My enemies became my companions

Chapter 19 The Right Hand Disagrees

"Where did this boxing manual come from?"

Upon hearing Chen Yi's words, Governor Wu stopped.

"Jinyiwei,"

Wu Qingsheng paused.

"A close friend of mine, have you ever heard of the name of Min He, the Southern Pacification Envoy of the Imperial Guard?"

Chen Yi narrowed his eyes slightly.

Isn’t Min He the grandfather of the Min sisters?

"Mr. Min is not from the capital. When he first came to the capital, he fought his way into the world with his fists and feet. Then he was recommended by the martial arts school to the Jinyiwei, and worked his way up from the lowest level of strongman to the pacification envoy."

Chen Yi was confused when he heard this and asked:
"Since the Cangshan Fist was left by Min He, why not leave it to the Min family?"

Wu Qingsheng recalled the past and said slowly:
"I have the same doubts about your question, but Mr. Min has never expressed them. I can only summarize some trivial words.

The reason why Mr. Min did not pass down this boxing manual was,

Firstly, it was because his only son was not good at martial arts, and he was worried that the man was innocent but guilty of possessing the treasure.

Secondly…it may be because Mr. Min is a disciple who broke away from the sect and felt guilty, so he did not dare to pass it on to his descendants. "

Breaking out of the door...

This word is far worse than being expelled from the mountain gate.

Wu Qingsheng took a deep breath, patted Chen Yi on the shoulder and said:
"Captain Chen, Mr. Min gave me this book to keep it for me. I will hand it over to someone worthy of entrusting it to in the future."

"Just now, I saw your conversation with Mr. Lin and your every move. I know you are worthy of trust. I, Wu Qingsheng, am a eunuch, childless, not even an adopted son. If I don't entrust you with this, this book will only gather dust in the palace's Sutra Library."

Upon hearing this, Chen Yi clasped his hands together and said:

"Thank you, Lord Governor."

Wu Qingsheng smiled, closed the secret compartment, and said no more.

………………

After leaving Xichang, Chen Yi first went to the Jiaofangsi.

Today was the day when the Music Bureau would take inventory of the female members of the Prince of Xiang's mansion. If he didn't do something and make arrangements in advance, the fact that he had taken the Prince of Xiang's daughter away would sooner or later be exposed.

When he arrived at the Jiaofangsi, Chen Yi unexpectedly saw Min Ning.

Seeing Chen Yi's new official uniform from afar, Min Ning paused, with a complicated look in his eyes.

That official uniform was worn by Qianhu...it was originally hers.

She never thought that today, she became the subordinate and Chen Yi became the boss.

"Yuechi, why are you here?"

Chen Yi walked straight over and greeted.

When Min Ning heard him calling her name in an intimate manner, she was stunned and subconsciously took a few steps back.

"I...I help check the roster."

Min Ning turned his head away, not looking at him, and then put the list in his hand to Chen Yi.

She pretended to be casual and said:
"It has been checked."

Chen Yi casually flipped through the roster and found that the part about Yin Tingxue had been modified.

"I didn't expect that the kind-hearted Mr. Min would do such a thing."

Saving himself the trouble, Chen Yi closed the roster and put it back in Min Ning's hands.

Min Ning listened, and felt sarcastic and humiliated:
"Don't humiliate me.

I just, just…"

How could Chen Yi not know what she was thinking?

She did it for her and her sister.

Trying to please himself in order to… save her and her sister from his clutches.

Min Ning did something that went against her conscience. She tried to suppress her humiliation and whispered:

"Leave me and my sister alone,

Although I have been demoted, I will always give you convenience in the future."

Chen Yi said meaningfully:
“It’s not convenient enough.”

Upon hearing this, Min Ning turned around, glared angrily, but had nothing to say.

After a while, she softened her voice and begged:

"Let my sister go... Just let my sister go."

Chen Yi smiled, tapped her head with his finger and said:
"You have become smarter.

You know how to ask me.”

Min Ning looked away and managed to squeeze out a response:
"Yeah." [Min Ning's negative emotion reward is three years of true energy.]

Chen Yi looked at the panel.

【Remaining amount of true energy: one hundred and forty-three years.】

It will take another seven years to condense five true essences, and the Yin-Yang Art of Resentment will also be able to achieve some success.

Chen Yi took another look at the newly acquired "Cangshan Fist".

Tsk…

Difficulty...

Cangshan Fist is considered a top-grade martial art similar to the Star Absorbing Art. The Qi required is extraordinary, but the rewards obtained are also extraordinary.

If he infuses all of the 143 years of true energy into it, Chen Yi is confident that he can make some progress in Cangshan Fist and have an extra means to fight the enemy. However, being able to make some progress does not mean he has mastered the art, let alone achieve perfection.

If it is not infused, one hundred and forty-three years of true energy can be saved, and with another seven years, one can consummate the marriage and practice dual cultivation.

Chen Yi lowered his head and looked at his left hand, then at his right hand.

It was as if the left side was the Cangshan Fist and the right side was the Yin-Yang Art of Resentment and Hatred.

"There are still ten days until the prayer hall."

At this time, Min Ning suddenly said.

"Oh...I know."

Chen Yi nodded.

The blessing temple was the first major event in the capital.

"Why are you talking about this?"

Min Ning took a deep breath and said slowly:

"Everyone knows that when you pray at the Taoist temple, immortals will come to eliminate bandits and demons. Do not have evil thoughts or do evil things."

Chen Yi understood immediately that Min Ning was trying to use this to threaten him and warn him not to do anything to her sister.

Feeling amused, Chen Yi said:
"I know far better than you do."

"But this campaign of exterminating bandits and demons happens once a year, and it has happened hundreds of times over the past hundreds of years. Why is it that these bandits can never be completely eliminated, and these demons can never be completely exterminated?"

“To put it bluntly, the real demons to be eliminated are not the demons before people’s eyes, but the demons in people’s hearts.”

Min Ning was speechless for a moment.

Chen Yi took a step closer, touched her head, and while there was no one around, quickly gave her a kiss on the forehead.

Min Ning's face turned red, and he dodged in shock and stared at him.

However, the culprit just shrugged his shoulders as if nothing had happened.

"Farewell!"

Min Ning left these words angrily and turned to leave.

"Wait."

Min Ning stopped.

Chen Yi looked at her and asked:

"How much do you know about your grandfather?"

Min Ning looked surprised and said:
"Why do you ask this?"

Chen Yi uttered three words:
"Cangshan Fist."

Min Ning's pupils suddenly shrank, and he couldn't help but say:

"That's...grandfather's kung fu, how did you know that?"

Chen Yi walked over slowly and said with a smile:
"I have it in my hand."

Min Ning denied:
"That's impossible. Grandpa didn't even pass it on to my dad."

Chen Yi pulled out the book from his arms, and when those words appeared, Min Ning's eyes widened.

Just as Min Ning moved closer subconsciously, Chen Yi retracted his boxing skills.

Min Ning stared at it intently and asked in a daze:
"That is true?"

Chen Yi joked:
"Whether it's true or not, you'll know once you get your hands on it, right?
Anyway, it was given to me by Governor Wu."

"Min Ning, you... don't want it?"

Min Ning was worried. She had indeed heard that her grandfather had a close relationship with Governor Wu. She tried to turn her head away and not think about the boxing manual, but when she remembered that it was her grandfather's relic, she turned her head away again, and so on.

After a while, she seemed to have thought of something and asked:
"If it's true, why don't you practice it?"

Upon hearing this, Chen Yi glanced at the panel.

He spread his hands helplessly and said:
"My left hand wants to practice Cangshan Fist, but my right hand disagrees."
