save the bachelors

Chapter 4307 4309 [Staying Overnight in a Deserted Village]

“Wait, wait~” Xiang Nan saw this and quickly stopped them, “It’s not that we don’t want to help you, after all, you saved our lives.

How about this, we go to Pengcheng first, it's a big city, there must be Hengtai Bank there. When the time comes, we will exchange the silver and leave you a part, enough for you to live on for the rest of your life. Then we will go to Taiyuan and seek refuge with Miss Li, and after we have mastered martial arts, we will go and take revenge. "

Upon hearing this, Xu Ziling nodded in agreement.

"Thank you very much, gentlemen." Upon hearing this, Kanan nodded.

"You're welcome. My name is Kou Zhong and his name is Xu Ziling. Just call us by our names." Xiang Nan waved his hand.

"Yes, young lady, we are all from poor backgrounds, not gentlemen, you don't have to call us that." Xu Ziling also waved his hand and smiled, "By the way, what's your name, young lady?"

"My name is Wan Wan." Wan Wan replied, "Master Zhong, Master Ling, thank you for helping me. I am willing to be your slave and give you a gift to repay your kindness."

"You're welcome. We are all orphans, and we share the same fate." Xiang Nan waved his hand and said, "Besides, you just saved us, didn't you?"

"Yes, you're welcome. We are all people of the world." Xu Ziling also nodded.

"Let's go, find a place to rest and eat something, we have to keep going later." Xiang Nan said.

Kanan and Xu Ziling both nodded.

……

The three of them picked some wild fruits on the way, then stopped to rest for a while, and then continued on their journey.

On the way, Xiang Nan caught two rabbits and a badger.

In the evening, they came to a deserted mountain village.

In ancient times, there were many such villages. Plague, war, banditry, drought, floods, locust plagues... could easily destroy one, or even dozens or hundreds of villages.

They walked around the village and chose a house that was relatively well preserved and should have been the home of a wealthy family in the village.

Xiang Nan found a kitchen knife and killed the rabbit and badger; Xu Ziling found a wooden barrel and went to the stream to fetch water; Kanan was also busy and cleaned up the house.

Half an hour later, the pot of stew was ready.

"Hey, it smells so good~" Kanan sniffed and said in surprise.

I didn’t expect that Xiang Nan, who looks a bit rough, is actually a good cook.

"If you like it, eat more. You've worked hard today." Xiang Nan said with a smile.

"Thank you, Young Master Zhong, for your concern. I'm not tired." Kanan waved her hand.

"Let's eat." Xiang Nan nodded.

After the meal, Kanan took the initiative to clean up the dishes.

"I wonder how many days it will take to reach Pengcheng?" Xu Ziling said to Xiang Nan, "It's really too much for her to have to run away with us."

"If we take the main road, we can reach Pengcheng in three or four days. But we are taking the small road, which will double the distance and take another six or seven days." Xiang Nan analyzed, "There is no other way. We are forced by the situation. We will just have to wait until we reach Pengcheng."

Xu Ziling nodded.

"I didn't expect that Ren Shaoming alone could chase us away to the point where we have no way to go up to the sky or enter the earth." Xiang Nan sighed again, "I don't know how powerful his master Yu Wenhuaji is."

"Mr. Zhong, you are not scared, are you?" Xu Ziling said with a smile.

"Of course not, I just felt inspired." Xiang Nan waved his hand and said, "I originally thought that if I could master the Secret of Immortality, I would at least be a first-rate expert and could go anywhere in the world.

I didn't expect that we couldn't handle just Ren Shaoming. It seems that our martial arts are still not good enough. Well, no more nonsense, let's practice Yijian swordsmanship right away."

Xu Ziling nodded.

The two of them then began to practice.

… The swordplay of Yijian emphasizes the use of people to play chess with swords, using swords to play chess with the enemy, anticipating the enemy's moves and taking the initiative.

The moves are actually not important; what is important is the sword principles and mental methods.

Only by fully understanding the sword principles of "anticipating the enemy's moves and striking first", as well as the mental method of "being detached from the world and seeing things clearly from a bystander's perspective", can one bring this sword technique to its full potential.

Xiang Nan and Xu Ziling are both martial arts geniuses. The first time they heard Fu Jun'er teach the Yijian sword technique, they had already thoroughly comprehended the sword principles and mental methods of the technique. Now all they lack is practice.

The two of them then used wooden sticks as swords and began to practice Yijian swordplay.

When it comes to swordsmanship, Xiang Nan is still considered one of the top masters in the world. Even if Fu Cailin were reborn, he might not be able to defeat him.

Although Xu Ziling had just started learning swordsmanship, he was actually a rare martial arts genius with extraordinary comprehension. The book described him as "once in a thousand years."

Therefore, when the two of them practiced sword fighting, although Xiang Nan had the upper hand, Xu Ziling was not completely powerless to fight back.

The two of them attacked and I defended, one took the initiative in every move, and the other used defense as offense. The fight was very lively, with frequent clever moves and it was thrilling, which even surprised Kanan.

I didn't expect that their swordsmanship was so superb. In terms of swordsmanship alone, they could be compared with top swordsmen.

But then again, inner strength is the root of everything.

Without the support of strong internal energy, it is difficult to hurt people no matter how high your swordsmanship is, and it is even difficult to get close to them.

……

Xiang Nan and Xu Ziling practiced swordsmanship until late at night.

"Master Zhong, Master Ling, I have boiled some hot water for you to wash. Take off your clothes and I will help you wash." said Kanan.

"No need to bother, Master Ling and I can just go to the stream and have a rinse." Xiang Nan waved his hand and said, "Miss Qianqian has worked hard all day, go to bed early."

Having said that, he and Xu Ziling left the house, went to the stream, took off their clothes, and took a shower.

The stream water was a little cold for them, but bearable.

After all, they all have internal strength to protect themselves, and are much stronger than ordinary people.

After taking a shower, I also rinsed off my sweaty and smelly clothes.

Afterwards, the two of them each used their internal energy to dry their clothes quickly, and then returned to their residence.

"Master Zhong, Master Ling, I will wait for you to rest." Kankan came forward and said.

"Oh, no, I'm not used to being served." Xiang Nan waved his hand and said, "You should serve Ling Shao."

"I'm not used to being served either." Xu Ziling also waved his hand, jumped up, and rushed back to his room first.

"Young Master Zhong~" Kanan's beautiful eyes moved as she looked at Xiang Nandao.

At this moment, two strange noises, "Ga" were heard.

"Oh, what's that sound~" Kanan hid in Xiang Nan's arms, looking frightened.

Xiang Nan was filled with warmth and fragrance, and could vaguely feel Kankan's delicate and smooth skin, which made his heart move for a moment.

"Don't be afraid, it's just the sound of a bird. Judging from the sound, it should be a night owl." He then took a step back, waved his hand and smiled, thinking that the witch from the Demon Sect was indeed naturally charming and seductive.

"I'm most afraid of night owls." Qianqian said quickly, "Master Zhong, why don't I sing a song, and then you won't be so afraid."

"Just sing if you want to." Xiang Nan nodded.

Kanan then began to sing. Her voice was gentle and charming, but Xiang Nan knew that it was actually the devil's sound, which could create illusions and confuse people's minds, similar to soul-stealing magic, mind-control magic, hypnosis, etc.
