One person: I am just a pawnshop owner

Zhang Jingqing's expression remained unchanged as he replied:

"How do you make such a judgment?"

"A few days ago, Master, you summoned Senior Brother Huaiyi. At that time, your expression was quite serious, as if you were about to punish him. Now that Senior Brother Huaiyi has disappeared on the mountain, I can only make this guess."

"You're quite attentive. I tried to keep a normal expression at first, but I didn't expect you to notice it anyway."

"After all, I was raised by my master, so I have a deep understanding of him."

Zhang Jingqing sighed softly upon hearing this, then nodded and said:

"Just think of it as me driving Huaiyi down the mountain. Are you here to plead for him?"

"Disciple, I dare not. Master has his reasons for doing this. Besides, I don't even know what Senior Brother Huaiyi has done, so how can I plead for mercy?"

"Hey..."

Zhang Jingqing stood up, took a few steps and said:

"Jianxi, if you become a teacher in the future, and one of your disciples behaves like a thief in his daily interactions, being secretive and even hiding things from you, what would you do?"

"Has that disciple ever done anything evil?"

"Never."

"Has that disciple ever done any good deeds?"

"Of course I have."

"Has this disciple ever taken advantage of his fellow disciples?"

"No."

"That disciple thought this matter was nothing. People are all different. Although I am his master, I cannot completely change his character. All I can do is guide him towards good. Since this disciple has done good deeds and not done evil, the guilt of concealing the truth is nothing to me."

"This is a crime of deceiving the teacher, do you mind?"

"The human heart is as immeasurable and deep as the ocean. Who among those living in this world can truly claim to be upright and honest? I only know that when it comes to deeds, not hearts, no one is perfect."

"You've really cultivated this mentality!"

"Master, you are too kind. I just act according to my heart and try to empathize with others."

"It's easier said than done to put yourself in someone else's shoes!"

Zhang Jianxi's conversation with Zhang Jingqing ended here, and Zhang Jingqing drove him out of the hall.

On the way back to the room, Zhang Jianxi couldn't help but think about something.

Senior Brother Huaiyi, what exactly are you hiding?

...

a few days later.

Huaiyi is back.

Zhang Jingqing also came back with him.

Zhang Jingqing went down the mountain saying that he was going to the market, but he actually brought back Huaiyi who had disappeared for many days.

This made the fellow disciples believe even more that Huaiyi had disappeared because he had gone to do something for his master.

After Zhang Jingqing dismissed those curious disciples, he asked Zhang Jianxi to follow him.

Although Zhang Jianxi didn't know what was going on, he still followed along.

Huaiyi was also traveling with them.

After arriving at the back of Longhu Mountain, Zhang Jingqing first said to Huaiyi:

"Huaiyi, I was able to bring you back thanks in no small part to Jianxi's contribution. I had a conversation with Jianxi a few nights ago..."

Then Zhang Jingqing told Huaiyi about the conversation.

After hearing this, Huaiyi immediately bowed to Zhang Jianxi and thanked him.

Zhang Jianxi quickly helped the other person up and said that he didn't know what would happen next, and hoped that Senior Brother Huaiyi would not think too much.

But this excuse could not erase the guilt and gratitude in Huaiyi's heart.

He still thanked Zhang Jianxi again sincerely.

Zhang Jianxi saw that he couldn't dodge and just took it.

Then Zhang Jingqing looked at the two of them and said:

"I have called you two here to tell you something."

"Master, please explain clearly!"*2

"I will teach you two the art of thunder, but you must not tell anyone else about this."

Zhang Jianxi and Huaiyi were both shocked.

Thunder magic, this is something that only the next generation of Heavenly Master can learn.

Seeing the surprise on the two people's faces, Zhang Jingqing explained:

"Don't overthink it. Although Thunder Magic is nominally the ability of the Heavenly Master's successor, the rules of our Longhu Mountain are not rigid. Teaching students in accordance with their aptitude is the teaching method of our Longhu Mountain. I naturally have my considerations when teaching you two Thunder Magic."

"First, Huaiyi, you can regard everything I did to you before as a test. Although your performance in this test was not good, it can be considered as barely passing. At the same time, you have a thief in your heart, so I will teach you the Thunder Technique!"

"As for Jianxi, you've performed extremely well in recent years. You've practiced diligently and have a righteous character. None of the brothers and sisters on Longhu Mountain disapprove of you. I've thought about letting you learn thunder magic a long time ago. You must study it seriously!"

· ·······Request flowers···· ·····

Upon hearing this, Zhang Jianxi and Ye Huaiyi bowed and said that they would study hard.

Zhang Jingqing suddenly thought of something and said:

"It just so happens that I will personally teach you for three years. After three years, you can compete with Zhiwei and see who is better."

Zhang Jianxi and Huaiyi were both stunned when they heard this.

Zhang Zhiwei.

This name is really too challenging.

Three years.

For a moment, both of them were full of fantasies about themselves three years later.

If I could really defeat Zhang Zhiwei...how wonderful it would be...

So, the two of them secretly learned thunder magic from Zhang Jingqing.

Time flies, and three years have passed quietly.

It is now the 15th year of the Republic of China (1926).

Longhu Mountain is still quiet and natural.

In the past three years, other sects have often come to pay their respects, and the events of the Lu family's birthday banquet have spread throughout the martial arts world.

...... 0 ...

Zhang Jianxi and Zhang Zhiwei have become truly famous in the underworld.

That is why many sects want to meet the two of them.

The two of them treated this politely, and after obtaining Zhang Jingqing's consent, they would also compete with other sects in Baishan.

This back and forth not only broadened the horizons of those sects, but also broadened Zhang Jianxi's horizons.

After seeing more and more different martial arts styles, Zhang Jianxi began to think about going down the mountain to gain experience, and this idea became stronger and stronger...

This night.

Zhang Zhiwei walked casually to the door of the hall.

He yawned and asked the master who was sitting on the steps:

"Master, why did you call me here so late?"

Zhang Jingqing said:

"Zhiwei, thank you for your hard work in teaching the skills on my behalf these past few years."

"Hey, no, no, it's what a disciple should do."

"It's good that you think this way, but you can't neglect your own practice."

"Don't worry, Master, I've been practicing all the time."

"Oh? Really... Then I'll find a fellow apprentice for you and you two can practice in front of me?"

Zhang Zhiwei agreed nonchalantly:

"Okay, then I'll go find Jianxi and come over."

In recent years, the only person who could compete with Zhang Zhiwei, who let the water go, was Zhang Jianxi.

As soon as Zhang Zhiwei finished speaking, Zhang Jianxi walked out of the hall.

He smiled and said:

"Brother, no need to call, I'm right here."

At the same time, Huaiyi also put down the broom beside him and looked at Zhang Zhiwei seriously:

"Brother, there's me."

Zhang Zhiwei was stunned. Zhang Jingqing then said:

"Zhiwei, why are you still standing there? Give your two junior brothers some pointers."

Zhang Zhiwei finally realized what was going on. He grinned and said,

"Okay, are you two going to come together, or one at a time?"

........

as predicted.

Both Zhang Jianxi and Huaiyi were defeated by Zhang Zhiwei.

Both of them used their full strength, but Zhang Zhiwei still looked very calm.

This made both of them wonder how strong Zhang Zhiwei was.

Even Zhang Jingqing was a little dumbfounded by this.

How come his disciple never hits a bottleneck when he becomes stronger?

Zhang Zhiwei withdrew his hand and looked at the two junior brothers in front of him and said with a smile:

"You two can do it. Even for me, it's a bit difficult to deal with your two simultaneous attacks."

It would have been better if this sentence had not been said. Once it was said, the two of them felt that Zhang Zhiwei was like a mountain and could not be challenged at all.

Zhang Jianxi smiled helplessly. He soon stopped caring about this feeling. He bowed and said:

"Senior Brother Zhiwei admitted it."

"Hahaha, Jianxi, you are very strong, but don't underestimate yourself."

"Brother, you're joking. I told you a long time ago that I never practiced cultivation to compete with you."

"Well, indeed, it depends on your character, Jianxi!"

Compared with Zhang Jianxi, although Huaiyi also appeared to be indifferent on the surface, the pauses in his expression at "903" still made people sense that he was a little unwilling.

Among the people present, he might be the one with the worst character.

"Alright, all of you go back and rest. Come to the main hall again tomorrow."

After Zhang Jingqing spoke, the three of them left.

On the way back, Zhang Zhiwei couldn't help but express his curiosity about Huaiyi.
