"But... I didn't do anything, and he can't really forget the past." Qi Yang blamed himself.

"No! You have already done enough! How can you forget the past overnight? You have tried your best, and leave the rest to Zixin!" Ling'er said.

Qi Yang nodded, his abilities were indeed limited.

"Brother Qi Dian stayed in the capital with you later, right? What about your master and mistress?" Ling'er took the opportunity to ask about Qi Yang's past.

"They are not in the Central Plains." Qi Yang looked at Ling'er in embarrassment. He trusted Ling'er, but he swore to his master and his wife that he would never tell others their identities and whereabouts.

"So before you met Brother Qi Dian, you stayed alone in the capital?" Ling'er felt a little distressed. Brother Yang was still a half-grown child at that time.

Seeing that Ling'er had no intention of asking about the whereabouts of his master and his wife, Qi Yang secretly breathed a sigh of relief and replied: "It's not just one person. I have some brothers around me, and they helped me create the 'Qi Family'."

"It turns out that the 'Qi Clan' existed before Brother Yang met Brother Qi Dian. Brother Qi Dian, the head of the 'Qi Clan', really has a 'fake name'!" Ling'er thought to herself.

"What is the girl laughing at?" Qi Yang asked puzzledly.

"I didn't expect you to have accomplished so much at such a young age!" Ling'er praised without hesitation.

Qi Yang's face turned red and he lowered his head and said, "Young lady, I'm laughing at you. It was the first time I arrived in the capital. I had run out of money and was desperate."

"When did you come to the capital?" Ling'er asked him with a frown.

Qi Yang thought for a while before replying: "Fifteen or sixteen years ago, right?"

"Fifteen years ago you were only seven years old! How could your master and mistress have the heart to leave you alone in the capital? Are you not afraid that you will be bullied?" Ling'er looked at Qi Yang in surprise.

Qi Yang laughed when he heard this and said: "I have returned from studying art at that time, so I won't be bullied easily."

"You mean you practiced martial arts before you were seven years old?" Ling'er was surprised again.

Qi Yang nodded.

Ling'er thought proudly: "It turns out that Brother Yang is really a martial arts wizard! I'm quite discerning!"

"It's a pity that during these years in the capital, I have neglected to practice martial arts." Qi Yang said with shame.

With so many shops to take care of during the day and masked knights at night, how can there be time to practice kung fu? However, actual combat against the enemy can be regarded as kung fu practice, but... Ling'er felt sad when she thought of the scars on Brother Yang's body.

"Afterwards, I joined the Yixing Clan, so I no longer have the time to practice." Qi Yang felt helpless.

"By the way, when did you join Yixingmen?" Ling'er took the opportunity to ask.

"Six years ago. Perhaps my master felt that I was wasting my martial arts skills, so I asked me to go to Xiayun Ridge. During that year in Xiayun Ridge, I did learn a lot and my martial arts skills improved a lot."

Qi Yang recalled with a smile on his lips.

Ling'er was curious about what interesting things happened in that year. She suddenly remembered that Dr. Xu had mentioned that Yixing envoys must go through a year-long brutal training. Was it then?

Ling'er asked tentatively: "Is this the introductory training of Yixingmen?"

"That's right!" Qi Yang nodded without thinking.

It turns out that Brother Yang was the envoy of Yixing as soon as he joined the Yixing Sect! This is because Ling'er once asked Dr. Xu that the introductory training for ordinary members of the Yixing Sect lasted only one month and would not last as long as a year.

In other words, Brother Yang received various trainings during the year he was in Xiayunling. But why did he feel so happy when he recalled those cruel trainings? Ling'er didn't understand.
