The towering Emei Mountain was as high as the clouds. At the foot of the mountain, people wore unlined garments and waved their fans. Halfway up the mountain, everyone wore thick cotton coats and rubbed their hands. Along the way, the pavilions and pavilions were submerged in the dense pine forest. On the trees and on the roadside, monkeys were jumping around and fighting for food with pedestrians. From time to time, a few gorgeously dressed pheasants flew over their heads, porcupines with long spikes ran around in the ravine, and a frightened hare ran into the deep mountains like a gust of wind with its fat butt puffed up and its tail raised.
The incense in the temple was so thick that people could not open their eyes. The long-burning green oil lamp emitted a fragrant fragrance. The monks chanted sutras and the buzzing sound could be heard from afar. From time to time, a few dull bell sounds echoed in the wilderness.
The nunnery not far from the foot of the mountain was silent. Ren Hui, who had been busy all day, was about to rest when a messenger pigeon flew into the small dressing table in her room. Ren Hui held the lovely carrier pigeon with both hands and stroked its shiny feathers. She took out a piece of paper from the bamboo tube on its purple-red feet and looked at it carefully under the oil lamp.
"Ah! Little brother! His brother was still alive? Was it true? He should be more than fifteen years old. Who would suddenly go against the Black Tiger Gang? From the way he introduced himself, he looked like his younger brother. This was the only family he had in the world! She decided that she could not remain silent anymore. If little brother has started to come out for revenge, then we should also make a move. Nearly eight years of preparation should be put into practice!”
Ren Hui, who had missed his family for a long time, could not suppress the excitement in his heart. He immediately issued orders to the various branches to pay close attention to the movements of the young hero in white and prepare for action…
Ren Hui packed her simple luggage and prepared to set off tomorrow to look for her younger brother, Ren Cong.
The next morning, Ren Hui told Nun Jue Xin about her plan and the information she had learned. Nun Jue Xin also had the same opinion and thought that Ren Hui could go out to look for the young hero in white.
But the nun warned Ren Hui,
"Before we find the young hero in white, we can't come into direct contact with the white-bearded old man. This person's martial arts are unfathomable, and he will definitely kill anyone who might seek revenge on him. Don't go to Ambitious Mountain Villa. We'll make plans after we find the young hero in white and find out if it's Ren Cong. I usually don't allow you to use the Poisonous Embroidery Needle that your mother passed down to you. Now that you're alone outside, you can adapt to the situation when necessary. Protecting yourself is more important.”
The nun continued to instruct him with care,
"Contact me if you need anything. Remember, Emei will do its best to help you eliminate the evil!”
The sky was blue without a single cloud. The dazzling morning sun shone on the earth, making it red. Nun Juexin and her senior sisters stood in front of the mountain gate, waving their hands and sending Ren Hui down the mountain with tears in their eyes.
Ren Hui wore a pink dress and held an embroidered sword in her hand. She set off in the direction of Guilin with an uneasy mood. At noon, she arrived at a town and walked into a clothing store. She chose a few sets of clothes that she needed and checked into a better inn.
Ren Hui placed the bundle on the bed and quickly untied it. She took out a small cloth bag and untied it. Then, she sat in front of the dressing table and dressed up in front of the bronze mirror. Looking at her beautiful face, she couldn't help but smile happily. She curled up her thick black hair, put on a melon skin hat, and wore a green satin robe. She looked like a pale-faced scholar. She was extremely satisfied with her appearance.
Ren Hui picked up the scabbard on the stage and went downstairs. She greeted the shopkeeper and went out of the door. She walked along the uneven street to the market. There were not many pedestrians on the street. The market was not far away from the end of the street. Ren Hui came to the market. Even though it was already noon, the market was still very lively because today happened to be the fair day. The few restaurants nearby were particularly lively. People had sold their goods and had some money in their hands. It was rare for them to come from the countryside. They would stir-fry a serving of Twice-cooked Pork and drink half a catty of Lao Bai Gan. It was an excellent enjoyment.
Ren Hui passed through the crowded farmer's market and came to the livestock market at the edge to look for the mount she wanted. However, this place was too small, and there were no decent horses. There were only a dozen horses in the entire market, and each of them seemed to have no food to feed them. They were all skin and bones. Only a date red horse tied to the horse farm at the side was very eye-catching. It was shiny and smooth, and everyone loved it. When Ren Hui saw it, she was pleasantly surprised. She went straight to the date red horse and caressed it without hesitation.
"Boss! How much is this horse?"
"Haha! Young Master, you have good taste! I'm not buying this horse. It's my mount. I have it here. Young Master can choose whatever you want, hehe!”
A middle-aged man sitting by the stable and drinking tea said to Ren Hui with a smile.
"Ah! Boss, I need a strong mount for a long journey. Those horses are all skin and bones. How can they run long distances? Just sell it to me, the price is negotiable!”
Ren Hui begged.
The boss thought for a moment and said,
"I have a lot of feelings for this horse, and I really can't bear to sell it. Since Young Master has said so, I'll reluctantly give it to you.”
He was a businessman, and he would not be a businessman without evil. If he had the chance, he would definitely extort a sum of money. Moreover, he really did not want to sell. Ren Hui naturally understood this principle, so she said,"
"Boss, just name your price. I think you're a businessman. You've been doing business here for a long time, so you won't ask me for an exorbitant price!”
Unexpectedly, the boss said straightforwardly,
"Alright then, give me eight taels of silver. My price is fair, right, young master?”
"Justice! Justice! Thank you, boss. I'll add two more taels. It's a round number of ten taels.”
Ren Hui happily took out two silver ingots worth five taels per ingot from her bag and handed them to the boss.
The boss happily took the silver and said,
"Ah! Young Master is so kind. Your future will be boundless. Thank you! Thank you!"
The boss took the silver and enthusiastically straightened Ren Hui's saddle. He watched as Ren Hui led the date red horse and disappeared into the crowd.
Ren Hui left the room and rode the date red horse.
On this day, Ren Hui came to the " Yuelai Inn " on the outskirts of Liucheng and sat at a small table by the window. She ordered a plate of spicy chicken shreds, a plate of braised carp with pickled peppers and pickled vegetables, a plate of braised beef, and a small bowl of wine. She ate and drank slowly alone.
"That young hero in white is very skilled. On a main road in the Xiang region, he forcefully stopped a two-horse carriage that was going berserk with his palms and saved a mother and son who were carrying a child. He also razed the Black Tiger Gang's casino in a county city to the ground. The Black Tiger Gang's casino in Changsha City also suffered the same fate and won eight million taels of silver. In the Chinese server, he had a duel with Xie Yifu, the Greatest Swordsman in the World. Now, he had come out of seclusion to seek revenge. It was said that he was going to settle scores with the Ten Tigers of Northeast China…!”
On another stage, a few men were discussing.
"You're mistaken. Some people say that the duel with Xie Yifu wasn't a draw, but that Young Master Bai had deliberately tied it, and the two of them even became friends. Xie Yifu took the initiative to invite Young Master Bai for a drink. As the number one swordsman in the world, besides the previous Alliance Master, who else would he invite for a drink?”
A burly man said as he danced with joy.
"Not bad! Yes, that must be the case. Everyone said that Young Hero Bai was not an ordinary person, but a fairy boy!”
An old man praised.
In order to listen to more people's discussions, Ren Hui had been staying at Yuelai Inn for more than half a month. Basically, it was all similar discussions. The only piece of news that made her heart sink was that a Taoist priest in a long robe said last night,
"A white-bearded old man appeared in the Black Tiger Gang's casino, and they are actively preparing to kill the white-robed young hero. Young hero Bai called Xie Yifu the white-robed man, but I don't think it's his real name.”
Ren Hui thought about it and decided to go to the branch in Liu City to discuss with the branch leader Xiang Jin and listen to their opinions before making a decision. In the afternoon, Ren Hui arrived at the branch in Liucheng. Just as she reached the gate, Xiang Jin came out. Xiang Jin came to the door and saw a handsome pale-faced scholar standing at the door. He was shocked at first, and then," Ah!”He shouted,
"Ah! It's the young miss, please come in and sit!”
When Chen Fan heard Ren Hui's arrival, he hurried over to pay his respects to the Eldest Miss and immediately ordered a banquet to welcome her. Soon, the banquet was served.
Xiang Jin asked,
"When did the young miss arrive in Liu City? Why didn't you inform us in advance? We could have met you on the way. It's so dangerous!”
"I've been at the Yuelai Inn for half a month.”
Ren Hui said.
"Aiya! Why didn't the young miss stay at the helm? They could take care of each other if anything happened. Ever since they received Miss's letter twenty days ago, everyone had been extremely excited. We all hope that all our brothers in the branch will officially declare war on the white-bearded old man and find the real murderer. We have been waiting for this day for more than seven years!”
Ren Hui explained,"
"The reason why I'm staying at the inn is to gather information about the young hero in white and confirm his whereabouts. I want to find him personally and see if this man in white is my brother Ren Cong. We'll make plans after it's confirmed. Everyone has to be patient. You have to pay close attention to the movements of the headquarters and wait for my news. Also, immediately send someone to tell Branch Leader Ouyang of Guilin Branch about my opinion. I was going to go there, but time doesn't allow me to, so I won't go. I have to find Young Hero Bai as soon as possible!”
"It's not safe for Young Miss to be alone outside. I'll send a few people to go with you.”
Xiang Jin suggested to Ren Hui.
"There's no need. I'll take care of myself. If there's anything, I'll inform everyone. Don't worry, Branch Leader Xiang.”
Ren Hui instructed.
"Alright then. I will immediately convey the Young Miss's intentions to the various branches!”
Xiang Jin replied excitedly.
"In addition, I will immediately inform the various branches along the way to receive the young miss!”
Xiang Jin added.
"Thank you for your concern, Branch Leader Xiang!"
Ren Hui returned the greeting.
"It's our responsibility to protect the young miss!”
Chen Fan said sincerely.
Ren Hui told Xiang Jin and Chen Fan what she had heard in the inn. Both of them felt that the young man in white was very likely to be the young master Ren Cong. Their opinions made Ren Hui more confident in finding her brother.
Ren Hui's descent from the mountain had already attracted the attention of the Black Tiger Gang. They had been secretly watching Ren Hui's movements. The news of her arrival at the branch in Liu City had already been reported to the white-bearded old man.
The white-bearded elder instructed,
"Follow and monitor her, see who she comes into contact with, and kill her if necessary, but only after she gives her consent. He could put some pressure on her first before making any plans.”
Ren Hui said goodbye to Xiang Jin and the others. He rode a date red horse and rushed all the way to Changsha. Chen Fan and the others received Xiang Jin's order.
"Protect them in secret. They can only return after the people at the next station pick them up. He had to ensure the safety of the young miss. He could not let his opponent's scheme succeed!”
On the way to Quanzhou, Ren Hui rushed along the path between the fields and the mountains with a heavy heart. The summer sun made her body feel hot and uncomfortable. She really wanted to take off the melon skin hat on her head, but she was afraid of revealing her daughter's clothes. She could only endure it. Only when the wind blew did she feel a little relaxed.
Half a mile behind her, there were a few businessmen riding horses, but they were not her match. They kept falling behind her, as if they could never surpass her.
There were also a group of ghostly figures in the forest beside him staring at Ren Hui closely as they accompanied her. Therefore, she was not alone. Her journey should be lively. She was only 30 miles away from Quanzhou. If she persisted for a while longer, she would be able to run out of this ravine and reach a flat and wider official road. In other words, she would feel safer on the official road. However, at this moment, a few men in black suddenly flew down from the hill and blocked her path. Immediately after, a group of people rushed out of the forest and surrounded Ren Hui.
A few men holding large knives, led by a man holding a long sword, fiercely approached.
Ren Huixiu waved her sword and scolded,"
"How dare you rob me in broad daylight?”
"Miss, you're wrong. We're not robbing you. We're robbing you. Hah! Haha!"
The longsword wielding man laughed maniacally.
The sword-wielding man suddenly stopped laughing. With a wave of his hand, he and a group of men with large sabers swung their sabers at Ren Hui without any explanation! In an instant, the ravine was filled with the light of swords and the cold wind.
Ren Huixiu waved her sword, drawing a silver light. The white light was dazzling, and a clang was heard as it blocked the incoming saber. The white light suddenly changed direction, and a piercing sword Qi shot towards the sword wielder along with a silver light.
When the man with the sword saw that things were not going well, he hurriedly turned the long sword that was coming straight at him, blocking Ren Hui's embroidered sword with a clang.
Right at this moment, a few merchants from behind rushed over with long swords in their hands. In an instant, silver light flashed, sparks flew, and dust rolled. The sound of metal clanging mixed with the wails of ghosts and wolves echoed in the ravine. More than a dozen black-clothed men fell to the ground with blood and flesh flying everywhere. Some were still twitching.
Next to him, a few men in black with extraordinary martial arts skills surrounded Ren Huizheng and fought hard under the leadership of the sword-bearer.
A young man in a long robe patted his handsome horse and charged forward bravely. With a flash of silver light, the two burly men who were close to Ren Hui were instantly beheaded. The headless man's cherry red blood sprayed onto Ren Hui and the sword-wielding man. This man was also unlucky. His strange face, which was covered in blood, flew into the air with a flash of white light. It looked extremely terrifying. The remaining men turned around and ran up the hill. It was too late, and a few swords pierced through their chests almost at the same time.
"Young miss, you're shocked!"
The young man jumped off the horse and helped Ren Hui down.
"Ah! So it's you guys. Have you been following me? Thank you, Chen Fan! Thank you, Branch Leader Xiang, for your meticulous arrangements!”
Ren Hui said gratefully.
"It's our duty to protect the young miss. It's what we should do!”
Chen Fan cupped his fists.
The brothers accompanied Ren Hui to the stream to wash off the blood on her face. She changed out of her dirty clothes and came to the whole state together to stay in an inn.
After receiving Xiang Jin's message, the Changsha branch Zhao Gu's branch leader sent Wu Yiren to lead more than ten brothers to wait here. A group of people set up two best banquets in the inn hall to calm the young miss down. Chen Fan, Wu Yiren, and the other brothers toasted Ren Hui. Ren Hui also raised her glass and suggested that everyone drink together to express her gratitude to everyone. When the brothers saw the Eldest Miss, it was as if they had seen their savior. They all excitedly raised their glasses to wish the Eldest Miss 'health and asked when they would raise the matter to avenge Alliance Master Ren. Ren Hui advised everyone to be patient, believing that this day would come soon.
There were a few beautiful girls in white dresses with morning glory flowers on the opposite side. They were hugging an old woman with a big sunflower embroidered on her chest. They were drinking and eating without paying any attention to her.
Ren Hui felt a little strange, so she asked Wu Yiren in a low voice,"
"This old woman is a little strange. Do you know where she came from?”
"Ah! She was the Sunflower Granny who had teased Wei Xiangting at the Martial Arts Circle Convention. She was the former Sect Master of the White Sunflower Sect. Three years ago, she had a fight with her master, the Sect Master of the White Spirit Sect, whom she had betrayed. But later on, they strangely merged together and even made her fairy-like twelve-year-old princess the sect master. This girl's martial arts were above Granny Sunflower's. In recent years, her influence had expanded rapidly. Their figures could be seen everywhere. It was said that she had even made things difficult for the Black Tiger Gang!”
Wu Yiren introduced.
"That's not all. There's a Tiger Head Mountain Village at the border of Hunan and Hubei. Two heroines have grown in power in recent years. Last time, they killed Qin Zhi from the Hubei branch.”
Yiren Wu continued.
Ren Hui stood up, picked up the wine cup, and respectfully came to Granny Sunflower's side. Holding the wine cup with both hands, she said to Granny Sunflower,"
"Old senior, I am Ren Hui, a disciple of Emei. I was passing by and was fortunate enough to meet you.”
"I know who you are, where you're going, and what you're doing. Don't toast. Just be careful. Your friends and family are waiting for you. Go on, do your thing!”
Granny Sunflower waved her hand and said.
What a powerful old woman. She knows everything. Could she be a worm in my stomach? However, seeing that she didn't have any ill intentions, he let her have her way. Ren Hui cupped his fists and said,"
"Then this junior will not disturb you any further. Farewell!”
Ren Hui cupped her hands and returned to her seat.
For safety reasons, Ren Hui stayed in the middle room while Chen Fan, his brothers, and Wu Yiren's brothers stayed in the rooms on either side.
The night was very quiet, and it was already late at night. The stars in the sky were covered by dark clouds, and the insects screamed. The wind gathered, and it was dark as if it was going to rain. It was already the third watch of the night, and the temperature had dropped just in time to sleep.
Suddenly, there was a fierce fight outside the window on the roof, followed by a few screams. Did Chen Fan and his men, Wu Yiren and his men, meet up with the attackers? Ren Hui flipped over and jumped out of the window. She saw more than ten men in black lying on the grass behind the house with long swords in their hands. They were already dead. Each of them had a hairpin with a sunflower on it, but no one else was in sight.
Ren Hui wondered in her heart, Why did this Sunflower Granny save me? She recalled the scene during dinner last night. Based on what she said that night, Ren Hui felt that she must know her relatives. However, she was in a hurry to find the young hero in white, so she didn't have time to care about him.
Early the next morning, Ren Hui was wearing a pink dress and black embroidered shoes. Her thick hair was draped over her shoulders, and she had a purple-red scarf on her head. She looked exceptionally beautiful.
She said goodbye to Chen Fan and his brothers and set off for Changsha with more than a dozen of Wu Yiren's brothers. Along the way, she found that there were girls in white and purple morning glory.
At noon, they came to the entrance of a valley and saw the corpses of more than ten men in black lying in a mess. A few of them had their heads blown off, and some of them had cherry red blood on their necks. From the scene, these people had just been killed and fell to the ground.
They walked for two days and came to a small river. Ren Hui stopped and went to the river to wash her face. Wu Yiren and the brothers stood in a semi-circle around her, as if they were facing a great enemy. Because the reeds were dense by the river and there was a dense forest beside it, it was the easiest place to hide. They had to be careful.
Suddenly, with a few " whoosh " sounds, several figures disappeared in a flash. A dozen small white shadows attacked Ren Hui. Ren Hui instantly shot up like lightning and landed on a small stone in the river with a " whoosh " sound, avoiding the flying hidden weapons. Poor thing, two of his brothers were shot in the back by two sharp weapons and were on the verge of death. Wu Yiren and his brothers looked around vigilantly, searching for the location of the hidden weapon.
Ren Hui looked around and saw no one. She looked up and found three people hiding behind the dense leaves on a branch. They disappeared in a flash.
Suddenly, a black shadow flashed in front of Ren Hui's eyes. With a scream, the black shadow fell into the river with a splash, causing water to splash everywhere. Following that, miserable screams came from the branches and reeds, and then everything fell silent again.
Ren Hui and Wu Yiren jumped onto the reeds and found that six men in black had been shot dead by Sunflower Hair Fork in the reeds. Five men in black had also fallen in the forest. They all died from sunflower hair forks.
The two of them saw the words written on a big rock in front of them:
"Miss Ren, don't stop. Quickly enter the city!”
Ren Hui, Wu Yiren, and a few brothers helped the two seriously injured people on the ground onto their horses. With a whip, the group rushed to Changsha City.
Zhao Gu, the leader of the Changsha branch, had already received the news from Granny Sunflower. He had prepared a sumptuous banquet in the hall and was anxiously waiting for the arrival of the young miss. When he saw Wu Yiren and Ren Hui's group of horses coming in through the main door, Cong Cong quickly rushed over to help the young miss.
"I didn't protect you well enough and frightened you. If it wasn't for Granny Sunflower's timely arrival, the consequences would be unimaginable. The Black Tiger Gang had invited evil cult members to stop the young miss. The white-bearded old man had already given the order to kill the young miss without mercy. These evil cult members had excellent qinggong and could kill without being noticed.”
Ren Hui said,"
"No wonder these guys are so fast in broad daylight. I really have to thank Granny Sunflower!”
Zhao Gu continued:
"Young miss, good news. According to the information sent by the branch leader of the Edi branch, Cui Yong Qing: The two heroines of the Tigerhead Mountain Village were Hall Master Ganquan and the wives of Brother Wuyun. They had received reliable news that the young hero in white was the young master, Ren Cong. He was currently pursuing the Ten Tigers of Manchuria and Two Tigers of Jinzhou, who had besieged and annihilated Ambitious Mountain Villa. Lu Zhankui and Yan Cheng had been killed, and Pavilion Master Gan had invited Eldest Miss up the mountain for a chat to discuss the operation plan!”
When Ren Hui heard the news about her brother, Gan Quan, and Wu Yun, she was so excited that tears welled up in her eyes. She finally knew that her brother was still alive and had become a man with unparalleled martial arts. The time to avenge her parents had finally arrived. It had been almost eight years. She had waited bitterly for eight years!
Zhao Gu led Ren Hui to the living room. The guards had already prepared hot water and were waiting there. When they saw the young miss enter, they respectfully handed a white hot towel to Ren Hui to wash her face.
"Young miss, please wash your face!"
Ren Hui took the towel and said politely,"
"Thank you!"
He washed his face. Zhao Gu bent his body slightly and extended his right hand, saying politely:
"Young miss, please eat first!"
Ren Hui followed Zhao Gu to the main hall. Everyone sat down at the table and raised their glasses to drink. Zhao Gu enthusiastically picked up some food for Ren Hui. Ren Hui was indeed a little hungry, but she was a girl and their master. She couldn't lose the demeanor of a master and a girl. She could only try her best to control herself.
Zhao Gu said to Ren Hui:
"When Eldest Young Miss went to Tiger Head Mountain, other than the protection of the brothers in the branch along the way, the White Sunflower Church secretly escorted Young Miss all the way to Tiger Head Mountain. Don't worry, Eldest Miss. Hall Master Gan instructed her to stay here and wait for his notice before leaving. He wanted to arrange for safety along the way so that Eldest Miss could arrive at Tiger Head Mountain Village safely!”
"Ah! Thank you, Uncle Gan. I'll just wait here in peace!”
Ren Hui said excitedly.
Ren Hui was a kind girl. She did not have an arrogant and overbearing aura towards her subordinates. Instead, she cared and respected them. During her time in the branch, she often went to her brothers 'residences to chat with them and ask about their well-being. The brothers felt that their master was approachable and a good master. They were determined to follow her for the rest of their lives. They were willing to charge into battle for her, willing to do everything for her, even if it meant death.
Twenty days later, Zhao Gu received a message from Gan Quan:
"Everything is ready. Please send Eldest Miss to Tiger Head Mountain!”
Ren Hui said goodbye to Zhao Gu and headed to the E Region under the escort of Wu Yiren and the others.
On the way, Wu Yiren talked about the meeting with the young master in Changsha and the matter of razing the Black Tiger Casino. She even mentioned that the fairy-like girl called the Little Lord "husband", as if this girl was also someone Bai Kui taught.
"So the legend of razing the casino with two palms is not a myth, but real? Where did this little brother learn such a divine technique? In that case, I have a beautiful sister-in-law, ah! The heavens really have eyes. My father and mother didn't suffer in vain!”
Ren Hui said excitedly.
Along the way, she would occasionally see people in black who had been killed in the forest. However, Ren Hui did not encounter any trouble along the way. It could be seen that Pavilion Master Gan's arrangements were so thorough. As expected of a scheming veteran.
In less than a day, Ren Hui arrived at Hankou. Cui Yongqing personally led the crowd to a small town twenty miles away from the city to receive him. After the banquet, Wu Yiren bid farewell to the young miss and Cui Yongqing and returned to Changsha with his entourage.
Cui Yongqing reported the situation in Hubei to Ren Hui. Cui Yong Qing introduced,
"Ever since Branch Leader Yang was killed and we used Tiger Head Mountain to get rid of Qin Zhi, the headquarters has sent people to investigate many times. The Black Tiger Gang often provokes us, and the headquarters has doubts about the income of the branch. Every year, they send people to check the accounts. Most of the time, it's Chief Lin Bingnan who brings people. I think this person is very smart, but I don't know why. He clearly found the problem, but why didn't he pursue it? He only encouraged us to work hard and even asked me to correct the accounts that were not done well. I don't know what he's up to, but I'm also pretending to be stupid. After the Alliance Master passed away, the branch tribulation left behind 1.2 million taels. Young Miss could use it anytime!”
Ren Hui praised,"
"Branch Leader Cui did well, thank you! Manager Lin was his father's old subordinate. Perhaps he understood the difficulties of his subordinates. "Now, I have to wait until I see Young Master before making a decision. I'll see what he plans to do. I'll wait for Hall Master Gan's opinion when I arrive at Tiger Head Mountain!”
"Hall Master Gan instructed us to go up the mountain tonight. The Black Tiger Gang will be watching us closely during the day, so we have to act now!”
Cui Yong Qing said to Ren Hui.
"Alright then!"
Ren Hui nodded.
The two of them left the shop and mounted their horses. Ren Hui was in front and Cui Yong Qing was behind.
"Just follow the fire in front!”
Cui Yong Qing said to Ren Hui from behind.
Ren Hui and Cui Yong Qing followed the light of the fire in front of them under the dim moonlight. She heard the sound of horse hooves in front and behind her. She knew that it was the brothers sent from the mountain to escort her. She felt much more at ease.
Along the way, her mind kept replaying her childhood. Uncle Gan and Uncle Matchless especially doted on her and protected her like a little angel. Sometimes, they even made her father jealous!
How is Uncle Gan? Did he get old? Was he doing well on the mountain? How she wished she could see her uncle soon!
A few hours later, they came to a big dark valley. They slowly walked up the mountain ridge and finally saw a magnificent wooden city. The words " Tiger Head Mountain Village " appeared in front of them. Gan Quan, Wu Yun, his wife Ji Ling, Ji Qin, and a large group of men were waiting at the gate of the village to welcome them.
"Uncle Gan, I finally found you!”
Seeing her long-lost relatives, Ren Hui rushed forward with tears in her eyes and threw herself into Gan Quan's arms, sobbing.
"Don't cry, child. For your safety and for today, I didn't contact you. Please forgive me. Everything is in the past.”
Gan Quan stroked Ren Hui's head and comforted her.
Wu Yun said excitedly,
"Young miss, your two aunt have prepared a sumptuous banquet to calm you down. Please!”
Ren Hui raised her head in embarrassment. When she saw the two dignified, beautiful, and virtuous aunt, she quickly said,
"Ah! Two beautiful and virtuous aunties, your niece has made a fool of herself!”
Ji Ling and Ji Qin walked forward and held Ren Hui's hand. As they walked, they said,
"Usually, your two uncles often boast that they have a niece who is as beautiful as a flower and a nephew who looks like a fairy. We thought that they were bragging and wanted to elevate themselves and suppress us sisters. It turns out that the truth is even worse than what they said. If not, he would have to choose one properly!”
"Father and mother's revenge has not been taken, and little brother has not been found.”
Ren Hui replied embarrassedly.
Along the way, Ren Hui was stunned by this majestic and unique wooden city.
"Aunties, you're really not simple! He had designed and built such a strong and beautiful wooden city! This scene was even more magnificent than a dream!”
Ren Hui said emotionally.
"In the past, this place wasn't this grand. It was only after your Uncle Gan and Uncle Wu came that they redecorated it in preparation for their revenge. This place has both ground and underground defense facilities. Even if the other party attacks, they will die without a burial place. Unless we encounter your legendary brother, it is impossible for anyone else to kill us. Therefore, we can still protect ourselves. Niece, you can rest assured to stay here. You are safe in this castle!”
Ji Ling said to Ren Hui.
At the sumptuous banquet, Gan Quan raised his glass to welcome the arrival of the Eldest Miss. He proposed to toast Alliance Master Ren and his wife, as well as his brothers who had died in battle. After that, he poured the wine on the ground and then raised his glass to toast today's reunion.
Gan Quan said to Ren Hui,
"Young miss, on the night of the death of Ambition Villa, I personally saw the word 'Ting' written in blood on your father's left palm. As such, I knew at that time that the real murderer was Wei Xiangting. As for who the white-bearded old man was, we still didn't know, but at the very least, he was an assassin hired by Wei Xiangting. When I was being pursued by the Manchurian Ten Tigers and the white-bearded old man, I was indebted to the two madams for saving me. In order to prepare for revenge, Brother Wu Yun and I had been hiding here. Your Uncle Gai is currently hiding in the White Sunflower Sect and is Granny Sunflower's husband. We are all using Tiger Head Mountain and the White Sunflower Sect as our base to rapidly expand our power. This time, the White Sunflower Sect has been secretly protecting the young miss along the way. For the safety of the young miss and the brothers in the various branches, we have never contacted the young miss and have not told everyone the truth. Last time, Granny Sunflower's daughter, Gai Yiling, met the young master by chance and privately engaged with Cong 'er. Cong' er gave Gai Yiling the few million taels of silver he won at the Black Tiger Casino and asked her to develop her power. When he was done, he would come back and help him. I guessed that he was Cong 'er. In order not to affect Cong 'er's revenge plan, I didn't expose him. From the current information, Cong' er has publicly claimed that he is Ren Cong and is going to seek revenge from the Ten Tigers of Northeast China outside the pass. The task he told Gai Yiling was to go outside the pass to hunt down the ten tigers, and then return to the pass to find the real culprit for revenge!”
Upon hearing that the real murderer was Wei Xiangting, Ren Hui's entire body trembled as she gritted her teeth in hatred. This brother of her father whom she respected the most in the past was the real murderer who killed her parents and relatives. She really couldn't accept this reality. Although her master, Priestess Qu Xin, had always been suspicious of Wei Xiangting, because the death of Alliance Master Ren would only benefit him. But without evidence, they could only suspect.
Of course, Ren Hui could not accept this suspicion. This was the person she respected the most since she was young! But today, reality was right in front of her, and she had no choice but to accept it.
Ren Hui said excitedly,"
"Many thanks to Uncle Gan, Uncle Gai and Uncle Wu for their efforts over the years. Emei's Nun Juexin and I also know that it was not you uncles who plotted against the manor. On our way back to Emei, we found that the three rebels of the Hall of Heroes, Chen Jiu and the others, had been killed to silence them. In Liucheng, he met Chen Fan and Li Siyuan from Liucheng and Guilin. These few years, the various branches have been keeping in touch with me and listening to my orders. Everyone is waiting for the right opportunity. Now it seems that we should also take action in order to cooperate with our brother's revenge.
This time, I came down the mountain after discussing with the Abbess. I need to find the young hero in white and confirm if he is my brother. Next, I want to continue to meet my brother outside the pass. Uncle Gan will continue to prepare for the operation inside the pass. Find the white-bearded old man and prepare to hold a meeting with the branch leaders to make unified arrangements. However, I think it's best to wait for Ren Cong to return and set up together. We don't know his plan now, so we're afraid of disrupting his arrangements!”
Gan Quan nodded in agreement and said,"
"Young miss is right, we will act according to this plan, but now is not the time to go outside the pass. You have to let Cong 'er finish his plan of eliminating the ten tigers before you two siblings meet again. Eldest Miss, you can stay here in peace for now. When you have time, you can go and inspect the White Sunflower Sect and see your fairy-like sister-in-law, Gai Yiling. At the same time, you can pay a visit to their old Sect Master and your Uncle Gai, Granny Sunflower. He discussed with them that the White Sunflower Sect and Tiger Head Mountain would step in and attack the Black Tiger Gang, forcing the white-bearded elder to appear. Find out his background so that Cong 'er can have some clues. However, we can't fight the white-bearded old man head-on. We're not his match!”
"Alright then! We'll pay a visit to the White Sunflower Sect in a few days and pay our respects to the old Sect Master!”
Ren Hui agreed.
Cui Yongqing followed Ren Hui's arrangement and bid farewell to Ren Hui, Gan Quan, and the others the next day to return to the branch.
Ren Hui inspected all the facilities on Tiger Head Mountain and felt that the mountain was indeed a strong fortress. It was very important for the revenge plan in the future, so she was very happy.
In the blink of an eye, Ren Hui had already lived on the mountain for ten days. The densely forested Tiger Head Mountain was very cool in this hot summer, especially at night.
Perhaps it was because she felt especially safe here, or perhaps it was because she had confirmed news about her younger brother. Now that she had found her Uncle Gan, Uncle Gai, and Uncle Wu Yun, she felt especially at ease. Ren Hui slept soundly.
It was already dawn in the east, and the birds were singing. The roars of the brothers 'morning exercise echoed in the forest, waking Ren Hui up from his sweet sleep.
"Ah! It's dawn!"
Ren Hui got out of bed with a grunt, put on her clothes and went to the living room. She twisted a towel in the hot water in the wooden basin that the maid had prepared beforehand and washed her face. Then, she returned to her room to dress up.
Today, she was going to visit the White Sunflower Sect with her Uncle Gan and Aunt Ji Ling. She was going to meet her Uncle Gai and Aunt Granny Sunflower, as well as her sister-in-law. Therefore, she had to dress up properly and leave a good impression on them.
"Are you up? Young Miss!"
Ji Ling's voice rang out in the living room. Gan Quan and his wife had already arrived.
"Get up, Uncle and Aunt. I'm sorry to have made Uncle and Aunt wait!”
Ren Hui responded and came out of the room. She had white teeth, skin as white as snow, and a delicate body. She was wearing a brocade dress and her hair was high. Her expression was extremely beautiful. However, there was also an elegant and noble air in her delicate appearance. It could really be said that she was inferior to flowers and dull like jade. In particular, there was still a hint of childishness on her face. She looked pure and innocent, and her naivety could be dug out. Even though she was angry, she still had a smile on her face. She looked extremely cute!
"Ah! Young miss, you're extremely beautiful today! Drunk men!"
Ji Ling looked at Ren Hui and sighed in surprise.
Gan Quan chuckled and said,"
"My niece, what's wrong with that? Hehehe! I'm not bragging, am I? When you see my nephew, you women will also be drunk to death, hehe!”
"I believe you! I believe you!"
Ji Ling said repeatedly.
The conversation between the two elders made Ren Hui blush in embarrassment.
A group of horses galloped on the spacious road. The horses 'hooves flashed in an instant, and yellow dust soared into the sky. It floated in the air like a huge dragon chasing the horse team in the air. The birds on the willow trees by the roadside were so frightened that they fled in all directions. The people working in the fields stopped their work and looked at them curiously.
The one who ran in front was Ganquan who had put on makeup, followed closely by Ji Ling and Ren Hui. Behind Ren Hui were more than a dozen elite men in combat attire holding large knives.
Gan Quan and his wife had not been to the location of the White Sunflower Sect. They quickly got off the official road and entered the main road in the forest. Along the way, they could already see a girl wearing a white background with purple and blue morning glory. The jungle was getting denser and denser, and the number of paths was also increasing. When they were about twenty miles away from the location of the White Sunflower Sect, the girls who appeared and disappeared no longer appeared. There was only a small mountain path leading to the valley, so they could reach the White Sunflower Sect without any guide.
Ren Hui, Gan Quan, and the rest had just arrived about half a mile away from the valley when five men holding knives suddenly jumped out of the dense forest and asked loudly,"
"Who is it? What are you doing here?"
Bai Kui taught all women, so why would there be a man here? Gan Quan replied warily,
"Tiger Head Mountain's Ji Ling Stronghold Chieftain is here to visit the White Sunflower Sect!”
The burly man immediately said politely,
"Ah! Welcome, welcome! Please!"
When they arrived at the entrance of the valley, everyone was stunned by the buildings in front of them! A ten feet thick and fifty feet tall stone wall blocked the entrance of the valley. The stone walls were all made of huge stone strips and hung with ashes. There was also a wooden pavilion about 35 feet tall built on top of the stone walls. The attic was exquisitely carved, the workmanship was exquisite, the dragon, phoenix, peacock were lifelike, and the color matching was exquisite. The tall stone walls extended all the way to the ridges around the valley, surrounding the entire valley. Heavens, how much manpower and financial resources would this require? It was simply a small Great Wall. There was a small watchtower built on the stone wall at regular intervals. It could be said that even flies could not fly in. In the middle of the attic, there were seven golden words,"The White Sunflower Sect of Ambitious Mountain Villa". When they saw these words, they were both affectionate and puzzled.
Ren Hui and the others were led by the burly man into the valley through the arched gate in the middle of the stone wall. On both sides of the gate stood burly men dressed in red robes and red scarves, holding large knives. They looked very imposing. A broad stone path extended from the entrance of the valley to the inside. On both sides of the path, there was a large pavilion every 200 feet. On both sides of the path, there was a forest of trees. Flower gardens, rockery, and fish ponds were evenly distributed, and all kinds of flowers emitted waves of fragrance.
In the middle of the valley, a two-story building spanned across the valley, dividing the valley into two. The ground was made of stone houses made of large stone strips, and the second floor was made of large logs. The floor was built in the style of a temple, which was extremely magnificent and beautiful.
After passing this building, they entered the inner valley. There were rows of buildings of the same style on both sides of the foot of the mountain. In the middle was a huge square. There were sparse small wooden stakes on the side of the square. They were about fifteen feet tall. On the right side of the wooden stake were young men flying. It turned out that these simple facilities were used for practicing qinggong. These girls and boys were practicing qinggong.
In the middle of the square, there were people practicing with spears and sticks, and there were also people practicing with fists and feet. It was very lively, and there were no less than four to five hundred men and women in the square.
On the right side of the valley, there were a few exquisite and unique small buildings. On the second floor of one of the small buildings, there was a little girl playing the piano and a little boy reading and writing. The windows of the other building were many and big, and the sound of children reading could be heard from inside. There was also the place where the teacher taught the children to read. It was really a small paradise.
There was a large pond on the left side of the valley. Spring water was flowing in, but it was never filled. It was only two to three feet deep, and all kinds of mountain fish swam in the pond.
Ren Hui and Gan Quan went up to the pond and followed a stone path with a slight slope to a cave under the rock wall that was almost submerged by morning glory and azalea.
The burly man shouted,
" Chieftain Shanji of Tiger Head has arrived…!"
Two girls dressed in morning glory costumes came out and politely invited,
"Please come in, Chief Ji!"
The two girls opened the dense flower vines and led Ren Hui, Gan Quan, and Ji Ling into the cave hall.
Dressed in a long white dress with green edges, a red cape, a purple-red scarf, red embroidered shoes, and thick hair, Gai Yiling, the leader of the White Sunflower Cult, was as beautiful as a fairy. She stood up from a large chair on a platform with a purple-red hanging curtain and moved it away. He stepped forward and said,
"Esteemed guest has come from afar. Sorry for not welcoming you. Hall Master Gan, Madam Ji, this beautiful elder sister is…!”
"Ah! This is your husband Ren Cong's sister, Miss Ren Hui. She's here to visit you!”
Ji Ling introduced.
Gai Yiling rushed over excitedly and grabbed Ren Hui's hand."
"Ah! Hello, sister. Sister is too beautiful. Welcome, welcome!”
"Compared to you, Sect Master, my elder sister paled in comparison. My younger brother is really lucky with women!”
Ren Hui praised.
Gai Yiling pouted and said,
"You still dare to talk about him? I even used a lot of tricks to make him give in. I still don't know how many pieces he has given to the girls outside the pass?”
Ji Ling teased,
"I say, Cult Master, why do you care so much about him? As long as he leaves you a piece, that's enough! Clack! Clack! Giggle!"
"I'm not doing it. It's mine alone. Who dares to fight with me?”
Gai Yiling clenched her fists.
"Hurry up and call me granny. Father and mother are here.”
Gai Yiling turned her head and called out to the servant girl beside her.
Gai Yiling took Ren Hui and Gan Quan to visit the ever-changing cave. There were exquisite wooden houses on both sides of the cave. In front of the stone hall, two large logs stood on both sides of the large platform. The carved dragon patterns on the pillars were colorful. Two layers of pink silk curtains were hung on the front and both sides. There was a huge sunflower on the stone wall behind it. A big phoenix flew towards the sunflower on each side.
The platform was five feet wide and half a foot high near the stone wall, dividing the platform into two levels. On the second level was a particularly beautiful wide wooden chair, covered with a bright red satin cushion. It was soft and comfortable, and there was a tiger skin on the back. This was Gai Yiling's cult master throne. The cave was brightly lit by a few luminous pearls. Along the depths of the cave, there were strange stalactite crystal pillars on both sides, like a stone forest. They were illuminated by the luminous pearls, making it especially spectacular and beautiful.
Gai Yiling introduced,
"Half a year ago, this place was just a big valley filled with wild flowers and weeds. There was only this hidden cave. When Ren Cong and I parted ways, he instructed me to vigorously develop and strengthen my power. He gave me five million taels of silver, and I paid a large sum of money to buy the stone. I also gave him a time limit of four months to buy it, and it was built into what it is now. During the first few months of construction, the valley was ablaze with lights. The construction was going on all night, and it was packed with people. He didn't know if Brother Cong was satisfied.
I recruited hundreds of brave men and trained them day and night. The leaders were selected through martial arts competitions. Many Jianghu people joined them. I want to wait for my husband to come back before deciding how to organize them. I want to turn this place into a temporary ambitious villa. The left half of the two-story building in the middle will be for the men, and the women will live in the second half of the building on the right side of the mountain!”
"Good! Good! You're not simple. Ling 'er, you're more courageous than your Uncle Gan. You're much faster than us. Cong 'er definitely wouldn't have thought of it and would definitely be very satisfied with everything you've done for him!”
Gan Quan praised.
"Don't praise me, because my husband gave me a lot of money. Without a large amount of funds to back it up, it's impossible for me to do it!”
Gai Yiling blushed.
"It's impossible to get things done with money, no brains, and no guts. The Ren family has hope!”
Ren Hui praised.
"My dear niece, Hall Master Gan, Madam Ji, what a rare guest. Please come to the hall. The banquet has been prepared. The old cult master and Cai Feng are waiting there."
Gai Ba ran in from outside the cave and pulled Ren Hui to look around.
Ren Hui threw herself into Ge Ba's arms and said excitedly,"
"Uncle Gai, your niece has been looking for you. You're finally together today. How are the sisters-in-law?"
Ren Hui whispered in Ge Ba's ear,"
"Uncle, why did you find such an old woman to be your wife?”
Ge Ba laughed and asked,"
"Hah! Hah! Haha! Let's go! Let's go eat! Niece!"
As he spoke, he led everyone to the hall. He saw a beautiful middle-aged woman dressed in luxurious clothes standing at the door.
"Welcome, distinguished guests. Honorable nephew, Hall Master Gan, Madam Ji, please take a seat!”
The noblewoman said as she led everyone into the dining room.
"Unparalleled Earl, who is this?"
Ren Hui asked Gai Ba.
"Isn't that your old aunt? Hah! Hah! Haha!"
Gai Ba laughed out loud.
"Who are you talking about?"
Wu Caifeng scolded jokingly.
"Ah! You are Granny Sunflower? My aunt!"
Ren Hui looked at Wu Caifeng in surprise.
"I'm your Uncle Gai's wife, your aunt, and your sister-in-law's mother, Granny Sunflower Wu Caifeng! Caw! Caw! Kaka!"
Wu Caifeng introduced herself with a big laugh.
"Old Sect Master, please take a seat!"
Wu Caifeng continued singing loudly.
An old lady in her sixties came out of the small room with a phoenix head walking stick in her hand and two female companions. She sat down at the head of the table without any modesty. Gai Yiling jumped over and greeted respectfully,
"Greetings to granny!"
Everyone knelt down and said,"
"Greetings to the old cult master. I wish the old cult master good health and longevity!”
"Hehehe! Hehehe! All of you, get up. Where are the formalities? Get up, get up! Please sit down. Ling 'er, Miss Hui, come here! Sit beside granny!"
The old sect master beckoned everyone to sit down and said,
"Everyone, feel free to use it. There's no need to be so polite!”
Everyone took their seats and raised their glasses to wish the old cult master a healthy and long life. Yiling and Ren Hui obediently kept putting food into the old man's bowl, calling out to the old cult master's grandmother 'on the left and right, making the old cult master's mouth open with joy.
After the banquet, Wu Caifeng helped the old Sect Leader into the house to rest. The few of them went to the stone hall to drink tea and discuss the matter. Gan Quan explained the plan of Ren Hui and Ren Hui in Tiger Head Mountain to Gai Ba and Gai Yiling in detail. Everyone agreed unanimously that the specific implementation would be under Gan Quan's unified command.
Ren Hui and Gan Quan stayed in the White Sunflower Sect for more than ten days. After everything was arranged, they returned to the Tiger Head Mountain Village.
One day, a spy came to report,"
"Ren Cong has already eliminated eight tigers outside the pass. He is currently chasing after the five tigers, Chen Qiyue, and the ten tigers, Yu Yuewei, who have fled to Benxi.”
Gan Quan received the report and told Ren Hui,"
"Virtuous niece, you can leave for Jin Zhou now. Ren Cong is likely to build a branch of the Qingcheng Society in Jin Zhou. You can rush to attend the celebration. Qingcheng will be your father's last stop outside the pass. I only found out recently. Cong 'er has set up branches of the Qingcheng Society in almost all the major cities outside the pass. The headquarters is in Shenyang, and your father's loyal subordinates, Wang Weiyun and Wang Licheng, are the chief and deputy chiefs. The operation to exterminate the Ten Tigers outside the pass this time was carried out by the two of them in cooperation with your brother. I will send someone to send you out of seclusion. After you come out of seclusion, you will be on your own. After you come out of seclusion, you will arrive in Jin Province in about a day!”
After Ren Hui heard this, she could not suppress the excitement in her heart. She really wanted to set off immediately and rush to Jinzhou. Gan Quan said with concern,"
"Don't worry! Don't rush! Uncle will arrange it!"
On this day, Ren Hui put on her makeup, bid farewell to Gan Quan, Wu Yun, Ji Ling, and Ji Qin, and rode her date red horse out of the pass. Along the way, people cast curious glances at this young man who looked like a scholar. Not far in front of her, there were more than ten burly men in tight clothes holding long swords and flying forward. About half a mile behind them, there was also a group of men with large swords chasing them. The journey was relatively safe and they did not encounter any trouble.
The majestic Shanhaiguan Pass was right in front of them, and the horse team had disappeared at some point. Ren Hui slowly rode on her horse and arrived at the city gate. She reached out and handed two large ingots of silver to a soldier who looked like an official. The soldier nodded and bowed as he sent her out of the gate.
Out of Shanhaiguan, Ren Hui was running on a wide and flat road. The farmers were busy harvesting the endless field of sorghums and corn. On the road, carts and carts of sorghums and corn shuttled back and forth. It was very lively with merchants coming and going to do business outside the customs. She did not feel lonely. She was eager to see her brother who had been separated for eight years. It was said that he had grown into a handsome young man who was fair and tender. However, she did not see him. Various kinds of younger brothers appeared in her mind. Even a fairy-like princess like Gai Yiling, who had special skills, tried her best to chase after him. She could imagine that her younger brother must be an outstanding man.
As she thought about it, she could not help but feel a little proud. She felt that being his sister was a glory. All the women would be envious of her and beg her to introduce her brother to them. They would be satisfied even if it was just a word or a meal.
She suddenly burst out laughing. She felt that she was being ridiculous. She had traveled for a day with all kinds of fantasies and finally saw the shadow of Jinzhou City in the distance. She excitedly patted the horse's butt, and the date red horse galloped forward like a sharp arrow that had been released from its bow, rushing into Jin Zhou City.
She stopped in front of an inn and prepared to stay. After a tiring day, she was hungry enough. She decided to eat first, eat a delicious meal, and ask around for information at the same time.
The innkeeper warmly welcomed him, took the horse rope, and led the date red horse into the stable to tie it up. Then, he gestured for her to sit down on a table, made some tea, and asked,"
"Excuse me, what do you need?”
"Please give me a small bowl of red kaoliang, a plate of braised beef, a roast duck, and a plate of mutton dumplings!”
Ren Hui replied.
"Alright! Please wait a moment, it'll be ready soon!"
The shop owner said enthusiastically.
A few customers were drinking and talking at the same time,"
"Tomorrow, the establishment of the Jinzhou branch of the Qingcheng Association will definitely be very lively.”
A young man said.
"Of course I'm going. I heard that the young man who wiped out the newly opened Black Tiger Casino in Jinzhou will also come to attend the celebration. Of course I'm going to see it!”
a middle-aged man said.
"I heard that he was the one who eradicated the Ten Tigers of Northeast China one by one. Isn't he afraid that the government will arrest him?”
A young man asked.
"The government doesn't care about that. The Ten Tigers of Northeast have done many evil things. The government can't do anything about them.”
The shop owner who happened to deliver food and wine to Ren Hui chimed in.
"Sir, your wine and dishes have been served. Please enjoy your meal. If you need anything, please let me know!”
The shop owner said to Ren Hui eagerly.
"Excuse me, boss, where is the address of the Qingcheng Society? I want to find them and ask them something!”
Ren Hui asked politely.
"Ah! Not far, not far. If you go straight down this street and turn a corner, you will see a large courtyard house!”
The shop owner replied.
"Thank you, boss!"
Ren Hui took out five taels of silver and said,
"Keep the change!"
The boss smiled and said,
"Young Master, don't joke around. This old man can't even earn ten silver taels a month. How could I dare to enjoy so much silver taels!”
"You don't have to be so polite. Boss, you've already helped me a lot.”
Ren Hui said sincerely.
The boss thanked him profusely and left. Ren Hui hurriedly finished her meal, got on her horse, and ran forward. After turning a corner, she saw a large courtyard house. At the entrance of the courtyard stood two men in green clothes, red headscarves, and red belts. Above the door hung a gold-lettered signboard,"Qingcheng Hui Jinzhou Branch".
Ren Hui dismounted and asked,"
"Excuse me, big brother, is Young Master Ren Cong inside?”
The burly man asked in surprise,
"You know our young master? Does he know you?"
"Please inform them that a person from my hometown has come to visit!”
Ren Hui said to the man.
The burly man flew into the courtyard.
"What does my younger brother look like? He must be a handsome, tall, and beloved prince charming. Her younger brother's childhood memories flashed through her mind.”
After a while, a handsome young man in a white satin robe walked towards the door. As he walked, he asked,"
"Who's looking for me?"
Ren Hui raised her head and pounced on Ren Cong with tears in her eyes. She hugged Ren Cong tightly and sobbed,
"Little brother, big sister has finally found you!”
"Ah! Sister? Are you my elder sister Ren Hui?"
Ren Cong hugged Ren Hui excitedly, and the siblings burst into tears.
Inside, Irina and Bi Jishan heard the crying and rushed out. Knowing that the siblings had met, they quickly helped them into the hall.
"Sister, I'm very happy to see you two reunited!”
Irina said in stiff Mandarin.
Ren Hui stared blankly at this beautiful foreign girl.
"This is your sister-in-law, Irina!"
Bi Jishan introduced.
Ren Hui then took a closer look at the Branch Leader called Bi Jishan. He was eight feet tall, with thick eyebrows and big eyes. He had a square face and fair skin. He was wearing a green robe with a border. He was in high spirits. He was a handsome man.
"He is Bi Jishan, the leader of the Golden City Branch of the Qingcheng Association, the disciple of the world's number one sword, Xie Yifu!”
Ren Cong introduced.
"Nice to meet you, nice to meet you!" The two of them cupped their hands and said.
Ren Cong said with heartache,"
"The journey is so long. It's so dangerous for a girl like you to come here alone! I was going to return to the pass soon. If anything happens to me, how am I going to explain it to my dead parents?”
Ren Hui introduced the situation of the various branches after her parents died, as well as the situation of Hall Master Gan and the others, as well as the scene of meeting Gai Yiling. She also told Ren Cong about the journey in detail.
Ren Cong was extremely excited after hearing this, especially after Gai Yiling's achievements in such a short period of time. He was even more impressed, but at the same time, he was worried about how Gai Yiling would react to his disloyalty. He didn't know if Xuelian and her daughter had arrived.
Bi Jishan ordered a banquet to welcome the Eldest Miss. Ren Cong, Irina, Ren Hui, and Bi Jishan raised their glasses together to toast the reunion of the siblings after nearly eight years. The four of them hit it off and drank until late at night before returning to their rooms to rest.
Ren Cong and Irina came to Ren Hui's room. The three siblings started chatting. Ren Cong asked his sister if there was anyone she liked. Ren Hui told her brother the truth. After her parents died, she couldn't find her only brother. She spent all her time planning revenge and didn't have time to think about her own personal problems.
Ren Cong sympathized with his sister's situation and said,
"I'm the only man in the Ren family. I'm very sad that I didn't take good care of my only relative, my sister. From now on, her sister would live her life in peace. Everything would be borne by her younger brother. Her younger brother was already a man. What was her first impression of Bi Jishan? I've been thinking about this for a while, but I don't know about my sister's situation, so I've been keeping it in my heart!”
Ren Hui blushed and said,"
"He's a good person, but he has nothing to do with me!”
"That's enough. Just wait. I'm going out to do something. You two sisters can talk here first!”
Ren Cong turned around and left the room.
Ren Cong came to Bi Jishan's room and saw that he was still drinking tea. He said,
"You haven't rested yet?"
When Bi Jishan saw that Young Master had come, he quickly made a cup of tea and handed it over.
"There are many things that haven't been sorted out yet. I can't sleep, so I'm just sitting here drinking a cup of tea and thinking about some problems!”
Bi Jishan replied.
Ren Cong said to Bi Jishan,"
"I'm here to talk to you about something. I'm going back to the pass soon, and I don't know when I'll come back. I didn't expect big sister to come here and find me. Sister suffered a lot for me. I don't want her to go back to the pass and take risks for me. I want her to stay outside. Thinking that you haven't married yet, I want the two of you to get married here and start a family. What do you think?”
Bi Jishan said embarrassedly,"
"She's the daughter of a rich family, and she's as beautiful as a fairy. I'm an orphan, and I'm a boor, so how can I be worthy of her? I'm afraid the young miss won't agree!”
"You don't have to worry about that. Go to my place now.”
Ren Cong pulled Bi Jishan and left.
The two of them came to Ren Hui's room, causing Ren Hui to be at a loss. She just sat there with her head lowered. Ren Cong walked up to his sister and said loudly,
"Since her parents are no longer alive, the only male master of the Ren family will preside over the ceremony. The eldest daughter of the Ren family, Ren Hui, will marry Bi Jishan, the leader of the Jinzhou branch of the Qingcheng Association. Tomorrow is the day of the establishment of the Jinzhou branch of the Qingcheng Association, and it is also the day of your wedding.”
After saying that, he held their hands together and wished them happiness. Ren Cong seemed to have completed a great task and let out a deep breath.
Ren Cong went out and told the leader on duty,"
"From now on, all the brothers will work overtime to prepare the banquet for tomorrow. Redecorate the courtyard and outside the courtyard. We have to be grand and festive. If we don't have enough people, we'll pay a high price and invite them outside overnight. Everything must be ready before noon tomorrow…!”
The leader immediately went to make arrangements.
The entire courtyard was brightly lit and bustling with activity. The high-end cloth shops on the street were called to open their doors for shopping. The senior chefs also got out of bed. All kinds of talents, bands, and lion teams were gathered in the courtyard. Ren Cong asked Bi Jishan to command, and Irina went out to help.
Ren Cong took his sister's hand and sat down. He took out a gold bar worth about five million taels of silver and gave it to her. Seeing so many gold bars, Ren Hui was shocked.
"My God, where did you get so much money? How can I spend so much? Even a few people won't be able to finish it!"
Ren Hui muttered.
Ren Cong said,"
"Big sister, you are my only family in this world. I want big sister to live a happy and carefree life. You can live here well. I will take care of the revenge. If you need anything, just tell me. No one will dare to bully you. They will know the consequences. I want brother-in-law to start building a huge villa immediately so that you can live a safe and happy life. I want to tell you that my younger brother has an endless amount of money. This is all left to me by my former master. I was going to bring you back to the Central Plains to get it, but since you're here, forget it. Father still left a treasure map. I'll look for it when I have time. Last time, that white-bearded old man forced me to hand over this map!”
Ren Hui was so excited that she couldn't speak. She just couldn't bear to part with the siblings. Ren Cong said,"
"I'll come to visit you and your wife when I have the chance. When I've wiped out my enemies and you're willing to come back, you can go back to the Central Plains. I'll make arrangements.”
Ren Cong called Bi Jishan over and said to him,"
"I'll leave my sister in your hands. I hope that you two will grow old together and love each other for the rest of your life. After you've settled this matter, immediately choose a place to buy and build the safest and most beautiful manor. It'll be where the branch is located and also your home. I believe that brother-in-law has a brain and wants to recruit heroes from all over the world. If you don't have enough money, you can discuss it with my sister. It's up to you here. What I need is for my sister to live happily. I'll leave it to brother-in-law!”
"Young Master, don't worry. I will love Young Master's sister as much as I love my own eyes!”
Bi Jishan said to Ren Cong.
Early the next morning, Wang Weiyun and Wang Licheng rushed to Jinzhou branch. They had never seen Miss Ren before. This time, the two of them came specially to officiate Ren Hui's marriage. Ren Hui greeted the two elders very politely.
After a grand wedding, Ren Cong, Wang Weiyun, and Wang Licheng had a long conversation.
On the second day after Ren Hui's marriage, Ren Cong reluctantly bid farewell to Ren Hui, who was crying like a baby, and his brother-in-law, Bi Jishan, Wang Weiyun, and Wang Licheng, the two elders, with tears in his eyes. Then, he took Irina and rode into the pass.
