Chapter 108: Swordsman Shen Qingyun
After the old man finished washing, he changed into a set of clean and tidy clothes. He looked brand new, no longer sloppy as before. He tied his hair up high, and cleaned up his messy beard, revealing a handsome face that amazed everyone. No matter who saw him like this, they could not imagine that he used to be as sloppy as a beggar.
"Girl, bring up the delicious dishes quickly! I've heard that the crayfish at Sihai Restaurant is superb, and there are also fine wines. Hurry and present them to me!" The old man stared at Yun Yuxi with a smile, his eyes flashing with anticipation.
Yun Yuxi widened her eyes and said in surprise: "Old man, you are so handsome! Oh no, it should be said uncle. But where is the man in black with his face covered?" She was full of curiosity and eager to know the answer.
"Hey, I just picked it up on the road." The old man smiled smugly, and then pulled a boy out from behind. The boy looked at Yun Yuxi innocently, obviously a little afraid that Yun Yuxi would settle the score later.
Soon, the table was filled with sumptuous food and fine wine. The old man happily ate and drank, enjoying the happiness brought by the food. However, the boy did not dare to pick up his chopsticks easily, and could only look at the old man with grievance, waiting for instructions.
"Eat it, boy, I don't eat people," the old man said incoherently with food in his mouth.
The two of them ate at a speed as fast as if they were fighting. After a while, they finished the food on the table. The old man burped and said, "Finally, I have a hot meal. It feels good." Then he picked up a toothpick to pick his teeth.
Yun Yuxi looked at the two funny guys and said in a good mood, "Old man, now that you have eaten and drunk enough, shouldn't you explain why you insisted on calling me your apprentice and why you gave me the secret book of Qingyun Sword Technique? What is our relationship?..."
Yun Yuxi threw out all the doubts in her mind, looked into the old man's eyes, and waited for his answer.
The old man glanced at the young man, and the young man immediately went out to guard outside the door. Looking at the old man's serious expression, Yun Yuxi knew that what the old man was going to say next might be very important.
"Girl, I am your mother Mu Wanqing's senior brother. Your mother and I have worshipped the old man Tianshan as our master since we were young in Lingtai Mountain. My name is Shen Qingyun?"
"Shen Qingyun? Is that the famous swordsman Shen Qingyun? Do you know my mother?" Yun Yuxi found it hard to believe that this old man was the swordsman Shen Qingyun. The main reason was that the old man's previous image quickly made people believe that he was the famous swordsman in the world.
"Girl. Your mother returned to the capital when she was fifteen. She got married suddenly. I left the mountains to travel early. I went to a very far place. It took me half a year to return to the Great Yan Dynasty. But I learned that your mother was gone. Girl, who killed your mother?"
Yun Yuxi slowly told everything she knew.
Shen Qingyun was furious, his eyes were red, "Girl, you have suffered so much, you must avenge your mother. If I had not gone out to travel and came back sooner, maybe your mother would not have died."
Yun Yuxi always had the memories of the original owner, and felt sad in her heart. She touched her chest and said to herself, "Don't worry, I will avenge my mother. I will investigate it thoroughly and let the prime minister be buried with her."
"Girl, are you willing to be my disciple?" Shen Qingyun suddenly said.
"Master, please accept my disciple's greetings," said the swordsman. Yun Yuxi knelt on the ground like a servile boy and swiftly raised the teacup to offer him a toast.
Old man, take the teacup and drink it, and the ceremony of becoming a disciple is complete.
"Master. What are your plans for the future? Come and live in the palace with your disciple. I will be filial to you," Yun Yuxi said with a smile.
"Girl. Master will be away for a while, so I'll leave the boy outside to you. Although his martial arts skills are not that good, you can use him, so at least you can rest assured," Shen Qingyun said with a smile, taking out a book from his chest and throwing it to Yun Yuxi.
Yun Yuxi took it and looked at it, she was immediately delighted, she saw the words Qingyun Sword Technique written on the cover, Yun Yuxi understood, what she had learned before was the basic version, this was the real Qingyun Sword Technique.
"Thank you, Master," Yun Yuxi smiled, took out a handful of banknotes from her bosom, stuffed them into Shen Qingyun's hands, and then said, "Master, don't worry, I have plenty of money. This money is for your honor. When you are away from home, you must eat and drink well. If there is anything, please send a message back."
Shen Qingyun looked at the banknotes in his hand and couldn't help but sigh in his heart: This disciple is really generous! He smiled and nodded, then turned to look at the young man standing at the door and shouted: "Boy, come in!"
Hearing Shen Qingyun's cry, the young man walked into the room slowly, looked at Shen Qingyun with a helpless look, and complained: "Old man, you don't want to let me go again? Let me tell you, I have no money, and I don't know where to go."
Shen Qingyun smiled slightly, pointed at Yun Yuxi, and said to the young man: "Boy, from now on you will follow this lady. As long as you listen to her, she will make sure you have everything you want. She has plenty of money. As for me, I need to go out recently, and I'm not sure when I'll be back."
After hearing what Shen Qingyun said, the boy's eyes lit up, and he immediately walked up to Yun Yuxi, looked at her carefully, and asked with a smile: "Hey, will you really take care of my food and accommodation in the future? I can eat a lot, and I want to eat meat. Also, I want some new clothes to wear. After all, how can a handsome guy like me not have beautiful clothes?" As he said that, the boy touched his cheek proudly.
Yun Yuxi's mouth twitched and she asked, "What's your name? I guarantee you'll have enough to eat and drink, but you have to listen to me. Okay?"
"I can listen to you, but... I don't know my name!" The boy scratched his head awkwardly, "When I woke up, I saw that weird old man next to me. I can't remember anything else."
Yun Yuxi raised her eyebrows and suddenly thought of a good idea: "Okay, in that case, you will be called Yunyang from now on. You have the same surname as me, so you are my younger brother. Remember, from now on, you have to listen to me, okay?" She smiled slyly and successfully fooled the naive boy.
Yun Yang nodded repeatedly and responded obediently, "Okay, I understand, sister." His clear eyes looked at Yun Yuxi eagerly, and he continued to say pitifully, "Sister, I haven't eaten enough yet. I just couldn't win the food against that old man." After saying that, he put on a look of extreme grievance, which made people feel pity for him.
Yun Yuxi sighed helplessly, took Yun Yang's hand and said, "Let's go, let's go find Ling Yi and the others." So, the two walked out of the inn together and began to look around on the busy streets. Along the way, Yun Yuxi tasted all kinds of food with great interest, while Yun Yang followed her closely, his eyes always on her, as if he was afraid that she would suddenly disappear.
