Imperial capital, Zeng family mansion.

This is a vast complex of ancient buildings with flying eaves, brackets, carved beams and painted buildings, each of which exudes a strong ancient Chinese charm.

Deep in the mansion, a nine-story building rises from the ground, named "Zhaixing Tower".

The building is majestic and imposing, as if it can reach the sky and pick the stars.

At this moment, on the terrace on the top floor of Zhaixing Tower, a figure appeared particularly strange.

He was a blond-haired, blue-eyed foreigner with a high bun and dressed like a Taoist priest.

He wore a purple Taoist robe with a pattern of stars in the sky densely embroidered with gold and silver threads, and on the chest was a striking Yin-Yang Tai Chi Bagua diagram.

In addition to the Taoist robe, he also wore a flowing crane cloak, giving him an immortal look.

This person is none other than Zeng Jianguo, the Great Martial Immortal who ranks 13th on the Chinese Martial Immortal List and is known as "The Master of All Calculations in the World."

He was also one of the earliest martial immortals in China, one of the founders of China's martial arts education system, and the first patriarch of the Zeng family.

What’s interesting is that this influential figure in China’s martial arts world was actually an ordinary diplomat sent to China by the White Eagle Federation before the invasion of the Abyss.

The abyss descended, the world was in chaos, and international transportation was cut off, so he was stranded in China.

By chance, he came into contact with Chinese martial arts, and once that happened, he was hooked.

From then on, he made rapid progress on the path of martial arts and eventually became a martial immortal.

Later, he gave up the idea of ​​returning to the White Eagle Federation, gave himself an authentic Chinese name, and married a Chinese female warrior.

Today, the Zeng family has grown to the fourth generation, and Zeng Yi's generation no longer has any white features.

At this time, Zeng Jianguo was leaning against an ancient tea table, sipping the fragrant tea leisurely.

He squinted his eyes, shook his head from time to time, and hummed a few lines of Peking Opera excerpts from his throat. Although the tone was not very standard, there was a sense of comfort in being immersed in it.

"~I was originally a casual person in Wollongong~"

"~Using yin and yang to protect the world~"

"The late emperor went to Nanyang...huh?"

Just as he was humming to his heart's content, suddenly, an indescribable wave quietly swept across the observatory.

Zeng Jianguo shuddered all over, his hand holding the teacup froze in mid-air, and the leisurely and comfortable look on his face disappeared in an instant.

He stood up like lightning, without even having time to put down his teacup, and bowed respectfully ninety degrees towards the empty sky.

"teacher!"

His voice had a barely perceptible tremor, yet was filled with utmost respect.

"Get up."

A voice that was neither male nor female, neither old nor young, and so plain as to have no characteristics, suddenly rang out in the depths of his mind.

Upon hearing this, Zeng Jianguo not only did not feel offended at all, but became even more humble.

He first followed Taoist etiquette and solemnly bowed three times to the sky before slowly standing up.

"I wonder what instructions you have for me, teacher?" Zeng Jianguo asked cautiously with his head lowered, his tone full of awe.

The mysterious voice echoed in his mind again: "Don't interfere in the feud between the Gu and Zhang families."

Zeng Jianguo was slightly startled, a hint of surprise flashing through his mind, but he did not hesitate for a moment and bowed again: "Yes! Disciple obeys!"

He didn't even ask the reason, as if every word in that voice was an order that could not be disobeyed.

As soon as he finished speaking, the invisible wave that enveloped the observatory suddenly dissipated, like water vapor evaporating, leaving no trace, as if everything before was just an illusion.

Zeng Jianguo still maintained his bent posture. After more than three minutes, when he was sure that the breath had completely gone away, he slowly straightened his back and let out a long sigh.

After standing for a while, he sat down again, picked up the slightly cold tea and drank it all in one gulp, trying to calm down.

"Zhang family...Gu family?"

Zeng Jianguo muttered to himself, his brows furrowed, his eyes full of confusion.

He pondered over and over the teacher's brief instruction, but still couldn't figure it out.

I just asked my son to warn Zhang Yansheng.

Why did the old "teacher" have to come in person for such a trivial matter?

This... is too...

Is there any hidden story behind the feud between the Zhang and Gu families?

The implications are so deep that even teachers need to pay attention?

The more Zeng Jianguo thought about it, the more he felt something was wrong. He always liked to explore the secrets of heaven, and now he was even more itchy.

He took out three silver-shining White Eagle Federation one-dollar coins from his pocket, clasped his palms together, muttered silently for a moment, and then scattered them on the table in front of him.

Repeat this six times.

When all six lines were revealed, Zeng Jianguo couldn't help but raise his brows slightly.

The hexagram is complete.

Kun on top and Zhen on bottom is the "Fu Gua".

Five yin lines are on top, and one yang line is born below, just like in the long cold winter, the first weak but tenacious ray of yang energy quietly sprouts, indicating that the darkness is about to pass and vitality is recovering.

"Resurgence... the return of the sun brings a new beginning..."

Zeng Jianguo twirled his beard, his blue eyes flashed with thought, and a meaningful smile gradually appeared at the corner of his mouth.

"Interesting, interesting, really interesting..." he murmured, with a hint of indescribable excitement in his voice.
