Chapter 223: Chapter 119 Duke Mansion’s Tremor (Subscribe Please)_2

Before everyone entered the house, Xu Qing intentionally or unintentionally glanced towards the northwest.

...

...

After walking a few miles, they returned to the residence in Duke Wei Mansion where the True Gang Sect members were staying.

"Master, who exactly is that youngster? His martial skills are so impressive."

"It really shows Sect Leader’s broad-mindedness, not stooping to the level of the younger generation. Otherwise, that youngster would already be lying on the ground."

"The Heavenly Gang Wuji Skill of our True Gang Sect is not something that commoners can withstand. I think that youngster has already been hit by Master’s Hua Realm; his muscles and bones must be completely softened by now."

"Exactly, exactly. Sect Leader’s Hua Realm Mian Palm is every bit as good as the Mian Palm skills of Taihe Mountain."

"I heard that overseas there is an Absolute Skill called Bone Melting Palm, reputed to be the best among palm skills in the world. They just haven’t met our Sect Leader..."

After the disciples of True Gang Sect returned to the Duke Wei Mansion’s courtyard, they were full of energy and started boasting.

In this courtyard, there were also house slaves of the Duke Wei Mansion. They couldn’t help but boast, or else others might look down on them, thinking they had returned in defeat.

In worldly society, one’s reputation is constructed by oneself!

Gu Wuji said coldly, "Enough."

After speaking, he immediately returned to his meditation room.

The remaining disciples of the True Gang Sect fell silent, not knowing why the Sect Leader was angry.

Back in the meditation room, Gu Wuji tasted sweetness in his throat, couldn’t hold back anymore, and spat out a mouthful of blood. As soon as the blood left his mouth, he fiercely sucked it back in, and then vigorously circulated his Internal Training Thunder Sound to dissolve the internal injury.

After all, this is Duke Wei Mansion. If the servants came to clean and saw the blood, wouldn’t they discover what happened?

Sect Leader Gu is extremely conscious of his appearance.

Originally, spitting out a mouthful of blood right there would have resolved the issue.

He had just forced himself to hold on until now before he started healing.

Earlier, not to show any weakness in front of his disciples, he forcefully suppressed his boiling qi-blood while listening to their rambling nonsense.

At only thirty-five years old, having reached the Refining Organ Realm of Heavenly Gang Wuji, he was a rare prodigy in the history of True Gang Sect. Unexpectedly, there was always someone higher; he actually encountered a monster like Xu Qing.

"Luckily, I went straight for the challenge with the old monk. That youngster isn’t a monk either; seems like he might be some lay disciple. Besides, I have the backing of Duke Wei Mansion. If that youngster tries to sabotage the duel, there will be people from the Duke Wei Mansion to stop him," Gu Wuji breathed a sigh of relief.

The strength of youth is fearsome.

His chances of defeating the old monk seem better than fighting that younger man just now.

When risking a bout, one must always pick the oldest and softest persimmons to squeeze.

"The absolute pinnacle of skill at Golden Ray Monastery is actually the Great Mighty Dragon Bodhisattva Scripture by Zen Master Red Moon, which is dual cultivation of magic and martial arts. Based on this, the Great Dragon Buddha Temple and Dragon Elephant Seal are extraordinary divine skills. Such a genius as that youngster hasn’t learned it, let alone Yan Kong who has never been famous in the worldly society. My Heavenly Gang Wuji Skill is also an extraordinary Absolute Skill, as long as I don’t face off the skills of the Great Mighty Dragon Bodhisattva Scripture, facing such an old monk really isn’t anything to be afraid of." After analyzing, Gu Wuji felt that after the exchange with Xu Qing, he had an idea of the old monk’s abilities, and his worries about the upcoming bout decreased.

This was also because during the last display by the old monk of the Great Dragon Buddha Statue, the victims and the onlookers were all from Great Zen Temple except Xu Qing.

Dirty linen should not be washed in public; the Great Zen Temple party would certainly not willingly divulge this matter.

Nor did Xu Qing’s subordinates understand it.

Moreover, shortly after, Xu Qing reconciled with Great Zen Temple and even started doing a food trade business. Xu Qing’s subordinates were even less likely to gossip about this.

Thus, no rumors about this matter arose in worldly society.

On Da WeiWei’s side, although the Young Master had heard a bit about it, he didn’t plan to speak, to avoid Gu Wuji becoming cowardly by this knowledge.

Moreover, the Young Master’s side only knew the name of the Great Dragon Buddha Statue, without understanding its real power.

"Anyway, I’m in the prime of life, just over thirty. The old monk, I heard, is already past sixty, old and frail. Thirty-something against sixty-something, the advantage is mine!" Gu Wuji fiercely encouraged himself, sweeping away the gloom previously left by Xu Qing.

...

...

After the members of the True Gang Sect returned.

At Duke Wei Mansion, the steward also returned from outside to Duke Wei Mansion and went to the study to see Duke Wei.

It turned out that the steward had been near Elder Dan Xi’s residence earlier, monitoring the situation. He had to prevent Gu Wuji and others from getting too carried away and injuring Feng Wu.

After all, Feng Wu was not only the daughter of the current Inspector of South Zhili, her mother was also a noblewoman of the Taicang Zhou Clan, and her uncle was the Academic Supervisor of South Zhili and about to take office as the Governor of Lingnan, becoming a major official.

Given Academician Zhou’s age, it was foreseeable that he would enter the Central government. Even if he could not become an Elder, at least he could aspire to positions like Assistant Minister of the Ministry of Personnel, the Ministry of Revenue, or the Ministry of Rites - central departments of imperial power.

Although Duke Wei Mansion was well-rooted and vast, there was no need to make deep enemies with such a power.

Therefore, encouraging Gu Wuji to make a move was specifically aimed at Golden Ray Monastery.

Currently, at the Court, bullying Great Zen Temple went unchallenged, let alone Golden Ray Monastery’s smaller branch in the Southern region.

If Golden Ray Monastery hadn’t leaned on influential figures like Xu Qing, Duke Wei Mansion wouldn’t even consider them significant.

The steward, after paying his respects to Duke Wei, recounted what he had seen and heard before.

"Are you saying that youngster has already started Refining Internals?" Duke Wei was incredibly shocked.

He had seen many Refining Internal Masters, but such a young Refining Internal Master greatly piqued his interest.

A fifteen-year-old Internal Martial Artist is not unheard of in the Great Yu Dynasty, but those individuals were all extremely gifted in martial arts, or born with innate wisdom. Without exception, they all became Martial Arts Grandmasters, some even ascended to the status of Martial Saint.
