When he was young, Li Yi, like other boys, had dreams of being a Wuxia.
He had dreamed countless times that he could learn the best Kung Fu in the world and become a hero. He could fight against the strong and help the weak, travel the world with his sword, and leave a legend of chivalry in Jianghu.
Especially after he came into contact with all kinds of Wuxia novels and TV series, this idea became stronger and stronger.
However, as he grew older, his thinking became less childish, and this idea gradually faded.
In the 21st century, there was no Wuxia Jianghu. As long as he was an adult with a normal brain, he would not always think about these illusory things like when he was young.
But it was different here.
In this world, Jianghu really existed.
Although "Wherever there are people, there is Jianghu", the definition of "Jianghu" here was very broad. But the Jianghu in this world was a real Jianghu with swords and heroes.
Here, individual strength was extremely magnified. Even a small Willow Leaf Village could be called a place with crouching tigers and hidden dragons.
Like Fang and the others, they looked like simple and honest farmers, but when they really fought with others, they were all good fighters who could fight against ten.
Even his wife and sister-in-law were martial arts masters with extraordinary skills.
Li Yi saw them practice Kung Fu every day, and the little tricks they showed inadvertently would make Li Yi's jaw drop.
It was a piece of cake for them to break a wooden table with their bare hands. Li Yi felt that it would be no problem for Liu Ruyi to break a big stone on her chest.
Thinking about it, he still felt that it was not suitable for her to practice. Her chest was already flat enough, and if it was pressed by the stone, there would be nothing left …
Li Yi should be very lucky that Liu Ruyi could not hear what he was thinking, otherwise she would have already taken out her sword and hacked at him.
After thinking carefully, Li Yi sadly found that in the whole family, in terms of fighting ability, he could only beat Xiao Huan. As a man, was there anything more shameful than this?
No, in the family, there were more women than men. If he was not more domineering and powerful, he would be suppressed for the rest of his life.
"Ruyi …"
Li Yi looked at Liu Ruyi with a smile, trying to make his voice as gentle as possible.
Ruyi had never seen such an attitude from Li Yi, so he immediately raised his guard against him. He looked at him from afar and made a defensive posture.
Li Yi's face darkened when he saw that he was about to make a move just because he called out her name. If not for the fact that he had a favor to ask, he really wanted to turn around and leave …
"What is it?" Liu Ruyi looked at him and asked straightforwardly.
"I want to learn martial arts." This time, Li Yi didn't beat around the bush and answered straightforwardly.
"Practice martial arts?" Liu Ruyi looked at him with a different expression. "Why?"
Li Yi was stunned when he heard that, but he still said honestly, "I just want to practice martial arts. I've admired martial artists since I was young, but I never had the chance to practice."
"No."
To Li Yi's surprise, Liu Ruyi shook her head quickly.
"Why?" It was his turn to be confused.
"Your aptitude is too low," Liu Ruyi said bluntly.
Li Yi was stunned when he heard that, then he felt indignant.
He was a transmigrator after all, and he had the halo of a protagonist. He was destined to be the man who changed the world, and he would succeed no matter what he did. He just wanted to practice martial arts, but he was told that his aptitude was too low? That didn't fit the plot of a protagonist at all.
However, it was impossible for him to give up just like that. A thought flashed through his mind, and he looked at Liu Ruyi and said, "Why don't we make a bet?"
"No."
Liu Ruyi said straightforwardly, and Li Yi's words were stuck in his throat.
Li Yi looked at her angrily. She always didn't play by the rules. Could they still have a pleasant conversation?
"If I lose, I'll give you fifty taels of silver. If you lose, you have to teach me martial arts." Li Yi didn't care whether she rejected it or not. He really didn't believe that Liu Ruyi could resist the temptation of fifty taels of silver.
Sure enough, after hearing Li Yi's bet, Liu Ruyi raised her eyebrows, and she seemed to be tempted.
Fifty taels of silver was indeed not a small amount of money for her, and she could buy many things she wanted. She had never had so much money in her life.
However, she also knew that since Li Yi said that, he must have the confidence to win. Based on her understanding of Li Yi, he wouldn't do things that he wasn't confident about.
Li Yi knew what she was thinking at a glance. He smiled and said, "Don't worry. I won't ask you to recite poems or paint, and I won't ask you to do anything difficult."
After saying that, he stood up and picked up two stones of different sizes from the corner of the yard. He held them in his hands and raised his arms to the same height. He looked at Liu Ruyi and said, "You just need to guess which of these two stones will fall first when I let go. If you guess right, I lose, and I'll give you the fifty taels of silver. If you guess wrong, you must fulfill your promise and teach me martial arts."
The bet was very simple, but when Li Yi said it, Liu Ruyi still had some doubts in her heart.
Of course, she didn't doubt herself, but she doubted Li Yi's intelligence.
When two stones fell from the same height, it was common knowledge that the heavier one would fall first. Was there a need to bet?
This bet was a situation where she would definitely win.
If it wasn't for the elusive smile on Li Yi's face, Liu Ruyi would have suspected that he was really out of his mind and wanted to give her fifty taels of silver for nothing.
She didn't worry that Li Yi would play any tricks. At such a close distance, no matter what Li Yi did, he wouldn't be able to escape her eyes.
"What, do you dare to bet?" Li Yi looked at Liu Ruyi and said provocatively.
"Why not?"
Liu Ruyi glanced at him and said lightly.
She couldn't lose this bet no matter what. Why would she go against the money?
"Let's make a promise!"
Li Yi put down the stone and raised his hand.
Clap!
Liu Ruyi frowned, but she still reached out her hand and gave him a high five.
"Let's begin. I'm guessing that the stone in your left hand will fall first." Liu Ruyi was referring to the bigger stone.
"Don't rush …" Li Yi didn't start immediately. He said with a serious face, "I have to get Xiao Huan to witness it. Otherwise, if you go back on your words, who am I going to talk to?"
Liu Ruyi couldn't suppress the urge to slash him with her sword again.
After a while, the servant girl stood beside them. She looked at Li Yi, then at Liu Ruyi and said, "Young master, Second Miss, we can start now."
After that, she focused all her attention on Li Yi's hands. She couldn't help but sigh in her heart. Young master's fifty taels of silver was probably going to be gone this time …
Even Xiao Huan knew that the big stone would fall first. How could Second Miss be wrong?
"Watch carefully."
Li Yi raised his arms to the same height and revealed an unnoticeable smile. He let go of his hands and the two stones fell to the ground.
Bang!
Two stones fell from the sky and hit the bluestone slabs, making only a single sound.
"How is this possible!"
Upon seeing this scene, Liu Ruyi could not help but exclaim in astonishment.
