Being rejected by a scholar? She is so rich, what is she afraid of?

Chapter 56 Secret Base

From the outside, the gate of this courtyard looks ordinary, but once you enter, you will know that this courtyard is very large, and it has four entrances.

There used to be a large back garden in the yard, which was later converted into a martial arts training ground by Yun Xi.

It took the three of them about a cup of tea to reach the martial arts training ground.

The view here is very broad, just like the training grounds in the military in later generations.

At this time, a group of half-grown children in shorts were training hard on the field. Some were practicing swordplay, some were playing with knives, some were fighting on wooden stakes, and some were flying around with sandbags on their feet.

A man in black tights was walking among them, giving instructions or demonstrating from time to time.

The man had sharp eyebrows and regular facial features, but there was a long scar on his face extending from the corner of his left eye to his right ear, which completely destroyed his originally handsome appearance and made him look gloomy and scary.

The moment Yun Xi and the other two walked into the training ground, his ears moved, the corners of his mouth twitched slightly, and he continued to patrol back and forth as if nothing had happened.

The three of them stopped in the distance. Yun Xi didn't say anything to move forward, and Yun Yan and Yun Sanshi didn't say anything either.

Yun Xi looked at this scene with a smile on her face.

These half-grown children were orphans and beggars with talent for martial arts that she had found over the past two years.

She knew very well that no matter when and where a person was born, if he wanted to be strong and not be bullied, and to take his destiny into his own hands, he must cultivate a group of forces of his own.

Two years ago, after he traveled through time and recovered from his injuries, he took his family to the city to set up stalls to make money. One day on the way back to the village, he met a man with a scar who was seriously injured.

The long scar on his face was so deep that the bone was visible, and his face was almost split in half.

At that time, the man was lying straight on the side of the road, unconscious and barely breathing.

It was Yun Xi who used the medical skills and space water from her previous life to pull him back from the brink of death.

After a full month of recuperation, the scarred man finally recovered completely, but a long scar was left on his face.

In fact, Yunxi had a way to remove his scar, but he didn't want to, so Yunxi had to give up.

The first thing the scarred man did after his wound healed was to acknowledge Yun Xi as his master and ask her to give him a name.

Yun Xi saw that he was very good at martial arts, even better than herself, so she felt sorry for his talent. After learning about his past, she decided to keep him.

And gave him the name Yunsheng.

Yunsheng was very happy. It was a great honor and gift for a servant to be given a name by his master and to take his master's surname.

Yun Xi named him Sheng, which means rebirth. It means to let him forget the past and start a new life.

Afterwards, Yun Xi asked him to find some orphans or beggars with a talent for martial arts, and then teach them martial arts and cultivate a group of subordinates who would be loyal to their master.

In two years, Yunsheng found a total of thirty children, and named them Yun Yi, Yun Er, and so on according to the order of their arrival.

The oldest is only sixteen years old, and the youngest is Yun Sanshi, who is only six years old.

This yard was also found by Yunsheng at that time. It was specially used to accommodate them and practice martial arts. Yunxi called it a secret base.

Yun Xi watched for a while, put her index finger to her lips and made a fake gesture to Yun Yan and Yun Sanshi, then leaped a few times and came behind Yun Sheng, and quickly attacked him.

It seemed as if Yunsheng had eyes on the back of his head. He bent slightly, moved his feet to the side, turned around and blocked Yunxi's continuous attacks.

Yunxi attacked quickly, but Yunsheng was even faster. He only defended and did not attack. The two fought for nearly a quarter of an hour, but Yunxi did not even touch the corner of Yunsheng's clothes, and was very discouraged.

"Forget it, let's not fight."

In my previous life, I was good at martial arts, but my moves were powerful and I had no internal strength.

The internal strength she has now was taught by Yunsheng. In a sense, Yunsheng can be considered as half her master.

Yunsheng has deep internal strength, and his martial arts and lightness skills are both unique. Yunxi herself knows that it is impossible to beat him.

Every time I come here, I feel like fighting with him, just to see how far I can go from him. This can also motivate me for a while.

Yun Xi withdrew his hand, and Yun Sheng immediately clasped his fists and saluted, "Meet the Master."

Then, the other half-grown children in the martial arts training ground all saluted and said in unison, "Greetings, Master."

At first they were all used to kneeling on one knee to salute, but they were used to it, but Yun Xi was not, so she just asked them to bow and clasp their fists.

Yun Yan immediately ran over and shouted with a smile, "And me, and me."

Yunsheng's mouth twitched, and he also saluted with his fists, "Greetings, Second Young Master."

The others couldn't help but laugh, and followed suit, "Meet the Second Young Master."

Yun Xi didn't care about his second brother's erratic personality, but looked at Yun Sheng and asked directly, "How are you doing recently?"

Yunsheng respectfully reported the results of recent training.

Yun Xi nodded, "Pick a few of the best and smartest ones. I'm going to take them away and give them things to do."

Yunsheng frowned and asked, "Is it difficult? Do you need me to take action myself?"

Yun Xi shook her head. "No, I just want to follow someone and investigate something. And then I want to go back to the village and keep an eye on the situation at my home."

Yun Sheng responded without saying anything else. He turned around and shouted to a group of disciples, "Yun Yi, Yun Er, Yun Qi, Yun Thirteen, Fifteen, Nineteen, step out."

Six people stepped out, Yun Xi and Yun Yan took them aside and explained the mission.

They were all very happy that their master could finally use them.

"Don't worry, master. I will complete the task." Yun Yi took the lead in making the promise.

Several others also gave assurances.

"Okay then, Yun Yi and Shisan, come find me at the Qixing Tower tonight. Yun Er, the four of you will form two teams and go to the village to take turns protecting my parents and other family members."

Yun Yi and Shisan are better at Qinggong, so they are more suitable to track and monitor Zhao Junyi.

"Yes, master." Several people said in unison.

Yun Xi explained things to Yun Sheng again, left him two hundred taels of silver, and then encouraged the others before leaving with Yun Yan and returning to the city.

On the other side, Zhao Junyi returned home and walked around the house with a nervous heart.

Last time Yunqi knew about his secret meeting with Xue Yao in Qixing Tower, Xue Yao said that she would wait and see how Yunqi would react.

If Yunqi doesn't know what's good for him and uses this matter to threaten them or expose them, Master Xue is prepared to take drastic measures.

If Yun Qi didn't react at all, it was possible that he didn't know anything about the two of them, or even if he knew, he didn't intend to do anything. In that case, there would be no need for them to make trouble. After all, the Seven Star Tower was not someone to be trifled with.

If Yunqi talks about this again in the future, after a long time and without evidence, they can also say it is slander.

He had gradually come to terms with this matter over the past few days, but he didn't expect Yun Xi to say such words today.

It seemed that Yun Qi was not without any reaction, but he was still unsure about the relationship between him and Xue Yao, and was investigating secretly behind the scenes.

This Yunqi is really sinister.

No, he had to go find Master Xue. The Yun family was always a nuisance and had to be eliminated as soon as possible.

Thinking of this, Zhao Junyi prepared to go out to the Xue family.

But as soon as he stepped out of the room and saw the bright sky outside, he controlled his temper again.

It’s better to wait a little longer. Maybe there are people arranged by Yunqi watching him now. It would be better to sneak into Xue Mansion after dark.
