Chapter Ninety-Two: Here Comes the Fault Finder
There is a mansion outside the Daimyo's Mansion that seems to have been abandoned for a long time, and the elderly locals know that this mansion used to be the place where a certain martial arts master opened a sect. Twenty years ago, the Grand Master participated in a competition, and when he returned, he closed his door, and slowly, the house was deserted. Because of the biased status, no one knows whether there is anyone else in this house.
It's almost winter, and it's located on the plain, so the wind and sand are very strong. The doors and windows of the house were closed, and the coughing of an old man could be faintly heard.
The courtyard was overgrown with weeds, most of the houses were dilapidated, and only the largest room was barely inhabitable.
The cough came from that room.
The house was lit with a fire, so it was warm. A petite girl with a beautiful face was adding firewood to the fire, and pulled the firewood a few times with an iron skewer, and the fire burned even more vigorously. She picked up the teapot from the fire and walked to the side of the wooden bed. On the wooden bed, an old man with gray hair lay reclining. The old man was very old, so old that he couldn't tell how old he was.
The girl poured a cup of tea, brought it to the old man's mouth, and whispered, "Master, take a sip of tea."
The old man took the teacup and did not drink it, but quietly held it in his hand, as if to warm his hands.
There were two other people in the room, one was a young man about the same age as the girl, sitting cross-legged on the ground, looking through a book in his hand. The other lay behind the screen and fell asleep, snoring loudly.
"Jing'er......" the old man spoke, his throat as if it had been stuffed with cotton, "How many years?"
This question has been asked by the master since the beginning of this year.
The girl replied, "It has been nineteen years since Changfeng Tower entered the Asaran Valley, and my brother and I have been studying art with you for nine years."
Normally, after she finished answering, Master would stop talking, but today was different, Master seemed to have something to say.
The old man nodded, "Self-...... It has been almost 60 years since I came out of Taihang Mountain as a teacher. Twenty years ago, he faced countless masters for his division and never tasted defeat. But...... I was still defeated at the hands of a man, a little girl. Hehe...... What kind of martial arts master, he can't even touch a finger of others, and he loses like a dog."
The boy and girl were a little shocked, I hadn't heard the master say this. Behind the screen, the snoring also stopped.
The old man continued, "The person who won me is Chen Tong of Changfeng Tower. When I was young, I relied on light skills and swordsmanship, who would have thought that I was not an opponent of others. I was not convinced, and I was going to cultivate for a few more years to find a way back, but the more I cultivated, the more hopeless I became...... I'm too old to go any further. That's how I picked you up."
The girl tilted her head and asked, "Does Master want us to get you back to the field?"
The old man nodded: "You two brothers and sisters, Jing'er is good at light skills, and good at singing swordsmanship. In terms of light skills and swordsmanship alone, the two of you combined have exceeded the peak of being a teacher by too much."
The young man asked, "Even Master can't win, do you think we can?"
The old man nodded and replied, "Yes."
The boy got up from the ground and said, "We two brothers and sisters must find a place for Master!"
The old man coughed a few times, finally drank the tea, and said, "Chen Tong is in Chaolan Valley, you can't get in, but her heirs came out a few days ago, you can find them to practice your hands first."
The girl asked, "Where are they?"
The old man stretched out his hand and took out a scroll and threw it to the maiden, saying, "Here is their message, go while it is still early, and someone will tell you where you are going."
"Hahahahaha," a sharp whisper suddenly came from behind the screen, "Old man, you're confused, aren't you?" With these two little brutes? You might as well let me go."
When the young man heard this, his face turned red with anger, and he shouted, "You are only a little brute!"
The girl hurriedly grabbed the boy and said, "Brother, don't be like him."
The man behind the screen was still smiling, laughing breathlessly, as if he had heard some big joke. His voice was sharp and hoarse, and he smiled dryly at the vulture.
"Seriously," the man finally stopped laughing, "Old man, as long as you give me this job, I will definitely help you get rid of the three yellow-haired girls in Chaolan Valley, as long as you pass on the Heartless Sword Technique to me."
"Hmph," the old man sneered, "Heartless Sword, you can't practice."
"Hehe," the man said, "you don't know yet, do you? Yang Yanxiong, who ranked tenth that year, lost, and was beaten and had no power to fight back. Do you think these two little brutes are rivals?"
The old man opened his eyes slightly, and a sharp light rushed out of his eyes: "Yang Yanxiong, that waste, it's normal to lose to anyone...... Alright, you brothers and sisters, let's get on our way."
"Yes! Master!".
…
Li Fenglan and others searched around Chuzhou for more than half a month, but still found nothing. Bai Shuyu and Li Fenglan both felt that it was not a way to go on like this, so they decided to go back to Luoyang first, meet the old people of Changfeng Building in the idler's hall, and then go to Chang'an.
Before leaving, no one saw him off, only Bai Shuang'er took his subordinates to watch secretly from afar, not forgetting to wipe a handful of tears. During this time, although Bai Shuyu and her father and brother repeatedly ordered her not to go to another hospital, she didn't listen, and she still went twice a day. Gradually, Li Fenglan and the others also got used to the white frost.
After walking for more than ten days, I arrived in Xuzhou.
Because the three girls were not used to riding horses, Bai Shuyu spent a lot of money to buy a luxuriously decorated carriage before leaving, which was much more spacious than the previous ones, and the two horses were pulled, which was very magnificent.
Li Fenglan felt that it was too expensive, and it was too eye-catching, so she refused very much. But Bai Shuyu thinks that Ye Yu Xiaozhu has just spent a lot of effort to encircle and suppress them, not only did he not succeed, but he also lost a lot of people, and he will not come again in a short time, so it is better to be comfortable.
During the time they were on their way, they received two summonses, one was the news that Xiao Ash had brought to Chaolan Valley. The news was quite shocking, briefly explaining Mu Zi's visit to Chaolan Valley and clarifying her identity. This made Li Fenglan blame herself, she was still kind and easy to trust others.
Another letter was sent by a man dressed as a farmer, and the farmer was an ordinary farmer, saying that a middle-aged man had asked him to send it. The content of the letter is simple.
"Miss Li Fenglan of Chaolan Valley is personally opened, Huaju is just beginning, and the list is now submitted, and the rest will be completed within two months."
After reading the letter, Li Fenglan smiled slightly.
Bai Shuyu outside the car asked, "What is written on the letter sent by the old man?"
Li Fenglan lifted the curtains and said with a smile, "The few hiding places I built for the Gongyu clan have already been built."
"Huh?" Amber was a little strange, "Didn't you say that the Gongyi clan wouldn't take over our business?"
Jade said, "At that time, there were people from the Songshan faction who were present and deceived them."
Bai Shuyu asked, "Are any of the several hideouts you built close to us?" If there were, I wouldn't have to spend the night in Xuzhou City tonight."
Li Fenglan looked at the list on the letter and frowned: "Yes, yes, yes, but it's far away from us, it will take two days to rush over, and we have to find a place to spend the night tonight."
Zhu Mingyu said, "It's better to find a small place to spend the night, it's easy to run away if something happens." I remember that there was a small town here, and the year before last, I stayed here with Master for a few days. The town is quiet and not crowded."
Li Fenglan nodded: "Then do as Daoist Zhu said."
The town was not far from them, and it took less than an hour to get there.
As Zhu Mingyu said, the town is not big and there are few people, but it is very peaceful. They first found an inn to live in, and seeing that it was still early, Li Fenglan asked everyone to take a look around the town and buy some necessary supplies.
Li Fenglan and Jade walked on the streets of the town, and when the lights were on, the originally quiet small town was brightly lit. The night market is bustling with pedestrians. The two stunning beauties took a look at this and that, and after a while, they attracted the attention of countless young men.
Li Fenglan couldn't stand such a gaze, and being stared at made her uncomfortable. Jade is different, she doesn't care about other people's eyes by nature.
The town is not big, and after walking less than half a pillar of incense, it walked from the north to the south, and then walked two steps out of the town. Li Fenglan and Jade also bought a lot of things, and they couldn't take them anymore.
Li Fenglan said, "Let's go back."
Emerald nodded, "Yes."
At this moment, I suddenly heard someone not far behind me
Speak to them.
"Lao Jia, which of you is Li Fenglan?"
Li Fenglan turned her head, and Jade took a vigilant step forward to protect her behind her.
Not far ahead, there were two people, a man and a woman, both of whom were not very old.
Li Fenglan replied, "I am, who are you two?"
The girl smiled slightly, "Looks like we've found the right person."
Emerald asked, "Looking for trouble?"
"That's right," the young man replied, "I heard that Li Fenglan is a martial artist alone, even more powerful than Chen Tong back then, and the two maids under her are also unparalleled in swordsmanship, (Jade roared: Who is her maid?!) I saw it today, but that's it."
Rare Jade was a little annoyed, and she emphasized again: "First, I'm not her maid, and second, I haven't done it yet, but how did this come about?"
"Oh?" The girl laughed, "Isn't it? We'll know if we fight."
Jade had already dropped the big bag and small bag in her hand on the ground, Li Fenglan stretched out her hand to stop Jade: "Don't be provoked by them, Amber is still in the town, it's better for everyone to ...... together."
Before she could speak, the girl said sarcastically, "I heard that you were seriously injured in the Medicine Immortal Valley, how did you get injured if you really had such a good light skill?"
Li Fenglan suddenly became angry, she gritted her teeth and asked, "What did you say?"
The girl spun the long sword in her hand around with the sheath in her hand, and said, "Compare to one?"
Li Fenglan asked, "What's the comparison?"
The girl pointed at Li Fenglan and said, "I'm competing with you for light skills, and she is competing with my brother for swordsmanship, how about it?"
"Good!" Li Fenglan responded loudly, then turned her head to Jade and said, "Don't keep your hands, beat me to death."
Emerald nodded.
After speaking, Li Fenglan's figure flickered, and the person had already jumped up, and landed on the archway of the town like a fallen leaf, and said to the woman: "You chase me, there is no time limit, if you catch up with me, even if you win, if you can't catch up, or if you are tired and vomit, even if I lose."
The girl smiled and said, "Okay." After speaking, the person had already risen from the ground and rushed towards Li Fenglan.
This girl's light skills are really good, and the leap just now has already impressed Li Fenglan. It seems that this woman has the confidence to win Li Fenglan in light skills, and she is a little dependent. Li Fenglan didn't dare to slack off, turned around and flew out of the town.
The young man looked at the jade, smiled crookedly, and said, "The two of us will be simple, as long as we ......."
Before he finished speaking, Jade had already stabbed him with his sword finger in his hand. The young man hurriedly dodged and said angrily, "I haven't made a rule yet!"
Jade said coldly, "Never die."
