Chapter 17 My Dog Can Do Backflips
Ximen Changhai's reputation is very "powerful"!
Upon hearing Xu Qingya shift the blame to Ximen Changhai, Yang Yan subconsciously thought of the complete information transmission route.
Yang Yan's disguise could fool others, but it couldn't fool her master, Abbess Lei Yin, the head of Guantao Pavilion.
Master Leiyin and Ximen Changhai were close friends. Worried that Ximen Changhai would be alone and vulnerable when he went abroad, she told her disciple his disguise so that he could seek help if he encountered danger.
Linglong Pavilion deals in intelligence. For martial arts heroes, accurate and timely intelligence is a crucial factor in determining victory or defeat during fierce battles.
Ximen Changhai was worried that Xu Qingya was young and impetuous, and did not know how to restrain himself. He thought that if he won a series of battles, he would become arrogant and complacent, and eventually suffer a setback. So he left him a way out.
Each step is connected.
Why did Xu Qingya recognize Yang Yan as his "senior sister" after only one glance at each other when they first met?
Why did Xu Qingya readily agree when Yang Yan asked him for help in dealing with the Giant Whale Gang?
Now, all of this has an answer.
The most logical, common-sense, and reasonable answer!
It cannot be said that Yang Yan's reasoning is wrong, but rather that based on the existing conditions, these are the only conclusions that can be drawn. Reasoning is based on logic, reason, and life experience.
Xu Qingya was precisely the "exception".
"Junior brother, since you know everything, I won't hide it from you anymore. My situation is very dangerous."
"What danger?"
"When Mr. Zhuge announced that he would retire from the martial arts world and focus on politics, no longer participating in martial arts affairs, the position of spear leader became vacant, attracting countless people to compete for it."
My aunt Yang Miaozhen was one of the strongest contenders for the position of martial arts master of Linglong Pavilion. But unexpectedly, a guy named Li Ruohai suddenly appeared out of nowhere.
My aunt was defeated and is recuperating in some remote mountain forest. I only know that she is not dead and is doing something important, so it is inconvenient for her to contact me for the time being.
Do you understand?
Yang Yan leaned gently against Xu Qingya's chest.
From the moment their duel ended, the two maintained this posture. Xu Qingya felt comfortable, Yang Yan felt at ease, and Tang Dun'er watched the drama unfold on the sidelines.
Doubao can fall asleep anywhere, but Tangdun prefers her own little nest. She keeps watching from a distance until the two of them finish fighting, then goes to sleep in her little nest.
Xu Qingya said, "I don't understand!"
Yang Yan said, "Among the three major martial arts forces in the capital, the Golden Wind and Fine Rain Pavilion has extensive connections in the imperial court and excellent relations with the upright officials. It can be said to have the advantage of being 'noble'."
The Six and a Half Hall was originally a group of roughnecks in the martial arts world. Since Lei Sun promoted Di Feijing to be the head of the hall, he was determined to reform and set up golden rules that everyone from top to bottom must abide by.
The Six and a Half Hall has twenty-one branch halls, controls thirty to forty small sects, and hundreds of shops.
These branch halls, sects, and shops hand over 35% of their profits to the main hall. In times of crisis, the main hall will contribute 65% of its strength and will never breach its contract.
Lei Sun personally moved a log to establish trust, transforming Liufenbantang from a bandit's den into a prestigious establishment, allowing various underworld forces to claim credit for their "righteousness."
Linglong Pavilion's main business is intelligence trading, and it also deals in issuing bounties, auctioning treasures, and money laundering on the black market. It has several underground banks and restaurants and eateries all over thirteen provinces.
The most obvious signboard of Linglong Pavilion is neither accurate intelligence nor resourcefulness, but money, extremely money, so much so that it's no exaggeration to say that it's a gold mine.
Now, the guards watching over the gold mine have disappeared.
The child is causing trouble with gold…
Yang Yan looked at Xu Qingya with anticipation.
Xu Qingya laughed and said, "In the underworld, the worst thing is not being decisive. If Lei Sun and Su Mengzhen had acted sooner, they could have robbed Jinshan."
"And now?"
"I am a swordsman, wielding Su Mengzhen's Red Sleeve Blade and Lei Sun's Unyielding Demon Blade. I'll have to try them sooner or later. Since I'm going to try them sooner or later, I might as well do it sooner rather than later."
"That's unnecessary. Qingya, the situation in the capital is quite complicated. Even with Su Mengzhen's wisdom and Lei Sun's ruthlessness, they wouldn't dare to rashly break the tripartite balance of power."
Besides, facing off against the two of them now seems a bit premature and too much of a show of force.
How about this?
Come to Tingxuelou tomorrow.
I'll teach you a set of sword techniques.
My talent for martial arts is not high enough; I have only mastered one or two tenths of the sword manual passed down in my family.
My aunt inherited the spear technique, but unfortunately, women are born with insufficient physical strength, so she later modified it to the pear blossom spear.
If it were you, you should be able to master it!
Qingya, I believe in you!
There was no reason, and no scheming!
This was the boldest and most thrilling decision I ever made in this chaotic world of martial arts.
Just like you said... a chilling glimpse!
One glance, and it feels like an eternity!
Yang Yan gently pushed Xu Qingya away, her face flushed, and ran away in a flash. Looking at the beautiful figure of the woman under the moon, Xu Qingya thought to himself, "What the hell is going on here!"
I'm just exposing your disguise!
How could you entrust your life to someone like that?
Why are you leaving in such a hurry?
Let's stay and chat for a bit!
My dog can do backflips!
Why is your family situation so complicated?
Besides Yang Yan and Pan Youdi, do you have other aliases? Are you some kind of princess from the common people?
Yang Yan is certainly not a princess from the common people.
To avoid trouble, all the descendants of the Pan family changed their surnames. Yang Yan's original name was Yang Yan, and Pan Youdi was a name she adopted in the martial arts world after looking at the family genealogy.
The ancestors' surname was Pan, and the father's surname was Yang.
These are all things that can be said.
But some secrets cannot be revealed casually.
Unless they are—husband and wife!
……
That night, there was killing, drinking, fighting, flirting, and being flirted with. Xu Qingya was dizzy and fell into a deep sleep.
The next morning.
Xu Qingya was awakened by her biological clock.
This is a habit formed through long-term martial arts training. One must train hard in the coldest days of winter and the hottest days of summer, without ever slacking off. Doubao'er can be lazy, but Xu Qingya must never be lazy.
After washing up, doing morning exercises, and wiping his face, Xu Qingya went to Master Lei's noodle shop and ate two bowls of he luo noodles. Instead of going to Tingxuelou, he went to the inn to find Ding Dian.
Upon seeing Ding Dian, Xu Qingya's minor resentment from the previous night completely vanished.
If we're talking about "love at first sight," no one in the world is more intense or more persistent than Ding Dian and Ling Shuanghua.
One person disfigured themselves but remained devoted to their cause.
A chain pierced his bones, a form of torture.
The two had never met or spoken to each other, yet they persevered for seven or eight years by sitting by a potted plant by the window.
Until the two of them—died!
The connection between people is hard to describe.
Ding Dian and Ling Shuanghua are examples of this.
The two were completely bewildered. Ding Dian was dizzy and, despite being a chatterbox, he became tongue-tied and didn't know how to comfort Ling Shuanghua.
Ling Shuanghua suffered a tragic change. Overnight, her stepmother went from a noblewoman who grew flowers and plants to a female demon who wanted to eat her flesh and blood, and her father went from a scholar to a traitor.
Normal people would either go crazy or become stupid after experiencing such a drastic change, but Ling Shuanghua was different. Ling Shuanghua's personality contained both gentleness and resilience.
How could someone who could ruin their beauty, which was more beautiful than a peony, during the prime of their youth and persevere in a two-story building for seven or eight years not be resilient?
The two were unaware of the specifics of what had happened or why this turn of events had occurred, but they relied on each other to barely maintain their composure.
Upon seeing Xu Qingya, Ding Dian rushed over as if grasping at a straw, asking anxiously, "Brother Xu, what happened? What exactly happened?"
Xu Qingya explained, "The story goes back many years, starting with the Yuxian Gang..."
Ding Dian's attack on Xu Qingya's talkativeness yesterday was countered today. In fact, Xu Qingya's speech was not verbose, and his logical clues were clearly laid out.
However, Ding Dian was too anxious, wishing he could know the truth in a second and then comfort Ling Shuanghua.
After a while, Ding Dian finally understood what had happened and sighed, "What do we do now? My head is spinning, and I don't know what to do at all."
Xu Qingya said, "Brother Ding, Miss Ling may know the secrets of the Yuxian Gang, or she may know nothing at all, but in the eyes of the martial arts world..."
"Pah! These mad dogs!"
Ding Dian carries the secret of the "Liancheng Treasure" and understands better than anyone how crazy the "Jianghu" can be.
Xu Qingya sighed, "Brother Ding, while everyone's attention is on Zhui Ming, Mr. Zhuge, and the others, take Miss Ling and leave quickly!"
"Go? Go where? Brother Xu, don't you know the secret I'm carrying?"
"Simple! Tell Mr. Zhuge all the secrets of 'Liancheng Jue'. The late emperor was obsessed with alchemy, which led to the empty treasury. The warehouses were so empty that mice could run through them."
If the Liancheng Treasure can be found, relieving the pressure on the imperial court, Mr. Zhuge will definitely turn a blind eye to Miss Ling's matter and pretend he didn't see it.
If you can't trust others, can't you trust Mr. Zhuge? Would Mr. Zhuge be greedy for money? Tell him the secret and let him dig up the treasure.
Without the treasure, who will be watching you?
Whether you go to the borderlands to herd horses and sheep, or to the south of the Yangtze River to plant flowers and grass, it's all up to you!
To be honest, when Xu Qingya first entered the martial arts world, his plan was to settle things in the capital and then go directly to Jingzhou to dig for treasure. He never expected things to change so quickly.
The Liancheng treasure is very valuable, but...
A wise person knows what not to do and what to do.
The world of martial arts is never short of treasures!
In Xu Qingya's memory, there are more than a dozen treasures with exact locations, not to mention that now that he has hooked up with Yang Yan, a very wealthy woman, Xu Qingya is not short of money at all.
If you're short of money, go treasure hunting!
The underground palace of Emei... The sheer cliffs of Emei... The 108th floor of Qingyi... Flying armor of Longmen...
Ding Dian sighed, "Brother Xu, I am completely impressed by you! To be honest, when we first met, I thought you would covet the Liancheng Manual!"
In recent years, I've encountered too many petty people, and I'm wary of everyone now. I apologize to you, my friend!
Xu Qingya waved his hand: "Brother Ding, you can't be too careful. Maybe I'm just kidding you. You might not know, but my master's nickname is 'The Great Conman'!"
Ding Dian joked, "Trying to fool me? What do you think you'll get from me? Once you step out this door, I'll hand over the Liancheng Secret to Master Zhuge! If you're so capable, try fooling Master Zhuge! Hahahaha..."
The two chatted happily, but Liu Qingci, the "One-Shoulder King," was unhappy. She got up early and braved the cold wind to go to Xu Qingya's residence to deliver the imperial decree, secretly planning to find an opportunity to fight and test Xu Qingya's martial arts skills.
Unexpectedly, he bumped his head into the door frame.
This is like the Tiger God praying for rain...
Xu Qingya is not home!
