Chapter 3 Reunion(1/2)
Although Huang Donglai looked like a scholar and was a little short, he didn't look like a martial arts practitioner at first glance, in fact, he was good at martial arts and learned all the best martial arts that were not passed down by Huangmen.
At least among his peers in the martial arts world today, Huang Donglai can be regarded as an existence at the level of "a master's gatekeeper". If this were not the case, his father would not dare to let him come out alone to do business.
"Haha... So that's it." Just as the masked man vomited blood and fell to the ground, his accomplices were in a panic, and a voice came from the carriage, "This little brother from the yellow gate, thank you for your help, but... I'll do it myself next."
After the words came to an end, the strong wind blew.
In the midst of lightning, a figure suddenly emerged from the carriage. With just a wave of his sleeves, two masked men who were closer to him fell to the ground.
Huang Donglai's eyes are not bad, but he can only barely see that this person is using "finger technique" - a finger technique that can instantly capture human life with one blow.
Of course, it is good to see this level. After all, the youngest master of the martial arts world today, Chen Youran, the young leader of the Luoyang "Zhengyi Sect".
Chen Youran is just in his early thirties this year. He is born with a grand appearance and extraordinary talent. His clothes are also very gorgeous.
This person is not only handsome, but also has handsome kung fu.
Just now, in the small space of the carriage, Chen Youran easily "clipped" all the cold arrows flying towards him with just his finger skills. Not to mention being injured, even his clothes were not cut into pieces. His martial arts are so high that it can be seen.
Sure enough, within a moment, Chen Youran had already cleaned up all the masked minions surrounding the carriage; on the other hand, the masked leader who was fighting with Chen Youran's coachman also chose to escape after seeing Chen Youran appear.
The coachman knew that there was something wrong with this matter, so he did not rush to chase him. Instead, he walked over quickly to ask Chen Youran for instructions.
"No need to chase after him." Chen Youran knew what he was going to ask, so he said directly, "I already know who sent that person. I have my own opinions on this matter, so there is no need to say much now." He said, winked at the coachman.
The coachman also understood it and knew that it was because Huang Donglai was present and their master and servant were inconvenient to speak, so he just made a promise and turned around and led his horse.
"Haha..." At this time, Chen Youran walked to Huang Donglai and said with a smile, "Thank you, this young man."
"It's easy to say, I'm just 'self-defense'." Although I've been traveling through time for more than ten years, Huang Donglai's words often pop up some words that this universe or this era does not have. Of course, this... Sun Yixie is the same.
Chen Youran looked up and down Huang Donglai, who was bowing to him, and asked, "Look at the age of the young hero, it is the Huangmen method again. If Chen reads it right... Are you Huang Donglai, the young master of the Huang family?"
"That's right." Huang Donglai was called famous, and he was quite surprised. He immediately said, "But I wonder if you are, senior?"
"Oh? You don't know me?" Chen Youran was also a little surprised.
"I first came out of the world. Maybe I have heard of the title of my senior, but I can't recognize my appearance, so I hope to give you advice." If Huang Donglai wanted to speak so well, he could still say that this was also a better place than Sun Yixie. At least he has read books seriously in this world for several years, not the level of "not knowing big words".
To put it short, Chen Youran revealed his identity to Huang Donglai and briefly explained his purpose for coming to Hangzhou this time - it turned out that he was also going to visit Sun's Mansion.
The two found that they had the same destination and were both from the right path of martial arts, so they decided to go together.
In order to avoid unnecessary trouble when entering the city, they took the horse off the carriage, asked the driver to lead it, and then gave the carriage full of arrow holes to the teahouse owner. As for whether the boss later chopped it as firewood or had any other purpose, they ignored it.
This place is not far from Hangzhou City. Shen Youran, Huang Donglai and the coachman are all from Jianjiazi, and it will not take long to walk.
That night, they successfully entered the city when the city gate was closed, but in order to avoid abruptness, they did not go to Sun's mansion immediately, but found an inn and stayed in.
The next morning, the coachman Chen Youran took a letter of worship written by the owner last night and sent it to the Sun Mansion, informing the master Chen Youran and Mr. Huang Donglai that he would go to visit Mr. Sun in the afternoon.
After Sun Yuanwai received the visitation letter, he didn't think much about it. Because Huang Donglai was the son of his old friend, he regarded it as his own family. Although he had only heard of this, he didn't know him, but since he came with Huang Donglai, he probably was a friend of his fellow travelers.
So, Mr. Sun ordered his servants to prepare a banquet at home, and called his son, Sun Yixi together to prepare to welcome guests.
In the afternoon, Chen Youran sent his coachman out, saying that he wanted to buy a new carriage, while he himself went to Sun's mansion with Huang Donglai.
As soon as the two entered the gate of Sun's mansion, Mr. Sun personally brought his son out of the front hall. Unexpectedly... When both sides were still seven or eight meters away (the front yard of the large family was large), Huang Donglai and Sun Yixie only met one eye and both screamed in shock.
"Ah!" They opened their mouths almost at the same time, widened their eyes, and raised their hand and pointed at each other, "You..."
Obviously, they recognized each other.
Although one of them is Sun Yixie and the other is Huang Donglai, their appearance is exactly the same as their younger version in the original world, with different hairstyles; they have known each other for so many years, and there is no reason not to recognize them.
After seventeen years, the two of them suddenly saw the person they met before traveling through time and were very surprised. And when they saw each other's reaction, they immediately understood that the other party should be in the same situation as themselves.

"What?" Two seconds later, Mr. Sun slapped his son on the back of the head, "Is there anyone who treats guests like this?"
Of course, Mr. Sun just acted like a person and didn't really hit hard.
Sun Yixie was hit by this "head-click" and quickly came to her senses and smiled and said, "Haha... Yes, the child is excited." He then stepped forward and bowed his fists, saying to Chen and Huang, "Sun Yixie has met the leader of the sect, Mr. Huang... Please."
Chen Youran smiled, replied calmly, then stepped forward and greeted Mr. Sun for a few words. Then he slowly walked into the front hall with Mr. Sun.
Huang Donglai and Sun Yixie followed them, winking and lowering their voices and saying a lot of words like a quarrel, but they didn't say anything for the time being.
The four of them came to the front hall and sat down one after another. Chen Youran made a few more polite words, and then he explained his purpose to Mr. Sun.
As a result, as soon as Chen Youran said something, the other three people present were stunned - he actually came to invite Sun Yixi to participate in the "Youth Heroes Club".
This so-called "Young Heroes Club" is a martial arts event held every four years in Luoyang City during the Mid-Autumn Festival.
As the name suggests, the conference invited young heroes from all over the world to gather here, and passed the civil and military competition to determine the leader of this session.
As long as you are a decent man, who is over 16 or under 20 years old, no matter you are a newbie or a person who has made some famous names in the world, you may be invited. Of course, under normal circumstances, young heroes or female heroes who have left some deeds in the world are more likely to be invited, and no ordinary disciples who are not well-known will think of anyone going to invite them.
But there are exceptions... For example, if you are a descendant of a famous family and a single child, just like Huang Donglai, then you may be invited even if you have never been in the world.
However... Sun Yixie does not seem to meet any of the above situations.
Although the Sun family has certain contacts with the people in the martial arts world, they have been doing business for several generations. So strictly speaking, Sun Yixie is not a person in the martial arts world at all. He is a dominant fish market in Hangzhou. If he takes a step back, even if he is barely considered a "famous family", he only knows a few sets of turtle fists that he learns from the farmer style, and does not have any serious martial arts at all. It will be useless if he goes there.
"Master Chen, are you wrong?" After hearing Chen Youran's words, Sun Yuanwai was also very confused. "My Sun family has not been involved in the martial arts world for a long time. Besides... the dog son cannot succeed in his literary talent, and the martial arts are not worth it..."
"Oh~ Mr. Sun is too humble." Chen Youran interrupted Mr. Sun with a smile and continued, "Young Master Ling's talent and deeds, let alone the Jiangnan generation, look at the entire martial arts world, who doesn't know?" He paused, "Last year when I chatted with Master Cao of Qingzhou Salt Gang, he sighed to me... 'Give birth to a child like Sun Yixie'. In my opinion, young and promising young people like Mr. Ling are fully qualified to attend the Youth Heroes Club."
"Oh? Is there such a thing?" Mr. Sun was so weak. He was quite happy when he heard that he praised his son like this, and his attitude seemed to be a little loose.
Seeing this, Chen Youran took advantage of the situation and said again: "It's true that I personally invited you to invite me to attend the meeting, firstly to invite Mr. Ling to attend, and secondly to explain this matter to you." He paused and continued, "This year's Youth Heroes Conference is just the turn of my Luoyang Zhengyi Sect to host. As the leader of the Zhengyi Sect, I have the right to invite any young hero I think is qualified to participate in the conference based on my personal judgment... And Mr. Ling is one of the candidates I think can be participated in the meeting in an extraordinary way."
"Ha!" Sun Yixie smiled proudly after hearing this, "Sect Master Chen is worthy of being a dragon and a phoenix among people, he really has vision."
Before he finished speaking, Huang Donglai next to him couldn't help it.
"Brother Chen, think about it clearly." Huang Donglai quickly said to Chen Youran, "I think your understanding of Brother Sun is still a bit biased. Don't just listen to it and lead the wolf into the house..."
"Shut up!" The rhythmic feeling of Mr. Sun and Mr. Huang complained about each other was deeply rooted in their bones, so Sun Yixie almost blurted out, "Why can't I go? Are you jealous?"
"I'm jealous!" Huang Donglai also turned to look at Sun Yixie and replied without showing any weakness, "I'm afraid you will be beaten to death if you go!"
"Haha..." Chen Youran was amused by the two young men and said with a smile, "Don't joke, two young heroes. The civil and military competition of the Young Heroes Association is just a exchange of exchanges, and is not a life-and-death bet. Especially the martial arts test, it will always be a point, so how can it hurt people's lives?"
At this point, Chen Youran seemed to remember something, paused for a moment, and added: "Oh, Mr. Huang, you are also among the invitees of the Young Heroes Club; we had sent a letter to the Huangmen a month ago. I think you had left home before that, so you didn't know that you were invited, right?"
"Is that?" Huang Donglai has been away from home for several months. He really doesn't know, "Ha! That's OK, I just want to see you." He said, touching Sun Yixie, who was sitting next to him with his elbow, "Brother Sun, since that's the case, then you can come too. If it really doesn't work, I can protect you."
"Get out! I still use you to protect me?" Sun Yixie said with a lip voice, "I can protect myself."
Mr. Sun saw his son and his old friend's son inexplicably "familiar with each other". He seemed to have a good relationship, and he was a little confused, so he could only think it was a good thing.
He thought for a while and recited: "Well... it's not a bad thing to let him know more."
"Dad, let's do it." Seeing that his father was still a little hesitant, Sun Yixie said, "Are you not at ease with me? Isn't it just a trip to Luoyang? It's okay."
This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content behind! Sun Yixie wants to go to this conference now, because he was just touted by Chen Youran, which made him a little bit arrogant; and secondly, because he heard that Huang Donglai was going, he also wanted to join in the fun; as for the third... He has been in this world for more than ten years and hasn't really left Hangzhou City, so he wants to go out and open his eyes.
Seeing that his son had made such a statement, Mr. Sun thought that although his son was ignorant of his big words and was not good at martial arts, his mind was still quite flexible. With the son of the Huang family, he should not suffer any major losses, so he agreed.
Things were settled, but at this time, there was still some time before the Mid-Autumn Festival, so they were not in a hurry to set off.
The leader of the Shen Sect was busy and he was about to leave the next day, but Huang Donglai had nothing to do, so he decided to live in Sun's house for a while, and then he would go to Luoyang with Sun Yixie, and just send a letter from his own house to say hello.
That night, everyone had a drink and a banquet in Sun's mansion.
Mr. Sun had read the letters brought by Huang Donglai before the dinner. When he saw his old friend's handwriting, he was in a good mood. He drank a few more drinks, but he couldn't bear to drink and took a break early. When the Xu hour was about to end, Chen Youran also said goodbye and returned to the inn.
So, Sun Yixie and Huang Donglai were left on the table.
At this time, they could finally say a few words that could only be said between "time travelers".
"Damn, I thought I would never see people from that world in my life. If I had known that you would have traveled through time, we two would have met earlier." Huang Donglai had already drunk a few more glasses, but the wine of that era was not very popular due to distillation technology.
"Oh~ it's all good things." Sun Yixie said, "Since we meet now, we can get together again in the future. If nothing else... That young hero will definitely become famous immediately with the strength of your and my brothers."
"Puff--" Huang Donglai spit out the wine in his mouth at that time, "Brother Sun, are you thinking too much?" He glanced at Sun Yixi with contemptuous eyes, "I just found out as soon as I sat down today. You don't know how to do martial arts at all, right?"
"Mao!" Sun Yixie said stubbornly, "Have I learned it well?"
"Mao!" Huang Donglai said to Mao, "I have learned it, so you can see at a glance that you have no internal strength."
"Shenma?" Sun Yixie's voice was even higher, "Is there any internal force in this world?"
"Nonsense! Did you just know?" Huang Donglai said.
Sun Yixi's eyes rolled, and did not reply to the question, but asked back: "Then do you have internal strength?"
"Of course I have internal strength." Huang Donglai replied in a natural tone, "Hey, you said I finally came to a world with unique martial arts skills and the conditions for learning. What reason do I have not practice hard?"
"Okay!" Sun Yixie slapped the table after hearing this, "Since that's the case, brothers are in trouble now. Should you pass on my skills for ten or eight years to share with me? Is there a blessing for everyone?"
"Get out! I'll pass on your sister!" Huang Donglai said, "I started practicing martial arts at the age of five. I have been practicing for a year and just learned how to let my breath travel throughout the meridians of the body. Only then did I start to produce internal strength. I have only been practicing for ten years. Do you want me to pass on you for ten or eight years? Are you a human?"
"Then it won't take ten years, one of us brothers is half, five years will it be fine?" Sun Yixie began to bargain.
"Go to die!" Huang Donglai took another sip of wine, "Not to mention that I didn't know how to operate 'internal power and external power', even if I do, people like you who don't even understand the basic breathing method have all the meridians on their bodies, and they cannot accept the transmission of power at all. If someone else loses a lot of internal energy on you, you will explode and die, okay?"
"Damn!" Sun Yixie cursed unhappily when she heard that there was no chance, and sipped her wine, "Then there is no shortcut to go?"
"Nonsense, have you watched too many TV series?" Huang Donglai said, "There is no shortcut to practicing martial arts. Unless you are a genius and talented, you are considered awesome; otherwise you have to start with basic skills. Without a foundation, you will be useless even if you meet an old man who wants to give you skills."
"What do you think about Xu Zhu? He doesn't have much qualifications. He just became awesome after he passed on his skills for hundreds of years." Sun Yixie said dissatisfied.
