Now that Xue Xin had become the disciple of Teng Qingshan, he naturally didn't need to be an escort anymore. After leaving a letter, Xue Xin and Teng Qingshan left the Chang Sheng Escort Agency quietly.
… …
In the Jing Residence, a luxurious residence that Teng Qingshan had just bought in Wuan County City. In the study room of the inner court:
"From today onwards, you will live with me." Teng Qingshan lit a candle and turned to sit down. He smiled at Xue Xin, who was carrying a bundle on his back, and said, "Xue Xin, sit down first. Tell me about the enmity between you and Qing Hu Island."
"Yes, Teacher."
After Xue Xin sat down, he began to narrate in detail.
He told Xue Xin about the deep affection between him, his parents, his sister, and the others. He also told Teng Qingshan about the disaster. He even told Teng Qingshan about how he poisoned his enemies.
"A scholar is useless!" Xue Xin shook his head and laughed out loud. However, his eyes were filled with tears. "What's the use of studying? If I had learned martial arts since I was young, even if I couldn't compare to the genius Teng Qingshan of the Gui Yuan Sect who reached the True Dan Innate Realm at the age of seventeen, I wouldn't have been unable to kill any of those three bastards!"
The biggest blow in his life made Xue Xin think that studying was useless.
Since then, he had devoted himself to learning martial arts.
"Xue Xin, do you have any connection with the Gui Yuan Sect?" Teng Qingshan asked.
Xue Xin stared at Teng Qingshan in surprise. He nodded and said, "Teacher, how did you know?" Teng Qingshan couldn't help but feel shocked. Xue Xin continued, "Back then, I trained hard in the mountains. After eating the Green Fruit, I achieved some success. Then, I started to wander outside. Coincidentally, I became friends with some members of the Gui Yuan Sect's Black Armoured Corps. "
Teng Qingshan nodded.
"This Xue Xin has always wanted to take revenge, but he doesn't have the ability to." Teng Qingshan sighed.
"Xue Xin, do you want to take revenge?" Teng Qingshan asked.
"Of course I do." Xue Xin's eyes lit up. Then, he shook his head and said, "However, I'm too weak. I can't even deal with that Zhao Xi, let alone the County Chief of Wuan County City, Zhao Guangzuo." Xue Xin had three enemies. The first was Zhao Fu, who had forcefully demanded the Flowing Cloud Invitation.
He framed and killed the Xue Clan's County Governor, Zhao Guangzuo, and Zhao Xi, who had been playing the role of a useless advisor throughout the entire process.
"If you don't have the ability, I'll give you the ability to take revenge." Teng Qingshan stood up. "Stay here for a while!"
"Yes, Teacher." Xue Xin felt somewhat apprehensive as he watched Teng Qingshan leave.
Xue Xin was the only one left in the empty study room. Staring at the flickering candle flame, Xue Xin gritted his teeth and said, "I, Xue Xin, have finally become the disciple of a great teacher. The heavens have been kind to me. I must cultivate diligently and work ten times, a hundred times harder! Father, Mother, Grandmother, Second Uncle, Big Sister … I will definitely hack these three bastards into a thousand pieces and take revenge for you! "
After a while.
Clack! Clack! Clack! The sound of Teng Qingshan's footsteps could be heard.
Xue Xin immediately calmed himself down and turned to look. He saw Teng Qingshan walking in with a jade box in his hand.
"Xue Xin." Teng Qingshan opened the jade box.
Xue Xin immediately examined the box carefully. Inside the jade box was a grass with only two leaves. Although the grass had been plucked long ago, one could still feel its vigorous vitality. There seemed to be dewdrops on the leaves of the grass. Teng Qingshan smiled faintly and said, "This spiritual herb is called the Morning Dew Grass. It has a miraculous effect. Once consumed, it can open up all the meridians in the body!"
"Eat it first," Teng Qingshan said.
"Open up all the meridians in the body? This …" Xue Xin stood up with a 'whoosh'. He gulped and looked at Teng Qingshan anxiously. "Teacher, this is too precious. I …"
"Don't be wishy-washy. Eat it," Teng Qingshan shouted coldly.
Spiritual herbs that could open up all the meridians in the body could be found in the Land of the Nine Prefectures. They were considered high-grade spiritual herbs and spiritual fruits. However, Teng Qingshan had obtained the Morning Dew Grass by chance when he was searching for the Dreamy Cloud White Fruit in Duanmu Continent! Actually, Teng Qingshan had many spiritual fruits and spiritual herbs.
Firstly, he could search for some himself.
Secondly, he had the most spiritual herbs, spiritual fruits, and secret manuals. When Teng Qingshan plundered the treasures of the number one clan in Duanmu Continent, the Tianfeng Clan, he took all kinds of spiritual herbs, spiritual fruits, and secret manuals.
How many thousand-year-old spiritual treasures did the Tianfeng Clan have?
Therefore, this Morning Dew Grass was really nothing much.
"Gurgle ~ ~" Xue Xin felt grateful to his teacher. Simultaneously, he swallowed the Morning Dew Grass. Strangely, the Morning Dew Grass turned into juice in Xue Xin's mouth. He gulped it down as if he was drinking water.
"My whole body feels numb." Xue Xin had a strange expression on his face. He couldn't help but twist his body.
"It's so hot!"
Gray and black impurities continuously seeped out of Xue Xin's pores. Xue Xin was immersed in the transformation of his body by the Morning Dew Grass and didn't notice the passage of time. In the time it took to drink a cup of tea, Xue Xin let out a long breath. A hint of happiness appeared on his dirty face.
"Thank you, Teacher." Xue Xin knelt down with a thud.
"Open your mouth!" Teng Qingshan instructed.
Xue Xin froze and opened his mouth.
A drop of water flew out from the jade bottle in Teng Qingshan's hand and floated into Xue Xin's mouth. Xue Xin widened his eyes in surprise. However, a moment later, a joyous expression appeared on his face. This drop of water was the precious Elixir of the North Sea. A single drop could create an expert at the peak of the Postliminary Realm. Moreover, it could transform the meridians.
"Now that the meridians are completely unobstructed, it will only be beneficial to Xue Xin's cultivation of the Internal Martial Art." Teng Qingshan nodded his head in satisfaction. "His body is filled with inner strength. This will allow him to have sufficient energy to strengthen his body during the cultivation process."
After a moment.
"Teacher." Xue Xin could feel the shocking changes in his body. He couldn't help but feel grateful toward Teng Qingshan. Ever since his family was ruined, Teng Qingshan could be said to be the person who treated him the best. Although he had made other friends … it was obvious that the teacher before him treated him the best.
Having experienced the fickleness of human nature, he would remember the kindness that others had shown him even more.
"Don't just stand here like a fool." Teng Qingshan instructed, "When I came just now, I had already ordered the servants to boil some hot water. Go and take a bath quickly. Remember … servants are forbidden from entering the inner court. You will have to carry the hot water into the room yourself. "
"Okay." Xue Xin looked at himself. He was dirty and couldn't help but chuckle.
*****
In Wuan County City, the Warm Breeze House was the best brothel. Even the most ordinary brothel would cost dozens of silver taels, which was equivalent to the annual income of an ordinary villager.
On the third floor of the Warm Breeze House, poems and paintings of famous people were hung on the wall. Below the viewing platform, over ten exquisitely carved tables were placed. On each table was a cup of top-notch tea. It was obvious that the business here was very good. The viewing platform was filled with people. Everyone was whispering to each other and listening to the zither and flute music.
Although it was winter, the third floor was filled with hot air. It wasn't cold at all. Instead, it was as warm as spring.
On the viewing platform, two young ladies with enchanting figures and beautiful appearances were wearing only a thin layer of muslin. One of them was playing the flute, while the other was playing the zither. As the zither and flute played together, the music reverberated in the third floor.
Below the viewing platform, in the left corner, sat the pair of teacher and disciple, Teng Qingshan and Xue Xin.
"Teacher, the person sitting over there is Zhao Xi." Xue Xin gestured with his eyes and said, "He's the skinny young man at the front."
"Oh." Teng Qingshan glanced at him.
There were three people sitting at the front table, which was the best table on the third floor. They were a handsome young man and a pair of beautiful twin girls. The twin girls were peeling grapes and putting them into the mouth of the handsome young man. The handsome young man seemed very relaxed.
Behind the handsome young man stood two valiant guards.
"This Zhao Xi was bought by the Zhao Clan when he was young. He was originally a servant of the Zhao Clan and accompanied Zhao Fu, a direct descendant of the Zhao Clan, to practice martial arts and study," Xue Xin said in a low voice, "However, this Zhao Xi is very scheming. Not only did he coax Zhao Fu well, but he is also quite powerful. He has connections with all sorts of people in Wuan County City.
"He is the sworn brother of General Li, the commander of Wuan County City's army! He is also secretly doing some big business. Even the Zhao Clan's Patriarch has adopted Zhao Xi.
"Now, this Zhao Xi can drink and chat merrily with General Li and the County Chief in Wuan County City. He is definitely an extraordinary person."
Xue Xin said in a deep voice, "I have to admit that this Zhao Xi is a very powerful person. In my opinion, he is even more powerful than Zhao Fu, the young master of the Zhao Clan. "
Teng Qingshan nodded slightly.
For a servant to develop to this stage, one could imagine how scheming this person was.
"When Zhao Xi follows Zhao Fu, Zhao Xi will be able to obtain anything that Zhao Fu wants, and he will be able to resolve everything perfectly! Back then, Zhao Xi was the one who told Zhao Fu about the Flowing Cloud Invitation. Moreover, he was the one who arranged the framing and confiscation of the clan. "Xue Xin's gaze turned cold." I must kill this Zhao Xi as soon as possible! "
Although Xue Xin's conversation was blocked by Teng Qingshan, the outside world could not hear it. However —
In the distance, Zhao Xi, who was being served by a pair of twin sisters, seemed to sense Xue Xin's murderous gaze. He suddenly turned his head and glanced at Xue Xin. However, Xue Xin instantly regained his composure.
"Ah Bao." Zhao Xi suddenly stood up and gestured to the two beauties beside him with his eyes.
"Brother Xi?" The pair of sisters stood up, puzzled.
"Let's go."
Zhao Xi held one of the ladies' hands and placed his other hand on his waist. Then, he immediately led the two beauties and the two guards outside.
"Great Young Master Zhao." The brothel keeper, a beautiful woman who looked to be in her thirties, greeted them with a smile. "You're leaving so early?"
"Yes, I have something to do today." Zhao Xi smiled and stuffed a banknote into the brothel keeper's arms. Then, he touched her chest.
However, at this moment, Zhao Xi's expression changed slightly.
This was because …
Teng Qingshan and Xue Xin walked toward the staircase.
"Eh?" Zhao Xi calmly took a step back and retreated behind the brothel keeper and the guards.
Thud, thud, thud …
Xue Xin had already reached the side of the guards. He brushed past them and was about to walk toward the staircase.
"Zhao Xi." Xue Xin suddenly turned his head and stared at Zhao Xi.
"Oh, you are?" Zhao Xi smiled as he looked at Xue Xin. Simultaneously, he held a beauty in front of him and said, "Forgive my bad memory. Brother, you are …?"
"I'm the one who will take your life!" Xue Xin shouted fiercely.
Swish!
A saber light flashed like a waterfall!
Immediately, the guards, beauties, and the brothel keepers behind the brothel keeper screamed.
Clang!
The saber light chopped off the arm of the beauty in Zhao Xi's arms. Then, a metallic sound rang out and blood splattered. Zhao Xi crashed into the wall at the side. With a rumbling sound, a big hole appeared in the wall. Then, Zhao Xi leaped out of the wall.
Boom!
Like a ferocious tiger, Xue Xin, whose eyes were bloodshot, leaped out of the hole. He held the horse-slaying saber that was dripping with blood.
