An Yesun said, "That's right! You've finally hit the nail on the head! In martial arts training, everybody makes progress every day! Since that's the case, if I make progress, don't tell me you won't? When the time comes, everything will still be the same as before; I'll never be your match! Now I just want to ask you, I've told you time and time again, don't give in during the competition! Why won't you? Do you think I won't be able to resist if you use all your strength? That I'll be beaten to death by you? You've treated me casually, like a master instructing a disciple. You've never really treated me as … an opponent who can run neck and neck with you! Why? Am I really that weak? "
Jiang Liechen said, "Victory and defeat are common in a military battle, why should you brood over it? If you're determined to lose before the competition and feel that you'll never be my match, then there's no need to compete, you've already lost. "An Yesun angrily said," Who said I'm wholeheartedly seeking to lose? I want to win, naturally I want to win! But you … even the Hierarch said that you're a rarely seen martial arts genius. Your achievements are practically unsurpassable like a legend. We're just ordinary people, we can only look up to you, but we can't reach you … "
Jiang Liechen said, "No need to flatter me. Everybody is the same, there's no such thing as being born with exceptional talent or having exquisite bones. Practicing martial arts is not enough to rely on brute force alone. People look up to a tall mountain and stop to look, only because you can't see the whole picture, not because it's truly lofty and imposing. Just like you think my move is very strange. In fact, it's all about skill; it's only about anticipating the enemy's move first, catching the enemy off guard, attacking the enemy without any choice but to save him. If you want to learn, I'll teach you. "
An Yesun pondered for a moment. Although he didn't want to lose face, in the end he couldn't bear the resentment of being inferior to others, so he agreed. Jiang Liechen kept his promise. Afterwards he taught him very seriously, explaining in detail every sentence of the heart sutra, every minute change in the move. The rest would depend on his comprehension ability.
Dark Night Yun, on the other hand, seemed to have learned something. After several days, he finally said, "I already know how to do it. We'll compete again tomorrow. " However, in the next match, because of the attachment in his heart, he kept thinking about this move, causing his strength to decrease greatly. He couldn't even keep up with the moves he had used last time. Finally, with great difficulty, he found an opportunity. He turned his body, crossed his arms, and pointed a finger at Jiang Liechen's throat.
Jiang Liechen's martial art training was irregular, but before the opponent made his move, he was able to see through the opponent's intention and thus took precautions. This move was not unbreakable. In his opinion, there were at least seven or eight moves that were sufficient to deal with it. But seeing An Yesun's complacent expression, he did not want to provoke him again. Therefore, he did not fight back and said indifferently, "I lost."
When exalted mortals of Jianghu spar, once their vitals were suppressed, they should immediately stop and beg for mercy. In addition, in order to prevent accidental injuries, they often stood still until the other party stopped attacking. However, these two people had been training each other for a long time, so they had developed a tacit understanding between them. Not a single detail could be concealed.
An Yesun's finger trembled. Suddenly he laughed coldly and said, "With your skill, how could you not dodge this level of attack? You clearly have a lot of moves to use. Even I can see with my own eyes that there are hundreds of openings … ha ha, ha ha ha ha! "After laughing for a while, he continued," But why did you admit defeat? You didn't lose, and I didn't win either. Because you intentionally let me win. This kind of victory is like charity. It's an insult to me. I don't want it! "Finished speaking, he threw his fan away and angrily walked away.
Jiang Liechen recalled the events of the past and was lost in thought. Xuan Shuang waited for a long time. Seeing no reaction from him, he curiously withdrew his finger and waved his hand back and forth in front of his eyes. He called out, "Hey, hey! What's wrong? Don't scare me! "
Only then did Jiang Liechen come back to his senses. He thought about the close friendship he had with An Yesun in the past. Now that he thought about it, everything had changed. He was moved and only felt heartache. He said in a low voice, "It's nothing. It's just that I was the one who taught him this move. " He thought about how An Yesun could still remember the move he had taught him even after falling out with him. Perhaps he did hold some weight in his heart and still regarded him as a brother. For a moment, he didn't know whether to be happy or sad.
Xuan Shuang saw that his expression was truly sad. He looked like a porcelain doll that would break with a touch. Ever since he had known him, he had only seen his ruthless and cruel side. He had never thought that such an expression would appear on his face. At this moment, he suddenly felt compassion for him. He couldn't bear to tease him anymore.
Jiang Liechen waited for a long time. He seemed to have some things to say that were difficult to say, but he also didn't want to hold them back. Xuan Shuang waited patiently. Finally, Jiang Liechen came back to his senses. He said, "I'm very grateful that you were willing to take care of him in the palace. Let me ask you one more time. Did he … ever mention me? Even if it was just once? Or even if it was just a scolding? "When he said this, his gaze was gentle and his tone was also extremely gentle. With this expression, no one would have thought that he was a cold-blooded demon.
When Xuan Shuang thought about this, he was immediately energized. Back then, he hadn't been able to stop Shen Shiyun's evil deeds in time. After thinking about it, he had always felt regretful. He took this opportunity to make up for it a little. He replied, "He did! He told me that he had already thought it through. Your love for Miss Chu is no less than his own. He understood what kind of person you are. You definitely wouldn't set a trap to harm Miss Chu just because she fell in love with someone else. This was nothing more than that woman's plan to drive a wedge between us. At that time, he was muddle-headed and actually believed it. He still treats you as a friend. You and I are also his only friends. He said that he was very happy to have met both of us. It's just that it's impossible for us to resume our previous intimate relationship. Probably in the future, he'll spend the rest of his life alone and won't have any more contact with you. That's all. The most hateful thing is, the tree wants to be quiet, but the wind won't stop. That woman won't give up until she instigates the two of you to become enemies. She intentionally used Miss Chu's death to make a big fuss. What she said could only be called preposterous. She actually said that your love turned into hatred and you killed her. Shao Shuai Yun had been lonely for half his life. Miss Chu was his everything. As soon as he heard this, he immediately lost all reason. Later on, he risked his life to kill you in the Devil Cult because of this. Sigh, his anger is justified, but why are you angry? If you were willing to explain to him and clear up the misunderstanding, perhaps he wouldn't have died with a grudge. "
Jiang Liechen's expression was as sorrowful as death. He laughed coldly in a low voice, "Is that so? Turns out he doesn't blame me … "His five fingers slowly tightened. Several more cracks appeared on the cup. Xuan Shuang leaned forward and asked in a low voice, "Do you … regret it?"
Jiang Liechen's expression turned solemn. He said hatefully, "I don't want to kill him, but I definitely won't regret what I've done! Rather than letting him live to be manipulated by Shen Shiyun and become a chess piece specially arranged to kill me, I'd rather let him die. He's always been a proud person. Other than Menglin, he values his reputation more than anything else. I don't want to see him remain in this world as a walking corpse, completely losing his former prestige. I think that if he still has a conscience in his heart, he definitely won't be willing. "
Xuan Shuang muttered, "That's not unreasonable. After Miss Chu's death, he's already 'dead even if he's alive'. The rest of his life will be endless suffering for him. "
Jiang Liechen said, "That's right. I want him to live as my brother, not as a slave to his enemies. Therefore, by killing him, I'll be fulfilling his wish. But I'm not willing! If it weren't for that adulterous pair forcing me, how could we have fallen into this situation? Sooner or later, I'll kill those two, cut off their heads and offer them to my fallen brother's grave as a sacrifice. "As he spoke, his heart was filled with anger. 'Pa!' He crushed his wine cup again. This time, it was far more intense than the previous time.
Xuan Shuang laughed dryly. He raised his hands and pressed them down. He laughed dryly and said, "Calm down, calm down!" He took out a small piece of silver from his pocket and placed it on the table. He said with a smile, "Drinking with you is the most expensive. I won't dare to do it again."
Jiang Liechen said, "That won't do! You're my disciple now. You can't disobey your master's orders. I feel very happy talking with you. Later on … if I want to drink with you, you'll have to accompany me. " With a bitter laugh Xuan Shuang said, "According to what you said, I don't look like the disciple of the world's Supreme Being Daren, but more like a servant who specializes in drinking with others. My social status has fallen into a complete mess." Jiang Liechen said, "Who said you specialize in drinking with others? Remember, you can only accompany me to drink. Other than that, even if it's a banquet in the Imperial Palace, you don't have to pay attention to it. "
Xuan Shuang laughed bitterly twice; he did not know how to respond. Thereupon he continued with his previous words, "Therefore, the only people you care about are Shao Shuai Yun and Miss Chu. Whether other people are good or bad, they have nothing to do with you? "Jiang Liechen said," You can say that. However, I am an inauspicious person. Anybody who has anything to do with me will either die or be injured. Shen Shiyun once threatened to make me lose all my important people. She won. But I still have to thank her for completely wiping out my weakness. "
Xuan Shuang sighed and said, "Your words are more beautiful than anybody else's. Why bother? If you are sad, you are sad! Everybody has joy, anger, sorrow and joy. Can't you just say it out loud? Other people can also share your burden. "
"Humph," Jiang Liechen snorted. He dragged two pieces of silver from the table and weighed them lightly in his hand. With a cold laugh he said, "I am not sad. These two rotten wine cups are not worth that much money. Who dares to ask me for payment … "
Xuan Shuang laughed dryly and said, "All right, you are going to kill people again. Disciple has given a lot of thought, I just don't want you to commit more crimes. Good and evil will be repaid. When the time comes, even if that woman's evil deeds are not counted, you still won't be able to protect the things you cherish. Ay, of course these two wine cups are not worth that much money. I just want to use this as an excuse to give the innkeeper a little bit of charity. This shabby wine shop is poor enough. If I give him a little bit of money, it will be enough for him to eat a lot of fish and meat for several days. Besides, whoever bumped into a guest like you has eighteen lifetimes of bad luck. If I don't compensate him a little bit, how can I live with myself? "
Jiang Liechen said, "For me to be willing to patronize this place, it can be considered that his great ancestor is burning incense and praying to Buddha." Xuan Shuang said, "That's why I say, even the deities in the heavens cannot be completely trusted. How do you know who you are praying to? Who knows, maybe you will be lucky enough to meet a god of plague. "He pushed the wine jar on the table, but there was a hollow echo from the jar. Turned out, while the two of them were pouring wine back and forth, the jar of fine wine had already been emptied.
Xuan Shuang sighed and said, "Ah? I never knew that drinking wine could be so enjoyable. Hey, innkeeper? How about another jar? " But when he turned around, not only was the waiter nowhere to be found, even the innkeeper was gone. He could not help but sigh and said, "You don't want to do business that was delivered to your door. No wonder this shop is always so poor."
Jiang Liechen said, "There's plenty of good wine at the counter. You can just go and get another jar. "Xuan Shuang laughed and said," About that, taking without saying anything is called stealing. This is immoral. As a good child, I won't do it. "
Jiang Liechen humphed coldly and said, "No need to put on an act. Which high ranking official of the imperial court doesn't take advantage of their position to fill their own pockets? I don't know how much of the national treasury's money has been emptied, but all of it has gone into their own pockets. It's perfect for them to indulge in wine and women, wantonly enjoying themselves. You descendants of the imperial family are all impressive on the surface, but who would have thought that you're all rotten on the inside? You don't have much upbringing. "
Xuan Shuang immediately retorted, saying, "No matter how much other people are greedy, I won't be greedy. That's all. Nowadays, people enjoy blessings together, and avoid trouble as far away as possible. The day he is robbed of all his wealth, he won't have any friends left. I don't want to be too ruthless, but I also don't want a debt collector to drag me down all the time. That's why from the beginning, I won't even share their glory. If I don't help when the time comes, my conscience will still be able to justify it. "
