Book 2 - Chapter 8 – Clan Leader of the Fairer Sex (2/2)
Xu Ziling angrily said, “Do you want to fight or not? If not, we’ll go back to sleep”
Naturally the pretty woman was able to see his hard shell but eth while weak inside She reached to her back and pulled a clear, golden-colored copper xiao [Chinese flute[2]], about four chi long, placed it horizontally on her lips, and blew a clear note, like a cool breeze entering their ears And then she placed the flute on her jade legs, looked down on the flickering flame inside the wind lantern, and said softly, “Can you not view people with hostility? The reason I did not hesitate to declare a ith Haisha Bang was precisely because I wanted to see if we have any possibility of cooperation”
The two boys looked at each other in confusion, but there was also a little bit of ‘overwhel reaction was cole he also sat down on another big rock, nodded his head, and said, “Miss [or Young Lady; here he used ‘guniang’, whereas previously he used ‘xiaojie’] please state your attractive conditions first, so that we can see if we can reach any agreelance; she still acted as if she was talking to herself, “Shall I give the first, so that these two little de juht; he adopted the first stance of the ‘bloody Battle Ten Styles’, the ‘Two Ar treated with ‘sudden hard and sudden soft’ by her like that, the two boys felt a headache

Chapter 8, Part 2
Jaya, HPC, Anh, Weed, you are welco is, each time a beauty made appearance, she was more beautiful than the previous one Grundle, did a woman break your heart?
The pretty woman suddenly turned her pretty face toward them, her phoenix eyes flashed a cold ray as she focused her attention to size the two boys up, while they were still adopting a pretentious stance She spoke coldly, “If you must know, the reason I spoke so hly of you, hence I a and becoate’ and ‘close the gate’, respectively]”
The two boys were stunned; with different !”
It was certainly beyond their wildest dream How could this pretty woman, as at most only three, four years older than they were, unexpectedly want to take them as her disciples?
The ‘Clan Leader of the Fairer sex’ Yun Yuzhen was not in the least apologetic, “What’s so surprising about it?” she asked, “Learning has never known early or late; those who attain it beco? You don’t even know the technique of holding a weapon”
Xu Ziling was disappointed, “Even holding a weapon also has technique?” he asked
“Of course!” Yun Yuzhen snapped, “Just by looking at how you grip the sword hilt with so th like you want to crush it I know that you don’t know the key to holding weapon ‘Light and floating is actually tight’ ‘Too far is as bad as not enough’ [an idioht master, hoould you, this little kid, know?”
Kou Zhong was afraid Xu Ziling ed the subject, “Didn’t you say earlier that we are virtue-less and inco first and beca’s treasure-trove’ and the ‘Secret to Long Life’? After receiving us as your disciple, you will tell us that we must not disobey master’s order, so in order to make you, Senior, happy, in the end ill obediently present the treasure to you”
Yun Yuzhen stared at him blankly for half a day with an aentle and soft voice, “If I, Yun Yuzhen, as, let ood death”
And then, pursing her lips she laughed and said, “Perhaps you did not know, after Du Fuwei failed to find you, he returned to Liyang One day he suddenly laughed Naturally others asked hi that the two of you were born as ah he has inspected innumerable people, he has never seen anybody with better natural endow talent’ thought It’s just that he hated it that you got away, so now he only wants to get rid of you”
The two boys felt as if their faces were burning
What she just said see frouous
Xu Ziling aardly asked, “How could you even knohat Du Fuwei said?”
“It’s none of your business,” Yun Yuzhen nonchalantly replied, “In today’s world, other than Dou Jiande and Li Mi, two people with original insight, I azhu has the intention to take disciples How about this, I don’t care if you do obeisance tocatch up with you, don’t bla to your rescue” Her eyes shot another cold ray as she said, “The ‘Secret to Long Life’ is just a trick the Taoist school uses to sca’s treasure trove, it is only attractive to people who drea the emperor I have to spare ti-head ghosts”
Kou Zhong was not happy at all, “You want to be our, Yangzhou Two Dragons’ shi+fu, at least you need to show your ability Otherwise, if you can’t even withstand our sword-halberd coh capital to be our shi+fu?”
Yun Yuzhen agreed, “You spoke so much words, only these last several words actuallythat she was about to make her rew up in the e iet is not worth coveting’ Such a ‘thousand-lovely, hundred-charm’ beauty with respectable status wanted to take them as her disciples, there must be evil intention or hidden plot soht yet!
Yun Yuzhen grabbed the lantern with her left hand, and pulled the flute with her right hand, she slowly left the big rock she was sitting on Her cape fluttered endlessly behind her back, just like a firefly transfor into a beautiful woman, as she flew across over the two boys’ head
First, they never expected that she could possess such a move; second, they were a bit afraid to hack and injure her beautiful jade legs Therefore, they scattered to the left and right in a flurry Who would have thought that she used their heads as stepping-stones instead?
Yun Yuzhen landed behind the two boys; she laughed tenderly, “My disciples, do you submit to me now?”
The two boys’ faces turned beet-red Exchanging a glance, they launched a converging attack froht By this time they already knew that her er show leniency, and attacked her with everything they had
Xu Ziling originally used the third stance of ‘bloody Battle Ten Styles’, the ‘Light Cavalry Charging Ahead’ If he were using saber, he would have n attack toward the enemy’s pit of the stoe into saber hack sideways; but because he was using sword, he lost the ‘flavor’ of the attack; hence he ht as well halted his step and ai the sword ’s situation was even worse; he had no idea how to use the short halberd, which differed considerably fro the Tip of the Fire Beacon’, but he had tothebody, he swept across Yun Yuzhen’s flank
Yun Yuzhen let out a tender laughter, the lantern in her left hand rose up, illu’s head, as on her left, while the copper flute in her right hand very lightly, as if she did not use any force at all, tapped the tip of Xu Ziling’s sword At the same ti’s short halberd
‘Bing! Bang!’
The two boys felt a soft, yet hard to resist, internal energy burst in via their weapons, and spread into their body via the channels on the hollow of their palh their arm, just like an electric shock, so that they nearly dropped their weapon They both backed off in a very aard position
Yun Yuzhen was even more shocked than they were
Actually, she was trying to force her true energy into the opponent’s vital acupoints; ould have thought that as her energy reached the opponents’ shoulder, the strea a sea of people; it disappeared without any trace, it dispersed into nothingness The one going into Kou Zhong was pushed back by a rather overwhel force
The three people separated; they all looked at each other with astonish, Yun Yuzhen said, “If Luocha feht to have siin; but why is yours distinctly different? Tell led and said, “You sa profound is our internal strength, didn’t you? Beautiful shi+fu”
Xu Ziling laughed aloud and said, “We are a martial art materials, naturally we developed different characteristics”
Knowing her superb martial art skill, yet she was still unable to injure the, hence their hearts and hands were itching Besides, looking at her beautiful appearance and lovely attitude was enough to give the that ‘the master has not captured the disciples’ reverence’, Yun Yuzhen’s pretty eyes shot a cold ray as she swiftly flitted to Kou Zhong’s left, while her copper flute pointed to his face
Kou Zhong clearly saw her movement, and he knew exactly what to do to block it, yet his body moved a bit slow; by the time his short halberd swept across, not only the tip of his nose was already hit, a sweeping kick had also landed on the side of his thigh Iroan, co rushed forward to the rescue, brandishi+ng his sword that itnoise to protect his own face Who would have thought that Yun Yuzhen siht sword net, and hit thefelt as if he was struck by a lightning bolt; he was thrown backward and landed flat on his back
Looking down at the two boys, ere momentarily unable to crawl back up, Yun Yuzhen said tenderly, “I don’t knohere you learned those moves, which mainly rely on offensive, but you don’t know that all these -it-all kind of fierce ether with the enemy, you won’t be able to unleash the full power of the , the two boys stood up; their body felt nuth left to fight Hearing her explanation, ad had said the saht was extremely superior
Yun Yuzhen had increased her internal strength significantly, yet these two boys were able to stand back up this quickly; in her heart she was greatly amazed as well
Apparently she did not have the real intention of taking these two boys as her disciples, she only wanted to use the that was extrehted and co, so that they would use various ht now her heart was moved with the real intention to take them as her disciples If they succeeded in this mission, in time these two boys would turn into her capable assistants
Kou Zhong sighed, “We always hold woard, therefore, how could we have the heart to harrily said, “You have the guts to speak that kind of frivolous words tohastily said, “Whatever it is, let’s talk about it slowly You want to accept disciples to ihted and sincerely willng for it to happen Right noe do not have the mind to do obeisance to you as our master yet Is it possible for us to finish our business dealing first, and then we all come back to discuss the feasibility of this matter later?”
At first Yun Yuzhen’s jade face turned frosty, but then it revealed a s expression Totally beyond the two boys expectation, she said nonchalantly, “Very well! You two may think it over carefully”
With a sway of her body, she was back on top of the big rock With a tender voice she said, “Haisha Bang won’t spare anything trying to capture you back You take care!”
With another char rock
The two boys looked at each other; they felt disappointed to see her leave instead
Suddenly Yun Yuzhen cahted, she instructed the her disciples, “It would be best if you coround Also, make it to appear that you have left far away from here In the meantime, hide up here quietly for a month or two; otherwise, you won’t be able to escape Haisha Bang’s inescapable net”
