“Well, one day without practice is slow, two days without practice is halfway done, three days without practice is like an outsider, four days without practice is just watching. You and Uncle Zhang have no connection, so Wu will practice his eating ability.” Zhang Hao-min looked at Ye Tiancheng with a smile. Ye Tiancheng was capable of competing with the Wolf King, but he saw it clearly. He was very surprised by Ye Tiancheng's ability to do so at such a young age. Over the years, he had been very grateful to this well-read and gentlemanly child. In the process of getting along with him, he was deeply impressed by his ability to do so at such a young age. He really liked Ye Tiancheng.

"So, Uncle Zhang, are you mocking me for losing my hand?" Ye Tiancheng suddenly said with a speechless expression.
"You son of a bitch," Zhang Haomin laughed and cursed, knowing that Ye Tiancheng was joking with him, and was very happy to have him.
...
“When I saw you fighting the Wolf King, the spirit in your swordsmanship was gentle, but it wasn’t strong enough, or even that. Even if it wasn’t, the so-called combination of strength and gentleness, taking it to the extreme is not good.” Zhang Hao-min turned around and said, leading the person in charge of the conversation to Ye Tianchengwu.
"Hmm?" Ye Tiancheng turned his eyes casually upon hearing Zhang Hao-min's words, and then said:
"Uncle Zhang, Ye Tiancheng's swordsmanship is called Qingfeng, which means gentle breeze, so it must follow a gentle path. Should a longsword follow a gentle and agile path?"
"Well, I'm not quite sure what you said to Qingfeng Sword, so it's hard to judge, but you said the longsword would follow a gentle and agile path, but that's not true."
Chapter 338 followed closely behind.
"No, that's not it." I ask you, what do you think I should do with that spear in my hand?
"The spear is always open, fierce and invincible, so we should take the path of hegemony and greatness," Ye Tiancheng said without hesitation.
"Ah, Ye Tiancheng, you can look!" Zhang Haomin suddenly exclaimed.
Suddenly, Zhang Hao's spear shot out like an arrow from the rope towards a large "213" tree in the garden. Zhang Haomin followed closely behind his flying body.
Just as the spear was about to pierce through the greenery of the tree, Zhang Haomin suddenly held firm, one hand gripping tightly, preventing the spear from advancing immediately. Then, Zhang Haomin's right hand, holding the end of the spear, moved very quickly, the spearhead shaking against the tree trunk with the same amplitude and frequency. However, upon closer inspection, the vibration directions of the spearhead and end were exactly opposite. The spear was in Nak's position, yet remained motionless, as if held and fixed there by an invisible hand.
The whole process didn't last long. Zhang Haomin suddenly pulled the spear back and then pressed it down. The spear "knocked" once, and the end of the spear stood on the ground. Zhang Haomin turned around and looked at the pistol.
"Uncle Zhang, what is this?" Ye Tiancheng asked suspiciously.
Zhang Haomin smiled and said, "Ye Tiancheng, you can come and take a look at this plot of land."
Ye Tiancheng immediately went over and smelled the speech manuscript, his eyes fixed on Shu Chen.
"Huh!? What is this?" Ye Tiancheng suddenly showed surprise, displaying an incredulous expression. I saw that the three characters "Ye Tiancheng" were clearly written on the tree trunk. The tree trunk wasn't pierced, but the handwriting shouldn't be too deep, appearing blurry.
"Uncle Zhang, is this what you wanted to tell me? Since I'm good at using a long spear to make such a gentle gesture, can the Qingling Sword also have a strong and domineering path?" Ye Tiancheng said to Zhang Hao-min when he suddenly understood Zhang Hao-min's intention.
"What do you think?" Zhang Hao-min smiled at Ye Tiancheng.
“Yes, thank you, Uncle Zhang,” he said. “Ye Tiancheng is clear-headed, but this Qingfeng Sword has already been practiced. Will it be difficult to find a powerful sword in the future?” Ye Tiancheng couldn’t help but think.
"Ye Tiancheng, this wind isn't just a gentle breeze!" Zhang Hao-min suddenly said to Ye Tiancheng, who was deep in thought, and then left the garden with a smile.
Ye Tiancheng's eyes suddenly lit up. "Yes, the wind is more than just a gentle breeze!"
Cheng Zhongxian wasn't idle either. Besides sending the children to school as usual, he would occasionally make flowers and treats to Ye Tiancheng... until Mr. Ye Tiancheng's activities began to cease.
At that moment, Sun Fu was dealing with some household chores for Li when he saw Cheng Zhongxian enter Li's house, so he quickly came to greet him.
“Mr. Qin, what are you doing here? Sir, he’s not home right now. He should be in the city.”
Cheng Zhongxian smiled and said to Sun Fu, "Fu Bao, I know, I didn't come to see my elder brother. I came here specifically to see Ye Tiancheng."
"Oh, alright then. The young master should be reading in the garden right now; the old slacker will go and call him." I'm going to the garden.
“Uncle Fu, don’t worry, I’ll go find him myself. You go about your business.” Cheng Zhongxian quickly stopped.
"Oh, then you can go," Sun Fu didn't insist; he knew Cheng Zhongxian was capable of everything.
Chapter 339 Thinkers
He doesn't like to bother others. More importantly, he has something on his hands.
As soon as Cheng Zhongxian arrived at the garden, he saw Ye Tiancheng standing there, staring blankly at a patch of chrysanthemums on a large tree. What kind of thinker was he?
"Ye Tiancheng, what is the mystery of this Chenzi that makes you so focused?" Cheng Zhongxian walked by, waking Ye Tiancheng from his meditation.
"Yes, Uncle!" Upon hearing Cheng Zhongxian's voice, Ye Tiancheng immediately returned to the scene before God, pointing at Shu Chen and telling Cheng Zhongxian one by one what Zhang Hao had said and done.
06 Oh? Cheng Zhongxian was slightly surprised, then said, "It seems this general isn't just from one generation." Ye Tiancheng, we'll discuss your swordsmanship later. I've come to see you this time for another matter.
"Another thing?" A small thought crossed Ye Tiancheng's mind. "Is Elbo talking about that beast, Zhao Yao?"
“Yes, it’s about the beast Xia Ao.” Cheng Zhongxian nodded, speaking confidently. “Although the beast Xia Ao is gone, your business isn’t over yet.”
"Hmm? Elbo, what do you think?" Ye Tiancheng was surprised when he heard this.
"As you asked at the beginning, this beast, Chao, came because of the illusion of Teya that you caused in the arena; that was just the fuse that ignited the fire." But the main reason is something that happened in Qingyuan Mountain, which is closely related to you and also closely related to the Teya Sword. "Cheng Zhongxian said solemnly.
"Is this closely related to the Teya sword?"
"So, Ye Tiancheng, do you think this is a sword?"
"What's missing? If nothing's missing, then it's the scabbard. Is that right? Does Erbao mean the scabbard?" Ye Tiancheng examined the Taiya sword carefully, muttering to himself.
"Nibo, do you mean the scabbard?"
When Cheng Zhongxian first gave the Taiya sword to Ye Tiancheng, it was in a box without a scabbard. Ye Tiancheng didn't care, assuming the sword was unsheathed. Later, Wang Huamin saw that the sword was extremely sharp and, worried that Ye Tiancheng might accidentally injure himself, spent a lot of money in the city to buy a fine scabbard for him. However, he didn't want to break the scabbard in half. Unable to bear the sword's excessive sharpness, he drew it himself. Seeing this, Ye Tiancheng became even more certain that the sword also lacked a scabbard. At this point, Cheng Zhongxian mentioned it, and then reflected on it.
“Yes, this is the sword sheath,” Cheng Zhongxian said. “You also want to know this—what is the connection between the Ala Sheath and this beast? One is a dead thing, and the other is a living beast; they can’t go together.”
"Yes, Second Uncle is as clear as God. Please ask him to explain his confusion to me." Ye Tiancheng was not one to run out of time to make a fuss over trivial matters. Although he had read many books, he was, after all, just a nine-year-old child.
"Hehe," Xu Mingyi's serious expression softened slightly as he smiled and continued, "I imagine you and this sword, which has been around for so long, must have witnessed the extraordinary nature of the katana." In fact, when the eunuch was first born to the master swordsmith Ou Chenzi, his strength was not commensurate, far inferior to his current abilities. However, after forging the Taiya sword, Master Ou said, "This sword is of nature, and no human can conceal it," so he didn't create a scabbard. At that time, there were also some famous swordsmiths who didn't believe in evil, and they attempted to forge the Taiya sword.
Chapter 340 The Idea of Creation
They tried to make scabbards, but without exception, they were all easily broken in two by the Tyrian sword. Therefore, the idea of creating a scabbard was abandoned. Then the Tyrian sword became a scabbardless sword. Cheng Zhongxian said, pausing to look at Ye Tiancheng with interest.
"So, what about the sword's scabbard?" Ye Tiancheng was also intrigued by Cheng Zhongxian's words. At his age, he was simply someone who enjoyed listening to stories. Naturally, he was full of interest. Furthermore, he didn't think the sword's origin was so extraordinary. This increased his interest in the story to come.
Seeing Ye Tiancheng's expression, Cheng Zhongxian smiled, not bothering to piss him off, and continued, "When the sword was born, princes of the world rose up, and each prince continued to fight, and a sword was born." Here, it is always for this sheathless sword that one person knows of. Cheng Zhongxian's face immediately softened, revealing a respectful expression.
"Yes! Who could have done this to Second Uncle?" Ye Tiancheng's expression changed as he looked at Cheng Zhongxian, his heart filled with darkness. However, he didn't ask the question; he knew Cheng Zhongxian would answer his confusion immediately.
Sure enough, Xu Mingyi didn't pause for long before continuing, "That person—won the title of government." Qin Shi Huang, Ying Zheng, swept away the princes and nobles of the time with unparalleled power, unified the country, and established the unprecedentedly powerful Qin Dynasty. When he officially ascended the throne, someone placed the Sword of Taiya on Qin Shi Huang's person. Qin Huang was very satisfied with the sword, but it was a pity that it was unsheathed; he was a perfectionist.
So he found Oiko, hoping he could make a scabbard for the Teya sword. But Europe really couldn't do anything and would tell Qin Huang the original reason. The emperor heard the emperor's words and laughed loudly, saying to Oiko, "This sword has become all alone, sweeping across all nations, this is also heaven, loneliness means heaven. I say this sword should have a scabbard, it must have a scabbard. Only you seven, if it still doesn't have a scabbard, if it still doesn't have a scabbard, then take this sword back to heaven. Those who go against their own will have no reason to live in this world." After that, he did not clash with the son of Europe, so he ordered him to retreat.
Seeing Qin Shi Huang's tyranny, Chen Zi of Europe, though not angry, could do nothing. He knew that after Qin Shi Huang swept through the land, his royal spirit could indeed suppress a sword, but the world could not bear such a spirit, and besides, the scabbard was impossible to obtain. Seeing this, his disciples and friends urged him to flee, but he sighed and said, "Now Qin Shi Huang is too powerful; this is all underground. Where can I escape? Even if I bring back the sword of Taiya, it will be worth a lifetime of sword-throwing." His disciples, friends, and relatives viewed him this way, but it was none of his concern.
In an instant, the European sword Chen Zi and the Taiya sword were placed in Xingtai, the capital of Qin, and the emperor personally escorted them into the palace. Countless sword lovers came from the stage to see them off. At the command of Qin Shi Huang, the execution began. Suddenly, the swords roared fiercely, emitting a magnificent light that no one present could see. The blades were drawn three inches from their sheaths, humming incessantly. The executioner had to stop.
Upon seeing this, the emperor angrily shouted, "This evil sword dares to defy the will of solitude! Only the Heavenly King is left alone, dying all alone. How can you let it go here?" As he spoke, he saw Qin Huang's body move swiftly.
Chapter 341 The Giant Sphere of Light
A ray of light, until it reached the Great Sword, immediately suppressed the magnificent light of the sword, gradually bringing Weng Ming to a stop. When the person carrying out the judgment saw the situation, he moved again.
Just as everyone in the room was feeling sad, a loud rumbling sound suddenly came from the sky. We all looked up and our expressions changed abruptly. There, a huge sphere of light appeared, making a tremendous noise, heading straight for the execution platform. Twelve streaks of light danced around the sphere. Before anyone could react, they were quickly thrown onto the execution platform. Suddenly, a burst of white light erupted above the platform, a hundred times stronger than before, but without causing any damage. After the white light dissipated, the crowd immediately looked towards the execution platform and saw a long sword silently embedded in the intact platform, but the master swordsmith, Ou Chenzi, was nowhere to be seen.
Green trees, verdant hills, birds singing, birds flying. Through the layers of the canopy, dappled sunlight falls on the forest floor. A winding but not narrow path stretches forward, disappearing into the distance among the trees.
With a "knock," an unknown fruit quickly fell from the treetop and rolled lightly to the roadside. Suddenly, two squirrels, seemingly appearing out of nowhere, darted towards the fallen fruit, vying for it, but neither could do anything about it.
At the same time, the two squirrels suddenly stopped, and the man stood up, his ears perked up. Looking intently towards the end of the path, he quickly picked up the unknown fruit, ran into the roadside bushes, and in the blink of an eye, leaped onto the trunk of a large tree. He then swiftly tossed the fruit into the bushes, boldly watching the end of the path.
After a while, the sound of unsteady footsteps and the rumble of cars came from the path. Then, the silhouettes of two large and one small figures were reflected in the squirrel's eyes. Only two of them were clearly visible, with broad shoulders and powerful builds, walking along the path in a tiger-like manner. The other two were much smaller than the other two; they were still children, wearing scholar's crowns, white shirts, one foot in Nie's shoes, and a cold lightsaber hanging at their waists. These three were Wang Huamin, Zhang Haomin, and Ye Tiancheng. Closely following them was a long line of goods, like a swarm of moving ants winding down the shady path leading to the new city.
When Rui Xumingyi told Ye Tiancheng about the Taiya sword sheath and how it would lead to the attack on Qingyuan Town, it was precisely because Ye Tiancheng's Taiya image in the arena resonated with the sheath. As for why the Taiya sword sheath reacted this way, Cheng Zhongxian couldn't explain it either. Cheng Zhongxian did not answer Ye Tiancheng's questions about why the Tai'an sword was behaving this way today, or why the sheath and sword had separated and ended up in the possession of Prince Huamin of Qing.
While marveling at the sheath's many origins, Ye Tiancheng also worried that it might trigger the beast armor again, preventing it from fully recovering. He knew he had to start sheathing it immediately. Cheng Zhongxian had told him that to completely eliminate the threat of the oracle bone script, the sheath had to be removed, and the only person in the world capable of collecting sheaths was the Teya swordsman, the true Teya swordsman.
Cheng Zhongxian was trying to stop him from coming down, saying that while the matter shouldn't be ignored, it didn't need to be rushed. This trip into the mountains wasn't easy, and going in under these conditions was unwise; there wouldn't be many more wild animals attacking in the short term. Ye Tiancheng's injuries had lessened. Just then, the townspeople...
Chapter 342 Harvest Complete
After Xia Ao finished harvesting the beast, he prepared to go to the city to deal with it. Ye Tiancheng requested to accompany him to the new city. Li Yuan-ming believed that there were no problems with his movements and that he was recovering well, so he agreed to take him along.
"Father, I know this is a way of selling goods in Qingyuan Town. Have you ever been robbed?" Ye Tiancheng asked Wang Huamin while looking at the scenery along the way. He had read a lot about Green Forest in his books; there were no evil bandits, but there were countless rich and poor people who robbed each other.
"Ah, Ye Tiancheng, you don't know, don't look at this road, you really don't have the courage to rob the people of Qingyuan Town." Before Wang Huamin could speak, Zhang Haomin's side quickly caught her. Wang Huamin was robbed clean, but she didn't show any dissatisfaction. Instead, she glanced at it casually and continued walking.
"Oh? Uncle Zhang, what do you think?" Ye Tiancheng immediately became interested, after all, this was their own business, and it sounded like a two-faced person.
"You don't know, your Qingyuan Town is remote, but it's a household name in the New City." First, the New City brings mountain games and some herbs from your Qingyuan Town. If you were robbed, it would affect the city's needs, so the New City has to protect its few people. Second, every time you come to Qingyuan Town to do business, a portion of your income goes to the poor in the city. And the people of your Qingyuan Town are ancient, and countless people in the martial arts world have been favored by your Qingyuan Town. If you wait to be robbed, it will definitely arouse the dissatisfaction of the righteous people who have received your town's favor, and no one dares to offend you." Zhang Hao-min explained to Ye Tiancheng with a smile.
"Oh? So, I just don't understand why this Li Yuan-Ming of the Qing Dynasty possessed such abundant wealth. Didn't anyone else come to the mountains to hunt and supply the new town, but Qingyuan Town was the only one I had in my entire life?"
Zhang Hao-min glanced at Li Yuan-ming casually, then slowly uttered a sentence: "Because of this Qingyuan Mountain, only the people of your Qingyuan Town can hunt safely inside."
*
The people in the mountains were physically strong, and the soldiers in the city were also very hardworking, so their physical condition was naturally excellent. This group didn't rush, and by evening they saw the gates of the new city, ending a journey that would normally take at least two days.
Ye Tiancheng and the others believed that Rui Rui's fall, the tilting of the city wall, and the red light connecting the entire gate of the city wall, all gave a sense of tragic grandeur, making the ending somewhat strange. However, this feeling was subjective, so Ye Tiancheng didn't feel anything strange at the moment. He felt that the new city gave him a sense of vitality, like the light that shone on the wall that night, not the twilight of a young person. But it was a dormant signal, accumulating something, waiting for a bright explosion.

"Mayor Zhang, you're here to sell things again." The guards spotted the large convoy from afar and knew it was the escort team from Qingyuan Town. Wang Huamin quickly greeted them as she approached.
“Oh yes, Wang Wei, this is your duty for today. Your mouth thinks time should also be born. Here, take this wild boar leg and this money back to your wife to make up for it.” Li Yuan-ming saw the guard coming over, smiled, and took out a wild boar leg and some silver threads from him.
"Chief Zhang, you've given me some more things. No need. My salary is enough to cover my family's expenses," the soldier said, waving his hand.
"Take it, take it. Your family used to work with your wife to earn money, but now your wife doesn't have time to support the family."
