Chapter 296 Old Friend 1
Xin Zhen smiled when he heard this and said, "I can't say I'm a peerless master, but I do have some skills."
Wanyan Ping looked at Xin Zhen expectantly and asked, "Can you defeat Yelu Qi?"
Xin Zhen smiled and said, "One move."
Wanyan Ping was skeptical when she heard this. She had fought with Yelu Qi three times and was defeated miserably every time. In her opinion, Yelu Qi's martial arts skills were already top-notch in the world, so how could he be defeated by just one move?
Xin Zhen certainly didn't need Wanyan Ping to believe him, so he smiled and said, "What are you waiting for me for?"
Wanyan Ping said: "I want revenge, I want to kill Yelu Chucai, but I am not good at martial arts, I want to take you as my teacher."
Xin Zhen shook his head and said, "You are not qualified to be my disciple. Whether it is talent or goal, you are not a good choice. Well, let's say goodbye."
Having said this, Xin Zhen was about to set off.
Wanyan Ping said sadly: "Since you are unwilling to help me, why do you want to stop me from committing suicide? Since you saved me, why don't you lend a hand again?"
Xin Zhen thought for a moment and said, "Saving you is just a matter of convenience, but there is no reason for me to extend my help again. You and I are not related at all, we just met by chance. Why should I help you?"
Wanyan Ping gritted her teeth and said, "If you are willing to help me, I will be your slave and serve you tea, water and warm your bed in the future!"
Xin Zhen shook his head and said with a smile: "Why do you have to belittle yourself? You and Yelu Chucai are not personal enemies, but national hatred. It is not against the lord to seek revenge on him..."
Xin Zhen suddenly had an idea and said, "...In fact, the one you hate is not Yelu Chucai, but Mongolia, right?
But you don't know who to attack, so you have no choice but to target Yelu Chucai, the fallen Minister of the Central Secretariat?"
Wanyan Ping said: "When the Jin Dynasty was destroyed, Yelu Chucai was in power, so I naturally wanted to find him."
Xin Zhen shook his head and said, "That's not right. In fact, your enemy should be the entire Mongolia."
Wanyan Ping was suddenly confused and said, "I can't even punish a downtrodden man like Yelu Chucai, so how can I possibly handle the entire Mongolia?"
Xin Zhen smiled and said, "Wanyan Ping, if you are willing to join me in fighting against the Mongols, I will accept you as my disciple. What do you think? But don't do stupid things like taking revenge on Yelu Chucai."
Wanyan Ping bit her lip and stood at the ferry, but did not speak.
Xin Zhen waited for a while and then planned to leave. Suddenly, a small boat approached from the ferry. On the boat sat a girl in blue. She had a graceful figure, but her face was indescribably strange and ugly. Her face was motionless, like a dead person. One look at her made people feel terrified.
Wanyan Ping looked back and was so frightened that she took two steps back.
Xin Zhen smiled, jumped off the carriage, and then jumped towards the small boat a few feet away from the shore.
Xin Zhen landed on the boat like a roc, but the girl sat still and said, "You have come here uninvited, what is the matter?"
The sound is extremely soft and crisp, making people wake up and forget their worries.
Xin Zhen smiled and said, "I came to see an old friend. Why do old friends wear masks when they meet?"
The girl chuckled and said, "Oh? Old friends meeting? Do you and I know each other?"
Xin Zhen laughed happily and said, "You little girl, you dare to tease your brother Yang. If you don't take off the mask, I will do it myself." The girl laughed softly, then took off the mask. A dignified and beautiful oval face came into view. Her complexion was crystal clear and her skin was as white as snow. When she saw Xin Zhen looking at her, her face blushed slightly, and for a moment her face was as beautiful as a rose.
Xin Zhen looked at her carefully and said with a smile, "Little Chengying has grown up so much."
Cheng Ying stood up, looked up at Yang Guo, her eyes full of joy, and said, "Brother Yang, I finally see you again."
Cheng Ying's voice trembled slightly, and it was not as calm as before. It seemed that she was extremely excited.
Xin Zhen was also quite moved. Although he and Cheng Ying had only been together for a few months, he admired her very much. He was very happy to see her again after several years.
But Cheng Ying took out a jade flute, smiled slyly and said: "Brother Yang, how about my swordsmanship?" After that, she stabbed at him with the jade flute.
Xin Zhen smiled and reached out his hand to hold Yu Xiao, but Yu Xiao turned around to avoid Xin Zhen's hand and then touched Xin Zhen's shoulder.
Xin Zhen bent his fingers and was about to play the jade flute, but the flute changed again, turned a circle, and the flute head pointed to Xin Zhen's wrist.
Xin Zhen nodded slightly and opened his hand as if trying to swallow Yuxiao like a giant python, but Yuxiao quickly retreated to avoid his grab.
The two of them exchanged dozens of moves in a flash, and the subtlety and mystery of their moves dazzled Wanyan Ping, who was watching on the shore.
After dozens of moves, Cheng Ying took the initiative to put away the jade flute, and then looked at Xin Zhen with anticipation, just like the little girl who was expecting Xin Zhen's praise a few years ago.
Xin Zhen was also very satisfied. Although he had shown mercy in the past few dozen moves, Cheng Ying had already mastered the Xiaotianxia and Xuanwu sword techniques to perfection. It seemed that he had mastered all the essentials of the sword classics.
Her swordsmanship skills are no less than those of Yin Zhiping today, and there are not many people in the world who can surpass her in swordsmanship.
Xin Zhen smiled and said, "It seems that you have not been lazy in the past few years. Your swordsmanship has reached a first-class level."
After Xin Zhen finished speaking, he stretched out his hand and placed it on Cheng Ying's shoulder, pressing down. Cheng Ying's body bent down, but then stood up again. The boat sank heavily in an instant, scaring the boatman behind to scream.
Xin Zhen showed a look of surprise on his face, and he applauded: "Very good, your internal strength has not declined. It seems that you have really put in a lot of effort in the past few years."
Cheng Ying said with a bright smile, "The inner strength and dynamic exercises that Big Brother Yang taught me are rare inner cultivation methods in the world. Even my master praised them highly. How could I let Big Brother Yang down?"
Xin Zhen nodded in understanding. The master that Cheng Ying mentioned should be Huang Yaoshi. Looking at Cheng Ying's mask and jade flute, as well as the few very gorgeous sword techniques he used when they just started fighting, it should be the Jade Flute Sword Technique of Peach Blossom Island.
Xin Zhen smiled and said, "Did Huang Lao Xie teach you the inheritance of Peach Blossom Island?"
Cheng Ying nodded and said, "Brother Yang, you taught me the inner strength and swordsmanship. After seeing my talent, my master thought I had decent talent, so he taught me some things in his spare time.
Brother Yang, the master praised you highly, saying that your sword manual is the general outline of all sword techniques in the world, and the one who can create this sword technique is truly the most powerful and intelligent swordsman in the world."
Xin Zhen smiled when he heard this, walked up to the shore, and said, "Little Chengying, come with me to meet Miss Long."
Cheng Ying's eyes had never left Xin Zhen's face since the moment she saw him. When she heard these words, she turned to look at the ox cart, and the beautiful and refined face of Xiaolongnu came into her sight. Her face suddenly turned pale.
