Martial Arts: After ten years of sword-drawing, the Sword God must bow his head when he sees me

Chapter 128: Fortune and Misfortune Come From No Door, Only Man Can Bring Themselves
Only after Shen Tiannan left did Bai Xiaosheng and Gongzi Yu enter the courtyard.

At this time, Shen Ping'an had already put the silver needles used in the acupuncture back into the acupuncture box.

He looked up at the two people who walked into the courtyard and said softly, "You two are both well-known figures after all. If you always show up so suddenly, it's inevitable that you will cause some trouble."

Bai Xiaosheng remained silent. Gongzi Yu, who was standing beside him, said calmly as he walked, "If you're not worried about people knowing about your connection with the Azure Dragon Society, how about we go through the main entrance next time?"

Obviously, neither of them took Shen Ping'an's words to heart.

Shen Pingan was not in a hurry to explain.

After sitting down opposite, Shen Ping'an waved his hand, refusing Qu Feiyan's move to pour water for him, and instead turned over the two upside-down teacups on the tea tray.

With a slight movement of his fingertips, two streams of water were drawn out from the teapot and fell into the two empty teacups respectively.

However, when the tea was eighty percent full, Shen Pingan circulated his inner energy slightly, and withdrew two drops of water from the teapot and condensed them in his palm.

Under the gaze of Gongzi Yu and Bai Xiaosheng, as the energy surrounded the water droplets, the originally clear water droplets actually took on a hint of red.

When they saw the two drops of water in Shen Ping'an's palm, which were obviously mixed with medicine, fall into the teacup respectively, they both looked up at Shen Ping'an.

Bai Xiaosheng asked, "Mr. Shen, what's this?"

"Antidote!"

Shen Pingan said concisely.

The moment they heard about the antidote, a hint of doubt flashed across their eyes, and then, as if they had reacted, they quickly circulated the true energy in their bodies.

A few breaths later, when the two sensed those things in the upper dantian that obviously did not belong to their bodies, their faces changed.

He subconsciously circulated his Qi to force the toxins around his upper Dantian out of his body.

But when the two of them tried their best to circulate their true energy, they found that the toxins around the upper dantian were as if they had taken root and remained motionless.

Just at this moment, Shen Ping'an raised his fingertips slightly, and two strands of energy pushed the teacup in front of the two of them.

Seeing this, Gongzi Yu pondered for a moment, then picked up the teacup on the table and placed it under the mask.

Bai Xiaosheng, who was standing by, also picked up the teacup and drank it all in one gulp.

As the tea mixed with medicine entered their stomachs, both of them could clearly feel the toxins in their upper dantian dissipating at an extremely fast speed.

It disappeared completely in just a few breaths.

Only then did Bai Xiaosheng breathe a sigh of relief.

When he looked up at Shen Pingan, Bai Xiaosheng said helplessly: "My friend, this joke is not funny!"

Hearing this, Shen Pingan shook his head and said, "We were suddenly attacked by a Heavenly Man Realm Third Level warrior yesterday. Of course, we were a little cautious, so we temporarily placed some poisons in this villa to prevent any more scoundrels from breaking in. I never thought you two would come in uninvited. It can only be considered an accident."

These few half-true and half-false words revealed a lot of information.

Bai Xiaosheng asked, "During this period of time, have you provoked other enemies?"

Shen Pingan responded, "I haven't left Yuyang City since returning from Wudang Sect."

As he spoke, Shen Ping'an asked Qu Feiyan to take out the portrait of the warrior at the third level of the Heavenly Man Realm from last night.

When Bai Xiaosheng's eyes fell on the portrait, Shen Pingan said, "Senior, as the current Bai Xiaosheng of Bai Xiao Pavilion, I wonder if you have ever seen this person?"

Bai Xiaosheng pondered for a moment and said in a deep voice, "This person is Xie Wangchen from the Divine Sword Villa. He is also a hidden chess piece of the Divine Sword Villa, so Bai Xiao Pavilion has not recorded him on the Heavenly Man List."

"Excalibur Villa?"

After knowing this person's identity, Shen Ping'an's eyes flashed slightly, and his mind was constantly turning, wondering why the Divine Sword Villa suddenly sent people to attack him.

But on the surface, Shen Ping'an looked normal.

Taking in Shen Ping'an's calm reaction, Bai Xiaosheng smiled and asked, "Young friend, aren't you curious as to why this Divine Sword Villa suddenly arranged for someone to attack you?"

Shen Pingan said calmly: "The root cause of any struggle in the world is nothing more than the two words 'fame and fortune'."

"I and the Shen family have never had any grudges against the Divine Sword Villa. The Shen family is now located in Jiangnan, not within the Divine Sword Villa's sphere of influence, so there is no ordinary conflict of interest."

"Since there is no conflict over 'profit', the conflict can only be over 'reputation'."

Listening to Shen Ping'an's words, Bai Xiaosheng couldn't help but sigh: "My friend is indeed a thoughtful person!"

After sighing, Bai Xiaosheng said, "Divine Sword Villa is famous for its swords. For hundreds of years, it has been the foremost sword sect in the martial arts world."

"All the previous owners of the Divine Sword Villa were world-renowned swordsmen."

Shen Pingan took over the topic and said, "It's just that all this has been affected by my appearance."

Bai Xiaosheng nodded and said, "Not bad!"

"My friend, you have an extraordinary talent for swordsmanship. At such a young age, you have already reached the state of unity between man and sword, and are already a master of swordsmanship."

"Now, my friend is already recognized as the best swordsman in the Ming Dynasty."

"With my friend here, the Shen family has become the number one sword family in the Ming Dynasty." "Since ancient times, there has been no first in literature and no second in martial arts. The Shen family has become the number one sword family. How can the Divine Sword Villa, once a holy place for swordsmanship, dare to dream?"

At this time, Shen Qingshan couldn't help but ask, "Just for this reason, you arranged for someone to come and kill people?"

Facing Shen Qingshan's question, Shen Pingan said calmly: "This reason is enough."

People need face and trees need bark.

In the martial arts world, many famous masters value their reputation more than their own lives.

Excalibur Villa is obviously one of them.

With the talent and strength in swordsmanship that Shen Ping'an has shown now, as long as he does not die prematurely, in the future, whenever the entire Ming Dynasty mentions swordsmanship, the first person they want to mention is Shen Ping'an, who is known as the "Grandmaster of Swordsmanship" and the "Number One in Swordsmanship".

Rather than the Divine Sword Villa.

Even in Shen Ping'an's hands, the entire Shen family will replace the former position of Shenjian Villa.

Become a new holy land of kendo.

You know, when people are used to being high and mighty and suddenly fall back to earth, few people can bear this kind of gap.

As the holy land of swordsmanship in the Ming Dynasty, Shenjian Villa is also a top force in itself. How can it tolerate someone surpassing Shenjian Villa in swordsmanship achievements and reputation?
Attacking Shen Pingan was indeed unexpected, but also reasonable.

Gongzi Yu shook his head and said, "However, this Divine Sword Villa still underestimated you, or rather, the people in this world also underestimated you."

"Even though he hasn't even entered the Heavenly Man Realm yet, he already has the power to kill a Heavenly Man Realm third-level warrior."

"If Excalibur Villa knew this, I don't think they would think of becoming your enemy."

However, just as Bai Xiaosheng finished speaking, Shen Pingan slowly said, "Based on my speculation, if Divine Sword Villa knew my strength in advance, they would only send more experts, or even mobilize all the Heavenly Realm warriors in the entire Divine Sword Villa."

Hearing Shen Ping'an's words, Bai Xiaosheng smiled and said, "That's right! You really understand human nature very well."

"Unless the strength displayed by you is enough to deter the entire Excalibur Villa, otherwise, we will only think about nipping this danger in the bud before your rise threatens Excalibur Villa."

Qu Feiyan, who was standing behind Shen Pingan, sighed.

"I thought that as a top-tier organization, Divine Sword Villa would be different, but it turned out to be just like the Sun Moon Sect and the Five Mountains Sword Sect. They have no tolerance at all and are willing to kill for something like this."

Gongzi Yu's voice slowly rang out from under the mask.

"The so-called top forces are nothing more than a group of warriors with stronger strength. At most, they are more hypocritical and their methods are more sophisticated."

After saying that, Gongzi Yu looked at Shen Pingan and said, "Divine Sword Villa attacked you, what are you going to do next?"

Shen Pingan picked up the teacup, took a sip, and said calmly, "Good and bad fortune come from nowhere, but from people themselves. Since someone started it, someone else should naturally finish it."

As soon as the words came out, Qu Feiyan and Shen Qingshan's expressions changed.

And Gongzi Yu's eyes lit up.

"Are you planning to attack the Excalibur Villa?"

Shen Pingan said softly: "If we let this go so easily, I'm afraid the troubles will continue. Even so, it's better to get rid of it once and for all."

A warrior at the Heavenly Man Realm is extremely valuable even to top forces.

As for his enemies, Shen Pingan believed in killing them as soon as possible and would never hold back.

Therefore, when Shenjian Villa arranged for this master of the Heavenly Realm to enter the Shen family, the hostility between them was already destined.

Given Shen Ping'an's personality, it would be fine if he didn't know the enemy's background.

Now that I know, how can I remain indifferent?

What's more, if we ignore a top-level enemy, who knows when they will do something secretly?

Gongzi Yu asked with a smile in his eyes, "The Divine Sword Villa has stood tall in the martial arts world for hundreds of years. The current owner, Xie Wangsun, is a master of the fifth level of the Heavenly Man Realm. There are also two other Heavenly Man Realm warriors in the villa. If you need any help, I can do it for you."

Shen Pingan said with a smile: "If it is necessary, I will not be polite to you!"

"When are you going to take action?" asked Gongzi Yu.

Shen Pingan thought for a moment and then responded, "It's not decided yet, but with Bai Xiao Pavilion's intelligence network, I think you will receive news when I enter the sphere of influence of Shenjian Villa."

Having said that, Shen Pingan did not continue to talk about this issue, but raised his hand and extended it to Gongzi Yu.

Seeing this, Gongzi Yu also understood what Shen Pingan meant.

When Shen Ping'an's hand fell, the three slightly bent fingers landed on Gongzi Yu's wrist.

After a while, Shen Pingan said, "Do you mind taking off the mask?"

In response to what Shen Ping'an said, Gongzi Yu took off the mask on his face without hesitation.

When Shen Qingshan and Qu Feiyan's eyes fell on Gongzi Yu's face, their pupils couldn't help but shrink.
