Chapter - 254 The Underground Old Lady (8) (1/2)
Yang Guo and Lu E both felt rather surprised by this.
Qiu Qianchi said proudly, ”You two are still young, of course you wouldn't understand the principles within them. The Iron Palm Clan Chief, the 'Iron Palm Water Floater' Qiu Qianren is my brother. Yang Guo, tell Lu E about the Iron Palm Clan.”
Yang Guo was startled and asked, ”The Iron Palm Clan? I'm not very knowledgeable; I really don't know what the Iron Palm Clan is.”
Qiu Qianchi scolded him, ”Little punk, you dare tell lies in front of me! The Iron Palm Clan is famous throughout the world. Along with the Beggar Clan, we're classed as the world's two greatest clans; how can you not know?”
Yang Guo said, ”Junior has heard of the Beggar Clan before but the Iron Palm Clan…”
Qiu Qianchi was exasperated and scolded, ”Ha-ha, you've practiced martial arts and you don't even know anything about the Iron Palm Clan…”
Lu E saw that her mother's face had reddened with anger; she interrupted and tried to persuade her, ”Mother, brother Yang is not even twenty yet; he has studied with his Master deep in the mountains ever since he was young; of course there are things about the Wulin that he doesn't know.”
Qiu Qianchi ignored her and kept on grumbling.
Twenty years ago, the Iron Palm Clan was indeed very famous; but at the second Mount Hua competition, the Iron Palm Chief Iron Palm Water Floater Qiu Qianren entered religion and the tutelage of the Reverend Yideng. The Iron Palm Clan dispersed immediately after that. When the Iron Palm Clan was dispersing, Yang Guo had just been born and no one had ever mentioned the clan to him before, so naturally he wouldn't know anything about it. His mother Mu Nianci had actually lost her virtue to his father Yang Kang on Iron Palm Peak; his mother became pregnant and Yang Guo was conceived.
Now as Qiu Qianchi talked about this, his eyes stared, not knowing how to reply. Qiu Qianchi had been in the Passionless Valley for almost thirty years; she has not heard about the changes in the Wulin world. She just knew that the Iron Palm Clan had been famous for hundreds of years, so they must be flourishing even more at the present time. But now she heard that Yang Guo hadn't even heard of the three words 'Iron Palm Clan' before; of course she would break out in a thunderous rage.
Yang Guo was being insulted and cursed at for no reason at all; at first he forced himself to take it; but as it went on, the insults were beginning to go too far. He was starting to get angry and was about to answer back when, just as he was going to open his mouth, he saw Lu E staring at him. Her eyes were filled with tenderness and her face was looking apologetic. Yang Guo's heart softened and his face showed a helpless expression; he was beginning to feel contented as he thought, ”The worse your mother treats me the better you treat me. The old bat's words just brush past the ears, while the beauty's warmth goes to my heart.” His brain became active as his heart relaxed; suddenly he thought, ”Miss Wanyan Ping's martial arts appeared to be of the same school as Gongsun Zhi; she also said that she practiced the ”Iron Palm”; she must have some kind of connection with the Iron Palm Clan.”
He closed his eyes and recalled that when Wanyan Ping fought Yelu Qi, he could remember about seventy or eight percent of it. When he fought Gongsun Zhi just a few hours ago, his attacks and form were even clearer in his mind and he called out, ”Ah, I remember.”
Qiu Qianchi said, ”What?”
Yang Guo said, ”Three years ago I saw an extraordinary Wulin Senior battle eighteen men from the world of Jianghu; he fought them all empty handed. In the end he seriously injured nine of them and killed the other nine. I heard this great person say that he was from the Iron Palm Clan.”
Qiu Qianchi asked quickly, ”What did this person look like?”
Yang Guo made it up as he went along and said, ”This person was bald and was around sixty years of age, his face glowed and he was tall, he wore a green gown and said he said his surname was Qiu…”
