Chapter 4: The Clever Boss Zhu Ting

  In the blink of an eye, half a year has passed. Li Yunfei's days in this half year were simply those of a monk practicing asceticism, every day practicing swordsmanship from dawn till dusk, practicing swordsmanship, and then practicing swordsmanship again.

  Because he knew there was a person named A Fei, who practiced sword swings ten thousand times every day. Ten years later, he became the Fast Sword A Fei. He knew there was a person named Fu Hongxue, who practiced drawing his knife tens of thousands of times every day. Ten years later, who in the Jianghu didn't know "Knife Saint" Fu Hongxue?

  He didn't know if these people were naturally talented or not, but he knew that without diligent practice, they wouldn't become stronger. The world's martial arts are invincible, only speed is unbreakable. Whether it's swordsmanship or knife techniques, the emphasis is on speed. So he practiced his sword during the day and meditated to cultivate his internal energy at night. He wanted to become stronger himself, he wanted to seize every opportunity to practice. Every day, he only used a small amount of time to bathe and sleep. He wanted to become a strong person, the strongest among 300,000 people, he didn't want to put his life in someone else's hands again. He wanted to kill Xiao Yao Hou, kill Xiao Yao Hou's followers. So he practiced with all his might. If it weren't for the clothes given by the system on his body, he would have looked like a beggar now.

  But he has indeed gained a lot in the past six months, and looking at his current attributes can see how much stronger he has become.

  Number 2112:

  Inner Strength: Mid-level Inner Strength 10th level (Maxed). Golden Bell Shield 4th level.

  Lightness Skill: Basic Lightness 10th level (Maxed)

  Swordsmanship: Basic Swordsmanship level 10 (maxed). Gale Slash level 7.

  Weapon: Cold Cloud Sword.

  Clothes: White sweater.

  Head ornament: Jade hairpin.

  Kutsu: Kyushu-ri.

  Physical condition: Healthy.

  He now feels that he has become at least ten times stronger. Only now did he realize that his past self was a frog in the well. After practicing for over a decade, he is only about as strong as he is now.

  There is still half a year's time, and the Lu Xiaofeng legendary storyline will begin. Must seize the time to arrive at the town to participate in the Lu Xiaofeng storyline.

  Simply pack up and set off towards the nearby town. Ride on the horse that came from the mountain stronghold, according to your own memory, heading towards the small town.

  After hurrying for two days, I finally arrived at a nearby town. Entering the town, I saw an inn and went inside. A young servant hastily ran over.

  "Sir, would you like to stay overnight or just have a meal?"

  "Give me a room upstairs, and bring me four dishes, two meat and two vegetarian. Bring another jug of wine too! Hurry up!" He finished speaking and tossed two taels of silver to the waiter.

  "Old man, wait a moment, it'll be ready soon." The shopkeeper took one look and knew Li Yunfei was a big spender. He had money and was good to serve. But he really did have money. There was quite a bit of money in that mountain stronghold.

  Li Yunfei placed his sword on the wine table. When the waiter came to serve wine and dishes, he looked around casually. Some martial artists were eating there. They seemed to be some ordinary Jianghu people, without any masters.

  The dishes and wine were quickly brought up by the waiter. Li Yunfei slowly ate his food and drank his wine. At this time, a fat man walked in slowly. The waiter hurried over to greet him: "Boss Zhu has arrived, please take a seat!"

  Li Yunfei knew this person was his target - Zhu Ting, the Old Master of Miao Shou.

  Zhu Ting is a member of the Lu Ban Gate, with a single move that can shut down the entire world, no one can compare.

  Zhu Ting had never done business or opened a store before. Because he thought that no matter what business he did, or what kind of store he opened, there would always be times when he would lose money.

  He absolutely cannot take this risk. But he has a nickname called "Magical Hands Boss". Because Zhu Ting is someone who knows how to enjoy himself.

  He is open-minded about everything. This makes his flesh grow day by day.

  Fat people always look like they have good fortune, only very fortunate people can be bosses, so many people call him boss.

  He has a pair of skilled hands and can make many strange things as long as you can think of them.

  He once made a bet with others that he could make a wooden man that could walk, and as a result, he won fifty tables of swallow's nest banquet and an additional fifty jars of good wine.

  So although he doesn't have a handsome face, he has a very beautiful wife. In his life, he hasn't done one serious thing. Yet he can always live in the most comfortable house, wear the most exquisite clothes, and drink the best wine.

  Zhu Ting glanced at Li Yunfei's sword, it was a good sword. A very good sword. Then he looked at his hand again. It was a clean and white hand, the hand of a swordsman, a good swordsman attaches great importance to his hand, Zhu Ting could see that the owner of this hand could wield a good sword.

  Li Yunfei had only learned swordsmanship for half a year, but he was indeed using a good sword. His previous life had practiced swords for over a decade after all.

  Although he has not yet reached the realm of a top-notch master, he indeed possesses excellent swordsmanship that can kill many top-notch masters. The ultimate martial arts skill is unmatched, nothing can withstand it except for speed.

  Zhu Ting stopped in front of Li Yunfei's desk:

  "May I sit down?"

  Li Yunfei nodded and then Zhu Ting sat down again and said: "My name is Zhu Ting."

  "I know, isn't the nickname of Old Boss Zhu Ting 'Magical Hand' something I've heard before?"

  "Brother's surname is Tai Gao, first name is Daming"

  "Li Yunfei, a nobody."

  "With Brother Tai's swordsmanship, I believe he will soon be renowned throughout the martial world"

  "Then I'll borrow Brother Zhu's auspicious words. Let's have a drink, and I'll toast Brother Zhu with a cup."

  "Come and drink, today we won't leave until we're drunk."

  After drinking, Zhu Ting kept inviting Li Yunfei to his home as a guest. He pulled him and wouldn't let go. It seems that apart from being good at enjoying himself, Zhu Ting is also very hospitable.

  Li Yunfei followed Zhu Ting to a very luxurious residence. The servant came out and welcomed Zhu Ting in, then a very beautiful woman stepped forward and supported him, taking him to a room. It seemed that this woman was the legendary madam. The servant took Li Yunfei to a guest room. Li Yunfei lay down and fell asleep.

  The next morning, Li Yunfei got up early as usual to practice his sword. He started practicing in the courtyard, and a series of sword shadows flashed through the air. Li Yunfei's sword moves were getting faster and faster. The sound of sword humming echoed through the air. He practiced for an hour.

  Sheathing his sword, Li Yunfei turned around and looked at Zhu Ting.

  "Sorry to disturb Brother Yun's sword practice! Sorry, sorry!"

  Li Yunfei had long discovered Zhu Ting. He knew that Zhu Ting was not secretly learning martial arts, because Zhu Ting did not know martial arts.

  "It doesn't matter, I'll join you and Brother Zhu for a meal after I've bathed and changed."

  Li Yunfei stayed at Zhu Ting's house for about a month. Every day, apart from practicing swordplay, he also discussed mechanisms with Zhu Ting. Although he didn't know much about mechanisms, being a modern person, he had many ideas. The relationship between the two people became increasingly good.

  It wasn't long before he had leveled up his Wind and Sword skills to level 8. Lu Xiao Feng appeared. Although it would still be four or five months before the plot of Jin Peng Wang Chao would appear, Lu Xiao Feng's appearance now was also a good thing, as this would allow Li Yun Fei to get to know him earlier. This way he could participate in the plot.

  That day, Li Yunfei had just finished practicing his sword. Zhu Ting pulled him to introduce a friend to get to know him. He followed Zhu Ting to the living room and saw someone lounging lazily in a wide and comfortable armchair. Not even moving, looking like a dead person. His eyes never opened. His eyebrows were very thick, his eyelashes were very long, and he had two whiskers on his upper lip, neatly trimmed. His two whiskers and eyebrows were exactly the same. He was Lu Xiaofeng, the four-eyebrowed Lu Xiaofeng.

  Zhu stopped and nudged Lu Xiaofeng with his foot, then said "Lu Xiaoji, hurry up and get up, I'll introduce a friend to you."

  Lu Xiaofeng opened his eyes, sat up straight and looked at Li Yunfei, saying: "My name is Lu Xiaofeng, friends call me Lu Xiaoji. Since you are a friend of Zhu Ting's, then you are also a friend of mine, Lu Xiaofeng. Whatever you need, just let me know."

  "The famous Lu Xiaofeng with his four eyebrows, today I see him and indeed he is not famous in vain. My name is Li Yunfei, a nobody."

  "With your swordsmanship, I think you'll become famous soon." Lu Xiaofeng said, looking at Li Yunfei's hand.

  Zhu Ting said: "Haha, Lu Xiaoji, you're quite discerning. His swordsmanship is indeed quite extraordinary."

  "Let's not talk about this anymore. Today, the three of us will have a good drink." Li Yunfei said.

  "Drinking? Great! I, Lu Xiaofeng, am notorious for being a drunkard!" After finishing speaking, Lu Xiaofeng sprang up with a flip. It seems that Lu Xiaofeng's lightness skill is quite good.

  Three people went out for a drink, and they went to the best wine house in the small town, Qingyun Wine House. These people all drank the best wine and lived in the best houses. They were not short of money, so why not use the best?

  Three people were drinking and talking about Luk Siu-fung's rise to fame - the counterfeit silver note case. Speaking of this counterfeit silver note case, one has to mention the famous courtesan, Fa Man-leung - Fa Mun-lau.

  That was the first time Lu Xiaofeng met Hua Manlou, but some people knew each other for a lifetime and were just ordinary friends. Some people knew each other for a day and had already become bosom buddies. Every time Lu Xiaofeng mentioned Hua Manlou, his voice was always filled with tenderness. If Li Yunfei didn't know that Lu Xiaofeng was a drunkard and a womanizer, he would have thought that Lu Xiaofeng liked men.

  Although he had read Gu Long's evaluation of Hua Man Lou in books before, Li Yunfei was still very curious about Hua Man Lou. So he asked Lu Xiaofeng.

  "I'm really curious, although Huamanlou is very famous, I still want to know what kind of person Huamanlou is? To be able to receive such praise from you!" Li Yunfei asked.

  Lu Xiaofeng lowered his head and thought for a moment before saying: "I have no way to describe him, I can only say that he is the least blind of all the blind men."

  "The least blind-like blind person, what a strange introduction." Li Yunfei lowered his head and thought for a moment.

  "It was only after I had known him for a long time that I found out he was blind. When I found out he was blind, I felt very sympathetic towards him. But one sentence from him made me realize that it's actually us who are the pitiful ones." Lu Xiao Feng sighed.

  "What's the matter?" "When I felt sorry for his eyes, he asked me a question: Have you ever heard the sound of snowflakes falling on the roof? Can you feel that wonderful life force when flower buds slowly open in the spring breeze? Do you know that autumn winds often carry the fragrance of leaves from distant mountains?"

  Li Yunfei was stunned, and Zhu Ting was also stunned. What a broad-minded heart is this? Perhaps his name explains everything. Huamanlou, open a life of fresh flowers in the building. This is the fragrance of life.
