Sword Roaring in the Sky

Chapter 41 Namco, Namco Nine

The girl pulled Sun Lingdie over to the group of people and said happily, "Look, who did I pull over?"

"The Tianji Sun family, the famous Fairy Lingdie."

"Let me tell you, she always makes herself look ugly when she travels around the world. You are very lucky to be able to see the true face of the Fairy Lingdie."

A young man, waving a gilded folding fan, said with a smile, "Being able to travel with the nine Nanmeng sisters is already a great blessing. I cannot bear a greater blessing."

"I am Liu Qibian from Liuxian Manor! I have met the Fairy Lingdie."

As Liu Qibian finished speaking, there was a loud laugh. A young man with a long sword on his waist, a sachet hanging from his waist, and a long black ribbon tied on his forehead shouted, "My name is Yuchi Han, a small Tiger Guard General in the Yulin Guard. How fortunate I am to meet the Fairy Lingdie today."

More than ten young men came up one by one, reporting their backgrounds, the names of their teachers, and the atmosphere became lively and bustling.

Sun Yanwan glanced at the bustle over there and asked, "Big Brother, why are you silent?"

Nan Mengjiu treated his two fellow apprentices as nothing. Although Sun Yanwan was looked down upon, she did not care much. Pretty girls are always a little arrogant. Anyway, he had no intention of joining in the fun. He could not just run over and yell at others: "Don't bully the poor young man. There will always be a day when a dragon will marry a phoenix, right?"

The eldest brother had never been so ignored before in his life. He felt a little amused and said with a smile: "It's true that he didn't lose a single trick."

"It'll take at least ten moves!"

Although Sun Yunhe knew that Zhang Qingxi was a very skilled martial artist, he still laughed when he heard this and said, "That's a bit arrogant."

"Those girls are the nine sisters of the Namco family."

"It's said that of the nine girls in the Nameng family, seven are either already betrothed or rumored to have found lovers. Only the two youngest, the eighth sister Nameng Gong and the youngest sister Nameng Jiu, are still unmarried, admiring their own beauty."

"The one who just came over was Nan Mengjiu!"

"As for the boys around them, they are almost all outstanding young men from martial arts families and famous sects..."

"Among them, the four with the best martial arts skills are Nan Meng's second sister's husband, Jun Tingyun, known as Tiger Roar and Dragon Yin, fourth sister's lover, Master Porcelain Su Hong, and the two brothers Wen Buyan and Wen Buyu. They are all above the sixth rank, and Jun Tingyun may have even broken through to the fifth rank."

Sun Yanwan was unfamiliar with the list of martial arts heroes, but after listening to Old Man Sun's introduction, he felt that these men all had their own backgrounds and were of extraordinary status. Each one looked like the protagonist in a martial arts novel. He couldn't help but exclaim in amazement, "No wonder it took the eldest brother more than ten moves to win."

Sun Yunhe laughed and said, "Choose any one of these people. Your senior brother can do ten moves..."

"Twenty moves!"

"The fact that we were able to win is because you two brothers don't like to brag."

"Let's not talk about the boys. Of the nine sisters in the Nanmeng family, except for the fourth and seventh sisters who don't like martial arts and are a little weak, the other seven would definitely win some places if they participated in the Songyang Sect's Seven Clans Martial Competition. The eldest sister, Nan Mengtang, became a disciple of Madam Wei, one of the two female masters of the third generation of the Songyang Sect. The eighth sister, Nan Menggong, was accepted as a closed disciple by Master Tulong of Emei. She practices both Nanmeng and Emei martial arts. Together with her senior sister Sima Ziyan, she is known as the two beauties of Emei. Both girls have reached the fifth rank or higher level of cultivation."

"Young man! I know you have good martial arts skills, but you haven't been around much, and you haven't seen much. It's still unknown whether you can withstand more than ten moves from Nan Meng Ba Mei, let alone defeat her."

Zhang Qingxi didn't answer, and said to Sun Yanwan, "Junior brother, let's go."

Sun Yanwan bowed to Old Man Sun and said with a grin, "When we get to Songyang Mountain, we brothers will definitely entertain the seniors and grandchildren." He then followed his eldest brother. Sun Yunhe smiled slightly, raised his pipe, took a few puffs, and watched the two men walk away, without any intention of trying to keep them. He thought to himself, "I wonder who these two are from the Songyang Sect? Judging from their ages, they shouldn't be disciples of the Seven Friends of Songyang, but should be disciples of the same generation."

"That senior brother looks gentle, but he's actually arrogant. Junior brother has a lively personality, but he's a little too lively. He's really not as good as these young people from aristocratic families."

The old man had always been afraid that his granddaughter would be abducted by Sun Yanwan. Now he finally let out a sigh of relief and felt indescribably happy.

Sun Lingdie happened to look back and didn't see Sun Yanwan. She felt a little empty in her heart, but there were a lot of people around her, so she didn't have time to care about it. When she thought that she would be able to see people in Songyang Mountain, she felt a little relieved.

Seeing that her grandfather seemed to be in high spirits, she didn't know why the old man was so happy all of a sudden. She muttered softly, "Grandpa, why don't you ask us to stay? Wouldn't it be more lively if we were all together?"

Nan Mengjiu ignored the young men who surrounded her and pulled Sun Lingdie to show her to her sisters.

Every girl in the Namco family was a delicate, beautiful lady, their every move a sign of elegance and grace. Their interpersonal skills were innate, and there was nothing to fault with them. Every young lady in the Namco family was warm and affectionate when they saw Sun Lingdie; even the aloof eighth sister, Namco, smiled and spoke a few words.

Nan Mengjiu suddenly remembered what happened earlier, chuckled, and said, "Little Butterfly, who were those two people just now? Which master in Songyang are they from?"

Sun Lingdie knew what her best friend was going to say. She put her hand on her forehead and said, "I'm not going to interrogate people. I just know that my junior brother's name is Sun Yanwan. I haven't asked anything else."

Nan Mengjiu said with a smile: "Sisters, you don't know how arrogant those two little Taoist priests are."

"As a junior fellow student, I asked: They can't just be defeated in one move, right?"

"Brother! Can you tell what rank they are? Is there any one at the Xiantian realm?"

Nan Mengjiu's voice was clear and pleasant, like a jade compass, making the sisters smile.

The eldest sister, Nan Mengtang, couldn't help but say, "Does he think that the Xiantian realm is a piece of cake? Or does he not know what the Nine Ranks of Martial Arts theory is?"

Nan Meng's fourth sister said softly, "Aren't all young people who have just come out of school like this? They think that the third and fourth ranks are nothing, and the first and second ranks are nothing special. They think that only those who have been born with a natural talent are considered great, and they only have their eyes on the Grandmaster."

"However, no matter how hard they train, they may only be at the eighth or ninth rank in their lifetime. It will be extremely difficult for them to make a name for themselves in the martial arts world."

Nan Mengjiu laughed and said, "That senior brother's expression is really grim..."

"He is a few years older than me, so he should know our identities and origins."

Sun Lingdie was slightly displeased and thought to herself, "Brother Sun doesn't like martial arts, but his literary brilliance is unmatched..." She immediately spoke up to defend her two brothers. The Nan Meng sisters didn't want to offend her, so they didn't mention the matter again.

Sun Yanwan was just wondering how the people he had met today would compare to his own Master Miao when he heard his eldest senior brother say calmly, "Second Junior Brother! I just said it would take about ten moves..."

"It means they come together."
