Chapter 234 Origin Speculation
"Tie Feng, I heard that my second uncle brought back a master wearing a mask. I think his name is Master Shenhuo, right?"
Just as Yin Tianqi and Tong Zhan were discussing the masked man brought back by Tong Yinzhong in Longze Villa, Yin Tianxue and Tong Bo also found the leader of the Iron Guard, Tie Feng, and asked.
Tie Feng was promoted by Yin Tianxue's father Yin Hao.
Even though Yin Hao is "dead" now, for the sake of the overall situation and Yu Jian Villa, Tie Feng has to obey the orders of the second owner Yin Zhong. However, because he is loyal to the first owner Yin Hao, Tie Feng still has some preference for Yin Tianxue, Yin Hao's daughter.
Especially after Yin Hao's son Yin Tianqi gradually revealed his "helpless" character, and after Yin Tianxue slowly revealed that she had been practicing martial arts in private and had reached the top level, Tie Feng's preference for Yin Tianxue became even more obvious.
This world does indeed emphasize etiquette and laws. Male descendants are indeed superior to female descendants in inheritance, and legitimate descendants are far ahead of illegitimate descendants in inheritance.
But in the final analysis, this world is still a world where the strong who practice martial arts and spiritual cultivation are respected.
Male descendants and direct descendants do have advantages in inheriting the family business, but this advantage is limited.
The small gap in ability is a foundation.
Once the ability gap is too large, the male descendants and direct descendants who have advantages in resources and other aspects will not only lag behind the female descendants and illegitimate descendants, but the gap will be quite large.
Then the inheritance rights of the male descendants or direct descendants will inevitably be challenged or even deprived.
After all, when a big power is passed on, one still has to consider how to pass on the inheritance safely while respecting etiquette and not being eccentric.
Especially now that the example of Zhu Chengwu establishing the new dynasty is clearly visible.
All major forces are increasingly placing importance on the abilities of their heirs.
Now the gap between Yin Tianqi and Yin Tianxue is obviously not small.
The hopeless Yin Tianqi is now almost 25 years old, and is still at the top of his game.
However, Yin Tianxue, who is only in his twenties, has already reached the top level.
If the second owner Yin Zhong had not been still around, Tiefeng and his subordinates such as the Tiewei would not have had the chance to express their opinions on the selection of the heir to Yujian Villa. Tiefeng and the Tiewei would have already "crowned the yellow robe" on Yin Tianxue and Tong Bo.
“My dear young lady, my son-in-law, the Second Manor Master did bring back a masked man. According to the Second Manor Master, the masked man is a master, and his name is True Lord of Divine Fire.
The Second Manor Master not only respected him very much, but also placed him in the Second Manor Master's yard, with the room right next to the Second Manor Master's!"
Tie Feng bowed to Yin Tianxue and Tong Bo and replied.
If Tie Feng had some respect for Yin Tianxue because of Yin Hao, the "deceased" great owner of the manor, then Tie Feng's admiration for Tong Bo, his former rival and current son-in-law, was completely out of respect for Tong Bo's personal abilities.
In order to find the whereabouts of his third brother Tong Xin and to deal with Yin Zhong, Tong Bo and Tie Feng, the leader of the Iron Guard of Yu Jian Villa, have fought many times.
Tong Bo's wisdom, martial arts, friendship and other qualities deeply moved Tie Feng, who admired him very much.
If Tie Feng's attitude towards Tong Bo in the past was due to their different positions, it was simply because of his respect and admiration for his opponent.
Now, because Tong Bo is married to Yin Tianxue, Tie Feng's respect and admiration for Tong Bo is that of his future master.
Yes, it is the future master.
In Tiefeng's heart, Tong Bo is the best candidate for the future owner of Yujian Villa.
They are loyal and righteous. Once Tong Bo takes over, he will not be too harsh on his subordinates.
Tong Bo's extraordinary wisdom also enables him to handle the relationship between Yu Jian Villa and the surrounding forces and subordinates very well.
Outstanding martial arts skills are the most important. The 27-year-old Grandmaster is not only strong enough to suppress the strength of Yu Jian Villa, making no one dare to underestimate Yu Jian Villa, but also gives people a lot of room for imagination.
You should know that Zhu Chengwu, the emperor of the new dynasty, was already 28 years old when he achieved the status of a master!
I don't know when it started and where it came from, but now there is a saying circulating in the Xin Dynasty, that is, in order to become a top master (grand master), one must achieve the master level before the age of thirty-five. In order to achieve an achievement similar to that of the Xin Dynasty Emperor Zhu Chengwu and surpass ordinary grand masters, one must achieve the master level before the age of thirty.
And now, my brother-in-law Tong Bo not only achieved the Grandmaster level before the age of thirty, but he even achieved the Grandmaster level one year earlier than the Emperor Zhu Chengwu of the Xin Dynasty.
With Zhu Chengwu's example and real cases around, as long as Tong Bo inherits Yu Jian Villa, who can disrespect Yu Jian Villa? Who dares to disrespect Yu Jian Villa?
With such considerations, it is no wonder that Tie Feng wants Tong Bo to inherit Yu Jian Villa.
After all, for subordinates like Tiefeng and the top management of Yujian Villa, Tiefeng definitely hopes that Yujian Villa will get better and better.
As for the question of whether Yu Jian Villa should be named Yin or Tong after Tong Bo inherits it, Tie Feng said that this is not a question that he, a subordinate, should consider.
And looking at the current situation, the brother-in-law Tong Bo and the eldest lady Yin Tianxue get along very harmoniously and have a good relationship. Does it matter whether the surname of Yu Jian Villa is Tong or Yin?
Anyway, the next generation of heirs to Yu Jian Villa are all children of Tong Bo and Yin Tianxue, and they all have the blood of the Yin family.
In addition, based on Tiefeng's understanding of Tong Bo, even if Tong Bo, a man of loyalty and righteousness who does not care about false reputation, takes control of Yu Jian Villa, he may not necessarily come out in the open.
It is highly likely that Tong Bo will push his wife Yin Tianxue to the position of owner of Yu Jian Villa, and he himself will live in Yu Jian Villa as the owner's husband.
If that were the case, it would be perfect for Tiefeng.
Yu Jian Villa has both face and substance.
"Grandmaster? Lord of Divine Fire? Who is this person?"
Yin Tianxue looked at Tiefeng and asked.
Yin Tianxue has lived in the backyard of Yu Jian Villa since he was a child. Although he has successfully pushed his martial arts skills to the top level by relying on the evil skills he secretly learned from Tong Yin Zhong and his own talents, Yin Tianxue, who seldom goes out, knows very little about the martial arts world.
Even the Grandmaster Yangshen who was once in the Ming Dynasty and is now in the Celestial Empire, Yin Tianxue doesn't know everything about him.
So even though Yin Tianxue didn't know the title of Lord Divine Fire, she didn't find it strange.
He just asked Tiefeng, wanting to find out from Tiefeng the origin and strength of the True Lord of Divine Fire, who was brought in as an external aid by his "Second Uncle" Yin Zhong.
“That’s what I don’t understand!
Based on the information from Yu Jian Villa and my understanding, I have never heard of the person named Lord Shenhuo before!
Whether it was the Ming Dynasty in the past or the Xin Dynasty now, there was no master nicknamed the Divine Fire Lord in the court or in the martial arts world! "
Speaking of this, Tiefeng was also puzzled.
According to the power status of Yu Jian Villa, there shouldn't be any grandmasters in the New Dynasty that Yu Jian Villa doesn't know about.
and many more…
Thinking of this, Tie Feng suddenly remembered something and turned his gaze to Tong Bo who was standing next to Yin Tianxue.
Before Tong Bo showed up, there was no master Tong Bo in the intelligence system and character files of Yu Jian Villa! In front of outsiders, especially in front of everyone in Yu Jian Villa, Tong Bo would never interfere in other people's affairs. He was like an invisible man who could not speak, accompanying Yin Tianxue, and everything was decided by Yin Tianxue.
People ignore him, but they can't ignore him either.
After all, he is an absolutely powerful man with martial arts strength at the grandmaster level!
"You have never heard of the True Lord of Divine Fire. Don't you know the origin of the True Lord of Divine Fire?"
Hearing Tie Feng's reply, Yin Tianxue also frowned.
Known enemies are not scary, unknown enemies are deadly!
However, now that the enemy has appeared and revealed itself, although it is still unknown, there is always a chance that it will become known.
It’s not too fatal!
Just when Yin Tianxue was thinking about how to test the helper invited by her "second uncle" Shenhuo Zhenjun, she suddenly found that Tie Feng on the opposite side turned his gaze to Tong Bo beside her. Immediately, Yin Tianxue also had an idea and turned to look at Tong Bo beside her.
"There is no such person where I live. As far as I know, there is no such person in my family's records!"
Seeing the looks from Tie Feng and Yin Tianxue, Tong Bo instantly understood why they shifted their gazes and said so.
Shuiyue Cave and the Tong family are secrets after all, so Tong Bo used "the place where my home is" and "my home" to refer to them respectively.
"Isn't he from the same hidden family as my uncle?"
Hearing Tong Bo's reply, Tie Feng muttered to himself.
In this case, the clues for tracing the origins of True Lord Shenhuo will be cut off.
"Tong Bo, since there is a place like your home in this world, is there another place similar to your home?"
As soon as Tie Feng finished muttering, Yin Tianxue had already thought of something and asked again.
“I’ve just thought about what you said!
According to my family’s records, this does exist!
But according to my family's records, there are very few such places, no more than the number of hands in the world, and they almost never appear in the world!"
Before Yin Tianxue asked, Tong Bo had already thought of a similar question, and kept reviewing the contents of the bamboo slips he had read in Shuiyue Cave in his mind.
However, although Tong Bo said this, Tong Bo and Yin Tianxue both understood that since the three Tong brothers and the hermits could leave Shuiyue Cave for some reasons, then the other hidden descendants of gods and demons might not necessarily leave their secret places of life for their own reasons.
Moreover, considering Yin Zhong's former identity as a member of the Tong clan and his immortal lifespan, it is not surprising that Yin Zhong knows some descendants of gods and demons like the Tong clan.
Now that he is in trouble, it is reasonable for Yin Zhong to seek help from some familiar descendants of gods and demons.
"Trouble!"
Tong Bo and Yin Tianxue, who had probably determined the identity of the masked man beside Yin Zhong, said in their hearts at the same time.
Tong Bo, who has lived in Shuiyue Cave for more than 20 years, and Yin Tianxue, who has learned many secrets from Tong Bo, both understand the horror of the descendants of gods and demons.
Moreover, since the helper was personally invited by Yin Zhong to deal with the current predicament, his strength can be imagined.
Tong Bo and Yin Tianxue had never expected that after all their planning and hard work, they had finally managed to recover Yin Zhong's old injuries, kill the blood snake that had maintained its condition, and blow up the mercury pool, but such an accident would happen.
As a traitor to the Tong clan and an immortal, Yin Zhong is indeed not so easy to deal with.
"Are you thinking about how to deal with me?"
Just after the iron wind receded, Tong Bo and Yin Tianxue looked at each other in silence, each thinking about how to deal with the masked man Shenhuo Zhenjun who suddenly appeared. Suddenly, a strange voice sounded in Tong Bo and Yin Tianxue's ears.
Although the visitor spoke in a calm and even voice, it was like a depth bomb to Tong Bo and Yin Tianxue's ears.
You have to know that Yin Tianxue is at the top of the first-class level, and Tong Bo is a master. The spiritual perception of both of them is extremely powerful, but now the voice of the person who came is ringing in their ears.
This…
This almost means that as long as the person wants, he can easily launch a sneak attack on Tong Bo and Yin Tianxue.
Such speed, such agility, and such quietness were something that even Yin Zhong, whom they were extremely wary of and had to make many calculations and reduce his combat effectiveness before daring to bring him into Shuiyue Cave, could not do.
But it must be said that Tong Bo and Yin Tianxue are worthy of being the most outstanding members of the Long and Yin families in the past five hundred years.
After the visitor finished speaking, Tong Bo and Yin Tianxue were so frightened and horrified that they could hardly control themselves, but in the end they both managed to control their panic.
After looking at each other, the two of them remained calm on the surface and turned to look behind them where the sound came from.
Tong Bo and Yin Tianxue turned around and saw the masked figure behind them, and said to themselves, "As expected."
However, although they were saying "as expected" in their hearts, neither Tong Bo nor Yin Tianxue showed any expression that they had guessed who was behind them.
"Who are you? Why are you here in my Yujian Villa?
Do you know the strength of my Yujian Villa? Do you know that the second owner of my Yujian Villa, Yin Zhong, is a master? I advise you to leave quickly and don't make mistakes! "
Yin Tianxue was seen looking at the masked man in front of him, questioning and persuading him.
Tong Bo still said nothing, like an invisible man who couldn't speak.
However, his position silently moved closer to Yin Tianxue, and the master's true energy in his body was turned to the extreme, ready to use the Dragon God Art to transform into a divine dragon at any time.
"Ms. Yin Tianxue, why do you have to pretend to be so serious and ask questions when you know the answer?
When I stepped into the gate of Yu Jian Villa, I'm afraid someone came to tell you who I was and who invited me?
Moreover, Miss Yin, your calm behavior now doesn't seem like that of a lady who has lived in her boudoir for a long time!
Or does Miss Yin feel that you and Yin Zhong are now almost playing an open hand, and are only maintaining a superficial peace, so you don't need to maintain your image as a reclusive lady in front of me, Yin Zhong's helper?"
Looking at Yin Tianxue, who was panicking but looking calm, Zhu Chengwu ignored her questioning and Tong Bo's vigilance. He walked past her and Tong Bo, walked to the table nearby, picked up the teapot on the table, and poured himself a cup of tea.
While walking around and pouring tea, Zhu Chengwu said the above words in a flat tone.
"Snow Mountain Flower Tea? Not bad! Yu Jian Villa is indeed a treasure!"
After Zhu Chengwu finished speaking, he took a sip of tea and said so.
Although Zhu Chengwu was an ordinary person in his previous life, in this life, Zhu Chengwu was born into a noble family.
Therefore, Zhu Chengwu is no stranger to some good things in this world.
Coupled with the Supreme Grand Master's super perception and extraordinary memory, Zhu Chengwu can remember and perceive many things as long as he wants.
