After Hsu Fengnian finished speaking, he slowly walked towards the direction that the grey-clothed old man had escaped to. Gongsun Yang, who was sitting in the carriage, looked at the back of this person and sighed. He then saw the handsome student from the Chess and Sword Music School get on the horse after some hesitation and stick to Liu Nerong's side. On the contrary, Gongsun Yang's expression was calm. Hsu Fengnian passed a hillside that blocked his view. Just as he was about to rush forward, he saw the grey-clothed old man holding a small flying ant between his two fingers. The little thing appeared in the blink of an eye and disappeared in the blink of an eye. It was clearly a Southern Barbarian venomous insect. Seeing Hsu Fengnian's figure, the old man with a hooked nose crushed the small insect and sneered, "Kid, playing with two ant venomous insects in front of your grandfather, what a joke!"
Another flying ant appeared in front of Hsu Fengnian's eyes. It fell to the ground and struggled for a while before dying. When he was tracking Xiao Qiang, he also relied on this venomous insect from Shu Xiu. At this moment, he looked at the grey-clothed old man and cupped his fist with a smile, "I've heard of the Wu Family's Sword Tomb's Green Grass Sword Embryo Nurturing Secret Technique. It's very mysterious, so I wanted to borrow it from you. It'll only take a cup of tea's time and I'll return it after reading it. If there's any disrespect, please forgive me."
After the grey-clothed old man crushed the venomous insect, he was still rubbing his fingers. After hearing Hsu Fengnian's words, he exclaimed in surprise, "Kid, you have a photographic memory? How's your Qing Gong? If it's passable, I don't mind taking you in as a slave. In the future, we can sneak into the forbidden areas of Jianghu and find suitable secret manuals for you to memorize. This will save This Old Man a lot of trouble. "
Hsu Fengnian smiled bitterly, "You want to take Wang Weixue as your disciple, but why am I a slave?"
The old man was straightforward. A green scorpion the size of a fingernail pierced through his skin and crawled out from the back of his hand. It raised a pair of small pincers and made a hissing sound. He sneered, "That kid's father is in charge of the military and political power of Beimang's Aquarius State. You only know a little bit of witchcraft. You're too far away from orthodox witchcraft. Tell me, who do you think you are!"
Hsu Fengnian lowered his head and saw thousands of scorpions swarming over. He said helplessly, "But senior's Scorpion Gu is only an unorthodox method. It's far from being as imposing as the Jade Pipa of the Six Great Gu Kings."
The Tidewater Scorpions trapped Hsu Fengnian in the middle.
The gray-robed old man, who had been exposed, was not angry. He stopped the scorpions from moving forward and exclaimed again. This time, he was really surprised. "You know about the Jade Pipa, a great creation immortal item? Normally, the juniors who have some skill in playing with Gu would not know about the Six Great Gu Kings. This Old Man has underestimated you. I thought you were just an ordinary rich kid. I didn't expect you to be so knowledgeable. Tell me, what's your family background? If it's enough to make even me feel apprehensive, I can lend you this Dark Green Sword Manual to take a look. "
Hsu Fengnian smiled and said, "I'd better not say it. I'm afraid you won't believe me."
The gray-robed old man was unusually patient. He played with the green scorpion on the back of his hand and said, "Tell me. Grandpa is different from the rest of the world. The more unbelievable something is, the more I'll believe it."
Hsu Fengnian said, "There's a white-haired Old Man surnamed Chu. He was chained to his collarbone by two blades. He taught me how to use the blade."
The gray-robed old man frowned. "This old man has been missing for many years. When Chu was roaming the jianghu, you were still wet in your pants. Don't lie to me!"
Hsu Fengnian's face was relieved. He smiled and said, "He's back in the jianghu."
The old man's face was gloomy. After a long time, he quietly took back the green scorpion. The scorpion tide also dispersed. He took out the manual and threw it out. After that, he scolded, "Kid, you're lucky. I have some connections with Old Man Chu. I owed him a favor in the past. When I see him in the future, I'll say we don't owe each other anything."
Hsu Fengnian wiped the cold sweat from his forehead and stretched out his hand to catch the manual.
The gray-robed old man suddenly arrived. He laughed and punched the chest of this young and inexperienced kid. "Kid, you're going to die from your stupidity this time!"
The next moment, the gray-robed old man suddenly stopped. He rolled his eyes and made a sound of surprise for the third time.
He only saw the young man with the blade fly out. His sleeves bulged. His punch was like a stone thrown into an ancient well. There were obvious ripples on his clothes before they finally disappeared.
The young man who looked like a rich young man did not talk nonsense. He lowered his head and began to read the Qingfu Sword Manual.
The gray-robed elder was not sure if this little guy was pretending to be exhausted, or if he was really safe and sound by some strange method. He was very confident in his cultivation, but he did not dare to chase after him. The atmosphere was very strange.
Hsu Fengnian closed the manual and threw it back to the gray-robed old man. He smiled and said, "What a set of Qingfu Sword Technique. It's really mysterious."
The sly old man in the jianghu was afraid that he would die from his stupidity. When the manual fell to the ground, he realized that the kid in front of him had no intention of making a move. No matter how thick-skinned the gray-robed old man was, he was still embarrassed. He carefully bent down and picked up the Qingfu Sword Manual. However, he kept looking up and smiled. "Kid, you have a strong inner strength. I've been catching eagles all year long. Now that I've seen the Peerless Sword Manual, you've only taken a punch. In the end, you have the advantage. Why don't we stop here? "
Hsu Fengnian said calmly, "Either you held back your strength in your punch and did not kill. It seems like you do have some friendship with the white-haired Old Man. Or you're not in the second rank at all. You're just relying on your Lightness Skill and Venomous Insect Art to make people afraid. "
The gray-robed old man laughed dryly. "I just don't have a good blade. Otherwise, I could kill a first rank master, let alone a second rank master. "
Hsu Fengnian smiled and said, "Thank you for lending it to me. I'll take my leave now."
The old man nodded and said, "Okay."
Hsu Fengnian said, "Can you put away the green scorpion again? It's always going in and out of the back of my hand. You've lost a lot of blood. "
The gray-robed old man smiled and wiped the blood on the back of his hand. He put the scorpion back into his body again.
Hsu Fengnian said, "You can leave first. I won't send you off."
The old man smiled kindly and said, "You can leave first. This Old Man has been running day and night for a few days. He's a little tired. He needs to rest."
"You can leave first. This is etiquette."
"It's fine, it's fine. You can leave first."
"Senior, the scorpion crawled out again."
"Eh? It's being naughty again. Kid, don't take it to heart. It's not This Old Man's idea. "
"If you don't leave, I won't leave."
"Kid, you're too pretentious. Since we're all in the Jianghu, we're all good men of the Jianghu. There's no need to pay attention to seniority and etiquette."
The old man and the young man exchanged pleasantries tirelessly.
In the end, the gray-robed old man sat on the ground. He glared at the young man who still had not drawn his blade. He was finally about to curse.
Hsu Fengnian smiled and bowed. He said, "I'm really leaving this time."
Looking up and staring at the slender figure, the gray-robed old man resisted the urge to sneak up on him. He slowly got up and patted his butt. He muttered, "Wang Weixue from the Chess and Sword Music School is one thing, but this kid is not easy to deal with. There's no way I can survive in the Jianghu."
