I began to understand the myriad things by chopping wood

Chapter 168 Destruction of the Family
Xie Yuan finished his signature pea noodle soup in a few mouthfuls at the noodle shop he often visited not far from the escort agency, and sighed with satisfaction:

"I'm afraid I won't be able to eat here for a long time."

The captain of the police who just passed by had an extraordinary aura. When he was stared at by him, he felt as if his whole body was seen through. Even the Heavenly Hidden Technique that he didn't use at full strength seemed to be unable to hide from him. Xie Yuan guessed the identity of this person in an instant.

"Yu Chunsheng was not lying when he said there was a detective investigating the case. Did he really come to see me so soon?"

Xie Yuan became alert and decided not to stay in Yunzhao any longer.

Unfortunately, after I came back and looked around, I searched both the escort agency and Yidao Martial Arts School, but still couldn't find Zhan Yue. I don't know who took him away?
Xie Yuan scratched his head and sighed.

This is going to be difficult to explain to Situ Qin.

He wiped his mouth, threw a few copper coins to the waiter, and left the noodle shop leisurely, but no one recognized that this was the head escort Xie they were talking about.

After finding a bookstore, Xie Yuan borrowed some paper and pen and prepared to send a letter to Situ Qin, informing her of his safety in case the escort agency was closed and he ran away, causing her friend to worry.

However, when Xie Yuan picked up the pen, he felt a little guilty. It seemed that he had not contacted her for a long time, and he had lost Zhan Yue...

He hesitated in his heart, chose his words carefully, and forced himself to explain. After thinking it over, he suggested that he use the method she knew to secretly cultivate a large sect in the state.

Thinking that there was still a detective who seemed to be tracking him, Xie Yuan did not delay for too long. The content of the letter was very concise. After writing it, he gave it to the owner of the bookstore to mail it on his behalf.

After leaving the bookstore, Xie Yuan looked at the sky, then turned back to look in the direction of the escort agency and let out a long sigh.

He walked out of the city, left Yunzhao, and headed towards Yunshan.

In the noodle shop.

Su Xing's sudden appearance startled everyone in the noodle shop.

He circled around the noodle shop like a whirlwind, then walked to the door, frowned, and looked around quickly.

However, what one sees is the bustling crowds of people, vendors, and common people. Their faces are different, but their aura is the same.

So Su Xing knew that although they only passed each other by a hair's breadth, he had completely lost her this time.

His face was solemn as he returned to the county government office, dismissed everyone around him, and began to write the case file.

"Xie Yuan:
"He is from Xiaoshi Village, Yunzhao County, Yunzhou. He is seventeen years old. He has been practicing martial arts for less than a year. He has shown signs of breaking through the Qi and Blood Transformation Realm. He is suspected of practicing both internal and external cultivation. He is suspected of having another inheritance...

"He was a fierce fighter who rose to prominence quickly. He never lost a battle in the local area. He killed the masters of two of the four major martial arts schools in Yunzhao and the county lieutenant of Yunzhao with brutal means. He then fled and has disappeared without a trace.

"Note 1: He teamed up with the Grandmaster of the Mu Family to kill the Grandmaster of the Golden Dragon Company, Deng Wan. It is suspected that he used an axe-type killing move that was beyond the realm of cultivation to seriously injure the Grandmaster;
"Note 2: He met me in the street and then escaped from my pursuit. It seems that he has some secret hiding technique that can evade the master's insight.

"In conclusion: The above two 'notes' are beyond common sense, but their reliability is above 80%, which is enough to show that this child is extremely talented and dangerous beyond his realm..."

Having written this, Su Xing paused, thinking of the look that Xie Yuan gave him in the noodle shop. He was surprised and looked at him, but not panicked at all. After looking at him, he just ate his noodles.

His face darkened slightly, and he continued:

"…He has a bad heart and likes to provoke the government; he is arrogant, reckless, and extremely cunning."

Su Xing drew two more horizontal lines under the characters "audacious and extremely cunning" to emphasize them. He then packed the files, sealed them in a special envelope with wax, and called a special person from the post station to send them back to Chunyu Tower in the capital.

Chunyu Tower stores the world's martial arts information, and ranks them into three lists: Tianlong, Feilong, and Qianlong. No one can resist.

Although there are only seventy-two names listed on the Hidden Dragon List, there are more than a thousand files on warriors collected in Chunyu Tower.

He planned to store this file on the first floor of Chunyu Tower.

There are countless warriors in the world, but only those who have reached the Qi and Blood Transformation Stage and above, and the best among them, can enter the first floor of Chunyu Tower.

But although Xie Yuan had not yet reached the Qi and Blood Transformation stage, Su Xing submitted the file without hesitation and sent it into the building. Just based on his strange performance, he should be the focus of observation.

Su Xing submitted the file with a calm expression.

He ultimately missed the best opportunity today and lost half the game.

Although he was not ready to give up and wanted to continue the search in Yunzhou for a while, he had a vague feeling that he might not be able to find the two people who killed Deng Wan in a short period of time.

Perhaps, we should start with Deng Wan, the fellow master...

a few days later.

The Yunzhao Yu Mansion was holding a funeral. The whole house was dressed in white, paper money was everywhere, and everyone was crying.

As a county lieutenant, regardless of his reputation, quite a few Yunzhao nobles, gentry, and people from all walks of life have come to pay their respects in the past few days.

Mrs. Yu was dressed in mourning and took Yu Chunsheng's only son to greet and see off guests. That evening, after seeing off all the guests, she stood in front of the coffin, silently bowing her head.

Suddenly, a gust of wind blew through the mourning hall, and paper money fluttered. The mother and son looked up in confusion, but saw that the doors and windows were clearly closed. Where did the wind come from?

The two were just feeling nervous when they suddenly saw a burly man with dark skin, wearing a vest and exposing his chest standing in front of the coffin.

Madam Yu was so frightened that her face turned pale and she asked in a trembling voice:

"Who is your Excellency?"

The big man turned around and said:

"Didn't the county lieutenant tell you about me?"

Madam Yu was stunned for a moment, then suddenly she had an idea and asked tentatively:

"Are you the master who appreciated my late husband?"

Lu Laosan glanced at her, his eyes twinkled, and said with a smile:
"Exactly. I heard that it was Xie Yuan from the escort agency who killed the county lieutenant, is that right?"

Mrs. Yu's eyes lit up, and she looked at her son with hope:

"That's right! It's Xie Yuan from Longteng Escort Agency..."

"Okay! Tell me about his story. Once I understand it, I might be able to help you get revenge."

Mrs. Yu nodded repeatedly and recounted the entire incident that day.

After hearing this, Lu Lao San stroked the steel-like beard on his chin and thought:
"This Xie Yuan is more like a gangster than me, actually killing an official in the street. Humph, he is so arrogant, if he reveals his tracks, when I find him, Mu Chaoyun who is having an affair with him will definitely not be able to escape far, then I can use him to exchange for the Black Book..." He planned for a while, nodded secretly, and when he couldn't ask any more questions, he was about to leave, when he suddenly saw the young man shake off his mother and kneel in front of him:
“Master Lu, please accept me as your disciple, teach me martial arts, and avenge my father!”

Lu Lao San was stunned, looked at the young man who was gritting his teeth, then looked at Madam Yu who was also a little surprised, and sneered:

"Want to learn martial arts from me? What's your level?"

"I, I... my father said that I have decent qualifications."

The young man was speechless for a moment and muttered.

Seeing this, Madam Yu also gave up, kneeling in front of Lu Lao San and gritting her teeth, saying:
"When my late husband was a county lieutenant, he was a righteous man and had many enemies. Now he has passed away, leaving us an orphan and a widow, unable to protect ourselves. Mr. Lu, please take my son in for my late husband's sake and teach him martial arts so that he can settle down and avenge his father in the future!"

She knelt in front of Lu Lao San, her face was pale and her eyes were wet. Madam Yu was a beauty when she was young, and she was well-fed and well-maintained. She was kept in the dark by Yu Chunsheng and looked only about thirty years old, very attractive.

As the saying goes, "If you want to be pretty, you have to wear mourning clothes." At this moment, Mrs. Yu was dressed in mourning clothes, kneeling on the ground. Her beautiful and full curves were clearly visible to Lu Laosan, making him squint his eyes.

Lu Lao San stopped moving and said slowly, step by step:
"That's not impossible. But..."

The mother and son's eyes lit up when they heard this. Mrs. Yu quickly stood up and said:

"Mr. Lu is a master, so a gift of tuition is essential. Although my husband has passed away, the family still has some savings..."

When Lu Lao San saw Madam Yu standing up, her body was full of charm, and his throat moved. He had not touched a woman for a long time because he was chasing the Black Heavenly Book. At this moment, he finally couldn't help laughing and said:

"As for the tuition, no, it's not necessary. But Madam Yu, I see that you still have your charm."

When Mrs. Yu saw Lu Laosan's lustful eyes scanning her up and down, how could she not understand what he meant?
She subconsciously took a step back, her face turning pale bit by bit, and she gritted her teeth and said:

"Mr. Lu, my husband's body is still warm, you..."

"Why, Madam, you don't want to avenge your husband?"

Lu Laosan slowly moved closer and his hands started to get naughty.

Madam Yu was powerless to resist. Yu Dalang's eyes widened as he rushed forward to stop Lu Lao San:

"stop……"

Before he could finish his words, Lu Laosan slapped him and he fell to the ground.

Mrs. Yu was very anxious:
"Don't hurt my son!"

"Then it depends on whether Madam is willing to cooperate.

"Madam, you don't want Yu County Wei to have no descendants, do you?"

After Lu Laosan said this, Mrs. Yu finally stopped struggling and was dragged to the side with a look of despair on her face, right in front of Yu Chunsheng's spirit.

Yu Dalang lay on the side, trembling all over as he listened to the screams coming from the other side.

After a long time, the screams stopped abruptly. Lu Laosan pulled up his pants reluctantly and looked at Madam Yu who had already died. He said dissatisfiedly:

"Boring!"

He walked up to Yu Dalang, looked down at the young man, and suddenly felt that the young man was as handsome as his mother.

While he was thinking, he saw Yu Dalang suddenly stand up, kowtow to him repeatedly, and mutter something in his mouth, which he could not hear clearly.

Lu Laosan scratched his ears and said:
"Why? You want to beg for mercy?"

"No... I beg you to accept me as your disciple, teach me martial arts, and avenge my father in the future."

Yu Dalang lowered his head and said hoarsely.

Lu Laosan was very surprised:
"You still want to learn martial arts from me?"

Yu Dalang nodded heavily:
"Only with martial arts can I survive in this world and seek revenge on Xie Yuan."

After hearing this, Lu Lao San looked Yu Da Lang up and down and said with a smile:

"You don't hate me?"

"Hate it, but also don't hate it."

Yu Dalang's eyes were calm:
"I just hate that I don't have the ability."

Seeing this, Lu Lao San was stunned again, and suddenly laughed:

"Well, I didn't expect to meet such a talented person here! You are so clear-headed. Given time, I think you will become a great man!
"Well, you have a grudge against Xie Yuan, and I also have some conflicts with him. Since you are so interesting, I can teach you a few tricks and cause trouble for him. It's not impossible."

After hearing this, Yu Dalang's eyes lit up and he immediately kowtowed and became his disciple.

He kowtowed heavily and was about to lift his head when he suddenly felt a strong force on his shoulders and could not lift it.

He puzzled and said:

"master……"

"I didn't say I wanted to take you in as my apprentice. I killed your mother, and you followed me around all day. If you really learned anything from me, wouldn't I be asking for trouble?"

Lu Laosan laughed.

Yu Dalang was very anxious and swore:

"I will never bear a grudge against Master! If I break this oath..."

"You could even tolerate my killing your mother, and I should believe your oath?"

Lu Lao San laughed and said:
"You are such a patient kid. I dare not keep you as a trouble. I am not one of those broad-minded heroes who keep their word. I am a horse bandit from the Western Desert. I always root out the bandits. You have found the wrong person."

He applied a little more force to his hands, and with a snap, he broke Yu Dalang's neck.
