Chapter 145

Misty School, Misty Mountain Villa, meeting hall. Ou Peng was enjoying a cup of tea.

Could it be that he had so much free time to steal half a day of leisure?

Ou Peng was extremely busy during this period of time.

Luo Shui Gang had recently merged with Misty School. The Six Misty Tigers and Shui Yupeng had racked their brains to come up with five "Three Year Development Plans". The hardships involved were not something an outsider could understand.

If they developed too quickly, not only would their foundation be unstable, they would also attract the attention of the super sects. If they found any clues, the losses would outweigh the gains. If they remained stagnant, not only would they let down the brothers who had sacrificed their lives for the merger of the two sects, they would also disappoint the hearts of the Luo Shui Gang brothers. If the hearts of the people were scattered, it would be difficult to lead a team. Ou Peng knew this very well. Naturally, Shui Yupeng would not agree to this. Therefore, Ou Peng had been sighing to the heavens for a period of time.

Whether it was Luo Shui Gang's "Three Year Development Plans" or Misty School's revised "Five Year Plan", the core idea was to raise the status of the gang in Jianghu and increase the influence of the gang in Jianghu. It was to become an important force in Jianghu.

The realization of these goals depended on the expansion of Misty School and Luo Shui Gang's influence and proper management. The expansion of influence meant that the martial arts of the disciples would be greatly improved. When it came to the improvement of martial arts, the herbs in the forest was definitely the most direct shortcut for Misty School. It was the most heaven-defying dream.

Therefore, Ou Peng had even greater expectations for the herbs in the forest this year.

After meticulous planning by the upper echelons of Ethereal Sect, they had sent out countless disciples during the New Year, including Lu Yueming, who was in charge of retrieving the herbs from the forest. After sending out all the disciples, Ou Peng could only wait anxiously. This time was different from the first time. Back then, he did not place much importance on this matter. He was happy if there was something, but if there was nothing, it did not matter. He did not hold much hope for it. However, this time, it was related to the development of Ethereal Sect. Ou Peng could not help but worry.

But Ou Peng, who had rich experience in fighting in Jianghu, knew that no matter how secretive his whereabouts were, there would be many sects in Jianghu that would pay attention to him, including some super sects. Even if he was able to successfully obtain the herbs in the secret plane, the secret of the secret plane would be known by many sects in Jianghu. The things inside were not something that the four sects could share. In comparison, the gains did not make up for the losses. It was better to let the disciples of the sects take care of it.

And the price of such a low profile was Ou Peng's daily anxiety and expectation. Waiting for the news of Lu Yueming's success, this kind of psychological pressure could not be shared by others. It was extremely heavy.

A month ago, in the middle of the night, Lu Yueming came back alone in a carriage. When Ou Peng received the news, he was so excited that he almost used [Ethereal Steps] to welcome him. Thinking about it now, he was somewhat self-deprecating. He had long passed the age of impulsiveness, but under such great temptation, it was inevitable that he would lose his composure.

His own excitement and loss of composure, and Shui Yupeng's puzzlement and blankness, was such a sharp contrast. Ou Peng was touched again. The ignorant were fearless, the ancients did not lie.

Lu Yueming's efforts were not in vain. The group of people from the Pharmacy Hall were not given in vain. Just a few days ago, the pills that could increase one's cultivation were finally refined. This was a considerable amount of pills. If nothing went wrong, it would definitely be able to create a large number of core elite disciples. The strength of the Ethereal Sect would once again rise to another level.

However, Ou Peng immediately thought of another problem. Shui Yupeng and the other disciples of the Luo Shui Gang, should he give them a share?

If he gave them the pills, there was no guarantee that they would not leak the news. If they did not take the pills, then there would be hidden dangers in the two-legged policy of the Misty School. Whether or not to take the pills was really a problem, and it needed to be carefully considered.

Fortunately, everything had been prepared. They didn't even need to rely on the east wind. They only needed to make a decision. When all the senior and junior brothers were gathered, they could discuss it. It was no big deal.

These two matters were official matters of the gang. As the highest decision-maker of the Misty School, Ou Peng naturally had the obligation to worry about it. And as an elder brother, he was most worried about his own sister. What happened some time ago was the most worrying thing for him.

Ou Yan was attacked on a rainy night, and until now, there was no clue. All the clues were cut off at a certain point, and the disciples of the Law Enforcement Hall were helpless. This made Ou Peng very angry. Although the Misty School could not be said to be one of the biggest gangs in Jianghu, it was still one of the most famous schools. Being bullied like this, and not being able to fight back, made him sullen. Fortunately, the incident of Ou Yan being attacked was very tightly controlled, and the people of Jianghu did not know about it. Otherwise, the Misty School would lose a lot of face.

Ou Peng had always paid attention to her safety. Fortunately, Ou Yan was a lucky person and escaped. Although her body was injured, her life was not in danger. However, when he thought of his sister's willfulness, Ou Peng shook his head. Not to mention the matter of going to the south, he had persuaded her to bring more people, but she said that she had no value in Jianghu, and that it was fine as long as she left secretly, no one would care. In the end, such a big incident happened. Moreover, although the youth called Zhang something had sacrificed himself to save Ou Yan, the Misty School's pension was only 855 taels of silver. If his sister felt that it was too little, then fine, he would increase it to 0555 taels. This was unprecedented. However, who asked him to save the sister of the Gang Leader of the Misty School?

If anyone complained, he would also come to save them. However, when he sent the pension to her brother in the Lotus Escort Agency, Ou Yan actually doubled it. It was an unprecedented 65,555 taels of silver!

With this as an example, how could he pay the pension in the future?

Ou Peng shook his head with a wry smile. This sister of his was a sentimental person who cared about others the most. But then again, in this world, who had he and his sister owed?

If this 65,555 taels of silver were to replace Ou Yan's life, what could he say?

It was not a lot at all. Even if he used the whole Jianghu to exchange for his sister, it would not be enough.

Thinking of this, Ou Peng could not help but shake his head. He lowered his head to drink tea and smiled. He did not know which hero in Jianghu was lucky enough to capture his sister's heart. Ou Yan was not young anymore. As her brother, he should be more concerned about her.

While he was thinking, he suddenly felt that there were soft steps coming to the meeting hall. Speak of the devil, and the devil will appear. This person really had to be nagged.

When the person turned the door of the hall, it was the owner of Huan Xi Mountain Villa, Ou Yan!

Other than Ou Yan, no one else was allowed to enter the Assembly Hall without prior notice. Even Ou Peng's wife was not allowed to enter. Of course, she never came. From this, it could be seen that Ou Peng's love for his sister had not diminished despite the passage of time.

Ou Yan, who had entered the hall, was also surprised. In the past, when she came to the meeting hall, it was always crowded. This time, it was so quiet. She did not expect. Looking at her brother who was leisurely drinking tea, Ou Yan could not help but smile. She quickly walked forward and saluted Ou Peng. Ou Peng smiled and said, "There are no outsiders here. Sit wherever you want."

Ou Yan sat down with a smile. She was as cute as a little swallow.

Ou Peng looked at his sister lovingly and asked, "Yan 'er, how is your health recently?"

Ou Yan replied, "Big brother, although my body is not easy to practice martial arts, it has been tempered by wind and rain. It is not as weak as you think and cannot withstand setbacks.

The last injury was diagnosed by the doctor. I have already recovered. Now, I am very good. "

Ou Peng still said, "Yan 'er, seriously, in the future, don't do such a willful thing. When you go out again, you must bring enough outdoor and bodyguards. You were in danger this time. You made me worried to death. If there is such a thing again, I don't know how to live."

Ou Yan smiled and said, "I know, big brother. I will pay attention next time.

This time, it was really unexpected. Now, I can't think of any reason. How is your side? Did you find any clues? "

Ou Peng said awkwardly, "Alas, not yet. I will urge them to help you vent your anger."

Ou Yan said, "You don't have to be so anxious. It doesn't matter if they target me. Please don't have any conspiracy against our Misty School. Big brother, you must be careful in the future. You must bring bodyguards when you go out."

Ou Peng smiled and said, "I know. I will bring the stone cow with me as a giant bodyguard.

By the way, why did Yan 'er come here today?

Are you rushing to find the murderer? "

Ou Yan said, "No, big brother. I will leave the matter of finding the murderer to you. I will not bother about it anymore. Today, I came to discuss something with you."

Ou Peng asked curiously, "What is it?

There is still a need to discuss. "

Ou Yan said, "Big brother, do you still remember the boy who saved me?"

Ou Peng said, "I remember. I think his name was Zhang something. Speaking of this, I have to say a few words. You can't be so willful in the future. Our Misty School has a written rule. The amount of the pension is written in black and white. It may be fine to have a little more, but to think that you increased it so much, it is a little inappropriate. However, this matter is kept secret. Not many people know about it. Otherwise, it will have a bad impact.

With your willful temper, how will you find a good husband in the future? "

Hearing this, Ou Yan was unhappy and said, "Big brother, why are you always interrupting? Am I willful?

What does this have to do with finding a good husband? "

Ou Peng quickly waved his hand and said, "It doesn't matter, it doesn't matter. Big brother is old and likes to nag. Just listen in one ear and out the other.

By the way, has the pension been given to his brother? That will save you from nagging all day long. Even if I don't see you, I know you are very worried. "

Speaking of this, Ou Yan's face was full of excitement. She said with a smile, "Big brother, I came here today to talk to you about this matter. You don't have to pay the ten thousand taels of silver. You don't have to worry about the negative impact. In the future, you don't have to worry about people in the sect talking about this matter."

Ou Peng was stunned and said, "What?"

Then, he realized, "Oh, that boy was found by you?"

Ou Yan said in surprise, "Big brother, you are really amazing. You guessed it so quickly."

Ou Peng shook his head and said with a smile, "How can this kind of child's play stump a big gang leader like me?"

Ou Yan also smiled and said, "We didn't find him. He came back on his own."

This time, Ou Peng was even more surprised. He said, "He was not killed by the black-robed elder. At the very least, he should be seriously injured. Since he can come back on his own, his injuries must have healed."

Ou Yan was also surprised and asked, "Big brother, how do you know that his injuries have healed?"

Ou Peng said with a smile, "This is very normal. If his injuries are not good, how can he travel thousands of miles to come back to Ping Yang City?"

Ou Yan thought for a while and nodded slightly to show that it made sense.

Then, Ou Yan told Ou Peng everything that Zhang Xiaohua told her in full detail. Ou Peng was also stunned when he heard it. This kind of thing was really rare. At least to be able to escape from death and return to Ping Yang City safely was already a miracle.

Then, Ou Peng asked, "Since that Zhang what is it again?"

Ou Yan said, "Called Zhang Xiaohua."

Ou Peng said with a smile, "Haha, Zhang Xiaohua. This name is interesting. It seems to be a girl's name.

Oh right, since this Zhang Xiaohua is back, you definitely won't take back the ten thousand taels of silver. Just give it to him. Why did you say that you don't need it? "

Ou Yan said, "Big brother's guess is right. But you guessed the beginning and not the end.

Zhang Xiaohua rejected the ten thousand taels of silver. Under my insistence, he only took a one hundred taels of silver. He also said, 'The weight of this one hundred taels of silver in my heart is the same as the weight of ten thousand taels of silver in Sister Ou's heart. If I accept this one hundred taels of silver, it means that I have accepted the ten thousand taels of silver in Sister Ou's heart'. Big brother, don't you think this young man is very interesting? "

Ou Peng touched his chin with his hand and said thoughtfully, "Yes, this Zhang Xiaohua is very interesting.

Then what do you mean by coming here today? "

Ou Yan said, "It's like this, big brother. In fact, on the way to the south last time, I saw Zhang Xiaohua practicing boxing very hard. Although his aptitude is very ordinary, his hardworking spirit is really comparable to yours when you were young. So, I promised him that when I came back from the south, I would ask you to let He Tianshu of the Pharmacy Hall teach him some of the internal strength mental cultivation methods of our Misty School."

Ou Peng listened and nodded slightly, "It's not impossible for you to think so. Anyway, even you said that his aptitude is ordinary. Let He Tianshu teach him some internal strength mental cultivation methods. It must be enough for him to learn for a lifetime."

Ou Yan continued, "But, he refused the ten thousand taels of silver, which made me feel very sorry. Thinking about it, he didn't hesitate to block that fatal blow for me. If it wasn't for him, how could I safely return to the Huan Xi Mountain Manor?

I must repay this life-saving grace. Since he doesn't want the silver, I think, how about this, big brother, can you let him join the Misty School and become a disciple of the Misty School?

This way, he can practice martial arts, which is Zhang Xiaohua's lifelong wish. "

Ou Peng listened and laughed, "I thought it was something important that was worth us siblings to discuss. The matter of entering the Misty School as a disciple, although the standard is very high, this Zhang Xiaohua is definitely not qualified. But, since Yan 'er has asked, how can I, as a big brother, not agree?

Not to mention one, even if it's ten, so what?

This is just a small matter, why is there a need to discuss it? "

Sigh, it's really infuriating to compare oneself to others. Zhang Xiaohua came out from the Guozhuang House and went through untold hardships just to enter the Misty School as a disciple and practice martial arts. But, he couldn't fulfill his wish. Later on, even when he joined the Lotus Escort Agency, they still didn't accept him. Becoming a disciple of the Misty School?

In his heart, he had long given up on this idea.

But now, with just one sentence from Ou Yan, Ou Peng agreed. He didn't consider Zhang Xiaohua's condition at all, regardless of how old he was or what his aptitude was. He just nodded lightly and fulfilled the wish that Zhang Xiaohua yearned for day and night, and this was just a small matter. This really couldn't be said, relationships were the absolute truth!

When Ou Yan heard, she was overjoyed and said, "Then I'll have to trouble big brother. Actually, I know that the Misty School's disciples that big brother recruited are all people with outstanding aptitudes. This Zhang Xiaohua compared to them is like the difference between heaven and earth. This is really making things difficult for big brother."

Ou Peng flicked his sleeve and said, "Why are you being so polite with big brother?

Although aptitude is important, hard work is also necessary.

Even if Zhang Xiaohua is useless, it doesn't matter if the Misty School has one more disciple or not. Why don't you let He Tianshu be his master and teach martial arts in your Huan Xi Mountain Villa? What do you think? "

Ou Yan clapped her hands and said, "Very good. Zhang Xiaohua's aptitude for martial arts is average. No, it should be said that it's very poor. I heard from He Tianshu that he practiced fist techniques for a long time, but he can't even practice a complete set. However, he is very knowledgeable about medicinal herbs and other knowledge. He has thoroughly read some of the books that I gave him. Perhaps he can be of help to me in the future."

Ou Peng said, "Then let's do it this way. Tomorrow, you bring He Tianshu and Zhang Xiaohua to the Conference Hall and deal with this matter, so that you don't keep thinking about it.

Also, the problem of medicinal herbs should be solved slowly. The elders of the Pharmacy Hall are helpless. You don't have to worry too much about it. Don't let it affect your health. "

Ou Yan said, "I know, big brother. It's because they can't solve it that I want to take over. Although there are ready-made herbs in the secret plane, it's not as convenient as planting them ourselves. We can only go to the secret plane once a year. The demand for medicinal herbs is far from meeting the needs of our sect. If we do as big brother thinks and carry forward the Misty School, we can't not solve this problem."

Ou Peng sighed and said, "I know you won't give up, but it must be on the premise of health."

Ou Yan smiled and said, "I know, big brother. Don't nag anymore."

The brother and sister chatted for a while, and Ou Yan said goodbye and returned to the Huan Xi Mountain Villa.
