I'm Just Making Up The Exercises, My Disciple, Have You Really Mastered Them?

Chapter 42: You're Not Professional Enough (Seeking to Continue Reading)

The weakness of Qi's military strength was beyond imagination. Li Xuan felt that with his own strength, he was definitely a god-like existence in Qi.

He could completely ignore the Qi court.

"As a teacher, I should go and see what tricks these people are playing."

Li Xuan played with the jade ruyi and walked leisurely to the front of the courtyard, opening the door.

Outside the courtyard.

A group of about ten people, all wearing coarse linen clothes, with solemn expressions on their faces. The leader was an old man in coarse clothes, who was also the top martial artist who had just spoken.

"Good sir, please accept our greetings!"

The old man in coarse clothes clasped his hands in front of his chest, bowed his head, and saluted.

"Who are you all?"

Li Xuan twirled the jade ruyi in his hand and pretended to be confused.

"Good sir, the Heavenly Mother is compassionate and helps the suffering. I see that you are handsome and wealthy. Would you be willing to donate to help the suffering?"

"May the Heavenly Mother bless you with peace and joy!"

Li Xuan's mouth twitched as he looked at the old man in coarse clothes and said, "You come here to ask for money, using the guise of helping the suffering, without any flaws."

"But, can you take the act more seriously?"

As he spoke, he pointed at the old man's hand and said, "Look at you, dressed in shabby clothes, pretending to be a savior for the suffering, asking me for money."

"But can't you take off the big gold ring on your finger? It would be better to hide it!"

The old man in coarse clothes looked dazed, lowered his head and glanced at his own hand. Both his thumb and index finger were wearing a gold ring with jade inlays.

Li Xuan raised his gaze and looked at the middle-aged man beside the old man in coarse clothes, sighing, "And you, wearing an expensive ring, dressed in coarse clothes on the outside, and a silk lining on the inside."

"You guys are just not professional enough!"

Xu Yan, standing behind, looked at his master criticizing them and couldn't help but look dumbfounded.

Moreover, what his master said was flawless.

These people from the Heavenly Mother Sect really can't act at all.

And that man wearing the ring, he looks somewhat familiar.

After a while, he exclaimed in surprise, "Are you the County Magistrate of Cloud Mountain?"

The County Magistrate of Cloud Mountain, turned out to be a member of the Heavenly Mother Sect?

The followers of the Heavenly Mother Sect fell silent and fell into contemplation. In the past, when they approached wealthy families, they would quickly receive money without feeling that anything was wrong.

Why is it different today?

"You have a keen eye!"

The old man in coarse clothes' eyes gleamed. Since it had come to this, they could only be straightforward and use their strength.

"It's not that I have a keen eye, but you guys are really lousy."

Li Xuan sighed, stretched out his hand, and placed it on the old man's shoulder, saying, "With just the likes of you, it's no wonder you've been rebelling and failing all along."

The old man in coarse clothes was shocked.

A master!

A top master among top masters.

Cold sweat was about to break out on his forehead.

"I am the Coarse Clothes Guardian of the Heavenly Mother Sect. May I ask which renowned figure in the martial world you are?"

The old man in coarse clothes stiffened, gathering his internal energy, and asked in a deep voice.

The County Magistrate and the others were shocked. Xu Yan's master was actually a top master?

Such a top master at his age was truly rare.

They exchanged a glance in secret, then suddenly made a move.

They didn't attack Li Xuan directly, but instead attacked Xu Yan. As long as they captured the foolish son of Xu Junhe, their goal would be achieved.

Seeing the Heavenly Mother Sect members attacking, Xu Yan frowned slightly, raised his hand, and stirred his qi and blood. With a slight downward pressure, a powerful qi and blood aura instantly suppressed them.

As a result, the County Magistrate and the others felt as if a mountain had descended. With a thud, they all fell to the ground and couldn't get up.

"Overestimating yourselves!"

Xu Yan snorted coldly.

He held back and didn't kill them directly.

Everything still depends on the master's decision.

The old man in hemp clothes and others were already frightened.

Who is this expert?

"Let's talk it out, we have no ill intentions."

The old man in hemp clothes said with a cold sweat on his face.

At this moment, the county magistrate shouted, "I am the county magistrate of Cloud Mountain. Killing me is equivalent to treason. You should think twice!"

"Hmm?"

Xu Yan stared, and his blood and aura suddenly increased. The county magistrate felt as if he was about to be crushed into a pancake, and he was terrified.

He hurriedly said, "Stop, stop, Master Xu, your parents are in danger right now. Only our sect can save them. If you kill me, you should consider the consequences!"

"What did you say?"

Xu Yan's anger surfaced, his blood and aura surged, and the terrifying aura frightened the old man in hemp clothes and others from the Tianmu Sect, making their faces turn pale.

"I'm telling the truth, but it has nothing to do with our sect!"

The county magistrate was scared out of his wits.

"Tell me, what's going on?"

Xu Yan's face was full of anger. "If you dare to deceive me, I'll crush you and feed you to the dogs!"

How long has he been away from home? How could his parents be in danger?

"Our sect received intelligence that the East River County's guards are preparing to attack the Xu family, confiscate their property, and imprison them. There is no falsehood!"

The county magistrate didn't dare to hide anything and hurriedly spoke.

"Hmph! Are you looking for death? Even if the East River County's guards have ten times the courage, they wouldn't dare to touch my Xu family! My grandfather is the current minister of the Ministry of Personnel. Where did the East River County's guards get the courage?"

Li Xuan, who was on the side, was extremely surprised. It seemed that his foolish disciple's background was not simple.

His father was the richest man in East River County, and his grandfather was the current minister of the Ministry of Personnel. With such a background, let alone in East River County, he could be domineering even in the capital of Qi Kingdom.

"The East River County's guards may not dare, but this is the intention of a big shot in the capital..."

The county magistrate was afraid that Xu Yan would kill him in a fit of anger.

He hurriedly said, "It is rumored that in the struggle for the crown prince, the eldest prince has gained the upper hand, and Minister Guo supports the third prince, so..."

The struggle for the crown prince, if one side wins, the losing side will not have a good ending.

In this way, it seems that the Xu family is really in danger.

"The struggle for the crown prince?"

Xu Yan frowned.

Naturally, he didn't know about these things. All his thoughts were focused on finding hidden experts. After becoming Li Xuan's disciple, he devoted himself wholeheartedly to cultivating Martial Dao.

He didn't pay much attention to the affairs of his family, let alone the struggle for the crown prince in the distant capital.

Xu Yan furrowed his brows, retracted his oppressive aura, and the county magistrate immediately breathed a sigh of relief.

He continued, "General Donghe's mansion broke off the engagement because they sensed that the third prince's faction was falling behind. The struggle for the crown prince is about to reach a conclusion, so they broke off the engagement to extricate themselves."

Xu Yan was taken aback. Behind the breaking off of the engagement by General Donghe's mansion, there was actually such a hidden situation?

The county magistrate cautiously got up and said, "The East River County's guards are about to take action. Now, everyone with connections in East River County knows that the Xu family is about to be finished. They are all eyeing the Xu family's business, wanting to tear off a piece of meat."

Upon hearing this, Xu Yan became furious and cursed, "The emperor is blind. My grandfather supports his third son to give him face. How can this be? It's not easy for my family to do some business!"

"Who dares to touch my family? I'll kill them!"

The county magistrate was overjoyed and said, "Master Xu, your determination is truly admirable. Join our Tianmu Sect and let's rebel together!"

"You get lost!"

Xu Yan slapped the county magistrate and sent him flying.

Li Xuan sighed in his heart. The struggle for the crown prince in this dynasty was indeed rewarding, but the risks were also enormous.

If they won, they would gain great benefits.

If they lost, they would be severely punished, and even their entire family would be exterminated.

The crisis for the Xu family suddenly arrived. However, with the martial strength of the Qi Kingdom being so low, Xu Yan's strength could not be considered a crisis at all. Even if thousands of troops and horses came to attack, he could easily deal with them.
