The road to Jianghu started from the martial arts hall

Chapter 12 Humanity and Sophistication
Old Master Li's heart bled as he looked at the porcelain bottle in Fang Xun's hand.

Qingyun Pills are welfare resources distributed by Broken Sword Villa to the post-natal realm disciples for cultivation. They are rarely circulated in the outside world, at least the Li family does not have the ability to obtain them.

The one given to Fang Xun was the one Li Xiu left when he returned home to visit his family four months ago.

By that time, Li Xiu had already broken through to the twelfth level of the acquired realm and no longer needed this pill, but it was a treasure to the Li family and they were reluctant to use it.

Originally, Mr. Li wanted to use the best steel on the blade, and planned to give it to the best among the younger generation of the Li family after they grew up.

But the situation is critical now and we can’t care so much.

In addition to this Qingyun Pill, the rude apology made by the fourth young master of the Li family and the extra reward given to Fang Xun in addition to the Qingyun Pill, added up to make Mr. Li feel more and more painful.

However, in order to overcome this difficulty, the Li family must spend a lot of money, otherwise they will not be able to resist the attack of the men in green by themselves.

Fang Xun checked it for a while, and when he felt that the pill was fine, he closed the bottle cap and put it away.

"Mr. Li, we'll be leaving first. See you tomorrow."

"You two, walk slowly."

After a brief farewell, Mr. Li looked at the master and disciple leaving, a flash of anger in his eyes, but it immediately turned into helplessness and frustration.

Fang Xun and Wei Lin did not speak along the way. After they left the street where Li's residence was located and walked for a while until they were near the pier, he suddenly asked Wei Lin.

"Master, why did you let that man go?"

He knew the strength of his own master. Sayings like "carelessness" and "not noticing for a moment" were just jokes to Wei Lin and were just excuses to appease Mr. Li.

If he really wanted to, the man in green would never be able to slip away.

After hearing this, Wei Lin shook his head and sighed helplessly.

"You are still young and don't understand many things. Jianghu is not about fighting and killing, but about the ways of the world."

"The man in green and I had a few words in between our fights. It seems that he has a blood feud with the Li family, and he is the victim."

"Things involving old grudges like this are the most troublesome. It's easy to kill him, but then other disciples of the Great Zen Temple and even the master who taught me will come to ask for an explanation."

Hearing this, Fang Xun frowned.

He was not surprised by Wei Lin's choice.

It sounds cool to be dressed in fine clothes, ride a horse, and travel the world with a sword, taking revenge. However, it would be disgusting if the object of revenge is yourself.

People who practice martial arts are full of vigor and vitality, and it is common for them to help their relatives instead of others when they get too excited.

In the final analysis, the man in green has a strong backer, and Wei Lin cannot expect that the man in green's senior teachers, relatives and friends are all people who understand the situation, so he has to be cautious when taking action.

After thinking for a while, Fang Xun asked again: "Then why did Master agree to let me stay in Li Mansion? If the man in green really attacks again within ten days, it would not be worth it to just take a Qingyun Pill and some silver and herbs."

He was still a little nervous. He was no match for the man in green right now. If he really met him, the best he could do was to escape.

Wei Lin smiled and shook his head: "You, although you are young, don't have the courage of a newborn calf that is not afraid of a tiger.

You can't be too calculating about gains and losses. If the man in green doesn't come, you will get the reward from the Li family in vain. If he comes, it would be great to be able to fight with such a big sect and gain some experience."

Without waiting for Fang Xun to reply, he continued, "Although I let him go this time, I also injured him. He will take two or three months to recover.

If you were to face him now, I wouldn't say you would win, but you would be able to escape unscathed and protect yourself."

Fang Xun nodded with a look of sudden realization. Wei Lin didn't know that he could absorb the essence of martial arts characters without any negative effects, and he made a big misjudgment of his own strength. Since the green-clothed man's strength has been greatly reduced due to his injury, Fang Xun estimated that with his current strength, he has a great chance of killing him.

As the two were talking, they arrived at the dock in just a few words.

There was a crowd of people not far away. Fishermen, hawkers, merchants and other passers-by on the dock had surrounded the entrance of Feiyutang and were pointing and talking about something.

Fang Xun's nose twitched and he smelled a bloody smell.

"You still did it."

At this moment, the crowd suddenly dispersed.

Fang Xun saw more than twenty members of the Feiyu Hall gang who looked as if they had lost their parents and were tied up, with several constables pushing them from time to time.

Soon, Wei Lin, Fang Xun and several detectives came to greet them.

"Master Wei, Brother Xun!"

Nodding, Fang Xun looked at one of the black-faced young men and asked calmly, "Xiao Ding, what's the situation inside?"

Xiao Ding immediately replied, "After listening to Yantou's explanation, Lord Wang issued a warrant for us and other officers in the yamen to do the work. Only the deputy leader of Feiyu Hall and a few of his confidants resisted stubbornly, but they have been executed."

Wei Lin at the side asked in surprise: "I remember that the deputy leader Yu Ye was at the eleventh level of the acquired realm. How long did it take for Yan Ming and his men to deal with him?"

"Master, have you forgotten that I taught them a set of Taoist combined attack formations?"

After Fang Xun said this, Wei Lin suddenly understood.

He was also familiar with the "Tian Gang Beidou Formation" that his apprentice got from somewhere. Seven people set up the formation according to the positions of the Big Dipper to defend against the enemy, and the weak can defeat the strong.

And those constables were also taught a Taoist internal skill by their own disciples, which seemed to be from the same school as the formation. It was not surprising that they could kill a person of the eleventh level of the acquired realm after forming the formation.

After casually saying something to a few constables, Fang Xun and Wei Lin walked into Feiyu Hall.

After entering, the courtyard was in a mess with several bodies lying on the ground, including the deputy gang leader Yu Ye.

He just glanced at Fang Xun and Wei Lin and continued to go deeper into the mansion.

Along the way, the constables and yamen runners who were searching houses and counting valuables greeted the two men one after another, and Fang Xun simply nodded in acknowledgement.

Soon, he and Wei Lin walked into Zhu Mingcheng's study. As soon as they came in, they saw Yan Ming looking for something on the bookshelf. There were several account books placed messily on the desk.

Yan Ming turned around immediately after hearing the noise. When he saw Fang Xun and Wei Lin arriving, a smile appeared on his honest face.

He patted a few account books on the table and said to Fang Xun: "Brother Xun, Lord Wei, the accounts of Feiyutang in recent years are all here."

After hearing this, Wei Lin walked directly to the table, picked up an account book and began to look through it.

Fang Xun also picked up a book and flipped through it while casually asking Yan Ming, "What are you looking for?"

Yan Ming said excitedly: "I just found a book of hidden weapon secrets and a book of Qinggong in the study. I thought there should be other secret books of martial arts, especially Zhu Mingcheng's internal strength. After all, he is also a congenital master."

Before Fang Xun could speak, Wei Lin beside him suddenly raised his head and asked in surprise: "Why, do you want to change your technique?"

Yan Ming scratched his head, a hint of embarrassment showing on his honest face.

"I know that the Quanxin Heart Method that Brother Xun taught me is the authentic Taoist method and a superior entry-level foundation method, but my progress is too slow. It took me a year to reach the seventh level of the acquired realm."
