In the area of Jiaqing Lake's Bottle Alley, every willow tree on the lakeside had a large red lantern hanging from it. Visiting the lake at night was as bright as day, convenient for a few brothel patrons who were fond of wild mandarin ducks playing in the water. It could be seen that Bottle Alley solicited business. However, the man who lingered in Bottle Alley tonight apparently did not have this kind of abnormal hobby. Jiaqing Lake was tranquil and peaceful. Tantai Konghou led him to a waterside pavilion with a horizontal board with the words "Connecting Water and Sky." She carelessly imitated that boorish martial artist and sat down. She extended a hand, indicating that they could compete in martial arts.
She naturally did not favor that pretentious man with a saber. Her family's servant's weight was very sufficient. Don't look at the fact that above third rank there were second rank and fourth rank first rank. Third rank martial artists roamed Jianghu. Although they could not be said to be tyrannical, they rarely met a worthy opponent. After all, second rank and first rank peak experts had the reservedness that peak experts should have. On one hand, they did not easily reveal themselves if they did not have the opportunity. On the other hand, they disdained to take action. The Demon Lord Xie Ling had the mentality of a young man watching a child throw a tantrum. He was never willing to interfere, as it did not benefit his martial cultivation at all. The higher the realm, the more it tested his patience and perseverance. He could not afford to slack off for even a moment. Especially when he had stepped into the first grade, it was like the gates of heaven had been opened wide. It was like a long scroll of thousands of miles of mountains and rivers had been unfurled, and everyone was intoxicated by it. The characters outside the scroll were like chickens and dogs, and the scenes outside the scroll were unbearably vulgar. Murong Konghou, who originally thought that she could settle this matter in a few moves, saw her retainer earnestly lift his robe and tie it around his waist. He stepped out, and his hand made an inviting gesture. She subconsciously leaned forward, her heart somewhat astonished. Could it be that she had truly caught a big fish? Otherwise, how could this normally arrogant personal guard of the City Overseer's Mansion be so serious?
The personal guard who had reached a higher level in external martial arts was not impatient to take action. He said in a low voice: "My family's ancestor, Yang Huqing, was taught by the Central Plains' Xiongyi Fist's twelfth generation grandmaster, Fu Qiujian. After returning home, he created his own Dragon Bearing Fist. Although it is regarded by the world as an external martial art, it is actually an internal and external dual cultivation. My father once killed the enemy in the army and made some improvements. Therefore, he is particularly adept at short fights. His actions are ruthless, and he absolutely does not adhere to the views of the world. If he makes an unreasonable move, young master should not be surprised. "
Hsu Fengnian smiled and nodded. Just like him, he stepped forward and stretched out his hand, treating him with respect.
The impatient Tantai Konghou rolled her eyes. This Yang Dianqing was truly fussy. Finishing a few moves was enough to finish the job, yet he insisted on being so serious. This Young Master has made an appointment with second brother to go to Anyang to listen to the zither. She had no choice but to shout: "Hey, hey, hey, are you two done yet? You're even chatting. It turns out you've met old friends in a foreign land. Hurry and be quick about it for this Young Master! A loss is a loss, and a win is a win. There's no need to be so polite! "
The City Shepherd Estate's retainer, Yang Dianqing, took the initiative to attack. He sent a straight punch, his lower body steady and solid. His feet kicked up bursts of dust from the ground, and his entire body was like a twisted rope. It could be seen that he was nurturing an astonishing explosive force. This was the first time Tantai Konghou had seen him use his full strength. Her eyes were wide open, and she was brimming with vigor. It was just as she said, the one surnamed Yang had some real skill. She saw that youth with a saber press down on the simple and unadorned short saber's scabbard with his left hand, and he used his right arm to meet the enemy. Yang Dianqing was clearly dissatisfied with this youth's conceit. His fists were compact, taut and instantaneous, twisting and drilling. His body and footsteps blended into one, and he arrived in a flash.
Hsu Fengnian's right hand lightly patted Yang Dianchen's twisting fist on his chest. His body slid back two steps, giving him the opportunity to scatter and gather his fist's energy, and he also gave himself space to maneuver. Yang Dianchen's fist struck empty air. Sure enough, it was as he said. His family's inherited fist technique did not stick to one pattern. He aimed a vicious kick at this young master's crotch. Hsu Fengnian bent his knee and raised his leg. With a perfect sideways swing, he lightly swept away the swift and fierce offensive. Yang Dianchen could practically be called "taking advantage of the situation," twisting his body like a bow. He soared into the air, and his leg whipped out swiftly and violently. Tantai Konghou clapped her hands and cheered. Hsu Fengnian still used his right hand, his palm blocking the whipping leg. His body retreated a step, imperceptibly dispersing the force. However, he did not loosen his grip. After he stuck, his body spun, and he practically carried Yang Dianchen on his shoulder. He spun in a large circle, and Yang Dianchen was flung away. Yang Dianchen floated to the ground, his feet rooted to the ground. There was no sign of defeat.
Tantai Konghou, who wished for the whole world to be in chaos, called out, "Good!" In her opinion, this battle of martial arts could not be said to have a clear victory or defeat. It was merely that the saber-wielding young man's strange technique, using defense as an attack. Fortunately, he had not been defeated a thousand li away. She admired Yang Dianchen's carefree and unrestrained fast and fierce attacks. Watching it was a feast for the eyes.
Yang Dianchen was self-aware. After several moves, let alone that his offensive was like a tide, in fact, each time he attacked according to this young man's intentions. If the opponent truly wanted to be ruthless, whether or not he could last ten moves would depend on luck. Just as he was about to grit his teeth and use the killing move of the Dragon Manifestation Fist, a mellow voice that was no different from the sounds of nature entered his ears. "Don't fight, don't fight. Under the moonlight, the two of you are both experts. Heroes should appreciate each other. Fighting with your lives on the line will only spoil the scenery. Konghou, if you continue to cause trouble, second brother will not accompany you to listen to the zither. "
Hsu Fengnian and Yang Dianchen looked at each other and smiled knowingly. They both withdrew their hands, and the latter cupped his fist in gratitude. With Yang Dianchen's status as the City Overseer's mansion's guest, it could be considered giving this saber-wielding young man enough face. Hsu Fengnian was all too clear about the many customs of these martial artists. For Yang Dianchen, who had both a backer and a family background, to be able to reach this step was not easy at all. He also meticulously cupped his fist in return. That's it? Tantai Konghou, who finally had something to watch, was clearly very dissatisfied. Her eyes widened, and she indignantly looked at the white-robed hedonistic young man carrying the birdcage. She shouted: "Second brother! What's wrong with you? You're helping an outsider, and you won't even allow me to find some fun?! In the end, are you really my second brother? I was actually picked up by father and mother, so you don't feel sorry for me at all, right? "
The white-robed young man wore a smile as he stood by the lakeside. He carried a birdcage woven from purple bamboo and raised a rare Dragon Tongued Sparrow. He was approximately twenty-five or twenty-six years old, and his face was like a crown of jade. He was extremely handsome, and his appearance could make a young lady scream. Compared to His Royal Highness's true appearance, it was somewhat lacking. However, compared to the current Hsu Fengnian who wore his face, it was much more outstanding. His younger sister's rude and unreasonable behavior truly gave him a headache. He angrily smiled and said: "My little grandaunt, please spare me! Can't you just treat me as if I was picked up? "
Tantai Konghou's mouth was unforgiving, but facing this relative, her tone clearly carried a lot of affection and playfulness. There was not the slightest bit of coldness. She trotted out of the waterside pavilion and arrived in front of her second brother. She put her hands on her hips and pouted, feeling wronged: "Nonsense. You and big brother are twin brothers. If you were picked up, wouldn't father and mother only have me as their biological daughter?"
Tantai Chang 'an, who was Flying Fox City's number one debauchee but did not have a bad reputation, had a warm smile in his eyes. He stroked his younger sister's head and said with a wry smile: "You, oh you, if these words were heard by your big brother, see if he doesn't ruthlessly sort you out. It's only because I dote on you more than that bookworm that I won't get angry with you. Come, let's see who in the family loves you the most. If you're right, second brother will give you a pleasant surprise. "
Tantai Konghou's eyes smiled like crescent moons. She pulled on her second brother's arm and giggled: "It's definitely second brother. There's no running away."
The handsome young master laughed heartily and tapped her forehead, "I clearly know that you, this girl, don't have a conscience. When you get to that bookworm's side, you'll be a fence-sitter and change your tune. However, hearing this still makes second brother happy. I had the servants prepare plum blossom porridge for you in the courtyard. The plum blossom's stamens were all personally picked by second brother during the late spring. There were several times when I fell down from the tree, but I didn't dare tell you."
Tantai Konghou hugged her second brother and excitedly said: "I knew second brother would treat me well. In the future, I won't marry, I'll be your wife!"
Tantai Chang 'an flicked his finger at his blabbermouth younger sister and pretended to be angry: "Not marrying is fine, but to be second brother's wife, what a scandal!"
Letting his younger sister help hold the birdcage, he did not forget to warn her, whose eyes were quietly turning, that if she dared to secretly release the Dragon's Tongue Sparrow, she would not be able to drink the plum blossom porridge. Seeing her dispirited face, Tantai Chang 'an smiled and looked towards Hsu Fengnian. After bowing with clasped hands, he sincerely apologized: "Tantai Chang' an apologizes to this young master on behalf of my mischievous younger sister. Her temperament is actually very good, but she's a bit mischievous. She won't grow up. Young master should not take it to heart. I heard that young master wants to see Wei Manxiu. If you don't mind Chang 'an's superfluous recommendation, I'll go with young master to the Embroidered Ball Pavilion. "
Hsu Fengnian smiled and shook his head: "Tantai young master cannot muster so many people. Tomorrow, I will come to Guanghan Building again. I won't trouble you."
Tantai Konghou curled her lips and said: "You really don't know what's good for you."
Seeing Tantai Chang 'an turn his head and stare, she stuck out her tongue and stretched out her finger to tease the Dragon's Tongue Sparrow that was more vivid than a high-grade parrot. As soon as she said that the third young master's martial arts were matchless, the sparrow followed suit. Sure enough, its voice was exactly the same as a real person. The child-like Tantai Konghou could not help but laugh.
Hsu Fengnian softly laughed and said: "Good bird."
The sharp-eared Tantai Chang 'an unexpectedly shyly looked towards his own crotch. His face was full of emotion as if a thousand cups of wine were too few to drink with a bosom friend, "Young master has a discerning eye! Let's go. If you don't mind, let's drink a few cups to our heart's content. "
Not allowing Hsu Fengnian to refuse, Tantai Chang 'an quickly stepped forward, pulled his arm, and walked towards Miss Anyang's small courtyard. He eagerly said: "Young master may not believe it, but Chang' an feels close to you as soon as I see you."
Seeing Hsu Fengnian's strange expression, Tantai Chang 'an laughed and said: "Rest assured, I don't have a homosexual fetish. Although it's not to the extent that I can't be happy without a woman, I can't wait to be a real man who can sleep with ten women at night. However, some time ago, I made a bet with a family friend's disciple. I gambled on the bellies of women at Feng Feng Lou and hurt my body. During this time, seeing beautiful women is like seeing scourges. However, for the time being, I still have no interest in men. Young master, rest assured."
Hsu Fengnian bluntly said: "I'm not assured."
