Chapter 51: It Was Told That the Little Master Is in Fact Xiao Zhu

Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation  Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

The Gobi Trio inched toward Shen Lian, as what Shen Lian said had set them off.

They tromped at each step and marched toward Shen Lian uniformly. One could almost hear the thrumming of the roof tiles, unbeknownst to the listeners whether it was caused by the heavy rain or the tromping of the trio.

Three individuals, six fists – every punch could kill a cow.

Facing the vicious trio, Shen Lian seemed apathetic.

The moment the six punches were thrown to him, Shen Lian crouched slightly, swung his arms like a drunk man. While the motion was random, he escaped from the fists.

It was what he adapted from Bai Yufei’s movements. While there were slight differences, the movements both stemmed from a single concept, the concept of ‘balance’.

The jab sliced through the air and muffled the rain.

He simply latched onto one of the trio’s shoulder. With a swift hook, he managed to get another one down on his knees.

He then threw the guy he was latching onto toward the last man standing.

Shen Lian was manipulating the movement of the trio like a puppeteer in a muppet show. By the end of the show, the muppets were simply tangled and trapped.

The tangled trio fell to the ground and looked just like a huge meatball.

The Gobi Trio were rather famous among Jianghu, but Shen Lian defeated them effortlessly. It was not something expected by the little master.

He was preoccupied with the presence of the shorthaired monk. By the time realized what happened, the trio had already been thrashed.

It could be said that the trio had the strength of the gods. Unfortunately, it seemed that Shen Lian was more favored by the gods. It was smooth sailing for him.

“You are no ordinary man. May I know what your name is?” The little master blinked and put on a more serious expression. His eyes glimmered under the fluttering, charming eyelashes.

“You wouldn’t know me even if I mention it. It is okay because I am not interested to know who you are as well,” Shen Lian answered calmly, but with a cautious expression – he looked as if he was ready to strike anytime.

He was suspicious of the little master because of the tricks that the little master pulled previously.

He did not intend to use the Deity Vanquishing Sword unless it was absolutely necessary. He was aware of its danger after the fox deity warned him about it. However, it was hard to not go against one’s will.

“Well, you don’t need to tell me. I know you’re from the Shen family.” The little master smiled.

“I know who you are too, Xiao Zhu, the owner of Guiyun Peak,” answered not by Shen Lian, but the shorthaired monk who looked like he was sleeping previously.

Mingjian Peak and Guiyun Peak were located in the north and the south of Dawei respectively, but both were the longest standing Holy Land of Kung Fu.

The history of the peaks could have lasted for a thousand years, which was likely to be longer than Dawei’s history.

Shen Lian never imagined that he would be able to meet both Mingjian’s and Guiyun’s heir, Ye Liuyun and Xiao Zhu.

As the descendant of Guiyun, it was apparent why he could easily identify Shen Lian’s background.

Xiao Zhu was hitting on his fair and soft palm lightly with his folding fan. He tilted his head to the side and laughed with his lips closed. “So it is Master Kuhui. I remember you were present during my baby shower celebration. You gave me a string of beads. That is why you look familiar.”

“It was commonly said that you can remember things since the moment you’re born. I thought it was a joke but who would have known?” Kuhui spoke slowly.

“I heard that you met Ye Liuyun three years ago. How am I in comparison? Who is better?”

Xiao Zhu stopped hitting his palm with his fan. He wanted to know more eagerly the answer to whether Ye Liuyun was better than him.

“If you don’t use the King Kong Talisman, you won’t be able to beat Ye Liuyun even if there were two of you. In addition, you two are a couple. It is better if he is more powerful.” Kuhui smiled.

Shen Lian came to a realization that Xiao Zhu was actually female. There was not any resentment between Guiyun and Mingjian, they were actually related.

The shield around the body was perhaps related to King Kong Talisman. It could be the celestial power.

“This King Kong Talisman belongs to my family, and naturally, it belongs to me. If you can use precious swords, why can’t I use talisman?” Xiao Zhu disapproved.

Shen Lian thought to himself, ‘This woman is temperamental. She does not value life. If Ye Liuyun marries her, he will definitely suffer.’

Shen Lian could not imagine how would Ye Liuyun’s aloof personality be able to pair up with Xiao Zhu’s temperment.

“Let us not talk about Ye Liuyun. Even with your King Kong Talisman, you will not be able to beat Shen Lian.” Kuhui pointed at Shen Lian and smiled.

“What is so great about this boy? Even Ling Chongxiao will not be able to defeat the King Kong Talisman,” Xiao Zhu responded coldly. In her eyes, he did not stand a chance.

This talisman originated from Celestialism. Therefore, there was no need for essential Qi.

One only needed to focus on the mind and spirit to activate the shield. It was not something that could be easily disrupted by an ordinary man’s tricks.

In addition, as long as the vital Qi stored in it was not depleted, the invisible shield should exist.

During the downtime, there was also a natural mechanism within this talisman where it would absorb vital Qi from the environment to replenish the vital Qi it used.

The process of absorption could also help enhance the physique of the person wearing the talisman.

Even in the realm of celestial, it was considered something precious.

“He succeeded in the training for the Deity Vanquishing Sword, what more can you say?” Kuhui said slowly.

Shen Lian thought, ‘It seems like I can’t hide this information from people. Fortunately, no one knew I practiced The Mastery of Senses.’

He realized that at least in Jianghu, there was not any training that specialized in the spirit. It could be a different case for Celestialism.

Shen Lian was able to break out of the ordinary due to The Mastery of Senses, which origin was unknown.

Xiao Zhu evaluated Shen Lian and said, “Other than the insane Yang Xuan, there is another person who practiced this. Why did Ling Chongxiao allow him to stay alive and even teach him Kung Fu?”

“Most others who practiced Deity Vanquishing Sword would have either died or strayed toward the path of evil, like Yang Xuan, but Shen is an exception.”

“Why should I believe you?” Xiao Zhu smiled coldly.

“Why don’t you try it out?”

“Eh, Shen, did you really succeed in obtaining the Deity Vanquishing Sword?” Xiao Zhu asked.

“I guess.”

“What do you mean ‘I guess?'” Xiao Zhu’s black eyes were staring at Shen Lian curiously.

“I can definitely use the Deity Vanquishing Sword. If your invisible shield can’t protect yourself from the attack on the spirit, then I can certainly defeat you,” Shen Lian replied slowly.

Given the fact that she was the fiancé of Ye Liuyun and was a woman, Shen Lian did not intend to cause any problem. He still wanted to understand from Ye Liuyun about how Qing Xuan selected his students.

Regarding why Xiao Zhu insisted to oppose Ye Liuyun, Shen Lian was not at all curious.

Suddenly, someone coughed and it was extremely clear to the three in the room.
