Sword Roaring in the Sky

Chapter 123 Since ancient times: Master and apprentice are like father and son, and gang members are like cattle and horses
Sun Yanwan thought to himself, "So that's what happened." He smiled and said, "Everyone knows about this, there's nothing to repeat. If the old gentlemen have any questions, you can ask Lu Yan and the others. They were also on the boat, so they have a clearer view and may have a more detailed understanding than I do."

Lu Huangshan and Yan Renxiong indeed recounted the events of that day on the Xiangjiang River in detail. Lu Huangshan, in particular, finally found an opportunity to "flatter" Sun Yanwan, praising her as if she were a deity from heaven. This made Yan Renxiong lose his lines several times and he could only nod and say, "Brother Lu is right."

Sun Yanwan really enjoyed the feeling of being praised by others at the dinner table without saying a word.

Lu Huangshan and Yan Renxiong recounted the matter in detail. Sun Yanwan was about to make a few concluding remarks when he heard the elder Hu, who was leading the group, say calmly, "You two are right, but I still want to hear Young Taoist Sun explain it again."

Sun Yanwan was quite displeased and said directly, "It's just a trivial matter. I already know it. Why repeat it so many times?"

Another old man named Hu said loudly, "The Miao family and our Hu family have a deep blood feud. We must listen carefully to this matter. Young Taoist Sun, please don't refuse."

Sun Yanwan was immediately displeased and said calmly, "I don't want to talk about it."

He rejected the request of these old men surnamed Hu.

Sun Yanwan didn't have any good feelings towards the Hu family, nor could he say he had any bad feelings towards them, he was just completely indifferent. But these old men with the surname Hu were so domineering and aggressive that he was really unhappy.

The second person to speak, the old man surnamed Hu, gently slapped the long sword at his waist. The long sword suddenly emitted a clear whistle in its sheath. Lu Huangshan, Yan Renxiong, Sima, Nan Meng, Lingdie, and the women of Emei all changed color when they heard it. He said lightly: "Young Taoist Sun, please continue."

"You're so young, and it's inevitable that you'll encounter some inexplicable things when you're out there. It's a pity that something might happen to you and you'll die halfway."

Sun Yanwan recognized this skill, which was a move of the Hu family's Demon-Slaying Sword, called: Cold Pond Dragon Roar!
This move uses internal force to stimulate the long sword in the box and shoot it out. It is one point faster than drawing the sword by hand and has the effect of catching the enemy off guard.

When the Hu family members were facing off against others, they would often slap the long sword at their waist, and the long sword would suddenly shoot out, taking advantage of the enemy's unpreparedness and achieving success with one strike.

The old man surnamed Hu had no intention of taking action. He just used his inner strength to stimulate the sword and give Sun Yanwan a warning.

The sound of the sword ringing in the box, coupled with the verbal threat, was very powerful. If it were an ordinary person, he would probably be scared.

Sun Yanwan sneered and was about to say something harsh in response when He Youzhen stood up, a smile on his face, and grabbed the leader, the old man surnamed Hu. The old man thought to himself, "We have to give the Songyang Sect some face." He let He Youzhen pull him aside. He Youzhen whispered a few words in his ear, and his face suddenly changed. He said in a deep voice, "Indeed, it's just a trivial matter. The two senior disciples of the Beggars' Sect in the north and south have already explained it in detail. It's natural for Young Taoist Sun to not want to repeat it."

He took the other seven old men and turned and left without even saying hello.

Sun Yanwan was very curious and asked, "What did Senior Brother He say?"

He Youzhen laughed and said, "It's just a friendly gesture."

He thought to himself, "I can't say this in public."

Of the eight elders of the Hu family, at least five were innate. He Youzhen was afraid that if a fight really broke out, even though he could ask for help from his master afterwards, he would inevitably suffer in front of them. So he couldn't help but use a unique skill. He pulled the leading Hu family elder aside and whispered, "Junior Brother Sun is the illegitimate son of my Second Master Zhang."

In fact, the old men of the Hu family did not dare to really hurt Sun Yanwan, but they threatened him and forced him to save face and tell the whole story. They believed that the Seven Friends of Songyang would not cause trouble to them for such a small matter.

Anyway, although He Youzhen present here is at the Xiantian realm and may not be afraid of any elder of the Hu family in a one-on-one fight, he cannot cause any waves with the eight elders here.

But He Youzhen's words immediately dispelled their desire to press the issue. After all, Lu Yan and the others had already explained the truth. They were simply arrogant and self-righteous, so if Sun Yanwan was asked to repeat himself, he would definitely repeat himself. After leaving the He residence, the second person to speak, the old man named Hu, asked, "Brother! What did that He say? Why should we give way?"

"It's not like our Hu family doesn't have a Grandmaster, so why should we be afraid of them?"

The eldest brother of the Hu family pondered for a moment, determined not to tell anyone about this "huge secret", and said tactfully: "Since ancient times: Master and apprentice are like father and son, and gang members are like cattle and horses."

"If Sun Yanwan is a member of some gang, we can just bully her."

"Even if we kill a few demon generals of the Demon Cult, Yang Wuji will not fight us to death. As long as we compensate him with sufficient benefits, Yang Wuji might be happy and can promote his confidants again."

"But Sun Yanwan is Zhang Yuanqiao's apprentice after all. He only has two apprentices like this, so he must be spoiled..."

The other old men surnamed Hu disagreed with this statement. They didn't want to do anything to Sun Yanwan. They just wanted to scare him and force him to tell them how they drove Miao Canglang away on the Xiangjiang River. But since their eldest brother had said so, they couldn't argue. They just thought that this eldest brother was probably confused.

Sun Yanwan was quite curious about the affairs of the Miao and Hu families, but he usually practiced martial arts diligently and never paid attention to the affairs of the martial arts world. This time, when things came to this point, he casually asked, "The Hu family is so powerful. What are the origins of these eight old men?"

Lu Huangshan said: "The person with the highest martial arts skills in the Hu family is naturally Grandmaster Hu Qingdi. Then there are the three elders who have not come out for many years and are said to be in seclusion practicing a very powerful martial art."

"Next up are the eight elders of the Hu family. The eldest, Hu Yunshou, the third, Hu Yunshu, the fifth, Hu Yunji, the sixth, Hu Yunzhang, and the seventh, Hu Yunqian, are all at the Xiantian realm. The second, Hu Yunxiang, the fourth, Hu Yunji, and the eighth, Hu Yunqing, are slightly weaker in martial arts, but are also at the first or second rank."

"Someone once said that when the eight elders appear together, the whole world will cry!"

"Their hatred for the Miao family runs deep. They must have learned of Miao Canglang's whereabouts and are hunting him down."

He Youzhen laughed and said, "Originally, the Hu family had more than ten Xiantians, but several of them were killed one after another by the previous generation of masters of the Miao family. Now, only the eight elders of the Hu family are left to keep up the family."

Sun Yanwan thought to himself, "Master Miao Youxiu said that his grandfather and father were besieged by seven or eight elders of the Hu family and died a tragic death."

"The hatred between the Miao and Hu families can only be resolved if all members of one family are wiped out."

"Right now, it seems like the Hu family has a better chance of winning!"

"I don't know when Master Miao Canglang and Master Miao Youxiu will get married!"

"If they don't have a few more children, the Miao family... will be in big trouble!"

Sun Yanwan never imagined that one day she would be worrying about other people's marriages and become the one who urges them to get married...
