Sword Saint Sect Disciples
Liu Moyean, I remember someone introducing her during the chess game, said she was the champion of last year's Famous Swords Tournament and the closed-door disciple of Sword Saint Zuo Taixuan. And Zuo Taixuan, according to the realm of the Main World, is definitely a super strong person at the Ascension-level!
What are the Sword Saint Sect's disciples doing here? And why is that girl named Ying Er calling her "Senior Sister"—is she also a disciple of the Sword Saint?
Luo Jun was pondering the identities of the two, but Ying Er noticed his intense gaze.
"Hey you lecher, what are you looking at!" This girl, already arrogant, became even more unforgiving once she got the upper hand. "This young lady isn't someone just anyone can look at! You're the one, give me the room!"
As she spoke, she tossed the silver in her hand, and it shot towards Luo Jun with a whoosh!
Luo Jun frowned slightly. The silver flew at an extremely fast speed. If an ordinary person were hit by it, it wouldn't be enough to just get a bump on their head. This girl in yellow was quite domineering and ruthless!
Luo Jun was about to dodge when he suddenly felt a pressure on his shoulder. Glancing around, he saw Lu Fei's hand on his shoulder.
"Senior Brother Lu is such a good person..." Luo Jun felt a warmth in his heart, and followed his grip to lie down, preparing to dodge the silver ingot.
Just then, a golden light swept across, and the flying silver was cut in mid-air, falling to the ground with two thuds.
"This is..." Luo Jun turned his head in surprise and saw Ling Xin at the next table, holding a teacup in one hand and taking a sip, while pointing in this direction with her other hand, her fingers forming a sword shape, and a long sword made of golden light condensing at her fingertips.
This move made Ying'er's Ying Er furrow, and she looked at Ling Xin: "Condensing Qi into Sword, what a skill! I didn't expect there to be such a master here!"
"Anyway, I don't like the room that stinky man stayed in. Since you've taken my money, you might as well give up your room!"
"Ha! So you're all in cahoots!" Ying Er took a step back. "It seems you've booked the entire inn, which is why I have nowhere to stay!"
Internally, they are all classmates; externally, they are all disciples of the Hundred Rivers Sect, all Blood Qi youths. Who could tolerate their own being bullied? So what if they are disciples of the Sword Saint Sect? Besides, this girl in yellow really went too far!
Seeing the other person draw their sword, the other students in the room also slammed their fists on the table and stood up, drawing their weapons as well.
Seeing the two leave, Xiao Tian scoffed somewhat disappointedly. The students also put away their weapons and sat down, discussing the unreasonable girl in yellow.
"Come on, all of you come at me! This Grandmother has never been afraid of anything in the world!"
"Sir, my junior sister is young and impulsive; please don't take offense at her."
"Senior Sister!" At this moment, Ying Er stomped her foot behind her and said indignantly, "What are you doing?!"
As for Luo Jun, he thanked Ling Xin at the next table, but she still didn't look at him directly, only saying indifferently, "It was nothing."
"Have you forgotten Master's instructions before you left? Don't cause trouble!" Liu Moyean took the opportunity to step back, dispelling Xiao Tian's Killing Intent. Then she cupped her hands to the people in the room and said, "I'm sorry, Junior Sister was rude and offended me..." After saying that, she pulled Ying Er and left the inn.
"Then today I'll show you what fear is!" A long-haired boy strode towards Ying Er with an arrogant air, grinning to reveal his white teeth, exuding Killing Intent aura. It was none other than Mad Dog Xiao Tian.
Xiao Tian could also sense that if he took another step forward, the opponent's sword would be drawn...
The other students were astonished to hear this; these two sword-wielding girls were actually disciples of the Sword Saint Sect?
Just then, a scabbard suddenly struck Ying Er's sword, and a spinning force deflected the sword in her hand, guiding it to spin around once before it was sheathed again. Then, a figure in green stood between Ying Er and Xiao Tian.
His fighting style was that of Mad Dog, but that didn't mean he was actually insane. He clenched his fists like claws, his knuckles cracking, ready for battle, but his steps were hesitant.
Upon hearing Ling Xin mention the Sword Saint, Ying Er immediately drew her sword. "How dare you call my master's name like that?"
"I never imagined the Sword Saint Sect's disciples would be so arrogant and domineering!" Ling Xin put down her teacup and snorted coldly, "Is this how Zuo Taixuan teaches his disciples?"
Liu Moyean in a fist salute to Xiao Tian, seemingly humble, but in reality, he was brewing a fierce aura, which he held back without releasing it.
Having grown accustomed to her indifference, Luo Jun shook his head, not caring much. He bent down, picked up the silver coin that had been split in two, and put it away, not knowing how much it was worth.
Upstairs on the second floor, Tie Jingang and several Blue-clothed Disciple witnessed the entire incident downstairs. Song Shan frowned and said, "Elder Tie... Martial Uncle... those two girls are disciples of the Sword Saint Sect. A conflict like that might cause trouble, wouldn't it?"
"It's alright..." Tie Jingang waved his hand. "The Sword Saint is a leading figure of a reputable sect, and he's quite upright and honest. He won't make trouble over such a small matter. Besides, he was in the wrong today because he failed to manage his subordinates properly, so he won't cause any trouble."
Li Xinyu, standing to the side, said, "Besides, you forgot, the Sword Saint and the Hundred Rivers Sect have some connections. The year before last, when the Sword Saint accepted a disciple, he even asked Old Yuan to be a witness."
As the leader of the Ningdong Branch, Old Yuan was of the same rank as the Vice President. He would occasionally come to the Martial World to serve as Acting Head, and he was the most prestigious among all the Acting Head. Many martial arts sects had even tacitly accepted Yuan Shouzhen as the real Sect Leader, and their attitude towards him was completely different from that of other Acting Head.
"And I'm actually quite pleased," Tie Jingang, a smile playing on his lips as he looked at the students below. "When someone causes trouble, you can unite to fight back. That's a good spirit..."
"Hey, Senior Sister!" At the street corner a few dozen meters east of the inn, Ying Er shook off Liu Moyean's hand. "Why did you give in so easily? Let me teach those rabble a lesson!"
"Who do you want to teach a lesson to?" Liu Moyean, his face flushed with anger. "You were in the wrong from the start. When you threw money at people, you were provoking them. Master told us to avoid trouble when we're out in the world, so why didn't you listen?"
"Stop causing trouble..." Ying Er pouted, "What's the use of learning these skills if you can't do whatever you want?"
"Learning martial arts isn't about using a sword to bully others... Sigh, never mind, it's pointless to reason with you!" Liu Moyean knew his junior sister's temperament and sighed, "Besides, if we had actually fought, we might not have come out on top!"
Ying Er was taken aback. "What do you mean?"
"Besides that woman who Condensing Qi into Sword, the person who threw the silver, the young man sitting next to him also reacted extremely quickly, and there are several other people in the room whose auras are also extraordinary... They can all be considered experts."
"Oh, I saw that too..." Ying Er sneered, unconcerned. "There are a few who are not bad, but calling them experts is a bit of an exaggeration. Besides, even if I can't handle them, don't I still have you, Senior Sister?"
Liu Moyean snorted coldly and flicked Ying Er's nose, "I'm not sticking up for you in this mess!"
As she spoke, her expression turned slightly serious. "And don't underestimate them. The experts you can see aren't scary; it's the unseen ones who are dangerous."
"There were three people in that inn just now, and I couldn't tell their strength at all."
"Senior sister, even you can't do it?" Ying Er finally exclaimed in surprise. "Which three people?"
"One of them is the woman who used golden light to slice down the Silver Ingot. She made her move without warning, and her aura was as calm as still water. This level of control is extraordinary."
Liu Moyean seemed somewhat wary when he recalled Ling Xin's golden light.
"The second one is a burly man sitting on the second floor. He should be a master of external martial arts. The aura he exudes is no less than that of the Iron Palm Gang leader..." Liu Moyean to Tie Jingang: "Although he is far away, he has been paying attention to the commotion on the first floor. If a conflict really breaks out, he will definitely come down and take action."
"That powerful?" Ying Er was somewhat surprised, then asked curiously, "And the Last One? Was it the one who came out to provoke us?"
"It's not him..." Liu Moyean shook his head. "He's a skilled fighter, but if he were to make a move, I'm confident I could defeat him within seven moves... The one whose true strength I can't gauge is actually..."
She hesitated, glancing at her junior sister, then shook her head. "Never mind, maybe it's just my imagination..."
"Huh? A misperception? Senior sister, don't leave things unsaid..."
"They're all just passing through the martial world, it's no use knowing... In short, these people are not to be trifled with. Be careful when you're out and about, and don't cause any trouble."
As he spoke, Liu Moyean patted Ying Er on the back. "Let's go! Let's go to the inn where Junior Brother Wu and the others are staying. Although it's not as good as here, the conditions aren't bad either."
"Oh dear, that inn is poorly lit and very damp..." Ying Er complained, but still followed her senior sister towards the east of the town.
