Who in the world does not know you?

Chapter 84 You Dare

Ningzhou Prefecture, Ruyi Inn.

The guest staying in Room Number One of the Heavenly Class was the young master of the Wan Jie Sect, a famous figure in the martial arts world.

Lengxiao's personality wasn't that arrogant, so naturally he wouldn't boast about his identity to everyone he met.

He wanted to keep a low profile, but others wouldn't allow it.

"Hey Young Master Leng, it's been several days, have you recovered from your injuries yet? If you have, hurry up and come down here for a fight! You're good-looking, but why are you acting so effeminate?"

Hearing the shouts outside, Lengxiao felt annoyed.

Since that day when he accidentally injured himself by disrupting his internal energy while finishing a move in the pine forest of Nanshan, he has been staying temporarily at the Ruyi Inn in Ningzhou Prefecture.

Wan Xiaoxiao was someone he hired from the Hundred Stories Academy to keep track of his defeats; she wasn't his personal maid, so naturally she couldn't be by his side all the time.

Moreover, Wan Xiaoxiao had to deliver her recorded observations to the various branch academies, which would then print them into local tabloids for sale. As a result, she had long since disappeared without a trace.

The Jianghu Gazette published by Baiwen Academy is the most convenient channel for most people to learn about the latest happenings in the Jianghu. The latest issue of the Jianghu Gazette records in detail the battle between Leng Xiao and Wen Zhao, including his eventual defeat.

Prior to this, Lengxiao had suffered several defeats, so this was not surprising.

While others were unaware of the details of the events, Wen Zhao, Leng Xiao's rival, knew everything.

That day, she clearly noticed that the Silver Wing Demon-Slaying Spear in Leng Xiao's hand was wrapped with a powerful internal force that she had not felt before. This wind-breaking force seemed to have a spirit, accelerating Leng Xiao's attack speed and making it difficult for her to dodge as calmly as before.

Just as she sensed something was wrong, the powerful internal force in Leng Xiao's spear receded like a tide in an instant. Instead, Leng Xiao coughed up blood and staggered back several steps, losing her balance and becoming unsteady until she barely managed to support herself with the spear in her hand.

Before this, Wen Zhao had never lost.

But she had never won in such a frustrating way before.

She had a premonition that she might not be able to withstand the powerful killing move of the Silver Wing Demon-Slaying Spear.

She could accept losing to Leng Xiao because of this, but she couldn't accept Leng Xiao backing down at the last minute, which she saw as a silent form of contempt.

So ever since she learned that Leng Xiao had checked into Ruyi Inn, she has been coming every day to loudly provoke him.

Wen Zhao was a notorious troublemaker in Ningzhou Prefecture, and as time went on, the local people all knew that the young master of the Wanjie Sect was currently staying at the Ruyi Inn, but they dared not show their faces.

Leng Xiao felt equally frustrated. Although he had been practicing his family's Reincarnation Demon-Slaying Spear technique for many years, he still couldn't reach the level of mastery his father possessed.

Before this, he had only practiced using the moves, but had never specifically practiced stopping them. This time, he not only caused internal injuries by temporarily suppressing his anger and forcibly stopping his moves, but Wen Zhao also kept nagging him to fight again every day, making him feel unwell and even more irritable.

Leng Xiao forcefully ignored the loud provocations outside, sat cross-legged on the bed, and slowly closed his eyes.

Feeling the internal energy flowing back and forth through the meridians along a specific route, guided by the family's internal skill, the Cycle of Reincarnation, Leng Xiao sighed silently.

The Samsara Demon-Slaying Spear was incredibly powerful, and he forcibly stopped the attack before he could control its serious consequences. It will take some time for his body to recover to normal.

On the street outside Ruyi Inn, Wen Zhao's shouts continued unabated.

"Young Master Leng, stop being a coward and come out to fight me! If you can't handle it, I'll find you a doctor to take a look at you. Don't die in Ningzhou Prefecture!"

"..."

No, let's wait until later, and under the cover of night, find another inn to stay at...

With a sneer in his heart, he opened his eyes, picked up the tabloid next to him, and began to read it again. When the contents came into view, he couldn't help but frown.

What does it mean when the young master of the Myriad Tribulations Sect coldly unleashes his family's secret technique, the Reincarnation Demon-Slaying Spear, but inadvertently suffers a backlash that causes him to vomit blood and become seriously injured?

Although it's true, why does it look so awkward?

He paid money, after all. Why doesn't Wan Xiaoxiao embellish his defeat in his writing?

Wen Zhao was still shouting and yelling on the street downstairs, while he lay on the bed with his hands covering his ears, feeling like he wanted to die.

This is truly a terrible tragedy...

Just then, there was a knock on the door.

"Who is it?"

"Young Master, it's me."

Hearing a familiar voice from outside the door, Leng Xiao sat up and spoke.

"Come in."

Having received permission, the figure standing respectfully outside the door pushed it open and entered, bowing deeply to the cold smile on the bed.

"Your subordinate, Tian Huang, greets you, young master."

Lei Hutianhuang was one of the twelve envoys of the Wanjie Sect in the past. Even many members of the Wanjie Sect rarely saw him on ordinary days.

"It's just the two of us here, there's no need for this."

Looking at the graying man in front of him, he sneered and walked to the table, picked up the teapot and poured a cup of tea for Tian Huang. Tian Huang took it with both hands, tilted his head back and drank it all in one gulp.

"Why are you here?"

"I saw in the martial arts tabloids that you lost again, young master... Winning or losing doesn't matter, the main thing is that you were seriously injured this time, which is no small matter. Madam is very worried about you, she sent me a message by carrier pigeon, and I also wanted to come to Ningzhou Prefecture to see how you were doing, so here I am..."

Tian Huang practices the Tiger's Run, which combines internal and external cultivation. His body looks very strong, his internal energy is profound, and his voice sounds like a deep tiger's roar.

"My mother? Victory and defeat are common occurrences in war. What's there to make a fuss about? Look at me, I'm fine now, aren't I? When you write back to my mother later, just tell her that I'm alright and that she can rest assured."

"Young Master, you are the Sect Master's only son. Although his temperament is somewhat indifferent compared to ordinary people, he must care about you very much..."

"Him? He'd rather I die out there. He's the sect leader of the Myriad Tribulations Sect, all above others, so powerful and awe-inspiring. He's strict with me, forcing me to practice spear techniques. Now that he sees me seriously injured after a careless move, won't he feel disappointed in me? He couldn't beat my uncle back then, so does he expect me to master the spear and challenge my uncle to a duel?"

"The sect leader is not a competitive person, and his relationship with Doctor Li is not as you think, where there is no clear winner in literature and martial arts... Putting aside their kinship, they are close friends... Doctor Li has many friends in the martial arts world, but the sect leader only has Doctor Li as a confidant. How could he hold a grudge for decades over the difference in their martial arts skills...?"

Tian Huang earnestly tried to persuade Leng Xiao, but the latter clearly wouldn't listen.

"Young Master, is that girl shouting outside the inn your opponent in this duel? I inquired before I came; her family only runs a small security escort agency in the area. For you to be so badly injured because of her, and for her to be so rude to you, in my opinion..."

Tian Huang was interrupted by a cold laugh before he could finish speaking.

"You dare?"

Tian Huang turned his head and looked at the resolute determination that appeared on that tender and beautiful face in an instant. For a moment, he was no different from the young sect leader back then.
