Although Little Crane Grass was wearing an ordinary green robe, the attitude of the people on the ship towards him was completely different. All the boatmen knew that Little Crane Grass was Hu Yuan's disciple. These boatmen were very clear about the status of the Hu Clan. They were all children of the Hu Clan. In this case, the boatmen's attitude towards Little Crane Grass was very good.
Speaking of the captain of this ship, Little Crane Grass was very familiar with it. It was none other than Hu Quan. Hu Quan was still the captain of the Hu Clan. He was still driving the same ship as before. But now, there was no one else on the ship, only Little Crane Grass was present. From this point, one could see Little Crane Grass's status in the Hu Clan.
Of course, this was only on the surface. In fact, Little Crane Grass wasn't the only one on the ship. There was also another person from the Hu Clan, Hu Xin.
Hu Xin was a youngster from the Hu Clan's side branch. Little Crane Grass had seen him when she first entered the Hu Clan. At that time, he was still guarding one of the two towering trees in the valley, the one inside the castle. There was another youngster called Hu Hai with him. The two of them were not on a clan mission at that time.
Now that Hu Xin had finished his apprenticeship, he could be considered an official Combat Plant Master of the Hu Clan. This time, he received a family mission, and that was to secretly protect Little Crane Grass. Hu Xin knew about Little Crane Grass.
In the past, Hu Xian 'er valued Little Crane Grass very much. Later on, Little Crane Grass became Hu Yuan's disciple. Although Little Crane Grass didn't seem to be learning Natural Energy, Hu Xin knew that it wasn't because Hu Yuan didn't want to teach him. It was because of Little Crane Grass's safety that he didn't teach him. From this point, one could see Little Crane Grass's status in Hu Yuan's heart. With Little Crane Grass's current status, even Hu Xin would have to be polite to him. Because of this, Hu Xin didn't dare to neglect him. The family wanted him to secretly protect Little Crane Grass, so he didn't dare to appear in Little Crane Grass's line of sight.
Although Little Crane Grass felt that there was someone else on the ship, he didn't think too much about it. After all, this was the Hu Clan's passenger ship. It was specially made for the core members of the Hu Clan, so it was normal for there to be someone else on the ship.
After Little Crane Grass boarded the ship, it was the same as when he went to the Hu Clan. Every day, he would stay in the cabin to read books or practice for a while. He carried a wooden saber with him. This wooden saber was given to him by Hu Yuan. On the surface, it looked like an ordinary wooden saber, but in fact, this wooden saber was made from ten-thousand-year-old iron birch wood. Not only was it harder than steel, but it was also very heavy. Little Crane Grass had been using this saber to refine his saber for nearly a year. Although this saber wasn't long, it was no different from an ordinary steel saber. The appearance of this saber was very deceptive.
When Little Crane Grass was practicing his saber art on the ship, Hu Xin also noticed it. When he saw Little Crane Grass's saber art, he was really surprised. Little Crane Grass's saber art didn't look very exquisite, but he used it very skillfully. He really hadn't seen someone who could practice basic saber art to this level.
After practicing his saber art, Little Crane Grass practiced his fists and legs for a while. Little Crane Grass didn't have a long time to practice his fists and legs, but he still practiced it quite well.
It took about fifteen days to travel from Lingshan City to Juyun City. This time, Little Crane Grass was going against the current, so it took a little longer.
Moreover, the Hu Clan's ship wasn't an ordinary ship. There was a water wheel below the ship. This water wheel was designed so that as long as a handle was shaken under the cabin, the ship could move forward. When they sent Little Crane Grass to the Hu Clan, they encountered Liu Ying's attack. At that time, they used this water wheel, but that was only to stabilize the ship. This time, they had to make the ship move forward.
In order to sail against the current, in addition to controlling the direction of the wind, the ship must have its own power source. There were many ships with large oars on top of them. However, a hand-operated paddle steamer like the one the Hu Family was using was very rare among the large ships. It belonged to a relatively advanced type of inland ship.
The Hu Family's hand-cranked watercraft was made up of a lot of gears. When it was being cranked, it didn't require a lot of strength. If a person were to keep cranking it, then they wouldn't feel tired. Moreover, it was impossible for a person to keep cranking it. Additionally, the watercraft was hidden in the water, and the speed of the boat was very fast. Because of this, although the boat was going against the current, its speed wasn't very slow.
About twenty days later, the ship arrived at Juyun City. Naturally, Little Crane Grass's destination wasn't Juyun City, but he wanted to stop here because he wanted to see the old man.
The old man was a member of the Liu Clan, and the Liu Clan was a big clan in Juyun City. In the past few years, Little Crane Grass and the old man had been exchanging letters. The old man was now one of the stewards of the Liu Clan. He belonged to the core of the Liu Clan's power and was even more glorious than before.
This was partly because of the old man's ability, but also partly because of Little Crane Grass. The old man was Little Crane Grass's god-grandfather. Little Crane Grass had now entered the Hu Clan and became a disciple of the Hu Clan's most famous elder. With this relationship, the Liu Clan could establish a relationship with the Hu Clan. In this case, the old man's status in the Liu Clan was naturally higher.
When the Hu Clan's ship arrived at Juyun City, it directly entered the Liu Clan's pier. This was already agreed upon. Little Crane Grass stood on the ship and looked at the Liu Clan's pier. He couldn't help but think about the situation when he first arrived at Juyun City. At that time, he came on a cargo ship. The cargo ship was attacked in the Wu Ling River and almost sank. At that time, the old man came to pick him up at the pier. Little Crane Grass also came with the little girl Yu 'er. He didn't know how she was doing now.
The ship slowly approached the pier. Little Crane Grass looked at the pier and saw that there were a lot of people there. He saw an old figure from afar. When he saw this figure, Little Crane Grass's eyes couldn't help but become moist. This was because this figure was the old man.
When the ship was docked, a gangplank was lowered from the ship. Little Crane Grass walked down from the ship while Hu Quan followed beside Little Crane Grass like a servant.
In fact, Little Crane Grass was very respectful towards Hu Quan. This was because Hu Quan was a child of the Hu Clan. He was very trusted by the clan. Even a core member like Hu Xian 'er had to call him Elder Brother Quan. Naturally, Little Crane Grass wouldn't put on airs in front of Hu Quan. Just like before, he called Hu Quan Uncle Quan.
However, Hu Quan was very polite to the Little Crane Grass. Hu Quan's status was higher than the other boatmen on the ship. Naturally, he had a better understanding of the Hu Clan. He was very clear about the status of the Little Crane Grass in the clan. Although the Little Crane Grass didn't show himself in the past two years, Hu Quan knew that as long as the Little Crane Grass came out, he would immediately become a core member of the Hu Clan. This was because the Hu Clan had been cultivating the Little Crane Grass in accordance with the standards of a core member. Nobody knew this better than Hu Quan. Naturally, he didn't dare to be arrogant in front of the Little Crane Grass.
As soon as Little Crane Grass walked down the pier, an old man came up to greet her. When Little Crane Grass saw this old man, she immediately rushed over and hugged the old man. "Grandpa Men, I missed you so much."
The old man gently patted Little Crane Grass's back and said, "Bao 'er, be good. Don't cry. You're already a young man, don't cry." Little Crane Grass nodded in the old man's embrace, but his tears couldn't stop flowing.
After some time, Little Crane Grass calmed down. He let go of the old man and carefully looked at him. Seeing that the old man's complexion was very good, he nodded and said, "Grandpa, how have you been in the past two years? Bao 'er really missed you. "
The old man's face was filled with a smile, he smiled and said, "Grandpa is very good. Grandpa also missed you. Right, take a look at who this is. Do you know him?" Then he turned his head and pointed at the two young men behind him.
When Little Crane Grass saw the two people, he couldn't help but stare. Then he couldn't help but smile and said, "Seventh Young Master, I didn't expect you to be at home. Is Seventh Young Master not studying at the Saber Sovereign Pavilion? "
When Liu Renli saw Little Crane Grass being so polite to him, he couldn't help but laugh and said, "Little Crane Grass, you're back. How could I not come to pick you up? You don't know, but Big Brother has been studying at the Saber Sovereign Pavilion for several years now. I'm about to graduate and go home. I just wanted to familiarize myself with the situation in the clan.
In the past, Liu Renli and Little Crane Grass were very familiar with each other. Now, Liu Renli was even more affectionate. After two years of studying, Little Crane Grass understood a lot of things. He knew that Liu Renli was being polite to him not only because they were familiar with each other, but also because of his identity as Hu Yuan's disciple.
However, Little Crane Grass didn't have any resentment. He had a good impression of Liu Renli, so he smiled and said, "So that's how it is. In the past few years, Big Sister Xian 'er and I have been writing to each other. She also mentioned you. I heard that Seventh Young Master is quite famous in the Saber Sovereign Pavilion. The Lightning Saber is very famous."
Liu Renli smiled and said, "I didn't expect Miss Xian 'er to mention me. This is my honor. But Lightning Saber is just an empty title. Little Crane Grass, you don't have to call me Seventh Young Master. If you think highly of me, you can call me Big Brother. How about it?"
Little Crane Grass had often gone out to see patients in the past few years and got along well with Hu Ding. Naturally, he also learned how to deal with people. So when he heard Liu Renli's words, he smiled and said, "Deference is no substitute for obedience. Then I'll call you Big Brother Renli. Big Brother Renli, I came to Juyun City this time just to see Grandfather. Big Brother, you're too polite."
When Liu Renli heard Little Crane Grass calling him Big Brother Renli, his face immediately lit up with joy as he said, "Of course. Since you're here to see Uncle Renli, as your Big Brother, I have to take good care of you. Little Brother, how about you stay here for a few days?"
When Little Crane Grass heard this, he couldn't help but feel awkward as he said, "I'm afraid I don't have much time. Master gave me a leave to visit my family. After I go back, I'll have to start cultivating. Therefore, I can't stay here for too long. I can only stay for two days. Big Brother Renli, please forgive me."
When Liu Renli heard Little Crane Grass, his eyes couldn't help but light up. He knew that Little Crane Grass wasn't even ten years old yet. At this time, the Hu Clan wanted him to start cultivating. It can be seen that his talent had moved the Hu Clan. Liu Renli immediately said, "Cultivation is more important. When Little Brother's cultivation reaches a certain level, you can stay with the Liu Clan for a few days. May I know who this is?" Then Liu Renli looked at Hu Quan who was standing beside Little Crane Grass. Liu Renli recognized Hu Quan's clothes and knew that he was from the Hu Clan. However, he didn't know who Hu Quan was.
Hu Quan immediately bowed to Liu Renli and said, "Hu Quan greets Young Master Liu. I'm the captain of the Hu Clan's Grassy Ship. This time, I was ordered to send Young Master Crane Grass home. On this journey, Hu Quan wasn't Young Master Crane Grass' servant."
When they heard Hu Quan, Liu Renli and the Old Man's hearts shook. Although they hadn't heard of Hu Quan's name, they had heard of the Grassy Ship. The Grassy Ship was one of the Hu Clan's important ships. Only the core members of the clan could ride it. Now that it was sent out to send Little Crane Grass back home, it can be seen how much importance the Hu Clan placed on Little Crane Grass. The Hu Clan was already nurturing Little Crane Grass as a core member!
After thinking about this, Liu Renli didn't dare to be negligent. He immediately cupped his fist and said, "Then I'll have to trouble Brother Hu. Please take good care of Little Crane Grass."
Hu Quan cupped his fist and said, "I don't dare accept Young Master Liu's courtesy. This is Hu Quan's job." After he said that, he didn't say anything and just quietly stood behind Little Crane Grass. It was clear that he had a good grasp of his status.
At this time, the Old Man opened his mouth and said, "Seventh Young Master, let's go back home and talk. It's inconvenient to stand here at the pier. We can't delay the work here." At this time, only he would dare to say such words. After all, Little Crane Grass's status was the highest among the people here. Moreover, he was Little Crane Grass's god-grandfather. No one would have any objections if he said such words.
Little Crane Grass smiled and said, "Right. Big Brother Renli, I'll also go to the Liu Clan to pay a visit to Uncle Liu. I heard from Grandpa Men that Uncle Liu has helped the village a lot over the years. Little Crane Grass must thank Uncle Liu in person."
Hearing Little Crane Grass's words, Liu Renli's heart blossomed with joy. He was really happy about his decision, so he immediately said, "Little Crane Grass, you're too polite. There's no need to thank me. You and I are brothers, so it's only right for me to take care of Uncle and the others. However, it's not good to keep talking here. Little Brother, let's talk when we get home. We've already prepared dinner and are waiting for you.
Little Crane Grass didn't stand on ceremony. Before he left, Hu Ding told him that he was representing the Hu Clan this time, so he had to be careful when he spoke and did things. He also told Little Crane Grass some things that he should pay attention to and taught Little Crane Grass how to deal with this kind of situation. That was why Little Crane Grass behaved like this.
Liu Renli didn't ride a horse today. Instead, he sat in the carriage with Little Crane Grass along with the Old Man. After getting on the carriage, Liu Renli gave the main seat to Little Crane Grass. He and the Old Man sat on the left and right side of the carriage. Little Crane Grass didn't let the Old Man sit in the main seat. In any case, the Old Man was a member of the Liu Clan. If he sat in the main seat, it would only make things difficult for him.
