The city of Luoyang was bustling with activity, bustling with activity. A group of seven or eight women, each wearing a white shawl and holding a long sword, galloped from one side of the city gate to the other. Because of their fast speed, one of the women in the group accidentally bumped into a middle-aged man. The woman regained her senses and was immediately enraged. She scolded the man:

"Don't you know how to walk?"

The man had two people following him. They were young, and when they saw the girl being so rude, they wanted to teach her a lesson. However, they were stopped by the middle-aged man.

"Sigh, don't be rude. This young lady must have something important to do for her to walk in such a hurry. Let's not delay her. "

The girl no longer answered the middle-aged man, instead quickly following the crowd in front of her.

After the two guards saw that the veiled woman had walked far away, they finally said to the middle-aged man:

"General Zhang Sun, these people don't look like they're from the Central Plains."

The eldest grandson thought for a while and said:

"Yes, I, Zhangsun Wuji, have fought in the North and South of the River for many years and have also gotten to know many people from all over the world. From their ornaments, one can tell that they are Turkic without a doubt. "But …"

One of the guards took over the conversation: "But why are they in the Central Plains recently?"

"For the past few years, the Turks have failed to invade the Central Plains time and time again. I think they are here to inquire about the situation. The people here are all guests. No matter what the reason is, we cannot refuse them a thousand miles away."

Zhangsun Wuji looked in the direction the woman left, then turned around and left.

Wang Tianba had settled Lu Yifeng in the old temple to recuperate. During the day, in addition to taking care of his food and drinks, he also had to occasionally get up at night to provide him with warmth. After several days had passed, Lu Yifeng's injuries finally began to improve.

Wang Tianba had left early on a sunny day to search for food. As usual, Lu Yifeng was sitting at the temple's entrance bathing in the sun. Suddenly, his mind recalled the green-clothed woman who had saved his life that day. Although the two of them had never met before, for some reason, his impression of the green-clad girl was especially deep. It was as if there was an uncontrollable traction force pulling at them.

At noon, Wang Tianba returned with a naked chicken in his hand. He saw Lu Yifeng lying motionlessly at the entrance with his eyes closed, seemingly deep in thought.

"Kid, you really know how to enjoy yourself. These days, I've already become your daughter-in-law. Every day, I wash and cook for you, but you don't even say thank you to me." He placed the whole chicken skewered on a bamboo tube and started a fire as he said, "Do you miss Shen Bing Yin again? However, it's also reasonable. With how beautiful this little girl is, any man would like her. "

Seeing that Wang Tianba was truly angry, Lu Yifeng quickly explained, "No, Sect Master, you misunderstood me. I was not thinking about that lady. I was only thinking about when I could return to the Sword Pavilion."

Wang Tian Ba laughed, "You still want to return to the Sword Pavilion? It's been seven days since we left the city. Perhaps young miss and the others have long forgotten about us. "

It made sense when he thought about it. He and Wang Tianba weren't important figures in Jiang-Nan Sword Pavilion. After staying in there for more than a week, they hadn't even met Yu Wenbin in person. They were people on the sidelines.

"I want to learn martial arts."

Lu Yifeng's words scared Wang Tianba so much that he almost threw the roasted pheasant into the fire.

"What?" You want to learn kung fu? "Yifeng, we have already avenged ourselves, why are you still learning martial arts?"

He added earnestly, "We should find a place, find a good job, make a family, be safe and happy and live well every day. You still have to fight and kill every day, what's the point of that! "

Wang Tianba's advice did not convince Lu Yifeng, instead, it only made him more and more determined. Lu Yifeng looked at the hot sun in the sky and sighed, "Learning martial arts doesn't mean we have to fight and kill. We can help those who need help, just like you and the other brothers of the Fierce Tiger Gang also helped me back then."

When the Fierce Tiger Gang was mentioned, Lu Yifeng went silent. This was because this was an eternal pain in his and Wang Tianba's hearts.

As if recalling that painful past, Wang Tianba pointed excitedly at the direction of the forest and said to Lu Yifeng:

"You know as well, our brothers all died because of you …" Think of the way I buried them. Do I still want to see you die? "I don't want to lose anyone else …"

Tears welled up in Wang Tianba's eyes as he sobbed. Lu Yifeng also lowered his head in guilt. Both of them were silent. The only sound that could be heard was the crackling sound of the roasted chicken.

After a long while, the two of them finally spoke again.

"The chicken is already roasted, just barely."

Wang Tianba picked up the black and sticky wild chicken, took off a less burnt chicken leg and gave it to Lu Yifeng. Lu Yifeng looked up, but still had a look of guilt on his face.

"Sigh!" Take it. Are you still mad at me? "

Wang Tianba coaxed Lu Yifeng like a child. Only then did Lu Yifeng take the chicken drumstick and start chewing on it.

Seeing Lu Yifeng eat it, Wang Tianba also smiled from the bottom of his heart.

"It's not impossible for you to learn martial arts, but it's just too dangerous. There are many martial arts gangs and countless experts. We don't even know which martial arts we're going to learn."

Hearing Wang Tianba's words, Lu Yifeng immediately smiled as if he had found a treasure.

"That is to say, Sect Leader, you approve of my learning kung fu? As for which sect's martial arts you want to learn, I've already decided. Sect Leader, you don't need to worry. "

Wang Tianba felt that Lu Yifeng's words about him being the previous Sect Master were not very pleasing to his ears. He said politely:

"Don't call me 'sect head'. We are brothers. It's better if you call me 'big brother'."

"You're already so old, and you still want me to call you big brother. I think calling you grandpa is more like it."

Lu Yifeng joked.

Wang Tianba snatched the chicken leg from Lu Yifeng's hand and angrily said, "I'm only 26 years old this year, and you dare to call me grandpa?!"

Lu Yifeng quickly snatched back half of the roasted chicken from Wang Tianba's hand and took a big bite, his face full of pride.

"AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!" "Brat, I think you're looking to die. You even dare to steal my chicken? Stop right there."

Wang Tianba and Lu Yifeng were chasing each other around the temple as laughter filled the entire temple.

The next day, as the sky slowly brightened, Lu Yifeng woke up Wang Tianba, who was still fast asleep. Wang Tianba raised his sleepy eyes to look out the door. It was pitch black. Asked:

"Yifeng, why did you wake me up? It's not even dawn yet. "

Lu Yifeng straightened his clothes and said, "Get up quickly. We have to hurry back to the Jiang Nan Sword Pavilion in the Yi Province."

"What?" You must go back to Jiang-Nan Sword Pavilion. Why don't you discuss it with me? I'm not ready yet. "

Wang Tian Ba was extremely shocked, his mind in full focus.

"Do you have anything else to pack? It's just a piece of old clothes. Don't forget that we left all our belongings in An Le County."

Finished speaking, Lu Yifeng pulled Wang Tianba out of the temple and they mounted a horse. Wang Tianba teased from the back of the horse:

"Sigh ~ A great future top master, now he actually wants to sit on two horses at the same time. The heavens truly have no eyes."

In front of him, Lu Yifeng suddenly began chanting.

"Since the heavens have descended upon us, we shall make them suffer first, exhaust their muscles and bones, starve their skin and muscles …"

"Don't give me that. Hurry up." Wang Tianba had a grumbling look on his face.

In an inn in An Prefecture, two men were conversing. The young man wore violet clothes, brimming with vigor and vitality. He said to the older man:

"Dad, what exactly is inside this box?" "Why did we give it to the Turks?"

The older man was about fifty years old, and his skin was as black as dirt. Several wrinkles were etched into his face, leaving his cheeks fleshless and his jawbones protruding. His eyes were sharp as an eagle's.

"I don't know what's inside. I can't open this box." He picked up the brown wooden box and looked at it. "We will give it to the Turkic. The Turkic promised to give us two thousand sharp blades from the Azure Dragon Society. By then, the problem of the guild's equipment allocation will be solved."

The purple-clothed man said in confusion, "But, our Azure Dragon School's absolute art is the Tiger Subduing Fist, how can we use a long blade?"

"Tiger Subduing Fist is an absolute art that only our hall masters have access to. How many in the gang are the elites? Even I have only practiced it to the ninth level." He said helplessly, "It's a peaceful day..." Although the world was peaceful now, the recent years were getting more and more chaotic. The various sects were annexing the small gangs one after another, and everyone was fighting in the open and in the dark. If we were to really fight against the other six great sects one day, wouldn't that mean that we, the Azure Dragon, are unarmed? "

Looking at the exquisite wooden box, the man named Tian An suddenly had a bad premonition.
