Ye Zi's pupils suddenly shrank when his opponent's gaze recklessly swept over him. He felt an aura stronger than Zhao Jun's from this man, but deeper than Zhao Jun's. Could it be, this man was a Martial Cultivator?!
There was actually a Martial Cultivator hidden in the city? Also, this person was surnamed Ding and was acquainted with Lee Chengdong. Lee Chengdong called him Elder Brother Ding, so he was obviously not Lee Chengdong's lackey. What was this person's relationship with the Elder Brother Ding that Ye Dong spoke of?
Although he was not in the government, even the officials had to respect him a little. His cousin had mentioned that there was someone who was going against him, but he disappeared without a trace, making people suspicious and unable to find him, as if he had never existed. His cousin had warned him that he should be careful when dealing with such a person.
Even though he was unhappy about it, he maintained his usual smile and nodded, "Then I'll do as you wish." Ding Xu put his arm around Ye Zi's shoulder and gave him a meaningful glance back. It was enough to let the other party know that he was defending Ye Zi. Ding Xu smiled even more wantonly and made an inviting gesture.
Zhao Jun, who came back from the parking lot, vigilantly followed behind Tang Lingqiu. The latter could feel the threat from Ding Xu, as he had wandered around the edge of danger several times before to deal with the Death God, so how could he not feel it? He even felt a fatal threat, so his whole body tensed up and he was on high alert.
As Wang Shujie followed them in, he looked at the girls in the room warily. He had previously said that Ye Wen was her classmate? Ye Wen had a female classmate that was hostile towards him?
As a result, Lee Chengdong and Pan Jingwen were left behind. Pan Jingwen originally wanted to use Lee Chengdong's status to ridicule Ye Zi and Tang Lingqiu, but the situation completely didn't go according to her wishes, and it was the same for Elder Brother Ding in the antique shop. Occasionally, he would look at her with disdain, making her, who was naturally arrogant, feel like she had been slapped several times.
"Lee Chengdongson, who the hell is this Elder Brother Ding? Wasn't he just the owner of an antique shop? And where did Young Master Tang come from for Elder Brother Ding to leave you to greet him? " These words were said with the intention to sow discord, and a hint of anger flashed across Lee Chengdong's eyes. However, thinking of how his father had told him not to offend Ding Xu, and how Ding Xu had quickly calmed down, his actions were not without reason.
He glanced at Pan Jingwen unhappily and said, "If you want to know, then go in and take a look. You don't need to be petty in front of me. Don't think you're smart."
"..." "Yes, Chengdong." Even though she was unhappy, Pan Jingwen could only bite her lip and endure. Even if nothing happened to her family, she could only lower her head in front of Lee Chengdong. But now, she desperately needed his identity.
Lee Chengdong pinched her face, teased her, then turned back into the shop.
He had always liked to play with young women, fresh and delicious. With his status, he didn't need to be forced, so naturally someone would come knocking on his door. However, he was toyed with before, it was a pity that that that bitch wasn't here, otherwise Lee Chengdong would let her know how amazing she was. This one was not as open as she was, but what Lee Chengdong liked was that this girl was still a chick. She didn't mind spoiling it before she plucked this fresh and tender fruit.
Tang Lingqiu and the others were taken directly to the VIP reception area on the second floor. This place was arranged in an old-fashioned way, and Ding Xu himself was wearing a long gown today, which seemed to complement the environment here, as if he was in another time and space.
After Ding Xu invited the group of people to take a seat, someone brought some tea upstairs and placed it in front of them before respectfully leaving.
"Please! "It's not good tea, please try it on Young Master Tang." Ding Xu raised his hand to show his respect.
Tang Lingqiu took a whiff of the fragrant tea and said with a smile, "Mr. Ding, you're too courteous. Even the tea that I usually drink can't compare to the tea that I drink here."
"Haha, Young Master Tang is flattering us. He is here to entertain our esteemed guest. Does Young Master Tang usually study antiques? " Ding Xu looked around Tang Lingqiu.
Tang Lingqiu put down his teacup: "I've watched the elders enjoy it at home, but I haven't studied it myself. With my eyes, I'm afraid I've missed out on the treasures in Mr. Ding's shop."
While they were talking, Lee Chengdong also brought Pan Jingwen upstairs. When he saw Ding Xu entertaining the guests here, he knew how much he valued the other person's identity. Ding Xu didn't ask why he had returned, and only said: "Young Master Li, sorry for the inconvenience."
"How can that be? What relationship do I have with Elder Brother Ding? It's naturally more important to entertain the guests." Lee Chengdong was very polite.
"I just heard from your girlfriend that this little brother is her classmate?" Ding Xu brought up the topic of conversation with interest towards Ye Zi, who was sitting quietly to the side. The latter looked up in surprise and frowned. Could this person have seen through his situation? What was his goal?
"Is that so?" Tang Lingqiu replied indifferently, obviously unwilling to continue this kind of question.
Lee Chengdong gestured to Pan Jingwen beside him, "I seem to have heard from Jingwen just now, how could your classmate be so strange?"
Pan Jingwen looked up with a reserved smile. She wanted to explain something, but didn't expect Ye Zi to open his mouth at this moment: "We're classmates, but not too familiar."
The former's expression stiffened, but he quickly bit his lips and revealed a condescending expression. After Ye Zi finished his sentence, he immediately drank his tea and treated the other person as nothing.
"Haha," Lee Chengdong tried to smooth things over, "Since we're all classmates, how could we not be familiar with each other? Let's take some pictures of each other in the future."
Wang Shujie gasped and gritted his teeth as he saw this. No wonder Ye Zi didn't like this girl. Even he felt uncomfortable with her, so why was she pretending? Did she think Ye Wen was bullying her? She clearly looked down on Ye Zichen earlier.
Ding Xu seemed to have achieved his goal and stopped continuing. He clapped his hands and got someone to bring over a few items from the store, which were called "Enjoy the experience together". The antiques on the second floor were also all rare items, so he was welcome to take a look.
Wang Shujie felt itchy in his heart. He looked around, but still, he gave up. Was this thing really for free? So he pretended to drink tea with Ye Zi, even though the tea didn't taste as good as the mountain tea at home.
Ding Xu brought a total of three treasures: one was a porcelain vase with blue and white flowers, the other was a bracelet with jade beads. Not only were the jade beads made from fine white jade, but they were also carved into Buddha statues that were vivid and lifelike.
Previously on the street stall, Ye Zi had seen a few items with an extremely thin layer of spiritual energy on them. He had suspected that those items were really antique, and even when entering this shop, he could feel a slight spiritual energy fluctuation. When these three antiques were carefully brought over, Ye Zi sent the Spiritual Energy into his eyes and immediately saw the faces of the three antiques.
The blue and white porcelain vase didn't have any reaction. The Jade Bead Buddha Statue's bracelet was covered in a layer of golden spirit energy, congealing but not dissipating. It merged with the bracelet and carried a sacred aura. The last bronze blade also had a layer of spirit energy that wasn't as thick as the bracelet, but it was still more than what he had seen on the outside. He couldn't help but return to the blue and white porcelain bottle.
"Are these three really that good?" What I value the most is this string of buddhist beads. When I first found it, I heard that it was once the personal possession of a master buddha of the East Ocean Continent. I don't know if it's the real thing, but it does have the effect of calming my mind. Ding Xu had always been proud of this treasure. Although it cost a lot less than the other two treasures, he usually carried it around with him. He would sometimes keep it here as a shop treasure.
Zhao Jun looked at it carefully and nodded at Tang Lingqiu. It might be the real thing. Ye Zi did not expect to have such a great background. Could it be that the golden spiritual energy on top of it was the aura of a Buddhist? That would indeed be of great help to martial artists.
Tang Lingqiu picked it up and played with it for a while before putting it down. He raised his head and smiled, "It must be something good to be able to enter Mr. Ding's eyes. I've said that I've only seen my family's elders play, and I don't really understand it myself."
"Haha, Young Master Tang is too modest. On the other hand, this blue and white porcelain bottle was only collected a few days ago. Ding Xu pointed at the bottle.
Ye Zi's mouth moved but he did not say anything. Ding Xu noticed his reaction and asked with a smile, "Little brother, if you have something to say, please say it."
Lili had not expected Ding Xu to ask Davy. She looked up in surprise, a flicker of contempt in her eyes, expecting to be able to hide the fact that he had come from a poor country by Young Master Tang's side. Seemingly relieved of Ye Zi's predicament, he said, "Ye Zi's family was in the mountain village, and they probably saw it out of curiosity for a while." He smiled apologetically at Ye Zi.
Ye Zi glanced at him lightly and turned around to look at Tang Lingqiu.
The latter patted his arm and said, "If you have something to say, then say it. I believe that since Mr. Dink has spoken, he will not mind."
"That's right. I have friends that come from all over the world. I only care about myself and not where I come from." Pan Jingwen was embarrassed by Lee Chengdong's words. He turned around and glared at her in displeasure. Was she really allowed to say anything in this kind of situation?
Ye Zi smiled and said, "I really don't know about antiques, but these three things give me a different feeling, especially the difference between this bottle and the other two."
Ding Xu raised his eyebrows. Of course, he knew the latter two. They were real and couldn't be faked. Could it be that the blue and white porcelain vase that was too different from them was real? He did not have much confidence when he looked at it previously, so he had to check it out carefully this time around. "Thank you for your reminder, Mr. Ye. I will pay attention."
Tang Lingqiu and the other three refused the lunch invitations of Ding Xu and Lee Chengdong and left with Ding Xu's business card. Even Ye Zi got one.
Lee Chengdong let Pan Jingwen stay by his side as he followed her to Ding Xu's office. Upon entering the door, he asked, "Elder Brother Ding, why do you care so much about that surnamed Tang?"
Ding Xu gave him a meaningful look and said, "Do you see the people around him? That's someone who actually saw blood on their hands from a special forces unit. Who do you think brought such a person with them? Does your Young Master Li? "
Lee Chengdong blushed from his ridicule, and was surprised: "Really? "Of course, I'm not doubting Elder Brother Ding's judgement. How could Elder Brother Ding misjudge me? Right, that Xie fella also has a similar driver. Could it be that the background behind these two is that big?"
Ding Xu looked out of the window and said without turning his head, "If you still want to stay in N City, you'd better not mess with these two."
"Don't tell me you don't even dare to, Elder Brother Ding?" Lee Chengdong was not convinced. He was used to being overbearing, how could he endure someone climbing onto his head, especially when these cousins were always rude to him. He was still thinking about how to beat them up.
"What I dare not do is not what you need to ask, Young Master Li. Young Master Li, turn around and help me persuade my useless brother. There's less to see. I can shield him for a while, but not for the rest of his life." Ding Xu's tone carried a hint of warning.
Lee Chengdong left while holding back his anger. He did not look good towards Pan Jingwen, who was beside him.
Returning to the car, the atmosphere was heavy. Wang Shujie heartlessly asked, "What's wrong with you guys? Why aren't they talking? Is that Ding guy really that scary? " No matter how stubborn Tang Lingqiu was, he could tell that Tang Lingqiu's group had undergone some changes due to Ding Xu.
"He is the Martial Cultivator, he is most likely the descendant of an ancient martial arts disciple." Zhao Jun said seriously.
"This is the descendant of the ancient martial arts? I can feel that his aura is much deeper than Wu Tie's. If I were to fight with him, I won't be able to win right now. " Ye Zi thought that ancient martial arts was something that only existed in legends.
Tang Lingqiu laughed lightly and said, "I never thought that there would be such a person hiding in N city. But I heard that the people from the ancient martial family also have their own rules, so there's no need to be nervous. Besides, I can't tell what kind of person Ding Xu is right now."
To be honest, he had been quite confident when he easily dealt with Ye Dong and Su Ergou. Now that he could see the reality clearly, there was a person in N City who was related to Ding Xu, and he didn't know what kind of person was there. B City was definitely a place with crouching tigers and hidden dragons, so he couldn't let down his guard.
"Is there really an ancient martial family?" "Ye-zi, then is he the same as us?" Wang Shujie asked curiously, but he was also a bit excited after coming into contact with a different world.
Ye Zi shook his head and said, "I'm not sure. I've never been in contact with those people before, so I can't compare."
Zhao Jun turned around and looked at Tang Lingqiu. Previously, the two of them guessed that Ye Zi obtained some ancient martial arts inheritance. Could it be that even he himself didn't know?
Tang Lingqiu then said, "Cousin mentioned that there is a person surnamed Ding in the city, but this person usually appears and doesn't know much about him. Instead, he has an older brother called Ding Chang, who is quite active in the city and owns several entertainment clubs.
Previously, he didn't understand why his cousin Ding Chang could eat both black and white. However, since he had met Ding Xu today and contacted him with the possibility of becoming a Ancient Martial Cultivator, it made sense. However, his cousin's evaluation of Ding Chang wasn't too high.
"Ding Chang?" Ye Zi was a little surprised. Could it be that the Elder Brother Ding that Ye Dong mentioned was not Ding Xu, but Ding Chang? Big Brother Tang's description was more consistent with it.
"What's wrong?" Tang Lingqiu noticed the difference and asked.
Ye Zi shook his head and said, "I happened to hear Ye Dong mention Elder Brother Ding in the city and even said that he wanted to be under this Elder Brother Ding's command. Now, it seems that the Elder Brother Ding that he's talking about is the Ding Chang that you're talking about."
Tang Lingqiu patted his shoulder and said: "Keep Ding Xu's name card. I would like to know if Ding Chang has his current status and position because of this little brother of his, Ancient Martial Cultivator." Ye Zi nodded.
Due to this incident, the four of them did not continue strolling around. They found a random restaurant in the city for lunch and then drove back to Taoyuan Village.
Tang Lingqiu suddenly thought of something on the car back, "Ye, can you really tell that there's something wrong with that blue and white porcelain vase?" He would not think that Ye Zi had spoken carelessly.
Ye Zi thought for a while and said, "The smell is different, the bracelet is a Buddhist item, I can feel the holy aura of Buddha, but I can also feel something different, even if that porcelain bottle is normal, I don't know if my feelings are right."
Zhao Jun nodded his head with certainty: "I also feel that his actions are not ordinary. He should be very helpful to those who practice martial arts."
"Then Ye did help Ding Xu. I believe he won't cause you any trouble." Tang Lingqiu purposely said this to appease Ye Zi. Tang Lingqiu smiled, but decided to use the rest of his vacation to train diligently.
When he got home, he took the jade from the car to Ye Zi's room, Ye Zi then showed him the jade pendant he bought for his grandfather, telling him some interesting stories about the city, but he tacitly did not mention Ding Xu, afraid that his grandfather would be worried, at the same time Ye Zi also wanted to find some time to meet the old man from the town. He hoped that it was the Martial Cultivator who was better, because it was better to be able to understand the situation in that world, than to be able to see the dark.
Ye Zi said this to Wang Shujie, the latter did not disagree, wait for Ye Zi to go to him to lead the way.
Ye Zi led Tang Lingqiu around the village, but when he saw the villagers looking at him as if he was an observer, he led them to the back and went to Phoenix-tail Mountain, which they had only gone to in the morning.
"Big Brother Tang, do you want to practice martial arts?" Ye Zi suddenly asked.
Tang Lingqiu turned around and looked at Ye Zi with a gentle gaze. After a while, he said, "If Leaves wants to teach me, I'll follow suit. As long as Leaves doesn't mind Big Brother Tang's stupidity."
He quickly shook off the strange feeling in his heart, looked away, and said: "Maybe Big Brother Tang just started to learn to suffer more than Shujie at this age, but I will help Big Brother Tang bathe with the medicine, and the effect will be better."
"Alright, I'll listen to you, Ye." Tang Lingqiu happily let out a low laugh. Having Ye Zi's words, Tang Lingqiu was truly happy. In the morning, Tang Lingqiu's heart was a little sour when he saw stupid big guy being bestowed with great effort by Ye Zi. However, now that he heard Ye Zi's words, it could be seen that he had been thinking about him for a long time, which also proved that he was a special existence in Ye Zi's heart.
"Oh yeah, I almost forgot. Is it okay if you teach it to others, Ye-zi?" From what I know, the ancient martial arts families and sects have strict rules. " Tang Lingqiu's tone became serious.
"Then wouldn't it be fine for Big Brother Tang to join my sect?" Ye Zi suddenly blinked and said.
Tang Lingqiu was stunned for a moment before laughing out loud: "Okay, then let's listen to Ye. What's the name of our sect? Then what should I call you, Ye? Sect Leader Senior Brother or Junior Brother? " Since he couldn't be his master, he was a bit lacking, and he definitely couldn't do it.
Ah? What Ye Zi said just now was just a joke. Could it be that Big Brother Tang took it for real? Wu Tie scratched his head and thought of what he had learned and the natural body tempering technique he had taught them. "That …" Why not call it the 'Nature's Gate'? This set of cultivation technique is called 'Natural Resolution', and the medicinal bath is also compatible with it. After the advancement, the medicinal bath will also have its corresponding changes. Big Brother Tang is older than me, so I might as well be his junior, hehe. " It sounded a bit awkward, but he was still used to calling himself Big Brother Tang.
Tang Lingqiu was stunned for a moment. Then, he couldn't help but hold Ye Zi in his arms and hugged him tightly before letting go. He rubbed Tang Lingqiu's head and said, "Okay, then let's call him 'Nature's Gate'.
Therefore, on the mountainside, Ye Zi dissected the thirty-six movements of the first picture of the natural technique and explained them in detail to Tang Lingqiu. Unlike Wang Shujie, Big Brother Tang couldn't be by his side at all times, and hands-on teaching was not a problem for the latter. Therefore, Ye Zi wanted to explain as much as possible, and even demonstrated himself while he was talking.
During the second time Ye Zi recited it, Tang Lingqiu had already recorded all the important points one by one, and was also practicing the first set of movements under Ye Zi's leadership. Worried that Big Brother Tang would not be able to get started, Ye Zi even used his own Spiritual Energy s to help Tang Lingqiu straighten out the corresponding mental cultivation method and lead him to the second set of movements.
After he left, he left a few Spiritual Energy inside Tang Lingqiu's body, which allowed Tang Lingqiu to finish the first set of movements faster than Wang Shujie. Of course, this was in the future, Tang Lingqiu was currently trying to taste Ye Zi's pain, and this was true … It was not an ordinary suffering, but he was also a person with extraordinary perseverance and perseverance.
When he went down the mountain, it was Ye Zi who supported Tang Lingqiu, because he did not bring any water cups, he did not have the ability to replenish the spirit spring water of the Spirit Accumulating Fluid that he used to treat Wang Shujie, but when he returned to the Taoyuan Village, Tang Lingqiu told Ye Zi that there was a warm feeling in his body that helped him recover his aching body, and the speed at which he recovered was beyond his expectations.
Ye Zi only thought that it was Tang Lingqiu's amazing talent that produced such results on his first try of cultivation. He did not think much of it, but Tang Lingqiu guessed that the credit would go to Ye Wen.
