Chapter 50: Reunions Aplenty

You Longsheng nodded. Indeed, after Shen Daotong, the Divine Blade Hall had firmly established itself within the Pass. Not only had they carved out a place for themselves, but their might also shook the northern lands.

However, before Bai Tianyu could continue to showcase his prowess, he was besieged by Ding Baiyun and Ma Kongqun, who had gathered thirty of the best experts of their generation. He met his end at the Meihua Temple on Mount Heng, and his head was taken. Nineteen years later, his skull was burned to ashes, and his remains were consumed by Ding Baiyun.

You Longsheng shuddered once more, feeling a chill run down his spine.

It was indeed bitter cold during the winter solstice.

"Alright, I understand. I will pay a visit to Baiyun Manor in seven days." You Longsheng said.

You Ji asked, "Should I prepare a congratulatory gift for the Manor Lord? Should we send a sword this time?"

You Longsheng shook his head decisively. "Of course not. My relationship with Yuan Qiuyun hasn't progressed to that level yet, and it's not appropriate to send weapons as a wedding gift. Uncle Ji, you can decide on the gift."

"Yes!"

You Ji responded and left with You Teng.

As You Longsheng watched their retreating figures, he mused, "Uncle Ji's martial arts skills are also formidable."

"Of course!" Duan Qian said, "Eight years ago, when the Taihang Five Tigers entered the manor to seize the sword, the previous manor lord didn't even need to take action. Uncle Ji, with a single palm strike, crushed their heads into their bellies."

You Longsheng nodded. Currently, within the Hidden Sword Manor, aside from himself, the most skilled in martial arts was probably You Ji. His Iron Palm could split mountains and stones, and his might overwhelmed most opponents. You Longsheng estimated that his strength was comparable to Tie Chuanjia.

You Teng, his son, was also exceptional. While managing the manor's iron smelting and sword forging affairs, he personally honed his craft, cultivating formidable strength. His punches and kicks packed a tremendous punch, and there was a high chance he would surpass his father.

Additionally, the Hidden Sword Manor had two sword instructors who were considered half-disciples of Cangjian Laoren. Their sword techniques were impressive, and they led nearly a hundred disciples, forming the foundation of the Hidden Sword Manor's strength.

Duan Qian and Feng Wan were the cream of the crop among them, and their sword skills could be considered top-notch in the martial arts world.

It was because of the loyal You Ji and You Teng that You Longsheng dared to leave the manor and travel the Jianghu, exploring the world carefree.

...

Seven days later, at Baiyun Manor.

The sky was high, and the clouds were clear—an auspicious day for a wedding.

"The Lord of the Hidden Sword Manor has arrived! Offering a peck of pearls and a pair of white jade screens!"

"It's an honor to have Brother You here to celebrate, Yuan Qiuyun is deeply touched by your kindness!"

"Brother Yuan is too kind. As fellow members of the Shanxi martial arts community, I must come and celebrate your wedding, Brother Yuan." You Longsheng replied.

Right at the manor's entrance, You Longsheng met Yuan Qiuyun, who was receiving the guests.

Yuan Qiuyun wasn't particularly handsome, but he had a decent appearance, and despite his young age, he already exuded a sense of benevolence.

However, he was overshadowed by the striking young man standing beside him. With a slender figure, a handsome face, long fingers, and a calm aura, he stood out even more with two enchanting ladies by his side.

"And this is..."

"Li Donglai, I've long admired the reputation of Manor Lord You."

"I am the sword-wielding escort, Li Donglai. Manor Lord You, your fame precedes you!" Li Donglai cupped his hands in greeting.

Wow, news sure travels fast in the Jianghu! You Longsheng clicked his tongue. If possible, he really didn't want to face Lan Xiezi and Da Huanxi Nu Bodhisattva.

You Longsheng sighed. Lan Xiezi was one thing, but he had confidence in his verbal sparring and wit to match her. However, when it came to Da Huanxi Nu Bodhisattva...

Using words? He probably wouldn't be able to satisfy her.

"You're too kind. The main credit goes to Li Tanhua's unmatched skill with the divine blade. I couldn't defeat Iku or Wudu Tongzi," You Longsheng said humbly.

Seeing more guests approaching from behind, You Longsheng bowed to the two men and proceeded into the main hall on his own.

Baiyun Manor was incredibly wealthy, and both Yuan Qiuyun and his father conducted themselves with integrity. Thus, they had many acquaintances on the surface. The main hall was already packed with guests, not to mention the front courtyard.

As soon as Yu Longsheng entered the hall, he heard someone calling out to him. "Big... big sister?"

The caller was none other than Zangan the Elder's eldest daughter, You Lanzhi, and sitting beside her was her husband, Peng Yue, the current head of the Peng family, known for their Five Tigers' Severing Blade technique. Their twin children, Peng Lie and Peng Hui, were also with them.

Damn! Peng Lie?

Yu Longsheng finally recalled.

No wonder he could be friends with Yuan Qiuyun's son, Yuan Qingfeng, and even enjoyed Ma Kongqun's hospitality and Cui Nong's service beyond the border. So, this Peng Lie was the son of the Peng family head.

What a shameful good-for-nothing! He didn't even dare to draw his blade against Fu Hongxue.

But it was good that he didn't, or else his big sister would be without a son now.

"Why are you and brother-in-law here in person?" Yu Longsheng walked over, intending to sit beside You Lanzhi.

However, Peng Yue waved him over, "Why are you sitting next to your sister? Come, sit here and keep me company for a drink!"

The Peng family's Five Tigers' Severing Blade technique was known for its fierceness and dominance, and Peng Yue himself embodied those traits. Seated in his chair, he exuded an aura akin to a tiger reigning over the mountains, an intimidating presence.

But Yu Longsheng was unafraid. He sat down beside Peng Yue and asked, "Have you been bullying my sister?"

"Eh?"

Both You Lanzhi and Peng Yue were taken aback. After all, Yu Longsheng used to be rather fearful of Peng Yue.

"Of course not!" Peng Yue pouted, "It's already good that she doesn't bully me."

The Zangan Manor did not discriminate against female successors, and You Lanzhi had learned Zangan the Elder's sword techniques. While her martial arts skills might not be as exceptional as Peng Yue's, she was by no means helpless.

Hence, she wouldn't be bullied.

Yu Longsheng nodded, "That's good. If you bully my sister, I'll bully your son!"

Peng Lie and Peng Hui's faces paled at his words, and before Peng Yue could react, You Lanzhi sighed, "Your sister's husband's son is also my son, isn't he?"

Yu Longsheng nodded and turned to the two children, especially Peng Lie, and said, "You are the offspring of the Peng and You families. You must not be lackadaisical. Strive to cultivate, for if I find out you're slacking off, I'll take you to Zangan Manor and give you a good training session."

Peng Lie was only five years old, and his little face paled at the threat. He wondered why his once amicable uncle had suddenly changed.

"Little brother, what's wrong with you?" You Lanzhi asked, puzzled.

Yu Longsheng shrugged, "After traveling and witnessing the vastness of the world, and encountering top-notch masters, I realized how narrow my previous perspective was. After all, we are part of the martial arts world, and if our skills aren't up to par, it could cost us our lives!"

He was giving them an excuse, a way to explain why he seemed so different, so that those closest to him wouldn't suspect that he had been replaced.

Peng Yue nodded in understanding, "You're right. You've grown up, little brother-in-law."

You Lanzhi's expression softened, and the look she gave Yu Longsheng held a hint of tenderness.

...

As for the Wang family of Taiyuan, it was the third young master who had come, so Yu Longsheng did not get to see his second sister and brother-in-law.

However, he did recognize many familiar faces from The Borderland Swordsman—Xue Bin, the founder of the Heroic Manor; Yi Dajing, the Iron-Handed Gentleman; and Guo Wei, the Divine Blade, to name a few.

Of course, there were also the head of the Flying Geese Sect, the chief escort of the Qingshan Escort Agency, the Iron Master of Wutai Mountain, the head of the Pang family of Luliang, the abbot of the Xuankong Temple at Heng Mountain, and many other prominent figures of the Shanxi martial arts world.

Liu Donglai had participated in the siege against Bai Tianyu, and Yuan Qiuyun's martial arts skills were no weaker than Liu's. It was no surprise that their wedding attracted such a distinguished crowd.

Yu Longsheng wondered if any of these people had been among those who had besieged Bai Tianyu and perished at the Meihua Temple.

He observed them with great interest, as if he were seeing...

"Bodies littering the fields, and rivers flowing with blood..."
