The heavens began with the Divine Condor becoming the disciple of the Old Urchin.

Chapter 42: Differences

The next morning, Qian Jin took Xiaolongnu and left Zhongnan Mountain, embarking on a journey to find Yang Guo.

Qian Jin wasn't in a hurry. He took Xiaolongnu sightseeing along the way, and while they were enjoying themselves, he also took the opportunity to inquire about Yang Guo's whereabouts.

However, not to mention Yang Guo, they couldn't find out a single thing about Lu Wushuang either.

That shouldn't be the case. Could it be that the path he and Xiaolongnu are taking now is not the path Yang Guo was taking?

But it doesn't matter, Qian Jin remembers that Yang Guo seems to encounter Yelü Qi during this period.

So let's go to Yelü Qi's place this time!

This is also a good opportunity to visit this senior brother I've never met before.

Upon hearing Qian Jin's plan, Xiaolongnu couldn't help but feel curious and asked:

"Young Master Qian, aren't you a disciple of the Quanzhen Sect? How come you have a senior brother from Mongolia?"

Upon hearing this, Qian Jin smiled and said:

"No, you're wrong. I'm a lay disciple of Quanzhen, not a true Quanzhen disciple. My master, the Old Urchin, is Wang Chongyang's junior brother. He only had two disciples in total."

One is my senior from Mongolia, and the other is me.

Upon hearing this, Xiaolongnu realized that Qian Jin was not Wang Chongyang's disciple, and then asked:

"Aren't lay disciples of Quanzhen and Quanzhen disciples all Quanzhen disciples? What difference could there be?"

"Of course there is a difference."

All Quanzhen disciples are Taoist priests, but Quanzhen lay disciples have no restrictions whatsoever; they can marry and have children.

The two walked for a while longer and saw a village not far away where more than a hundred warhorses were gathered, and a group of Mongol soldiers were feeding the horses.

Seeing this, Qian Jin said:

"Miss Long, there are so many Mongol cavalry gathered here. There's a high chance that there's a high-ranking Mongol official among them. Let's go in and investigate. Maybe we can follow them to see my senior brother."

Upon hearing this, Little Dragon Girl nodded and said:

"So, shall we just go over there?"

"Well, but those outside are all low-ranking soldiers. After we enter the village, we'll observe them first, and then go straight to find their leader."

The two men plunged into the village and immediately discovered that in the largest house, light was shining through, and they could vaguely see an official in brocade robes sitting with his back to the window.

Upon seeing this, Qian Jin couldn't help but smile slightly and said:

"This man seems to hold a high-ranking position; let's ask him about it!"

After saying that, he led Xiaolongnu through the window and entered.

When the official in the brocade robe saw someone suddenly barge in, his face immediately darkened. Without saying a word, he launched a powerful Eagle Claw attack at Qian.

Qian Jin's martial arts skills are now comparable to those of the Five Great Masters of the era. This official in brocade robes actually dared to fight Qian Jin, which was naturally asking for trouble.

Qian Jin simply turned slightly to the side, then casually pulled the official in brocade robes to the ground with a single move, before stepping on him.

This official in brocade robes had studied martial arts under a famous master of the Eagle Claw Sect and was very confident in his skills. However, he never expected that he would be subdued by the opponent in a single move and unable to move at all.

He was incredibly shocked, thinking to himself that the martial arts skills of these two who had suddenly appeared were probably the strongest he had ever seen in his life.

So he quickly said:

"My name is Yelü Jin, and I am honored to have your honorable names."

Upon hearing this, Qian Jin immediately released Yelü Jin and asked in return:

"Since your name is Yelü Jin, I wonder who Yelü Qi is to you?"

Yelü Jin stood up, then hesitated for a moment before looking at Qian Jin and Xiaolongnu, and asked again:

"Both of you are highly skilled martial artists. May I ask what brings you to see my brother, Yelü Qi?"

Upon hearing this, Qian Jin patted Yelü Jin on the shoulder and laughed:

"Haha, you don't need to be so nervous. Since Yelü Qi is your brother, then we are on the same side."

Yelü Qi and I happen to be fellow disciples.

Yelü Jin was overjoyed upon hearing this. He knew that Yelü Qi had been taught martial arts by a master in his early years, and he never expected that there would be a fellow disciple with such remarkable martial arts skills.

So they quickly treated Qian Jin and Xiaolongnu as honored guests.

He later learned that Qian Jin was actually Yelü Qi's junior brother, and the other beautiful woman was Qian Jin's good friend, Miss Long from the Ancient Tomb Sect.

However, judging from their relationship, they are most likely a couple who are both martial arts enthusiasts.

So wait a minute, is he going to arrange two superior rooms for the two of them, or just one superior room?

Yelü Jin was deeply conflicted.

He couldn't just ask directly, because if he offended the two heroes, that would be his fault.

After much deliberation, Yelü Jin finally steeled his resolve and said:

"Master Qian, the conditions in this village are limited. The room I am currently staying in is the best room in the village."

"If you two heroes don't mind, I'd like to offer you this place."

Upon hearing this, Qian Jin smiled and said:

"That's not a good idea! How can we, the two of us, take up your room?"

We people of the martial world don't have so many formalities; just arrange any room for us.

"No, no, no, I, Yelü Jin, have always respected heroes and valiant men the most. It is my honor that you two great heroes can stay here."

"I will immediately send someone to tidy up the rooms for the two heroes."

Yelü Jin insisted on giving the room to Qian Jin and Xiaolongnü, and Qian Jin, unable to refuse, let him go.

Seeing that Qian Jin agreed, Yelü Jin left satisfied.

Fortunately, he was quick-witted.

He said that this Dragon Heroine and Master Qian couldn't possibly be just good friends!

If he had actually believed what Master Qian said and foolishly arranged two superior rooms for them, wouldn't he have done the wrong thing with good intentions?

……

The next morning, Qian Jin and Xiaolongnu set off together with Yelü Jin's entourage.

A few days later, the group arrived at a large city.

After arranging accommodations for Qian Jin and Xiaolongnu, Yelü Jin was preparing to host a banquet to properly entertain them.

Just then, a servant came to announce that the master had arrived.

Upon hearing this, Yelü Jin was about to go out to greet them when the door was suddenly pushed open, and a middle-aged man walked in with a man and a woman.

"Jin'er, you didn't expect me to come in person, did you!"

Upon seeing Yelü Chucai, Yelü Jin was both surprised and delighted. He immediately stepped forward, knelt down, and said:

"Your son greets Father."

After Yelü Jin finished his greetings, he addressed the man and woman behind Yelü Chucai:

"Second brother, third sister, you've all come too."

The man and woman were Yelü Qi and Yelü Yan. Upon hearing this, they both addressed Yelü Jin as "elder brother."

After the family exchanged greetings, Yelü Jin asked Yelü Chucai:

"Father, why did you come in person? I didn't know anything beforehand!"

Upon hearing this, Yelü Chucai said:

"I came here in person because there is an important matter that I must personally oversee."

After speaking, he noticed that besides the guards, there were two strangers in the room, a man and a woman. He then addressed Yelü Jin:

"Who are these two people?"

Upon hearing this, Yelü Jin couldn't help but laugh:

"Haha, I don't recognize this hero, but you, my second brother, should be quite familiar with him!"
