The chivalrous spirit is fickle

Shigu breathed a sigh of relief as if a heavy burden had been lifted from his shoulders, reached out and slapped the little girl's hand away, and spoke to Su Xue and Shen Yue with a relaxed look on his face.

"It's okay, this is Master's friend."

"It's called Tianluo Sword Li Ran."

"My real name is Li Ergou."

Hearing this, Shen Yue and the other person's expressions became even stranger, and they looked at Shi Gu with eyes full of suspicion.

"No, why do you two look like that? Can the master still lie to you two?"

Su Xue spoke first, her big eyes full of doubt.

"Master, we are not fools. We have heard of the name of Tianluo Sword."

Tianluo Jian, one of the ten most handsome men in the martial arts world, is said to be handsome and resembles Pan An.

Even if Shen Yue and the others were kicked in the head by a donkey, they would not think that the cute little girl in front of them was the legendary handsome Tianluo Sword.

Shi Gu's breath stopped and he was also a little confused. In his memory, Li Ergou was indeed a handsome young man. If it weren't for the familiarity between old friends and the scar on his chest, Shi Gu would not have been able to recognize him.

"Yeah, Ergou, how did you become like this?"

Hearing this, Tianluo Sword Li Ran gently patted his snow-white hands, looked at Shi Gu with a mocking expression, and said coldly.

"Do you remember that when you and I went treasure hunting, we obtained the inheritance of a congenital master?"

"There are two top-level skills in total, "Roaring Sun" and "Dark Moon."

Shi Gu nodded. He remembered that this happened, but he didn't take the two sets of skills seriously. After getting one set of skills, he threw it in a corner to collect dust and never practiced it.

"That's true. I also said that Dark Moon has the effect of rejuvenating people, so I gave you the Dark Moon!"

Li Ran twitched the corner of his mouth, stared at Shi Gu and said with gritted teeth.

"Damn it, it's because I practiced that Dark Moon that I became what I am now."

"I used to be a good man, but now I've become a ghost. How are you going to compensate me?"

"..."

The scene suddenly fell into dead silence. Facing Li Ran's murderous gaze, Shi Gu was stunned and could only look away guiltily.

However, Shen Yue and Su Xue, who were standing by, had their eyes brightened and looked very interested, as if they had heard something interesting.

After a moment, Shi Gu gave a few awkward dry laughs and said sheepishly.

"Oh, this technique can really rejuvenate you. You look much younger than before."

“So young, hahaha…haha…ha.”

After the awkward laughter, Li Ran's face had turned red, like a small red apple, which matched her delicate eyebrows and eyes, making her look very cute.

Shi Gu wanted to say something nice to calm his old friend, but looking at Li Ran's expression, he couldn't help but grinned and laughed out loud.

"You know what, you're much more pleasing to the eye now than before."

"Shi, I'm going to fight you today!"

Li Ran was furious. He slammed the table with one hand and then slapped with his palm. A strong wind suddenly arose, and the strong wind pressure blew Shi Gu's hair straight away. Shi Gu's eyelids jumped, and he moved his palm with one hand. A ball of black mist wrapped around his palm and attacked forward.

Bang! After a muffled sound, Li Ran did not move, but several lines of fire appeared on the chair under him, entwining and cutting the chair into several pieces in an instant.

Shi Gu was calm and composed. He slowly withdrew his hand and spoke hypocritically.

"You've already hit me, and now it's over. I can't be blamed for this, so stop being unreasonable, Ergou."

Li Ran glared at Shi Gu coquettishly. It was obvious that she did not really hate Shi Gu. It was just a joke between old friends. However, her coquettish look made Shi Gu's heart flutter.

Damn, that Dark Moon technique seems to have a charming effect.

Li Ran found a chair to sit down again, asked the waiter for a pot of wine, stopped making noise, and spoke to Shi Gu with a worried look on his face.

"It's true that you can't be blamed for this. I want to practice this technique myself, so I can't blame anyone else."

"But brother, I have a family. How am I going to live in the future?"

Shi Gu remembered that Li Ran did have a wife, who was his childhood sweetheart and grew up with him. The two were very much in love. Moreover, that woman was also a master, a true master of the ninth level of martial arts, one level higher than Li Ran.

Out of curiosity, Shi Gu couldn't help but ask Li Ran.

"What's your guy's reaction now?"

Hearing this, Li Ran's breath stopped, and a trace of sadness appeared in his eyes, sad and lonely, aggrieved and desperate.

He poured himself a bowl of wine, his facial features twisted in pain, but he just looked like a cute little girl making a face.

"When my man saw me like this, he was...he was...very excited."

Shi Gu's body tilted. He had already prepared for the worst and listened to Li Ran's tragic experience, but he didn't expect to hear such a strange thing.

Li Ran didn't notice at all that the expressions of Shi Gu and the other two had frozen. He opened up completely and told them all the grievances he had suffered over the years.

"You don't know, she changes my skirt every day and buys me a bellyband, dressing me up like a little girl."

"She also touched me all over, even more shameless than a hooligan. This is clearly what I should do to her, but now I can't resist her at all."

"She touched my face, my chest, my legs..."

"At night... she became very violent. She threw me on the bed, roughly tore open my skirt, and stroked my body from top to bottom, all the way to my belly button."

"And then...and then...and then she...she actually...actually..."

At this point, Li Ran was so grief-stricken that she could no longer speak. Her face turned red, and her delicate little face was full of humiliation, as if she had been bullied by a bad guy.

With a feeling of grievance welling up in his heart, Li Ran actually lay on the table, buried his little face in his arms, and sobbed softly.

"Brother, I'm not clean anymore."

Shi Gu patted Li Ran's shoulder sympathetically, and then comforted him softly.

"Well, can you tell me more about the evening part?"

Chapter 85 Brothers and Sisters

Li Ran rejected Shi Gu's request and called him "obscene". Then he started to feel sorry for himself again, holding the wine bottle, as sad as a weaned kid.

Seeing this, Shi Gu did not disturb Li Ran, but turned to Su Xue and Shen Yue and spoke.

"Don't worry about him. He's just like that. He'll recover after a while."

Shen Yue and the other two looked at Li Ran, who looked like a little loli, and were amazed.

"Master, is there such a magical technique in this world?"

"Bravo."

Shi Gu waved his hand nonchalantly and spoke lightly.

"It's normal. No martial arts in this world is perfect. They all have some side effects."

"But these side effects will only appear after you have cultivated to the highest level, so don't be fooled by the majesty of those martial arts masters. In fact, they all have their own troubles."

Su Xue was shocked when she heard this and said in surprise.

"Master, you just said that all the skills in this world have side effects?"

Shi Gu nodded slightly, picked up the chopsticks, dipped them in a little wine, drew a crooked circle on the table, and spoke casually.

"Yes, there is no perfect method in this world."

"All the creators of martial arts are like blindfolded and drawing a circle on the ground. The more perfect the circle is, the stronger the martial arts will be."

"But unfortunately, no one has yet been able to draw a perfect circle on the ground that connects end to end."

Shigu touched the crooked circle with his chopsticks.

“And those of us who practice are just following the paths drawn by our predecessors, and we will eventually reach that imperfect connection point.”

"You see these two lines seem to be connected together, but in fact they are just repeating the same mistakes, overlapping and pressed together. This is not a line that is connected from beginning to end."

"Instead, there are two strands pressed together, one above and one below, with the ends disconnected from each other."

"At this point, the side effects of those techniques will be exposed."

Shen Yue and Su Xue listened attentively without saying a word. At this moment, Li Ran, who was supposed to be drinking alone, squints his eyes and retorts unconvinced.

"Nonsense, when did you become qualified to accept a disciple?"

"Look at her, she is the undisputed number one in the martial arts world. Can you tell me what side effects her skills have? Are there any?"

Listening to Li Ran's questioning, Shi Gu's eyes flickered, and a complex emotion flashed across his face, then he gave a bitter smile and sighed in defeat.

"There must be something wrong with her technique, but I haven't found it yet."

Li Ran shook his little head like a rattle, rolled his watery eyes, and said.

"If you haven't found it yet, don't shut up and drink with me. You are such a grown-up, but you don't have any sense at all."

Upon hearing this, Shi Gu snatched the wine jug from Li Ran, frowned and sighed.

"Stop drinking."

"You have a low alcohol tolerance and even worse drinking habits. If you continue drinking, I'm afraid you'll urinate on the street."

"Don't forget, you are a little girl wearing a skirt now, have some sense of shame."

Li Ran's breath caught when he heard this, and then he rubbed his face with his two little hands, muttering reluctantly.

"You can actually take care of others now."

"Hey, the sun is really rising from the west."

Shi Gu no longer paid attention to Li Ran. After all, it felt strange to let him chat with a little girl who looked no more than ten years old, especially since this little girl looked drunk.

So, Shi Gu left Li Ran and turned to chat with Shen Yue. When Shen Yue and Su Xue got together, they always talked a lot and could make any trivial matter very interesting to Shi Gu.

I'm not afraid of being bored when I'm with these two people.

After a while, the red soup in the hot pot gradually boiled, the tripe rolled in the water, and the large pieces of mutton turned gray, emitting bursts of fragrance.

Shi Gu and the other two didn't care about Li Ran who was still sobering up, and started eating directly with their chopsticks. Especially Shi Gu, he lowered his voice and spoke to his two disciples.

"Eat quickly, eat quickly, and run away after you're done. Leave the money for this bill to Li Ergou to pay."

"This guy is a rich man."

As Shi Gu was speaking, he stretched out his chopsticks to pick up the slices of meat in the hot pot. However, before his chopsticks entered the pot, Li Ran suddenly looked up, stretched out his chopsticks and grabbed Shi Gu's chopsticks.

As their eyes met, Shi Gu couldn't help but smacking his lips.

"Tsk, how come you sobered up so quickly this time?"

Li Ran's face flushed slightly, and he was obviously not completely sober yet. But he was no longer as carefree as before. He looked at Shi Gu seriously and spoke softly.

"I can treat you to this meal and give you a lot of money, but I want you to do me a favor."

Shi Gu was a little surprised and his expression became serious. He put down his chopsticks and spoke slowly.

"Tell me, I'll see if I can be of any help."

Li Ran ignored Shi Gu's jokes and spoke word by word.

"I want the dragon bone in your hand."

Upon hearing this, Shi Gu's face changed, and then he narrowed his eyes slightly with a complicated expression.

"What if I don't give it?"

Li Ran sighed when he heard that, rubbed his forehead in distress, and smiled bitterly.

"We are friends. If you really don't want to give it to me, I won't do anything to you. But I really need this dragon bone."

"I can offer 100,000 taels, which is all my wealth. If you are willing, then everyone will be happy."

Shi Gu glanced at Su Xue who was sitting next to him, and Su Xue felt a little uneasy. She stretched out her little hand and secretly grabbed the corner of Shi Gu's clothes. The dragon bone had been embedded in Su Xue's body. It was not impossible to remove it, but that would completely cut off Su Xue's path of cultivation.

Thinking of this, Shi Gu didn't think much about it and replied calmly.

"Feel sorry."

"I can't promise you that."

Li Ran was stunned when he heard this, but he no longer insisted. He reached out and grabbed the wine jug, took a sip of the wine, and then said in a low voice with loss.

"Damn it, why you?"
