Chapter 195 Wen Yunhong's Marriage
Nangong Wenrui felt a powerful and warm force surging through his body. This warm current seemed to have a life of its own, quickly flowing to his dantian and settling there steadily.
In an instant, Nangong Wenrui felt his meridians flow freely, and his inner strength surged forth continuously. His eyes blazed as he stared intently at the man in black before him.
The sword in his hand moved with the fierceness of the wind, each strike containing boundless power. Although the man in black was exceptionally skilled, he gradually found himself struggling against the suddenly increased strength of Nangong Wenrui.
Finally, with Nangong Wenrui's final strike, the man in black's attack was completely broken, and he staggered back two steps in a disheveled state.
At the same time, the puppets that had been controlled by the men in black also seemed to have lost their support, scattering on the ground and turning into lifeless piles of dirt.
Nangong Wenrui approached the man in black step by step, looking down at him with a deep voice like thunder: "Speak! Who sent you?"
The man in black sneered, "Hmph! I am the Carefree Swordsman, known to all in the martial world. Who would dare to order me around? I only found this place because I caught a whiff of the Snow Spirit Grass."
Upon hearing the name "Xiaoyao Ke" (逍遥客), Nangong Wenrui's heart skipped a beat. Xiaoyao Ke was a renowned figure in the martial arts world, known for his eccentric personality and unpredictable whereabouts.
Nangong Wenrui clasped his hands in a fist salute to Xiaoyao Ke and said in an icy tone, "So it's Senior Xiaoyao. This junior, Nangong Wenrui, greets you."
Seeing this, the carefree traveler waved his hand casually, a smile appearing on his face, though the smile seemed somewhat enigmatic.
He grinned and said, "Haha, easy, easy, kid, quickly bring me the Snow Spirit Grass so I can take a look."
Nangong Wenrui hesitated for a moment, then reached into his robes and took out a Snow Spirit Grass, handing it to Xiaoyao Ke and saying coldly, "Senior, please take a look."
The carefree traveler held the Snow Spirit Grass in his hand, examining it from left to right. Then, glancing at Nangong Wenrui and Wen Yuxia, he quickly popped the Snow Spirit Grass into his mouth.
Nangong Wenrui already knew that Xiaoyao Ke would eat the Snow Spirit Grass, and he calmly said, "One Snow Spirit Grass in exchange for two years of your freedom, senior."
After consuming a Snow Spirit Grass, the Carefree Traveler felt a warm current coursing through his body. He laughed heartily and said, "I have no children, and no one to whom I can pass on my skills. Boy, give me two more Snow Spirit Grasses, and I will be willing to serve you as my master and pass on all my knowledge to you."
Nangong Wenrui's lips curled slightly. "Deal." He then proposed that starting next year, he would provide Xiaoyao Ke with ten Snow Spirit Grasses annually, and requested that Xiaoyao Ke also take Wen Yuxia and Wen Yunhong as his disciples.
Xiaoyao Ke accepted the two Snow Spirit Grasses handed over by Nangong Wenrui, then gave him the sect's cultivation technique, saying with a smile, "My good disciple, from now on I will follow you. Read the technique through first, and then I will explain it to you."
Nangong Wenrui smiled slightly: "Master, we've been staying in the black market lately. If you don't want to stay here, you can go to Princess Muhua's residence in the capital."
"Wherever you two stay, I'll stay," the carefree traveler said, waving his hand dismissively.
Nangong Wenrui and Wen Yuxia took Xiaoyao Ke home. The butler, Uncle Zhang, arranged a guest room for Xiaoyao Ke, who then returned to his room to continue consuming the Snow Spirit Grass.
Nangong Wenrui and his wife began studying the martial arts manual given to them by Xiaoyao Ke. Wen Yuxia felt that this technique was extremely profound, and there were many secrets she simply couldn't grasp.
Nangong Wenrui's talent was quite good compared to others. He was able to understand about one-tenth to two-tenths of a complex cultivation technique, and he patiently explained it to Wen Yuxia.
Under Nangong Wenrui's careful guidance and assistance, Wen Yuxia gradually grasped the part of the martial arts technique that Nangong Wenrui had mastered.
One afternoon, Nangong Wenrui, along with Wen Yuxia and Xiaoyao Ke, left the black market and appeared in a grove on the outskirts of the capital. They returned to the capital before the city gates closed.
Upon arriving home, Wen Yuxia eagerly urged Wen Yunhong to become her disciple. Then, Xiaoyao Ke began to explain the martial arts techniques in detail to Nangong Wenrui and the siblings.
Days passed by, and before they knew it, three months had gone by. Nangong Wenrui returned to the small world alone.
The entrance to the black market will appear in the distant Cloud Kingdom. Nangong Wenrui must travel through the small world to Cloud Kingdom to open the entrance to the black market.
Xie Qianlian arranged for her cousin Lin Xiaoxiao to marry Wen Yunhong. Lin Xiaoxiao was the only daughter of Lin Guangcheng, the prefect of Jiangnan, and her mother, Xie Bangyuan, was Xie Qianlian's aunt.
Wen Yuxia did not go to the black market with Nangong Wenrui. She stayed in the capital to prepare the betrothal gifts for Wen Yunhong, and planned to go to the Lin family residence to propose marriage after her grandfather, Wen Dashan, arrived.
Xie Bangyuan had already learned about Wen Yunhong's situation from Xie Qianlian and was very satisfied with the marriage. When Xie Qianlian brought Wen Shan and Wen Yuxia to propose marriage, she immediately agreed and set the wedding date for the eighth day of next month.
"Grandpa, my husband is all alone in Jiangnan, and I'm worried about him. The sooner the two children get married, the sooner I can return to Jiangnan. I'll prepare a courtyard for them in the mansion as their bridal chamber," Xie Bangyuan said slowly, a polite smile on her face.
Wen Dashan nervously tugged at his sleeve and said in a hoarse voice, "Yunhong has a residence in Fancheng, and he can also stay at the Princess's Mansion in the capital."
Wen Yuxia had a bright smile on her face. "Grandpa, Yunhong has a house in the capital. The wedding room will be set up in Yunhong's house. The Princess's Mansion will definitely have their own courtyard. After the wedding, they can live wherever they want."
