“Hehe, I’m delighted to become friends with you. My name is Qin Niu, what’s your name?”

Qin Niu felt particularly happy to become friends with this holy, pure girl.

He never despised her for being mute.

She walked to the counter, took out paper and pen, and neatly wrote down two characters.

Bei Bing.

“So your name is Bei Bing! This shop is actually named after you; it seems your grandfather really adores you! From now on we are good friends. Once 1 get a bit stronger, if you need help with anything, you can always find me. I live in Shuangfeng Village, Jade Stream Town; it’s quite easy to find. There’s a very imposing house in the village, but that’s the neighbor’s. My house is made up of two very dilapidated mud huts.”

Qin Niu told her his address.

“Mmm!”

She nodded vigorously again, then waved at Qin Niu, indicating for him to hurry out of the city.

If he was late, he wouldn’t be able to leave the city.

“Goodbye!”

Having gained a friendship, Qin Niu felt especially cheerful.

The low-grade talisman she had given him made his heart feel warmly content.

In this life, people need friendship, kinship, love — that’s what makes a complete life.

This trip could be considered a fulfillment of all his wishes; he had managed to buy all the cultivation materials he wanted.

When he passed a roasted chicken shop, Qin Niu spent three wen money to buy a large roasted chicken leg, asking the shopkeeper to wrap it in greased paper. After carefully receiving it, he tucked it close to his chest and hurried out of the city.

He left the city just in time.

Any later, and he would have had to wait until the next morning to leave.

That’s because the soldiers guarding the city had already started to clear the caltrops placed at the city gates.

No sooner had Qin Niu left the city than he saw the soldiers on the city walls start to pull the chains, hoisting up the drawbridge.

The design of the city gates was very clever.

The drawbridge pulled up over the moat was precisely like two temporary city walls, forming a double protection with the gate behind it.

But generally, no one would dare to attack the city.

Unless the surrounding forces wanted to swallow the Black Tiger Gang’s territory, that would be the only possibility of a war breaking out.

However, such situations are rare.

For a gang of Black Tiger Gang’s size, once a war commences, it inevitably results in rivers of blood and countless masters dying.

While there would be some casualties among the common people, it was mainly the gang’s masters who perished.

Unless there was certainty of victory, no gang would risk a war where both sides would suffer heavy losses. At most, they would nibble away at each other’s borders, engaging in minor skirmishes.

The cost and risk of a full-scale war were too high; all the major powers dealt with it very cautiously.

After leaving the city, he lengthened his stride, heading in the direction of his home.

When he first left the city, he could still see many pedestrians on the road, but each one was in a hurry.

After walking a few miles, the number of pedestrians on the road dwindled.

The sky gradually darkened as well.

He quickened his pace.

If he had a horse, or a pet beast that could carry people, it would have been much more convenient.

With his own two feet, he would need about two and a half hours to travel fifty li, which is equivalent to five hours.

And that was because his cultivation had improved.

Based on his previous stamina, it would take seven hours to reach home.

The journey was uneventful.

By the time he returned to Shuangfeng Village, it was deep into the night and the whole village was quiet.

Only when he neared someone else’s house could he hear the whisper of conversation or sometimes the moaning of a woman.
