Traveling Through the Heavens: Intercepting Duan Yu at the Beginning

"Brother Zuo, you must see clearly!"

After completing the unique sword technique, Fade Chen threw the sword in his hand to Captain Zuo and asked with a smile.

"Brother Chen, you...what exactly are your strengths?"

"Also, you and I are not related in any way, so why do you want to teach me this set of swordsmanship?" Captain Zuo asked after hesitating for a while!

The swordsmanship that Fade Chen had just displayed seemed to be deeply engraved in his mind. He remembered every move and every form so clearly. Zuo Qianhu knew that this must have been the work of Fade Chen.

"There are not many people who appreciate me."

"Brother Zuo, although you may be a bit foolishly loyal, you are a rare hero. The court needs people like you to restore order, and the people need people like you to uphold justice for them."

“But sometimes, you just have to be strong enough to do it.”

"So, if I help you, it's like helping the people!"

Hearing this, Captain Zuo nodded deeply, then he lifted his clothes and was about to kneel down in front of Fade Chen: "Brother Chen, please teach me a set of peerless martial arts. I will be your half-master. Please accept my respect!"

However, Captain Zuo felt that his body was blocked by a force and he could not kneel down no matter what.

"Come on, what's the point of being a teacher or not? You and I should be friends."

"I have many more martial arts like this. If you are interested, I can teach you all of them!"

Fade Chen waved his hand and said nonchalantly!

Finally, after much persuasion from Chen Fei, Captain Zuo gave up the idea of ​​calling Chen Fei a half-master.

The two of them found a nearby town and had a good meal at the best restaurant there.

However, when the bill finally came, it was Chen Fei who paid. The silver that Zuo Qianhu had on him had already been given to the farmer, and at this moment his pockets were cleaner than his face.

Since Captain Zuo still had official duties to attend to, the two parted ways in the city.

Before leaving, Captain Zuo gave Chen Fei a token. With this token, he could mobilize officials below the sixth rank at will.

"The Minister of War, Fu Tianchou, has not been falsely accused and is still serving in the court, indicating that the timeline of the second part has not yet begun."

"I just heard that Guobei County seems to be under the jurisdiction of this city. If I remember correctly, Lanruo Temple is located on the outskirts of Guobei County."

"I don't know if Ning Caichen has met Yan Chixia, but since I have nothing to do, I might as well go and see what's going on."

"It just so happens that my martial arts foundation of the Zhenwu Du'e Sutra is extremely solid, but my immortal path is relatively weak. I currently only have one copy of the Shangqing Dadong Sutra."

"If we can get our hands on the immortal path that Yan Chixia has cultivated, we can use it as a reference!"

With this in mind, Fade Chen asked someone for the direction of Guobei County, and then slowly walked towards it.

This time, he did not use any Qinggong skills, but traveled like an ordinary person.

Along the way, Chen Fei saw a lot of unfair things. Some of them Chen Fei did not intervene, but for some things that he really couldn't stand, he would secretly help.

There were even some short-sighted thieves and robbers who set their sights on him. To this, Chen Fei could only say: "Be more careful in your next life!"

The journey lasted five days, until this day, when the stone tablet of Guobei County came into view.

"Here we are, but I don't know what Yan Chixia's strength will be."

"Through Yan Chixia, I should be able to know the general combat power situation of this world. This will determine whether I can move forward with my own strength or keep a low profile for the time being!" Chen Fei couldn't help but laugh at himself!

However, not long after walking, a figure appeared in Chen Fei's eyes.

A scholar about twenty years old, with a handsome appearance, carrying a bamboo basket bag on his back.

"This can't be..."

Chen Fei's heart moved, thinking that it couldn't be such a coincidence.

But after thinking about it, he took a few quick steps to the other side and said, "Brother, hurry up!"

Chen Fei greeted the other party with a smile. The scholar was very wary at first, but when he felt the Confucian aura from Chen Fei, he couldn't help but get closer to him.

"Yes, brother is on his way too!"

The meaningless conversation was as if walking on the road not to travel but to watch a show.

"Haha, my name is Chen Fei, I'm a scholar, I don't know how to address you, brother!"

Chen Fei showed a kind smile on his face. Seeing this scholar, he also smiled slightly and said, "My name is Ning Caichen!"

Chapter 252: Undead Knight Ning Caichen

"It sure is him!"

Chen Fei understood in his heart that apart from Ning Caichen, he really couldn't think of any other scholar who dared to travel alone in this chaotic world.

There are three people that Chen Fei admires the most, one is Dong Yong, one is Xu Xian, and the other is Ning Caichen.

Dong Yong became an immortal with his mortal body, Xu Xian was not afraid of people and animals but he could kill snakes, and the Ning Caichen in front of him was even braver, he dared to kill ghosts!

He doesn't even let ghosts go, he's a beast...

The real Undead Knight Ning Caichen!

"Brother, why are you here alone in this chaotic world?"

"You don't seem to be heading towards the capital, and now is not the time to go to the capital to take the exam." Chen Fei asked knowingly!

"Please forgive me for laughing at you, brother. To be honest, I'm short of money, so I found a job as an accountant in my hometown to support myself."

"I've come to Guobei County to collect debts for my boss!"

Ning Caichen smiled shyly, obviously feeling a little embarrassed.

As a scholar, he is willing to become a subordinate of a businessman, and even runs around collecting money for others. This is really a disgrace to scholars.

"So that's how it is. Although Brother Ning's family is in financial difficulty, he has great ambitions. Besides filling his stomach with sage books, he can also support himself and find a job."

"With such an unyielding will, Brother Ning will surely become a great man in the future!"

Look, this is the art of speaking. If you turn things upside down, it will sound completely different to others.

Ning Caichen looked at Chen Fei with gratitude. Although he was a weak scholar, he was not stupid.

Chen Fei deliberately saved his face when speaking, even praising him. Ning Caichen naturally knew what was right and wrong.

"Brother Ning, I have nothing to do, and the world is extremely chaotic. Why don't you and I travel together so that we can look after each other!"

Faced with Chen Fei's invitation, Ning Caichen naturally agreed with pleasure.

For some reason, Chen Fei gave him an extremely comfortable aura, which made Ning Caichen want to get closer to him.

Ning Caichen couldn't describe what this feeling was. It was like... just like when he was facing his great scholar teacher in school.

However, Chen Fei's temperament seemed to be more solid than that of his great teacher.

So, the two of them continued on their journey together, and Ning Caichen kept talking to Chen Fei along the way.

But soon, Ning Caichen discovered that Chen Fei knew everything.

He thought he was well-versed in the Four Books and Five Classics, and that even taking the imperial examination would be easy.

However, facing Chen Fei, Ning Caichen felt that all his years of studying had been in vain.

Whether it was the Four Books and Five Classics, astronomy and geography, or even various Taoist and Buddhist scriptures, he could speak fluently.

It was as if there was nothing in this world that he didn't know.

"Brother Chen, you are truly a scholar. Ning Caichen admires you immensely!"

At this moment, Ning Caichen turned into a little fanboy, and his eyes were full of admiration when he looked at Chen Fei.

In Ning Caichen's opinion, if Chen Fei was willing to take the imperial examination, he would easily get the top spot, and becoming a general or a prime minister in the future would be inevitable.

However, Chen Fei had no intention of serving the court, which made Ning Caichen feel very sorry.

"Don't be discouraged. You are quite talented. If you take part in the imperial examination, you will surely achieve great success."

Chen Fei patted Ning Caichen on the shoulder and said with a hint of encouragement.

Rumble...

Suddenly, there was a muffled thunder in the sky, and large dark clouds gathered above everyone's heads. The moisture in the air became extremely thick.

Apparently, it's going to rain hard!

"Hiss, there's a thundercloud!"

Chen Fei's eyes lit up, and the thunder moving above his head made Chen Fei lick the corner of his mouth.

After looking at Ning Caichen beside him, Fade Chen moved and disappeared. When he appeared again, he had already arrived in the thundercloud.

"Brother Chen, it looks like it's going to rain heavily. Should we... eh?"

Ning Caichen kept on talking, but when he turned around, he found that Chen Fei had disappeared without a trace.

"Strange, where did Brother Chen go?"

Ning Caichen showed a hint of suspicion in his eyes. He wanted to turn around and look for Chen Fei, but as thunder exploded above his head, raindrops as big as beans fell on his face.

"Oh no, it's raining!"

Ning Caichen's face was filled with panic. As the raindrops got heavier, he no longer cared about looking for Chen Fei's whereabouts. He held the bamboo basket behind him to his chest and ran forward frantically.

There was nothing valuable in the bamboo basket. The only precious thing was the account book.

Fortunately, Ning Caichen saw a pavilion not far away. Although the pavilion looked a little shabby due to years of disrepair, it was still a place to shelter from the wind and rain.

Ning Caichen ran in, all wet. He straightened his wet clothes, but his stomach was rumbling at an inopportune time.

Touching his hungry stomach, Ning Caichen took out a steamed bun as hard as a rock from his backpack. He tried to bite it a few times, but he couldn't break it no matter what he did.

Even when Ning Caichen used a stone to hit a steamed bun, the stone shattered into pieces.

In anger, Ning Caichen kicked the steamed bun away, but this kick also tore his already worn shoes.

Looking at the shoes with toes exposed, Ning Caichen couldn't help but feel like crying.

"Escape, escape!"

Just as Ning Caichen was feeling sad with his hungry stomach, a flurry of footsteps came from not far away.

Following the sound, I saw seven or eight men running towards me in panic, holding swords in their hands. They were obviously people from the underworld.

"not good!"

Ning Caichen was startled, thinking he had encountered robbers. He subconsciously looked for a place to hide, but there was no other hiding place outside the pavilion except the pouring rain.

"Humph, you want to leave? Dream on!"

Another voice sounded, and behind the crowd, a middle-aged man with a short beard moved like lightning and quickly caught up with the people in front.

The long sword in his hand flashed with sword shadows, and in the blink of an eye, all those people were killed.

The blood of one of them even splashed on Ning Caichen's face, which made him turn pale.

After killing these people, the middle-aged swordsman turned and walked into the pavilion. Ning Caichen hurriedly dodged with the bamboo basket, obviously not wanting to provoke the other party.

"Hmm? Haha!"

Seeing Ning Caichen's behavior, the middle-aged swordsman just glanced at him, then shook his head and smiled, and took out some dry food from his arms and started eating.

Gululu...

A thunderous voice was heard, and it was the hungry Ning Caichen.

After smelling the fragrance of the steamed bun in the swordsman's hand, Ning Caichen was already drooling.

"Give!"

The middle-aged swordsman was quite generous. He picked up a steamed bun from the package, threw it to Ning Caichen, and then ignored him.

Ning Caichen took it in a hurry. He looked at the swordsman warily, then swallowed his saliva and looked at the fragrant steamed bun in his hand with longing on his face. In the end, he couldn't help but take a bite.

Chapter 253: Defeat Xia Hou with One Move

Ning Caichen shivered while eating this meal. The buns were clearly fragrant white flour buns, but they didn't have much flavor in his mouth.

Ning Caichen was always on guard against the middle-aged swordsman, who killed several people in front of him without blinking an eye. If it weren't for the heavy rain outside, Ning Caichen really wanted to run away.

At this moment, a few rays of sunlight suddenly appeared in the sky, which was originally covered with dark clouds and thunder.

The sun shone and the heavy rain slowly stopped. The middle-aged swordsman looked up in surprise. The way the heavy rain stopped was a little too strange.
