Chapter 180 covered the worst class
Chapter 180 covered the worst class
These words were like a wake-up call. Upon hearing Shan Tianxie's name, Yunluo slowly came back to her senses.
Dan Tianxie strolled over, looking at Yun Luo calmly, but did not utter a sound.
"Master...Master...I was careless."
After Yunluo finished speaking timidly, she lowered her head in embarrassment.
Looking back on my previous boastful words, they now seem so ridiculous.
"It's nothing, just a little bit of hardship."
Dan Tianxie smiled and then gave instructions to Xie Budong, who was standing to the side.
"Go and prepare a basin of clean water for the princess to wash her face,"
"Yes, Your Excellency!"
Xie Budong quickly agreed, but then turned to look at a constable beside him and gave the same order.
"What are you still standing there for? Didn't you hear what Young Master Shan said?"
"Why aren't you going to fetch a basin of clean water for the princess to wash her face?"
"You are truly the worst class I, Xie Budong, have ever taught!"
The constable next to him looked on with a puzzled expression. "It wasn't you, Young Master Shan! He was calling for you!"
It's true that a higher-ranking official can have absolute power over you!
Noticing Xie Budong's unfriendly expression, the constable dared not say anything more and hurriedly went to prepare clean water.
"What should we do with this person?"
Cao Shaoqin pointed to Chang Wei, who had just been slapped away, and asked Shan Tianxie and the other man.
Of course, the most important thing is to see Princess Yunluo's attitude. If the princess were to say the word "kill," he could come up with nine ways to kill Chang Wei in an instant.
Yunluo looked up at Shan Tianxie and said, "Master, you should make the decision."
Dan Tianxie nodded slightly, pondered for a moment, and then spoke.
"This guy's martial arts skills are pretty good. He's been in the martial arts world for so long, he's seen all sorts of underhanded tricks."
"Keep it; consider it practice for Yunluo later."
"Well, that's fine." Cao Shaoqin nodded, then said to Xie Budong, "Then I'll have to trouble Officer Xie."
"What are you saying, sir..." Xie Budong said with a smile. "You two can rest assured that this person is in my care."
After saying that, he turned around and ordered his men to take Chang Wei, who was standing to the side like a dead dog, away.
The other eleven prisoners were also imprisoned.
After all, given Princess Yunluo's condition today, she's no longer able to continue the actual combat. We need to have that much insight.
.........
A moment later, a constable came running over with a basin of water.
After Princess Yunluo finished washing up, Shan Tianxie and the other two left the Six Doors and headed towards the palace.
Throughout the journey, Princess Yunluo was not in a very high mood and looked dejected.
After all, he had previously thought that he had practiced martial arts for so long and studied under so many famous masters,
He was considered a minor expert in the martial arts world, but in the end, he couldn't even defeat a prisoner.
The psychological gap was huge at the time, and it will take some time to accept reality.
However, he couldn't help but feel secretly fortunate that he hadn't gone out to explore the world with Guo Furong back then.
Otherwise, she might have been kidnapped by a bandit gang as soon as she entered the martial arts world and become their wife.
Or perhaps you were swindled out of all your money by a shady business and then had to work to pay off your debts.
Just thinking about that kind of life makes me feel like there's no point in living.
Just as Princess Yunluo was lost in thought, Shan Tianxie suddenly spoke up, "Yunluo."
"Yes, Master, I'm here."
Yunluo responded and turned to look at Shan Tianxie, feeling uneasy, wondering if her master was going to criticize her.
Dan Tianxie stopped and looked at Yun Luo with interest, then asked with a smile, "Where do you think you lost this time?"
"Um...."
Upon hearing this, Yunluo felt a mix of emotions. It was indeed the problem.
After thinking for a long time, he lowered his head and said in a dejected voice,
"My disciple lost because he lacked practical experience and his ability to adapt to changing circumstances was even worse."
Despite possessing martial arts skills far superior to his opponent's and holding a clear advantage, he was thrown off balance by a single, subtle trick from his opponent!
"Yes, that's true, but not entirely true."
Dan Tian said with a wicked smile.
Upon hearing this, Yunluo's eyes lit up. Could it be that there was something she hadn't mentioned earlier?
So she asked with a curious look, "Please, Master, don't hesitate to give me your guidance!"
"It's human nature..."
Dan Tianxie wore a mysterious smile.
Even Cao Shaoqin, who was standing to the side, couldn't help but glance at him; his heart skipped a beat.
Looking at the smile on Shan Tianxie's lips, I had a feeling that this kid wasn't holding back any good words!
"Human hearts..."
Princess Yunluo muttered a few words to herself, her small eyes still filled with great doubt.
Seeing this, Shan Tianxie couldn't help but smirk, "Human hearts are treacherous. You lost because you weren't despicable enough!"
Upon hearing this, both Princess Yunluo and Cao Shaoqin were stunned.
No, Master, you're not wrong, are you?
Wait, buddy, what are you teaching?!
Two completely different voices appeared in the minds of the two people.
"This disciple is foolish; losing is losing, but this despicable act is..."
"Of course, your master wouldn't speak without reason. Think about it, your opponent clearly has external martial arts skills, but why didn't you think of asking your master or Eunuch Cao for a sharp weapon?"
Upon hearing this, Yunluo's mind exploded as if a door to a new world had been opened.
Will this work?
Adhering to the principle of asking questions when in doubt, Yunluo asked in a low voice, "Master, isn't this too despicable...?"
"Look at this." Shan Tianxie looked disappointed in him, then turned to face the sky at a 45-degree angle, with the expression of a lonely master.
"In the martial arts world, and even the world at large, people only remember who won and who lost."
They won't care what form the victory takes.
What does it matter if it's despicable? If it means winning, shamelessness is acceptable!
Hearing this, Cao Shaoqin couldn't help but nod in agreement.
Young Master Shan's words, though crude, are true. Such are the underlying rules of the martial arts world: naked, direct, and bloody!
His words were too rough! He didn't even know how to be more tactful with the princess.
"Despicable... As long as I win..."
Yunluo felt completely dizzy. No one had ever told her anything like what Shan Tianxie was saying.
She was always surrounded by concepts like benevolence, righteousness, propriety, wisdom, and trustworthiness, as well as rules, principles, and boundaries.
Even when she could vaguely see the palace walls, these thoughts were still lingering in her mind.
Just as Shan Tianxie was about to take his leave, he saw that Princess Yunluo was still in a dazed state.
"Yunluo, is there something else you've forgotten?"
"Ah, what is it, Master?"
Yunluo asked with a look of surprise.
"The stakes in this bet are your lost mermaid pearl!"
