Xie Wuhua had been standing outside the door for a long time.
He was not in a hurry.
Even if he had to stand there for a day and a night, he would not lose his patience.
Fortunately, the people inside the door did not make him wait that long.
After that “long time,” there was the sound of light footsteps coming from the room, and then the door was opened.
The person who opened the door was a man.
He was tall, handsome, with a cold gaze and an overbearing aura.
His snow-white robe and the long sword at his waist were his symbols.
His cold temperament and reticent character were the only impressions people had of him.
“Hmph … You’re finally willing to come out and see me?” Although the door was open, Xie Wuhua still stood three steps away from the threshold, not daring to enter.
Leng yuqiu did not reply. She only looked at the square-faced young man in silence.
“What’s wrong? Don’t tell me … You didn’t even notice someone standing outside your guest room?” Xie Wuhua tried to sound him out again when he saw that the other party didn’t respond.
“I’ve noticed it,” Two seconds later, Leng yuqiu finally spoke. Her tone was cold, and there were some odd, broken pauses between her words.”I noticed you the moment you came.”
“Ha …” Xie Wuhua laughed.”So … While I was standing outside the door, you were hesitating whether to open the door or not?”
“I didn ‘t.” Leng yuqiu answered.
“Oh?” Xie Wuhua didn’t understand what he meant, so he used a tone to signal him to continue.
“I don’t want to open the door, and I don’t want to talk to you.” Leng yuqiu added after a breath.
“Ha!” Xie Wuhua laughed again … Coldly.”Then why did you open the door now?”
“I’m going to the toilet. ” Leng yuqiu’s answer was simple and to the point, but the point was … She could not question it.
After saying these words, he stepped forward, walked out of the room, and closed the guest room door.
He calmly walked past Xie Wuhua, completely ignoring him, and strode toward the first floor of the inn.
When he disappeared, Xie Wuhua was still standing.
Naturally, he would not chase after Leng yuqiu and argue with her. Only a scoundrel and a fool would stop a person who was about to use the toilet and engage in some kind of debate.
Xie Wuhua was neither a scoundrel nor a fool.
At this moment, young master Xie felt insulted. It was an insult called “indifference.”
Leng yuqiu’s reaction showed that … She regarded Xie Wuhua as an insignificant person. This made Xie Wuhua’s wait meaningless.
Xie Wuhua wanted to get angry, but he couldn ‘t.
Because in the process of thinking about how to explode, he suddenly realized that other than the title of “descendant of a famous family,” he really had no other reason not to be ignored.
Although Xie Wuhua had been out in the martial world for more than half a year, he had not left behind any traces.
How could such a person be valued by Leng yuqiu?
Of course, young master Xie ‘s’ mediocrity ‘wasn’t due to his lack of ability … In fact, Xie Wuhua could be said to be an expert in both literature and martial arts.
In terms of “literacy,” even if he was not as good as a scholar, he was still worthy of the word “educated and reasonable.” With this alone, in the Jianghu where rough men were everywhere … He could be considered as a crane among chickens.
As for the “martial” aspect, as the eldest son and grandson of the Xie clan, he had naturally inherited the true teachings of his ancestors. In the entire martial arts world, there was probably no one in his generation who could compare to him.
However … Having the ability did not necessarily mean that one would be able to achieve something.
The martial world was a funny place …
Here, the word “trouble” was almost on the same level as “opportunity.”
It was likely to bring you all kinds of losses, such as property, reputation, family, friends, life, and so on. All of them could disappear with the emergence of this word.
However, it could also bring you the same benefits …
In the pugilistic world, a person who had never been found by trouble and had never gone to find trouble for himself was definitely a failure.
Xie Wuhua’s awkward situation was: Because of the Xie family’s name, many troublesome “people” and “things” would take the initiative to avoid him. And because he always had uncle Liu by his side, many troublesome people and troubles that did not avoid him … Were also blocked by uncle Liu.
This resulted in the current young master of the Xie family, who “muddled in the martial world for half a year and still accomplished nothing.”
“Young master.” Not long after, uncle Liu’s familiar voice interrupted Xie Wuhua’s thoughts.
Liu Xilai’s loyalty and feelings for the Xie family were extremely deep. Back then, he was crippled after his defeat and was destined to have no descendants. As such, he, who had watched the young master of the Xie family grow up, had long treated him as his own grandson. This was also why the old master had arranged for uncle Liu to accompany the young master when Xie Wuhua had asked his grandfather to go to the martial world for “experience.”
“Are you alright?” Uncle Liu saw that the young master did not reply and asked with concern.
“It’s not good,” Xie Wuhua knew that uncle Liu had been watching him, so he was not surprised by his sudden appearance.
“You shouldn’t have been so’ polite ‘.” Uncle Liu also knew that his young master had been wronged, but he would never use the method of coaxing a child to persuade him. He would directly point out the key to the matter.
“Yeah …” Xie Wuhua sighed.”I don’t think I have the right to be ‘polite’ to him.”
“Indeed not.” Uncle Liu said.
“You should have told me when I decided to come.” Xie Wuhua said.
“I’m afraid you won’t be able to understand what I mean if I tell you then. ” Uncle Liu said.
“Hmm …” Xie Wuhua pondered for half a second.”…You’re right.”
“However, it’s not too late … To understand now.” Uncle Liu said.
“Hehe …” Xie Wuhua’s smile returned.”Yes, it’s not too late!”
…………
When Leng yuqiu returned to her room, she was still as cold as ever.
He entered the room and closed the door behind him.
As for the fact that his door was opened and the two people sitting in his room … He acted as if he didn’t see it and didn’t make any reaction or comment.
Xie Wuhua and Liu Xilai were drinking tea in Leng yuqiu’s room.
The tea had just been served by the waiter, and the teapot and teacups were new. These were all specially instructed by uncle Liu. He did not want to use the tea set in someone else’s room because it was likely to have been poisoned.
“We have something to ask you.” This time, it was uncle Liu who spoke first.
Leng yuqiu ignored him. She returned to her bed and sat down. She started meditating.
“You killed beard MA, right?” Even if the other party did not respond, Xie Wuhua continued to ask uncle Liu the question he wanted to ask.
Leng yuqiu, who was meditating on the bed, had her eyes closed.
“It’s useless even if you pretend. ” Xie Wuhua continued,”even if you can fool the world, you can’t fool me …” He paused.”From your sitting posture, standing posture, walking posture, and breathing pattern … I can tell that you’re proficient in at least two palm techniques and a leg technique in addition to sword techniques. You also have a superior internal strength technique.”
“So what if I am?” At this moment, Leng yuqiu finally spoke. However, her eyes were still closed and her tone was nonchalant.
“Beard Ma’s fatal injury, which is also the only place on his body that was hit, was half a point below his ribs.” Xie Wuhua continued,”in this town, there are less than 20 people who can tell that the weak point of the double fatal palm is located there. There were less than ten people who could hit that place with one palm in actual combat. And you … Are naturally one of those ten. ”
“Of course, this alone is not enough to prove that you are the murderer.” In the next second, uncle Liu took the opportunity to continue the conversation.”The real reason why we are certain that it was you is that … We can be sure that the palm print under beard Ma’s ribs was made by the palm of a person who uses a sword.” He paused for half a second.”Maybe you don’t notice it, but people who practice different weapons and different martial arts techniques have different hands. For example, the area between a swordsman’s thumb and index finger …”
“Liu Xilai,” Suddenly, Leng yuqiu interrupted uncle Liu’s words. This was the first time he had joined the conversation between the two of them in such a way.”You don’t have to tell me the details of your deductions …” His tone was calm and his eyes were still closed.”I have never denied the fact that I killed beard MA.”
Both uncle Liu and Xie Wuhua were taken aback. They looked at each other, and Xie Wuhua said,””Hmph … You seem to be quite calm now. If that’s the case, why did you use your palm as a sword when you killed … And hide it?”
“Using the palm as a sword is not to hide anything.” Leng yuqiu said.
“Oh? Then why?” Xie Wuhua asked.
“It’s because he doesn’t deserve to die under my sword. ” This was Leng yuqiu’s answer.
This answer sounded like an excuse. However, when it came out of Leng yuqiu’s mouth, young master Xie and uncle Liu were convinced that he was not lying.
“So … He deserves to die?” Uncle Liu didn’t ask the other party for the specific motive for the murder. He knew that such a question would cross the line, so … He asked a question that sounded a little like nonsense.
“Damn it.” However, Leng yuqiu’s firm answer made the question meaningful.
“Why did you attack me at this time and place?” Uncle Liu said.
“Where, when, and …” Leng yuqiu paused for a moment.”Who I kill …” These words were meant for the two people in the room.”…It’s my freedom.”
“It seems like … We were too nosy.” After all, uncle Liu was experienced and ruthless. He had already sensed the change in the atmosphere and quickly found a way out, wanting to pull the young master down with him.
“Yes, I am.” Leng yuqiu replied coldly. She understood what the other party meant.
“Since that’s the case … It’s not convenient for us to say anything more …” Uncle Liu stood up and bowed.”We’ve disturbed hero Leng. We hope that you can forgive us if we’ve offended you.”
As he spoke and did, he gave young master Xie a look.
Xie Wuhua was a sensible man. He stood up immediately and cupped his fists at Leng yuqiu. “I’m sorry to offend. ”
On the surface, the two of them were very polite, but in reality, their bodies and nerves were already prepared to deal with the attack.
“I won’t disturb your rest.” Uncle Liu then said,”we’ll take our leave now …”
“Don’t be in such a hurry to leave. ” Unexpectedly, at this moment, Leng yuqiu took the initiative to speak.”I still have something to say.”
Uncle Liu and young master Xie broke out in cold sweat when they heard the words “I still have something to say …”
“Swordsman Leng … Is there anything else?” Uncle Liu asked.
“Don’t you want to know …” Leng yuqiu continued,”why beard MA ‘deserved to die’?”
Liu Xilai’s face turned pale when he heard this. His instinct had already told him what Leng yuqiu was up to.
“I don ‘t!” Uncle Liu almost roared out these two words.
“Because he interrupted my ‘sword practice’,” Leng yuqiu continued to speak as if she had not heard him.
Liu Xilai suddenly dropped to his knees. His body was trembling, his voice was trembling, and even his soul … Was trembling.”Hero Leng! These words … I’ll be the only one listening! Our young master is young and ignorant … He didn’t mean to offend you. He still has a bright future ahead of him …”
“No,” This was the second and last time Leng yuqiu interrupted uncle Liu,”I want him to listen.”
When he heard the word “no,” uncle Liu was in despair. When that kind of despair appeared on his face, he seemed to have aged decades in an instant … From a spirited martial arts senior to an old man with one foot in the grave.
“Uncle Liu! Why are you doing this?” Xie Wuhua did not fully understand the situation. Although he had a vague feeling … He was still too young and had not experienced the true cruelty of the martial world.
“People always think that if they do something wrong, as long as they discover it in time and admit their mistake, they can make up for it … And there will be a second chance.” Leng yuqiu opened her eyes.”But I don’t like to give people a second chance. I don’t want others to think that they can ‘make a mistake’ in front of me.” His tone was cold, and so was his eyes.”I don’t know why, but everyone has a common understanding … As long as we kneel down, beg, and repent after the matter … We can make up for our rudeness, offense, and hurt …
“Because it is something that most people acknowledge, it becomes ‘reason’, and then it can become ‘law’…
“However, can things in this world…Really be so’ logical ‘?
“The world thinks that the thief’s crime is not worthy of death, so the thief can only accept it. The common people felt that the sin of rape did not warrant death, and the victim could only accept it. The world felt that those who bullied others did not deserve to die, and those who were bullied could only accept it …
“However, those who made the decision, those ‘majority’, those who speak of morality and benevolence … How many of them have experienced the feeling of their important things or hard work being stolen, how many of them have personally experienced the feeling of being raped, and how many of them know the feeling of being bullied for years but not daring to speak up …
“Humiliation, sorrow, despair, grievance, indescribable pressure … Is there really a ‘logic’ in this world that can accurately measure the pain of the victim and give corresponding punishment?
“At least in my opinion, No.
“But I … I thought of a relatively fair way, a very simple way to let the victims decide how to deal with those who made mistakes.
“Of course, everyone’s standard of judgment is different. Some people want to kill the other party’s entire family if they’re hit on the shoulder on the street, and some people say it doesn’t matter if they’re slapped.
“So I have to admit … My method is actually not as suitable as the ‘law’.
“It can only be used on a small number of people …
“For example, people like me.”
Before today, Xie Wuhua and Liu Xilai would never have dreamed that Leng yuqiu would say such a long sentence.
No one in the martial world had ever heard Leng yuqiu say so much. That was because … Those who had heard her were all dead.
Actually, Leng yuqiu was not a quiet person.
He was just a person with a strange personality.
He was extremely introverted, so much so that he would get nervous if he said a few more words in front of others.
Therefore, he rarely spoke and hardly made any friends.
Only under certain circumstances would he completely relax and start a conversation, chatting with the person in front of him for a while.
And that “situation” was … When he was about to kill the other party.
