Chapter 20 Trouble Has Arrived

  Chu Yang's heart skipped a beat, and when he looked up again, Meng Chaoran's slender figure had quietly disappeared from in front of him. Before leaving, he didn't say another word to Chu Yang, not even a single syllable.

  But that suppressed breath seemed to have been left here, and it didn't disperse for a long time.

  Chu Yang was stunned for a moment, and vaguely felt that Meng Chaoran's heart was very bitter, even to the point where he couldn't imagine it himself. What exactly was it that made this former Tianwai Building genius become like this?

  Master, this knot in his heart, if there's a chance, I must help him untie it!

  Chu Yang took a deep breath, his eyes fixed intently, and with a swift motion, he drew his sword, its energy soaring into the sky!

  This time, the sword practice is from start to finish, one move at a time, one repetition at a time, bitter practice. Having already practiced drawing and sheathing the sword, what's being practiced now is continuity and the effect of combining moves in any order, and then carefully comprehending it again...

  Whether it's guarding the Tianwai Building or finding Mo Qingwu or fulfilling another unspoken wish of Master, one must have real power!

  If you're not strong enough, you'll become an object for others to fulfill their own desires.

  As for the amethyst pendant, Chu Yang simply hung it around his neck. As long as he didn't use his true energy to activate it, it was no different from an ordinary jade pendant.

  Chu Yang's plan was that unless he had completed a stage of cultivation, he would not use the recovery ability inside the jade marrow. As Meng Chaoran said, it is not only useless but also harmful. Over-reliance on external forces is not a good thing...

  Only by using sweat to build, bit by bit with a careful heart to accumulate, is the most solid state, and also has the deepest insight! If one relies solely on external forces, even if their skills improve, but the state will never be reached! That becomes a lifelong regret for oneself, and can no longer be made up for!

  Wu Zong has his own spiritual realm. Staying in it, after contemplating and fully integrating, one can smoothly enter Wu Zun.

  A warrior, even if he suddenly acquires a million years of pure power due to coincidence and luck, but without the corresponding mental state and spiritual coordination, he will not become supreme, still just a warrior!

  He is just a slightly stronger warrior.

  So every step must be solid! Being thrown to the top by others and climbing to the top by oneself... How can they be the same? Being thrown up is to be smashed to death.

  Time flies, at noon when eating, Chu Yang saw Shi Qianshan again. The current Shi Qianshan has a pale face, no spirit, worried and uneasy all over his face.

  Everyone knows that Li Jianyun's matter will not pass so easily. The disciples under the Second Master, even if it's just to flatter their master, must come out and make things right for Li Jianyun.

  It's not here yet, it can only represent that those people are in intense preparation, and it doesn't mean this thing is over...

  Tan Tang was eating chicken legs with gusto, his hands covered in oil. Chu Yang's mood was great, he sat down and started devouring his food like a storm. Only Shi Qian Shan had no appetite at all, forcing himself to eat, but the taste was dull and unappetizing, taking a few bites before sighing heavily.

  Her gloomy eyes kept scanning Chu Yang with a hint of anger that seemed about to erupt.

  "Shi Qianshan! I heard you're quite something? They say you're the top young master of your generation? Hehe, come on out and let's take a look, exchange some moves." Just then, a loud shouting voice came from outside the door, followed by a burst of laughter. From the sound of it, there were at least seven or eight people.

  "Yes indeed! Shi Qian Shan actually dares to claim himself as the number one young master of Tian Wai Lou, it's truly unknown how he writes the word 'death'!"

  "Is he the number one master? Is Shi Qianshan even worthy of that title? Hurry up and come out to beg for mercy on your knees!"

  ……

  Trouble has finally arrived. The evil consequences that Chu Yang had sown for Shi Qian Shan have actually erupted so early, something even Chu Yang did not expect.

  Shi Qianshan's face changed color and turned pale. Immediately, he gave Chu Yang a fierce glare.

  "The youngest top-notch" were the words shouted out by Chu Yang that day. At the time, Shi Qianshan was still smug, but only later did he realize that it was actually a quagmire from which one could not pull their legs out! But by then it was already too late...

  At this moment, hearing these few words was like a knife cutting into his heart.

  What an exquisite irony!

  And it's also the biggest trouble for Tianwai Building. Among the current eighth-generation disciples, who is not extremely sensitive to these two words 'first'? The position of the Great Master Brother! The belonging of the place where the seven yin converge...

  These fellow disciples didn't dare to come and look for trouble, to avenge Li Jianyun, but what Chu Yang said provided them with an excellent excuse.

  The sect has always been tacitly approved of the ranking disputes among its disciples. Shi Qianshan can imagine that there will be endless troubles coming to find himself...

  Chu Yang lowered his head to eat, seemingly not hearing the curses outside or noticing Shi Qianshan's venomous gaze. In his heart, however, he sneered: "You bastard, if I don't make you, this fake gentleman, die a miserable death in this life, it would be a waste of my rebirth..."

  Outside, eight young men were all dressed in green clothes, but they had a red ribbon tied around their waists and a red ring on the cuffs. This was the emblem of the Su Yunfeng disciples. Just like Chu Yang's Zi Zhu Garden, which was a purple ribbon.

  At this moment, eight people looked at Shi Qianshan who walked out, and their eyes were all filled with anger.

  Li Jianyun is the only son of Li Jingsong, and he is spoiled by nature. He doesn't get along with his senior and junior fellow disciples, but that's one thing. When he gets bullied by outsiders, although they may not necessarily be happy about it in their hearts, it doesn't stop them from taking advantage of the situation to stand up for Li Jianyun.

  What a great opportunity to flatter!

  "It turned out that Liu Shixiong and Qu Shixiong had arrived in person. Shi Qianshan was remiss in welcoming them from afar." Shi Qianshan's face looked unpleasant, but he still bowed respectfully and said.

  "Shi Qianshan, you can't live up to the title of 'older brother' Liu." The Liu brother sneered and said sharply: "You are the youngest top master of Tianwai Building, how dare I, with my humble cultivation, be called the older brother of Shi Da?"

  As expected, he's indeed the 'Number One Master of the Younger Generation'!

  Shi Qianshan's face turned even uglier. He had already hated Chu Yang to death in his heart, and now he suddenly thought: Could it be that when Chu Yang said those words back then, it was just to leave them an excuse to pick a fight?

  This Liu brother is about thirty years old, named Liu Yunyan, and is the eldest disciple of Li Jinsong. The Qu brother's name is Qu Ping, twenty-seven or eight years old, ranking second. The remaining people are all their fellow disciples. At this moment, hearing Liu Yunyan say so, they all burst out laughing.

  "Shi Qian Shan, come on out, I'll take a look at the skills of this number one master!" Qu Ping stepped forward, hand on the hilt of his sword, gazing at Shi Qian Shan.

  "I'm no match for Brother Qu...” Shi Qianshan hastily humbled himself. Joking aside, how could he dare to make a move now? The other side had eight people, Liu Yunyan was ranked higher than him, and Qu Ping along with the other six were only slightly lower, but not by much. Since they came looking for trouble on purpose, how could he let them have it easy?

  Once you make a move, you'll probably be beaten into a pig's head!

  As for Tan Lang and Chu Yang... their abilities are too weak, they can't be relied on... it's like one person against eight!

  Shi Qianshan felt like crying.

  Shi Qian Shan didn't move his hands, but that didn't mean he was going to let the situation drag on like this with Qu Ping. Suddenly, a loud "clang" rang out, and a long sword flashed out of its scabbard, shining brightly in the light. In an instant, there was a sharp "slap", followed by a muffled "thud", and then a series of dull thuds...

  It turned out that Qu Ping didn't say a word, and as soon as he made his move, he slapped Shi Qianshan with a loud slap on the ear, followed by a kick in the small belly. Both the slap and the kick were quite forceful, and Shi Qianshan took two hits from the opponent without dodging or evading, only feeling abdominal pain like being strangled, and sat down on the ground with a thud.

  Shi Qianshan knew that as long as he didn't fight back, being beaten by the other party would only be a beating, and nothing serious would happen. But if he fought back, it would be hard to say whether he could survive today or not. So facing the other party's attack, he gritted his teeth and endured it.

  "This son of a bitch actually dared to hit me!" The one who was punched, Qu Ping, suddenly shouted out in anger: "Damn it, it hurts so much! Indeed worthy of being the number one young master of Tian Wai Building, brothers, we're in danger, hurry up and save us..."

  "Bad, Second Brother is at a disadvantage! Up!"

  "Hurry, go save Second Master...!" Liu Yunyan's eyes flashed, and he cried out in a very flustered manner.

  At the shout, six people rushed up like a swarm of bees and punched and kicked Shi Qianshan on the ground, with the sound of wind whistling, fists hitting flesh, shouting "How dare you hit my Second Brother!"

  "Alright, let's have a fair fight, but Shi Qianshan actually resorts to underhanded tactics!"

  "Beat this shameless guy to death..."

  Someone even shouted while fighting: "Shi Qianshan, you rely on being in the Purple Bamboo Garden, and you are so arrogant... You, you, you, stop your hands... Second brother, second brother, are you okay?"

  Listening to this voice, it sounds like Qu Ping is about to be beaten to death...

  Qu Ping gritted his teeth and kicked Shi Qianshan's body one foot at a time, wailing miserably: "It hurts! I'm going to die... Shi Qianshan, you're so ruthless..."

  On the ground, Shi Qian Shan was still wailing and begging for mercy at first, but slowly, with a few cracking sounds, his body curled up together and he fainted...

  Seven people still didn't feel relieved, and they continued to fight for a while before stopping. Everyone was panting heavily. Qu Ping wiped the sweat and said: "It's really close, that scoundrel Shi Qianshan almost killed me..."

  "Yes indeed! This Shi Qianshan is really ruthless and venomous!" Someone beside him chimed in.

  Tan Tang's eyes had all turned red, but just as he was about to rush out, he was pulled back by Chu Yang. With so many people on the other side, Tan Tang rushing up would be of no use. He could only be beaten like Shi Qian Shan... Besides, Shi Qian Shan being beaten, what a delightful and pleasant thing, how could it be ruined...

  In the distant bamboo forest's dark shadows, Meng Chao Ran let out a deep sigh, gazing bleakly at Shi Qian Shan who was unconscious on the ground, his eyes as cold as ice and snow, piercingly chilly!

  Ticket!
