After my inner voice was eavesdropped, I became the favorite of the Tang Dynasty

Chapter 30

The movements were as smooth as flowing water, without any drag, and every detail was just right, like an exquisite painting, which looked really chic. The sunlight shone through the sparse clouds and sprinkled on the martial arts training ground, adding a bit of drama to this sudden change.

However, everyone at the scene had an awkward smile on their face, and the atmosphere was a little subtle, as if there was an indescribable awkwardness in the air. Their eyes were filled with surprise and confusion, as if they couldn't believe what was happening before their eyes.

Zhang Tiesheng was kneeling just now, his knees making a "dong dong" sound, but now he stood up so handsomely, as if everything just now was just an illusion. But he knew in his heart that the image of kneeling on the ground could not be erased, like an ugly scar, forever branded in his heart. He raised his hand and patted his forehead, smiling bitterly, guessing that his knees were still aching, and the feeling of humiliation and embarrassment made it difficult for him to let go.

Zhang Tiehu felt so bad when he saw his son like this, he felt so ashamed. He thought, he was already kneeling, and he stood up in such a cool way, wouldn't it make people remember him kneeling? There was a trace of helplessness and anger in his eyes, as if he was very angry at his son's behavior.

At this moment, Li Qingge walked in with her hands behind her back and a smile on her face. Her steps were light and graceful, as if every step was in time with the music. She looked around at the people around her, and then said, "I am your master, or your grandmaster. You can just call me grandpa." As soon as she said this, Zhang Tiehu almost burst out laughing, thinking, isn't this little girl too funny? But he felt something was wrong, so he rubbed his eyes to see if he was dreaming. He pulled the bald man next to him over to confirm the reality, but when he waved his hand, the bald man was slapped in the face and screamed in pain. Zhang Tiehu then realized that this was not a dream, and everything in front of him was real.

He looked at this girl who hadn't even reached the age of marriage, who actually asked him to kneel down and called herself her master. He was so angry that he almost burned. He suppressed his anger and asked, "Who are you? Who is your master? What is your family background?" After so many years in the martial arts world, he knew that he had to be careful of those with backgrounds to avoid getting into trouble.

Li Qingge seemed not to hear his question, and just repeated: "I have already said that I am your master, why are you still asking?" She frowned and shook her head, her eyes revealing a hint of helplessness and dissatisfaction, as if she was very disappointed with the understanding ability of this group of people. Her hair fluttered gently in the wind, like a fairy, making people around her look sideways. Her face was cold and arrogant, as if nothing in the world was surprising. Her posture was upright and elegant, and every movement revealed a unique temperament.

Zhang Tiehu got even angrier when he saw her attitude, but he still kept his head and tried to get answers from his disciples. When the disciples saw that their master had spoken, they all came up to persuade him, saying that this man was really their master, and that his Dragon Teng swordsmanship was even more powerful than their master's. There was a kind of awe and admiration in their words, as if they had no doubt about Li Qingge's strength.

Zhang Tiehu was shocked when he heard this. There was actually someone who was better than him in Longteng swordsmanship? And it was complete? Could it be that their Zhang family was just a branch of Longteng? This thought made him pale, as if he was struck by lightning. He couldn't accept this fact, as if the whole world had collapsed. His eyes were full of confusion and bewilderment, as if he couldn't believe this cruel reality.

Seeing this, Li Qingge became more resolute in her stance. She put on an elder's posture, trying to establish her authority. She said loudly, "Now you know who I am, right? Why don't you kneel down?" Her voice was clear and pleasant, with an irresistible majesty and power. Her eyes were shining with anticipation and excitement, as if she couldn't wait to see them kneel down.

However, how could Zhang Tiehu give in so easily? He laughed and said, "Do you think I will believe your lies? Your name is not on the genealogy of Longteng Sword Technique at all. You are not a side branch at all!" His voice was full of disdain and ridicule, as if he sneered at Li Qingge's words. His eyes flashed with determination, as if he was ready to fight Li Qingge to the end.

Li Qingge said leisurely: "I am not a side branch, I am the main branch of Longteng, and you are the side branches." Zhang Tiehu almost fainted when he said this. He thought, this girl is too arrogant! How dare she claim so shamelessly that she is the main branch of Longteng! There was a flash of anger in his eyes, as if he was choked by Li Qingge's words. He took a deep breath, trying to calm his emotions, and wanted to find words to refute Li Qingge. However, he found that he could not refute Li Qingge's words at all. Because in his opinion, Li Qingge's strength is indeed much stronger than his. And the Longteng swordsmanship she showed is indeed more complete and exquisite than his. This made him have to start doubting his identity and status. Is their Zhang family really just a side branch of Longteng? This idea made him feel extremely shocked and confused.

He couldn't accept this fact, as if the whole world had collapsed. When the disciples heard what Li Qingge said, they all nodded in agreement, thinking that the master was right. They looked at Zhang Tiehu with doubt and scrutiny in their eyes, as if they had begun to doubt his identity and status. This made Zhang Tiehu feel extremely embarrassed and embarrassed. He felt like a clown, making a fool of himself in front of everyone. He wanted to refute Li Qingge's words, but found that he couldn't speak at all. Because in his opinion, Li Qingge's strength and momentum had completely suppressed him. He could only stand there helplessly, letting everyone's doubtful and scrutinizing eyes fall on him. Li Qingge looked leisurely and contented, as if she had seen the future victory waving to her. A sly smile appeared at the corner of her mouth, and her eyes flashed with anticipation and excitement. She knew that the contest had just begun, and she had already gained the upper hand. Let's look forward to what happens next!
In the vast mountains, the clouds and mists are lingering, like a fairyland. The mountain breeze is blowing gently, with a bit of chill, but also fresh and pleasant. At the foot of the mountain, the people of the Black Tiger Gang gathered here, and the atmosphere was tense and solemn. Everyone looked around and saw the undulating mountains, the green trees, and the occasional bird calls, adding a bit of tranquility.

"How is this possible! Longteng swordsmanship has always been passed down from one generation to another, so how could there be any side branch? We are the authentic direct descendants and will never make a mistake!" There was a bit of astonishment and disbelief in Zhang Tiehu's voice. His eyes were fixed on the girl in front of him, as if he wanted to find some flaws in her face.

"You are talking nonsense!" Zhang Tiehu was so angry that his eyes were bulging and his teeth were clattering. He didn't care whether the other party was a descendant of aristocracy. Even if he was a noble, so what? He was talking nonsense and trying to confuse my disciples. If I really accept him as my master, wouldn't I be inferior to him? How can I gain a foothold in the martial arts world in the future? He thought to himself, this kid is clearly here to cheat, let me see how I can expose your true face!
Look at this kid again, he looks so frivolous. If I tell him to leave with just one sentence, how will it end? Zhang Tiehu was so angry. He was the authentic successor, and this kid was clearly here to provoke him. He clenched his fists, and his anger was about to erupt like a volcano.

The Black Tiger Gang masters nearby frowned and showed surprised expressions after hearing Zhang Tiehu's words. They thought: How can the master be so disrespectful to his elders? Isn't this asking for trouble? Doesn't he see the strength of this girl?

Li Qingge stood in front of everyone, her figure was straight and upright, like a green pine tree. Her face was cold and firm, and her brows revealed an inviolable majesty. Her eyes were like torches, staring at Zhang Tiehu closely, as if she wanted to see through his heart.

"The family rules of Longteng Swordsmanship are very strict. I am the elder, yet you are so rude? Do I need to remind you which family rule you have violated?" Li Qingge's voice was cold and majestic, like a breeze in the ice, penetrating everyone's eardrums and reaching their hearts.

She squinted at Zhang Tiehu, and her imposing manner made Zhang Tiehu's heart beat fast. What family rules? Although Li Qingge was unsure, she was confident that she could use words to make Zhang Tiehu reveal his flaws. The corners of her mouth curled up into a contemptuous smile, and that smile contained an indescribable charm that seemed to be able to attract people's hearts.

"Humph, you're right! In the Longteng lineage, offending an elder is punishable by whipping. But are you really my elder?" Zhang Tiehu sneered, his eyes flashing coldly. This kid is still wet behind the ears, and he dares to call himself an elder, how arrogant! He thought, even if this kid really knows Longteng swordsmanship, he may not be the authentic inheritor. Maybe he learned it from somewhere!
"In that case, kneel down and accept the punishment!" Li Qingge raised her eyebrows and looked at Zhang Tiehu with even more contempt. She felt that she was suspicious, and he was stupid to bring up the family rules. She sneered in her heart, wait and see how I defeat you with words!
"What makes you say you are my elder? Show me the evidence!" Zhang Tiehu asked with a sneer. His eyes revealed a sense of disdain and provocation, as if to say: You are a liar, and you still want to pretend to be my elder? How ridiculous!

Evidence? What evidence do you need? This guy is obviously a liar, why does he need any evidence? Zhang Tiehu thought. He clenched his fists and became even more angry. He wanted to step forward and expose this liar immediately, leaving him nowhere to hide!
At this time, Zhang Tiesheng hesitated for a moment, but still spoke: "Dad, he knows Longteng swordsmanship, and he is better than me." He didn't want to admit this "master" who suddenly appeared, but the other party's swordsmanship was really powerful, so he had to believe it. There was a bit of helplessness and confusion in his voice, as if to say: Dad, how can you not believe it? This is really our master!
"Stronger than me? That's ridiculous! I'm the strongest in Longteng. Who can be better than me?" Zhang Tiehu was so surprised that his eyes almost popped out of his head. He was full of doubts. His heart was full of puzzlement and confusion, as if saying: How is this possible? I'm obviously the strongest in Longteng!
Even if this guy is the successor, he should be my descendant, how could he be better than me? Moreover, the ancestral teachings say that Longteng swordsmanship is already perfect and has no omissions. Now that he says he knows the complete swordsmanship, doesn't that imply that my swordsmanship is incomplete? Zhang Tiehu's heart was full of doubts and unwillingness, he wanted to step forward and expose this liar immediately!
He was furious, his face was red, his neck was thick, his hands were clenched into fists, and his anger was like a volcano about to erupt. His eyes revealed a fierce and determined look, as if he wanted to tear this liar into pieces!
"Master, calm down. He is really our master." A Black Tiger Gang expert tried to dissuade him. His voice was filled with awe and pleading, as if to say: Master, please don't offend our master! Otherwise, we will be punished!
"Master's swordsmanship is indeed complete and powerful. He must be our master." Another master also spoke up. His voice was trembling and awe-inspiring, as if to say: Master, please don't make mistakes again! Otherwise, we will be punished with you!

"Don't offend Master!" Other masters also spoke up to dissuade him. Their voices were filled with anxiety and pleading, as if they were saying: Master, please don't be stubborn anymore! Otherwise, we will suffer with you!

The disciples of Longteng Sect stepped forward to dissuade him. They didn't want their master to be whipped for offending their elders. That was no joke. Their hearts were filled with worry and fear, as if they were saying: Master! Please admit your mistake quickly! Otherwise, we will all be punished with you!
"Look at my disciples, they all know how to respect their elders, but you are the only one who is disrespectful. I'll give you one last chance, kneel down and apologize immediately." Li Qingge frowned, with the posture of an elder teaching a younger generation. Her voice was full of majesty and irresistible power, as if to say: Admit your mistake quickly! Otherwise, I will punish you!

"Otherwise, the family rules will be ruthless!" Li Qingge's voice became even more severe. Her eyes revealed a cold and resolute look, as if to say: If you still insist on not changing your ways, don't blame me for being rude!

"How can an elder give himself the title? Show me the evidence!" Zhang Tiehu still refused to admit defeat. His eyes revealed a firmness and stubbornness, as if to say: You are a liar! You still want to pretend to be my elder? How ridiculous! Do you think I will believe you so easily? Show me the evidence!
"Okay! Today I will let you see the power of Longteng swordsmanship!" Zhang Tiehu's eyes flashed with cold light, and the short knife in his sleeve was instantly unsheathed, shining brightly, scaring everyone back away. Everyone knew the power of this knife. His movements were vigorous and powerful, like a tiger. His heart was filled with anger and unwillingness, as if saying: You liar! Let me show you how to expose your true face!
"You are disrespectful to my elders and you want to fight them. You are not worthy of being my descendant!" Li Qingge's voice was harsh and cold. Her eyes revealed an inviolable majesty and power, as if to say: You unfilial descendant! How dare you fight your elders? This is really outrageous! You can wait to be punished!
Zhang Tiehu was stunned, his anger rising to his head. Who is your descendant? Even if you are the real master, I am not your disciple, how can you say I am pretending? His belief in his heart became stronger, and he was sure that Li Qingge was a liar. He clenched his fists, and his anger became stronger. He wanted to defeat this liar immediately and make him have nowhere to hide!
"Okay, in that case, then come on." Li Qingge nodded gently, a cunning smile on her lips, her bright eyes flashing with confidence and expectation. The sunlight shone through the sparse clouds and sprinkled on her body, adding a bit of heroic spirit to her.

This moment was exactly what she had been waiting for. No matter how many words she said, it would not be as straightforward as speaking with strength. She was full of confidence. As long as she showed her strength, the other party would be convinced. The bet had been made. Even if the other party refused to recognize her as an elder now, he would have to kneel down and apologize in the end. By then, she would be the true master of the Black Tiger Gang, and it would be as easy as pie!
Zhang Tiesheng and the others could only shake their heads and smile bitterly as they watched this scene. Regardless of whether Li Qingge was their master or not, her attainments in the Dragon Soaring Sword Skill alone were beyond the reach of their master. The result seemed self-evident.

"Stop talking nonsense and get started! Where's your dagger?" Zhang Tiehu strode forward, his eyes sharp as an eagle, staring at Li Qingge's hands, trying to find the trace of the dagger. However, Li Qingge's hands were empty, and the dagger was not on them.

Zhang Tiehu couldn't help but smile contemptuously, thinking: How dare you call yourself the descendant of Longteng without a sword? Longteng swordsmanship can only be brought into full play with a specially made short sword, how can ordinary iron be compared? This kid doesn't have a sword, how can he call himself an elder? Is he cheating?
Facing Zhang Tiehu's doubt, Li Qingge just smiled leisurely and said, "I have reached the state of having no sword in my hand but a sword in my heart. In simple terms, I don't need a sword, but all the swords in the world can become my weapons. Isn't your sword also my sword?"

Zhang Tiesheng and the others were stunned when they heard this, as if they had opened the door to a new world, with excitement and shock in their hearts. Without a sword in hand, other people's swords are your own swords? This kind of cultivation is simply too domineering! Without deep strength, how can you say such a thing? They began to worry about Zhang Tiehu.

"You are misleading people with your lies! I want to see how you can use my sword against me!" Zhang Tiehu's face was gloomy, and his eyes flashed with coldness. He swung his sword suddenly, and the Longteng sword technique was instantly unfolded, with shining sword light and imposing aura. Even the Longteng disciples in the distance felt the biting coldness and were terrified. The master was serious!
"Thank you for the knife." Li Qingge's mouth curled up slightly, and a sense of dominance emerged spontaneously. Her eyes revealed an indescribable confidence and calmness, as if everything was under her control.

As soon as she finished speaking, her Nether Eye suddenly opened. A mysterious power surged in her body, as if it could see through the essence of everything in the world. "Ding! System prompt: The host has activated the Nether Eye again. Please select a martial art..." The martial arts list appeared in her mind, and Li Qingge chose the Dragon Sword Technique without hesitation.

Instantly, the essence of Longteng's swordsmanship shone brightly in her heart, her internal force surged, and her eight extraordinary meridians were unobstructed. She seemed to have instantly transformed into a master among Longteng masters, and the strongest one. The sharp sword light enveloped her whole body, which shocked and frightened people at first. But soon people found that although those sword lights seemed fierce, they were actually full of loopholes.

Li Qingge sneered and reached into the sword light, as if she was moving through a huge net. Her movements were smooth and graceful, and every detail was just right, as if her body and the sword light had merged into one.

"Ah!" Bald Man and the others cried out in shock, their faces pale. Zhang Tiehu's knife light was impenetrable, and anyone who touched it would be injured. Wasn't Li Qingge walking into a trap by doing this? They seemed to have seen the horrific scene of blood and flesh flying everywhere.

However, at this moment, the expected tragedy did not happen. The knife light suddenly spread out, revealing the truth inside. Everyone looked closely and couldn't help but gasp. Zhang Tiehu's knife had disappeared! Now it was firmly held in Li Qingge's hand.

"You can see the flaws in Longteng's swordsmanship and take my sword away accurately?" Zhang Tiehu was stunned for a long time before he said this. His face was as pale as paper and cold sweat was pouring down. His mind was in a mess: Am I wrong? Is she the heir of Longteng's main line? And we are just a side branch? Otherwise, how could she have such a delicate technique? How could she see through the flaws in Longteng's swordsmanship at a glance and remove my weapon with one move? Only people who have been immersed in Longteng's swordsmanship for a long time can do this, right? This kid is indeed a master of Longteng!

Facing Zhang Tiehu's astonishment and questioning, Li Qingge just sighed and said, "Do you believe it now? If you still have doubts, I will demonstrate to you the true meaning of Longteng Sword Technique again." She looked at Zhang Tiehu as if she was looking at a junior who had made a mistake, her eyes full of kindness and patience.

"The move you just used only has two variations, but there are actually more than 30 variations." She continued, "At first you thought I was a top master, so the subsequent moves were all killer moves. But now I will show you this move in its entirety, and you will definitely gain something."

Zhang Tiehu's face turned even paler when he heard this, and his horror was beyond words. He looked at the knife in Li Qingge's hand, as if he saw the endless mysteries and profound connotations of Longteng's swordsmanship. At this moment, he finally realized how ridiculous and ignorant his previous arrogance and prejudice were. The girl in front of him was the true descendant of Longteng, the master they should admire and learn from.

[This kid predicted exactly!] Tiehu was amazed in his heart. Li Qingge, a seemingly weak woman, had rehearsed the following moves in her mind thousands of times at the moment of action. The number was almost exactly the same as what he said, as if every move and every style had been rehearsed in her mind countless times, with extreme accuracy.

What shocked Tiehu even more was the confidence revealed in Li Qingge's eyes, a kind of confidence that seemed to say "If I come in person, this move will be more sharp and sharp." Her calmness and confidence made Tiehu admire her, but also made him more puzzled. How did such a woman practice Longteng swordsmanship to such a level?

Tiehu's mind was in a mess, and it was hard to tell the truth from the false. Suddenly, he saw the flash of swords in the hall, surging like a tide. The short sword was wielded by Li Qingge with great vigor, as if thousands of troops were galloping, with great momentum. The flash of the sword was like a flower blooming, beautiful but sharper and more dangerous. Her moves were as smooth as flowing water, done in one go, without any pause, and so coherent that it was amazing. In just a blink of an eye, she perfectly integrated all the moves together, showing the true power of Longteng Sword Skills.

"This is indeed the Dragon Soaring Sword Technique!" After Li Qingge finished the demonstration, Tiehu's face suddenly changed, and he said this with trembling lips. He witnessed the opponent's moves with his own eyes, and he knew in his heart that his attainments in the Dragon Soaring Sword Technique were far behind the opponent's. The opponent's power was at least ten times his own, which made him feel shocked and admired.

"Oh my! If he is not an elder of the Longteng lineage, then where is justice? How could an outsider practice this sword technique so perfectly?" Tiehu muttered to himself, but he had to admit that Li Qingge's strength was indeed extraordinary.

After a while, Tiehu knelt on the ground with a thud, and said in a respectful manner: "I am convinced. You are undoubtedly a senior. Please forgive me for my ignorance and offense." After saying this, cold sweat broke out on his forehead, and his heart was filled with both awe and gratitude.

Li Qingge smiled slightly, her eyes full of encouragement: "You haven't done anything wrong, and it is understandable that you don't know the identity of your senior. If you trust others easily, you will disappoint me." Her voice was soft and firm, which made Tiehu feel warm.

Tiehu was very grateful and asked quickly: "Thank you, senior. But I want to know the reason why our two branches split. Can you tell me? I am not doubting your identity, I am just curious." Although he still had doubts in his heart, the opponent's powerful swordsmanship forced him to surrender. If they fell out, I am afraid no one would be able to leave the Black Tiger Gang alive. Therefore, surrendering temporarily is the best policy.

Li Qingge secretly laughed in her heart: [Haha, this kid is not stupid, he still wants to find out the truth.] However, she remained calm and smiled slightly, and her deception skills improved a little bit.

"Back then, Long Teng's swordsmanship was rampant in the martial arts world, and no one could defeat him. It was very famous. As long as Long Teng was mentioned, everyone respected and was afraid of him." After saying this, Li Qingge sighed, looked up at the sky, and a trace of sadness appeared on her face. Her voice was low and infectious, which moved everyone present.

[This routine works everywhere. The descendants of the swordsmanship will naturally be proud of it when they hear about the glorious history.] Li Qingge was secretly proud of herself, but she also knew that this was the only way. Only by making these people feel awe of her could she better control the situation.

The eyes of the descendants of Longteng lit up after hearing this, and they nodded in agreement, feeling a sense of pride. They looked at Li Qingge with respect and admiration, as if they saw the glorious future of Longteng swordsmanship.

"We know that Long Teng is extraordinary. What the senior said is indeed true."

"That's right! Senior, since he can tell the history of Longteng, he must be a true successor."

"You dare to disrespect me? If you do, I will punish you severely!"

……

Everyone looked at Li Qingge with pride, like a group of children waiting to hear a story, with anticipation gleaming in their eyes.

[You were fooled so easily by me? It seems that I am quite good at telling stories. In that case, let me make up a piece of Long Teng's history.] Li Qingge pondered in his heart, with a playful smile on his face.

[I have to talk about something that happened a long time ago, so that they won’t find out.] As soon as the thought came to him, Li Qingge raised the corner of his mouth and the story was ready.

"A thousand years ago..." She spoke slowly, her voice low and mysterious.

"Hiss!" Upon hearing this opening, everyone's eyes widened, their faces full of surprise. Longteng actually has a thousand-year heritage? This is beyond their imagination. Tiehu was also stunned for a moment, frowning. The history of Longteng that he knew was only three hundred years old. The thousand-year heritage that this kid mentioned... If it really has been passed down for a thousand years, Longteng's swordsmanship should be invincible, but why is it only a third-rate swordsmanship now?

Tiehu was full of doubts, but he also understood that what Li Qingge said was not entirely credible. However, no matter what, he had to admit that Li Qingge's strength was indeed extraordinary, at least in the Longteng swordsmanship she displayed, she did have extraordinary attainments.

[I'm afraid this kid isn't completely reliable either.] Tiehu muttered to himself, but he also understood that now was not the time to pursue these things. What he needed to do was to follow Li Qingge, learn the Dragon Sword Technique, improve his own strength, and lay a solid foundation for the future of the Black Tiger Gang.

Li Qingge continued her deception journey, making up a fantastic story about the history of Longteng Sword Skill, which moved everyone present. She knew that only in this way could she better control the situation and let Longteng Sword Skill shine with new light in her hands.

Many years ago, the Dragon Sword Technique had not yet appeared in the martial arts world, but there were people who were wholeheartedly chasing the trail of the dragon. It was a stormy night, the moonlight was like silver, sprinkled on the winding mountain road, a cloaked traveler, his feet on the mud, his eyes flashing with an eternal light, as if he could penetrate the heavy fog and look directly at the legendary mysterious creature.

"I heard that if you collect seven mysterious beads, you can summon a dragon, and everyone is scrambling to find them." Under the old locust tree at the head of the village, a group of curious children sat around, their eyes full of desire for the unknown world. There was such a family, who spent many years, tirelessly, over mountains and ridges, through deserts, and climbing snow-capped mountains, and finally found all the seven beads emitting strange light. Each of these seven beads contains different powers, some are as light as the wind, some are as hot as fire, some are as flexible as water, some are as heavy as soil, some are as fast as thunder, some are as cold as ice, and some are as warm as light.

Qingge, a woman in a light blue dress with a heroic look in her eyes, softly recounted this past event. Her words were like a spring breeze, causing ripples in everyone's hearts. The Dragon Soaring Sword Technique had not yet been born, and this matter of chasing the dragon must be related to the birth of the Dragon Soaring Sword Technique. Everyone thought so, and their hearts were full of expectations.

What happened to this family later? Could the emergence of Longteng Sword Skills have anything to do with them? Everyone was eager to find out, their eyes widened, like a group of deer eager to explore the depths of the jungle.

"On the day when the beads were gathered, the family went into the mountains together. Outsiders had no idea about summoning the dragon." Qingge's voice was low and mysterious, as if she had witnessed the scene herself. "It was a misty mountain. On the top of the mountain, there was a stone platform surrounded by ancient runes. When the seven beads were placed on the stone platform, the sky suddenly cracked open, and a dazzling light shot out, illuminating the entire valley. The dragon, the legendary creature, slowly descended with a thunderous roar. Its scales sparkled with colorful light, and each scale contained endless power. Since then, everyone in this family has mastered unique skills and is extremely powerful."

"But later, for some unknown reason, this family split into several factions in the martial arts world. Some played with swords, some played with knives, and all became famous masters. Anyone in the martial arts world would tremble when hearing their names." Qingge's words were filled with a trace of regret, as if he could feel the pain of the family split. "Perhaps because of the struggle for power, or perhaps because of the difference in ideas, this once united family eventually split. But even so, their respective martial arts attainments also shocked the martial arts world."

"When people in the martial arts world mention this family, they get scared, and no one dares to confront them head-on." Qingge's eyes flashed with a trace of awe, as if those legendary figures of the past were traveling through time and space and standing in front of her. "They are highly skilled in martial arts, and their style of doing things is extremely unique. Every time they take action, they can shock the martial arts world. They are like a group of gods walking in the world, and no one can compare to them."

Qingge looked up at the sky, her brows slightly furrowed, as if she was really communicating with a master from thousands of years ago, her thoughts drifting far away. Her eyes contained both recollections of the past and explorations of the unknown. Seeing her mysterious look, everyone was in awe, as if under her leadership, they were gradually uncovering the mystery of history.

"But, a big tree attracts the wind. This family is too powerful. The masters in the martial arts world are afraid that they will dominate the world and no one can suppress them, so they united to besiege them. After seven days and seven nights of fighting, the valley was stained with blood. Countless heroes fell in the swordplay. In the end, this family suddenly disappeared without a trace." Qingge's words were heavy, as if he could feel the cruelty of the war. "That battle has become an eternal legend in the martial arts world, and it is also the pain in the hearts of countless people."

"But, they left behind an orphan girl and fled into the mountains." Qingge's words revealed a hint of tenderness, as if the figure of the orphan girl was slowly emerging in front of her eyes. "What you don't know is that those masters have actually compiled the martial arts they learned from Shenlong into a set of swordsmanship. That set of swordsmanship embodies their lifelong efforts and wisdom, and is the only legacy they left to future generations."

Qingge's voice was deep and powerful, and it had passed through thousands of years, making everyone's heart tremble. They seemed to be able to feel the weight of history and the difficulty of inheritance.

"Could this be the Longteng sword technique?" Tie Sheng asked in surprise, his heart burning with excitement. He was a burly man with dark skin, his eyes sparkling with love and pursuit of martial arts.

The Dragon Sword Technique used to be insignificant in the martial arts world, but now that people know how powerful it is and how profound its origins are, how can they not be excited? The descendants of the Dragon Sword Technique were also trembling with excitement. They seemed to see the ordinary sword in their hands gradually glowing with dazzling light.

Although the Dragon Soaring Sword Skills didn't seem particularly strong now, with such a legendary origin, it was enough for them to show off for a while. They imagined themselves standing at the top of the world, holding the Dragon Soaring Sword Skills, and being invincible, and their hearts were filled with pride and expectation.

Although Tiehu was a little confused and thought there might be loopholes, he felt proud when he thought about the legendary origin of Longteng Sword Technique. He was a calm middle-aged man with a look of wisdom and deep thought. He knew that no matter how history changed, the glory and responsibility of this inheritance would always be engraved in the hearts of the descendants of Longteng Sword Technique.

Everyone was mesmerized by Qingge's words and believed them without a doubt. They seemed to be brought into a world full of legends and mysteries, unable to extricate themselves.

"That orphan girl practiced martial arts in the mountains, and ten years later she came out and swept the martial arts world. No one could stop her." Qingge's words were filled with admiration, as if the figure of the orphan girl was slowly emerging in front of her eyes. "Her sword skills were sharp and domineering, and every move contained endless power. She was like a flash of lightning, breaking the tranquility of the martial arts world and shocking everyone."

"She was so powerful that she destroyed five sects in one night." Qingge's words were full of emotion, as if she could feel the pain and struggle in the heart of the orphan girl. "She didn't kill for the sake of killing, but for revenge. Those sects once besieged her family, causing her to lose all her relatives. Her knife was her weapon and her shield. She used it to protect herself and to punish those sinners."

"The people in the underworld realized that it was the descendants of that family who came back to seek revenge." Qingge had finished her story. She was secretly pleased with herself, thinking that her ability to deceive people could make everyone find a seat on their own. A sly look flashed in her eyes, as if she was enjoying the fun of the storytelling process.

Tie Sheng's eyes sparkled, and he asked anxiously: "She is so powerful, who can beat her? Isn't she the overlord of the world?" His heart was filled with admiration and yearning for the orphan girl, as if he saw the shadow of his own future.

"Who can compare to her in destroying five sects in one night? If she takes revenge, the martial arts world will be in trouble." Qingge's words were filled with a trace of regret, as if she could sense the turmoil and unrest in the martial arts world. "But, she is not the founder of Longteng Sword Technique."

When everyone heard this, the fire in their hearts suddenly died down, and their eyes were filled with disappointment. They seemed to have been poured with a bucket of cold water, falling from the peak of excitement to the bottom of disappointment.

"After talking so much, what kind of story would it be if there weren't some twists and turns?" Qingge secretly laughed in her heart, but pretended to be innocent on her face. "The masters in the martial arts world knew the identity of the orphan girl, so they united more than 20 sects and surrounded her in Guangmingding. After fighting for seven days and seven nights, the orphan girl couldn't hold on in the end and died in the cave."

Qingge sighed and spoke slowly. A trace of sadness flashed in her eyes, as if she could feel the despair and helplessness in the heart of the orphan girl. There was a hint of heaviness in her words, as if the tragedy of history was weighing on her heart.

Everyone was stunned when they heard this. They originally thought that the founder of Longteng Sword Technique was still alive and was a powerful overlord. Unexpectedly, she had passed away, and died so tragically. Their hearts were filled with shock and regret, as if they had lost an important spiritual pillar.

Who is the founder of Longteng Sword Technique? Everyone was full of doubts. They seemed to be drawn into a deeper mystery and could not extricate themselves. Their eyes flashed with desire and exploration for the unknown, as if they wanted to uncover this mystery and find the true origin of Longteng Sword Technique.

Mystery of the Dragon
In a blink of an eye, everyone was stunned, listening with doubts in their hearts. This sudden news was like a bolt from the blue, hard to believe.

"The ancestor of Longteng swordsmanship just disappeared so suddenly? But the more bizarre this is, the more people believe it. Life is not always smooth sailing. If those legendary figures had a smooth life, we would think it was unreal. Thinking of this, everyone's mind suddenly became clear, and their eyes flashed with unprecedented light, as if they had seen some big secret. It feels that even if this girl is not the ancestor of Longteng, she must have a close connection with the ancestor."

A disciple of Longteng Sect, with a curious look on his face, asked tentatively: "Master! There is such a legendary story behind Longteng Sword Technique. Our ancestor must have had a close relationship with this senior, right?"

Another disciple chimed in, "Maybe he's a disciple?"

"Either he is his biological son? That must be the case! Otherwise, where does the Longteng sword technique come from with such great power and might?" Another disciple said expectantly.

The disciples of Longteng Sect were stunned, their faces full of anticipation and curiosity. They seemed to have seen a whole new world, a world full of legends and mysteries.

Seeing this, Miss Qingge's face turned serious and she nodded slightly. However, her heart was full of disdain and ridicule. She thought: [Humph, these people are really shameless, they actually praised Long Teng so highly? Although Long Teng's sword skills are powerful, I am the only one in the Tang Dynasty who can fully control them. In my eyes, you are no different from ants, not even worthy of carrying my shoes. However, I came here this time for Li Shimin's matter, so I will tolerate your arrogance for a while. ]

Although he was disdainful in his heart, Qingge still said solemnly: "You guessed correctly, Long Teng's ancestor and this senior are indeed close friends. I tell you this because Long Teng and he have an indissoluble bond. Without him, Long Teng might not exist."

There was a sense of mystery and solemnity in her words, which made everyone more curious and expectant.

"There is one more thing. Before the senior died, he met a girl who was chopping wood. He gave her two pages of sword techniques. The girl was gifted and practiced hard day and night. Finally, she mastered the sword technique. Whenever she waved her sword, there was a sound of dragon roaring, and it seemed as if there was a dragon shadow shuttling through the sword light. That's how she got the name Longteng."

Qingge's words were like a spring breeze, refreshing and inspiring everyone. They seemed to have seen how a girl who chopped wood could rely on her talent and hard work to master the peerless swordsmanship and become the ancestor of Longteng.

When everyone heard this, they all gasped and were extremely excited. It turned out that the origin of Longteng had such a tortuous story, and the ancestor was a girl who chopped wood!

"How powerful this girl is! She can become a top expert just by learning the sword skills. It shows that the wisdom of the seniors is unfathomable!" exclaimed a disciple.

However, Tiehu frowned, looking puzzled. His master once said that Longteng Sword Technique originated from a sect, and later the sect was disbanded, and then a genius created this sword technique, which became famous all over the world. Now that Qingge said this, the ancestor has become a girl who chops wood. Isn't this nonsense?
But looking at the disciples, they were all fascinated and believed it without a doubt. Tiehu couldn't help but mutter in his heart: [Is what this girl said true? What is her relationship with Longteng? ]

However, Qingge looked at Tiehu with a smile, her eyes full of doting and mystery. She seemed to be able to see through Tiehu's mind and knew the doubts and confusion in his heart.

"What you heard is not true. This is the difference between the main branch and the side branch. Even the story of inheritance is false, do you still doubt yourself?" Qingge's words revealed a kind of confidence and mystery, which made Tiehu stunned.

He thought about it and was finally convinced. What he had heard about the Longteng inheritance before was all fake, and it was obviously gossip from the side branches. Now that the main lineage has appeared, something good must be happening. Longteng may be able to get back on track and become famous in the martial arts world again. Thinking of this, Tiehu was so excited that he showed a look of joy on his face.

He knelt on the ground with a plop, and bowed, "Thank you for your guidance, Senior. I believe you are the direct descendant of Longteng. Senior, are you here to give us some guidance?"

At this moment, Tiehu was completely convinced. He looked at Qingge expectantly, hoping that she could bring greater surprises and opportunities to him and Longtengmen.

Qingge smiled at Tiehu, with a hint of appreciation and satisfaction in her eyes. She knew that her plan was already half successful. Now, she only needed to add fuel to the fire to make the people of Longtengmen completely convinced of her.

"That's right. I came here for two reasons: one is to teach you the Longteng sword technique; the other is..." Qingge deliberately kept everyone in suspense, her expression even more mysterious. Her words revealed a kind of majesty and solemnity, which made everyone more expectant and curious.

"What is the second thing? Please tell me clearly, senior. No matter what it is, we will try our best." Tiehu is now convinced and grateful. As long as Qingge is willing to teach him the real Longteng swordsmanship, he will go through fire and water for it.

Qingge was overjoyed, but on the surface she remained calm. She knew that now was the time to show her true strength. So, she frowned slightly, sighed, and began to talk about the Dragon Teng Meridian.

Her voice was deep and infectious, making everyone seem to see a whole new world. She talked about the powerful martial arts and swordsmanship of Long Teng's predecessor, as well as the genius and brilliance of those who used them. However, she also reminded everyone that those powerful martial arts and swordsmanship eventually disappeared in the long river of history, and only Long Teng was passed down.

"Have you figured out the truth behind this?" Qingge's words revealed a depth and philosophy that made everyone fall into deep thought.

Yes, it is hard to tell the authenticity of those legendary dragon martial arts. But those who pursue them are the best among the best. It is not easy for the woodcutter to obtain the legacy and shake the martial arts world. But these evil geniuses eventually fell like meteors. On the contrary, the woodcutter relied on wisdom and hard work to comprehend the diagram and created the Dragon Sword Skill, which has been passed down to this day. The philosophy of life contained in it has gradually become clear.

"Senior! I understand!" Everyone nodded to show their understanding. They seemed to have seen a whole new world, a world full of philosophy and wisdom. They knew that only by keeping a low profile and being cautious could they go further. And the Dragon Sword Technique was the key and belief for them to move towards the future.
