The main courtyard of Xingyun Manor is extremely spacious.

The banquet tables set up in the courtyard were already sparsely occupied by guests.

Some of them were dressed in fine clothes, clearly indicating that they were renowned and prestigious heroes of the martial arts world.

Some were dressed simply and elegantly, like chivalrous hermits who were indifferent to fame and fortune and had noble sentiments.

Now their attention was drawn to the voice of their master, Long Xiaoyun.

Then I saw the legendary Li Xunhuan.

Many people looked surprised.

This is because the legendary third-place scholar, the former owner of Xingyun Manor, actually has such an appearance.

Li Xunhuan's clothes weren't particularly neat; they were just draped lazily over his body.

His hair was a bit messy, and he had stubble on his face.

He was nothing like the dashing "Little Li Scholar" they had imagined.

But that wasn't the most surprising thing.

The most eye-catching person was the young man, A Fei, who was following Li Xunhuan.

He looked to be only fifteen or sixteen years old.

His clothes looked like those of a child whom Li Xunhuan had just picked up from the slums.

His extraordinary bearing and unyielding posture immediately revealed his exceptional character.

But if he were just a young man following behind the third-ranked scholar, he wouldn't attract so much attention.

Most people would assume he was a page or something similar.

They were focused on Afei simply because they had heard about what had happened at the door earlier.

Some of them were even firsthand witnesses.

These people rushed in early and have already embellished and spread what they saw.

After all, the names of "Iron-Faced and Impartial" Zhao Zhengyi and "Iron-Hearted and Shocking" Qin Xiaoyi are well-known.

She is still the main character of today's banquet.

For such a person to suffer a public humiliation is truly a rare occurrence.

What's more, the one who embarrassed them was a boy, a young man who hadn't even reached adulthood yet.

It's fine if we can't gain any advantage verbally.

Even two veteran heroes were no match for this child in terms of hand and foot skills.

It wouldn't even hurt anyone.

This made everyone marvel at Ah Fei's extraordinary abilities.

Looking at themselves or their younger relatives, they wish they could slap themselves and kick those good-for-nothing juniors.

Ah Fei noticed the attention people were giving him, but didn't take it to heart.

I've seen this kind of scene too many times; it no longer stirs my emotions.

What I'm more concerned about is how to acquire more martial arts skills and more money.

When the Ancient Martial Arts Chronicles saw Lin Shiyin, it showed no reaction whatsoever.

It seems I'll need to search around Xingyun Manor.

Long Xiaoyun had already spent all his wealth while making a name for himself, so he was no easy target.

Therefore, after obtaining the "Precious Mirror of Pitying Flowers," it was time for him to leave.

Go and earn more money as soon as possible to upgrade your martial arts skills.

There is simply no suitable opportunity for me to freely explore Xingyun Manor right now.

It would be very impolite to go without informing the host.

More importantly, without their consent, if the villagers find out, it could easily cause further trouble.

If this causes trouble, it will disrupt your plans.

Just then, a figure suddenly rushed over recklessly.

Ah Fei stepped aside, ready to let the person pass.

Unexpectedly, this person seemed to have aimed precisely at him.

His upper body suddenly tilted to one side, and his shoulder fell towards his abdomen.

Ah Fei could tell at a glance that this person was doing it on purpose.

A person who falls normally will instinctively reach out to grab something.

But this person treated his own body like a cannonball, determined to smash it into himself.

Judging from the way he exerted his strength, although his martial arts skills were mediocre, he was now using a technique like "Iron Mountain Lean".

Since it's aimed at me, I won't hold back.

In the blink of an eye.

Ah Fei had already used the true energy of the second level of "Mingyu Gong" to activate the first level of "Iron Shirt" kung fu, condensing the true energy in his lower abdomen.

At this point, the lower abdomen was as hard as a copper wall or an iron wall.

There was a loud 'bang'.

The person who crashed into him was bounced back by his own force.

In the instant he was thrown away, Ah Fei's hand inadvertently touched his back and wrist twice.

The person fell to the ground with a "thud," and the sound suggested a rather heavy fall.

He sniffled and then burst into tears.

Only then did everyone realize that the reckless figure was actually a child.

The child looks to be no more than seven or eight years old.

With a round face and round eyes, he looks rather chubby.

He was wearing a red cloak with white rabbit fur trim.

Originally, he looked like a beautifully sculpted Red Boy, but now he was lying on the ground in a sorry state, crying and making a fuss.

Lin Shiyin was the first to react.

After she came out of the backyard, she only glanced at Li Xunhuan indifferently.

The indifference in his eyes was like ice that had stood for thousands of years.

She never softened even a little bit for Li Xunhuan.

Even when Li Xunhuan cried out in despair, she seemed not to hear him.

Even her pupils did not waver in the slightest.

Then she heard the sound of a child crying.

Once a woman has a child and becomes a mother, she will usually devote all her physical and mental energy to her child.

And this is especially true for a woman who has lost hope in everything else and whose heart is dead, after giving birth to her child.

Her child was the only thing she cared about in her life.

Lin Shiyin ran a few steps, squatted down, and helped the fallen Red Boy up and held him in her arms.

When the child saw his mother, he cried even louder.

Ah Fei, however, felt that the child seemed to want everyone to hear his cries.

In order to gain sympathy.

Red Boy cried and screamed hoarsely:

"Mommy, it hurts so much, it hurts so much..."

Lin Shiyin, who was half-squatting and holding Hong Hai'er, burst into tears upon hearing these words.

Her heart was broken by the child's cries.

She hugged Red Boy tightly and asked anxiously:

"Who? Who hurt you?"

Red Boy shakily stretched out a hand and pointed at Ah Fei.

"He's the one who hurt the child!"

Lin Shiyin's gaze followed his finger and landed on A Fei's innocent-looking face.

Ah Fei already knew who this Red Boy was.

He is Long Xiaoyun, the son of Long Xiaoyun and Lin Shiyin.

This kid is an unruly individual, far more cunning than his father, Long Xiaoyun.

His mental capacity is far beyond that of an ordinary adult.

That collision just now must have been aimed at me.

Such behavior is likely related to the fact that he had cracked Long Xiaoyun's trick and damaged the reputation of Xingyun Manor.

This kid is avenging his father.

It's just that his skills are not good enough; he can't even break through his own first level of "Iron Shirt".

However, this also happens to be an opportunity.

He wasn't that old himself, so he pretended to befriend the young man.

The sight of two children playing together is exactly what these "adults" are happy to see.

Taking advantage of playing with Long Xiaoyun, he then asked to play at Xingyun Manor.

Long Xiaoyun would surely think that he was trying to curry favor with him, and would definitely agree.

And he himself took the opportunity to search for "The Precious Mirror of Pitying Flowers".
