After that, Lou Cheng went to Dinghai Sect and Hanchi Sect. Unsurprisingly, he didn't see Clown Gu Jianxi. As for the younger generation, they were slightly weaker than Hai Ximen, so none of them impulsively came out to challenge him.
After returning to Yanbing Mountain, he reported everything to Martial Uncle Sect Leader He Yi.
"The young people of these sects are very calm." He Yi shook his head and smiled. "That's a good thing. You've messed up the internal situation of the Wuyue Club and stimulated everyone to work harder."
What he meant was that Zheng Yu, Lei Fang, Qian Qiyue, and the others had all entered the sect when they were in their teens. Their peers had watched them grow day by day and had long been used to falling behind. They had also slowly become arrogant. It was only when Lou Cheng descended from the heavens and entered this situation that they broke the inherent understanding and stirred up various emotions among the disciples.
"Well, Uncle Master knows about the catfish effect …" Lou Cheng didn't continue the conversation. He left and went down the mountain with his master and returned to Shi Yuejian's villa.
At this point, Geezer Shi took out a visualization diagram. There was a fiery red and unusually heavy sun on it. With just a glance, Lou Cheng felt the heat flow that symbolized the Power of Blaze in his body surging, being absorbed, and being compressed!
"'Internal Explosion' is harder to master than 'Severe Warning'. First, you have to visualize this' Red Sun 'and then control it with the' Zhurong Diagram '. Then, you have to coordinate the strength of your attacks … You have to be very careful when you practice. It's not a fun thing to have an explosion in your body …" Geezer Shi rarely explained in such detail. "When you've fully mastered it, I'll teach you the tenth and eleventh moves of the Ice Sect, which are simplified physical invulnerability moves. Of course, it'll take half a year."
"Okay!" Lou Cheng took the Red Sun Diagram happily.
Seeing this, Geezer Shi said, "Don't be so careful. Just do it casually. If it's lost or broken, it's their fault!"
"I'm not such a stingy person …" Lou Cheng's mouth twitched a little.
It's no fun to vent your anger on an object!
Mo Jingting, Zhu Tai, and Lei Fang didn't invite him because they had to go back home for the New Year. On the third day, Lou Cheng said goodbye to his master and family and started his journey back to Xiushan.
The next day, Yan Zheke and his parents flew to Jiangnan Province to celebrate the New Year with the Ji family.
…
Jiangnan Province, the Ji family's ancestral home, at a family banquet.
Yan Zheke, who was well-liked by the elders and was constantly asked about her well-being, glanced at her grandfather Ji Jianzhang and her grandmother Dou Ning. She plucked up her courage and pretended that nothing had happened.
"Grandpa, someone from our Martial Arts Club has mastered the 'Swordsman' Formula, 'Army' Formula, and 'Forwarding' Formula of the Nine Words Formula."
She wanted to use this to open up the topic and gradually lead to the related content of Shushan Study's Nine Words Formula. The reason why she said it in front of everyone was to appear calm and to appear as if it was just a casual mention, so as not to arouse the suspicion of the old man.
As soon as her voice fell, she felt the Empress Dowager put down her chopsticks and looked up, sizing her up with a smile that was not a smile.
It made me feel a little guilty!
Ji Jianzhang's hair was thick and black, except for some gray hair on his temples. His face was lean, and he had an otherworldly aura. Hearing this, he tapped his chopsticks and said with a smile, "I know, Lou Cheng."
Puff! Yan Zheke almost choked on her own saliva.
Grandpa actually knew Cheng!
Did I overreach myself?
Realizing that she had lost her composure, she took the opportunity to pretend to be surprised. "Grandpa, you've been following our competition?"
As she spoke, she found the Empress Dowager's smile turned wider, full of gloating. Beside her, her cousin Lin Que also had a slight smile on his face.
Humph, brother, what happened to being cold and reticent and silent?
How dare you laugh at me!
Under the confused gazes of Yan Kai, Ji Lingxi, and the others, Ji Jianzhang shook his head with a smile and said, "This young man has become very famous recently. When I go back to the sect, there are always people talking about him in my ear, saying that he is a genius who can stand shoulder to shoulder with Peng Leyun. As for your competition, with you and your brother there, I will occasionally watch."
The headquarters of Shushan Study was in Jiazhou. As a native of Jiangnan Province, Ji Jianzhang had been sent here to guard the eastern base for decades.
Phew … Yan Zheke quietly breathed a sigh of relief. Just as she was about to speak, she heard her grandma Dou Ning ask with a smile, "I also hear Lou Cheng's name from time to time. You and your brother are both members of Songcheng University Martial Arts Club. What do you think of him?"
Dou Ning looked to be in her forties. Her hair was tied up in a bun, and her temperament was graceful. Her facial features were somewhat similar to Ji Mingyu and Yan Zheke's. But when she looked around, she really had the divine light of lightning. She had the demeanor of a master.
"Granny, why do you ask?" Yan Zheke blinked her eyes and acted cute.
How can I answer this? How embarrassing would it be if I praised him so much!
Because she had to travel between Jiangnan and Xiushan when she was young, and there were several northerners in her family, she was confused with the way she addressed her elders. She no longer used the combination of Grandpa and Grandma, but Grandpa and Grandma. When she started studying, it had become a habit and she was too lazy to change it.
"I'm just asking. Is it hard to answer? Just say what you want to say. "Dou Ning said with interest," You two, tell me. "
She was looking at Lin Que and Yan Zheke, not including Ji Lingxi and Ji Deyan.
Feeling Empress Dowager's gloating gaze and her father's interested gaze, Yan Zheke looked up and tried not to look so gentle and sweet. She pursed her lips and said with a smile, "He's a very talented and hardworking person. Well, he's also very nice."
Very, very nice …
At this moment, Lin Que spoke up in a timely manner, attracting everyone's attention.
"Very good, very good."
His words were concise and comprehensive, but it made everyone more curious about Lou Cheng.
When did our Ice Prince praise other martial artists of the same generation like this?
Yan Zheke listened with gratitude and pride. She was proud that her cousin had such a high opinion of Cheng, and grateful that he helped to divert the attention of her relatives.
"Not bad. It's good to have such a teammate, just like the Dragon King and the Warrior Sage. Only by encouraging and chasing each other can we achieve our current achievements." Ji Jianzhang nodded with satisfaction. "Que 'er, over the past year, thanks to this, you've improved faster than I expected. Now you have the strength of a Professional Seventh Pin, and there are signs of the genetic mutation of your root pulp. Practice hard, but don't be impatient. Being slow doesn't mean you can't go far."
After seeing Lin Que nod slightly, he turned to look at his favorite granddaughter and said,
"Ke, why did you mention Lou Cheng?"
Puff … Yan Zheke almost choked on her own wine. She quickly replied, "Grandpa, I didn't want to mention Lou Cheng. My focus is on the Nine Words Formula, the Nine Words Formula ~! Didn't Shushan Study collect many things related to the Nine Words Formula? Why haven't I seen anyone master it? "
Ji Jianzhang rubbed the wine glass and sighed. "Since the Nine Words Formula flourished until now, there have been too many wars. Many ancient books and objects have been seriously damaged. The illustrations of the Nine Words Formula in the sect have long lost their essence and charm. Only the ancient sounds and seals are relatively complete."
"What a pity." Yan Zheke sighed from the bottom of her heart.
"Yes, but we don't feel inferior to the ancients. If the seniors can create the Nine Words Formula, can't we restore it? In recent generations, there have been people in the sect trying to figure out the meaning of the words based on the sounds, body, and ancient books. "Ji Jianzhang's tone was calm, but it contained a sense of ambition.
Under the curious gazes of the crowd, Yan Zheke asked with concern, "Have they made any progress?"
"I'm not sure about that. I'm not in charge." Ji Jianzhang smiled. "It seems that the key is still missing."
"Grandpa, can I have a look at the notes?" Yan Zheke asked tentatively.
Ji Jianzhang thought for a moment and said, "If there is no substantial progress in the reverse analysis, it's okay to let you have a look. But if it's close to success, you can only look at the notes of the predecessors. Haha, maybe you'll have a flash of inspiration and come up with something by chance, right?"
"Yes, yes!" Yan Zheke answered happily.
If she could show it to herself, it wouldn't be a secret of the sect. It would be fine as long as it wasn't leaked.
But if she showed it to Cheng, would it be leaked?
Maybe Cheng really figured out something, and she could make a contribution to the sect!
In her excitement, she glanced at her mother, Ji Mingyu, from the corner of her eye. She saw the Empress Dowager's "disdainful" expression.
