They entered the living room, sat down, and offered tea.
Wu Yu Xue looked at the furnishings in the living room and knew that her master was extraordinary. She had clean and clean wooden furniture, and the calligraphy and paintings on the walls had almost proven that her master had poems and books on his belly. The so-called "having poems and books on his belly is too proud".
Only then did the Eighth Lord introduce Wu Yuxue to his two masters. That tall and pretty sickly son of Zhang Fei was surnamed Hu Lie, and the refined character was surnamed Guo Jiu Ru.
Both of them were unknown figures in the martial arts world. However, through the recommendation of the Old Master, Wu Yuxue did not dare to underestimate them.
Afterwards, Guo Jiu Ru knew that the guests hadn't eaten yet, so she smiled and said, "Coincidentally, we haven't eaten either. Old one, go take a look at the kitchen and find out what kind of good dishes there are, just hurry up and get them."
Hu Lie replied and cupped his fists towards the Eighth Old Master and Wu Yuxue, saying, "Excuse me, excuse me —"
Finished speaking, Ji Xing leaned on his wooden staff and went to the kitchen with a limp.
Guo Jiu Ru said modestly, "I didn't know that senior and this brother would arrive here. I don't have any special dishes, but I have a new basket of fresh bamboo shoots and a few live fishes to eat. The eight old men have always been known for their delicacies, if it's not tasty, please forgive me. "
The eighth grandfather laughed and said, "This is very rare, as long as old man Hu is the head chef, the dishes can't be wrong." "I have no need for that. This little brother is especially hungry today, so I'm afraid he needs to prepare more food."
As she spoke, she smiled knowingly at Wu Yu Xue.
Guo Jiu Ru said with a smile, "There's a lot, a lot. Where did Brother Wu come from?"
Wu Yuxue was not good at lying, and she knew that the Eighth Lord knew her background very well. If she wasn't telling the truth, then it was obvious that she was lying, but it was against the rules of the sect, and she didn't know where she was from.
The eighth grandfather, who was standing by the side, said with a smile, "Guo and Hu, both of you are men of character. You have some connection with your father, so speak the truth!"
Wu Yuxue couldn't keep it a secret after hearing his words, so she told him her real name.
When Guo Jiu Ru heard this, a smile immediately blossomed on her long, fair face. She nodded and said, "I was saying that this little friend seems to have such a good face. It turns out he's old brother Zhui Yun's son. No wonder."
He cupped his hands towards Wu Yuxue with a smile and said, "The Yan Clan's movement technique is renowned throughout the world. "Since Little Brother is from the Yan Clan, you can't be wrong about your movement technique. I must ask for your advice if you have time to spare in the future."
Wu Yuxue replied, "I don't dare to say that. Since senior is of the same generation as my father, how could I dare to be impudent?"
Guo Jiu Ru smiled and said, "Brother Wu Shi, you don't know this … Although I had some dealings with your father in the early days, the path that followed was different. Your father was a martial arts master. As for me, I was just a traitor in the martial arts world. "Sigh, that's a pity, but don't bring it up again …"
As Fang Zi said this, he heard the Eighth Elder snort from the side, "You can't say such words. If everyone carries the principle of sweeping away the snow in front of their own doors and not passing it on the righteous path in the martial world, bringing about evil, then this world won't be the world anymore."
Wu Yuxue was astonished when she heard that. She would never have thought that such words would come from the mouth of such a gentle old man. From his tone, she could tell that he had the ambition to take the law of the heavens as his responsibility.
After Guo Jiu Ru heard this, she laughed and said, "The eight old men spoke well, spoke well. For this reason, I will accompany you tonight as well. When we're done with our drinks, we brothers will properly report what we have done throughout the years and have to wait for your instructions before we can do anything. "
The Eighth Old Master nodded. "How's the sale?"
"I can still deal with it, but it will be difficult …" I'll report to you in a while! " He paused here for a moment before continuing, "For the past few years, both inside and out, it was all thanks to the Marmoset sisters. They did a lot of things for us, and in terms of merit and rewards, she should be part of it."
The Eighth Old Master chuckled, raised his cup to take a sip of tea, then put down his teacup and said, "Does that even need to be said? When it comes to the topic of the four young ladies, even the people outside the prison have heard of it. I know she did well, but... This time, I'm afraid that she has met someone even stronger than her.
Guo Jiu Ru frowned and said, "That's not it. Could it be that what you're saying is —"
The eighth grandfather suddenly stood up and said, "How fragrant. Old man Hu sure has some skill." As he stood up, he walked inside, diverting Guo Jiu Ru's attention away from the topic that was about to leave his mouth.
Wu Yuxue, who was listening at the side, was confused. She did not know the end of the story, but she was a bit shocked herself. Wu Yuxue, who was listening at the side, was confused and did not know the end of the story.
It seemed like killing someone for their goods and doing everything … Afterwards, they were never mentioned again. He never would have thought that he would hear it right here. Moreover, from the tone of his voice, it was actually someone who was with them. How could this not make him feel fearful?
The Lame Hu vegetable was ready.
In such a short period of time, he had actually cooked seven or eight dishes, filling them to the brim with delicious fragrance.
Wu Yuxue was so hungry that he ate three bowls in a row.
Although this Hu Cripple had a limp, his culinary skills were surprisingly good. The most common green bean curd, after being stir-fried by him, suddenly tasted rich and juicy, but what aroused Wu Yuxue's interest was one of the bass fish. According to one of the masters, Guo Jiu Ru, it was still alive and kicking before the big bass came into the pot.
Anhui Province droughts, the lake and river dry, even if there are not completely dry, but the water is shallow to see the bottom, such as this big bass shown in front of it, that that is impossible to survive.
His master had unintentionally revealed his intentions.
It turned out that he had business to attend to recently — a business trip to Hangzhou that had brought him back yesterday. It seemed that his trip had gone smoothly and he had brought back quite a few things, including fresh bass fish.
Although the Ning Country Manor was on the verge of Zhejiang, not too far from Hangzhou, it still required ten to fifteen days for an ordinary person to travel back and forth at the fastest speed. Even the fastest horse would need four days to travel day and night, but when this surnamed Guo talked about it, it seemed like it was only a matter of two days and nights.
Thinking about it carefully, there was only one possibility, and that was that this person had a first-rate flying technique and also had a very convenient water and land connection.
It also reminded Wu Yuxue of the trade they were managing. It must have been a huge business with a lot of manpower and a lot of money. Wu Yuxue was curious about it.
What kind of business do they actually do? Paper? Mo?
If it was just paper and ink, why would they need such grandeur and grandeur?
The Eighth Old Master pointed and said, "Eat the fish."
Then came the boss's piece. As expected of the old foodie, he talked about eating fish and said, "It's best to eat bass with scales. The most delicious meat is near the tail of the fish."
These words interrupted Wu Yuxue's thoughts. Then, he saw the eighth elder put a mouthful into his own mouth, and a series of chirps sounded out as he ate the fish. He spat out all of the fish bones and dried scales that had lost their fat.
Perhaps it was because they were obstructing Wu Yuxue's presence, but they did not mention anything about the business at all.
The three of them could be considered as foodies, such as the north, south, south, water and sea, and rare delicacies. The three of them could be considered as foodies, such as the north, south, water and sea, and rare delicacies, such as the north, south, water and sea.
The host sincerely welcomed the guests with aged red wine.
The Eighth Old Master was in a good mood. He drank until his cup was dry.
Guo and Hu were both decent people. Wu Yuxue, on the other hand, was somewhat restrained and didn't dare to have a good time. She couldn't help but drink a lot from the Eighth Lord.
This feast lasted until the middle of the moon.
Both Guo and Hu were in high spirits today, as the moonlight was very bright tonight.
The group of four arrived at the pavilion in the backyard. They were attended to by an old man who had an earshot.
At this moment, the topic turned to the martial arts of the various sects.
Wu Yuxue realized that the Old Master was knowledgeable about almost everything, including the leaders of all the martial institutions in the world of martial arts.
Not only the eighth grandfather himself was like this, but also Guo and Hu, both of whom studied and had their own leaders.
Naturally, Wu Yuxue was also an outstanding figure in the Dao. She had hidden herself for too long to reveal herself, but later on, when they talked about the profundity of the situation, she flew away and joined the conversation.
The Eighth Elder suddenly smiled at Wu Yuxue and said: "I have long since heard of your Yan Clan's ultimate technique. Back then, when your Ancestor fought with Yue Yang for a while, both sides were young and vigorous, neither side was willing to submit to the other …"
Saying that, he smiled and said, "I remember that day, he used your Swallow School's Flying Swallow Sword Art to defeat me in one move, but I used the 'Shadowless Palm' and struck him with it. We are equal."
Shaking his head, he said with some emotion: "In the second year, I created my own 'Three Forms of Unity'. I was confident that I could defeat your Swallow School's sword technique, so I went to look for your Ancestral Uncle, but no matter what, he refused to compete with me again. "I will not have the opportunity to experience the Yan Clan's sword techniques in the future. I guess I still have some regrets."
Wu Yuxue was afraid that he was going to test her skills, so she hurriedly said, "It's a pity that I haven't been able to get the Gyokuro Punch from my sect. Otherwise, I could be embarrassed in front of you."
The Eighth Elder nodded and said, "These words are not pretentious. When it comes to your sword technique, Yan Shougao, it is indeed vast and profound, worthy of being called the pinnacle of martial arts. "You're still young, if you want to learn this set of martial arts, I'm afraid that's not possible. If you can learn just a little less than half of it, it won't be easy."
Hearing his words, Wu Yuxue was very familiar with the martial arts of the Swallow School. She admired him from the bottom of her heart. It could be seen that this person's skill was unfathomable. However, he was confused about how secretive he was about his background and his background. He just couldn't remember there was a person in the forest like him.
Wu Yuxue was deep in thought, but she only saw the tall and big Cripple Hu coming to her in a trance.
"Come come come …" "Young man, tonight's moonlight is so beautiful, play with me, Cripple, and we'll prove it." Cripple said.
Wu Yu Xue was about to politely reject him, but she didn't expect that the Eighth Lord and Guo Jiu Ru were already clapping their hands in praise.
The Eighth Old Master smiled and said, "This was my original intention. Old Cripple, don't look at how young this young brother is and think he's easy to bully. That's a mistake."
Cripple Hu repeatedly laughed, "How dare you, how dare you …"
As he spoke, he suddenly spun around. "Whoosh!" A gust of wind had arrived in the courtyard.
One of his legs was not nimble, but his movement was extremely fast. Like a gust of wind, he stood in the yard with one foot touching the ground, yet he was holding a staff above his head.
Wu Yuxue was stunned and said with a smile, "Senior Hu is forcing me …"
"No worries …" The Eighth Old Master smiled and said, "He was just scaring me. Little friend, you don't have to be afraid. Go down and spar with him …"
He was smiling when he said those words, so of course he was joking.
Guo Jiu Ru nodded to the side and said with a smile, "Old man Hu is from the 'Azure Continent's Cloud Sect'. Little brother, you'd better watch out for his' Cloud Gate Eight Movements'."
When Cripple Hu, who was in the arena, heard this, he repeatedly shouted, "Alright, you've let my foundation leak out. This fight won't be easy. Come, come, young man, just use whatever abilities you have. "
On the other hand, she did not take herself seriously. Even though she knew that he was from the "Azure Province Yun Sect," this sect was known for its viciousness in the martial arts world, and because of the fact that there were not many disciples in the sect, Wu Yu Xue had never met anyone like him. As such, Hu Lie was the first person she had met.
Even so, he had no way of avoiding it. It seemed like he could only let go of the other party's hand and compete with him.
He was thinking, should he use the Yan Clan's techniques to fight with his opponent? Perform it. With an expert by your side, you may not be able to see through your sect's secret arts. If you don't use it now, you might not be able to win.
However, there wasn't enough time to think about that. He stood up and said, "In that case, I'll ask Senior Hu for some advice on how to use his powerful technique!"
As he spoke, his body flickered and he appeared before Hu Lie in a flash.
Hu Lie said, "Good movement technique."
He pointed at Wu Yuxue's chest with the wooden staff in his hand and said, "Come here, young man. Where's your guy?" Hu Lie said.
Wu Yuxue hid her Green Mulberry Sword in the inn and did not bring it out. She did not have the strength to empty-handed fight with her opponent. Just as she was in a difficult situation, she heard Guo Jiu Ru say: "There's a sword here. Little brother, you can deal with it!"
After the voice died down, a long sword flew leisurely over.
