Mang Shusheng's Ink Painting Practice

Chapter 178 The news they each got

Zhao Yifu didn't think about the terrifying existence he encountered in the underworld. He felt that he should not come into contact with it for the time being. After all, there were so many ghosts in the underworld, so there was no reason to pick on him, a living person, right?
"Master, do you want to go out for a walk?"

Huigu asked meaningfully.

Of course Zhao Yifu understood what she meant. She wanted to find out some information.

He said, "Okay, let's go out for a walk."

"Just you and Li Nu'er follow me."

He is trying to act like a young master.

He planned to visit various sects and ask around to see if there was any useful information.

In fact, all the sects here have similar plans, and everyone gathers in groups of three or four to exchange information with each other.

Zhao Yifu easily got into the second-generation rich's bureau... There was nothing he could do about it, because he was the one with the maid.

This kind of person is generally difficult to get along with, but it depends on the method.

"Hey, these two furnaces are top-grade. Who is this brother?"

"Crazy Confucian Sect? I've never heard of it. Is it some small sect from somewhere?"

"How about you give these two furnaces to me, and I'll grant you an opportunity?"

"What, you want to fight?"

"You don't really want to attack me, do you? You should know that if you do, your entire Crazy Confucian Sect will be in trouble..."

"Go ahead and fight! If you don't fight this time, you're a coward!"

"You really want to fight? What are you standing there for? Come on, kill him! Don't worry about the reputation of the Wanshou Sect!"

“… Spare my life!”

Li Nuer clapped her hands happily and cheered, "Master, come on! Master, you're amazing! Master, you're awesome!"

Huigu had a strange expression on her face. Although it was embarrassing and annoying for her to be treated as a cauldron and wanted to be taken away, at this moment she felt as if she was being strongly protected.

Of course, she couldn't scream shamelessly like Li Nu'er. She even nudged Zhao Yifu and said, "Ahem... Master, let him go. It would be terrible if someone died."

Zhao Yifu retracted his fist, loosened his grip on the man's collar, and threw it to the ground. He then said calmly to the second-generation rich people beside him, "You saw it too. He asked me to hit him. I've never seen such a strange request."

The second-generation rich people nearby were just watching the fun and didn't take it seriously at all.

One of them said, "Hey, what's your name, brother?"

Zhao Yifu hesitated for a moment, then said, "I've recently earned a nickname: 'Ghost-Seeing Sorrow'."

The man laughed and said, "Okay, then I'll call you Brother Chou."

"Brother Chou, you beat him up for the sake of two girls. Aren't you worried that the sect behind him will cause trouble?"

Zhao Yifu said nonchalantly, "Come on then. I have a master, the Crazy Confucian Sect also has a leader, and the Heaven Realm also has a patriarch. Let's just see who has stronger connections."

The man said, "Brother Chou is really straightforward. What he said is very clear."

"This guy is also stupid. Everyone in this circle is involved. Who doesn't have some connections behind the scenes?"

"Not to mention that Brother Chou's attack was measured and didn't leave any irreparable injuries. Even if there were, he deserved it for his behavior... His behavior is obviously that of a second-generation rich kid from a small town who is used to bullying others. He's not worth paying attention to."

Zhao Yifu felt the same way and said, "Yes, the more you've seen the world, the more you'll feel in awe..."

The man said, "That's very insightful. I'm Lu Feng from the Tiangang Sanbao Sect. Brother Chou and I hit it off right away."

Zhao Yifu laughed and said, "I feel the same way. Brother Lu is also a wise man."

Then some second-generation disciples nearby agreed, "That's right. These days, which inherited sect doesn't have an old ancestor behind it? Even if there's no old ancestor, there's still a Heavenly Patriarch."

"It's really unpleasant. Even the face of heaven can't stand it. We might be abandoned."

More and more people understand this.

"That's right, that's right. My father is afraid that I'll bring disgrace to our family, so he specifically asks me to read books of sages and learn the ways of a gentleman. It's really a headache."

Zhao Yifu immediately agreed, "Who says it's not true? I've memorized all the Four Books and Five Classics."

"Haha, Brother Chou is a mad Confucian, so you have to memorize this book, right?"

Zhao Yifu immediately denounced him, "Not only did they make me memorize it, but they also made me practice calligraphy and painting day and night, fearing that my handwriting and painting skills wouldn't be up to par..."

Everyone was even happier after hearing this, and felt that Zhao Yifu was definitely one of their own.

So he said, "Now that I hear that, it turns out Brother Chou is the worst off."

"If you ask me, since we are destined to never become immortals, it would be better for us to enjoy our lives in the mortal world rather than pursuing that illusory path to immortality."

At this time, the one with a more relaxed mentality expressed his opinion.

Zhao Yifu nodded and praised, "That's right. My Xuanmen practitioners are all about having clear thoughts. If we can't have clear thoughts just for the sake of practicing, then what's the point of wasting time?"

A group of people were making a lot of noise and were having a great time.

Hui Gu watched in amazement as Zhao Yi Fu quickly became friends with a group of second-generation rich people. They seemed to have similar interests, as if they were good friends who had known each other for decades.

She thinks men’s emotions are magical. Can they happen so quickly?

Then Zhao Yi Fu simply took out a lot of food and wine from his sleeves and ate, drank and chatted happily with everyone.

Lu Feng asked curiously, "Brother Chou, you have quite a few things hidden in your sleeves."

Zhao Yifu laughed and said, "It's just an ordinary spell to extend space. When my master taught me this, he joked with me that when I reached a high level, I could build a cave in a grain of river sand."

"But I definitely can't do that. But I can have a servant around to help me prepare delicious food at any time."

Upon hearing this, one of them grabbed Zhao Yifu's sleeve and said, "Brother Chou, are you serious? I want to see what the servant in this sleeve looks like."

Zhao Yi reluctantly opened his right sleeve and said, "Alright, take a look for yourself."

As he spoke, the man put his head into his sleeve, looking like a curious baby.

Zhao Yifu was really helpless when he saw this. This guy really had no sense of vigilance at all.

But it is also true that growing up in an overly safe environment will make people lose their guard.

However, Zhao Yifu naturally would not do anything extreme and allowed him to look inside his sleeves.

"Wow, there really is a huge space in here, and there's actually an old servant cooking."

"There are so many cats. Wow, how can there be such fat cats... Ouch!"

He screamed, pulled his head back and sat down on the ground.

Everyone looked at him in surprise and saw a cat scratch on his face.

Zhao Yifu saw this and quickly stepped forward to help the man up, saying, "That's my cat. It understands human nature and knows what you said, brother!"

The man was scratched on the face but he didn't take it as an offense. He laughed and said, "I spoke without thinking. But the cat is very interesting. Can you let it out so I can take another look?"

Zhao Yi Fu nodded, and with a wave of his sleeve, he released a big fat calico cat.

"Its name is Hua Da Niu, and it's been with me for a long time." As he said that, he rubbed Hua Da Niu's plump body, making the cat, which was originally a little dissatisfied, squint its eyes comfortably instantly.

Well, since the owner needs it, it is forced to operate.

Hua Da Nv suddenly became open-minded.

"Meow~"

He shouted at the top of his lungs, as a way of greeting the people around him.

"Wait, this cat has a demonic aura... Could it be a cat demon?"

Hua Da Niu said angrily, "What's wrong with being a demon? Do you have any objections?"

When he was angry, his demonic power exploded.

Everyone fell silent, and their eyes towards Zhao Yifu changed.

Because they discovered that what Zhao Yi Fu was rubbing in his hands was probably a big monster!
Wow, raising a cat demon as a pet, and the magical secrets it inadvertently displayed, made all the second-generation rich kids feel differently.

In the following time, the atmosphere among the crowd quickly became lively again.

There is one good thing about this group of second-generation rich people. They don’t have any expectations of themselves, so they don’t have any desires and just care about their own happiness.

So even though they found that Zhao Yifu was really different, they still got along with him as before.

Only the way of addressing has changed.

Originally, everyone was the same, so they called him Brother Chou.

But now they felt that Zhao Yifu should be a level higher than them, so they simply called him "Mr. Chou".

Just like that, Zhao Yifu's nickname of 'Ghost-Seeing Sorrow' evolved into 'Mr. Sorrow'. The connection is clear and in line with the process.

Then the content of the conversations among these young masters in the cultivation world was not vulgar talk about things like furnaces and tripods, but various anecdotes, and they would even share some of the wonderful methods they had obtained without hesitation.

This group of people generally have no guard against the people around them, and the core idea of ​​their education since childhood is: don't cause trouble for the sect/family.

So at least everyone acted very easy to get along with and spoke very nicely.

From this we can see that this group of second-generation rich people are not heirs.

Everyone was chatting and gossiping, and time passed quickly.

Wu Zhong had been cooking in Zhao Yifu's sleeves for a whole day. If Zhao Yifu had not shattered his own golden elixir and performed the Shouren method on him, the old servant would probably not have been able to hold on any longer.

Only after everyone had dispersed did Zhao Yi Fu stretch and return to the sect's headquarters.

When he returned to the house, he saw that Wensheng and the others had also returned.

Everyone noticed that he reeked of alcohol and nodded in appreciation.

This is a real job.

Elder Cangqiu nodded with satisfaction and said, "Fu Yinzi is really serious about his work, unlike these idiots. You are asked to gather information, but you always come back covered in mud!"

Zhao Yifu was a little confused. He just went there to eat, drink and brag at the same time. How could he be praised for this?
Oh, he had forgotten that this was how he did things in Danqingmen.

Get a group of people together to hold a literary gathering, drink and have fun while eating and drinking and get things done.

In fact, he also thought that Wen Sheng and others were going to a party... Oh, Wen Hui.

Now it seems that is not the case?
Wen Sheng sighed, but said unconvincedly, "They see me in my Confucian robes and think I'm just a sour Confucian. How can I deal with that? I must make them understand the truth of Confucianism."

A group of fellow disciples responded in unison, apparently they had encountered similar situations.

Elder Cangqiu said unhappily, "So you're going to let them understand how hard Confucian truth is?"

Zhao Yifu was speechless.

He remembered that he was provoked as soon as he went out.
So he said, "Truth lies only under the iron fist, there is nothing wrong with that."

Old man Cangqiu quickly covered his chest and gasped twice, because he had never expected that Zhao Yifu would interrupt like this at this time.

Liang Zhongzhi quickly scolded: "Jun Xin, how can you, a child, talk to your elders?"

Zhao Yifu quickly apologized with a shameless face.

But top students always get preferential treatment, so Old Man Cangqiu didn't scold Zhao Yifu. After calming down, he just asked, "Did you fight with someone too?"

The silly maidservant behind Zhao Yifu, Li Nu'er, was already saying excitedly, "The young master is really powerful. He pinned the man to the ground and beat him so hard that he begged for mercy and almost called him daddy."

Zhao Yi Fu glared at the silly maid fiercely, as if to say: You are so quick-witted!
But the simple-minded Li Nuer didn't know how to read people's expressions, and she even repeated the whole process in vivid detail.

Wen Sheng and others listened with great interest. They felt that Zhao Yi Fu was indeed the best of their generation and his fighting skills were really worth it.

Elder Cangqiu listened patiently, then asked, "So what happens after the fight?"

Wen Sheng and the others were dumbfounded. What else was there after the fight? Of course, they would go to the next one.

Zhao Yifu said, "After the fight, we discussed it with the elites from the Tiangang Sanjue Sect and other local sects. We all reached a consensus that the one who got beaten was a very bad guy."

"Then I drank and chatted with them, and we established some initial friendships."

Huigu rolled her eyes when she heard this.

Elder Cangqiu knew what was going on immediately and said, "Xiaohui, tell me."

Hui Gu quickly stood up, clasped her fists and said, "As you wish."

"Young Master did indeed make good friends with those eleven dandies from the major sects. In fact, they were almost sworn brothers before we returned."

Old Man Cangqiu was delighted to hear this. He said, "Well, you are indeed a man who knows how to deal with things... I was saying, if you can make us old folks happy, how can you not know the ways of the world?"

"Based on this alone, I feel that you are more suitable to be the leader than Qiuyu!"

This is a very hurtful statement.

But old man Cangqiu said it.

Everyone just listened and didn't say a word for Master Qiu Yuzi.

There is no way around it, it's because of the ethos of the Danqing Sect that if a disciple were to become an official in the court, they would definitely consider exiling the Sect Leader as the highest achievement of their life.

"Fu Yinzi, tell us everything you heard at the party. It should give you a lot of information."

Zhao Yifu was stunned for a moment and said, "Where do I remember this?"

Just as he was worried, Hui Gu beside him said, "Teacher Cangqiu, if you don't mind, how about Xiaohui explain it on behalf of the young master?"

Old Man Cangqiu said without objection: "Okay, you go ahead."

Next, Hui Gu demonstrated her extraordinary memory and actually repeated everything everyone said at the party.

What's even more exaggerated is that she even wrote down all the magical skills shared by those prodigal sons and even did a simple analysis.

I have to say, he is worthy of being the successor of Zhenyidao. His learning ability is really exaggerated.

And in Huigu's narration, everyone actually discovered some interesting things...
