Zeng Huaipu looked at Wen Xuan and said, "I don't know what this young master calls me?"

Wen Xuan said, "I am here, my surname is Wen."

"Your Madam Wen, your voice. I have heard that you were the one who saved me by the second son of Lin that day. I would like to thank you for your life-saving grace."

"You are polite to Master Zeng, there must be something strange about that matter. So, does Master Zeng remember the incident that day?"

"Yes, aren't you here just to ask about this?"

Wen Xuan and Lin Yan looked at each other for a moment and nodded.

"I can tell you what happened that day, but in a while, I'll ask you to tell me everything and say everything."

Lin Yan said, "Do your best."

Zeng Huaipu said, "This starts with my brother being killed.

Yuzhou has been a land of fish and rice since ancient times, with silk weaving and tea industry as the main items. Our Zeng family has been practicing here for hundreds of years. However, the place is remote and the family members cannot practice the Dharma. They can only live here and never challenge it. For a hundred years, there has been no elder who has cultivated the path of immortality.

So most people started business while practicing. After all, my small family in Zeng family still had to take survival first. That day, my brother Zeng Huaimin escorted silk to Jiangzhou, where there were several shops from my Zeng family, specializing in the silk produced in Yuzhou. The business has always been very good, but when my brother went there, he found that there was a silk merchant in the local area, and somehow he bribed Lin family. If someone dared to buy my Zeng family's silk, the monks sent by the Lin family were very powerful, and they often asked people to survive and die. After several times, there would be no one in my shop.

In a fit of anger, the elder brother went to find the silk cloth merchant. As a result, the Lin disciples tied up my brother, threw it in the wilderness, and fed the wolf." Zeng Huaipu said this and couldn't help but wipe his tears with his sleeves.

Lin Yan frowned and asked, "Do you know the names of those Lin clan members?"

Zeng Huaipu said, "I don't know. These were told by the guys later when they ran back. I was so angry that I wanted to go to the Lin family in Muzhou to ask for an explanation, but I didn't want to be persuaded by other aristocratic families. The Lin family has great power, is mysterious in its easy way, and has a strong magic. If they go, they can only seek death and humiliate themselves. If they are enemies of the Lin family, the Zeng family's century-old foundation will be destroyed in my hands."

Wen Xuan snorted and said, "What a shit logic! Before the matter is clear, others must be patient. It turns out that it is not his own brother who was killed!"

Zeng Huaipu continued, "I had to endure it for the time being, so the shop in Jiangzhou was closed first. Fortunately, my Zeng silk business was spread all over the south of the Yangtze River, and it would not affect the closing of one or two stores."

Wen Xuan asked, "Then, is someone here to encourage you to challenge Lin's family?"

Zeng Huaipu said, "That's right."

Lin Yan said, "Who is it?"

Wen Xuan said, "Su Jing'an, the Sect Master of the Su family in Changzhou. Our two families had been in contact before, but they were just polite greetings and had not had a close relationship. One day, Sect Master Su personally arrived and had a long talk with me all night, and invited me to challenge the Lin family together."

Wen Xuan said, "It's really natural!"

Zeng Huaipu said, "That's right, I wanted to go to Lin's family alone to ask for an explanation. This time, with other aristocratic families, I became more determined to go."

Wen Xuan said, "But you didn't expect that what they wanted was your life, and use your life to discredit Mr. Lin."

Zeng Huaipu sighed, "Things in the world are unpredictable, but people's hearts are unpredictable."

Lin Yan said, "That day."

Zeng Huaipu said, "A few days ago, Master Su was injured, so he told me that the last one to play, and clearly told me that those who killed my brother were the subordinates of Mr. Lin Er. This time, if you want to avenge your brother, you must kill Mr. Lin Er on the ring. Even if you sacrifice your life, you will be willing to sacrifice."

Wen Xuan said, "Did you agree?"

Zeng Huaipu replied, "Yes, I agreed. I went to the ring with the determination to die, but I didn't expect that I was not dead in battle, but was framed to death."

"Why were you suddenly crazy on the ring that day?" Wen Xuan asked.

"I don't know. At that time, I was about to fight for life and death with Mr. Lin, but suddenly my blood flowed backwards and my brain was blank. I didn't know what I was doing. I could only hear a voice calling me. Wherever that voice was, I would cut to wherever that voice was. Whatever the voice told me to do, I would do whatever it was."

"Do you know that you bumped into the sword of Mr. Lin Er?" Wen Xuan asked.

"The huge pain made me awake, but I could no longer speak. I watched Mr. Lin stop the bleeding for me, and I knew that I had been in the other person's words. Slowly, my eyes could not be opened, and I heard a voice saying 'I'll do it', and then a steady stream of power was poured into my Yintang's eyebrows. The pain was relieved immediately, and my body felt and had strength. After a while, I felt that I had recovered."

Wen Xuan nodded and gave a bow, "Zeng Zeng, Sect Master, told me all my money, I believe what you said is true."

Zeng Huaipu replied with a bow and said, "Now I think about it, the whole incident is really suspicious. My Zeng family is weak and I hope that Lin family can find out the truth and give my brother justice."

Lin Yan said, "It's certain."

Zeng Huaipu said, "There is another matter, please inform the young master of the truth."

Wen Xuan said, "What's the matter? Sect Master Zeng said it's okay."

"Although my Zeng family is superficial, I have not heard of this kind of medical skill in saving people. Can you tell Zeng Mouyi Er?"

"Well," Wen Xuan touched his nose, "I won't say much about the ancestral skills."

Zeng Huaipu hesitated for a moment and said, "Since Mr. Wen is unwilling to tell me, Zeng will not force me. He still wants to thank Mr. Wen for his life-saving grace. He set up a banquet under him and asked the two to enjoy the glory."

Wen Xuan said, "You are polite to Master Zeng, so I won't bother you. Master Zeng is at ease in practicing. Who said that small families cannot cultivate the path of immortality?"

Lin Yan also got up, gave a bow, and went out with Wen Xuan.

The Zeng family members were still glaring at the door, Lin Yan turned a blind eye, and Wen Xuan greeted him, "Let's go away, let's go away. It's not what you think."

The two left Zeng's house, Wen Xuan stood side by side with Lin Yan, smiling from time to time and talking to Lin Yan, suddenly realized that Lin Yan was one fist taller than him. "Hey, Lin Yan, I always thought we were the same taller, but I didn't expect that you were one punch higher than me!"

"Then, you, a little longer?"

Wen Xuan burst out laughing, "I can't just make myself grow taller just to win, forget it, if you win height, you have to give in to me elsewhere! In this way, we will be even!"

"good."

"Then buy me a pot of Yushan Zui first."

"Yushan drunk?"

"Yes, I have drunk the fine wine produced in Yuzhou once or twice before, but I don't remember what the taste is."

"Okay, we'll find a restaurant later."

"Okay, OK!"
