The heavens began with the Divine Condor becoming the disciple of the Old Urchin.

Chapter 61: A Feast for Heroes

After the group descended Mount Hua, Hong Qigong lingered in Qian Jin's small wooden house for a while before bidding farewell and leaving again.

Watching Hong Qigong's figure gradually disappear into the distance, Xiaolongnu couldn't help but ask:

"Brother Qian, where are we going next? Or should we stay here for a while longer?"

Upon hearing this, Qian Jin said:

"I promised Island Master Huang that I would take Sister Cheng Ying with me to roam the martial world, so let's go to town first and see if anything major has happened in the martial world recently."

Then we can go and join in the fun together.

The three packed their belongings, retrieved some planks, temporarily sealed off the cabin, and then set off for the nearest town.

Upon arriving in town, they inquired and learned of the grand banquet for heroes in Lujiazhuang.

It is said that the Lu Family Manor Heroes' Feast is a grand event that only comes once every few decades, and the host has invited countless renowned heroes to gather together.

They wanted to take this opportunity to elect a leader of the martial arts world to lead the heroes in resisting the Mongol Tartars and prevent them from invading the Song Dynasty again.

Upon receiving the news, Qian Jin smiled and said:

"This grand banquet of heroes has gathered heroes from all over the world; we should definitely go and see it."

Upon hearing this, Little Dragon Girl said:

"So what if they are heroes of the world? In my eyes, none of them can compare to you."

Moreover, the host claimed to have invited heroes from all over the world, yet he didn't even invite you. I don't think he deserves the name of a grand banquet for heroes.

Little Dragon Girl rarely praised anyone, so Qian Jin was naturally very pleased to hear this and said:

"Actually, that's not quite right. Since it's a grand banquet for heroes, there will still be a few heroes present at the event."

Upon hearing this, Cheng Ying, who was standing to the side, said:

"It's not that there are no heroes at the Heroes' Feast, but we feel that without Brother Qian, it can't be considered a true Heroes' Feast."

"Oh?"

Upon hearing this, Qian Jin turned to look at Cheng Ying, whose face was slightly flushed, and couldn't help but laugh:

"In that case, in order for the Heroes' Feast to truly be called a Heroes' Feast, we absolutely must go and take a look around."

……

Qian Jin wasn't in a hurry. He led Cheng Ying and Xiaolongnu on a journey, playing as they went. By the time the three of them arrived at the Heroes' Banquet at Lu Family Manor, the banquet had already been going on for quite some time.

As soon as the three approached, they heard the sounds of fighting coming from inside.

Little Dragon Girl couldn't help but ask curiously:

"Wasn't it supposed to be a grand feast for heroes? Why are they fighting?"

Upon hearing this, Qian Jin smiled and said:

"They want to use the grand banquet of heroes to elect a leader of the martial arts world. There will inevitably be those who disagree, so at this time, it will be a contest of who has the strongest martial arts."

Upon hearing this, Little Dragon Girl thought for a moment and said:

"Even if a martial arts alliance leader is determined through this constant fighting, it won't mean anything."

As they spoke, the three of them entered Lu Family Village. In the distance, they saw a great monk bowing to the assembled heroes and then smashing a golden pestle on the ground.

Opposite him, a man holding two iron oars said a few words and then began to fight the big monk.

Upon seeing this, Qian Jin knew that it was the Golden Wheel Monk and his disciples who had come to cause trouble, hoping to seize the position of leader of the martial arts world.

Now that Darba has made a move, it must be because the second of the three matches agreed upon by Jinlun Fawang and Guo Jing has already taken place.

Huo Du made the first move and injured Zhu Ziliu with insidious means, thus winning the first match.

In this second match, Darba will face Diancang Yuyin, and barring any unforeseen circumstances, Darba will also win.

If the Golden Wheel Monk's side wins two consecutive matches, they will be considered victorious.

But at this moment, Yang Guo will jump out and cause trouble, then defeat Huo Du and Darba in succession, turning the tide of the battle.

Now that Yang Guo is no longer around, this task will have to be done by him.

"Brother Qian, that monk looks familiar. He should be one of the people who besieged you outside the ancient tomb back then."

Standing next to Qian Jin, Little Dragon Girl looked at Darba in the distance and suddenly spoke.

Upon hearing this, Qian Jin said:

"You recognized them too? They're here to cause trouble today."

Upon hearing this, Little Dragon Girl tilted her head and thought for a moment, then said:

"Since they're here to cause trouble, let's chase them all away!"

Upon hearing this, Qian Jin said:

"They are outnumbered today. If we directly attack and drive them away, it would seem like we are not following the code of chivalry and are bullying the weak with numbers."

So wait a minute, we still need to follow the rules and defeat them fairly and squarely.

You just said that monk attacked me outside the ancient tomb. So, how about I let you go up and beat him up to avenge me?

Little Dragon Girl didn't care about chivalry or honor, but upon hearing Qian Jin's words, she nodded directly and said:

"Okay, you tell me how to fight, and I'll fight exactly that way."

Upon hearing this, Qian Jin glanced around the Heroes' Banquet and spotted Yang Guo mixed in with the Quanzhen Sect's group, watching the competition on the field with a serious expression.

ha?

He searched everywhere but couldn't find Yang Guo. He never expected that the kid would come to the Heroes' Feast with Sun Bu'er and the others.

"Long'er, sister, come on, I'll take you to meet my eldest disciple."

Qian Jin said something, and then led Xiaolongnu and Cheng Ying towards Yang Guo's direction.

As soon as Qian Jin and the others approached, Yang Guo immediately noticed Qian Jin. He then disregarded the match and rushed over, saying:

"Master, you've finally arrived. I knew this grand banquet of heroes wouldn't be what it is without your presence."

Seeing Yang Guo immediately start flattering him, Qian Jin slapped him and said:

"Stop being so cheeky. Where have you been all this time? I've looked for you everywhere and couldn't find you."

Yang Guo, having been slapped, smiled sheepishly and said:

"Master, I didn't run around! Didn't you teach me not to act recklessly and to think things through before acting?"

After I was taken away by my adoptive father, I have always stayed with him.

At first, my godfather was mentally unstable, so I thought I would stay a few more days to take care of him.

However, my godfather gradually regained his senses and told me that he had done many wrong things in his life. He told me that I must be a good person in the future, listen to my master, and never be like him.

Later, my godfather said he had some unfinished business to attend to, and then he left alone.

After seeing my godfather off, I knew I couldn't stay away from Quanzhen for too long, so I immediately rushed back to Quanzhen.

It wasn't until recently, when I received an invitation to the Heroes' Feast, that I came to Lu Family Manor with Uncle Hao and Uncle Sun.

Upon hearing this, Qian Jin looked at Yang Guo with surprise and said:

"You're saying your godfather has regained his senses? That's impossible! As far as I know, he's been mentally unstable for over ten years!"

Tell me quickly, how exactly did he regain his senses?
