Travel through the heavens

Looking at the few people who left in a panic, Fang Muye turned around and smiled at Yu Qingxue who was standing beside him: "Thank you Miss Yu for your help."

Unexpectedly, Yu Qingxue's cold and pretty face turned red, and she cursed angrily: "You lecher!" She glared at Fang Muye with her beautiful eyes, snorted, turned around and left.

If you don't want to leave, what are you staying for?

Reasoning? Or fighting?

Fang Muye was stunned. Haha, he just helped me, but in a short while he started cursing.

This woman's expression changes so quickly.

I wanted to chase her and ask her a question, but suddenly I remembered that I had just blown into her ear. I finally understood why I was scolded. I couldn't help but yelled to Yu Qingxue's back awkwardly: "I'm sorry, Miss Yu."

In such an open era in later generations, blowing into the ear of a woman you don’t know will most likely be called a hooligan, let alone in this era.

There is a strict rule of thumb between men and women, and even among the young men of the world, Fang Muye's behavior can be considered teasing.

Yu Qingxue just called him a "lecher" and didn't really bother with him too much.

Nothing happened that night. On the second day, Fang Muye took two approaches. On the one hand, he found some informants and asked them to search for news about Yu Shenshi and Yu Tianci. On his own, he went to look for the broker who had managed the courtyard where his master's wife and her family lived.

With money paving the way, there are naturally many conveniences. Fang Muye was also lucky. Before noon, he found the broker from that year.

"I remember they seemed to be going back to their hometown. Yes, they were going back to their hometown." The old dentist thought for a long time and finally gave useful information.

"Thank you!" Fang Muye was very happy when he learned the whereabouts of his master's wife and senior brother. He gave the old dentist a piece of silver and hurried back to Fayun Temple.

Yu Huacheng told Fang Muye that his hometown was in Wuyi County, Jizhou Prefecture, and that his family moved to Jizhou Prefecture when he was a teenager.

Starting from Fayun Temple, Fang Muye traveled all the way for more than two hours, escorting Yu Huacheng's coffin to Wuyi County.

Wuyi County is not big, and the Yu family is somewhat famous in the county. Fang Muye just asked passers-by and found out where the Yu family is.

"Knock, knock, knock." Fang Muye stood in front of the door and knocked lightly.

The door opened quickly, and Fang Muye asked the doorman who opened the door, "Excuse me, sir, is the owner of this house Master Yu Tianci?"

"Yes, who are you?" The doorman looked at Fang Muye, who had an outstanding temperament, and asked politely.

Fang Muye smiled and said, "Please inform Senior Brother Yu and tell him that his junior fellow student is here to visit."

"Please wait a moment. I will report it right away."

The doorman had worked at the Yu family for more than ten years, so he naturally knew the family's martial arts background. When he heard Fang Muye claiming to be the master's junior fellow, although he had never seen him before, he did not dare to be rude and replied respectfully.

Yu Tianci was informed by the doorman that his junior fellow was coming to visit. He thought it was a junior fellow from his uncle or aunt's family. He was very happy and went to the gate to greet him.

When he arrived at the gate, he did not see his junior fellow apprentice, but only saw Fang Muye standing tall, so he asked, "Who are you?"

Looking at the middle-aged man who was rushing in front of him and looked somewhat similar to his master, Fang Muye thought he should be his senior brother Yu Tianci. Upon hearing his question, he immediately clasped his fists and bowed, saying respectfully: "I guess it must be Senior Brother Tianci. I, Shen Sanyan, am here to greet you."

When Yu Tianci saw this strange man calling him his senior brother, he was confused, but he clasped his fists in return and said, "Forgive me for being so abrupt. I wonder which senior uncle or aunt's new disciple you are?"

Fang Muye looked serious, staring at Yu Tianci with sharp eyes, and said solemnly: "My master is Yu Huacheng."

Yu Tianci's expression suddenly became complicated. Surprise, resentment, sadness, longing and other emotions could be seen. After a long time, his expression became normal and he asked leisurely, "Is he okay?"

Fang Muye said sadly: "Master, he has passed away."

Upon hearing the bad news, Yu Tianci's expression, which had just calmed down, immediately became gloomy, and he could not hide the sadness between his brows.

Fang Muye went on to say: "This time I am here to escort Master's coffin back, so that the old man can return to his roots." He pointed to the coffin a few feet away.

Only then did Yu Tianci notice the carriage parked there and the coffin on it.

With heavy steps, Yu Tianci walked step by step to the carriage, next to Yu Huacheng's coffin, and stood there in a daze. This mighty middle-aged man now looked like a frightened child, with a look of helplessness.

At the Yu family, in Yu Tianci’s study.

"... and my several uncles and aunts, as well as my fellow disciples, you all know that you should arrange for someone to send out the obituary, and don't miss anyone."

Yu Tianci had a sad face and explained everything in detail to the housekeeper.

"Yes, sir." The butler bowed in response.

"Have the young master and young lady arranged someone to notify them?" Yu Tianci asked.

The housekeeper replied respectfully, "I have asked Yu San to rush to the capital city as fast as he can. He will probably be back by midnight tonight."

"Okay, go down." Yu Tianci waved his hand.

In an instant, the entire Yu family became busy purchasing offerings, decorating the mourning hall, writing and sending obituaries, etc.

After the housekeeper left, Fang Muye looked at the sad Yu Tianci and asked, "Brother, I wonder where the master's wife is. I want to pay her a visit."

Yu Tianci looked even more sad, and replied, "My mother died of illness 20 years ago."

Fang Muye cursed himself inwardly and said nothing more.

There was silence in the study for a long time before Yu Tianci's low voice was heard: "How did he... leave?"

Fang Muye replied, "Master had a hidden illness. As he aged, his energy and blood were severely depleted. He caught a cold and his body collapsed. He survived for more than two months and passed away eight days ago."

Looking at Yu Tianci, who looked sad, Fang Muye continued, "Master passed away peacefully, but he never let go of what happened back then. When he was alive, he often told me that he regretted what he had done and that he was sorry to Master's Wife and you. Although he wanted to come back very much, he could not do so because of his promise. Before he died, he asked me to send his body back. I also hope that Master's Wife and you can forgive him, a deceased person."

Yu Tianci listened silently, and his expression changed slightly as Fang Muye spoke.

After Fang Muye finished speaking, the study fell silent again.

But this time the silence didn't last long, Yu Tianci said slowly in a deep voice: "In fact, mother has never blamed him, and she has never given up missing him."

After a pause, he continued, "As for me, in the first few years after he left, I was angry that he left my mother and me and never came back. Later, my mother kept comforting and advising me. I followed my master to learn martial arts, and from him and my uncles and uncles, I understood the rules and morality of the martial arts world, and gradually let go of the grudge in my heart. But why did he leave home for so many years without anyone bringing back any news, so that my mother would not have to worry about his safety."

Having said that, Yu Tianci's calm tone became a little excited.

"Perhaps, Master has no news at all, just because he wants Master's wife and you to slowly forget about him. Once you forget, you will have no worries. Only when you have no worries can you live facing the sun. But I think that Master must be in great pain without contacting his family." Fang Muye thought about it seriously and explained for his Master.

Judging from Yu Huacheng's personality, he probably thought the same way. He loved drinking so much and liked to get drunk. Was he really that fond of drinking? Perhaps he just wanted to "get rid of all his worries with a little drunkenness".

Upon hearing this, Yu Tianci fell into deep thought. Perhaps, “he” really thought so.

"He...father...does he have any other disciples besides you, my junior brother?"

"Since leaving Zhili, my master has been wandering and has no fixed place to live, so he never passed on his teachings to me. Last August, he moved to Jiaxing City and settled down next door to me. By chance, he accepted me as his apprentice." Fang Muye answered carefully.

Yu Tianci said "hmm" and nodded.

At this time, the butler came in and reported: "Master, dinner is ready. Are you and this gentleman going to eat now?"

Yu Tianci stood up and said, "Use it now." He pointed at Fang Muye and said, "This is my father's only disciple. From now on, you can call him Second Master."

"Yes, Master." The housekeeper bowed to Fang Muye again and said respectfully, "Second Master."
