The shopkeeper panicked, and he couldn't see a few people in this small place a year.

Although the two of them fought very restrained in the restaurant, they inevitably bumped into tables, chairs and benches. After a while, the restaurant that didn't have many customers ran out. The shopkeeper and the shopkeeper shrank behind the counter, not daring to come out.

"Stop!" Xu Qingchen hurriedly stopped.

The woman asked, "What's wrong?"

Xu Qingchen threw down two taels of silver and said, "Let's change places, don't smash other people's industries."

The two men left the town and came to a small hillside outside the town, where they continued to fight.

Xu Qingchen wanted to laugh a little, it was too inexplicable.

After fighting for a while, Xu Qingchen didn't want to laugh anymore, the strange feeling of fighting Zhang Yuan some time ago came back, and there was really a problem with their Tianquan Sect's boxing technique.

Ayahan is not Xu Qingchen's opponent, if she was serious, Ayahan would have lost a long time ago. Ayahan also realized this, she withdrew her hands and said angrily, "Don't fight, you won."

Xu Qingchen put his sword into the sheath, pinched his chin with his left hand and thought.

Ayahan looked at him with interest and asked, "What do you want?"

Xu Qingchen raised his head and said, "One more fight."

"Huh?"

In desperation, the two fought for another fifty rounds and stopped again. Xu Qingchen pinched his chin again and began to think.

Ayahan frowned and asked, "You're weird."

When they meet, she will do it, and she is embarrassed to say that others are strange.

After thinking about it for a long time, Xu Qingchen finally figured out the reason, he clapped his hands happily and said with a smile, "Wait a minute."

After saying that, he ran to the side of the bush and broke off three branches, one long and two short. He threw the two short ones to Ayahan and said, "Miss Ayahan, you use this."

"You know me?"

"I often hear Brother Zhang mention you."

"Why should I use this?" Xu Qingchen became even more strange in Ayahan's eyes, and said in his heart: Senior brother and sister-in-law want to introduce a fool to me?

Ayahan, who was holding the two wooden sticks, showed her hands, and Xu Qingchen saw that the things on the back of her hands were made of stainless steel, and the chopsticks were thick and thin, attached to the back of her hands like bones. Like Zhang Yuan's iron set, there are mechanisms at the joints, which do not affect the bending of the joints. The difference is that it is much lighter than Zhang Yuan's iron fist, only protected by a wrap at the fingertips, and comes with sharp iron nails that are more than half an inch long.

Xu Qingchen patiently explained, "After the last time I competed with my eldest brother, I found something strange in your boxing technique. Obviously the distance is not enough, but I still have to bend my arm. The stabbing of the fist is a bit far-fetched, and you don't need your forearm when you block, which is weird."

"What's so weird?" Ayahan said, "The boxing techniques of our Heavenly Fist Gate are inherently different from other boxing techniques."

"Perhaps, it's not a fist at all?"

"Huh?" Ayahan was a little puzzled, "It's not a fist technique, it's a sword technique?"

"It's supposed to be twin blades."

Ayahan looked down at the two short wooden sticks in her hand, thoughtful.

"Let's fight again," Xu Qingchen said, "this time you try to integrate your fists into the double sword."

Xu Qingchen said very reasonably, Ayahan nodded, took off the "fist glove" in his hand and threw it on the ground, and tried to wave the wooden stick with both hands.

"Huh?" After trying to swing the wooden stick with a fist move, Ayahan's eyes filled with strangeness.

Next, without waiting for Qingchen to speak, Aya said excitedly, "Come on! One more fight!"

Xu Qingchen's guess was right, this set of boxing techniques of the Heavenly Fist Gate was indeed a double knife method. At first, Ayahan was a little uncomfortable, but after dozens of moves, Ayahan gradually became familiar with it, and the wooden stick in his hand was also waved much faster. Xu Qingchen was a little overwhelmed for a while.

The two of them broke a dozen or so sticks until it was dark.

The two of them sat on the grass to catch their breath and rest. The discussion just now made the hairpin and other ornaments on Ayahan's head messy, and she simply took off all the things on her head and simply pulled her hair up.

Xu Qingchen watched her tie her hair and asked, "Are you not used to dressing up?"

Ayahan smiled and replied, "My sister-in-law said in the letter that I would have time to meet you, and specially told me to dress up better. I've never dressed so formally since I've grown up. However, after meeting you, I was only unconvinced."

"Not convinced?"

"That's right, Senior Brother said that you are better than him, and he is not your opponent at all. I thought, at such a young age, how can martial arts be so high? The kid they introduced to me before, they would praise it unrealistically, I thought you were also an embroidered pillow. Looks like I'm wrong."

This girl is a cool person, and she is very comfortable chatting with her.

Xu Qingchen asked, "Has Miss Ayahan been walking the rivers and lakes all these years?"

Ayahan shook her head, "It's not interesting, I used to like to look around." Because my sister-in-law said that the world is very big, and there are many beautiful scenery and people. I've been playing outside for a few years and I've found it better to settle down."

"Where do you live now?"

"Heavenly Fist Gate," Ayahan said with an innocent smile on her face, "It's not far from here. After the death of the master, the sect was abandoned, and I went back last year to take a good rest, but I was the only one who lived alone, and my brother and sister-in-law did not go back for many years."

As he spoke, Ayahan stood up and stretched, and said, "I still want to thank you, if it weren't for you, I don't know how many years the secret of our sect's boxing method would have been hidden. Okay, I've seen it, Xu Gongzi, don't leave it at that."

Ayahan's personality is straightforward, there are no twists and turns, and it is very crisp.

Xu Qingchen picked up the fist gloves that Ayahan had dropped and asked, "Miss Ayahan, don't you want this?"

Ayahan glanced back and said, "I gave it to you, I won't need it in the future anyway."

"Okay, next time we meet, I'll give you a pair of knives."

"What you said," Ayahan looked pleased, "Don't break your word...... Hehe, all my money is given to my brother and sister-in-law, the two of them travel around the world, and they spend a lot of money, and I never save money on me. It cost me all my savings before I came."

"That...... Isn't it your dowry?"

"Dowry?" Ayahan looked puzzled, "I never thought about getting married, so how can I have any dowry. Anyway, it's getting late, and I have to rush back. The green mountains do not change, the green water flows forever, let's meet again."

Xu Qingchen nodded, and Ayahan turned around and walked down the mountain, because he was happy, he walked very happily, bouncing like a deer. Xu Qingchen suddenly thought of Yao Xinxin, Miss Yao is not a few years younger than Ayahan, and she is also an innocent and lively character, hey, it's a pity.

…

A day later, Xu Qingchen arrived at the Thorn Gate before sunset.

The disciple guarding the door took the wooden sign he handed over and led him into the inner door.

The Thorn Gate was not very peaceful during this time, and after the new gate master took the throne, not everyone obeyed her. The people who had some opinions about the old master took this opportunity to break away from the Thorn Gate, but there were also many young people who joined, and it was quite balanced on the whole.

In Master Feng Yao's bedroom, Yang Fan was making tea, and Feng Yao was lying on a rocking chair, looking at the scroll in his hand, smiling from time to time.

"Oh," Feng Yao sighed, "I didn't expect that I would be a lot older, and I would still be on this Zhuge list, and I would have to compete with the children."

Yang Fan smiled and said, "It's just that good people are discharged, but this Chaolan Valley Li Fenglan has been very famous recently. The two maids under her can actually rank as masters of the Heavenly Character, and Chao Langgu's strength should not be underestimated."

"There is no mediocrity in Changfeng Building, Mo Changfeng was anxious and righteous back then, and even the popularity of the old master could not compare to him. Chen Tong and Fu Yanhe, who were the most powerful young talents back then, were all impressed by him. The children they have raised can be imagined."

"Our master should not be underestimated, and he can be on this heavenly list."

Feng Yao looked at Yang Fan with a smile and asked, "Master Yang, if you don't make the list, is your heart unbalanced?"

Yang Fan smiled suddenly: "It's not the best, it's going to be remembered." I can't stand the toss with my physique...... Master Feng, you haven't answered my question yet."

"You're not an anxious person, why are you so unsinkable

Gas?"

"If I can't hold my breath, I'll go home early. Honestly, did the old master arrange something?"

"Indeed, that's it," Feng Yao seemed to figure something out, "Yang Fan, you're also a smart person. A few days ago, you and Xiong San accompanied the owner to Luzhou, I believe you can see something, and the owner also told you something, right?"

"Yes...... It's just that I can't say."

"I'm afraid I'm not someone you can trust?"

"Yes."

"I ask you, are you going to follow the new master with all your heart?"

"I believe in the old master, if it wasn't for the old master to pass on my internal skills, I wouldn't have survived for a few years. If it is really the meaning of the old master, I will fight for this life, and I will also assist the new master. So, what about Master Feng?"

Feng Yao shook the rocking chair and said leisurely, "The old master blamed himself for what happened back then. failed to keep the Li family and the Shangguan family...... In the years that followed, he blamed me all the time."

"Why?"

"I came up with the idea of the Shan Bao Bai family," Feng Yao closed his eyes, as if recalling, "Shangguan Cheng, it's a good child, it's a pity...... I analyzed back then, the strength of the Thorn Gate is not enough to extinguish the anger of the Jianghu people, if the three families are forcibly protected, the Thorn Gate will not end well. The old master listened to my words and saved the Bai family. But in the years that followed, he blamed himself more and more, and he thought that he had the strength to keep the three families back then. Hey......"

"Old master, how did you die?"

"I've thought about it, but when I think about it, there's only one person."

"Who?"

"Li Fengyao."

"The eldest lady of the Li family back then?"

"Yes."

"Why did she want to kill the old master? Is it because the old master didn't protect their Li family?"

"Yes."

Yang Fan was a little puzzled: "Isn't this too unreasonable?"

"yes......"

"You still haven't answered my question."

"I said you're a kid, just get to the point, do you have to say it so clearly?"

"Normally, but not this time, you have to make it clear."

"Okay, I'll ......."

Before he could say anything, he heard someone shouting outside the door, "Master Feng, someone has come to take refuge, and they are holding the door master's waist card."

Feng Yao asked, "Did anyone bring it?"

"Brought."

"Please come in."

Xu Qingchen followed the gatekeeper into the house, and there were two people in the house, an old man and a young man. The old man didn't know him, but the young man had seen it, and it was the person next to Shen Xiangzhi at that time.

"Xu Gongzi!" Yang Fan's eyes lit up, "You really came."

Xu Qingchen clenched his fists and said, "Thank you for the care of the Shen Sect Master, I am here to thank you."

Yang Fanxin said: Take care? When was it taken care of?

But now is not the time to worry about this, Yang Fan said, "Come on, come on, I'll introduce you, this is our Master Feng, when the door master is not there, he has the final say. Master Feng, this is what I mentioned to you, Xu Qingchen, Xu Shaoxia."

Xu Qingchen said, "I've seen Master Feng."

Feng Yao smiled and nodded, and said, "Well, it's a talent, sit down."
