"...a question, how much strength did you show just now?"
Zhang Rishan pondered for a moment, gently opened the two fingers on his neck, and asked softly.
Both of them understood that they had no ill intentions towards each other, it was just a simple test.
However, Zhang Yueshan, who was originally prepared to use seven points of his strength, sensed something was wrong at the first moment of the fight and decisively attacked with all his strength.
But Hu Ming...
Seeing Hu Mingfeng's calm demeanor, Zhang Yueshan was a little unsure.
"Seven points, probably."
Hu Ming thought for a while and casually reported a number.
"Seven points? I understand, it can't exceed five points at most, right?"
"Young people nowadays are really scary. I have been practicing two-finger caving since I was eight years old. It has been a full century now, and I still can't compare to you in my skills."
So, Zhang Rishan is a good person.
As people age, they become more refined. Basically, no matter what kind of person they are, you can understand everything at a glance.
Don't tell me, he was right. Just now, Hu Ming only showed three points of strength, which was indeed lower than five points!
"Five points? Are you kidding me? I can suppress you in five minutes?"
Yin Nanfeng's heart trembled, and he looked in disbelief at the two people sitting opposite the sofa who were drinking tea.
She knew Zhang Yueshan very well. It was an exaggeration to say that he was invincible with his kung fu, but after the Buddha left, he really could not find any rival in Sijiu City.
"So, my eldest niece, you are still too young. There is a better world than a human being."
"You still don't allow me to be a peerless genius? In front of genius, time and hard work are meaningless. And you don't really think that the old guy in front of you is the most powerful in the Four-Nine City, right?"
Hu Ming snorted in displeasure.
Hu Ming did not believe that there were not many hidden masters in the capital city of Forty-Nine City. Even if there were not those who could defeat Zhang Rishan, there would definitely be those who could draw with him!
Otherwise, Zhang Rishan would never be so comfortable!
"Tsk, so, none of you two immortals are easy."
"The old immortal has lived for more than a hundred years. What about you, Uncle Ming, I am very curious, how long can you live?"
Sitting next to Hu Ming, Yin Nanfeng crossed his legs with an air of aura.
The white calves were clearly exposed in Hu Ming's eyes.
"Who knows, I'm still young, and there will still be a long time to come. Even Adjutant Zhang, I'm afraid he can live for at least twenty or thirty years."
"And...little brat, what kind of immortality is this? Please remember it clearly!"
"I, Hu Ming, will always be eighteen years old! Zhang Yueshan, e. will always be in my early twenties!"
Hu Ming emphasized as a brain popped into Yin Nanfeng's forehead.
This girl is really addicted, her moans are getting smoother and smoother.
This is a problem and it needs to be cured.
Yin Nanfeng was stunned.
Since she was a child, she has been appreciated by her aunt, designated as the leader of the new generation, and received a strict education.
This kind of slightly intimate fight was the first time in my life.
As for the incident of watching Hu Ming before...that doesn't count, it was just an accident at most.
"Hahaha, Hu Ming, Zhang Qiling...you really have a close relationship with him, right?"
Seeing the interaction between the two, Zhang Yueshan smiled warmly and changed his words to indicate something.
"The relationship is irreversible? I have only met him twice."
"Once, it was the ruins of the Demon Kingdom in the Kunlun Mountains twenty-three years ago, and the other time was the Lu Palace a few days ago, what do you think?"
Hu Ming didn't hide it either. This kind of thing could not be hidden under careful investigation.
What's more, Zhang Qiling, the last patriarch of the Zhang family, has attracted the attention of countless caring people.
"...Is he okay?"
"The real Zhang family has long existed in name only, and he is the only one left running around for ancient responsibilities. It must be difficult, right?"
Zhang Yueshan sighed melancholy.
The lineage he belongs to left the Zhang family with Zhang Dafo and his son, came to Changsha to take root, became the outer sect of the Zhang family, divided the family, enforced the law, and became one of the nine sects.
However, after all, they are also the Zhang family, and he also has Qilin blood. This is an indelible connection through blood.
"Haha, what do you think? You know better than me the problems of every generation of Zhang Qiling. He has always been wandering in the land of China. Before that time comes, he is just searching in vain for his lost memory.
But thanks to this disease, he forgot what your Buddha did to him!"
Hu Ming looked at Zhang Rishan, whose face was full of shame, with a trace of ridicule flashing in his eyes.
"And...Adjutant Zhang, let me tell you a piece of news for free."
"Prince Lu and his party, we all got what we wanted, Wu Sansheng got the information we wanted to know, and my little brother... got the ghost seal of King Lu Shang."
"Do you understand what I mean?"
Holding the antique tea set collected by Zhang Qishan in his hand and playing with it carefully, Hu Ming lowered his eyes and said in a deep voice.
"Guixi!? That's right, I should have thought about it. King Lu Shang... the time is almost up for the second key. What else could he go there for besides Guixi?"
"This matter is ultimately Jiumen's fault...but Buddha and I also owe Jiumen a lot, and of course we feel sorry for him! This is an incomprehensible and confusing debt."
Zhang Rishan's face changed slightly, and after a long while, he said with a wry smile.
After all, guarding the Bronze Gate continuously has been the Zhang family's responsibility since ancient times.
The reason why we cooperate with and support the Nine Sects is to select outstanding candidates from the Nine Sects to fulfill their responsibilities for the declining Zhang family.
However, in these years, too many changes have occurred in Jiumen.
The key, one of the only two keys, is now in the hands of Jiumen, but Jiumen has no intention of doing so. Zhang Qiling went to get the other key out of necessity.
Likewise, he and Lord Buddha felt sorry for Zhang Qiling. After all, Lord Buddha imprisoned Zhang Qiling before to please his superiors. You should know that Zhang Qiling had helped them before! So Zhang Rishan also understood that what they had done before was disgraceful!
"..."
Yin Nanfeng subconsciously held Hu Ming's arm and watched silently as the two of them talked about the secrets of the mysterious Zhang family.
She is a smart person. Although she has doubts in her heart, just like a cat scratching her head, she always controls it very well and never interrupts the conversation between the two of them abruptly.
"Want to know?"
"The real Zhang family has long existed in name only. Except for some secrets that must not be revealed easily, the rest no longer matter. If I have time another day, I will tell you."
Hu Ming comforted Yin Nanfeng casually, glanced in the direction of the door, and then looked seriously at Zhang Yueshan.
"Tonight, you should be more than just my guest. There is not much time left for us to chat."
"So, let's put all this nonsense aside for now and let's talk about it. Adjutant Zhang, why did you come to me? Or rather, what did Mr. Fo want you to tell me before he left?"
Zhang Yueshan smiled and said: "I really can't hide it from you..."
As he spoke, Zhang Yueshan took out a simple palm-sized sandalwood box from the hidden compartment under the coffee table...
