World Traveler

After a while, Tang Moling and Yanan walked in.

"Daddy."

"Master."

Tang Zhongling nodded slightly, while Nangong Yuan on the other side began to praise him.

"The innocence in your lady's eyes is truly rare to see."

After praising Tang Moling, Nangong Yuan turned his gaze to Yanan. Seeing Yanan covered in bandages, he was stunned for a moment, then asked tentatively.

"Young man... is this Ji Zai, the Young Master of the Kongtong Sect?"

"Uh, it's me."

This surprised Yanan a little. He never expected that someone would recognize him.

Although he looks very famous and his bandages are easily recognizable, few people can remember and recognize him so far.

"Ling'er, Nan'er, this is the head of the Nangong family from Jiangling..."

Nangong Yuan waved his hand to interrupt Tang Zhongling's introduction and spoke gently to Yanan and the others.

"No need to be so formal. If you don't mind, you two can just call me uncle."

"Uncle Nangong." x2

When Nangong Yuan heard this name, his face immediately filled with smiles, and he looked at the two of them and praised them several times.

Then he looked at Tang Zhongling and teased.

"Brother Tang, you're wrong. Young Master Ji's reputation in the martial arts world is quite high. He killed the Right Protector of the Jile Sect, the Young Master of the Kongtong Sect, and even the Red Flame Demon who caused a huge upheaval in Xixia."

"Tell me, which of these people is not a first-class reputation? How could they be the unknown person you mentioned?"

"If even nephew Ji is unknown, then there are probably few people in this world who can be called famous."

"Uncle Nangong, you are too kind."

In fact, Nangong Yuan was a little surprised when he recognized Yanan. He didn't expect that the next leader of Kongtong Sect would be Tang Zhongling's disciple.

It seems that the Tang Sect is not as weak as imagined.

After all, this is definitely the next Tang Zhongling. You have to know that the Tang Sect with Tang Zhongling and the Tang Sect without Tang Zhongling are two different things.

But...why can he be the next leader of Kongtong Sect?

This could be said to be the strangest thing that Nangong Yuan felt, although he also knew that the Kongtong Sect was relatively lenient in accepting disciples and there was no prejudice against any sect.

But, isn’t this too loose?

Or... was this specially arranged by the Tang Sect?

If Ji Zai becomes the head of Kongtong Sect, and Kongtong Sect and Tang Sect join forces, no one in the world will dare to covet Tang Sect anymore.

However, it was worth coming to the Tang Sect to get this news.

...............

After chatting for a while, Nangong Yuan probably sensed that Yanan disliked this kind of occasion, so he simply started chatting with Tang Zhongling and asked the younger generation to go out for a walk.

That kind of well-behaved and rigid behavior really made Yanan feel like he was in prison.

It would be fine if Tang Moling was alone. She could just go fishing in the back mountain and grill what she caught.

But unfortunately there is an extra light bulb.

However, Nangong Shen was obviously not an ordinary person. After realizing that Yanan was not interested in the flowery talk, he became as generous as a man of the world.

"Brother Yanan, the martial arts competition to win a bride will begin tomorrow. It's not convenient for us to go down the mountain with Miss Tang..."

"Why don't we have a competition in advance, and let Brother Yanan give me some pointers on my martial arts."

"Okay, then let's go to the back mountain. There aren't many people there."

After saying that, the three of them walked towards the back mountain.

Finally, they stopped in an open space by the river, letting Tang Moling watch from the side while Yanan and Nangong Shen stood facing each other.

Nangong Shen slowly took out a folding fan from his arms and said to Yanan in front of him.

"Nangong Fengliushan, Brother Yanan, be careful."

Yanan opened the folding fan in his hand, revealing the four big words "Born with Talent".

"Tai Chi sword technique, please."

After saying that, Nangong Shen attacked without any hesitation. The fan in his hand fluttered up and down like a butterfly, and his attack was fierce. To outsiders, he looked more elegant and unrestrained.

Zhen Eryanan couldn't just throw an uppercut, so he could only focus on defense and cleverly resolve the opponent's attacks through skills.

After dozens of rounds, although the two seemed to be fighting back and forth, Nangong Shen clearly felt that he was leading him.

It's like... really guiding me...

Sure enough, the shadow of a tree is the name of a person.

Brother Yanan has made such a great name for himself in Xixia. I should have expected that his strength would have already been among the best in the martial arts world.

I'm afraid that if my father comes, the same outcome will happen...

Following a muffled sound, Nangong Shen took a few steps back and bowed.

"Brother Yanan is truly amazing. His martial arts skills have already reached perfection. I admit defeat."

Yanan smiled, put away the fan, and spoke modestly.

"Thank you, thank you. Brother Nangong's kung fu is also good."

"The Nangong family's martial arts are indeed well-deserved. They combine strength and weakness, and are both offensive and defensive. What's rare is that they are imbued with a Confucian spirit, neither arrogant nor discouraged, but humble and peaceful."

This competition gave Nangong Shen a clear understanding of Yanan's strength.

"No wonder Sect Leader Tang said this martial arts competition was specially prepared for Brother Yanan. I'm afraid that with your martial arts skills alone, no one in the world can influence you."

"Thank you, Brother Yanan, for showing mercy just now. Otherwise, I'm afraid I wouldn't be able to withstand a single blow."

This Nangong Shen is quite interesting. He is so calm even after losing.

As expected of a young master from a prominent family, his bearing, character and upbringing are truly extraordinary.

"Come on, Brother Nangong, since you've come to the Tang Sect, I'll treat you to a grilled fish meal this time. I guarantee it's something you've never tasted in your life."

"Okay, then I won't refuse. The next time Brother Yanan comes to Jiangling, I will definitely treat him well."

"Haha~ Sure, sure."

Yanan picked up a few stones and caught a few fish from the river, while Nangong Shen asked his servants to go down the mountain and get two jars of good wine to liven up the atmosphere.

Nangong Shen did not talk about the recent martial arts competition, but instead talked about the interesting things that happened in the martial arts world recently.

The Kongtong Sect investigated the undercover agents of the Demon Sect and found nearly a hundred of them at once. However, all of them were killed on the spot by the sect leader.

Nangong Shen also specially praised the Kongtong Sect leader for his decisiveness and wisdom, as well as for the campaign he launched to search for the Demon Sect's undercover agents.

Basically, they talked about everything, including the big and small things in the Song Dynasty, the recent situation in the Western Xia region, and even a lot of information about Dali in Mongolia.

Whether it was martial arts sects or the common people of the imperial court, Nangong Shen had some knowledge of them all, and he could talk about any one of them with great interest to Yanan and the others.

These things are still very attractive to Yanan and Tang Moling, two otakus who never go out of the house.
