With a proud expression, Meng Xiaoyu proudly announced the name of the martial art she had come up with, as if to say, “Look how clever I am to think of such a unique name, unprecedented and unmatched, powerful and invincible.”
She glanced at Han Rubing and her sister, expecting them to shower her with compliments.
However, the two sisters were left speechless after hearing the rather ridiculous name Meng Xiaoyu had chosen.
When they noticed Meng Xiaoyu looking at them with a hopeful expression, seeking praise, it only added to their disbelief, causing three thick black lines to appear on their foreheads.
“What’s wrong? Is the name not good?”
After waiting for a while without receiving any compliments from Han Rubing and her sister, Meng Xiaoyu asked, puzzled.
“Little one, I think your martial art should be called ‘Divine Sword Point’ instead,” Han Rubing said softly, not wanting to dwell on the topic of names any longer.
After saying this, she turned and left the room.
Han Rushuang also seemed unwilling to say more.
She stood up, retrieved a set of pink clothes from a box in the room, handed them to Meng Xiaoyu, and then turned to leave as well.
“What’s going on? Is the name ‘Invincible External Gold Finger’ really that bad?”
Meng Xiaoyu muttered to herself, feeling a bit confused as she watched Han Rubing and her sister exit the room one after the other.
Standing not far in front of her were two lecherous men with annoying smirks that made her want to kick them, along with a crowd watching from a distance.
To her right, Han Rubing smiled encouragingly at her, while Han Rushuang maintained a cold expression, her gaze never leaving Meng Xiaoyu.
Meng Xiaoyu smirked slightly, her eyes filled with provocation as she looked at Li Tianlu and Wang Mazi.
Then, imitating the martial artists she had seen on TV, she cupped her fists and performed a martial salute to them, saying, “Please, gentlemen.”
“Watch out, little girl!”
Seeing Meng Xiaoyu take her stance, Wang Mazi wasted no time and charged at her with both fists raised.
Li Tianlu, noticing Wang Mazi had already attacked, wiped the smile off his face and pulled out two short swords, one in each hand, attacking Meng Xiaoyu from the left.
As the two men closed in on her, Meng Xiaoyu quickly sidestepped to avoid Wang Mazi’s punch.
She then hurriedly drew her Qingyue Sword to block Li Tianlu’s thrusting short sword.
This dodge and block left Meng Xiaoyu, who had never experienced real combat, looking somewhat flustered.
“Hehehe, the little girl’s skills are quite good, but now take this!”
Wang Mazi said, throwing another punch at Meng Xiaoyu.
After being blocked by Meng Xiaoyu, Li Tianlu changed his attack and slashed diagonally at her.
Raising her sword with her right hand to block Li Tianlu’s diagonal strike, she used her left hand to shield herself with the sword sheath against the horizontal slash from Li Tianlu’s other sword.
Then, she lifted her right leg and kicked towards Li Tianlu’s groin.
“Ah~~~~~~~~” A scream echoed through the air.
Li Tianlu had not expected Meng Xiaoyu to counterattack like that, and he was caught off guard.
The sudden pain made him drop his short sword, clutching his groin as he fell to the ground, rolling in agony.
Having dealt with Li Tianlu, Meng Xiaoyu turned and kicked at Jiang Wang, who was stunned by Li Tianlu’s howl.
However, she failed to connect, as Jiang Wang snapped back to reality just in time to dodge her lethal kick.
“Hey, you’re too despicable! How can a girl use such dirty tricks?”
Jiang Wang shouted angrily, pointing at Meng Xiaoyu after narrowly avoiding her kick.
“Oh? Where am I being despicable? Where is it dirty? Uncle, don’t just make wild accusations!”
Meng Xiaoyu said lightly, rubbing her ears that were ringing from Jiang Wang’s loud voice.
“If you’re not despicable or dirty, then why did you kick at someone’s vital parts?”
Li Tianlu, still rolling on the ground in pain, shouted in frustration.
“At that moment, it was an emergency! I had both hands occupied with his short sword, and you were coming at me with a big iron fist. Of course, I had to deal with him first before I could handle your punch! My right hand was blocking his left-hand sword, and my left hand was using the sheath to block his right-hand horizontal slash, so both were occupied, and you were attacking me from the side at high speed. In a panic, I had no choice but to try to push him back with my foot, but I didn’t aim properly in the heat of the moment! You can’t blame me for that! Besides, I didn’t use much strength!”
Meng Xiaoyu said, her eyes glistening with innocence as she explained.
“Indeed, in a moment of panic, it’s inevitable to make mistakes, or rather, missteps, so we can’t blame the little girl, right? Besides, you two big men are attacking a little girl; isn’t that despicable and shameless?”
A burly man with a curved knife said in a rough voice, having been swayed by Meng Xiaoyu’s innocent expression.
“Exactly! It’s a competition! It’s all fair game! The little girl just had a momentary misstep! How can you yell at a little girl like that? Look, she’s about to cry!”
Another burly man in a dark blue robe, holding a sword, added.
“That’s right! A competition is all about punches and kicks; we can’t blame the little girl!”
“Yes! Yes! It’s not the little girl’s fault at all!”
“Exactly, exactly…”
As the two burly men spoke, many others who had been swayed by Meng Xiaoyu’s innocent and pitiful expression began to echo their sentiments.
