All Heavens: Starting with Little Li Flying Dagger

Chapter 71 The Young Master of the Money Gang Challenges A Fei

The martial arts world was unusually peaceful for a while.

Even the usually high-profile Money Gang has become much more low-key recently.

Rumors say that it's because Shangguan Jin Hong went into seclusion.

As for the reason for his seclusion, many people believe it was to deal with the challenge from the "Amorous Swordsman" Gu Yu.

Because Gu Yu once said that he would take Shangguan Jin Hong's head within three years.

When he said that, not many people believed him; they just thought he was an arrogant brat who didn't know his place.

Even Shangguan Jin Hong didn't bother with it.

In his mind, there were only two people in the world worth taking action against personally—one was the Old Man of Heavenly Secrets, and the other was Li Xunhuan.

Now, the wind has shifted.

Gu Yu proved himself with his strength, and became the most dazzling new star in the martial arts world. No one dared to underestimate him anymore.

Shangguan Jin Hong has indeed gone into seclusion.

As soon as he went into seclusion, Lin Xian'er started acting up again.

She doesn't like a peaceful world, because it's too boring. She needs to find some fun and make her presence felt.

Thus, the news spread rapidly, causing a sensation throughout the martial arts world.

"Have you heard? The Old Man of Heavenly Secrets has rearranged the latest ranking of the top ten martial arts masters. Can you guess who's number one?"

"Could it be him again?"

"No, the Celestial Mystery Elder didn't participate in the ranking. The number one spot belongs to Little Li Flying Dagger..."

"Little Li Flying Dagger? Then Chief Shangguan is still ranked second?"

"That's right, Chief Shangguan is ranked second. Can you guess who's third?"

"Could he be a romantic swordsman?"

"Hehe, you guessed it, it's him!"

According to the latest rankings, starting from fourth place, the order is: Afei, Jing Wuming, Guo Songyang, Lü Fengxian, Lan Xiezi, Hua Baifeng, and Ximen Rou.

"Damn it, it must be Shangguan Jin Hong's doing."

Sun Xiaohong was so angry that her face turned red.

The old man, Tianji, seemed completely unconcerned and chuckled, "My dear granddaughter, Grandpa isn't angry, so why are you?"

"Grandpa, how can you not be angry? It's one thing that your name isn't on this ranking, but how can you say you put it together? Isn't this just making the whole world misunderstand you?"

"Wife, who has offended you this time?"

With a laugh, Gu Yu strode in.

Sun Xiaohong snorted: "You're so smug now, aren't you? The third best martial artist in the world."

Gu Yu couldn't help but exchange a smile with the Old Man of Heavenly Secrets, then patted Sun Xiaohong on the shoulder and said, "This is obviously a conspiracy. If you take it to heart, you'll fall into their trap."

"I know, it must be Shangguan Jin Hong."

"No, he wouldn't do that."

"Who could it be?" Sun Xiaohong asked, puzzled.

"If I'm not mistaken, it should be Lin Xian'er."

……

"Snapped!"

A loud slap echoed through the room.

Then Shangguan Fei's angry voice rang out: "Lin Xian'er, you bitch, do you think I don't know that so-called ranking of the top ten masters was something you secretly spread?"

Despite being slapped, Lin Xian'er showed no sign of anger.

Instead, she slithered into Shangguan Fei's arms like a snake, and said in a resentful tone, "You rascal, I did all this for you."

The soft, fragrant body embraced him, and Shangguan Fei's mind was momentarily thrown into turmoil.

Even his father, Shangguan Jin Hong, couldn't resist Lin Xian'er's temptation, let alone him.

So his heart began to race, and his voice trembled slightly: "For...for me?"

"The Money Gang will be handed over to you sooner or later. If they're not doing it for you, who are they doing it for?"

Lin Xian'er's lips were already close to Shangguan Fei's ear, and she gently blew a breath.

Shangguan Fei trembled, his blood rushed to his head, and his mind seemed to explode. He could no longer control himself.

Soon, an indescribable noise came from inside the room.

After a while, Lin Xian'er's voice came through again: "Think about it, with this ranking, those who newly make the list will face endless challenges. Isn't that exciting?"

Shangguan Fei sighed, "How did you even come up with that?"

"Hehe, are you jealous? Are you upset that I didn't put you on my list?"

"Hmph? You think I care about those empty titles?"

That's what they say, but actually, that's exactly what Shangguan Fei cares about most.

Because he was always resentful of Jing Wuming, always believing that he had already inherited his father's true teachings, so why could Jing Wuming be on the list while he couldn't?

Lin Xian'er could naturally guess Shangguan Fei's thoughts.

She decided to add fuel to the fire.

Therefore, she put on a pitiful appearance and even squeezed out a few tears.

"Do you know? Jing Wuming almost killed me back then. To save my life, I had no choice but to..."

She stopped there, confident that Shangguan Fei would understand.

Sure enough, Shangguan Fei gritted his teeth and said hatefully, "That bastard, I'll kill him one day!"

Lin Xian'er chuckled to herself.

She didn't hate Jing Wuming; she just enjoyed the feeling of two men fighting for her.

In fact, Shangguan Fei's motivation wasn't solely based on Lin Xian'er's words.

The reason he called Jing Wuming a "bastard" was because he had always suspected that Jing Wuming was his father's illegitimate son, and he could not tolerate anyone competing with him for the right of succession.

a few days later.

A horse-drawn carriage was slowly traveling on the official road.

The carriage swayed and rocked, and soft moans could be heard from inside from time to time, which made the driver's blood boil and he wished he could rush into the carriage.

Of course, he only thought about it; he wouldn't dare to do it even if he had a hundred lives.

The commotion finally stopped.

Lin Xian'er, looking rather languid, asked, "Where are you taking me to play?"

As Shangguan Fei put on his clothes, he replied, "I'm going to find someone."

"Looking for someone? Who?"

"The Flying Swordsman!"

Lin Xian'er's expression changed, and she exclaimed in surprise, "You're going to challenge him?"

Shangguan Fei said with an arrogant expression, "That's right! It took me a lot of effort to find out his whereabouts."

Lin Xian'er's eyes darted around, and she chuckled, "I understand. Jing Wuming was defeated by the Flying Swordsman in Liangzhou. If you kill the Flying Swordsman, you can prove to your father that you are stronger than Jing Wuming."

Shangguan Fei remained silent, which was taken as tacit agreement.

The reason he brought Lin Xian'er along was to prove his strength in front of her.

This is a common problem among many men, just like a peacock spreading its tail feathers.

Afei was indeed nearby. After leaving Liangzhou, he took Tuotuo with him into the pass and traveled around.

Firstly, to enjoy undisturbed time together as a couple; secondly, to enrich their experiences and elevate their state of mind.

Unexpectedly, Shangguan Fei came to their door.

"So you're the Flying Swordsman?"

"That's right!"

"Very well, I challenge you!"

"Who are you?"

"Shangguan Fei!"

Afei was somewhat surprised: "Shangguan Jin Hong's son?"

"That's right!"

"Alright, I accept your challenge!"

Afei responded and then walked to Tuotuo's side, whispering, "Wait for me here, I'll be right back."

Tuotuo shook his head: "No, I'll go with you."

Lin Xian'er couldn't help but take a closer look at Tuotuo a few times, and for some reason, she felt a little uncomfortable.

Because Afei only glanced at her indifferently, as if she were just an ordinary passerby, not worth his second look.

But in front of Tuotuo, he was so gentle and full of love.

In what way is this woman inferior to me?
