Martialism

Chapter 13

Nangong Le looked pale as he walked on the streets. Although Reverend Ling Kongquan wanted to support him but Nangong Le refused.

Reverend Ling Kongquan was surprised that Nangong Le could continue walking with great dignity despite his broken ribs.

He asked, “Are you really okay?”

Nangong Le smiled bitterly, “What do you think?”

Reverend Ling Kongquan smiled awkwardly, “You can really smile. I have heard that you have been practicing the Rejoicing Divine Skill for over ten years now. It was indeed the most outstanding inner martial skill.”

Actually Nangong Le felt very uneasy and miserable right now. But he must maintain his delicate attitude and dignity before the congregation. He did not want his enemies and opponents to know that he was injured.

Suddenly, Nangong Le began to increase his walking speed which greatly shocked Reverend Ling Kongquan. It was as if his wound had suddenly disappeared!

Nangong Le was heading towards a handsome young man and an alluring beautiful woman in white clothes. In fact, it seemed like the entire street was also looking towards them!

A handsome young man with a charismatic aura with a white long sword walked down the street. If anyone saw his face, his face seemed to glow and not be tarnished by hatred. He is pleasant to look at and makes everyone remember that there is still truth and goodness in the world.

As for the alluring girl who was beside him, like a fairy girl who had descended into the mortal realm. She's so beautiful and graceful. Even though he was extremely pale and white, he was filled with vitality. His smile was incredible and piercing, everyone immediately thought he was friendly and familiar, an illusion that caused everyone to think that he alone was smiling and friendly to them alone.

They were indeed Yi Ping and Ji Lingfeng.

When Yi Tianxing left the valley to visit the grave of his late wife Shui Yichi, he warned them not to look for Gongsun Bai and instead spent time training hard on their martial skills until he returned.

Yi Ping and Ji Lingfeng knew that she would be gone for at least six months.

So when Ji Lingfeng said to him, “In a few days, there will be a big meeting organized by Gongsun Bai himself. With so many people, there was no better time than this to sneak into Gongsun Manor amidst the confusion. Moreover, we can take the opportunity to humiliate him in front of the heroes of the martial fraternity.”

She asked him, “How do you know and what is your purpose of going there?”

He said, “I already knew it three months ago. Moreover, this meeting was not a secret and almost everyone in the brotherhood knew it. I wanted to attend the meeting and if possible, bother him. However I acted alone because my brother did not approve of it. The orthodox boxers will probably fight for leadership and this is an excellent opportunity for me to witness their martial skills so that I can warn my brother beforehand.”

With that thought, they immediately set off for Gongsun Manor.

He turned to ask her in a low voice, “You said that today is the day the Gongsun Clan will host a large congregation that invites the majority of orthodox fraternities. And this was the best time to infiltrate the Gongsun Clan's residence, and to kill Gongsun Bai. Why is it that once we enter the city, we seem to be watched? Do they already know our plans or because they know who you are?”

Ji Lingfeng smiled and said lovingly, “I have never walked in the martial fraternity before. No one has ever seen or heard of me. Look at you, being nervous even before we're there. Honestly, we... “

Yi Ping growled softly, “You are the one who said that there will be confusion with so many people and there is no better chance of sneaking in than this.”

Ji Lingfeng smiled at him lovingly, “I think we might be able to sneak into Gongsun Manor but look at all the attention we get. Now I don't think it's possible now.”

Yi Ping asked, “Then how?”

Ji Lingfeng said, “We just need to try our luck and look for opportunities.”

Suddenly, Yi Ping stopped his steps. It was because he suddenly saw a delicate man approaching him. Behind him was a middle-aged priest in his fifties.

The delicate man bowed respectfully with his hand and asked, “I'm sorry for interrupting. Will you go to Gongsun Manor as well?”

Although he bowed respectfully, his eyes never left Ji Lingfeng.

Yi Ping was frank and he replied without hesitation, “That's right.”

Perhaps the refined man felt that he was not recognized or looked upon well by Yi Ping and Ji Lingfeng, so he quickly said, “Ooh, what a coincidence! I too, will go there."

"I, Nangong Le, love to be friends from all fraternities. May I have the honor of knowing your name and this girl?”

Who has not heard of Nangong Le the Joyous from the Nangong Aristocratic Clan? He was one of the four most influential and famous young masters of the martial fraternity and was destined for greater things in the future. Among the four young masters of the martial fraternity, he was said to be the richest and his wealth rivaled the imperial treasury.

Nangong Le pointed at Reverend Ling Kongquan and said, “This is Pastor Ling Kongquan. He is the leading elder of the Quiet City.”

Reverend Ling Kongquan was surprised at how excited Nangong Le was. Just a moment ago, he looked extremely pale and weak. He sighed to himself, “Will he get the nickname Nangong Le the Joyous?”

Yi Ping simply said, “I'm Yi Ping.” He did not introduce Ji Lingfeng or seemed interested in the conversation.

Nangong Le was a little surprised. Usually when he announced his name, everyone would try to flatter him and get acquainted with him. But this young man did not seem interested.

Nangong Le awkwardly said, “The young hero must be someone from a famous clan or an established orthodox clan to be invited to Gongsun Manor. May I have the honor to know your illustrious background?”

Ji Lingfeng smiled and said, “My male sister, Yi Ping is the son of Yi Tianxing. We do not have any invitation from the Gongsun Clan. But since Gongsun Bai is the adoptive brother of our teacher, we thought of paying for his visit. That's it.”

Nangong Le was surprised that Yi Ping was the son of the Great Hero Yi Tianxing who seemed to have disappeared from the martial fraternity twenty-five years ago. Its exploits are numerous and to this day, it is often touted by many. He was even more surprised that this girl took the initiative to talk to him.

So he thought, “Is he also interested in me? That's so good! So she was the elder sister of Yi Ping's protege. This was definitely their first time traveling in a fraternity. They seem to be less careful.”

So he said kindly, “I have heard about the exploits of the Great Hero Yi Tianxing. All my life, I have only admired him!”

When he realized that Yi Ping eyes had shone, he quickly added, “Today I can get acquainted with his descendants, I am very honored! If I was born twenty years early, I might have a chance to get acquainted with this legendary hero .. Darling!”

Yi Ping said respectfully, “My father will be happy to know that!”

Even Reverend Ling Kongquan had heard of the famous Yi Tianxing and he quickly said, “Young hero, you are the son of Great Hero Yi? I am Pastor Ling Kongquan. I am happy to make friends and if the young hero does not feel I am unworthy. , we can also make friends.”

Yi Ping quickly said, “Quiet City is a famous clan in the fraternity. It is my honor to get acquainted with you instead.”

Ling Kongquan smiled and said, “It was my honor too. Is your father okay? The martial fraternity has long not heard of him.”

Ling Kongquan said, “I'm not a nosy parking attendant. If it is uncomfortable for Young Hero Yi to share, I understand.”

Ling Kongquan could feel his sadness but he kept it to himself.

As for the girl he was with, he had never seen anyone as beautiful as him. Although the twin sisters were extremely beautiful, they were ice-cold. It was their coldness that reduced their attraction to him. But the person of this girl, from the way of smiling happily as they spoke. It was as if he was a close friend who paid close attention to them.

Nangong Le said, “You should definitely come with me so that I can have the honor of being friends with you. Since Brother Yi has no invitation and I have one, I can easily invite you as my entourage and take you to Gongsun Manor! “

Yi Ping was surprised by his generosity, “Brother Nangong, you are too kind to me. I apologize for my previous rudeness!”

When Yi Ping found out that Nangong Le was an admirer of his father, his attitude towards him changed and he started to think of him as a friend!

Ji Lingfeng sighed in her heart, “She is very gullible! This Nangong Le is watching me. He may have cheated Yi Ping but he cannot fool me.”

Indeed, Nangong Le quickly said, “I forgot to ask your protege's older sister's name?”

Yi Ping replied, “Name Lingfeng.”

Ji Lingfeng glanced at him sharply but in the blink of an eye then she smiled again.

He almost fainted from disbelief! How could he give his name to such a person? Typically, when boxers explore the fraternity, they will use the brotherhood's name to hide their clan of origin or identity.

It was not that Yi Ping did not know the training of this boxer let alone with such a dubious background as Girl Ji. But when he deliberately introduces her as the younger brother of his protege and even reveals the name of his father, he, he was not too happy about it even though he knew that he was trying to get an invitation from Nangong Le to enter the Gongsun Manor.

He did not wish to utilize anyone to enter Gongsun Manor. Even if he had to barge into Gongsun Manor to deal with Gongsun Bai, he would.

Nangong Le said to Ji Lingfeng, “A very enchanting name! I've never seen anyone as beautiful as you. May I know if the girl is married?”

Ji Lingfeng said, “Although I want to but unfortunately I am not.”

Nangong Le pretended to be disappointed and said, “Why is that so? With your amazing beauty, I can imagine you must have a lot of fans and admirers?”

Ji Lingfeng sighed and she was instantly sad, “I hate to mention this, but none of my suitors lived long enough for us to begin with. They all died in an accident after they sent an engagement gift. It's like a deadly curse to me.”

His sad face caused everyone to feel sad as well. It was as if his emotions could affect everyone and the first thought was to comfort him.

Nangong Le was secretly happy that she was still unmarried and she said, “Even if there is a curse, it is my privilege to die for you.”

Ji Lingfeng smiled alluringly, “We just met, yet you are willing to die for me?”

Nangong Le laughs, “What I say is the truth!”

Suddenly, Yi Ping could feel a seething jealousy in his heart. She gritted her teeth and thought, “Girl Ji has the right to choose her suitor. I can't stop him. Moreover, my first priority is to avenge my parents and Yixian! Moreover, Nangong Le is rich and fits him .. “

Yi Ping mind was interrupted when Nangong Lei said, “Sister Yi. Then let's finish it. We will go to Gongsun Manor together! I am sure to be given a good sitting position in the hall!”

Yi Ping bowed with his hand and said, “Let's go!”

Reverend Ling Kongquan whispered, “Brother Nangong, are you sure that in your current state, you can still go to Gongsun Manor?”

Nangong Le laughed at him, “Did I look like I was hurt to you?”

Yi Ping asked, “Brother Nangong, are you injured?”

Ji Lingfeng looked worried at the same time as she asked, “You got hurt?”

Nangong Le said, “Before I had a fight with someone. It was just a small wrinkle and I had a minor injury.”

Ji Lingfeng smiled, “For someone who fought with the famous Young Master Nangong of the fame of the Four Martial Young Masters, his injuries may be worse.”

Nangong Le laughed cheerfully, “Of course, of course! This is a one-sided win for me!”

Reverend Ling Kongquan could not believe his ears as he sighed deeply, “He did anything to impress ..”

When he saw Nangong Le again, he again chatted cheerfully with Maiden Lingfeng and Yi Ping.

The Gongsun Manor was no ordinary residence. It was located in the middle of the city and surrounded by high walls. It was more like a fortress and there was a large moat at the entrance.

The Gongsun clan ruled this city. The city has been built by the Gongsun Clan for centuries. Most of the people in the city were actually related to the Gongsun Clan.

There were guards everywhere, from the stairs of Gongsun Manor and up the castle walls.

Since Yi Ping and Ji Lingfeng were guests of Nangong Le, they managed to pass through the Gongsun Manor gate without any difficulty.

As they passed through the gate and entered the manor, one of the guards said to the others, “Nangong Le it is really something. I have never seen such a beautiful girl in my life and probably never will. And it is said that wherever she goes, she will always be accompanied by beautiful women. Now I really believe!”

Another guard said, “Look at us. When we saw the girl, we actually forgot to note the guest name of Young Master Nangong Le.”

The waiter also sighed, “I have also forgotten about it. I can recognize Pastor Ling Kongquan. As for the young man and the young girl, I do not know.”

The first guard who spoke earlier said, “Surely, the guests of Nangong Le will not be troublemakers and no one comes from an unorthodox clan. Let's close our eyes and forget it. There are still many guests waiting.”

The waiter nodded and gestured for the next group of guests to be brought in.
