One person: Became a disciple of Shaolin Temple and instantly learned 72 Shaolin skills.

"Hehe, Zhang Chulan, don't you have a competition tomorrow? Go back and rest early."

Wang Qing smiled and turned to leave.

Wang Ye immediately followed.

Just then, Zhang Chulan called out to Wang Qing, "Wait."

"Is there anything else?" Wang Qing stopped and turned to look at Zhang Chulan.

"Could you tell me more about my grandfather? Please?"

Zhang Chulan looked at Wang Qing with a serious expression and pleaded.

Wang Ye looked the two of them up and down, then nudged Wang Qing and asked, "What's going on? You know about his grandfather's affairs?"

"Have you forgotten who his grandfather was?" Wang Qing rolled her eyes at Wang Ye.

Wang Ye then remembered.

Zhang Chulan's grandfather was someone who had comprehended the Qi Source Flow.

Now Wang Ye was also very curious about what exactly happened back then.

When he first obtained the Feng Hou Qi Men, he planned to use his inner vision to inquire about the Eight Extraordinary Techniques. Unfortunately, he saw an enormous fireball while in his inner vision, which frightened him so much that he quickly stopped.

Wang Qing rubbed his forehead in exasperation. "Zhang Chulan, you really are persistent."

"Please, please tell me," Zhang Chulan pleaded, clasping his hands together.

Wang Qing looked at Zhang Chulan and asked, "Zhang Chulan, are you sure you want to know now? I reckon even if I don't tell you, the Old Master will tell you sooner or later."

"I can't wait a moment longer, please," Zhang Chulan pleaded again.

"Alright then, let's sit down and talk." Wang Qing didn't care whether the ground was dirty or not, and plopped down on the ground.

Zhang Chulan immediately sat down opposite Wang Qing, looking at him expectantly.

Wang Ye and Feng Baobao followed suit and sat down next to the two.

After everyone sat down...

Wang Qing then looked at Zhang Chulan and asked slowly, "Zhang Chulan, the days when you were a child, hiding from your grandfather, must have been tough."

Although he didn't know why Wang Qing brought this up, Zhang Chulan nodded and said, "Those years were indeed tough. I asked my grandfather why, but he wouldn't tell me. He even forbade me from using our family's secret techniques in front of outsiders. If I did, we had to move immediately."

Now I know that someone is coveting my grandfather's Qi Source Flow, and I've even been labeled a so-called successor of the Qi Source Flow, but I have absolutely no idea what the Qi Source Flow is, and my grandfather never passed it on to me.

Since he chose to ask Wang Qing about his grandfather, Zhang Chulan was naturally willing to believe Wang Qing.

Therefore, he had no need to hide these trivial matters.

"Now you should know how your grandfather died, right?"

"I know." Zhang Chulan nodded, then subconsciously looked at Feng Baobao beside him.

Before his father died, Xu San and Xu Si told him everything.

Therefore, Zhang Chulan knew that his grandfather Zhang Huaiyi had exposed his whereabouts before his death, which led to him being besieged by a group of experts. These experts were all veterans of various sects, and in the end, they were all killed by Zhang Huaiyi.

Zhang Huaiyi ultimately chose not to endure the pain of the Tang Clan's Dan Shi (a form of internal alchemy).

He died at the hands of Feng Baobao.

He also asked Feng Baobao to pass on the old farmer's skills to him.

However, Zhang Chulan would never reveal anything about the old farmer's skills.

“Actually, your grandfather wasn’t the only one who was hunted down back then. There were thirty-five other people besides him,” Wang Qing said slowly.

"What? There are still thirty-five people?" Zhang Chulan's mouth dropped open in surprise.

He never imagined that, besides his grandfather, there were as many as thirty-five other people being hunted down.

Wang Qing nodded and continued, "Yes, they are collectively known as the Thirty-Six Thieves by outsiders."

"Thirty-six thieves?"

Zhang Chulan repeated the sentence in a low voice.

Then, still puzzled, he asked, "Why are these people chasing after my grandfather and the others? Is it because they possess the Eight Extraordinary Skills, or because my grandfather did something heinous?"

“No, your grandfather and the others didn’t do anything immoral, and they only learned the Eight Extraordinary Techniques after they were being chased,” Wang Qing said, shaking his head.

"Then what is the purpose of all this?" Zhang Chulan asked anxiously.

"Your grandfather and the others only swore an oath of brotherhood," Wang Qing said calmly, "but the one who initiated this oath was the leader of the Quanxing Sect."

"Zhang Chulan, now you know why they're chasing after your grandfather and the others, right?"

"Clean house!" Zhang Chulan uttered these four words with a grim expression.

He now understands very well what kind of sect Quanxing is; in the world of supernatural beings, Quanxing is a sect that everyone hates and beats.

They colluded with the leader of the Quanxing Sect.

That's definitely a big deal.

This is something that other righteous factions cannot tolerate.

Moreover, this sworn brotherhood involved as many as thirty-six people.

Wang Qing nodded and said, "That's right, it's about cleaning house. Most of the people participating in this sworn brotherhood ceremony are outstanding disciples from prestigious sects, which is giving the sects involved a real headache."

However, in order to maintain the positive image of their sect, they joined forces to issue a kill order against the Thirty-Six Thieves, hoping that the Thirty-Six Thieves would just disappear from the world in a muddle. As they pursued them, the Thirty-Six Thieves either hid or died, and in the end, only nine people remained.

Afterwards, the leader of Quanxing Sect summoned the remaining survivors. They secretly gathered together, and no one knows where they were or what they did.

However, when they reappeared, eight of these nine people had mastered a powerful technique, each of which was terrifyingly strong.

They then devised a plan to capture one of them, which led to the leak of the list of the Eight Extraordinary Techniques. After learning of the power of these techniques, they went mad, all wanting to obtain these powers, and naturally, they relentlessly hunted down your grandfather and the others.

After listening to Wang Qing's story, everyone fell silent for a moment.

Upon hearing this news, Zhang Chulan was in a state of extreme confusion. He never expected that his grandfather was being hunted down because of this.

Suddenly, he seemed to remember something and looked at Wang Qing, asking, "Then what about my master and the others back then..."

Zhang Chulan refused to believe that his advisor was also involved in the hunt for his grandfather.

Otherwise, he wouldn't know how to face them.

Now that things had come to this point, Wang Qing had no intention of hiding anything any longer. "Back then, the ones from the Celestial Master's Mansion who went down the mountain to hunt down your grandfather were none other than the current Celestial Master and Elder Tian Jinzhong." Before Zhang Chulan could react, Wang Qing continued, "However, rather than hunting him down, it was more like they wanted to protect your grandfather."

"Protect?" Zhang Chulan looked at Wang Qing with some confusion.

Wang Qing nodded and continued, "Yes, they came down the mountain to take your grandfather back. With the old Celestial Master's abilities, protecting your grandfather is absolutely no problem."

"It's just that your grandfather didn't want to bring trouble to the sect, that's why he didn't choose to go back."
