Chapter 13: A River of Troubled Waters Flows East

After Shiqianshan said these words, he only focused on striking a pose, looking as graceful and aloof as a jade tree, trying to attract Wu Qianqian's attention. However, he didn't notice that Wu Qianqian glared at him fiercely: Is this guy crazy? Just when it seemed this matter could be temporarily set aside, he said such a decisive thing!

Li Jianyin... Is he someone to be trifled with? Not to mention, Li Jianyin has a father. His father is my second master uncle... the second most important person in Tianwailou after the patriarch and the council of elders!

Your master, Master Meng, is only the tenth...

Upon hearing Shiqianshan's words, Li Jianyin's bloodstained and torn face showed a sinister smile: "Shiqianshan, did you say that?"

"Rubbish!" Shiqianshan said with a sense of righteousness: "Chu Yang is my junior brother! No matter who you are, if you want to cause trouble for my junior brother, you have to get past me, Shiqianshan, first!"

Chu Yang thought to himself: Well said! Shiqianshan, you are truly talented! But he said with emotion: "Senior Brother, I've caused you trouble..." This was to cut off any further discussion and avoid future problems. Yes.

Shiqianshan waved his hand gracefully and said proudly: "Junior Brother Chu, what are you talking about? Between us brothers, how can there be any talk of trouble?" He even put on a displeased look, as if Chu Yang not letting him handle the trouble was a sign of disrespect...

Tantán, who was standing nearby, naturally didn't know what Chu Yang was up to, and was moved almost to tears, sniffling: "Senior Brother... sniff... you're so good..."

"Tantán, you're the same. You're also my junior brother! If anything happens to you, I will naturally step forward without hesitation!" Shiqianshan said with deep emotion: "As your senior brother, I must protect you from the wind and rain. Otherwise, would our years of brotherhood be for nothing?"

Righteous! Emotionally deep! Responsible!

What woman in the world wouldn't like such a man?

You, Wu Qianqian... How could you be an exception?

Shiqianshan's face was serious and upright, but he secretly glanced at Wu Qianqian, feeling very pleased with himself.

Just then, Chu Yang, who was always stirring up trouble, shouted: "That's right, with our Senior Brother here, you want to bully me? Our Senior Brother is the top young expert in Tianwailou!"

"Junior Brother Chu, be quiet!" Shiqianshan frowned and quickly stopped him, then said humbly: "Junior Brother Chu, it's fine for you to blindly admire me, but you can't say such things recklessly... Remember, trouble comes from the mouth. Top young expert, hehe, how could I dare to accept such a title? This Wu Junior Sister in front of us is much stronger than me..."

Shiqianshan's earnest advice, though humble in words, made him feel light as a feather, even his bones felt lighter.

It's worth it for me to always treat you with care; at critical moments, you really make me look good. The words 'top young expert' are naturally a sign of Junior Brother Chu's blind admiration, but this proves my prestige!

Moreover, I smoothly flattered Junior Sister Wu, showcasing my charm and winning her favor...

Shiqianshan could almost imagine Wu Qianqian falling for him...

Shiqianshan was only focused on his own happiness, but he didn't notice that Wu Qianqian, with her head down, was quickly bandaging Li Jianyin's wounds, her expression becoming increasingly grim: This matter has become completely out of hand! I must quickly report to Father and let him find a solution.

Sigh, it's all because of this Shiqianshan. You don't know what's going on, and you're playing the hero? Now, Li Jianyin will surely exaggerate the incident when he returns, turning it into a major conflict between Zizhuyuan and Suoyunfeng...

Especially with Master Li being extremely protective, how can he let his son be beaten like this and just let it go? Sigh...

Originally, it was just about Chu Yang. After reporting the incident, with Master Meng and others present, a small punishment for Chu Yang would suffice to save face for Master Li, and the matter would be over.

But with Shiqianshan's involvement, it turned into a storm of wind, rain, and lightning, and in just a few words, the matter became irreconcilable. Moreover, the most absurd thing is... the original culprit, Chu Yang, is now off the hook, and everything has been taken on by Shiqianshan's heroic shoulders...

I bet Li Jianyin hates Shiqianshan more than he hates Chu Yang now...

What do you think you are... You have nothing to do with this, why are you stirring things up!

"Hisss... hehehe... hiss..." Li Jianyin, while sucking in cold air from the pain, sneered: "Shiqianshan, remember what you said today!"

"Senior Sister, let's go." Li Jianyin was also tough, and he actually hopped up on one leg. He glared at Shiqianshan with hatred and left, supporting himself.

He didn't even look at Chu Yang!

After all, it was his fault first, and Chu Yang didn't do anything wrong... Moreover, he accidentally stepped into a pit and twisted his foot, injuring himself, which had nothing to do with anyone else...

Besides, this matter isn't very honorable, so he would deal with Chu Yang secretly later. But this Shiqianshan... Hmph, if I can't get rid of him, I won't be a Li...

The changes in this matter left even Wu Qianqian feeling dazed.

The person involved is fine, but the innocent one has become the biggest responsible party. And this trouble is not small...

"Please tell Master Meng that my father invites him to Juyunfeng." Wu Qianqian thought for a moment, feeling that she couldn't handle this matter directly, so she bid farewell.

"Junior Sister Wu, you're too polite. Master is in seclusion, and I will report to him as soon as he comes out." Shiqianshan bowed gracefully: "Junior Sister, it's a difficult task for you to support this junior brother back. Tantán, you go and carry this junior brother, and make sure to safely return him to Suoyunfeng!"

Tantán agreed and left. Wu Qianqian also said goodbye to Shiqianshan and Chu Yang, thanked Shiqianshan, and turned to leave. She felt a bit uncomfortable, almost as if she were paying respects... It seemed that talking to Shiqianshan was like talking to a dead person...

Shiqianshan watched the three figures disappear at the intersection, and couldn't help but smile with satisfaction. Today, he definitely left an indelible impression on Wu Qianqian!

Chu Yang's expression was normal, but there was a hint of mockery in his eyes.

An impression was definitely left, but it was a different kind of impression...

"Today's matter, I owe a lot to Senior Brother." Chu Yang said with great sincerity: "Otherwise, I would have been in big trouble."

"No problem." Shiqianshan said with a righteous air: "Junior Brother Chu, what's this person's name? Do you know?"

Chu Yang replied: "I don't know." Now you're asking for his name? I know he's Li Jianyin, the only son of Second Master Uncle Li Jinsong, and one of the top figures in Tianwailou, but I won't tell you!

"Hmm, it's fine not to know." Shiqianshan snorted disdainfully, standing firm like a rock: "This guy is weak and not a big deal. There's no need to worry about him. Even if he wants revenge, he won't be able to rally anyone. The other senior brothers won't offend me, Shiqianshan, for such a useless person. Junior Brother Chu, you can rest assured."

Chu Yang nodded and thanked him repeatedly.

It wasn't until the afternoon that Tantán, who had gone to deliver the person, returned, looking disheveled and nervous.

When Tantán returned, Shiqianshan was humming a tune, fantasizing about his bright future, and practicing swordsmanship in the courtyard. He was dancing with the sword, full of spirit and vigor.

Chu Yang, on the other hand, was sitting cross-legged in his room, making the most of every moment to improve his skills. Strength is the key to having a say! Chu Yang would not give up any opportunity to practice, no matter how small.

Tantán rushed back, sweating profusely, and said a few words to Shiqianshan outside. Chu Yang heard a "clank" from outside, and Shiqianshan's sword, which was dancing like falling petals, fell to the ground.

Immediately, there was a "thud" as Shiqianshan fell on his butt, his face pale and expressionless.
