World Traveler

Chapter 37 Tea Shop

I had just returned to the Tang Sect and rested for half a day. I was summoned by my master early the next morning. I was first scolded in the Zhengxin Hall and then asked to explain what had happened.

Listening to Yanan telling that wonderful story, Tang Zhongling couldn't help but be stunned. He destroyed the stronghold of the Paradise Cult, thwarted the Paradise Cult's conspiracy, and killed one of the Seven Immortals of Paradise.

Or it happened in just one day.

After confirming that Yanan was not lying, his brain suddenly froze. He drank sip after sip of tea, but couldn't calm down.

After a while, he came back to his senses and said a few good words, then the tone changed and Tang Zhongling said expressionlessly.

"A merit is a merit, a mistake is a mistake. Don't try to make amends."

"You two went down the mountain without permission despite being under house arrest. You are disrespectful to your teachers, Tang Buyi."

"The disciple is here."

Tang Buyi stepped forward and stood up. Yanan had told Tang Buyi about this matter on the way back. According to his master's temperament, he would definitely not be able to escape the punishment, so since he had made a mistake, he would just accept the punishment honestly.

"Go to the back mountain to receive your punishment. You will be grounded for two years. If you do it again, you will be expelled from the sect!"

"………yes!"

Eh?

To be honest, this punishment seems a bit light in Yanan.

"Go ahead, Yanan, come here."

"Yes."

Tang Buyi walked past Yanan and gave him a sympathetic look, then heard a soft voice in his ear.

"Practice martial arts in the back mountain, brother~"

After saying that, without looking at Tang Buyi's reaction, he walked towards his master.

"Yanan, tell me what you think about this matter."

Yanan nodded and slowly expressed his thoughts.

It no longer matters what the conspiracy of the Paradise Cult is.

In Yanan's opinion, the Bliss Pill is the real disaster. It's just that the news about it has not spread yet, and no news about it has been heard in the world.

The harm caused by this thing is far greater than those people in the evil way. Its extremely addictive nature can easily tear families apart, make aspiring young people decadent and lose their will, and even turn the entire country into hell.

Qing Dynasty, opium.

This is a tragedy that happened in history.

Listening to Yanan's analysis bit by bit, Tang Zhongling's face became solemn, and he understood the extent of the harm this matter would cause to a country.

He immediately planned to write these down in a letter and send it to all the major righteous sects, asking them to unite and resist the existence of Ji Le Wan.

Since Yanan was interrupted by this, he didn't pay attention to the punishment that followed. He just made a hasty arrangement and let Yanan leave.

"elder brother."

As soon as I went out, I saw Tang Moling standing quietly outside the door.

He walked over, picked her up, and walked towards the back mountain, talking as he went along.

"Let's go eat grilled fish today!"

"Ok!"

How do you say that?

One day without seeing you feels like three years?

Anyway, Tang Moling did find this feeling in Yanan.

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

House arrest doesn't matter to Yanan, as he might as well stay at home in the Tang Sect. But who knows who would find fault with Yanan for being a disciple of another surname.

After all, according to the sect rules, disciples from other families are not allowed to teach martial arts, and they must make contributions to the Tang Sect, such as chopping wood, fetching water, cooking, cleaning, and helping to manage the sect's business.

Yanan's identity was just right, neither an inner sect disciple nor the master's apprentice. As long as no one mentioned it, there would be no problem. But once it was mentioned...

The rules of the Tang Clan cannot be broken.

Fortunately, Yanan didn't have any major objections, and Tang Zhongling didn't deliberately make things difficult for Yanan, letting Yanan choose whatever he wanted to do.

The senior brother in charge of the outer disciples had no grudges against Yanan. They all knew that Yanan was the head disciple and had extremely high talent in martial arts. They did not cause trouble, but took care of Yanan everywhere and allowed Yanan to choose some jobs that could only be taken over by inner disciples.

For example, tasks such as business and accounting that require trustworthy people.

After trying some simple jobs, Yanan chose the job of a storyteller. Originally, there was no such job. It was when he was the boss of Tangmen Teahouse that he suddenly thought of this position.

The senior brother also agreed to add such a position, allowing Yanan to take time out every week to go there to tell stories, and all the rewards earned from the storytelling would belong to Yanan himself.

The location of that teahouse was not very good, and most of the people who stayed there to drink tea were farmers from the nearby villages. They usually didn't have time to listen to Yanan's stories.

But there are listeners. Ever since they learned that there was a storyteller here, they would leave their children here whenever they went to work in the fields.

After all, this tea stall still carries the name of the Tang Clan, and they still trust it in leaving their children here.

Of course, during the barbecued fish party in the back mountain of Yanan, Tang Zheng accidentally revealed who disliked Yanan and reported him.

After learning that they were some new disciples, Yanan said magnanimously that it was okay.

If I hear the truth in the morning, I can die in the evening.

That night, after learning which road Yanan would pass through, he waited there and put a sack over his head as soon as he arrived.

He mastered a set of Tai Chi that he had just learned, from the basics to perfection. Even his own mother couldn't recognize that this was his eldest son.

Yanan didn't kill him, he just wanted to make him feel pain, but he didn't leave any hidden injuries, so he just needed to rest to recover.

In any case, everyone in the Tang Sect was extremely vigilant during those days, fearing that the man wearing a copper coin mask and a red Taoist robe would appear again.

After all, ever since the Tang Clan began to decline, many small gangs in the martial arts world have come to provoke the Tang Clan in order to gain fame, trying to show themselves in this way.

Especially the group of cannon fodder who bullied the weak and feared the strong, seeing that the disciple in charge of the teahouse had been replaced, were ready to bully Yanan because he was young, and came over to say that the tea was poisonous, which frightened some uninformed passers-by.

This is a provocation to the face.

He picked up the tea bowl and smashed it directly on his face, and then paralyzed four or five people who tried to fight him.

Is this enough?

No, no, no.

After dealing with them, Yanan followed the clues and found their base camp.

When I went there, they were in a meeting.

Don't you think it's a coincidence?

They were all beaten up by Yanan, and then dragged back to the Tang Clan's outer fort. After being hung on the wall of the outer fort for a day and a night, they were redeemed by their families.

After this incident, those who had ulterior motives towards the Tang Clan gave up. At least no one dared to mess around in the teahouse anymore.
