Mu Nianci's Inferiority
When Huang Rong and Ah Qing entered the room with the food boxes, they saw Mu Nianci holding two blades of a sword and hacking around Lian Chengbi.
"Why do I feel that Sister Mu's speed is much faster?”Huang Rong muttered softly.
Ah Qing nodded and said,"It's indeed a little fast."”
Lian Chengbi reached out and snatched the two blades from Mu Nianci.
"Alright, that's all for now. Let's eat.”Liancheng Bi said.
Mu Nianci panted heavily. Her forehead was covered in sweat, and her pretty face was red from overexertion.
"Sister Mu, are you alright?" Huang Rong handed Mu Nianci a white scarf.
Mu Nianci took it and wiped the sweat off her forehead. She said softly,"It's fine. Uncle Huang is just accompanying me to practice. He hasn't really fought.”
She already knew that Lian Chengbi's 'Father Huang Rong' was a fake name, but since Lian Chengbi did not take the initiative to reveal his real name to her, she could only address him as 'Uncle Huang'.
Huang Rong led Mu Nianci to the dining table and whispered,"I feel that you've become much more powerful.”
"Is that so?" Mu Nianci was surprised.
For the entire morning, she didn't chop Lian Chengbi at all, so she didn't feel that she had changed much.
On the contrary, he deeply understood the gap between him and Lian Chengbi.
"It's still far from enough," said Lian Chengbi.”
"Oh." Mu Nianci lowered her head.
"I've clearly become much stronger." Huang Rong said.
"That's because she was too weak before."”
Mu Nianci lowered her head even more.
"Not that weak."
Huang Rong mumbled. She looked at Ah Qing and asked," Sister Ah Qing, do you think Sister Mu is weak?”
Mu Nianci stole a glance at Ah Qing.
As Ah Qing ate, she casually said,""Young Master's judgment has always been very accurate and has never made a mistake.”
Mu Nianci's head was about to sink into her chest.
Huang Rong was speechless.
She thought to herself,'Why did I ask her when I knew that Ah Qing was' outspoken?'!
"Let's eat." Lian Chengbi said.
It had to be said that Huang Rong's culinary skills were indeed superb.
As the manor lord of Wugou Manor, Lian Chengbi was used to living in luxury since he was young. There were very few delicacies that could stimulate his appetite.
But now, his appetite was extremely good.
The four of them ate together. Ah Qing, Lian Chengbi, and Mu Nianci would praise the food from time to time, which made Huang Rong smile and feel extremely satisfied.
After dinner, Huang Rong and Ah Qing cleaned up the dishes and left.
"True saber techniques are all practiced in actual combat.”
Lian Chengbi said," In the morning, you attacked me. In the afternoon, I'll attack you. You might get injured or even die. Be mentally prepared.”
"Alright."
Mu Nianci's heart trembled.
Recalling the scene of Lian Cheng Bi slaughtering Wanyan Kang's group last night, she didn't think that Lian Cheng Bi was just scaring her.
Indeed, Lian Chengbi didn't scare Mu Nianci.
Only when one was on the verge of death could one truly unleash their potential and rapidly become stronger.
If Mu Nianci was half-hearted and didn't put in enough effort, she would definitely be severely injured even if she didn't die.
Lian Chengbi had always been extremely serious about cultivation.
Whoosh!
A tiny willow toothpick shot toward Mu Nianci at an extremely fast speed.
Mu Nianci's expression changed drastically. She had just raised her sword to block the attack when the toothpick was nailed to her right shoulder.
She bit her lip in pain, not letting herself scream.
"Too slow."
Lian Chengbi held a box of willow toothpicks and walked slowly around Mu Nianci. He said," Your power is not strong, but your moves and speed are the key to victory.
The willow catkin knife I taught you is the best knife technique. You don't lack moves.
However, if you only have moves and no speed, just like you did in the morning, you won't be able to cut people at all.”
As he spoke, another tiny toothpick flew toward Mu Nianci.
Mu Nianci had been paying attention to Lian Chengbi, but when the toothpick came, she was still a step too late. Another toothpick appeared on her body, and blood seeped through it, dyeing her clothes red.
"When you realize that your strength is far inferior to your opponent's, if you can't escape, then you should protect the fatal spot, such as the heart.”As he spoke, Lian Chengbi shot out a toothpick towards Mu Nianci's heart.
Mu Nianci's expression changed. She immediately placed the sword in her right hand in front of her heart.
Bang!
She blocked the first toothpick.
Whoosh!
Then, another toothpick was shot at her head.
The sword in his left hand blocked it.
"Still too slow." Lian Chengbi said calmly," If you can't do it faster, then you're really going to die here.”
“………”
…
Near evening, in a room on the second floor of the Drunken Immortal Restaurant, Qiu Chuji, the Jiangnan Seven Monsters, Guo Jing, Yin Zhiping, and the others gathered to discuss the investigation of Yang Kang's murder.
"I asked around the Drunken Immortal Restaurant. Yang Kang, Ouyang Ke, and the others were still there yesterday.”
The Genius Scholar Zhu Cong said.
" Before yesterday, Yang Kang had indeed reserved this Drunken Immortal Restaurant," Yin Zhiping said." The people from the Jin Kingdom's Zhao Mansion have always lived here."
Yesterday afternoon, the nobleman whom the waiter spoke of came in with Young Master Bi's jade token.
Other than that, no one else stayed.”
"The murderer is probably that noble," Qiu Chuji said.”
The Sixth Brother of the Jiangnan Seven Monsters said,"I found out that the noble's surname seems to be Huang, and he has a full beard. Yesterday afternoon, there was a martial arts competition in the city. That noble and Yang Kang were both present and had a conflict.”
Quan Jin had a short and thin body. He used to be a street merchant and was good at gathering information.
"It seems that the murderer is most likely that Huang.”Ke Zhenge said in a deep voice.
Qiu Chuji said,"If Yang Kang was killed because of the dispute between Song and Jin, I won't ask. But if it's because of personal grudges, I have no choice.”
Although he didn't like Wanyan Kang's character and thought that he was greedy for glory and recognized a thief as his father, he didn't have any backbone.
However, Wanyan Kang was still his first disciple. If he died because of a personal grudge, then he couldn't sit idly by.
"Yang Kang is the only descendant of the Yang Family. We can't let the Yang Family die for no reason." Ke Zhen 'e nodded.”
"Yang Kang is the Crown Prince of the Jin Kingdom.”
Han Xiaoying, the only woman among the Jiangnan Seven Monsters, said softly.
"Not bad." Qiu Chuji nodded and said in a deep voice," If that person didn't use any tricks, his strength should be extremely strong.”
"Let's test his foundation tonight." Ke Zhen said evilly.
“………”
