Martial Arts: Starting from a Seemingly Real System

At daybreak, two agile figures, one big and one small, were practicing martial arts in the yard.

After Qiao Rui returned from Qinglian Pavilion yesterday, he gave his previously treasured sharp blade, the Cloud Patterned Moon-Chopping Knife, and four intermediate martial arts books to Huang Jingxuan.

Then he wrote a letter to Feng Wuya to inform him of the cooperation, and went to investigate the Beggar Gang stronghold in the dark of night. He did not have time to give Huang Jingxuan careful guidance, so he woke Huang Jingxuan up early this morning to practice martial arts.

At this point Huang Jingxuan had decided on the direction of his martial arts training. He used the advanced palm technique Shaolin Vajra Palm and the advanced sword technique Arahant Breaking Precepts Sword as his main means of attack, and relied on the top-level internal martial arts Emei Nine Yang Gong, supplemented by the top-level light martial arts Xiaoyao Lingxu Jue. He was simply a replica of Qiao Rui.

Qiao Rui had already passed on two of the three top martial arts before he entered Shaolin to Huang Jingxuan. After he had sorted out his own martial arts and laid a solid foundation, he would learn the Dragon Subduing No Regrets Palm. When his internal strength increased to the late second-rate level, he would be able to jump levels and compete with masters who had just entered the first-rate level.

As the sun rose, the master and disciple finished their training. Qiao Rui took Huang Jingxuan to the horse market to choose a top-quality yellow horse, which made Huang Jingxuan jump up and down with joy.

Which man doesn't like riding a horse across the world?

During the time when Qiao Rui left Longxing City, Huang Jingxuan secretly rode his master's precious horse, Lilong Horse, out of the city to play. Later, Tian Jing and Sister Juan'er moved into the Qiao family's house. Tian Jing was afraid that Huang Jingxuan would get into trouble, so she ordered the boy not to ride the horse out of the city. Huang Jingxuan was very envious of riding a horse for a while, and this time he had his own beloved horse, so he was naturally overjoyed.

The two men rode to the main branch of Yunlai Inn, where Chen Nian and Lu Jia were already waiting.

After Chen Nian was promoted to Dianshi, he promoted his younger brother Lu Jia to be the head of the police force and took over his vacant position. This time, they came to investigate the missing child case with Qiao Rui.

After having breakfast at the inn, the four of them rode their horses all the way to Qiao Rui's hometown, Qiaojiazhai on Wohu Mountain.

"Did you get anything last night?" As they approached the village, the men slowed down their horses and Chen Nian asked Qiao Rui in a low voice.

"I didn't find anything unusual." Qiao Rui shook his head. He explored the stronghold given by Chen Nian and several halls of the branch temple last night, but found nothing. As for the remaining two important places, the Jiangyou branch and the Longxing City branch, he did not act rashly and planned to find another opportunity to explore them alone.

It seems that he did listen to some of the Grand Commander's advice.

"But don't worry. The higher-ups are already aware of this case, and they should send someone else to follow up. Just do your best and don't worry about anything else." Seeing that Chen Nian seemed worried, Qiao Rui smiled and comforted him.

"That's great. Thank you very much!" Upon hearing this, Chen Nian was no longer worried. It is easy to be an official if you have someone in the court. The ancients were right.

Qiao Rui was not polite and nodded and smiled at Chen Nian, accepting his thanks.

"arrive!"

Turn from the official road into the forest path, pass through the woods, and the view in front suddenly opens up. Dozens of quaint houses are scattered in the open area among the woods.

"grandfather!"

Qiao Rui dismounted and handed the reins to Huang Jingxuan. He shouted towards a yard and walked over quickly.

In the small farmyard, the warm winter sun is shining brightly. An old man is squatting under the eaves, puffing on his pipe.

"Xiao Rui, you're finally back!" When the old man saw that it was Qiao Rui, he excitedly stood up and greeted him.

"Well, you're back. Grandpa, are you okay? I heard that you were sick not long ago." Qiao Rui helped his grandfather back to the yard and asked with concern as they walked.

"I'm glad you're back. I'm fine." The old man took a few steps and suddenly stopped. He turned to face Qiao Rui, with a stern look on his wrinkled face. "I heard that you have several women outside? And you gave birth to a baby?"

"Um... I guess so!" Qiao Rui was stunned for a moment, then he said vaguely with a smile.

Although the terrain of Qiaojiazhai is somewhat closed, it is not isolated from the outside world after all. When you go out to the market, you can hear some rumors and gossips about the martial arts world.

The most popular and widespread rumor nowadays is that Qiao Rui caused a big disturbance in Shushan and tried to snatch the bride from Huashan, so it was not surprising that the old man heard some of it.

"Stop smiling at me!" Seeing that Qiao Rui didn't seem to care, the old man got furious. He raised his pipe and hit his grandson on the butt, scolding him as he hit him.

"You've really become quite capable. You've become so bad after being out there for more than a year."

Snapped!

"I'll let you be a playboy."

clap clap!

"Let you cheat on little girls everywhere."

clap clap clap!

Qiao Rui did not dodge and let his grandfather vent with a smile. When the old man was tired of beating him, he ran back to the house and brought a chair for his grandfather to sit down. He then called Huang Jingxuan, Chen Nian and others who had tied up the horses to come in, then he half-knelt beside the old man and rubbed his legs.

"Xiao Rui," the old man reached out and touched his grandson's head, his eyes full of love, but his tone was a little dissatisfied, "Since you already have a child, you can't let the girl down!"

"No!" Qiao Rui smiled, his face full of tenderness. An old person at home is like a treasure. Sometimes, it is a kind of happiness to hear the nagging of the elderly at home occasionally.

"Alas, how can you be worthy of Xueyun by doing this!" The old man sighed. With outsiders present, he couldn't teach his grandson too much.

“……”Qiao Rui’s face froze, then he smiled and didn’t answer.

"Grandpa, we come to see you again!" At this time, Chen Nian led Lu Jia over and greeted them with a smile.

Huang Jingxuan on the side thought for a moment, then bowed earnestly and said, "Hello, old master!"

"This is my apprentice Huang Jingxuan." Qiao Rui pointed at Huang Jingxuan and introduced him.

Chen Nian and Lu Jia came here to investigate a case a few days ago, so there is no need to introduce them.

The old man looked at these people, his heart moved, and he asked anxiously: "Is there any news about Xiao Yunlei?"

"We do have some clues, but Qiao Rui wants to know more, so everyone accompanied him back to conduct another investigation." Looking at the old man's expectant eyes, Chen Nian couldn't help but lie. In fact, there is still no clue about this case so far.

"Well, okay, everyone, please don't be polite. Take a stool and sit down!" The old man greeted Chen Nian and the others, then turned to look at Qiao Rui, "What do you want to ask?"

"Let's start with the appearance of Xiao Yunlei." Qiao Rui said with a smile.

"Hmm!" The old man's cloudy eyes were a little blurry, and his thoughts were lost in memories.

"On September 11, the weather was not cold yet. I got up early and opened the door. I found a package at the door that seemed to be moving.

I took a closer look and found that it was actually a baby, little Yunlei. The kid didn't cry or make a fuss. He bit his fingers and swayed from side to side in the cradle.

I picked him up and rushed out to look around. I didn't know which parents would be so cruel as to abandon such a cute little kid.

The little guy is pretty and cute, and he is not shy. He just sucks his fingers and looks at me with a silly smile. The more I look at him, the more I feel that this child is destined to be with me, so I decided to adopt him and make him your godson in the future."

Listening to the old man's story, Qiao Rui was in a trance for a moment, and the beautiful figure of his first wife Jiang Xueyun unconsciously came to his mind.

Isn't it Xueyun's normal state to laugh foolishly and heartlessly like a fool?

Moreover, Xiao Yunlei was deliberately abandoned at the door of his house. Could it be... that he was his and Xueyun’s child?

Thinking of this, Qiao Rui was so excited that he almost blurted out to tell his grandfather that that was not your adopted great-grandson, that was your biological great-grandson.

At this moment, Qiao Rui suddenly thought of a key issue and then quickly calmed down.

No, Xiao Yunlei can’t be his and Xueyun’s child!
