Chapter 175. It Isn't That I Don't Believe You
"Xu Yuan!!"
Jiang Yu'an's voice was nearly grinding through clenched teeth. A dangerous aura shone from her eyes as she said coldly, "I will make you regret all of this. Today, no one can—"
At that mont, her pupils suddenly contracted. She saw only a blur flash past as Xu Yuan's body lunged forward again, his fists striking toward her like a rainstorm.
"Aaah—!"
Jiang Yu'an let out a cry, like a maddened lioness. Recklessly circulating her vital essence, she swung both arms and rapidly t Xu Yuan head-on.
Boom! Boom! Boom!
Their fists and palms collided with explosive force, each impact resounding like thunder. Violent gusts of force burst outward, as though two savage beasts were charging at one another. The entire courtyard was reduced to a complete wreck.
Several people outside the courtyard showed startled expressions and turned to look.
What... was happening?
Had Fishery Master Jiang really started fighting that newly arrived disciple?
"Miss Xiao Lan, what is going on?"
Jia Gui, having rushed over after hearing the commotion, was currently wearing a face full of shock.
When Xu Yuan had first arrived, he had specifically warned him to avoid getting into conflict with the fishery master if possible.
And yet the mont he left, they started fighting?
"I-I don't know."
The maidservant Xiao Lan was equally bewildered.
But without Fishery Master Jiang summoning her, she did not dare rush inside to look.
Inside the courtyard, the clash between the two of them continued for dozens of exchanges in the blink of an eye.
Jiang Yu'an was forced backward again and again, yet not only did she show no fear, she instead shouted angrily,
"Enough! Xu Yuan, this ends here!"
Smack!
Xu Yuan answered her with another palm strike. It was as if he knew neither exhaustion nor pain, forcing her to block once again.
With a boom, she was blasted backward through the air.
Jiang Yu'an dove downward and forcibly steadied herself.
But the instant she stabilized, Xu Yuan was already charging at her again, carrying a fierce and terrifying power as he slamd toward her petite body like a giant beast.
Jiang Yu'an's expression shifted in both shock and fury. She felt that the more Xu Yuan fought, the stronger he beca, his attacks growing sharper and fiercer, forcing her to counter at high speed yet again.
But this ti, sothing felt extrely strange. With a boom, her body trembled, and a trace of sluggishness appeared in the circulation of her blood and qi. She suddenly felt weak, as though her strength were slipping away.
Yet before she could react, Xu Yuan had already seized her by the hair and yanked downward with brutal force. Then his knee, driven by a powerful rush of air, smashed violently into her forehead on the spot.
Bang!
Another muffled impact rang out, leaving Jiang Yu'an dizzy and disoriented. Her mind roared and buzzed violently.
The scene before her eyes began to whiten, dissolving into a blur of confusion and disorder.
Then Xu Yuan gave her a savage fling, and Jiang Yu'an's body flew sideways again like a scarecrow, slamming into the wall behind her with a crack. The entire wall shook violently, nearly collapsing.
"Jiang Yu'an, what kind of genius do you even think you are?"
Only then did Xu Yuan speak, his tone cold, like icy spikes stabbing straight into the heart.
"You claim to be a fair and righteous person and to uphold the sect rules strictly, yet you attacked , a newly admitted disciple, all for the sake of your so-called justice?"
"But have you ever thought about what would have happened to if I had been weaker than Liu Yang and the others?"
"And even putting that aside, there is no shortage of disciples in the sect who run into the sa kind of situation. Have I ever seen you stand up for any of them? To put it bluntly, you're just soone who bullies the weak and fears the strong—a hypocrite, nothing more!"
Xu Yuan cursed her rcilessly.
This was truly outrageous.
Liu Yang and the others had tried to rob him. They were weaker and got injured by him. Fine.
Lin Zhiyuan had co asking for a beating. Fine.
But now even this fishery master, all the way out here, was coming to seek justice for them?
From what position? From what angle did she think she had the right to speak?
This had gone too far!
Damn it!
Overwhelming humiliation surged into Jiang Yu'an's heart, making her tremble with rage and grievance. She spat out another mouthful of blood, and her spirit finally reached its limit. Right there on the spot, she fainted.
"Pathetic."
Xu Yuan's face remained cold as he turned and left.
People like this had simply never been taught how harsh the real world could be. They were self-righteous and assud the whole world revolved around them.
Still, this trip had not been wasted.
He had picked up a secret manual for free, and it was of no low grade either!
"H-Hello, inside there..."
Xiao Lan's voice sounded uneasy as she quickly ca over and asked tentatively.
"It's nothing. Fishery Master Jiang wasn't feeling well, so she fell asleep for the ti being. Go find a doctor right away," Xu Yuan replied flatly.
"Fell asleep?"
Xiao Lan's face went blank. Inside, she thought, Who are you fooling?
With all that terrifying noise just now, and you're telling she fell asleep?
As soon as Xu Yuan stepped out of the small courtyard, Jia Gui hurried up to him and asked in disbelief, "Y-You... you beat Fishery Master Jiang?"
Xu Yuan spread his hands. "Fishery Master Jiang said she wanted to test my strength."
Jia Gui imdiately sucked in a cold breath.
In the past, not a single person who had crossed paths with Fishery Master Jiang had walked away in one piece. Judging from this, Xu Yuan had actually won?
At that thought, he could not help saying in shock, "Xu Yuan, it isn't that I don't believe you, it's just..."
Xu Yuan looked at him and said flatly, "What? Do you want to go back in there and demonstrate a few more moves?"
Jia Gui opened his mouth, then clicked his tongue.
"Forget it, forget it. I suppose you must have broken through into the Organ Nourishnt realm already. But now that you've offended the fishery master, you probably won't be able to stay here much longer."
Xu Yuan took it rather lightly. If he could not stay here, then at worst he would simply find another place.
As for whether he would offend Elder Jiang?
He had already broken through into the Organ Nourishnt realm, so he was now qualified to go to Shangyang Qingyu's cave abode.
Besides, judging by how that outer sect Elder Ma had treated Shangyang Qingyu before, this likely would not be too troubleso of a matter.
Jia Gui shook his head, not feeling much about it either.
After all, Xu Yuan had only just arrived here. Whether he stayed or not made little difference.
Still, young people would eventually pay the price for their actions.
"Why are you still standing there?"
At that mont, a young man wearing a silver-edged front-opening robe walked over.
Judging by his face, his features were cramped together, with two short inverted brows that gave him a sowhat sly and ratlike appearance. In fact, he looked rather similar to Jia Gui standing before him.
"That's my useless son," Jia Gui said with a smile when he noticed Xu Yuan's expression.
The young man walked over and sized Xu Yuan up. Seeing that his clothing was unremarkable, a trace of disdain flashed through his eyes. Then he turned to Jia Gui with displeasure and said,
"What are you dawdling around for? rchants have arrived at the docks, and I'm so busy my legs are about to break."
"Ah, yes, yes, I'll co over right away."
Jia Gui seed especially fond of this son. He did not mind the boy's bossy attitude at all. After apologetically cupping his hands toward Xu Yuan, he followed him away.
Even from a distance, however, so of their arguing could still be heard.
"Oh right, tomorrow I'm going to the restaurant with Elder Chen's grandson and the others. Give a hundred taels of silver later."
"What? Another hundred tales? Didn't I just give you a hundred not long ago?"
"What do you know? This is how people build connections. How can you be stingy about money in the early stages? So petty! Once I get into this circle, what won't I have..."
Watching the two of them leave, Xu Yuan shook his head. Just as he was about to depart, he suddenly saw the maidservant Xiao Lan co out and say softly to him,
"The fishery master is awake. She asks that you go in again."
A look of surprise imdiately appeared on Xu Yuan's face.
This woman's mind might not be quite right, but her recovery ability truly was remarkable.
