Shi Feixuan responded with a smile and a nod.
"This woman is as beautiful as a fairy, especially her ethereal and otherworldly aura, which is like that of a celestial being descended to earth."
Wang Xiaofeng saw Shi Feixuan smile and nod at him.
Her face flushed slightly and her heart raced. She quickly clasped her hands in return, and took the opportunity to glance at Shi Feixuan a few more times. She swallowed unconsciously.
Shui Sheng was also amazed by Shi Feixuan's ethereal beauty and murmured in praise, "Sister, you, you are so beautiful, just like a fairy."
Shi Feixuan smiled: "Thank you for your kind words, little sister. You are as beautiful as a snow lotus in a secluded valley, pure and refined..."
Shui Sheng's face suddenly turned awkward, feeling a mixture of joy and shyness.
After Lu Tianshu and the others finished introducing themselves.
All around, a crowd of onlookers had gathered, eager to watch the spectacle.
When they learned the identities of Lu Tianshu and the others.
Exclamations of surprise rippled through the crowd.
"Ah! They are actually the Four Wonders of the South, the most famous group in Yueyang, the southern part of the Great Yuan Empire!"
The four of them are collectively known as "Falling Flowers and Flowing Water," and all possess terrifying combat power at the peak of the Grandmaster realm!
Furthermore, each of them possesses extraordinary martial arts skills; the combined strength of the four would force even a grandmaster to temporarily retreat!
"Ah! It's them! They are all renowned righteous heroes of the Great Yuan Dynasty, who have spent their lives upholding justice and punishing evil. I've heard of their great names for a long time, but it's a pity I've never had the chance to meet them. I never expected to see them today! I'm so excited!"
"Those two young people, a man and a woman, are also quite remarkable; they are among the best of the new generation in the Great Yuan Dynasty."
They are cousins, known as the "Twin Swordsmen," both exceptionally talented and skilled!
Hearing the exclamations and praises coming from all around.
Lu Tianshu, Liu Chengfeng, and Shui Dai remained calm and composed, unperturbed by honor or disgrace.
Hua Tiegan's expression remained calm, but a hint of joy and pride flashed in his eyes.
Wang Xiaofeng was also a little excited. He lowered his head and said to Shui Sheng beside him, "Cousin, I didn't expect our name to be so well-known. People in the Ming Dynasty know about us. It was worth the long journey we took to hunt down the Blood Blade Ancestor."
"Once we slay that lecherous old devil, the fame of our [Sword and Fairy Duo] will rise to even greater heights!"
Hearing Wang Xiaofeng's cheerful voice, Shui Sheng frowned and said seriously, "Cousin, we killed Blood Blade Ancestor because he had committed too many evils and we were eliminating a scourge for the people, not for any reputation."
Wang Xiaofeng paused slightly, feeling somewhat embarrassed. He smiled apologetically and quickly nodded in agreement...
P.S.: When the author wrote about Shui Sheng, she unconsciously added a few more words because Shu Chang's Shui Sheng in the TV series was so beautiful—young, pure, cute, and playful. I was really drawn to her looks when she first debuted... Sorry, I'm a sucker for good looks, woof woof woof...
Chapter 140 Reaping the Rewards: Hua Tiegan Collapses!
The discovery of the identities of the Four Heroes of the South and the Twin Swordsmen of Lingjian caused quite a stir outside Tongfu Inn.
Instantly, even more people gathered to watch the spectacle.
Meanwhile, some people in the crowd were curious as to why they, who lived far away in Yueyang Prefecture of the Great Yuan Dynasty, would travel thousands of miles to the Great Ming Dynasty to find Master Chen.
Nan Siqi didn't intend to hide anything. Shui Dai stepped forward, cupped his hands, and explained the reason to everyone.
It turns out that the Blood Saber Ancestor went south and raped young girls in Yueyang Prefecture, committing all sorts of evil deeds and causing panic and fear among the people of Yueyang Prefecture.
At this time, many people in the martial arts world came to the gates of the Four Wonders of the South, requesting them to take action and punish the notorious Blood Saber Ancestor.
The Four Heroes of the South always considered themselves chivalrous, so naturally they wouldn't refuse.
The four joined forces, along with the Lingjian Duo, and pursued Blood Blade Ancestor all the way.
Blood Blade Ancestor was also at the peak of the Grandmaster realm, with strength comparable to that of one of the Four Wonders of the South. However, he was cunning and treacherous, and his escape skills were exceptional.
The Four Heroes of the South and the Twin Swordsmen of Lingjian chased the Blood Saber Ancestor from the Yuan Dynasty to the border of the Ming Dynasty, but they still failed to capture him.
Furthermore, they lost track of the Blood Saber Ancestor in Qixia Town.
This made the six people both anxious and angry. They felt extremely unwilling and embarrassed to go back empty-handed.
Fortunately, they knew that a wise and omniscient Master Chen lived in Qixia Town.
Therefore, I have come to inquire about the whereabouts of the Blood Blade Ancestor.
After listening to Shui Dai's story.
The people in the surrounding martial arts world all gave the Four Wonders of the South and the Twin Swordsmen of Lingjian a thumbs up.
They were praised for their extraordinary act of pursuing the villains, traveling thousands of miles to achieve their goal, and for being role models for righteous people in the martial arts world.
Shui Dai smiled and was about to respond politely.
Hua Tiegan stepped forward and said loudly, "Gentlemen, upholding justice is the duty of us martial arts practitioners. I, Hua Tiegan, along with my three brothers and two nephews and nieces, will do our duty without hesitation, even at the cost of our lives!"
Hua Tiegan spoke these words with force and righteous indignation.
Instantly, countless people cheered and applauded him with admiration!
Some even call him "Old Hero Hua".
This made Hua Tiegan extremely happy. He secretly sighed, "This trip to hunt down the Blood Saber Ancestor has brought me such a great reputation, and I've even been called an old hero. It's truly worth it..."
At this time.
Footsteps could be heard coming downstairs from inside the fortune-telling shop.
Chen Yan yawned as he went downstairs.
All eyes turned to the fortune-telling shop.
Some exclaimed with delight, "Master Chen knows everything! Hero Hua, if you want to know the whereabouts of the Blood Blade Ancestor, you can't go wrong asking Master Chen..."
"Shopkeeper, they are all customers who were waiting outside this morning."
When Shi Feixuan saw Chen Yan come down, she went up to him and introduced him softly.
Chen Yan nodded and looked at the Four Wonders of the South and the Twin Swordsmen of Lingjian.
He had overheard the situation downstairs while he was upstairs and had all the information.
His gaze lingered briefly on Hua Tiegan and Shui Sheng.
Then, with a smile and a cupped hand, he said, "I'm sorry to have kept you all waiting. Please come in and have a seat. I'll go next door to fill my stomach first, and then I'll come back to officially open for business."
Nan Siqi, Wang Xiaofeng, and Shui Sheng also looked at Chen Yan with a scrutinizing gaze.
They had heard various rumors about Chen Yan before, and they also knew that Wudang, the most powerful martial arts force in their Great Yuan territory, and Ming Cult had both received the favor of Master Chen and held him in high esteem.
He felt both great admiration and curiosity for Chen Yan.
At this time, he met Chen Yan in person.
The four wonders of the south were all startled. Just like Zhang Sanfeng and Yang Xiao before them, they could not detect any true energy aura on Chen Yan's body, and they were greatly shocked.
Wang Xiaofeng was impressed by Chen Yan's outstanding appearance and unrestrained temperament.
I felt a mix of envy and even jealousy.
They were all the same age, and Master Chen was even a few years younger than him. He had been fighting in the martial arts world for so long, and he thought he was already outstanding among his peers.
Now that he has met Chen Yan, he is greatly shocked, and his pride and confidence have been crushed.
Shui Sheng blinked her bright, watery eyes and unconsciously glanced at him a couple more times.
A feeling of amazement suddenly welled up inside me.
Although she wasn't a hopeless romantic, she had to admit that Chen Yan was the most handsome and charismatic man she had ever met since childhood. She felt her cheeks flush slightly and looked away a fraction of an inch.
then.
Something occurred to her, and she became anxious. After clasping her hands in greeting to Chen Yan, she blurted out, "Master Chen, that Blood Blade Ancestor is cunning and treacherous. We are in a great hurry to catch him. Could you please tell us his whereabouts first, and then we can go eat?"
Chen Yan was speechless.
In the original novel, Shui Sheng was a girl who hated evil as much as she could, and I didn't expect her to be even more so when I met her in person.
Before Chen Yan could answer, Hua Tiegan stepped forward, his polite demeanor tinged with a hint of flattery: "Please don't mind, Master Chen. My niece Shui is new to the martial world and doesn't know the rules, let alone yours."
Please go and have a meal first. You can come back and answer our questions after you've eaten and drunk your fill.
Hua Tiegan told him in front of everyone that he didn't know the rules.
Shui Sheng felt a little wronged, pouted, and angrily stomped the ground with the sole of her shoe.
Shui Dai and the others also stepped forward and politely invited Chen Yan to go eat first.
Chen Yan smiled and said, "Nothing is more important than eating."
Everything should be put off until after the meal.
He walked straight toward Tongfu Inn. As he passed Shui Sheng, he saw her sullen face and couldn't help but whisper to her, "Miss Shui, actually delaying the pursuit of Blood Blade Ancestor is a good thing for you. After all, it's better to die later than sooner."
Shui Sheng was stunned.
A pair of dark, clear eyes were filled with surprise and confusion.
Chen Yan smiled.
Without saying anything more, he went next door to eat.
A quarter of an hour later.
Chen Yan returned to the fortune-telling shop and sat down behind the table.
