Xi Yu still looked calm. His eyes swept across these people one by one and slowly spoke: "Everyone, I didn't want to have a conflict with you. You did it first. Now it's time to stop. Don't cause unnecessary trouble because of impulse."
But those people in the martial arts world could not hear it. They just thought that Xi Yu was showing weakness. One of them seemed to be the leader snorted coldly: "Hmph, it's too late to say this now. If you dare to offend our brothers, just wait for death!" After that, he waved his knife and slashed at Xi Yu.
Xi Yu snorted coldly, and moved his feet lightly, easily avoiding this sharp knife.
Immediately afterwards, he asked the secret guard to move out.
A secret guard poked out like lightning, pinched the man's wrist accurately, twisted it slightly, and with a "clang" sound, the knife fell to the ground, and the man screamed in pain.
Seeing that the situation was not good, the rest rushed forward and greeted Xi Yu in various moves.
The secret guards were not in a hurry, wandering around in this small space, dodging or blocking, and actually dispelling the attacks of these people one by one, and they also counterattacked from time to time. After a while, the people in the martial arts world were beaten to the point of being in a mess.
At this time, the shopkeeper heard the noise and hurriedly ran over and saw this, "Dear Master, please say something, don't fight in my inn. If anyone hurts, the shop can't afford it!"
The people in the martial arts world were also a little awake at this time. They knew that they had hit the iron plate today. While rubbing the pain on their bodies, they glared at Xi Yu fiercely, and then left a few harsh words, then escaped from the inn in shame.
Xi Yu tidied up his clothes and bowed to the shopkeeper slightly and said, "Shopkeeper, I'm sorry for disturbing the purity of your inn."
The shopkeeper waved his hand quickly and said, "Customer, what are you saying? They are making trouble first. You have to do it. You are not hurt, please go back to your room to rest."
Xi Yu nodded, turned around and went back to the room, leaving the shopkeeper standing there, looking at his back, smacking his tongue secretly, thinking that this seemingly weak guest official did not expect that he had such a powerful subordinate.
When Xi Yu's figure disappeared from the corner of the stairs, the shopkeeper came to his senses. He looked at the messy lobby and sighed heavily.
At this time, the guys also timidly came out of the corner and began to clean up the tables, chairs, bowls and chopsticks that were messed up by the fight.
Just as the shopkeeper helped pick up a broken teapot, he suddenly had an idea, as if he had made some major decision.
He didn't care about the dust on his hands, and hurriedly told his friend a few words, and then quickly walked towards Xi Yu's room.
When he arrived at the door, the shopkeeper raised his hand and knocked on the door gently, with a little cautious tone: "Customer, it's me, the shopkeeper, can it be convenient for him to open the door and say a few words?"
Xi Yu's calm voice came from inside the house: "Please come in."
The shopkeeper pushed open the door and saw Xi Yu sitting at the table, as if the fight just now had no effect on him.
The shopkeeper walked forward with some restraint, first bowed respectfully, and then said, "Customer, I'm really embarrassed to disturb you, but I really have something to ask you for help."
Xi Yu closed the book, looked at the shopkeeper gently, and signaled him to continue talking.
The shopkeeper licked his dry lips and started to express his grief with a bitter face.
"The guest official doesn't know that the old man is desperate recently. I have an ancestral home in this city. Although it is not a property left by a wealthy and noble family, it also carries the memories of several generations. But a bully just set his sights on that place. He found a so-called Feng Shui master and insisted that it was a treasure land with excellent Feng Shui and insisted that I moved out and gave the house to him."
Speaking of this, the shopkeeper was a little excited and his hands were clenched unconsciously.
"Of course I refused. It was the family business passed down by my ancestors. How could I give up people easily? But when the bully saw that I didn't agree, he sent someone to beat me again and again. My old bones really couldn't stand their torture. Moreover, I usually live in this inn, and the ancestral home was temporarily empty. In desperation, I had to temporarily agree to his unreasonable request. But I really couldn't swallow this tone!"
The shopkeeper paused and looked at Xi Yu with anticipation.
"I see, you are surrounded by talented people. If you can help me and help me regain my house, the old man will be grateful. Not only will your room rate be free of charge in this inn, I am also willing to give you a silver gift, and I hope the customer can fulfill it." After saying that, the shopkeeper looked at Xi Yu with his eyes full of begging.
After listening to Xi Yu, his expression was slightly solemn.
Xi Yu was filled with righteous indignation, his face full of anger, and he shouted: "I didn't expect that there would be such a hateful thing in the world! This bully is simply lawless!"
He came to calm down his emotions and continued, "But it's really too late today. I've been working hard all day long. I need to have a good rest and regain my energy. I'll go to that bully tomorrow."
The shopkeeper nodded quickly, with a look of joy on his face, and said, "What the guest said is, it's abrupt. You have a good rest. It's okay to be convenient at any time. You can all follow your arrangements."
Xi Yu looked at the shopkeeper firmly and said, "Shopkeeper, don't worry, since I have agreed to this matter, I will definitely help you get justice."
The shopkeeper was so excited that his eyes turned red. He knelt on the ground with a "thump" sound, and thanked Xi Yu repeatedly: "Thank you, thank you for your kindness, you are our savior! I really don't know how to repay you."
Xi Yu hurried forward to help the shopkeeper up and said, "Shopkeeper, please get up quickly, this is what I should do. You go back first, I will go to you tomorrow morning, let's discuss countermeasures together."
After thanking the shopkeeper for his gratitude, he slowly left the room.
The next day, just as dawned, Xi Yu got up to wash, tidy up his clothes, and then went to find the shopkeeper.
The shopkeeper was waiting in the lobby early. When he saw Xi Yu coming, he immediately went up to meet him.
The two of them found a quiet corner to sit down, and the shopkeeper couldn't wait to say, "Customer, the old man thought about it last night. There were many thugs around the bully. We just went there rashly, afraid that we would suffer a loss."
Xi Yu nodded slightly, pondered for a moment and said, "Shopkeeper, tell me about the bully's residence, his daily routine, and his thugs. Only when we know ourselves and our enemies can we win a hundred battles."
The shopkeeper quickly said, "The bully lives in a large yard in the west of the city. He is arrogant and domineering on weekdays, and he follows four or five thugs at any time. He has to go to the casino every morning and only returns to the yard in the afternoon."
After hearing this, Xi Yu had an idea in his mind and said, "Since that's the case, let's do it on his way to the casino in the morning. I will first lead a few secret guards to set up an ambush on the road that must be passed. When he appears, he will catch him off guard."
The shopkeeper said with some concern: "Customer, I'm afraid he will be in a hurry. What should I do if I hurt you?"
Xi Yu smiled confidently.
"Shopkeeper, don't worry, my secret guards and I have their own qualities. Moreover, we must act quickly, fight quickly, and fight him without any power to fight back."
After the discussion was settled, Xi Yu took the secret guards to the necessary path for the bully...
Xi Yu and his secret guards came early to the path that the bully must pass. The road was surrounded by high walls, which were very secluded and a good place to set up an ambush.
Xi Yu asked the secret guards to hide in the shadow of the wall, while he stood in the road, waiting for the bully to appear calmly.
Soon, a loud footsteps came, and a burly man with a burly face was swaying, surrounded by four or five fierce thugs. The man was exactly what everyone called a bully. He had a grass in his mouth, his eyes full of arrogance and disdain.
When the bully saw Xi Yu in Lu Zhong, he was stunned at first, and then showed a sarcastic smile.
"Boy, who are you? Are you tired of living if you dare to block the uncle's path?"
Xi Yu said with a cold expression, neither humble nor arrogant attitude: "It doesn't matter who I am, what matters is that the evil things you did, and today it's time to end."
The bully was stunned and then burst into laughter, as if he had heard a huge joke.
"Just you? Don't ask who I am! Brothers, come on and beat this lifeless guy to death!"
As soon as he finished speaking, several thugs waved the sticks in their hands and rushed towards Xi Yu.
Xi Yu snorted coldly, his figure flashed like a ghost, easily avoiding the attacks of the thugs.
At the same time, the secret guards hiding in the dark also took action, pounced on the bully and his group like tigers going down the mountain.
The secret guards are all very skilled and have fierce moves.
But in a moment, the thugs were beaten to the point of being tilted, lying on the ground and moaning in pain.
Seeing this, the bully's face changed drastically and wanted to turn around and escape, but Xi Yu stepped forward and blocked his way.
"I want to run away? It's not that easy!" Xi Yu said coldly.
The bully was scared, but he still said with a strong voice: "You... do you know who is behind me? If you dare to touch me, you will be dead!"
Xi Yu said disdainfully: "No matter who is behind you, you have to pay the price to do evil here. Today, I will seek justice for those people who are bullied by you!"
After saying that, Xi Yu raised his hand and punched the bully hard in the face.
The bully screamed and fell to the ground. Xi Yu did not give up. He stepped on the bully's chest and asked coldly: "Say, do you dare to bully the people again? Do you dare to occupy other people's houses?"
The bully was so scared that his face was pale and he quickly begged for mercy.
"I don't dare, I won't dare again! Please spare my life!"
Xi Yu asked again, "What are you going to do if the shopkeeper's house?"
The bully hurriedly said, "I'll pay it back soon, I'll pay it back soon! Please let me go!"
Only then did Xi Yu nodded with satisfaction, let go of his feet, and said to the bully: "Remember what you said today. If I let me know that you did evil again, it will not be that simple next time!"
The bully was as if he had received a general amnesty and crawled around with the remaining men in a panic.
Xi Yu looked at the bully's back as he frowned slightly, and understood in his heart that most of these bullies bully the weak and fear the strong. Although he punished him today, it is difficult to guarantee that he will not commit any more in the future.
So he decided to stay in the city with the secret guards for a few more days to secretly observe the bully's movements and ensure that he would not harass the people again.
After dealing with this matter, Xi Yu took the secret guards back to the inn.
The shopkeeper was already waiting anxiously at the door. When he saw Xi Yu coming back, he immediately met him and asked with anticipation: "Customer, how are the matter doing?"
Xi Yu smiled slightly and said, "Shopkeeper, don't worry, the bully has promised to return your house. He should not dare to harass you again in a short period of time. However, we will stay in the city for a few more days just in case."
The shopkeeper was so excited that he burst into tears. He knelt on the ground again and kept thanking him.
"Customer, you are really our family's great benefactor! Your great benefactor will never repay you in your life!"
Xi Yu hurriedly helped the shopkeeper up and said, "Shopkeeper, don't be like this. When you see unfairness on the road, draw your sword to help you. This is what I should do. If you encounter any trouble in the future, come to me."
Above the towering main peak of Kunlun Mountain, inside the Kunlun School’s meeting hall.
Taoist Master Qingfeng sat upright in the main seat, with a cold face, his eyes swept towards the disciples below like a knife, and finally frozen on Wuji.
Master Qingfeng waved his hand and ordered several Taoist boys beside him: "You go to Wuji's room now, don't let go of an inch of it, be sure to find the secret book."
Several Taoist boys took the order and hurriedly left the hall. Wuji looked at their backs, his legs became weak, and he almost couldn't stand steadily.
He was full of panic, and beads of sweat the size of beans on his forehead kept rolling down, his eyes full of despair and helplessness.
"Master, I was really wronged!" Wuji shouted at the top of his lungs, his voice echoing in the empty hall, revealing endless sadness.
Time passes slowly in this tense atmosphere, and every second seems to be suffering from Wuji.
Finally, a burst of rapid footsteps came in from outside the hall. Everyone looked in the sound and saw the few Taoist boys who were going to search quickly into the hall. One of the leaders was holding a simple book in his hand, which was the secret book lost by Taoist Qingfeng.
"Master, we found this secret book in the secret compartment of Wuji's room." The little Taoist boy respectfully presented the secret book.
Taoist Qingfeng took over the secret book and his expression became more gloomy.
Wuji's eyes turned black when he saw the secret book and almost fainted. He knew that everything was over...
"Wuji, now that people and physical evidence are there, what else do you have to say?" Taoist Qingfeng's voice was cold and harsh.
For a moment, the eyes of the entire hall shot towards Wuji in unison, like countless sharp thorns.
The disciples began to whisper, and the discussion spread like a tide in the hall.
"I really didn't expect that it was really done by Wuji. He looks quite honest on weekdays."
"That's right, our Kunlun Sect has always been strict in its sect. This kind of secret book theft is simply unforgivable!"
"It disappointed Master and everyone too much."
Everyone's words were like sharp blades, piercing into Wuji's heart.
His body was shaking, his legs became weak, and he knelt on the ground with a "thump", his face full of tears of regret.
"Master, I was wrong, I was really wrong!" Wuji cried bitterly, his voice with endless regret and despair, "I was confused for a moment and was fascinated by ghosts. I... I just wanted to prove myself too much, and I wanted to make a name for myself in the sect. I knew that the secret book recorded the profound martial arts. I thought that as long as I learned it, everyone would look at me with admiration, and I would do such a stupid thing in a moment."
Wuji kept kowtowing while talking, his forehead hitting the ground, making a dull sound.
Taoist Qingfeng looked at Wuji kneeling on the ground, and a trace of unbearableness flashed in his eyes, but he was soon replaced by firmness. "You are confused at this moment and almost destroyed the foundation of my Kunlun Sect. This secret book is the treasure of my Sect. It has been passed down for many years and is of great significance. How can you steal it at will!"
At this time, an elder stood up and said with a serious expression: "Wuji made such a big mistake. If he did not punish him heavily, it would be difficult to convince the public and to correct the rules of my Kunlun Sect."
The other elders nodded in agreement. The atmosphere in the hall became more and more serious. Wuji knelt on the ground, his heart full of fear. He didn't know what kind of punishment he would be waiting for...
Wuji kept kowtowing and begging for mercy. His forehead had been broken, and blood slowly flowed down his cheeks, looking extremely embarrassed.
His voice became hoarse due to excessive grief and pleading: "Master, please give me another chance, I promise that I will never again. I am willing to accept any punishment, just ask you not to expel me from the Kunlun Sect."
At this moment, Mingyue walked out of the disciples. He looked cold and had a hint of regret in his eyes. However, he said with great firmness: "Wuji, if you do something wrong, you must be punished. This is the rule of the Kunlun School, and no one can be an exception. If you let you go easily today, how can you convince the public in the future?"
Mingyue's words were like a heavy hammer, completely shattering Wuji's last trace of luck. He collapsed to the ground, his eyes full of despair.
Master Qingfeng looked at the scene in front of him and felt mixed feelings.
Wuji was his disciple who had high hopes for, but now he made such a big mistake. He felt both angry and heartbroken. He sighed and slowly said, "Wuji, I remember that you were not without achievements in the sect in the past. I will give you a chance to reform yourself. I will punish you to go to the cliff to think about your life and think about it for a month and reflect on your own mistakes."
When Wuji heard this, a light flashed in his originally dim eyes. He quickly raised his head, his eyes full of gratitude: "Thank you, Master, thank you for giving me this opportunity. I will reflect on myself and correct my past mistakes."
Taoist Master Qingfeng waved his hand slightly, indicating that he didn't need to say much, and then turned to other disciples and said, "Everyone should take it as a warning for today's affairs. My Kunlun School is based on justice and morality, and has strict rules and is not allowed to be trampled on by anyone. I hope you can all abide by your duty and devote yourself to your practice."
"Yes, Master!" the disciples responded in unison, and their voices echoed in the hall and did not dissipate for a long time.
Then, several disciples stepped forward, helped Wuji up and took him to the cliff of Siji.
Wuji turned around step by step, looked at the once familiar hall and fellow disciples, and felt full of regret.
Chapter completed!
