Henry followed Wilbur into the Zhu family's

manor.

"Old Wilbur, this artificial hill has been laid

down for many years. It's time to repair it.

Otherwise, it will collapse one day." Henry

glanced at the yard and commented.

Although the Zhu family and the Su Family

were both parts of the Ancient kungfu

family, the Zhu family was much bigger

than the Su Family.

In the manor, there was an artificial hill and

a small lake. The lake was full of lotus

flowers, and there was a pavilion in the

centre of the lake.

There were many houses, bungalows and

buildings built in the manor.

Although it was called a manor, it was

actually similar to a small residential area.

However, this residential area completely

belonged to the Zhu family.

There were shops and vegetable baskets

in the manor. Everything that could be

found in the outside world.

The so-called adherence to the principle

did not mean they were stubborn. If there

was a way to use the electric lamp, why

would anyone want to use the kerosene

lamp?

The whole manor was roughly divided into

three areas.

The largest one was the residential area.

Henry saw that the tallest building had a

total of eight floors, and each family was

separated into different floors. As for the

small two buildings and the small villas,

they were for the people with higher status

in the Zhu family. Only the people who

made a major contribution to the Zhu

family could live here.

In addition to the residential area, there

was a livestock area where the plants were

planted and the animals were raised.

The third area was the kungfu area. It was

a huge square platform, half the size of a

football field, with wooden stakes on it.

Around the platform, there were weapons

such as swords.

In the manor of the Zhu family, there were

many people, including men and women,

old and young. Without counting those

who were not at home, there were more

than a hundred people in the manor. On

the platform, more than a dozen young

people of the Zhu family were practising

their martial arts under the guidance of an

old generation of the Zhu family.

Henry nodded and said with a smile, "Old

Zhu, you live a comfortable life with so

many children and grandchildren."

Wilbur showed a sense of loneliness on his

face. "They're not bad, but no one is

promising. If one of my grandchildren can

catch up with one-tenth of your strength,

even if I die, I'll still be able to smile at

you."

Henry smiled and did not say anything. He

was not modest, because his

achievements were indeed beyond

people's reach.

Henry followed Wilbur for two steps and

asked, "Old Zhu, do you know who is going

to do something to your Zhu family?"

When Wilbur heard Henry mention this

topic, his expression became a little

serious and he shook his head. "I just

heard the news. I'm afraid it has something

to do with that matter."

Henry Zhang guessed, "Is it the thing you

told me last time?"

"Exactly." Wilbur nodded. "I'll show you

something else first."

Wilbur took Henry to a study room. The

study room was independent with no other

rooms. The study room was decorated like

the library. Several bookshelves were

placed and they were full of books.

Henry glanced at the books on the

bookshelf. They were not some books, but

some introductions, as well as the Su

Family's history.

Wilbur walked to a bookshelf at the most

corner of the study, which was a little grey.

Wilbur picked up a book with yellow

papers. The whole book was sewed with

needle thread. It could be seen that it was

a long time ago.

Wilbur flicked the dust off the book and

handed the book to Henry. "Take a look.

This is something that my great-

grandfather had recorded back then."

Henry took over the book with a strange

expression. Wilbur's great-grandfather?

This must have traced back to the middle-

stage of the Qing dynasty.

Henry flipped open a page casually. The

characters of the Qing Dynasty were

written in Manchu language, but they were

not used commonly. At that time, most of

the characters were in Chinese, but some

of them were written in different ways, and

the styles of writing were from top to

bottom, from right to left. Until now, some

of the characters were very blurred, but

Henry could still understand them.

"Today, I was hit by Chen Cheng's fist. The

Qi entered my heart and couldn't be

expelled for a long time. I'm wandering in

my heart. I won't be able to practice martial

arts for the next seven days."

Henry read another page.

"The swordsman from the Central Plains

are no match for the heads of the major

sects. They have never been defeated.

They are indeed the top masters in the

martial arts world. Their Qi has reached the

peak. Since I have broken through to the

original realm today, I thought that I could

compete with them. It was really an

arrogant idea."

Henry turned over a few more pages, all of

which were recorded in the form of a diary.

In these records, Henry captured a

keyword, Qi!

The old master of Zhu, almost every page,

mentioned Qi. The strength of Qi

represented the strength of a person.

Wilbur looked at Henry's face and said,

"Do you know about Qi?"

Henry returned the book to Wilbur and

thought for a few seconds. "I should have

seen it. Someone mentioned it to me at

that time, but what he said was not Qi, but

another name."

Wilbur said with a self-deprecating smile,

"In terms of Qi, it's just a general term in

our country. In other places, it has its own

name. Our Zhu family calls itself an ancient

kungfu family. In the end, we just watch

the sky from the well. My master's record

completely refreshed my cognition. At that

time, the Qi was something that all martial

arts practitioners had."

"When did you see this record?" Henry

asked in confusion.

"I'm so ashamed." Wilbur shook his head.

"This record has always been kept in this

study room. I didn't see it until some time

ago. And the thing I want to show you is

also recorded in this record."

"Take me to see what you're talking

about." Henry frowned.

When he first went to the King Region in

Europe, Henry and the president of the

region had a battle. In fact, they talked

more about something. The president of

the region and Henry only fought against

each other with one move, which was that

move. Henry's wrist was injured and he

had not recovered yet.

For a long time, Henry had felt a vague

thing in his wrist. He didn't know what it

was.

Now, Henry had already made a guess in

his mind, that was, Qi!

According to the records of Wilbur's great-

grandfather's books, Qi that entered into

one's body and could not be expelled for a

long time. It was impossible to practice

martial arts.

Although Henry had not told anyone about

it, his wrist was indeed not as strong as

before.

Actually, Henry had a way to get rid of the

strange feeling in his wrist completely.

Although it took a little longer, he could still

do it with his medical skills. However,

Henry hadn't done that all the time

because he really wanted to figure out

what it was! Where did it come from!

The more powerful a person was, the more

he could feel the greatness of this world.

Henry and Wilbur walked out of the study

and got into a special car. What Wilbur

wanted to show onry was not in the Zhu

family's manor.

The car drove out of the Zhu family's

manor and went further away from the city.
