"Are you going to say something else? Things change over time, don't look down on young people who are poor?" The man laughed. "You young people who claim to be proud love to say such big words!"

"...That's not the case."

Jiang Ruohua was a little speechless. She didn't want to make any comments on this arrogant sarcasm. She didn't know how the other party knew that she was going to say such a sentence.

Besides, it was useless to say this. Jiang Ruohua didn't like to say unnecessary words or do unnecessary things. In this place, strength speaks. Instead of saying such words and being laughed at, it is better to study hard and see how she learns the skills of this arrogant guy and kill him directly!

What's the point of talking big? She will use her strength to make those who humiliate her unable to even beg for mercy one day!

"I came here just to become your disciple. Whether I am qualified or not is up to you, but you are undoubtedly qualified to be my master." Jiang Ruohua spoke in a slow and steady voice. After figuring things out, she was neither arrogant nor impatient. She could remain calm even when she was pinned to the ground. Since her purpose was clear, she could calm down naturally.

This slow and steady manner made the man not know what to say for a moment. Jiang Ruohua said this and then shut up, saying, "No matter what you say, I will not leave today." No matter how sharp her words were, they did not seem to hurt Jiang Ruohua. The man widened his eyes, pointed at Jiang Ruohua and said hello three times.

"Okay, okay!" He put away the stick. "Shameless little girl, I want to see how long you can keep pretending. If you want to worship me, I will allow you to do so. Let's see how long you can endure it!"

"There are so many people in this world who want to take me as their master. Whether you can learn anything from them depends on whether you have the luck! I will never show mercy to my disciples!"

Jiang Ruohua didn't waste his words. He nodded after hearing what he said, and knelt down and kowtowed three times on the spot: "Master, accept my disciple's greetings."

The man accepted Jiang Ruohua's apprenticeship gift, was stunned for a moment and snorted coldly: "Hmph, don't be happy. What the hell was that you just hit? The force point is totally wrong. It's a waste of time. The kick should be like this, the punch should be like this... There are endless top martial arts in the world, don't think that you are nothing after being a martial arts general!..."

Jiang Ruohua: "Yeah."

So much nonsense.

It was something that could be said in just a few simple sentences, but this weird master insisted on making one sentence into three, including ridicule and mockery. It would be a waste of talent if he

didn't become a censor with such eloquence. But it didn't matter. She picked out what she wanted to hear and let the rest go in one ear and out the other. She didn't take it to heart at all.

As if she had said enough, the man closed his mouth reluctantly. Or maybe Jiang Ruohua's reaction was not what he thought. After pointing out the minor flaws in Jiang Ruohua's moves, he turned around and dragged Hu Xingxing out from under the eaves!

"Master... Master..."

Hu Xingxing was so scared that her legs went limp and she fell to her knees.

"You've brought shame upon me!" The weird master cursed, "You fool, what are you so proud of? What are you capable of? You are nothing compared to others, and you just go and provoke me. What abilities do you have? You've been played like a monkey by others so many times!"

His harsh scolding instantly made Hu Xingxing's eyes red. The complacent girl immediately turned into a frost-bitten eggplant, hanging her head and sobbing softly. But this did not calm the weird master down, but made him even more aggressive!

"Cry, cry, cry! You cry every day, and you lose to others right away. Where is your usual smug look?"

"Wow!" Hu Xingxing was just a little girl of fourteen or fifteen years old. How could she bear such scolding? She couldn't help crying loudly, "I don't dare, Master!"

"Don't dare what? You dare very much!"

Jiang Ruohua stood aside, turning a deaf ear to all these, and even felt sleepy. She wanted to go back to sleep.

After scolding Hu Xingxing, this weirdo took off his hat, revealing his true face, and sat down on the stool brought by Little Radish in a very arrogant manner.

The skin was rough and weathered, and the half-grown hair, eyebrows and beard showed that this man was over fifty years old, older than Jiang Ruohua's father, but still a dozen years younger than his grandfather. He had deep eyes, a straight nose, thin lips, and several scars on his face, as if they were deliberately cut with a dagger. Jiang Ruohua had seen this kind of method in her dreams. Most of them were women who were jealous of their beautiful faces and were deliberately done to them by others. The scars and wrinkles mixed together, coupled with the unkempt appearance, gave people the illusion of being ferocious and evil.

He tilted his head and took out a pot of wine from his pocket to drink, and raised his head to face the moonlight. Jiang Ruohua's breath was choked, staring at the tattoo on the face of this evil master he had just worshipped in disbelief!

In the Great Qi Dynasty, only the most vicious people would get tattoos, be exiled or beheaded, suffer for life or be sentenced to extreme punishment, and all their family members would be implicated!

If you think about him carefully, it is not difficult to see that if he were neat and tidy, his handsome features would definitely shine when he was young!

"...Xu Weiqing."

When the features matched, Jiang Ruohua guessed who he was, but the next moment, the man who had been watching on the roof jumped down, unsheathed his sword, and stood in front of him, ready to go, as if he would attack without mercy if he said one more word!

Even Hu Xingxing, who had been crying just now, stopped crying and picked up the whip, looking at him vigilantly.

Jiang Ruohua looked up at the man who was confronting her with the sword. His whole face was covered by a mask. He had good skills. Without a weapon, she was afraid that she could not beat him, but she did not intend to be afraid. The name Xu Weiqing was a taboo in the Da Qi Dynasty, and the incident involving him happened sixteen years ago. She herself was only about to turn sixteen, and all she knew was what the elders occasionally mentioned, and they strictly told her not to tell anyone.

"Eighteen years ago, the emperor appointed him as the top scholar. He was a man of both civil and military talents, talented and handsome. He knew everything and could do everything. He was a top official for two years. Later, he committed a serious crime and was sentenced to death. His whereabouts are unknown until now."

This is what Jiang Ruohua knows. What serious crime did Xu Weiqing commit? Why did he cause the emperor to be furious? Why did he appear in Beijing after his whereabouts were unknown? And it was related to his grandfather. All these are mysteries to Jiang Ruohua.

The masked man pointed his sword at himself with a cold light, which was very threatening. Jiang Ruohua sneered, "I don't know who you are, but I think you are familiar with my master. My master knows who I am. If he wanted to hide it, he shouldn't show up in front of me today. Since he has revealed it, why are you so afraid to point your sword at me?"
