Chapter 165: The Jianghu in the Wine and Sword Village (8)
"Isn't his temperament the kind that stands out from the crowd? You can tell at a glance that he's different from others?" Tang Cuo asked in a hurried tone.
"Uh... do you think I have an extraordinary temperament?"
"You? Of course. Let me tell you, when you were standing next to that group of people just now, you felt like a crane standing out among a flock of chickens." Tang Cuo pursed his lips, "You are not even on the same level, okay?"
"Really?" Jiang Sichen showed joy on his face, "Then I guess that Jie Youlin's leader should also be a person with a rather unworldly temperament."
"Then it should be him..." Tang Cuo narrowed his eyes and spoke to himself.
"What is he?"
"Oh, nothing, Brother Jiang, what is my chance of success if I want to meet the Lord?"
"Normally, the success rate is zero."
"Ah? That's not the end? I won't really have to spend my old age in this plane, will I?" Hearing his words, Tang Cuo sighed to the sky, then leaned decadently against the pillar beside him.
“But other possibilities cannot be ruled out.”
"Other possibilities?" Hearing his words, Tangcuo immediately cheered up.
"Since it has been confirmed that it was Jie Youlin's people who massacred the Baihuan Sect, it means that it was their leader who gave the order. Maybe their leader has already come out." Jiang Sichen comforted.
"That being said, I haven't seen it either, so how would I know which one it is?" Tang Cuo sighed.
"Don't worry. Since they have already attacked once, they will attack again. Besides, those decent people will not let them go, so we will meet them sooner or later."
"That's true, Brother Jiang. Can I trouble you with something?" Tang Cuo asked a little embarrassedly.
"what's up?"
"Actually... you can see that my martial arts skills are a bit poor, but I see that you have superb martial arts skills. I just want to ask if there is any quick way to learn it." Tang Cuo pursed his lips.
"How strong a martial art do you want to learn?"
"Uh... maybe it can... kill that Lord?" Tang Cuo observed his expression. "It doesn't matter if I can't kill him, as long as I can protect myself."
"Okay, but I don't know how good that master's martial arts are, so I can only teach you what I know." Jiang Sichen looked up at him, with a hint of tenderness in his eyes.
"Really? Master..."
"No need, you don't have to call me Master, just treat me as usual." Jiang Sichen raised his hand to stop him from bowing.
"In that case, let's start practicing from today. I see Young Master Tang always carries a sword on his back, so let's practice swordsmanship. We can set aside an hour every day. With Young Master Tang's muscles and bones, he must be a martial arts prodigy."
"Ah? Is this true?" Tang Cuo grinned: I knew that the system would not give me no benefits.
"I see that Brother Jiang doesn't have a sword on him. How can you teach me swordsmanship?" Tang Cuo looked at him, somewhat puzzled.
Listening to his words, Jiang Sichen casually walked to the side and picked up a broken branch from the ground, "This one will do."
He is indeed a master, this is simply a dimensionality reduction attack.
Before Tang Cuo could react, Jiang Sichen put one hand behind his back, grasped a branch with the other hand, and waved towards the camphor tree in the distance.
Immediately afterwards, a rustling sound was heard, and in just a moment, all the branches at the top of the camphor tree were broken, and the leaves fell in front of Tang Cuo, making him open his eyes wide in surprise.
"Oh my god...are we going to learn this today?" His expression became visibly excited.
"We won't learn this today. It's too difficult for beginners. Let's learn the simple ones first." Jiang Sichen curled the corners of his lips and then walked closer to him.
"Young Master Tang, first you need to draw your sword. I need to see if your foundation is solid."
"Foundation?" Uh...can I say I have no foundation?
Tangcuo raised his hand and drew out the sword from his waist, then grasped the hilt with both hands, "Okay."
"Young Master Tang, no one who wields a sword holds the hilt with both hands." Jiang Sichen chuckled.
Hearing his reminder, Tang Cuo silently withdrew one hand, "I know... I just haven't used it for a long time, so I'm a little rusty. I can use the sword."
"In that case, I will teach you a simple move today, Young Master Tang." As soon as he finished speaking, Jiang Sichen picked up a branch and did a simple horizontal sweep and vertical stab.
"That's it?" Tangcuo raised the last line of his voice.
"Young Master Tang, don't underestimate these two moves. The horizontal sweep can train your body's balance, and the straight thrust can enhance your sword grip. They are very important basic sword moves."
"I know. I will practice well." Tang Cuo sighed resignedly, "How many times?"
"Let's practice 500 times each first. I may have to go out for a while because of something. Young Master Tang, you can practice in this yard by yourself. I will be back later."
"Okay." As soon as he finished speaking, Tang Cuo turned to the side and started practicing seriously.
After a while, Jiang Sichen left the side courtyard.
In the main hall...
The woman angrily swept all the tea sets on the coffee table to the ground. "How dare he talk to me like that? Who does he think he is? I'm going to tell my father when I get home..."
"Okay, my little ancestor, please calm down. Now that a murder has happened, don't make things more complicated." Old Xu sighed.
"You just watched me being bullied by him and didn't do anything?" Wu Zheng snorted coldly, "Don't forget that my father asked you to protect me."
"The young man just now was very skilled, and he must be from a powerful sect. Don't cause trouble for your father." Old Xu was a little helpless. "I have sent a pigeon to your father. When your people arrive, you can go back with them."
"Tsk, let's go back. I don't want to stay in this kind of damn place." Wu Zheng stomped her feet, turned around and ran out the door.
"An Zuo, follow Miss Wu and make sure nothing happens to her. If there's any danger, signal immediately."
"Yes, Mr. Xu."
"An You, go to the side yard and keep an eye on those two young men. Come back and report if there's anything unusual."
"Yes, Mr. Xu."
After receiving the order, the two men quickly left the main hall, leaving behind a group of ignorant teenagers looking at each other in bewilderment.
At the same time, all the sects in the martial arts world also learned that Lord Youlin had returned to the martial arts world, and the entire martial arts world was suddenly in a state of unrest.
Inside Zuixianju.
Jiang Sichen leaned casually on a wooden chair on the second floor. "Let's make this matter bigger. Also, if I remember correctly, the one who had an argument with me today should be the daughter of the leader of the Sunset Sect, right?"
"Young master is right. She is indeed the daughter of the leader of the Sunset Sect." Ling Ji replied timidly.
"In recent years, the Sunset Sect has done a lot of bad things, oppressing the people and robbing their property. If this is the case, there is no need for them to exist. Let's destroy them." Jiang Sichen said in a cold tone.
"Yes, I will give my orders now."
