Список самых красивых мужчин в мире боевых искусств

Глава 37

Shen Yuntan seemed to only then realize what was happening, looking quite panicked: "Huh? What happened? I'm so sorry, I'm so sorry, there was a fly just now, I quickly shooed it away."

Xu Ziqing slowly lowered his hand and realized that what had hit him was the corner of a table.

The injury on his face wasn't serious; it was just a minor cut that broke the skin, and the bleeding stopped in no time.

However, the injury was strange. It turned out that Shen Yuntan had already used his internal energy to scratch the wooden block, and now that it had been cut open, it was imprinted neatly on Xu Ziqing's face.

Seeing him frantically trying to stop the bleeding, Shen Yuntan apologized while smiling, "Brother Ziqing, your junior sister is quite something. The 'Soul Shattering Elixir' of Jinhu Manor was jointly made by the Tang Clan and the Sang Clan. It's extremely precious and not for ordinary people to use. I wonder how many respectable men your junior sister has seduced and how many romantic affairs she has accomplished to be worthy of such a divine medicine."

"Nonsense!" The moment Gu Yan was mentioned, Xu Ziqing seemed to become a different person, instantly becoming a man. "My junior sister was a wanderer in the martial world in her early years, and was harmed by villains who gave her such a vile poison. But she is pure and virtuous, and she will not allow you to slander her."

Pure and immaculate...

Maintaining a clean and virtuous lifestyle...

Shen Yun chuckled. Just by looking at her alluring eyes, all the men in the inn were captivated. Even though it was his first time meeting this woman, he could guess that she was Yan'er Mei, who had disappeared more than a year ago.

When Yan'er Mei was thirteen, two prominent figures fought fiercely for her sake, both dying from their injuries. The two infatuated men were Jun Bumei, the carefree rogue of Mount Hua, and Lin Banzhu, a skilled fighter from Mount Song. At that time, the Sang Clan was just rising in the martial arts world and had some grudges against the two factions. This commotion severely weakened Mount Hua and Mount Song, allowing the Sang Clan to reap the benefits, taking advantage of the situation and crippling Mount Hua and Mount Song, while also making Yan'er Mei famous throughout the martial arts world.

However, that woman was promiscuous and committed many evil deeds. In the end, she was besieged by more than a dozen martial arts experts and was seriously injured more than a year ago, after which her whereabouts became unknown. It was around the same time that Gu Yan first arrived at Xiaoyao Mountain.

Shen Yuntan habitually stroked his chin. What was the reason that this woman had managed to sneak onto Xiaoyao Mountain and was willing to marry Xu Ziqing?

He was distracted and ignored Xu Ziqing's loud shouting. Seeing that he had no reaction, Xu Ziqing became even more annoyed and shouted a few more words.

Shen Yuntan came to his senses and didn't reveal Gu Yan's identity. He just gave her a perfunctory reply. It was best that this kid was so devoted to Gu Yan. As long as he didn't have any designs on Shijiu, even if Gu Yan demolished Xiaoyao Manor, Shen Yuntan wouldn't even bat an eye.

"I don't know if your wife is virtuous and innocent. Or can you let me test her?" Seeing Xu Ziqing's furious outburst, he was even more delighted. "However, speaking of which, you've schemed against my nineteen-year-old, so we need to settle this score."

Xu Ziqing argued illogically: "Sister Yan is her junior sister! It's only right for her, as the senior sister, to find an antidote for her junior sister!"

A cold glint flashed in Shen Yuntan's eyes: "If this junior sister were to disappear like this, then as her senior sister, I should indeed be busy with the funeral arrangements."

Xu Ziqing's expression changed drastically.

"What are you trying to do?! Don't think you can do whatever you want just because you're good at martial arts!"

"What am I supposed to do?" Shen Yuntan smiled innocently, revealing his gleaming white teeth. "You're right, those with high martial arts skills can do whatever they want."

Xu Ziqing gritted his teeth, his knees buckled, and he knelt on the ground: "Young Master Shen, your martial arts are superb, please don't make things difficult for my wife. If you want to fight or kill, let's settle this between men. I don't need my senior sister to find any antidote for me; when she returns, I will go and apologize to her..."

The word "apology" was uttered through gritted teeth.

Shen Yuntan waved his hand and slapped him hard on the shoulder: "Good! A real man!"

He blinked and smiled, "The antidote isn't a difficult thing to find. Helping out wouldn't hurt."

His sudden change of heart delighted Xu Ziqing. Shen Yun's martial arts skills were unparalleled; if… he were willing to help…

Shen Yun lowered his voice and said, "However, you must do three things for me. The first two are relatively easy, but the last one is a bit difficult."

"I am willing to live or die for Sister Yan!" He said this in a loud voice, as if he was deliberately saying it to Gu Yan in the next room.

"Hmm, he's a man of great loyalty and affection." Shen Yuntan lowered his voice and leaned close to his ear.

"First of all, I'm still a useless scholar, aren't I?" His clear black and white eyes were very sincere, and Xu Ziqing almost really thought that someone else had attacked him just now.

"Yes... Young Master Shen is a scholar... The injury I sustained just now was due to my own carelessness."

"Very good!" Shen Yuntan smiled with satisfaction. "We've been traveling together these past few days, so I'm afraid you won't be able to be intimate with your wife for the time being. It's all my fault; I accidentally shoved a steel needle into your shoulder. For the past month, if you've been near a woman... cough cough... cough cough... You know, the soundproofing in the inn isn't very good, and Nineteen is still a virgin. It wouldn't be good if she heard. So... I'm sorry to trouble Brother Xu."

Xu Ziqing's expression changed drastically. He and Gu Yan were newlyweds, their relationship tender and affectionate. Moreover, Xu Ziqing was only twenty years old, in the prime of his life.

Seeing his ever-changing expression, Shen Yuntan secretly burst out laughing.

"Brother Xu just said he would live or die for Miss Gu, which really piqued my curiosity," Shen Yuntan said with an innocent expression. "I know Brother Xu's affection is deeply moving, how could I just ask him to die? But I've never seen a man give birth before. I wonder when Brother Xu could show me?"

Xu Ziqing's face was greener than anyone else's.

Having finally managed to suppress her anger, Xu Ziqing changed into clean clothes and went out to buy medicine, still extremely annoyed. Just as she stepped out of the pharmacy, she saw a cloud of red drifting towards her, scattering the crowd. The crimson silk was of the finest quality; the figure of Nineteen was slender and graceful, and as she moved, her robes billowed and her wide sleeves fluttered—truly a beautiful sight.

Xu Ziqing looked up and was somewhat stunned.

It turns out that his senior sister was so dazzling.

While he was still in a daze, Nineteen had already circled around him, giving him a bright smile...

Xu Ziqing originally thought she would definitely cause him trouble again, but to his surprise, he saw such a captivating smile. His heart fluttered, and he thought to himself, "She is so happy to see me. It seems she still can't let me go."

But then she saw Nineteen's lips curl up: "Junior brother, your face?"

Xu Ziqing looked a little embarrassed and touched her scabbed wound: "I bumped into it by accident."

Tang Shijiu smiled radiantly, bending over and unable to straighten up: "Junior brother, where did you bump into something? How could you bump your forehead like that?"

She spoke quite loudly, and many people around her laughed along with her.

Xu Ziqing was startled. He took the small mirror from Nineteen and was surprised to find that the forehead where Shen Yuntan had hit him with the wooden block had scabbed over and formed two characters.

"Turtle."

Watching Xu Ziqing storm out in a rage, Shen Yuntan poured himself another cup of tea, feeling extremely smug as he imagined the hilarious scene about to unfold on the street.

Suddenly, the door opened, and Shen Yuntan slowly raised his head, seeing a small face filled with fear, innocence, and pitifulness: "This servant is Gu Yan, greetings to Young Master Shen."

Chapter Twenty-Four: Seduction

Shen Yuntan dropped his smug expression and put on a polite face: "Mrs. Xu, hello."
