Chapter 282: The Joy of Bullying Your Fellow Disciples
Chapter 282: The Joy of Bullying Your Fellow Disciples
After all, they were all from the same sect, and most of the time, the members of Emei Mountain treated each other with love and camaraderie. Even between Xie Tianhong and Su Shaoying, there was only healthy competition and no deep-seated grudges, so Su Shaoying's time on Emei Mountain had been quite pleasant.
She had stayed on the mountain for over half a month and had even returned home briefly during that time.
With her three lifetimes' worth of experiences, this was the first time her parents were still alive, and Su Shaoying finally got to enjoy the warmth of family. She also took the opportunity to retrieve some silver tickets from home for future use.
...
Emei Mountain, Xuanzhen Guan.
On a day with pleasant weather, clear skies, and gentle breezes, Su Shaoying asked, "Are you going out too, Duguyihe?"
Duguyihe, with a flick of her eyes, replied, "Who else is going?"
"Ma Xiuqin and Liu Xiu Xue left together yesterday," Duguyihe hummed.
Su Shaoying was left stunned, her eyes wide. "They're not going to look for Ximen Chuixue and Hua Manlou, are they?"
Duguyihe placed a hand on her chest, feeling a throbbing pain in her heart, as if her little cotton-padded jacket was flying away from her. "Ximen Chuixue is obsessed with his swordsmanship, and Hua Manlou is no ordinary man. It would be good for these two girls to experience some setbacks with them."
Su Shaoying raised an eyebrow and smiled. "How do you know they'll be rejected? If they can really get Ximen Chuixue and Hua Manlou to become sons-in-law of the Emei Sect, they would have greatly contributed to our sect."
Duguyihe slammed the table in anger. "That's not why I accepted them as disciples!"
Su Shaoying put on a serious face and said, "Of course, of course. Ximen Chuixue and Hua Manlou are both perceptive individuals, and these two girls are not good at pretending. They truly believe that it's their own will, which makes their intentions seem sincere."
Duguyihe widened her eyes, feeling as if Su Shaoying's words were implicating her as some sort of mastermind.
Ma Xiuzhen, standing beside Duguyihe, couldn't help but laugh out loud.
Su Shaoying turned to Ma Xiuzhen and asked, "What about you? Why aren't you going to find Lu Xiaofeng?"
Ma Xiuzhen's face changed, and she glared at Su Shaoying. With a cold snort, she turned and left the hall.
Duguyihe shook her head and smiled. "Go, go, you all should go. Coincidentally, Yingfeng mentioned that he also wants to return to the capital to visit his family. You can accompany each other and descend the mountain together."
Su Shaoying felt a bit embarrassed and pretended to say, "But if we all leave, who will keep our Shifu company?"
Duguyihe rolled her eyes. "You're not human, Yiren. Your martial arts skills still need work. It's a good opportunity for me to teach you a lesson while I have the time."
As luck would have it, Yan Renying entered to report something and happened to catch the last sentence. His face changed instantly, and he hurriedly explained, "Shifu, I didn't do anything wrong, did I?"
Su Shaoying glanced at him and asked, "Which foot did you step in first when you entered the door just now?"
Yan Renying looked down. "Left foot?"
Su Shaoying let out a cold smile. "Then why are you saying you didn't do anything wrong?"
Yan Renying: ???
Su Shaoying took a step forward and patted Yan Renying's shoulder as she walked past him. "When it comes to teaching you a lesson, any reason will do. Do I need to wait for you to make a mistake?"
Yan Renying: !!!
Watching Su Shaoying leave the hall, Yan Renying looked aggrieved and turned to Duguyihe, "Shifu..."
Duguyihe hummed, "I heard that you pestered Shaoying for a spar and even recklessly asked her to use her full strength?"
Yan Renying lowered his head. "Yes..."
"How many moves did you manage against her?" Duguyihe asked.
Yan Renying mumbled something, and then Duguyihe's stern voice asked again, "How many moves?"
"One move!" Yan Renying closed his eyes, deciding to come clean. "The first time, I thought it was just Second Senior Sister's luck. But then we exchanged moves ten more times, each time with a new offensive strategy. Yet, I still couldn't get past the third move!"
As his words fell, the hall fell silent.
"You actually sparred with him ten times, and you couldn't get past the third move each time?" Duguyihe exclaimed, her eyes widening in anger.
Yanyan Ying: ╭(°A°`)
╮
...
Let's not mention the rigorous training Yanyan Ying would receive from Duguyihe afterwards, as it had nothing to do with Su Shaoying. After all, it was he who had asked for her guidance and insisted that she hold nothing back.
Yanyan Ying was her beloved junior martial brother, how could she possibly cheat him?
She wanted him to understand the gap between himself and the top experts in the martial arts world, so he wouldn't go around with an overinflated ego and be easily deceived by others in the future.
Zhang Yingfeng, on the other hand, didn't have this problem. The moment he laid eyes on Ye Gucheng, he knew he was no match, and promptly prepared for death. But with such self-awareness, why did he go looking for Ximen Chuixue?
Of course, it was because...
"Are you coming with me to the capital this time?" Zhang Yingfeng asked with a smile, toying with a lump of clay as he spoke to Su Shaoying. "I'll treat you to some old Beijing soy juice."
Zhang Yingfeng wasn't particularly handsome, but his eyes shone brightly, and his open personality carried a hint of northerner's heartiness. He was, of course, a man bent on avenging his teacher.
"You're so stingy," Su Shaoying scoffed. "You won't treat me to hot pot or roast duck, but instead offer me soy juice? Who can even drink that stuff?"
"Huh?" Zhang Yingfeng furrowed his brows. "I thought you've never been to the capital before. How do you know outsiders can't get used to the taste of soy juice?"
Su Shaoying snorted. "Taiyuan isn't far from the capital. I just need to ask around, and I'd probably know as much as those who've lived in the capital their whole lives."
Zhang Yingfeng burst into laughter, reaching out to put his arm around Su Shaoying. "My bad. Come with me, and I'll treat you to mutton at Dongting Pavilion and roast duck at Laodepu."
Su Shaoying pouted and pushed Zhang Yingfeng's arm away. "No, those places are just scams for outsiders."
Zhang Yingfeng looked perplexed. "They're century-old establishments in the capital. What scams are you talking about?"
"I'm not going anyway," Su Shaoying said. "I will go to the capital, but not now."
"Then when do you plan to go?" Zhang Yingfeng asked, then added with a smile, "Are you waiting for me to leave? Do you have a lover in the capital that you don't want me to bump into?"
Su Shaoying let out a mocking laugh. "Aren't all the pretty women in the capital gathered in Li Yanbei and Du Tongxuan's mansions?"
Zhang Yingfeng's eyebrows rose. "You know about them too?"
"Why shouldn't I?" Su Shaoying asked.
"They're just a couple of local bullies, their reputations don't extend beyond the capital. How do you know about them?" Zhang Yingfeng inquired.
"I heard about them from people who've been to the capital," Su Shaoying replied.
"They're nothing," Zhang Yingfeng said, then paused as he considered his next words. "If you flashed your title as the Second Hero of the Emei Sect, they'd probably offer you their women..." He shook his head. "Actually, we might not be able to pull that off, but our Shifu probably could."
Su Shaoying's jaw dropped, and she exclaimed, "You actually want our Shifu to go snatch their women?!"
Zhang Yingfeng covered Su Shaoying's mouth, beads of sweat forming on his forehead. "Big brother, please, just call me big brother, okay? Don't go smearing my reputation like that. I never said anything like that!"
"But that's what you meant!" Su Shaoying pulled Zhang Yingfeng's hand away. "You owe me ten hot pot and roast duck dinners."
Zhang Yingfeng nodded decisively. "Deal!"
