Vol. 1 - Chapter 33 - Conditions for Succession
After saying that, Hong Jinlei led the six people who passed the test and walked into Tieque Villa. After the remaining warriors looked at each other, some of them followed and walked into Tieque Villa. Even if they were not qualified, they wanted to see who would inherit Qing Xuzi's mantle in the end! That was a martial arts legend twenty years ago. The person he chose must be extraordinary. The little blind boy followed the crowd to Tieque Villa, holding a wooden stick in his hand, poking the ground while muttering softly: "You are really disloyal and left your brothers here." "Oh? Am I a disloyal person in Brother Tian's mind?" A familiar voice came from the side. The little blind boy was immediately delighted and smiled: "Master Hua, your Qinggong is so awesome!" Chen Ye's figure appeared next to the little blind boy. The surrounding warriors were all startled and looked at Chen Ye in shock. They looked behind Hong Jinlei and then at Chen Ye, their eyes full of shock. This man's Qinggong is so amazing! In an instant, he appeared more than ten feet away! "Let's go, aren't you looking for someone? If nothing unexpected happens, the person you're looking for is among the six of us." Chen Ye put one hand on the little blind boy's shoulder, took a step forward, and the skill ‘Ground Shrinking Step’ was activated. Chen Ye let go of the little blind boy's shoulder. "Huh? What's wrong?" The little blind boy felt that Chen Ye had just put his hand on his shoulder and let it go in a second. "What's wrong?" Chen Ye said in confusion: "Let's go, you're already in." The little blind boy was stunned on the spot, his mouth wide open, unbelievable. "Master Hua's qinggong is probably not inferior to the Smiling Cat Xu Xiaolin!" Master Huoyun on the side said with vigilance and envy in his eyes. This envy is envy of Chen Ye's superb qinggong, and vigilance is because Chen Ye will be a competitor in a while! The little blind boy heard Master Huoyun's voice close at hand, and then he realized that he really came in. And he was following behind Hong Jinlei! "My... my ancestor!" The little blind boy was stunned and stuttered when he spoke. What is the origin of this Master Hua whom he met on the road?! Yesterday, he was led by Chen Ye to avoid Xu Xiaolin's attack. Because he couldn't see, he didn't know that Chen Ye could cross thirty feet in an instant. Today, Chen Ye took him into Tieque Villa, which can really be described as "divine skills". "Master, Master, my luck is really amazing!" The little blind boy followed Chen Ye and sighed. Hong Jinlei led six people into Tieque Villa. The building placed in the courtyard attracted Chen Ye's attention. It was a two-meter-high iron sparrow. "I saw a two-meter-high iron sparrow, is there any explanation?" Chen Ye asked the little blind boy in a low voice. "This Iron Sparrow is the origin of the Tieque Villa, and it is related to another owner of the villa." The little blind boy lowered his voice, paused for a moment, as if he had some reservations, and said: "In short, this is a symbol of status. If you want to know, I will tell you later." Master Huoyun beside him couldn't help laughing and said: "This is not something that cannot be said." "Everyone in the martial arts world knows that Tieque married Qing Xuzi, and the two of them retired from the martial arts world together and no longer asked about the affairs of the martial arts world." "The Iron Sparrow is just placed in the Tieque Villa as a memory of the past." "Little brother, you are too cautious. Senior Hong will not take action against us just because we discussed the beginning and end of the Tieque Villa." Master Huoyun glanced at the little blind boy lightly. The little blind boy did not speak, but just snorted and murmured softly: "What do you know?" Chen Ye looked at the two-meter-high Iron Sparrow statue. He didn't expect there was such a story behind it. He heard the storyteller say that Qing Xuzi and his friends founded the Tieque Villa and no longer asked about the affairs of the martial arts world. He didn't say that this "Tieque" married Qing Xuzi. Seeing that the little blind boy didn't speak and his face was stern, Chen Ye realized that he might know some inside information and didn't want to say it in front of others. Soon, Hong Jinlei led everyone to the reception hall of Tieque Villa. A large number of martial artists followed behind him and they followed in. "Master!" Hong Jinlei stood in front of the reception hall with the door closed and shouted loudly. "Guests from afar, please come in." A gentle middle-aged voice came from the reception hall. "Hua..." A gust of wind sounded, and the door of the reception hall was pushed open out of thin air by someone's internal force. Everyone also saw the scene in the reception hall. … In the extremely wide hall. A middle-aged man in brocade clothes sat on the main seat. The man had an elegant face, a long black beard on his chin, slightly deep eyes, and a light temperament, like an immortal who was not stained by dust. From the facial features, it can be seen that the other party must have been very handsome when he was young. Hong Jinlei walked in, clasped his fists respectfully and said, "Master!" "Yes." Zhang Zhiling responded and looked at the six people who had passed the test behind him. He looked at everyone's faces calmly, and at the same time took in their reactions. Kunlun Sect’s Liu Kaiyun looked at Zhang Zhiling and subconsciously looked away, as if he was a little nervous facing him. Wanjin Hall’s Master Huoyun looked directly at Zhang Zhiling and smiled lightly. Qiong Aohai had a serious face, his eyes, sharp like a blade, seemed to pierce through the martial arts legend from twenty years ago. Xie Fei, the Guandong Swordsman, had a calm look in his eyes, as if even a landslide would not cause him any emotional fluctuations. The only first-class master, Peng Tong, the Shanxi Tiger Dwarf, gritted his teeth and met Zhang Zhiling's gaze, worried that it would cause Zhang Zhiling's dissatisfaction. Zhang Zhiling just glanced at him and stopped paying attention. Chen Ye looked at Zhang Zhiling with a calm look and a hint of curiosity. After seeing this, Chen Ye was a little disappointed. This martial arts legend from twenty years ago, except for his unworldly temperament, looked no different from an ordinary middle-aged man. This made Chen Ye a little disappointed. Come to think of it, we are all human beings, with one head, two arms and two legs. No matter how famous the name is, we are still human beings after all. Zhang Zhiling's eyes fell on Chen Ye, as if he noticed something, a flash of astonishment crossed his eyes, and then turned into a flash of excitement. No one noticed this. Zhang Zhiling withdrew his gaze from the six people and looked outside the reception hall. He said in a gentle voice: "Friends outside, come in too." The warriors surrounding the reception hall looked at each other and bravely entered the reception hall. However, although the reception hall is large, it still cannot accommodate too many people. There were still many warriors standing outside. Zhang Zhiling stretched out his hand and said, "Take a seat." Hong Jinlei gestured to the six people to sit on the seats prepared on both sides of the reception hall. The little blind boy stopped before Chen Ye entered the door, and now stood on both sides of the reception hall like other warriors. Zhang Zhiling retracted his gaze and said lightly: "I know very well what the six of you are here for." "If you want to become my, that is, Zhang Zhiling’s successor, the conditions are very simple." "All six of you can do it." As soon as these words came out, everyone's breathing became rapid. Master Huoyun of Wanjin Hall said: "Senior Zhang, I wonder what the conditions are?" He asked the question of everyone present. Zhang Zhiling's eyes paused on Master Huoyun for a moment, and slowly said: "You just need to dissolve your internal strength." n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om
TL Notes: Tieque: Iron Sparrow. Yuyu: Woah, that’s practically asking them to lose their cultivation and start again from the beginning. No one can make that decision lightly. Exciting!
