"Ding! Congratulations on completing the side quest. You have defeated the Northern Martial Master Jinshan. Quest completion reward: 3000 Cultivation Points. "
"I lost?!" Jinshan felt goosebumps all over his body as his podao was pressed against his neck. However, he didn't care about it. His eyes were a little dazed, and his face was a little pale as he looked at Ye Xuan and mumbled to himself.
If he had lost dozens or hundreds of rounds with someone else, Jinshan wouldn't have felt this way. However, he didn't expect that he couldn't even last one move against Ye Xuan. He had been practicing martial arts since he was young, and his belief that his martial arts weren't bad had almost collapsed.
Ye Xuan couldn't bear to see Jinshan like this. To be honest, Jinshan and the others were pitiful people. They were the same as Yan Zhendong in Huang Fei-hung's world. They had to leave their hometown to make a living because of the war. However, they didn't have any other skills, so they could only use fighting to attract attention. At this time, the locals of Foshan were very xenophobic. The more they did this, the more the locals looked down on them.
"Thank you, Master Jinshan!" Ye Xuan took the podao off Jinshan's neck and handed it to his brother. Cupping his hands in obeisance, he said.
Jinshan didn't say a word. He glanced at Ye Xuan, then walked out of the courtyard in a daze.
"Scram, go back to your hometown …"
"Scram, country bumpkin …"
"Scram, get out of Foshan …"
Seeing Jinshan and the others leave, the surrounding crowd started to make a ruckus.
"Ah Hsuan, congratulations!!!" Ye Wen smiled and was the first to walk up to congratulate him.
"Mr Ye, congratulations, congratulations!" Li Zhao also walked up to congratulate him.
"Master Xuan, you're amazing!"
"Master Xuan, please accept me as your disciple!"
…
"Ding! Congratulations, you have obtained 2000 reputation points. Your current reputation progress is: Just as the crowd was congratulating him, the system notification rang in Ye Xuan's mind.
"Luck, luck, it's all luck!" Ye Xuan smiled and cupped his fists. Seeing that Jin Xushan and the others were about to disappear, Ye Xuan cupped his fists again and said, "I'm sorry, everyone, I still have something to do, so I'll take my leave first! Brother Wen, Captain Li, I'll take my leave first! "
"Alright, Ah Hsuan, come to my house again when you have time!" Ye Wen saw that Ye Xuan seemed to really have something on. Although he also wanted to ask Ye Xuan to stay behind for a chat, he didn't want to force him. He could only invite him to come again in the future.
"Mr Ye, you should leave first. When Mr Ye is free, I'll treat you to a cup of tea. I hope Mr Ye will come!" Li Zhao didn't dare to make Ye Xuan stay, so he smiled and cupped his fists.
"Of course! Definitely! " Ye Xuan cupped his fists. Seeing that Jin Xushan and the others were no longer in sight, he cupped his fists and smiled at the crowd as he walked out of Ye Wen's house.
Hundreds of people gathered together. Even if Ye Xuan walked out as fast as he could, it would still take him some time. By the time he walked out, Jin Xushan and the others were long gone. Ye Xuan could only chase in the direction they left, asking a few people along the way. He didn't expect to see them in a rundown temple in the west of the city.
"Big brother, what should we do in the future?"
"It's all that Ye Xuan and Ye Wen's fault. If it wasn't for them, we would've been rich!"
"Are we just going to let it go?"
"That's right, big brother. Ye Xuan and Ye Wen ruined our road to riches. We can't just let it go. Their martial arts are powerful, but as the saying goes, it's easy to dodge a spear in the open, but hard to guard against a stab in the dark. As long as we plan, it won't be easy. I don't believe that we can't … "
"Alright, that's enough!" It was noisy in the temple. Suddenly, Jin Xushan shouted and everyone quietened down.
"Big brother …"
"Big brother …"
"They fought me fair and square. If I lost to them, it's because I'm not skilled enough. What kind of man would I be if I hurt them in the dark?" Jin Xushan's voice was a little lonely, but it was still sonorous and powerful. "Don't worry. Even if we can't open a dojo, I won't let you guys starve to death. At most, we'll become grass!"
"Become grass …"
"Alright, big brother. If you want to become grass, we'll follow you. We came to Foshan to open a dojo, but they pushed us aside. Then we'll rob them!"
"Yes, third brother is right!"
"That's right, right …"
"Master Jin!" Ye Xuan walked out of the corner when he had heard enough. Looking at Jinshan, who was sitting in an old-fashioned wooden armchair with only three legs and one leg propped up by a piece of wood, Ye Xuan cupped his hands and said with a smile.
"What are you doing here?"
"Damn it. My big brother has already lost to you. Why are you here? Do you want to drive us away?" Jin Xushan's brothers saw Ye Xuan at the door and glared at him.
Jin Xushan stood up from his chair and walked forward. He waved his hand and interrupted his brothers. He looked at Ye Xuan and said in a deep voice, "What are you doing here? Do you really want me to drive us away? "
"Master Jin, you've misunderstood!" Ye Xuan smiled and waved his hand. He said, "I'm here because I want Master Jin to stay and help me!"
"Help you?" Jin Xushan glanced at the smiling Ye Xuan and sneered. "I can't help you. Please leave immediately!"
Ye Xuan didn't care about Jin Xuan's attitude. He smiled and said, "Master Jin, I sincerely hope that you can stay and help me. Now, not only are there warlords in the country, there are endless wars, and foreign forces are also running amok in the country. Guns are rampant, and martial artists like us have mortal bodies that can't stop bullets. Wherever we go, we will be controlled by others. I heard your conversation when I was outside. Master Jin, you've practiced martial arts for so many years. Isn't it a waste of your martial arts skills? "
"Humph! If it wasn't for you and Ye Wen, we wouldn't be in this place. Stop crying crocodile tears and get out of here! " A brawny man called Li Nuo, one of the Golden Mountain Brothers, said to Ye Xuan with a cold frown.
"This isn't a problem between me and Ye Wen. It's your problem." Ye Xuan glanced at them and shook his head.
"Our problem? What problem do we have? Don't talk nonsense here. Anyway, you've already defeated my brother. You can say whatever you want now! "Another man called Wu Jiazhuo said angrily.
"Your problem is that you've been wrong from the beginning. The reason why Foshan can become the home of southern martial arts is not because of how powerful the martial arts masters here are. It's because the people of Foshan have a kind of 'benevolence', a kind of martial virtue. You've abused your power and tried to conquer the whole of Foshan with it. You're going against the whole of Foshan. How can the people of Foshan tolerate you?" Ye Xuan looked at them and said.
When they heard what Ye Xuan said, they immediately fell silent. Jin Xushan's expression also changed. After a long silence, he suddenly looked at Ye Xuan and said in a deep voice, "What do you want me to help you with?"
Hearing Jin Xuan's words, Ye Xuan smiled and said, "I want you to help me fight against foreign invaders."
Fight against foreign invaders? Jin Xushan's eyes widened. He thought he had misheard. After a while, he realized that Ye Xuan was right. He looked at Ye Xuan like a madman and sneered, "Are you crazy? Who do you think you are? You … "
Suddenly, Ye Xuan's right index and middle fingers formed sword fingers and pointed at the podao in Fatty San's hand.
"Unsheathe!"
Clang!
With a clang, the podao was grabbed by an invisible hand. It spun a few times above Jin Xushan's head and finally stopped steadily in front of Ye Xuan.
Jin Xushan and his brothers stared at the scene in front of them with their eyes wide open. Their mouths were so wide that a duck's egg could be stuffed inside.
"God, god … god!"
