"Cheers! Cheers!"
Ye Qian, Liu Mingxun, and Zhang Hao sat facing each other in a small restaurant near the entrance of No. 1 High School. They ordered a few dishes and started to drink heartily. After all, he had been busy the entire day, so he was still quite tired. Occasionally, he would gather with a few friends, order a few dishes, and have a drink on this weekend's night. It was a happy occasion!
However, ever since Liu Shengmingyue had left, Zhang Hao's emotions had not been in high spirits. On the contrary, his mind would often wander during drinking.
After a few cups of wine, Zhang Hao also became more bold. He stared at Ye Qian and asked hollowly: "Brother Ye, do you think I'm too weak now? How do I make myself stronger?"
Regarding Zhang Hao's question, Liu Mingchuan and Ye Qian looked at each other.
"Sigh, Brother-in-law, I think Hyacinth's soul was completely taken away by that little girl, Liu Shengmingyue. Now, all of your thoughts are on how to defeat Liu Shengmingyue, and how to capture the young lady's heart. " Liu Mingchuan laughed bitterly and shook her head.
Zhang Hao didn't care about Liu Mingchuan, his eyes were already staring straight at Ye Qian, as if he was looking for an answer.
The corner of Ye Qian's mouth lightly tapped on the wine cup beside him and laughed: "Weak? Hyacinth, do you feel that you are very weak right now? "
"Isn't it?" Zhang Hao raised his head, puzzled.
Ye Qian laughed lightly with a hint of ridicule. Indeed, in Ye Qian's eyes, Zhang Hao was weak. But Ye Qian came from the Immortal World, his perspective had decided his position. In the entire Mortal Realm, there seemed to be no Ye Qian, the Ranker that First Immortal of the Nine Realms thought he was. After all, the true experts no longer belonged to this plane.
"Hyacinth, the difference between strong and weak depends on how you understand them!" Ye Qian said, he then touched the wine in his cup and asked: "This drop of wine, do you feel that he is weak or strong?"
Zhang Hao was in a trance for a while, then shook his head: "I, I don't know!"
Ye Qian continued to laugh, and said: "Hyacinth, whether this drop of wine is weak or strong, depends on who drinks it. In the eyes of a mass of drunkards, this is just an ordinary beverage. In front of a girl who doesn't even touch a single drop of wine, a single drop of wine is enough to make her blush to the ears! "
Liu Mingchuan chuckled and teased at the side: "Brother-in-law, you're talking about relativity right?"
Ye Qian was already used to being called brother-in-law, so he didn't care at all.
It's just that towards Ye Qian's words, Zhang Hao, this silly kid, still seemed to understand him a little.
"Hyacinth, looks like fighting that little girl Liu Shengmingyue today has dealt a huge blow to your confidence!" Ye Qian picked up a mouthful of food and asked without hiding anything.
Zhang Hao hurriedly nodded his head. Originally, after he had singlehandedly challenged the entire Taekwondo, Zhang Hao's self-confidence was already in an explosive state. But today, Zhang Hao felt powerless in the face of this little girl. This caused his confidence to be greatly shaken, and he once again questioned his own strength.
"Ha ha!" Ye Qian laughed and said: "Hyacinth, as a person, you shouldn't act so arrogantly, and don't belittle yourself. You are indeed not a match for Liu Shengmingyue now, this is true. But you need to see clearly that Liu Shengmingyue is different from Jin Taiming. At most, Jin Taiming was someone who came from a clan halfway through, he was half an ordinary person. However, Liu Shengmingyue was different. From her swordsmanship, you can see that she had started to delude into the way of the sword since she was at least five or six years old.
Zhang Hao understood this logic, but he wanted to ask: "Brother Ye, with my current cultivation speed, when will I be able to defeat her?"
Liu Mingchuan laughed mischievously by the side: "Hyacinth, I think it's fake that you want to defeat me. It's probably true that you want to chase me!"
Liu Mingchuan's words made Zhang Hao's face turn red, and he hurriedly raised the wine cup beside him to cover up the awkwardness in his heart.
Ye Qian naturally understood what Zhang Hao was thinking, but he didn't expose his, and only softly said, "Hyacinth, I remember telling you before that cultivation was originally against the will of the heavens, and speed is not the way to go. With your current level, your foundation is not solid. Facing against Jin Taiming who is such a stingy guy, I have ways to defeat him quickly. But facing Liu Shengmingyue, there was basically no quick way to do it. If you want to openly defeat her, you will need at least a year of unremitting cultivation! "
"One year? "One year?" Zhang Hao muttered as he drank his wine. As he said that, he picked up the wine cup beside his hand and drank it all in one gulp.
Ye Qian only squinted his eyes, quietly watching the scene unfold. It was as if Ye Qian saw from Zhang Hao's strong self-esteem that he was the same as many years ago, persistent, stubborn, and unwilling to admit defeat. All of these were the sources of strong power.
The past Jin Taiming, and the current Liu Shengmingyue, seemed to have all become the threshold for Zhang Hao's advancement, causing him to be unable to stop, and allowed him to continue onward.
Seeing the strong motivation emitted from Zhang Hao's body, even Liu Mingchuan who was at the side could not help but be envious and jealous.
However, Liu Mingchuan's personality was naturally different from Zhang Hao. He did not have such a strong will to fight like Zhang Hao, and Liu Mingchuan was one of those people who would do whatever they wanted and rest whenever they met him. Therefore, towards the stubborn power that was emitted from Zhang Hao's body, he was first shaken, then laughed, and left alone.
Gently pressing down on Zhang Hao's shoulder, Liu Mingchuan let out a laugh, "Enough, Hyacinth, don't go over there and think about it, isn't it just an island girl? What's so special about his? Is it worth for us brothers to make such a big fuss about his?"
Liu Mingchuan then laughed sinisterly: "How about this, Hyacinth, don't say that I won't take care of you. I just happen to be on vacation today. Bro, how about we take you to take a stroll in the Di Dao Hall. Although this night life in Linhai is not as good as in Demonic City, it's still quite fascinating! "
Laughing mischievously, Liu Mingchuan said softly after he paused for a while, "The most important thing is that there are a lot of lonely young married women in the club during the weekend! I promise you, after a night of debauchery, you will forget all about that bullshit Liu Shengmingyue. "
Liu Mingchuan looked like a strong wind and moon master. It was no wonder why the young master Liu Family had such a reputation.
With regards to Liu Mingchuan's suggestion, Ye Qian did not object, but only smiled gently. After all, there was an old saying, isn't it true that people do not flirt around with youths? Moreover, Zhang Hao's current state wasn't suitable for him to be overly tense, so occasionally relaxing a bit wasn't too surprising.
Just as Ye Qian, Zhang Hao and the other two were discussing about where to go during the night, in the middle of the night at Linhai, a nearby villa was brightly lit.
In the living room of a Japanese-style villa, two figures were sitting on the tatami. A cup of steaming hot tea was placed in the middle of the tea table.
Who else could it be other than the beautiful female swordsman Liu Shengmingyue and her teacher?
The middle-aged man gently shook the teacup filled with tea powder in his hand and poured the tea into the cup. Then, he gently stirred the tea powder and the aroma of tea filled the air.
Liu Shengmingyue stuck out her tongue, then impatiently took the teacup from the middle aged man's hand. She lightly sipped, and praised: "Good taste, good taste. It would be great if we could have tea personally brewed by our teacher every day. "
The middle-aged man laughed and scolded, "You greedy little girl!"
As he said this, the middle-aged man replied, "I remember that your grandmaster once taught me that the way of the sword is the way of tea. When I was young, I couldn't understand it at all."
"Mingyue, if you have the chance in the future, calm down and try some tea. It will be of great help to your cultivation in the path of the sword." The current you is already familiar with both the moves and the movement technique, but the only difference is the word 'comprehension'. "The Eastern man has an old saying, 'Body Treading Through the Heart'. When will you be able to comprehend the Dao, and when your Sword Truth will be fully mastered, you will be able to master it!"
"Ha Yi, Mingyue will listen to teacher's teachings!"
The middle-aged man looked at his beloved disciple, who was a cute little girl like an elf, and nodded his head in satisfaction.
Suddenly, the middle-aged man laughed: "Mingyue, did you secretly run out to fight with that Dongfang kid called Zhang Hao today?"
Liu Shengmingyue was shocked, her face full of fear: "Teacher, you, you know?"
The middle-aged man chuckled and took a sip of the tea beside him, "Mingyue, you're my student. How could you not know what you're going to do as a teacher?"
Suddenly, the middle-aged man smiled and asked again: "Since we've exchanged blows, then there's no need to hide it anymore. How about it, how about that young man from the east called Zhang Hao?"
Liu Shengmingyue's head was lowered, and when she thought of the big mistake she made today, her face instantly flushed red, and she had an uneasy feeling on her face.
After a long while, Liu Shengmingyue then said: "Master is right, Zhang Hao is indeed an expert among the young generation. Although I only exchanged a few blows with him, I was unable to break through his defenses. In the end, I had no choice but to use the Liu Family's Heavenly Sword Truth, but … "
"But what?" The middle-aged man asked.
Liu Shengmingyue lowered her head even more, and stuttered as she said Long Term Talent: "But I was stopped by Ye Sang who suddenly appeared, and Ye Sang's terror was even above Lord Zhang Hao. "With just one move, it caused all the blood energy in my body to boil. I won't dare to attack again!"
"Ye Sang?" The middle-aged man's brows slightly knitted, and said. "The Ye Qian who crippled Jin Taiming in one move?"
"That's right, it's him!" Liu Shengmingyue nodded.
The middle-aged man laughed strangely and said, "That's right, that's right. He is indeed a terrifying young man. Even in the whole of the East Ocean Continent, the number of talented people who possessed such terrifying strength at such a young age could be counted on one's fingers. If a person like him is not in the East Ocean Continent's control, then once he grows up, he will definitely become a stumbling block for the Great Ocean Emperor! "
Hearing the middle-aged man's words, Liu Shengmingyue felt a burst of shock, and said fearfully: "Teacher, you, you want to personally deal with him?"
The middle-aged man smiled and waved his hand: "No, no, no." I would never do something like bullying the weak that goes against the spirit of martial arts. But I think that it won't be long before that person arrives at the Linhai. As a young person, I will naturally let the young ones handle this matter.
As he spoke, the middle-aged man was sipping a cup of tea. His face was full of expectation. Different from the middle-aged man, Liu Shengmingyue's face was filled with displeasure and anger. He said unhappily in his heart: That stinky guy, what is he doing in Li Linhai?
