Before he could catch his breath, he suddenly heard a clamor of cries for help. This time it was even clearer, as if the sound was right next to his ear. If he listened carefully, it would be more accurate to say that it was coming from this inn. He was still sleeping on the couch. He turned over and pulled the quilt tightly, wanting to cover his ears with the pillow to block the miserable cries of dying struggle. No matter where he hid, he could not escape the conflict. He did not want to pay attention, but as the Wulin Alliance Leader, and a Jianghu hero who had always considered himself righteous, it was very difficult for him to watch someone die and not help.
After a moment of absent-mindedness, he suddenly heard a few surging sword auras. If it was not a master swordsman with profound attainment, he would not be able to release such swift and fierce sword auras. Now it seemed that even if he did not want to, he would not be able to avoid this muddy water. With a sigh, he pressed the sword at his waist, got off the bed, and pushed open the door to investigate.
The first floor of the inn was a wine and food business. Looking through the railing, he saw overturned tables and chairs everywhere. Wherever the sword aura passed, the tables would break into even smaller pieces. Inside the inn, there were many people lying paralyzed on the ground. It seemed that they were the inn's waiters. They were lying on the ground, wailing incessantly.
In the middle of the inn was a young man in ragged clothes. His hair was disheveled and covered his face. He was standing on top of a square table. The people around him could not get close to him, so they were swept away by his sword aura. Not only was the sound of the sword aura breaking through the air clearly audible, but the dense white light in the air could also be seen clearly with each strike.
Li Yijie was secretly shocked. "I have heard of the famous martial art masters in Jianghu, but when have I ever seen such a character? And why is he so young? "Several people hurriedly fled to the second floor to take refuge. When the inn owner saw Li Yijie, he bowed and begged, "Guest, please quickly go back to your room and hide. This kind of commotion is not good to see."
Li Yijie looked at his cowardly appearance and felt disdain in his heart. At the same time, he felt a sense of chivalry to protect the weak. He said, "Who is that kid? How did you provoke him? Don't worry, as long as there is injustice, I will intervene! Just tell me. "
The restaurant owner hastily said, "Shh, lower your voice … If this little god of plague hears you, it will be terrible." Then he lowered his voice and said, "That kid came to our restaurant to eat, order some dishes and wine. When we saw his tattered clothes, we thought he was a beggar trying to cheat us of food and drink. We wanted to kick him out. However, he insisted that he had money, and his attitude was very arrogant. Thinking about it, the customers were the breadwinners, so there was no reason to reject business. Therefore, we opened the door in good temper and followed his instructions, serving him wine and food. Who would have thought that after he had eaten and drunk to his heart's content, we went to ask him to pay for the meal. Suddenly, he looked surprised and said that his money pouch was still on him a moment ago, but now it was gone. It must have been stolen along the way. We've seen plenty of scoundrels like that, but if he won't pay, he can't set foot out of this shop. That kid suddenly became arrogant, he shouted, 'Your shop is a black shop, if my money pouch was not stolen from outside, then it must have been stolen by a thief in your shop. Xiao Ye did not ask you to pay for the meal, which is already extremely benevolent, yet you still dare to ask me to pay for the meal? 'Guest, you see, isn't he deliberately acting like a scoundrel? Naturally we did not buy it. That kid suddenly attacked. Nobody is a soft persimmon, we also asked several of our shop's workers to deal with him. Who would have thought that this kid's martial art was so strong that none of us were his match. Instead, we were all beaten black and blue. He also smashed my shop and scared the customers away … "
Although Li Yijie was dissatisfied with him for despising the poor and favoring the rich, he was even more indignant when he saw that young man was going to attack him over such a trivial matter. He shouted, "This kind of vicious and evil person, let me teach him a lesson!" Rushing toward the railing of the corridor, he was about to jump down. The shop owner anxiously pulled his sleeve and anxiously said, "Guest, you can't — you can't go!"
While the shop owner was trying to stop him, Li Yijie observed the young man's swordsmanship with rapt attention. He felt that his movements were quite familiar. He weighed a secret projectile in his hand twice and then shot it toward the young man. Not only did he want to prevent the young man from killing people, but at the same time he wanted to avoid hitting his vital points, he had to control the direction and strength of his attack perfectly.
The young man did not even turn his head, he only used his hearing to hear the sound of the secret projectile. He waved his sword backward, the sword energy he shot out swept the secret projectile and unexpectedly the projectile was bounced back. At the same time he jumped down from the table and aimed at the direction of the secret projectile, intending to teach the person who dared to interfere with him a lesson.
As he turned his head, the hair covering his face automatically slid to the side, revealing his handsome and delicate face. Seeing Li Yijie standing on the second floor, he was slightly startled. Li Yijie looked at him and was even more startled. After a long time he tried to call out, "Xuan Shuang? … It's you? "
After this soul-stirring meeting ended, the next scene was Li Yijie and the Xuan Shuang sitting in a private room on the second floor, drinking and exchanging wine. After recognizing that the young man was the Xuan Shuang, Li Yijie promised the shop owner that he would pay for all the expenses incurred by the Xuan Shuang, including compensating for the broken tables and chairs and paying for the seriously injured workers to treat their illnesses. The shop owner repeatedly expressed his thanks, but when he thought about how Li Yijie was acquainted with such a vicious person, he realized that they were in the same line of work. His impression of Li Yijie took a turn for the worse.
Li Yijie looked at the destitute and despondent Xuan Shuang in front of him. He saw that Xuan Shuang did not say anything and only drank cup after cup of wine. Finally, when Xuan Shuang picked up the wine pot again, Li Yijie took a step forward and pressed down on his wine cup. He said, "Are you going to pretend to be deaf and mute? I invited you to drink wine and eat meat. In return, shouldn't you at least tell me what actually happened? How can you be so willful and have such a big conflict with the shopkeeper of a small shop? "
The Xuan Shuang snorted and said, "Do I care? Who told you to invite me? It's not like I can't beat them, and I don't need you to help me out. Who told you to be so chivalrous? You don't need to meddle in other people's business. Look at the shopkeeper's expression of gratitude, but his face is full of disdain. He must be thinking that you and I are jackals of the same tribe, so he's cursing you as well. You're a good person doing a good deed, but he doesn't appreciate your kindness. Isn't that strenuous and thankless? "
Li Yijie said, "You don't need to worry about that. Let's talk about you first. How did you end up in such a sorry state? With your current martial arts skills, there shouldn't be many pickpockets who can steal your money pouch, right? "
The Xuan Shuang suddenly burst into laughter. He took out a money pouch from his clothes and threw it on the table. He said, "Who said I don't have money? It's just that I don't want to pay those bullies. You don't really think that I'm in such dire straits that I can't even afford to eat a meal, do you? However, I don't want to owe you a favor. You can take whatever you want. But if you want to be a good person, don't think about asking me to reimburse you for the extra money you gave them. I don't want to be a sucker for you. "
Li Yijie glanced at the money pouch and pushed it back to the Xuan Shuang. He said, "I don't understand. Since you have money, why do you want to get entangled with them? Isn't it good to make a scene out of nothing? Why don't you just give it to them? Paying for a meal is a matter of course. We don't know each other, and it's not like they're targeting you. Besides, even if we're talking about bullying, it's not their turn to use 'power', right? "
The Xuan Shuang snorted coldly and said, "What do you know? It doesn't matter if this money pouch was really stolen or if I intentionally reneged on the debt. Their attitude towards me and the way they deal with me won't change in the slightest. In Jianghu, how many times have you seen this kind of thing? It was to prove this point that I played a joke on him. I deliberately changed into ragged clothes to give them a preconceived notion. Then I observed their expressions. When you have money, they'll treat you like you're a lord. But when you don't have money, you're like dog shit in a muddy pond on the side of the road. Everyone can humiliate you. Just like these beasts who only care about money, I must teach them a lesson today so that in the future they won't dare to look down on poor people who can't afford to pay! But then again, wearing this set of clothes really made him feel uncomfortable all over. Now that I've met you, there's no need for me to hide my tracks. Tomorrow I'll go to the city and look for some good clothes to change into. "
Li Yijie recalled the shopkeeper's obvious disdain for the poor when he told him about it. He couldn't help but admit that the shopkeeper's words were true. Fortunately, although he was heavy-handed, he still left some leeway. He didn't kill anyone. His former disciple had excellent martial arts. No matter who taught him, as a master, he was always happy. He smiled bitterly and said, "This lesson of yours is really ruthless enough. Don't scare them into thinking that those who can't afford to pay are all experts like you. I'm afraid that the next time they see a beggar, they'll really worship him and serve him as a guest of honor. "
Xuan Shuang couldn't stop laughing and said, "Excellent! Excellent! This young master is really a blessing to others! "Li Yijie smiled and said," But being the boss of a group of vagrants isn't very impressive. "
Xuan Shuang sighed and suddenly put on a respectful expression and said, "Alliance Master Li, please take me in, okay? Let me join your Martial Union, okay? I promise that I won't cause trouble for you, and I won't be a burden! " Li Yijie couldn't help but laugh and said, "Look at you. Let me guess, did you get into trouble with the Emperor again? Such a big child, you really can't stop worrying. When we return to the palace, I'll help you plead a few words with him. "
Xuan Shuang suddenly became angry. He slammed the table and stood up, saying, "Do you think I'm taking it as a joke and saying it casually? Damn it! I'm clearly discussing it with you seriously. Why do you take it as a joke and brush me off? Am I a natural joke in your eyes? Or an idiot who's lost his way? F * ck your mother, what did I do wrong to make you treat me like this? What do you mean by pleading a few words with me? Do you think you have a lot of face? Or do you think people will give you a lot of face? You're nothing, yet you still think you're virtuous and virtuous. You're simply a clown! I'm telling you clearly, I don't need to return to the palace anymore. No one needs to help me and send me back out of kindness. Do you understand? Hmph … Who cares! If I don't want to go back, then I won't. I'm free! What's so great about it? "
Li Yijie didn't think too deeply about it because he didn't understand the situation. He thought that he had quarreled with Shunzhi again. It was very normal for a child to throw a tantrum with his elders. He reckoned that he was thinking about the last time he slipped out of the palace for a year. The Emperor sent someone to bring him back, and the Emperor's attitude towards him immediately changed. Seeing that this plan was effective, he tried to use the same trick again. However, if he wanted to throw a tantrum, he couldn't keep using the same trick.
He didn't take it seriously at all. He thought that since he was going back to the capital, he might as well bring him along and persuade him to calm down before bringing him back to the palace. After thinking for a while, he smiled and said, "You said that you wouldn't cause trouble for me. Now you're throwing a tantrum for no reason. Since you want to join Martial Union, you should acknowledge me as the Union Master and respect me. This is the basic rule. As the saying goes, without rules, nothing can be accomplished. Which guild would dare to take you in if you scold them like this? "
