Jiang Wuqi was startled by He Yunxiao's words.
From his travel documents to his clothing, he had tried so hard to conceal his identity as a member of the Yan Kingdom, yet this person saw through him at a glance?
Jiang Wuqi's shock was not without reason. The people of Qi and Yan were basically no different from each other, except for a slight difference in accents; they were indistinguishable in appearance.
Seeing the boy's exaggerated reaction, He Yunxiao was certain that he was from the Yan Kingdom.
Ordinary people, when slandered, either laugh it off or jump up and refute it. This kid looked utterly astonished, practically screaming "You're right!"
Jiang Wuqi was, after all, a young man who had never traveled far from home, and he was no match for an old hand like He Yunxiao. Furthermore, since he had gone out on his own without his father by his side, he appeared even more helpless.
"Why do you say that about me? I am not a Yan citizen. I am a merchant from Hexi County who came to Yinjing City to do business." Jiang Wuqi began to refute according to the words on the official document.
He Yunxiao: Oh right, you're a netizen from northern China.
He Yunxiao wasn't stupid; after the initial probing, he didn't immediately expose Jiang Wuqi's identity.
"Oh, you're from Hexi County, aren't you?"
"Yes!" Jiang Wuqi nodded emphatically.
"Okay, do you know Jiang Wuyou?"
Jiang Wuqi thought for a moment, "It seems to be my cousin."
He Yunxiao's lips twitched.
The surname Jiang is one of the three surnames of the royal family of Northern Yan...
This young man is dressed in fine clothes. Coming to Yinjing from Yan at this time, he's probably some kind of royal relative, here to cause trouble under the guise of the Yan Emperor…
Sister Jiang is his cousin...
With the Li family in power, the Jiang and Ren families must offer an empress...
Just two days ago, Sister Jiang said that the Emperor of Yan was urging her to go back... www.cascoo.net
Damn!
Everything matches perfectly!
"Jiang Wuqi, has the Emperor of Yan taken a wife?" He Yunxiao asked directly.
Jiang Wuqi: "No."
Then he immediately changed his tune: "This, I guessed. After all, I, Jiang Wuqi, am just a merchant who came from Hexi County to Yinjing City to do business."
He Yunxiao thought to himself: This kid is too stupid to get anything out of me. I need to hurry up and tell Mengbao about his trip to Yinjing.
He Yunxiao, holding Chu Chu's hand, waved to Jiang Wuqi, "It's nothing, let's go."
"Hey! Wait a minute!"
Seeing that He Yunxiao was about to leave, Jiang Wuqi quickly blocked his way.
"Fight me before you leave!"
He Yunxiao couldn't help but say, "Are you sick? Why are you fighting for no reason?"
Seeing He Yunxiao's hesitation, Jiang Wuqi regained the confidence he had lost when he almost exposed his identity.
"Are you scared?" Jiang Wuqi asked confidently.
He Yunxiao tugged at Chu Chu's small hand, causing Chu Chu to frown and look at him.
He Yunxiao gave Jiang Wuqi a helpless smile. "Chu Chu and I are the best in the world. Why would I be afraid of you? I just don't want to hit my brother-in-law."
"Ahem, since you want to compete, then let's have a competition."
Jiang Wuqi's eyes lit up. "How do we compete?"
"Let's compete in lightness skill first. If you win, then we'll talk about other things," He Yunxiao said.
"No problem! You can't go back on your word."
“Okay,” He Yunxiao replied shamelessly.
He pointed to the street and said, "Starting from here, keep going straight ahead. Whoever touches the city wall of Yinjing first wins. How about it?"
"Alright!" Jiang Wuqi was full of fighting spirit.
"Yes, I'm ready."
Jiang Wuqi shouted, "Ready!"
Chu Chu tugged at He Yunxiao's hand, "Should we stop the power transfer for a bit?"
He Yunxiao looked at her and smiled, "No need." Then, fearing that Chu Chu would help him, He Yunxiao urgently reminded her, "Don't move for a moment, watch me do it."
"Um."
Jiang Wuqi: "Is it done?"
He Yunxiao laughed and said, "Alright, alright, I'll count to three and we'll all set off together! One! Two! Three! Let's go!"
Boom! Jiang Wuqi was sent flying.
He Yunxiao stood there, laughing until his stomach hurt as he watched Jiang Wuqi dash away like the wind.
My brother-in-law is still too young.
Chu Chu said with dissatisfaction, "He Yunxiao, you're about to lose, and you're still laughing. Do you want me to help you?"
He Yunxiao wiped away his tears, "No need, I was just teasing him."
"But you're going to lose."
"What does winning or losing matter?" He Yunxiao shrugged. "I just want to get what I want, right? Right now, I just want to go shopping quietly with my Chuchu and let that kid play by himself."
Chu Chu pondered He Yunxiao's words in a daze, and found that what he said seemed to make a lot of sense. If he won the martial arts competition, he wouldn't be able to go shopping properly, but if he deliberately lost the competition, he could continue shopping. It seemed like he lost, but he actually won.
"neat?"
"Um."
He Yunxiao, holding Chu Chu's hand, said, "Shall we continue?"
"Um."
He Yunxiao had underestimated Jiang Wuqi's perseverance. Half an hour later, the kid reappeared in front of him.
This time, Jiang Wuqi was smarter and didn't waste any time; he took action directly!
"You dare to play me!"
A fist the size of a sandbag came crashing down on He Yunxiao with a whooshing sound.
As a ninth-rank martial artist of the same level as Jiang Wuqi, how could He Yunxiao allow him to successfully launch a sneak attack?
He immediately used the "Nine Turns Dragon Hand" technique that Chu Chu had just taught him!
This is a practical martial art, consisting of six smaller moves: "Bump," "Lean," "Stick," "Grab," "Take," and "Fold." These smaller moves can be continuously broken down and combined into nine sets of combos to deal with various situations. It is a superior martial art that can kill you with a single combo once it touches you.
Since he was his brother-in-law, He Yunxiao couldn't go all out, so he held back a third of his strength.
After mentally rehearsing the situation, He Yunxiao decided to use a three-move combo of "bump," "grab," and "lean," which consisted of only half the moves of a normal combo and was much weaker.
