Chinese martial arts! Grandmaster

Woohoo——!
A mountain wind blew through Lianyun Village at night, making people feel a bit chilly.

but,

Tonight, Lianyun Village is having a bonfire gathering, with men and women singing and dancing, creating a very lively atmosphere.

Because this place is located on the outer edge of the Kunlun Mountains, it is the only way to get into the mountains.

Therefore,
Over the years, many caravans wanting to enter the Kunlun Mountains have used Lianyun Village as a supply point.

As a result, the entire Lianyun Village became very lively and had a strong commercial atmosphere.

Following a road through the middle of Lianyun Village, you can see lanterns hanging everywhere.

There are many shops and stalls on both sides of the road.

Many villagers dressed in Tibetan clothing were selling things at small stalls.

There were vendors selling swords, beef jerky, and other unique clothing items.

Chen Jie walked along the road in Lianyun Village, looking at the various vendors with great interest.

To his surprise, many of the items sold at the stall were products of Simon Tang.

It seems that the canal gangs had a very wide range of business channels, even selling industrialized products here.

The beautiful woman was strolling ahead with Ya Ya, the three of them.

Chen Jie strolled among the various vendors, occasionally buying some local specialties.

Although paper money has been implemented throughout the Great Qian Dynasty and has achieved good results.

but,

In Lianyun Village, all items can only be purchased with silver dollars or copper coins; paper money is not circulated.

Fortunately, Changfeng Escort Agency was prepared and could exchange paper money, but some handling fees would be required.

Bai He and Lan Feng followed not far away.

The two chatted quietly, showing absolutely no interest in the vendors lining the roads of Lianyun Village.

"Lan Feng, tell me the truth, you don't actually like this scholar Chen Jie, do you? He has no martial arts skills, and he's not one of us!"

Bai He asked Lan Feng in a low voice.

Upon hearing this, Lan Feng turned to look at the tall figure in front of her, a smile appearing on her face as she replied:

"I don't know! To be honest, I don't know if I like him, but whenever I see him, I feel very at ease."

Bai He frowned and said, "We are people of the martial world, different from him!"

"What's the difference? I just won't enter the martial arts world. Who says that martial artists can't seek out scholars?"

"He doesn't practice martial arts, which means he avoids a lot of trouble in the martial arts world. If I were to be with him, it might be a good thing."

Lan Feng smiled calmly, a glint of light in her eyes.

Bai He was completely speechless. She stopped and asked, "Lan Feng! You're not serious, are you?"

Lan Feng thought for a moment, then nodded seriously and said:
"At first I wasn't sure, but now I've figured it out, and I'm serious this time!"

"I have always believed that there must be a connection between lovers."

"I never expected that this trip to Kunlun Mountain with you to relax would lead me to the person I've been dreaming of."

"Although he didn't practice martial arts and was just an ordinary person, I could feel that I had fallen for him."

"Since fate has brought us together, I must strive to make the most of it."

this moment,
It was quite obvious that Lan Feng had made up her mind.

Bai He couldn't help but take a deep breath and fall into deep thought.

She and Lan Feng are fellow disciples of the Qinghu Sword Sect, both inner disciples. They have been together for almost ten years and know each other very well.

Normally, Lan Feng is very carefree and doesn't seem to care about anything.

in fact,

Bai He knew better than anyone that Lan Feng was a very principled and pure-hearted person.

She has always admired her senior brother and finds it almost impossible for her to like other men.

Even though she knew very early on that there would be no future between her and her senior brother.

but,

She still admired her senior brother as always.

From childhood to adulthood, she had never had any deeper contact with any man.

Many of her fellow disciples in the Qinghu Sword Sect had pursued her, but she never wavered in her resolve.

She is actually very proud and aloof, and ordinary men rarely catch her eye.

But today, Lan Feng unexpectedly fell in love with a scholar she had just met during a trip.

A scholar who has never practiced martial arts!

hiss--!
Thinking of this, Bai He couldn't help but take a deep breath, finding it hard to believe.

From Lan Feng's expression, she could tell that Lan Feng was serious this time and was definitely not joking.

When a woman falls in love, her eyes will light up.

"Don't forget, you are a young lady from the Lan family of Xining. The gap between you is like an insurmountable chasm!"

Bai He said with a serious expression:

"You can disregard everything else, but when it comes to marriage, it's all about matching social status and background."

“You are not only a young lady of the Lan family in Xining, but also an inner disciple of the Qinghu Sword Sect.”

"Chen Jie is just a scholar. As the saying goes, a scholar is useless. His family background, status, position and so on are far inferior to yours."

"Lan Feng, if you give up everything and really stay with him."

Have you thought about the future?

At this point, Bai He became extremely serious.

Marriage is a serious matter, not a game.

She was betrothed by her family to Wang Chuyi of the Wang family in Xining, and she was always resentful of it.

but,

She was very rational and understood the significance of arranged marriages between families.

Although deep down she disliked Wang Chuyi and even hated his way of doing things.

but,

In terms of family background, marrying the young master of the Wang family would definitely be the wisest choice.

"As your martial arts skills improve, the gap between you and a scholar will become increasingly larger."

"And most importantly, do you really know him?"

The atmosphere became heavy, and only the biting cold wind remained.

Lan Feng fell silent, her mind filled with a myriad of thoughts.

She knew very well that Bai He was talking about very real issues.

A good match!

This is definitely not an empty talk.

If one truly wants to be with a scholar, one must plan ahead and prepare for the future.

After a while,
Lan Feng nodded, took a deep breath, and said:
"I understand everything you're saying!"

"But I've already made up my mind, I'm willing to give up everything I have now."

“If my family doesn’t agree, I will run away from home. I am willing to give up my identity as a disciple of the Qinghu Sword Sect.”

"As for your claim that you don't understand Chen Jie, won't you understand him after you get together with him?"

"I trust my intuition; he's the one I've been looking for."

After saying that, she turned her gaze to Chen Jie, who was not far away, and said with a firm expression:

"Who says scholars are useless? In my heart, he is the most dazzling person in the world."

Bai He was completely dumbfounded.

"you--"

She was at a loss for words and her head was spinning.

crazy!

This girl has completely lost her mind.

For a scholar, he abandoned his family background, his status as a disciple of the Qinghu Sword Sect, and his martial arts!
does it worth?
Bai He looked up at Miao Feng in utter shock, and sighed helplessly:
"If your family knew what you were thinking right now, you'd be finished!"

Lan Feng shook her head and laughed, "Alright, let's not talk about that! It's not even close to being settled yet."

"Right now, I just like him, but whether he likes me or not, nobody can say for sure."

"Don't make a scene only to find out that she doesn't even have feelings for me. That would be awkward." Neither Lan Feng nor Bai He noticed the shocked expression on Chen Jie's face, who was more than ten meters away.

With his current level of spiritual refinement.

Even without consciously using his spiritual sense to explore his surroundings, he can easily hear sounds from a hundred meters away with his hearing alone.

Although Lan Feng and Bai He were whispering and chatting, their conversation was clearly heard by Chen Jie.

"Are you kidding me? Do women in the martial arts world really have such vivid imaginations?"

Chen Jie was completely speechless and couldn't help but shake his head and laugh.

What kind of world is this?!

However, it must be said that people from the martial arts world do have somewhat different ways of doing things.

For a while,
Chen Jie thought of Aunt Thirteen and Eighth Sister; their ways of doing things were completely different from Li Lingyue and Chunlan.

-

It is a hundred miles away from Lianyun Village.

In a small valley, many tents were set up.

Inside the tent in the very center, two burly men stood guard at the entrance.

Although it was just a temporary tent, the inside was surprisingly luxurious.

A middle-aged, burly man wearing a tiger-skin coat sat imposingly on a chair inside the tent.

His face was full of fat and his skin was rough.

At first glance, his face was covered in bumps, just like a pineapple.

His gaze was deep, and strange patterns were tattooed on his arms.

From any perspective, this person gives off an extremely intimidating vibe, with a menacing aura.

In particular, the murderous aura emanating from him seemed ready to erupt at any moment.

In front of him, a large knife hung in mid-air, slowly slicing raw beef.

It wasn't grilled beef, but freshly slaughtered raw beef, still steaming and with the blood not yet congealed.

If an ordinary martial artist were to witness this scene, they would be utterly shocked.

Such strong control!

An enormous battle blade, like a carving knife suspended in mid-air, continuously cut and separated the tenderest parts of the beef.

Swish!
After cutting off a piece of beef, it flew directly into the mouth of the burly man with a face full of scars.

He chewed a few times and swallowed the bloody beef.

Next,
He took a towel from the shelf next to him, gently wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth, and said:
"What's the situation? Have you tracked down Yang Wenbo?"

Two men in black emerged from a corner inside the tent.

Their appearance is very distinctive, resembling that of Japanese ninjas.

However, it was obvious that they were not Japanese ninjas, but bodyguards.

The weapons they used were not Japanese samurai swords, but Miao swords.

The two were rather thin, and their entire bodies were shrouded in black clothing. Once they disappeared into the darkness, it would be almost impossible to detect their presence without using one's spiritual senses.

"We have located Yang Wenbo's whereabouts; he is currently in Lianyun Village."

"Yang Wenbo, along with his wife and daughter, is preparing to enter the Kunlun Mountains, presumably intending to seek refuge with his father-in-law."

One of the men in black reported this, his tone unusually respectful.

The burly man with a face full of scars frowned slightly upon hearing this.

"That bastard Yang Wenbo is quite clever; he actually gave up everything in Guanzhong and ran to the Kunlun Mountains."

“If he really stays in the Kunlun Mountains for three to five years, I really will give up the hunt.”

The man in black quickly said, "Sir, we've already got our eyes on him. He can't escape."

"Even if he goes into the Kunlun Mountains, we can still find him."

His tone was full of confidence.

In the Northwest, anyone who is targeted by the 'secret guards' has no chance of escaping.

The burly man nodded slightly, expressing his appreciation for his subordinate's competence.

"You guys did a good job, keep a close eye on him!"

"Remember, just keep an eye on him. There's no need to take action. Once I get to Lianyun Village, his death is imminent."

"Although Yang Wenbo's martial arts skills are only at the mid-stage of the Marrow Transformation Realm, his wife's martial arts skills are very strong, and she has already broken through to the early stage of the Blood-Moving Pill Realm."

"You are no match for that couple, so don't alert them."

The man in black stood at attention and said, "Yes, sir!"

"Yang Wenbo, you can run away, but you can't hide!"

The burly man with a face full of scars took another bite of the raw beef.

As he chewed, he said, "You think I'll let you go if you give up your family business in Guanzhong?"

"In the Guanzhong region, anyone who offends me, Yanluo Dantu, will be killed!"

"I never leave anyone alive. If you escape, how am I supposed to face the world after this?"

As he ate raw beef, the large knife that had been hovering in mid-air slowly fell into his hand.

Clang——!
With a single slash, a flash of light illuminated the entire tent.

Click!

As a sound rang out, a wooden frame five meters away was cleaved in two by a sharp blade.

Woohoo——!
A sharp blade flashed past the severed wooden frame and disappeared into the darkness outside the tent.

The 'guards' inside the tent looked up at the fierce-looking burly man and became even more respectful.

-

Inside Lianyun Village.

Everyone shopped until 10:30 p.m.

Ya Ya had already been sleeping soundly on her father's shoulder, drooling.

Chen Jie followed the others back from Lianyun Village to the caravan's encampment.

"Chen Jie, see you tomorrow morning! Thank you for accompanying me to Lianyun Village tonight."

Lan Feng spoke warmly to Chen Jie.

For some reason, the more she looked at Chen Jie, the brighter her eyes became.

quickly,

Pulled by Baihe, she went inside the carriage to rest.

Chen Jie entered his carriage, but instead of resting, he took out "The Secret Realm of Kunlun" and began to read it.

"After entering the Kunlun Mountains tomorrow, I need to find an opportunity to break away from the caravan."

Has the current leader of the Kunlun Sect broken through to the [Sword Saint] realm?

"A sword emerges from Kunlun, a peerless swordsman descends upon the world. I hope your sword will not disappoint me!"

With that thought in mind, he took out a bottle of life essence and began to circulate the Vajra Technique to refine and absorb it.

After refining and absorbing the life essence, he immersed himself in comprehending the way of the sword.

No sleep for one night.

The next morning, the Changfeng Escort Agency gathered everyone together to prepare for their departure into the Kunlun Mountains.

Breakfast has been prepared in advance.

Everyone in the caravan, including the grooms,镖客 (bodyguards), and tourists, began to gather together to eat breakfast.

During breakfast, the head of Changfeng Escort Agency began to give instructions on various precautions for entering the Kunlun Mountains.

This is the third time I've given this instruction.

This shows that even the Changfeng Escort Agency dared not let their guard down after entering the Kunlun Mountains.

"The inside and outside of the Kunlun Mountains are completely different. Everyone should not leave the group without permission."

“There have been instances in the past where people who left the pack were surrounded and eaten by wolves.”

"When you enter the mountains, you must have a sense of awe. Many horrific things have happened in the Kunlun Mountains."

"While you are in the caravan, our Changfeng Escort Agency is responsible for your safety, but once you leave the caravan, we will not be responsible for you."

"Never think that just because you are good at martial arts, you are fearless. Every year, many masters die in the Kunlun Mountains."

"—"

Chen Jie stood to the side, quietly listening to the words of the Changfeng Escort Agency leader as he admonished everyone. (End of Chapter)
