Zhang Yuzhen knew Ye Liang much better than Qin Shoufeng.
She understood all too well why Ye Liang, despite having the power to turn against her at any moment, hadn't.
All of this was to avoid putting her master in a difficult position, so Zhang Yuzhen was truly grateful to Ye Liang.
She quickly changed the subject and continued to introduce the people around her to her husband, saying, "Husband, this is the old lady of the Song family, and also a senior of my Bixian Sect!"
"Greetings, Madam! I never imagined that you were once a disciple of the Bixian Sect, and even a senior of Yuzhen!" Qin Shoufeng greeted the old lady warmly.
"This old woman greets Sect Leader Qin! I have long heard of Sect Leader Qin's reputation for righteousness and chivalry. Meeting him today, I can truly say that seeing is believing! I am deeply impressed by Sect Leader Qin's heroic demeanor!" Han Feng praised Qin Shoufeng's prestige in the martial arts world.
This is also what Qin Shoufeng is most proud of.
In the martial arts world, he earned the reputation of a great hero.
"Senior, you flatter me. It's all too kind of you, fellow martial artists. My skills are too low; I really don't deserve the title of 'great hero.'" Qin Shoufeng declined modestly, but being praised as a great hero naturally put him in a very good mood.
Zhang Yuzhen then introduced Qin Shoufeng to the masters of Cangzhen Sword Pavilion: "This is Master Shen, a master of Cangzhen Sword Pavilion."
"So you're a master from the Hidden True Sword Pavilion. I even visited the Hidden True Sword Pavilion when I was young! It was an unforgettable experience. The Hidden True Sword Pavilion is a truly prestigious and righteous sect, dedicated to saving lives and healing the wounded in the martial world, and they have a very high reputation. I've long wanted to get to know them, but unfortunately, as the current sect leader, I'm burdened with many sect affairs and can no longer travel around as I used to. Alas!" Qin Shoufeng sighed, looking very regretful.
"Sect Leader Qin, you flatter me. The Yanbing Sect is a pillar of the righteous path in the martial world, and Sect Leader Qin's reputation for chivalry is renowned throughout the land. My Cangzhen Sword Pavilion has long desired to establish a friendship with the Yanbing Sect. Now that we know that Sect Leader Qin visited my Cangzhen Sword Pavilion in his youth, we have an even stronger connection. It is certainly a good thing that our two sects should become allies and work together to contribute our modest efforts to the righteous path of the martial world!"
The masters of the Hidden Sword Pavilion are indeed diligent and conscientious; every word they utter is about eliminating demons and protecting the righteous path.
Qin Shoufeng also said, "That's how it should be, that's how it should be!"
The master from Cangzhen Sword Pavilion said, "Sect Leader Qin has traveled a long way and must be tired. Now that you've just returned, you should rest for a while. We can discuss things in detail tomorrow. Sect Leader Qin, what do you think?"
"We'll do as the master says!" Qin Shoufeng readily agreed.
"Please." Qin Shoufeng readily agreed, and the master was also pleased.
"Please." The group invited them to enter the Song residence together.
The group entered the Song residence one after another. In the distance, they saw a young girl in a green dress and an old man in a gray robe. The two seemed ordinary, yet they were not.
Qin Shoufeng recognized them immediately; they were members of the Evil Sect. He was furious: "People from the Evil Sect, what are you doing here! The Song family is also entertaining people from the Evil Sect, and Master Shen is turning a blind eye to this?"
To start a accusation without even asking what happened is an unpleasant thing to hear.
Ye Liang stepped forward and took responsibility for the matter, saying, "They are friends I invited. This matter has nothing to do with my master, the old lady, or the grandmaster. This is my private matter, and it has nothing to do with my grandmaster either."
"What kind of attitude is this!" Qin Shoufeng had found Ye Liang agreeable before, but now, looking at him, he suddenly felt that this kid was too unruly and simply didn't like him.
“Master, as I said, this is my private matter. You are my master, and you can't decide what friends I make. I don't want to argue with you about this. I'll take my leave now.”
Ye Liang respects his elders, but he is not blindly obedient, because respecting elders means abandoning principles.
Besides, Master's attitude towards Lin Yan was very unreasonable. She was his friend. If he didn't stand up for her at this time, would he deserve to be called a human being?
"Yuzhen, look what kind of disciple you've taken in!" Qin Shoufeng immediately turned his anger on his wife, Zhang Yuzhen.
"Don't you dare yell at my master! Otherwise, don't blame us for being impolite!" Although the junior sister was impulsive, this time she truly cared for her master and immediately stepped forward, not out of impulse.
Yo-yo, Little Deer Bao'er angrily shook her head, her little hooves scraping the ground as she gathered her strength, as if ready to launch an attack at any moment along with her junior sister.
Qin Shaoyang had never felt that his father was so shameful.
"Father! What's wrong with you! My brother Ye and all the senior sisters are working hard at the door in this sweltering heat, waiting to welcome you, and you throw a tantrum as soon as you arrive! You weren't like this before!"
If he weren't a son who couldn't speak ill of his father, he would have said that his father was unreasonable.
Seeing that the situation was beyond repair, the master of Cangzhen Sword Pavilion stepped forward to smooth things over, saying, "Sect Leader Qin, this matter is a long story. I think you should go with Sect Leader Zhang into her house, listen to her, and learn more about the matter before making a judgment. To be honest, the martial world today is no longer the martial world of our predecessors. The martial world today belongs to the young people. In their eyes, we are all old relics."
After saying this, the master of Cangzhen Sword Pavilion bowed and then hurriedly left.
"What does this mean? How could a master from the Hidden Sword Pavilion say such disheartening things?" Qin Shoufeng found it unbelievable.
"Sect Leader Qin, you must be tired from your journey. Please settle down as soon as possible. I have many matters to attend to at home, so I will take my leave now." Madam Han Feng, with a slightly cold expression, immediately took her leave from Qin Shoufeng under some pretext, a stark contrast to her previous respect for him.
In truth, although Qin Shoufeng had a great reputation in the martial arts world, it was ultimately just an empty reputation.
