Chapter 631 Wang Yuyan

Mantuo Villa is quite large, with a large number of servants and maids, many of whom are proficient in martial arts.

If an ordinary person from the martial arts world sets foot in this place, it would be extremely difficult for him to walk around without being noticed.

But with Chai Xin's ability, it was extremely easy.

It is no exaggeration to say that his lightness skill has reached the pinnacle.

Just relying on the martial arts skills of these people in the villa, even if he passed by them, they might not be able to detect it.

After a little effort, Chai Xin found the location of the Langhuan Blessed Land, avoided the guards' eyes, and sneaked in safely.

The layout here is almost the same as that in Wuliang Mountain, with rows of bookshelves standing side by side, but they are no longer empty, but are filled with various books.

Each bookshelf is labeled with labels, such as "Shaolin School", "Kongtong School", "Beggars' Sect"...

However, things like the Shaolin School's "Yi Jin Jing", the Beggars' Sect's "Eighteen Palms of the Dragon Subduing", and the Dali Duan family's "One Yang Finger" and "Six Meridians Divine Sword" are still not here.

This is not surprising. After all, it is the core secret skill of each sect. Those who can practice it in the sect are all important figures.

Even for the Xiaoyao Sect, obtaining those unique skills is still as difficult as ascending to heaven.

However, the various martial arts here are enough for Chai Xin.

He immediately went to a bookshelf marked "Secrets of Our Sect" and found nine secret books in total, including "Tianshan Plum Blossom Hand", "Tianshan Six Yang Palm", "White Rainbow Palm Power", "Northern Sea Divine Art", "Eight Desolations and Six Harmonies, I Am the Only One Art", "Small Formless Art", "Sound Transmission and Soul Searching Art", "Lingbo Light Steps" and "Life and Death Talisman".

It can be said that these nine secret manuals have brought together the Xiaoyao Sect's best martial arts, and even the sect's unique skills.

In fact, the three Xiaoyao elders only know a part of these unique skills. In other words, when they were young, their masters taught them different martial arts according to their abilities.

For example, Wuyazi practiced "Northern Divine Art", "Tianshan Six Yang Palm", and "Lingbo Weibu".

I guess he has never practiced things like "White Rainbow Palm Power" and "Life and Death Talisman".

The reason why the secret book is here is probably because after he succeeded to the position of the headmaster, he inherited all the books in the sect.

Of course, with his martial arts skills at that time, he would not deliberately practice other martial arts. There was really no need for that.

Just like Chai Xin now, the reason why he collects martial arts from all over the world is just to draw inferences from one instance to another, so that he can gain some insights into his own martial arts.

If Wuyazi was in his forties or fifties and still practiced the "White Rainbow Palm Power" or the "Eighteen Palms of the Dragon Subduing" of the Beggar Gang, he would be putting the cart before the horse and neglecting his own understanding.

In fact, for someone like Jiumozhi, whose own martial arts skills have already reached a high level, it is like seeking fish in a tree to seek the core skills of various sects in the world. It is not an exaggeration to say that it is an evil path.

It's a pity that there have always been many such people in the world, such as Xiao Yuanshan and Murong Bo who hid in the Shaolin Temple's Sutra Library for decades, and Ouyang Feng, Huang Yaoshi and other top figures who fought for a copy of the "Nine Yin Scriptures". Aren't they all like this?

But have the true masters, such as Wang Chongyang, Zhang Sanfeng, and the Sweeping Monk, ever coveted other people's martial arts?
In fact, with their military power, which sect in this world can stop them from coming to their homes and robbing them?

But they never had such a thought, let alone act.

For those grandmasters, no other martial arts in the world is more important than adhering to one's own "Tao".

Therefore, Wang Chongyang took the "Nine Yin Scriptures" into the grave not for his own selfish reasons, but because he wanted to stop the disputes in the martial arts world; the Sweeping Monk would regard the "stealing skills" behavior of Xiao Yuanshan and Murong Bo as entering the devil's way.

In a very short time, Chai Xin read almost all the unique skills of various schools on the bookshelf. With his photographic memory, he naturally memorized them all.

Afterwards, he quietly left Langhuan Blessed Land and returned to the room arranged for him by the maid.

Sitting cross-legged on the couch, Chai Xin began to recall the large number of martial arts secrets he had just read, absorbing and comprehending them carefully, and trying to get a glimpse of the secrets from them.

At this moment, he suddenly heard a long sigh outside the door. Although the sound was very light, he could hear the words clearly with his hearing ability.

"My cousin has been thinking about the revival of Dayan all day long, but he has never paid attention to me. This time he is traveling with his people, and I don’t know when he will return..."

After hearing this, Chai Xin understood and knew exactly who this person was.

But he paid no attention to it, and immediately regained his focus and continued to organize the information on various martial arts schools in his mind.

However, not long after, another sound of footsteps was heard.

"Madam Wang is truly an elegant person. The layout of this Mantuo Villa is so exquisite that it can truly be called a paradise on earth..."

The voice was heavily drunk and Chai Xin knew it was Duan Yu as soon as he heard it.

As the night grew darker, Mrs. Wang finally let Duan Yu go and ordered someone to take him to a side room to rest.

Duan Yu was supported by a servant and led by a maid. He never forgot to look at the scenery while walking and uttered a few words of admiration from time to time.

Suddenly, he stopped and looked straight ahead. He felt his knees go weak due to the alcohol and excitement and he fell to the ground involuntarily.

Fortunately, he had deep internal strength and managed to hold on. Otherwise, he would have almost kowtowed. He finally cried out, "Fairy Sister, I...I miss you so much! Disciple Duan Yu, I pay my respects to the Master."

But he saw a young girl standing in a pavilion in the distance, gazing at the bright moon hanging in the sky. Under the bright moonlight, Duan Yu could see her beautiful face clearly.

If it was just her beauty, Duan Yu would not have lost his composure like this, but the girl's appearance was exactly the same as the jade statue in the stone cave of Wuliang Mountain.

Especially under the reflection of the white moonlight, her skin is crystal clear, just like a jade statue!
In Duan Yu's opinion, Mrs. Wang was quite similar to the jade statue, but after all, they were of different ages and her appearance was not as good as the jade statue.

But the girl in front of him, apart from her clothing, was exactly the same as the jade statue in terms of face shape, facial features, and body posture. It was as if the jade statue had come back to life.

For a moment, Duan Yu felt as if he was in a dream. The jade statue that he had been thinking about turned into a living person. All the words he wanted to say were stuck in his throat and he couldn't utter any more.

That girl was naturally Li Qingluo’s daughter, Wang Yuyan.

Wang Yuyan was watching the moon accompanied by two maids, missing her cousin Murong Fu, and did not notice when Duan Yu appeared.

Seeing him kneel down suddenly and call him "Master", Wang Yuyan was immediately startled. She thought a madman had come. She couldn't help but let out a cry and took two steps back, asking in surprise: "You... who are you?"

When Duan Yu heard her words, he suddenly came to his senses, stood up from the ground, and walked quickly towards the pavilion.

During the whole process, his eyes were fixed on Wang Yuyan. As the distance got closer, he could see more clearly.

He finally realized that the girl in front of him was somewhat different from the jade statue in the cave.

The jade statue is indeed extraordinary, charming and attractive, with a soul-stirring look.
But the girl in front of him was dignified with a hint of childishness, quiet and elegant, obviously a quiet and introverted lady from a noble family.

In comparison, the jade statue looks more lively than the girl in front of him.

Duan Yu realized that he had just offended the beauty, and immediately calmed down and said in a calm tone: "Since that day in the stone cave, I met the fairy sister, and I have been celebrating my good fortune. I didn't expect that I could see the sister's face with my own eyes today. There are really fairies in the world, and the ancients were not deceiving me!" Wang Yuyan really couldn't understand what he was talking about, so she looked at the maid next to Duan Yu and asked: "Ayun, what is he talking about? Who is he?"

The maid Ayun bowed and replied, "This is the distinguished guest that Madam has invited to the banquet, Mr. Duan from the Kingdom of Dali."

After that, she took a few quick steps, came close to Wang Yuyan, and whispered in her ear: "This man claims to be the prince of Dali Zhennan. He was very knowledgeable and polite during the dinner. Maybe he drank too much and is a little drunk now."

"The guest my mother is inviting? The prince of Zhennan in Dali?"

Wang Yuyan was a little dazed after hearing this.

She was naturally aware of her mother's temper. Not only was she cruel and ruthless, she also hated the people of Dali, especially the man named Duan, and wanted to get rid of him as soon as possible.

Why is it that today, a man named Duan from Dali, who is the prince of Zhennan Prince of Dali, is being entertained so warmly at a banquet?

I have to say, things are a little unusual.

"This boy Duan Yu is from Dali."

Duan Yu had extraordinary internal strength, and even at such a close distance, he could actually hear the whispers between the maid and Wang Yuyan, and he knew that he had really lost his composure.

So he simply used the power of "Six Meridians Divine Sword" to force the alcohol out from his fingertips, and it flowed silently down his trouser legs.

He quickly used his internal energy to evaporate all the wine on his trouser legs, in case he was mistaken for having wet his pants, which would be even more offensive to the beauty and extremely embarrassing.

Suddenly, a scent of wine spread out, and Duan Yu immediately became much more sober.

There were also various kinds of flowers planted all around, and the fragrance of the flowers covered up most of the smell of alcohol. Except for the servant who was supporting Duan Yu and shrugged his nose in surprise, no one else noticed it.

"It turns out to be Mr. Duan. It is Yuyan who is being rude. I hope you can forgive me."

Wang Yuyan was only slightly surprised, but she did not delve into her mother's thoughts. After all, she was still concerned about her cousin.

"Excellent! Excellent! She is so charming and amiable! The name Miss Wang is indeed worthy of the name!"

After Duan Yu sobered up, he regained some of the demeanor of a Dali royal family member when speaking, and was no longer as absent-minded and out of tune as before.

"As for names, they should always sound nice. The names of the most treacherous and evil people in history were also very beautiful. Cao Cao was not necessarily virtuous, and Zhu Quanzhong was extremely disloyal."

Wang Yuyan was relieved to see that he was back to normal. She just thought that he was drunk and had lost his composure after drinking, so she smiled.

Duan Yu heard her joking remark. The playfulness in her words made it seem more like the jade statue, and he couldn't help but feel moved again.

Just as he was about to say more to the beauty, he heard Wang Yuyan say apologetically, "It's late at night, and it's time to rest. Please go ahead, Mr. Duan."

Although Duan Yu was reluctant to let her go, he didn't want to try to keep her. After all, it was their first meeting, and they were a single man and a single woman, so it was indeed a bit inappropriate to be together under the moonlight.

Therefore, he could only say, "Yes, Miss Wang, please do as you wish."

After Wang Yuyan left, he was no longer in a hurry, thinking to himself: "Since we have already met, it must be fate destined by heaven, why rush it?"

So, led by the maid, she went into the side room to rest.

Naturally, all of this was heard clearly by Chai Xin who was meditating in the room.

But he was too lazy to pay attention to these and didn't take them to heart at all.

Nothing happened that night, and in the blink of an eye it was already the next morning.

Li Qingluo ordered people to prepare a variety of exquisite breakfasts early in the morning and asked Chai Xin and others to go and have the meal.

Then, a very interesting scene appeared at the dinner table.

Li Qingluo and Duan Yu were testing each other. One kept asking about the other's father's recent situation in a roundabout way; the other was also asking about the other's daughter in a roundabout way.

"Mr. Duan, how is your family doing recently? Are your parents healthy and on good terms?"

"Madam Wang, are there any children in your house? Why don't you invite them out to see you?"

"Mr. Duan, how long do you plan to stay here? When will you leave for Dali?"

"Madam Wang, how old are your children? Are they married?"

……

After such a conversation, not to mention Chai Xin, even the young Yang Guo sensed that something was wrong.

However, both of them acted as if it had nothing to do with them. They just focused on eating breakfast and pretended not to notice the strangeness of the two people.

Gradually, Li Qingluo and Duan Yu also felt something was wrong, so they spoke less and became more polite.

In short, with Li Qingluo's enthusiastic retention and Duan Yu's eager cooperation, Chai Xin and his friends decided to stay in Mantuo Villa for a while.

Chai Xin had no objection. He had just obtained many secret books from various sects from the Langhuan Blessed Land and it was time to digest them.

Stay here for ten days or so, until everything is sorted out, and then it won’t be too late to continue your journey.

What's more, he had no clear goal in his travels, so it's not an exaggeration to say that he just went with the flow.

Now, following important characters of "Demi-Gods and Semi-Devils" such as Duan Yu and Wang Yuyan, he can participate more in the plot, which is perfectly in line with his original intention.

Soon, half a month passed.

Chai Xin had already sorted out and thoroughly understood all the martial arts information he had obtained, and began to comprehend martial arts that were unique to him.

On the other hand, Duan Yu got to know Wang Yuyan as he wished. In the gardens of Mantuo Villa, they could often be seen planting flowers and grass together, chatting and laughing.

However, what made Duan Yu a little disappointed was that he had already noticed that Wang Yuyan seemed to have someone in her heart - the cousin she often mentioned, Murong Fu.

To Duan Yu, this is indeed a powerful rival in love.

Murong Fu is a famous young talent in the martial arts world, and most importantly, he and Wang Yuyan are childhood sweethearts.

However, he was only slightly disappointed and then cheered himself up again - no matter what, being able to meet Wang Yuyan was already a good thing for him.
