Volume 19: Legend of Lu Xiaofeng Chapter 532: The Old Man's Martial Spirit
Bai Yujing has invited Shaman to Zixia Palace.
Imperial Concubine Zixia glanced at her and started to tease her while trying to pull Bai Yujing aside.
Su Weiyun said, "Forget it. Let this Shaman girl worship Baiyun City Lord as her teacher and learn sword well."
Imperial Concubine Zixia was surprised and asked, "You actually let such a beautiful girl learn swordsmanship from Ye Gucheng?"
Su Weiyun smiled and said, "Such a beautiful girl, it's a pity that she has nothing to do with me."
Imperial Concubine Zixia walked up to Shaman, patted her back, and said, "Miss Sha, please smile. You always have a cold face, no wonder Hero Su doesn't like you."
Shaman still looked cold, but finally spoke.
"Did you kill 'Flying Jade Tiger' Fang Yufei?"
The first thing she said was about this matter.
Su Weiyun replied: "It's me."
Shaman added: "Fang Yufei is my biological elder brother."
Imperial Concubine Zixia was shocked after hearing this and asked, "Are you going to seek revenge on him?"
Shaman shook his head and said, "He sold me to a brothel when I was very young and recognized another woman as his sister."
She was talking about a tragic past, but her tone was cold and calm, as if she had buried it deeply.
Imperial Concubine Zixia smiled and said, "Then he finally helped you get revenge."
Shaman said: "That's right! So no matter what he asks for, I can accept it!"
She is tall, has long legs, and possesses a nearly perfect figure. Her face is impeccable, and coupled with her cold and noble temperament, it is easy to guess what kind of excessive demands men will make of her.
Imperial Concubine Zixia said, "Master Su, Miss Sha has already taken the initiative. You still want to..."
Su Weiyun interrupted and said, "She was originally the lover of Prince Taiping's son Gong Jiu."
Imperial Concubine Zixia suppressed her smile and said, "Is he Gong Jiu, the disciple of old man Wu Ming?"
Su Weiyun said: "It's this person!"
Imperial Concubine Zixia looked puzzled and asked, "Then how could Wu Ming send her to you?"
Su Weiyun said: "This is the bet I made with him."
Bai Yujing asked, "The old man lost again?"
Su Weiyun said: "It is said that he only loses once in a while, but it seems that he always fails when he meets me."
Bai Yujing sighed and said, "In this vast world, you are the only one who can teach him to lose twice in a row!"
Su Weiyun said: "Maybe he will lose again."
Bai Yujing looked at Su Weiyun suddenly, stared at her for a long time, and then asked, "Do you want to go to the Nameless Island again?"
Su Weiyun said: "That's exactly what I meant! After the battle at Holy Mother Water Peak, my internal strength has reached an unprecedented level. I dare not say that there will be no one to surpass me, but perhaps there has never been anyone before me!"
——That battle was equivalent to Yu Yu Luosha sacrificing her own divine cultivation to help Su Weiyun leap into the sky like a true dragon and achieve divine power.
Bai Yujing asked slowly: "Are you confident that you can defeat Wu Ming?"
Su Weiyun said: "No."
Imperial Concubine Zixia couldn't help but glare and said, "Then why are you going?!"
Su Weiyun said: "I don't have confidence, but I have a chance. If we wait until Gong Jiu also becomes a god, there will be no chance at all."
Inside Zixia Palace, the palace gate was wide open and there was a rustling of footsteps.
All the ordinary palace maids, eunuchs and guards had been driven out.
Imperial Concubine Zixia understood that not a single word of what she was going to say next could be heard by anyone else.
After all these people left, only Su Weiyun, Bai Yujing, Imperial Concubine Zixia and Shaman were left in Zixia Palace.
At this time, Bai Yujing frowned and asked, "Why? Isn't Ximen Chuxue also about to be promoted to a god? Liu Changjie may also return at any time. Can't the two of them deal with Gong Jiu?"
Su Weiyun took a deep breath and said, "The truly powerful one is not Gong Jiu, but the little old man!"
"What's the meaning?"
"People may not understand where the old man's path is, but I guessed it from the first time I saw him. So later I went to the Nameless Island again, perhaps because I wanted to spy on the secrets of his martial arts."
Bai Yujing asked: "What is the old man's martial arts secret?"
Su Weiyun said: "You must have heard a saying."
Bai Yujing said, "You tell me."
Su Weiyun said: "The Master said: 'If you want to establish yourself, help others to establish themselves; if you want to succeed yourself, help others to succeed'!"
If you want to succeed, help others to succeed; if you want to succeed, help others to succeed. This is a very great sentiment and thought.
Bai Yujing said: "These are the words of a sage, which were spoken by the sage in the Analects. They are widely circulated and probably few scholars do not know them."
The Analects of Confucius is a must-read book for Confucian scholars. Every word is a gem and every sentence is a classic.
Imperial Concubine Zixia smiled and said, "Even I know this sentence. It may be more widely spread than the 'Five Tigers Breaking the Gate Sword'! Could it be that this sentence hides Wu Ming's secret?"
Su Weiyun said slowly: "Although many people know about it, how many of them can really do it? The only one who can take it as a belief, cultivate himself with it, and integrate it into the spirit of martial arts is the little old man Wu Ming!"
"Do you mean..."
Imperial Concubine Zixia fiddled with the hair that fell on her shoulders, frowned, pondered, and finally said, "Does it mean that once Wu Ming trains a god, his ideals will be realized, and teaching and learning will benefit each other, and his martial arts will also be able to achieve a breakthrough?"
Bai Yujing murmured, "The martial arts spirit of the gods..."
Su Weiyun said: "If I'm right, this is how the old man practices. Otherwise, it's hard to explain why he works so hard to train his disciples. From Di Qinglin to Gong Jiu, he has really put a lot of effort into it!"
"The reason why I wanted to do something to Miss Shaman was not because I had a sudden desire, but because I wanted to curb Gong Jiu's practice and destroy his mind, thereby slowing down the old man's martial arts journey."
Everyone stood there and thought for a long time.
Imperial Concubine Zixia continued, "I remember that Wu Ming had indeed searched for many young prodigies throughout the country, taught them skills, and bestowed upon them secret manuals. But... could it be that he was just too ambitious and wanted to cultivate talents for his own use?"
Bai Yujing understood and said firmly: "No!"
"The old man has great ambitions and the will to rule the country. If he really wants to expand his power, he should cultivate civil officials and military generals, military marshals, and people who can rule the country, rather than martial arts masters!"
Bai Yujing said: "Unless it is related to his own martial arts training, he would not waste so much time and energy! Yes, this all makes sense!"
For Bai Yujing, this was a difficult question left over from the Qinglong Society thirteen years ago, and it was finally solved today.
At this point, Bai Yujing suddenly showed a strange look in his eyes, and said: "But even if he achieves a higher realm, what does it matter? Does he really think that he can change the world with his own strength?"
Su Weiyun suddenly fell silent.
Bai Yujing thought for a moment and said, "When you go to Wuming Island, I can order someone to lead the army to support you. If anything unexpected happens, I can also help you!"
Su Weiyun refused, "This would only alert the enemy and might even trigger a counterattack from the overseas forces controlled by the old man. This would be of no benefit to the country or the people."
"Besides, if we scare him away and make him flee far into the ocean, it will be difficult for me to fight him."
Bai Yujing asked, "Why are you so obsessed with competing with him?"
Su Weiyun smiled and said, "Isn't it the same as Ximen Chuxue and Ye Gucheng on the top of the Forbidden City? It seems that all swordsmen have this weird temper!"
