Fox Demon Crossing
Chapter 21: The Weak Scholar
Not long after, a dark-skinned big man wearing coarse cloth, carrying a hoe on his shoulder, with his trouser legs rolled up, followed Xiao Mumie back home in a hurry.
Jin Renfeng widened his eyes, unable to believe what he saw.
If the other person had not kept his eyes squinted, as if he could not open them, he would have thought that the person who came had changed, and was completely different from the image of Mu Mie's father in his memory a few years ago.
Not only did his skin color become darker, but he also looked stronger.
In the past, he gave the impression of a weak scholar, but now he looks more like a sturdy butcher.
This change is really surprising...
Not only Jin Renfeng, but even Dongfang Huaizhu found it a little difficult to accept.
“Brother Jin, I didn’t expect you to actually come.”
Mu Mie's father was very enthusiastic. After a round of pleasantries, he glanced between Dongfang Huaizhu and Jin Renfeng, and finally landed on Zhuque, who had been silent the whole time. He said in surprise: "Brother Jin, sister Huaizhu, your children have grown up so big!"
"puff--"
The tea in Yang Yan's mouth sprayed out instantly.
"Cough cough cough..."
"Husband, please don't talk nonsense." Yang Yan explained: "Huaizhu is still young, how could they have a child this big."
Dongfang Huaizhu lowered his head shyly, while Zhuque glared at him fiercely with anger in his eyes.
"Oops, sorry, I was confused."
Mu Mie's father kept apologizing, and then he said to Yang Yan: "My wife, it's rare for Brother Jin and his friends to come here, so go to Uncle San's house to buy some vegetables. I want to have a good drink with Brother Jin today."
Jin Renfeng smiled and responded: "That's great, I have some sweet-scented osmanthus wine here, it's no problem to drink to your heart's content."
Three hours later, the table was filled with aroma.
There were seven dishes in total, a combination of meat and vegetables, all cooked by Yang Yan and Dongfang Huaizhu.
They brought out a few jars of osmanthus wine and they drank happily.
At this time, Suzaku had disappeared.
It turned out that Jin Renfeng asked her to take a walk around the area and find some food in the mountains. After all, Suzaku had an astonishingly large appetite, and these foods alone were far from satisfying the needs of a monster like her. The appetite of monsters and humans could not be compared at all.
Judging from their family situation, Jin Renfeng did not want this meal to bring them financial pressure.
After eating and drinking, they started to discuss business.
Jin Renfeng said bluntly: "Do you really want Mu Mie to become my disciple? You should understand that for him who has the divine eye, the best choice is actually Yang Yitan."
He was telling the truth.
Yang Yan sighed and said to Jin Renfeng, "Brother Jin, to be honest, I don't want Mier to join the Yang family in the future."
"Because of what happened between him and my husband, my father has always been very cold to him, and even said that he would not acknowledge my husband as his son-in-law. I know he is still brooding over what happened to my grandfather, and I understand the reason, but what did my husband do wrong?"
"Miss..."
Jin Renfeng shook his head secretly. It was not in his position to judge who was right or wrong in this matter. It was just a matter of each party's position.
"In that case, I won't ask any more questions. I agree to accept you as my disciple."
They originally came here to take Mu Mie as their apprentice, and now seeing Mu Mie in person, Jin Renfeng had a very good first impression.
This little guy is quite energetic.
"I will stay here for three days. During these three days, I will teach him some skills. When he reaches adulthood, I will let him follow me to the mountains to practice."
Jin Renfeng continued: "What do you think?"
"Okay, it's settled." Yang Yan, who plays the role of the head of the family, made the decision immediately.
She also didn't want Mu Mie to leave home at such a young age.
At night, they stayed at Xiaomiumie's home.
There was no talking all night, and the next morning.
Jin Renfeng brought Mu Mie to the riverside, sat on a rock, and began the first lesson, "Disciple, can you read?"
Xiao Mumie nodded and replied, "Master, my mother taught me how to read and write."
"Very good, this is for you." Jin Renfeng took out a piece of paper with some of the content he copied last night. "You have one day to memorize it. I will test you at this time tomorrow morning. Only after you pass this test, I will teach you some truly useful skills."
"Take it and have a look. If there are any words you don't know, ask me."
Xiao Mumie took the paper, lowered his head and read it, reciting the words on it word by word in a low voice.
There was nothing else on the paper, but the sect rules written by Jin Renfeng, which included rules such as not to bully the teacher or destroy ancestors, and not to harm the world.
These things may seem to have little effect at first glance, but they are actually meant to regulate the behaviors that disciples should not do.
What can be done and what cannot be done are clearly written to avoid unnecessary trouble in the future.
Time passed quietly as Jin Renfeng was in a daze.
"Gulu~"
Xiao Mumie's stomach suddenly growled. Jin Renfeng looked up at the sky and felt that it was almost time, so he said, "Go back and eat. You have a whole day."
After Xiao Mumie left, Jin Renfeng said to the people around him, "Come out, Patriarch Yang, your covert tactics are full of flaws in my eyes."
However, there was no reaction from the surroundings.
"Still not giving up?"
Behind a big tree not far away, Yang Yifang did not move. Suddenly,
I told my niece the same thing. Jin Renfeng spread his hands, looking quite helpless, "But your niece doesn't seem to want Mu Mie to join the Yang family, and the best choice doesn't necessarily mean the right thing to do. Since Mu Mie has already accepted me as his master, he has become my disciple. Senior Yang, you have lived a clean life, I don't think you would do something like stealing someone's love, because that would make people point fingers at you behind your back."
"A life of innocence..." Yang Yifang secretly clenched his fists, feeling that Jin Renfeng was mocking him by saying these four words. His life seemed to be innocent, and perhaps in the eyes of others, it was also innocent.
Yang Yifang asked, "Are you planning to take him away?"
"No, he's still too young. Wouldn't it be better for him to stay with his parents and spend a complete childhood?"
Then, the two fell into a brief silence.
Jin Renfeng said: "It seems that Senior Yang still cares about your niece."
Yang Yifang did not respond. He turned his head and looked in the direction of Mujia Village. He was silent for a long time. After he came to his senses, he glanced at Jin Renfeng and left without saying a word.
Watching Yang Yifang's departing back, Jin Renfeng whispered to herself, "It's not easy to be a person with a clean life. Although it's a clean life, is this really the real life?"
"Compared to a life of innocence, I would rather choose a life without regrets..."
Yang Yifang came and left quickly. From beginning to end, he never even looked at his daughter Yang Yan.
Is it because he doesn't want to?
No, I'm afraid it's because he doesn't dare.
After all, at that wedding, Yang Yifang acted more like a family head than a father.
There is no doubt that Yang Yifang is an excellent head of the family, but he is not a good father.
Jin Renfeng did not stay there any longer, but turned around and left in the opposite direction.
Everything happened so fast.
Chi Huo grabbed two fishermen and let them float on the water. Looking at the huge monster in the water and the still burning ditch, he didn't know what to say for a moment and just stood there.
The scene before him left a deep impression on him.
As a practitioner of fire power, he knew how difficult it was to split water to form ditches and keep the flames burning. This required extremely high flame control skills and even violated the principle of the five elements. Flames are invisible, and water controls fire among the five elements. At least for him, it was impossible to keep the flames burning on the water for a long time without extinguishing.
Being able to avoid getting wet by the rain was the limit of what he could achieve.
"that person……"
He has always been secretly proud of the reputation that the outside world calls him the Little God of Fire, and believes that apart from the Eastern Leader of Shenhuo Mountain Villa, he is not afraid of anyone among the younger generation of masters who use fire power in the world.
However, the young man in front of him did not look very old, but his fire power was so terrifying.
Sure enough, there are people outside the world, and there is a sky outside the world.
After the incident.
A middle-aged man from the Chi family rushed to the scene.
"Huo'er, why don't you go meet the leader and the young hero who helped you!"
Chi Huo came to his senses and quickly put the two fishermen on the shore. After paying respects to the leader, he came to Jin Renfeng and Dongfang Huaizhu, floating in the air, bowed to them and said, "Chi Huo, thank you friends for your help."
"You're welcome. When monsters harm humans, we cultivators have an obligation to do our part," Jin Renfeng said calmly.
When encountering this man-eating monster, Jin Renfeng had only one thought in his mind - to kill it.
"May I ask where my friend is from?"
Chi Huo was a little confused. There were not many human families that mastered the power of fire, and he really wanted to know which force the other party came from.
Jin Renfeng did not hide anything and replied, "Shenhuoshan Villa, my name is Jin Renfeng."
When Chi Huo heard this, he was shocked: "But the eldest disciple of the Eastern Alliance Leader who is known as the Fire Sword Immortal, Jin Renfeng?!"
"Fire Sword Immortal..."
Whenever he heard this title, Jin Renfeng would always fall silent for a while. It didn't sound as impressive as the word "God of Fire". Who on earth gave him this nickname? It was so low.
"If there is no second Golden Phoenix, then it will be me..."
After some communication, Chi Huo finally asked to leave.
At this time, Dongfang Gu Yue had already left.
For them, helping the Chi family eliminate the snake demon was just a piece of cake.
Chi Huo returned to the middle-aged man, a bitter smile appeared on the corner of his mouth: "Uncle."
"How does it feel?"
"Uncle, have you known for a long time that he is the disciple of the Eastern Alliance Leader?"
"What else?" Chi Huo's uncle asked, "If you didn't have some background, do you think you would have such strength? To be able to kill that snake monster at such a young age is not something that ordinary people can do."
"Don't forget, the Great Elder once said that the snake demon has at least the strength close to that of the demon king."
As he spoke, he sighed again, "In front of Shenhuoshan Villa there was Dongfang Guyue, and behind it there was Jin Renfeng; in front of Wangquan Villa there was Wangquan Shouzhuo, and behind it there was Wangquan Baiye; Yang Yitan from the Yang family is also very powerful. All the major families have outstanding young people in this generation. Huo'er, the future of our Chi family rests on you."
At this moment, Chi Huo felt tremendous pressure.
If those people had the strength of Jin Renfeng, he would have no confidence at all to gain a foothold among such monstrous competitors.
He used to think that he was a genius among millions.
Among the younger generation of the Chi family, his cultivation has always been far ahead. No one of his peers can match him in terms of strength or understanding and control of fire power.
Until he met Jin Renfeng.
At that moment, he finally understood what a true genius was like...
The next day.
Jin Renfeng and his party continued on their journey in a small boat.
We didn't encounter any more trouble on the rest of the journey and arrived smoothly near Mujia Village on the afternoon of the third day.
In this reborn world, due to his intervention, Mu Mie's father did not die, and Mu Mie's mother's resentment towards the Yang family and the Taoist Alliance did not deepen. She taught Mu Mie the method of opening the Heavenly Eye very early.
Walking into Mujia Village, you will find that the village is not very big.
"It is said that the Beishan Jiye is second only to the Beishan Demon Emperor. It is said that he has lived for thousands of years. However, he is nothing in front of the Eastern Alliance Leader's eldest disciple Jin Renfeng. However, the monster is not stupid. He knows that he cannot defeat Jin Renfeng, so he summoned more than 40 demon kings and cave masters from Beishan to besiege Jin Renfeng together. It is really despicable. At that time, they were outside Beishan City..."
"You should know that Jin Renfeng went to support Beishan City. If he lost, Beishan City would be finished. If it were someone else facing so many demon kings, they would have been scared and ran away. But that person is the number one disciple of our Eastern Alliance Leader..."
In the crowd, Jin Renfeng was embarrassed when he heard someone talking about his own deeds. It was the first time for him to hear someone talking about his own story, and he felt a little strange.
"Sorry, please give way."
At this moment, a little black-haired boy squeezed past Jin Renfeng with great effort. There was a vertical wrinkle in the middle of his forehead, and he was listening to the story told by others with great joy.
