Acai's Sky

Chapter 304: Rest (2)…

At noon, the sun shone brightly on the earth, and Lord Lin and his party returned happily to enjoy lunch.

However, unlike usual, they did not choose to take a short rest to restore their energy, but were all in high spirits and full of energy.

Lord Lin gently stroked his thick beard, gazing at his daughter beside him with a smile on his face, and asked softly, "My dear daughter, did you rest well?"

Ah Cai nodded obediently, then walked lightly to sit next to her father and asked curiously, "Dad, why are you and everyone else so excited? You even gave up your lunch break?"

Lord Lin's eyes sparkled as he replied enthusiastically, "Today's competition progressed exceptionally quickly. In just one morning, ten exceptionally powerful champions have emerged. Tomorrow we will enter the crucial final stage of the competition!"

After that, he personally filled a cup of steaming hot tea for his daughter and vividly described the thrilling and spectacular scene of today's competition!

At this time, Li Kai's excited heart had not yet completely calmed down, and he interrupted: "Miss, you don't know, these Jianghu heroes who are here today are all very capable of fighting!"

Butler Uncle Feng cast his gaze towards the knights around him, especially Ah Er, and said with deep emotion:

"These people in our mansion are really experts at fanning the flames and adding fuel to the fire! Whenever those martial arts heroes compete on stage, they cheer and encourage them from the audience... But don't add fuel to the fire!"

Ah Cai was surprised when she heard this. After hesitating for a moment, she asked:

"...stirring up trouble? They did it?"

"That's right! It's those people." Butler Uncle Feng nodded confidently.

Ah Cai scratched her cheek and muttered, "It's possible that Ah Er did this, but as for those others, why don't I believe them?"

At this moment, Ah Er came over with a swagger, put his arm around the butler Uncle Feng's shoulders affectionately, and said with a grin, "Uncle, you're going a bit too far! You're obviously targeting me!"

"We did this to make the competition more exciting, but when it reaches your mouth, the taste is completely changed!" Tong Shiqi also quickly came over to join in, with a mischievous smile on her face.

"The winner will be decided tomorrow. Tell me, who will win?" Tong Shishan asked everyone curiously.

"Needless to ask? Of course it's Shaolin Temple!"

Ah Er answered without hesitation, and he even emphasized his tone.

After all, he sponsored the Shaolin Sect in this competition, so naturally he hoped that the side he supported would win.

"In my opinion, Taoist Ling Feng has a better chance of winning. His lightness skills are almost the same as teleportation!" Li Kai was full of confidence and admiration for the Taoist elder.

Lord Lin pondered for a moment, then slowly said:

"Well, that old Taoist is indeed very skilled and his strength should not be underestimated. Even I am quite optimistic about him!"

After hearing what Lord Lin said, everyone expressed their agreement and seemed to be looking forward to the upcoming showdown even more.

...

As expected, the leader of the martial arts world is the old Taoist priest Ling Feng.

Ah Er looked at the monks from Shaolin Temple and said, “I gave you a chance, but it’s really useless!”

Why don’t you use all your strength to hit that powerful Vajra Palm?

Ah Er curled his lips and really didn't want to pay attention to them.

However, a large sum of gold was still paid to the Shaolin monks to gild the body of their Buddha.

...

Ah Er sighed, rode his horse and continued to tour Yunlan Kingdom with everyone.

Ah Cai looked at his back. How could it be so ridiculous? Isn't it a good thing to save gold?

Lord Lin looked at his daughter and Ah Er and smiled, "He's really lost face. He was bragging so much those days, it was deafening!"

"..."

"Let's go to Baihe Town at the foot of the Baihe Sect mountain!"

A Cai wanted to go and take a look. She had heard from many people that the Baihe Sect’s headquarters was very spiritual.

...

Baihe Town

The town is quiet and peaceful, with old trees and wild vines hanging down.

The ancient town is like a fairyland.

People coming and going in the town are all dressed in Taoist robes, with fluttering sleeves, looking like immortals.

The buildings on both sides of the street are quaint, with flying eaves, brackets, carved beams and painted rafters, as if they came from ancient times.

In the square in the center of the town, there stands an ancient bell tower, and the melodious sound of the bell echoes throughout the ancient town.

The mountains in the distance are rolling and shrouded in clouds and mist, like an ink painting.

The mountain stream flows gently, the water is clear and you can see the bottom, and fish are playing in the water.

The weeping willows by the stream sway in the wind, as if telling people the history of the ancient town.

Occasionally, a few white cranes fly across the sky, their graceful figures fluttering like wings, bringing a breeze. It seems these cranes, drawn to the ancient town's ethereal aura, have settled and thrived here.

In this fairy-like ancient town, people live a quiet and peaceful life.

They either drink tea and discuss philosophy in the courtyard, or stroll through the streets and alleys, feeling the unique atmosphere here.

There is no worldly noise here, only peace of mind and yearning for a better life.

A Cai strolled along the bluestone road of the ancient town.

“I love it, it feels so comfortable!”

Seeing that his daughter liked this place so much, Lord Lin asked his butler Uncle Feng to buy a house so that they could stay here.

"A'er, follow me. There are many Taoist martial arts masters here. Don't let the housekeeper suffer any harm." A Da instructed A'er.

Tong Shiqi looked at the ancient-style buildings around her. "This town is at least thousands of years old. How can these buildings be so well-preserved? Is that even possible?"

Tong Shishan, "This material has something added to it that makes it fireproof and weatherproof..."

"Oh, what a good thing!"

"Martial artists here are not allowed to compete or spar in this town. This town is affiliated to the White Crane Sect." Asan said leisurely while holding the horse.

Ah Cai, "If there's anything special here, it must be in the White Crane Sect. It's like being blessed by an immortal!"

Lord Lin looked at his daughter gently and thought: If there is anyone who is blessed by gods, it must be my daughter!

Humph! Just settle down in Baihe Town!

What a coincidence, they actually bought a house with five wings and five entrances in Baihe Town where houses are hard to find, with more than a dozen side courtyards and several gardens.

Uncle Feng, the housekeeper, wiped his sweat and said, "What luck! The price this family asked for for the yard was too high. Most people really can't afford it. After a long negotiation, they asked for 1.5 million taels of silver."

Lord Lin stared at Butler Feng.

Uncle Feng, the housekeeper, leaned close to him and whispered, "Guardian Wen paid for this. Wow, a token solved all the problems."

Lord Lin nodded with satisfaction.

Didn't you, Emperor Ning, cover all the expenses for our trip? Go ahead and pay. This is just the beginning...
