Zhu Tian: Starting from the World of Zongwu

.....

On Peach Blossom Island, petals were falling everywhere. In a courtyard, Huang Rong was sitting under a peach tree, picking peach branches out of boredom.

Not far away, the island owner Huang Yaoshi was flipping through a book.

He is aloof and even evil in nature. Few people can tolerate his temper. He has few friends in his life. On this island, apart from his daughter, there is no one who dares to talk to him.

"Dad, a few days ago I saw a large ship approaching our Peach Blossom Island, but it was blocked by a formation. The people on it were the Xuanyi Guards, right?"

"Ok!"

Huang Yaoshi flipped through the book with a smile on his face.

Since returning from home last time, my daughter's temper has become much kinder. She is no longer as rebellious as before and has even shown a lot of interest in learning martial arts.

This made Huang Yaoshi very happy. The child had grown up and finally started to become sensible.

The only thing that made him uncomfortable was that his daughter seemed to have something on her mind, but she kept it hidden and refused to tell him as her father. After finishing her training every day, she would go to the beach for a while, as if she was waiting for something.

As someone who has been through this, Huang Yaoshi knew that the girl was in love and Rong'er had a lover.

This made Huang Yaoshi feel quite uncomfortable.

Ever since his wife died, and later because of the Nine Yin Scriptures incident when he drove away the disciples on the island, he and Rong'er have been dependent on each other.

Now that Rong'er has a lover, this makes him, an old father, feel lonely and abandoned.

"It's the Xuanyi Guard, but I don't like those court lackeys!"

As he spoke, Huang Yaoshi stared at Huang Rong, as if trying to see something from her expression.

If it were in the past, Huang Rong would definitely have retorted if her father described her lover's profession as a court lackey.

But now, Huang Rong just smiled and did not argue with her father.

Ever since she experienced some things in Mingzhou, killed some people, and witnessed with her own eyes the Song Xuan brothers and sisters destroying several major families and a royal palace, her mentality is no longer that of the ignorant and rebellious girl.

She now cherishes the people around her.

She has someone she likes and she also has her own good friends, but she knows that the person who loves her the most in this world must be the old father in front of her.

Even though her father had a bad temper and a strange personality, and many of his behaviors and ideas she did not approve of.

But, so what? He is my father after all, so I should just give in to him.

Huang Yaoshi withdrew his gaze with a half-smile.

Go ahead and pretend.

Although he didn't know much about his daughter's experience in Mingzhou, he knew a little bit.

However, his daughter didn't say much after returning to the island, and he didn't ask much either. As long as the guys from outside didn't come to take advantage of his little girl, he would pretend that he knew nothing.

But the next moment, his expression froze and he suddenly looked into the distance.

"Someone has sneaked onto the island!"

Without thinking, Huang Lao Xie raised his hand and snapped his fingers. The magical power of snapping fingers was activated, and an invisible force burst out and disappeared into the void in a moment.

On the outskirts of the island, Song Xuan was looking at the surrounding scenery. Suddenly, he became alert and pulled Song Qian's arm to move sideways to the right.

The next moment, Song Xuan felt an invisible force passing by his side, and then, a narrow passage as thick as a finger appeared silently on the stone wall on one side.

There, someone pierced through it with finger force.

Seeing this, Song Xuan's face darkened.

"The Finger Magical Power is indeed worthy of its reputation!"

Huang Yaoshi of the East China Sea is famous for many unique skills, and the Finger Magic is one of them.

In addition to the fact that the finger force was thick, condensed and extremely powerful, the most terrifying thing was that this move was silent and without any force fluctuations. Ordinary people would have no sense at all, and their bodies would be inexplicably pierced.

Song Xuan stepped into the air, standing in the void, looking towards a forest.

"Island Master Huang is so old yet he still wants to launch a sneak attack. Does he have any respect for martial ethics?"

"Haha! Martial virtue, what is that? Do you think you can use the rules of the secular world to restrain me?"

A long laugh was heard from the woods, and a blurry figure suddenly appeared a few miles away, as if it was condensed from endless starlight, and landed lightly on an ancient tree.

But this man was tall and thin, wearing a long green gown and a square scarf on his head, dressed like a scholar.

Song Xuan looked at him carefully and saw that he had a gaunt figure, a tall and thin stature, a graceful demeanor, a dignified and elegant demeanor, and a serene look like a god. He looked to be in his forties, which was the most charming time for a man.

Victoria Song snorted coldly, "Lao Xie, this is not the way to treat guests!"

As soon as she got on the island, Huang Laoxie suddenly attacked her. Song Qian had a bad impression of him and spoke to him rudely.

"You two are not really guests since you came here uninvited!"

Huang Lao Xie was not annoyed. He was evil by nature. If you were submissive, he would look down on you. If you were unruly and eccentric, he might treat you differently.

Chapter 255 Song Xuan: If you are not a Grandmaster, why are you pretending to be me?

"Shouldn't we come?"

"Shouldn't have come!"

Song Xuan laughed, "But we are here now!"

Huang Lao Xie patted the long sword at his waist, "Now that you're here, you have to... Hey, Rong'er, what are you doing?"

Before he could finish his words, Huang Rong, who had hurriedly come up behind him, quickly covered her father's mouth and looked at Song Xuan and the others with surprise.

"Sister Song, Brother Song. Long time no see!"

"Haha, Xiao Rong'er, long time no see."

When she saw Huang Rong come out, Song Qian's expression improved and she pointed at Huang Laoxie who had a droopy face.

"Is this your father?"

"It's him!"

Huang Rong was a little embarrassed. "My father has a strange temper. He doesn't know you are my friends. I hope you can forgive me!"

Victoria Song said "oh" and waved her hand at Huang Lao Xie, "Uncle, I'm here to play with your daughter. Are you welcome?"

Huang Lao Xie looked Song Qian up and down, and seemed very satisfied with her, with a smile on his face, "Since you are Rong'er's friend, you are naturally welcome.

Rong'er, take your friends out to play."

Huang Rong happily walked forward and took Song Qian's hand. The two chatted about their experiences of the past few days. While chatting, Huang Rong carefully glanced at Song Xuan from time to time.

Finally, she couldn't help but asked, "Brother Song, are you here to see me too?"

"Oh, I'm mainly here to talk to your father about something, and I came to see you by the way. Have you been practicing hard recently?"

"There are some!"

Huang Rong nodded happily, "I'm serious. When I become a master, I'll be your adjutant, okay?"

"Rong'er!"

Huang Lao Xie couldn't bear it any longer. "Take your friend to the backyard to play. This young man wants to talk to me about something. I want to have a good talk with him!"

Huang Rong hesitated for a moment, "Dad, Brother Song helped me before, please don't make things difficult for him!"

"What are you saying?" Huang Lao Xie's face darkened. "Can I still bully the weak?"

Huang Rong rolled her eyes and said, "You just said it yourself. You don't know what martial ethics are. Isn't it normal for the strong to bully the weak?"

Song Xuan nodded slightly at her, "You guys go have fun, your father and I do have something serious to discuss."

"Oh, okay. Then Brother Song, if you have anything, just call me."

Huang Rong's heart beat faster, and she pulled Song Qian's arm and walked towards the backyard.

Along the way, she felt very nervous, fearing that the two would fight, but also vaguely looking forward to it.

What does Brother Song want to talk about with my father?

Could it be that he came to propose marriage suddenly?

But isn't this too sudden?

From beginning to end, he never showed any sign of liking me!

After the two men walked away, Huang Lao Xie looked Song Xuan up and down, like a father-in-law looking at his son-in-law.

Young Master Song's figure and appearance were naturally impeccable. He picked and chose but couldn't find any faults, and he became more and more unhappy.

Especially when he saw that boy looking at him calmly without any awe at all, he felt even more uncomfortable.

In the depressing atmosphere, Huang Lao Xie, as the host, spoke first.

"You're quite capable of dodging my attack. You're still so young, but you're truly formidable!"

"Okay!"

Song Xuan said politely, but his expression was calm, as if to say, "You are right."

Huang Lao Xie couldn't help but feel a little surprised, "Are you really not afraid of me?"

Song Xuan pondered for a moment. Although he felt it was impossible, he decided to play it safe first.

So, he asked cautiously, "Senior, are you a Grandmaster?"

Huang Lao Xie frowned and shook his head slightly, "What a realm a Grandmaster is. This small Southern Song Dynasty can't produce a Grandmaster!"

"Oh!"

Song Xuan's tense body relaxed immediately, "If you're not a Grandmaster, why are you pretending to be a senior here?

Do you really think I'm not afraid of you?

Do you think that just because you're nicknamed Lao Xie, everyone will avoid you when they see you?"

Huang Yaoshi rubbed his ears, stunned, and suspected that he had just heard it wrong.

He roamed the Southern Song Dynasty martial arts world for decades. Although he basically did not leave the island since his wife's death, his name, the East Evil Huang Yaoshi, was still well-known in the martial arts world.

Especially since he was promoted to the Grandmaster level, Peach Blossom Island has become one of the holy places of martial arts in the eyes of many people.

Some people in the martial arts world even call the current Southern Song Dynasty the era of the Five Wonders.

That's it, can't you be considered a senior master?

"Ever since the Huashan Sword Contest, no one has dared to speak to me like this in many years!"

Song Xuan smiled indifferently, "What a coincidence, you met him today!"

Huang Lao Xie was a rebellious, arrogant, and eccentric person. He was knowledgeable in astronomy, geography, the five elements and the eight trigrams, economics, and military strategy, and was an expert in everything.

It is difficult for normal people to have a conversation with such a person.

Most people cannot follow his way of thinking at all, so his words and actions seem very evil to outsiders.

When talking to this kind of person, you can't indulge him, nor can you be too accommodating to him. If it really doesn't work, just confront him head-on and beat him up.

If Wang Chongyang had defeated him like that, he would not have any resentment, but would only admire the other party in his heart.

If other old masters were repeatedly bullied by young people, they would probably have been embarrassed and turned against the young people long ago.

But Huang Lao Xie was not angry at all, and even the slight dissatisfaction he had originally felt towards Song Xuan had dissipated a lot.

"You're quite interesting! In all my life, this is the first time I've met such an interesting young man like you."

Song Xuan waved his hand, "That's because you haven't seen enough. You should go out more often. The world is not peaceful these days, and geniuses are emerging one after another."

Your name, Huang Lao Xie, may be well-known among the older generation, but it doesn't work well among the younger generation!"

"Haha!" Huang Yaoshi laughed heartily, "Who cares? What does it have to do with me what the world thinks of me?"

As he was laughing, the smile on his face suddenly disappeared, and he stared at Song Xuan, "I know you, Xuanyiwei Song Xuan, who killed Mu Dao Ren in Qingzhou.

Because of you, many people gave up their fantasies, and suddenly there were many more martial arts masters in the world.

At your age, with such strength, it's no exaggeration to say you're a child of destiny!"

Song Xuan waved his hand and said, "No need to be polite. You should know why I'm here. Just give me a direct answer."

"Young man, you are too anxious!"

Huang Lao Xie's expression was somewhat uncertain, "You are excellent in all aspects and you are also very interesting. You are not one of those pedantic people. I admire you very much.
