Chapter 344: 0343 Guess the Identity

"Thank you, seniors," Ye Qiu said, cupping one hand in the other before his chest as a salute.

It wasn’t a question of whether he could defeat the elder from the Sun family, but the appearance of Elder Jin, Chen Yifeng, and the others had somehow dissolved a potential battle into nothingness.

"Ye Qiu, my young friend," Elder Jin said, "what you’re talking about is a trivial matter, not worth mentioning. However, the way the Sun family handles things is indeed unsightly, showing no regard for the reputation of a martial arts family."

The proud scion of a martial arts family from the northern martial arts world was behaving ridiculously, seeking trouble after his son had lost a challenge. It was laughable to even mention.

"Although the Sun family is a martial arts household, they are narrow-minded and intolerant of others. Ye Qiu, my young friend, it’s best to avoid the Sun family whenever possible to prevent conflict and potential loss," Elder Jin still felt compelled to give advice.

"I understand, and thank you for your concern, Elder Jin," Ye Qiu expressed his gratitude. He had a good impression of this senior from the northern martial arts world, for the man was upright and openhearted, unlike the narrow-minded people of the Sun family.

"We came here for two reasons. Firstly, we received news that the Sun family has shown up here, and secondly, we would like to have a discussion with your Dragon Group leader," Elder Jin explained.

"Hey, old guy, why is it you who gets to talk to the Dragon Group’s leader? We from the southern martial arts world haven’t agreed to that," Chen Yifeng interjected.

"Don’t you always deny the Dragon Group’s strength?" retorted Elder Jin.

"What if we acknowledge it now?" Chen Yifeng persisted.

The two of them started to argue again, leaving Ye Qiu stuck in the middle, unable to help but smile wryly.

"May I know why the two seniors are looking for me?" Mei Huiling stepped forward, composed and natural, showing none of the restraint one might expect in the presence of famous seniors from the martial arts world.

Seeing Mei Huiling’s demeanor, Elder Jin, Chen Yifeng, and other high-level martial artists from the northern and southern martial arts worlds couldn’t help but nod in approval internally. It was no wonder she had managed to establish the Dragon Group; she was indeed an exceptional woman.

"Do you have some time to spare? We have matters to discuss with you."

Mei Huiling nodded. She had an inkling of their intentions and said softly, "Since the seniors are here for me, please come this way."

Elder Xu and Ye Qiu did not interrupt the conversation between Mei Huiling and the martial arts elders, standing at a respectful distance.

"Don’t worry, my master won’t run off with someone else," Ye Qiu joked, amused at Elder Xu’s occasionally furtive glances.

"Hmph, what does a kid like you know!" Elder Xu didn’t want to engage further with Ye Qiu, to avoid becoming the butt of his jokes.

"I’m just curious what they’re talking about."

"Once they leave, you can simply ask your master... Speaking of which, master, you’ve never told me the story of how you met my mistress," Ye Qiu casually changed the subject.

Elder Xu hemmed and hawed, unwilling to divulge the story. Teasingly, Ye Qiu said, "It couldn’t have been you pestering her relentlessly, could it?"

Elder Xu immediately objected, "Brat, what nonsense are you spouting? Back in the day, your master here was like a graceful poplar, a paragon of virtue, beloved by all, adored by people and flowers alike, an untainted handsome youth."

Ye Qiu scratched his head, his expression showing nine parts skepticism to one part belief regarding the boasting.

"Just hear me out, okay? That day, I was strolling down the street, and your mistress was up in a building, putting on her makeup. Then, as she opened the window, a wooden comb tumbled down and hit me. I looked up and saw your mistress’s delicate beauty. Our gaze met for a few seconds," explained Elder Xu.

"Maybe that was love at first sight, something a greenhorn in love like you wouldn’t understand."

The more Ye Qiu heard, the more he found it fishy, muttering, "This plot... are you sure you’re not talking about ’The Water Margin’? Why do I feel like I’ve read this scene in that book?"

Elder Xu flatly denied it, his expression calm, "How could that be? Later, I was admiring the scenery at the Broken Bridge by West Lake when your mistress just happened to be there avoiding the rain. I offered her my umbrella, and we walked in the rain together..."

By now, Ye Qiu could no longer bear to listen. The old man was stretching the truth too far, even appropriating the romantic tale of Xu Xian and Lady White to himself. He seemed even more shameless than the people from the Sun family.

Ye Qiu quickly made a stop gesture, unwilling to listen to any more of Elder Xu’s fabrications and entirely unfounded stories.

"Hey, kid, why are you running? I haven’t finished talking yet!"

...

The purple dawn rose, with the sky awash with light, the entire Mount Hua enshrouded in clouds and mist, like a realm of immortals.

As martial artists, they naturally could not miss the morning, the best time to practice.

Breathing in a breath of the world’s essence in the morning and exhaling a breath of turbid air was absolutely refreshing, and practicing at this time was even more effective.

You could see many martial artists seated in meditation or practicing punches with closed eyes, deeply engrossed, including veteran figures in the martial arts world, not wasting any time.

Before long, numerous martial artists gathered together again.

"The reason for summoning everyone is that there is something that must be made known to all," Jin Lao stood before the crowd.

"Last night, someone intended to blow up the summit of Mount Hua, to take the lives of everyone here," he continued.

At these words, the crowd of martial artists immediately buzzed with shock and chatter.

"Can it be true? I went to bed early last night. Who would be so bold as to blow up Mount Hua?"

"Damn it, should I be thankful for being able to see today’s sun?"

"Whoever it is, I’ll beat him so badly his own mother won’t recognize him!"

The martial artists were visibly agitated, many expressing a burning desire to punish the individual who sought to kill them all.

Then, a corpse was brought before everyone.

"Is it him? Zuo Nan?" As the face of the corpse became clear, someone shouted in surprise.

"Yes, it’s him. This man was actually from the island nation, hiding in our Huaxia, learning Huaxia culture. If it had not been for Ye Qiu, who noticed something amiss and informed us of his plan, I fear we all would have been reduced to dust alongside the summit last night," Jin Lao said, as everyone turned their gaze toward Ye Qiu.

"Upon investigation, it was found that Zuo Nan was backed by the beast-transforming faction, a clear sign they have been wanting to wipe out our Huaxia martial arts community. The urgency of eliminating this threat cannot be overstated."

"Damn these foreign forces, their malice knows no bounds!"

"Fortunately, someone discovered it in time, or we’d all be dead."

Many people turned to Ye Qiu to thank him, fists clasped, and Ye Qiu responded with a slight fist in return.

"This kid has really stolen the spotlight at this martial arts tournament," Jin Lao said with a laugh.

"What? Envious that we in the south have produced such a talent?" Chen Yifeng said with pride.

Jin Lao didn’t deny it and directly said, "The boy is truly remarkable. He sparred with the elderly Sun family leader and came out unscathed. Among the younger generation, there are few who can achieve this."

"Indeed, I, too, am eager to see just how far this kid can go," Chen Yifeng said.

"By the way, that old man standing next to Ye Qiu, don’t you find him somewhat familiar?" Jin Lao mentioned.

Chen Yifeng furrowed his brows and said, "Somewhat familiar, but I just can’t place him. He seems like someone from decades ago, but I’m not certain if it’s him!"

"Could it be him?" Chen Yifeng and Jin Lao exchanged a look, both showing a hint of surprise.
