Capítulo 1519: Chapter 1718: The Arrival of Ye Yiyun!
Even the most good-tempered person would get angry if a stranger suddenly started grabbing and hugging them on the street.
And all Hao Jian did was just to strike up a conversation with the Moon.
At this mont, the Moon was already infuriated. Upon looking around, she noticed that many Ancient Martial Artists had co to participate in the martial arts tournant, naturally using a variety of weapons. Her eyes fixed on one person carrying a sword, and she rushed over to seize the sword.
Hao Jian was startled; the sword was the Moon’s weapon of choice. If she wielded the sword, re fists and feet could not withstand it.
So, Hao Jian scanned the surroundings and pulled out a sword from soone watching by the roadside.
“Perverted thief! You forced
into this!” the Moon exclaid.
With that, the Moon thrust her sword towards Hao Jian.
Hao Jian knew the Moon’s swordsmanship. It appeared soft but was actually powerful, with unpredictable changes. Often, those who claid to be master swordsn would easily fall to the Moon’s sword.
Having spent years together with the Moon in the past, Hao Jian had seen many self-proclaid swordmasters defeated by her.
Therefore, Hao Jian dared not be complacent and imdiately raised his sword to retreat.
It was easy for those who did not understand the Moon to be defeated by her swiftly, but Hao Jian, having been with her for so long, was thoroughly familiar with her habits. Although the Moon’s moves were untraceable, Hao Jian managed to counter them one by one.
Upward slash! Downward stab! Left thrust! Right chop!
Hao Jian countered each move, and the Moon’s face turned bright red. She didn’t understand how this person in front of her knew her moves so well.
Suddenly, with an unexpected thrust, the Moon’s sword sliced past Hao Jian’s shoulder. The sword not only tore through his clothes but also pierced his flesh.
With just a light stab, the sword slashed open his skin, causing blood to flow from Hao Jian’s left shoulder, staining part of his garnt red.
Hao Jian had countless opportunities to attack the Moon, but he chose only to defend, as he wouldn’t strike back at the Moon.
Perhaps the Moon was amnesic, but her true nature remained. Seeing Hao Jian’s shoulder bleeding from her stab caused her to feel a pang of guilt.
The Moon said, “Perverted thief, if you still don’t leave, believe it or not, I’ll take your life!”
Hao Jian chuckled, not even glancing at the wound on his shoulder, as such minor injuries didn’t faze him.
“I’m not a perverted thief; I’m Hao Jian!” Hao Jian said.
The Moon’s expression was unpleasant. “I don’t know any Hao Jian, though I am called the Moon!”
She added, “If you keep pestering , I won’t hold back. You better leave quickly!”
Hao Jian replied, “I won’t leave. Since you’ve forgotten , I’ll stay until you rember. I’m Hao Jian; you used to love calling
Big Hao Jian.”
With that, Hao Jian recalled past mories.
“Big Hao Jian, do you think this looks good on ? If it does, which is better, the white or the blue?”
“Big Hao Jian, you promised
sothing. You won’t go back on your word, right? A man of noble character keeps his word. Since you promised to give
a gift for my birthday, you absolutely mustn’t break your promise, or I won’t speak to you!”
“Big Hao Jian, do you think the clouds in the sky are pretty? If I wanted, could you get them for ? I’d like to sleep on a cloud; it looks so comfortable and warm!”
“Big Hao Jian! Big Hao Jian! Big Hao Jian!”
Those old mories suddenly resurfaced, dragging Hao Jian into deep thought.
If the Moon had indeed lost her mory and forgotten him, he was determined to help her regain her mory.
“Moon, do you rember these things?” Hao Jian asked.
At this mont, the Moon’s face showed a hint of doubt, as if recalling sothing, but it seed she couldn’t rember anything. She felt Hao Jian was lying to her.
There were no such mories; the person before her was just a liar, a deceitful cheat.
“Stubborn!” the Moon declared.
Then, she raised her longsword and thrust it towards Hao Jian. Since things had co to this, Hao Jian was willing to do anything to help the Moon regain her mory.
If they had to fight, so be it, until she rembered.
With this thought, Hao Jian raised his sword to et her, this ti not just defending but also attacking, to trigger the Moon’s mory.
“Clang!”
The two longswords clashed together, emitting a sharp sound.
Hao Jian drew back slightly, then pressed down, pinning Moon’s sword under his own. Moon’s face showed strain; no matter how strong a woman she was, she couldn’t match Hao Jian’s strength, so her sword was firmly held down by him, unable to be withdrawn.
Using the principle of leveraging the weaker to overco the stronger, turning rigidity into flexibility, Moon suddenly pulled her sword out from under Hao Jian’s pressure, then swiftly swung it towards him.
This was Moon’s signature move. Generally, after drawing her sword, one would need to return it, or else the hand would fall into a dead angle where no strength could be exerted. But in Moon’s hands, there was no need to return the sword; she could draw and imdiately flick it, catching people off guard with no ti to react. Many had fallen to this move of Moon’s.
But who was Hao Jian? Moon had specifically explained the details of this move to him before. While others might be caught by surprise, Hao Jian was more than familiar with it.
Seeing Moon’s hand gestures change, he imdiately knew she was about to use this move, so he instantly adopted a blocking posture.
A “ding!” sounded as Hao Jian successfully blocked it.
Moon withdrew her sword, finally showing doubt on her face. Could it be that this person really knew her? If he didn’t, how could he know to block this move?
She was confident that very few could counter this move because it was extrely fast, and few could manage it. Most couldn’t even react, let alone block, so only soone who knew the move’s details and had exceptionally agile movents could respond quickly.
But she hadn’t told anyone else about this move, not even her closest acquaintances.
Could it be that this person really knew her?
Moon’s heart filled with countless threads of doubt.
At this mont, Hao Jian noticed Moon’s change and promptly said, “Moon, think carefully. I am Hao Jian, the Hao Jian!”
At that mont, Moon felt as if countless thoughts erged in her mind, but these thoughts were intangible and elusive, their nature unknown. They just appeared suddenly and disappeared without a trace.
The longsword in her hand fell to the ground as Moon looked at Hao Jian with confusion. If this person didn’t know her, how did he know how to counter her move? If he truly knew her, why couldn’t she rember anything?
Yet why did she feel stirred when he said he was Hao Jian, the Hao Jian?
Countless “why’s” surged in Moon’s mind.
The crowd, gathering around in increasing numbers, were here rely to attend the Ancient Martial Arts Competition, with few having officially entered the contest. Thus, as more curious onlookers ca to watch the spectacle, the crowd grew larger.
The crowd was growing larger.
At this mont, the organizers, the elders of the Heavenly Machine Pavilion, having heard about the situation, dispatched people to maintain order.
Several elders of the Heavenly Machine Pavilion quickly approached, and seeing their arrival, the crowd imdiately made way.
Hao Jian appeared unfazed by them in the slightest.
Behind the elders followed a young man who quickly hugged Moon from behind upon seeing her, asking, “Moon, are you okay?”
Moon replied, “I’m fine!”
She was now lost in endless thoughts, unworried about what was happening around her.
After understanding the situation, several elders of the Heavenly Machine Pavilion approached Hao Jian and said, “Young friend, this competition is organized by the Heavenly Machine Pavilion. We hope you won’t cause any more disturbances, or if the Pavilion holds you accountable, I’m afraid…!”
This was a threat to Hao Jian to behave, implying that the Pavilion’s strength was above his, though the words were spoken more pleasantly, but anyone could understand the aning.
Hao Jian smiled.
At this mont, the young man holding Moon walked up to Hao Jian and threatened him, saying, “Kid, don’t let
see you again, or you’ll be asking for trouble.”
Hao Jian could see that this person liked Moon; otherwise, he wouldn’t be so concerned about her. But it wasn’t the kind of liking from the heart; it was more about her appearance.
Simply put, he just wanted to possess Moon.
So when he spoke to Hao Jian this way, it was rely to show off.
On another occasion, Hao Jian would have acted, but now all his thoughts were focused on Moon, pondering why she had beco as she was.
The elders were sensible people, after threatening Hao Jian briefly, they ordered the crowd to disperse, said a few words, and left.
With so many attendees at the Ancient Martial Arts Competition, occasional disruptions were inevitable, so they routinely departed.
But the young man still kept his gaze fixed on Hao Jian.
So people, still watching the drama unfold, quietly whispered, “That’s Ye Yiyun!”
“Ah, he’s Ye Yiyun, then this guy is in for it!”
“I think so, just wait and see, he’s definitely going to get a severe beating. A genius isn’t just anyone; if I were Ye Yiyun, I wouldn’t be able to hold back!”
To all this, Hao Jian remained indifferent.
