Cheng Jiaxuan said worriedly, "He even taught you how to strike acupoints? He's really a devil. " Seeing that the eunuch had changed his clothes, he quickly warned him, "When you go out, don't randomly strike acupoints when you're fighting with others." The Xuan Shuang laughed and said, "Nonsense, I still have to pretend to be an obedient child in front of everyone. How could I not know how to control my strength?" He pushed the little eunuch's stiff body back into the chair and swept his gaze toward the door. He raised his voice and shouted, "You blind thing! Can't you see that I'm busy? Get out, get out! "
Cheng Jiaxuan saw that the Xuan Shuang was randomly throwing a tantrum, but it didn't seem like he was talking to him. He was confused for a moment. He then saw the Xuan Shuang pull down the brim of his hat and lower his head. He mumbled a response and pretended to be timid as he shrank out of the hall. Cheng Jiaxuan finally had some clues. She laughed and said, "This trick isn't the same as the previous rich young ladies who used to exchange clothes with their maids to escape from marriage. They used to use the Golden Cicada's Shell Escape Tactic. This little demon Lord Baylor is really unlucky. He's definitely going to pretend to be a girl. Hee hee. "He couldn't help but cover his mouth and snicker.
The Xuan Shuang was wearing the eunuch's uniform. He kept his head down all the way out of the Snow Song Palace. Sure enough, not a single Imperial Bodyguard looked at him and secretly praised his brilliant plan. But if he really went to train a horse, wearing this set of clothes was really inappropriate. He flashed to a corner and quickly took off his clothes. He stuffed them into a hole in the wall and stuffed a brick in the hole.
As soon as he stood up, he saw a person sitting cross-legged on the ground with his back facing him. The Xuan Shuang's heart thumped. He didn't know if the person saw him hiding his clothes. He decided that no matter who it was, he would knock them out first. After searching the ground for a long time, he picked up a rough stone and weighed it in his hand. He only wanted to prevent that person from telling on him, but he didn't want to cause a death.
He went around the corner and saw that person holding a leaf in his hand. He put it to his mouth and played with his lips pursed, like a scholar who failed to pass the imperial examination. He took a step back with his left leg, raised his right hand, and threw the stone with all his might. He was worried that he would use too much strength and accidentally kill someone. Unexpectedly, it was as if the man had eyes on the back of his head. He raised his hand and waved it behind him. The rock was sent flying back toward the Xuan Shuang.
When the Xuan Shuang saw that the rocks were coming at him, he quickly jumped up to dodge. He spread his legs in the air so that no one could see him. He felt embarrassed. That person followed up with another attack, and with a flip of his hand, he threw the leaf over. Although it was just a thin leaf, under the effect of his inner strength, it became a powerful dart. One could even hear the sound of it piercing through the air.
Xuan Shuang's body was in midair. In this critical moment, he used his legs to block the trunk behind him and dodged to the side. The leaves flew past his ears. Suddenly his competitive spirit rose. He felt that blindly dodging was too useless. He also remembered what Cheng Jiaxuan said: 'Only by being a master can one be considered capable.' He raised his left hand and firmly grabbed a branch above his head. His right hand quickly grabbed the leaf. He wanted to return the favor.
But the leaf was too fast. He had to use all his strength just to hold it back, let alone throw it back. He landed on the ground with a belly full of complaints. Only then did he see that the person he had just attacked was his Shifu, Li Zongbing. His face immediately turned red. He quickly saluted and said, "Shifu!"
That Li Zongbing's name was Li Yijie. Hearing this, he smiled faintly and said, "What's wrong? You just finished lunch and you can't sit still anymore. You want to ask your Shifu for some advice? Just now you were dodging the secret projectile. Your movements were very nimble. Obviously your martial arts have improved. "
Xuan Shuang knew that his Shifu always spoke his mind. Since he said he wanted to ask for advice, he did not mean to mock him. He replied, "It's all thanks to Shifu's good teaching."
His Shifu was a righteous person, but in front of his Shifu, he was too sincere and straightforward. When he was little, he did not understand, so he regarded his Shifu as his father, always playing with him. Later on, when Noble Consort Yun asked, he was standing by his Shifu's side. While stroking his head, his Shifu told him everything in detail. Even his casual jokes were repeated without missing a single word.
Xuan Shuang was greatly shocked, but hearing that his Shifu was just repeating the truth, he did not mean to complain. He only complained a few words and did not investigate further. He did not expect that the same thing would happen again. This time he was so angry that his lungs were about to explode. He secretly swore that in the future whatever was on his mind, he would never tell his Shifu. He would rather keep it all in his heart. In front of his Shifu, he would pretend to be serious and stupid.
All the people close to Xuan Shuang were frowning all day long, as if they had a bellyful of unspeakable depression. Even though he was young, he was already mature. He knew how to weave a cocoon membrane to hide his true self. It was easy to deceive Li Yijie, but in his heart, he really rejected communicating with him. When he saw him, he wanted to stay far away. He did not expect that this time he would deliver himself to his doorstep. He did not know that his Shifu, who was open-minded and straightforward on the outside, also had a bitter history in his heart.
It was a long story. Xuan Shuang's Shifu, Noble Consort Yun, whose original name was Shen Shiyun, was originally the Eldest Miss of Shadowless Mountain Villa in Jiangnan. Later on, because of a tragic accident, her family was destroyed and she wandered alone in Jianghu. It was Li Yijie who rescued her from danger and escorted her all the way, giving her the opportunity to enter the palace.
Li Yijie fell in love with the fairy-like beauty Shen Shiyun at first sight. After learning that she had become the Imperial Concubine, he still could not forget her in his heart. In the end, he tried every possible way to find an opportunity to enter the palace to visit her. He knew that all his feelings and bitterness were nothing more than a one-sided love that would eventually go down the drain. But he was willing just to see her often. He stayed in the Snow Song Palace for six years. But she did not like him, so he lived in the most dilapidated house.
Before he entered the palace, he had won the Great Assembly of Heroes in one fell swoop and was crowned the Alliance Leader. While he was staying in the palace, he completely ignored the affairs of the Wulin world. The crowd of heroes complained about him everywhere. They often proposed that he be removed from his position and set up a new leader. But because they could not find a suitable candidate, each time the matter was left unsettled.
The highly respected Abbot of Shaolin Temple, Reverend Tongchan, was in secluded meditation and did not pay attention to worldly affairs. Later on, Wudang Pai's Sect Leader, Lin Kong Daozhang, who was equally famous in terms of seniority and prestige, was in charge of the important affairs. His Sect's disciple, Jie Yan, and Kunlun's Sect Leader, Liang Yue, were his assistants.
Li Yijie was bullied and humiliated. Although he was angry in his heart, he only hated himself for being incompetent. He never blamed Shen Shiyun for even half a sentence. During these six years, some sparse stubble grew on his chin. His hair was disheveled, and his buttons were unbuttoned, revealing the coarse cloth inside. He looked particularly bleak. When he first came down the mountain, he was a young man with a heart full of ambition and lofty aspiration. He had already been lost in the rolling torrent of time without any trace.
Li Yijie was thinking about the past. For a moment he was absent-minded, but then he forced a smile and said, "That was all due to your outstanding perception. Shifu was only assisting you from the side to stimulate your potential. Xuan Shuang pretended to be modest. Li Yijie kindly asked, "Running out at this time, have you done your homework?"
Xuan Shuang was very unhappy. Pouting her small mouth, she said in her heart, "You are my military officer Shifu, but you are meddling in other people's business. My civil officer Shifu has never asked me anything about martial art. "Although her heart was cursing to the sky, she still pretended to be respectful and replied," Yes, I have completed it. "Li Yijie showed a gratified smile." Good, "he said. Noble Consort Yun is a bit stricter with you because she hopes that when you grow up, you will have a promising future. This kind of painstaking effort must not be wasted. "
Xuan Shuang said, "Yes." She thought, "Who are you to me? Do I need you to educate me? At least you are clear about Empress's thoughts. "Patiently she replied," Shifu, disciple still has some matters to attend to. I beg to be excused first. "Li Yijie nodded. Xuan Shuang felt as if she had finally escaped from the sea of bitterness. She strode past him. She had not taken more than a few steps when she heard Li Yijie calling her from behind, "Disciple." Xuan Shuang's smiling face immediately collapsed. Trying hard to maintain a straight face, she turned around and said, "Shifu, do you have any other instructions?"
Li Yijie said, "You are in a hurry, yet you look happy. What crafty idea did you come up with?" Xuan Shuang said in her heart, "I stole a chicken feather as an arrow. Why should I report my whereabouts to you?" But if she provoked his suspicion, he might go to Empress and say something, which would create a pile of trouble out of thin air. She had no choice but to tell him honestly about the horse training. Who would have thought that Li Yijie's face turned stiff. "That won't do," he said, "I don't agree! Those horses are very fierce, you can't touch them. "
Xuan Shuang had been suppressing his anger for a long time, but this time he could not restrain himself. His face also turned stiff. "What?" he said coldly, "I am the future Crown Prince, the future Emperor of a country! You said I can't touch those horses. Could it be that the person who can touch them has a more honorable status than me? "
Li Yijie was startled. He did not expect this child to speak in a bureaucratic manner at such a young age. Listening to his speech, it was obvious that he was full of ambition. This was both a good thing and a bad thing. It all depended on which direction he would lead in the future. Once he embarked on the crooked path, his ambition would become his ambition. When that time came, it would be out of control. "Shifu has good intentions," she said, "I am worried about your safety. Fierce horses are very difficult to tame. You have a priceless body. If by any chance you were injured, your Empress would be very sad. "
Xuan Shuang humphed coldly and said, "Since ancient times, the emperors, kings, generals and ministers who have accomplished outstanding meritorious deeds were awe-inspiring and fearless in the face of magnificent army with thousands of men and horses. Could it be that I, the young Crown Prince, do not even have the courage to tame a little horse? "
Li Yijie had always strived to complete the task Shen Shiyun entrusted to him perfectly. He was always worried that Xuan Shuang would stray off the crooked path, which was his responsibility. Therefore, he was willing to help Xuan Shuang to control him. Listening to Xuan Shuang's words, he reasoned with him. Righteously and sternly he said, "Showing off momentary bravery is the conduct of a boorish man. How can it be the conduct of an emperor? To accomplish great things, not only you must have courage, you must also have the ability to match it. You said you can tame a fierce horse, you must prove it to Shifu first. "Xuan Shuang angrily said," There are no horses here, how can I prove it? Aren't you forcing me to do something I don't want to do? "
Li Yijie thought for a moment. He walked to the side and picked up a rock. Placing it on top of his head, he said, "Now you attack Shifu. Punch me, kick me, whatever move you can think of, use it. If you can make this rock on top of my head fall to the ground within ten moves, Shifu will recognize your ability and won't stop you anymore. " Xuan Shuang was just about to agree, but then he had a second thought. He must first block any unfavorable path. Rolling his eyes, he said, "That's not fair. Your qinggong is very good. If you keep jumping up and down to evade, I won't be able to catch up with you. In the end I will have no choice but to admit defeat. "
Li Yijie forced a smile. Using his left foot as an axis, he rotated the tip of his right foot around his body, drawing a circle with a small diameter. He said, "During the martial art competition, if my foot goes out of the circle, it will be considered my loss." Xuan Shuang thought, "He can't move. Although I can't beat him, if I can't even make his rock fall to the ground, then I have lived my life in vain." "Very well," he replied, "That's it."
As soon as his voice fell, he leaped up. 'Whoosh!' his right fist punched toward Li Yijie's face. He wanted to catch him off guard and defeat him. At the same time he shouted, "First move!"
Li Yijie slightly tilted his head to evade. He raised his hand to grab Xuan Shuang's right wrist. Xuan Shuang changed his fist into a palm, aiming directly at Li Yijie's meridian. His left fist did not stop for even a moment, it struck toward Li Yijie's left rib. "Second move!" he shouted.
Li Yijie circulated his internal energy. His chest was as hard as a boulder. Taking advantage of the pain from Xuan Shuang's fist, he quickly raised his hand to grab Xuan Shuang's left wrist. However, Xuan Shuang's right hand did not resist. His blood and qi were shaken by the blade of Xuan Shuang's palm. Xuan Shuang's palm rotated in midair, and then he fiercely struck the ground. Borrowing the rebounding force, he planted his right foot on the ground. Suddenly he raised his left foot and ruthlessly kicked Li Yijie's face with the heel. "Third move!" he shouted.
Li Yijie saw the strength of this kick. He did not have the opportunity to change his stance midway, so he knew Xuan Shuang intended to deal a heavy blow to him. Right now he only regarded Xuan Shuang as a life-or-death opponent, and did not care about the master and disciple relationship. Xuan Shuang did not know whether he should be happy or sad. Leaning his head back, he grabbed Xuan Shuang's wrist and pulled him up. Xuan Shuang lightly swung him in the air and flung him to the side.
