Chapter 10 Ye Yinping
The Chu Xiang Heroes' Gathering may not be well-known throughout the world, but it is an annual grand event in Chu Xiang City. Winning this event makes one famous within a hundred miles of Chu Xiang City.
Sheng Wansong had remained unknown for thirteen years, but this time he suddenly became famous and is now somewhat well-known in the martial arts world.
Fame held little appeal for him this time; otherwise, if he were to display his full power, who in the world wouldn't know him?
Everything Sheng Wansong did was done spontaneously.
I wanted to meet the legendary most beautiful woman in Jiangnan, and the invitation was right in front of me, so I just grabbed it.
After the match, to avoid being bothered by bored fans, Sheng Wansong took An'an and jumped off the outer wall.
Then, he knocked over a little green girl.
"ah--!"
The girl, dressed in green military uniform and carrying a long spear, prostrated herself on the ground, with a boy holding a little girl standing on her back.
Sheng Wansong quickly stepped aside and gently placed An'an on the ground.
The young girl drew her spear and shouted angrily, "Who attacked me!"
This young woman has delicate features, and her tight-fitting military uniform accentuates her slender figure. Her chest bulges out quite a bit, and her long black hair is tied into a high ponytail with a red ribbon. She is a heroic and valiant young female warrior.
"The person who attacked you ran that way."
Anlan, the little devil, was born evil. She believed that God could not lie, so she pointed to the corner ahead.
"I'm going to stomp on him a hundred times!"
The girl hurriedly chased after him, but stopped abruptly at the intersection. "No! I have to go to the Chu Xiang Heroes' Gathering!"
Sheng Wansong reminded them, "The Chu Xiang Heroes' Gathering is over."
"What?!"
The girl looked like the sky had fallen.
His expressions were quite rich and exaggerated, making him seem very easy to fool.
"We're just about to have dinner, why don't you join us, so we can tell you about the Chu-Xiang Heroes' Gathering."
"OK."
The girl agreed without hesitation, adding, "But I forgot to bring any money with me when I went out."
"It's my treat."
"How could I possibly accept that?"
The girl patted her belly and happily followed behind the two.
The three of them returned to the ordinary restaurant where they had lunch. There were three people at noon and three people in the evening, which means that no one was missing.
Upon seeing the three people, the old beggar squatting at the shop entrance squinted and asked, "Where's Fang Weihan?"
"Who?"
The beggar laughed in anger, rolled up his sleeves, and said, "You shameless scoundrel! Even if you win the ring, how can you be called a hero if you don't have the virtue to match it? This old beggar is going to take you today!"
Sheng Wansong still didn't glance at him, and walked straight into the restaurant. "Old man, didn't you already save him?"
"Well."
The old beggar stammered for a moment, then muttered, "I never imagined I'd misjudged you. I thought you were just a weak and useless scholar."
"Then you really are getting old and your eyesight is failing."
The well-behaved child in green offered advice, saying, "I think it's not good to call old people 'old things'."
He doesn't dislike these nicknames.
"Is that so?"
After the three were seated, Sheng Wansong called over the waiter and said, "That old man saved me a lot of trouble. Give him a bottle of Qionghua Dew and a roast chicken."
The old beggar, who had been hesitant, suddenly became cheerful upon seeing the chicken and wine, and sat down to eat heartily.
The girl at the dinner table also ended up with a similarly messy face from eating.
"I am Sheng Wansong, and this is An Lan."
"My name is Ye Yinping. Brother Sheng, you are such a kind person. You treated me to a meal and also treated the old man to chicken."
Calling her "big brother" after just one meal, this girl is really easy to fool.
Sheng Wansong laughed, "The person who stepped on your foot is an acquaintance of mine. He didn't do it on purpose, so I'm treating him to this meal to apologize on his behalf."
"Then I forgive him!"
Open-minded and cheerful, innocent and carefree. You could also say they are thoughtless and simple-minded.
Halfway through her meal, Ye Yinping suddenly stopped. "That old man just now seemed to say that Brother Sheng is the leader of the heroes of Chu Xiang?!"
At this point, he should have said something humble, like "I am unworthy" or "I was lucky to win." But as a transmigrator, and one with a cheat ability at that, Sheng Wansong was already showing restraint by not publicly shouting, "You are all inferior beings!" Getting him to humbly refer to himself as "I" or "this humble one" would be harder than killing him.
So he said indirectly, "The heroes of Chu and Xiang are nothing in the grand scheme of things."
An'an put down her chicken leg and chimed in, "Master is the most powerful. Those two Wudang disciples were beaten like wild dogs by Master."
"My dad said that if I won the Chu-Xiang Heroes' Gathering, he'd let me roam the martial world freely, but I overslept... ugh."
After hesitating for a moment, Ye Yinping's eyes lit up. "If I beat you, Brother Sheng, wouldn't that be the same as winning the championship?! Then I could explain it to Father!"
Sheng Wansong stroked his chin. "That makes sense. I'll exercise after dinner."
After finishing their meal, the three of them returned together to Katsuman-matsu's residence.
The house has a small courtyard, but the open space paved with blue bricks is more than enough for two people to perform acrobatics.
Ye Yinping's weapon was a red-tasseled spear, taller than herself. She wielded it with great power and agility, making a whistling sound as it sliced through the air.
An inch longer, an inch stronger. The advantage of a gun lies in its length. A smart gunman will keep his distance from his opponent and use footwork to maneuver around him.
This is a spear technique used in martial arts, but it is not the same as a military formation killing method.
When two armies clash, there is no room for retreat or maneuvering; only by burning their boats and charging forward can they survive.
With a spear in hand, Ye Yinping's innocent eyes instantly sharpened, and a chilling aura from the battlefield swept across the area.
The familiar scent awakened An'an's memories.
On that day, it was people with the same aura who slaughtered everyone in Fujiki Village. An Lan's old wound on his ankle throbbed with pain, and his body swayed unsteadily.
Anger and resentment surged within her once more.
"A marksman in the army, surnamed Ye, could he be from the Ye family army?"
"Ye Family Army, Ye Yinping! Please advise!"
Ye Yinping's sharp cry confirmed Sheng Wansong's guess.
"Qingfeng Academy surpasses Wansong."
As soon as she finished speaking, Ye Yinping's eyes burned with fighting spirit. She brandished her spear and charged forward, the spear in her hand like a thunderbolt piercing the air, thrusting straight at him.
The red tassels were dazzling, and the thunderous sound was deafening, but Sheng Wansong's attention remained fixed on An'an at the edge of the open space.
She is afraid.
Originally, I wanted to flirt with Ye Yinping and improve our relationship, but since An'an is not feeling well, I should end it as soon as possible.
Ye Yinping's thrust was not just a straight stab, but rather like a torrential downpour of thunder, leaving no place to land.
Faced with a flurry of gunfire, Sheng Wan released his grip and precisely controlled the gun barrel, causing the gun shadows to converge and become impenetrable.
"Miss Ye, your strength is second only to Yuan Tai of Wudang in the Heroes' Gathering."
Ye Yinping pouted and sullenly slung the gun behind her back. "So that means there are two people who are stronger than me."
"Yuan Tai is more than ten years older than you, but his martial arts skills are not much better. You will catch up with him soon."
After offering a casual word of comfort, Sheng Wansong walked towards An Lan. Ye Yinping belatedly noticed the girl's unusual behavior and asked, "What's wrong, An'an?"
After Sheng Wansong gave a brief explanation, the Wu family girl flew into a rage, shouting, "Those scoundrels from the Lü family deserve to have their entire family killed!"
"The entire Lü family is for An'an."
Sheng Wansong picked An Lan up, and the girl gripped his sleeve tightly. "Master, it's been three days, and your scent is fading."
"Please teach me how to cultivate the Ren meridian."
