Chapter 340 - 184: Racing a Thousand Miles to Chase the Living Dead (Part 2)
The elderly woman originally didn’t want that old man to stay. She was just an old lady, and people in the village loved to gossip. Those who didn’t know might think that at her age she’d gotten lovestruck and found an old companion.
The chubby kid said that this man was a veteran who survived the Battle of the Celestial Gate Pass. With him around, it would be much harder for anyone to bully the family.
From the woman’s perspective, Xu Qing saw the crippled veteran often practicing in the yard early in the morning. The three or four hundred jin stone roller seemed as light as a clay marble in his hands.
Judging by those moves, he was at least a Meridian Passage Martial Master of the third realm.
Exchanging a senior Meridian Passage Martial Master for an unknown young lad, even if he’s a crippled martial master, was indeed a bold gamble.
"That chubby kid has quite an eye."
Xu Qing continued watching. Just like the Wang family’s little sister had said, with a Meridian Passage Martial Master around, minor nuisances were no match.

The person wore an embroidered long robe, gesturing with his fingers as he spoke. His voice, as jarring as an escaped duck from a coop, grated on the ears.
"I don’t care what veteran you are. If you block my way to riches, you are my enemy!"
"Today, I’m in a good mood and won’t bicker with you, old thing. Starting tomorrow, leave this land with your little brat at home, and I’ll pretend none of this ever happened..."
Before the eunuch could finish, the crippled old man spoke up, "When I was fighting for Dayong, you hadn’t had your balls cut! And now you, a eunuch, dare bully my soldier’s household?"
