...
Xia Tounan followed He Yishou all the way to a square in the market before stopping.
It was lunchtime, and many people who went out to work would just find a stall or tavern in the square to eat a quick meal, which was the busiest time of day.
Seeing He Yishou stop, Xia Tounan couldn't help but ask, "Why did you bring me here?"
He Yishou did not reply, but pointed to the middle of four pillars that were over ten feet high and about six or seven people thick, and said, "Let's do it here."
Then he walked slowly to the pillar, slowly took off half of his sleeve, revealing his shriveled left arm, and then tied the half sleeve tightly around his waist.
Xia Tounan frowned: "What exactly do you want to do?"
He Yishou turned around and said with a smile: "Let me introduce myself to you again. I am the director of Yangwei Dojo. He Yishou, Mr. Xia embarrassed me on the street yesterday.
After returning home, my disciples began to doubt and question my strength and authority. Therefore, I summoned you here today to regain my standing and restore my prestige.
He grinned, revealing a set of black and yellow teeth.
Upon hearing this, Xia Tounan said, "So you want to take revenge on me? Unfortunately, I'm injured today, so I'm sorry I can't accompany you!"
After saying that, he turned to leave.
Unexpectedly, He Yishou's contemptuous tone came: "Is this all the esteemed young master of the Ziyuan Xia family is capable of? Of course, if you dare not challenge me, I will not force you."
"All you need to do is shout 'I'm a coward' three times in this square, and I'll let you go without making things difficult for you."
Upon hearing this, Xia Tounan immediately became angry and turned around to say angrily, "I, Xia Tounan, am a proud son of heaven, representing the honor of the Xia family. How could I possibly be a coward?"
I advise you to take back what you just said immediately, or you won't be able to withstand the Xia family's retaliation!
He Yishou chuckled, "People say that the young master of the Xia family is a man of both literary and martial talents, but it seems today he's nothing more than a fame-seeker. Alright, since that's the case, this old man won't bother with a junior like you."
"Run! Run as far away as possible! Let people know that the Xia family is nothing but a bunch of good-for-nothings, utterly devoid of any distinguished lineage!"
How can anyone tolerate this?
Xia Tounan was immediately enraged and stepped forward to stand opposite He Yishou: "Old man, you want to provoke me? Then let me tell you, you've succeeded!"
"I can defeat you in one move, and I can certainly beat you to a pulp again. Come on!"
Having said that, disregarding his internal injuries, he channeled his spiritual energy, preparing to give He Yishou another beating.
Although he was injured, his victory over his opponent yesterday gave him great confidence, and he believed that he could beat the old man to a pulp again with his own strength.
"Oh……"
As the crowd of onlookers grew larger, He Yishou could not hide his excitement. He raised his hand and gestured for Xia Tounan to attack.
"Watch this!"
Facing He Yishou's provocation, Xia Tounan directly used the White Cloud Palm to take the initiative to attack the enemy.
However, He Yishou moved swiftly, dodging Xia Tounan's palm strike in the blink of an eye, and instantly appeared in front of him.
"you……"
Before he could even utter a word, He Yishou unleashed a lightning-fast five-strike whip combo, relentlessly hammering Xia Tounan's head until he was completely stunned.
Before Xia Tounan could react, He Yishou grabbed one of his left fingers tightly, and then his body began to spin like a floating cloud.
"Bang!"
With a loud crash, Xia Tounan's cheek made heavy contact with a pillar.
Before he could even notice if his face was disfigured, He grabbed his fingers and pushed him to the other side with his palm, causing his body to crash into another pillar.
And so, Xia Tounan was like a hammer, randomly striking at around 80 centimeters at a time, leaving him utterly defenseless.
Several times, Xia Tounan tried to break free from He Yishou by relying on his cultivation, but no matter how much he tried to circulate his energy, his deformed finger could not be separated from He Yishou.
He Yishou's Entangling Silk Force and Soft Cloud Hand were like a magnet, firmly locking onto Xia Tounan's vital points, causing him immense pain.
After several rounds, Xia Tounan's consciousness became blurred. Finally, with a twist of He Yishou's hand, he fell heavily to the ground into a semi-conscious state, quickly ending the battle.
Looking at Xia Tounan, who was numb and covered in injuries, He Yishou silently put on his clothes, stood beside him and said, "Alright, Young Master Xia, let's call off the feud between you and my Yangwei Dojo. From now on, we'll keep to ourselves."
After saying that, he smiled and left the square.
...
After a long while, Xia Tounan, leaning on a cane and with bandages wrapped around his face, limped back to the teahouse where Lu Xuanji was.
At this time, exactly quarter of an hour had passed.
"you……"
Seeing Xia Tounan's demeanor, Lu Xuanji was at a loss for words and just looked at him suspiciously.
Xia Tounan grimaced, enduring the pain all over her body, and sat down with difficulty: "Miss Lu, I'm fine, it's just a minor injury, it's nothing serious."
You must never show the slightest sign of pain in front of your loved one.
"Young Master Xia, so you've been here!"
Just as Xia Tounan was about to continue telling Lu Xuanji how to help him get rid of Lu Chen's entanglement, Feng Xiunian, who was just passing by on the street, "accidentally" saw the two of them and immediately shouted as he entered the teahouse.
"Miss Lu, I have some private matters I wish to discuss with Young Master Xia. Would you have a moment to spare?"
Lu Xuanji nodded: "Please make yourself at home."
Upon hearing this, Feng Xiunian's one eye immediately shone brightly as he looked at Xia Tounan and said, "Young Master Xia, please."
Xia Tounan noticed Feng Xiunian's ferocious gaze and asked in a trembling voice, "What...do you want with me?"
