Chapter 144: Preso

Ning let go of the man's shoulder and watched the other man fall to the ground while holding his stomach.

"Arhhh," he screamed as loudly as he could to rid away the pain. The other 2 men looked at the man and then onto the little girl in fear.

"Next one," Ning said. He called forth another one of the men and asked them to get beat. They were about to refuse, but once they saw Ning's fist, they willingly came forth.

Anya hit both of them on their stomach once each and they too fell to the ground in pain.

'That's what you get when you get punched by someone in the 3rd Qi condensation realm and 4th level of body cultivation,' Ning thought.

Anya's cultivation speed was quite fast in general, but her body cultivation was beyond quick. In just a few months, she had managed to break through 4 different levels of body cultivation.

She was on par with the thugs in front of her.

"Alright, let me diagnose you guys," Ning said and started to list out the problems with the different men and prepared medicines for them.

"Alright, eat these and you will be fine," Ning said as he handed the 4 of them their individual medicine. The four of them took the medicines and turned around to leave.

"Wait!" Ning said.

"Umm… what is it, sir?" one of the men asked.

"Where is my payment? Ning said.

The men started to get scared again and quickly took out a bunch of gold coins before giving them to Ning. They didn't dare stay behind any longer.

Ning chuckled a bit and went back to treating the patients. Finally, once he was done with the hospital work, he went to his room and started cultivating.

"10 more months," he thought. It had already been 6 months since he lost the system, 4 months since he came to Deepskull city. He would now have to somehow live his life for 10 more months without trouble.

However, even if one didn't look for trouble, trouble came knocking on its own.

A few days later, another group of people came to the hospital. Even from far away, Ning could tell that they were strong.

He walked to the front of the hospital and waited for these people to speak. He quietly checked their cultivation and realized that while their Qi cultivation was quite poor, their body cultivation was in double digits.

'They're stronger than me,' he thought. 'Are they here to take revenge on those 4 from before?'

"Are you the doctor named Ning?" one of the men in the group asked. He was big and buff. He had a head full of white hair but that didn't stop him from looking like he was in the prime of his life.

"Yes, I am Ning," he replied.

"My name is Preso, and I am an elder from the Red Tiger sect. Is it true that our disciple's got beat here a couple of days ago?" he asked.

Ning didn't like where the situation was going but still decided to answer truthfully. "Yes, that is true. I beat them," Ning said.

"Hmm…. Is that really true?" the man frowned as he asked again.

"Of course that's true. I really did beat them. You can ask them yourself," Ning said.

"Hmm… that is the thing, doctor. I did ask them, and they said the one that beat them was a little girl," the man said.

"Oh, if you meant who hit them, then yes it was the girl, but she did it under my order," Ning said.

"Oh, so it's true," the man's eyes started shining.

'What is going on?' Ning started to believe the situation wasn't how he thought it was.

"Can I see the little girl?" the man asked.

Ning frowned. "What do you want?" he asked in a serious tone.

"Oh, we don't come with malicious intent. Please, can we just see the little girl. Don't worry, we won't harm her in front of so many civilians. While we might not look like it, we care for our reputation too," Preso said.

Ning thought what he said made sense, so he called Anya to the front. Anya timidly walked to the front in front of so many members of the Red Tiger sect. She knew how ferocious they were and was thus scared quite a bit.

"Hello, little miss, what is your name?" Preso asked.

"A-Anya," she replied.

"Miss Anya, can you tell me if you beat the 4 men about a few days ago?" Preso asked.

"Not all, only 3. Master beat the last one. But that was only because they were trying to fake their injury and ruin our business. We didn't attack them for no reason. They asked for it," Anya tried to explain why her master had to do what he did.

"I see, I see. Then can you come here and hit me too?" Preso said as he put forth a hand for Anya to hit.

Anya hesitated and looked towards Ning. Ning started to suspect what was going on. He looked towards Anya and nodded.

After getting the go, Anya walked forward and hit the man's palm as hard as she could. While her little pre-teen hands weren't very large, the force they packed behind them wasn't weak either.

With a 4th level body cultivation, the sound her fist made on impact was loud enough that the other members of the Red Tiger sect that were standing behind them were flabbergasted.

"So strong," he murmured. They had expected the girl to be strong, but at some level underneath, they couldn't believe that a little girl could have the same level of cultivation base as their inner sect disciples.

Preso looked at his own palm in shock. While he didn't feel any pain, the slight numbness still remained. He couldn't believe her power either.

However, he managed to wake himself out of the shock and looked straight at Anya before saying, "Miss Anya, would you like to join the Red Tiger sect as a direct disciple of mine?"
