“How dare you, you scrawny little creep! Did I ever say I wanted to participate in some ridiculous competition? That broken Xuanfeng Order, do you think I care about it? I’m just here to join the fun and watch the show. And you, stop spouting nonsense! Now that you’ve said that, I can’t back out even if I wanted to. And you! Just because you’re draped in fancy clothes doesn’t mean you can hide that ugly, scrawny face of yours. A lowlife like you, no matter how splendidly dressed, can’t cover up that disgraceful look. Damn it, how do you know I can’t beat that bastard? Just because he’s been in Jianghu for half his life, does that make him impressive? Haven’t you heard the difference between a genius and a fool? People often say that the line between genius and fool is thin, but the results are worlds apart. A genius can learn in a short time what a fool might take a lifetime to grasp. So what if that scrawny uncle has been in Jianghu for so long? I can still beat him into a pig’s head, do you believe me?”
After hearing those two creeps, Meng Xiaoyu was furious and cursed them in her heart.
“Xiaoyu came here to accompany my sisters, not to compete for the title of leader of the martial arts world or the Xuanfeng Order. But since Senior Wang is eager to spar with a youngster like me, it wouldn’t be polite for Xiaoyu to refuse. So why don’t we take this opportunity, since there’s still some time before the hero gathering starts, to let the two of them spar a bit? If Young Master Xiaoyao also wants to compete with this little one, he can join Senior Wang,” Han Rubing said with a smile, her lips gently parting as she spoke, despite her anger at how those two creeps looked down on her little one.
“Sister Rubing?”
Meng Xiaoyu looked at Han Rubing in surprise after hearing her words.
“It’s fine, little one. Although those two can be considered experts, you can still win,” Han Rubing gently reassured Meng Xiaoyu, who looked incredulous, as she ruffled her hair.
“Wuwu, how could it be fine! How could I possibly defeat those two so-called experts?”
Meng Xiaoyu burst into tears at Han Rubing’s comforting words.
“Xiaoyu, it’s okay, they can’t beat you,” Han Rushuang softly comforted, seeing Meng Xiaoyu’s sorrowful face.
She understood why her sister was doing this.
With Xiaoyu’s current martial arts skills, she could easily rank among the experts, but she lacked confidence in her abilities, which was a big taboo for martial artists.
If someone doesn’t believe in their own capabilities, even if they learn extraordinary skills later, they might lose to others due to a lack of confidence.
Moreover, Xiaoyu was too naive to survive in the treacherous Jianghu.
Although she and her sister would do their utmost to protect her, their abilities were limited.
If one day they were careless, Xiaoyu could be harmed because of her innocence.
Rather than waiting until she got hurt to teach her, it was better to let her gain some experience now.
Those two might have decent skills, but compared to Xiaoyu, they were still lacking.
As long as she took it seriously, defeating them would be easy.
And even if they played dirty, she had her sister and herself there to back her up!
While Han Rubing and her sister were comforting the tearful Meng Xiaoyu, the two creeps were left somewhat stunned after hearing Han Rubing’s words.
Letting that little girl compete against the likes of Jiang Wang and Young Master Xiaoyao?
That was simply absurd!
Those two were well-known experts in Jianghu, and how could a little girl, who had just started learning from the old master Mi, possibly learn extraordinary martial arts in just two months?
Wasn’t that sending her to her death?
“Hahaha, since the Grand Master of Chaque Palace has said so, I, Xiaoyao, will respectfully comply! But just a reminder, fists and feet have no eyes. If I accidentally hurt this little girl while sparring with Brother Wang, I hope the Grand Master will be forgiving!”
Initially, Li Tianlu had some doubts after hearing Han Rubing’s words, wondering if the little girl had truly learned some extraordinary martial arts for Han Rubing to dare suggest a one-on-two match.
However, when he saw the little girl’s surprised expression and then her sorrowful face after hearing Han Rubing, he completely dismissed his earlier doubts and shamelessly agreed, even saying something very shameless.
“It’s fine, sparring is like that. As long as it doesn’t endanger her life, my sister and I won’t mind,” Li Tianlu said with a shameless grin.
Hearing such shameless words from Young Master Xiaoyao made Han Rubing extremely angry, but even though she was furious, she maintained a composed smile, her eyes, however, were icy cold.
“How can you say such shameless things? If I don’t beat you until your face is covered in flowers today, you might really think I’m an easy target!”
Meng Xiaoyu was also furious after hearing Young Master Xiaoyao’s shameless words.
She didn’t blame Sister Rubing for putting her in a one-on-two situation because she knew Rubing sister wouldn’t harm her.
She was just angry that Young Master Xiaoyao, that bastard, was taking advantage of the situation and acting all innocent; it was truly despicable.
“Since you say that, if I accidentally hurt you two, you wouldn’t mind, right?”
Meng Xiaoyu glared at Li Tianlu with a face full of anger.
“Hahaha, of course, we wouldn’t mind. What about you, Brother Wang?”
Li Tianlu said arrogantly.
“Hehehe, I certainly wouldn’t mind,” Jiang Wang replied, then turned to the big bearded man and the old man with the gray beard, saying, “Then please, Master Tie and Master Zhao, be our witnesses!”
“Hahaha, that’s no problem!” the big bearded man laughed heartily.
“Hehehe, since the three of you are so interested, I, the old man, will also bear witness. But just a reminder, fists and feet have no eyes, so I hope you two will hold back and not endanger this little girl’s life!” the old man with the gray beard said with a light smile, but the implication of his words was clear: Meng Xiaoyu was just a little child, so you two better be careful and not kill her.
The old man’s words were extremely grating to Meng Xiaoyu’s ears.
“What do you mean, you old fool? How dare you say such things! So despicable!”
Originally, Meng Xiaoyu had a bit of a good impression of the old man with the gray beard, but after hearing his words, that tiny bit of goodwill instantly turned into negative feelings.
However, what she didn’t expect was that the big bearded man’s next words would infuriate her even more.
