriage.

He directly grabbed Qin Hai’s shoulder, while wielding the Celestial Demon Sword with his other hand, slicing upwards, breaking the roof of the carriage, and leaping out onto the street.

"Ah!" The coachman wasn’t so lucky, falling with the carriage, crying out in pain.

"It seems this carriage is no longer usable." Qin Yuesheng reached out and pulled the coachman up from the ground, handing him a silver note.

"Consider this compensation for the horse and carriage."

The coachman took it and thanked him profusely.

For ordinary people like him, dealing with martial artists refusing to pay for damages can be quite troublesome.

Because once a martial artist leaves, they become untraceable, and the compensation for damages falls onto the victims. How much can an ordinary person earn? Replacing a horse and a carriage could take months of wages.

That’s why ordinary industries generally dislike receiving martial artists as customers.

"Let’s go and find an inn for a meal, and I need a bath." Qin Yuesheng said to Qin Hai, walking down the street.

There’s no need to search, as Jiaqing Market only has one inn, given that it’s unwise to open a competing inn in such a remote area.

The exterior of Jiaqing Market’s inn looks quite simple, made entirely of roughly peeled logs pieced together, with two floors.

Entering the inn, the interior is also quite basic, with four small square tables around a large long wooden table.

Behind the long counter against the wall stands a scholar snacking on sunflower seeds, with various wine jars wrapped in red cloth sitting on the shelf inside.

A square red paper, marked with a large ink character, covers the tops of the jars:

Wine.

Others are already sitting and eating in the inn. As Qin Yuesheng and Qin Hai entered, everyone in the hall instantly took notice.

There are three groups.

The first group occupies the largest long wooden table, composed of seven fierce-looking individuals, muscular and intimidating, not to be provoked.

The second group consists of three uniformly dressed youths, likely members of a faction or sect.

The third group includes a man and a woman, both beautiful, dressed elegantly and nobly, with an extraordinary presence like a pair of celestial lovers.

Qin Yuesheng faced them fearlessly, appearing calm.

Seeing the Celestial Demon Sword in his hand and the Dragon-Slaying Sword wrapped in Qin Hai’s robe on his back, the other patrons showed expressions of contemplation and soon shifted their gazes back.

"Guest, need a bite?" As soon as Qin Yuesheng entered, the scholar snacking on sunflower seeds promptly put them down, clapped his hands, and approached.

"Yes, two upper rooms, and four of your best dishes." Qin Yuesheng headed toward an empty table.

The scholar followed closely: "Want some wine?"

"No, just boiled water."

"Got it."

Sitting down, Qin Hai couldn’t help but ask quietly, "Yuesheng cousin, are these people martial artists?" 𝕗𝕣𝐞𝐞𝘄𝐞𝚋𝚗𝗼𝘃𝗲𝗹.𝚌𝕠𝚖

"They should be," Qin Yuesheng replied after observing the group.

However, their demeanor and actions were rather odd, not like travelers passing through, but rather as if waiting for something.

This aroused Qin Yuesheng’s silent caution, raising his vigilance.

Soon, the scholar brought over four dishes, and Qin Yuesheng took chopsticks from the wooden container on the table, swiftly using Inner Strength to wipe them, then started eating without concern.

After the scholar left, Qin Hai couldn’t help but remind, "Yuesheng cousin, be careful there’s no Soporific Drug in the food."

"No worries, I’ve tried it for you already, it’s safe to eat," Qin Yuesheng said indifferently.

With the restoration of the Primordial Yang Spell from the Nourishing and Cultivation Technique, its ability to cleanse toxins in the body has greatly improved.

Soporific Drugs or laxatives, as long as Qin Yuesheng channels his qi, can be expelled entirely from the body without any residue.

Seeing Qin Yuesheng eating heartily, Qin Hai, who hadn’t eaten all morning, couldn’t resist and started eating eagerly.

Soon, a long-haired man entered from outside the inn, dressed in a black fighting outfit, carrying a Juque Sword on his back, his face slightly depressed, instantly drawing everyone’s attention like a magnet.

Qin Yuesheng frowned, as the man exuded an invisible, heavy aura, enveloping the area where Qin Yuesheng sat.
