In the afterglow of the setting sun, Chang Ning's unusually beautiful pupils seemed to be faintly red, and her eyelashes were almost monstrously long.
"Heaven and Earth are unkind and regard all things as stupid dogs. Either heaven and earth are like stupid dogs." He said, "If you have grievances, just avenge them, and if you have grievances, vent them. If you keep all the injustice in your heart, you will not only piss yourself to death, It’s of no use at all.”
The mountain wind in the evening blew his robes, and his tall and straight figure was like a sharp sword thrust between the rich golden-red sky and earth, proud and stunning.
With this as the boundary, the story of Chang's orphan who is cunning and cautious in order to protect himself is finished.
Chapter 25
Afterwards, I pretended to be a mother-in-law to review the matter for Mrs. Su Lian.
Upon closer inspection, it turned out that a few old love letters could not really ruin Yin Sulian's reputation. After all, the Song, Zhouyang and other families involved would save her face and try their best to cover up the matter. And no matter how much Qi Yunke cared about her, he couldn't abandon his wife on this basis, otherwise it would really prove that he was narrow-minded.
Yin Sulian was flustered, and she finally calmed down after her mother-in-law explained to her. It was just that one more thing was better than one less thing, and they did not want to provoke Cai Zhao again unless necessary.
However, Qi Lingbo didn't know the inside story at all and still begged her mother to take revenge. Yin Sulian was unwilling to tell her daughter about her inappropriate behavior when she was young, so she had to use Qi Yunke as a shield and said, "Good girl, you don't want your parents to have any quarrels again. Wait until dad It will be great if mother comes back in the future, and maybe she can give you a younger brother, so you'd better figure out a solution for Cai Zhao on your own, be good, ah.
Qi Lingbo was stunned for a long time and did not come back to his senses.
In this battle, Cai Zhao won a complete victory.
She originally thought that she could rest for a few days. In addition to practicing martial arts and concentrating, she could also adjust makeup, paint and embroidery patterns to regain her previous interest in life. Unfortunately, God didn't want her to be too idle. Mr. Chang next door filled the gap in time.
After returning from Shuanglianhuachi Palace, Chang Ning told Cai Zhao not to let anyone disturb him, and then hid in the inner room for a full night and day. When he came out, it was already the lanterns were on. After a full meal, he said he wanted to go out for a walk, and the reason was "to digest food".
The night breeze was cool, and the nineteen-year-old young man had fair skin and a tall figure. The youthfulness of his youth had gradually faded away, and he had a handsome figure. Even though his face was covered with sores, the maids in the courtyard were still blushing and secretly talking about how good it would be to see him healed in the future.
Cai Zhao was already planning to lie down and read his storybook, but his eyebrows skipped a beat when he heard Chang Ning's words: "Where are you going for a walk?"
"Follow your heart, there is nowhere to go, and you can travel freely." Chang Ning was full of energy, his eyes were full of light, and his wide sleeves slowly unfolded in the night wind, which seemed a bit like a gentleman in ancient times.
Cai Zhao didn't agree with him: "Are you going to cause trouble outside?"
Chang Ning had a smile on his face and a mysterious face: "Things come and go as people come. How can there be nothing in a place where there are people?"
Cai Zhao was too lazy to argue with him and asked directly: "How much power have you recovered today?"
"Not much, just half."
"So you can't wait even one night, and you have to go out to find trouble even with a lantern?"
Chang Ning was taking the lantern from the servant at this time, and smiled when he heard this: "Sister Zhaozhao, rest, I'll be back as soon as I go."
Cai Zhaotian fought for a long time, and finally had to follow him. It was such a hard life!
I don't know if it was because of his half-successful power, but Chang Ning walked very fast, without touching the ground along the way. He bypassed a forest in a moment and walked along the hillside for two-quarters of an hour before arriving at a large group of houses with dim lights. This is where the outer disciples live.
Cai Zhao was shocked: "You want to cause trouble for the outer disciples? But there are so many of them."
Chang Ning said smoothly: "You are too timid and afraid of getting into trouble..." Seeing Cai Zhao looking over with big eyes, he hurriedly said, "Zhao Zhao has a chivalrous heart that I cannot match, but a gentleman can do something and not do something..."
"speak English!"
"I think it's not too much to ask for some debt back from the bastards who bullied me."
Cai Zhao thought of the group of scoundrels who surrounded Qi Lingbo when he first climbed the mountains and rivers. He thought this was not the first time.
"Do you remember all those people?" Did he hold grudges so rigorously? She no longer remembered them all.
Chang Ning looked up at the sky with a pious expression: "The sky has eyes, and it will help me repay my grievances."
Then he randomly found an independent courtyard nearby, kicked open the door of one of them with his kick, and said loudly, "The sect is here to send care to everyone!"
The disciples who were reading or resting inside suddenly screamed. There were clattering footsteps, teacups falling, water basins being kicked over, shouts of questions, laughter and curses as the houses on the left and right were shaken up. The whole small courtyard became a mess.
In the cold wind outside the hospital, Cai Zhao was alone: "..." God, the sky has eyes.
Chang Ning looked calm: "Brothers, don't panic, I'm just here to find someone."
If it were a disciple from another sect, everyone might not recognize him right away, but Chang Ning’s iconic face full of malignant sores is really known to everyone on the cliffs of thousands of rivers and mountains.
Some of the disciples who were frightened out of the room were surprised and confused, some were cursing, but some asked nicely who it was.
Chang Ning said: "The man's eyes are crooked, there is a big black mole on his left cheek, and there is a tuft of hair on the mole..."
Cai Zhao thought it would not be difficult to find someone with such obvious characteristics, but who knew it would be easier than imagined.
Before Chang Ning could finish speaking, all the disciples in the courtyard glanced involuntarily and all looked to the left. They saw a skinny disciple with a big black mole on his left cheek trying to sneak into the room - it turned out that he was there. in this courtyard.
Chang Ning raised his left hand to grab the big black mole in the air. The big black mole drew an arc in the air as if it was tied to a rope, fell straight into Chang Ning's hands, and was twisted around the neck.
The big black mole grabbed Chang Ning with his right hand and said harshly: "You, you, you, what do you want to do! Don't think I will be afraid of you...ah...!" The harsh words ended with a scream.
There was a muffled sound, and the big black mole's right arm hung limply, probably broken.
The disciples were dumbfounded, and Cai Zhao was stunned.
Chang Ning wiped his right hand on the big black mole's clothes, as if he still wanted to do something.
"Hey, brother Chang Shi, don't be impulsive!" Cai Zhao hurriedly advised, "Reacting violence with violence is not a chivalrous act."
At this time, all the disciples came to their senses, and several of them, who had always been friends with the big black mole, shouted and rushed towards Chang Ning. Chang Ning threw the big black mole heavily on the ground, slapped it continuously with both palms, and his long sleeves were like flags. He was as easy as a child hitting a leather ball. In a moment, he knocked several people to the ground, making repeated ouch sounds.
Chang Ning turned to Cai Zhao and smiled: "What are you talking about Zhao Zhao? Brothers and sisters are gentle and polite to me, how can they be considered 'violent'? Only I can be considered 'violent'." He said the last four words. The pupils were slightly opened, revealing excitement.
Turning back, he said softly to everyone: "I think everyone knows the reason why I am looking for this senior brother Black Mole. It is said that every cause must have its effect, and everything has its reward. If all the senior brothers are not of the same species, please don't interfere. Yes, otherwise..."
In fact, even if he didn't say this, seeing the ferocity of his palm just now, several people who were about to pounce had already retracted their actions.
Chang Ning lifted the big black mole up to half of his body and gently patted the dust on his clothes: "Senior Brother Hei Mole, right? Senior brother's bones are so unique that I will never forget them. It's just like others, every time Qi Lingbo comes to see me I can see you, Senior Brother. Come and tell me who else you have."
The big black mole was horrified, but he couldn't help but hesitate when he thought that Qi Lingbo was the daughter of the sect master after all.
Chang Ning very considerately helped him overcome his difficulty in choosing. He pinched his right arm neatly, and the big black mole immediately let out a howl like a killing pig and said repeatedly: "Okay, okay, I say, I say. I will They will all point it out to you..."
Chang Ning's smile was gentle, but in the eyes of the big black mole, he was like an evil spirit. He stood up tremblingly, enduring the severe pain in his right arm to guide Chang Ning.
At this time, Cai Zhao was also in a dilemma. According to the rules of the world of revenge, Chang Ning's behavior seemed to be right, but she also felt that it was not good to just sit back and watch the show. By the way, why has this kind of thing never happened in Luoying Valley? She has no experience at all.
At this time, the Fan Xing family arrived panting. From a distance, they saw Chang Ning showing off his power. He dared not approach him, so he could only sneer at Cai Zhao despite his sweating profusely: "If he makes such a fuss, won't Junior Sister persuade him?"
"Senior brother is older than me, how dare my little sister be so good at it... Forget it, I won't talk nonsense." Cai Zhao stopped talking in circles, "Senior brother, don't talk so high-sounding, okay, senior brother, if you have the ability, go and persuade yourself. alright."
The Fan Xing family knew that they were not so proud, so they gritted their teeth and ran to the other side of the courtyard.
Just when Cai Zhao was hesitating, the big black mole had already guided Chang Ning very efficiently, and then the entire courtyard group of outer disciples in front was alarmed.
Taking Chang Ning's revenge spectrum as a guideline, outer disciples can be divided into three categories.
The first category is those who have learned martial arts and can be called by their names in the world. Naturally, they don't bother to be Qi Lingbo's doggy. They knew Chang Haosheng's reputation as a hero and despised those who bullied the orphans of the Chang family, but they did not dare to interfere due to Qi Lingbo's identity. At this time, Chang Ning came to regain the place. Of course, they pretended to be asleep and didn't know anything about it.
The second category is those with average cultivation. Most of them are busy practicing martial arts, but a few see their progress is slow and want to enter the inner gate by flattering Qi Lingbo.
The third category is those with insufficient talent. Among the outer disciples, they can only be regarded as head-turners. Except for some timid and kind ones, most of them have been Qi Lingbo's lackeys.
After the big black mole pointed out the first person, Chang Ning asked them to compete with who could identify the person faster and more accurately. For fear of Chang Ning being exposed, they did not dare to hide their secrets, and they identified everything in detail.
The so-called dog jumps over the wall in a hurry, not to mention that more and more dog legs are pointed out, so they want to swarm them to win with more, not to mention that there are indeed one or two experts among them who can fight. Chang Ning smiled broadly, clapped his hands, pointed his fingers, poked his legs and kicked, his clothes fluttering like crane feathers, and in a moment he overturned more than ten people.
One disciple was beaten until his nose was bruised and his face was swollen, and he yelled angrily: "If you have the guts, you go find Qi Lingbo to vent your anger! What's the point of taking on us little minions!"
Chang Ning laughed and said, "I have a sect leader, do you? I may not have the ability to settle accounts with Qi Lingbo, but I have the ability to break your dog's head, what can you do to me! What a fool, before I became someone's follower I don’t even know whether I am worthy or not!”
He was laughing and cursing, but he was also doing it with his hands.
A disciple with a Chinese character face struggled hard to come out, and said with dignity: "Mr. Chang, I have always disapproved of what Miss Qi did, and I have warned her a few times. I know you have suffered some grievances in the past few months, but Miss Qi The young lady is just a bit tempered and has not hurt you at all. Your reputation as a knight has spread far and wide, but as a son of a man, you take personal revenge. Isn’t it tarnishing your late father’s reputation?! Listen to me, let’s turn the fight into..."
Before he finished speaking, Chang Ning jumped up to him and hit him hard on the face with a 'snap' sound. His face was knocked out two feet away, his cheeks were swollen, and several teeth fell out.
Chang Ning leapt to catch up, stepped on Guozi Lian's head with one foot, and crushed him repeatedly.
"You are more hateful than others. Those little bastards know that they are doing evil, but you still want to label yourself as selfless. You pretend to be different because you want to attract Qi Lingbo's attention. Such a hypocritical tone , it’s really disgusting!”
Cai Zhao didn't like to hear what the Chinese character said, and it was quite refreshing to see him being beaten by Chang Ning - as long as you become a hero, you can only do things for others. You can't avenge yourself, right? Once you avenge yourself, you will take revenge for yourself.
The Chinese-character face was stepped on by Chang Ning and he couldn't say a word, so he could only whine for help.
At this time, another tall and thin young man who had been watching silently couldn't stand it anymore and came out with his sword in hand: "Mr. Chang, this is enough! I am not one of them, and I have never been used to the behavior of this group of people, but you are so big It’s too late to make a fuss.”
When Cai Zhao saw the tall, thin young man's sharp body movements, he knew that this man had two skills.
Chang Ning gave a short sneer and casually broke off a slender branch from a small tree nearby. He put his right hand behind his back and waved the branch out with his left hand. When the tall and thin young man saw it, he also quickly raised his sword.
The branches were soft and the sword blade was sharp. However, after the two fought, everyone saw that the green sword light was difficult to swing due to the shadow of the gray branches. An ordinary tree branch in Chang Ning's hands is as flexible as a bone-wrapped whip, but also as sharp as a thin blade like a cicada's wing. The shadows of the branches are graceful, sparse and traceless, which is Chang Haosheng's famous special skill 'Catkin Sword Technique'.
In just seven or eight moves, the tall, thin young man's face, arms, and chest were hit by branches several times, leaving blood marks or tearing his clothes. Chang Ning continued to pester impatiently, stretched out his right hand, grabbed the tall and thin young man's chest and gently threw him away. The young man fell to the ground with a muffled sound.
Chang Ning lightly waved the branch in front of him and said in a cold voice: "Don't persuade others to be kind without their suffering. You didn't stand up for the weak back then, so don't come to sing a high-key tone now! Get out of here!"
…
It was a mess outside, but inside an elegant house in the side yard, it seemed like nothing had happened.
"Uncle, aren't you going to take care of it?" Fan Xingjia wiped his sweat anxiously.
The old man on the bench was minding his own business making tea, and said in a calm tone: "I am not the only uncle of your outer sect, so why are you here to cause trouble for me alone? By the way, why don't you come to the building yourself?"
"Elder brother followed the master down the mountain but has not returned. I am the only one here."
The old man said: "You shouldn't come either."
"Uncle?" Fan Xingjia was surprised.
This old man is Uncle Li Wenxun, who is in charge of the outer disciples.
He smelled the fragrance of tea in the slender cup and showed a contented expression: "Xingjia, I recommended you to the inner gate. What did I tell you before leaving the outer gate - just follow you, Uncle Lei?" , please mind your own business."
"I, I..." Fan Xing's family was in a dilemma.
"Of course, I also know that you are in trouble. You always love to be lively and make friends with others. This is not a bad thing, but..." Li Wenxun was very patient, "You still have to learn to pretend to be deaf and dumb."
Fan Xingjia was silent for a moment: "Then, we don't care about the outside now?"
"How to care?!" Uncle Li put down the scent cup and said displeasedly, "Where did this thing start? It started when our sect master's beloved daughter has been bossing around in the sect for many years, and it started when the sect master's wife was blindly partial! Shang Liang If the beams are not straight and crooked, their inner door can’t figure it out, so what can our outer door do?”
After a pause, he said, "Don't worry about this matter. From now on, you will act like you don't know anything about this matter."
Fan Xingjia lowered his head and was at a loss.
Master Li held his shoulder with one hand and taught in a deep voice: "My mentor was Wang Dingchuan, who was one of the three elders of Qingfeng in the past. Now all the brothers are in disarray, but I am the only one who is lucky enough to be free. Today I will teach you something - "
"Xingjia, you are a good boy, don't try to please everyone. Because not everyone is worthy."
