Chapter 34: Chapter 31: Space Prosperity 13

From a distance, Jiang Mingyue saw thick smoke rising from her uncle’s courtyard. Thinking her uncle was cooking, she finally found him. It wasn’t easy.

But as she got closer, Jiang Mingyue noticed something was wrong. The smoke and fire weren’t coming from inside the courtyard but from the base of the wall outside. Bundles of dry wood had been stacked around the courtyard wall. With the east wind blowing, it was only a matter of time before the entire courtyard would be engulfed in flames.

Realizing what was happening, Jiang Mingyue’s face darkened: Someone was trying to burn her uncle to death!

Jiang Mingyue released her spiritual power. The two arsonists hadn’t run far.

They were arguing at that moment.

Person A: “Wudong, can you use your brain? Starting a fire in broad daylight, aren’t you afraid of being seen?”

Then the one called Wudong replied, “The person who paid us demanded it. They said the person inside was sleeping soundly and might not be in such a deep sleep later.”

Person A: “What do you mean by might not? Doesn’t he sleep at night?”

Wudong: “Hey! We just take money to do the job. Why bother? There’s no one around here anyway; all these houses are empty since the owners are in the countryside.”

Person A: “You seem to know a lot.”

Wudong said proudly, “Of course. The one who paid us seems to have a deep grudge against the person inside, he was even his master. If you ask me, the person taking in disciples is getting really screwed over. Not only does he have to worry about his disciple outliving him, now he has to face the tragic end of being killed by that disciple.”

Person A: “Okay, shut up. We should leave quickly; it’s not safe here.”

Ha! Think you can still leave?

Jiang Mingyue couldn’t attack from afar. She first used water from her space to extinguish the burning wood within a controllable timeframe, then got on her bike to chase the thieves, soon blocking their path.

“Get out of the way!”

She didn’t move.

“A good dog doesn’t block the road!” Wudong, who never discriminated against either sex when cursing, shouted.

She didn’t move.

Wudong, now exasperated, turned back to his companion: “Cheng Wu, think of something!”

The one called Cheng Wu displayed what he thought was a powerful physique: “Look, girl, I could crush you with a flick of my finger. So get out of the way.”

She didn’t move.

This time Jiang Mingyue didn’t waste any more time and directly took action. In her previous life, she acquired all her martial skills thanks to a golden-masked man. He was invited by her brother to coach her in martial arts. For some reason, the man always wore a gold-engraved mask, and she never saw his true face.

There were benefits though; she didn’t have to get too close to him. Besides martial arts, they never exchanged a word on other topics.

Now that she’s gone, she wonders if that martial arts teacher still remembers her?

In the blink of an eye, she had both scoundrels pinned to the ground.

“Ouch! Lady, it’s just about blocking the road, we were wrong, you can keep blocking, we’ll go around.”

In response, the pressure on their necks increased, hurting them so much they thought they were going to die.

“Do you know who you almost killed just now? My own uncle.”

The two of them didn’t dare to breathe heavily.

“Did Liu Chu put you up to this?”

Wudong’s eyes widened: “How do you know?”

“Of course I know. Later, you’re going to the police station to tell them exactly who ordered you, otherwise…”

“Ah! Female knight, do we have to go to the police station?”

“No.”

In no time, Wudong Chengwu was dragged to the police station as if they were on a dog walk by Jiang Mingyue.

The young police officer receiving her was quite surprised: “Girl, you’ve had quite a turbulent day. Are you hurt?”

Jiang Mingyue shook her head, pretending to be meek: “I’m not good at anything else, but I’m good at running away.”

After taking the statement, the police officer saw Jiang Mingyue to the door and suddenly remembered something.

“Wait, the girl you rescued this morning waited for a long time in the afternoon to thank you, leaving you a gift.”

“Thank you!” Jiang Mingyue held the gift and was about to leave.

“By the way, my name is Helian An, I think we’ll meet again.”

Jiang Mingyue: “…”

After riding a distance away, Jiang Mingyue woke Xiao Jiang Ran and then opened the gift box.

Inside was a brand-new green water flask, a high-end luxury product in this era which everyone longs for.

And there was a letter.

Signed: Wei Duoduo. The young girl had written her name and contact address, asking Jiang Mingyue to find her, saying her parents would surely offer generous thanks.

Jiang Mingyue thought it unnecessary but liked the water flask, planning to give it to Mrs. Jiang to take to the fields, so she wouldn’t be parched after work.

However, seeing the letter, Jiang Mingyue thought of that heartless couple. Such people really shouldn’t be allowed to go on harming others.

Jiang Mingyue thought of writing a report letter, remembering that there seemed to be paper, pens, and books in her brother’s package.

She took out the paper and pen from the basket, wrote down all the bad deeds of that heartless couple from an insider’s perspective, then self-made an envelope to seal it, figuring it would be safer this way, ensuring they can never redeem themselves.

She found a child playing by the roadside, gave him a dollar, and asked him to deliver it to the police station ahead. The boy, thinking she was foolish, happily ran to deliver the letter.

Xiao Jiang Ran pouted: “Sister, I could also do this kind of thing.” Wasting so much money.

“Is our Xiao Ran feeling sorry for Sister’s money? That makes Sister very happy. However, Xiao Ran, sister also wanted to help that child, didn’t you notice he doesn’t even have straw shoes? Isn’t that bad?”

Xiao Ran pondered: “If he steps on glass again, his feet could bleed.”

“Our Xiao Ran is so smart. That’s right. A dollar can’t buy leather shoes, but it can buy many pairs of straw shoes. So, would our Xiao Ran still insist on delivering it?”

The little guy shook his head seriously: “Letting him deliver is helping him. Xiao Ran has shoes and doesn’t need to deliver.”

“Our Xiao Ran is really kind.”

Although Jiang Mingyue knew the little guy wasn’t going astray and was good, she still wanted to instill kind thoughts as much as possible, hoping he would treat the world with kindness.

In the future, if being kind causes mistakes, it won’t be the fault of kindness.

When they returned to her uncle’s house, her uncle was awake, and the police were waiting to take a statement but it wasn’t Helian An like before.

Seeing Xiao Jiang Ran, her uncle was quite surprised, “Xiao Ran, how did you get here? Who did you come with?”

Jiang Mingyue: “…” Am I a ghost? Suddenly thinking that she had seen her uncle through Wudong’s mind using spiritual power, but he hadn’t met her!

“Uncle, I’m Jiang Mingyue, the third daughter’s girl.”

The man in front of her had eyes similar to her brother’s, but nowhere else. Jiang Mingyue thought her brother probably resembled her late aunt.

But Xiao Ran looked a bit more like this uncle.

As Jiang Mingyue stared at him, the middle-aged man also stared at her. He was clearly quite agitated, not even caring about how he nearly got burned to death in his sleep just now.

“Little Yue? Are you really Little Yue? Listen to me babbling. You look a lot like my third brother. In our family, my third brother is the best looking among the siblings. Mingyue, thank you for being able to return.”
