Chapter 115: If There Are No Melons, Then Create Them

"What were you talking about with Bai Tianyu?" Ding Baiyun asked. "I always felt like you two weren't saying anything nice."

You Longsheng waved his hand dismissively. "Bai Tianyu said he's getting old and feeling a bit overwhelmed. He asked if I had any good ideas, so I offered to share the secret manual of 'The Art of the Bedroom' with him."

With his exceptional martial arts skills and sharp ears, Bai Tianyu, who was just turning to enter the door, nearly stumbled and had to forcefully suppress the urge to draw his sword. He slammed the door shut with a loud "duang."

Lan Yueyi couldn't help but laugh. Although she hadn't heard what Bai Tianyu and You Longsheng were saying, she could probably guess the nature of their conversation.

Judging from their expressions alone, it was clear that You Longsheng was giving Bai Tianyu mischievous advice.

Lan Yueyi shot You Longsheng a glance. "Aren't you afraid that things will backfire and Bai Tianyu will take his anger out on you?"

You Longsheng stroked his chin contemplatively. "You do have a point. Maybe we should play for a few more days and then make a quick escape?"

"Don't you still want to learn that Grand Acupuncture Point Displacement technique or something?"

"Oh, right!" You Longsheng clapped his hands. "Then let's run away after I've mastered that!"

The group chatted and laughed, spending another day in the border town. They purchased some warm sheepskin and mink fur to make winter clothing before returning home.

When they arrived back at the Hall of Divine Blades in the evening, Bai Tianyu had already returned as well.

...

In the following days, You Longsheng sought out Hua Baifeng to learn the Grand Acupuncture Point Displacement technique and also gained some information that wasn't exactly a secret.

Hua Baifeng's father, Hua Wuqian, indeed possessed a few martial arts techniques from the "Ode to the Interaction of Heaven and Earth, Yin and Yang, Great Sorrow," but he did not have the complete manual.

Apart from the Great Purple Yang Hand of Heaven's Extinction and Earth's Annihilation and the Grand Acupuncture Point Displacement technique, there was only one more technique called the Great Displacement of Heaven and Earth.

As for the other martial arts techniques, even Hua Wuqian was unclear about their whereabouts, guessing that they were in the hands of other branches of the demonic sect.

These martial arts techniques were undoubtedly among the most powerful in the world, but the prerequisite was that the cultivator had to be an exceptionally formidable individual as well.

While Hua Baifeng was teaching You Longsheng the displacement technique, she would occasionally leave for short periods, seemingly plotting something.

You Longsheng, of course, didn't bother prying. Instead, he fully immersed himself in the role of a scholarly gentleman who paid no heed to matters beyond his books. Each day, he dedicated himself to learning martial arts and taking Ding Baiyun and Lan Yueyi around to explore and enjoy themselves.

And then they encountered Gongsun Duan.

Gongsun Duan hadn't come specifically to find them. He was dragging a woman from the Jiangnan Tower by her hair, pulling her onto the street and viciously throwing her to the ground.

"Young Master Gongsun is drunk again."

"Young Master Gongsun gets drunk several times a month. He loves sleeping with women and beating them up."

"The women from Jiangnan Tower and Yanyue Pavilion take turns serving him."

"Sometimes he picks his own entertainment."

Gongsun Duan was still somewhat lucid and hadn't intended to kill the woman. He was merely venting his frustrations.

After he finished venting, he prepared to leave.

He staggered to his horse, steadying himself by holding onto his sword. But as he turned, he noticed You Longsheng and his companions standing on the street, watching him.

"What are you looking at?" Gongsun Duan demanded angrily.

In this border town, no one had ever dared to watch him beat a woman!

"We're looking at a coward," Ding Baiyun replied coldly.

Gongsun Duan's eyes narrowed dangerously, his right hand tightening on the hilt of his sword. "Who do you call a coward?"

"Anyone who hits a woman is a coward," Ding Baiyun stated flatly.

There were many men in the world who hit women, and countless more who got drunk in brothels and beat up the women there. They couldn't possibly intervene in every such incident.

But that didn't mean they would turn a blind eye when they witnessed such behavior.

Gongsun Duan's pupils contracted sharply.

You Longsheng's words hit the mark. Ma Kongqun treated him like a brother, and the horse masters of the Ten Thousand Horses Hall addressed him as Fourth Young Master, but the people of the Hall of Divine Blades never acknowledged this.

Moreover, by calling him a servant of the Hall of Divine Blades, wasn't You Longsheng implying that the Ten Thousand Horses Hall was subordinate to them?

Gongsun Duan's chest heaved with rage. He was loyal only to Ma Kongqun, and he despised the way the Bai brothers treated the Ten Thousand Horses Hall like their personal property.

In his opinion, Ma Kongqun was the one who had single-handedly developed the Ten Thousand Horses Hall, from selecting the stud horses to training the horse masters. What did any of this have to do with Bai Tianyu? If not for the Hall of Divine Blades taking a large portion of their resources and wealth, the Ten Thousand Horses Hall would be even more powerful than it was today.

The Ten Thousand Horses Hall was of the Ma family, not the Bai family!

You Longsheng's voice took on a persuasive tone, "As long as the Bai brothers are around, Ma Kongqun will forever be the third brother. And you, you're just a Fourth Young Master who isn't truly recognized. Do you think people call you Fourth Young Master out of respect? I think they're just making fun of you."

Pausing for a moment, You Longsheng turned to Gongsun Duan and grinned, "What do you think, Fourth Young Master Gongsun?"

Gongsun Duan flew into a rage and drew his sword, slashing at You Longsheng.

"Clang!"

The scimitar flew out of his hand and embedded itself in a hitching post, accidentally cutting the reins that tethered a horse.

Sheathing his sword, You Longsheng remarked, "So you're this weak. What a waste of a tall stature. All show and no substance. No wonder you only dare to hit women. When Yun Er called you a coward, she wasn't wrong."

Gongsun Duan's eyes nearly popped out of his head with fury.

But as he lifted his head, he met three pairs of eyes filled with murderous intent, and half of his drunkenness instantly vanished.

"Go back and tell Ma Kongqun to keep you in line," You Longsheng instructed. "This border town is, after all, the territory of the Hall of Divine Blades. It's embarrassing to have your own people beating up your women right here on your own turf."

You Longsheng stood on a moral high ground, lecturing Gongsun Duan loudly enough for those around them to hear.

The onlookers' gazes toward Gongsun Duan turned accusatory.

Being reprimanded by an outsider on your own turf was a huge loss of face.

However, Gongsun Duan dared not retaliate because he knew he wasn't a match for You Longsheng.

All he could do was pull his scimitar out of the hitching post, mount his horse, and ride out of the town as fast as he could.

Lan Yueyi laughed, "Are you trying to drive a wedge between Ma Kongqun and Bai Tianyu?"

You Longsheng nodded, "Yes, I'm helping them test the strength of their brotherhood. If it's a true brotherhood forged over decades, a few words from me won't be enough to turn them against each other."

Ding Baiyun also sensed something amiss from Gongsun Duan's reaction, "Could it be that Ma Kongqun truly harbors dissatisfaction toward Bai Tianyu?"

You Longsheng spread his hands, "What do you think? Would a man with ambition be content with being the third brother?"

"But Bai Tianyu..." Ding Baiyun's eyes flickered, "Really?"

You Longsheng nodded and shook his head, "Who knows? Let's find out. Let's stir the pot a little and see if anything interesting happens."
