Chapter 368: The Bet Between Two Women

Chapter 368: The Bet Between Two Women

Xiao Longnu didn't expect that the two fingers, which looked extremely fragile, were actually stronger than a sword! 

When she saw the Vajra Sect’s master hold her sword with his fingers, she thought that she could just cut off his fingertips with a single slash of her sword. However, Xiao Longnu was inherently kind-hearted, and since she had no grudges against the man, she felt hesitant about whether to be ruthless or to show mercy.

However, to her surprise, the man broke off the blade of the swords in the blink of an eye, and poked at her waist with his other hand.

The whole inn was filled with the sound of heavy gasps, and most men couldn't bear to see this fairy-like woman die. 

Although Xiao Longnu was initially shocked, she still remained calm as ever, and her entire upper body suddenly bent back!

Until now, she had been very swift with her sword, but now she was like a lightning flash, as her whole body seemed to have ignored the inertia and lept to the opposite direction. 

Everyone in the room broke out in cold sweat for her, fearing that her slender waist would break.

However, Xiao Longnu's whole body showed amazing flexibility. Like a willow branch, she completed such difficult movement with ease, and kicked her toe at the Vajra Sect Master's wrist, taking the opportunity to flip back and gain some distance. Then she glanced at the broken sword in her hand, and warily looked back at her opponent.

The Vajra Sect master cared about his identity and stoped pursuing a little girl after missing a single hit. However, he admired the girl's martial arts very much.

‘Her waist is so soft and flexible, tsk tsk…’ Song Qingshu quietly put down his hand with which he was planning to use the Dragon Capturing Hand, and sighed with emotion.

"What bad thoughts are you having again?" Bing Xue'er on the side covered her mouth and smiled.

"No way!" Song Qingshu's face turned red and he smiled in embarrassment.

"Miss, your sword is broken. If you don't mind, you can use this sword." Suddenly a clear male voice was heard, and everyone looked back to see who it was. 

It turned out to be the young master in brocade clothes sitting next to Ouyang Feng.

Raising her hand to grab the sword thrown by the other party, Xiao Longnu looked at it and looked quite satisfied.

"Although this Wushan Sword is not as good as the famous Heaven Sword and Dragon Saber in the wulin, it is still more than enough to cut gold and break stones…" The young master in brocade clothes bragged, but Xiao Longnu just indifferently nodded and turned around to look at Zhao Zhijing behind Monk Jinlun.

The young master in brocade clothes almost choked on his breath. But, since he was ignored, he had to sit back with a gloomy look on his face.

Song Qingshu smiled knowingly. This young master in brocade clothes was handsome in appearance, and he was bold and generous in his actions. So it was easy for him to leave a good impression on ordinary women, but unfortunately, he met Xiao Longnu, who was ignorant of the world and had no common sense.

"Brother-in-law, you seems to be very happy to see that young man fail." After having a skin-to-skin relationship with Song Qingshu, Bing Xue'er's eyes were always conscious of her lover, and the smile on Song Qingshu's lips didn’t escape her eyes.

"If I guessed right, this young master in brocade clothes should be a nobleman of the Jin Empire. He is destined to be our enemy in the future, and I will be happy to see him fail." Song Qingshu suddenly laughed, and stretched out his hand to hold Bing Xue'er's soft hand, "Sister-in-law, are you jealous?"

Bing Xue'er's heart skipped a beat. She looked up and saw that no one had noticed their little movements under the table. Then she quickly and quietly broke away. Her pretty face under the mask was already blushing red, and she coquettishly said, "How could you do that~"

"Why is your finger strength so powerful?" Although Xiao Longnu wanted to rush over and kill Zhao Zhijing immediately, she didn’t act reckless. Monk Jinlun was very powerful, and the martial arts shown by that old man just now was not inferior to him, not to mention there were a large group of masters in their group.

"You are quite young, so it's not surprising that you don't know about the power of the powerful Vajra finger." The master of the Vajra Sect said with a proud look on his face.

"Is is the powerful Vajra finger from the Shaolin Temple?" Xiao Longnu didn't know much about the world, but she knew quite a bit about the martial arts in the world due to her life experience, but she was still a bit doubtful.

The Vajra Sect’s master suddenly changed his expression, "Heh, how can those fake and inferior Vajra Fingers from the Shaolin Temple compare to us? Our Vajra Sect is authentic and more powerful! Of the four so-called ‘knowledge and wisdom' monks in Shaolin Temple who had the highest attainments in Dali’s Vajra Fingers, one died from Xie Xun’s random punches, one was easily captured by Cheng Kun, and the other one couldn’t even defeat my disciple, it’s simply ridiculous!”

"The powerful Vajra finger turns out to be a technique from the Vajra Sect, or did they secretly learn it from the Shaolin Temple?" Xiao Longnu didn't feel dissatisfied, and showed an expression of sudden realization, but there was still a trace of doubt on her face.

Seeing Xiao Longnu's blatant display of doubt, the master of the Vajra Sect felt offended, and his old face flushed red in anger, but Monk Jinlun and Taoist Baishang inwardly laughed in their hearts.

"Then I will have to offend you as well, do you really want to protect him?" Xiao Longnu wasn’t really interested in any sect or their origin, and quickly put aside the matter with the Vajra Finger.

"Little girl, it'd be better for you to leave early. There are so many of them here, and any one of us is a powerful martial arts senior. You can't win against them all. It's not good to be so stubborn." The Vajra Sect master scoffed. Ouyang Feng on the other side sneered. His words seemed like a compliment, his smile was full of sarcasm.

Although Ouyang Feng had never met this prospective daughter-in-law before due to the plot change, he could tell that Zhao Min and her party were probably Mongolians, so naturally he didn't like her.

Ouyang Feng's words made Taoist Baishang, Master of the Vajra Sect, Monk Jinlun and others feel ashamed. They were all master-level figures, especially Taoist Baishang, who claimed to be a martial arts elder who could compete with Zhang Sanfeng. So wasn’t it shameful to take action against a delicate girl?

"What do you want to do?" Xiao Longnu said angrily after seeing that her opponents didn’t answer and kept protecting Zhao Zhijing.

Zhao Min smiled and said, "This sister is so skilled in martial arts, can you tell me your name?"

Xiao Longnu frowned slightly and calmly replied, "My surname is Xiao." After saying that, she closed her lips tightly and said nothing.

Zhao Min was startled, and after a thought, she roughly understood Xiao Longnu's temper, "Sister, I have always liked martial arts, I wonder if Miss Xiao can pass on the amazing swordsmanship you performed just now to me?"

Xiao Longnu shook her head, "You can't learn my martial arts."

Zhao Min smiled sweetly, "Although I dare not claim to be a genius in martial arts, but I think I can learn it if I try."

Zhao Min tended to judge others on her own terms, and thought that Xiao Longnu was not willing to pass on her martial arts to others, but she didn't know that what Xiao Longnu said was actually the truth, because the Jade Maiden Dual Swordplay originally required one to dual wield at the same time. You have to use the Jade Maiden Sword technique using one hand, and the Quanzhen Sword technique with the other. If a person wanted to use it, they had to learn Zhou Botong's Skill of Ambidexterity first.

As for learning the Skill of Ambidexterity, only those who were simple-minded and honest could learn it. So it was especially impossible for Zhao Min and Huang Rong, who had a clever and scheming mind.

Xiao Longnu didn't think too much, she said whatever came to her mind, and seeing Zhao Min's confident look, she pointed her sword at Zhao Zhijing and Yin Zhiping, "Okay, kill these two Taoist, and I'll teach you."

Zhao Min made an expression as if she had already expected such a response, but compared to her personal martial arts prowess, she was more interested in the Quanzhen Sect forces behind Zhao Zhijing and Yin Zhiping. So naturally she wouldn’t abandon them, and said with a smile, "Miss Xiao, you have also seen just now. The martial arts of my subordinates are quite high, do you think you can kill the two Taoist under their noses?"

Xiao Longnu was stunned and speechless, then she hesitated, and said, "No, but you can't protect them for the rest of their lives."

Zhao Min realized that the woman was already hell bent on killing the two Taoists, and with such a master chasing to take their lives day and night, it was indeed a matter of serious worry. 

After a moment of thought, she finally had an idea, "Since Miss Xiao thinks it is impossible to let them go, then I can give you a chance. As long as you can beat any one of these three masters, I will let you deal with these two Taoists. If you fail, Miss Xiao has to stay and teach me that set of swordsmanship, how about it?"

In fact, Zhao Min didn't care about the swordsmanship at all. She just wanted to take the opportunity to settle the grievances between the two sides. Now that the situation had come to such a point, Taoist Baishang and the others had to make a move despite their status. With the sword skills and movement technique that Xiao Longnu showed just now, the rest may not be able to defeat her.

Once they leave, the lives of Zhao Zhijing and Yin Zhiping would be threatened all the time, and that was absolutely unacceptable to Zhao Min who was planning to invest heavily in them.

Although Taoist Baishang and the three masters respected their status and were unwilling to take action against Xiao Longnu, Zhao Min thought that they wouldn't mind showing off their skills in front of her and Huazheng if it was a simple wager. With the martial arts that Xiao Longnu showed just now, although her swordsmanship was exquisite, her internal strength was too weak, so she was by no means a match for the three of them.

As long as she succeeded in keeping Xiao Longnu by her side, Zhao Min could pretend that she was having trouble learning the swordsmanship and keep her occupied. She was confident that with her intelligence and wisdom, over time, she could slowly resolve the hatred between Xiao Longnu and Zhao Zhijing.

"Are you serious?" Xiao Longnu's eyes lit up.

Zhao Min was stunned and couldn't figure out why she was so excited. She thought that Xiao Longnu was just eager for revenge and was being impatient. So she smiled and nodded, "This is natural." 

After saying that, she turned to look at Taoist Baishang and the others, and respectfully said, "I like this Sister's swordsmanship very much. Can you three please help me guide Miss Long and help me win this bet?"

Daoist Baishang and the three masters looked at each other, although they were unwilling to bully the young as the old, but they had to give Zhao Min some face. She might have spoken politely in front of outsiders, but the three of them understood how powerful she was in Mongolia, and they were people who had taken refuge in Mongolia, so it was really inappropriate for them to offend her.

What's more, Zhao Min also gave the three of them a suitable reason to save face. It was barely acceptable for them to fight a junior if they were giving guidance, so they all nodded in agreement.

Monk Jinlun had suffered under Jade Maiden Dual Swordplay in the past, and he couldn't help but secretly groan. However, the arrow was on the string and had to be fired, and the other two people had already agreed as well, so he didn’t want to lose his prestige in front of everyone.

"Miss Xiao, you can choose an opponent at will. As long as you stay undefeated against them, you will be considered the winner." Zhao Min felt that saying the word “win” would be detrimental to the dignity of the masters. So she changed her wording. 

Anyway, in her opinion, with the skills of the three masters, they were far higher than Xiao Longnu, and it wouldn’t be difficult for them to defeat her within a hundred moves.

"Okay." Xiao Longnu was also very straightforward. She raised her sword and pointed at Monk Jinlun, "Then I will choose him."
