Chapter 1032: Chapter 162: A Blade and a Sword, a Life of Intent; Bearing a Wild Reputation for 15 Years (Part 1)
“Furthermore, have you not realized? Just with today’s events, Li Danxun has actually already started ‘nibbling away’ at the reputation of the Huangfu Family. Before they can react, he already has sufficient room to maneuver…”
“We, this ti, have suffered a crushing defeat…”
‘Shadow’ couldn’t help but clench his fists.
At that mont, Li Danxun suddenly raised his hand, as if he were transforming into a phoenix. With his prestige now nearly unparalleled, the already noisy martial arts field instantly quieted down. Everyone watched as the young swordsman, the inevitable protagonist of the day, adjusted his posture, sheathed his sword, and looked in the direction of the Huangfu Family.
Just as everyone was curious about what he planned to do, Li Danxun suddenly clasped his fist, bowed slightly, and said in a clear voice, “With all you fellow heroes present, today I, Li, have a matter difficult to speak of. I wish to share it with you, and I implore everyone to bear witness!”
Naturally, the crowd agreed, saying:
“Whatever the matter is, Hero Li can say it freely!”
Li Danxun smiled slightly, his eyes directed at the thirteenth floor pavilion. ‘Phoenix’ suddenly stood up, anger clouding the face that was usually carefree and uninhibited, and said in a low voice:
“Bad, this person plans to…”
Li Danxun had already begun speaking, in a clear voice:
“I am twenty-three years old and have not been married. A few days ago, I was astounded by a celestial beauty beside Miss Huangfu, and after inquiries, I learned her na is Li Yinxiang. Miss Li, I, humbly offer my consecutive victories today.”
“I only hope to win your favor, and for the future to co.”
These words were spoken with great sincerity, dressed in white as snow, with a handso visage that captivated countless young maidens. Moreover, this was under everyone’s watchful eyes, offering his glory as compensation.
Unnoticed as to when or who started it, everyone began urging the young lady to co out quickly and accept the admiration of such a young hero. The Jianghu patrons knocked on their chests with the hilts of their swords, producing a solemn and high-pitched sound.
‘Phoenix’ was almost raging, saying: “Damn it! If not for Lord Sima Cuo being absent, how could he have such audacity, intending to leverage the crowd’s force? He’s planning to step over the Huangfu Family to climb the ranks of the Great Qin’s Western Region Protectorate, army superintendent, and Great General…”
“This scoundrel, his true motive, turns out to be infiltrating the officialdom?!”
At this, his heart grew more anxious, wanting to shout to stop, but the cheers of thousands had already gathered like torrents, impossible for the two of them to obstruct.
They could only watch helplessly as the niece of Great Qin’s Chief Governor Sima Cuo walked under the public gaze to the thirteenth floor pavilion, donned in snow-white attire, a white fur cape draped over her shoulders, like a piece of falling snow.
Upon seeing the main subject erge, the crowd gradually quietened down.
Li Yinxiang bowed to Li Danxun with a graceful gesture and said crisply:
“Thank you, Young Hero Li, for your kindness.”
“However, Yinxiang is already betrothed. By the orders of my parents and the words of the matchmaker, as a child, I cannot defy them. I hope the young hero will forgive .”
Li Danxun’s expression faltered slightly but then laughed heartily and said:
“Since one is born human, how can one be bound by a re marriage contract, outdated customs, and conventions? I, Li, with sincere intentions, only wish for the opportunity to compete with the young talent engaged to the lady!”
Among the many, although so remained silent as observers, many cheered repeatedly. That fervor seed almost coercive, making ‘Phoenix’, trapped on one side by the crowd, furiously wanting to take action.
Li Yinxiang, although composed, was also youthful, with slight turmoil visible in her eyes.
Just as the crowd’s shouts surged like waves.
Suddenly another figure began to slowly descend, conspicuous in everyone’s eyes. Li Yinxiang was also slightly stunned, almost uttering the words ‘Hero’, and Li Danxun, noticing her change in expression, turned his head and saw soone dressed in black, carrying a saber. His thoughts shifted, and he laughed aloud:
“Fufeng Sabre, at this mont you co down, what business do you have?”
“Did you agree to a duel with ? Although a bit late, it matters not. I’ve heard you once startled Miss Li, today add the word ‘Mad’ as a token of intent.”
Wang Anfeng’s expression was indifferent, seemingly disinterested as he raised his head to gaze at Li Yinxiang.
This young woman had helped him greatly; going forward, he would relinquish the identity of Blade Madman, and they would no longer et. However, before that, he did not mind settling a matter while pursuing his purpose, clearing debts, as he raised his gaze and calmly said:
“Do you dislike this?”
Li Yinxiang stared montarily, seeming puzzled.
Blade Madman lifted his head, his eyes cold as ice, and asked again:
“I ask, do you like this kind of thing?”
“Being coerced by the grand sche, forced to do things you dislike.”
Li Yinxiang’s eyes showed slight ripples. She glanced at those around who either wished to repay their favor today or wanted to associate with Li Danxun, the rising star in the Jianghu, pursed her lips, and shook her head heavily, saying:
“I do not like it!”
Blade Madman withdrew his gaze, saying blandly:
“Good.”
