The chivalrous spirit is fickle

"Xiaoxue didn't say anything stupid, why should I hit her?"

"All those books of yours were thrown away by Xiaoxue..."

Without waiting for Shen Yue to finish, Su Xue grabbed Shen Yue by the collar and said through gritted teeth.

"You are so loyal, Shen Yue."

Bang! Su Xue was also punched on the head, and Shen Yue was immediately satisfied and stopped making noise.

Shi Gu was a little unsatisfied and wanted to punch Su Xue's little head. He had spent a lot of effort to steal those books, so they were very valuable.

Su Xue sensed Shi Gu's idea, and she dodged and hid behind Shen Yue, as if to say, if you want to hit me, you have to hit Shen Yue too.

Shi Gu thought for a long time but couldn't think of an excuse to punch Shen Yue on the head again, so he had no choice but to give up and turned to look at the field to watch the fight between those warriors.

The rules for robbing ships are simple. Except for the big ship, each ship can only be selected by one person, and this person can take other people on board.

The selected boat is like a ring. The first person who chooses the boat is responsible for closing the ring, and the winner becomes the new closeer.

Shi Gu watched from a distance for a long time and found that there were still some warriors of the seventh rank in the ancient city. Those people chose the big ships without any prior agreement. The rest did not dare to challenge those seventh rank warriors, so they set their sights on those small boats.

After Su Xue looked around, she casually asked Shi Gu.

"Master, which boat shall we take?"

Shi Gu touched the human skin mask on his face, smiled slightly, and spoke to Shen Yue and Su Xue in a free and easy manner.

"You two make your choice. If you want to take the big ship, I'll go beat up those seventh-rank warriors one by one."

"If you want to take the boat, then you two can go down and challenge me."

Upon hearing this, Shen Yue and Su Xue's eyes lit up at the same time, and they rubbed their hands together. They had just learned some new things in Daming Mountain City, so naturally they wanted to personally take part in the activities.

"For this kind of thing, there's no need for you to come, Master. The two of us can do it."

"Well, then you two go ahead."

Shen Yue and Su Xue looked at each other, and then moved at the same time. They pointed their toes and rose into the air from the crowd and flew into the arena.

Both of them were wearing white shirts and holding folding fans. Su Xue was carrying a black sword case. With their appearance of women dressed as men, they really looked like elegant young men who had lived through the troubled times and were extremely handsome.

In an instant, the eyes of the women in the crowd fell on Shen Yue and the other person.

After the two men landed, Su Xue took the lead in walking towards one of them. She did not draw her sword, but instead tightly grasped the folding fan in her hand and strode forward.

Su Xue is, after all, the daughter of Baijie Sect. Although she has not had a happy life over the years, her posture and walk are all graceful and elegant, and she looks like a handsome and elegant young man.

Unlike Shen Yue, who obviously has a good appearance and is dressed in the same way, but wherever she stands she looks like a playboy, sloppy and unruly.

The woman next to Jin Buwan glanced and saw Su Xue, and couldn't help but look at her a few more times. Seeing this, Jin Buwan also became interested, sat up, and looked at Su Xue with interest.

However, on the big ship, a middle-aged man looked at Su Xue on the dock and snorted with disdain.

"A flowery pillow is usually a straw bag."

The seventh-rank warrior on the side heard this and smiled at each other. It was not surprising. The strong man was named Huang Shan. Because of his ugly appearance, he suffered a lot of unfair treatment when he was young, so he was prejudiced against young and handsome men.

A white-haired old man stood by the boat and persuaded gently.

"Friend Huang, don't be so angry. I think this young man is quite good. He might be able to make a big splash."

Huang Shan glanced at the white-haired old man, frowned, and said nothing more. The white-haired old man's name was Jiu Shi, and he was the only seventh-grade peak warrior on the ship. He had to be given some face.

Seeing that Huang Shan stopped talking, Jiu Shi nodded with satisfaction. He was not a kind elder, but he liked to use this kind of admonishing tone to make others submit.

"Look, that good-looking boy is so blind that he actually chose Mr. Jiu's son."

Hearing this, Jiu Shi looked over hurriedly, and sure enough, the opponent chosen by Su Xue was Jiu Shi’s youngest son, Jiu Huo, who was also the strongest among the group of fourth-grade warriors below.

Seeing this, Jiu Shi burst out laughing. He was very confident in his youngest son and thought that no one of the same generation in the ancient city could defeat him. It was obvious that others thought so too.

"There's no need to watch this match. Mr. Jiu's son will definitely win."

"Yes, I have seen that every time this guy attacks, it is always clean and neat. I think this young master's chance of winning is less than 10%."

The people on the boat seemed to have seen the ending and they all praised Jiu Shi's son Jiu Huo.

Jiu Shiting was happy, but he still had to bow and sigh.

"Thank you for your praise. My kid is useless and doesn't care about his cultivation. If I were to say, he would lose this match."

"No, no, Mr. Jiu is too modest. I, Li, dare to make a conclusion that Jiushi will win without any suspense."

Jiu Shi laughed even more happily, the wrinkles on his face smoothed out a little, and he spoke politely.

"My fellow Taoists, please don't praise this kid too much. There is always someone better than you. This kid is just a nobody. The more you praise him, the worse it will be when he loses."

Upon hearing this, everyone started to flatter him again, and their words of praise were more disgusting than the last, as if they were describing Jiuhuo as a celestial being.

And in this hypocritical courtesy, Su Xue was already standing in front of Jiu Huo and bowed.

According to the etiquette of the martial arts world, Jiu Huo should have bowed in return and introduced himself to Su Xue together, but Jiu Huo did not return the gift. Instead, he looked at Su Xue coldly with a gloomy expression.

Jiu Huo was not happy. He originally wanted to board the big ship, but the old man in his family refused to take him with him and insisted that he come here to do this kind of thing like closing the competition.

He knew that it was his old man who wanted to show off, but he still felt a little unhappy.

Do I have to stand with these mud-legged people to show my strength? How ridiculous! They are just a group of barefoot men, mud-like people, how can they be qualified to stand with me?

Jiu Huo glanced at Su Xue and felt even more annoyed. This pretty boy actually dared to challenge him. He must destroy this disgusting face.

In such a state of mind, Jiu Huo naturally disdained to return the gift to Su Xue. He even put his hands behind his back and sneered.

Seeing that the other party did not return the gift, Su Xue remained calm and focused on regulating her breathing and luck.

A long time ago, Shi Gu told her that every young man who first entered the world of martial arts felt that he was invincible, but after just three years, he would find that he could not make any progress in the world of martial arts.

Whether the other party is arrogant or conceited, it is the most common thing.

Su Xue did not draw her sword, but held the folding fan and spoke softly to Jiu Huo.

"Brother, please teach me."

Jiu Huo became even more disdainful upon hearing this. Without saying anything else, he took a step forward, raised a spear, and stabbed straight forward.

The spear brought up a cold light, dust rose up, and the dove stepped on the dust and came straight towards me.

Su Xue looked calm. Holding the folding fan in one hand, she stepped forward and used the fan as a knife to meet the enemy.

The spear was sharp, and he stabbed and thrust at an extremely fast speed. In his hand, the spear seemed like his own limbs. He stepped forward and swung the spear, his hands quickly crossed, and the spear body quickly rotated around his wrist like a flower.

The gunfire was whistling, and Su Xue used her fan as a knife. She moved in a strange manner and blocked shot after shot. She seemed to be at a disadvantage, only able to defend but not attack. Her brows were slightly furrowed, and she seemed to be struggling.

Why does this guy make so many useless movements? Is he here to perform?

Su Xue frowned as she thought, the tip of the spear suddenly stabbed at her. She took a light step, letting the spear whiz past her face. Jiu Huo snorted coldly, holding the spear with both hands, and swept it towards Su Xue.

The spear drew a semicircle in an instant, opening and closing like autumn wind sweeping fallen leaves, but it fell into empty space. Su Xue's figure retreated half a step at some point, just in time for the spear to sweep across.

Jiu Huo was startled for a moment, then became even more angry. He shook his wrist, and the tip of the gun suddenly turned into five shadows. He hurried forward, aimed at Su Xue's chest, and intended to kill her.

Su Xue retreated quickly and was in a retreat for a while, while Jiu Huo approached her and chased after her, refusing to give in even a bit.

On the big ship, Jiushi nodded with satisfaction, as if he had seen the ending.

However, the next moment, Su Xue suddenly stopped, exerted force on her feet, and stepped hard. A force followed the wooden board under her feet, instantly reached Jiuhu's feet, and then surged out.

Bang! The wooden board broke, Jiuhu's feet were empty, his body was unstable, and the gun was also deviated. Su Xue flashed, her body brushed against the gun, and arrived in an instant.

Jiu Huo only felt a flash before his eyes, and then the folding fan instantly came to his neck and pressed against his throat. In an instant, a chill rose.

If this was a knife, would I be dead?

No! No! How could I lose! How could I lose to this pretty boy!

Su Xue had no idea what Jiu Huo was thinking. She just looked at Jiu Huo quietly, slowly put away her folding fan, and then clasped her fists and bowed.

"Accepted."

After saying that, Su Xue passed by Jiu Huo and walked towards a small boat. Jiu Huo's facial features twisted, and then a hint of resentment flashed in his eyes. He turned around and shouted, and the spear shot out in an instant, stabbing at Su Xue's back.

"rat!"

Right! The other party must have used some despicable means, there is no way I can lose!

The stab was extremely brutal and was a fatal move.

Su Xue turned around suddenly, and pointed her finger like a knife at the tip of the gun.

Ding~

With a sound of piercing sound, the sword energy emerged, and the spear stopped at Su Xue's fingertips, unable to move forward, and the spear body bent into a dangerous arc under the huge force.

Pah! With a crisp sound, the gun body broke into countless strips. Jiuhu's pupils shrank slightly, and he looked at what he saw in front of him in disbelief.

Su Xue still looked neither happy nor sad, she just gently pushed her fingers forward.

Bang! The gun body completely shattered and turned into sawdust flying all over the sky. Su Xue no longer looked at Jiuhu, and turned around again, leaving behind a back view.

Jiuhuo looked at the flying wood chips, his face turned pale, as if he had lost all his strength, and collapsed to the ground.

All this happened in a flash, from Jiuhuo's sudden defeat to his furious surprise attack, both happened so fast that it was frightening. It was not until this moment that a cry of disbelief was heard from the crowd.

"How is it possible... I didn't even see the invitation, how did Jiuhu lose?"

"Amazing! This young man is not only good-looking, but also very capable."

"Hey, the number one young man in the ancient city is just bullshit."

While the crowd was talking, there was a dead silence on the ship. Jiushi had a gloomy look on his face as he stood by the ship. The side of the ship that he was pressing with his hands was crushed into powder.

The higher you praise someone, the more broken they will be when they fall.

The people around were also silent for a moment, and then someone tried to help Jiuhu out.

"You may have underestimated your opponent, otherwise you wouldn't have lost."

"That's right, it was a deliberate plan. That person must have come prepared."

"Well, you have to be careful when sparring. If you don't use some killer moves, when it comes to a life-and-death fight, it's still unclear who will lose."

When Jiu Shi heard this, his expression eased a little, but when he looked at Su Xue, there was a bit more resentment in his eyes.

Suddenly, amid the sounds of people coming to the rescue, a discordant voice was heard.

"How can you say that? Even though that young man looks like a fool, his strength is real." Huang Shan frowned and did not agree with everyone else.

He was a straightforward person who didn't like those good-looking people to be true, but he was also unwilling to falsify the results of this competition.

Chapter 19: Inherited

"This person held back twice, his killing intent was released and retracted freely, and he was clearly at ease during the fight. Although he looks like a playboy, his strength is not bad."

Huang Shan talked to everyone on the boat, but he did not hide his dislike for Su Xue. He hated those good-looking guys, but he would not lie about such things.

Everyone was silent. They could obviously see the gap between Jiu Huo and Su Xue. They only said those insincere words to save Jiu Huo's face.

But Huang Shan spoke the truth so directly that it made them feel a little embarrassed.

"What Mr. Huang said is absolutely right. That useless guy in my family lost this duel."

Just when everyone was feeling embarrassed, Jiu Shi's expression returned to normal. He bowed slightly and gave everyone a wry smile.

"Thank you all for making excuses for me, but a loss is a loss. My kid is not as skilled as others. I think he doesn't need to go to the martial arts conference in Huiyin City this time. He would be embarrassing for me anyway."

As he spoke, Jiushi turned his head and looked behind him. A tall man stepped forward and lowered his head slightly.

"master."

Jiu Shi's eyes were cold and he spoke in a deep voice to the tall man.

"Take that good-for-nothing back and make him stay in seclusion for three years. Don't come out and embarrass me until you reach the fifth level of martial arts."

"Yes, master."

"Hurry up, the ship will leave in an hour, don't miss the time to board."

"Yes, disciple knows."

The tall man's eyes flashed, he came forward and whispered to Jiushi.

"Master, do you want me to go down and teach that kid a lesson?"

Jiu Shi was somewhat tempted, but then he frowned and shook his head.

"Forget it. If you take action, others will say that we can't afford to lose. If you beat the younger one, the older one will come."
