"No one has done sothing so disgusting since the establishnt of this dynasty. Explain yourself properly, or else I'll punish you."
I could sense his jealousy, hate and desire to take out his anger on in the na of carrying out his official duty from his tone. I’ve got proof. He never took his eyes off my junior shiyi as he spoke to . Besides him, the two inspectors on the side both wore the sa expression…
Fuck you and your “no sa surna marriage”! The current emperor has eight wives, two of them share the sa surna, Li, with him. Why don’t you go punish him!?
I can't believe being a loud-mouth would have such repercussions.
We share the sa na because I was adopted, we’re not blood related. But there is the issue of seniority…
Deciding that that was enough, she stepped in to explain: “Sir, he’s joking. We’re relatives, I’m his… gugu*." I’m not sure what she was thinking, but she looked a bit uncomfortable after saying that.
Gugu? Guo'er is here!**
Yeah right.
“Relatives! Ah, nephew, I an, Fei Zhen, do your best, don’t let down.”
After he heard that I was her nephew and realised I wasn’t a threat, he smiled gently and brightly at . I got goose bumps when he called my na.
“Alright, the first round of the examination is martial arts. Relax, and show us your best moves. Miss, please be careful not to let yourself get hurt.”
Hey, hey, hey! I heard you were looking for skilled martial artists.
Now you’re worried about her getting a little hurt?
"You two can start once you're ready."
She pulled a cheeky face at as if she were trying to say: “Are you going to go easy on ?”
Yes. Yes, I will! I would gladly die for you even!
We stood apart on two sides and put our guard up using our sect's style. She lives up to her title as the most senior female mber of our sect. Her pose is both dignified and well-thought. None of my fellow disciples could compare.
She was trained by the grandmaster. She’s not like ; she’s one of those born with martial talent people. Although there’s an age gap, based on what I’ve seen, she is pretty much on shifu’s level. I’ll suffer if I’m not careful. But since we’re from the sa sect, I know her moves like the back of my hand, so I shouldn’t be at too much of a disadvantage even if I go easy on her.
She flipped her wrist over and slowly struck with her palm. That’s our sect’s Xing Luo Palm.
Ahem, I got a little too excited there…, I was taught to honour my teachers and respect their teachings.
I began by defending with Tai Chi. It’s not that I want to use the martial arts of other sects and schools, but that I can only use the martial arts of other sects and schools! Shifu only threw secret manuals from other sects and schools at when I started training. He never taught our sect's techniques.
Even ’til today, I’m only able to recognise the techniques of our sect at best.
After I left the mountain, I went to great lengths to convince people that I was a disciple of Mount Daluo, but nobody would believe , because I don’t even know their basics…
She saw defend and giggled, before changing her move quickly, and unleashed thirteen palm strikes at varying speeds and intensities.
The examiners exclaid: “Whoa~”; I could virtually see their perverted smiles and stares as junior shi yi’s clothes fluttered as she moved…
I was so enraged, I swear I was ready to murder them! Those son of a guns don’t understand the beauty behind her palm strikes. They were just ogling at her coveted beauty.
My anger ca from deep down in my heart. I absorbed the power of each of her strikes with my hands using my Tai Chi skills, and directed the blows behind , splashing those perverts with tornado-like winds, until they started crying from the wind hurting their eyes.
Hahahahaha, well deserved.
Shiyi looked at strangely, and awkwardly asked: “What are you doing? If they can’t see properly, how are we supposed to pass?”ike I care! No one is allowed to steal looks at you.
After that, we exchanged thirty moves each, thirty of her Xing Luo Palms, thirty of my Tai Chi techniques. The three examiners still couldn’t open their eyes after we were done. When they finally recovered, they looked at each other awkwardly, because they didn’t see our performance, the group next to ours or the one next to that group's either.
One examiner for our group cleared their throats, spoke to his two colleagues and said to us: “The two of you weren’t bad, But, uhh… You didn't manage to et our expectations this ti around.”
Holy sh*t, I just witnessed Liu Shan n's corruption here first hand!
Tell , just what the hell did you see?!
Suddenly, a servant ca rushing over and whispered to the examiner. The examiner's facial expression changed drastically after he heard it. Then he stood up and said: “I have sothing to attend to, please wait a mont.” And then he left in a hurry.
Everybody present started looking at each other, wondering what had happened.
I tried to use Yi Jin Jing to enhance my listening and sight to try and hear what was happening at the back, but since it was too far away, I could only hear so faint sounds.
It sounded like soone was cussing at soone, so slapping sounds, and painful cries like soone was getting skewered.
What were they doing back there? Interrogating a criminal?
I got my answer a few seconds later.
The examiner ca back miserably with his hands on his face as he tried to cover the big hand marks on his face, and said to us: “You six have passed the first round of the examination, please head over to the venue for the second round and await further instructions.”
Justice has been served!
But I want to know who beat him up so badly.
