Chapter 308 A Real Disgrace to the Martial Arts Alliance
Looking in the direction of the sound, they saw Jiang Liuyun wielding his sword with a pained expression.
Yu Zhiyi asked her curiously, "Why are you practicing your sword in the middle of the night instead of sleeping?"
It's not uncommon for martial artists to practice swordsmanship, but everyone has their own habits. Most people prefer to practice in the morning, like Jiang Liuyun.
During the time they knew each other, he would get up early to practice his martial arts and swordsmanship, and even after returning to Mingshan, he did not change this habit.
It's hard not to be curious about someone suddenly doing something so unusual in the middle of the night.
Jiang Liuyun wore a bitter expression: "No...it's nothing. I just suddenly realized that my skills are not up to par, so I want to improve them."
Yu Zhiyi raised an eyebrow, clearly sensing that this was not the truth.
However, since he was unwilling to talk about it, she didn't ask any further questions. After all, martial artists are tough and thick-skinned, so practicing a few more times wouldn't be a big problem.
"Then you continue, I'm going to rest first."
Jiang Liuyun visibly breathed a sigh of relief: "Okay, sister, get some rest."
After Yu Zhiyi left, Jiang Liuyun's eyes narrowed, and he continued practicing his sword.
Why would he practice swordsmanship in the middle of the night?
He was naturally punished by his elder brother.
The older brother said that he couldn't protect his sister during his trip and should be punished.
He was initially very unconvinced, thinking, "But nothing happened, right?"
But the older brother said that nothing happened because his sister was very capable, which did not conflict with his inability to protect others.
If he were a little smarter and more capable, his sister wouldn't have needed to be provoked into going on stage.
Why did those people let the older sister play?
Are you really worried that the Martial Arts Alliance will be unable to function properly without Chen Xinyue?
No, it isn't.
They were just bullying my sister because she didn't know martial arts.
If someone who doesn't know martial arts goes on stage, especially representing the Martial Arts Alliance, there's a 90% chance they'll lose.
As for whether someone who doesn't know martial arts or even how to ride a horse will get hurt if they are forced into this situation,
Who cares?
They not only didn't care, they even hoped their sister would get hurt.
In this way, they can ridicule the Martial Arts Alliance to their heart's content.
If it weren't for my sister's ability to stand up for herself, not only would the Martial Alliance have lost face today, but my sister might also have suffered serious injuries.
This does not include the various forms of ridicule and abuse.
He hadn't thought of any of these things beforehand.
Therefore, he accepted the punishment.
After unleashing 20,000 sword strikes, he went to the bronze statue formation on the back mountain.
This bronze statue formation is a unique feature of the Martial Alliance. Normally, it is used as a training tool, but if someone is punished and triggers the bronze statue formation's punishment mechanism, it can be extremely brutal.
If possible, no one would want to trigger the punishment mechanism.
Because it really is a matter of life and death.
In the following days, Yu Zhiyi did not see Jiang Liuyun again.
However, he was wearing her defensive jade pendant and was completely clean, so there was nothing to worry about.
She didn't think much of it. The next day at breakfast, Jiang Liushuang changed into a blue long gown, but no matter what clothes he wore, he couldn't hide his ostentatious nature.
Yu Zhiyi found it quite amazing that such an upright person as Jiang Mengzhu and such an upright older brother as Jiang Liuting could raise such a flamboyant son and younger brother.
"Second sister, I'm going out now."
Yu Zhiyi glanced at his face and said indifferently, "Third Brother, please do as you please."
Jiang Liushuang raised her hand, wanting to pat her shoulder, but she dodged it.
He didn't care, gave her a meaningful look, and then slowly walked out with a swaying gait.
Yu Zhiyi knew very well what that look in his eyes meant when he left.
Although the third brother didn't say anything, he didn't believe her.
So, he made a point of mentioning it to tell her—I'm about to start slapping you in the face.
Yu Zhiyi didn't bother with it.
In any case, this person will most likely fall into a coma in the end, and then be sexually assaulted in his dream.
Since we won't die, there's nothing to worry about.
As the date of the Earth Ranking Conference draws closer, members of the Martial Arts Alliance have begun to arrive one after another.
The territory of the Martial Alliance is vast, and there are plenty of places to stay on the mountain. Apart from those who enjoy a lively atmosphere and choose to stay in the county town, and those who are not qualified to stay temporarily in the Martial Alliance, many people bring their families and go up the mountain with invitations.
Yu Zhiyi didn't like joining in the fun. After exploring Mingshan early on, she stayed in her own courtyard and was too lazy to go out unless necessary.
As evening fell, the family arrived at the dining room.
The martial arts alliance has few rules in other matters, but there is one thing: everyone must eat three meals a day together.
Unless you're not on the mountain.
Yu Zhiyi adapted to local customs and did not seek any special treatment.
Just as they were about to leave, they saw the heir of the Marquis of Wu'an return.
Li Rou visibly breathed a sigh of relief, but said nothing.
The heir of the Marquis of Wu'an first bowed to Yu Zhiyi, then looked at Li Rou before saying, "Miss, I need two people."
Yu Zhiyi glanced at his face before saying, "Go back to your room and wash up first, and bring more dry food. Hmm... resting for a day before going is the same."
The heir of the Marquis of Wu'an was taken aback; such a request was indeed rather strange.
However, he understood Yu Zhiyi and knew that she was not one to speak without reason, so he nodded in agreement.
He had been outside for a day and a night, and by all accounts, he should have gone to wash up and rest by now. However, as a guard, he was not so fussy and decided to wait until Yu Zhiyi had rested before doing so.
So he followed the two of them toward the dining room.
You'll see several strangers along the way; these are people who have come to participate in the Earth Ranking Conference.
The Martial Arts Alliance has a place specifically for providing them with food, but it is not located with the Jiang family.
Yu Zhiyi and the others kept their eyes straight ahead, not taking these people seriously.
Those people were clearly regulars at the Martial Arts Alliance.
Seeing that Yu Zhiyi and the others looked unfamiliar, they quickly guessed that Yu Zhiyi was the second young lady who had just been found.
Some people's expressions immediately became very peculiar.
Someone was about to go up and strike up a conversation.
Yu Zhiyi anticipated their prediction and immediately sped up, turning a corner to avoid them and quickly arriving at the dining hall.
Even the most shameless person in the martial arts world would never go to someone's dining room to eat without being invited.
Thus, these people could only watch helplessly as Yu Zhiyi and the others disappeared from the spot.
Someone couldn't help but spit out, "What is she? Does she really think she's some kind of rich girl? She doesn't even bother to talk to us, does she really think I don't want to talk to her!"
At that time, the heir of the Marquis of Wu'an had not yet come to his senses.
Upon hearing this, he turned and glanced at the person who had spoken, his eyes icy cold.
People in the imperial court and people in the martial arts world have very different temperaments.
In particular, the heir of the Marquis of Wu'an has been raised as the successor of the Marquis's mansion since childhood, so his nobility and imposing manner are self-evident.
The person whose gaze was fixed on felt a chill run through their body, as if their head was about to slip off their neck.
It wasn't until the Marquis of Wu'an's heir withdrew his gaze that the man felt his head and neck glued together again.
He breathed a sigh of relief, then became furious: "What a piece of trash! He's just a lackey, yet he dares to glare at me!"
After saying that, he gave a cold laugh: "This second young lady is indeed as rumored, pretending to be aloof! Heh, I don't know where she grew up all these years, she actually learned this hypocritical manner. She is not like a member of the Martial Alliance at all, she really disgraces the Martial Alliance."
