Chapter 86: The Waters of this Jianghu Run Deep

Chapter 86: The Waters of this Jianghu Run Deep

Since Xie Tianling had brought up his age and experience, disregarding the grievances between the younger generation, You Longsheng would naturally not concern himself with sparing his feelings.

Not to mention Gao Changfeng, even if Xie Tianling took action himself, although You Longsheng might not be able to defeat him, he was confident he could escape.

"Jealousy is like a poisonous weed, deeply rooted in the depths of one's heart, consuming kindness and justice." You Longsheng said with a smile as he looked at Gao Changfeng.

Gao Changfeng's eyes widened, and he said angrily, "Are you saying I'm jealous of you?"

"I didn't say that. I've just heard people say that there's no love or hate without a reason."

You Longsheng blinked innocently, implying, "I just feel that when someone inexplicably targets another person, there must be a reason.

It's either hatred, covetousness, or jealousy."

You Longsheng stroked his chin, "As far as I know, we have no grudges between us, and even if you covet the wealth of my Zanjian Mountain Villa, you can't take it away. So, there's only one possibility left."

You Longsheng clapped his hands confidently, "You're jealous because I'm more handsome than you!"

Everyone: ???

You Longsheng's smile was harmless, but his words were piercing, "You're not jealous because I have a bigger reputation, higher martial arts skills, and am more popular with women than you, are you?"

Gao Changfeng's eyes turned red, and he no longer wanted to continue the conversation with You Longsheng. He thrust his sword forward and said, "Look at my sword!"

Guo Songyang and Xie Tianling's gazes turned to You Longsheng.

You Longsheng sighed helplessly.

Once again, the focus was on him, but he was already used to it.

Ever since his reputation inexplicably grew, he knew that trouble would find him sooner or later.

When one wanders in the jianghu, one is bound to encounter challenges, especially with Guo Songyang and Xie Tianling watching.

Fortunately, his swordsmanship was decent, and his achievements were not solely due to trickery or relying on others.

So when he saw Gao Changfeng approaching with his sword, You Longsheng also drew his sword.

Gao Changfeng's footsteps did not pause, and his sword pointed and flicked, the tip of his sword blossoming into a dazzling display of sword flowers. His swordsmanship was unexpectedly good.

As expected, being a direct disciple of Xie Tianling, a master of Diancang, there were not many of his generation, and he was certainly no weakling.

With his sword technique, even if he encountered Yin Wuji or Hua Mantian, he could fight and win. No wonder he dared to mock You Longsheng; he indeed had extraordinary skills. After wandering in the jianghu for a few years, he would surely make a name for himself.

It was a pity that he had provoked You Longsheng.

"I see."

You Longsheng replied calmly, then drew his sword and stabbed out three times.

The first sword struck the spine of Gao Changfeng's sword, disrupting his momentum.

The second sword hit the hilt of Gao Changfeng's sword, sending his long sword flying.

The third sword stopped at the tip of Gao Changfeng's nose, causing him to cross his eyes.

"Swish!"

You Longsheng sheathed his sword, "You saw my swordplay, but did you see my sword clearly?"

Gao Changfeng's face turned red.

"Good! As expected of Master Tianling's disciple! What a pity that Fengming isn't here, or Changfeng would have been even more impressive." Xie Tianling praised, glancing at Gao Changfeng, "You should thank Young Master You for his mercy."

"Thank you, Young Master You, for your mercy."

Gao Changfeng's cheeks twitched, and he gave a slight bow before shifting his gaze away and returning to stand with the Xiao brothers.

"Brother Gao, don't take it to heart."

Xiao Qi smiled faintly. "There's no need for you to lower yourself to the level of such a despicable trickster. When we return, we'll go find Ruyi, and she'll help you calm down."

Gao Changfeng's complexion immediately improved visibly, and he nodded repeatedly, straightening his posture.

You Longsheng glanced at Gao Changfeng and then at the Xiao brothers, a thoughtful look in his eyes.

He now strongly suspected that Gao Changfeng was the blue-robed youth who had been killed by Jing Wumeng in the original story.

There was a scene in the original novel where Lin Xian'er had knocked out Ah Fei and was handling the affairs of her four subordinates, or rather, partners in crime, and the blue-robed youth was among them.

In that scene, the blue-robed youth had a haughty expression and had taken action once, looking down on the other three.

Of course, in the end, he had still died at the hands of Jing Wumeng.

However, here's the thing: despite how easily the blue-robed youth had been killed, he might not have been that weak after all, considering that his opponent had been none other than Jing Wumeng.

The Diancang Sect didn't have many disciples traveling in the Central Plains, and even fewer were disciples of Xie Tianling.

With his exceptional martial arts, matching identity, and even his brainless demeanor and clothing color, who else could he be but that blue-robed youth?

If that was the case, then another question arose: he had only come to the Central Plains this year, so how had he gotten in touch with the reclusive Lin Xian'er?

You Longsheng turned his gaze to the Xiao brothers. Could the Xiao family be collaborating with Lin Xian'er?

The small valley where Lin Xian'er and Ah Fei were hiding should be located near the intersection of the four provinces of Shan, He, Jiang, and Ze, not far from the headquarters of the Jin Qian Gang. It was a place with easy access and convenient transportation.

This also matched the description in the original novel, where Li Xunhuan had to rush back to Baoding on a fast horse, taking a full day and night.

Moreover, this location was also quite convenient for traveling to Luoyang.

If the Xiao family was collaborating with Lin Xian'er, and the Xiao family had a marital connection with Xie Tianling, then considering that thirty years ago, the previous leader of the Diancang Sect, Wu Wentian, who had been known as the "Number One Swordsman in the World" before Xue Yingzi, had easily died at the hands of Mei Hua Dao Shou...

You Longsheng shook his head as he looked at the group. The waters of this jianghu ran deep indeed...

...

However, no matter how deep the waters of the jianghu were, it had nothing to do with You Longsheng, who was simply a bystander to all of this.

After the battle between Guo Songyang and Xie Tianling, the two men went their separate ways without any pretense of being friends, either on the battlefield or off.

They had never been friends to begin with.

However, Guo Songyang seemed to have taken a liking to You Longsheng and the Ding siblings, proving that there was indeed a magnetic field between people.

"Would you like to visit my Zanjian Mountain Villa, Senior Guo?" You Longsheng asked.

Guo Songyang shook his head, looking first at You Longsheng and then at Ding Chengfeng. "But you are welcome at the Guo family in Songyang at any time..."

You Longsheng nodded. "Then we won't be polite..."

"...come find me for a duel."

"...it's on the way."

Guo Songyang shook his head and laughed, waving his hand as he turned to leave.

"Practice your swordsmanship well, don't be lazy. Even if you don't come looking for me, I estimate that in ten years or so, someone will come looking for you with the 'Mount Song Iron Sword'!"

Ding Chengfeng's expression turned solemn.

You Longsheng, on the other hand, called out to Guo Songyang, "How old is your son?"

Guo Songyang didn't answer, but his pace quickened noticeably.
