Borrowing a sword

Chapter 26 My Rules
Since he knew he couldn't win, Chu Huaixu decisively broke free.

He walked up to Liu Chenggong and raised his hands.

"Junior Brother Chu, what are you doing?" Liu Chenggong asked.

"Huh? Don't you need to tie me up?"

I know the process well! I was familiar with it when I was in Spring and Autumn Mountain. The four major sects are pretty much the same!

Looking at the exceptionally handsome young man before him, Liu Chenggong's face revealed a sneer.

"No need. You're just a mere Qi Refining stage cultivator. Do you think you have the ability to resist?"

"If you surrender now, we'll find it boring."

"If you try to escape halfway through, that would be quite interesting."

He looked at Chu Huaixu with a playful smile, as if he were looking at a toy in the palm of his hand.

Chu Huaixu met his gaze and slowly lowered his raised hands.

"What is your relationship with Liu Chengqi?" he asked directly.

Liu Chenggong laughed: "You've got some nerve!"

He looked the fox-faced man up and down, then scoffed, "That makes sense. You wouldn't dare to lay a hand on Chengqi if you didn't have some guts."

The deputy captain of the Yaoshan Law Enforcement Team was fearless anyway, and besides, this was not a secret in the outer sect, so he said, "Liu Chengqi is my cousin."

"Oh right, you must be new here, right? I forgot to tell you, his father is one of the nine great stewards of the outer sect."

A gentle breeze blew by, lifting a few strands of Chu Huaixu's jet-black hair.

Liu Chenggong and the others wanted to see him terrified, but instead, he remained calm and composed.

"I understand," Chu Huaixu said simply.

This greatly displeased the deputy captain of the enforcement team.

He even began to doubt whether this person was completely lacking in social skills.

The nine stewards are the highest authorities in the outer sect.

Do you know how serious the consequences will be if you beat someone's only son like this?
"What do you understand?" Liu Chenggong's face darkened.

Chu Huaixu smiled and said, "I understand now why so many of my fellow disciples recommend him as their martial arts instructor, given how much he loves to get physical."

"The deacon's son, the deputy captain of the enforcement team's cousin, no wonder."

Liu Chenggong simply smiled and said nothing.

For him, it was perfectly normal for others to flatter him, and also to flatter his uncle, who was a high-ranking deacon.

It's as if he owns a restaurant in Yaoshan, and the business is booming.

But are the people who come to eat and buy wine really there because the food is good?

Not necessarily.

At this moment, Liu Chenggong looked around and asked, "Is that junior sister Han Shuangjiang not home?"

“Yes, she didn’t come back with me,” Chu Huaixu said.

"This junior sister must be very beautiful, right?" Liu Chenggong's face revealed a knowing smile that only men could understand.

“Yes, she is a beauty of unparalleled grace,” Chu Huaixu replied.

"Is your relationship with her unusual?" Liu Chenggong asked again.

"Well, you could say it's quite unusual," he said.

“No wonder, my cousin likes this kind of thing.” Liu Chenggong raised a hand and gently patted Chu Huaixu’s shoulder, whether to comfort him or to rub salt in his wounds, it was hard to tell: “There’s nothing I can do, brother.”

"He has the spirit of Cao Cao, but he's a traitor like Cao Cao," Chu Huaixu said in a language they couldn't understand.

You, Liu Chengqi, look all respectable, but you actually enjoy stealing what others love. You have a taste for that!

No wonder he couldn't resist touching it in front of me.

Chu Huaixu was not surprised that the son of a high-ranking official was teaching martial arts to ordinary people.

He knew a little about the character of the second generation.

There are even people on Earth who drive luxury cars to drive for Didi Chuxing (a ride-hailing service), only accepting orders from female passengers.

After skiing suddenly became popular, some second-generation skiers who were skilled in it became ski instructors.

Is it really about that little bit of money?
The appeal lies in the fun and the thrill of seduction.

They wouldn't stoop to doing the kind of despicable acts of bullying men and women that are depicted in TV dramas right from the start.

They want to unleash their charm, demonstrate their abilities and methods, and use their tried-and-true tricks to seduce them and make them come to them willingly.

These men are born with a life where they can never lack women.

Ordinary people are shocked by the price; the enclosure is something they can only dream of but can never afford. For them, it's just a small amount of money, and they even find it boring and lacking in fun.

They also need a sense of accomplishment on a psychological level!
They also need these achievements to boast about their charm to the outside world!
Some of the hard work that others do to support their families is just a pastime for them to do when they want and not do when they don't want to.

While learning the "Jili Gulu Bagua Palm" whose name he couldn't remember, Chu Huaixu looked at Liu Chengqi's expensive robes and his demeanor and mannerisms, and he actually had some guesses in his heart.

"I just didn't expect Liu Chengqi to be so wild, misunderstanding my relationship with the housekeeper, and trying to both make money off me 10 taels of silver and treat me like a dog." "He doesn't even consider me human at heart." Chu Huaixu laughed.

But he knew very well that Liu Chengqi had definitely succeeded before, and more than once! He might even have bullied someone.
Interestingly, Liu Chenggong, the man in front of him, didn't seem to regard Chu Huaixu as a human being either.

He patted Chu Huaixu's shoulder gently and said, "After the damaged spiritual embryo was damaged, I've been in a bad mood and can only find some enjoyment in life. Please understand, Junior Brother Chu."

Liu Chenggong was really bored. He thought that anyone who dared to injure his cousin would be easily angered, and that would give him some amusement.

To his surprise, the young man with the somewhat fox-like face grinned at him and said:

"It's covered."

Outside the bamboo house, Liu Chenggong was too lazy to waste any more words with Chu Huaixu.

His face darkened, and he said to his two subordinates, "You two, go and bring that Junior Sister Han back!"

"Yes," said the two seemingly nameless individuals.

"Then let's go, Junior Brother Chu." Liu Chenggong's gaze was gloomy.

"Please lead the way, Senior Brother Liu." Chu Huaixu gestured for him to proceed.

He's the typical type of person who likes to use polite language first, then say disrespectful things, or even do disrespectful things.

Even when he seriously injured Liu Chengqi, he kept calling him "Senior Brother Liu".

Before becoming a gaming companion, he had two relationships, one of which was an affair with his university counselor. Whenever he got emotional, he would call her "teacher," and occasionally he would even make her cry.

In short, impeccable manners!
But Liu Chenggong's face darkened even more. He snorted coldly, put a [Swiftness Talisman] on himself, and said, "My cousin is probably getting impatient. We need to hurry."

After saying that, he grabbed Chu Huaixu, then lightly leaped onto the branches and quickly moved among the ancient trees.

Not long after, he brought Chu Huaixu back to the Law Enforcement Hall of Medicine Mountain and imprisoned him in the dungeon.

As he said, Liu Chengqi really couldn't wait any longer; he was already waiting in the dungeon.

Chu Huaixu guessed that he had taken some kind of elixir, which was why his injuries had healed.

Having a butler father is normal, after all.

To his slight surprise, there was another person with half-gray hair in the dungeon.

Upon seeing him, Liu Chenggong respectfully greeted him, "Uncle."

Upon hearing this, the old man immediately raised his hand and said, "How many times have I told you? You must use your official title when you're out in public."

"Yes, Your Excellency." Liu Chenggong was unusually obedient at this moment.

The elderly man with half-white hair nodded slightly and glanced at Chu Huaixu: "You are Chu Huaixu?"

"Yes, disciple greets Steward Liu." Chu Huaixu raised his hand in greeting, still upholding virtues and maintaining impeccable manners, while also stalling for time.

"I heard from Chengqi that you are only at the second level of cultivation, just entering the Qi Refining stage. Yet you were able to injure him, and using the 'Eight Trigrams Palm of Heaven and Earth' that he taught you?"

Chu Huaixu immediately raised his eyes, his eyes shining: "Exactly! Has the steward taken a liking to talent?"

While cracking jokes, he also had time to silently memorize in his mind: So it's called "Heaven and Earth Limitless Eight Trigrams Palm".

Upon hearing this, Deacon Liu's old face was first taken aback, and then instantly turned gloomy.

And you know what? When these three men surnamed Liu have a dark expression, they all look the same!
The old man snorted coldly, then flicked his finger, and a shallow wound appeared on Chu Huaixu's arm, from which blood oozed.

Chu Huaixu looked down in surprise and glanced at his arm.

He didn't care about the minor injury, but his robe was torn, and he wondered if the housekeeper knew how to sew it.

With a slight beckoning motion, Deacon Liu sent a drop of blood flying into his palm.

"Hmm? Inferior spiritual embryo?" He scanned it with his divine sense.

He had never seen this type of spirit embryo before, but its energy was weak and its grade was obviously very low.

The old man came in person because he wanted to see the young man's talent after hearing his only son's description.

Although he wielded terrifying power in the outer sect, he also knew that if someone was a chosen one of heaven, he really had to be wary of them.

But this mere inferior spiritual embryo is worlds apart from my son's blazing fire spiritual embryo!

"You dare to ask me to appreciate your talent?" The old man looked at Chu Huaixu coldly, his expression indifferent.

After saying that, he turned to leave and said to his only son and nephew, "Do whatever you want."

He was just a nominal disciple, and a low-grade spiritual embryo at that. If he died, he died; they could just make up some excuse.

"Sir! Wait!" Chu Huaixu shouted.

The old man turned his head in confusion, his brows furrowed.

"I know the outer sect rules by heart. May I ask, it was Senior Brother Liu who struck first? I was merely acting in self-defense. Which rule did I break?" Chu Huaixu spoke with righteous indignation and force.

The elderly man, who had a son late in life, looked at this seemingly innocent young man who had not been tempered by worldly affairs and said in a strong voice, "No matter who struck first, you have broken the rules by injuring my son! You have broken the rules of Liu Tianfeng!"

This loud shout actually contained hidden spiritual power, which shook Chu Huaixu's mind and made him feel dizzy. His vision went black, and he almost couldn't stand up. His face turned pale instantly.

Not far away, a deep, resonant voice finally rang out.

"Deacon Liu, what an arrogant official you are!"
