Hearing this. Sun Wuji turned around and asked, “Where is your hometown in Liang Province?”
“Red River Town. It’s only dozens of kilometers away from the border. There are only two thousand people in the town, so it’s considered an unknown town.”
“I’ve never been to the town, but i passed by the Red River once when I was young. The river water was knee-deep and full of small fish. After Zheng Feng disappeared from Jun Mountain Terrace, did he live there in seclusion?”
“Yes. He opened a small escort agency. He picked me up during an escort mission and raised me to an adult. Back then, when I was in Red River Town, there was a teahouse in the town, and there were often people talking about the matters of Jianghu. When I was young, I even heard your stories, Senior Sun. Hmm… You had a fierce horse, a blue sword, and a beauty. You didn’t admire nobles or envy immortals. You were extremely carefree. When I heard the stories, I wanted to learn the sword…” free webnov el.com
Sun Wuji sized up Ye Jingtang from the corner of his eye. He felt that Ye Jingtang really didn’t look like a spy from Northern Liang, so he didn’t ask further. He only smiled lightly. “That was indeed the case when I was young. But now, my horse is old, I’m old, my beauty has passed away before me. Now, I’m envious of immortals. If I had been more utilitarian when I was young and sought the path of longevity instead of being willful in Jianghu, how could I sit here when I’m old? No matter how open-minded people are about life and death, they still want the people around them to walk behind them…”
Ye Jingtang had never heard any stories about Sun Wuji’s bitterness and hatred. He had descendants, so Ye Jingtang guessed that his wife had passed away. But it wasn’t appropriate to ask about these things. He only nodded and asked, “Have you been here before?”
Sun Wuji looked at the dark blue river and thought for a moment. “When 1 was your age, I left the mountain to travel Jianghu and came to Yun’an. At the time, it was still Great Yan. The last Yan emperor had just succeeded to the throne, and Feng Guancheng was only in his forties. He lived near White Lion Bridge.
“At the time, Feng Guancheng was already publicly recognized as the number one in the world. Countless people from Jianghu came here to see him. The bridge was full from morning to night. I was seventeen or eighteen years old and had yet to master my sword technique. 1 had a straightforward personality and didn’t have any Jianghu friends. I didn’t want to squeeze into the crowd, so I stayed under the bridge alone and waited to see Feng Guancheng.
“In the end, Feng Guancheng didn’t come. Instead, a young heroine who wasn’t good at martial arts stood on the railing above to watch the excitement. She lost her footing and fell.
“I caught her easily, bur I ended up holding the wrong place. I fell head-first, and it took a lifetime of hard work to repay this debt…”
When Sun Wuji said this, even though his temperament was as sharp as a sword, there was still a hint of nostalgia in his eyes.
Ye Jingtang looked up and smiled. “A similar thing happened to me. I just came to the capital and rented a dilapidated small courtyard on Double Osmanthus Alley. On the second day, a pair of heroines broke in…”
“A pair?”
“A master and a disciple. They claimed that 1 occupied their lair. Fortunately, I had the house deed…”
“Did you kick them out?”
“I wanted to chase them away, but I didn’t. In the end, I can’t explain it clearly. Hehe…11
Sun Wuji sneered and didn’t gossip too much. He only sighed and said, “This is what’s interesting about Jianghu. You don’t know what kind of people you’ll meet tomorrow and what kind of wine you’ll drink. But some people are greedy. When they meet a good person, they think that they can meet a better one tomorrow. But in the end, after missing this person, they will regret it for the rest of their lives. There aren’t many people like me who can return to old places to reminisce about the past before they die. There are very few people who have nostalgia but no regrets.
“Kid, you have to cherish the people in front of you. For the sake of fame and fortune, if you become a heartless person, even if you become the number one in the world in the future or even become a king or emperor, all that’s left is regrets… Huh? Coming…”
Ye Jingtang was listening to Sun Wuji sigh about life when he suddenly noticed the sage-like Hero Sun sit up a little straighter, his eyes burning.
Ye Jingtang was startled. He thought that some peerless expert had come. But in the end, he found that Sword Saint Sun was holding the fishing rod with both hands and concentrating on fishing.
“Chirp?” The bird was stunned for a moment. Then it hurriedly lay on the bow of the boat and looked into the water. It even chirped to give orders.
Ye Jingtang was speechless. He was afraid of scaring the fish away, so he didn’t dare to disturb them. It wasn’t until Sun Wuji pulled up a palm-long white fish that he started talking about teaching Dumdum swordsmanship.
Sun Wuji no longer pursued the sword in his hand, so he naturally didn’t mind imparting swordsmanship.
Ye Jingtang chatted for a while more about Jianghu before bidding farewell and leaving with the satisfied bird… fre ewebno vel.com
Clack, clack..
A horse passed through the prosperous riverbank. It didn’t take long for it to follow the river and arrive near Heavenly Water Bridge.
Ye Jingtang was riding on the horse while the bird was holding a small fish with its claws and flying in front of him. Along the way, it muttered, “Chirp chirp…” It was probably talking about Old Man Sun’s poor fishing skills.
The autumn weather was cool, and there were many people on Heavenly Water Bridge in the afternoon.
Ye Jingtang was a Martial Chief and had been conferred a noble title by the Imperial Court. Nowadays, he was quite famous. All the neighbors knew him. As long as he passed by on the street, people would definitely surround him and greet him.
Ye Jingtang was used to being free in Jianghu. He could only try his best to avoid these compliments and return to the Pei residence from the sparsely populated back alley.
But riding his horse through the limestone alley, he found a young girl standing in the alley before he reached the back door.
The young girl was wearing a light blue rtiqun, and her hair was tied up in an unmarried style. Her spirited face had slowly lost its childishness and was waiting to bloom, giving her slightly more brightness and beauty.
Although her dress was very scholarly, the young lady’s temperament and bearing were not ar all in line with those of a scholarly family. Her upper body was leaning against the wall, and she was holding a brown scabbard with a saber in her arms. She even had a candied hawthorn stick in her mouth. She looked full of a Jianghu air.
The age of 15 or 16 was when girls developed the fastest. In the capital, she ate and drank well every day. Zhe Yunli had changed very quickly in rhe past few months. The areas that shouldn’t gain weight hadn’t changed, but the areas that should gain weight had indeed gained some. From the side, the bulging front of her dress could actually clamp the saber, and she was obviously taller,.
