"Uncle Junior, stop fighting, no more----" Fang Yingxiong covered his head and shouted. "You just called me an idiot, if I fight again I'll be a moron. I should have fought with that old monster Qianye Bingbu to the death, even if he killed me with one sword, it would be all over, and I'd be proud if the news got out----"
Fang Yan sneered and said, "With your mediocre skills, you still want to fight with Qianye Bingbu? Others will fight, but you will die."
"You just want to say that Miss Ye is better than us." Fang Yingxiong said hurriedly. After he finished speaking, he immediately realized how stupid his words were, and quickly made amends by saying, "Of course, your idea is completely correct. Who is Miss Ye? She is our top-notch expert in China, and she is invincible in the world. Except for Junior Master, who can last three rounds under her hands?"
Fang Yan was too lazy to beat the two scoundrels anymore, so he asked Fang Haohan to fetch water for him to wash his hands. It had been a long time since these two guys had washed their hair, and their hair was greasy. Fang Yan's palms were covered with the sticky substance.
"What? Do you think it's an honorable thing to be killed by Qianye Bingbu?" Fang Yan asked Fang Yingxiong.
"That's not what I meant." Fang Yingxiong explained with a smile. "In my beautiful imagination, of course I would be more proud if I killed Qianye Bingbu. But we can't do it. Last time, Junior Master said that he couldn't do anything when he saw him. I laughed at Junior Master for exaggerating that the old guy was too powerful.
Snapped!
Fang Yan couldn't help but slap Fang Yingxiong on the head again, cursing, "Why do you laugh at me in your heart? Can your grease-covered eyelids that can't see three meters away be more accurate than mine?"
"Yes, yes, yes." Fang Yingxiong nodded repeatedly. He said the wrong thing again, and the slap was well deserved. "Master Junior is right. I had some doubts before, but after my own practice, I found that this old guy just stood there so casually, and I didn't know where to attack him - this is a master in the Absolute Stage? Too amazing, right? Of course, Master Junior's vision is even better, he knew everything about him the first time he saw him."
Fang Yan shook his head slightly, smiled bitterly and said, "If I were really that powerful, would you and Fang Haohan go after him and fight to your death?"
Fang Yingxiong opened his mouth and said, "We are looking for him to fight to the death because -- because Fang Haohan and I think how can we use a butcher knife to kill a chicken? It's a waste of resources. Fang Haohan and I will finish him off first, so that after Junior Master defeats him, others will not accuse you of bullying the weak. It's not worth it."
Fang Yan washed his hands in the basin brought by Fang Haohan, looked at Fang Yingxiong and Fang Haohan seriously and said, "I know, you are worried that I can't beat Qianye Bingbu, you are worried that I will get hurt or even die-----so you two idiots went by yourselves."
"With your mediocre skills, you two will die if you go there. You haven't reached that level yet, so you have no idea how powerful Qianye Bingbu is. Even his apprentice is a rare opponent for you. You are afraid that I will get hurt or die, but am I not afraid that you two will get hurt? Am I not afraid that you two will die?"
"This is my fight, this is my responsibility. Since he has come to me, I will keep my promise even if I die in battle. This has nothing to do with my personal honor and face, but for the dignity of all Chinese warriors. If I lose, there will be another person to challenge me. If I die, there will be another person to avenge me."
Fang Yan patted Fang Yingxiong on the shoulder and said, "But I don't want you to be the next one, because I know you will definitely lose and die. You just need to live heartlessly like you are now - even if I am gone, you can still take care of my parents and the old drunkard for me. Therefore, you are more valuable alive than dead. Don't do such stupid things in the future, don't die so easily."
Fang Yan turned and left, leaving Fang Yingxiong and Fang Haohan standing in a daze in the yard.
Fang Haohan was very emotional, his eyes were red, tears welled up in his eyes, and he said in a choked voice: "Fang Yingxiong, I want to kill those bastards. Why do they bully Junior Master Uncle-----"
Fang Yingxiong also cried, and looked even sadder than Fang Haohan.
Fang Haohan looked at Fang Yingxiong and said comfortingly: "Yingxiong, don't worry, Junior Master will be fine. His Kung Fu is so good that even the old monster may not be able to defeat him-----"
Fang Yingxiong wiped his tears with his sleeves and said, "Master Junior wiped his hands with my clothes, and the water dripped onto my neck----"
"------"

It was still early winter in Huacheng, but the winter in Yanjing was already very cold. Jiang Qin and Yuan Lin were in a better mood as they watched the leaves on the locust tree decrease. It should snow in Yanjing in a while, right
Jiang Qin and Yuan Lin are both from the south. Jiang Qin is leaving the Flower City for the first time, and Yuan Lin spends all her time in the Flower City except for occasionally traveling to the north with her parents in spring and autumn. So, the two have never seen real snow.
So, they have been looking forward to the arrival of the first snow of this year, looking forward to making snowmen and having snowball fights in the snow, or even meeting and hugging their favorite people in the snow.
Jiang Qin wore a white training suit and Yuan Lin wore a black training suit. The slim and soft training suits outlined the girls' figures very well, attracting the two boys next to them to peek over.
The two boys were classmates of Jiang Qin and Yuan Lin, and they were considered senior and junior brothers and sisters. After retiring from the Conservatory of Music, Mao Xuanping, who became famous for successfully training Xia Tian, took a practice room in the school to train his own disciples. Before Xia Tian sent Jiang Qin and Yuan Lin here, two guys had already become his disciples.
The tall and thin one is called Guo Nu, the son of the famous domestic film and television star Guo Qingyun. He inherited the excellent genes of his parents and is very handsome. The other boy who wears glasses and looks very gentle and elegant is called Huang Yida. He usually looks very low-key, but he always has a sense of superiority. I don’t know what his family background is.
An old man with a slicked-back hair was lying on a chair with his eyes slightly closed, looking like he was about to fall asleep.
Jiang Qin sat upright in front of an ancient zheng, leaning forward slightly, his fingers gently fiddling with the zheng.
The sound of the bell is clear and pleasant to the ear.
"Stop." Mao Xuanping suddenly opened his eyes and shouted loudly.
Jiang Qin quickly stopped playing and looked at Teacher Mao Xuanping helplessly. She knew she had played it wrong again. Teacher Mao Xuanping was very strict with his students and treated Jiang Qin and Yuan Lin the same. He was merciless when scolding them.
"Jiang Qin, do you know where you went wrong?" Mao Xuanping jumped up from his chair, walked up to Jiang Qin and asked.
Jiang Qin thought for a moment and said, "Teacher, I don't know."
You said you didn't know the teacher would be angry, and if you answered incorrectly, the teacher would be even more angry. So Jiang Qin chose an answer that would make the teacher less angry.
"What piece of music are you playing? 'Clouds and Water Zen Mind'. What is Clouds and Water Zen Mind? The sound of the zither is as gentle as the ding-dong-dong sound, like the gurgling of water, the shadows of bamboo forests, and the reflections of springs and rocks. From the sound of the zither, we should understand the great Dharma and great freedom. I know you are a freshman, so I don't ask you to play the great Dharma and great freedom. But tell me, where are your clouds? Where is your water? Without clouds and water, what is Clouds and Water Zen Music?"
Jiang Qin was filled with shame and said, "Teacher Mao, I'm sorry, I was too anxious."
Mao Xuanping's expression eased a little, and he shouted, "Guo Nu, you come and demonstrate it to everyone."
Guo Nu walked up to Jiang Qin and said with a smile, "Teacher Mao, don't be angry. My junior sister has just arrived, and it's already very good to have achieved such results. When I first arrived, I couldn't play as well as them. At that time, you were so angry that you hit me with a stick. Have you forgotten?"
Guo Nu looked at Jiang Qin again and said, "Junior sister, don't be nervous. The teacher is strict with you because he has too high expectations of you. If it is an ordinary student, it would be great if he can learn the plucking skills and recognize the whole zither score during this period of time. How dare you ask him to play a complete song?"
Jiang Qin was very grateful to Guo Nu for helping him out. He gave up his chair to Guo Nu and said with a smile, "Thank you."
Guo Nu smiled and sat down in front of the guzheng.
After adjusting his heart rate and exhaling gently, he stroked the strings with his fingers, and beautiful tones came out. It must be said that Guo Nu was indeed gifted in playing the guzheng.
The room was very quiet, everyone was listening attentively. You could see the clouds, the water, the harmony of the clouds and the water, and hear the solemn and majestic Buddhist sound.
When the song ended, everyone applauded enthusiastically.
Bao Xuanping pointed at Guo Nu and said, "There are still some flaws. Clouds and water flow slowly, not too fast. If you use too much force, it will not be beautiful."
Guo Nu quickly stood up and said gratefully: "Thank you for your teachings, teacher."
Bao Xuanping looked at Jiang Qin and asked, "Do you understand?"
"I understand." Jiang Qin nodded.
Mao Xuanping was very satisfied with his apprentice's eagerness to learn and said, "It's good that you understand. The ancients emphasized having a clear mind. If you have wind and clouds in your mind, then the sound of the zither you play will be strong and powerful. You are very talented. I hope you can go further in this field."
"Thank you, teacher." Jiang Qin thanked sincerely.
Mao Xuanping waved his hand and said, "Okay, let's go eat."
After Mao Xuanping left, the students began to pack their things and went to the bathroom to take a shower and change their clothes.
When Jiang Qin and Yuan Lin changed into sweaters and down jackets and walked out, Guo Nu and Huang Yida were already waiting at the door.
Guo Nu stood up and took the initiative to greet the two girls, saying, "Yida and I just discussed that although we are brothers and sisters, we have been together for so long and we don't even have the opportunity to have a meal together. The teacher must be very sad to know that our relationship is so distant - it's me and Yida who didn't do enough. Two little sisters, please give me some face and have a meal together today, how about it?"
