Chapter 18: Apocryphal
The man and woman in green shirts were about to leave after seeing the scene just now. However, after they heard the message from the shopkeeper who had brought Yi Guanming, they still decided to come to Yi Guanming's table.
The young man held a long sword, clasped his fists and saluted: "This brother, next week Yifan, it's an honor to meet you!"
"In Xia Xue Jingfang, it's an honor to know Brother Tai!"
The young woman was also holding a long sword, smiling and hugging her fists.
"In Xia Yi Lingchen, the two of you are polite, please take a seat!"
Yi Guanming was also more polite, responded with a smile on his face, and motioned for the two to take a seat.
Hearing this, Zhou Yifan and Xue Jingfang were no longer polite, and sat down generously, put the sword in their hands on the table in front of them, and smiled at Yi Guanming.
"I wanted to invite my sister to dinner quietly, but I didn't expect that this unpleasant thing happened just now, which made the two of you laugh!"
Seeing the two of them sitting down generously, Yi Guanming also said with a smile.
Zhou Yifan smiled at the corner of his mouth, and said politely: "Where, Brother Yi is too polite! Brother Yi's swordsmanship is outstanding, but it makes us really admire! It is a great honor that you are willing to let us sit at the same table with you." ”
Yi Guanming looked at Zhou Yifan's straight body sitting upright, and said with a light smile: "Brother Zhou is polite." I'm just a little bit of carving insect skills, and I can't get into the hall of elegance, so there's nothing to admire. On the contrary, I look at the two extraordinary instruments and act in a chivalrous manner, which can't help but make people respect. ”
Zhou Yifan said with a straight face: "Brother Yi has won the award, saying it like this, it really makes us ashamed! And Ling Mei is even more beautiful and unearthly, I am afraid that I can't find such a beautiful person in the entire area of Qingyang City!"
Xue Jingfang, who was sitting next to Zhou Yifan, also had a straight body, her eyebrows stretched, and she smiled: "That's right, a hero and beauty like Brother and Sister Ling is absolutely unique in the territory of Qingyang City, and no one can compare to it!"
"Haha, thank you both for the compliment. I won't be telling the truth, but my sister Xue Rou is indeed a beauty in Allure, and this is true. ”
Hearing this, Yi Guanming couldn't help laughing, and then turned his gaze to Yan Xuerou beside him, showing appreciation.
"Miss Xue is a beauty!
Yan Xuerou heard the praise of Zhou Yifan and Xue Jingfang, and then saw Yi Guanming's slightly appreciative gaze, but she was a little embarrassed, although she was a little confident in her appearance, she was still a little shy in front of everyone.
The four of them exchanged politeness for a while, and the topic was over.
Yi Guanming turned his head, looked at Zhou Yifan and Xue Jingfang and asked, "By the way, I don't know which sect and faction such two outstanding children as Brother Zhou and Miss Xue come from?"
Zhou Yifan's lips pursed slightly, and he replied slowly: "Don't hide it from Brother Yi, we are the disciples of this Ruliuzhen Qingyi Gang, and the gang leader Yu Gang is our master, we have been brought up by our master since we were children, so we are also working for the Qingyi Gang now." ”
"Oh, the Green Shirt Gang, this is the Green Shirt Gang of the three major gangs of Tiger, Black Hawk, and Green Shirt in Liu Town?"
Yi Guanming's heart moved, and a rather gentle smile appeared on his face.
Zhou Yifan nodded slightly and said, "Yes, it's this Tsing Yi Gang." Among the three major gangs, only our Tsing Yi Gang has always adhered to the heart of morality, and the gang has very strict restrictions on all members, so its development is very slow. Although we were the first to establish a gang, our strength is the weakest of the three gangs, and we have been suppressed by the other two gangs!"
"Why is that? However, I heard Xue Rou talk about your Green Shirt Gang, which has always had a good reputation in Ruliu Town, and has done a lot of things for the townspeople, and is widely supported by everyone. It's not like the two gangs of the Male Tiger and the Black Eagle, who do all kinds of evil, oppress the people, and provoke the anger of the people!"
Yi Guanming was a little puzzled and said, it stands to reason that a gang like this with a good reputation should develop very well, because he has a good public base.
Xue Jingfang explained: "That's right. My master was born in Ruliu Town, grew up here, and was deeply favored by the townspeople, so he was unwilling to do something that harmed everyone's interests in exchange for the benefits of the gang. In addition, he is strict in accepting apprentices and has high requirements for the conduct of his disciples, and the gang rules and regulations of the Tsing Yi Gang are also extremely strict, so there are fewer people who join the gang, and the development is very slow. The Black Eagle Gang and the Tiger Gang are both developed by outsiders, they act domineering and vicious, absorb the gang without scruples, and the backbone of the gang is strong and strong, and there are many people, so they have been suppressing us. ”
After hearing this, Yi Guanming understood the situation of the Tsing Yi Gang, so he spoke: "Presumably, Master Ling must be a righteous person, otherwise he would not have developed the Tsing Yi Gang like this." However, only a character like him can cultivate two such outstanding children. In my opinion, the cultivation of the two of them should have reached the level of the lower level of the Juyuan Realm, right? At such a young age, it is not easy to achieve this kind of cultivation. ”
Zhou Yifan couldn't help but wonder: "Brother Yi, can you see our cultivation?"
Xue Jingfang's eyes also flashed with a hint of surprise, she didn't expect Yi Guanming to be able to directly see their level of cultivation, this vision was really too sharp.
Yi Guanming smiled at the two of them, and slowly explained: "This is not difficult, because I have learned a set of methods of debate, and I can judge the cultivation level of a martial artist through various performances. ”
"I see. However, I heard that this kind of exercise is very scarce, and Brother Yi can learn it, so he must be a master disciple of which school!"
Zhou Yifan suddenly realized, so he spoke tentatively.
Hearing this, Yi Guanming's heart moved, and he said with a smile: "Don't hide it from the two, I am a casual cultivator, I have no sect, and I have always been home all over the world." ”
"Ah, Brother Yi is not joking, is he? If you are a casual cultivator, how can you be so powerful? Moreover, you can still learn such a scarce exercise as the method of debate. ”
Zhou Yifan couldn't help but exclaim, with deep doubts in his tone.
"That's a bit of a long story. I'll make a long story short! Actually, I joined a rather mysterious force to get to where I am now. ”
Yi Guanming began to fabricate a trumped-up force to cover up his ability and background.
First, lest he be tirelessly probed by various forces, find out his own truth, reveal his identity, and attract endless pursuit and killing of the four great clans before his cultivation is restored enough to protect himself;
Second, it's time for him to start planning for the future and lay out the world. He must begin to build a force of his own to counter the terrifying threat of the Four Great Clans.
Thirdly, he is currently alone, and it is not convenient for him to act, and he must use some strength to help him do something. These forces may still be weak, but don't underestimate them, they are enough to play an important role when it is critical.
"Mysterious forces, please forgive me for taking the liberty of asking, what kind of forces can cultivate a hero like Brother Yi?"
Zhou Yifan's expression paused, and his face couldn't help showing doubts.
Xue Jingfang's eyes paused, and she was also curious: "Yes, Brother Yi, little sister also wants to know, is there anything special about this mysterious force?"
"Brother Ling Chen, what is the name of this mysterious force, why haven't I heard you mention it?"
Even Yan Xuerou next to her was attracted by Yi Guanming's words, arousing a strong desire to explore.
Yi Guanming's gaze stayed on the three of them for a moment, and he smiled slowly: "Since it is a mysterious force, it is natural that I will not tell anyone! In fact, the most important thing is that even I only know a thing or two about it, and I don't know its full situation at all, let alone its name." I only know that this force is very powerful, unimaginably powerful! It's just a very ordinary peripheral member of them, whose martial arts cultivation is at least in the Xuan Xuan Realm, and peripheral members like this are extremely ordinary in their ranks, and there are a lot of them. And on top of these peripheral members, there are regular members, bronze members, silver members, gold members, etc. However, I don't know about the other specifics for the time being. ”
After hearing this, Zhou Yifan couldn't help but exclaim: "What? Dominating the Xuan Realm powerhouse! is it just a peripheral member? And there are still a lot of them!"
Yi Guanming's words also shocked Xue Jingfang's dumbfounded, not to mention that they had never seen such a strong person in the Xuan Realm, even a weaker Qi Transformation Realm master, they had only heard of it. This kind of character is so far away from them that it seriously impacts the imagination of Zhou Yifan and Xue Jingfang!
The mysterious force described by Yi Guanming tossed in the hearts of Zhou Yifan and Xue Jingfang, lingering for a long time, and was extremely shocking. The two of them had no doubts about the authenticity of these words, after all, Yi Guanming's previous strength made them feel that this was credible enough. On the contrary, Yan Xuerou looked calm, and looked at Zhou Yifan and Xue Jingfang's shocked performance with some doubts. Because she is not a martial artist yet, she has no feelings about this kind of thing.
Xue Jingfang shook her senses and asked in a low voice, "Then Brother Yi, what is your role in this mysterious force?"
Yi Guanming replied with a smile: "I'm just a peripheral reserve member, and with my humble strength, I am not qualified to touch too many things of this mysterious force." ”
"Ah, even a powerful person like you, Brother Yi, is only a reserve member on the periphery, so this mysterious force is indeed terrifying!"
Xue Jingfang couldn't help but sigh, thinking about it carefully.
Zhou Yifan asked with some surprise: "Brother Yi, how did you join this force at that time!"
Yi Guanming replied slowly: "It was purely by chance that I joined it, just because during a trip, I met a middle-aged swordsman, and he was a peripheral member of that mysterious force. At that time, we had a very good conversation, and when he saw that my qualifications were not bad, he absorbed me into a preparatory member of the periphery, and then instructed me in my cultivation and taught me some martial arts and exercises. And told me how to contact these peripheral members, and if there are any big things that can't be handled in the future, I can go to them. If one day my cultivation reaches the realm of mastery, I can go to them at any time, and then there will be high-level members to absorb me and make me an existence like them. ”
Xue Jingfang said with envy on her face: "Brother Yi, I really envy you." If only we could join in!"
"It's nothing, as long as you want, I can also contact those seniors and ask them to absorb you into this mysterious force as well. Of course, the premise is that you have to go through some of my assessments, and then I will introduce you, and then you can get their guidance and learn some martial arts and exercises. ”
Yi Guanming looked at Zhou Yifan and Xue Jingfang with a smile, but there was a deep temptation hidden in his flat tone, which made the two of them excited.
Xue Jingfang asked in surprise, "Really?"
Yi Guanming nodded slightly and said with a smile: "Of course, as long as you can pass my assessment first." ”
Just when a few people were talking happily, an extremely arrogant shouting sound came from the street downstairs, implying a strong force, which directly entered the ears of everyone in Piaoxiang Building, attracting everyone to look at it.
"Yi Lingchen, if you have the courage to get out of here, my Black Eagle Gang is going to kill you today!"
