The old woman, who had an inexplicable relationship with Xu, was already seriously injured. Then, she forcefully opened her acupoints, which worsened her injuries. Later, she was hit by Yangliuqing's Imperial Uncle, the white-haired old man, who was also a guru. Coupled with her emotional fluctuations, her body was almost at the end of its tether …
Fortunately, both Ruyi and Xu had preserved their peak strength. The two gurus worked together to stabilize her injuries. She was still in a coma at the moment, but her life was no longer in danger.
As for Yangliuqing's Imperial Uncle, the white-haired old man named "Yang Wanli", after giving advice to Ruyi, he looked even more disheveled. He came out after changing his clothes and said something to Yangliuqing.
Everyone who became a guru had their own martial arts. They would have different understandings after learning from different gurus.
Ruyi seemed to have realized something again and hurried back to her room for closed-door training.
In the past few years, not only had Li Yi made rapid progress, but Ruyi had also been busy fighting for territory everywhere, but she had never neglected her practice. Unfortunately, she had not broken through that layer of window paper.
"Apart from Miss Ruyi, your second daughter's aptitude is the best I've seen in my life." Xu's eyes were full of praise. He said, "Although she has not reached the guru level, a guru may not be able to do anything to her. Once she encounters her own opportunity and breaks through to the guru level, even I dare not say that I can defeat her easily …"
Opportunity was an illusory thing. You might encounter it tomorrow, or you might never encounter it again. It was as good as not saying anything.
However, to be able to make Elder Xu say that he didn't dare to say that he could defeat her easily, that was really impressive. One had to know that the Taoist nun was also a Guru. In Elder Xu's eyes, she was the kind of person who could be easily beaten up and taught a lesson.
Li Yi thought for a moment and asked, "What about MIngzhu's aptitude?"
"She has excellent aptitude, but her heart is tired." Xu shook his head and said, "If this goes on, my martial arts will not improve, and I won't have any hope of becoming a grandmaster in this life."
Li Yi's heart ached. MIngzhu's dedication to martial arts was not inferior to Ruyi's. One of her biggest wishes was to become a grandmaster one day.
But Li Xuan, that bastard, had handed over such a big country to her to manage. How could she have the time to practice hard?
However, there were also benefits to this. He was now able to fight evenly with Bai Su, who was ranked fifth on the Heavenly List. If he took a step forward and MIngzhu took a step back, it would be equivalent to MIngzhu taking two steps back. After a while, when he returned to the capital city, wouldn't he be able to turn over a new leaf?
It was not easy to become a Grandmaster. It was not something that could be achieved through hard work.
He now understood that sometimes, chicken soup for the soul did not work.
Those who could become Grandmasters were people with excellent aptitude. This fact was actually very cruel. Some people were born to be Grandmasters. Even a sloppy person like Xu had amazing aptitude. Some people, no matter how hard they practiced, had limited aptitude and could only stop below the Grandmaster level.
Li Yi looked at Xu with some expectation and asked, "What about my aptitude?"
"You?" Xu looked at him and twitched the corner of his mouth, "Hehe …"
Hehe: It was used to express mockery, disdain, perfunctory, end of chat, and awkward silence.
Li Yi knew that compared to MIngzhu, Ruyi, and and Ruyi, he was indeed not a person with amazing aptitude. But he did not have to make this expression of a toad wanting to eat swan meat.
Li Yi was silent for a moment, then suddenly looked up at him and asked, "Xu and Senior Tian, what on earth is going on?"
Who wouldn't hurt each other? You stab me, I stab you, back and forth, fair and just.
Senior Tian was that old woman who was a Grandmaster.
This time it was Xu's turn to be silent.
He was silent for a moment and was about to speak when Li Yi reached out his hand and said, "Don't say it first. Let me guess."
The story of the two of them was actually not difficult to guess. Based on Old Xu's obsession with martial arts, the words that the old woman shouted on the street, and his expression of love, hate, resentment, and joy when he looked at Old Xu, if he was so stupid that he couldn't even guess this story, how did he get Ruyi, Zuimo, and Ruoqing?
"Why don't I tell you a story first …" Li Yi thought for a moment and said, "Once upon a time, there was a woman in Jianghu who vowed to become a Grandmaster. When she carried a sword and rode a horse, she decided to march on the road of a Grandmaster without stopping. Suddenly, a man appeared and hugged her tightly, telling her that he wanted to spend the rest of his life with her, see all the romance in the world, and taste all the warmth and coldness of the human world …"
Old Xu buried his head even deeper, letting Li Yi know that his train of thought was correct.
"The woman was very happy when she heard these words. She broke her sword and let go of the horse, wanting to spend the rest of her life with him, see all the romance in the world, and taste all the warmth and coldness of the human world … But when she looked back, he was gone." Li Yi looked at him and said, "This is the story of a heartless man abandoning an infatuated woman. Are you that heartless man?"
"I let her down …" Elder Xu sighed, then shook his head and said, "But there's one thing you're wrong about."
"What is it?"
"She is not a woman in Jianghu …" When he said this, there was a rare gentle smile on his face, and he murmured, "She is a young lady from a rich family. She doesn't know martial arts, but she is well-read, good at singing and dancing, and good at playing the zither. At that time, when I was practicing, she would always play the zither for me …"
"Wait, wait …" Now was not the time to eat dog food. Li Yi couldn't help but interrupt him and asked, "You said she doesn't know martial arts?"
If he wanted to refute him, there was no need to find such a flawed excuse. If a grandmaster didn't know martial arts, then what were they?
Xu shook his head and said, "At that time, she really didn't know martial arts."
Logically speaking, when she was a teenager, she didn't learn martial arts. If she didn't know a cheating martial art like the Turtle Breathing Skill, there was not much hope for her to become a grandmaster in this life …
But that old woman should have been a grandmaster for a long time.
In such a short period of time, she turned something rotten into something magical. Li Yi felt that he might have found a shortcut to becoming a grandmaster. With a face full of expectation, he asked, "Then how did she become a grandmaster?"
"Because she has a good aptitude." Xu looked at him and said with a face full of disdain, "Her aptitude is far better than mine, thousands of times better than yours …"
Li Yi felt like he had been hit by another arrow in his chest.
The older the ginger, the wiser the fox. After going around in circles, he was still asking to be humiliated.
However, when he looked up, he found that Xu's face did not look proud at all. Instead, he looked a little pained.
Li Yi sighed and asked, "Do you regret it?"
"I don't regret pursuing martial arts. I regret betraying her."
Li Yi thought for a moment and asked again, "If you regret it, why don't you go to her? Why did you leave the Wu Kingdom? "
"Because she has a good aptitude."
A few black lines appeared on Li Yi's forehead. It was enough to hurt his heart once or twice. Was there an end to it?
Xu looked ahead and said, "Back then, I made a bet with someone. Whoever became a grandmaster first would be the winner. For the sake of my reputation, I left her and cultivated in seclusion …"
Li Yi still didn't understand and asked, "What does this have to do with you leaving the Wu Kingdom and not going to her?"
"As I said, she has a good aptitude." Looking ahead, Xu looked a little frustrated and said, "After I left, she began to practice martial arts. Before I broke through to the grandmaster level, she had already broken through …"
"…" Li Yi was stunned, and then his expression became strange. This might be the saddest story he had heard this year.
Xu continued.
"After she became a grandmaster, she began to hunt me all over the Wu Kingdom …
"I had no choice but to leave the Wu Kingdom …
"Later, I didn't dare to go back to the Wu Kingdom, even after I became a grandmaster. Before I became a grandmaster, I was no match for her. After I became a grandmaster, I was still no match for her …
"All these years, I've been desperately practicing martial arts and improving myself, just so that one day, I could come back aboveboard …
"But I didn't know that after she broke through, she couldn't let go of the knot in her heart. Over the past decades, her martial arts didn't improve, but regressed …"
…
Li Yi was right. Xu was indeed a man with a story.
The story was full of twists and turns, with many twists and turns. It was unexpected but reasonable, and it could be called the first tragic drama of the year.
Thinking of the most important thing in this story, Li Yi looked at him and asked, "What about the person who made a bet with you that year? Has he become a grandmaster?"
Xu looked to the other side, where the white-haired old man was talking to Yangliuqing.
Looking at his white hair, Li Yi then thought of the old man's desperate practice in the past few years. It was not difficult to imagine how much he had suffered in the past decades. Then he thought of the old woman who was still in a coma …
"What a sin …"
He sighed, patted Xu on the shoulder, pointed to the white-haired old man, and said, "If I were you, I would drag him out and bury him alive."
