The heavens began with the Divine Condor becoming the disciple of the Old Urchin.

Chapter 53: Mount Hua

The three sat in the room for a long time. As it grew dark, Yelü Qi and Wanyan Ping finally came in from outside.

Upon seeing this, Yelü Yan immediately shouted:

"Second brother, second sister-in-law, you two finally decided to come in. If you hadn't come in, we would have starved to death."

It turned out that Yelü Qi and Wanyan Ping had opened their hearts to each other for the first time, and naturally they had a lot to say.

So after Qian Jin pulled Yelü Yan into the house, the two poured out their hearts to each other and unknowingly forgot the time.

By the time they realized what was happening, the sun had already set.

They hurriedly came in together. Now, hearing Yelü Yan's outburst, Wanyan Ping's face turned bright red, and she wished she could find a crack in the ground to crawl into.

Upon seeing this, Yelü Qi glared and said:

"Third sister, don't talk nonsense."

"How can you talk nonsense! We haven't eaten all day. You two are having a good time out there, but we're the ones who are suffering."

Upon hearing Qian Jin's words, Yelü Qi quickly said apologetically:

"Junior Brother Qian, it was my oversight. I'll have someone prepare the meal right away."

……

Soon, a table full of fine wine and food was laid out.

Qian Jin poured himself a glass of wine and said to Yelü Qi:

"Senior brother, this toast is for you, and I also wish you and your wife a long and happy marriage, and many children."

"Thank you, Junior Brother Qian."

Yelü Qi said something, then immediately picked up his wine cup and drank it all in one gulp.

Seeing that Yelü Qi had finished drinking, Qian Jin chuckled and said:

"Senior brother, if I hadn't taught my sister-in-law three moves and gone through all the trouble to persuade her to come back, your love would probably have remained hidden in your hearts for the rest of your lives."

So, I wonder, how exactly do you plan to thank me?

"this……"

Yelü Qi was taken aback by the question, then replied solemnly:

"I, Yelü Qi, will forever remember my junior brother's kindness to me."

From now on, whatever my junior brother needs my help with, I will do my utmost without hesitation, no matter what it takes.

Qian Jin laughed upon hearing this and said:

"Senior brother, there's no need to exaggerate. I have something I'd like to ask for your help with."

Because I suddenly remembered that there was something important I had to do, I didn't have time to teach my two newly accepted disciples martial arts.

So I wanted my senior brother to teach them martial arts in my place.

Upon hearing that Qian Jin only wanted him to teach martial arts, Yelü Qi immediately patted his chest and agreed, saying:

"Don't worry, junior brother. I've always taught Third Sister her martial arts. It's just that before, because Master was unwilling to acknowledge me, I didn't dare to teach Third Sister many martial arts techniques without permission."

Now that she has become your disciple, I can confidently pass on my knowledge to her.

"My junior brother just mentioned two disciples; I wonder who the third one is?"

When Yelü Qi saw that Cheng Ying was always following Qian Jin, he assumed that she was Qian Jin's new apprentice, so he couldn't help but look at Cheng Ying.

Wanyan Ping sat down next to Yelü Qi. Seeing that he was looking at Cheng Ying, she quickly reached out and tugged at Yelü Qi's sleeve, saying:

"Where should I look? I'm the other apprentice Brother Qian was talking about."

Yelü Qi was taken aback upon hearing this, and exclaimed in surprise:

"When did you also become Junior Brother Qian's disciple?"

"Brother Qian has already taught me three moves to deal with you, so he must be my master."

Upon hearing Wanyan Ping's words, Yelü Qi was somewhat stunned.

The third sister became Qian Shidi's apprentice, and now even her future wife has become his apprentice. This relationship seems a bit complicated.

……

The next morning, Qian Jin bid farewell to everyone and, with Xiaolongnu and Cheng Ying, embarked on the road to Mount Hua.

Qian Jin, mounted on his horse, watched as Xiaolongnu and Cheng Ying followed on either side of him, and said:

"You two are just following me around like this, aren't you curious about where we're going?"

Upon hearing this, Little Dragon Girl said softly:

"From now on, wherever you go, I'll go with you, so it doesn't matter where we go."

Upon hearing this, Qian Jin turned to Cheng Ying and said:

"And you? Aren't you curious at all?"

"Brother Qian, it's the same for me. My master told me to follow you and roam the martial world, so wherever you go, I'll go too."

"..."

Seeing that both of them had the same attitude, Qian Jin didn't bother to explain.

He went to Mount Hua because he remembered that Hong Qigong would probably be chasing the Five Ugly Men of Tibet during this period, eventually reaching the summit of Mount Hua.

Later, they will encounter Ouyang Feng here, and the two will fight until one of them is superior.

In the end, both of them exhausted their inner strength and died on the summit of Mount Hua.

In Qian Jin's opinion, it was truly a pity that Hong Qigong died in such a way.

This senior official was upright and honest throughout his life. He once said that he had killed 231 people, all of whom were villains, including corrupt officials, local tyrants, and unfaithful people.

He was also the only one among the Five Greats who was righteous and dared to say that he had never done anything wrong.

How could he not try to save such a true hero?

The three of them traveled northwest, and the road became increasingly desolate.

When they were hungry, they would hunt some wild game to fill their stomachs; when they were tired, they would find a cave to rest in.

Qian Jin has already mastered the art of catching sparrows to its highest level, so he only needs to pull a rope in the cave to sleep on it with Xiaolongnu.

Cheng Ying was quite envious of such a skill.

The next morning, when Qian Jin and Xiao Longnv woke up, Cheng Ying had already gotten up early and prepared breakfast for them.

This made Qian Jin feel a little embarrassed.

"Little sister, I originally wanted to take you on adventures in the martial world, but now you're the one taking care of me everywhere. This makes me lose face."

Upon hearing this, Cheng Ying said:

"Brother Qian, I did all these things voluntarily."

"When I was with my master, I took care of him in the same way. Now that I'm with Brother Qian, it's my responsibility to do these little things."

Upon hearing this, Qian Jin shook his head and said:

"Island Master Huang is old and is also your master. How can I be the same as him?"

Since you call me Brother Qian, then we are the best partners. Good partners need to take care of each other.

Instead of having you take care of us all the time, understand?

"Um!"

Cheng Ying nodded gently, her heart filled with warmth.

She had been orphaned since childhood, and this was the first time in all these years that someone had spoken to her so sincerely.

Brother Qian and Sister Long are a match made in heaven. If she can stay by Brother Qian's side and take care of them in the future, she will have no regrets.

Although Qian Koujin kept saying that they should take care of each other, he was careless and could not compare to Cheng Ying's meticulousness.

So apart from Xiaolongnu occasionally helping out, Qian Jin was always taken care of meticulously by Cheng Ying most of the time.

As time went by, Qian Jin gradually got used to Cheng Ying's care.
