Chapter 143: Venerable Miaoyin

Last time, we talked about how Hu Ming, the third son of the Hu family, invited Li Yi, Yi Ling and Yu Jiu to his mansion to have a chat. So what will happen next? Let’s read on.

Li Yi and the other two followed Hu Ming into the mansion and sat down in the living room. The maid served them tea and cakes. Yu Jiu was still a child, so he naturally couldn't control himself when he saw the cakes. Yi Ling smiled and called Yu Jiu aside to eat with him.

Li Yi smiled at Hu Ming and said, "Please excuse me, Master Hu. We just came down from the mountain not long ago. My junior sister and the book boy have not seen much of the world. I apologize for being rude."

Hu Ming waved his hand and said, "Hey, this is originally for you to eat, how can it be said to be impolite? By the way, I wonder why Venerable Miaoyin came to see me?"

Yi Ling suddenly sent a voice to Li Yi and said, "You stay with him for a while. I'm going to start investigating the Hu Mansion. Don't let anyone disturb me!"

Li Yi nodded, bowed to Hu Ming and said with a smile: "I do have something I would like to ask for help from Master Hu, because my junior sister and I are traveling down the mountain for the first time and do not know the rules of the martial arts world. Although we have fought with many people along the way, few people know about it. Today I came to Yangcheng and heard that Master Hu has made many friends in the martial arts world and is quite prestigious. I came here to ask for your help to help me make a name for myself in the martial arts world."

Hu Ming shook his head and smiled bitterly, "Your Excellency, I am afraid I cannot help you with this favor! It's not that I don't want to help, but you think too highly of our Hu family. In the martial arts world, our Hu family is insignificant, so how can we help you make a name for yourself?"

Li Yi waved his hand and said, "Sir, why should you be so modest? The Hu family is a powerful family. How can it be insignificant? Well, I have an immature proposal. Please listen to it, Sir. If you think it is feasible, please help. If you think it is inappropriate, just ignore what I said. How about that?"

Hu Ming extended his hand and said with a smile, "I'd like to hear more about it."

Li Yi smiled and said, "Why not hold a martial arts conference? Invite heroes from all over the world to Yangcheng to discuss and exchange ideas, and re-rank the heroes and major sects according to their strength. Maybe we can also elect a martial arts leader to mediate the disputes. And the Hu family is the initiator. Do I need to say more about the wonderfulness of this?"

Hu Ming's eyes lit up when he heard this, but he quickly calmed down, glanced at the middle-aged guard standing beside him, then shook his head and smiled, "Your Excellency's idea of ​​holding a martial arts conference is naturally good, but it's probably a foolish dream to want to gather heroes from all over the world and invite all the major sects. Not to mention personal grudges, there are many sects that have feuds. If you want to gather them together, wouldn't that just be asking for trouble?"

Li Yi waved his hand and smiled, "No, no, didn't I say that if the Hu family can come forward to host the event, who to invite and which sect to invite, it's all up to the Hu family! When inviting people, make it clear that no trouble is allowed, and everything will be resolved on the stage! Besides, we can completely not invite those troublesome people and troublesome gangs, or just invite one side!"

Hu Ming asked in confusion: "If we don't invite people, what kind of martial arts conference is this?"

Li Yi smiled evilly and said, "Sir, why don't you just say that you sent someone to invite him but he didn't come! Or maybe he couldn't come because of something else. Can't you make up an excuse?"

Hu Ming raised his lips and bowed, smiling, "Your Excellency, what you said is indeed feasible, but if we want to hold a martial arts conference, it will probably cost a lot of money."

Li Yi shook his head and smiled, "Compared to the rewards we get, a few silver coins are nothing. If it is really done, how much will the Hu family's status in the martial arts world be improved! Not only that, if you are worried about the high expenses, I also have a way to recover the losses. I can open a gambling game privately! Why not open a few more, make a weapons ranking, a boxing ranking, a hero ranking, a rouge ranking, etc., and sell peripheral products, such as the wine and dishes that heroes like to drink and eat, and the sachets that heroines like..."

Li Yi couldn't stop talking, from publicity to operation, including venue layout and peripheral product sales, for more than an hour. Hu Ming was surprised and nodded repeatedly. He couldn't understand how the person sitting opposite him came up with all these new ideas.

Li Yi had been talking for a long time and his mouth was dry. He really couldn't continue to make up stories. Yu Jiu, who was sitting next to him, was also full of cakes and fruits and kept drinking tea. Li Yi rolled his eyes at Yu Jiu and said, "Have you finished eating? You must be starving! You ate a lot for lunch!"

Yu Jiu patted his belly and laughed, "No more eating, no more eating, I can't eat anymore."

Li Yi snorted coldly: "I don't know where you ate these three plates of fruits and cakes!"

Yu Jiu suddenly covered his stomach and said, "Ouch, sir, my stomach hurts, I want to go..."

Yi Ling quickly said, "Please forgive me, Master Hu, I will take this child to relieve himself."

Li Yi's face was full of black lines, while Hu Ming smiled and asked the servants to take Yi Ling and Yu Jiu to the toilet. Li Yi said ashamedly: "My junior sister and the book boy don't know the rules. Please forgive me for my impoliteness."

Hu Ming waved his hands and said, "It's normal for a kid. But you are really a strange man! You said it was your first time down the mountain, but I don't believe it!"

Li Yi chuckled and said, "Indeed not, I sneaked out to drink wine before!"

Hu Ming was surprised and said, "Drinking prostitute wine? Miss Yi Ling's looks would definitely rank at the top if there really was a rouge list. Why would Your Excellency sneak out to drink prostitute wine while guarding your fairy-like junior sister?"

Li Yi sighed and said, "Alas, young master, you don't know. My master's wife is watching me closely, how dare I act rashly? The reason I want to make a name for myself is so that I can go back and propose to my master and his wife. I can't let others abduct such a beautiful sister, right?" After saying that, he gave Hu Ming a look that every man could understand.

Hu Ming shook his head and smiled: "Your Excellency is truly a wonderful person..."

Li Yi quickly stretched out his hand to interrupt, "Don't call me Your Excellency. Young Master and I get along very well. Why don't we just call each other brothers? What do you think, Brother Hu?"

Hu Ming laughed and said, "Okay, okay, I also feel that I have a great time talking to Brother Li. From now on, we can call each other brothers! Hahaha!"

The two chatted for a while, and Yi Ling and Yu Jiu came back. Li Yi asked, "Is everything okay this time?"

Yu Jiu smiled and said, "It's okay, it's okay, Master, are you guys done chatting? Should we have dinner now?"

Li Yi angrily said: "Still eating? You only know how to eat!"

Yi Ling interrupted Li Yi and said, "You two should have talked enough. I've had enough of staying here. I'll take my leave now! Mr. Hu, please tell Cheng Jinshi's brother to find a few more helpers before coming to me for revenge! Also, Mr. Hu, I have a piece of advice for you!" As he spoke, Yi Ling's clothes changed back to Taoist robes. He flicked his whisk and said, "If you don't stop the wicked things your Hu family has done, someone will come to take care of you! Humph! Let's go!"

Hu Ming looked at Yi Ling in front of him and said angrily: "You are the female Taoist priest who killed Cheng Jinshi! How dare you come to my Hu Mansion!" He turned to Li Yi and asked: "Are you in the same group?"

Li Yi waved his hands repeatedly and said, "No, no, no, we are not in the same group. We are not familiar with each other at all. I just saw that the fairy is beautiful, so I helped her!"

Hu Ming said coldly: "If I want to kill her today, which side will Brother Li stand on?"

Li Yi smiled and said, "I don't like to cause trouble! So I'll stand aside."

Hu Ming smiled and said, "That's good. Thanks, Brother Zhang, for taking down this female Taoist priest!" The guard behind Hu Ming suddenly drew out a blue-black sword and swung out a bolt of lightning that struck Yi Ling directly. Because the lightning was too fast, Yi Ling had no time to react. Fortunately, Li Yi was prepared and used the Golden Bell Cover to block the lightning.

Hu Ming said angrily: "Didn't Brother Li say he wouldn't interfere?"

Li Yi acted stupid and said, "I said I would stand aside, I didn't say I wouldn't interfere! Brother Hu, if you, as a guard, use lightning to strike someone, it might ruin the fairy's appearance, that would not be beautiful!"

At this time, the guards of the Hu family surrounded them. Yi Ling stepped on the ground and the Bagua formation appeared under his feet. He instantly disappeared with Yu Jiu, leaving Li Yi staring at the Hu family stupidly. He said awkwardly: "Um, can I leave now?"

At Hu Ming's command, the guards rushed towards Li Yi, who raised his hands and said, "Hey! Don't do it, I surrender!"

Hu Ming said angrily, "It's too late!" At this moment, the Bagua Formation suddenly lit up under Li Yi's feet. He made a goodbye gesture to everyone in the Hu family and then disappeared.

Li Yi looked around and saw that he was already outside the Hu residence. Yi Ling shouted, "Why are you standing there? Hurry up! The Hu family will be chasing us soon!"

The three of them ran away, and Yu Jiu asked as they ran: "Sister, you know magic, why don't you use it to take us directly to a safe place?"

Yi Ling replied: "The farther the distance is, the more spiritual energy is consumed, and the easier it is to be exposed. Even at this distance, we have been discovered by the people of Ye Mao Mountain. The most urgent thing is to find a place to hide as soon as possible."

Li Yi said unhappily, "You could have walked out of the Hu residence openly, why did you suddenly go crazy? And you even asked him to pass on a message! Do you think you have too few people to deal with?"

Yi Ling said coldly: "If you knew what the Hu family did, you would definitely go crazy! These people are worse than pigs and dogs!"

Li Yi shook his head and said, "Okay, you can explain it in detail when we get to a safe place."

Li Yi stretched out his hand and pulled Yu Jiu onto his back, and he and Yi Ling sped away. The guards of the Hu Mansion soon caught up with them. If it was just a matter of running strength, who could beat a warrior? Seeing the guards behind him getting closer and closer, Li Yi said, "How about I stop them here?"

Yi Ling looked back and said, "No need, go towards the city wall, I will have a way when we get there!"

Yi Ling led Li Yi and quickly ran towards the east wall of Yangcheng. When they reached the wall, he made a seal with his hands and shouted, "Dunfu Fa - Move Mountains!"

Suddenly, a big hole appeared on the city wall. After the two passed through, Yi Ling looked back at the hole. When he saw the Hu family guards entering the hole, he shouted, "Free them!" The big hole suddenly disappeared, trapping the guards in the city wall.

Li Yi asked: "I'm afraid this can only trap them for a short while."

Yiling said: "Of course I know! The art of shrinking the earth!" Yiling disappeared with Li Yi and Yu Jiu. A moment later, several guards of the Hu family broke through the city wall and came out, but they could no longer find Li Yi and others.

The three men who had temporarily escaped the pursuit hid in the woods outside the city. Li Yi sat down against a tree and said, "Finally I can take a breath. What do you think of the Hu family?"

Yi Ling said with a serious expression: "No, there are still a few people who haven't been shaken off. They should be three fourth-rank warriors! I don't understand how they found us? If we can't find out what the problem is, we still can't leave."

Li Yi let out a long sigh and said, "Don't bother, I'll go and get rid of them all."

Yi Ling shook his head and said, "Those are three fourth-grade warriors, one of whom should be at the peak of the fourth grade. Even I can't guarantee a quick victory, so why are you trying so hard!"

Li Yi smiled and said, "You said that my soul power is stronger than my Buddhist Dharma. I want to give it a try. It happens that the three warriors are all within my controllable range. You and Yu Jiu just watch here." After Li Yi finished speaking, he came to the roadside alone, condensed his energy into a zither, and sat on the roadside, plucking the strings casually.

Soon three guards of the Hu family arrived, led by none other than Zhang Da, the Thunder Slayer, who was holding a dark blue sword. Following behind him, wielding a double-headed spear, was Guo Tong, the Two-Headed Snake. The other one holding a nine-ring knife was Fu Yong, the Nine-Knife Holder.

Zhang Da saw Li Yi sitting on the side of the road playing the zither, so he reached out to stop the two of them and said, "Be careful, my two brothers. This man calls himself the Wonderful Sound Master and can hurt people with his music. If you don't have confidence in your soul power, don't approach him rashly!"

Guo Tong smiled and said, "Brother Zhang, for us martial artists, the most basic training is the spirit, energy and spirit. Even if there are some differences among the three of the same rank, the difference will not be too big, so there is no need to worry about us."

Zhang Da looked at Fu Yong, who nodded. Zhang Da said, "Okay, I'll take care of this, and you two find a chance to chase that female Taoist priest!"
