One person: I am just a pawnshop owner

"You little brat, look at your junior brother, and then look at yourself! The only thing you're better than your junior brother at is your comprehension of martial arts training! (Good job!)"

Zhang Zhiwei scratched his head and laughed:

"There's nothing I can do about it. After all, Jianxi was trained by you personally. How can my virtue compare to Jianxi's?"

He said this calmly, without any abnormality on his face.

Zhang Jingqing took in his expression.

Although he said this on the surface, wasn't he extremely satisfied with Zhang Zhiwei?

Not to mention the other party's incredible talent in martial arts training.

Just talk about this simple and honest nature, with few selfish desires.

It is already extremely valuable!

Such people are born to walk on a great road!

Zhang Jingqing silently chanted "Blessings to the Heavenly Lord" in his heart.

He actually has two such good disciples.

It was truly the Dao Ancestor appearing.

The news of the bestowed surname quickly spread throughout Longhu Mountain.

When the disciples were confused about this, Zhang Jingqing spoke up himself.

He stated that the surname Jianxi was given to him because of his virtue, and he also repeated what Zhang Jianxi had said in the hall at that time.

As soon as these words were spoken, no one in Longhu Mountain was puzzled by this anymore.

Everyone agreed.

After all, when it comes to virtue, no one in Longhu Mountain can compare to Zhang Jianxi, who has been trained by Zhang Jingqing since childhood.

It's like the difference between nature and nurture.

The days passed gradually.

The three months of Zhang Zhiwei's retreat passed quietly. After he came out, he became even more free and easy. Although his behavior was exactly the same as before, people who were attentive could still notice a difference.

Obviously, these three months of retreat have helped Zhang Zhiwei make some progress.

After being given a surname, Zhang Jianxi worked even harder than before.

He even worked so hard that Zhang Jingqing needed to be dissuaded.

After another year and a half, Zhang Jianxi's strength had already allowed him to firmly occupy the upper-middle level in Longhu Mountain.

This may not seem like a big deal, but you have to remember that he is only eleven and a half years old.

Even in one competition, his senior brother who had joined the sect nearly ten years earlier than him was defeated by Zhang Jianxi without paying attention.

At that time, many fellow disciples on the mountain could not help but be surprised and ridiculed.

Faced with these reactions, Zhang Jianxi remained calm and continued to practice steadily.

In addition to practicing, Zhang Jianxi would occasionally accompany other brothers to walk down the mountain.

But I have never walked as far as I did when I accompanied Zhang Zhiwei to Nanchang.

Now he only goes to Yingtan Town at most.

As he appeared in Yingtan Town more and more frequently, everyone in Yingtan knew that there was a smart and lovely little Taoist priest on Longhu Mountain.

Because Zhang Jianxi's face became more and more handsome and his own otherworldly temperament brought about by his own practice of Taoism, his fame in Yingtan Town suddenly surpassed those of his senior brothers who often went down the mountain.

Even his fame is gradually spreading to the surrounding counties and towns.

More and more people are asking about the young Taoist priest in Longhu Mountain.

For a time, the incense offerings on Longhu Mountain became very popular because of this.

This made Zhang Jingqing and his fellow brothers feel a little funny and interesting.

However, for the parties involved, most of them are helpless.

The days passed by, and in a blink of an eye, another five years had passed.

The time came to the 12th year of the Republic of China (1923).

On this day, the Tianshi Mansion received an invitation.

It was sent by the famous Lu family.

It was the eightieth birthday of the Lu family’s grandfather, and he specially invited famous people from the martial arts world to attend the birthday banquet.

As one of the four major families in the martial arts world, the Lu family has considerable influence.

And the Lu family has an excellent reputation.

Due to the Lu family's special family motto, the Lu family has many enemies throughout the martial arts world, and they are all willing to take the initiative to make friends with the Lu family.

Therefore, Zhang Jingqing readily accepted the Lu family's invitation.

After some thought, he decided to take Zhang Zhiwei and Zhang Jianxi with him.

In recent years, Zhang Jingqing has been very proud of these two people, one as the strength benchmark of the Tianshi Mansion and the other as the morality benchmark of the Tianshi Mansion.

But there are still some things that bother him.

Let’s talk about Zhang Zhiwei first. Zhang Jingqing could see that this kid’s character had become a little crooked again. Because he was always invincible among his fellow disciples, a kind of arrogance unconsciously grew in him.

This is a big taboo for those who practice cultivation!

People are afraid of being overconfident in themselves!

There will definitely be young talents from other sects at the Lu family's birthday banquet this time. Zhang Jingqing wants Zhang Zhiwei to see that he is not the only hero in the world.

It would be best if we could have a competition to curb Zhang Zhiwei's arrogance.

So that he knows he is not invincible.

Let’s talk about Zhang Jianxi. If Zhang Jingqing wanted to dampen Zhang Zhiwei’s enthusiasm, then he wanted to motivate Zhang Jianxi.

Zhang Jianxi has been extremely hardworking and diligent over the years, and coupled with his own great talent, his own strength has already jumped into the top three in the sect.

But because he always lost to Zhang Zhiwei, Zhang Jianxi always underestimated his own strength.

Zhang Jingqing brought Zhang Jianxi down the mountain this time to make Zhang Jianxi confident in his own abilities!

His two most proud disciples (bhef).

One is too arrogant, the other is not determined enough.

They really are a reflection of each other.

Thinking of this, Zhang Jingqing couldn't help feeling helpless.

But immediately he thought of something else.

Among the disciples of Longhu Mountain, Zhang Zhiwei and Zhang Jianxi were not the only ones who received extra attention from Zhang Jingqing.

There was another person, Zhang Jingqing, who was also silently watching him.

This time after returning from the birthday party, he will definitely have a heart-to-heart talk with the other party.

Keeping this hidden is not a good thing.

To put it simply, this is caution.

But to put it in a broader sense, this is deceiving the teacher.

After returning from the birthday party, Zhang Jingqing wanted to see what was going on with his disciple!

Afterwards, Zhang Jingqing informed his subordinates about the Lu family's birthday party, and specifically asked Zhang Zhiwei and Zhang Jianxi to follow.

No one had any objections.

Zhang Zhiwei and Zhang Jianxi also went to pack their luggage.

This time I am going on a long journey.

The Lu family lived in Jiande, Zhejiang Province.

It’s quite far from Longhu Mountain.

After packing their luggage, the two went to the mountain gate to meet Zhang Jingqing.

Then the three of them said goodbye to their disciples and left.

On the way, Zhang Zhiwei chatted idly.

Among the three, he was the most lively and cheerful, and most of the topics on the road were brought up by him.

Whenever he said something outrageous, he would always be scolded by Zhang Jingqing.

Then he will be quiet for a while.

But after a moment he would continue speaking and then continue to be scolded.

This repetitive cycle makes the journey not boring at all.

Finally, seven days later, the three of them arrived in Hangzhou, the capital of Zhejiang Province.

Zhang Jingqing decided to rest here for a day.

After all, Hangzhou is famous for its beautiful scenery, so it would be nice to take a walk around.

The three masters and apprentices walked through the streets and alleys of Hangzhou in Taoist robes.

West Lake, Broken Bridge, Leifeng Pagoda...

All the beautiful scenery can be seen.

But in addition to the beautiful scenery, there are also large numbers of students and people parading in Hangzhou.

They each held a banner, wore a black Zhongshan suit, and walked around the city.

The content of the banner is to oppose the recent international proposal that Britain and the United States take over China.

Everyone in the team was excited and looked serious.

Looking at these groups of teams, Zhang Jianxi couldn't help but sigh.

"This is a major change that China hasn't seen in a thousand years. I'm afraid there will be chaos in the future."

Zhang Jingqing glanced at Zhang Jianxi and then asked:

"Then if troubled times really come, Jianxi, what are your plans?"

Zhang Jianxi thought for a moment, then said:

"Uphold justice and slay demons and monsters!"

Zhang Zhiwei laughed heartily, put his arm around Zhang Jianxi's neck and said:

"Hahaha, then we'll be together!"

Seeing Zhang Zhiwei's wild behavior, Zhang Jingqing immediately cursed.

Zhang Zhiwei was so frightened that he withdrew his hand.

Zhang Jianxi couldn't help but smile as he watched this scene.
