save the bachelors

Chapter 4183 4185 [Misery Life]

Because Tianshan Mountain is 5,000 miles away from the capital, Xiang Nan had to use the Apparition technique four times before he could return to the Hulong Villa in the capital from Tianshan Mountain.

Because the farther the Apparition distance is, the higher the danger. Generally speaking, a thousand miles is considered a very long distance. Almost no one in the entire magical world can Apparite across continents.

Even a powerful wizard like Voldemort had to fly a certain distance before he could Apparate when rushing back to England from Germany. Therefore, wizards usually choose to take Muggle transportation such as ships and planes when traveling to other continents.

For example, when Newt Scamander went to the United States, he chose a ship; when he went to France, he chose to sneak across using a portkey; when Irene and Tobias went to Australia, they chose a plane...

Fortunately, it didn't take long after four apparitions.

It took Xiang Nan half an hour to reach Tianshan, but when he came back, it took him less than a cup of tea.

No one would have thought that he had traveled back and forth from Tianshan in such a short time.

……

After returning to the Huolong Villa, Xiang Nan removed the Muggle shielding spell and then came to the square in front of the villa.

Then Tiedan Shenhou was seen telling a story to Shangguan Haitang and Duan Tianya, telling them about how he had taken in Duan Tianya and Shangguan Haitang that day.

Duan Tianya's fate was also extremely tragic. When he was a child, his father was killed by a bully, and his mother was also raped by the bully. The bully not only beat and scolded him, but also shamelessly insulted his sister.

Eventually his mother and sister committed suicide by jumping into a well, while he fled into the woods with a sharp knife, sharpened it very quickly in the woods, and then stabbed the bully to death when he was not paying attention.

After killing him, Duan Tianya was still unwilling to give up and watched the wild beasts eat his body, leaving him with no place to be buried.

It was because of his determination and murderous aura that Tiedan Shenhou adopted him as his adopted son.

Haitang's fate is equally tragic.

She was originally the daughter of Haijiabao and had lived a wealthy life since childhood. However, a group of thieves mistakenly believed that her family had a large amount of gold hidden, so they broke into Haijiabao and slaughtered her family.

In order to survive, she had to pretend to be dead, lying among the enemies without eating, drinking or moving, for five days.

Even though the corpse stank, maggots were everywhere, and her mouth was dry and she was in great pain, she did not expose herself.

Finally, the Iron-hearted God defeated the robbers and rescued her from the dead. The God admired her perseverance, patience and wisdom, so he adopted her as his daughter.

……

After listening to the story told by Shen Hou, Haitang and Duan Tianya were both very moved. They didn't expect that each other's life stories were so tragic.

"Godfather, then why did you take the knife?" Duan Tianya asked curiously.

"In fact, Yidao's life experience is very mysterious, and he is unwilling to tell anyone, so I know very little about it." Shen Hou explained.

"With the information network of Hulong Villa, can't you find out his background?" Haitang asked in surprise.

The news network of Hulong Villa spread all over the world, and it can be said that all major events in the world are under control. If even the Godly Candidate does not know the details of Yidao, it would be too mysterious.

"Of course I can find it." Shen Hou waved his hand, "But there are only four words, but it is enough."

"Since foster father is relieved, we won't ask any more questions." Haitang said sensibly. "Being able to find you three is the most proud achievement of my life." Shenhou nodded.

"My godfather's martial arts are invincible in the world. He even defeated the undefeated naughty boy Gu Santong and imprisoned him in the Heavenly Prison until now. Such an achievement is the most rare." Duan Tianya said.

"It is difficult to master martial arts to perfection, but it is even more difficult to have a discerning eye and find a disciple who is better than you." Shen Hou explained.

"Since foster father values ​​us so much, why doesn't he teach us martial arts himself, but instead lets Brother Duan go to Fuso to learn Iga-style ninjutsu, lets Yidao join Jueqing Villa to learn Jueqing Slash, and lets me learn music, chess, calligraphy, painting, medicine, and astrology from Master Wuhen?" Haitang asked puzzled.

"Because what I want are four people, each with their own expertise and abilities, not my four shadows," Shen Hou explained.

Xiang Nan knew in his heart that the reason why Tiedan Shenhou did not teach them martial arts was entirely to guard against them.

He was familiar with the martial arts of the three men, but they knew nothing about him. Therefore, once they fought, he knew both himself and his enemy, and he would never be in danger. If the three of them attacked together, they would probably not be able to defeat him.

Just like Xiong Ba in "Feng Yun", when he taught his three disciples, he kept some skills back and didn't teach them all the martial arts. Moreover, he didn't teach the strongest martial arts, Sanfen Guiyuanqi, at all.

That is why when his three disciples rebelled against him, he easily defeated them. If Nie Feng and Bu Jingyun had not had another adventure and learned the Ao Han Six Secrets, the Twenty-two Swords, the Mahamudra and other martial arts, they would not be Xiong Ba's opponents at all.

……

"I see." Xiang Nan said, "I thought you didn't teach us martial arts because you were afraid that we would figure out your martial arts. If one day you want to get rid of us, we will all be lambs to be slaughtered, without any ability to fight back."

"Yidao, why do you always think so pessimistically? Our adoptive father has been so kind to us, how could he..." Haitang retorted immediately after hearing this.

In her heart, Shen Hou was like her biological father, and she would never believe that Shen Hou would kill them one day.

"Nothing matters more than a word from the Emperor. If the Emperor asks my foster father to kill us, I guess he will definitely not show mercy." Xiang Nan glanced at Haitang and said.

"You are right." Shen Hou nodded.

"I still believe that there are more beautiful things in the world." Duan Tianya still chose to believe in Shen Hou.

"I don't blame you. If you knew about Yidao's experience of learning Jueqingzhan, you would know why he thought so." Shenhou explained.

It turns out that the process of learning Jueqing Zhan is very cruel. Every year, the disciples of Jueqing Villa have to fight against each other. And the opponent is their good friend. Every year, the friends have to kill each other, and only one can survive.

After seven years, out of 128 people, only one remained. This person was Gui Hai Yi Dao, and the last person he wanted to kill was his master Ba Dao.

Gui Hai Yidao's heart became cold and ruthless because of this, and he thus realized the heart method of Jueqingzhan: "No feelings, no righteousness, no pity, no love, no relatives, no friends, no heaven, no earth, no gods, no devils, between heaven and earth, there is only my sword."

Therefore, he was skeptical about everything. Even towards his adoptive father, Tiedan Shenhou, he would not trust him 100% and always remained wary.

"He killed his own master with one knife?" Haitang asked in surprise.

This is a big taboo in the martial arts world.

"You can say that." Shen Hou nodded. "Two years later, someone saw Ba Dao on the street. He had become a fruit vendor. He never mentioned martial arts and never used a knife again. Even the fruit was peeled by a waiter. He just played with his wife and children every day."

"It seems that he has regained his love for his family and friends." Duan Tianya nodded, "I hope that one day, I can put down the knife like him."

"I promise you, this day is not far away." Shen Hou nodded.
