Chapter 111: Transformed into the Slandered Senior Brother (2)
I saw that her ring finger and little finger on her left hand had been cut off by Ning Ning!
Ning Ning sheathed the sword and said, "How dare you slander my brother? This is just a small punishment for you. If I hear something I shouldn't hear again, I will chop off your neck next time!"
"Woo woo, Big Brother, I understand..."
This time Jiang Xin didn't dare to say anything. A group of people watched Ning Ning leave in a swagger.
One of the short guys whispered, "Why did Senior Brother suddenly become so powerful?"
Jiang Xin raised his eyebrows when he heard this, and remembered that it was this man who said "Senior Brother Jiang is the master's son". He immediately became furious and slapped him in the face!
"What are you talking about! Ning Ning is just lucky! I have always practiced martial arts on my own and never relied on my father to suppress him! Even if I am not my father's son, I am not afraid of him!"
"Yes, yes, I was wrong. Senior Brother Jiang, please don't bear grudge against me!"
This person is usually the best at flattering people. He used to get along well with Jiang Xin. Unfortunately, he didn't flatter the horse well today and ended up flattering the horse's leg. Of course, he will be punished by Jiang Xin.
Jiang Xin glared at him and ignored him.
Shi Yanran was about to faint from the pain holding her hand, so he hurriedly protected Shi Yanran and went to find a doctor to bandage her.
Fortunately, although Shi Yanran broke her fingers, her life was definitely safe. After Jiang Xin comforted her, he ran to find Wang Juanniang.
As soon as he entered the room, he complained, "Mom, I don't know what kind of magic Ning Ning has practiced. I, I'm afraid I can't defeat him!"
Wang Juanniang was stunned. "How could you not beat him? Did you have a duel?"
"Well, there was a little quarrel, and Ning Ning suggested to solve it with a duel, and I agreed. But I lost after only ten moves."
"How could he do this? Didn't he promise me, ah, no, didn't he perform poorly and couldn't beat you at all?"
"I don't know why. Maybe it's because he learned from Dad for a few more years. Mom, since Dad is in seclusion, you can give me the Lingxiao Sword Technique to practice."
Wang Juanniang was in a dilemma. "You know, I don't know martial arts. It's just that your father asked me to help keep the secret manual when he was in seclusion. But your father said that the Lingxiao Sword Technique is very profound. You don't have a good foundation, so you can't practice it yet."
"I have followed my father through thick and thin and have worked hard for more than ten years. Isn't my foundation deep enough? I think my father only values Ning Ning and doesn't want me to learn advanced swordsmanship at all!"
"Nonsense! You are your father's own flesh and blood. How could he love Ning Ning more than you?"
"Hmph, that's hard to say! Didn't Dad always say that the position of the head of the sect is not the throne of the emperor, it will only be passed on to the most capable disciple. It would be fine if I lost to Ning Ning in a real fight, but I'm afraid that Dad will be partial and teach Ning Ning the advanced martial arts but not me. I won't accept the loss then!"
"Xin'er——"
"Mom, please help me. You know, my father will come out of seclusion next month and will test our martial arts. He will also ask several martial arts masters to be witnesses. Can you bear to let me lose to Ning Ning?"
As soon as Jiang Xin spoke in an almost coquettish tone, Wang Juanniang could no longer care.
Her son is her life!
Jiang Xin wants the stars, and if we give him the moon, it would be unfair to him.
Wang Juanniang had no choice but to agree. She took out the sealed box from the inner room, opened the complicated lock according to the method Jiang Hua told her, and took out the secret book of "Lingxiao Sword Technique" and gave it to him.
Jiang Hua gave the secret book to Wang Juanniang for safekeeping. Besides because he valued her as his wife, it was also because Wang Juanniang came from an official family, did not know martial arts, and had no interest in martial arts. If he gave it to her, he would not be afraid that she would learn it secretly.
But Jiang Hua forgot that although Wang Juanniang had no interest in martial arts, their precious son was!
Jiang Xin was so happy when he got the slightly yellowed secret book that he couldn't stop smiling.
Wang Juanniang was also happy to see him happy. "Now that you have the secret book, you should practice sword skills well to avoid losing to Ning Ning. Don't always mess around with the girl from the Shi family. Have you forgotten what your father said? Her family used to be bandits. They only came down from the mountains in recent years and established a small sect. They are not worthy of you at all!"
"Mom, Junior Sister is Junior Sister, and her father is her father. They can't be confused. Okay, okay, I get it. We are just senior and junior brothers and sisters. I will remember it."
Jiang Xin knew that Wang Juanniang didn't like Shi Yanran, so he didn't mention Shi Yanran's injury at all, for fear that Wang Juanniang would know that he had a conflict with Ning Ning because of Shi Yanran.
He happily took the secret book and left. Wang Juanniang thought about it and went to find Ning Ning, wanting to cry and complain to her again, asking Ning Ning not to take the lead in anything and not to compete with Jiang Xin.
Unexpectedly, Ning Ning locked the door of his courtyard and told others that he was also in seclusion and not to disturb him.
After all, Wang Juanniang was only the master's wife, not the biological mother. She couldn't force her way into the room of the male disciple. She could only walk away clutching her handkerchief, wishing she could bite her teeth to pieces.
Unexpectedly, Jiang Xinxing hurriedly took the secret book back to practice, but the result disappointed him.
He couldn't comprehend many parts of the secret book, and couldn't use the powerful sword moves. Instead, he was confused and had no idea how to use many of the original sword moves.
He picked up the sword and gestured a few times, "No, this move is clearly evolved from the one in Lingxiao Sword Technique. According to this, the sword should attack the lower body, but my father told me to attack the upper body, and this move, the technique doesn't seem to be used in this way, what should I do?"
Jiang Hua was in seclusion, so he couldn't go to ask for advice, and he didn't dare to go. After all, he had begged his mother for permission to let him sneak a peek at the secret book.
If Jiang Hua knew about this, he would inevitably be punished.
"Could it be that what Dad said is right? I still can't practice this sword manual? But, how can I defeat my senior brother?"
It is common for the sect to compete with each other, but several seniors have been invited to the competition next month. It seems like they are selecting the next leader.
Although the position of the leader is not necessarily passed down from father to son, Jiang Xin, as the son of the leader, would definitely be lying if he said he had no thoughts about the position of the leader.
Originally, he thought that the position of the head sect leader was in his pocket, but after competing with Ning Ning, he found that Ning Ning seemed to be hiding her abilities intentionally. His chances of winning... were really slim.
"Damn Ning Ning, she's so cunning!"
"What should I do? What should I do?"
There had been no progress for more than ten days, and his swordsmanship was even worse than before. Jiang Xin was so angry that he started shouting and smashing things!
"Jiang...Senior Brother Jiang."
Shi Yanran's voice came from the door. Jiang Xin calmed down, rubbed his face, and went to open the door for her.
He was so busy practicing martial arts that he didn't care about Shi Yanran's hand injury which had not healed yet. So he felt a little guilty when facing Shi Yanran.
Fortunately, Shi Yanran was very reasonable and said that her injury was not serious. "It's just two fingers. It doesn't affect my sword grip. Brother, don't worry about it. But I heard that your sword practice doesn't seem to be going well."
