Chapter 176

Zhang Xiaohu saw that Zhang Xiaohua was unhappy, so he said to the guard, "Then can I go in?"

The guard said, "Of course you can."

Zhang Xiaohu said to Zhang Xiaohua, "Xiaohua, wait here for a while. I'll go in and find Captain He."

Zhang Xiaohua said, "Forget it, Second Brother. If you don't let me in, then I won't. Anyway, the martial arts competition will end tomorrow. When I return to the Huan Xi Mountain Villa, I'll still be able to see him. I just want to take a look at the pharmacy today. Since you don't let me in, then I'll go back."

Zhang Xiaohu knew that his younger brother wanted to go in, and his eyes were full of disappointment. In fact, Zhang Xiaohua was still a teenager. There was nothing interesting about the pharmacy. He came all the way here, but he was rejected at the door. His curiosity grew stronger.

Whether he went in or not wasn't a problem. However, Zhang Xiaohu didn't want to disappoint his younger brother. After all, he was also a disciple of the Misty School. In his own territory, he wanted Zhang Xiaohua to have her wish fulfilled.

He smiled and patted Zhang Xiaohua's shoulder, saying, "I'll go in and find Captain He. You wait by the door for a moment."

Zhang Xiaohua opened her mouth, wanting to stop her second brother. However, Zhang Xiaohu didn't say anything. He turned around and asked the guard where He Tianshu lived. Thus, Zhang Xiaohua could only scratch her head and obediently stand to the side.

The guard gave a simple description of the general location. Zhang Xiaohu turned around and nodded at Zhang Xiaohua before entering the door.

Zhang Xiaohu went in for a long time, but didn't come out. Zhang Xiaohua was a little bored and wandered around the entrance of the pharmacy.

At this time, the sky was already dark. There were even fewer people going in and out of the pharmacy.

As Zhang Xiaohua was walking, she happened to see a middle-aged man coming back from afar. He was walking towards the entrance of the pharmacy. With the light from afar, Zhang Xiaohua found that person familiar. However, she couldn't remember who he was. She didn't care. She only knew a few people in the Misty School. Perhaps she was mistaken.

That person also noticed Zhang Xiaohua. Think about it, in front of the empty door, there was only a teenager strolling around. It was impossible not to notice him.

The person just glanced at him at first and didn't care. He continued to walk forward. However, after a few steps, he seemed to think of something. He stared at Zhang Xiaohua for a while and frowned slightly. At this time, Zhang Xiaohua didn't notice this. She had already turned around and strolled in another direction. That person was slightly annoyed when he saw that Zhang Xiaohua didn't come forward to greet him. When he walked to the entrance, he pulled a long face and scolded the guard, "How do you do things?

How can you let an outsider stroll around the door? "

"An outsider?" The guard was a little surprised. He quickly looked out and saw a lonely figure strolling outside.

The guard smiled apologetically and said, "Deacon Chang, that teenager isn't a disciple of our Misty School, but he's not an outsider either. He's from the Huan Xi Manor. He's not an outsider."

It would have been fine if he did not hear those words. However, upon hearing those words, that attendant Chang grew even more furious. He loudly berated, "What?

Who told you that the people from the Huan Xi Manor aren't outsiders?

Don't tell me that the people from the Huan Xi Manor are disciples of the Misty School? "

The guard was very surprised. He didn't know if there was anything wrong with what he said. He had received instructions that the Huan Xi Manor's token could allow him to enter the Misty Manor, but not the pharmacy. Besides, what's wrong with that teenager strolling in front of your pharmacy?

Don't tell me he's trying to rape you?

Even if he's trying to rape you, he hasn't done it yet.

What right do you have to drive him away?

However, the guard still said cautiously, "Deacon Chang, this one doesn't care if the people from the Huan Xi Manor are from the Misty School. This one's duty is to guard this door. Any outsider who doesn't meet the rules can't be allowed to enter. As for whether there are people strolling around or fighting outside the door, it has nothing to do with this one."

At this time, Zhang Xiaohua also strolled to the door again. Seeing the middle-aged man arguing with the guard, she was very curious and came over.

Deacon Chang was annoyed that he had been rebuffed. He raised his voice and said, "What?

How dare you talk to me like that!

You, you … "

The guard was also angry. He took a step closer and said, "What about me?

Deacon Chang. "

Hearing the words "Deacon Chang", Zhang Xiaohua's mind lit up. She immediately remembered. Wasn't this middle-aged man one of the people who came to the Huan Xi Manor to inspect the medicine fields last year?

Zhang Xiaohua couldn't help but feel happy. She walked forward with a smile on her face and saluted, "Martial Uncle Chang, how are you? Do you still remember me?"

Deacon Chang had nowhere to vent his anger. Although the guard was only a gatekeeper, he wasn't under the management of the pharmacy. Even if his position was higher than his, he didn't have the authority to give orders. Now that he was humiliated by the guard, he could only swallow his anger. This Zhang Xiaohua just happened to come over and hit the muzzle. Deacon Chang fiercely glared at Zhang Xiaohua. He spat out a mouthful of thick phlegm and said, "Who is your Martial Uncle?

Why don't you take a good look in the mirror? Do you have the qualifications to be my nephew?

Why didn't you stay in the Huan Xi Manor to look after the fields? Why did you come to our Misty School?

Don't you know if this is the place you should come? "

After saying that, he flicked his sleeves and turned to go in.

Seeing this, the guard shouted, "Deacon Chang, how can you be so unethical?

Didn't Sect Leader Ou always advocate the slogan of cleanliness and hygiene? How can you spit everywhere?

Be careful or I'll punish you! "

Deacon Chang, who had walked far away, paused for a moment. He didn't stop and walked straight away.

In front of the gate, only Zhang Xiaohua was left standing there alone. Tears were rolling in her eyes and almost flowed down. She really didn't know how she had offended this so-called Martial Uncle. She had only seen him once in the Huan Xi Manor. This was only the second time. She just came to greet him. How could he treat her like this?

Could it be that this was the legendary 'hot face stuck to a cold butt'?

Seeing Zhang Xiaohua's appearance, the guard didn't know how to comfort her. Today, Deacon Chang was also strange. He wasn't like this on a normal day. Why did he dislike this young man so much?

However, the dispute between her and Deacon Chang today was also caused by this young man. Indeed, there were secrets that she didn't know.

Putting aside the fact that Zhang Xiaohua was bullied for the time being, when Zhang Xiaohu walked through the gate of the Pharmacy Hall, the gate of the Pharmacy Hall wasn't like the Young Eagle Hall. After entering, there was a large square. Instead, there was a screen wall with a large number of flowers, birds, insects, and fish carved on it. After turning around the screen wall, there was also a large area. There were many ancient trees that couldn't be hugged by one person. In the dark night, the wind blew and the leaves rustled. The gap between the ancient trees was very wide and there was a flat road to pass through. Zhang Xiaohu walked inside according to the guard's instructions.

After walking for a while, it was even quieter inside. In the dark night, he could vaguely see the shadow of the mountain peak. Zhang Xiaohu suddenly understood. No wonder he had walked so far. The Pharmacy Hall was actually on the mountain peak behind the manor. At this time, someone happened to come over in front. Zhang Xiaohu confirmed He Tianshu's position again.

When the person heard that he was looking for He Tianshu, he smiled and said, "It's not appropriate to look for him in his room at this time. He passed the competition today and is in the training room."

When Zhang Xiaohu heard this, he quickly inquired about the location of the training room. The person thought for a while and said, "The training room is still some distance from here. Our Pharmacy Hall is built on the mountain. The path is not easy to find. I'll take you there."

When Zhang Xiaohu heard this, he thanked him again and again.

Sure enough, the training room was not close to this place. There were many twists and turns, and he had walked quite a distance. Moreover, the key point was that the pharmacy built on the mountain was not flat. If Zhang Xiaohu had walked on his own, it would have been really difficult to find it.

Along the way, the two people chatted casually. Zhang Xiaohu couldn't help but ask curiously, "It's already so late. Why is He Tianshu still in the training room?"

The person smiled and said, "It's all because of the martial arts competition. This He Tianshu hasn't advanced for several years, and he didn't mix well in the Pharmacy Hall. That was why he was sent to Huan Xi Manor to look after the medicinal field. Who knows where he learned the Ethereal Steps. This time, he actually passed two stages in a row. In the morning, he actually beat Chang Biao down from the arena. Chang Biao entered the Misty School with He Tianshu. The two of them have always been competing openly and secretly. He Tianshu has never gained the upper hand. Chang Biao is already a deacon, but He Tianshu is only a captain.

As a matter of fact, He Tianshu won the competition today. Many dissatisfied senior and junior brothers dragged him to the training room, wanting to have a good spar with him. "

"Ethereal Steps?"

Zhang Xiaohu's heart skipped a beat. Could it be that the extremely useful movement technique that Zhang Xiaohua used during the day was the Ethereal Steps?

It must be so. His younger brother was with He Tianshu all day. He Tianshu probably imparted it to him.

Sure enough, when they arrived at the training room, the usually quiet training room was still bustling with people. He Tianshu's somewhat arrogant and hearty laughter could be heard from inside.

It seemed that this guy had won a lot of people today.

The two of them entered and saw many people standing in the open space of the training room. There were two people in the field, and the winner had already been decided. One was He Tianshu, and the other was a slightly younger man. That man was climbing up from the ground and scolded with a smile, "Old He, I told you to be a little merciful. Why did you still kick me down?"

He Tianshu smiled and said, "Forget it. Didn't I just learn it? I can't control my body. Besides, you usually throw me to the ground many times. Today, I'm just taking a little revenge."

That person clicked his tongue and praised, "This Ethereal Steps is indeed miraculous. Previously, you weren't my match, but now, I'm not your match. A scholar who has been away for three days must be looked at with new eyes.

It's exactly to describe you. "

He Tianshu cupped his hands and said, "It's just so-so. I'm still a beginner. I'm far from being a direct disciple."

Just as they were talking, they saw Zhang Xiaohu follow that person in. He Tianshu couldn't help but be stunned. He hurriedly walked out of the field and asked in surprise, "Zhang Xiaohu, are you here to look for me?"

Zhang Xiaohu bowed and said, "Yes, Captain He. I brought Xiaohua to see you."

"Zhang Xiaohua?

Where is he? "He Tianshu looked behind him.

Zhang Xiaohu said, "There's no need to look. He can't come in. He's still waiting for you at the entrance."

Only then did He Tianshu come to a realization. He patted his forehead and turned back and said, "Brothers, I have a friend here. Let's end it here for today. Let's spar again in the future."

When everyone heard this, they dispersed in an uproar.

Zhang Xiaohu smiled and said to He Tianshu, "Captain He, you're feeling proud."

He Tianshu said embarrassedly, "It's nothing. It's just that they saw me win against Senior Chang in the morning and found it strange. That's why they insisted on sparring with me. I had no choice."

Zhang Xiaohu said, "Let's go out quickly. I'm sure Xiaohua is waiting anxiously at the entrance."

When He Tianshu heard this, he hurriedly followed him out. When they reached the corner, he suddenly stopped and said, "If I go over like this, I'll only see Zhang Xiaohua once. He can't come in. Come on, you might as well come with me to the Hall Master and ask for a waist token so that Zhang Xiaohua can come in and see our Pharmacy Hall."

When Zhang Xiaohu heard this, he hesitated and said, "Won't it take too long? Xiaohua has been waiting outside for a long time."

He Tianshu tugged on his sleeve and said, "Let's go. I know this little brother of yours well. He just wanted to take a look at the Pharmacy Hall and see how we grow herbs. Otherwise, why would he think of coming to see me?

Moreover, the Martial Arts Exhibition is only a few days away. Won't he still be able to see me when he returns to Huan Xi Manor? "

Zhang Xiaohu chuckled and didn't answer. He followed He Tianshu in another direction.

After walking for a while, they came to a rather large courtyard. There were also disciples guarding the door. He Tianshu went forward and asked in a low voice, "Is the Hall Master inside?"

The disciple hurriedly saluted and said, "Martial Uncle He, the Hall Master is inside. There are also elders. That's right, Martial Uncle Chang also just went in."

As he said this, the corners of his mouth curled up into a smile.

He Tianshu slapped him on the head and said, "You little brat, what's so funny? Don't talk about flowers behind us."

The disciple touched his head and said, "Martial Uncle He, I didn't say anything. Anyway, you had a great time winning this morning. We were all happy for you."

He Tianshu said, "You bunch of brats who only want to see the world in chaos." Although his tone was a little angry, there was some happiness on his face.

After saying this, he led Zhang Xiaohu into the courtyard.

Before He Tianshu and Zhang Xiaohu could enter the hall, they heard Deacon Chang's voice from the hall, "Hall Master, am I right?

Who is that Zhang Xiaohua? He's just a servant from the Huan Xi Manor. How can he sneak into our Misty School with the Huan Xi Manor's token? He's even strolling around the entrance of our Pharmacy Hall. What is he doing?

Why does he have to come to our Pharmacy Hall of all places?

Does he have any ulterior motives?

Our Pharmacy Hall is an important place in the Sect. If he steals something out, we won't be able to explain it to the higher-ups.

I saw him sneaking around the entrance and wanted the guards to drive him away, but the guards actually spoke up for him. Don't you think this is a classic example of collusion?

Hall Master, you have to be careful. Quickly replace that guard. "

When Zhang Xiaohu heard this, anger rose from his heart. Who is this Chang in the hall? How dare he talk about my brother like this? He couldn't help but quicken his pace. Seeing this, He Tianshu quickly pulled his sleeve and whispered, "Don't worry, listen to me."

Zhang Xiaohu looked at He Tianshu, who was also angry, and could only nod his head.

He Tianshu led Zhang Xiaohu to the entrance of the hall. He didn't break in, but stood there quietly.

Hall Master Bai of the Pharmacy Hall was sitting on a chair in the hall, slowly sipping tea. Beside him was Elder He, whose hair and beard were all white. Deacon Chang was standing in the middle of the hall, gesticulating as he spoke.

Deacon Chang said again, "This Zhang Xiaohua has been with He Tianshu in Huan Xi Mountain Villa. I don't know what they are doing, but even the seeds of the herbs won't germinate. He Tianshu seems to be very protective of this manservant. He even wants to let him read the books in the Pharmacy Hall. Why doesn't he think that a manservant actually wants to enter the Pharmacy Hall through a side door? Why doesn't he look at his own virtue?"

Hall Master Bai looked up and saw He Tianshu. He put down his teacup and said with a smile, "He Tianshu, why are you free to come here?

Weren't you surrounded by that group of boys to compare notes? "

Deacon Chang heard this and quickly stopped talking. When he looked back, he saw He Tianshu and Zhang Xiaohu staring at him fiercely. He couldn't help but feel a little uncomfortable and murmured, "He Tianshu, I'm not talking about you. I'm talking about the manservant in Huan Xi Mountain Villa."

He Tianshu ignored him and went forward to greet Hall Master Bai and Elder He. Zhang Xiaohu behind him also hurried forward and said, "Junior Zhang Xiaohu greets Hall Master Bai and Elder He."

In fact, Zhang Xiaohu didn't know how to address the two people in the hall, so he could only call them juniors.

Hall Master Bai had seen Zhang Xiaohu in the hall when he entered the Misty School and knew that he was Wen Wenhai's disciple. Elder He also saw Zhang Xiaohu at the apprenticeship ceremony later and knew of his identity. Therefore, he didn't dare to slight him. He bowed slightly and let Zhang Xiaohu sit on the chair below.

Hearing Zhang Xiaohu's name, Deacon Chang's heart thumped. He thought to himself, "Does this Zhang Xiaohu have something to do with Zhang Xiaohua?"

However, he immediately thought, "The pharmacy hall can't be entered by non-pharmacy disciples and core disciples. This person isn't from the pharmacy hall, so he's naturally a core disciple. Since he's a core disciple, he won't have anything to do with a manservant in Huan Xi Mountain Villa."

He immediately relaxed.

He Tianshu stood next to Chang Biao and ignored him. He only said to Hall Master Bai, "Hall Master, a friend of mine wants to visit the pharmacy hall. You've seen this person before. It's Zhang Xiaohua from Huan Xi Mountain Villa. Can you give him a waist token and let him in?"

Chang Biao heard this and immediately objected, "Junior Brother He, this Zhang Xiaohua is just a manservant in Huan Xi Mountain Villa. Although he's very close to you in the villa, our pharmacy hall is an important place in the sect. How can we just let him in?

If something happens, can you bear the responsibility? "

He Tianshu looked at him with a smile and said, "Senior Brother Chang, let's not talk about Zhang Xiaohua's identity first. Regardless of whether he's a manservant in Huan Xi Mountain Villa or not, I just want to ask, on what basis do you think he has ulterior motives and wants to come to the pharmacy hall to steal chickens and dogs for a living?"
