"No," Jiang Liechen said, "Zhen Zhe has always admired true gentlemen, what I hate are those deceitful dog thieves of the righteous sect. On the surface they speak of benevolence, righteousness, and morality, but in reality they harbor evil intentions. Their conduct is no less than the Devil Cult's. It's a pity that in this present age, I have yet to see anyone worthy of the title of true gentleman. " With a bitter laugh the young man said, "Naturally I know that you, Hierarch Jiang, are a real villain. You are not a match for me, so you want to attack your own comrade, using her as bait to distract your opponent and defeat him. I have never seen or heard of this kind of strategy before. I really concede defeat. "
Jiang Liechen said, "Then consider it as thanks to Zhen Zhe for letting you broaden your horizons. But I don't know, since you have already seen through the truth, why do you still want to save her? Someone has laid a trap, and someone has to jump into it willingly to achieve their goal. Otherwise, as long as you don't fall into the trap, Zhen Zhe still won't be able to do anything to you. " The young man said, "I also unintentionally fell into your trap. Unfortunately, I also know that if I didn't save her just now, you wouldn't have stopped at the last moment, and then I would have hit you hard. If that happened, this flower-like, jade-like girl would inevitably be seriously injured. Zhen Zhe couldn't bear it."
With a cold laugh Jiang Liechen said, "Turns out Zhen Zhe misunderstood you. You are not a gentleman, but a sentimental person who has tender feelings for the fairer sex? " The young man laughed and said, "You can't say that. Zhen Zhe indeed saw this girl's beauty, that's why I couldn't bear to see her get hurt. If the target of your diversion tactic was an old granny with wrinkled skin and white hair, I wouldn't be willing to fall into your trap. "Jiang Liechen said," You are actually honest. "
The young man laughed and said, "If I only spoke nice words and dressed myself up as a great hero who acted bravely for a just cause, but my real purpose was still a lecherous heart, then I would also be a hypocrite. Wouldn't you hate me?" With a cold laugh Jiang Liechen said, "If Zhen Zhe wasn't seriously injured, I wouldn't need to play tricks to deal with you easily."
The young man let out a hollow laugh and said, "Take it that I beg you, don't use your injuries to show off. The enemy wants to kill you, but not all of them are true gentlemen. Who cares if you are injured or not? Jiang Liechen said, "You've been in Jianghu for so many years, surely you won't come back and tell me that using numbers to bully the few is an unfair advantage?"
The young man smiled and said, "That's true. You didn't want others to know the whereabouts of the Seven Evils Treasure and were worried that I would reveal it, so you wanted to kill me to silence me. Wouldn't that prove that you were underestimating yourself? If your martial art skill and intelligence are really unrivalled in the world, no matter how many heroes and heroes try to seize treasures, in the end you will always come out on top. Am I right? "Jiang Liechen said," Be that as it may, I advise you not to talk too much outside. Even if I don't kill you, the other insiders who helped you might want to kill you. "
The young man laughed and said, "You are the dignified Hierarch of Jiang University, yet you are willing to lower your outlook to that of the common people?" Jiang Liechen did not say anything, but nobody knew what kind of angry expression he was hiding behind the pillar. Cheng Jiaxuan could not restrain his laughter, but when he came back to his senses, he quickly covered his mouth. The temple was empty, there was nowhere to hide, so he had no choice but to talk to the young man. "You … where are you going next?"
The young man said, "Me? Of course I am going to Hetuala to get the Death Demanding Chop. But don't worry, we will definitely meet again. I advise Hierarch Jiang to find the treasures as soon as possible. When I find them, we will settle this matter with martial arts, so that I won't have to go around collecting them. "Jiang Liechen let out a cold humph and said," Since that's the case, I wish you success. I will leave the 'Residual Shadow Sword' and the 'Death Demanding Chop' with you for now, I will definitely get them back in the future. "
The young man said, "The 'Residual Shadow Sword'?" His two fingers traced the blade inch by inch, and a cold light flashed, his own reflection was reflected on the surface of the sword. He laughed aloud and stabbed the sword into the ground about an inch deep, saying, "I took it from that girl's hands, she was just keeping it for you. This is slightly different, it can't be considered as me taking it by force. Today I will return the 'Residual Shadow Sword' to you, and in the future when you are 'not seriously injured', I will come and challenge you again, so that I can see your true strength, and then I will be able to become the Master of the Seven Evils. "
Jiang Liechen was also startled, he thought that the 'Residual Shadow Sword' would be lost this time, but he did not expect that the young man would be so generous as to keep the sword. He was naturally suspicious, he was always scheming against other people, so he always suspected that people with unclear intentions had bad intentions. The young man seemed to be able to read his mind, he laughed and said, "Don't worry, this does not mean that I am a gentleman, I am just following my heart, so I can say that I am a straightforward person."
What Jiang Liechen hated the most was people who thought that they understood him, yet still pretended to be serious. With a heavy voice he said, "Don't regret what you have done. And don't think that I will thank you. "The young man said," Do you think I am asking for your worthless' thank you '? "
Seeing the 'Residual Shadow Sword' was recovered, Cheng Jiaxuan's joy reached its peak, he did not care that the young man in front of him was the one who tried to snatch the sword, on the contrary, he was sincerely grateful. Moreover, it was rare for him to meet such a good-looking young man, he could not let the young man slip by empty-handed, without even knowing the young man's name and identity. He would miss this golden opportunity to make friends.
Thinking about how a noble young master would like a rich young lady, he imitated a well-bred young lady and bowed to the young man, saying, "This Young Master, we have met by chance, it can be considered fate. My humble daughter would be so bold as to ask for Young Master's name and surname, please do not hesitate to tell me. My humble daughter would like to thank you in advance." She had followed Shen Shiyun for several years, she had also learned the dignified appearance and posture of a woman.
The young man hesitated for a moment, then said, "My surname is Yuan, my given name is Yi. As for my identity … it is even more insignificant. "Cheng Jiaxuan acted like a spoiled child and said," Tell me, tell me. " Before Yuan Yi could answer, Jiang Liechen suddenly said, "Are you the Young Master of Yuan Cheng, the head of the four cities, Yuan Ping, Xia Liu?" Yuan Yi laughed dryly and said, "My humble name dares to disturb Hierarch Jiang's clear hearing; I should be proud of it." Jiang Liechen said, "There is no need to be so polite. If you had told me earlier that you were the descendant of Yuan Jie Da Xia, perhaps I would have been a bit more respectful to you. "
Yuan Yi said, "I am so useless that I have disgraced my ancestor's illustrious name. Moreover, if I really want to occupy a place in the hearts of the heroes of the world, I don't want to rely only on my ancestor's legacy, I want everybody to respect me, Yuan Yi. Besides, my ancestor, I am not trying to be modest, but he was indeed an extremely intelligent person. Since he was young, he stood out among his peers. No one in Yuan Cheng could compare to him. Later on, he married Xia City's Second Miss, and the two of them accomplished many great things in Jianghu. (For details, please refer to Bi Ling's work 'The Tribulation of Love'.) However, he is also similar to me, neither good nor evil. He acts to achieve his goal, often ruthless and merciless. In any case, he is not worthy of the title 'hero'. "
Jiang Liechen said, "Is it that rare? Could it be that only people of the righteous path can have a good reputation? That would be too pedantic. In a person's life, being straightforward and understanding is the best. Why should we be afraid of being praised or criticized by later generations? In this aspect, you are far inferior to your ancestor. "
Yuan Yi said, "Listening to Hierarch Jiang's tone, you seem to regret being born a few years later and not being able to meet my ancestor face to face. You have this kind of relationship with my Yuan Family; this is what I really didn't expect. "His words were full of self-satisfaction. Then he turned to Cheng Jiaxuan and said, "In martial arts, it is better to rely on your own ability to win. Otherwise, even if you have an unparalleled treasured sword, when you meet a true master, won't you be easily defeated? Hierarch Jiang, don't you agree? " Jiang Liechen humphed coldly and did not answer. He thought, "You are beating around the bush. Do you want me to admit that you are a true master?"
Yuan Yi knew when to stop; he cupped his fists and said with a smile, "Jiang Jiaozhu, Miss, I hope we'll meet again someday." He spread his sleeve and floated away; he really had some kind of celestial being floating in the air.
Cheng Jiaxuan stared at Yuan Yi's back for a while before pulling out his' Afterimage 'sword and running back to the beam. Jiang Liechen's long robe dragged on the ground, staining it with blood. Although on the surface he seemed to have the upper hand in the fight with Yuan Yi, in reality he had consumed a large amount of his internal energy. His injuries were showing signs of relapse. He leaned against the beam, slightly out of breath. Cheng Jiaxuan's heart was filled with regret. He blamed himself for only talking to Yuan Yi and not caring about him. He said, "You … are you okay? Are you okay? "
Jiang Liechen turned his gaze and cast a sidelong glance at her. Without saying anything, 'Slap! Slap!' he slapped her twice. He angrily said, "Slut, who allowed you to kill a chicken with a butcher's knife? If you really lose my 'Afterimage' sword, I will kill you immediately! "
Cheng Jiaxuan rubbed his swollen cheeks and said, "Those evil people … I … I can't beat them. And you also know that the reason I was able to defeat the leaders of the major sects was because of the 'Afterimage' sword. Otherwise … how could I have defeated them? I can't let them hurt you … "Jiang Liechen coldly humphed and said," How could those bastards hurt me? "
Cheng Jiaxuan thought, "Just now you personally ordered me to block them for you. Now that we are out of danger, you turn your back on me." His heart seemed to be rolling in a cloud of sorrow, but he forced a smile and said, "That's the best. I really care about you. I'd rather die … than hope that you'll be safe and sound, and live a peaceful and happy life."
Jiang Liechen coldly said, "You don't need to say these kind of words. Let me ask you, just now I used you as bait … you don't blame me? " Cheng Jiaxuan thought about the despair he felt a moment ago. His heart still had lingering fear, but he still shook his head and said softly, "Of course I don't blame you. My body, my life, they are all yours. Whenever you want them, you can take them. But I also know that you didn't mean to kill me. When the silk thread was in front of me, it was difficult to turn it away. It was only because your power was limited … "
Jiang Liechen angrily said, "Nonsense!" He raised his hand and slapped her again. He said, "What's so difficult about the silk thread changing its position at the last moment? You dare to underestimate my power? " Cheng Jiaxuan's face was hot, and her ears were buzzing. She was slapped several times, and her head was shaken. She didn't care about her own discomfort and hurriedly said, "I don't dare, I don't dare. In my eyes, you are the number one in the world …"
Jiang Liechen said, "But in your eyes, what's the use of that?" He raised his hand and pinched Cheng Jiaxuan's chin. He said, "Just as the original Young Master said, if he didn't save you, you would be a dead man now. Do you still blame me for what I said? " Cheng Jiaxuan said, "No matter how you treat me, I … I am sincere to you. I won't blame you." Jiang Liechen angrily said, "Liar! The whole world hates me, blames me, and wants to kill me at any time. You think you can make me believe you with a few lies? If anyone dares to deceive me … "
Cheng Jiaxuan said, "Young Master Yuan, he … he saved me. I'm not dead yet, I'm fine. You don't need to feel guilty anymore!" Jiang Liechen's eyes slightly narrowed, and a fierce light flashed in his eyes. As soon as Cheng Jiaxuan said those words, she knew her words were inappropriate. She hurriedly put on a fake smile and changed the topic. She said, "After all, the Residual Shadow Sword was not snatched by anyone. It was all thanks to Young Master Yuan's generosity. He … he is indeed a good person.
Jiang Yichen's interest was piqued. "Tell me more about this Sir Yuan," he said. "What does he look like? How does he dress?" Cheng Jiaxuan asked curiously. "Eh, don't you recognize him? But you also know that he is the Young Master of some Yuan city? "
