Chapter 73: Reward you with three whips, a small punishment for a big warning, break one of your feet, as a

Everyone in the courtyard heard this. Wood Daoist and Gusong Jushi deeply felt the arrogance of this child, while Shi Xiuxue's clear eyes showed a trace of fluctuation. Listening to his tone, she felt a little familiar temperament.

Hua Manlou was also afraid that his younger brother would say something inappropriate, so he walked out and raised his hand to signal Wood Daoist and Gusong Jushi to go first.

After Shi Xiuxue walked into the Zen room, he whispered a warning to the red-clothed youth:

"Pay attention to your words, and be careful yourself. Don't fall down. I will bring some vegetarian food out later."

"You are truly my good brother." The red-clothed youth waved his hand:

"You might as well come down the mountain with me to eat later."

Hua Manlou sighed lightly, walked into the Zen room, and lifted the bamboo curtain, only to stand still in place just like the three who had just entered.

One could see that the vegetarian dishes had all been placed on the table, but someone was eating heartily. Not only did he not bathe or incense, but he was also covered in mud, emitting bursts of sweaty odor.

And Bitter Melon Master not only did not dislike it, but instead served him diligently, taking the initiative to pick up dishes for him.

"What a double standard. Old Daoist sees this scene and instantly feels that what Little Hua Lay Buddhist said is very accurate."

Wood Daoist sighed:

"He insisted that we incense and bathe, but this person seems to have just rolled in the mud, and he doesn't care about his rules at all."

"In order to eat a vegetarian meal, I changed out of my thousand-patched Daoist robe and wore a spotless blue cloth shirt."

Gusong Jushi nodded:

"Indeed, it's a double standard. He invited us, but let others eat first."

Bitter Melon Master opened his mouth harmoniously:

"I also heard the words of Little Hua Lay Buddhist outside. It is indeed a double standard, but it is only a double standard for him alone."

"Please forgive me, Master. My younger brother is young and doesn't understand the rules of the martial arts world." Hua Manlou apologized sincerely.

"No matter, what was said is the truth." Bitter Melon Master smiled without caring at all.

"Hahaha, you can't blame it all on you." Wood Daoist said helplessly:

"Last time this person stole two jars of fifty-year-old daughter red, and I could only stare at him dryly. It was also a double standard for him alone."

Hua Manlou agreed incomparably:

"Meeting this person, even a Bodhisattva, I fear, would only have a double standard."

The person covered in odor was Lu Xiaofeng, who said indifferently:

"You three can scold as much as you want. The more happily you scold, the more happily I eat."

While several people were chatting in the room, a man walked into the courtyard. He was a very handsome man with great attraction, and he didn't look very old, about thirty or so.

He wore a refined and novel robe made of the best materials and held a folding fan that looked expensive.

Just as he pushed open the big door, he saw a red-clothed youth lying on a vine in the courtyard, and couldn't help but be stunned, then praised gently and elegantly:

"Little brother has good skills."

Zhuang Buran said slowly:

"Disturbing people's peace is a very rude thing. Do you want to say sorry to me?"

Jin Jiuling was stunned again. Although he had long since washed his hands of the business, he still had the name of the number one constable in the world.

In the Six Fan Gates, he was also recognized as the number one expert in three hundred years. He didn't expect to meet such an arrogant and annoying martial arts junior.

A trace of haze floated in his eyes, but thinking that there was something important, he put on a very heroic appearance:

"Sorry, I just felt that little brother's light martial arts are excellent, very suitable for joining the Six Fan Gates to chase criminals."

"Are you blind, or am I blind? You actually let a blind person go to arrest criminals." The red-clothed youth said lazily:

"For a moment, I don't know if you are stupid or dumb to say such brainless words."

"Little brother, you've gone too far." Jin Jiuling's face turned cold: "I meant well, don't bully people too much."

"I don't have the bad habit of bullying people. You clearly came to disturb my rest, but you came to rake it back." Zhuang Buran said nonchalantly:

"People like you must be good at being thieves, deceiving people, and lying. Isn't that what people like you are best at?"

Jin Jiuling's pupils shrank, and he said sternly:

"Although I have left the Six Fan Gates for several years, I was once a generation of famous constables. Whether it was a big or small case, as long as it was in my hands, there was no case that couldn't be broken. You actually speak rudely like this, saying I..."

Before he finished speaking, Hua Manlou walked out quickly with an apologetic face:

"Chief Jin, I'm sorry. My younger brother has been spoiled since he was young and doesn't understand the rules of the martial arts world. Please forgive me."

The others also walked out, and Jin Jiuling's senior brother, Bitter Melon Master, smoothed things over:

"Junior brother, this little lay Buddhist has anger in his heart because I broke my promise. Don't take offense."

He turned to look at the red-clothed youth:

"Please forgive me, Master. The monk has already made plans to prepare another vegetarian banquet in the evening, which is considered a make-up for everyone."

"You broke your promise first, but you only plan to prepare one. Could it be that monks are so stingy that they don't even understand the principle of 'compensating ten times for one fake'?"

As soon as Zhuang Buran finished speaking, Hua Manlou immediately called out:

"Little Eight!"

"Fine, I don't care whether to eat or not. I am small-minded and have never avoided speculating about others with the darkest thoughts. What if the Master spits in the food, or poisons it..."

"Hua Manxin!"

Hua Manlou really couldn't bear it anymore and shouted at a higher volume.

"Sigh, Hua Qitong, now you know why I don't like going out." Zhuang Buran said lightly:

"Once you enter the martial arts world and see some people, you can't help but offend them to death."

Hearing this, the expressions of the people in the courtyard, which were originally difficult to describe, relaxed slightly, only feeling that this red-clothed youth still had a bit of self-knowledge.

Hua Manlou apologized again:

"Master, Chief Jin, I'm really sorry. My younger brother has been weak and sickly since he was young, and has a premature aging appearance, which has raised a spoiled temperament."

Lu Xiaofeng said carelessly:

"Young and vigorous, lawless, with eyes on top of his head—isn't this the youth we miss the most? This is the most normal thing."

As soon as these words were spoken, the atmosphere in the courtyard became much better, and Shi Xiuxue's hanging heart was completely let go. Just now, she was deeply afraid that a certain red-clothed youth would suddenly attack.

Everyone said that Jin Jiuling was the number one expert in the Six Fan Gates for hundreds of years, and his martial arts were unfathomable, but she didn't think he would be the opponent of someone, just because no matter how high Jin Jiuling's martial arts were, were they as high as her master's?

As the atmosphere eased, everyone entered the Zen room, leaving Zhuang Buran to rest outside.

Not long after, Lu Xiaofeng left first, then Wood Daoist and Gusong Jushi, and then Jin Jiuling.

Halfway up Mount Jiuhua.

"Hua Qitong, why are you and Lu Xiaofeng meddling in other people's business again?"

"An 'Embroidery Thief' has appeared in the martial arts world, using embroidery needles, two needles for one, embroidering seventy or eighty blind people."

Hua Manlou said indifferently:

"I am naturally very curious, wanting to know who it is, not only embroidering a group of experts into blind people but also stealing eighteen dou of bright pearls from the Pingnan Prince's Mansion, seventy volumes of priceless calligraphy and paintings from Huayuxuan, eight hundred thousand taels of escort silver from Zhenyuan, a batch of red goods from Zhendong Bao, and ninety thousand taels of gold leaves from Jinsha River."

"This person did sixty or seventy big cases in one month, and all of them were done by him alone. How could this not arouse great curiosity?"

The red-clothed youth curled his lip:

"Miss Shi, then why do you want to follow?"

"Can I say I am also curious?" Shi Xiuxue said hesitantly.

Zhuang Buran said indifferently:

"Then you go find Chang Mantian, the first person to be embroidered into a blind person by the Embroidery Thief."

"According to your temperament, it seems you plan to return..." Before Hua Manlou finished speaking, he was interrupted by the red-clothed youth:

"Who said I was going back."

"You actually still want to stay outside?" Hua Manlou looked surprised.

"I heard that the world-famous Ye Gucheng is the instructor of the Pingnan Prince's Mansion. If the mansion has a theft case, they will definitely invite him to sit in town. I think I should have the opportunity to witness his 'Heavenly Beyond Heaven' swordplay."

"You don't practice sword, where do you get the habit of a swordsman?" Hua Manlou was surprised.

"I don't practice sword, but that doesn't mean I don't know swordplay." The red-clothed youth coughed lightly:

"I originally intended to get along with you as an ordinary person, but what I got in return was alienation and misunderstanding."

"I must solemnly remind you that I am an extraordinary peerless swordsman."

"Little Eight, what kind of tricks are you playing again?" Hua Manlou looked serious:

"Existences like the White Cloud City Lord and Ximen Chuixue have an unusual obsession with the Dao of the Sword, especially a great interest in so-called swordsman experts."

"Just like you said before, you don't want the white-haired to send the black-haired for me, right?"

"Walking in the martial arts world with you, I can't get any energy. I'll go one step ahead and wait for you in Yangcheng."

The red-clothed youth said, and like a golden goose crossing the sky, he leaped eight or nine zhang, showing extraordinary light martial arts.

Hua Manlou couldn't care about showing any suspicious expression and shouted hurriedly:

"Hua Manxin, remember to restrain your temperament. I don't want to keep apologizing to people like today."

Shi Xiuxue thought thoughtfully:

"Brother Hua, I think with the martial arts your brother showed, you shouldn't have the opportunity to apologize to people again."

About half an hour later.

A man in luxurious robes, about thirty years old, rode a horse.

Not far away in the clouds and mist, there was vaguely a red-clothed youth.

"Having provoked Zhuang, and still being able to run away unscathed, how can there be such a reason in the world."

Zhuang Buran took a circle of rice paper rolled into a hemp rope from his sleeve, held the rope head, and the rice paper rope fell, turning into a long whip of dozens of zhang.

After the long whip was filled with Universal Flow Wind Energy, it immediately became unpredictable, touching and leaving, all following his intent.

With a loud explosion, Jin Jiuling, who was riding a horse, was hit heavily on the back, instantly skin and flesh torn, screaming in pain, and flew out horizontally.

Before he could land, another loud explosion, and another whip hit his back, causing him to fall to the other side, followed by another loud explosion, and another whip hit his back.

When he finally smashed to the ground, he let out a miserable scream, but it was his left leg broken below the knee, gushing out a large amount of fresh blood.

Immediately, a breeze blew, and a pool of fine sand appeared in front of him. After a while of gathering and scattering, a line of small characters appeared.

"Walking with the left foot first, rewarding you with three whips, a small punishment for a big warning, breaking one of your feet, as a warning."
