The First Sword of the Universe

Chapter 301 The Master and Disciple Who Don't Get Along
The further south they went, the larger the team became, and the number soon exceeded hundreds.

The male servants all wore black, and the maids all wore white, and the black and white pairs walked in front, behind, and on both sides of the carved carriage.

The clothes of the guards around were all embroidered with tiger and leopard patterns, with short cloaks draped diagonally behind their backs. Each of them had a gleam in their eyes and looked like a bandit.

The melodious sounds of zither, flute, drum and harp echoed between heaven and earth. Those were the prostitutes from the carriages in front and behind the carved carriage, showing off their skills.

Xu Xingchen was lying in the carved carriage in the middle, with white gauze curtains hanging from the windows on both sides, fluttering in the breeze.

".Compared to the scene in my previous world when I traveled from the Central Plains to the Guangming Peak of Kunlun Mountain and was escorted by three thousand white-robed followers, it is really far inferior."

".But my current mentality is to play the role of a young master who enjoys eating, drinking and having fun, rather than the leader of a religion; this mentality is different, and the feelings are indeed different."

Yang Tiexin's family of four were in an equally spacious carriage at the back of the team.

Originally, they were assigned two carriages, but Yang Tiexin and Bao Xiruo thought that the four of them could communicate better and deepen their feelings if they got together, so they only took one of the carriages.

They arrived in Jiaxing very early, and the group would stop for a picnic whenever they came to a scenic spot.

The first choice is to find a flat place, spread out a few white and warm wool blankets, and create a spacious place to stay.

Then several low tables were placed on it, and maids served tea and cakes.

Xu Xingchen, Yang Tiexin and their family of four sat on it, chatting, eating and drinking, while admiring the evergreen forests, winding rivers, cascading waterfalls, and gurgling springs.
On the side, several beautiful prostitutes played the piano, flute, and drum, playing beautiful music.

Not far away, several chefs and their apprentices were busy making a fire and cooking. Then they brought delicious fried and cooked dishes to Xu Xingchen and his companions on the low table for them to taste.

Further out on the periphery, the powerful guards who were subdued by Xu Xingchen patrolled back and forth to prevent others or beasts from approaching!

When Yang Tiexin asked Xu Xingchen why he suddenly became so extravagant, Xu Xingchen just smiled and replied: "Relax and experience a different life."

Yang Kang remained silent, but a look of disdain appeared on his face.

He had enjoyed countless fine clothes and delicious food since he was a child. These were just small scenes, far inferior to his wonderful life with so many people following him.

Xu Xingchen noticed his reaction and knew that this kid's greed for fame and fortune was set, and he probably wouldn't be able to change it in this lifetime.

In the world of the book, the deaths of Yang Tiexin and Bao Xiruo brought a huge shock to Yang Kang. For a while, he probably really wanted to "turn to the light".

But he soon couldn't stand the "poor and monotonous" life, and after Wanyan Honglie's gentle persuasion, he returned to the palace and became his little prince.

Until later he plotted and killed Ouyang Ke, and then when he plotted against Huang Rong, he was poisoned to death by the poison carried by the soft armor on Huang Rong's body.
He was very young when he died, but he deserved to die and got what he deserved!
Now, he rescued the couple Yang Tiexin and Bao Xiruo and successfully brought them out of the capital of the Great Jin Kingdom.

In this way, the shock to Yang Kang's mind was much weaker, and the effect it could produce was extremely limited.

Xu Xingchen concluded that even if this kid followed his parents back to Niujia Village in Jiangnan, he would definitely find a chance to escape.

However, he couldn't tell Yang Tiexin and his wife about these things. He could only wait and see and act according to circumstances.

Mu Nianci, a girl who is gentle on the outside but strong on the inside, keeps her eyes on Yang Kang most of the time; occasionally, when Yang Kang looks back at her, she reveals a hint of shyness.

It can be seen that Yang Kang's handsome appearance and the teasing he did to her during the martial arts competition left a deep impression on the girl, and she couldn't help but fall in love with the boy.

As for the future destiny, Xu Xingchen couldn't guarantee whether it would be like the world in the book!
Traveling along the way, walking and walking.
This luxurious team caused quite a stir in the city markets along the way!

Many dignitaries tried to find out who the visitor was, but could not get any useful information.

Some people sent visiting cards and wanted to pay a visit, but were turned away.

Finally, the team arrived in Jiaxing on March 20th and rented a three-story inn near Zuixianlou.

The Seven Freaks of Jiangnan and Guo Jing's mother Li Ping rushed over after hearing the news and were invited to the room on the second floor by the people downstairs.

When the Seven Freaks of Jiangnan met Xu Xingchen, there was naturally some greetings.

Li Ping's meeting with Bao Xiruo and Yang Tiexin was another touching scene with tears in their eyes and tears in their eyes.

Afterwards, the three were taken to another room to talk to each other.

Xu Xingchen and the Seven Freaks of Jiangnan took their seats and were served tea by maids.

Han Baoju looked at the maid who quietly left, and could not help but ask out of curiosity, "Master Xu, why do you like pleasure so much?"

Xu Xingchen picked up the teacup, drank a sip of the clear tea elegantly, and laughed: "I don't have much to pursue in this world, so I want to enjoy some other happiness." Han Xiaoying smiled and said: "For Mr. Xu, these enjoyments are trivial matters, not worth mentioning!"

Zhang Asheng, who was sitting next to her, patted his round belly and said with a smile: "This kind of life is not bad. When we get old, we can build a manor outside the city and hire some servants and maids to serve us."

Flying Bat Ke Zhen'e said in a deep voice: "The seven of us brothers are all destined to work hard, running around all our lives. How can we enjoy life like Master Xu?!"

Zhu Cong waved his black paper fan and said, "Mr. Xu is a skilled martial artist, so he can protect the family business."

"Although our martial arts are well-known in the martial arts world, there are many who can surpass the seven of us."

"If some powerful enemies come looking for revenge in the future, wouldn't it be a waste of other people's lives?"

Quan Jinfa sighed, "Yes, those of us who are in the underworld are always dying. Who knows if we will die in a foreign land in the future? We can only enjoy these pleasures occasionally. If we really want to build a manor like Fifth Brother said, we need to think carefully before doing so."

Nan Xiren usually spoke the least, but now she said, "Being waited on by others is uncomfortable and troublesome; being alone is free!"

Xu Xingchen smiled as he watched the seven people talking, thinking to himself, "Sure enough, everyone has different ideas. Some like to enjoy themselves, some like to be alone, some hate trouble, and some think it's not right."

As the two sides chatted, they started talking about what happened in the capital of the Great Jin Kingdom.

Hearing that Bao Xiruo had married into the palace many years ago, the Seven Freaks of Jiangnan could not help but snort angrily, their faces looking somewhat surprised.
Hearing the news that Yang Tiexin was wandering around the world with his adopted daughter, constantly searching for Bao Xiruo and her son, the seven of them were amazed and impressed.
Hearing that their disciple Guo Jing had defeated Yang Kang, they were greatly encouraged and all of them showed joy on their faces.
When Xu Xingchen talked about how he kidnapped the princess in broad daylight and later broke into the palace at night and captured Yang Kang, he just glossed over it.

The Seven Freaks of Jiangnan knew how difficult it was to accomplish these two tasks, and they couldn't help but look up to Xu Xingchen's martial arts skills.

Later, when they heard that Guo Jing had fallen in love with a young girl and was in love with her, they all asked about the girl's background.

Xu Xingchen pretended not to know and said that the girl was good-looking and smart, and was a perfect match for Guo Jing.

During this period, Xu Xingchen also mentioned Master Wang Chuyi, one of the Seventh Master of Quanzhen.

The Seven Freaks of Jiangnan all said that they had heard of the reputation of the "Iron-footed Immortal"!

After the greetings, the Seven Freaks of Jiangnan stayed in the inn.

Bao Xiruo and Li Ping lived in the same room and talked all night for several days. When she heard about Li Ping's difficult journey to the north, she was deeply moved.

As a result, Bao Xiruo’s thoughts of suicide weakened a little!

March 24, the sky was overcast with light rain
Xu Xingchen generously booked the entire Zuixianlou, and waited for Qiu Chuji's arrival together with the Seven Freaks of Jiangnan, Yang Tiexin and his wife, Li Ping and others.

As one of today's protagonists, Yang Kang also followed to the scene, but no one knows what his mood was!
Shortly after the hour of Chen, three figures appeared in the misty rain outside the door. Each of them was wearing a Taoist robe and walked in with his sleeves fluttering.

Seeing the Zuixian Tower surrounded by servants and maids, the three were stunned and thought they had come to the wrong place.

Led by the maid, the three of them went up to the lobby on the second floor and met everyone.

Among the three Taoists, two were acquaintances of Xu Xingchen, namely Taoist Ma Yu, with whom he had practiced martial arts in the desert, and Taoist Wang Chuyi, with whom he had not seen each other for long.

The only Taoist priest I don’t recognize should be Qiu Chuji.

This man has a tall and straight figure, sword-like eyebrows, and a sharp light flashes in his eyes from time to time.

He does not have the elegance of a Taoist, but instead is filled with the heroic spirit of a hero!

as expected
When Yang Kang saw the Taoist priest, he frowned, then stood up calmly, walked in front of the Taoist priest, bowed and said, "Disciple greets the Master!"

Qiu Chuji glanced at him calmly and said, "Get up!"

He searched the whole world for Bao Xiruo but to no avail. Later, he returned to Niujia Village to pay tribute to the two brothers Guo Xiaotian and Yang Tiexin. Unexpectedly, he met the Jin soldiers who came to move the utensils from Yang Tiexin's house. He followed them all the way to the capital of the Great Jin Kingdom and found Bao Xiruo and her son in the palace.

At that time, Yang Kang was only nine years old. After Qiu Chuji and Bao Xiruo recognized each other, they accepted Yang Kang as their disciple and taught him martial arts.

Yang Kang had a good talent for martial arts and could quickly learn the martial arts moves taught to him, but he had been accustomed to a luxurious life of fine clothes and delicious food since he was a child, so it was inevitable that he would slack off in practicing martial arts.

During the years when he taught Yang Kang martial arts, Qiu Chuji often reminded him not to be greedy for wealth and to learn to be simple-minded.

How could Yang Kang be happy after hearing these exhortations? He gradually became more and more displeased with Qiu Chuji, the nosy old Taoist priest.
When Qiu Chuji saw that Yang Kang was greedy for fame, wealth and luxurious life, he knew that this boy was not a member of his Quanzhen Sect.

If he hadn't taken into consideration the hardships that the Seven Freaks of Jiangnan had endured in traveling all the way to the desert, he would have given up and admitted defeat long ago!
After so many years of getting along, Qiu Chuji and Yang Kang, the master and disciple, both have a very bad impression of each other.
