Instructor’s deep affection, the disciple is profoundly grateful and shall repay this debt in the future!”

“You do have a discerning eye!”

Ye Zhiqiu responded with a hearty laugh and proudly said, “This Extreme Move, I learned from the North.

It is neither a heritage of the Formless Divine Sect nor military martial arts, which is why I can teach it to you.

Although it does not perfectly match our Formless Sect’s Cultivation Technique like your ‘White Horse is Not a Horse’, magnifying divine might exponentially and especially terrifying, it is still a first-rate Upper Grade secret move among those below the Fourth Grade, and it also contains a thread of ‘Heavenly Dao Rhythm.’

“However, if you want to use it in actual combat, you still need to integrate it into your swordsmanship and finger technique.

This move originated from the Returning Horse Spear and can be integrated into various types of martial arts – sword skill, gun technique, finger technique, swordsmanship, staff skill, etc., and it performs best with saber, sword, and spear.

“When combined with the mental method of Chasing Lightning Finger, driven by the Hand of Wind and Lightning Control, and executed with the Yan Ling Saber, its power is greatest.

If you want to further enhance the power of this saber, you must practice diligently and comprehend deeper levels of the Martial Arts True Intent.”

“Disciple understands,” said Chu Xisheng, his eyes flickering.

Of course, he could not say that he had already mastered this Extreme Move and integrated it into his own martial arts.

“However, Instructor, I still have some confusion about the Eighth-Level variation of the Wind and Thunder technique from a few days ago, and I would like you to help clarify it—”

Chu Xisheng had barely spoken when Ye Zhiqiu raised a hand to interrupt, “Next time, we’re almost at Xiushui City now, and I just want to get back to the Martial Arts Academy soon.

I’ve been out for over a month, and I have no idea how the disciples in the Eastern Courtyard are doing.

“Also, Xisheng, you should also take it easy in your martial arts practice.

It’s good to be diligent, but you have to understand the principle of ‘too much is as bad as not enough,’ and the balance of tightening and relaxing in martial and literary pursuits.

You cannot pull the bowstring too tight.”

As Ye Zhiqiu spoke, she deliberately looked downstream and noticed that the Ancient Market was already in sight.

She felt a secret relief within.

She pondered over Chu Xisheng’s comprehension, which was becoming more frightening by the day.

If she had returned even a couple of days later, she might have had nothing left to teach, which would have been quite embarrassing.

She herself practiced sword and palm techniques, advancing in the Nine Palace Sword to ‘Divine Thunder Nine Palace Swordsmanship’ and the Cloud Clearing Palm to ‘Cloud Clearing Formless Palm’!

How could she possibly focus too much effort on saber and finger techniques?

Ye Zhiqiu’s proficiency with the Chasing Wind Saber and the Chasing Lightning Finger was only between the Seventh and Eighth Layers.

Moreover, Chu Xisheng practiced these two types of martial arts very comprehensively.

He asked many questions that Ye Zhiqiu had never even considered.

Only with ‘Light Cloud Jump’ could Ye Zhiqiu still provide some guidance.

Ye Zhiqiu couldn’t help but sigh inwardly; her prideful nature was really not beneficial.

To protect her pride, she had even revealed her most powerful secret moves.

For a move like ‘Return Charge Slash’, others would have to spend twenty thousand demon silver to learn it.

This time, she had really given a bargain to this fellow—

At a distance, Ji Qianqian, however, smiled cynically.

She clearly understood Ye Zhiqiu’s predicament very well.

Unfortunately, she could not reveal her identity, otherwise she might have been able to offer some tips to Chu Xisheng.

For some reason in the past few days, whenever she saw Chu Xisheng practicing saber clumsily, she felt an urge to step in and teach him hands-on.

Whenever Ye Zhiqiu scolded Chu Xisheng, Ji Qianqian felt exceptionally displeased.

Chu Xisheng’s comprehension was already extremely high.

Having practiced this Extreme Move containing ‘Heavenly Dao Rhythm’ to such a level in just two days was already quite impressive.

Why was this woman so harsh?

Chu Xisheng, however, did not think too much.

Following Ye Zhiqiu’s gaze, he saw that the East Pier of Xiushui County was already discernible, just a dozen miles away.

Chu Xisheng’s spirit invigorated involuntarily, filled with a touch of anticipation.

He was eager to return home and discuss the mysteries of this saber technique with Chu Yunyun.

Just then, Chu Xisheng’s eyes suddenly sharpened when he saw three large four-level sailboats approaching upstream from the opposite direction, slowly passing by.

These were four ships, each with a capacity of eight thousand materials, with nothing particularly abnormal about them.

However, the flag bearing the ‘Long’ character hanging from the masts of those ships caught his attention.

And the Long Family’s Young Master, Long Heng, was currently standing at the bow of the opposite ship.

This man also noticed their large fleet and looked over.

His face, for some reason, appeared exceptionally pale.

Chu Xisheng’s eyebrows furrowed slightly as he called Li Dehou, the incense master from the Iron Banner Gang headquarters, to his side.

“Brother Dehou, what’s going on ahead?

Didn’t Uncle Kuang order that the Long Family not be allowed to sail downriver?”

Li Dehou immediately explained, “Master Chu, you were far in the Capital and didn’t know, but just twenty days ago, soon after the battle at West Mountain Town, the governor personally intervened, mediated for the Long Family with the Shangguan Family, and directed us not to blockade their ships anymore, and also to cease hostilities with the Seventeen Linked Wharves upstream.”

Chu Xisheng’s frown deepened, “Did Uncle Kuang agree to this?

Just like that, letting them off?”

“Of course, the Flag Leader wouldn’t agree,”

Li Dehou said with a wry smile, “However, the governor was very earnest, and he also invited the Inspector from the State City and the governor from Xunyang County to accompany him.

Not only did he make the Long Family, Shangguan, and three other families pay a total of eighty thousand demon silver, he also ordered Long Heng to wear hemp and filial piety for our brothers who died in the Fire Bone Cave, with three cuts and six holes.”

As he said this, he glanced around and added, “Everyone understands this; those guys just want a chance to breathe.

Sooner or later, we’ll still have to draw swords against them and decide a victor.”
