Chapter 6: Disciple Saves Master
"Charge! All of you, attack for me!" The bald boss stared dumbfounded, he angrily roared, waving his big knife in his hand, ordering his underlings to follow, while he himself remained standing in place, motionless. He didn't want to be slapped away! Just came out of a brothel, his body was extremely weak……
Chen Yi He was also dumbfounded, he looked at the enemies fallen on the ground, then at his own hands, excited to death! "I... I actually really know martial arts now..." Everything is so unbelievable!
However, now is not the time for him to think about that; a large group of bald men wielding big knives want to chop him, after all he's only learned the basics, how could he handle so many!
Chen Yi He's whole body was like a swallow, leaping into the air, higher than two or three people!
He was just like Xiao Xiao Yu when she appeared, "tap-tap-tap" stepping on the bald men's heads, jumping out of the crowd!
"Chase after me!" the bald boss ordered.
On the main street, Chen Yi He sprinted ahead while a group of shirtless bald heads chased behind, the scene was spectacular…… The common folk hid to the side, watching this marvel……
"Damn it! That brat still got away!"
Chen Yi He finally shook off the pursuit of the Evil People Gang's bald thugs, ducking into the Great Fortune Inn; it was already deep night.
"Got it?" Xiao Xiao Yu, sitting cross-legged on the bed, asked Chen Yi He.
"I... I got it..." Chen Yi He felt guilty.
"What's going on!?" Xiao Xiao Yu pointed at the broken tin-gold seal, shouting angrily.
"I ran into the Evil People Gang again on the road, it got broken, I risked my life to bring it back..." Chen Yi He shrugged, looking innocent……
Xiao Xiao Yu indeed heard the commotion downstairs on the street; she looked at Chen Yi He for a while, figuring this kid wouldn't dare lie to her.
"No, someone has tampered with this." Xiao Xiao Yu muttered to herself.
Chen Yi He only then remembered that two pages had their corners folded; when he took pictures he spread them out and forgot to fold them back!
Xiao Xiao Yu knew this problem definitely lay with Chen Yi He! This is unforgivable!
The white silk flew out again, wrapping around Chen Yi He's neck and lifting his whole body into midair!
Chen Yi He covered his neck, his face turning red from suffocation, unable to breathe!
"As your master, I only give you one chance!" Xiao Xiao Yu's fury was understandable; this was the most precious gift her father gave her—how dare someone tamper with it!
Chen Yi He could not resist at all; his only thought was, don't loosen the mouth, cannot loosen the mouth! Even in death he won't loosen it!
Xiao Xiao Yu's body shuddered again; she hurriedly withdrew her true qi, now at a critical juncture, she absolutely must not stir her qi! "Pfft!" A mouthful of blood spurted from her mouth, anger surging to her heart, she vomited blood from being enraged by Chen Yi He.
When Xiao Xiao Yu's true qi leaked, Chen Yi He collapsed to the ground; he hurriedly untied the white silk, then gasped heavily, looking resentfully at Xiao Xiao Yu: "This girl may truly be beautiful, but her heart is truly vicious, for real! Following her, I'll surely die sooner or later!"
"Are you going to explain yourself to this young lady? Stealing martial arts is a major taboo in the jianghu!" Xiao Xiao Yu softened, no longer calling herself "master."
"I really don't know anything; you just figure it out yourself!" Chen Yi He answered firmly, looking at the pool of blood on the ground, he actually felt a bit soft, wanting to confess.
Xiao Xiao Yu had no choice, "Fine! From today on, you're expelled from my school, you're no longer my disciple!"
"Sure, I was your disciple for two days, you owe me money!" Whether in real society or the book's world, without money you can't take a step, Chen Yi He well understood this principle……
"I even saved your life!" Xiao Xiao Yu was furious beyond bearing!
"One thing for another, otherwise I won't leave." Chen Yi He stood up, knowing Xiao Xiao Yu's injury had flared up, she wouldn't do anything to him.
"Get lost!" Chen Yi He was still sent flying out the door by Xiao Xiao Yu's palm, an oval gold ingot rolling out onto the ground……
Exactly the same scene was seen again by a passing fat shopkeeper, he shook his head, "These youngsters nowadays……"
Chen Yi He brushed off the dust, picked up the gold ingot from the ground, turned and left.
Chen Yi He had just stepped out of the Great Fortune Inn when he sensed something off; he seemed to hear faint footsteps. The footsteps grew clearer, he heard them more distinctly. After practicing ten pages of the Wither-Flourish Heart Classic, his senses had become much sharper!
"Could it be the Evil People Gang?" Chen Yi He guessed, lowering his head and quickening his pace, thinking to hurry away!
At that moment, a black-clad person brushed past Chen Yi He!
Chen Yi He was certain this person wasn't a bald thug of the Evil People Gang; his companions outside weren't either.
Chen Yi He immediately changed his mind, not leaving the inn but instead finding a table corner in the hall to sit down.
The black-clad person went mysteriously, up to the second floor, turned left, and headed straight to the innermost room.
The black-clad person stood before Xiao Xiao Yu's door, gently bending down; Chen Yi He couldn't see what he was doing.
The fat shopkeeper also seemed to notice the black-clad person's movements, ran upstairs to look for him, but was slapped down by the black-clad person with a palm, "Bang!" killed on the spot.
In an instant, everyone in the Great Fortune Inn was startled awake from sleep; the waiter and guests all came running out. Seeing this scene, they were frightened stiff……
The people guarding outside all rushed in, each dressed in black with black cloth over their faces! Holding long swords! They followed the black-clad person's gestures, running toward the second floor. Obviously they were targeting Xiao Xiao Yu!
"Bang!" The black-clad person kicked open Xiao Xiao Yu's door.
Xiao Xiao Yu now gravely injured, unable to cultivate; Chen Yi He, although not a paragon of virtue, knew the principle of repaying kindness, "Clap!" he threw the chopstick holder from the table toward the second floor! Moreover, seeing a woman suffer, as a man of honor he could not bear it!
"Swish swish swish!" The bamboo chopsticks shot out like arrows, piercing the black-clad men's chests from behind! Chen Yi He was amazed at his own strength; having learned only one-tenth of the Wither-Flourish Heart Classic, it's already this powerful—if he mastered all one hundred pages, wouldn't he be invincible under heaven!?
The black-clad men weren't that foolish bunch of bald thugs from the Evil People Gang; they split into two groups, waving long swords, one group charging at Chen Yi He, the other at Xiao Xiao Yu in the guest rooms.
Those were gleaming long swords; Chen Yi He was wary, he jumped up from the stool, used the tabletop as a spring, lightly leapt up, and grabbed the edge of the second-floor corridor's floorboards.
The black-clad men's long swords chopped like cutting vegetables! The floorboards were the chopping block, Chen Yi He the meat on it. The chopping block collapsed halfway, the meat not yet sliced! Many black-clad men also fell from upstairs.
Chen Yi He seized the moment, braced his arms, performed a backward flip, knocking over two or three black-clad men in the process, then staggered to a stand on the second-floor corridor.
Xiao Xiao Yu also fought her way to the doorway, one hand wielding the white silk, the other covering her chest, her lips still stained with blood. These black-clad men aren't scary; what's frightening is her injury!
"Are you okay?" Chen Yi He shouted, there were still many black-clad men between him and Xiao Xiao Yu, making it hard to approach for a moment.
"You can't escape! Hahaha!" The leading black-clad man, obviously strong, entangled Xiao Xiao Yu, otherwise she would have gotten away.
Xiao Xiao Yu never expected Chen Yi He to run back for her sake, but now isn't the time to be moved; she can at most hold out another twenty moves, after which even if the black-clad men aren't her match, she'll still collapse!
Outside, more black-clad men rushed in! Xiao Xiao Yu retreated back into the guest room!
Chen Yi He regretted wading into this muddy affair!
But the arrow is nocked, he has no choice but to release it!
"Damn it, I'll fight to the end!" Chen Yi He gritted his teeth, snatched two long swords from the black-clad men's hands, held them upside down like reaping rice, and swept all the way!
Pinpoints of white light flickered on the sword blades; the black-clad men fell like harvested rice, in orderly rows……
The leading black-clad man was dazed by Chen Yi He's sudden attack; Xiao Xiao Yu seized the moment, using the white silk to fan him to the ground!
Chen Yi He ran to Xiao Xiao Yu's side; her body trembled, about to collapse, but Chen Yi He held her up.
"Damn it, why did you faint at the crucial moment!" Chen Yi He cursed loudly!
The guest room's door was blocked by the black-clad men, and the entire second floor was packed tight by them.
Chen Yi He looked out the window; the heavy night made the street pitch black, he could only steel himself, he hoisted Xiao Xiaoyu horizontally, took big strides, and crashed into the window!
Chen Yi He held Xiao Xiaoyu tightly; when landing, he also dragged her, the pain almost made him bite his teeth! He hurriedly stood up, hoisted her onto his shoulder again, and sprinted all the way.
"They've run! Chase after them!" The black-clad men surged out wildly from the Great Fortune Inn, but by the time they ran out, those two had vanished without a trace...
The leader of the black-clad men pounded the ground with both fists in anger, the fish almost in his grasp slipped away!
