Daily News: You promised yourself to be a fisherman, but you've become a martial arts god?

Li Nian nodded and said:

"Nian'er has some knowledge of classical texts."

Tell me about it.

"yes!"

Li Nian responded and said, according to the records in the classics:

"The cave heaven is the junction of many major dragon veins. The void rifts are sealed by the thick earth energy for a long time, forming a small interlayer world. Inside, there are miniature suns and moons, streams and mountains, and the flow of time is often different from the outside world."

"This blessed land is where the spiritual veins of the mountains converge and the earth's spiritual springs are connected. It absorbs the clear light of the sun and moon year after year, and its spiritual energy far surpasses that of the outside world, forming a beautiful and spiritual land. It has only one layer of spatial barrier, and the inside and outside are connected. It has no independent sun and moon and depends on the earth for its existence."

"You've read a lot!"

Yi Shurao nodded in satisfaction.

Suddenly, her beautiful eyes narrowed, her gaze turning icy, and she said:

"Unfortunately, most of the books you've read have been distorted!"

"tamper?"

"That's right!"

Yi Shurao's beautiful eyes flashed with anger as she said:

"Books are written by people, but whether a book can be published is subject to human control, especially books about martial arts!"

"Martial arts are revered. Which member of the royal family, the imperial nobility, or the high-ranking officials would willingly allow commoners to rise up and trample on their heads?"

"Nian'er, you have already embarked on the path of martial arts. The martial world and the imperial court are far more complex than you imagine. Don't blindly trust books and people; you must develop your own judgment so that you can achieve something great in the future!"

really!

It's truly a dog-eat-dog world!

Li Nian was not too shocked by Yi Shurao's words.

No matter what era you live in, there are some things that you can't see if you don't have the status or position to see them.

Gathering his thoughts, Li Nian clasped his hands in a fist salute and said:

"Thank you for your guidance, Yi Niang!"

Yi Shurao nodded, squinted, took a deep breath to calm herself, and then paced back and forth, saying:

"There are several kinds of blessed lands, such as those derived from the Great Dao, those left behind after the attainment of the Dao, and those evolved from celestial phenomena, but in general, they can be divided into two main types: natural and man-made."

"What you just learned from the book is a kind of natural paradise."

"The Xuan Turtle Essence Pool in the Shaking Mountain Camp was man-made."

At this point, Yi Shurao paused, her eyes showing a hint of reminiscence, and said:

"General Ji Zhenyue, who was in charge of the Western Garrison, obtained a spiritual artifact called the 'Black Tortoise Mountain-Shaking Shield' from a blessed land in his early years."

"It is said that this item contains the essence blood of the divine beast Xuanwu, which can absorb the spiritual energy of heaven and earth and transform it into essence blood. Therefore, someone was asked to refine it into a secret realm, which is the Xuanwu Essence Pouring Pool."

"Although this pool is as different from a true paradise as the bright moon and fireflies, everyone who enters it will benefit from it."

"In the past, this secret realm was only open to the Shaking Mountain Camp. I don't know what got into the Ji family this time, but they're being so generous."

"However, for Qianhu County, it's ultimately a good thing. This martial arts banquet will liven up the long-dormant small county town!"

Li Nian nodded knowingly.

If he doesn't need to go to the Mountain Shaking Camp, but can get into the top three, he can enter the secret realm within the county, which is a good thing for him and worth going!

Lost in thought, Steward He's voice came through the communication hole:

"Master, Young Master Zong is making a scene outside, demanding to see you."

"I'm coming down right now!"

Yi Shurao frowned slightly and said to Li Nian:

"Nian'er, let your mother go down."

"yes!"

Li Nian responded.

Then, Yi Shurao moved her delicate body, and like a gentle breeze and flowing clouds, she lightly passed through the narrow corridor.

Li Nian was stunned.

Then, it dawned on me.

Yes, how could such a powerful patriarch not have practiced movement techniques?

Yi Shurao initially made it seem cramped on purpose, as a joke.

"This Yi Niang... is really interesting."

Li Nian smiled wryly.

A moment later, they left the Sutra Repository.

Meanwhile, outside the library.

A handsome young man lay on a palanquin, directing four servants to forcibly carry him into the courtyard.

As soon as the palanquin landed, the man began to hurl insults at the servants who were trying to stop him:

"A bunch of trash! Don't you know who I am? I'm your family head's nephew!"

"Besides, I got injured like this because of the Yi family!"

"If I hadn't been fighting so hard on the front lines, would you all be able to live peacefully here?!"

"When I see my aunt, I'll make her chop you all up and feed you to the dogs!"

As the man continued cursing, Li Nian followed Yi Shurao out of the Sutra Repository.

Looking at the man in front of her, a cold glint flashed in Li Nian's eyes.

The man was none other than the one from Crescent Moon Island who had challenged him to a duel—

Zong Zhengyu.

However, Zong Zhengyu's spine is now shattered into pieces. Even if he is cured, he will be bedridden for the rest of his life and become a cripple!

"aunt!"

Upon seeing Yi Shurao appear, Zong Zhengyu felt as if he had seen a savior and shouted excitedly.

A hint of helplessness flashed in Yi Shurao's eyes, then she looked coldly at the servants present and said:

"All of you, stand back!"

"yes!"

The servants all left.

Yi Shurao approached Zong Zhengyu and asked:

"Zhengyu, didn't I tell you to have Zhengwu escort you back to the Zong family? Why aren't you going back yet?"

"Auntie, you're telling me to go back alone? How am I supposed to get back?"

Zong Zhengyu showed no regard for Yi Shurao's intentions and spoke with an air of being in the right:

"Auntie, I've told you before, I want my two cousins, Yui and Aki, to come home with me and become my wives!"

"I risked my life to fight the bandits of Shenyuan Village for the sake of the Yi family, and now I am a cripple."

"For such merit, you must marry your two cousins ​​to me to continue the family line!"

Upon hearing this, Steward He angrily rebuked:

"Zong Zhengyu, watch your tone..."

"Manager Crane!"

Yi Shurao glanced coldly at Steward He, who lowered his head and dared not say another word.

Seeing this, Zong Zhengyu felt even more guilty towards Yi Shurao and intensified his attack:

"Aunt, I suffered such severe injuries for the sake of the Yi family. May I ask, who in the Yi family has been as loyal to you as I have?"

"Based on my loyalty to the Yi family, you should grant me the surname Yi and let me enjoy the treatment of a meritorious official of the Yi family. Only in this way will outsiders say that the Yi family treats its meritorious officials well."

"Furthermore, if you marry my two cousins, Yui and Aki, to me, our children will bear the Yi surname, and they will all inherit my loyalty to the Yi family..."

"Shut up!"

Before Zong Zhengyu could finish speaking, Yi Shurao shouted angrily.

Zong Zhengyu said angrily:

"Auntie, you're yelling at me! You're yelling at me, a meritorious member of the Yi family!"

"achievement?"

Yi Shurao sneered and said:

"I'm only being lenient with you because you're my nephew and there were servants around. Do you really think I don't know anything?"

"Blindly being arrogant and engaging in a duel with bandits, without informing Yi Huan, almost led to the annihilation of the entire island's inhabitants. Is this considered a merit?"

"You deserved to be crippled!"

In order to give the people on the island the merits they deserved, she inquired in detail about the events of that day.

She was utterly disappointed in Zong Zhengyu, and almost dragged Li Nian down with her.

If anything happens to Li Nian, Liu Jun...

Upon hearing this, Zong Zhengyu froze, only then noticing Li Nian behind Yi Shurao, and roared:

"Li Nian, you peasant, did you falsely report your military achievements?!"

"Shut up! Nian'er has never said a bad word about you!"

"Never said a bad word about me? Ha!"

Seeing Yi Shurao siding with Li Nian and ignoring her nephew, Zong Zhengyu completely lost his mind and roared:

"Yi Shurao! Don't think I don't know anything!"

"You and this peasant master were having a lot of fun wrestling like rabbits in the room, weren't you? If you don't want everyone to know about this, you'd better let my two cousins, Yui and Aki, marry me."

"Also, kill that peasant Li Nian!"

"By the way, come to my room tonight, I'd like to try some..."

"court death!"

Yi Shurao's beautiful face was filled with rage, and a powerful gust of wind swept around her, raising dust in the courtyard.

Suddenly, he raised his palm and slammed it down on Zong Zhengyu's crown. Zong Zhengyu stared in astonishment at the ever-enlarging palm in front of him. Startled, he instantly regained his composure and tried to say something, but the palm had already landed.

boom!

The watermelon exploded, red and white pieces flying everywhere...
