Chapter 3 Zeng Shu Shu

  "Lao Qi, what have you done? You haven't done anything wrong. I've never driven you out of Qingyun, and even if Qingyun doesn't want to keep you, I, Dazhu Feng, will keep you!" Tian Bu Yi said, his words touching the heart.

  Who can resist the true feelings of this world? Zhang Yu Fan couldn't help but shed hot tears, muttering in his mouth: "Master, it's all my fault, I'm wrong, I've caused you to suffer..."

  "Lao Qi, why don't you stay? Your master's wife would also like to see you!" Tian Bu Yi said, with a hint of expectation in his eyes.

  "I...". Zhang Yu Fan was about to say it out loud, and he also wanted to stay behind to bring some comfort to these people. But thinking again, who is he? Zhang Yu Fan is an imposter, even in the dark of night Lu Xue Qi still can't recognize him. No, no, with a determined heart, he said: "Master, I won't be able to return anymore, my disciple's karma is too heavy, and I also cannot betray Bi Yao!"

  Tian did not expect this and was shocked, as if he had been electrocuted. He took a step back without saying anything.

  "Master!" Zhang Yufan called out deeply, knocking his head three times, and then disappeared before Tian Naiyi's face.

  Looking at the figure gradually disappearing from view, Tian Ye's expression was a mix of loss and bewilderment.

  Hurriedly descending from the Great Bamboo Peak, Zhang Yu Fan let out a deep breath. The air in this forest was thousands of times better than that in the city. He felt reluctant to leave but had to go. It would be fine if he only met people who knew about the Great Bamboo Peak, but it would be troublesome if he encountered others from Qingyun. Nowadays, Qingyun was a place where dragons and snakes mixed together, with all sorts of people coming to rely on the power of the Exterminating Sword Formation to avoid the calamity of beasts and demons.

  Haha, you're all cowards! I'm going south anyway.

  Made up his mind, Zhang Yu Fan quickened his pace.

  The Qingyun Mountain indeed has a vast and broad surface, and under his rapid pace, he had already reached the top of Qingyun when daylight broke.

  A small town at the foot of the mountain, it must be the famous Hanyang City. Although it's early morning, it's already bustling with people. No wonder, all those who come here are refugees, sleeping haphazardly on the streets, either your stinky feet or his snores, and from time to time there are mosquitoes biting, plus the nervousness of the crowd, a slight carelessness can lead to a fight.

  Zhang Yu Fan walked closer and the noisy sounds from inside the city could be heard very clearly.

  "So this is Heiyang City, it's even more prosperous than what was described in the book!" He said to himself as he walked into Heiyang City.

  Refugees on both sides of the street were restlessly standing, barely allowing a horse carriage to pass through, but who would still take a horse carriage at this time? The situation has already become terrible.

  Zhang Yu Fan was walking along when he suddenly felt a sense of crisis in his heart. As he gazed out at the refugees behind him, he was suddenly tapped on the back. Turning around, he saw a young disciple of Qing Yun, with delicate features and wearing a long robe, holding a golden fan that seemed to have a landscape painting on it. He didn't have time to look closely, but felt that the way this person looked at him was somewhat strange, as if searching for something.

  Could it be him?

  Just as Zhang Yufan was still uncertain, the man suddenly spoke up.

  "You're here too, where's Xiao Hui?"

  "It's you!" Zhang Yufan exclaimed in surprise.

  "It's me, Zeng Shu Shu!" Zeng Shu Shu looked up and down at Zhang Yu Fan, obviously taking him for Zhang Xiao Fan as well, and sneered: "Young Master Zhang, you really are a noble with a bad memory!"

  Zhang Yu Fan naturally knew what Zeng Shu Shu was looking for, and also knew that the first person Zhang Xiao Fan met outside of Qing Yun Men's Da Zhu Peak was none other than Zeng Shu Shu himself. Since he had entered "Xian Xia" and impersonated the number one figure Zhang Xiao Fan, why did he come? For beautiful women? As long as he impersonated Zhang Xiao Fan, all the beauties surrounding him would throw themselves at him, haha, the best part was yet to come.

  "Zhang Xiaodi, what are you spacing out about?" Zeng Shushu asked again, still with that smiling face, as if Zhang Xiaofan had always been this silly.

  "It's nothing!" Zhang Yufan hastily said.

  "You haven't answered my question yet, what about Xiao Hui?" As expected, the drunkard's mind was not on wine, Zeng Shu's greatest concern was still Xiao Hui.

  Zhang Yufan understood his intention but didn't answer him, and sneered: "You're not here to ask for that blue leather book back, are you? I can take it out if you want!"

  "Stop, stop, stop..." Zeng Shu was shocked. He would never have thought that the introverted and shy Zhang Xiaofan would dare to take out that spring palace picture. This is a matter of great importance, related to one's downfall and loss of reputation! He quickly said: "Don't, don't, things that have been sent out can't be taken back!" He glanced around, leaned into Zhang Xiaofan's ear and whispered: "I've already seen the moves inside and memorized them. Besides, I'm still single now, taking it back would be useless. You'd better keep it, after all, you're surrounded by beauties, who knows when you might need to use it."

  Zhang Yu Fan was delighted in his heart, he originally didn't have that book on him, and he knew this guy would rather die than lose face, so he definitely wouldn't take it out. On the contrary, he turned the tables on him and stopped asking about Xiao Hui's whereabouts.

  "Where are you going?" Zeng Shu suddenly asked.

  "Shan Hai Garden!" Zhang Yu Fan pointed to a nearby wine house and thought, after a night of trouble, it's time to eat, but he was worried about not having money to go to the restaurant, then Zeng Shu Shu appeared, really heaven is helping me.

  Zeng Shu was taken aback, this wasn't the answer he wanted at all, and he hadn't noticed that Zhang Xiaodi in front of him was already plotting against him.

  "You won't mind if I treat you to a good meal, will you?" Zhang Yufan said again.

  "Where, where..." Zeng Shu hastily said, pulling Zhang Yufan into the Shanhai Garden.

  It's still that desk by the window, but now it's no longer a cozy seat. The streets are filled with refugees, and people are anxious everywhere.

  Zeng Shu was still very mindful of getting Xiao Hui's attention, and the most famous "Clear Steamed Fish" in Shanhai Garden was also the only hobby that the two people had in common. How could he bear to give up this signature dish?

  As soon as the shopkeeper heard, although he was downstairs, he already knew it was Zeng Shu. For so many years, he had always been a regular customer here, and since he was also from Qingyun, his appearance and temperament were completely etched in his and the shopkeeper's minds. Even in the next life, they wouldn't forget that last time, right at this table, he accidentally dropped that erotic picture book, and to shut up the two of them, he even lent it to the shopkeeper for a night. It was truly rare to have such talent in Qingyun.

  "Mr. Zeng, it's been a long time since I've seen you, what can I get for you?" The shop assistant asked with a smile, his legs moving quickly as he went upstairs.

  "Don't get me wrong, I don't care about you looking up to me, but clear steaming fish is a must!" Zeng Shu's demeanor was very generous, with a deep brotherly affection.

  "The steamed fish...". The shopkeeper's words were cut off halfway, and he suddenly stopped, looking a bit embarrassed. "Mr. Zeng, you brought friends today, don't blame me for being rude to your face, but the truth is that we've been out of steamed fish since the day before yesterday..."

  Zeng's face sank, but he didn't get angry, and slowly said: "Why?"

  The young shopkeeper saw Zeng Shu's book and didn't get angry, his face slightly relaxed, but immediately became bitter again, complaining to Zeng Shu: "Master Zeng, with the beast disaster going on, so many refugees have come to the city all at once, there's nothing to eat! The fish in the river behind the mountain don't know when they'll be caught!"

  Zeng Shu nodded slightly, with a complex expression on his face, and slowly shook his head.

  "Zeng Grandfather, you are the junior disciple of the old immortal on Qingyun Mountain. You should say something about when this beast demon can be pacified. At present, if it weren't for the various masters of Qingyun, I don't know how many people would have died in River City from robbery and looting alone!" The shopkeeper's words were also laced with a few parts of fear.

  Zeng Shu's eyebrows furrowed even tighter, and from his father Zeng Shuchang he knew that even the true person of the sect, Daoxuan Shibo, had reservations. The Xian Jian sword array was formidable, but it didn't have a 100% guarantee of success. A single ordinary beast demon was already so powerful, and the legendary Beast King had never shown his face before. His actual strength was really unimaginable.

  "What are you afraid of!" Zeng Shu suddenly said, "Don't others know, and don't you believe in Qingyun's strength? The Exterminating Immortal Sword is an ancient divine artifact. With the Seven Veins Spirit Energy gathered by Qingye Ancestor, the Exterminating Immortal Sword Formation is invincible. Those small beast demons are nothing, the sword energy will make them come without return."

  Zeng Shu was indeed a meticulous person, even if Qing Yun really couldn't support it, he absolutely wouldn't leak any secrets. At this time when people's hearts were in a state of panic, he himself mustn't lose his composure and say something to boost morale, which was the most important thing for him to do at the moment.

  Listening to the conversation between the two, Zhang Yufan couldn't help but secretly laugh. You don't ask me about the Exterminating Immortals, you ask this little scoundrel instead? You really are blind! In "Exterminating Immortals" on some hundredth and tenth night... Ah, I've forgotten too, anyway it was Daoxuan who risked opening the heavenly lock of the Seven Veins of Qingyun, activating the Exterminating Sword Array to its maximum power, repelling the Beast King, resulting in both sides suffering heavy losses. Every Earthling knows this, but you don't!

  "That old Dao can definitely defeat the Beast King!" Zhang YuFan casually said a sentence, thinking that this was still his own small desk, not knowing that the surrounding crowd had heard him and cast their eyes on Dao Xuan with disrespect.

  "... " had wanted to speak up, but deeply knew the chasm between Zhang Xiaofan and his master's older brother was too deep, so he swallowed his words and said nothing.
