Chen Xingyu is usually someone elseâs master; he did not like someone else to be his master.
For people in higher positions than him or people who are stronger than him, he regards them as âfatherâ.
The most he can do is let them be his âfatherâ,but being his âmasterâ is impossible.
You see, Chen Xingyu has great pride and dignity. Even he has his own integrity.
âMaster Yan Xiangma.â A guy chewing a sugar cane grass in his mouth introduced himself like so.
Chen Xingyu was both angry and happy, initially angry initially then his anger transformed into joy.
Angry that the jerk had the nerve to refer to himself as his âmasterâ.
He crossed the line!
Happy that he doesnât know who Yan Xiangma is. He has never heard of this man at all.
Heâs easy to bully!
The current society is exactly like that. If someone irritated you, your first reaction would be to think whether this person could be easily dealt withâit would not be wise to kick a steel plate. Chen Xingyu would never do such a silly thing.
Chen Xingyuâs eyes widen in anger, glaring with a cold, arrogant glint in his eyes. âWho is the little brat? To dare to speak insolently.â
Yan Xiangma walked over to Li Shinianâs side and gazed at the girlâs beautiful face and her resolute eyes, asking: âAre you alright?
âIâm fine.â Li Shinian said shaking her head. With a smile on her lips, she surveyed Yan Xiangma. Although she was not familiar with this man but meeting an old acquaintance is a happy thing. Tiandu, this city made her felt too unfamiliar, without sense of safeness and security at all.
âIâm glad.â Yan Xiangmaâs lips curved into a smile, the familiar mischievous grin. âFrom now on, leave your safety to me.â
âI definitely wonâtâ-â
âItâs decided.â Yan Xiangma interrupted Li Shinianâs refusal, uttering in an imperious voice.
He knows that if he gave this girl an opportunity, she can turn him to pieces. In her mind, besides her idiot brother, there are no other good men in the worldâI am clearly more handsome and smarter than Li Muyang by hundreds of times, right? Strange, why do I have to compare myself to Li Muyang? We are not even at the same level, right?
After confirming that Li Shinian was not hurt, he twisted around and his eyes swept over Chen Xingyu as he asked with a smile: âyouâre a retard, right?â
âWhat are you talking about?â Chen Xingyu was boiling with fury, his hand clenched tightly onto the handle of the sword.
âIf your intelligence is normal, you should know that Iâm an adult. Also an adult whoâs older than you. What do you mean when you said âwhose child is thatâ? Donât tell me you usually describe yourself as a âchildâ? This kind of shameless thing, a normal person would never do it.â
âIâm donât hit women, so I can let her go this once.â Chen Xingyuâs eyebrows-like-scimitars raised while the sword in his hand swung up to Yan Xiangmaâs chest, âHowever, for a ruffian like you, I will not let them offâDraw your sword.â
âYou want to kill me?â
âDraw your sword.â
âI see your breathing is steady and calm, and your eyes look determined; you seems like someone whoâs adept at sword fighting.â
âDraw your sword.â
âYour voice is powerful and not angry; your sword qi is faintly concealed. It seems like you are someone who cultivates.â
âDraw your sword.â
âAlso, the way you lift up your sword horizontally with the tip slightly trembling is the standard âwild geese over the calm sandâ style of lifting a sword; you should have a little connection with the Changbai sect. What is your relationship with the Lui clan?â
âWhat? Are you scared so you donât dare to draw your sword?â Chen Xingyu sneered. He kept his identity well hidden, why would his real identity be known? How could he show off pompously in front of ordinary people in the future?
However, this feeling of his identity being exposed publicly felt pretty good. He liked it.
âWhat I want to say isââ Yan Xiangmaâs eyes narrowed looking at Chen Xingyu, his playful expression suddenly turned stern. âConceited little trash like you who thinks too much of himself but actually has no ability or background, I can handle ten with one hand.â
âDie.â Chen Xingyu thrust forward with his sword, splitting into three strikes that directly pierced towards Yan Xiangmaâs face, chest and throat, the three strategic locations.
Yan Xiangma stood still until he felt the qi of the sword and the edge of the blade was on the verge of piercing through his skin when he suddenly punched out.
Whooshâ
Red flames erupted like a ball of fire ignited in the sky.
The ball of red flame burned with a shrill hissing sound while a white mist filled the air.
The mist temporary shrouded the two and then instantly dissipated into nothing.
Chen Xingyu used Changbaiâs division Lui clanâs âAutumn water swordâ technique, one sword stroke that agitates the autumn water that even the heavens cannot move.
He thought that his sword stroke would assure his victory, would pierce three holes on the chest of Yan Xiangma, this shameless man, and then he would deliberately pin him with the crime of provocation at the school gate and throw him into prisonâHe has this kind of ability.
Just when he was wondering how to deal with the follow-up of thisincident, an even more breathtaking and majestic power suddenly gushed towards his face.
No, not just his face. Like an invisible blazing wall of qi, it completely blocked his whole body, forcing him to stagger backwards at a rapid speed, as though a slightly slower speed he would be burned into ashes and mist.
Chen Xingyu felt his body rising into the air and then falling heavily to the ground.
Bang-
His butt was first to slam against the floor, then his back and head.
His butt nearly split open, his spine about to crack and his head felt heavy and dizzy as though he has been severely beaten up.
His thighs were the last to drop to the ground but without too much damage.
Chen Xingyu breathed in short, difficult breaths, wrinkling his nose as the burning smell filled his nose.
He tried hard to get up from the ground but a mouthful of blood spurted out.
What made him felt most terrified was that the blade of his sword in his hand had vanished, leaving behind only the sword hilt, which was tossed away when he could not bear the intense heat from the sword and because he felt his hands were going to be steamed.
This guy, who is he really? How can he be at such a profound level of cultivation?
All the spectatorâs eyes lit up, many people cried out in alarm by the sound of the flame.
âWow, that guy is amazingâââ
âHis ability seems stronger than Chen Xingyu, heâs not with us, right?â
âHe said heâs called Yan XiangmaâI have never heard of this guy beforeââ
Chen Xingyu forced himself up using his elbow as a main support for his body, propelling himself forward to sit upright.
His eyes stared icily at Yan Xiangma and his voice wavering in fear and curiosity as he asked: âwho the hell are you?â
âMaster Yan Xiangma.â Looking apparently annoyed, Yan Xiangma said: âyou just asked this question, youâre clearly wasting my time. Although I have a lot of time to wasteâbut Iâm a picky man. My time cannot be wasted on anyone. Especially trash like you who I can handle ten of with one hand.â
âYouââ
âDonât question what I say, anyone who knows me will know that I never tell lies.â Yan Xiangma glared intently at Chen Xingyu. âNow, listen carefully to every word Iâm going to say; you better pay attention to where I pauses because that is what I want to specifically remind youâ-First, publicly apologise to Li Shinian, admit that you had ulterior motives and youâre a beast.â
âThatâs too much. Thatâs impossible.â
âYou can refuse but the consequence of refusing is that Iâll punch you again. Your hand that was gripping the sword will have the same fate as your sword: melt into nothing. With one arm missing, letâs see how you chase after girls in the future.â
After a moment of silence, Chen Xingyuâs line of sight shifted to Li Shinian and he finally said in a low voice: âIâm sorry, Iâhad ulterior motives. Iâm a beast.â
Everyone fell silent in shock.
The students were aware of Chen Xingyuâs usual style and behaviour, and know that he has a powerful reputation in school so almost no one dares to mess with him.
And because of this, the three beauties and him were especially close; other people did not even have the opportunity to come near them.
Now, he was forced to publicly apologise to a new girlâHow would he have the face to go out and meet people in the future?
âLook, your introduction of yourself is more domineering than mines. Who dares to publicly admit heâs a beast?â Yan Xiangma came close to Chen Xingyu, patting him on the shoulder as he said: âNow listen to my second request, be sure to listen carefullyâLeave far away, donât let Li Shinian see you ever again in Imperial View High. Every time she sees you, Iâll blind one of your eyes. When both your eyes have been blinded, Iâll cut off your nose, ears and tongue. Of course, I know you donât believe me but this canât be rushed. You can try to break the promise, I also patiently wait for the opportunity.â
âFine. I promise.â Chen Xingyu said through clenched teeth. Leaving Imperial View High is not a big deal to him. With his familyâs relationship, he could go to other schools. Since the situation has turned to this, he also does not have the face to stay here anyway.
As long as he remains in Tiandu, there will be a chance for retaliation.
âThirdly, which is the most importantâdonât hold a sugar cane grass in your mouth ever again. Otherwise, every time I see you I will hit you again.â From his mouth Yan Xiangma fiercely pulled the half-chewed sugar cane grass, threw it to the ground and hissed: âI hate clashing clothes with others, but today I clashed grass with an idiotâyou know, it makes me feel ashamed?â
âYou canât hold something else in your mouth? A bone from red braised pork? A dagger or some gold coins? Or a foxtail grassâWhy must you hold a sugar cane grass in your mouth? Donât you have a little creativity? Canât youâmake some slight changes?â
