"Beijiang City is backed by Northmoon Mountain, its east by Ziyuan River, and its west by the fertile Jingling Plain. It is an ancient city with thousands of years of history …"
Yun Xi rode a date red mare and walked alongside Seven. She introduced the history of Beijiang City to him.
She originally thought that Xiao Qi was crude and ignorant, so she didn't care much about her. But Seven displayed shocking cultivation talent and officially became Gao Zhengyang's disciple. Killing Jin Laoxi with a single punch proved her strength.
Now, Yun Xi had to admit that Little Seven was stronger than her. She didn't have the arrogant attitude of a young miss when they interacted. Instead, he became more respectful and careful, paying attention to his words.
The world was just that realistic. Seven displayed her strength and immediately won Yun Xi's respect.
Xiao Qi had a rough personality and wasn't that sensitive. It was just that he felt more comfortable getting along with Yun Xi now, and he wasn't as weak as he was a few days ago.
She didn't have many friends since she was a child. Although Gao Zhengyang was very good to her, he couldn't be considered a friend. After a few days, he slowly treated Yun Xi as a friend.
She happily pointed at the tall city in the distance and said, "What's so fun about Beijiang City?"
Yun Xi said, "North River City has a population of several hundred thousand, and is the center of a radius of a thousand miles. Every day, there would be caravans coming from afar. It was extremely prosperous. There are all kinds of delicacies, luxurious clothes, jewelry, and even a lively night market at night … The moonlight at Jade Dragon Bend and the sunrise at North River Peak are all extremely famous scenery … "
"Hundreds of thousands of people, that's a lot …"
Seven's face was filled with shock and excitement. She hadn't seen many people since she was young. The number of hundreds of thousands of people had already exceeded her ability to calculate.
She counted seriously with her fingers. "Ten, one hundred. Ten hundred is one thousand. Twenty hundred is two thousand. One hundred hundred is ten thousand …"
Yun Xi touched her forehead speechlessly, but she really couldn't bear to see Xiao Qi continue counting, so she interrupted her and said, "Anyway, it's a lot …"
Seven sighed, "The numbers are really complicated, I really don't understand them."
Gao Zhengyang, who was at the side, couldn't help but laugh. Little Seven's old-fashioned look was really fun. This child wasn't really that careless. He even knew how to hide his ignorance.
He smiled and said to Yun Xi, "Xiao Qi grew up in the mountains, so no one taught her these things. When we get to Beijiang City, I'll have to trouble you to teach her how to read and count. Even if I can't be a talented woman, I can't be a little fool! "
Seven's face flushed red from Gao Zhengyang's words. She felt so humiliated that she lowered her head and refused to look at anyone.
Yun Xi couldn't help but smile. She nodded vigorously. "I'll definitely do my best."
"What's the use of studying and arithmetic? If you have the time, you might as well practice boxing …"
Seven felt that it was too embarrassing and couldn't help but mutter.
Gao Zhengyang lectured, "Words and arithmetic are precious knowledge, the crystallization of countless people's wisdom. Only ignorant people would think that learning knowledge was useless. Without the accumulation of knowledge from generation to generation, how could the human race continue to improve … "
Seven was a little unconvinced, "Can learning words and math make my martial arts stronger?"
As she spoke, she glanced at Yun Xi, implying that Yun Xi was more knowledgeable than her, but she still couldn't beat her. However, he felt that Yun Xi was his friend, so it wasn't appropriate for him to say this in front of her.
"Martial Dao is also a type of knowledge. Without the accumulation of generations of martial artists, how could there be such a strong martial path? "
Gao Zhengyang said, "Learning words can allow you to understand the world more deeply. Arithmetic is even more amazing, and when you learn it to the extreme, you can see the essence of heaven and earth."
"Old Jin is so cunning and crafty, I will just kill him with one punch." Seven muttered, "Arithmetic is useless right …"
Gao Zhengyang didn't plan to give a long explanation. Seven was still young, so it was normal that she didn't have such an understanding. She could only slowly understand these theories on her own.
However, there were some things that he had to make clear to her. In case she misunderstood and it would be more troublesome.
"The laws of heaven and earth are special and can strengthen the physical body. So, martial arts flourishes in this world and martial artists rule. Words and arithmetic can't be the right path, but they aren't useless. Apart from training, you have to learn knowledge and broaden your horizons. "
Gao Zhengyang said seriously, "Schemes and methods are limited, but martial arts are limitless. Using the limited to fight the unlimited, how can you not lose? However, you can't equate schemes with intelligence. Words and arithmetic are used to raise your intelligence, but only when intelligence controls strength will it be meaningful … "
Looking at Gao Zhengyang's solemn expression, Seven didn't dare to be stubborn anymore. She quickly acted like she was being taught.
Gao Zhengyang found it funny, "There is no need to act. When you can stand above the Nine Heavens, then you will understand my words."
Seven nodded her head. Although she still didn't understand, she remembered those words. In the future, when she stood above the Nine Heavens, she would tell Master that she still didn't understand. Let's see what he would say then!
Yun Xi was really engrossed in it. What Gao Zhengyang said wasn't complicated, but it was an undeniable truth.
She came to her senses. Reading, drawing, playing the piano, playing chess, she was too distracted in these areas. However, she forgot that martial arts was the right path and everything else was just a method.
Yun Xi looked at Seven with envy. She was really lucky to be able to meet a Master like Gao Zhengyang. She had an urge to become Gao Zhengyang's disciple.
But as soon as he met Gao Zhengyang's deep and distant gaze, the courage that surged in his heart immediately disappeared without a trace. She swallowed the words that were at the tip of her tongue.
But this thought couldn't be extinguished no matter what.
For the rest of the journey, Yun Xi was a little distracted. Until they entered Beijiang City, Yun Xi didn't say much.
This was the first time Seven saw so many people. So many tall and beautiful houses, all sorts of exquisite items. Everything she saw far exceeded her imagination.
The excited Seven felt like her brain couldn't handle it. She just smiled and looked at everything.
Gao Zhengyang distanced himself from Seven. A kid from the mountains saw everything new, so it wasn't embarrassing at all. But Seven was dirty, but she didn't care about hygiene. It had nothing to do with others.
After passing through the busy streets, the bunch of them arrived at an independent house.
The house was located in the depths of a long alley. It was really close to the busy main street, but it was really quiet. There were three entrances and there was a spacious training field at the back. The entire courtyard was clean and tidy. Although it wasn't big, it looked really comfortable.
"Mr. Gao, you and Seven can stay here …"
Yunfei said respectfully, "All sorts of items have been prepared. The chef and maids are all here. If you need anything, just let me know. "
Gao Zhengyang didn't have high expectations for life and nodded his head, "Thank you."
Yunfei heaved a sigh of relief when he saw that Gao Zhengyang didn't have any other requests. Although the residence wasn't big, everything was meticulously prepared.
In order to befriend Gao Zhengyang, the Cloudsword Sect had made thorough preparations. They were rich and powerful, but they couldn't be too extravagant. They also couldn't be too simple. However, it took a lot of effort just to grasp the appropriate amount of time and effort.
Yunfei was about to leave with his men when Yun Xi suddenly said, "Mr. Gao and Seven came from afar and are unfamiliar with the place. It isn't convenient for them to do anything. I'll stay here to entertain them and won't go home … "
"Uh …"
Yunfei's expression changed. If not for Gao Zhengyang being by his side, he would have opened his mouth to curse.
An unmarried girl didn't return home but stayed here to accompany a man. Although it was said that the people of the pugilistic world didn't care about trifles. But that was outside.
Cloud Sword Sect was one of the three major powers in Beijiang City. Yun Xi was the daughter of the sect leader and had a noble status. If this matter was spread, not only would Yun Xi's reputation be tarnished, but their Cloud Sword Sect would also lose face.
But in front of Gao Zhengyang, Yunfei had to endure no matter how angry he was. He muttered to himself and said with difficulty, "You've been away for so long. Mother misses you. You should go home first and come back tomorrow. "
Yunfei said and glared at Yun Xi sternly.
"I'll go back to see mother tomorrow."
Yun Xi said, "But it's too rude to leave a guest here."
Out of Yunfei's expectations, Yun Xi's attitude was actually very firm. This was a little difficult. He looked at Gao Zhengyang for help. As long as he said one word, Yun Xi didn't dare to disobey.
But Gao Zhengyang looked on with a smile and had no intention of interrupting.
Yunfei and Gao Zhengyang trekked in the mountains for more than ten days. Yunfei had some understanding of Gao Zhengyang. This man didn't like to hide his thoughts. He also didn't care to hide it.
If Gao Zhengyang didn't want Yun Xi to stay, he would have spoken now. He didn't say anything because he didn't care about Yun Xi staying.
Thinking of this, Yunfei didn't dare to persuade anymore. He could only warn Yun Xi a few words and tell her not to be rude.
Yun Xi was a little displeased. She didn't know what this brother of hers was thinking. Did he really think she wanted to find a man?! A peerless powerhouse like Gao Zhengyang was not bad to be a master, but it was not very possible to be a man!
Yun Xi suppressed her impatience and sent Yunfei to the door.
Yunfei still warned, "You're a girl, so you have to be careful. Don't be rude and don't let Mr. Gao laugh at you."
"Big brother, what nonsense are you thinking? Mr. Gao's martial arts are peerless and he's like an immortal. I'm just asking him for advice. If I can get a word from him, it might be better than ten years of hard work … "
Yun Xi didn't know if Gao Zhengyang could hear her, but she had to make it clear to Yunfei so that he wouldn't think too much.
Yunfei was also a smart person and understood immediately. He looked worried, "Mr. Gao has to deal with the Six Directional Fist Sect. I'm afraid he doesn't have time to teach you now."
After Jin Laoxi, Jin Hu and the others were killed, the remaining Six Directional Fist Sect disciples scattered and fled back to Beijiang City. Now, everyone in the Six Directional Fist Sect was eager to take revenge for Jin Laoxi.
In Yunfei's opinion, the Six Directional Fist Sect shouldn't be able to fight against Gao Zhengyang. However, the Six Directional Fist Sect still had the Heaven Rising Martial Sage behind them. This was a very important person.
The Ling Tian Sect was one of the top ten sects in the world with millions of disciples. There were dozens of affiliated sects. The Six Directional Fist Sect was one of them.
The Ling Tian Martial Saint might not care about the life and death of the Six Directional Fist Sect, but he had to take care of his face. No one knew how the conflict between Gao Zhengyang and the Six Directional Fist Sect would turn out in the end.
There was no problem in befriending Gao Zhengyang, but before the situation was clear, it was not good to be too close to Gao Zhengyang.
The reason behind this was very complicated, but Yunfei believed that his sister was still very smart and could understand his worries.
Yun Xi shook her head and said decisively, "This opportunity can't be missed, it won't come again."
Of course, it was safe to make a decision after there was an outcome. But it would also lose the opportunity to gain trust. Making a choice at this time could make Gao Zhengyang look up to him.
This logic was very simple, and Yunfei naturally understood it. But he didn't want to take the risk.
However, letting Yun Xi stay here was also good. At least she could gain Gao Zhengyang's trust and friendship. Maybe the entire Cloud Sword Sect would soar because of this.
If the situation was really bad, he could only give up on Yun Xi. Since she wanted to take the risk and profit, she had to be prepared to bear the consequences.
After waiting for Yunfei to leave, Yun Xi took a deep breath at the door and calmed her emotions before walking in.
