Swords emerge from Mount Hua, sweeping across the heavens from the world of Swordsman.

Abi was startled, but finally came to her senses and nodded with a slight blush, saying, "Yes."

As if realizing his lapse in decorum, he stood up, bowed, and asked, "May I ask your identity, young master, and what brings you to Canhe Manor?"

Yue Zhuoqun smiled faintly, not hiding his purpose: "I have heard that there are countless martial arts manuals in the Huanshi Water Pavilion of Canhe Manor. I have long admired them and have come here to take a look. I would like to trouble you to lead the way."

"what?"

Abi's eyes widened, her face filled with disbelief.

How could such a refined young nobleman make such an impolite request?

In the martial arts world, which sect doesn't regard martial arts as its lifeblood? How could they allow outsiders to observe it at will!

With a stiff face, he said, "Young Master Yue, you may not know this, but our young master is not in the manor. As servants, it is not appropriate for us to invite outsiders in."

“Miss, you misunderstand. I don’t care whether the host agrees or not. I’ve come here as an unwelcome guest.”

Since the young lady is unwilling to lead the way, I will have to enter on my own.

With that, he channeled his inner strength into his feet, and the small boat slid towards the shore.

"Ugh, you're so rude!"

Abi's sweet shouts instantly erased any goodwill she had towards Yue Zhuoqun.

He tried to catch up by rowing the oars, but he was no match for Yue Zhuoqun's speed in controlling the boat with his internal energy. He could only watch helplessly as the other man widened the distance between them.

Fortunately, her small boat wasn't far from the shore, and she caught up with it in a short while, while Yue Zhuoqun had already landed on the island.

On the shore, at the dock, was a uniquely built little pavilion. A hunched old man blocked Yue Zhuoqun's way.

He spoke in a low, hoarse voice:

"Guest, you must pay your respects to the host upon arriving on the island!"

Yue Zhuoqun chuckled to himself; this was the same tactic he used to deal with Kumārajīva being applied to himself.

He couldn't help but ask with a playful tone, "So, you're the master now?"

"I am just a lowly servant, how dare I presume to impersonate my master! However, there is an old lady living in this building, who is the grandmother of our Murong family. Guests who come to visit must kowtow to her three times."

"I'll invite the old lady out, and you should kowtow three times to show proper respect. The old lady will then naturally agree to let you stay on the island as a guest."

After the old man finished speaking, he went into the attic, leaning on his cane.

Abi had already landed on the island and was no longer in a hurry. Finding the scene amusing, she couldn't help but chuckle.

"What Uncle Huang said is true. Our young master is not here, so the old lady makes all the decisions."

If Young Master Yue is willing to kowtow and fulfill all the proper etiquette, then it will not be a problem for him to either be a guest here or go to Huanshi Water Pavilion to read the secret manual.

If you don't want to follow these formalities, you'd better leave now!

Otherwise, you'll be in for a world of trouble when my young master returns.

"Ahem, little girl Abi, are you trying to scare people with your young master Nan Murong's name again?" Not long after Abi's voice fell, a scolding voice came from the pavilion.

The curtain was lifted, and an elderly woman, leaning on a cane, came out and sat down shakily in a chair.

"Guest, don't be afraid. Although our young master has a great reputation in the martial arts world, he is not an overbearing and unreasonable person. As long as you kowtow to this old woman three times, he will not blame you."

"Hahaha, you two little girls, one is innocent and cute, and the other is clever and good at disguise. If it were anyone else, they would really be fooled."

Yue Zhuoqun looked the old lady up and down, his face filled with admiration.

Tired of it? Said Qi turned around and stood up to account for ⑨⑷ ⑧ ⑶ 樲７⑧ 0澪

In just a short time, she could transform from an old man into an old woman, and even her voice was perfectly imitated.

The skill with which this disguise was so masterful is truly astounding.

The old woman stiffened for a moment, then quickly recovered, squinting as she looked around: "This old woman's eyesight is failing. Abi, are there any other maids here?"

"What, are you still pretending to be confused with me!"

Yue Zhuoqun chuckled and waved his hand. A gust of wind brushed across the old woman's cheek, and the aged human skin mask instantly fell off.

Beneath the mask lies a charming and beautiful face, full of captivating allure.

"Yeah~"

She gasped and abruptly stood up and stepped back.

Yue Zhuoqun's ability to remove the human skin mask remotely really startled her.

The opponent's martial arts skills are so strong, and the charade has been exposed. I really don't know what to do.

"Don't worry, even though I'm an unwelcome guest, I won't do anything to you two girls."

"I've had my fill of acting with you two, now it's time you took me to Huanshi Water Pavilion!"

"Aren't you afraid that my young master will come back and cause you trouble?" Helpless, A'Zhu could only bring up Murong Fu again.

"Qiao Feng in the North, Murong in the South" are the most resounding names in the martial arts world in recent years.

Normally, just mentioning the name "Nan Murong" would make anyone apologize and back down, but today this person showed no fear whatsoever.

This made the two girls feel depressed.

"Heh, Murong Fu's name is impressive, but his strength is all bark and no bite!" Yue Zhuoqun scoffed.

No ordinary martial arts master in the martial arts world could defeat Murong Fu.

But among top-tier experts, Murong Fu can't defeat anyone!

What a waste of such a good background.

The Murong family's unique skills, such as the Dragon City Sword Technique, the Canhe Finger, and the Star Shift, are all top-notch martial arts. Anyone who masters even one of them to the peak is enough to dominate the world.

He had learned a lot of martial arts, but he was good at everything yet bad at nothing.

"By the way, during the days I've been studying martial arts at Huanshi Water Pavilion, you two have been in charge of my daily life."

"You're so domineering and arrogant!"

"Hmph! As long as you're not afraid I'll poison your food and kill you~"

"Haha, whatever, I'll drag both of you along to eat with me!"

Azhu and Abi stomped their feet in anger, but there was nothing they could do.

Chapter 126 Little Monk Jiumozhi

The Murong family originated from the royal family of the Yan Kingdom, but they established themselves in the martial arts world starting with Murong Longcheng.

Murong Longcheng possessed extraordinary talent in martial arts. In his youth, he became famous throughout the martial arts world for his swordsmanship. Later, he created his own technique, "Star Shifting Technique."

The three martial arts techniques—Dragon City Swordplay, Canhe Finger, and Star Shift—have made the Murong family stand proudly in the martial arts world.

Over the years, they have collected martial arts techniques from various schools and sects in the martial arts world and stored them all in Huanshi Water Pavilion.

Add to that the martial arts techniques that Wang Yuyan copied from the Langhuan Jade Cave next door, and this place is definitely one of the largest martial arts treasure troves in the martial arts world.

Inside the secret room, several bookshelves were filled with secret manuals, more than the martial arts manuals of the Huashan Sect in the game "Aoxiao World".

Of course, this is just in terms of quantity. In terms of top-notch skills, the Huashan School far surpasses it.

For the next few days, Yue Zhuoqun stayed in the secret room reading, with his meals delivered daily by the two maids, Azhu and Abi.

Although they were fierce with their mouths, they were kind at heart.

Despite being furious that Yue Zhuoqun forced her to watch, she didn't actually poison the food.

The manuals here contain 80% low-level martial arts, more than 10% mid-level martial arts, and less than 50% high-level martial arts.

But he wasn't picky; he read every single book.

Even if it doesn't greatly help with your martial arts progress, it's still good to watch it and then exchange it for martial arts coins through the system.

It wasn't until five days later that he finished reading the lower and middle-level martial arts manuals before he began to study the higher-level ones.

The first technique I picked up was the Dragon City Swordplay. This swordplay features wide and sweeping moves, and was originally derived from killing techniques used on the battlefield. It was later optimized by Murong Longcheng.

However, Yue Zhuoqun has so many excellent sword techniques that there is no need to practice them all; just read them once and put them down.

The second book is the Canhe Finger Technique, which is quite profound and extremely powerful.

In the story, Murong Bo used this finger technique to lightly tap Duan Zhengchun and Ba Tianshi, knocking them down out of thin air.

He was only showing mercy; had he used less force, he could have killed them both.

Despite Murong Bo's profound mastery of the Canhe Finger technique, the Sweeper Monk only managed a superficial understanding, learning only the basics.

After carefully reading it, Yue Zhuoqun agreed wholeheartedly. This finger technique was indeed profound, not much different from the One-Finger Divine Skill.

The One-Finger Divine Skill consumes a great deal of internal energy, requiring the vast amount of internal energy to be condensed into a single point of finger energy, which makes the finger force extremely domineering.

It appears as a golden light, giving people a sense of restraint and peace, but when it bursts forth, it is like the sky collapsing and the earth splitting, easily piercing through gold and cracking rocks.

The finger strength of the Canhe Finger is different. It is not as fierce and domineering as the Yiyang Finger, but it has more elusive and unpredictable power. A single finger strike is hard to defend against.

"Indeed, this finger technique is worth referencing."

Yue Zhuoqun nodded in satisfaction. He had already mastered the One-Finger Divine Skill to the highest level.

If I could obtain three more martial arts techniques that allow me to generate energy out of thin air, I could fuse them together to create another martial art. And I still have a beginner fusion scroll that I haven't used yet.
