Chapter 60 First Hearing of Dog Brother
Chapter 60 First Hearing of Dog Brother
After Shi Zhongyu and her fellow disciples received the items, they took out a few more things.
"Mother-in-law, on this trip to the Western Regions, I found some rare local items along the way."
"This piece of black jade can be held in the palm of one's hand to calm the mind and nourish the spirit. This fox fur cloak is perfect for blocking the wind in the mountains during winter. There is also the clear tea and mead from the desert, which can be enjoyed in leisure time to relieve fatigue."
Shi Xiaocui smiled when she saw what Shi Zhongyu handed her.
She accepted it solemnly.
"Young Stone, you've put your heart into this."
She could tell from these items that Shi Zhongyu had specially selected them.
Shi Xiaocui put the things away and then grabbed Shi Zhongyu's hand.
"Come on, let's go have some tea with Grandma, and tell her about what happened on your journey."
She had heard about what Shi Zhongyu had done outside, but hearing was just hearing; it was much better than hearing it from him in person.
Inside the tea room, Shi Zhongyu drank the tea brewed by his mother-in-law and recounted all the things he had encountered on his journey.
Bai Axiu, who was standing to the side, listened to her senior brother's story with sparkling eyes.
Bai Axiu longed for the outside world of martial arts.
Shi Xiaocui listened quietly; she had long been familiar with the world of martial arts.
After Shi Zhongyu finished speaking, she said with a smile, "Young Shi, I've had someone prepare a separate courtyard for you in the City Lord's Mansion."
"You can live in that courtyard from now on; it's close to Grandma's place!"
Shi Zhongyu readily agreed.
"Ah Xiu, take Shi Xiaozi to take a look, and see if there's anything else we need to buy!"
"Okay, okay!"
Bai Axiu took Shi Zhongyu to the neighboring Green Pine Courtyard.
In addition to the small courtyard, Granny Shi also arranged several maids for him to serve his daily life.
In the days that followed, Shi Zhongyu did not visit anyone else.
He originally intended to visit his grandmaster, but upon hearing that his grandmaster was still in seclusion practicing martial arts, he abandoned his plan to visit.
Bai Axiu explained why her grandfather had gone into seclusion.
"My grandfather is afraid you'll catch up with him!"
Upon hearing this, Shi Zhongyu felt that Bai Zizai was capable of doing such a thing.
However, even if Bai Zizai were to go into seclusion again, it would probably be of no use.
His internal strength had long surpassed that of his grandmaster; the only thing he lacked was probably his other martial arts skills.
He then used the remaining time to practice his other martial arts skills.
Two months have passed in the blink of an eye.
On this day, Shi Zhongyu was practicing his palm techniques when he heard hurried footsteps approaching.
He turned around and saw his Uncle Hua walking quickly towards him, followed by his master.
"Little Stone, so you live in Green Pine Courtyard!"
"Uncle-Master!"
After Shi Zhongyu finished his practice and called out, he bowed to his master.
Hua Wanzi patted Shi Zhongyu on the shoulder.
"Alright, we're family, no need for such formalities."
Shi Zhongyu smiled and instructed a maidservant nearby to prepare some tea.
He then led his uncle and master to the reception room.
Shi Zhongyu served tea to his master and Uncle Hua, and then asked them how they had handled those matters.
Feng Wanli didn't say much; Hua Wanzi was responsible for narrating everything.
She spoke animatedly about how she handled things, saying that everyone treated her with utmost respect and dared not show her any disrespect.
After Hua Wanzi finished explaining what she had done, Shi Zhongyu refilled their teacups.
"Thank you for your hard work, Master and Uncle."
"This isn't hard work at all!"
Hua Wanzi waved her hand, saying that she and her senior brother were already very adept at handling these matters.
As Hua Wanzi spoke, she inquired about Shi Zhongyu's martial arts skills.
"Young Shi, just how good are your martial arts skills?"
Shi Zhongyu smiled and extended his hand.
Hua Wanzi immediately understood Shi Zhongyu's meaning. When she reached out to sense Shi Zhongyu's skill, she exclaimed in astonishment, "Your skill is probably no less than Xie Yanke's!"
Even though Feng Wanli knew that Shi Zhongyu's martial arts skills were no longer what they used to be, a hint of surprise still flashed in his eyes.
They had personally experienced Xie Yanke's martial arts skills, and it was safe to say that even if he and his fellow disciples joined forces, they could not defeat Xie Yanke.
Upon hearing the name Xie Yanke, Shi Zhongyu was reminded of his younger brother, Shi Potian.
So he took the initiative to ask, "Uncle-Master, did you encounter Xie Yanke?"
"certainly……"
Hua Wanzi then recounted everything that had happened to her.
After Shi Zhongyu heard the story of a beggar boy who obtained the Xuan Tie Token and was taken away by Xie Yanke,
He knew then that his younger brother's legendary journey had begun.
but……
Shi Zhongyu suddenly remembered that the original owner of the body had gone down the mountain and entered the Chang Le Gang as the gang leader under the alias Shi Potian.
Later, the original owner of the body escaped, and the people of Chang Le Gang eventually found Shi Zhongjian, who looked exactly like him, to be their leader.
Now that he hasn't joined the Chang Le Gang, does his younger brother still have a chance to become the gang leader?
After thinking about it for a moment, Shi Zhongyu stopped thinking about it.
This matter is not his concern for the time being; he'll deal with it when he meets Shi Zhongjian later.
Hua Wanzi was unaware of Shi Zhongyu's thoughts. As she spoke, she looked at Shi Zhongyu's appearance and suddenly said, "Oh, by the way, that little beggar's appearance does resemble yours somewhat."
Shi Zhongyu smiled.
"Maybe we're destined to be together!"
Hua Wanzi laughed heartily.
"You are the son of the Black and White Heroes, and more importantly, the future leader of our Snow Mountain Sect!"
"That kid is just a beggar. So what if he gets Xie Yanke's Xuan Tie Token?"
"He can't compare to you."
Shi Zhongyu smiled.
You might think you can't compare now, but that might change in the future.
Shi Zhongyu was thinking about going to Xia Ke Island, and perhaps he should start making some plans now.
For example, becoming a leader?
Bai Zizai is not dead yet, nor has he abdicated.
No, Shi Zhongyu shook his head.
He doesn't want to be the leader.
Once the ship from Xia Ke Dao arrives, who will dare to stop him from boarding it forcefully?
If he can't even beat Zhang San or Li Si a few years later, he won't need to go to the island anymore.
but……
When Zhang San and Li Si arrive, he might be able to take advantage of them.
Zhang San and Li Si possess criminal records of some members of certain sects.
In his view, many sects definitely have spies planted by Xia Ke Island.
Perhaps their status and position are not low.
Otherwise, how would the people of Xia Ke Dao know the detailed information about each sect?
However, what Zhang San and Li Si know is ultimately only known to Zhang San and Li Si.
He wanted to personally obtain this information so that he could openly and legitimately punish the wicked.
He was definitely not trying to absorb other people's internal energy.
"Master, Uncle-Master, I need your help with some things!"
Shi Zhongyu turned his attention to his master and his uncle.
Feng Wanli's eyes flickered slightly, and he said in a deep voice, "Speak!"
Shi Zhongyu directly stated his thoughts.
After listening, Hua Wanzi frowned.
The Snow Mountain Sect simply couldn't possibly keep track of the information about everyone in every sect!
She looked at Feng Wanli, who also wore a bitter smile.
This apprentice thinks too highly of them, doesn't he?
