Chapter 38: The Tragic Hero, Yu Renyan

  "This wilderness actually has such a beauty, come quickly and have a drink with me." A man in green clothes rode over on his horse, but suddenly saw Yue Lingxuan, and his eyes lit up. He ordered someone beside him to bring her over.

  "Yes, senior brother!" The second man replied loudly.

  It's indeed true that people meet in unexpected places, and Linghu Chong couldn't help but sigh inwardly. It turned out that this group of people who came with such momentum were actually the disciples of Qingcheng Sect who had left yesterday, and they had returned. The speakers were Yu Renyan, son of Sect Leader Yu Canghai, and Yu Renhao, one of the Four Beauties of Qingcheng.

  Lam Ping Chi escorted Yeung Ling San back to the tea house, when suddenly Yee Yin Hung appeared and attempted to abduct Yeung Ling San. According to the original story, Lam Ping Chi would definitely intervene and accidentally kill Yee Yin Hung. It seems that Yee Yin Hung was destined to die here.

  Yu Hao took big strides to walk in front of Yue Lingxuan and the other two, clasped his fists together with a proud smile, saying: "Miss, my young master invites you over there for a drink, to make friends."

  Yue Lingshan and others looked in the direction pointed by Ren Hao's palm, and Yu Ranyan, who was wearing a green robe, kicked open a middle-aged man who was drinking tea, and domineeringly occupied his seat. Then he took over a water bag from a Qingcheng disciple, proudly raised it to Yue Lingshan, and pretended to be heroic, tilting his head back and taking a big gulp.

  "This poseur, I hope when Lin Pingzi that little brat kills you later, you can still maintain this tone."

  Looking at Yu Renyan's pose, Linghu Cong felt uncomfortable in his heart and secretly scolded him.

  "I'm not familiar with your family's young master, why should I go drink with him!" Yueshen is the most spoiled little princess of Huashan School, how could she possibly put Yu Renyan in her eyes, and still want to make her accompany him for a drink, dreaming.

  "Our young master has taken a liking to you, it's the good fortune you've accumulated from your past life, you can't refuse." Yu Ren Hao said in a stern tone.

  In his mind, Yu Renyan was the only legitimate son of Yu Canghai, the leader of the Qingcheng Sect, a renowned sect in the Jianghu. What an honorable identity! You, a simple village girl from the mountains, were favored by my senior brother, which is truly a blessing accumulated over thousands of years. You should be overjoyed and carefully serve him, but instead you dare to refuse? It's as if your brain has been squeezed by a door panel.

  "Grandfather, my daughter is still young, please spare her!" Laodeno suddenly stood up, pretending to be in a sorrowful state, and begged Yu Renhao for mercy.

  He didn't bother to be polite, and with one kick, he sent Laborde tumbling to the ground. He reached out to grab Yue Lingshan, not having the patience to be courteous to a nameless village girl. Being able to personally come and make an inviting gesture was already a great favor, if you're unwilling, then just directly use force to take her, after all, this wasn't the first time he's done something like this.

  "Bastard!"

  Lin Pingyi slammed his hand on the table and stood up abruptly, slapping away Yu Renhao's right hand that was grabbing at him. He shouted angrily: "In broad daylight, you dare to rob a civilian woman? Today, this young master will uphold justice for heaven and teach you bunch of scoundrels a lesson!"

  With a loud "slap", the two men fiercely clashed palms, Yu Renhao didn't flinch, but Lin Pingzi stumbled backward three or four steps, his face suddenly changing color. He couldn't believe that this young man in green had such high martial arts skills, he had never encountered such a strong enemy before.

  Yu Ren Hao's face also changed slightly, he did not expect that in such a desolate place there would still be a young master, the boy in front of him was not as good as him, but better than most of the Qingcheng disciples present.

  "Alright, hold on a minute, let me teach this arrogant little brat a lesson."

  Yu Renhao was about to go all out to take down Lin Pingzhi, but Yu Renyan, who had been idle and bored in the back, suddenly became interested and hastily stopped Yu Renhao. He wanted to personally take action and humiliate this little brat who dared to meddle in other people's business.

  Lin Pingzhi, who had always been smooth sailing since childhood and was also undefeated among the wealthy young masters in Kyoto, was now suddenly looked down upon by two unknown green-clad men. He was instantly filled with shame and anger, let out a loud shout, and recklessly charged at Yuwen Yan.

  Lin Ping suddenly made the first move, and Yu Renyan "heh heh" smiled, dodged to the side and kicked Lin Ping's rushing figure to the ground. Then, with one foot on Lin Ping's chest, he sneered: "With just this bit of skill, you dare to come out and play hero? You want to be a hero and save the beauty? I'll let you have your fill."

  Lin Ping was knocked down by Yu Renyan's three moves, trampled on the ground, but had no power to resist. Only then did he realize that he had underestimated the heroes of the world, and the martial arts of those Kyoto dandies were so insignificant in the entire Jianghu.

  "I let you interfere with what's none of your business, and now you're playing hero to rescue the beauty!"

  Yu Renyan lifted his foot and violently trampled Lin Ping's chest, while Lin Ping, who had fallen to the ground, was completely unable to fight back. His face turned bright red, half from shame and anger, and half from pain.

  Yue Lingshan couldn't bear it and was about to step in to rescue, but was secretly held back by Laborde. He saw that Yu Renyan didn't have too much killing intent, just wanted to humiliate Lin Pingzhi, and didn't really want to kill him, so he blocked Yue Lingshan to avoid startling the snake.

  "Hmm, something's off here, it didn't go like this in the original!"

  Linghu Chong stroked his chin, muttering to himself: "Yu Renyan's martial arts have already reached the peak of the second-rate Jianghu, while Lin Pingzhi is only barely close to a high-ranking second-rate expert. The gap in their levels is too great, and Lin Pingzhi doesn't even have a chance. At this rate, Yu Renyan won't lose, but Lin Pingzhi will end up losing instead."

  Can't let this happen, Linghu Cong picked up a small stone and suddenly shot it at Yu Renyan's thigh.

  Yu Renyan lifted his foot and was about to heavily step down, when he was suddenly hit by a stone shot out by Linghu Chong, becoming numb on the spot. Lin Pingzhi took advantage of the opportunity to roll over and escape from Yu Renyan's control. He looked around, then suddenly picked up a wine jar and violently smashed it towards Yu Renyan.

  Yu Renyan easily smashed the wine barrel and used his internal force to condense the wine into a ball, which he then violently shot at Lin Ping. Lin Ping had never seen such a brilliant move before, and before he could react, he was knocked to the ground again, with Yu Renyan's large foot once more pressed against his chest.

  A few strands of black lines suddenly appeared on Linghu Chong's head, which was hidden not far away. Lin Pingzhi was too weak and was knocked down again in less than two moves. He had to make another move secretly, so he shot a small stone at Yu Renyan again.

  Lin Pingzi was trampled on the ground twice in a row, his anger swelling up. Seeing Yu Renyan standing still with his feet shoulder-width apart, he didn't have time to think much and scrambled to his feet, pulling out the dagger for self-defense from his bosom and stabbing it fiercely into Yu Renyan's chest.

  Yu Renyan fell heavily to the ground, his face filled with regret and unwillingness. A renowned young hero who shook the rivers and lakes was actually defeated by a third-rate martial artist, how could he be willing to accept this?

  "Big Brother!" Yu Renhao, who was not far away and had just humiliated Lin Ping's two small followers, saw Yu Renyuan fall to the ground and was so frightened that his soul escaped, greatly shocked and lost in color. He hastily threw down the two small followers and rushed towards Yu Renyuan.

  "Tell my father... I, I want him to avenge me!" Yu Renyan said in a broken tone, then stared wide-eyed and fell silent, his eyes frozen open in death.

  "You killed my senior brother, committing a heinous crime. Do you know that my senior brother is the only son of the leader of Qingcheng Sect? You just wait for the crazy revenge from Qingcheng Sect."

  Yu Hao yelled at Lin Ping and others, then hastily mounted his horse without looking back, galloping away wildly, not even bothering with Yu Renyan's corpse.

  Yu Ren Hao fled in a sorry state, not seeing that Yu Ren Yan was ambushed to death and thought Lin Pingzhi had hidden his true strength. His martial arts were slightly inferior to Yu Ren Yan's, so he thought for sure he wasn't Lin Pingzhi's match. He didn't even dare take his master brother's corpse and fled wildly.

  After learning that the young man in green clothes who was killed by himself was the son of Yu Canghai of Qingcheng Sect, Lin Pingzhi knew he had gotten into big trouble. He hastily buried the body of Yu Renyan with his two attendants and handed over all the silver to Laborde, telling him to take Yue Lingshan away from this place to avoid the revenge of Qingcheng Sect.

  After a group of people hastily left, Linghu Cong appeared and faced the small mound where Yu Renyan was buried. He couldn't help but feel a little schadenfreude, thinking that you, a proud and arrogant person, a second-rate master in the Jianghu world, died at the hands of someone with far inferior martial arts skills. You must be feeling very resentful now. If you knew that the one who killed you was the target of Qingcheng Sect, the only son of the Lin family, would you jump out of this grave?

  Yu Renyan, this tragic guy, is probably going to die with his eyes open, but all of this was actually caused by that son of a bitch in secret, this isn't scientific at all. If I hadn't come, would Lin Pingzhi still have killed Yu Renyan like in the original story? Linghu Chong's head hurt, he wiped away the cold sweat on his forehead with his sleeve and left quickly.
