"I'll fight with you."
Taoist Nun had just crushed the 11th ranked expert on the Heaven Leaderboard. The words "I'll fight with you" were particularly abrupt in the silent crowd.
Everyone looked in the direction of the voice with shock and confusion. Then, they immediately felt relieved. Aside from Heroine Liu, who else would have the guts to stand up at this time?
Some excitement appeared on their faces. They did not expect to see a fight of this level today. This trip was not in vain!
The middle-aged Taoist nun stopped in her tracks and looked at the young woman who was walking toward her. She said calmly, "You're no match for me. Once you step onto this stage, your life will be in your hands."
When she spoke, there was no fluctuation in her tone at all. It was as if she was talking about something that could not be more normal.
"We'll know after we fight," Miss.Liu said coldly and walked straight onto the stage.
"Can Ruyi win?" Li Yi turned around and asked Ruyi.
He always felt that the Taoist nun's calmness was a little scary. Just now, the 11th ranked expert did not last long before he vomited blood. For the first time, he did not have enough confidence in Miss.Liu.
"No." Ruyi shook her head. Her gaze was fixed on Taoist Nun.
Li Yi did not expect her to answer so straightforwardly. He was stunned for a moment before he walked straight onto the stage.
A man on the stage was about to announce the start of the fight when he suddenly saw someone walking up. He was about to chase them away, but he shut his mouth before he could open it.
As a staff member of the theater, there was no reason for him not to know the big boss.
Li Yi glanced at Miss.Liu and walked to the front of the stage. He said, "Today's fight will end here. Everyone, please come early tomorrow."
Everyone was looking forward to an exciting fight between experts. They were already so excited that they could not control themselves. However, they were told to call it a day at the most crucial moment and go home to do their own things. It was as if they had already done enough foreplay. At the crucial moment, they were told that their period had arrived. What kind of mood would that be?
In short, it was not a good mood.
"Why?"
"It's still early today!"
"Tomorrow my ass. We'll talk about it after this fight!"
…
…
Li Yi glanced at Miss.Liu, then turned to the Taoist Nun and said, "Taoist priest, I'm sorry. Today's competition is over. Besides, the rule here is that no one is allowed to hurt anyone. When you leave, please pay for the medical expenses of the chivalrous man just now. Thank you for your cooperation."
Taoist Nun only glanced at Li Yi before turning her attention back to Miss.Liu.
Right at this moment, a ferocious-looking man in a coarse shirt jumped onto the platform and said angrily, "What bullsh * t 'early tomorrow' are you talking about? I've paid for it. Don't you think I won't tear down your shitty brothel!"
"What's your name?" Li Yi looked at him and asked.
The man snorted coldly and said, "What? You want revenge? Listen up, your grandfather is Qingzhou's Cui Tong. Rank 42 on the Heaven List is your grandfather! "
Li Yi nodded and said, "From now on, Cui Tong will be removed from the Heaven List and added to the Black List. He will never be on the Experts List."
The audience was confused by Li Yi's words. The Experts List was a list recognized by the entire martial arts world. How could it be changed just because of his words?
Cui Tong was also stunned for a moment. Then, he laughed wildly and said, "Who do you think you are? How can you remove your name just like that? Is this brothel owned by your family?"
"You're right. This brothel is indeed owned by his family …" A middle-aged man walked up and said calmly.
"Mr. Lu!" Everyone exclaimed when they saw the middle-aged man.
This Mister Lu's real name was Lu Luo. He had outstanding strength and intelligence, but no one knew why he was working in the brothel. At this moment, he stood out and said something that caused everyone to be extremely surprised.
The owner of the brothel was such a young man?
The most embarrassed person was Cui Tong. Lu Luo's words were like a slap to his face. His face turned green and white, but he couldn't do anything. Although Lu Luo had just recovered from his serious injuries and was nothing to be afraid of, there were countless examples before. This was not a place where he, who was ranked 42 on the Heaven List, could behave atrociously.
He wanted to provoke the crowd, but he didn't expect the young man to be the owner of the brothel. He could only jump off the ring at this moment. He didn't have the face to stay there any longer, so he quickly left.
"Go down," Li Yi said to Miss.Liu.
He would only fight if he could win. If he couldn't win, then he would be a fool. Didn't he hear how the Taoist Nun said that life and death were up to fate? If he was injured, she wouldn't even pay for the medical expenses.
"Don't worry about it," Miss.Liu looked at him and said.
"I said, go down," Li Yi said again, looking at her seriously.
He could usually tolerate her arrogance and mischief, but this time, it was a matter of life and death. Even Ruyi said that she was no match for this Taoist nun, so why did she have to go up and die?
No matter how good her reasons were, this time, she couldn't.
Miss.Liu frowned. She was about to say something, but when she saw Li Yi's expression, her heart tightened for no reason, and she swallowed the words she wanted to say.
She looked at the Taoist Nun and felt the pressure coming from her body. Only by experiencing the feeling of life and death would she have a chance to touch the threshold. She didn't want to give up, so she grabbed Li Yi's shoulder and threw him out of the ring. She slowly pulled out her sword, pointed at the Taoist Nun, and said, "Make your move!"
Miss.Liu didn't use much strength. With Li Yi's current skills, he only took a few steps back, and he didn't look very embarrassed.
However, when he looked up at the ring, his face became gloomy, which was rare.
Ruyi walked over, held his hand, and said, "Don't worry, husband. I'll bring her back."
The mood of the people below the ring began to stir again, and they looked up without blinking.
"Autumn Water?" When she looked at the sword in Miss.Liu's hand seriously for the first time, the calm expression of the Taoist Nun finally disappeared, and a trace of emotion appeared on her face.
After thinking for a moment, she looked at Miss.Liu and asked, "Who is Liu Qing to you?"
Hearing this name, the expression on Miss.Liu's face froze.
"My father passed away a long time ago." Ruyi slowly walked over, walked to Miss.Liu's side, and said, "Go down, you're no match for this Taoist priest, and you won't have the chance to learn anything."
"No wonder …" the middle-aged Taoist nun looked at Ruyi with a strange gaze, then mumbled, turned around, and walked down the ring.
When she was about to walk down the ring, she turned back to look at Miss.Liu, and said, "You're not bad. If you have the chance to break through that realm in the future, come find me again."
The middle-aged Taoist nun's figure quickly disappeared in front of the crowd, leaving them looking at each other in confusion.
What was Autumn Water? Who was Liu Qing? What did they say about the realm of chance? What were they talking about just now? Would it kill them to not speak in riddles?
They didn't get to see the battle between the peerless masters that they were looking forward to, and the protagonist left after leaving a sentence. How disappointing!
The person in charge of updating the list of masters was also troubled. Taoist Nun was obviously a master among masters, and she probably had the strength of the top five or even top three in the Heaven List, but she didn't even leave her name, so how should the list be written? Nameless Taoist nun?
In "The Return of the Condor Heroes" that was popular in Wulin recently, there seemed to be such a powerful character in the opening chapter. She was also a middle-aged Taoist nun, and also held a horsetail whisk in her hand. If it wasn't for the fact that her appearance was not as beautiful as Li Mochou as described by the storytellers, it would be quite appropriate to give her the title of Scarlet Serpent Fairy.
"Let's go."
Ruyi led Miss.Liu down the ring, and the man immediately announced on the ring that today's competition had ended. The crowd could only sigh helplessly and leave.
"Where's the son-in-law?" Xiao Huan suddenly looked around and cried out in surprise.
"He was here just now." Yangliuqing also said doubtfully.
Ruyi looked at Miss.Liu and said, "Let's go back, maybe he went back alone."
"Oh …" Xiao Huan responded in a low voice, thinking that the son-in-law didn't want Second Miss to compete with that powerful Taoist nun, and Second Miss didn't listen to him, so the son-in-law must be angry. Between the son-in-law and Second Miss, whose side should she stand on?
However, deep in her heart, she didn't want anything to happen to Second Miss …
On the way back, the four of them tacitly maintained their silence, but inside, their thoughts were completely different …
…
…
On the way back home, the anger in Li Yi's heart had not dissipated.
Even though he knew that Miss.Liu's personality was like that, knowing that she couldn't do it, but this time was different from the past. What was more important than her life?
Martial arts, or fame?
These were all bullsh * t!
In Li Yi's view, as long as she could live without illness or disaster, it was more important than anything else.
Even if doing so would make her dissatisfied or even hate him, he wouldn't change his mind.
As he thought about these things, he suddenly stopped in his tracks at a certain moment.
He looked back and saw a figure standing there, looking at him with a sneer.
"You ruined my reputation, and you want to leave just like that?" Cui Tong crossed his arms, leaned against a tree, and looked at the young man in front of him mockingly.
With one sentence, he was removed from the Heaven List, and even added to the hated Black List in the martial arts world. He was ridiculed by all martial artists. If he didn't take revenge, the resentment in his heart would never be appeased.
Originally, if the young man was with Liu Ruyi, he would naturally avoid the sharp edge and attack later. However, he didn't expect that the young man would swagger in front of him. Could it be that God had arranged this for him?
Li Yi looked around. This was a deserted area between the prefecture city and the brothel.
"What do you want?" Li Yi looked at him expressionlessly.
"Don't worry, I naturally don't dare to kill you, but I'm afraid breaking your two arms and one leg won't be difficult." The smile on Cui Tong's face was very bright as he slowly walked over. He was not worried that Li Yi would run away. The two of them were so close, where could he run to?
"If that's the case, then I'll break your two arms and one leg."
A faint voice sounded from behind Cui Tong. He didn't even have the time to turn around and dodge. There were a few whooshing sounds in the air, and two bloody holes appeared on both of Cui Tong's arms. At the same time, his left leg bent, and his whole body fell to the ground.
Looking at the middle-aged Taoist nun who was walking over, a terrified expression appeared on his face. Trembling, he said, "You, you and I have no grievances, why, why …"
However, the Taoist Nun ignored him. She walked past Li Yi and said, "I don't have money to pay for that person's medicine, so I'll use this as compensation. What do you think?"
"That's good." Li Yi nodded, then cupped his hands to the middle-aged Taoist nun and said, "Junior Li Yi thanks Taoist Nun for saving me, and I also thank Taoist Nun for showing mercy just now."
The middle-aged Taoist nun knew that he was talking about not competing with the Liu girl. She looked at him and lightly asked, "Are you that girl's senior brother? Since you are from the same sect, why is your martial arts so crude? "
She had just heard those people talking and knew that the Liu girl, this young man, and the other girl were from the same sect. However, it was strange that the Liu girl's martial arts had already reached a higher level. Even she couldn't see the depth of the person who appeared later, who seemed to be her sister, and the person in front of her had too little Zhenqi.
Li Yi was a little embarrassed. The question was too straightforward, and he couldn't answer it.
Fortunately, the Taoist nun didn't continue to pursue the question. She said, "You said that your name is Li Yi, so 'The Condor Shooting' and 'The Return of the Condor Heroes' were both written by you?"
Li Yi silently prayed for Old Master Jin's forgiveness in his heart and shamelessly nodded.
However, he was surprised in his heart. Old Man Sun did a good job with the advertisement of the brothel. When did even the Taoist nun start to care about these things?
"Jianghu is not as naive and childish as you think." The Taoist Nun lightly said and floated away. When Li Yi turned back, Cui Tong had also disappeared.
"What a strange person …"
Li Yi muttered in a low voice. Xiao Huan, who saw him from behind, was already waving at him.
…
…
The son-in-law and the Second Miss had officially entered a cold war. They hadn't spoken for two whole days. After that day, the Second Miss didn't go to compete with others. She also ate in her own room.
Xiao Huan saw this and remembered it, but she couldn't do anything. She could only look at the son-in-law's room and the Second Miss's room from time to time and sigh.
In two days, they would leave for the capital. They couldn't continue like this. The son-in-law and the Second Miss didn't speak. These two days, she even deliberately lowered her voice when she walked …
Inside the room, looking at Li Yi who was writing something on the table, Ruyi also sighed softly. However, she couldn't be more familiar with their personalities. One would never admit defeat, while the other didn't care about most things, but had a bottom line that was hard to touch. Neither of them were easily submissive.
Even she, who had the closest relationship with the two of them, could only watch and couldn't interfere.
"Niang niang, this subordinate went to take a look at the brothel. You are currently ranked third on the Heaven Roll. Should we take action on that matter sooner?" In an ordinary inn in the prefectural city, in a guest room, a purple-clothed man half-knelt in the room and spoke to a figure hidden in a loose Taoist robe.
After a long silence, the middle-aged Taoist nun finally said: "I didn't think that even this kind of place would have crouching tigers and hidden dragons. This matter should wait for a few more days."
The purple-clothed man nodded and said: "There seems to be some unforeseen events in the capital. Do you want this subordinate to go take a look?"
After a long time, the purple-clothed man didn't hear any movement from the room. He carefully raised his head and glanced around. Only then did he discover that other than him, there was no one else in the room.
