The world of film and television starts from the flow of money

Hengshan, Liuzhuang Villa.

The morning sun shines through the thin clouds into the courtyard, and the air is filled with a faint fragrance of plants and trees. On the bluestone floor of the courtyard, a few fallen leaves roll gently in the wind, making a slight rustling sound. In the corner of the courtyard, an old locust tree with lush branches and leaves casts mottled shadows. A few sparrows jump on the branches, chirping, making it particularly lively.

Linghu Chong stood at the gate of the courtyard. Although his face was still a little pale, he was in much better spirits. His right shoulder and chest were wrapped in thick bandages, which faintly exuded a medicinal aroma. Although his sword wound was serious, he was treated with the Hengshan School's holy medicine Tianxiang Duanxu Glue for external application and Baiyun Xiongdan Pills for internal use. In addition, he was young and strong, and his internal strength was already quite good. After two days of recuperation, the wound had healed.

Linghu Chong took a deep breath, feeling the warmth of the sun on his face.

In the courtyard, Yue Lingshan and several fellow apprentices were sitting around a stone table, chatting animatedly.

Liang Fa supported his chin with one hand, frowned slightly, and said with a bit of impatience: "Didn't the Songshan Sect say that they would deal with Uncle Liu Zhengfeng after Zuo Lengchan arrived? It's been two days, how come there's no sign of him?"

Yue Lingshan curled her lips, a trace of disdain flashed in her eyes: "Zuo Lengchan? He is probably worried that he can't beat Second Senior Brother and lose face, so he doesn't dare to come!"

As he spoke, he tapped the stone table lightly with his fingers, making a crisp sound.

After hearing this, Lu Dayou's eyes immediately showed admiration, and he couldn't help but sigh: "I wish I had a second brother as powerful as him! Fei Bin and Ding Mian from the Songshan School couldn't even last three moves in his hands!"

Gao Genming laughed and patted Lu Dayou on the shoulder: "Then you have to work hard. Practice for another twenty years, maybe you can catch up with the second brother!"

Shi Daizi also laughed and said, "I think in a few years, you won't even be able to beat your junior brother!"

Yue Lingshan took over the conversation with a smile: "Don't even mention Junior Brother. If he doesn't practice diligently, I'm afraid he won't even be able to beat Junior Brother."

Lu Dayou was blushing after being talked about by several people. He scratched his head and muttered unconvincedly: "Impossible? Am I that bad?"

Lin Pingzhi and Lao Denuo, who were listening to the conversation, couldn't help laughing.

Lin Pingzhi smiled subtly, only slightly raising the corners of his mouth, with a gentle smile in his eyes. Although Lao Denuo had a smile on his face, a hint of gloom flashed in his eyes, and that coldness was fleeting, and no one noticed it.

When Linghu Chong heard this, he couldn't help but ask curiously, "What little nephew?"

Although his voice was not loud, several people in the yard immediately noticed him.

Yue Lingshan was the first to turn around, with a hint of surprise in her eyes: "Big Brother is awake?"

"Big Brother!"

"Big Brother, are you feeling better?"

Liang Fa, Shi Daizi, Gao Genming and others stood up and walked quickly to Linghu Chong, their faces full of concern.

Yue Lingshan even ran directly to Linghu Chong, held his arm with her hand, and said with a reproachful tone: "Big Brother, your injury is not healed yet, why don't you rest for a while?"

Linghu Chong smiled and gently patted the back of Yue Lingshan's hand: "It's okay. You've been lying down for two days, and your bones are almost rusty. It's better to walk around."

Lu Dayou quickly brought a bamboo chair and placed it under the locust tree in the courtyard: "Big Brother, please sit here. There is shade here and you won't be exposed to the sun."

Linghu Chong nodded and slowly sat down. Although his movements were a little slow, his expression seemed very relaxed. The sunlight shone through the gaps in the leaves onto his face, casting a mottled shadow.

Yue Lingshan stood beside him, with her hands behind her back, leaning forward slightly, with a mischievous smile in her eyes: "Big Brother, you were asking about the little nephew just now, right? That's the new disciple of Second Brother."

"apprentice?"

Linghu Chong raised his eyebrows, somewhat surprised: "When did Second Junior Brother accept a disciple? How come I didn't know anything about it?"

Liang Fa smiled and explained, "Big Brother, you have been recovering from your injuries these past two days, so it's normal that you didn't know. This little nephew was brought back by Second Brother two days ago. He said she was an orphan he met on the road, and he took pity on her so he accepted her as his apprentice."

Shi Daizi took over the conversation, with a hint of teasing in his tone: "But this little niece is incredible. Although she is young, she is extremely talented. The swordsmanship that Second Senior Brother taught her, she learned very quickly. Even we are a little ashamed of ourselves!"

Gao Genming also laughed and said, "Yes, Senior Brother, you didn't see it. When she was practicing sword, she looked exactly like Second Brother when he was a child!"

Linghu Chong became more curious as he listened, and couldn't help asking, "Where is he now? Why can't I see him?"

Yue Lingshan pointed in the direction of the backyard: "She should be practicing sword in the backyard now. Second Senior Brother is very strict with her. She has to get up before dawn to practice and is not allowed to rest until the sun sets."

Linghu Chong nodded, and he became more interested in this little nephew. Just as he was about to ask something else, he saw Lao Denuo approaching with a gentle smile on his face: "Big Brother, your injury is not healed yet, don't worry too much. It's not too late to slowly understand the little nephew's affairs when you are well again."

Linghu Chong glanced at Lao Denuo and nodded: "Third Junior Brother is right, I was too impatient."

Lao Denuo smiled, a complicated look flashed in his eyes, but he soon regained his composure. He turned and walked to the stone table, picked up the teapot, poured a cup of tea, and handed it to Linghu Chong: "Big Brother, have some tea, it's freshly brewed."

Linghu Chong took the teacup and took a sip. The tea was refreshing and sweet, which made him feel refreshed. He put down the teacup, looked up at everyone, and said with a smile: "What were you talking about just now? Why didn't you talk when I came?"

Yue Lingshan blinked and said with a smile, "We are talking about the Songshan Sect. Zuo Lengchan hasn't come yet, and I don't know what he is planning."

Liang Fa snorted coldly, with a bit of disdain in his tone: "What can he come up with? He is just afraid of Second Senior Brother and dare not act rashly."

Shi Daizi nodded and agreed, "Yes, Second Senior Brother's Purple Cloud Divine Art and Dugu Nine Swords have already reached great perfection. Even Fei Bin and Ding Mian are no match for him. Even if Zuo Lengchan comes, he may not be able to gain an advantage."

Gao Genming smiled and said, "But having said that, Second Senior Brother was really impressive this time. Those people from Songshan Sect are usually very arrogant, but this time they really suffered a big setback."

After hearing this, Lu Dayou couldn't help but sigh: "Second Brother is so amazing! I wish I could have half of his ability!"

Yue Lingshan patted Lu Dayou on the shoulder with a smile: "Then you have to work harder, don't just talk and don't practice."

Lu Dayou scratched his head and smiled a little embarrassedly: "I will try my best!"

Everyone was chatting happily when they suddenly heard a clear sound of swords coming from the backyard. The sound was as pleasant as a silver bell, but it also carried a bit of fierce momentum. Linghu Chong couldn't help but stand up and look towards the backyard: "This is..."

Yue Lingshan smiled and said, "Big Brother, this is my junior nephew practicing sword skills. Do you want to go and have a look?"

Linghu Chong nodded, a hint of anticipation flashing in his eyes: "Okay, I also want to stretch my muscles."

Lu Dayou quickly supported him: "Big Brother, I'll help you over."

Linghu Chong waved his hand and said with a smile: "No, I can walk by myself." After that, he walked towards the backyard. Yue Lingshan and several fellow apprentices followed him, and the group walked through the corridor and came to the backyard.

In the open space in the backyard, a girl in green clothes was holding a long sword. Her figure was as graceful as a swallow and the sword light was as bright as a rainbow.

Yi Feiyan spread her feet shoulder-width apart, bent her knees slightly, lowered her body, and remained steady as a rock. She held the hilt of the sword tightly with her right hand, bent her arm slightly, pointed the tip of the sword at the ground, and stared intently at the target ahead.

With a light shout, Yi Feiyan moved. Her figure was like a black lightning, rushing forward quickly. The long sword in her hand drew sharp arcs as she swung it. Her sword moves were concise and powerful, and each sword carried a strong momentum. Her footsteps were light and flexible, moving quickly on the ground, leaving a series of blurred footprints.

The swordplay is sometimes like a violent storm, fast and fierce, dazzling; sometimes like a gurgling stream, gentle and smooth, yet harbouring murderous intent. Every movement is full of power and beauty, as if performing a wonderful dance, with steady and even breathing, rising and falling slightly with the changes in sword moves, as if integrated with the sword in hand.

"girl?"

Linghu Chong was a little surprised, but he didn't say anything. He stood aside and watched her practice sword quietly, with a flash of admiration in his eyes. From her swordsmanship, he could see that she was extremely talented, even as good as himself back then.

Yue Lingshan walked up to Linghu Chong and said softly, "Big Brother, she is the new disciple that Second Brother accepted."

"Does master know?"

Linghu Chong nodded, his eyes still on Yi Feiyan. Yi Feiyan's face was plain, even a little ugly, but she had a pair of bright big eyes that made people feel good about her.

Yue Lingshan nodded: "Of course I know, my father said that when I return to Huashan in a few days, I will be officially admitted with Junior Brother Lin."

After practicing a set of sword techniques, Yi Feiyan put away her sword and stood, panting slightly. Her forehead was covered with fine beads of sweat, which slid down her cheeks and dripped onto the ground. Her breathing was rapid, but she could not hide the excitement and satisfaction in her eyes. She raised her head and met Linghu Chong's gaze. She could not help but be stunned for a moment. Then she quickly walked in front of Linghu Chong and bowed respectfully: "Feiyan greets Master Uncle and all the uncles!"

Linghu Chong smiled and held out his hand to help her up: "No need to be so polite. What's your name?"

Yi Feiyan raised her head and replied, "My name is Yi Feiyan."

Linghu Chong nodded and said gently: "Your swordsmanship is very good. It seems that Second Senior Brother taught you very well."

Yi Feiyan smiled slightly, but soon regained her composure:
"Thank you for the compliment, Master. I'm still a long way from that."

Yue Lingshan patted Yi Feiyan on the shoulder with a smile: "Little nephew, don't be modest. Your swordsmanship is much better than ours."

Yi Feiyan shook her head, her tone serious: "Master, you are too kind. I still need to learn more from you."

Linghu Chong looked at Yi Feiyan and couldn't help but feel an inexplicable sense of familiarity, even a sense of intimacy. Just as he was about to say something else, he heard footsteps behind him.

Linghu Chong subconsciously turned around and saw Yi Huawei walking steadily towards him from the other end of the corridor.

"Are they all here?"

Yi Huawei was wearing a green robe with a plain belt around his waist. He walked at a leisurely pace, with his hair neatly tied up, a few strands of hair hanging down on his temples. His face was calm, his eyes were bright and lively, and he swept his gaze over the people in the courtyard, finally landing on Linghu Chong and Yi Feiyan.

"Big Brother, how do you feel? Are you feeling better?"

Yi Huawei walked closer and looked at Linghu Chong.

Linghu Chong collected his thoughts and replied with a smile, "Much better. I've been lying down for the past few days and my body is almost stiff. I feel much better after walking around."

Then, he looked at Yi Feiyan again:

"Second Junior Brother, your disciple looks very smart and has quite good swordsmanship."

Yi Huawei followed Linghu Chong's gaze and looked at Yi Feiyan, his eyes full of praise: "Feiyan is indeed a promising talent. She studies swordsmanship diligently and has a quick understanding."

Yi Feiyan bowed to Yi Huawei and said, "Master, Master Uncle, Feiyan will definitely work harder."

Nodding, Yi Huawei looked at Linghu Chong again: "Big Brother, your injury is not healed yet, don't overwork yourself. If you have anything to say, wait until you are better."

Linghu Chong smiled and patted Yi Huawei on the shoulder: "Second Junior Brother, don't worry, I know what to do."

"Second senior brother!"

Yue Lingshan cheered, ran over and pulled Yi Huawei's sleeve: "What did my father just say to you?"

"Master asked us to pack our bags and prepare to go back!"

Yi Huawei smiled and said, "It seems Zuo Lengchan can't come because of something else. Master is going to take us to bring back Junior Brother's parents."

"really?"

Lin Pingzhi suddenly opened his eyes wide in surprise.

"Of course it's true. Yu Canghai sneaked away last night. Master is worried that they will harm Junior Brother Lin's parents, so we have to hurry up and catch up with them."

After a pause, Yi Huawei said, "However, Senior Brother is seriously injured and still needs someone to take care of him. So, Junior Brother Lu, you stay and take care of Senior Brother, and the rest of us can go!"

"Yes!"

Lu Dayou responded: "No problem, leave it to me, Senior Brother, you guys pay attention to safety!"

Yi Huawei smiled, then turned around and said to everyone, "Okay, everyone go home, pack your luggage, and don't disturb Senior Brother to rest."

Everyone nodded when they heard this, and then they dispersed. Before Yue Lingshan left, she said to Linghu Chong, "Big Brother, you should take good care of your injuries. We are enough to take care of Junior Brother Lin's parents, right, Second Brother?"

Linghu Chong smiled and nodded, watching everyone leave. When only Lu Dayou and Yi Huawei were left in the courtyard, he slowly spoke: "Second Junior Brother, this little nephew... is not simple."

Yi Huawei smiled slightly, with a hint of deep meaning in his eyes: "Big Brother is indeed very discerning. Feiyan is indeed gifted, and given time, she will surely become a great talent."

Linghu Chong nodded, without saying anything more, and walked back to the room with the help of Lu Dayou. (End of this chapter)
