"What?" Ye Hao widened his eyes at Cheng Dao. Was there really such a senior master at Wudang?
"Cheng Dao, is what you're saying true?" Ye Hao looked at Cheng Dao incredulously and asked.
"Of course, it's true. But except for my master, great master, and grand master, nobody else knows about the existence of our grand patriarch. He has always been in the Wudang Scripture Pavilion, reading scriptures daily. If you saw our grand patriarch in his youth, you wouldn't believe, even if beaten to death, that he is nearly three hundred years old." Cheng Dao admitted that even he initially couldn't believe Grand Patriarch Yi Yang was nearly three hundred years old.
"Then isn't he from the Qing Dynasty? And around when the third emperor, Yong Zheng, reigned?" Ye Hao widened his eyes, asking in disbelief.
"I don't know about that. I only heard from my master that the grand patriarch is nearly three hundred years old and has imnse power, but I've never seen him use martial arts." Cheng Dao shook his head and said helplessly.
"Alright! I must visit Master Yi Yang if I get the chance." Ye Hao smiled.
Afterward, the two discussed information about foreign martial sects coming to challenge them. When Ye Hao learned that those challenging him were all above the tenth level in National Martial Arts, he was filled with fighting spirit. This was the kind of effect he wanted; if they were too weak, they wouldn't be worth fighting at all.
As night began to fall, the girls slowly woke up.
Ji Keci and Chen Shuyan had to rush to class the next day, so they woke up without even eating and went straight to school to catch up on sleep.
Tan Rong, a diligent school beauty, although ranked fourth, never cared about these rankings. She only knew to study well, so after waking up, she bid farewell to Ye Hao.
Ye Qingcheng was called back by Ye Tian's phone call, and Ye Hao didn't keep her much longer, instead letting Shangguan Longyi take her ho.
In the end, when most people had left, Nangong Tianxiang remained at Dragon and Phoenix Castle.
Wu Xiao was a long-term guest, so nobody asked when he would leave.
Although Nangong Tianxiang wanted to stay a few more days at Dragon and Phoenix Castle, her concert tour had ended, and the celebratory drink had yet to be had. So she hurried ho, as she had agreed with Yao Xueling to hold a celebration banquet three days after the concert ended.
"Ruyu, Ni, Zhu, Qingqing, Xiao Xiao, Tingting, Xue, Mrs. Sun i, Yueyue, Sir Zheng, Martial Fool, Brother Cheng Dao, I have to go ho now. Thank you all for giving a happy birthday. Although it was both thrilling and joyous, I loved it." Nangong Tianxiang waved goodbye to Lin Ruyu and the others at the entrance of Dragon and Phoenix Castle.
"Co often when you have ti to play." Lin Ruyu held Nangong Tianxiang's hand and said.
"I will. I'll co and play with everyone whenever I have ti." Nangong Tianxiang smiled and hugged Lin Ruyu. Although they had only known each other for a day, they had ford a deep bond.
"Okay." Everyone watched as Nangong Tianxiang got into Ye Hao's Hennessey Venom.
Ye Hao initially planned to have Shangguan Longyi accompany Nangong Tianxiang, but after the earlier chat, Ye Hao suspected that Nangong Tianxiang had deep ties with him and might be a descendant of his first fad master.
Although Ye Hao didn't perform a formal disciple ceremony with this master, he had always regarded him as his ntor. So, Ye Hao did his best to find his descendants to pass on the secret body technique to the Nangong clan.
"Hao, take care." The girls watched Ye Hao and advised him.
"Got it, I'll be back soon." Ye Hao smiled, then drove off with Nangong Tianxiang towards Shanghai.
The Nangong family's history was said to have been in Xuzhou during the Three Kingdoms era, now Suqian City, not Shanghai. But Shanghai's later developnt showed the family the potential of flourishing their family's calligraphy there, prompting their relocation. Their patriarch during that era excelled in Shanghai, and the only fad calligrapher in Shanghai back then was from the Nangong family.
That's how the Nangong family ended up residing in Shanghai. But, as Nangong Tianxiang ntioned, they still have an old site and so branch family mbers living in Suqian.
Upon hearing this, Ye Hao preliminarily confird that Nangong Tianxiang was a descendant of Nangong Tianhou. During that period, Nangong Tianhou returned to Xuzhou from overseas with the secret body technique.
His joining Liu Bei's camp was secret, so his descendants' history didn't record him.
Ye Hao drove the Hennessey Venom briskly along the highway, lighting a cigarette while the thought of the Nangong family surfaced, hinting he could soon have one less concern.
"Hao, what are you thinking about?" Nangong Tianxiang asked from the passenger seat.
"Haha, I might have found the descendants of my ntor." Ye Hao smiled. Although Nangong Tianhou didn't provide practical teachings to Ye Hao, he inherited the secret body technique. If not for this body technique, Ye Hao might have perished long ago.
"ntor? What ntor?" Nangong Tianxiang asked, puzzled.
"You might not know even if I told you. I'll need to see your family's Flowing Water Score first." Ye Hao smiled.
"Are you sure you want to see our Flowing Water Score? It traces back to the Three Kingdoms period. Can you finish it?" Nangong Tianxiang teased with a smile.
"I just need to see the first few ancestors at the start of your family history."
"Then there's no need to look. I'll tell you straight. My family's first ancestor is nad Nangong Tianrang." Nangong Tianxiang recalled the first few ancestors, but not much about those after.
Ye Hao shook his head upon hearing this and asked, "What about the second one?"
"The second one is Nangong Tianyi."
Ye Hao shook his head again and asked, "Not him. What about the third one?"
"The third is Nangong Tiandong."
Ye Hao shook his head once more.
It wasn't until Ye Hao asked about the seventh ancestor that Nangong Tianxiang, sowhat stamring, ntioned a na she wasn't entirely sure of.
"It seems to be Nangong Tianhou..."
"Is it Nangong Tianhou or Nangong Tianhou?" Ye Hao asked with a hint of excitent.
"It seems to be Nangong Tianhou; yes, it should be this Nangong Tianhou..." Nangong Tianxiang confird after Ye Hao's prompt.
"Haha, it really seems to be him." Ye Hao laughed heartily.
"What really seems to be? Are you going to tell my ancestor Nangong Tianhou was your ntor?" Nangong Tianxiang said with a smile.
"Bingo, exactly what you said." Ye Hao praised, looking at Nangong Tianxiang.
Hearing this, Nangong Tianxiang froze for a mont, then looked a bit fearfully at Ye Hao. After a while, she asked, "Are you over 1,700 years old?" (To be continued.
