Chapter 95: Yu Longsheng and Bai Tianyu's First Confrontation
Chapter 95: Yu Longsheng and Bai Tianyu's First Confrontation
Early the next morning, Yu Longsheng and his group left their rooms in threes, only to find that Bai Tianyu's group had done the same.
Ma Kongqun was still following Bai Tianyu, but by his side was a new addition—a flushed and blissful Tao Hua Niangzi.
Everyone was stunned by this unexpected development.
Yu Longsheng, however, maintained his composure, though he hadn't anticipated the swiftness of their union. As for himself and Lan Yu'er, well, it had taken quite some effort to convince her!
Nonetheless, Yu Longsheng wasn't envious. After all, easy come, easy go.
"He's more of a playboy than you, and he doesn't seem to care about consequences," Ding Baiyun remarked, nodding. "Tao Hua Niangzi truly has no brain."
Yu Longsheng couldn't help but laugh bitterly. Was he really a playboy?
It had been a year since he had crossed over, and in that time, he had only slept with two women—Lin Xian'er and Lan Yu'er—and they weren't even his regular bed partners.
He was practically a monk, and here he was being called a playboy!
"Do you want to bet that I could win over Tao Hua Niangzi with just a crook of my finger?" Yu Longsheng asked, his tone conveying his displeasure.
"I don't believe it," Ding Baiyun shook his head decisively. "Why don't you give it a try?"
"I won't," Yu Longsheng coldly huffed. "I'm not interested in her."
At that moment, the Peng family had also risen early. Peng Yue once again invited Bai Tianyu to the main hall to finalize their collaboration and share a midday meal. As Yu Longsheng prepared to take his leave, Bai Tianyu also stood to bid farewell.
"Brother Yu, I've heard that your Hidden Sword Peak is skilled in iron smelting and sword forging. Are you adept at refining knives as well?" Bai Tianyu asked, patting Yu Longsheng's shoulder.
Yu Longsheng raised an eyebrow and gestured to Peng Yue, who had seen them out. "Did you see my brother-in-law's knife yesterday?"
The knife Peng Yue had used in his match against Qin Lei was the Tiger Head Treasure Knife that Yu Longsheng had given him at the beginning of the year. By the end of the fight, Qin Lei's knife had acquired more than a dozen notches, but Peng Yue's knife remained as sharp as ever.
If Qin Lei's knife hadn't been of good quality as well, it might have been cut in half midway through the match.
Bai Tianyu's eyes lit up. "Was that knife refined by you?"
"No," Yu Longsheng shook his head.
"Huh?" Bai Tianyu was puzzled. "Then what are you saying?"
"It was refined by a master blacksmith from Hidden Sword Peak," Yu Longsheng explained.
Bai Tianyu blinked. "But aren't you the master of Hidden Sword Peak?"
"Yes, but the master blacksmith is not me," Yu Longsheng said earnestly. "It's important to clarify these things to avoid misunderstandings."
Bai Tianyu pondered this for a moment before nodding in agreement.
However, he quickly regained his composure and smiled broadly. "I'd like to visit your Hidden Sword Peak. I hope you don't mind? My Divine Blade Hall has three hundred disciples who have fought countless battles, and we're in dire need of quality knives!"
"Of course, I don't mind. The Hidden Sword Peak is open for business. As long as you have the money, I have the weapons," Yu Longsheng assured him.
"Hahaha, excellent!" Bai Tianyu laughed heartily. "With good knives in hand, my Divine Blade Hall will shock the martial arts world and dominate the land. Hidden Sword Peak will also gain fame, and perhaps you can rename it Hidden Blade Peak. Our two factions can then leave a lasting legacy in the martial arts world together!"
"No name change," Yu Longsheng promptly refused.
"Why not?" Bai Tianyu exclaimed, his eyes widening in surprise. "There are so many sects and clans in the martial arts world renowned for their swords, but very few for their knives. Why settle for being one among the crowd when you could establish your own sect, join forces with my Divine Blade Hall, and make a bold and colorful mark in the martial arts world?"
Moreover, Yu Longsheng knew that Bai Tianyu was not Shangguan Jinhong, and through the original story and Li Xunhuan's judgment, he was certainly not a bad person. So, Yu Longsheng wasn't afraid of Bai Tianyu turning against him.
Therefore, Yu Longsheng firmly refused and refused to follow Bai Tianyu's line of thought. He rejected the ideas of establishing a sect, dominating the martial arts world, or leaving a colorful mark in the martial arts world, and his reason was simple!
"It doesn't sound pleasant, and it's not cool," Yu Longsheng said.
"Not cool?" Bai Tianyu was taken aback. What kind of reason was that?
"A gentleman carries a sword, a hero wears a knife," Yu Longsheng said righteously. "To hide is to be restrained, and a sword represents a gentleman. The name of a swordsman from the Hidden Sword Villa already gives people an image of a handsome, graceful, elegant, and talented young master.
However, the Hidden Knife Villa sounds like a place for drinking and eating meat. I want to attract the attention of young girls in the martial arts world, and this style and name are absolutely essential."
Bai Tianyu looked at him incredulously and had to explain, "Once you shake the martial arts world and become famous, what kind of girl won't you have? Why would they care about your name?"
"Then I would be forcing them, and they wouldn't be sincere. There's no challenge, and where's the fun in that?" Yu Longsheng said, puffing out his chest. "I want to captivate them with my own charm!"
Bai Tianyu: ???
Bai Tianyu couldn't understand Yu Longsheng's train of thought. With strong martial arts and power, women would naturally fall into his arms. Why bother with such trivial things?
Young man, you're missing the point!
Bai Tianyu tightened his grip on Tao Hua Niangzi's waist to demonstrate, "Do you think Yueyao is with me because she's not sincere, but because I forced her?"
Tao Hua Niangzi's face turned pink, and she kissed Bai Tianyu on the cheek. "Of course, I'm sincere. Even if I were to be your concubine, I would willingly do so."
"That's because she felt that way after meeting you. Those who haven't met you would only imagine you as a rough knife-wielding man from the frontier," Yu Longsheng said, rolling his eyes. "I'm different. I want girls to feel excited just by hearing my name. My dream is to be the dream lover of girls all over the world."
Although Ding Baiyun knew that Yu Longsheng was talking nonsense, she still clenched her fists tightly.
Bai Tianyu was completely dumbfounded.
Ma Kongqun looked at Yu Longsheng as if he were looking at a fool, wondering how someone like him had managed to survive this long. He thought that the Hidden Sword Villa would likely be destroyed by Yu Longsheng's hands in the future.
However, Bai Tianyu soon regained his composure.
Could the Yu Longsheng who became friends with Li Xunhuan, helped him kill Yi Ku and the Five Poison Boy, traveled the jianghu, and killed the East Sea Jade Xiao and the Great Joyful Female Bodhisattva be such a shallow playboy?
He's trying to gain control of the narrative!
