Chapter 275
Chapter 275 - Arrogance Is Virtue
It just so happened that it was night when Yin Xu arrived at Changshui County. He thought that the city would be peaceful and quiet, but in the end, he could only see strong men eating and drinking along the way.
They found the biggest inn in the county, but were told that there were no more empty rooms, the Jiang Hu people who were laughing in the lobby recognised Yin Xu, and assumed that the demon would chase them away, so they all held their weapons up to be on guard.
Who knew that the other party would turn around and leave without any intention of using brute force.
“Don't tell me that he's scared of us having too many people?” A young person from the martial arts world said proudly.
“Brat, you're so brave to even dare to say such words!” A bearded man gave him a thumbs up, and continued, “However, if you dare to say these words in front of Evil Sect, then you are a true expert!”
“Aren't you guys being too cowardly? I think it's just a kid. How can it be so scary? “
It had to be said that the appearance of the Seventh Young Master Huo was very upright, and there was no connection between the two words, devil.
Everyone laughed out loud. They all felt that this kid was definitely a newcomer to the martial arts world. His thoughts were too naive, and that he would suffer a loss sooner or later.
Not long after, news came from the outside that people from Evil Sect had moved into the county magistrate court. All the officials of Changshui County were alarmed and even knelt down to welcome them.
Don't think that the gangsters view power and money as dirt. They just don't want to be tied down and lack the character to benefit the people on both sides.
“Tsk! Tsk! How can the Evil Sect be considered a martial arts sect now? It's almost like a lackey of the imperial government!” Someone sarcastically said.
“So what? It's not like you care about them. If you have the ability, then kill yourself and make yourself the Sect Leader. “
“Pah, who wants to work with Evil Sect? These seven major sects are truly strange, to actually be able to agree to Evil Sect participating in the fight for the Alliance Master position, could it be that they have obtained some benefits? “
“You're just a lone wolf. Even if there's benefits, it's not yours. We're just here to watch the show, don't look for trouble.”
“Of course not.”
Originally, Yin Xu did not want to get too close to the officials of Chang Shui County.
However, he did not want to feel wronged. Moreover, everyone knew his true identity, so there was no need to hide it.
After sending off the officials who came to pay their respects, Yin Xu took a hot bath before going to bed. The journey was rushed, and even though he was seated in the carriage, he was still tired.
The next day, Yin Xu was woken up by Wang Ren. The little brat had been acting the role of the attendant all the way.
“Master, someone is looking for you outside the yamen.”
“Who is it?”
“It's junior apprentice-brother's family. They seem to have something to talk to you about.”
“Qing Family? What are they talking about with this young master? Let them wait. ” After Yin Xu finished washing up and eating breakfast, the people at the yamen, not knowing what he liked, brought over a very rich breakfast. Unfortunately, none of it suited him, and it was his little disciple who carefully brought over a plate of osmanthus cake.
After finishing their breakfast, the officials of Changshui County came back with gifts. Yin Xu did not waste time talking to them and asked them to accept the gifts.
His words greatly assured the officials. Changshui County was just a small coastal town, and the sudden arrival of so many Jianghu people was already a headache for the officials, but now, another commander had appeared. He was also a noble, and some of the more knowledgeable ones even knew that this commander was from the Huo Family.
“Go and invite the people from Qing Family in.” Yin Xu changed into a set of aqua blue brocade robes. Because he did not wear a belt, his hair was tied up high, giving him a youthful look.
When Qing Xiaoyan heard that Yin Xu had come to Changshui County to pay a visit, he did not fear the people from the other sects talking nonsense and immediately wanted to remove his title of Martial Union Master. Instead, he felt relaxed.
Unlike in the past, one had to consider one's reputation with every word or action one took into account when walking.
You two father and son haven't seen each other in a long time, it's a pity that the Sect is very busy, and he's also this Young Master's right hand man, you guys must be tired of him. “
Yin Xu's eloquence had skyrocketed, seeing others spouting nonsense, he learnt about seventy to eighty percent of it from Teng Yu, but usually when he didn't want to speak, he would do so, it was already giving Qing Xiaoyan a lot of face.
“It is my honor to be able to earn the Seventh Young Master's favor!” Qing Xiaoyan didn't know whether he was truly happy or if he was just faking it, but as long as he knew that his son was safe and sound, he would be satisfied.
They were all people that had made a trip to the gates of hell, so he was very interested in them.
However, he still tentatively mentioned, “It's my son's fortune to be able to take the Seventh Young Master as his master. It's just that he hasn't even gotten married yet and his family is extremely anxious. I don't know …”
“So my dear disciple hasn't gotten married yet.” Yin Xu looked like he had just found out about something. He waved his hand and generously guaranteed, “Don't worry, I'll find him a beautiful wife for him when we return this time. I don't want him to be lonely on the mountain.”
Qing Xiaoyan did not dare take it seriously, if he married the wrong wife, it would cause chaos in his family.
“To be honest, he had already found a good marriage. This old man came to ask Seventh Young Master if he could return home to make a marriage for him.”
“Oh? Which family's daughter is she from? ” Yin Xu asked with great interest.
Qing Xiaoyan stroked his beard, and said with a smile: “The children of the martial arts world, are considered equal to the Qing Family.” You don't know me anyway.
“Children of the martial arts world.” Yin Xu frowned and thought for a while, “I am not saying that the children of the martial arts world are bad, but Qingsheng's character, should be compatible with a girl from a noble family.”
He did not really care too much about Qingsheng, his disciple, but it was not enough to restrict his freedom, and even more so, it would not ruin his marriage relationship.
It was just that he felt that if Qingsheng were to be married to a righteous disciple, it would be difficult for Qingsheng to do anything in the future.
Furthermore, there were a lot of hot women in the martial arts world. Yin Xu liked women with a gentle personality.
“This… No way! “How could a brute like us be worthy of a lady? Don't harm her.”
Yin Xu glanced at him with raised eyebrows, “How could my disciple not be worthy enough to be the daughter of a first rank official?”
Qing Xiaoyan's head was filled with black lines, he really wanted to say that his disciple was not you, after all, a little brat that was in the martial arts world, which top official would take a liking to him?
But with Yin Xu's background, even if the other party didn't seem to be interested, he might still agree.
“This old man thanks Seventh Young Master for his good intentions, but that brat Qingsheng is like a child that hasn't grown up, this old man does not wish for him to interact too much with the rich and powerful families.”
Yin Xu nodded his head, “Then write him a letter, if you want to, you can choose to see who he is.”
Qing Xiaoyan was satisfied with these words, he stood up and cupped his hands, “Tomorrow is the day of the competition, tonight all the Sect Leader s will gather at Dexing House, Seventh Young Master must come as well.”
“Do what?”
“It's nothing much. I just wanted to communicate with each other and forge an alliance. After all, it's a martial arts battle, and fists and legs have no eyes. We have to discuss this beforehand.”
“No problem, I'll follow your decision. I have no objections.” Although it was a competition for the Martial Union Master, it was also a friendly competition between the various big sects. Not only did they want to fight for the position of Alliance Master, the various sects would also send out a few disciples to spar with each other.
It was rare to see such a grand gathering, so the various sects wanted to test the strength of the other sects.
Whether a sect could survive for a long period of time depended on their foundation, and secondly, whether their juniors were promising or not.
Even if Qing Family was not allowed to leave his position as Alliance Master today, there would still be no successors. Although the martial arts of the Qing Family's Eldest Young Master were not weak, he preferred to do business and did not like to waste time on matters of the martial arts world.
After Qing Xiaoyan left, more and more sects came to pay their respects. Yin Xu had rejected all of them, but to deal with Qing Xiaoyan, it was because of his good character that he knew what the rest of them were planning, so he did not have time to waste his time on them.
He spent half a day sleeping and half a day cultivating. Afterwards, he brought his little disciple to stroll around the night market in Changshui County.
The small town's night market was not big and there were not many people. People of the martial arts world were not interested in this kind of place and were more willing to gather at a place like a tavern.
Yin Xu found a few jade stones for his disciple and bought himself a fan. He had been acting like a scholar for the whole night, but when he passed by the flower street, he was almost robbed by the flower maiden.
How could Yin Xu fancy a woman from this place? He felt that it was beneath his dignity to watch the show, so he ran off with his little disciple at his back.
“Aiyo, why did that young master just run away? The Courtesan Belle of our building is extremely famous, and Young Master Duo would not be able to spend money here. However, it's fine even if he runs away, could little gongzi just go in and play with mother? “
Surrounded by a few flower women, Wang Ren suddenly extended a hand to wipe his face, “Yo, the young noble is so young, he hasn't even reached the age of one who knows his age yet, right? But don't worry, it's good for us to go in and gain some knowledge. “
“Scram!” Wang Ren grabbed his wrist, frowned, turned his hand, and screamed.
“Ah …” Why did little gongzi hurt people? “
The surrounding flower ladies all retreated, and the guards inside the pavilion, upon hearing the miserable cries, ran out and surrounded Wang Ren.
Wang Ren licked his lips, a faint smile appearing in his eyes. His Master said, if you want to know your level, you need to fight evenly with others, until you can't beat them.
His Master had also said that he had better not find an opponent that was stronger than him, otherwise it would be masochistic. It was also a part of his knowledge to distinguish between the strong and the weak.
He had not practiced martial arts for long, and neither the disciples of his family nor the disciples of the sects were willing to fight with him. This group of men with sticks in their hands looked very ferocious, and should be able to become his opponents.
He was the first to make a move, knocking down an unprepared guard in one move. When the others saw this, they all started to attack, someone clamored, “Kid, you are still young but you are still ruthless. I will teach you a lesson in place of your parents so that you won't be arrogant!”
Wang Ren had neutralized the attack of a man, and was even thinking: Master said, arrogance is a virtue, I can bully those who are weaker than me as I please.
On a big tree on the street, Yin Xu was swinging his legs while sitting on a tree branch, biting on the newly bought food and watching his disciple get beaten up, occasionally commenting on him, as if he did not care about Wang Ren's safety at all.
