The chivalrous spirit is fickle

The fish pond is not peaceful today. The fish is a little too big and we can’t eat it.

Next, the streets returned to peace again. Shi Gu and the other two continued to move towards the hot pot restaurant. Perhaps it was because they scared the killers, but this time there were no fools coming to their door.

After a while, Shi Gu and the other two finally arrived at the hot pot restaurant.

As soon as I entered the store, the waiter came running over and shouted loudly.

"Three distinguished guests, three cups of soup."

As a frequent customer of this hot pot restaurant, Shi Gu walked towards the store very naturally and wanted to sit at the seat he most often went to. However, he had not taken a few steps when the waiter stopped him.

"Boss Shi, Boss Shi, I'm sorry, that position is already occupied today."

Shi Gu, who had just killed eleven people, was in high spirits. He raised his eyebrows and questioned the waiter.

"Why? That's the position I work in most often."

The waiter smiled warmly and answered concisely.

“She gave the money.”

"Ten taels of silver."

Shi Gu immediately turned around, pointed in another direction, and spoke calmly.

"Then you should clean up that table. I think the feng shui of that location is better today."

"Okay, sir, please wait a moment."

The waiter called out and brought Shi Gu and the other two to the round table, where he worked hard to wipe the table clean.

At this time, Shen Yue and Su Xue finally realized that the atmosphere in the hot pot restaurant today was a little unusual.

On weekdays, the customers of this hot pot restaurant are all big and strong men who like to open their clothes to show off their strong muscles.

However, the guests in the building today were not those men, but were filled with a group of people who looked suspicious.

Although they were in the building, some people insisted on wearing straw hats and putting swords on the table. Some people also wore cloaks, which were so long that they dragged on the ground and were covered with footprints.

What's even more strange is that most of the people are holding wine glasses but not drinking. They just put the glasses in their palms and rotate them slightly, with a smile on their faces, as if there is some extraordinary portrait on the glasses.

And at the seat where Shi Gu and the other two usually sat, there sat a little girl who looked no more than ten years old. She had red lips, white teeth, and a delicate face. She was wearing a red dress and a red hood.

"Master, everyone in the store looks so strange today."

Shen Yue asked curiously, but Shi Gu didn't even raise his head. He looked at the menu and spoke nonchalantly.

"Silly girl, do you know what people enjoy doing most when they are walking in the martial arts world?"

Without waiting for Shen Yue to try to answer, Shi Gu gently shook a finger and said.

"He's an expert at pretending."

Chapter 83 Accident (I)

"Pretending to be an expert?"

"good."

"Generally speaking, the easiest way to pretend to be an expert is to wear a straw raincoat and a bamboo hat, and look like someone who just jumped out of a river."

As Shi Gu narrated, Shen Yue's gaze slowly moved and fell on a figure wearing a straw raincoat and a hat not far away. She frowned slightly and said in confusion.

"But... isn't it hot for him to wear this?"

"Could it be that just to look like an expert, you dressed so strangely in such a hot day?"

At the end of her words, Shen Yue let out a long sound with disgust.

"what……"

Shen Yue's voice was not loud, but her pronunciation was clear, and there was almost no one else talking in the entire store, so her voice spread throughout the store.

Thus, everyone's eyes fell on the man in the straw raincoat and hat, torturing his sense of shame.

"cough……"

The man coughed lightly, quickly took off his straw raincoat and bamboo hat, wiped the sweat from his forehead with his hands, and spoke stutteringly.

"Well... I just came back from fishing. Yes, I'm a fisherman, so it's reasonable for me to dress like this."

It is absolutely shameful to be exposed when pretending to be an expert.

Hearing this, no one said anything, but just looked at him with extremely contemptuous eyes. Under such humiliating looks, the man threw down a few copper coins, covered his face and ran away.

The store returned to calm again, but it was a little too quiet.

Gulp, gurgle, gurgle.

There were constant sounds coming from the steaming hot pot, the tripe and green leaves were rolling together, the aroma was fragrant, but no one picked up their chopsticks.

After a moment, a scholar in white clothes took the lead in picking up his chopsticks. He picked up a piece of fish head from the boiling soup, then stood up, looked around and smiled.

"I haven't eaten fish for a long time. Can you give me this fish?"

Hearing this, everyone present frowned. Many of them seemed to recognize the scholar in white. They looked dissatisfied but did not say anything. It seemed that they were quite afraid of this scholar in white.

Shen Yue looked at the scholar, then at the silent Shi Gu, her eyes full of confusion. Su Xue, who was sitting next to her, lowered her voice and spoke to Shi Gu.

"Master...the fish he was talking about...could it be us?"

Shi Gu looked calm, nodded slightly at Su Xue, then pushed the menu to Su Xue and the others and said.

"Don't worry about it, just pick out some dishes you want to eat."

The conversation between the master and his two apprentices could be clearly heard in the store, but this time no one cared about what Shi Gu and the other two were saying.

At this moment, a man in black, as tall as an iron tower, strode in from outside the store, his eyes indifferent, and spoke lightly.

"Master Jiu, this fish is so big, I'm afraid you can't eat it, don't hurt your stomach."

When the white-clothed scholar heard this, his eyes flashed, and he turned to look at the black-clothed man who was walking towards him. He sneered, holding the fish head between his legs, and laughed coldly.

"It's my fault if I can't eat, so I won't bother you."

"If you are unwilling to give in, how about a competition?"

The man in black strode up to the scholar in white, calmly took a pair of chopsticks, and spoke calmly.

"Of course I am unwilling to do so. How can I let someone else snatch such a big fish without shedding blood?"

"Tell me, how do you want to compete? To stop at a certain point, or to decide one life or death?"

The scholar in white raised his head slightly, his eyes gradually became cold, but he spoke slowly.

"Let's just fight to the death, but don't let others take advantage of us. Let's set a time and set out together. If we kill thirty people in this city first, we'll win."

The man in black's eyes flashed, and he suddenly grinned and said.

"You are so arrogant. When it comes to killing people, I am no worse than anyone else."

"We are just fellow jianghu people. We need to set a more precise goal, such as bringing back the heads of thirty children."

During their conversation, the two of them spoke horrifying and terrifying words, completely disregarding human life.

There were not only killers in this store. Several local people from Lin'an became furious when they heard this. A burly man slammed the table and stood up, saying angrily.

"Fuck you, what the hell are you two talking about? You said you would kill people, and you even want to kill children. Lin'an City is not a place for you two bastards to piss."

As he spoke, the sturdy man strode towards the two men, and then punched one of them.

Bang! With a dull sound, the sturdy man flew backwards and hit the counter. The scholar in white and the man in black retracted their fists at the same time without even looking at the sturdy man.

However, the strong man's partner also had a hot temper. Seeing this, he was not afraid at all. He picked up a knife, roared, and rushed forward again.

"Lin'an City, humph."

The scholar in white snorted disdainfully, his right hand already on his waist, while the man in black beside him reached out and grasped the handle of the hot pot, as if he couldn't feel the heat.

The next moment, the man in black raised his hand, and the hot pot was thrown up and hit the man who was rushing towards him. The scholar in white flashed his hand and pulled out a soft sword, cutting the thrown hot pot in half with one sword.

In an instant, the boiling bottom of the pot splashed towards the man who was rushing towards him, splashing his head all over. The man immediately covered his face in pain, screamed loudly, and fell to the ground.

The scholar in white looked down at the fallen man and sneered.

"Lin'an City is the most shameless city I have ever seen."

"You people don't have any qualifications for cultivation. You were born to be stepping stones. The reason you can live comfortably until now is just because we don't want to come here."

"But since we are here, you have to behave like dogs and stop barking. Otherwise, no one in your city can stop us."

"In this city, we can kill anyone we want. How dare a coward like you object?"

As soon as he finished speaking, Shi Gu, who was sitting far away, couldn't help but sigh and put down the chopsticks in his hand.

After so many years, how come these people in the martial arts world are still like this, bullying the weak, bowing their heads when they meet masters, and pretending to be noble when they meet ordinary people.

It's really annoyingly tight.

Except for Shi Gu and the other two, everyone else seemed to agree with the white-robed scholar's words. Before today, they had indeed never seen a strange place like Lin'an City, where there was not a single decent warrior.

This is really a good place where you can be a superior person.

The scholar in white became so excited that he began to speak without thinking, as if he wanted to say all the lofty words he had never had the chance to say in the martial arts world at once.

"You are like rotten mud. It's not a pity to die. It would be an honor for you to die in our hands."

As he spoke, the excited scholar in white pointed his hand at Shen Yue and the other person sitting next to Shi Gu, and spoke loudly.

"If I want, I can make those two girls appear in my bed tonight and serve me well."

Hearing this blatant insult, Shi Gu did not react too much. Instead, he patiently taught Shen Yue and the others.

"There are many people like this in the martial arts world. Before they take action, they will provoke your anger, despise you, and insult you. When you lose your mind and act rashly, you will fall into their trap."

"So, you two must remember that when you meet this kind of person, just treat it as a dog barking. Don't get angry with the dog. It's not worth it."

Hearing this, the white-robed scholar in the distance turned angry and turned to look at Shi Gu, snorting coldly.

"You are so sharp-tongued. I'm afraid you have forgotten that you can't escape even if you have wings."

On the other side, Shi Gu continued to speak to Shen Yue and the others.

"Also, this kind of person actually hasn't been educated much, and doesn't know many words. The words he uses to insult you must have been used by others to insult him."

"He was angry and insulted, and he was so cowardly that he could only remember the insults and use them on others."

"Once he starts to talk loudly and noisily about this kind of love, it means he is getting impatient."

"Well, he's anxious."

As soon as he finished speaking, the place suddenly became quiet, and then everyone burst into laughter and looked at the scholar in white with strange eyes.

Seeing this, the white-robed scholar's face gradually turned ugly. Shi Gu was right. Those words he used to curse others were indeed used by others to curse him.

The scholar in white became furious after being hit in the sore spot. He waved his sleeves suddenly and strode towards Shi Gu. The man in black frowned when he saw this, but did not stop him and followed him.

The scholar in white walked up to Shi Gu with a gloomy face. He raised his right hand and pressed it directly towards Shen Yue, saying in a cold voice.

"you……"

Snapped!

Before the scholar in white could finish his words, a large hand suddenly reached out, pinched his outstretched finger, and twisted it downward.

With a crisp sound of bone breaking, the white-robed scholar's fingers were instantly twisted off and bent downwards.

The scholar in white stopped talking instantly, and looked up in surprise, as if he had forgotten to scream. However, he saw that Shi Gu, who was originally opposite the table, had appeared in front of him in an instant, looking at him calmly.

The black-clothed man saw this, his pupils shrank, and he subconsciously gathered his strength and slammed his palms towards Shi Gu who suddenly appeared.

However, there was a hand that was faster and more powerful than his, and it poured down from above and landed on his head.

Bang!

With a muffled sound, the man in black's body instantly shrank by half his height. He was knocked to his knees by the palm strike, spitting blood from his mouth, unable to utter a word.

Seeing this, the scholar in white seemed to finally remember the pain in his fingers. When he was about to cry out in pain, he forced himself to suppress the painful wail under Shi Gu's gaze.

Shi Gu's eyes were calm, neither happy nor sad, but there was a strange momentum in them, like an overwhelming force, crushing the white-robed scholar's legs, making them go weak.

Suddenly, the person standing in front of him was not a person, but a hideous, bloody, man-eating evil ghost.

In just a moment, the scholar in white and the man in black were easily subdued. This sudden scene shocked everyone in the store.

The girl in red, who had been silent all this time, narrowed her eyes slightly and revealed an intriguing smile.
