Chapter 54: Who Says Only Those with Natural Talent are Geniuses?
Chapter 54: Who Says Only Those with Natural Talent are Geniuses?
At the courtyard gate, Liu Xiuje stood dumbfounded for a moment, then forced a strained smile, "Sir Fang, you... we... he..."
He pointed at Shen Yi, his voice faltering.
He looked exactly like a child caught by an elder while visiting a friend's house.
As if unable to bear seeing him humiliated, a hand pulled Liu Xiuje back.
Leaning against the outer wall, Li Xinhan stood straight, his expressionless face, and walked towards the courtyard gate.
Both of them were Three-Tattooed Demon-Slaying Commanders, and they should have been more familiar with each other.
But he frowned, hesitated for a moment, and reluctantly bowed, his voice distant, "I'm under orders to investigate the demonic beings, and I'm about to depart. Shen Yi has already agreed to accompany me. I hope you can grant us this favor, brother."
Liu Xiuje silently stepped back and joined the other three.
In addition to the beggar, there was a small man with a child-like physique and a plump woman with her hair tied in a ponytail.
Including Li Tou'er, there were a total of five people, which was their entire team. The rest of the members were all back in Baiyun County and couldn't return for a while.
Because of this, even if Li Xinhan was reluctant to meet Fang Heng, he had to suppress his temper and step forward.
"..."
Fang Heng didn't turn around, nor did he look at the people at the courtyard gate.
He simply uttered a single word, concise and decisive.
"Scram."
As soon as these words were spoken, Li Xinhan's previously lowered palms clenched unconsciously, and his breathing quickened.
Born into a martial arts family, he had been naturally gifted since childhood and had never experienced such disdain.
The aura around his body gradually stirred.
Li Xinhan took a deep breath and suppressed his emotions again, "I just want to take my people and leave, I don't want any trouble."
"Don't be ridiculous, if the Commander blames us, I'll go home and ask my father to apologize." The ponytailed woman yawned and slapped the back of his head, "Let's just grab him."
As she spoke, Old Liu's fingers already held several poisoned hidden weapons, the beggar's body tensed, and the small man hunched over, his gaze fixed on Shen Yi.
"Of course, you can ask for whatever you need from your family. For example, as soon as you enter the Jade Dew Realm, you can request a Mid-Jade Elixir Realm... subordinate from your family to assist you in becoming a Deputy Commander, while I'm just an ordinary mortal who soaks in medicinal baths."
Fang Heng slowly turned around, a hint of ridicule appearing in his expression.
The ridicule on his face then turned into coldness, "But you can try to step over this courtyard gate and see how pathetic your background is compared to my talent."
"Tsk, I'm so scared."
Li Mujin patted her plump chest, her alluring face exuding laziness. As she stepped over the courtyard gate, a short sword appeared in her hand, "Hey, kid, where are you going? Come here quickly."
At her reminder, everyone looked over.
They realized that while they were confronting Fang Heng, Shen Yi had already walked to the house door without anyone noticing, calmly retrieving his saber.
Under Fang Heng's indifferent gaze, Shen Yi hung the black sheath on his waist, walked past Fang Heng, and joined the group, "I'm ready, let's go."
Li Xinhan was stunned for a moment, was it... that simple?
Perhaps he had overcomplicated the situation. Since Fang Heng had just arrived at the Demon Suppressing Bureau and didn't have any tasks, it was natural for him to come and go freely.
Li Mujin: "..."
Oh no.
A simple confrontation and thoroughly angering the opponent were two completely different concepts.
She turned to look at Fang Heng, who was not far away.
Fang Heng's expression was calm, but his muscles slowly rippled.
The next moment, his figure disappeared from his original spot.
Even the woman, who was also in the Mid-Jade Elixir Realm, was momentarily dazed.
When Fang Heng reappeared, he was already less than a foot away from the group. He reached out as if catching a chicken, aiming for Shen Yi's neck, without using any martial arts, purely relying on his overwhelming strength.
Casual, yet unresistible!
Li Xinhan's pupils contracted as he realized the gap in strength between them, but he had not expected the disparity to be so vast beyond his imagination.
"I said, you can't take half a step until you've learned it."
"Are you deaf?"
Fang Heng's palm forcefully pressed forward.
Shen Yi slightly sidestepped, and his right hand, hanging by his side, instantly rose. His fingertips, with a mysterious and bizarre movement, circled around Fang Heng's palm and lightly tapped on his arm.
It was hardly a fierce or intimidating move.
It didn't even look like they were sparring.
"..."
As Shen Yi raised his hand, Fang Heng's eyes flickered with a sense of inexplicable familiarity, but he still hesitated, unwilling to believe it.
However, when Shen Yi's fingertips touched him, the wavering in his eyes turned into a mix of annoyance and rage.
He finally understood the price he had to pay for his casualness.
"Huh!"
Fang Heng let out a loud shout, forcefully withdrawing his strength, and stomped his foot on the ground. His entire robust body shot back like an arrow.
Keeping a distance of over ten zhang from Shen Yi, he quickly stabilized his body and took a deep breath.
Everyone was a bit confused.
What was going on?
He rushed over and then jumped back...
"..."
Fang Heng stood there with his head lowered, his entire body motionless, and he remained silent for a long time.
Only Li Mujin noticed something amiss.
Curiously, she looked at Fang Heng, wondering what he was hiding. Despite Fang Heng's efforts to conceal it, the right arm he deliberately kept behind his back, slightly trembling, caught Li Mujin's attention.
Although there were no wounds, his arm hung limply, as if it had no bones.
"Do you have any more questions?"
Shen Yi pressed the scabbard again, indicating that he could continue answering if Fang Heng wanted to ask more.
Upon hearing this, a faint blush appeared on Fang Heng's lowered face, caused by the agitation of his blood.
He clenched his teeth tightly, his cheeks bulging, until a hint of sweetness tingled on his tongue.
Fang Heng was not afraid of fighting, and even with his entire right arm sealed, he still had sixty percent of his strength intact.
But it was meaningless...
His most prized talent had been calmly crushed underfoot by Shen Yi.
In just seven or eight days, Shen Yi could instantly search for the meridians, which was far from being a simple entry-level skill. If his palm strength had been slightly weaker, his right arm might have been permanently turned into dead flesh instead of being temporarily sealed.
Facing such a shocking revelation, Fang Heng realized that he had no choice but to stand there and pretend to be dead, as even lifting his head felt shameful.
"When did you return?" His voice was hoarse.
"When did I say I was coming back?" Shen Yi looked at him in confusion.
"You!" Fang Heng suddenly raised his eyes, his anger still lingering, mixed with a hint of panic.
This small courtyard was the holy ground of the entire Demon Suppressing Bureau, how could anyone not want to stay here?
If...
If he really didn't want to stay, how could he face his senior sister! A person with such terrifying understanding must not be allowed to escape from his grasp!
"This is Senior Sister Lin's decision. Don't go too far!"
Seeing Fang Heng's furious appearance, everyone was stunned.
When did this arrogant and reckless man stop fighting and start arguing instead?
Only Li Xinhan nodded thoughtfully.
He vaguely remembered that when he was young, if he encountered something he couldn't handle, he would habitually bring up his sister.
But... what couldn't Fang Heng handle? Could it be Shen Yi?
He turned to look at the young man beside him.
