The entire Drill Ground was in a state of mutual hostility. The surrounding officers and soldiers were ready to arrest the two at any moment.
"Hahaha!!! Brother, you're really good at martial arts. I really admire you! " All of a sudden, Nalan Yuanshu, who had been staring at Ye Xuan, burst into laughter. He flexed his slightly injured arm and waved his hand to dismiss the soldiers surrounding him. Then he cupped his hands together and said with a smile.
As Nalan Yuanshu laughed, the frozen scene instantly returned to normal. Ye Xuan casually threw the long rod in his hand aside and cupped his hands in obeisance. "I wouldn't dare, I wouldn't dare. Your Excellency's martial arts are superb. If you hadn't gone easy on me, I wouldn't have been able to defeat you by luck."
Nalan Yuanshu still wore a smile on his face when he heard Ye Xuan's words, but he was extremely depressed. He hadn't gone easy on Ye Xuan and had used all his strength. However, Ye Xuan had defeated him in less than five moves. What was more terrifying was that Ye Xuan hadn't even moved his feet from the beginning.
Nalan Yuanshu had originally thought that although his martial arts skills weren't top-notch, he could be considered an expert. He hadn't expected to meet such an expert today. He couldn't help feeling angry and depressed. If not for the fact that he didn't have the confidence to keep them here, he would have ordered for them to be arrested. Did they really think that beating up an official of the imperial court could get them off the hook so easily?
"You flatter me, you flatter me!" Nalan Yuanshu's expression became much better when he saw that Ye Xuan had defeated him calmly and had given him enough face. He then looked at Huang Fei-hung, cupped his hands in obeisance, and said, "You must be Master Huang. I was itching for a fight just now, so I exchanged a few moves with you. Sorry for my lack of manners! "
"Your Excellency, please don't laugh at me! My disciple acted rashly just now. Please don't take it to heart, Your Excellency! " Nalan Yuanshu clearly saw a satisfied expression on Huang Fei-hung's face when he said the word "disciple". He didn't seem to be dissatisfied with the word "disciple" at all.
"It turns out that you're Master Huang's disciple. Indeed, a famous teacher produces a brilliant disciple. Master Huang is indeed worthy of being the Chief Instructor of the Militia. Your martial arts skills are truly admirable! " Nalan Yuanshu had some doubts in his heart when he said this. Could it be that Huang Fei-hung's martial arts were so powerful that even his disciple was so powerful? Wouldn't he be even more powerful?
"You flatter me, Sir!" Huang Fei-hung cupped his fists in embarrassment.
Nalan Yuanshu smiled and didn't say anything else. He glanced at Ye Xuan, who was silently following behind Huang Fei-hung, and changed the topic, "May I know why Master Huang is looking for me this time?"
Huang Fei-hung's face turned solemn when he saw that they were getting into the main topic. He then told them about the incident at the Tongwen Library and said that he wanted the students of the Tongwen Library to seek refuge at the yamen.
After hearing Huang Fei-hung's words, Nalan Yuanshu sighed and said, "Master Huang, you should have seen the security situation at the yamen when you came in. The guards outside are merely a diversion tactic against the White Lotus Society. We've sent all the people in the yamen to protect places with foreigners. This place may not be safer than the outside. If the students come in, the White Lotus Society's disciples will take the opportunity to cause trouble. "
Nalan Yuanshu's meaning was very clear. He had no intention of accepting the students of the Tongwen Library.
"Sir …"
Huang Fei-hung wanted to say something else, but Nalan Yuanshu interrupted him, "That's right. The commoners are the officials' bread and butter. However, at this time, even with my martial arts skills, I can't do it alone. Sigh! "
Nalan Yuanshu sighed. The corners of Ye Xuan's mouth twitched slightly. You can't even protect your own commoners, yet you still act like you're worried about the country and its people. What a joke.
Although Ye Xuan had already prepared him for Nalan Yuanshu's words, he was still a little disappointed. However, he didn't force the issue. He said to Nalan Yuanshu, "In that case, may I ask if the yamen has the household registers of these students?"
"Why do you want their household registers, Master Huang?" Nalan Yuanshu asked curiously.
"Since the provincial capital is in such a mess, I want to bring them back to Foshan to take care of them. Once I know their household registers, I can write a letter to their parents to bring them home," Huang Fei-hung said.
"I see. Huang Fei-hung is so chivalrous and courageous. I admire you very much!" When Nalan Yuanshu heard Huang Fei-hung's words, he cupped his fists at Huang Fei-hung in admiration. Then, he said to the bailiffs behind him, "Come!"
"Sir?" One of the bailiffs walked up to Nalan Yuanshu and bowed respectfully.
"Bring Master Huang and the others to make a copy of the household registers of the Tongwen Library's students!" Nalan Yuanshu ordered.
"Yes, Sir!" The bailiffs turned to Huang Fei-hung and said, "Master Huang, please follow me!"
"Thank you, Sir!" Huang Fei-hung said to Nalan Yuanshu.
"This is what I should do. Master Huang, please!" Nalan Yuanshu gestured for them to leave.
"Please!" Huang Fei-hung cupped his fists at Nalan Yuanshu. Then, he and Ye Xuan followed the bailiffs to copy the household registers of the Tongwen Library's students.
The two followed the bailiffs to the back of the government office to copy the household registers of the Tongwen Library's students. With Nalan Yuanshu's order and the famous Huang Fei-hung's request, the bailiffs didn't dare to make things difficult for them like ordinary people. They easily copied the household registers of the Tongwen Library's students.
"Ah Hsuan, I didn't expect your martial arts to become so powerful after not seeing you for ten years. I'm afraid even Master is no match for you now." After the two copied the household registers, they walked out of the government office. As they walked in the direction of Nature House, Huang Fei-hung looked at Ye Xuan and sighed.
"This disciple doesn't dare!" Ye Xuan still respected Huang Fei-hung. He was Ye Xuan's only true teacher so far. If it weren't for Huang Fei-hung forsaking sectarian bias and accepting him as his disciple in the first movie, he would have lost the system when he failed the first mission and wouldn't be who he was now.
Seeing that Ye Xuan still respected him, Huang Fei-hung was full of comfort. He waved his hand and smiled. "You don't have to be like this. As the saying goes, the master leads the way, but the cultivation depends on the individual. Ah Hsuan, you can achieve what you have today because of your own hard work. I'm just leading you on the path. "
The two talked as they walked back to the inn. When they were about to reach Nature House, they suddenly saw that the front of Nature House was surrounded by people.
Huang Fei-hung and Ye Xuan looked at each other and saw the bad look in each other's eyes. They quickly squeezed through the crowd and walked in.
They saw that the originally clean and tidy Nature House had now become dilapidated. The tables and chairs were all overturned, and there were talismans everywhere with the words "Supporting the Pure and Destroying the Seas" written on them. The tea house in front was also chopped down.
"What happened here, Boss Mag?" Huang Fei-hung quickly ran over and asked when he saw Boss Mag sitting at the side with a bitter look on his face.
When Boss Mag saw Huang Fei-hung, it was as if he had seen his savior. He grabbed Huang Fei-hung and cried, "Master Huang, bad news. The White Lotus Society has captured all your people!"
