Chapter Thirty-Five: Fix Him!

  One day later, Nie Han followed Ru Qiu to leave. Half a year later, in the imperial examination, Nie Han's name spread throughout the world, and his fame reached its peak. Many people were curious about his school of thought, but Nie Han didn't mention it at all, which only drew more attention from the public.

  Nie Han was a household name in the city of Xi Yang, and when he left, the whole city came to see him off. Even the new arrivals from Hei Shan village rushed to bid him farewell, making for a spectacular scene.

  Many people had received Nie Han's help before, and everyone was reluctant to part with such a handsome guard. At that time, there were not a few people who shed tears, and several young women even fainted directly.

  Seeing Nie Han leave, even Yang Lin's temperament was somewhat sad. He let out a soft sigh and turned to leave the city gate. Yang Yu Xi originally wanted to leave too, but who knew Chen Hu would grab him, so he had no choice but to follow Chen Hu.

  Yang Lin returned to the city master's mansion and went straight to the study, pushing open the door he saw Yang San standing alone in front of the window, his back appearing somewhat desolate.

  "Master, Han'er has already left." Yang Lin slightly bowed his head.

  "Uh-huh, I know." Yang Sanpang's voice was neither sorrowful nor joyful, but very slow.

  Yang Lin said: "Master, I know you can't bear to part with him, but the outside world is indeed more suitable for him. He will surely become a pillar of our great Zhou dynasty."

  "Uh-huh, I know."

  "Old master......" Yang Lin was at a loss for words.

  Yang Sanwang finally turned around and changed the subject: "I just received a message."

  "What news?"

  Yang Sanwang picked up a bundle of bamboo slips from the desk and handed it to Yang Lin, saying: "The imperial court has learned about the incident in Haicheng City and has now sent someone to investigate."

  Yang Lin roughly scanned the contents of the bamboo slips and his face showed a look of shock: "The imperial court seems to be extremely enraged."

  "That's natural," Yang San said with a slight curl of his lip, seemingly sarcastic, "That guy definitely didn't think that such a situation would occur under his own rule, how could he not be furious?"

  Yang Lin seemed to ignore Yang Sanpang's expression and frowned: "Then should we prepare for it?"

  "What's going on?!"

  Yang Lin said: "After all, this matter was caused by me, I'm sure the imperial court will definitely come here..."

  Yang San forgot for a moment, then sneered even more, coldly saying: "If he dares to come looking for trouble with me..."

  The words behind Yang San forgot to say, but the fierce and ruthless look on his face flashed by.

  Yang Lin saw this and sighed silently, reminding in a low voice: "Old master, you were originally born together..."

  "Whatever." Yang San impatiently interrupted him and waved his hand, saying no more.

  "Alas..." Yang Lin shook his head and sighed.

  "Right," Yang San suddenly remembered something and looked up at Yang Lin, "Your last move was very rash."

  "Old master, I..." Yang Lin wanted to explain.

  Yang Sanwang said, "I know you couldn't bear to watch and that's why you intervened, but when I first arrived in Xiyang City, I made it clear that except for matters within the city itself, whether it was a bloodbath or a peaceful scene, no one was allowed to interfere. Have you forgotten?" As he spoke, Yang Sanwang's tone grew increasingly stern.

  Yang Lin knew he had offended Yang San's warning and bowed his head: "Yes, this time I was reckless."

  Yang San forgot to lower his head again, looking at the documents on the desk, picked up the wolf hair and began to examine them, saying lightly: "You go down and take twenty lashes, if there is a next time, severe punishment will not be spared."

  "Yes, sir." Yang Lin glanced at Yang Sanwang and let out a deeper sigh in his heart, then quietly left.

  Twenty strokes of the cane could take an ordinary person's life, but for him it was nothing.

  After Yang Lin left, Yang San forgot to put down the wolf hair brush, his eyes staring blankly at the air in front of the desk, dazed and distracted.

  "Second Tiger, stop!" Yang Yu Xi shook off Chen Hu's hand and rubbed her hand while saying, "What do you want to do?"

  Chen Hu panted slightly, leaning against a large tree and said: "Yu Xi, I've figured out how to deal with Nan Gong Cang Jie!"

  "What's going on?"

  Chen Hu "whoosh" took out a piece of paper from his bosom, on which were densely written some words.

  "What's this?" Yang Yu Xi leaned forward and pointed at the paper.

  "This is the 'Super Invincible Zhennan Palace Treasure' that I have set up!" Chen Hu said with a smug face.

  Yang Yu Xi's head ached for a moment, but she still calmed down and started reading from the beginning again.

  "Chili water... Tiger Bench..." Yang Yu Xi felt his head getting bigger the more he looked, and grabbed Chen Hu, "What's the use of these things! Are you interrogating prisoners or what?"

  "These... these things are a must-have for every man!" Chen Hu hurriedly defended himself.

  Yang Yu Xi shook his head and said: "These are definitely not okay, we just want to fix him up, not kill him, can't let him get hurt, understand?"

  Chen Hu pouted in dissatisfaction: "Why can't he get hurt? He's taken so many things from you."

  "He didn't rob me of anything," Yang Yu Xi shook her head and said. "These things never belonged to me in the first place."

  "Isn't 'Emperor of Kids' your title? Isn't Little Yan yours?" Chen Hu roared.

  Yang Yu Xi smiled and then looked up at the sky saying: "This time I accompanied Grandpa Yang Lin out, I learned something."

  "What's wrong?"

  "Qiu Sheng's title as the number one young Confucian is louder than my 'Child King' by who knows how many times, but in front of a powerful enemy, Qiu Sheng was completely powerless to resist. But Grandpa Yang Lin, despite having no title, has strong abilities and can defeat all enemies! So I understand now, these titles are all empty, only strength can represent everything!" As Yang Yu Xi said this, his entire body's aura surged, a domineering air seeped out from his flesh and blood, causing people to glance over in surprise.

  Chen Hu only then discovered that Yang Yu Xi had changed, no longer the same Yang Yu Xi as before. He became much more sensible and his entire demeanor was slowly undergoing a transformation.

  Yu Xi, you... Chen Hu was stunned.

  Yang Yu Xi said: "Moreover, Nan Gong Cang Jie is an opponent, not an enemy. I want to defeat him, I want to defeat him openly and fairly. However..."

  Yang Yu Xi's eyes flashed with cunning as he said, "It can be done, but we need to change the location and method."

  "Where are we going?" Chen Hu's eyes sparkled with mischief.

  "Desolate Valley!" Yang Yu Xi chuckled "Heh Heh".

  "What?! Chen Hu's eyes were instantly replaced with a look of shock, "No way, the wilderness is really scary!"

  "What? Scared!?" Yang Yu Xi's eyes narrowed.

  "I, I..." Chen Hu shrunk his body and then suddenly straightened up, "I'm not afraid at all, bring the horse over!"

  "Haha, that's what good brothers are for!" Yang Yu Xi patted Chen Hu's shoulder, looking at the worry in his eyes with some teasing.

  "Let's go, we'll set up camp in the wasteland first!" Yang Yu Xi said, not caring about Chen Hu's hesitation, and pulled him along as she walked.

  Chen Hu's face was suddenly more bitter than a bitter melon.

  The next day, Nan Gong Zang was woken up early by someone. He opened the door of the wooden house and was somewhat surprised to find that the person who came was actually Chen Hu.

  "Are you looking for me?" Nangong Cangjie immediately regained his composure and asked.

  "Yes, yes!" Chen Hu pretended to be calm.

  Nangong Zangjiao looked at him a few times, in his impression, Chen Hu was the one with the most hostility towards himself, but he didn't bother to care. He raised an eyebrow: "Something?"

  "Right, right!"

  "What's wrong?"

  Chen Hu took a few deep breaths and said: "Yu Xi wants to go to the wasteland this afternoon to find something, she asked us to go together, are you going?"

  "Is it your idea or his?"

  "What's the difference?!"

  "Yes."

  Chen Hu rolled his eyes: "It's Yu Xi's idea."

  "Hmm..." Nan Gong Zang Jie hesitated, then raised his head and looked at Chen Hu in puzzlement, "Why do I have to go?"

  "Hey!" Chen Hu finally couldn't bear it anymore. "You bastard, don't give you face or shame, let you go then go, why so much nonsense!"

  Nangong Zang was unmoved: "I'm not going." Then with a "bang", he shut the door.

  "This guy!" Chen Hu was furious, but for the time being, he had no choice but to leave first.

  Before she knew it, it was already afternoon, and Yang Yuxi lay on the grass, gazing leisurely at the horizon.

  Not far away, Li Bugu and Lan Yu'e stood side by side, their eyes wandering around, with a feeling of not daring to get close to Yang Yuxi.

  The two of them spoke in hushed tones, because the news from Chen Hu indicated that Yang Yu Xi had gone to a desolate valley this time, and his purpose was actually to find Red Root Green Leaf Grass.

  The two were puzzled as to why they still had to find the red root and green leaf grass. Chen Hu's answer was that Yang Yu Xi found this thing very useful, so he planned to pick more for future use. The two immediately had nothing to say.

  At this time, Chen Hu was also a little frightened beside Yang Yu Xi.

  "Second Tiger, where's Nangong Zuan?" Yang Yuxi spat out the grass root in his mouth and asked with narrowed eyes.

  "Ah, this...". Chen Hu's forehead was sweating, his mind racing to think of a reason. "Oh, he said he'd be late, let's wait a bit."

  "Really?" Yang Yu Xi said thoughtfully, then turned her head back to gaze at the white clouds in the sky.

  Chen Huo was restless and kept looking around, but Nan Gong Zuo's figure did not appear.

  "Should I tell Yu Xi that Nan Gong Zang Jie didn't agree to come?"

  "No way, no way, I'm definitely going to die!"

  "What if he really doesn't show up?"

  "Oh no, I'm going to die! If you don't come soon, it'll definitely be exposed!"

  "Never mind, let's be honest..."

  After a fierce ideological struggle, Chen Hu took a deep breath and decided to tell the truth.

  "Uh, Yu Xi..." Chen Hu's eyes darted back and forth, his forehead covered in sweat.

  Then he saw Yang Yu Xi slowly and firmly stand up, her eyes fixed tightly on Chen Hu's direction.

  Chen Hu was stared at by him like this, and his whole body's hairs stood up, his head lowered almost to the point of being buried in his chest.

  "Hey, Yu Xi, listen to me explain."

  Yang Yu Xi seemed as if he hadn't heard his words at all, step by step walking towards him, and not only that, the aura around his entire body began to surge upwards.

  "Yang, Yang Yu Xi, what are you going to do..." Chen Hu was a bit afraid. Yang Yu Xi's cultivation had already reached the upper level of Ling Qi, and although he also had middle-level Ling Qi, he was definitely no match for Yang Yu Xi. Seeing Yang Yu Xi like this, he involuntarily took step after step back.

  He has made psychological preparations for being beaten by Yang Yuxi.

  But unexpectedly, Yang Yuxi directly brushed past him, and his momentum also rose to the extreme.

  At the same time, another surge of opposing momentum burst forth.

  "Huh? Really?!"

  Chen Hu's heart skipped a beat as he immediately turned his head back, only to see Nan Gong Cang Jie standing not far away, and that new aura was emitted by him.

  The two of them sparked as soon as they met.
