Snow Color

Chapter 214 Tianlong 8 Part 40

On this day, the three of them came to Suzhou. Xueying came here and saw the beautiful scenery, birds singing and flowers blooming, and many exquisite buildings. She was very happy. As the saying goes, "There is heaven above and Suzhou and Hangzhou below", it is indeed true.

However, Xueying's most important goal in coming here was not to have fun, but to find a woman - Wang Yuyan. Xueying had heard about Wang Yuyan's deeds and knew that she was very smart and had an excellent memory. She could guide others in competitions just by reading the martial arts secrets. But she put all her thoughts on Murong Fu, which was a wrong person.

"Tuanzi, Wang Yuyan is a bit difficult to deal with." Xueying was not sure how to accept Wang Yuyan as her apprentice. She felt that this matter was very tricky.

"Yingying, don't worry. I have just investigated. Mrs. Wang has gone out and will probably not be back for several days. This period of time is just right. You can go to Mantuo Villa to find Wang Yuyan and take her as your apprentice." Tuanzi said confidently.

"Tuanzi, the problem is not here. It is not difficult for me to accept Wang Yuyan as my apprentice, but the key lies in how to tell Mrs. Wang about this. How could Wang Yuyan leave her mother and home with a stranger whom she has just known for a few days? This is the most difficult part." Xueying patiently explained the difficulty to Tuanzi.

"Okay Yingying, it's indeed troublesome." Tuanzi sighed helplessly.

"Don't worry, let's think of a solution after we meet Wang Yuyan." Xueying comforted him. Although we don't know what to do now, maybe we can come up with a perfect solution by then. After all, there is always a way out when the car reaches the mountain!

Afterwards, Xueying, Duan Yu and A Zi found an inn close to Taihu Lake to stay in, planning to continue their journey the next day.

That night, Xueying left Qingyang to look after the two of them, and then went to Mantuo Villa alone.

Not long after, Xueying successfully arrived near Mantuo Villa. She carefully stepped ashore and tiptoed forward. However, there was a rather tricky thing at the moment: how to find Wang Yuyan's location?

Xueying was thinking about whether to ask Tuanzi for help, but suddenly she remembered that this guy had gone out to play and was not in the space at all. It was really a pity that when she needed its help, she couldn't find it!

Xueying had no choice but to hide her figure, carefully listening to the conversations of the maids coming and going, and judging by the direction they were walking. Xueying followed all the way, and during the period, she also noticed the unusually beautiful flowers blooming in Mantuo Villa. Although these flowers were beautiful, Xueying felt a little uncomfortable when she thought that they were all nourished by corpses. So she quickened her pace and left the place as soon as possible. After some exploration, Xueying finally found Wang Yuyan's residence.

Xueying came to the place where the secret book was placed and found Wang Yuyan reading the book seriously. She looked at Wang Yuyan carefully and sighed in her heart: "As expected, she is somewhat similar to Senior Sister, but she has more fairy spirit and a gentler and kinder personality."

At this time, an uninvited guest broke into Mantuo Villa, obviously coming for the martial arts secrets. Xueying did not intervene, she wanted to observe the strength of the villa's guards. However, it turned out that she overestimated the guards, and the intruder quickly broke through the defense line and came here.

When he saw a child, he thought he could easily get the child. However, Wang Yuyan became alert after hearing the noise and immediately turned away. The man saw this and held Wang Yuyan hostage, threatening everyone not to act rashly.

Xueying couldn't bear to watch it any longer, so she threw a stone secretly, hitting the man's arm accurately. The man let go in pain, and Wang Yuyan took the opportunity to break free. The servants rushed forward and captured the intruder.

"Miss, it was my fault for being careless. Please punish me."

"It's okay, nothing has happened, just clean up." Wang Yuyan said softly.

"Yes, ma'am."

After they went down, Wang Yuyan closed the door. "Come out, I know you helped me." Wang Yuyan just realized that it was not these people who helped her but someone else, so she guessed that there must be someone else helping her in secret.

"You are very smart." A cold voice sounded, and then a figure slowly fell from the beam.

"Who are you? Why are you here?" Although Wang Yuyan did not feel any hostility from the other party, she was still full of doubts about the appearance of this mysterious man.

"My name is Gu Hao, with the courtesy name Yunzhi, also known as Gu Xueying. Or according to seniority, you can call me my mother's uncle, which means you are my great uncle." Xueying stated her identity frankly.

"Uncle-master?" Wang Yuyan couldn't help but feel a little puzzled, because she had never heard of who her mother's parents were, so naturally she had no idea whether there was such a person as uncle-master.

"Yes, I am your great uncle. Perhaps this incident can make you believe my identity." As soon as the words fell, Xueying flashed and displayed exquisite lightness skills.

Wang Yuyan's eyes widened, and she said in surprise: "Lingbo Weibu! You can actually do Lingbo Weibu, are you really my great-uncle? But why have you never been here, and why have I never seen you before?"

Xueying smiled and explained, "In fact, if you just look at my appearance, you will understand that your mother and I are not that far apart in age. Although your grandmother and I were sisters in the past, we did not have many common topics due to the large age difference. We only maintained an ordinary brother-sister relationship. So it is natural that you have never met me."

"So that's how it is. Hello, Uncle-Master, I'm Wang Yuyan." After careful observation, Wang Yuyan discovered that Xueying was performing the Lingbo Weibu technique from the secret book brought by her mother, which made her trust Xueying's words a little more.

"You are reading martial arts secrets, and I see that you have a good memory and good eyesight, but why don't you practice martial arts?" Xueying asked directly.

After hearing this question, Wang Yuyan frowned slightly and asked back: "I don't like fighting and killing, what's good about this?"

Xueying smiled and said, "It's normal that you don't want to fight, but if you want to avoid being involved in disputes in the martial arts world, then it is necessary to have a certain amount of force. After all, in the martial arts world, no one can predict what will happen in the future."

Wang Yuyan was silent for a moment, then asked, "But even if you learn martial arts, you can't guarantee that you won't get hurt!"

Xueying shook her head and replied, "That's right. Martial arts can't completely prevent you from getting hurt or dying, but at least it can give you more opportunities and possibilities. If you don't have any martial arts skills, then once you encounter danger, you can only be slaughtered by others. If you have a certain level of martial arts, then even if you face a strong enemy, you will be able to fight. Of course, if you really can't beat the opponent, you can choose to run away."

She paused and continued, "So, learning martial arts is not about pursuing killing, but about making yourself stronger, more confident, and safer. As long as you master the correct methods and techniques, you can use martial arts appropriately, without hurting others and protecting yourself."

After hearing what Xueying said, Wang Yuyan fell into deep thought. She had to admit that what Xueying said made sense. If she continued to bury herself in martial arts books like she is now, but never put them into practice, what would she do when she encountered danger in the future? Was she really going to sit there and wait for death? Thinking of this, she couldn't help but feel a little scared.

Finally, she nodded and said softly: "I understand... Thank you for your reminder. Perhaps I should re-examine my thoughts and actions."

Xueying encouraged her with a smile, saying, "It's okay. Everyone needs time to grow and change. I believe that as long as you are willing to work hard, you will definitely gain something. I see that you have good qualifications, and I would like to take you as my apprentice. You can think about it carefully. If you have this idea, you can come to me. I will come again tomorrow." After that, she turned and left, leaving Wang Yuyan sitting there alone, thinking quietly.
