I began to understand the myriad things by chopping wood

The figure was like a meteor, drawing a straight line in the sky. Almost in the blink of an eye, it quickly grew from a small black dot to a clear face, crossed the Xie family's land and the entire Chenjun County City, and came to the sky above the canal dock.

The middle-aged man who came over had a clear and mature face, a wide robe with large sleeves, and a graceful figure. It was Xie Yi.

He flew over the back of the jade Buddha, picked up Xie Yuan, and brought him to the top of the big jade Buddha. He then pulled Xie Lingyun up and looked her up and down. Seeing that she was not seriously injured, he breathed a sigh of relief.

Xie Yi looked at Xie Yuan again. Although his clothes were a little tattered and messy, his eyes were clear and his breath was steady. Apart from some minor injuries on his shoulders, he was fine. He nodded and said in a deep voice:
"I didn't expect that there would be someone causing trouble right under the nose of my Xie family in the suburbs of Chen County. I noticed it too late."

Xie Yuan shook his head. Although he and the mysterious woman had exchanged dozens of moves, their movements were as fast as phantoms. It took them less than half an incense stick of time to fly up and down the Buddha statue for several rounds.

It was only a short while from the time Xie Lingyun regained her freedom and notified him. The girl was obviously very familiar with the methods or secret treasures of these families. She could not capture Xie Lingyun, and none of her passive protective treasures were triggered.

Before Xie Yi could ask more questions, he suddenly lowered his head and saw that below the big jade Buddha statue, in the vast shantytown from the dock to the city wall, the densely packed poor people saw that there was a lull in the movement here, so they all gathered closer to the Buddha statue, regarded it as a miracle, put their hands together, knelt down and prayed and made wishes.

Xie Lingyun whispered:

"Dad, what should we do? That person threw the Buddha statue here..."

She was somewhat shocked. A magic weapon that could do such a thing must not be an ordinary thing. Although her Xie family had many magical gadgets handed down, as far as she knew, there was no such thing as this one.

Xie Yi pondered for a moment and said:
"It's not a long-term solution to leave it here. I'll take it back to the Jade Buddha Temple first."

belt?
Xie Yuan was a little confused and looked at Xie Yi curiously. He said it so easily, could it be that he also had some tricks up his sleeve?
Xie Yi told the two men to stand firm, then suddenly jumped down and landed on the ground.

Xie Yuan and Xie Lingyun were looking down when they suddenly felt the large jade Buddha begin to tremble. They couldn't help but sway and quickly stood firm in horse stance.

The huge Buddha statue suddenly rose from the ground, rose into the sky from the huge pit of the mound, and then slowly flew towards the Jade Buddha Temple.

Xie Yuan looked at the ground that seemed to be moving under his feet with a trembling face, looked at the dense and dazed crowd by the river, and sat on the top of the flying Buddha statue, floating away.

Is this... the strength of a top master?
With one hand, he can hold up the sky and fly into the sky!
Xie Lingyun was also excited, but not as shocked as Xie Yuan. In her eyes, her father was always a great man.

After a while, Xie Yi flew to the Jade Buddha Temple carrying the big jade Buddha and slowly placed it in the equally wide open space in front of the main hall.

With a loud bang, smoke and dust flew everywhere. Even though Xie Yi's movements were gentle enough, the entire high ground where the Jade Buddha Temple was located shook. Fortunately, when the Jade Buddha was built, the area around the main hall was specially compacted, so the entrance was not afraid of collapse.

Xie Yi jumped onto the top of the Jade Buddha again and brought the two people down one by one, just like their nanny.

When Xie Yuan and Xie Lingyun landed on the ground, they discovered that there was a large ball of gold foil next to the giant foot of the Buddha statue, which looked familiar.

Xie Yi said in a deep voice:
"The foot of the Buddha statue is still the same golden Buddha statue at home, but it has been crushed out of shape."

Xie Yuan raised his eyebrows slightly, feeling that there seemed to be some hidden meaning in what this girl did.

He looked at the huge Buddha statue and the gold foil underneath, recalling the entire sudden argument and fight, and his heart was vaguely touched.

【Buddhist Rhyme: (8/9)】

"The Buddhist rhyme...is really here."

Xie Yuan muttered to himself, happy but not surprised, as he had expected it.

This woman is so mysterious. Could it be that she really knows what I want?
Xie Yi explained a few things to the monks who had gathered nearby, waved his hand to signal them not to be polite, then looked at Xie Yuan and the other two and asked:

"Who is the mysterious man who stole the Buddha statue? Xie Yuan, how did you feel when you fought him? Can you figure out his background?"

Xie Yuan hesitated for a moment, looked at Xie Lingyun, and said:
"She is a very young mysterious woman with powerful skills and far superior cultivation to mine. I think... she might be from the Kitchen God Cult."

"Fire maker."

Xie Lingyun added.

Upon hearing this, Xie Yi was slightly enlightened and a little surprised.

If he was a master of the Kitchen God Cult, or one of the Four Emissaries, it is possible that he was able to perform such an extraordinary feat with some magical weapon. After all, even an ordinary master would be scratching his head if he wanted to move the Buddha statue.

But since they are the Four Emissaries, their strength cannot be measured by the ordinary three transformations of Qi and Blood. They can basically be regarded as masters.

The damage caused by a Fire Envoy in the Ten Thousand Monsters Mountain was still too painful for the major families. If it weren't for Xie Yuan, the entire army might have been wiped out.

However, at that time, Xie Yuan still needed the cooperation of several masters, while he was guerrilla warfare on the side, looking for opportunities.

Now it’s one on one, and he actually stopped the Fire Master on top of this jade Buddha?

Such great progress in such a short period of time?

Xie Yi's eyes flickered as he looked at Xie Yuan:
"Xie Yuan, can you defeat that fire user?"

"I can't beat her, and she can't do anything to me."

Xie Yuan shook his head.

He was not being humble, but he felt that the Fire-Raising User had not yet displayed his full strength. At least he had not broken through to the Grandmaster level directly after an outburst like the Fire-Burning User. He must have a backup plan.

And he had basically used all the means at his disposal to get entangled with that woman and become evenly matched with her for the time being.

However, if a real fight came to this, Xie Yuan estimated that he would still not be able to defeat the enemy. However, relying on his magical skills such as the Heavenly Concealment Technique and the Heavenly Illusion Technique, he was able to protect himself. He could be said to be a scoundrel.

However, such performance was surprising enough, and both Xie Yi and Xie Lingyun were somewhat shocked.

Xie Yuan was obviously not a boastful person. If he said so, it meant that he had already assessed the strength of both sides during the battle and was very sure of what he could do.

What level of talent is required to become a Firebearer? The last few people who can compete for the position of Saint in the world's largest sect are likely to be the next Saint, and are undoubtedly one of the most dazzling geniuses of their generation.

Just by looking at the terrifying fighting power of the Fire Master, one can get a glimpse of the strength of the Fire Master. Martial artists of the same level cannot even match him, and almost no one can escape from his hands.

Those who were really willing to fight were the most outstanding children from aristocratic families under the masters such as Wang Qiwen and Cui Lei, and they were all at a disadvantage.

They are at a disadvantage, and so is Xie Yuan. Does this mean that their levels are almost the same?

Xie Yi nodded slightly, seeming to be happy and sighing:
"Not bad, not bad, very good."

He praised Xie Yuan several times, making Xie Yuan a little embarrassed, and then said:

"But why did this evil witch behave like this?"

Xie Yuan and Xie Lingyun both shook their heads. Although Xie Yuan had some guesses, he didn't want to discuss them and could only think about it silently.

Seeing this, Xie Yi just nodded, and then said to the monk of the Jade Buddha Temple:

"The big jade Buddha has been found, but it is quite damaged. I am afraid we will have to repair its jade body. Also, if we want to move it back to the main hall, we will probably have to tear down the roof."

Master Fazhi clasped his hands together, with a grateful look on his face:

"Amitabha! Thank you for your generosity, you have helped us a lot. I dare not trouble you for the rest. Once the Buddha statue is completed, I will go to the Prajna Temple to invite Master Zhiling. Master Zhiling's teachings are profound and may be able to guide us."

Xie Yi heard this and nodded:
"If Master Zhiling takes action, then there will be no problem."

Fazhi turned to Xie Yuan and Xie Lingyun and said:

"Amitabha, I would also like to thank the two donors for helping my temple find the Buddha statue in less than half a day. I am very grateful."

Xie Yuan and Xie Lingyun were both humble, and in the end it was Xie Yi who got the big Buddha back.

But the mysterious woman seemed to be coming for the two of them, or to be more precise, for Xie Yuan. Xie Yuan was unsure of her purpose for a moment. Was she being targeted because she had killed the Fire Envoy?

"I think Mr. Xie seems to have a connection with Buddhism and is practicing the external skills of Buddhism. Here is a string of Buddhist beads, which was collected by the senior monks of the Jade Buddha Temple and passed down from generation to generation. It has a deep Buddhist meaning and may help Mr. Xie practice Buddhism. This small gift is far less than finding the big Buddha, so it is not a respectful gesture."

Master Fazhi took out a string of glittering golden Buddhist beads from the wide cuffs of his robes, which gave people a sense of peace and simplicity, and made people feel peaceful and calm just by looking at it.

Xie Yuan was a little surprised, and when he saw Xie Yi nod slightly, he gestured:
"Since it is Master Fazhi's intention, Xie Yuan, you should accept it."

He understood that this was Master Fazhi's token of gratitude to Xie Yi, so he did not refuse and took the beads with expectation:
"It would be disrespectful to refuse this. I thank Master Fazhi."

"Goodness is goodness."

Fazhi clasped his hands together, smiled, and was obviously relieved.

Xie Yuan took the Buddhist beads and felt them for a moment. To his regret, the amulet did not react at all, but the blood in his body accelerated slightly. It was obvious that the Golden Bell Cover and the Buddhist beads complemented each other, and he couldn't help but feel satisfied.

With the help of this Buddhist treasure, he will surely be able to practice the Golden Bell Cover with twice the result with half the effort.

However, the Golden Bell Cover will have to be replaced sooner or later. It seems that I am still destined to be with Buddhist Kung Fu.

After this matter was over, Xie Yuan looked up at the somewhat dilapidated Buddha, and then he remembered that he came here to admire the wonder, and he began to appreciate it for the first time.

It was somewhat similar to the famous Buddha in the previous life, as tall as a hill, a miracle, but such a magnificent statue was actually covered with a layer of jade. Such expenses were difficult to afford even for the ancient dynasties. Perhaps this was the difference caused by having personal power in this life.

Xie Yuan looked up at the tall and majestic Buddha statue. Even though its body was a little damaged, it did not affect its majesty. In front of it, Xie Yuan felt like a tiny ant.

On the Buddha statue, the slightly lowered Buddha face looks kind, as if looking at the ant-like creatures with compassion.

“Only wonders can bring about the charm of Buddhism?”

Xie Yuan thought silently:

"Perhaps the Buddhist rhythm does not come from there..."

He looked at it for a moment and shook his head.

Although the process was somewhat unexpected, the result was very good.

I have seen the big Buddha and got the Buddha's charm, but I don't know if I have been targeted by the evil woman of the cult. If so, it may not be a good thing.

Xie Yuan, Xie Yi and Xie Lingyun returned to the Xie family's ancestral land. Xie Yi told them to have a good rest and then left, as if he wanted to discuss something with the elders.

The appearance of a Firebringer might just be the beginning, but soon after a Saint candidate appeared, and the signal could not be ignored by them.

Xie Yuan had a fierce battle with the mysterious girl and felt a little tired. Just as he was about to say goodbye to Xie Lingyun and go back to rest, he saw her pulling his arm.

Xie Yuan looked at her in confusion, but saw Xie Lingyun's charming big eyes blink twice and said:

"Brother~Thank you for saving me!"

Xie Yuan got goose bumps all over his body, and he shook off Xie Lingyun's hand and said:
"Don't talk like that!"

Xie Lingyun's eyebrows immediately raised, and she said:

"What? Don't you like me calling you brother?"

"I don't like you getting mad."

Xie Yuan said with some disdain, shaking his hands:

"Let's go! I need to go back and recuperate."

Xie Lingyun put her hands behind her back, watched Xie Yuan walk, and suddenly said:

"I owe you my life again!"

Xie Yuan looked at her, reached out and patted her head, and smiled indifferently:

"Isn't it my duty to save my sister? There's no such thing as owing something or not."

He waved goodbye again and walked towards his own compound.

Xie Lingyun watched him slowly walk away, clasped her hands behind her back, and sighed softly.

Xie Yuan returned to his yard as if nothing had happened. With the help of Shi Jian and Yun Zhu, he changed his clothes, took a bath, walked into the bedroom under their expectant eyes, and locked them outside the door under their disappointed eyes.

The two pretty maids looked at each other outside the door and couldn't help whispering:

"Will there be any problem, Master?"

"It's possible, otherwise why would he look down on me?"

"…Maybe it's because you're too dull except for practicing martial arts."

"But you can't even practice martial arts."

"...Do you think the young master would dislike women? This is not uncommon."

"This is possible."

The two maids looked at each other and became worried at the same time.

If the young master doesn't like them, he will probably have to replace them with personal servants to serve him in the future. Then what will be their place?
Xie Yuan didn't know what the people outside the door were thinking, he just thought silently:

"If that sword had been a little faster, perhaps she would have been forced to retreat and defend...

"If I wait for her to jump before swinging the axe, it shouldn't be that easy to dodge. But she's experienced and can adapt to the situation. She waits for me to swing the axe. In that case, maybe I should trick her into jumping first?"

Xie Yuan summed up afterwards and thought of many other solutions for dealing with battles, which might have better results.

Every battle is like this. Responding on the spot is not necessarily the best option. Afterwards, if you think about it, maybe a different move or angle could have ended the battle earlier.

But every time I make a summary of these regrets and remember them silently, I will perform better in the next battle and the choices I make will become more and more optimal.

To this day, Xie Yuan's fighting skills no longer have any major flaws, but when he encounters a strong opponent like the mysterious girl, many problems are exposed again; however, it is precisely such opponents that can make him progress faster.

Xie Yuan's eyes flickered as he kept summarizing today's gains and losses, nodding repeatedly and gaining a lot, until he could no longer bear the mental and physical exhaustion and gradually fell asleep.

the next day.

Xie Yuan woke up without dreaming, having a rare good sleep, but he still got up early to do morning lessons as usual.

After practicing the basic exercises several times, Xie Yuan thought for a while, took out the list, and then said to Yun Zhu:
"Go get these pills, they're almost used up."

"Yes, Master."

After Yunzhu left, Xie Yuan started practicing in the yard again. His Xuanbing turned into a long sword and then into an axe.

He quickly put into practice what he had summarized last night, making adjustments while practicing. He soon felt that he had gained something, and his moves became smoother. He could not help but nod repeatedly.

Seeing that the progress of Yunlong Jiushi, which had always been slow, had quickly increased by a few points, Xie Yuan smiled slightly and thought:

“Playing chess with masters will help you improve faster.”

Many young people in the Xie family, although they are top-notch talents outside, can only play the role of bad chess players in front of Xie Yuan.

It's not that they are bad, it's that they are not good enough.

It is difficult to cross the mountains and pass the passes. Those who have been surpassed by Xie Yuan have never been able to make them look back.

Since you are aiming for the highest peak, you must keep moving forward.

The next ones are Xie Dun, Xie Wei, Wang Qiwen and Cui Lei, the four envoys of the Kitchen God.

Xie Yuan felt that there were quite a few masters, and he was very excited, and he was more motivated to practice.

Just as I was immersed in my progress, it felt like only a moment had passed when Yunzhu came back and stood quietly aside.

Xie Yuan stopped and nodded:

"Thanks for your hard work."

Yunzhu quickly shook her head and came forward to hand over a few porcelain bottles:

"Master, do you want to use it now or should I put it in your room for you?"

"Let it go."

Xie Yuan felt that this cute maid was very considerate and made him feel comfortable.

Yun Zhu responded, hesitated, and whispered:
"Master, just now on the road, someone kept asking me, did you go out and fight with someone yesterday?"

“People always ask?”

Xie Yuan asked doubtfully.

"Yes, there were people asking along the way, including familiar servants and masters."

Yunzhu told him everything.

After hearing this, Xie Yuan realized that what happened yesterday had spread overnight.

It was not known whether the news came from the meeting between Xie Yi and the elders, or whether gossipers heard about it from the strange vision of the giant Buddha in the city, but the news of Xie Yuan single-handedly fighting against the emissary of the Demon Repelling Sect soon spread like wildfire.

Rumors tend to become outrageous, and there are all kinds of versions.

Xie Yuan was just fighting against the Fire Master by chance, but in the blink of an eye, he felt that the young people in his family were too weak, so he took the initiative to go and fight against the masters of the Kitchen God Cult;
It was obvious that he was trying his best and the fight was hard to decide, but it was Xie Yilai who scared her away. Then he easily crushed his opponent and almost defeated him.

These are nothing. Yunzhu recounted the most outrageous version - Xie Yuan held Xie Lingyun in one hand and supported the giant Buddha in the other, and suppressed the fire envoy while chatting and laughing, but he had a Buddhist heart and could not bear to kill him, so he just drove him out of Chen County a hundred miles away.

Xie Yuan didn't know whether to laugh or cry, so he naturally told the curious Yun Zhu that these were all fake.

But apart from those who spread the rumors, there were naturally many people in the Xie family who knew the truth and knew that Xie Yuanzhen had fought with the fire maker and escaped unscathed.

"Brother Dun, is Xie Yuan really that powerful?"

A group of young people gathered in a room exclaimed.

Xie Dun, who had a handsome but indifferent look, said slowly:
"If he didn't have some skills, how could he have achieved twelve consecutive victories and even defeated Xie Chun?"

Xie Chun nodded and said:
"He is really good, but I didn't expect him to be so good. Brother, are you sure?"

Even he was a little worried about Xie Dun. After all, no matter how powerful Xie Dun was, he might not be more powerful than the Saint candidate of the Demon Cult, right?
Xie Dun just said calmly:
"We have to fight to know what's going on. But who can tell whether the four envoys are powerful or the others are incompetent? Xie Yuan alone was able to defeat the Fire-Raising Envoy, which is enough to show that the Fire-Burning Envoy is just so-so. She just has the advantage of the terrain in the Ten Thousand Monsters Mountain. If I go there, I won't let her do whatever she wants."

"It has to be Brother Dun!"

Seeing Xie Dun's confidence, the people around him were expecting something and began to flatter him. However, some people disagreed, but they naturally didn't say much at this time.

Xie Chun was secretly worried that his brother was being too arrogant, and wanted to give him some advice, but he saw that although Xie Dun said he didn't care, he secretly clenched his fists. As a brother, he immediately understood that his elder brother was not as relaxed as he seemed, and he could not help but remain silent.

The clash between the young dragon returning to the family and the long-renowned leader of the younger generation has attracted many people's attention. Everyone is looking forward to this fight between dragons and tigers, which may change the pattern of the younger generation and even the older generation of the family.

However, when everyone was speculating when the final battle would begin, another event that had not been publicized but also attracted the attention of many people finally arrived.

Inside the residence of the Xie family's head, the original Buddhist temple had been cleared and dug up, and a majestic, intricately patterned purple-gold coffin was slowly sunk inside.

Xie Yuan stood nearby, looking at the coffin lid that had not yet been closed and saw only a few tattered clothes. No matter how luxurious the coffin was, it was just an empty coffin, and he couldn't help feeling a little sad.

Xie Yi and Cui Pingjun both stood by and watched silently. Xie Yi looked gloomy and silent, while Cui Pingjun looked a little dazed, with no other expression on her face.

The coffin had already been lowered into the ground, and among the paper money scattered all over the floor, a man in mourning clothes came over to ask for instructions:

"Master, do you want to seal the coffin?"

Before Xie Yi could speak, Cui Pingjun seemed to come back to her senses and exclaimed:
"Wait, I almost forgot..."

She took out some children's clothes and swaddling clothes that were washed bleached. Although they were very old, they looked clean and it was obvious that they were often taken out for cleaning.

Cui Pingjun looked dazed, her hands clenched and unclenched, and finally she looked into the coffin and whispered:
"I thought I would wait until I found Lun'er to show him the clothes he wore when he was a child, but now there is no chance anymore..."

Xie Yi sighed and gently stroked Cui Pingjun's back; Xie Lingyun was originally solemn, but she couldn't help but feel a lump in her throat when she heard this and held her mother's hand.

Cui Pingjun shook her head, broke away from them, lay down beside the pit, and put a few pieces of clothes into the coffin with her own hands, stacking them together with the tattered and old clothes.

She stared at it for a long time before she said:
"Seal the coffin."

Xie Yuan stood silently by the side, watching everyone busying around, then filled the soil again and erected a luxurious tombstone that was not quite consistent with the impression he had of his eldest brother.

After burning incense and paper and firing cannons to see him off, Xie Lun's new grave was ready.

"It will be convenient to worship in the future."

Xie Yuan thought silently.

In the past, I went back several times when I was still in Yunzhou. Now I am here by myself, and my eldest brother has come with me.

I always feel that it has no meaning, it just makes life easier for people.

Xie Yuan let out a breath and watched Cui Pingjun turn around woodenly. Xie Yi nodded slightly to himself and then accompanied her into the house.

Xie Lingyun waved to him and whispered:

"Come in and eat. Although my mother said it's not presentable, I still asked the kitchen to make braised pork trotters..."

"My eldest brother likes to eat it, but he has never eaten it twice in his life."

Xie Yuan didn't understand.

Xie Lingyun nodded slightly:
"Bring it to our brother later so he can eat his fill."

Xie Yuan was silent for a moment, then suddenly laughed and patted Xie Lingyun on the head.

Xie Lingyun covered her head and looked at Xie Yuan with dissatisfaction; seeing him walking in on his own, she snorted and stomped her feet to catch up with him.

After the banquet, Xie Yi called Xie Yuan aside and whispered:
"Your adoptive parents have also moved back to their clan's land, which is in Yuzhou, not far from Chenjun. It is reasonable for you to go and pay your respects to them."

Xie Yuan nodded:
"That's right. Where is it? I'll leave in a few days."

"Beishan Village, Wei County..."

Xie Yi told him the address, then shook his head:
"But you shouldn't go there in the near future. It's better for you to stay in Chen County until you find out the next move of the Demon Cult. We still don't know what they want to do."

Seeing Xie Yi was also so cautious, Xie Yuan became a little serious. If the heads of the big families took the reappearance of the Four Emissaries so seriously, then perhaps the Demon Cult would really take some action.

Another Eight Gates Rebellion?
Or do they want more chaos in the world?

Yunzhou Prefecture.

Situ Qin's mansion was so huge that it took up half of the long street.

In the study room.

Situ Qin wore a simple dress without too many patterns, but the material was luxurious and the details were exquisite.

With her stunning beauty, she is already stunningly stunning without any makeup.

Compared to when Xie Yuan and her parted, she looked more mature, her body slightly taller and fuller, and her temperament was just between that of a girl and a woman, at the most beautiful age of her life.

However, such a peerless beauty, at this moment, was holding a letter gently in her hand, without saying a word, with her brows slightly furrowed, which made people feel distressed.

Li Tai and Aunt Hong stood on the left and right of the wall, silently watching the quiet Situ Qin, not daring to breathe.

The two looked at each other. The tacit understanding they had gained from working together for many years allowed them to communicate in a unique way for a while. It was Li Tai who coughed lightly and said in a deep voice:
"Miss, are you okay? You've been reading this letter for a long time."

"Ah."

Situ Qin hummed lightly, and then fell silent.

Li Tai and Aunt Hong looked at each other and were at a loss for what to do.

This letter was naturally sent by Xie Yuan.

They had previously known about Xie Yuan's background through the channels of the Prince of Pingxi's Palace, and the atmosphere in the palace suddenly became weird.

Situ Qin had been absent-minded for several days, which made Li Tai and Hong Yi extremely worried. Then this letter arrived.

The moment they saw the letter, not only Situ Qin showed surprise, but Li Tai and Hong Yi also felt relieved, as if things were not that bad.

However, Situ Qin looked at the letter left and right, up and down, for a long time without saying a word, which immediately made the two of them feel uneasy.

Could it be a farewell letter?
The two of them muttered to themselves, their hearts hanging in the air.

If this is true, I will definitely teach Xie Yuan a lesson—

Li Tai thought so, but when he thought of his current identity, it seemed that he really couldn't do anything to him, and he frowned immediately.

He thought for a moment and said in a deep voice:

"Miss, forget it. Who told him he was from an aristocratic family? A forced melon is not sweet. If he doesn't want you, there are plenty of people who are devoted to you."

Aunt Hong's brows suddenly raised and she poked Li Tai hard with her elbow.

Li Tai was thick-skinned and just glanced at Aunt Hong's delicate arms in confusion, then continued:
"Although you've been through a lot, he's from an aristocratic family after all, and you shouldn't have been together..."

Li Tai pushed away Aunt Hong's hand and said:
"Even if he is from an ordinary aristocratic family, it's fine, but he is from the Xie family... It's fine if he is from the Xie family, but he also happens to be the son of Xie Xuan. This is called fate... Why are you pinching me?"

Li Tai was a little impatient and slapped Hong Yi's hand away:

"Cut the Gordian knot quickly. Miss and Xie Yuan have become the murderer of your father. This is absolutely impossible. The sooner it is done, the better."

Aunt Hong sighed and swore:
"Will you shut the fuck up?"

"What did I say wrong?"

"Do you know why you can't get a wife?"

"Don't you agree?"

"you……"

Aunt Hong was choked by him and wanted to punch him twice.

Situ Qin came back to his senses and said:
"Uncle Tai, what did you just say?"

Li Tai and Hong Yi turned their heads at the same time, looking at Situ Qin's confused look, they felt pity for her and had the urge to rush to Chen Jun and kill Xie Fuxin Han Yuan with their own hands.

To be able to have a relationship with a banished fairy like the young lady, Xie Yuan had to burn incense for eight lifetimes to be able to do so! How dare he send a farewell letter?

What's wrong with the direct descendant of the Xie family? What's wrong with the son of a grandmaster? What's so great about this identity... Well, it's still okay.

But no matter! Not to mention that he was a dead grandmaster, even if he was still alive, if he could win the favor of the young lady, he should betray his family and abandon his father, change his family, and directly marry into the Pingxi Palace, becoming a royal family, wouldn't that be a pleasure?
With his status, the young lady hasn't even said she dislikes him yet, but he's already become arrogant...

Situ Qin's relatives and friends felt indignant, and then they heard Situ Qin sigh and say:
"I really didn't expect that..."

"Who says it's not?"

Li Tai also sighed.

Situ Qin was a little surprised and said:
"Uncle Tai, do you know what I want to say?"

"Isn't it just his identity? It is indeed a bad fate."

Li Tai said as a matter of course.

Situ Qin shook his head upon hearing this:
"No, that's not what I meant. I guessed it a long time ago."

"what?"

Now Li Tai and Aunt Hong were both surprised and looked surprised.

Situ Qin tilted her head and looked at the beams of the study, as if recalling something:

"When I first met him, I had this guess - could he be a wandering member of the Xie family of Chen County?
"At that time, although he came from the countryside, he had a good-looking appearance and delicate skin. I felt that he should not be a boy born and raised in the countryside.

"Considering his last name and his handsome appearance, he is just what the Xie family admires. It just so happens that the Xie family had the most children living abroad, and many of them were never found. I thought this might be a child of the Xie family."

Li Tai frowned:

"Miss, you are still with him..."

"Who knows what happened next? Although I guessed this at the beginning, it was without basis after all. I also thought he looked pleasing to the eye, was fun to look at, and was interesting to talk to. So we gradually became familiar with each other. Later, we interacted more and more, and gradually it has come to this day."

Situ Qin was somewhat emotional:
"The only thing I didn't expect was that he was the son of Xie Xuan.

“I thought he didn’t look outstanding at first, and I had a preconceived notion that he was at most a side branch;
"But later on, he became more and more outstanding and powerful. I should have thought of it earlier. With his talent, he must have an extraordinary background. But perhaps I subconsciously didn't want to think so until it came true in the end."

Aunt Hong looked at him dimly and said:

"So Miss, even if you have already guessed it, you don't care about his identity?"

"I don't care. Even if he is from the Xie family, what does what happened back then have to do with him?"

Situ Qin shook his head and said:

"It doesn't matter whether he is from the Xie family of Chen County or the Xie family of Xiaoshi Village, as long as he is Xie Yuan, that's enough."

Li Tai was shocked when he heard this. He stood up straight, held the sword in his hand, and clasped his fists and said:

"In that case, Miss, wait a moment. I will go to Chenjun and bring him here."

Situ Qin blinked blankly, not knowing whether to laugh or cry:

"Isn't this necessary?"

"It is necessary. The young lady is so infatuated with him, yet he dares to send her a farewell letter. I will go and ask for an explanation even if I have to risk my life!"

Li Tai argued convincingly.

"Farewell letter? What farewell letter?"

Situ Qin was confused. She shook the letter in her hand and smiled.
"He wrote to explain to me!"

Aunt Hong was stunned for a moment, while Li Tai's face became even darker and he shook his head:
"Miss, please stop hallucinating. Farewell is farewell. Any explanation is just a nice way of saying it."

Situ Qin didn't know whether to laugh or cry:
"Really? He's even worried that I'll dislike him!"

"what?"

Li Tai was stunned.

Situ Qin tucked her hair behind her ears and said leisurely:

"That's why I said I didn't expect it. I was worried that he would no longer care about me because of my father's revenge, but he was worried that I would vent my anger on him because of what happened back then, so he wrote to explain it to me!"

Li Tai and Aunt Hong looked at each other in bewilderment.

"Is there still this?"

Li Tai said in a daze.

Aunt Hong nodded:
"I've long seen that he is a man of loyalty and friendship."

"Of course! I knew he was trustworthy!"

Situ Qin smiled brightly.

Li Tai nodded, then shook his head:

"But he is also an unfilial son...woo woo."

His mouth was covered by Aunt Hong, who could no longer bear him and said angrily:

"What do you know? What do you know? If you had a bit of his ability, you wouldn't be unable to find a wife!"

Situ Qin ignored the two of them, held the letter and thought for a while, then suddenly stood up.

Li Tai and Aunt Hong stopped immediately and looked at Situ Qin. Seeing her smile, she said:
"Since he is so loyal, I should respond."

"Miss, what do you mean?"

Aunt Hong asked tentatively.

Situ Qin's eyes sparkled:
"I'm going to see him!"

……

Chen County.

The Xie clan's land.

In the courtyard, Xie Yuan was holding a long sword and dancing continuously.

The dazzling sword light formed a white cloud that was completely invisible to the eyes. Neither the man himself nor the sword in his hand could be seen.

It seemed as if there was a huge shadow constantly moving in the clouds, sometimes left, sometimes right, sometimes up, sometimes down. It always felt like it would pounce at any time, but it was always hidden in the clouds, making people more and more terrified.

Shi Jian watched for a while and suddenly he broke out in sweat, soaking his clothes. He didn't dare to look anymore and felt confused and uncertain.

Even though there was a huge gap in strength between her and Xie Yuan, she was mentally resolute and would not tremble and almost fall down when watching him practice - at least she did not feel that way in the past few days.

Could it be that the young master has improved again...

Shi Jian was extremely impressed.

Although Xie Yuan did not teach her martial arts for the time being, he could not help but let her watch.

During this period of time, every time Xie Yuan practiced, she would serve by his side, never blinking, for fear of missing out.

Even though her eyesight was not very good, Xie Yuan made noticeable progress every day.

Moreover, the awkward parts from yesterday will surely be smoother today; after correcting them today, you will never make the same mistakes again.

Shi Jian had never heard of such a way of training martial arts. Could it be that all these masters who had reached the third level of Qi and Blood were so powerful?

Her heart was filled with eagerness and she had an infinite longing for it.

Xie Yuan swung the sword once, slowly put it away, and nodded slightly.

The blood was boiling around him, and thanks to the previous battle with the mysterious woman, his understanding of the Nine Styles of Yunlong and even the way of the sword had made great progress.

During this period of time, he had digested the gains from that battle, practicing hard day and night, and had made progress in all his martial arts techniques.

He practiced swordplay, boxing, and horse stance in the yard every day, almost from morning to night, and the servants were used to it.

In addition to the moves, the Golden Bell Cover also made great progress with the help of the Buddhist beads.

Master Fazhi would naturally not be stingy in his gift to Xie Yi because he saw that Xie Yi had carried the Buddha back for him. The Buddhist beads are indeed worthy of the title of Buddhist treasure and are extremely effective in helping those who practice Buddhist techniques.

Xie Yuan relied on the Buddhist beads during this period of time, and the golden bell cover became more and more solid, and he invisibly crossed a small node in the third transformation realm.

Xie Yuan knew that his cultivation had improved and was stable at the early stage of the third transformation realm. His golden bell cover was more solid and his qi and blood were more powerful.

Generally speaking, it takes at least five years or even ten years from breaking through to the third level to accumulating enough blood and energy to try to break through to the Grandmaster level.

These are the junior masters who can already achieve the third level of Qi and blood transformation. In ancient times, they were already the chosen ones of martial arts masters, but they still need so much hard work.

After all, the amount of blood and qi required to truly fill the human body to its limit is enormous and unimaginable.

Xie Yuan had only made a breakthrough for a few months, but his cultivation had improved slightly, which was already very fast. At this rate, it would definitely take less than five years, or even three years, to reach the late stage and reach the Grandmaster level.

The help of the Buddhist beads and the strong support provided by the superior family, coupled with Xie Yuan's own talent, the combination achieved unimaginable results.

"If you want to do your work well, you must first sharpen your tools. Now that the tools are fully utilized, it's time to replace the raw materials."

Xie Yuan pondered:
"Can you tell my second uncle to apply for permission to visit the Xie family's arsenal?"

Xie Yi was so nice to him, but he never mentioned any martial arts techniques to him. There must be a reason for that, and he didn't ask any further questions.

But now he thought about it and decided that there was no time to lose. Perhaps he should take the initiative to ask what conditions were required so that he could work harder.

Xie Yuan was thinking when he suddenly saw the doorman running towards him with a nervous look on his face.
"Master, Master! Here is a letter of challenge for you—"

"War letter?"

Xie Yuan seemed to understand something, but before he could ask, the doorman quickly said:
"Master Xie Dun gave it to you!
"In three days, he will come to challenge me!"
