Qu Lian pulled back his wrist, refusing to answer Yan Changge's question. He picked up his chopsticks and started eating, not even looking at the other person's eyes, intending to drown himself in the delicious food.
"Why are you so disobedient? Your body is your own." Seeing that Qu Lian was embarrassed, Yan Changge could not say anything more to criticize her. He just sighed helplessly and said, "Since I have already made a move, I will not give up halfway. It's just that you have been lacking in Yang energy for too long, and I can't replenish it all at once. Don't be impatient, give me some time."
Seeing that Qu Lian still didn't look up, Yan Changge touched his hair helplessly, and took his own meal back to his room as usual. Yan Changge didn't plan to eat grains. He was not like other creatures who cultivated into human form. He really didn't need to eat anything. To digest these foods, he had to waste his body's true essence. Moreover, Yan Changge's body was burned by fire since he was born. He was really the purest and spotless cultivator in the world. Even if he didn't care about the true essence, he didn't plan to eat things full of impurities.
After returning to the room, he used his true energy to destroy all the food, leaving not even a speck of dust. After a while, he pretended that he had already eaten and took down the empty bowl. Then he heard Qu Lian talking to Qu Feng.
"Hello, uncle, I'm Xiao Lian. No, no, I didn't do anything wrong. Uncle, what you said, if I didn't do anything wrong, I can't miss you?" Qu Lian saw Yan Changge coming down, made a "huh" gesture to him, and then said, "Uncle, do you know what happened to Wang Yanfeng before? No, no, why would I like him? It's just that I was kidnapped by him. I have been rescued and will testify in court. Uncle, don't worry, I won't let this kind of martial arts loser go unpunished."
Yan Changge sat next to Qu Lian, listening quietly to his conversation with Qu Feng.
"Uncle, since you know about Wang Yanfeng, I have something to discuss with you. When I was kidnapped by Wang Yanfeng, a hermit of ancient martial arts named Yan Changge saved me, so I hired him as my bodyguard. Who knew that this man was so capable? He just watched the video of my father practicing martial arts and restored our family's introductory skills. He said that as long as he was shown more profound moves, he could defeat the Qu family. All the mental methods have been restored... Uncle, don't get excited, don't get excited, take the quick-acting heart-saving pills first, and drink some water! He is not a liar, definitely not a liar, with his silly and good-natured appearance, he can only be fooled by others, how could he cheat others. And he has already written the introductory mental method to me, uncle, I will take it to you for identification tomorrow... What? You want to come over now, there is no need, it's so late... Hello, hello?"
Qu Lian put down the phone and said to Yan Changge, "See, I told you my uncle would come running right over here."
"I'll clean up the room to welcome the guests." Yan Changge stood up and said.
As a precious sword that circulated in the homes of the rich and powerful, Yan Changge had a good understanding of hospitality. He immediately cleaned the room, went to the yard, and asked the big Xiaomao and Xiaobalu to squat on both sides of the gate, while Xiaomi and Xiaohua stood guard at the door. I don't know how he did it, but after saying a few words, these stray cats and dogs, who had never been trained, squatted obediently in their respective positions.
Qu Lian: “…”
Then Yan Changge quickly boiled some water, took out some fine tea and fruit from the refrigerator, and placed them on the table.
"There's no need to be so formal," Qu Lian said casually, "We're all family, there's no need to be polite."
"Because he is a family member, we should make him feel at home." Yan Changge, however, had a different view, "When entertaining guests, we only need to be polite, but when treating family members, we need to be more attentive."
"You are such a sentimental person." Qu Lian praised.
Yan Changge just looked at him and didn't answer.
He was somewhat confused about what kind of person he was in Qu Lian's eyes. He was so murderous that people were intimidated. Every time Shen Yifei saw him, he would involuntarily become hostile and look for weapons, but Qu Lian would always come over to him and get close to him; he had killed countless people and his body was stained with the blood of countless creatures, but he did not have much sympathy for humans and other creatures. All his actions were just for the sake of merit, but Qu Lian praised him from the bottom of her heart as a good person; his heart was made of black iron, without blood or tears, and he did not understand what human feelings were, but Qu Lian praised him for being sentimental.
He has been trying hard to be a human being according to his own understanding of human beings, but he is not clear about how he is in the eyes of human beings. Yan Changge is very curious about the world in Qu Lian's eyes.
But now is not the time to ask, and asking just one person is not enough. Yan Changge secretly kept this in mind and planned to ask about it when he had time.
It didn't take long for Qu Feng to fly from the old house to the new city where Qu Lian lived. No one knew how hard he stepped on the accelerator to arrive in such a short time.
He was probably in his fifties, but he took good care of himself and looked no more than forty years old. Qu Lian looked somewhat like him, but Qu Feng was more majestic, while Qu Lian was more beautiful.
Most people who met Qu Feng, even if they didn't know he was a wealthy man, would be intimidated by his imposing aura and dare not look directly at his face. But this ancient martial arts hermit named Yan Changge was different. He looked into Qu Feng's eyes openly and even extended his hand. However, Qu Feng had seen all kinds of storms over the years, but he didn't dare to shake the young man's hand.
How terrifying! When Qu Feng saw this man, he felt like turning around and running back to the car to escape. When he entered Yan Changge's aura range, he felt like he was stepping into the realm of death. There was no human presence around him, only icy cold.
Qu Feng had used up all his strength and more than 50 years of life experience to barely stand in front of Yan Changge and not run away, but he really couldn't reach out his hand to touch this person, let alone greet Yan Changge. He looked at his nephew with difficulty and found that this heartless nephew was sitting directly next to this human-shaped weapon, and was not afraid of death and holding Yan Changge's arm. Qu Feng felt pain in his hand just when he saw Qu Lian touching Yan Changge. He always felt that Qu Lian's hand was wandering on the blade, and if he was not careful, his fingers would be cut and bleeding.
Qu Lian had no idea that his uncle was struggling between life and death. Seeing that Yan Changge had extended his hand in a friendly manner for such a long time but his uncle did not give him the face to shake hands, he thought that Qu Feng was trying to intimidate him, so he took the initiative to grab his uncle's hand and put it in Yan Changge's palm.
Qu Feng: “…”
Nephew, don’t I love you enough? Why are you cheating me like this?
Fortunately, Yan Changge had already restrained his sword energy, and Qu Feng only felt that his hands were cold, but there was no feeling of being cut by a knife.
Also arriving with Qu Feng was Qu Feng's son, Qu Lian's three-year-old cousin Qu Rui. Now these two boys are the only ones left in the next generation of the Qu family.
Qu Rui did not have as much experience as Qu Feng. Although he felt that Yan Changge was not a good person at first glance, he did not have as deep an understanding as Qu Feng. He just nodded to Yan Changge and turned his attention to the cats and dogs in the room. These cats and dogs had injuries to varying degrees and were not friendly to humans. Qu Rui, who loved cute animals, could tell at a glance how smart these cats and dogs were, and that they were full of spiritual energy.
"Are these... stray cats and dogs? Xiaolian, are you raising them?" Qu Rui asked.
"It's not me. It's Yan Changge, a nice guy who couldn't bear to see them wandering around and suffering, so he kept them at home. He even plans to set up a stray animal protection foundation after he becomes famous. He's such a nice guy." Qu Lian said, "Uncle, Rui Ge, don't stand outside anymore, come in."
Qu Feng and Qu Rui looked at each other. One was interested in the animals, while the other didn't want to be in the same small space with Yan Changge, and he couldn't help but take a quick-acting heart pill.
Yan Changge naturally saw through Qu Feng's vigilance towards him at a glance. He knew very well what kind of person Qu Feng was and the atmosphere of a confrontation between two soldiers. He naturally understood that Qu Feng instinctively regarded him as an enemy. If this continued, they would never be able to stand on the same front for the rest of their lives, and he had to find a way to break the deadlock.
So Yan Changge said to Qu Lian, "Since Mr. Qu wants to take a walk outside, I will demonstrate the sword skills that Qu family has learned in the courtyard. After all, the room is too small to display them."
After saying that, he walked into the center of the yard, and the murderous aura that had been suppressed for a long time was slightly released. This made Qu Feng even more nervous, and the four little cats and dogs quickly found a corner to hide, and watched Yan Changge's demonstration quietly.
The Qu family excels in swordsmanship, and in order to control the power of swordsmanship, Yan Changge did not use Qu Lian's treasured sword, but broke the handle of the mop and made an iron stick of almost the same length as the sword, intending to use the stick as a sword, which would be easier to control when wielding it and would not hurt people.
The murderous aura pushed everyone into a corner. Even Qu Lian, who always liked to be close to Yan Changge, found it difficult to get close to Changge at this time. In the middle of the huge courtyard, Yan Changge gently waved the handle of the mop. As the mop swung, a gust of wind came from nowhere and gently rolled up in the yard.
"Sword Wind..." Qu Feng sighed. With just one move, he recognized that this was a sword move that could only be performed by using the internal strength cultivated by the Qu family's mental method. He had seen his father and brother use it before, but he himself had never been able to reach the level of Sword Wind because of his lack of qualifications.
The wind swept across the leaves and lawn in the yard along with the mop handle. Although the handle did not touch the leaves, the leaves were blown into pieces by the wind after the handle left the yard, and flew around.
Soon, the ground was covered with broken leaves, and even a few flower petals from the garden floated to Qu Lian's side. But strangely, these petals did not shatter like the leaves, but fell intact into Qu Lian's palm.
"Broken Leaves to Protect Flowers" is the name of this entry-level sword technique, which means that the sword technique can be so accurate that it can break all the leaves on a flower, but can firmly protect the flower among the green leaves. The final standard for every Qu family disciple who practices this sword technique is to use this sword technique on a flower to see if he can tear all the leaves and protect the beautiful flower at the same time. The more powerful a leaf is broken, the more proficient he is in this sword technique.
Qu Feng looked down at the broken leaves on the ground. They were broken into pieces, as if green snowflakes were falling all over the yard, falling to the ground. Only the inconspicuous little flower in Qu Lian's palm was intact.

According to the family diary, even when the Qu family was at its peak, no one could practice this sword technique to such a level. And this person has never learned the Qu family sword technique, but has been able to perform this sword technique to such a degree just by watching the video!
At this moment, all the fear and jealousy towards Yan Changge were thrown behind Qu Feng's mind. He walked quickly into the yard, grasped Yan Changge's hand, and said excitedly: "How did you do it?"
Yan Changge said flatteringly, "I am most familiar with swordsmanship. I have learned thousands of swordsmanships, each of which corresponds to a different mental method. It is precisely because I am familiar with both swordsmanship and mental methods that I can barely restore this set of swordsmanship. If I switch to other weapons or palm techniques or fist techniques, it will not be so easy."
He said it was not that easy, but he did not say it could not be done. Qu Feng raised his sword in shock and asked, "You look younger than Xiao Lian, how can you use such a sword-fighting method?"
Yan Changge's ID card shows that he is 25 years old, the same age as Qu Lian. It is incredible that he has such high martial arts skills at this age.
"This..." Yan Changge thought for a moment and said, "My master has collected a lot of martial arts books from all over the world. I grew up reading these books and I know them all."
There are 365 days in a year, and ten years is only about 3,000 days. If Yan Changge started learning at the age of five, then in the next twenty years, which is only about 6,000 days, he would have learned thousands of sword techniques. This means he learned one set every day. What kind of talent does it take to achieve this?
Of course, these things are not important to Qu Feng. The most important thing is that this introductory sword technique is real, from the inside out, it is all real.
"This... Mr. Yan," Qu Feng was not afraid of Yan Changge's murderous aura at this time. He took the initiative to step forward and shook his hand and said, "Come on, come on, come in and sit down. Xiaolian, go and pour tea for Mr. Yan."
Qu Lian: “…”
Qu Feng gave the order that Yan Changge must not let Qu Lian make tea, because these are all top-quality tea leaves, and only by knowing how to make tea can one taste the most delicious fragrance of tea. How could Qu Lian, who was chewing peonies and drinking beer like a cow, possibly know how to make tea? Letting him go would be a waste of food.
As for Yan Changge, he had been watching how others brew tea when he went to meet guests over the years, so he had some experience in the tea ceremony.
Then he used some unknown method to easily get rid of Qu Feng's hand, and the next second he appeared beside Qu Lian, patted his shoulder and said, "I'll go make some tea."
Qu Lian sat quietly on the sofa. He was used to being taken care of by Yan Changge these days. He also knew Yan Changge's martial arts skills. Naturally, he would not look at him differently just because of his sword skills.
"Xiao Lian," Qu Feng was very glad that he had taken a quick-acting heart-saving pill before going out today, otherwise he might not be able to bear such a big surprise now, "Tell me what kind of person Mr. Wei Yan is."
Yan Changge was in the kitchen making tea and cutting fruit, leaving the space for the family. Qu Lian quickly recounted the experiences of himself and Yan Changge from the time they met until now, and vividly praised Yan Changge's martial arts to the level of a god.
By the time Yan Changge brought the cut fruits and teapot, Qu Lian had already told him everything that had happened in the past few days. At this time, Mr. Qu was confused.
With his many years of reading, Yan Changge is definitely an ambitious, powerful, cruel and vicious person who may have killed many people. However, who is the person who bullies good people like SpongeBob in Qu Lian's mouth? He has no idea! It's not that he doesn't believe Qu Lian's words, but he doesn't believe Qu Lian's emotional intelligence and vision of people. He is afraid that his nephew will be deceived, and he is reluctant to give up the opportunity to restore the inheritance of the Qu family's skills. He decided to test Yan Changge to see why he deliberately approached Qu Lian. If he can bear it, Qu Feng thinks it is completely negotiable.
Seeing people carrying things up, Qu Feng quickly patted his son and said, "Rui Rui, how can you let the guests do it? Go and help."
Qu Rui didn't believe what Qu Lian said either. He immediately stood up and took the teapot from Yan Changge and poured tea for the people. The moment the tea was poured into the teacup, the fragrance of tea filled the air. Even Qu Lian, who didn't like drinking tea on weekdays, felt that the fragrance was really comfortable.
Qu Feng took a sip and praised, "Good tea, good tea art. I didn't expect Mr. Yan to be so proficient in tea art."
"I know a little bit." Yan Changge smiled slightly, hiding his achievements and fame.
"It is an honor for our Qu family to know someone like Mr. Yan. Mr. Yan has probably heard about the Qu family's situation from Xiao Lian. This mental method is vital to us. If Mr. Yan can restore the mental method, then no matter what Mr. Yan's request is, the Qu family will certainly do our best." Qu Feng said.
He said this cleverly, only saying to try his best, but not saying he could definitely do it. Let's see how Yan Changge reacts. Is he satisfied, or...
"No need," Yan Changge said calmly, "It's a good thing to be able to pass on a martial art that is about to be lost. Seeing the Qu family's inheritance continue is the greatest reward for me."
Yan Changge said this sincerely. When Qu Feng saw him perform the sword moves, he had already received the gratitude of the father and son. And inheritance is also a very important matter. After he has restored all the skills, the entire Qu family will be grateful to him, and the heaven will also count merits for him. His reward is enough. It would be even better if Qu Feng could record this matter and pass it down. In the future, every descendant of the Qu family will be grateful to him when they learn this set of martial arts. Such merits are endless.
Qu Feng Qu Rui: “…”
This person sounded so sincere but I couldn't believe it at all. Could there be a bigger agenda behind not wanting anything?
Qu Lian, who was a traitor, was not happy to hear what Yan Changge said. He patted his shoulder and said, "How can you not want anything? Didn't I tell you that my uncle would hire you as the Qu family's priest? You teach the next generation of the Qu family martial arts, and we will help you become famous and make money. Don't always say that money is something outside of your body. Only things outside of your body can help you realize your wishes. Don't forget Xiao Mao and the others. The disadvantaged groups in the country and even the world are waiting for you."
Qu Feng Qu Rui: “…”
Seeing Qu Lian leaning towards him, Yan Changge was relieved and said to him softly, "If I can help you, then I don't have to ask for anything. Besides, I can go to the police station to help with training in a few years, and I should be able to make a name for myself by then."
Being an instructor is also a great merit. Teaching and educating people is a merit that can be passed down through the ages. If Confucius was a cultivator, then for every new person who joined Confucianism, Confucius' merit would increase by one point.
Yan Changge's indifference made Qu Feng seem a little stingy. He immediately agreed with Qu Lian and said, "If it is just such a simple matter, then the Qu family can certainly do it. But is this really all Mr. Yan asks for, nothing else?"
"No more." Yan Changge shook his head.
"Well," Qu Feng gritted his teeth and said, "I wonder if Mr. Yan has time. Let's go to the company tomorrow to discuss the contract, okay?"
"That would be the best," Yan Changge nodded with a smile, "All my expenses are now covered by Qu Lian, even the few pets I brought back have to be taken care of by Qu Lian. It's not good to keep going like this. If the contract with your company can allow me to have some money to repay Qu Lian, that would be the best."
Qu Feng Qu Rui: “…”
This man has saved Qu Lian several times, and he also works as a bodyguard with free food and lodging, but he actually feels a little embarrassed to use Qu Lian's money. Even if he has never saved Qu Lian, he should enjoy this kind of treatment just for his job as a bodyguard. How can someone feel guilty about this?
Is it true or false? Qu Feng and his son looked at each other, puzzled.
No matter what, for the next mental method, even if Yan Changge is a big trap, Qu Feng is willing to jump in. Moreover, now he just wants a status of a worshiper who can take what he needs. Even if Yan Changge does not return the mental method, he deserves this worshiper for his martial arts. It is impossible for Qu Feng not to agree to such a simple request.
Qu Feng will have his legal advisor draft a contract tomorrow morning and have Yan Changge sign it in the afternoon. When he gets home, he will sort out his possessions and give all his past martial arts videos to Yan Changge, waiting for him to further restore his mind skills.
After all this was agreed upon, Qu Feng took the two copies of the mental skills and sword moves that Qu Lian gave him with trembling hands. One was written in Yan Changge's small seal script, and the other was copied by Qu Lian himself. Judging from Qu Feng's expression, Yan Changge probably wrote this copy to keep as a family heirloom. The only one that the descendants of the Qu family had the chance to see was probably Qu Lian's copy.
Before leaving, Qu Rui saw three dogs and a cat standing in front of the door like gatekeepers, looking after them and seeing them off. He couldn't help but ask curiously, "How did you educate these stray dogs and cats? They are so sensible. Do you have some experience in training animals?"
Yan Changge said modestly: "No, it's just that these animals have been wandering outside for a long time and are very human. They can quickly understand what I mean. It's not that I can train them, but they are naturally very smart."
Qu Rui would not believe such words, because looking at the eyes of these animals, it is clear that they all have hatred towards humans. They understand, but they will never obey. However, Yan Changge can make these small animals obey orders, which is really a great method.
After the father and son got in the car, Qu Feng sighed and said, "This Yan Changge... I've lived for so many years, and this is the first time I can't see through a person. He is obviously very cunning, but why is every word he says so sincere? He should be cruel and ruthless, but why are all his actions so kind? It's really... puzzling."
Compared to his father, Qu Rui had much less worries. He looked back at the door that was moving away from him. Two injured dogs turned around and walked into the door, closing the door with their paws and mouths. Qu Rui smiled and said, "When the enemy comes, we will stop him. When the water comes, we will block it with earth. Even if he is powerful, he can't be more powerful than our Qu family. Let's see if he has bad intentions. If it is really like what Xiaolian said, then it's a relief..."
"How is that possible!" the father and son said in unison.
This Yan Changge is really a mystery!
The author has something to say: Next, it will be the moment when Qu Feng and his son will be slapped in the face.
Qu Feng: Yan Changge must have great ambitions and some unspeakable secrets.
Qu Rui: Yan Changge might train animals to kill people
