Xiao Xiao: Chu Chu! Brother's here! It's my turn!
Chu Chu: He Yunxiao is still here.
Xiaoxiao: You'll give yourself away!
Chu Chu: It's alright.
Xiao Xiao: What do you mean it's okay! If my brother finds out you exist, I'm doomed!
Chu Chu: He Yunxiao knows you, but he still... obeys my every word.
Xiaoxiao: That's different!
Chu Chu: Are you going to keep this from Chu Fan forever?
Xiaoxiao: Of course! Brother only likes Xiaoxiao! Chuchu, have you forgotten? How good Brother was to Xiaoxiao when we were little. He always let Xiaoxiao eat first when there was something delicious...
Chu Chu didn't want to say anything more to this stubborn sister. If she wanted to be Chu Xiaoxiao, then let her be. Chu Chu would always just be Chu Chu.
Chu Chu was forcibly woken up by Xiao Xiao in the evening; she hadn't actually rested well. Coupled with the chaotic atmosphere of Zuixianju with so many people, Chu Chu really disliked it.
Chu Chu: I need to sleep for a while. Call me when you're done playing.
Xiaoxiao: Okay!
Chu Chu has logged off.
...
Chu Fan approached He Yunxiao and said to his sister, "You can't touch each other before the wedding, understand?"
Xiao Xiao nodded repeatedly.
He immediately shook his head, "What marriage? Brother, I don't plan to get married!"
He Yunxiao recognized Xiaoxiao at a glance.
Waaaaah, my Chuchu is gone.
When Chu Fan heard his sister say she didn't want to get married, he shook his head and said, "No way, what young lady doesn't want to get married?"
Xiao Xiao said, "I won't marry him!"
Chu Fan, with an air of righteousness, said, "Men should marry when they come of age, and women should marry when they come of age; this is the principle of all things and the reason why humankind continues to thrive."
Xiao Xiao said defiantly, "I don't care."
When the male and female leads were talking, He Yunxiao didn't dare to interrupt and could only stand aside with an awkward smile.
...
Over there, Liu Song, the head of the Liu family, finally understood the current situation.
In short, He Yunxiao came to the meeting and injured Liu Neng, but because of his identity, he couldn't participate. Now, several gangs are taking advantage of his misfortune, trying to use He Yunxiao's identity to ruin the sword-testing tournament.
The key to breaking the deadlock lies in He Yunxiao's identity.
If He Yunxiao is a lackey of the imperial court, then all is lost. If He Yunxiao is a member of the martial arts world, then his participation in the sword-testing tournament is perfectly reasonable.
But how can we prove that He Yunxiao is a member of the martial arts world and has nothing to do with the imperial court?
Liu Song was at a loss, and Liu Feiyun panicked as well.
Liu Feiyun's martial arts are very weak, and he is currently surrounded by a group of ninth-rank martial artists watching him, which puts him under immense pressure.
"Brother He, what should we do?"
He Yunxiao said in a low voice, "With so many people watching, there's no way I can run away. I can only try to make myself appear not as someone from the imperial court, but as someone from the martial arts world. That way, my presence here will be perfectly reasonable, and it won't be wrong for your Liu family to let me attend the meeting."
Liu Feiyun asked anxiously, "But what should we do?"
He Yunxiao had a vague idea in mind, and said calmly, "I have a way, let's see if you cooperate."
Liu Feiyun quickly said, "Brother He, I will definitely cooperate with you."
He Yunxiao didn't mince words, "I'm short of money."
Standing beside He Yunxiao, Liu Feiyun glanced at Liu Song, the patriarch of the Liu family. The elderly but composed patriarch calmed Liu Feiyun. As a core member of the Liu family, Liu Feiyun knew far more than others. The reason the Liu family was so vigorously organizing the sword-testing tournament was to create momentum for his brother, Liu Fei, to become the leader of the martial arts alliance.
Outsiders may not know, but Liu Feiyun does. Her brother, Liu Feizhan, has already reached the Grandmaster realm and is the number one martial arts master in the capital city. Such a young age combined with such potential is rare even in the entire martial arts world.
He is fully capable of vying for the position of leader of the martial arts world.
Becoming the leader of the martial arts world is a big deal; money is a small matter.
Having distinguished between primary and secondary matters, Liu Feiyun asked He Yunxiao, "How much do you want?"
He Yunxiao said, "I don't want money, I just want your Liu family's assets to be paid for with gold and silver vouchers."
Liu Feiyun readily agreed, pointing to Liu Song and saying, "Okay, Grandpa is right here. I'll ask him for permission in a bit. I'll definitely get it done for you."
With the big deal secured, He Yunxiao stretched his limbs. "The deposit has been paid; let's get to work." He then walked up to Liu Song and said, "You must be the head of the Liu family?"
Liu Song replied, "That is indeed me." Then, feigning ignorance, he asked, "May I ask how you are addressed, young friend?"
Liu Dadao, engrossed in watching the spectacle, said, "He is He Yunxiao, the most notorious playboy in our capital city of Yin."
Wu Yongliang from Wushan continued, "My father is a high-ranking official in the imperial court. He belongs to the court."
Rumatsu narrowed his eyes. "Is that so?"
He Yunxiao laughed and said, "What the two seniors said is pretty much right. But there's one thing wrong. I, He Yunxiao, am not a member of the imperial court at all. I am a person of the martial arts world."
Liu Song's eyes lit up. He glanced at Liu Feiyun behind He Yunxiao, then back at He Yunxiao. He thought to himself: This person is no ordinary person; he found a way to break the deadlock so quickly.
When He Yunxiao said he was a member of the martial arts world, some people couldn't help but secretly laugh. If He Yunxiao isn't a member of the imperial court, then who is?
He Yunxiao was not embarrassed at all, and even ignored the people who were mocking him. Instead, he continued, "I, He Yunxiao, do not hold any official position, nor do I receive a salary from the court. I was just born into a marquis's family, so I cannot be considered a member of the court. Moreover, I came to the Sword Testing Tournament to seek cooperation with the head of the Liu family."
cooperate?
The crowd was puzzled. What kind of cooperation could a son of a high-ranking official have with a local gangster?
He Yunxiao continued, "I have established a small gang and am currently serving as its temporary leader. I plan to take advantage of the Sword Testing Tournament to promote the gang and let all the heroes of the martial arts world know about its existence, which will also facilitate the gang's growth and expansion."
Liu Dadao didn't quite understand.
Why would you, a perfectly good young master, give up your life to start a gang and become a damn gang leader?
