Chapter 127: I am Curious About Henan’s Sage (1)
It was a state of affairs the place everybody was simply one another.
It was burdensome to be the primary to make use of the duel rights as a result of all eyes had been on them. The strengths of the opposite successors had been nonetheless unknown, and no rankings had been set.
Even Moyong Jin was simply obtrusive at Namgung Shin.
Jegal Seons motion was so abrupt it was virtually deviant, particularly for the reason that opponent was Henans Sage Baek Yi-gang, who had been receiving loads of consideration.
Did we have now such a destiny it appears youre considering it.
Having fun with the pouring consideration, Jegal Seon requested, Truly, if we had been to nitpick, wouldnt Younger Grasp Baek Yi-gangs participation be vulnerable to criticism from the folks of Jianghu?
Criticism?
Peng Mu-ah muttered as if it was ridiculous.
Jegal Seon spoke as if he had been ready for this, Sure. Particularly for the reason that Alliance has set a number of restrictions to stop monopolization by the foremost sects.
Half of the thirty slots for getting into the 5 Parts Tomb had already been taken by the successors who participated within the Dragon-Phoenix Convention and the Seven Stars Convention.
The remaining 15 had been to be chosen from outdoors the Alliance, but when left unchecked, extra successors from the foremost sects would absolutely be a part of.
Subsequently, the Murim Alliance set numerous restrictions.
One should not be over twenty-four years outdated, should not have participated within the earlier Dragon-Phoenix Convention or Seven Stars Convention, and based mostly on yesterdays speech, should register inside a day. There was additionally a rule that not more than three folks from a single sect or clan may take part.
So that you met that situation.
Certainly, Yi-gang met all of the circumstances.
He belonged to each the Azure Forest and Baek Noble Clan, however he glad the opposite circumstances.
The circumstances could also be met, however there are nonetheless perceptions to think about. It wont look good.
Are you nitpicking?
It was nitpicking certainly. Other than Yi-gang, there have been different comparable candidates.
One among Jegal Seons brothers additionally tried to use however was disqualified because of the age situation.
Neglect it.
Yi-gang stopped Peng Mu-ah, who was about to retort.
Why hassle speaking about justifications? Simply say what you wish to say.
There should be a cause why Jegal Seon was talking nonsense. Yi-gang noticed no have to get entangled in it.
He answered with a smirk, What would you ask of Henans Sage, who has impressed the Grand Coordinator? Clearly, its a battle of wits.
A battle of wits?
Or ought to I say, a numbers recreation?
The brains of the Jegal Clan had been well-known.
Till Heavens Secret Scholar grew to become the strategist, the Jegal Clan had traditionally taken the position of the Murim Alliances strategist.
Its not terribly tough. Similar to a recreation involving hypothetical reasoning and deductive inference
Nevertheless, Yi-gang interrupted Jegal Seons phrases, Why hassle with all that?
What?
Not a martial arts duel however a battle of wits?
Jegal Seon appeared stunned on the sudden query.
Effectively, Younger Grasp, you had been born with meridian blockage illness, werent you.
Thats proper.
One thing like a martial arts duel could be impractical, wouldnt it.
He spoke in a roundabout means, however his which means was clear.
Jegal Seon spoke as if troubled, There could be a major hole in martial arts expertise.
Pfft.
The one who spit out his tea was none apart from Jun Myung of the Azure Forest.
He glanced round and wiped his mouth.
It wasnt simply Jun Myung. Yu Su-rin and Son Hee-il additionally wore peculiar expressions.
For the successors of the Seven Stars Convention sitting reverse, this angle was incomprehensible.
Baek Ha-jun quietly opened his mouth. He was fairly displeased.
If youre curious in regards to the Baek Clans swordsmanship, face me as an alternative.
Haha, Iron-blooded Genius is spectacular, however I’m interested by Younger Grasp Baek Yi-gang.
Peng Mu-ah and Baek Ha-jun appeared prepared to face up for Yi-gang.
Till Yi-gang stated this, Lets not try this and have a martial arts duel as an alternative.
Sure?
Lets do it earlier than the meals arrives, or after we eat? I’ve a spot to go to afterwards, so Id desire to do it straight away.
Thump
Yi-gang positioned the Capturing Star Fang, tied to his waist, on the desk.
Probably the most stunned by his motion was none apart from Peng Mu-ah.
-What are you considering!
She stated that telepathically, however Yi-gang simply glanced again and didnt say something.
Peng Mu-ah then appeared on the third-generation disciples of the Azure Forest.
It was a touch to attempt to cease their senior.
In her thoughts, Yi-gang was nonetheless the boy who used to cough up blood, so it couldnt be helped.
Whats for lunch, Senior Brother?
Since its the Murim Alliance, its sure to be scrumptious, proper?
However they had been simply whispering such conversations.
Their detached angle was perplexing. Whether or not they trusted Yi-gang or just didnt care.
With Jegal Seon frozen in entrance of him, Yi-gang stood up.
Do you dislike it?
What are you considering?
I recommended we have now a martial arts duel because you needed to make use of the duel rights.
You underestimate the Jegal Clan.
Yi-gang laughed as if he couldnt imagine it.
Jegal Seon appeared genuinely insulted.
Simply because our clan is understood for its technique doesnt imply our martial arts are inferior.
Its a typical prejudice in opposition to the Jegal Clan. They had been typically regarded as simply clean talkers with common martial arts expertise.
However their Heavens Secret Mysterious Step and White Feather Fan Approach had been undoubtedly top-notch within the martial world.
Youre the one underestimating.
Nevertheless, it was undoubtedly Jegal Seon who had spoken arrogantly first.
Regardless that not one of the successors who knew of Yi-gangs Nice Yin Meridian Blockage considered it as an smug comment.
The environment grew to become heavy.
Yi-gang held a sword in a single hand, and Jegal Seon modified the best way he held his white feather fan.
The eyes reappeared by the marginally enlarged holes.
-What are they saying?
-Quiet, Im making an attempt to learn their lips.
-When did you be taught lip studying?
Contained in the banquet corridor was Mount Huas Divine Sword, a Peak grasp.
Even with the bustling corridor, they needed to converse telepathically to keep away from being caught peeping, given the presence of such a talented particular person.
-Cant I perceive what our cute Mu-ah is saying?
-Effectively, thats true.
The 2 males clinging to the door had been fairly massive in stature.
They had been generally known as the Peng Clans Twin Tigers, two specialists.
Peng Gu-hwi and Peng Gu-in, the dual older brothers of Peng Mu-ah.
Peng Gu-hwi, from a distance, was deciphering the lip actions of his youthful sister, who was grappling with a teacup.
-Yeah. Tried to observe however cant positive even brothers cant do. What about it?
Fairly an correct interpretation.
It was spectacular lip-reading, however by some means, it appeared extra disturbing than cool.
-Superb Yi-gang. Woah!
Peng Gu-hwi cried out telepathically. Peng Gu-in felt the identical frustration.
-We may try this too!
-Utilizing such a trivial trick to utterly bewitch our Mu-ah!
The dual brothers, who had participated within the earlier Dragon-Phoenix Convention, got here right here to Kaifeng with Peng Mu-ah.
Nevertheless, they weren’t allowed to attend the luncheon.
Peng Mu-ah had vehemently forbidden them, sure they’d do one thing silly in entrance of Yi-gang.
And her issues weren’t unfounded.
-In fact, we have to take a look at him!
-See if hes the true deal!
The dual brothers had been decided to satisfy Yi-gang in individual to see what sort of individual he was.
They believed that Yi-gang had enchanted Peng Mu-ah.
Whereas the Peng Clans Twin Tigers couldnt attend the luncheon, they had been right here observing their sister and the opposite successors.
Drrrr
Simply then, the door opened, and a servant got here out carrying empty dishes.
The servant, opening the paper display door and seeing the 2 massive figures connected to it, was visibly shocked.
Gag!
Peng Gu-hwi shortly moved to cowl the servants mouth. Peng Gu-in swiftly caught the plate the servant had dropped.
There was no noise in any respect.
With a pot-lid-like hand overlaying the servants mouth, they moved to a nook of the hall.
-Dont be scared. We’re the Twin Tigers of Peng Clan.
-Loosen up. Had been simply right here to see our youthful sister.
The servant, trembling, nodded his head.
-In case you promise to not scream, nicely allow you to go.
The servant nodded once more.
Peng Gu-hwi was about to launch him with a sly smile when
Drrrr
The paper display door opened once more, and somebody walked out.
It was Yi-gang, leaving early for his schedule. He deliberate to go to the visitor corridor within the outer courtyard, the place the choice take a look at for the exterior successors was to be held.
Nevertheless, Yi-gang didnt go away instantly however stopped.
His sharp senses had been telling him one thing.
Was it my creativeness?
He appeared across the hall, however there was nothing there.
Yi-gang tightly tied his hair. He was making ready for bodily motion quickly.
His necklace and the ring on his hand sparkled.
He descended the steps and disappeared.
After which
Puhuck, Pwooooo!
Ah, sorry, you couldnt breathe, may you?
Hooooek! What, on this planet
The dialog between the servant and Peng Gu-hwi was heard from above.
In that temporary second, Peng Gu-hwi had grabbed the servant and climbed as much as the ceiling beams.
That child has fairly sharp senses.
Certainly.
They’d hidden shortly, however they hadnt anticipated Yi-gang to catch even a slight hint of their presence.
Nevertheless, this didnt change their notion of Yi-gang.
Brother, did you see?
Yeah I noticed. Unacceptable.
They flexed their muscular arms, burning with anger.
The Peng Clan had a household motto.
Burning Blood Breaks Iron.
It meant that scorching blood may sever iron.
The martial artists of the Peng Clan should be dominating and powerful.
Among the many Seven Nice Clans, the Peng Clan possessed the most well liked blood, and so they had been additionally thought-about probably the most manly.
Subsequently, if Peng Mu-ah appreciated a successor, he should be extra manly than anybody.
However what about Yi-gang?
With a neck so pale it appears prefer it may snap with a flick.
Carrying rings and necklaces.
Completely unacceptable.
Lets observe him.
Regardless of Peng Mu-ahs warning to not strategy Yi-gang, as her older brothers, they couldnt simply stand by.
They dashed off within the course Yi-gang had disappeared.
Their actions had been extremely silent and lightweight, belying their massive stature.
From the spot the place the Peng Clans Twin Tigers had left, a plaintive voice echoed, C-could you please let me down
There, the poor servant was trembling and clinging tightly to the beam above.
