Chapter 15

"Let go of me, Lu Lang!!!"

Seeing her beloved restrained, Li Mochou became extremely anxious. In just a few moves, she forced Yin Zhiping back and rushed forward to rescue him.

Su Yi lightly brushed his long sword, and a thin line of blood immediately appeared on Lu Zhan yuan's neck. Li Mochou, who had been charging forward, hastily stopped and shouted angrily, "You despicable little man, how dare you do such a low-down thing? Do you still want the face of the Quanzhen Sect?"

Yin Zhiping also showed an unhappy expression and scolded, "Younger Brother Yang, quickly release this brother. We should fight a fair and open battle. Such despicable means really tarnish the face of our Quanzhen Sect."

"There's no need for a battle. You are inherently male, and she is inherently female..." Su Yi glanced at Yin Zhiping with a sense of helplessness, then smiled and said to Li Mochou, "I have no ill intentions towards the young lady. Today's situation has escalated purely because of your unreasonable behavior. However, of course, the Quanzhen Sect is a prestigious and upright sect and would never resort to hostage-taking. I only placed my sword here to ask a clear question."

Li Mochou immediately shouted, "Not just one, as long as you release my Lu Lang, I will tell you ten, a hundred things."

No wonder you would betray your master in the future. You don't even ask what I intend to ask? Truly a woman obsessed with love...

Su Yi asked, "Are you a senior disciple of the Ancient Tomb Sect?"

Li Mochou nodded without hesitation.

"That's perfect..." Su Yi turned to Lu Zhan yuan and asked, "May I ask where this brother learned the One Finger Zen technique? I am really very curious!"

"I..." Lu Zhan yuan stammered, "It's a family legacy!"

"Oh..." Su Yi smiled and nodded, then asked, "The One Finger Zen technique is the exclusive skill of the Southern Emperor, Duan Huangye. However, you seem to be surnamed Lu. According to my knowledge, there is no one surnamed Lu among Duan Huangye's relatives."

"That's because I am not related to Duan Huangye. It's just that my elders served under Duan Huangye and were favored by him, who then taught me the One Finger Zen technique."

"You're lying!"

Su Yi shouted loudly, speaking rapidly, "Duan Huangye's One Finger Zen technique was only learned by four of his subordinates, the Fisherman, the Woodcutter, the Farmer, and the Scholar. These four have always been by Duan Huangye's side, have no descendants, and none of them are surnamed Lu!!!"

Lu Zhan yuan angrily said, "What does it matter to Daoist Master where I learned it? Why do you need to know so clearly?"

"It's very simple. The Ancient Tomb Sect and our Quanzhen Sect have a deep connection. I cannot bear to see such a beautiful and virtuous lady like Senior Sister be defiled by a villain like you, so of course, I must meddle in this matter!"

Su Yi said, "Your One Finger Zen technique is only at the initial stage, so it's impossible that you learned it directly from Duan Huangye, as he became a monk several years ago and even gave up his throne. How could you have met him? It's also impossible that you learned it from the Fisherman, the Woodcutter, the Farmer, and the Scholar, as they have always been by Duan Huangye's side. Therefore, I conclude that you could only have learned it from one person..."

"Who... who?" Lu Zhan yuan's forehead was drenched in sweat. The fact that Duan Huangye became a monk was a closely guarded secret, and even he only learned it through a close relative of Duan Huangye. How could this Taoist, who was far away, know so clearly?

Su Yi said word by word, "He! Ruan! Jun!"

"Ah!" Lu Zhan yuan screamed, his face full of panic, and he couldn't help but sit down on the ground.

Li Mochou, worried that Su Yi would harm Lu Zhan yuan, had not dared to move. Now, seeing that something was wrong with Lu Zhan yuan, she asked, "Lu Lang, who is He Ruanjun?"

"Just a common friend..." Lu Zhan yuan replied with a forced laugh.

"Yes, just a common friend..." Su Yi said, counting on his fingers, "He Ruanjun, female, just turned sixteen, beautiful as a flower. Speaking of her background, it's not simple. Her godfather, Wu Santong, is the First Light Master, one of the four closest retainers of Duan Huangye. Therefore, this young lady can be said to have a deep family background. Skills like the One Finger Zen technique, which we can only dream of, she can give to her lover!"

Lu Zhan yuan shouted, "You're talking nonsense. Ruanjun and I are just friends."

"Ruanjun? Friends?" Yin Zhiping caught the drift and said with disdain, "It's one thing to call someone by their name, but for them to give you such a supreme martial skill, you say you're just friends? Who would believe that?"

"What do you mean 'one thing'?" Su Yi said in a strange voice, "Is calling someone by their name a common thing? Zhi~ Ping~~~ Do you think so?"

Hearing Su Yi call him in such a strange tone, Yin Zhiping couldn't help but shiver, feeling goosebumps all over his body. He quickly said, "No, ordinary people can't call each other by their names. There must be something improper... Yes, that's what I think."

At this moment, Li Mochou was not paying attention to Su Yi and Yin Zhiping's antics. She had lost her previous spirited and domineering demeanor, her eyes filled with tears, and she asked in a bitter tone, "Lu Lang? Is what they said true?"

"No, they are deceiving you..."

"Then look at me!"

Lu Zhan yuan turned to look at Li Mochou, then instinctively turned away quickly.

"You're lying to me!" Li Mochou screamed, "How could you be unclear with other women behind my back?"

"I... I..." Lu Zhan yuan stammered, unable to speak.

Li Mochou asked, "Wasn't I good to you?"

Lu Zhan yuan lowered his head in shame, "You were very good to me."

"Then tell me why you betrayed me?"

...

"Speak up?!"

"Then why didn't you teach me martial arts?" Lu Zhan yuan shouted, as if giving up, "I wanted to learn martial arts, but my father could only hire third-rate instructors. What kind of powerful skills could I learn?"

"After that, I grew up, handsome and charming..."

Su Yi sneered on the side, thinking this man was shameless.

Lu Zhan yuan looked at Li Mochou and smiled bitterly, "Those women were all infatuated with me. Even if I wanted their bodies, they would give them to me without hesitation. So I had an idea. From then on, I often deliberately approached the daughters of great heroes and female martial artists. After winning their hearts, I would trick them into teaching me their unique skills. My martial arts improved greatly."

Seeing Li Mochou's disbelieving eyes, Lu Zhan yuan laughed, "Isn't this fair? You were infatuated with my face... I was interested in your martial arts. As long as you were willing to teach me the supreme martial arts, I would always be good to you... But why didn't you teach me?"

Suddenly seeing her beloved's despicable side, Li Mochou was stunned. Hearing Lu Zhan yuan's question, she answered dazedly, "The martial arts of the Ancient Tomb Sect were created by women and are not suitable for men to practice. Teaching them to you would harm you... How could I teach you recklessly?"

"All excuses!" Lu Zhan yuan shouted, then fell to the ground and cried uncontrollably, saying, "I'm not like you, all disciples of famous sects. I wanted to practice martial arts, but I could only rely on myself. Ruanjun is so good... We just met, and she gave herself to me. I said I wanted to practice martial arts, and she immediately taught me the One Finger Zen technique. I like her, and I want to marry her. Let me tell you the truth, I came here to see if I could trick a few supreme skills from you, but whether I succeed or not, I will marry Ruanjun. A woman as petty as you, don't expect anyone to like you!"

"Shut up!" Li Mochou couldn't help but shout, kicking Lu Zhan yuan in the face.

"Ah...!" Lu Zhan yuan screamed, his handsome face swelling like a pig's head, and he rolled on the ground in pain.

Li Mochou looked at Lu Zhan yuan with tears in her eyes for a long time, then gritted her teeth and said, "Lu Zhan yuan, don't let me see you again, or I will definitely use the Ice Soul Silver Needle to embroider a large peony on your body!"

With that, she stomped her foot in anger and quickly disappeared.

"Stop staring! Get lost!" Yin Zhiping also couldn't help but kick Lu Zhan yuan.

Lu Zhan yuan stood up, glared at Su Yi and Yin Zhiping, and quickly left in another direction.

Yin Zhiping sighed, "Sigh, this guy looks like a decent person, but he is so despicable. Thanks to you, Younger Brother, for exposing his true nature. You are indeed righteous and fair, and you can still think of that Senior Sister despite her rudeness."

"I didn't think of her..." Su Yi sneered, "Back in the day, the founder of the Ancient Tomb Sect, Lin Chaoying, was infatuated with our founder for her entire life. This Li Mochou is so unreasonable, not learning from the tradition of her sect, treating hundreds of young men from our Quanzhen Sect as nothing, and dating an outsider... Most importantly, she completely ignores my existence, which is really annoying... So, even if they were really in love, I had to break them up. Otherwise, I wouldn't be at peace!"

Yin Zhiping was speechless.
