Chapter 64

After sending the letter, Su Yi felt a temporary relief. The ball had been kicked, and the subsequent matters would naturally be a headache for Qiu Chuji, who would receive the pass. Of course, he still hoped that Qiu Chuji would do his best to handle the matter!

After all, if Bao Xiruo could escape her suffering one day earlier, she could have a happier life sooner. However, thinking about how Bao Xiruo suffered and felt guilty every day over her remarriage, even if she met Yang Tiexin, it would be hard for her to truly let go.

But this was a matter between the couple. Although Su Yi was now their son, he shouldn't interfere too much. However, he had silently decided that if Yang Tiexin showed any dissatisfaction or anger, hmm~ I'll make you understand why the mountain dandelions are so red!

...

After that, life became peaceful and uneventful. Su Yi, who had once been busy, no longer cared about external affairs. He practiced sword techniques every day, cultivated the *Nine Yang Manual* during his free time, and spent the rest of the time chatting with Bao Xiruo, trying to make her life more comfortable...

Su Yi was well aware that his martial arts skills were already top-notch in the martial world. However, compared to Qiu Chuji and others, his shortcoming was the insufficient time he had spent cultivating. In just over a year, if it were an ordinary person, they would have just started. But he had made great strides, reaching a level on par with Qiu Chuji.

It wasn't that this was bad, but it also had extremely dangerous hidden risks.

As the saying goes, Xiao Zhang, although he became the top martial artist at a young age, had practiced the Wudang Nine Yang Gong since childhood and then obtained the *Nine Yang Manual*, which he cultivated for several years! His foundation was so solid that it completely overshadowed Su Yi's...

Therefore, Su Yi's focus after returning to the mansion was on the basics. He practiced sword techniques every day, no longer thinking about advanced strategies like anticipating the enemy's moves or attacking their vital points, but instead focusing on the most basic and simple techniques like chopping, slashing, thrusting, and slicing.

Each move was extremely simple and plain, as if he were a novice disciple who had just started. However, he practiced with great seriousness, doing more than ten thousand repetitions each day.

Su Yi also paid attention to his internal cultivation. With the help of the Quanzhen Sect's internal cultivation techniques, he had successfully cultivated the first volume of the *Nine Yang Manual* in one go. However, he hadn't carefully studied the content, and he had overlooked some subtle changes.

Recently, Su Yi had felt that the Nine Yang True Qi he had cultivated was overly fierce and dominant, lacking the balance and harmony of the Quanzhen Sect's techniques. This shouldn't be the case. As a Buddhist masterpiece, the *Nine Yang Manual* follows the path of pure yang and dominance, but it doesn't abandon the soft and gentle aspects of Buddhist internal cultivation. As the saying goes, hardness cannot last, and softness cannot defend; only a balance of hardness and softness is the way to go. If the *Nine Yang Manual* were merely a dominant internal cultivation technique, it wouldn't have such a high reputation and destiny... It must be that he was too excited when he first obtained the *Nine Yang Manual* and didn't carefully understand its content, leading to the incomplete development of the Nine Yang True Qi in his body, making it inferior.

Moreover, Su Yi knew that in the world of Gu Long, there was a divine skill called the *Wedding Dress Divine Skill*. The cultivation method involved practicing the skill to a high level and then discarding it, starting over. This was called "to use its sharpness, first blunt its edge." The re-cultivated true qi would lose its sharpness but retain its power, and after two rounds of cultivation, it would be even more refined, allowing for the strongest power and complete control.

Since there was a problem with the cultivation of the *Nine Yang Manual*, Su Yi decided to follow the method of the *Wedding Dress Divine Skill* and start over, believing that this would lead to deeper insights and progress.

Fortunately, there was nearly a year before the plot began. Before the plot started, Su Yi was confident that he could completely address all his shortcomings and deficiencies. By then, his martial arts skills would surely make a qualitative leap.

While Su Yi was focused on solving his various issues, Wanyan Honglie finally returned from his official duties. Seeing his son return home, he was extremely happy. Learning that Su Yi had recently developed an interest in fine wine, Wanyan Honglie specially gathered a large amount of jade liquor from the palace, and the two of them got thoroughly drunk together.

It must be said that alcohol is the best way to bridge the gap between people. After a night of heavy drinking, Su Yi's impression of Wanyan Honglie completely changed. Although Wanyan Honglie was cunning and despicable, using all sorts of underhanded methods to get Bao Xiruo, his love for her was no less than Yang Tiexin's, and perhaps even greater.

Just look at how Bao Xiruo had been living alone in a dilapidated house for the past few years, and the couple had been separated for so long. Wanyan Honglie, to show his devotion, had not taken any concubines. Su Yi could only say: Father, you've really suffered! How did you manage to hold out?

Of course, sympathy is one thing, and affection is another. The relationship between them still needed to be clear. If Guo Jing comes to seek revenge, I'll help you block him and save your life. But Bao Xiruo is really not your type, so let her go...

Su Yi indicated that fine wine and sweet talk were no match for him. He would eat the sugar coating and throw the bullet back.

Another noteworthy point is that when Wanyan Honglie returned from his official duties, two figures appeared behind him. Although Su Yi didn't recognize them, he had heard their names long ago.

The Tibetan Esoteric Sect expert—Lingzhi Shangren!

The Immortal Elder—Liang Ziweng!

Seeing the plot characters begin to gather around Wanyan Honglie, Su Yi finally felt a sense of reality. This was truly *The Legend of the Condor Heroes*!

These two were indeed highly skilled martial artists. When Wanyan Honglie introduced them to Su Yi, he even had them teach Su Yi a few moves to give him more means to protect himself!

It must be said that Wanyan Honglie truly cared for his adopted son.

Unfortunately, Su Yi didn't think much of their skills and showed no enthusiasm. When these two saw Su Yi practicing the most basic and crude techniques, they immediately regarded him as a spoiled young master who wanted to practice martial arts but couldn't endure the hardship. After all, hadn't the Quanzhen Sect also not taught him any advanced techniques?

Did they expect to eat the leftovers of the Quanzhen Sect and teach a disciple they didn't want to teach? Liang Ziweng and Lingzhi Shangren were immediately displeased.

A single palm cannot clap. With no enthusiasm on either side, no matter how Wanyan Honglie tried to mediate, it was in vain, so he had to give up!

As for their misunderstanding of him, Su Yi didn't care. Apart from his interest in Liang Ziweng's large snake, these two were really not impressive. You dare to look down on me? If I go all out, you'd be lucky to last a hundred moves against me.

If it weren't for the fact that I'm currently re-cultivating the *Nine Yang Manual* and shouldn't consume those rare treasures before reaching the third volume, and that your snake isn't fully grown, I could gut and eat your precious snake in a moment. Do you believe me?

PS: Today is my grandfather's seventh day. After burning the paper, things were supposed to be over, but unfortunately, my grandmother, who has lung cancer, suddenly had a relapse and is expected to pass away in the next couple of days. They were always very loving, so it's a good thing they can accompany each other on the journey to the afterlife. As a descendant, I can't bear to see her suffer any longer (she is now taking morphine for pain relief).

Therefore, Luohua had to postpone the trip that was originally scheduled for today. However, the promise of three updates per day for the rest of the week will not be broken. From tomorrow to Sunday, there will be three updates each day, but the specific times can't be guaranteed. The scheduled release function is unreliable, so manual updates are more reliable! Additionally, I've been extremely busy recently, so the content may not be as carefully revised as before. If there are any typos or errors, please bear with me! o(∩_∩)o
