We are from the future ark

He answered subconsciously, but the voice that suddenly rang in his ear was too familiar, so Chen Qi subconsciously looked over, and when he waved his hand, he shouted: "Chi Xiao——"

"No, no, no, I'm already an old man, please don't bother with this."

However, before Chen Qi could finish his words, Wei Yanwu, who had appeared behind Chen Qi at some point, waved his hand. With a pipe in his hand, he no longer had the aura of a ruler of Longmen, but looked like an ordinary citizen strolling around the street.

"My dear boy from the future, I didn't hear much of what you just said, but if you don't believe me, there's nothing I can do."

"If you don't mind, please talk to me, an old man. Maybe I, an old man, can help you, a young man, solve your problems."

Chapter 24: Blackmailing Lao Wei

"...To be honest, I don't really trust you, Lao Wei."

On the roof, Chen Qi looked at Old Wei in front of him, who looked calm and relaxed, holding the pipe that he almost never put down. After a long while, he finally said something from his heart.

Wei Yanwu... To be honest, Chen Qi really didn't trust Wei Yanwu, no matter when he was growing up in Lungmen as a child, or when he later came to Rhodes Island and accepted the displaced Wei Yanwu at that time, even when Old Wei was really at the end of his rope, Chen Qi never completely trusted the other party.

Chen Qi knew very well that Lao Wei was a politician, and a politician in his bones. It was impossible for Chen Qi to be completely open to such a person.

Even when Old Wei was really penniless and had to come to Chen Qi for help, he was still trying to improve his status in Rhodes Island. For example, the marriage between him and Wei Siyue, which had caused quite a stir at the time, was a case in point.

Unfortunately, neither Wei Siyue nor Chen Qi wanted to make themselves victims of politics. Although looking back, there seemed to be many happy marriages, such as the case of Old Wei and Princess Wenyue, the two of them still did not like others to decide their marriages.

It’s not that they don’t like each other, it’s just that they are not that suitable for each other.

In fact, after saying so much, to put it bluntly, Lao Wei is a guy with too many crooked ways and very little sincerity, which also makes Chen Qi really distrust Lao Wei.

Rhodes Island no longer needs another politician. There is never too many people who are willing to sacrifice themselves for their ideals, or who have abilities and beliefs. However, Chen Qi has never liked politicians, even though he is strictly speaking a politician of Rhodes Island.

"...Why do the younger generations dislike me, their elder, so much these days?"

However, Chen Qi's words made Lao Wei a little depressed. He took a deep breath and said helplessly:

"That girl is the same, and so are you, kid. Did I do something that is infuriating to heaven and man? Why are you so disgusted with me?"

"It's not that I dislike you, Old Wei. People like us will naturally feel disgusted with people like you." Chen Qi shook his head and said lightly:

"This world forces people to become what they once hated. I hate politicians, but I am also a politician now. I may not be qualified to criticize you."

"Are you judging by deeds instead of heart? I probably did a lot of things that went against my conscience." Old Wei shook his head, as if he remembered something from the past, and took a deep breath:

"Now that I think about it, what I did back then was against my conscience. I thought I could do justice to Longmen, but now it seems... I didn't seem to protect anything."

"…Fortunately, thanks to you youngsters, I didn't make the same mistake again."

As he said this, Old Wei's pupils suddenly changed, and he noticed some changes in the look in his eyes when he looked at Chen Qi. It seemed that there was a bit more of the same loving expression in his eyes as when he looked at Wei Siyue.

"Speaking of which, you are the child raised by Xiao Chen and Xiao Ta, and I am Xiao Chen's uncle. Shouldn't you call me Grandpa Uncle?"

"You wish, Old Wei." Chen Qi was slightly stunned when he heard this, and then immediately said with a look of disdain:

"My mother told me, 'Just treat everything Lao Wei says as bullshit.' I will remember this for the rest of my life."

"...Xiao Chen, this sounds like something she would say."

Old Wei didn't know whether to laugh or cry when he heard this. He knew a little about the future, but knew nothing about the details. He was helpless about this unexpected disaster when he found out that his future treatment would not improve at all, but would become even more disgusting.

"...By the way, Xiao Chen and Shi Huaiya just called me. I have suppressed the situation for now. You don't have to worry."

"But I didn't expect that you actually interacted with this guy."

"——You actually know her?" Chen Qi was stunned when he heard that, and couldn't help but look at Lao Wei with almost curiosity. This guy actually knows "Nian"?

"I know a little bit." Old Wei nodded and replied while smoking, "When I was in Yan Country, I read a lot of ancient books, and I have some understanding of some very mysterious things."

"As for this person...I met him once when I was young, and it left a deep impression on me."

As he said this, Old Wei seemed to recall some bad memories and shuddered unconsciously all over. Then he looked at Chen Qi and revealed a mysterious smile.

"Boy, you are so lucky. You can even get involved with a woman like this. You really have some skills."

"…What are you talking about, Lao Wei?"

"Haha, don't hide it. Everyone has a young time." Old Wei also showed a strange expression when he heard it. He smoked a cigarette and looked at the red dragon gate, and smiled:

"Youth is a waste of love. Looking at you reminds me of my youth. I was just like you back then, surrounded by beautiful girls, but in the end..."

"..." Suddenly, Old Wei paused while speaking, and couldn't help but look at Chen Qi beside him. He met Chen Qi's subtle and teasing eyes.

"...Don't go and tell Wen Yue and Xiao Wei about this."

"That's none of your business. I'm not a resident of Longmen, and Chief Wei Yanwu, the ruler of Longmen, can't control me."

"Don't do that, kid." Old Wei smiled bitterly and said awkwardly:

"Just because of Xiao Wei, I was already in trouble. I had a hard time explaining it to him. If you do it again, you want to make me lose my old bones, right?"

"Besides, you have no evidence, and even if you say that, Wen Yue won't—"

"Beep." A sudden sound made Lao Wei pause. Chen Qi took out something that looked like a pen from the pocket of his red coat and turned it in front of Lao Wei.

"As a politician, you have to have the habit of recording everything with you, Lao Wei. You taught me that."

"...Okay, I admit defeat."

Old Wei was also amused by Chen Qi, who was much younger than him. Although he was very angry, he could do nothing about it. He had let his guard down too much and did not expect to be plotted against by his own family.

This kid... really is worthy of being raised by Xiao Chen, he looks so much like him.

As if recalling the days when he was always on tenterhooks in Yan Country, Lao Wei took a puff of cigarette and said to Chen Qi:

"Tell me, what do you want to squeeze out of my old bones? Let me make it clear first, you can't go against my principles, and don't force me. I'm an old man and can't stand it."

"Well...I haven't thought about it yet."

Chen Qi put away the recorder in his hand, but he was troubled by this topic. He just recorded it subconsciously. He had no intention of blackmailing Lao Wei, but just wanted to keep this thing in his hand, maybe it would be a bargaining chip.

But Old Wei was about to fulfill his promise, and Chen Qi couldn't think of what he could extort from Old Wei at the moment.

Cooperation with the Integration Movement? Even if Chen Qi didn't say this, Chen would have discussed it with Lao Wei. Moreover, even for Tallulah's sake, Lao Wei had to do it well.

Rhodes Island? This is already a done deal. Now the relationship between Longmen and Rhodes Island is as solid as wearing the same pants.

No, no, Chen Qi, think about it carefully. This is a rare opportunity to blackmail Old Wei. I have to think about how to peel off the skin of this old dragon...

"——Okay, don't think about it, I know what's better for you."

Old Wei suddenly spoke, interrupting Chen Qi's thoughts. After shaking his head, Old Wei pointed at Chen Qi with the pipe in his hand and said:

"Boy, you may face more dangers in the future. If you don't strengthen yourself, you will be in trouble."

"I taught Xiao Chen swordsmanship, but she hasn't mastered it yet. Today I will teach you my best skills so that you can improve your swordsmanship to a higher level."

Chapter 25: Two sets of "sword techniques" taught by Lao Wei

"Red Sky Sword Technique?"

Chen Qi finally heard something that he was very interested in, and his eyes couldn't help but light up slightly.

What Lao Wei said was right. As the captain of the "Noah's Team" of the Future Ark, Chen Qi and his team will definitely encounter more dangerous situations in the future than they have ever experienced. At that time, what will be tested is not only everyone's strategy and temporary reaction ability, but also a great reliance on their own hard power.

Fighting is inevitable. Even if they are a decapitation operation team, it is difficult to avoid high-intensity combat. At this time, solid hard power is the most stable reliance.

Comrades with stable performance and strong strength are a very solid backing for every action. Chen Qi knows this very well.

"Yes, it is the Scarlet Sky Sword Technique."

Old Wei nodded. Seeing Chen Qi showing such an expression of interest, which was rare, he was quite pleased. After nodding for a while, he said to Chen Qi:

"The power of the Scarlet Sky Sword Technique is astonishing. Those who are not at a deep level can use the Scarlet Sky Sword as a medium to force out the power of the dragon blood in the Scarlet Sky Sword to cause damage. The power is still quite good."

"However, those who have reached a high level of realm can comprehend the essence of it and reach the realm where swordlessness is better than sword-wielding. Even if there is no sword in hand, every move and gesture still has the sword energy of Scarlet Sky."

"Xiao Chen, although she has good talent, her current realm is still shallow. However, according to her talent, she can probably find some thresholds."

"But, even so, Xiao Chen still can't fully comprehend the Scarlet Sky Sword Technique."

"Why?" Chen Qi couldn't help but ask. Chen had great talent, but Lao Wei actually said that Chen could not surpass his level, which made Chen Qi a little puzzled.

"——Because she is a woman."

However, Old Wei shook his head upon hearing this, and said with regret: "The Chixiao Sword Technique is the Dragon-Slaying Sword Technique that the Great Ancestor learned when he killed the white snake. The white snake has the appearance of turning into a dragon. Although it was killed, it still has dragon blood."

"Snake blood is Yin, but dragon blood is pure Yang. The Scarlet Sky Sword Technique has 108 moves, but only 72 moves are left when it was passed down to the current emperor. The current emperor of Yan Country is not good at martial arts, so when it came to me and my brother, we only have 36 moves left."

"However, of these thirty-six moves, eighteen are for men's swords, so I only taught Xiao Chen the other eighteen moves."

"The incomplete Scarlet Heaven Sword Art... Even if Xiao Chen is very talented, unless she can comprehend her own Scarlet Heaven Sword Art from the only eighteen styles, otherwise, her realm will never reach my level."

Lao Wei's words left Chen Qi speechless. He wanted to refute, but he couldn't find any point to refute.

Chen Qi's swordsmanship was taught to him by Chen when he was a child. Chen Qi's swordsmanship was completely from Chen. Chen taught Chen Qi the swordsmanship that she had practiced for so many years without reservation. In the end, she was constrained from reaching the peak because of such a reason.

...I felt a little bit that it wasn't worth it for Chen, however, this reason made it impossible for Chen Qi to say the words of blame.

"I thought that my set of Chixiao swordsmanship would be lost, but since you have encountered it, I will teach you my set of swordsmanship."

"Boy, you have a heavy burden on your shoulders. The greater the responsibility, the greater the ability. People without ability cannot bear greater responsibilities."

"I am passing this set of Scarlet Sky Swordsmanship to you now so that you can take on the tasks that the rest of us cannot complete."

Old Wei said this, put away his pipe, looked at Chen Qi in front of him, and said lightly:

"Boy, give me Chi Xiao."

"Today, I will show you how heroic I was as an old man!"

……

It has to be said that the thirty-six moves of the Chixiao sword technique, even in the hands of Lao Wei, only thirty-six moves are left, but one can still feel the sharpness of the legendary sword technique that can slay dragons.

If the Chi Xiao swordsmanship in the past was as fierce as a cheetah, then the Chi Xiao swordsmanship in Lao Wei's hands was like a tiger coming down the mountain, with every sword strike carrying sharpness, murderous intent, and slaughter.

These are only thirty-six moves, and combined with the previous eighteen moves, they have far exceeded Chen Qi's limit.

If... Chen Qi could learn the seventy-two moves, or the long-lost complete one hundred and eight moves of the Chixiao sword technique of the Yan Kingdom, then slaying a dragon might not be such a fantasy.

It is not a dragon of the Terra race, but a real dragon of the fantasy species level. An existence of that level can no longer be described as a natural disaster, but a true "god" that is above all things!

Of course, these are all wishful thinking. The fantasy species no longer exist on the Terra continent, and even the races with true dragon blood are almost extinct. There are only so many Chixiao sword techniques left, and slaying a dragon is out of the question.

Old Wei performed a set of moves himself first, and then Chi Xiao returned to Chen Qi's hands. Relying on his memory and the familiarity brought by the other eighteen moves, Chen Qi quickly imitated the thirty-six moves of Chi Xiao swordsmanship.

"Well, you learn very quickly. Your talent is no worse than Xiao Chen's."

Old Wei nodded in satisfaction after hearing this, and praised him in a rare moment, saying, "When I was your age, I was probably only 60% as strong as you are now. Now that you have learned the 36-style Scarlet Sky Sword Technique, I believe that in a while, your realm will be taken to a higher level."

"Of course, the premise is to practice diligently. Kung Fu is like sailing against the current. If you don't move forward, you will fall behind."

“…I’ve learned your lesson, Old Wei.”

This time, Chen Qi did not challenge Lao Wei again. Instead, he saluted Lao Wei with great appreciation, using the very traditional Yan country's fist-clasping and bowing gesture, and bowed slightly.

"Don't thank me yet, you haven't finished learning yet."

However, after receiving this gift, Old Wei did not rush to do anything. Instead, he waved at Chen Qi, showed Chen Qi a very inexplicable smile, and said:

"Boy, even though I may look a little bit frivolous right now, I still have to say it, and I am very serious about it."

"——You are destined to have a romantic relationship, and I feel that you are doomed to have a romantic relationship."

"Old Wei, you..."

"Stop, don't interrupt me yet, just listen to me." However, before Chen Qi could speak, Old Wei interrupted Chen Qi with a wave of his hand and said calmly:

"I'm not saying this without basis. Even though it may sound a little weird to you, I do know a thing or two about fate."

"You are not even 30 yet, and you are surrounded by beautiful women. You should be lucky in love, but you are involved in too many things and have too many concerns. You are only a few years old, and you have five or six women around you."

"If you can control it, that's good, but if you can't... you will die at the hands of a woman."

"Besides, I can see that you have a character that makes you worry all the time. I'm afraid you will provoke women even more in the future. If you don't think of a solution... hehe."

At the end, Old Wei stopped talking. Instead, he took a puff of cigarette, looked at Chen Qi's slightly hesitant expression, and then said:

"But you don't have to be so anxious, I have a simple method."

As he spoke, Lao Wei suddenly waved at Chen Qi mysteriously, motioning him to come over. Although Chen Qi was a little confused, he still went over after hesitating for a moment.
