While writing a diary at Zongwu, Wang Yuyan falls in love with someone else.

"Is Chu honest? He's anything but honest! A young master loses his beauty amidst the flowers, a master thief leaves his fragrance under the moon. Ha, that kid's quite the ladies' man!"

Huang Yaoshi shook his head and chuckled, then suddenly remembered his beloved daughter and frowned.

He then released his grip and said, "But this kid does look like me; he has a sinister aura about him."

Jiang Sishui was displeased upon hearing this: "If I had been born a few decades earlier, I would be the one who looks like me!"

Huang Yaoshi was not annoyed at all; on the contrary, he was even more pleased. He said to Zhao Tianhao, "Brother Zhao, is he your employer?"

In his joy, he even changed how he addressed her.

Zhao Tianhao and Huang Yaoshi had only met a few times and did not have a deep relationship, so they addressed each other with politeness.

But since Huang Yaoshi had changed his tune, he naturally couldn't remain unchanged: "Young people are bound to be hot-blooded. It would be best if Brother Yaoshi didn't hold it against him."

Huang Yaoshi suddenly straightened his face and asked, "What if I insist on arguing? Would Brother Zhao fight with me?"

Seeing Huang Yaoshi's sudden change of expression, which was indeed as unpredictable as rumored, making it impossible for anyone to understand his true thoughts, Zhao Tianhao couldn't help but frown.

Zhao Tianhao had never fought Huang Yaoshi before and didn't know how strong this Peach Blossom Island Master was, but when the other party's face darkened, he instinctively felt a sense of pressure.

That was an intuition he had developed over many years of wandering the world.

This Peach Blossom Island Master is definitely a formidable rival!

However, Zhao Tianhao, though surprised, remained calm and said without hesitation, "The foundation of the Central Plains Escort Agency lies in keeping its promises."

Huang Yaoshi smiled.

He turned to look at Jiang Sishui: "Kid, you have good taste. The backer you found is reliable."

Jiang Sishui shook her head: "It's not that I have good judgment or found the right person, but rather that the reputation of the Central Plains Escort Agency is well-deserved and attracted me."

Upon hearing this, Zhao Tianhao, who was standing in front, couldn't help but smile, feeling a sense of pride.

These words are clearly the best recognition of the Central Plains Escort Agency.

It was worth all the hard work he put into it over the years.

Huang Yaoshi nodded without refuting, and then asked, "Young man, what's your name?"

"The river is like water."

"Young Jiang, I see you don't know any martial arts, so how about I teach you a skill?"

"it is good!"

"You agreed so readily? Aren't you going to ask me why I'm teaching you martial arts for no reason?"

"Your wife just said that I look a lot like you, so I suppose you find me pleasing to the eye."

"Haha! Good lad, you're quite clever! Listen up, Peach Blossom Island has many martial arts techniques, including the Azure Wave Palm Technique and the Orchid Finger Finger Technique..."

"Flick of the Finger!" Jiang Sishui suddenly interrupted.

"What?" Huang Yaoshi was taken aback.

Jiang Sishui said frankly, "I have long heard of your name, senior, and I have heard that your signature skill is the 'Finger Flicking Divine Skill'. Since you are willing to teach me, I will of course learn the most powerful one."

Huang Yaoshi couldn't help but chuckle: "Young Jiang, you're really quite impolite."

"You should seize any opportunity that comes your way. I dislike those who are reluctant to give up or who put on airs the most."

"Haha! Not bad! Not bad! You're becoming more and more to my liking. But... it's a pity I can't teach you that."

"why?"

"Because the 'Flick of the Finger' technique requires powerful internal energy to activate, and it is very difficult to cultivate, it is not suitable for beginners."

"I see. Then I will come back to ask for your guidance when I have acquired sufficient internal strength."

After mastering profound internal strength, how can one then learn the "Finger Flicking Divine Skill"?

Huang Yaoshi raised an eyebrow, thinking to himself, "This kid is truly fearless, like a newborn calf. Does he think learning martial arts is as simple as reading the Four Books and Five Classics, something that can be mastered quickly in a short time? When you come back to me after you've mastered your skills, it might be more than ten years from now?"

However, Huang Yaoshi opened his mouth but ultimately didn't say those words.

He was both too lazy to explain and didn't want to dampen Jiang Sishui's enthusiasm.

In any case, this was Jiang Sishui's own choice. If he missed it, then it was his fate.

The tone shifted abruptly: "Young Jiang, are you heading to Leigu Mountain?"

"Exactly."

"You're not a member of the martial arts world, yet you want to meddle in its affairs. But I don't think you're a fool... Hmm? Do you perhaps believe you can solve the 'Precious Chess Game'?"

"I cannot answer that. I am on my way to see a senior elder."

"I see."

Hearing this, Huang Yaoshi did not ask any further questions.

There was a brief silence.

Just as Jiang Sishui was pondering how to subtly steer the conversation toward Huang Rong, she suddenly saw a large crowd gathering ahead, shouting and yelling.

"Huh? Looks like there's going to be some excitement."

Huang Yaoshi flicked the reins, and the carriage sped away.

Zhao Tianhao hesitated for a moment, then tried to go around it.

Requesting flowers (or flowers)

Having spent many years navigating the world, he knew all too well that some things were best avoided; if he got caught in the crossfire, he might become the next "spectacle."

The most important thing right now is to protect Jiang Sishui's safety.

At this moment, Jiang Sishui suddenly said, "Uncle Zhao, why don't we go over and take a look? Let's see how lively this 'Zhenlong Chess Tournament' is."

"Since we're traveling with Island Master Huang, I doubt anyone will be foolish enough to cause trouble."

Uncle Zhao?

Upon hearing Jiang Sishui's new way of addressing him, Zhao Tianhao took a deep look at his eldest daughter, whose figure was only partially visible in the carriage.

After a moment's thought, Zhao Tianhao nodded: "Okay."

Zhao Qiying looked at Jiang Sishui meaningfully and said, "Why are you suddenly so eager to join in the fun today? This isn't like you."

"As the saying goes, 'One can know the whole leopard from a single spot.' It's so lively there, let's go over and see how many groups of experts have come to Leigu Mountain, so we can have a better understanding of the situation."

.. ..... ...

Jiang Sishui appeared serious, but was actually somewhat guilty.

Can he say that he followed Huang Yaoshi to find out news about Huang Rong?

Huang Yaoshi came to attend the "Zhenlong Chess Gathering," such a lively event, but Huang Rong, with her playful nature, didn't come along.

Could she have run away from home like in the original story?

Thinking of this, Jiang Sishui felt anxious, fearing that she would get together with someone else first.

As they drew closer, the shouts became clearer.

"Bohu! Go for it! Poke a hundred and eighty holes in this old monster!"

"I never expected Bo Hu's martial arts skills to be so outstanding. It really is true that 'you can't judge a book by its cover.'"

"Exactly! From now on, if anyone dares to say that our Four Great Talents of Suzhou are all show and no substance, let Bo Hu stab them and see what happens!"

Then another voice cried out—

"The Starry Sky Immortal possesses boundless magical power! This brat has already fallen victim to the Immortal's magic!"

"That's right. Don't be fooled by how energetic this kid is now. In just a short while, he'll be covered in pus and blood and die."

"It's not too late to kneel down and beg for forgiveness, and admit your mistakes to the old immortal."

"Tang Tiger, why don't you quickly convert to the Old Immortal's teachings? What are you waiting for!"

"What tiger? He's a sick cat! To others he's a tiger, but in the hands of the old immortal, he's just a sick cat!"

"Hahaha, absolutely right!"

Inside the carriage, Jiang Sishui's eyes lit up.

Tang Bohu, the talented scholar from Suzhou? Ding Chunqiu, the eccentric old man from Xingxiu?

How did these two start fighting?

Jiang Sishui immediately became interested.

061 The Four Great Talents? More like the Four Great Scoundrels!

"You sick cat my ass! Go to hell!"

Tang Bohu, who was already at a disadvantage due to Ding Chunqiu's poison skills during the fierce battle, became even more agitated after being poisoned by a group of Xingxiu Sect disciples.

With a sharp spear thrust, Tang Bohu forced back Ding Chunqiu's palm, then leaped backward, pinched his left thumb, and pressed it into the ground with his palm!

"Shoot the bull from across the mountain!"

With a palm strike from a distance, a winding silver light, resembling an arc of electricity, darted across the ground like a snake, completely ignoring Ding Chunqiu in the middle and blasting the noisy disciples behind him into the air.
