Evil Master and Disciple

Ye Feng and his companions of three were strolling along the official road, riding on an old horse that would foam at the mouth after running a few miles.

The infrastructure in this era was quite good. The official road was very wide, with drainage ditches on both sides and trees to stabilize the soil.

It is relatively safe to travel on the official road. Although there are bandits and heroes in this world, they rarely dare to appear on the official road to rob and plunder.

There are many merchants and travelers traveling on the official road. From time to time, you can see long teams of mules and horses, as well as roadside tea stalls for pedestrians to rest.

After walking for nearly three hours, it was already past noon. The three old horses could no longer run, so the three of them rested in front of a teahouse.

At this moment, they were already sixty or seventy miles away from the post house they left in the morning, and had almost reached the border of Wuyun County. According to the map, they would enter the territory of Anyun County in a few dozen miles.

However, if they use the Qinglong Mountains in the east as a reference, the area they are currently in is actually still southwest of the Qinglong Mountains.

We did not reach the middle of Qinglong Mountain, which runs north-south.

The teahouse is run by an elderly couple.

There is no good tea.

A big bowl of tea is mainly used to serve the people passing by.

Of course, anyone who is more particular will carry their own tea with them.

Ye Feng was not a man of particulars. After tying up the three horses, he waved his hand and asked for three bowls of tea.

The stall was not big. In addition to the boiler for making tea, there were four tea tables that were probably about the same size as the elderly couple.

The worn tea table bore deep marks of time.

In addition to Ye Feng and the other two, there were two other guests in the teahouse.

There were two men with two swords beside them. They should be monks or wanderers.

After Ye Feng and the other two walked into the teahouse and sat down, they immediately attracted the attention of the two men.

Of course, their attention was not on Ye Feng, the young boy wearing a conical hat, but on Yun Shuang'er and Shen Tianqi.

Although the two women's faces could not be seen clearly due to their veils, they were both wearing the finest silk and had extraordinary temperaments. It was obvious at a glance that they were not ordinary women.

After the elderly shopkeeper served tea to the three people, one of the dark-skinned men stood up, clasped his fists, and asked, "Are you three monks?"

The three of them looked.

The two women didn't say anything. Ye Feng glanced at the long sword beside the man, grinned, and said, "Yes."

The dark-skinned man asked, "Are you a cultivator from Qinglong Mountain?"

"That's not the case. We were just passing through here on our way down the mountain to practice. So, are you two fellow Daoists from Qinglong Mountain?"

The dark-skinned man nodded and said, "My name is Feng Yuan, a disciple of the Tianxing Valley in Qinglong Mountain. This is my junior fellow apprentice Qian Fang. I wonder which sects you three are from?"

Ye Feng had heard of Tianxing Valley. It had four to five hundred disciples and was a well-known sect in the Qinglong Mountains.

The Yunhai Sect has always been on good terms with the sects in Qinglong Mountain. After Ye Feng learned that these two were disciples of Tianxing Valley, he naturally would not show any hostility.

He said, "We are just independent cultivators from the Tianyun Mountains, not from any sect. My last name is Ye, and these two are my senior sisters."

"Oh, it turns out to be Young Master Ye from the Tianyun Mountains. I've heard so much about you!"

Ye Feng felt funny.

I thought to myself that since you already know my name, what's the point of hearing about me for so long?

However, he also knew that this was a common greeting used by righteous monks.

"Brother Feng, my sister and I came down the mountain to train. We just arrived here and noticed that there are many cultivators passing by in the sky. Did something happen in Qinglong Mountain?"

Feng Yuan nodded and said, "It's the Xiaoyao Sword Sect. I heard they offended someone, and now their enemies are coming to find them. One of their disciples was injured in Wuyun City the other day.

Sect Master Liu has already sealed off the Xiaoyao Sword Sect's mountain gate, and it looks like a big deal."

Ye Feng held the tea bowl and moved the bench. "Is there such a thing? I heard that the Xiaoyao Sword Formation is a very powerful sect in the Qinglong Mountains. It is said that Sect Master Liu's cultivation has reached the realm of heaven and man. Who is that person? How dare he be so bold?"

The thinner man named Qian Fang said, "The Xiaoyao Sword Sect's strength is quite exaggerated. They always say that they have more than 500 disciples and that their leader Liu Shiheng has reached the Heavenly Man Realm. In fact, the Xiaoyao Sword Sect's true strength is not that strong and is far inferior to our Tianxing Valley.

Otherwise, how could the other party, with only one person showing up, scare Sect Leader Liu so much that he would close the mountain gate overnight?"

Ye Feng pretended to be surprised and said, "What? There's only one person on the other side? Then the other party must be very powerful."

"probably."

"Brother Feng, Brother Qian, the three of us came down the mountain to gain experience and gain knowledge. Please tell me what exactly is going on."

Feng Yuan and Qian Fang were also talkative, and since they had nothing to do, they started chatting with Ye Feng.

Feng Yuandao said, “I heard that Liu Shiheng did something evil thirteen years ago and owed a blood debt. Now he is seeking revenge and has threatened to take his head within three days.

Now that a day has passed, the show has just begun.

If the three of you are not in a hurry to travel, you can stay in our Tianxing Valley for a few days. This matter will surely come to a conclusion."

"Well... I'd like to go to Tianxing Valley, but my two senior sisters don't like interacting with people, so I'm afraid I can't go..."

Yun Shuang'er and Shen Tianqi looked at each other in surprise.

They didn't expect that Ye Feng could get along so well with these two Tianxing Valley disciples whom he had never met before.

I couldn't help but smile bitterly.

If it were them, they wouldn't have this ability.

Ye Feng had been chatting with the two disciples from Tianxing Valley.

A lot of information was obtained.

Not only did they learn that the atmosphere in the Qinglong Mountains was tense, but they also learned that the reason they appeared in this roadside teahouse was because they were ordered by their master to go out and gather information and find the person who wanted to take revenge on the Xiaoyao Sword Sect.

Ye Feng was surprised and said, "This is Xiaoyao Sword Sect's business. Why are you from Tianxing Valley getting involved in this mess?"

Qian Fang shook his head and said, "We don't want to either. Although our Tianxing Valley and Xiaoyao Sword Sect have always been at odds, the cultivators of the Qinglong Mountain Range are of the same blood. Now that Xiaoyao Sword Sect is in trouble, our Tianxing Valley, as the largest sect in the Qinglong Mountain Range, can't just sit back and watch."

"Have you found any trace of that person?"

"It's good to find out. We two brothers wouldn't be drinking tea here in this freezing weather. I only heard that the person was a man with a face that looked like it had been burned and was disfigured..."

Ye Feng said: "Isn't this target quite obvious? It should be easy to find."

"The target's characteristics are very obvious, but he's a cultivator, and Qinglong Mountain is so huge, how could he possibly find it?"

After chatting for a while, Feng Yuan and Qian Fang threw a few large coins on the table.

Feng Yuan said, "We still have to go to Anyun County to meet up with our companions. Young Master Ye, if we are destined to meet again, let's meet again!"

Ye Feng bowed to the two of them.

Then he saw the two men riding two tall horses and going away along the official road.
