All the heavens, starting with Little Li Flying Dagger

Chapter 86 Let's Talk About It

Just as the arena fell into a deathly silence and an awkward atmosphere, a humming suddenly broke the silence.
To be honest, I'm not stupid.

"To be honest, you're a little... stupid."

Seeing Wang Gan tilting his head, stomping his feet, closing his eyes, and humming the lyrics to fit the occasion, the scene was truly comical. Everyone wanted to laugh, but dared not.

Ma Kongqun came to his senses and, realizing what he had said, turned pale and waved his hands repeatedly.

"Big brother, it wasn't me! It really wasn't me! He's the one who did it!"

Bai Tianyu remained silent.
Bai Tianyu could naturally see through Wang Gan's little tricks, but even if he used mind control, he could still tell whether it was true or false.

Could someone speak so emotionally and fluently if they weren't telling the truth?

It was clearly like a long-held pee that had finally been released after the belt was loosened, and then it all came out in a flash, leaving nothing behind.

"Kongqun, you've been keeping these words inside for a long time, haven't you?"

Bai Tianyu forced a smile, stepped forward, and patted Ma Kongqun on the shoulder.

"It's alright, I don't blame you. It was I who was wrong."

After saying that, Bai Tianyu gave Wang Gan a cold look, gritted his teeth, and left.

Ma Kongqun was slapped twice by Bai Tianyu. Although he did not use any internal force, he seemed to have all his strength drained away. He knelt on the ground with a look of despair on his face.

Others may not know, but doesn't he? Given Bai Tianyu's personality, his apparent magnanimity is merely a last resort, a way to save face in public, waiting for today to pass.
Ma Kongqun was sweating profusely. He had been humiliated like this today. Bai Tianyu was no kind person, much less easy to talk to!
The reputation of being invincible with the divine blade wasn't just something he said; it was earned through sheer bloodshed on the frontier. The souls that fell under his blade could stretch from the border town all the way to Yumen Pass!

After this farce, everyone present looked at each other in bewilderment.

"Young Master... Master Bai..."

Tie Chuanjia hesitated, wanting to speak but stopping himself.

Li Xunhuan sighed.

"Never mind, actually I gave Brother Bai a throwing knife engraved with the word 'forbearance' a long time ago, just to remind him that one should be kind and tolerant, and not always try to be the first."

"For Brother Bai, this experience may not be a bad thing."

With Li Xunhuan's wisdom, he was well aware of Bai Tianyu's character flaws. However, Li Xunhuan was used to being a good person and was too respectful of others, so he was unwilling to point it out.

Wang Gan was different; he generally didn't know how to behave properly.

It's human nature to apply double standards, and it's understandable that people apply double standards to themselves and others.

But when Bai Tianyu applied double standards to him, Wang Gan couldn't stand it anymore.

Damn it, he's always the one applying double standards to everyone else!

"How do you know that Bai Tianyu's brothers all have a problem with him?"

Sun Xiaohong came closer and asked curiously.

Wang Gan smiled.
"Heh, you were just an employee in a big organization, but the boss insisted on calling you brother and saying don't be polite and make yourself at home here."

Do you think the boss is sincere or not?

Sun Xiaohong realized what was happening.
"That's definitely what the boss said to make him work harder!"

"They're practically brothers, why would I need to work?"

Wang Gan shrugged.

"This is different from the pure brotherhood among the Eight Righteous Men of the Central Plains, which has no vested interests."

"The power of the Divine Blade Hall rests entirely on Bai Tianyu, and he's the one who decides everything. No one else has a voice, so as for being brothers, they're just paying lip service." Perhaps Bai Tianyu truly believed this, but without equal rights and interests, no one will genuinely consider you a brother. And if you try to use so-called brotherhood to blackmail others, you won't even let them resign.
This sowed the seeds for the later, earth-shattering massacre.

"I had long heard that 'Invincible Divine Blade' Bai Tianyu was domineering in his actions, and seeing it today, it is indeed true."

"The resentment between these brothers has probably run deep enough to become a great feud. If it continues to fester, the consequences will be unimaginable when it finally erupts."

Xie Tianling shook his head and sighed, surprisingly having accurately predicted the future.

A moment later, Bai Tianyong walked in, still smiling, and said to everyone,
"I originally planned to host a grand welcome banquet for you all, but this has happened unexpectedly. I apologize to you all."

"I have prepared room service for you all. Please make your way there."

Wang Gan found it interesting and, taking advantage of Bai Yong leading the way, asked...
"I offended your older brother, and you don't seem to have any problem with me?"

Bai Tianyong laughed.
"I haven't thanked Wuchangshou enough yet, for pointing out my brother's flaws and exposing the petty thoughts of Ma Kongqun."

"You've seen my older brother's personality too; he's the kind of person who doesn't listen to advice. If it weren't for you, he wouldn't listen even if I spoke to him."

"This matter is something my Divine Blade Hall owes you."

Wang Gan looked at him with a different eye.

"You're a good kid, you've got a lot of guts, much better than your older brother."

No wonder Bai Tianyu's behavior is so unreasonable, yet the Divine Blade Hall can still operate on such a large scale and function so well. It turns out that it is this unknown second son of the Bai family who is maneuvering and balancing things out.

"But there's no need to owe anyone a favor; everyone in the martial arts world knows of my reputation as a philanthropist,"

"Just tell me, is there anywhere in this city where we can have fun?"

Wang Gan patted Bai Tianyong on the shoulder, a knowing smile on his face.

We've been rushing all the way, and with Sun Xiaohong by my side, there's been no chance to have any fun. Now that we've reached our destination, we can finally find an opportunity to have some fun!

"Hey! It's no big deal!"

At this point, Bai Tianyong stopped pretending to be cultured and his smile began to spread.

"Brother Wang is indeed a master of this art!"

"Brother Wang, you don't know, but the most unique and famous things here come from Siam and Persia!"

"oh?!"

Wang Gan sighed, and his expression turned serious.

"As expected, this frontier region has seen numerous invasions from foreign races..."

"We, the men of Han, faced with the overwhelming force of this foreign tribe, have no choice but to take up our spears, mount our horses, and dedicate ourselves to our country!"

In the following days, Bai Tianyu did not appear again, and remained in seclusion to cultivate in preparation for the final battle with Hua Zangtian, the leader of the Demonic Sect.

Similarly, Ma Kongqun and the others also disappeared without a trace. It is said that they have been marginalized by the Divine Blade Hall and are even willing to leave the Divine Blade Hall. Bai Tianyu generously let them go.

Bai Tianyu was, after all, a hero. Despite being severely humiliated, he had no intention of eliminating the threat completely. In other words, even if Ma Kongqun and the others held a grudge, he didn't care.

Bai Tianyu was such a strange person; he was autocratic, yet also full of heroic spirit.
In the original story, when he was surrounded and attacked, he had already recognized the identity of one of the people, but because this person had done a chivalrous thing, Bai Tianyu was able to let him go.

As for Ma Kongqun's possible revenge, the key to their ability to kill Bai Tianyu in the original work was to strike unexpectedly. Ma Kongqun launched a sneak attack and seriously injured Bai Tianyu before they could kill him.

Now that Wang Gan has exposed his thoughts, Bai Tianyu is on guard. Given Ma Kongqun and the others' martial arts skills, killing Bai Tianyu is basically a pipe dream.
