Seventeen: Don't Underestimate the Younger Brother (Third Update, Seeking Recommendation)

  PS: Brothers, what level have you practiced your voting skills? We are a bit far from the top 30, come on and make an effort.

  ——————

  "Little brother, how many layers have you practiced your Stone Skin Jade Flesh Technique?"

  "The master said it's the early stage of the fifth layer."

  "I'm going!" Qin Yu was still wandering around on the second floor, and didn't expect that this little junior brother had almost reached the end of his practice.

  Thinking about it, without such a strong external foundation, how could he wield a heavy crossbow and pull a powerful bow?

  Tan Yong knew that although Zhang Ren had entered the sect before him, their master disliked his poor family background and used his younger age as an excuse not to let him be his senior brother. To say the least, he felt guilty about it.

  But even if he had been training for two years or more under his master's guidance, how could he have made such rapid progress?

  "It's almost at its peak!" Zhang Xuan said that Shi Pi Yu Ji Fa has five layers because it is a basic external skill!

  "Yes, so Master En finally passed on the Heart Method of Shi Gan Dang to me." Zhang Ren said honestly.

  "When did you go deliver...that leather jacket?"

  Zhang Ren nodded.

  Qian Yun pouted, the old man was so petty and biased! He definitely didn't plan to pass on the true skills, but fortunately, his younger brother had a deep affinity for him, wholeheartedly devoted to his master, and by chance, moved the old thing once.

  "Next time Master Big Brother asks you, it's better not to tell him about this matter."

  "Yes, Second Brother. But, uh... Eldest Brother has been practicing for a very long time..."

  "How long has Master Brother been practicing? What's he been practicing for so long?" Qin Yu asked, suddenly understanding, stuck out his tongue and spread his hands, "Forget what I just said, let it go. However, don't tell anyone else."

  "Yes, Master has instructed me to recognize only Second Brother as my superior, and in the future, he will become a general."

  "Hmm!" Qin Yu nodded, "Not a bit wrong, little brother you are born with the makings of a great general!"

  Zhang Ren opened his mouth and laughed hehe.

  "Master said, Second Brother, you have a good foundation, let me tell you about Shi Gang's mental method."

  Wow! The old guy is pretty good!

  Tan Yong's heart warmed up a bit, thinking, this dead old man, now also don't know how he is doing.

  He ran to Hanzhong alone to avenge his murder, which doesn't look very reliable. Although he is said to be a master of the Yi Zong sect, Zhang Lu has been holding the Heavenly Master Tao for many years, and even if he himself is skilled, there are countless high-ranking disciples guarding him around.

  Let's wait for myself to struggle for two years, accumulate some strength, and then go help Master.

  "Now, let me see what good things you've got in this bag of yours?"

  ……

  When Qin Yu and Zhang Ren Shi brothers were happily dividing their spoils.

  In a remote mountainous area, on a rugged small path, one person was leading a horse walking slowly in the dark night.

  Suddenly, the man let out a sneeze, followed by another. Even the lollipop in his mouth fell out, but fortunately, it was intercepted mid-air by Lao Dao's swift move and returned to its original place in his mouth.

  He stopped suspiciously, looked around cautiously, and in line with the sixth sense, there was no one around.

  "What's wrong! The old Daoist actually got hurt by the wind?" muttered a voice with a lollipop in his mouth, "Alas! I don't even know how my disciples are doing now! Especially Xiao Yu, who loves to cause trouble and make mistakes. Hopefully they'll have a smooth journey south and nothing will go wrong."

  One man, one horse, continue on their way.

  ……

  In the room, Tan Yu suddenly let out two loud sneezes.

  "The kang is still warm, little brother, you go to sleep first, I'll finish off the last bit of energy."

  Two small golden needles were still stuck in his belly, and the qi and blood inside his body had been suppressed for a long time.

  He thought these two sneezes might have something to do with it and didn't think that maybe someone close was muttering about him.

  Zhang Ren was also tired and directly crawled to the place designated by his senior brother, fell asleep as soon as he lay down.

  After being chased for several hours, Iron Man couldn't take it anymore. Of course, there were also benefits - after this scare, his riding and horseback archery skills had made significant progress. Compared to the skilled riders of the North, he was still a bit inferior, but in places like Jingzhou and Jiangdong, if he could get by, he would be fully qualified for the role of cavalry commander.

  Tan Yun looked at his younger brother entering a dreamland, seemingly unaware of the desire to doze off as well. However, he didn't have much time to delay either. Shi Huan would definitely return before dawn, and he had to clear the two Axi points on his abdomen before that moment arrived.

  Otherwise, Wu Ling Man is a pass that he cannot get through himself.

  The problem is that Jin Wei has developed an inexplicable "grudge" against himself, he can still understand a little, disappointed uncle, psychologically unhealthy, and harboring resentment towards this unparalleled handsome young man, no matter what, it's understandable.

  Why did Deng Qianwang and Mrs. Deng have to accompany him in his nonsense?

  According to Xie Zilan's interpretation, Wu Ling seemed to have no malice towards himself and really wanted to rescue him from Shi Huan's hands.

  However, Xie Zilan at that time was just a backup plan to rescue Qin Yu with Tang Nanzhu, and the employment relationship between the two parties was simple and concise. Tang Nanzhu himself ruined the plan and almost died at the hands of Shi Huang, so he couldn't ask Xie Zilan to fulfill his promise again. The cooperative relationship between the two parties had also automatically terminated at that time.

  So Xie Zilan is not very clear about the specific situation and can't say clearly what they want to do.

  This unknown is really frustrating.

  The Wuling barbarians began to show a terrible side, Deng Qianwan, Deng Furen, Zeng Yinyin, Zeng Xiaodie, Tang Nanzhu, and Jin Wei who helped out, adding up to the six Wuling dark realm strongmen that Quan Yu already knew about.

  Of course, their main target is Shi Huang.

  But now he has seemingly made a great enemy of Jin Wei, and he can move through Zhang Ren to capture his evil intentions, and it's hard to say that there won't be other vicious means.

  It's fortunate that the other party isn't a tight-knit organization, at least Xiao Die doesn't approve of their methods.

  Otherwise...

  Tan Yun looked at Zhang Ren who was sleeping soundly and shook his head.

  Darkness! Must become darkness!

  ……

  At the third watch of the night, Shi Hua quietly returned to the small village and slipped into the courtyard of the village head's house.

  He didn't enter Qiong Yu's house, but stood far away and listened to Qiong Yu's breathing.

  "Huh?" He was somewhat surprised, there was an extra person in the room, fast asleep. The person's breathing was weak, but he didn't care who it was. However, why were Qin Yu's vital energy and breathing also so normal?

  This is not normal.

  Normally, Quan Yu should be making a breakthrough at the critical moment of the Aqi acupoint, but he didn't even dare to make a loud noise, fearing that it would startle Quan Yu's mind?

  The door creaked open with a soft sound, and Qin Yu pushed it open.

  "Old man, what are you doing standing outside in the cold? Come on in and warm up!"

  Shi Huan glanced sideways and followed him into the house, then reached out with one hand to grasp Qin Yu's left wrist.

  Qin Yu raised his right hand, with two golden needles between his fingers: "Don't take my pulse anymore, I've already fully recovered."

  Shi Huan didn't believe it, carefully cut for half a day, and indeed... all the required acupoints in the dark realm were unblocked.

  "Passed?" Shi Huang put down Qin Yu's hand and muttered two words, his eyes slightly wide.

  "Isn't Elder always praising my talent? Should have expected it long ago?" Qin Yu said with a hint of sarcasm.

  Shi Yun snorted and said: "Why do I feel that you are still at the Refining Qi Realm level?"

  "Maybe I need a catalyst, and what I've accumulated so far isn't enough yet!"

  Shi Huan thought for a moment and looked at the kang head.

  "Is this kid your little junior brother?"

  "Not bad, he is indeed Zhang Ren."

  Shi Guang nodded: "Today, I heard his name when I went out. He was able to escape from those barbarians, and he has some skills. Follow me and practice well, maybe you'll have a future."

  "Absolutely!" Nodding his head in praise, Zhang Ren's senior fellow disciple also felt a sense of pride, but since Zhang Ren was asleep, he didn't rush to wake him up to receive the county magistrate's compliments.

  "I have made an appointment with Wang Yue for a duel tomorrow at dawn. It can be seen that this time he came, probably to kill me!"
