The boy deliberately blocked their way. When Nan Yun went left, he went left; when Nan Yun went right, he went right, as if he was deliberately looking for trouble.
Nan Yun placed his right hand on the whip coiled around his waist and said coldly, "Get out of the way..."
"If I don't give way, what can you do to me?" The boy unfolded his folding fan and waved it twice. "Kill me?"
Nagumo: "If you want to die, I don't mind sending you to be reincarnated right now."
"So you really want to kill me? As expected, cults are just this unreasonable."
At this point, the young man shouted, "Hey, these days, even cult leaders can participate in martial arts tournaments! The world is probably going to be in complete chaos..."
"Is there no one to stop the Li Yue Palace from bullying others?"
His words startled those who were drinking on the first floor of the inn and those who were watching Chu Jiangli from outside the door.
The boy's lips curled into a playful smile. He closed his folding fan and tapped it twice on his palm before pointing at Chu Jiangli: "With so many of you, so many martial arts masters, is there no one who dares to do anything about this blind man?"
You don't even dare to breathe loudly in his presence. Do you live up to your reputations? What face do you have to call yourselves chivalrous heroes?
These words were like stabbing those respectable and upright people in the chest.
The atmosphere became tense for a moment.
Immediately afterwards, Nan Yun drew his whip from his waist and lashed it at the boy!
"How dare you offend the Palace Master! You've got a death wish!"
Little did anyone know, the young man, despite his youth, was no pushover.
He immediately used his fan to wrap around Nan Yun's long whip, creating a stalemate.
Bai Xiao was also furious and was about to draw his sword when Yu Tang stopped him with a gesture.
"Tangtang?" Chu Jiangli asked, puzzled, after being pushed away by Yu Tang.
Just as he was about to ask, he saw Yu Tang walk straight towards the young man in blue.
Step by step, they arrived in front of each other.
Then he took off his hood, revealing his slender and handsome face, and smiled gently.
"Hello, I am the current head of the Yu family, a family of renowned physicians, and also the wife of Chu Jiangli, the master of the Liyue Palace. My name is Yu Tang."
He asked the young man, "May I ask your name?"
Yu Tang's attitude was so polite that it was impossible to find fault with him.
The young man originally intended to stand on the moral high ground to condemn Chu Jiangli and the others, but now he heard Yu Tang introduce himself.
He even claimed to be the eldest son of the Yu family, who was born with a natural affinity for medicine.
He suddenly felt a little embarrassed.
He replied stiffly, "My name is Chang Ning, and I am a wandering martial artist without any sect or affiliation."
"Okay, I understand." Yu Tang nodded.
He still had a smile on his face, but the next moment, he raised his hand and slapped Chang Ning twice hard across the face.
The two slaps not only stunned Chang Ning, but also shocked everyone present.
The only one who wasn't confused was Yu Tang himself.
The man rubbed his numb hands and said in a heavy voice, "Chang Ning, is that right? Since your father didn't teach you how to speak like a human being, I'll teach you a lesson today in his place."
Finally, Yu Tang added, "You're welcome..."
These words shocked everyone present.
After a while, Chu Jiangli laughed first, then grabbed Yu Tang, raised his sword to block the enraged Chang Ning, and flicked it upwards, knocking the other's folding fan away, which was stuck diagonally into the wall.
The next moment, the sword was pressed against Chang Ning's neck, the blade almost cutting into his throat.
This time, however, Chu Jiangli did not act directly. Instead, he asked Yu Tang, "Madam, shall we kill him?"
The meaning is very clear in just a few words.
He was separated from Chu Jiangli, the master of the Moon Palace, and only listened to Yu Tang.
If the man says to kill, he kills; if the man says to spare, he spares.
In a short while, Chang Ning was terrified.
He was confident in his martial arts skills and believed he had a good chance of winning against the protectors of Liyue Palace.
That's why they dared to provoke Chu Jiangli and tried to incite the people here to oppose him.
But now, Chu Jiangli's two light sword strikes have driven him into a dead end. He is certain that if he dares to move now, his head will roll!
Thinking he was about to die, Chang Ning, though outwardly fierce, said weakly, "Chu... Chu Jiangli! Don't be so arrogant! Evil will not prevail over good, you will be..."
“Apologize…” Yu Tang raised his eyes, interrupting Chang Ning’s words, his voice cold: “If you apologize, you can live.”
Suddenly, a way out appeared in the dead end. After a moment of stunned silence, a glimmer of hope flashed in Chang Ning's eyes.
His previous bravado seemed to crumble completely in an instant, and he hurriedly apologized, "Palace Master Chu, I was rude, I apologize to you, I hope you can spare my life!"
After listening to him, Yu Tang tapped Chu Jiangli's cheek and asked, "Are you still angry?"
Warmth seeped through the man's fingertips, spreading slowly throughout his body, and Chu Jiangli was slightly taken aback.
He didn't really care about these people's insults. After all, his strength was undeniable; if he didn't like someone, he could simply kill them.
But today, I heard Yu Tang speak up for him and reprimand others on his behalf.
He then realized how wonderful it felt to have someone you like support you.
After thinking for a moment, he deliberately said, "Angry..."
Yu Tang was stunned for a moment, and just as he was about to say something, he heard Chu Jiangli say again: "However, if you kiss me, I won't be angry."
Chapter 35
He died for the villain for the sixth time (35)
Yu Tang was amused by him.
This kid has even learned to bargain with him.
"You won't be angry anymore after the kiss?"
"Um……"
Chu Jiangli's serious tone left everyone around him speechless.
Then, they saw Yu Tang put his cloak back on and lean over to lightly touch Chu Jiangli's face.
The next moment, the longsword was sheathed.
Chu Jiangli completely suppressed his murderous intent, becoming as obedient as a large red-haired dog. He took Yu Tang's hand and walked past Chang Ning, who was sitting on the ground, without pausing.
It was as if Chang Ning was just an insignificant ant, failing to arouse his interest in the slightest.
After closing the door, Chu Jiangli put his arm around Yu Tang, resting his head on the man's shoulder and rubbing against him.
He really liked the man in front of him.
Those who love her wish they could meld Yu Tang into their very bones.
He thought that all the misfortunes of his first half of life were probably because he met this person now.
But after the excitement comes fear.
Because of Yu Tang's illness...
"After we finish the martial arts tournament in Jinglu Town, let's go to the capital," Chu Jiangli said. "I've already asked Bai Xiao to find a famous doctor. We'll take a stroll around the capital and then go to a clinic to treat your illness."
Upon hearing this, Yu Tang's heart sank.
But he didn't refuse, only agreeing and planning to find a way to fool the famous doctor later.
This martial arts tournament also invited the four major evil sects besides Liyue Palace.
But none of them dared to put on such a grand display as Chu Jiangli.
Moreover, even if they come, they hide in the shadows and don't even dare to wear the sect's clothes.
After all, they were the ones who had tricked Chu Jiangli.
When they first heard that Chu Jiangli was coming back, they fled Nanlu Mountain in a panic. Now that Chu Jiangli has brought so many people to participate in the martial arts tournament, it's no wonder they wouldn't dare to show their faces.
Just because they don't show themselves doesn't mean Chu Jiangli won't cause them trouble.
The Li Yue Palace followers, operating both openly and covertly, have formed a vast network in Jinglu Town, closely monitoring all martial arts practitioners who come to the town.
It can be said that as long as Chu Jiangli gives the order, all of Yu's enemies will be doomed.
There is no curfew in Jinglu Town, and it is even more lively at night.
The dozens of tables on the first floor of the inn were all filled with people drinking, and the topic of conversation was nothing more than Chu Jiangli and Yu Tang, whom they had seen that day.
Chang Ning sat dejectedly in the corner, her swollen face filled with resentment and anger.
He just couldn't stand how Chu Jiangli, a notorious villain hated by everyone, could be so arrogant!
Is there really no one in the martial arts world who can subdue him?!
Just then, the door of the inn was pushed open from the outside, and a young man dressed in a moon-white robe walked in. His steps were steady, and it was clear that his skill was not shallow.
More importantly, their long robes were embroidered with two crossed swords on the chest, clearly representing the Sword Forging Manor, which currently holds the top position among the righteous factions.
Their appearance caused quite a stir.
The three men, including Xing, shared a table with a less crowded one. They ordered two jugs of wine and a plate of beef, and then politely asked, "Gentlemen, I've heard that Palace Master Chu of Liyue Palace is staying at this inn. Why haven't I seen him come down for a drink?"
"So what if you see him?" Chang Ning walked over, fanning himself, his gaze sweeping over the people around him. He said sarcastically, "Do you dare to fight him?"
He laughed: "Everyone here clearly hates Chu Jiangli, but they don't even have the courage to fight him. They have no spirit of a righteous sect, not even as good as me, a rogue!"
His words offended a large number of people, and immediately some people stood up and shouted that they would teach him a lesson.
But he was stopped by the young man dressed in the attire of the Sword Forging Manor with a single sword strike.
The young man smiled at Chang Ning and said, "To put it bluntly, this martial arts tournament is to mediate the relationship between the righteous and evil factions and restore peace to the martial arts world."
"This is also the original intention of our manor lord in holding the martial arts tournament."
