Walking on the bluestone path, passing by a large open-style villa. Looking up, the sign above reads three big characters: Lanhai Pavilion.

  Su Qing clapped her hands and laughed: "Young master, lets go have some fun."

  Pulling Zhang Yes hand, they ran inside.

  During this time, ponds and pools are everywhere, small bridges flow with water, and various forms of pavilions. Scholars and beauties can be seen everywhere, either reciting poetry or playing the zither.

  With a sour and elegant breath, Zhang Ye thought: Master sister must like it, no wonder she leaves the mountain gate every month, originally there are so many worldly fineries.

  Going straight ahead, it splits into two large halls on either side.

  On one side of the hall hung a large chessboard, with pieces as big as basins. Below the seats for honored guests, two poor scholars sat facing each other drinking tea and playing chess.

  The beauty above has put the two poor chess routes on display on that large chessboard, for people to admire. This resulted in over a hundred poor people gathering around to discuss and critique.

  "Really? Youve gone the wrong way."

  "Its high, really high."

  "What? The State of Zhao is surrounded and in danger!"

  Those who used to say "watching chess without speaking is a true gentleman" are now hoarse from shouting, with a wretched appearance. It seems that Master Eldest Sister searched for him among the crowd for thousands of times, and finally turned back suddenly at the mountain gate. It makes sense.

  Zhang Ye didnt go in and didnt understand chess either, curiously asking Su Qing: "What are they doing?"

  "Warring States competing for hegemony, the chessboard under heaven, killing moves to destroy a country." Su Qing shook her head and replied like a primary school student.

  It seems that her identity as a book boy is quite suitable.

  On this side of the chessboard, its noisy and chaotic, with all sorts of voices mixed together. On the other side, however, its quiet and peaceful, with many people seated, but only one clear voice can be heard, just like a teacher lecturing.

  "Lets go listen to a story." Su Qing pulled Zhang Yes hand and ran over this way.

  There is an old scholar-like man speaking in a rhythmic and cadent tone on this side.

  "To know what happens next, wait for the next episode."

  The poor guy slapped the wooden table and ended this chapter.

  Zhang Ye felt like it was really bad timing.

  Su Qing seemed to have been suppressed by his wife for too long, and the depression of the past needed these to make up for it. He pulled Zhang Ye to sit down in the VIP seat in front.

  Qing brought over some green tea and peanuts on the coffee table. Su Qing and Zhang Ye started snacking, waiting for "next times explanation".

  Suddenly, the old poor scholar on stage cleared his throat.

  At this time, another young man who was even more handsome and looked like a rich young master than Zhang Ye walked into the hall. He also brought a small book boy with him.

  Xiao Shu Tongs appearance made Zhang Ye take a few more glances, feeling that he somewhat resembled the little girl who had come to sell herself to bury her mother previously.

  "Bang—"

  The wooden clapper struck, and the sound subsided.

  The poor-looking man with a shaking head said: "Last time we talked about how Zhao Guo was in trouble, and Wujun Gongzi bravely broke through layers of obstacles, stole the military power, rushed thousands of miles to rescue Zhao Guo..."

  "Good! Ten steps kill one person, a thousand miles without leaving a trail!"

  Also dont know how, accidentally heard when Zhang Ye suddenly felt enlightened, and abruptly stood up to interrupt.

  "Huh."

  The scholar who was reading the book upstairs was interrupted and wasnt very happy, but after hearing this, he couldnt help but stop and recite it a few times, clapping his hands in praise, "Good! Does the young master have the next two lines?"

  "Hmm." Zhang Ye scratched his head.

  In the hall, there was a wave of disdain. The handsome young master with a small book boy also smiled slightly.

  "This young master..." The poor scholar above intended to continue questioning Zhang Ye.

  However, dozens of banana peels and tomatoes were thrown at the people who came to buy tickets below.

  "Are you going to talk?"

  "Refund, definitely refund!"

  A mouthful of saliva below. The poor guy above was so scared that he continued reading his book...

  In the sea of knowledge, Purple Clothes opened her eyes when she heard that sentence and thought for a long time before sighing softly: "Indeed, Zhang Ye has his own understanding. He is also comprehending the Tai Xuan Great Way in his own way. Good job, Wei Wuji stealing the troops to rescue Zhao Guo. To understand it this way, theres some reason to it."

  When Zi Yi whispered softly, Zhang Ye also ran into Shi Hai and curiously asked: "What did you just say?"

  The purple-robed figures slightly raised proud face: "Originally I wanted to wait a bit longer, now theres no need to wait, leave this place, Ill pass on a set of palm techniques to you."

  Although Zhang Ye also liked listening to books, he preferred to cultivate, so he had to take Su Qing out.

  As he walked out of Lanhai Pavilion, Zhang Ye thought about finding an inn to stay in. However, at this moment, a white light streaked across the sky.

  "Look, a shooting star!"

  Peddlers and passersby on the street shouted and pointed at the sky.

  Zhang Yes face changed color after seeing it, and he had to leave the city immediately. The light was a talisman of the Tai Xuan Gate. After the light, a jade token on Zhang Yes body transmitted a vibration.

  The jade card is given by the sect when it is tempered, not only as an "identity card" for the Xian Tao disciples, but also has a simple formation in the jade card that can respond to the distress spirit symbol of this sect within a certain range.

  Of course, if its too far away then it wont work.

  Zhang Ye is currently still an outer sect disciple, and the jade token he obtained is only a second-grade jade token. The talismans that can be inscribed inside are also very simple, with an effective range of about ten miles around.

  High-quality warning jade cards and summoning talismans are very troublesome to make, requiring a large amount of high-quality materials, so the sect will not issue them to outer disciples.

  It is said that among the true transmission disciples, there are four-product jade cards and four-product symbols, which can be sensed within a radius of 500 miles.

  In this mundane world, the appearance of Tai Xuan Mens summoning symbol in the sky must mean something is about to happen.

  As he pondered, Zhang Ye took Su Qing and hastily left the city, following the jade tokens guidance, heading into the mountains. After leaving the mundane world behind, they soared through the air, the whistling wind blowing past their ears.

  When they arrived at a mountain valley and fell to the ground, there stood a man and a woman.

  "Are you coming alone?"

  The young man who asked the question had a proud look on his face, different from the pride on the purple-robed mans face. This persons expression made people somewhat disgusted.

  He wore the Taoist robe of an inner disciple, so Zhang Ye respectfully said: "Outer disciple Zhang Ye pays his respects to senior brother. I dont know what senior brother is calling me for, or what this is about."

  "Bad luck, hes just an outer sect disciple?" The persons eyebrows furrowed even more.

  He looked at Su Qing with dissatisfaction and said, "What a big nerve, a small outer door disciple who has just entered the secular world is already indulging in pleasures. Look at what youre wearing, you look like a complete secular dandy. And who is this woman?"

  He pointed at Su Qing after he finished speaking.

  "Is she... my book boy?"

  "How bold!" said the inner gate master, "Outer gate servant, still recruiting book boys from the secular world?"

  Zhang Ye found it inconvenient to retort, and with his head lowered, he didnt say a word. He thought to himself, "It seems like the school rules dont have any provisions for punishment like this?"

  The woman who had been silent all along let out a light cough, as if reminding him.

  The man finally stopped talking nonsense, turned around with his hands behind his back and said: "Hmph, Zhang Ye, Ive heard of you before. I heard youre the one being taken care of by Tian Ying Peak. Alright, no more nonsense, others may give in to you, but Im not afraid, I am Wu Que."

  "Master Wuque." Zhang Ye respectfully addressed him, and at the same time recalled something.

  Flawless, a direct descendant of Huo Tianlang, ranked fourth among the inner disciples. It is said that he has entered the third layer of the foundation-building realm. In the past, he was not often active in the sect, but was sent by Huo Tianlang to supervise the outer door slaves in the lower mines.

  Actually, Zhang Ye had good luck in the past. The most miserable outer sect disciples were not those who planted herbs, but rather that group of people who spent their days without seeing the sun and lived deep underground.

  They either die from exhaustion or are killed by these supervised inner disciples.

  Yaogu rarely has outer door disciples who betray, but the underground environment is harsh, and those who betray almost every day are impossible to escape, most of them being directly executed!

  These were all told by Xu Ying to Zhang Ye later on.
