CH 138

In the backyard of the inn, Gouwa was a little dissatisfied when he heard Chun Xiaoman say that.

"What's wrong with only knowing one move? Have you not heard of the saying 'one trick is all you need to become famous'? One move can kill someone."

Chun Xiaoman snorted, stepped forward with her right foot, and drew her long sword in an instant. With a flat thrust, she aimed at Gouwa.

Before Gouwa could react, the long sword had stopped in front of his nose.

"Clang!" The sword was sheathed. Chun Xiaoman turned around and left without a word.

After glancing at Yang Xiaohai who was watching nearby, Gouwa felt embarrassed and blushed. "She attacked me unexpectedly. If it were a real fight, she might not be able to beat me."

Yang Xiaohai saw that Chun Xiaoman had already left the inn courtyard and nodded repeatedly at Gouwa. "Yes, yes, yes, what Senior Cao Cao said is right."

After flattering Gouwa, Yang Xiaohai quickly followed Chun Xiaoman when he saw her standing in front of a big courtyard with a dart flag.

When he caught up with her on the street, he walked a few steps faster and followed her inside.

Looking at the Taoist next to her, Chun Xiaoman said, "Don't run around. Nowadays, there are many kidnappers who kidnap children for ransom."

"Got it. I'll be careful next time. Sister, can I follow you this time? I promise I won't cause any trouble."

Seeing the pleading in Yang Xiaohai's eyes, Chun Xiaoman didn't say anything more.

The dart bureau was large and crowded with carts and ox carts in the courtyard.

"There are so many people here." Yang Xiaohai avoided a pile of horse dung in front of him.

"It's normal. The more chaotic the world is, the more money the dart bureau makes. If the whole world is peaceful, there won't be any need for dart bureaus." Chun Xiaoman had just finished speaking when a muscular man in a short coat walked towards them. He was much taller than Chun Xiaoman and exuded a powerful aura when he walked.

After coming up to them, he quickly took a look at the woman wearing a black veil and calloused hands, then bowed with his fists clasped and asked with a smile on his face, "Miss, do you want to entrust us with your goods?"

"I am also a martial artist. I have heard that the martial arts of the dartsmen in each dart bureau are very good, so I came here to make friends and learn from them."

Hearing Chun Xiaoman's straightforward words, the dartsmen in front of her were stunned. They had encountered similar situations before, but it was the first time a woman had come to them asking to spar.

After thinking for a moment, he clasped his hands in return. "Miss, as the saying goes, 'there are no good words when people scold each other, and there are no good hands when people fight each other.' Let's forget about this. As you can see, the dart bureau is very busy, and the dartsmen are all out delivering goods."

Chun Xiaoman was not surprised to hear this. After all, they were doing business and would not fight for no reason.

She reached into her pocket and took out a couple of silver coins, handing them over. "I am self-taught in martial arts. Please teach me a thing or two."

"This..." Seeing that she insisted on sparring, Wang Chengxing hesitated. It wasn't about the silver coins, but he was afraid that she had ulterior motives.

He was afraid that she was pretending to be weak and wanted to use this opportunity to gain fame.

The reason why the dartsmen of Yuyong Dart Bureau were so famous was that they could fight. If they were easily defeated by a young woman, their reputation in the martial arts world would be ruined.

"What's the background of this girl? Is she a master hired by Guangsheng Dart Bureau to sabotage our business? Why do they still need to fight for territory when business is so good these days?"Those who can work as escorts not only have good fighting skills, but also quick thinking. After a while, Wang Chengxing came up with an idea to resolve the crisis. He first took the silver from Chun Xiaoman and then said, "Since the lady insists, please follow me." They passed by the parked carriages and the bustling lobby, and Wang Chengxing led them to the backyard.

The unfamiliar environment made Yang Xiaohai unconsciously lean towards Chun Xiaoman. "Sister, do you think they have any ulterior motives...?"

Looking at the surroundings, Chun Xiaoman shook her head. "This is a escort bureau, not a bandit's den. The people who run escort bureaus value their reputation the most. If their reputation is ruined, no one will hire them to escort goods."

Behind the bustling escort bureau was a spacious backyard. The weapon rack next to it was filled with various weapons. Some teenagers dressed in black short jackets were sparring and practicing their strength, looking like a martial arts training ground.

"You guys come over here!" Upon hearing Wang Chengxing's shout, the people in the yard put down what they were doing and came over to greet him.

"Hello, Uncle Wang!"

"Hello, Master!"

"Did Master eat yet?"

After looking around the crowd for a while, he pointed to a silent teenager. "It's you, Tianci. Come out and spar with this lady. Remember, it's a friendly competition. Stop when you reach your limit."

After saying these words, Wang Chengxing pulled another person over and asked him to guard the door so that no outsiders could come in. This method had two advantages. Firstly, even if they lost, no one would know, and it wouldn't affect the reputation of the escort bureau. Secondly, even if the person behind this young lady came out to confront them, they could say that the one who fought was just an inexperienced youngster.

Looking at the curious teenager in front of her, Chun Xiaoman didn't mind. She only needed an opponent to test her progress over the past few days. She was about to draw her long sword, but then she looked at the unarmed teenager in front of her and felt that it was inappropriate to use iron weapons. It wouldn't be fun if something happened.

Fortunately, there were many weapons in the training ground, and a shiny bamboo sword was handed to Chun Xiaoman. The other teenager didn't take a sword. Instead, he held a strange vine shield with a wide top and narrow bottom. Two wooden spikes, similar to wild beast fangs, protruded from the front end of the shield. He held the shield in a strange posture.

Chun Xiaoman furrowed her brows slightly and raised her sword to make a probing straight thrust. "Du...!" The wooden sword hit the vine shield, making a muffled sound. The teenager quickly lowered his strength and then pushed forward again. Chun Xiaoman's long sword was instantly knocked away.

While Chun Xiaoman was open, the teenager stepped forward with his right foot and pushed with both hands. The wooden spikes on the front of the vine shield went straight towards Chun Xiaoman's neck. Chun Xiaoman had never experienced this situation before and became flustered. She hurriedly tried to block with her sword, but when the sword was halfway back, the wooden spike was already on her neck.

The vine shield was retracted, and the teenager stood still, clasping his fists. "I concede."
