Chapter 41: Yin Wuji's Sword Technique is Better than a Monkey Trainer's
"Ah?" You Longsheng was bewildered.
Duan Qian and Feng Wan stood up together, drawing their swords backwards and holding them horizontally in their hands, pointing straight ahead. "Yin Wuji, we haven't offended you!"
Yin Wuji gave a cold laugh. "You sit there eating peanuts and drinking wine, watching me kill as if it's a monkey show. How have I not been offended?"
The moment Yin Wuji appeared, he intimidated everyone in the room. Everyone wanted to distance themselves from him, including the Yellow River Seven Monsters, who had just been defeated by the Three Blades of Mo Bei and had the courage to make a fierce statement. They all retreated, their faces turning pale as they dared not speak.
The others also fell silent, even their breathing softened, and they quietly watched as spectators.
Only You Longsheng, eating peanuts and sipping his wine, was excitedly watching the fight.
In Yin Wuji's opinion, this was an insult to himself. He felt that he was performing for You Longsheng, as if expecting a couple of copper coins to be tossed his way in appreciation.
It was then that You Longsheng realized that his quiet observation had somehow offended Yin Wuji.
Blood Sword Yin Wuji, this character had also been mentioned briefly in the original novel by Li Xanhuan and Tie Chuangjia, who compared him to Long Xiaoyun, saying that his moves were vicious.
You Longsheng hadn't expected to encounter this Yin Wuji so soon after parting ways with Li Xanhuan.
However, facing Yin Wuji's anger...
"It's quite a show," You Longsheng said earnestly, nodding. "Much better than the monkey shows on the street. You don't even need a whip; you're putting on a display yourself. And those swords, so colorful, glowing red, they're beautiful!"
As soon as You Longsheng's words left his mouth, the entire inn fell silent as still as a chicken.
Yin Wuji was stunned, and Duan Qian and Feng Wan were also startled. They hadn't expected their master to follow up on Yin Wuji's words like that.
Master! He's being sarcastic!
Noticing the looks on Duan Qian and Feng Wan's faces, You Longsheng raised an eyebrow. "What? Am I wrong? Is this gentleman's sword technique not even as good as a monkey trainer's?"
"No, that's not what I meant..."
Duan Qian forced a bitter laugh. "Of course, Yin Wuji's sword technique is better than a monkey trainer's. No, that's not right..."
Duan Qian was bewildered as well. How did he end up following the lead of his master's words? How did he end up comparing Yin Wuji to a monkey trainer? Even in this terrifying atmosphere, he felt like laughing out loud.
It wasn't just Duan Qian; even some of the onlookers beside them couldn't hold back their laughter.
Sun Xiaohong giggled, then pulled Tianji Elder towards her. She looked at You Longsheng and asked softly, "Grandfather, can he beat Yin Wuji?"
Tianji Elder smiled faintly. "Half a year ago, he probably wouldn't have been able to beat Yin Wuji. But after befriending Li Xanhuan and A Fei, and killing Yi Ku, You Longsheng has changed. He's had an epiphany."
On the other side, the man and woman who had been sitting quietly, even when Yin Wuji killed the Three Blades of Mo Bei, showed no reaction. But now, seeing Yin Wuji involving innocent bystanders, the man slightly raised his hand as if he was about to take action.
However, before he could do anything, he witnessed You Longsheng's playful behavior and laughed, feeling relieved that the other party seemed confident.
"Who is this man? He seems unfazed even in the face of Yin Wuji?" the man asked.
The woman shook her head. "If I don't know, how would I know who he is?"
Their voices were also very low, and only a few people nearby heard them. But everyone couldn't help but look at the woman, feeling that her voice was like a warbler leaving its valley, enchanting and melodious.
"Then I'm right, so why is he angry?" You Longsheng said, popping another peanut into his mouth, unconcerned.
Feng Wan forced a bitter smile. "He probably thinks he's avenging his disciples, and you're sitting there eating peanuts, which he might see as disrespectful."
"Is that so?" You Longsheng ate another peanut. "How is my eating peanuts disrespectful to him?"
Hearing the laughter behind him, Yin Wuji couldn't help but feel infuriated.
Clearly, the person across from him was blatantly disrespecting him, yet now it seemed as though he was the one being bullied. Yin Wuji felt that something was amiss!
Indeed, it was that young man in front of him!
With just a few words, he had associated him with a monkey trainer and even made up a rule about not allowing others to eat peanuts in his presence.
If word got out that Blood Sword Yin Wuji didn't allow others to eat peanuts in his presence, similar to a monkey trainer, how could he still show his face in the martial arts world!
"Daring to flirt with me! You're asking for death!"
Yin Wuji flew into a rage. The anger and killing intent from his disciples' deaths had not yet subsided, and now, being toyed with by You Longsheng, his fury knew no bounds. He lunged forward with his longsword, the wind whistling as he struck.
"Ding, ding, ding, ding, ding..."
A series of clashing sounds rang out relentlessly. After Yin Wuji finally retreated seven feet, everyone could clearly see that his left shoulder had been sliced open, blood dripping from the wound.
As for the young man from earlier, he had already sheathed his sword, tossed another peanut into his mouth, and finished a cup of wine.
"Eating peanuts while watching a fight is my hobby. What does it have to do with you?" You Longsheng stuck out his tongue, "I didn't want to fight you, I was giving you face, and yet you dare to flirt with me...
Big brother, no, I should say, Uncle, do you have some misunderstanding about the word 'flirt'? I don't swing that way. Even if I were to flirt, it would be with a beautiful woman. I really have no interest in flirting with men, you're thinking too much."
Yin Wuji's face turned gloomy as he recalled his previous encounter with You Longsheng, "'Divine Dragon's Nine-Fold Sword Technique', are you the Young Master of the Hidden Sword Peak, You Longsheng?"
Everyone turned their heads, looking at You Longsheng and then at the blue-clad elder hiding to the side. They had just been talking about You Longsheng, and now the main character himself had appeared.
"No."
"No?"
You Longsheng shook his head, "I am now the Master of the Hidden Sword Peak, You Longsheng."
Yin Wuji, "...'
You Longsheng continued, "According to Li Xanhuan, you do not kill the innocent without reason. What happened earlier also had its causes, so let's just leave it at that. Also, I won't eat peanuts in front of you anymore, so rest assured."
Hearing the laughter behind him, Yin Wuji felt like spitting blood from anger. But because You Longsheng had shown mercy earlier, he didn't have the face to turn back. He could only stride away while bowing his head and cupping his hands in farewell.
"Thank you, Master You, for your mercy. From now on, wherever the disciples of the Hidden Sword Peak go, Yin Wuji will retreat three houses!"
...
"Master, your sword technique is amazing!"
"That Yin Wuji has been famous for decades, yet he couldn't block a single strike from you!"
"Nonsense, he clearly blocked nine of my strikes!" You Longsheng said, "His martial arts are only slightly better than Tian Qi, but his moves are strange and vicious, making it hard to guard against them. I had to use nine strikes to injure him, which is already..."
You Longsheng thought about it, "Seems pretty impressive, huh?"
You Longsheng's sudden change of topic made Sun Xiaohong, who was walking towards him, giggle. She then leaned closer to him and asked with a tilted head, "Are you the Master of the Hidden Sword Peak, You Longsheng?"
"Calling me 'Master' makes me sound old. You can call me 'Young Master', that's fine too." You Longsheng said.
"Then I'm truly honored!" Sun Xiaohong giggled as she sat down next to You Longsheng, "Were you with Li Xanhuan and the others when you came down from Shaoshi Mountain just now?"
"Yeah!"
"Can you tell me what happened on the mountain then?"
"No!"
