The carriage headed south, and in a few days, they arrived in Shandong. Dongfang Sheng had been guiding Zi in her internal energy cultivation along the way. Of course, Zi had learned the fist and palm movements for more than ten years, so Dongfang Sheng had nothing to teach her. If they were to really compete in moves, although Dongfang Sheng knew a set of Dark Mysterious Divine Palm, he was only at the level of " I don't know why ". He might not be as good as Zi, so he might as well hide his strength.
"Big brother master, there's a tavern up ahead.”Zi lifted the curtain and looked outside while pulling Dongfang Sheng's shoulder and shaking him back and forth. She liked to be active and not quiet. Other than practicing internal energy every day, she could not calm down. Fortunately, she grew up in Xingxiu Sect and knew the importance of her own strength. Otherwise, with her temperament, how could she calm down and meditate? On the other hand, she felt that Dongfang Sheng was a monster who could meditate for an entire day if he had nothing to do. Actually, Dongfang Sheng did not like noise in the first place. After mastering the Nine Yang Divine Skill, he seemed to be addicted to meditation and would not wake up easily. However, he had been having a hard time getting some peace and quiet with Zi these few days. Because of Zi's company, Dongfang Sheng had to find an inn every day. After all, there were differences between men and women, and it was not appropriate for the two of them to spend the night in the carriage. This way, the journey had slowed down a lot, but he should be able to catch up with Qiao Feng.
"Oh?" Dongfang Sheng opened his eyes, lifted the curtain, and looked outside. He asked the old coachman,""Uncle Huang, are there any inns ahead?”It was still early in the afternoon, so he was not in a hurry to check in.
"Young Master, there are no other shops for dozens of miles.”
"Then stop in front of that inn.”Dongfang Sheng ordered.
Zi was overjoyed when she heard that. She jumped down from the back of the carriage without waiting for the carriage to reach the inn. She called Dongfang Sheng,"Master, big brother, come down and walk. It's so boring sitting in the car every day.”
Dongfang Sheng knew that she was someone who couldn't stay idle, so he also got down and let Uncle Huang drive the empty car. He and Zi walked away.
The shop was not small. There were more than ten tables in the hall, but they were almost full at this moment. The moment Dongfang Sheng entered the shop, he felt that the atmosphere was not right. The dozens of people in the lobby were clearly divided into two sides, as if a great battle was about to break out. Then, he looked at the shopkeeper and the waiter, who were hiding behind the counter and looking around secretly. Dongfang Sheng didn't care about this at all. He found an empty table and sat down. Zi, on the other hand, was very excited. She sat down with Dongfang Sheng and shouted loudly,"Waiter, come and greet the guests."
The hall was originally so quiet that one could hear a pin drop. Now that Ah Zi shouted, several people on both sides turned around and glared at her coldly. Seeing this, Zi raised her chin and snorted. Dongfang Sheng found it funny and said to Zi,""Next time, you should make this gesture.”As he spoke, he stretched out his right index finger and thumb and gestured downward.
Zi followed suit and fiercely "despised" everyone. Then, she shouted at the counter,"Xiao Er, Xiao Er! Hurry up and serve the dishes. I'm starving.”
The waiter braced himself and stepped forward with trepidation. He said softly,"Sir, why do you two still dare to come in at such a critical time? They didn't let anyone out, or else I would have run away. Now, the two of you can't leave either."
"We're here to stay, so we won't go out," Zi giggled. If you want to do business, you naturally won't go out. What's the big deal?"
Dongfang Sheng didn't want Zi to be entangled with the waiter, so he said,""Waiter, serve a few fresh dishes.”
The waiter said with a bitter face," Sir, the chef has already hidden in the room upstairs. He's so scared that he can't even lift his knife. Who dares to cook?"”
"Second brother, you're really brave to stay here." Ah Zi said from the side.”
The waiter sighed and replied,"This shop is opened by my uncle. He is really worried, so I can only follow him."”
"Then do you have any ready-made food?" Dongfang Sheng asked.”
"Sir, please wait a little longer. There is cooked beef in the kitchen."”As she said that, she turned around and dashed into the back hall against the wall. However, her legs were weak and she tripped on the threshold and almost fell, causing Ah Zi to laugh again.
Everyone in the hall ignored Dongfang Sheng and Zi. A man who looked like a leader from the east said,"Your Chen clan is really too much. This matter cannot be settled peacefully.”
A skinny old man sitting in the middle of the crowd shouted,""Hmph, although your Yellow River Gang is big, you should understand that a strong dragon cannot suppress a local snake. Our Chen Family is not easy to bully.”
After listening to a few sentences, Dongfang Sheng understood that this was a negotiation between gangs. He couldn't help but find it funny. This scene didn't look like a scene from a martial arts movie. Instead, it seemed to be the ancient version of a young and dangerous series. Zi whispered to Dongfang Sheng,""Master, big brother, do you think they will make a move?”
" No!" Dongfang Sheng shook his head slightly." Even if we do, it'll just be a street brawl." Zi, don't be a busybody."
Zi replied with an "oh" and did not say anything else. After a while, the waiter brought a large plate of beef, a pot of wine, and a few steamed buns. Dongfang Sheng recalled the scene in the book where Zi used poison to tease the waiter. He couldn't help but glance at Zi, only to see her sitting obediently at the side. He was relieved. "Zi, I have a request for you."”
Zi was stunned for a moment, then smiled." Master, just say it. Zi will definitely agree."”Over the past few days, Zi had a deeper understanding of Dongfang Sheng. She knew that he didn't like to make things difficult for others, so she agreed readily.
"Zi, since I've taught you martial arts, you can stop using those vicious methods of Xingxiu Sect," Dongfang Sheng said seriously. Those poisons were not to be used unless it was life-threatening.”Dongfang Sheng only thought that Zi did not usually put human lives at risk, so he restricted her, but he was not so pedantic as to forbid her from using poison when she really needed it.
When Zi heard this, she nodded and replied,"Since it's Master's big brother's words, I will naturally obey." When I learn peerless martial arts from my master, I won't have to use those methods anymore.”
Dongfang Sheng continued," As the saying goes, the heavens love life. You shouldn't be too ruthless in your daily actions. You should be lenient when you can."”
Zi smiled." Master, you're lying to me again. You said that 'the heavens have the virtue of cherishing life'. It's written clearly in Laozi's Tao Te Ching that' Heaven and Earth are not benevolent and treat all living things as straw dogs.'”
Dongfang Sheng was stunned, but he couldn't find any words to refute her. At this moment, a gust of wind suddenly blew behind him. Dongfang Sheng's spiritual sense was so sharp that it was unbelievable. Without looking back, he could sense that it was a wine bowl flying toward him. With a wave of his left hand, he swept his Xuanming zhenqi over. The wine in the air immediately turned into ice shards and bounced to the side along with the bowl. Looking back, the two groups of people in the hall were already at loggerheads and fighting. For a moment, tables and chairs flew everywhere. Dongfang Sheng couldn't help but frown. He wanted to chase both sides out of the shop.
A green shadow flashed into the shop at this moment and shuttled around the hall. There was a burst of exclamation, and the people who were originally fighting fell to the ground and split into two sides. How could everyone react in time? They only felt their vision blur as they were pushed away by a strong force. They couldn't help but sit on the ground. When they stood up, they realized that they were not injured. Looking at the hall, there was a handsome man dressed in green.
Ah Zi loved to watch the show. Just as she saw the crowd enjoying themselves, she saw the man in green come in. He waved his hands and separated the crowd in an instant. She couldn't help but cheer in her heart as she said to Dongfang Sheng,"Brother Master, this person's martial arts is so powerful. He managed to subdue so many people with just one move.”At this point, he suddenly thought of something and said,"However, compared to Big Brother, it seems that he is still a little lacking.”
Dongfang Sheng couldn't help but smile when he heard Zi's words.""Little girl, you don't have to flatter me. In terms of moves, I'm not as good as this brother.”When he saw that person's posture was relaxed and elegant, he was somewhat impressed.
"If you fight him, will you win or lose?" Zi asked.”
Dongfang Sheng put away his folding fan and tapped her forehead lightly. He said in a low voice,""Victory is certain. This little girl has no confidence in me?”
Seeing that Dongfang Sheng didn't seem angry, Zi lowered her head and stuck out her tongue.
A man from the Yellow River Gang shouted from the east,"Who are you? State your name." Although his voice was loud, he knew that the green-clothed man's martial arts were far superior to his, so he was secretly afraid.
The old man on the west side also said,"Young Master, who are you? Are you here to help the Yellow River Gang?"”The old man didn't know the man in green, nor did he remember that he had asked for help. Naturally, he thought that he was reinforcements from the other side. He thought to himself that he would probably suffer a huge loss today.
Before the man in green could reply, a strange laughter came from outside."Hahaha, that's not true. How could the Yellow River Gang afford to hire my young master?”
Dongfang Sheng naturally recognized Bao Butong's voice. He asked in surprise,""Murong Fu?"
Zi, however, had sharp ears. Hearing Dongfang Sheng's muttering, she asked,""Big brother, could it be the Nan Murong that is widely known in the martial world?”
The green-robed man cupped his fists in the hall and said,"I am Murong Fu of Gusu. It was only because he saw everyone fighting that he stopped them. Please don't blame me for offending you.”
As they spoke, several more people entered the room. Bao Butong and Feng Poliu 'e were among them. There was also a beautiful girl beside them. It was Wang Yuyan. At this moment, Dongfang Sheng was sitting with his back to the door, so no one recognized him.
"I wonder what conflict you have that you want to fight." Murong Fu said. Harmony is the most important thing in everything. I will be the peacemaker. Please reduce the big things to small ones and the small things to small ones. Everything has its own solution."
When everyone heard this, they realized that the person who had come was Nan Murong, who had been famous for a long time in the martial world. How could they still have the heart to compete? The man from the east made a prompt decision and cupped his fists."Since Young Master Mu Rong is interfering in this matter, our Yellow River Gang will have to give him some face. Young Master Murong, please." As he spoke, he waved his hand and led his disciples away. The old man thanked Murong Fu and left with the Chen Family. Only Murong Fu, Dongfang Sheng, and Zi were left in the hall.
