Novel Full Chapter 1157 453: Lord Ruyu
Qi Dingtian has two sons and one daughter.
The daughter is Qi Qiao Hui, Wei Ziyi’s mother.
And these two sons are known among Jianghu people as Qi Sect’s Double Heroes.
Others refer to them as the Second Young Masters Qi.
However, the latter seems to exclusively refer to Qi Shengxuan.
But actually, it does not.
The reason for the title ‘Second Young Masters’ is because both these men’s names in Jianghu carry the word ‘Gongzi’ after them.
The Eldest Young Master Qi Shengdao is called ‘Dao Gongzi’ in Jianghu.
Qi Shengdao was naturally gifted. When he was young, a Taoist came to Tianqi City and happened to meet Dao Gongzi. Seeing his kind heart, the Taoist taught him a chant.
He urged him to practice diligently, and then left freely.
Even though Qi Shengdao was young, he did not trust others easily and reported this matter to Qi Dingtian.
After carefully hearing the content of the chant, Qi Dingtian also urged him to practice diligently without a day’s neglect.
Qi Shengdao realized this chant must have a remarkable origin.
He immediately obeyed his father’s words and practiced hard for a year, achieving extraordinary results.
A year later, the Taoist passed through Tianqi City again, specifically came to Qi Mansion to meet Dao Gongzi.
Seeing his progress, he smiled and took Qi Shengdao to meet Qi Dingtian, intending to take his eldest son as a disciple.
Qi Dingtian was not surprised at all, and the Taoist found it quite natural.
The still young Qi Shengdao thus left with the Taoist.
He left for ten years.
Afterwards, upon returning to Jianghu, with one person and one sword, he consecutively slew the eighteen pirates of the Sea Abyss roaming Nanhai.
This battle made him famous, and people then realized the wandering Taoist was actually from Taixu Temple.
Taixu Temple gained renown in Jianghu several generations ago.
Traditionally, it was one temple, one person, single succession.
For nearly a hundred years, it had not been heard in Jianghu.
The wandering Taoist was actually the current temple master of Taixu Temple, but he disliked Jianghu disputes and preferred to wander Jianghu, living freely.
Back then, he recognized Qi Shengdao’s exceptional talent as fit to inherit Taixu Temple’s legacy.
The teaching of the chant was a test.
Seeing the chant, Qi Dingtian immediately knew the Taoist’s background.
Both sides were perfectly matched.
This led to the current Qi Shengdao, Jianghu’s Dao Gongzi.
Dao Gongzi often dressed as a Taoist, handsome in youth, with exceptional demeanor; his name truly matched his identity.
However, it is unknown if he inherited his master’s character or if Taixu Temple’s martial arts hold mysteries.
As a result, this person rarely stayed at home, always traveling, going wherever he wished.
Qi Dingtian was certainly displeased with this, but he was helpless.
Fortunately, he had another son, Qi Shengxuan.
In contrast, the Qi family’s second young master Qi Shengxuan was entirely different from his elder brother.
Dao Gongzi was free-spirited yet restrained.
Qi Shengxuan, however, followed rules from a young age, every word and action measured.
He demonstrated significant talent early on.
Yet, for some reason, he was always slightly weaker than Qi Shengdao in everything.
Over these many years, even though Qi Shengdao left to learn martial arts and returned accomplished, Qi Shengxuan still remained beneath him.
Until Qi Shengdao left for negotiations, Jianghu’s ‘Lord Ruyu’ Qi Shengxuan then truly showcased his skills and means.
Internally, he could govern every aspect of the Qi Family.
Disciples from inside and outside the Qi Family all admired him.
Externally, Lord Ruyu had an extraordinary reputation.
What people talked about most was fifteen years ago, he fought for three days and nights on Wangyou Island in Nanhai and finally killed a demon who had committed misdeeds in Nanhai.
And this Wangyou Island was well-known in Nanhai.
This place was Xiaojin Cave, also Soul Extinguishing Valley. The island master had supreme martial arts, and explicitly forbade killing on the island.
Anyone stepping onto Wangyou Island was considered the island master’s guest.
As long as you had money, you could do anything on the island.
Yet, Lord Ruyu was allowed to kill on the island, and after killing, he left freely.
The Wangyou Island island master never appeared.
Afterwards, there was no investigation whatsoever.
Even now, Jianghu people don’t know how Lord Ruyu managed this feat.
Some say Lord Ruyu truly concealed his capabilities deeply, and the Wangyou Island island master admitted defeat and thus did not appear.
However, this statement does not hold.
Wangyou Island was aloof, even the three major powers dared not provoke casually.
It’s not that the three major powers couldn’t destroy Wangyou Island.
It’s just that doing so is really not worthwhile, hence they could only let it be.
But this also showed that Wangyou Island’s island master’s martial arts were extraordinary, and was someone the three major powers must act cautiously around.
So, people could only speculate that the island master feared the Qi Family’s power.
Didn’t want to truly offend the Nanhai Alliance.
Later, someone used this as proof, relying on the background of the three major powers, causing trouble on the island, but ended up having their limbs severed and were thrown into the sea by Wangyou Island’s people.
This incident caused the powers backing that person to completely fall silent, acting as if nothing had happened.
People only then understood, what Lord Ruyu relied on was not the Qi Family’s influence.
But why he could achieve such a level, no one knew.
The unknown always intrigues, so, even till now, there are frequent rumors, but no one truly knows the truth.
…
…
These pieces of news are not secrets.
On Tianqi Island, you can casually find someone to inquire.
