The breeze caressed the willows, and the sun shone brightly. It was the best time of spring!
Ye Xuan was dressed in a white robe. He held a paper fan in one hand and placed his other hand behind his back. Behind him were two servants who were wearing felt hats. He looked like a rich young master going on a trip.
Zhangzhou was located along the coast of Fujian, and it belonged to the southern part of the Lingnan region. Although there was a prefecture, it was not very prosperous. Beggars could be seen on the streets from time to time. Perhaps it was because this place was remote, but it was rare to see people from the pugilistic world crossing the street with swords and sabers on TV. Even if there were, they were just passing by. This made Ye Xuan, who wanted to see real martial arts, a little disappointed.
After wandering around in the city for a long time, it was not a big deal for Ye Xuan with his physique. He did not even breathe heavily. However, the two servants behind him had a hard time. They had already lifted the lapels in front of their chests, and they were sweating profusely. They looked like they were going to faint at any time.
Looking at the two servants behind him, Ye Xuan did not want to make things difficult for them. He saw a restaurant not far away, so he strode in.
When the two servants behind him saw that Ye Xuan finally wanted to rest after walking for a long time, they looked at each other and saw the joy in each other's eyes. They quickly followed him.
Since it was almost noon, there were many people eating, so it looked a little noisy downstairs.
"Sir, please come in! Would you like to eat or stay? " When the waiter saw the clothes that Ye Xuan was wearing, his eyes lit up. He knew that a customer was here, so he quickly came to welcome him.
"Help them find a table downstairs and get some clean food. As for me, is there a table upstairs?" Seeing that the waiter had followed him for the whole morning, Ye Xuan pointed at the two servants behind him and asked the waiter to arrange the food. Then, he looked upstairs and asked, "Yes, yes.
There are private rooms upstairs. Please, please! "Upon hearing Ye Xuan's request, the waiter quickly smiled and bowed to lead the way. The waiter hurriedly bowed and led the way with a smile.
The two servants stayed downstairs to eat while Ye Xuan followed the waiter to the second floor. Unlike the noise on the first floor, the environment on the second floor was quieter. Although almost half of the twenty-odd tables were occupied, it was much quieter. Even if they spoke, their voices would automatically slow down.
Ye Xuan asked the waiter to help him find a seat by the window. He threw a piece of silver to the waiter and asked him to bring up a few dishes and wine. He listened to the conversations of the customers in the restaurant while admiring the beautiful scenery downstairs.
In ancient times, if one wanted to obtain information, they would go to places of all trades, such as brothels, brothels, brothels, and brothels. These places were a mix of good and bad people, so information was naturally well-informed. Of course, this was the exception. There was another place where the news spread quickly, and that was the restaurant and the inn where they ate.
While eating and drinking, Ye Xuan listened to the conversations of the guests. Ye Xuan had a rough idea of what was going on.
Perhaps this place was really remote. From the conversations of the guests, Ye Xuan could hear the news of the pugilistic world, such as the big sects of the Central Plains, Wushan, Shaolin, Emei, Five Mountain Sword Sects, and so on. At most, he heard about the famous Fu Wei Escort Agency in Fujian. That's right, it was Lin Pingzhi's Fu Wei Escort Agency in Fujian. The latest news was that three months ago, Fu Wei Escort Agency received a huge order of 30,000 taels of silver. As for the news of the big sects, it was at least a few months ago when the eldest disciple of the Huashan Sect, Linghu Chong, kicked two of the so-called "Four Heroic Talents" of the Qingcheng Sect out of the restaurant, putting on a good show. The pugilistic world was temporarily peaceful.
However, this news was not in vain. At least when he heard about the Fu Wei Escort Agency, Ye Xuan thought of a secret manual that could be easily obtained. In the past, Lin Yuantu used the 72 Styles of Bixie Swordplay to become invincible in the pugilistic world. With this martial prowess, the level of this Bixie Swordplay should not be considered low.
After sitting in the restaurant for more than two hours and hearing no other valuable news, Ye Xuan opened the folding fan in his hand and waved it gently. Like an ordinary rich young master, he led the two servants back to the Ye Mansion.
As soon as he returned to the mansion, the two manservants behind him heaved a sigh of relief. As if they had been granted amnesty, they left after making a promise to Ye Xuan. Presumably, after this experience, the two manservants would have a deep impression of this trip.
"Eldest Young Master, Eldest Young Master …" Along the way, the servants in the mansion would bow and greet Ye Xuan when they saw him. This made Ye Xuan feel awkward for a while.
"Hey! Hey! Hey! — — "
"Good, good, Second Brother, good job! … "
Suddenly, a shout came from the courtyard. Ye Xuan's footsteps paused and he turned around to walk towards the source of the shout.
After crossing a courtyard and entering the Moon Courtyard, what entered his eyes was a ten meter square training platform. On the side of the platform, there were sabers, swords, staves, and eighteen other martial arts. On the platform, Ye Nian was bare-chested and constantly shouting. His body moved and his expression was one of concentration as he practiced a set of fist techniques. On the side of the platform stood the younger sister of this body, Ye Huan. Right now, she was watching Ye Nian practice the fist technique. Her little face was red and her expression was excited. Her little mouth could not stop clapping for her second brother.
This set of fist techniques was like a tiger or a lion. Clearly, it walked the path of ferocity. Every time Ye Nian punched, there was a gust of wind that followed, causing the air to howl. From the outside, it looked very impressive.
However, in Ye Xuan's eyes, this set of fist techniques was more than ferocious, but not as agile. If he were to face him, Ye Xuan would only need one move and he would be able to easily defeat Ye Nian with one punch. He just didn't know if this cheap second brother of his was not skilled enough or if the Five Tiger Sect's fist techniques were only at this level.
"Eh, Big Brother? Big Brother! " Ye Huan, who was clapping at the side, suddenly saw Ye Xuan walk in. She let out a cry of surprise and happily stood at the side of the platform, waving at Ye Xuan to get his attention. Then, she happily ran over.
"Big Brother, why did you come to Second Brother's place today?" Ye Huan asked suspiciously as she panted. She knew that her eldest brother was usually a bookworm and looked down on her second brother, a martial artist. In private, he even said that her second brother only learned martial arts because he was a vulgar martial artist.
Seeing Ye Huan's blushing face and smiling face, Ye Xuan suddenly felt that this little sister of his was a rare beauty. He smiled slightly and said warmly, "When I was passing by, I heard the voices of you and Second Brother, so I came to take a look. What, can't Big Brother come?"
"Of course he can. It's just that Big Brother didn't like Second Brother practicing martial arts in the past, so he never came." Ye Huan's mouth twitched. Clearly, she was unhappy that Ye Xuan looked down on Ye Nian practicing martial arts.
"Haha!" Seeing Ye Huan's puffed up appearance, Ye Xuan smiled and shook his head.
"Big Brother!" Ye Nian, who was practicing martial arts at the side, saw Ye Huan suddenly run over and then saw Ye Xuan appear in the courtyard where he was practicing martial arts. A trace of surprise flashed across his eyes. He immediately stopped practicing and walked over.
"Yes!" Ye Xuan nodded and suddenly looked at Ye Nian. "Second Brother, I have a presumptuous request."
"Oh, please say it, Big Brother!" Ye Nian was a bit surprised and flattered by Ye Xuan's sudden "presumptuous request."
In his impression, his big brother was a very virtuous scholar. Although he looked down on his martial arts, Ye Nian still respected him very much. The reason the Ye Clan had such a status in the Zhangzhou Prefecture was all because of his scholarly genius big brother. Otherwise, his family would only be an ordinary wealthy family.
"I wonder if Second Brother has the martial arts manual that you just practiced? If you do, can you let me take a look?" Ye Xuan asked with a smile.
"Ah?!" Hearing Ye Xuan's words, Ye Nian and Ye Huan couldn't help but exclaim in surprise. Both pairs of eyes swept over their big brother and couldn't help but wonder if Big Brother was possessed.
"Big Brother, wait a moment. I'll bring it to you immediately!" Ye Nian immediately returned to his senses. Seeing that his big brother wasn't possessed or joking, he was overjoyed and immediately ran to his room.
"Big Brother, don't tell me you've contracted the Wind Demon?" Ye Huan still didn't believe it. As she spoke, she reached out her small hand to touch Ye Xuan's head.
"Nonsense. I, your big brother, am sober. Since when did you see me suffering from the Wind Evil?" Seeing Ye Huan's outstretched hand, Ye Xuan did not know whether to laugh or cry.
"Big Brother, please take a look!" Not long later, Ye Nian ran out of the room with a yellow thread-bound book in his hand. The words "Five Tiger Fists" were written on it.
"Okay, thank you, Second Brother!" Seeing the Five Tiger Fists book in Ye Nian's hand, Ye Xuan smiled and reached out to take it.
