Today, I'll Make You Understand What a Genius Is
The next morning, Murong Yin gave Jiang Liu a shy push.
Jiang Liu woke up, hugged Murong Yin, and didn't get up for a while. He couldn't help but sigh, "Indeed, a beautiful woman's waist is a hero's grave."
Even someone as self-disciplined as myself couldn't resist the temptation, though it might also be related to spending so much time in the mountains.
After the two got up and washed up, they came out of the side hall. Cuier had already brought in breakfast, but she kept looking at them, her eyes darting around, as if she was thinking about something.
After breakfast, Cuier cleared the table. Jiang Liu then remembered something, reached into his robes, took out a wooden carving, and handed it to Murong Yin.
Murong Yin thought it was some kind of ornament and casually took it. But as soon as he touched it, he immediately felt a faint spiritual particle being transmitted to him.
Startled, he quickly picked up the wood carving and examined it closely. "Is this carved from the Jade Anomaly Tree?" Murong Yin asked in surprise.
Jiang Liu nodded. "Yes! Your strength is too low. This can increase your cultivation speed!"
Murong Yin rolled her eyes at Jiang Liu, annoyed. "You can use it! Right now, the main thing is for you to improve your strength!" She then handed the Jade Anomaly Tree carving back to Jiang Liu.
Jiang Liu stopped Murong Yin's movements, untied the rope from the Jade Anomaly Tree wood carving, and personally put it around her neck. Then he hugged her and said, "I have more here; this was prepared for you!"
Murong Yin leaned against Jiang Liu's chest with a look of joy, nodded, and said nothing more.
"Miss, now that the young master is back, where should we go for fun today?" Cuier ran in excitedly.
Seeing his young mistress and son-in-law embracing, he was stunned and quickly covered his eyes with his hands and ran away.
Jiang Liu and Murong Yin exchanged a helpless smile, then left the side hall together.
Over the next few days, Jiang Liu accompanied Murong Yin to Yuncheng, where they had a great time.
Jiang Liu also took this opportunity to relax a bit, after all, even an iron man gets tired after a long period of hard training.
On the morning of March 12th, a group of people arrived at the gate of Murong Yin's courtyard and blocked the entrance.
Leading the group was none other than Young Master Luo. Despite his obese figure, he was dressed in a dapper manner and stood arrogantly with his hands on his hips, shouting, "Jiang Liu, you piece of trash, come out if you dare!"
Ever since Jiang Liu publicly stomped on his face and taught him a lesson, his name as the Fat Young Master Luo has spread throughout the Ascension Tower.
It's now spreading throughout the entire Cloud City, and even if it hasn't spread throughout the entire city, the various factions that need to know have already found out.
That infuriated Young Master Luo to the point of near madness. Countless things in his house were smashed, but he never dared to cause trouble for Jiang Liu. Finally, today, his backer has arrived.
His own brother was also Rank 9 Martial Practitioner. Although he hadn't made it onto the Ascension Rankings, his strength was comparable to those on the Ascension Rankings, at least in his own opinion.
So early in the morning he came to the gate of Murong Yin's courtyard to challenge him, but he was still afraid of what had happened that day, so he still dared not step into the courtyard.
Seeing his pathetic state, Young Master Luo's brother said with displeasure, "Why are you calling outside the door? Just come in!" With that, he took the lead and stepped into the courtyard.
Young Master Luo wanted to stop his brother's actions, but then he put his hand down and went inside as well, followed by a large group of people.
Jiang Liu had just finished breakfast with Murong Yin when he heard Young Master Luo shouting outside. He quickly put down his chopsticks and flashed out of the side hall, where he saw a young man exuding the aura of Rank 9 Martial Practitioner walk into the courtyard.
Without thinking much, he casually slapped the man with his palm.
Luo Tianzi then threw a full-force punch at Jiang Liu's palm. "Bang!" Fist and palm collided, and Jiang Liu took three steps back, while Luo Tianzi remained motionless.
Young Master Luo Tiancai happened to witness this scene and immediately shouted excitedly, "Let me show you what a genius is! This is my Luo Tianzi. How about it? Better than you, right!"
Jiang Liu steadied himself, speechless as he looked at Luo Feiwu, wondering where his sense of superiority came from. Without another word, he channeled his inner energy and unleashed a powerful Frost Nether Palm strike towards Luo Tianzi.
The temperature in the entire courtyard seemed to drop several degrees instantly. Luo Tianzi felt it most clearly, as he was still feeling smug about having gained a slight advantage in the exchange of blows.
When the other person struck again, he knew he couldn't withstand the blow and hurriedly tried to dodge, but it was all in vain before he could even take a step.
Jiang Liu's palm was already about to strike, leaving him no choice but to throw a full-force punch at Jiang Liu's palm.
"Bang!" A loud sound came from the collision of fist and palm, followed by a "thud!" Luo Tianzi's body crashed against the courtyard wall.
Luo Tianzi coughed up blood, struggled to get up, but collapsed again.
Jiang Liu said calmly to Luo Tiancai, "Is this the genius you wanted me to see?" He thought to himself, "This kind of trash is the most talented person in the Luo Family?" Luckily, he didn't believe his nonsense and didn't go all out, otherwise he would have been an ice sculpture.
Luo Tiancai was speechless for a moment, looking at Luo Tianzi and then at Jiang Liu, unsure of what to do.
Jiang Liu said calmly, "You barged in without permission. Kneel down, apologize, and slap yourself. If I'm satisfied, I'll let you go!" After saying that, a faint mental pressure enveloped Luo Tiancai.
Luo Tiancai's legs went weak and he knelt down. "You still have to slap yourself!" Jiang Liu's voice continued.
Luo Tiancai immediately raised his hand and slapped himself across the face, shouting, "I'm sorry! I shouldn't have trespassed!"
The group of followers who came in with Luo Tiancai were dumbfounded. Just as they were about to slip away, a voice came from their ears, "You're no different. Don't even think about running away. See what happens to that guy over there first!"
When the followers turned around, they saw that Luo Tianzi had already vomited blood and fainted. They were so frightened that they all knelt down and, like Luo Tiancai, started slapping themselves while apologizing.
They slapped themselves in the face, hating Luo Tiancai to the core. How could you call someone so powerful a piece of trash? What about your brother? What about us?
Jiang Liu then ignored them and walked back to the side hall.
In the side hall, Cuier was chattering excitedly to her young mistress about Jiang Liu's impressive feats, "Miss, it's such a pity you didn't go out to see it! The young master is so powerful! He made the number one genius of the Luo Family vomit blood with just one palm!"
"Right now, Luo Feiwu and his lackeys are all slapping themselves in the face! It's so satisfying to watch! It's good to have your son-in-law at home!"
Murong Yin rolled her eyes at Cuier, then tapped Cuier forehead with her finger. "Alright, stop gossiping! Take the things away!"
Cuier stuck out her tongue and went to pack her things.
Jiang Liu walked into the side hall, where Murong Yin greeted him, "Are you alright?"
Jiang Liu shook his head. "What could possibly happen to a few good-for-nothings?"
"By the way, has the list of participants for the Martial Arts Tournament been released yet? If so, please let me see a copy!"
"It's out. I'll have Cuier get you a copy later, and I'll explain it to you properly!"
Jiang Liu nodded and replied, "Okay!"
P. S.: The Martial Arts Tournament will be updated starting tomorrow!
