That person replied, “You will know when you are there.”
Xiao Yu’er suddenly paused in his steps and said, “Don’t think that because you saved me, I will follow you. If you do not clarify right now, then I’m very sorry, you will go your way and I am going to go mine.”
That person turned his head around and laughed, “No wonder others say that you’re most difficult to deal with and to offend, now it seems that it’s all true…”
His suddenly stopped talking and with a lowered voice, said “Be careful, someone is coming, it could be Wei Wu Ya.”
Xiao Yu’er was really startled, and asked “Where is that person?”
That person held on to his hand, and suddenly smiled icily, “Right here!”
Xiao Yu’er was shocked again, and felt half his body go weak. It turned out that he had locked his pulse point, his five fingers steel-like, so how can Xiao Yu’er struggle out of his grasp. He asked hoarsely, “You… what are you doing?”
That person did not speak, but with lightning fast speed his left hand had pressed on various acupoints.
Xiao Yu’er asked angrily, “Are you crazy, since you saved me, then why did you sneak an attack upon me?”
That person laughed coldly, “Just because you did not expect it, or else how could I have succeeded?”
As he spoke, he used a rope to hang Xiao Yu’er from a tree.
Xiao Yu’er was both startled and furious, and yelled in anger “You’re crazy, beast, what do you actually want?”
But that person did not even take another look at him, but just clapped his hands and walked away.
Xiao Yu’er can’t help but berated, “Crazy, crazy, why do I keep bumping into crazy people.”
Su Ying heard Xiao Yu’er’s admonishments and was surprised and overjoyed. No matter what, at least Xiao Yu’er is still in this valley. She was just about to run over when she suddenly heard a voice saying icily from the darkness, “You do not have to look further, I am here!”
A person walked out slowly, as thin as a skeleton, with hempen garments and tall hat, high cheekbones, nose hooked like an eagle, his gaze freezing, and filled with arrogance. Su Ying can’t help but feel startled, before heaving a long sigh and saying, “So it’s you!”
The man in hempen clothes uttered, “Humph!”
Su Ying smiled, “I had felt earlier that the way that person killed is a lot like you, but I did not expect…”
The man interrupted coldly, “You did not expect that I will come, right?”
Su Ying sighed, “I really did not expect it, since you fell out with that old man, it’s been four years…. Four years and three months where we did not have news of you.”
The man looked heaven looked heavenward and said, “And you still remember me.”
Su Ying lowered her head, “How can I forget you, you’ve always treated me so well.”
The man suddenly said angrily, “Who said I was good to you, in the whole world, I’ve never been good to anyone.”
Su Ying asked, “You did not?”
The man heaved a long sigh, and said loudly, “That’s right, and it’s also because of you. I cannot stand the way that he someone with a foot already in the grave, and yet… yet he wants to treat you like his forbidden fruit. If someone were to take even a look at you, he’ll go crazy.”
Su Ying was silent for a moment before she said, “But now, you still came back.”
The man replied, “I come and go as I please, who can dictate me.”
Su Ying said, “That’s right, even that old man was a little ambiguous about you. He frequently said that although he has many disciples in his whole life, but only you managed to get his true teachings.”
The man laughed icily, “Do you think that he is the one who taught me my martial arts? Humph… Wei Wu Ya is selfish and demanding by nature, who does not know about that. He accepted so many disciples, because he wants some servants which he need not pay. Since when has he really taught his martial arts to others… he only taught me a few basic moves and he wants me to lay down my life for him!”
Su Ying asked, “Then your martial arts..”
The man said coldly, “My martial arts were stolen bit by bit…. When he was practicing martial arts, I was secretly watching, secretly learning.”
Su Ying sighed, “He really did not treat his disciples well, but towards you… then why do you come back now?”
The man replied, “I… I only wanted to come back for a look.”
Su Ying’s eyes shimmered, and she smiled, “You came back because you wanted to see me, right?”
The man said loudly, “Now I already know, you are a heartless person. No matter how well others treat you, you would not remember it, or be grateful about it.”
Su Ying felt extremely maligned, and she said with lowered head, “I… Am I really this kind of person?”
The man affirmed.
Su Ying replied, “But still, you killed Wei Shi Ba because of me, you cannot stand him bullying me, so obviously, you still treat me well, right?”
The man suddenly laughed loudly.
Su Ying blinked, and asked, “What are you laughing about?”
The man suddenly stopped his laughter, and said each word slowly, “To tell you the truth, I have long given up hope on you! I may disdain those who expose others secret, or who shamelessly tell on others, but no matter who you like, I will never put it to heart again!”
Su Ying looked at him quietly for a moment, and slowly replied, “Then, why did you kidnap the person that I like?”
The man smiled frostily, “You will know the reason soon enough, do you wish to take a look at him now?”
Su Ying answered, “What do you think?”
The man replied, “Fine, follow me!”
Xiao Yu’er saw that it was actually Su Ying who came with that man, and they seem to be very familiar with each other. He was startled and surprised, and can’t help but yelled, “Who is this crazy person? You know him?”
Su Ying saw that Xiao Yu’er is actually tied up a tree, and can’t help but sigh and say with a bitter smile, “The world’s smartest person, how did he end up like that?”
Xiao Yu’er angrily replied, “Because I did not expect this person to be crazy, the things he does really makes one flabbergasted.”
Su Ying replied, “Among Wei Wu Ya’s disciples, his martial arts is the highest. When those in the martial arts realm mention ‘Taking Lives Without Mercy’ Wei Ma Yi (Ma Yi = hemp cloth), who would not be terrified. Why else would you be tricked by him as well.”
Xiao Yu’er was shocked for a moment before he heaved a long sigh, “This person is actually Wei Wu Ya’s disciple, it seems like I’ve really seen a ghost.”
Wei Ma Yi said coldly, “Since we’ve met, is there anything you would like to say?”
Xiao Yu’er made a face at him and said, “Words there are none, but I do have a fart, do you want to smell it?”
He was hanging upside down, and a person’s face when seen upside down, is already quite funny, and now that he’s making a monkey face, that look is really hilarious. Su Ying can’t help but guffawed in laughter.
Wei Ma Yi is of course feeling vexed, but on seeing his look, can’t help but want to laugh as well. He immediately turned his head, stared and Su Ying and asked, “This is the one you like?”
If it was any other woman, even if their heart is full of liking, they will definitely be embarrassed to say it out, but Su Ying did not even lower her head and just replied, “That’s right.”
Wei Ma Yi smiled coldly, “I’ve thought that you have high standards, who would have expected that you’ll actually like this crazy fool.”
Su Ying smiled, “He is not too bad, or else I… how can I be mesmerized by him?”
Wei Ma Yi was stunned, “Such words, and you dare to utter them.”
Su Ying replied, “Why won’t I dare to say how I feel? This is nothing shameless. If one were to be surreptitious or furtive about it, liking someone but dare not say it out, now that would be shameless… do you agree?”
Wei Ma Yi’s yellow waxen face seemed to have blushed, and he said with a cold laugh, “You may like him, but he may not necessarily like you.”
Su Ying replied, “I only have to like him, it doesn’t matter if he likes me or not, and you need not be concerned.”
Wei Ma Yi cried out, “Humph, you…” He had wanted to argue, but he only uttered ‘humph’, and was unable to continue.
Su Ying continued with a smile, “Besides, even if he doesn’t like me now, I have ways to make him like me.”
Once he heard this, Xiao Yu’er can’t help but laugh loudly, “Good, well said, I actually feel that I’m liking you a little now.”
Wei Ma Yi’s face seemed to turn green, then pale, and he said fiercely, “Since that is the case, if he is dead, you will certainly be very sad, right?”
Su Ying smiled slightly, “I’ve long known that you will use him to threaten me, what do you actually want? Or are you too embarrassed to say?”
Wei Ma Yi looked at her eyes that seems like spring water, looked at her slightly heaving bosom under her light clothes, and felt his heart beat faster, his lips dry, and said, “… I want you…”
Suddenly he shouted and turned around abruptly, and punched himself in the chest seven, eight times. His eyes not daring to look at her, he yelled, “I only want you to tell me the secret you heard yesterday!”
Su Ying suddenly laughed, “Actually, even if you wanted me, I would have given myself to you, a pity that you do not have the courage, and missed such a great opportunity.”
Wei Ma Yi roared angrily, turned around and grabbed her shoulders, shouting hoarsely, “You… you stinking lass, little s.lut, you… you… you…” He only spoke one sentence, and could not continue. Suddenly his palm struck out, aiming a slap towards Su Ying’s cheeks, but who would have expected that Su Ying did not dodge at all. Instead she turned her face towards him, and said, “Hit me if you want to, but can you bear to strike me?”
The pale starlight, shone through the leaves on the tree, illuminated her face. Her iris were like silk, her cheeks were like fresh flowers, delicate and fragile. Wei Ma Yi’s palm stopped suddenly in midair, unable to strike further.
However Su Ying leaned her body forward, closed her eyes and said, “Hit me, why aren’t you hitting me?”
Wei Ma Yi’s body seemed to be shaking, in his heart he wishes so much to embrace this soft and fragrant body, but he did not have the guts to really reach out.
Xiao Yu’er felt both anger and amusement on witnessing the scene, when he suddenly noticed Su Ying’s slender hand. On her hand, there is now a shiny ring, and no one knows when she put it on.
Hanging upside down, his eyes were on a level with this ring, and he could see clearly under the starlight that there is actually a very sharp and thin silver needle on the ring.
Su Ying was twisting her waist, her mouth mumbling something, and this hand that has the ring, was going to hug Wei Ma Yi’s neck.
The delicate skin on Wei Ma Yi’s neck, only needs to be slightly pricked by this silver needle, and he can forget about living. And right now he is breathless, his heart pumping, his eyes reddening, and his mind seem to have floated somewhere, so how could he have expected that this deathly thing is less than an inch away from him.
Who would have expected Xiao Yu’er to suddenly shout, "Be careful of her hand! There’s a poisoned needle on her fingers!”
Wei ma Yi roared and raising his hand, pushed Su Ying away.
Su Ying knocked into a tree and she stared at Xiao Yu’er, exclaiming hoarsely, “You… are you crazy?”
Su Ying bit her lips, not talking anymore. Wei ma Yi was both startled and furious, but he really does not know why Xiao Yu’er would save him instead, so he just stood there staring, not talking as well.
Xiao Yu’er laughed, “I saved him, because I also wanted to hear that secret of yours.”
Su Ying asked, “… what did you say?”
Xiao Yu’er added, “You’d rather offer him your body, then to reveal the secret, so obviously you look upon this secret as something more important than your own body.”
Su Ying replied, “He would not dare to kill me, because if he kill me, he can forget about knowing that secret.”
Xiao Yu’er interrupted with a laugh, “I want to hear this secret, and only if he threaten you, will you have no choice but to reveal it. If he’s killed by you, I’m afraid you will never reveal this secret, so I won’t be able to listen to it as well.”
Su Ying stamped her foot, “But since I saved you, can’t it be that I will tell you the secret in future?”
Xiao Yu’er laughed, “That is two different matters. You saw that I was about to die, and you were anxious, only then will you reveal the secret. When I have been saved, you will be worried that I’ll leave, by then you will use this secret to threaten me, and I can’t tell how long will it take before you’re willing to reveal it. How can I wait for so long then.”
He continued with a loud laugh, “To tell you the truth, after you save me, I might leave immediately, by then won’t I be unable to know the secret forever, and won’t I be frustrated for the rest of my life.”
These words that he said, even Wei Ma Yi can’t decide if he wants to laugh or cry when he heard them, and Su Ying is naturally so furious she is about to burst. She shouted, “Since this secret is so important, if you hear about it, how could he let you off. You… you think of yourself as the world’s smartest person, but why didn’t you think of this point.”
Xiao Yu’er laughed loudly, “If I can hear Taoist teachings in the morning, then I can die contented in the evening.* I only have to listen to such an exciting secret, it doesn’t matter if I die.”
*From the analects of Confucius
Su Ying looked at Xiao Yu’er, looked at Wei Ma Yi, and suddenly smiled coquettishly, “Interesting, interesting; that there would actually be a person like this, a situation like this in the world. Actually I would not have revealed this secret for anyone at all, but for you…”
Xiao Yu’er asked, “For me, you are willing to divulge?”
Su Ying turned towards Wei Ma Yi, her expression immediately somber, and said slowly, “Actually, even if I tell you the secret to Shifting Flower Grafting Jade, it’s useless as well. Anyway you cannot master it, nor break it…”
Wei Ma Yi have not spoken, but Xiao Yu’er’s expression had changed, and he cried hoarsely, “What did you say? The secret to Shifting Flower Grafting jade?"
Su Ying replied, “That’s right, the secret to Shifting Flower Grafting Jade, is also the greatest secret in the martial arts realm. He and his Teacher, because of this secret, have never had a good meal or a good rest for the past twenty years.
Xiao Yu’er stared hard and said, “You… you know the secret to Shifting Flower Grafting Jade?”
Wei Ma Yi is already getting impatient, and he shouted, “As long as you tell me, it’s my business if I can master it or not.”
Su Ying replied, “Fine, listen well…”
Before she could finish her sentence, Xiao Yu’er suddenly shouted, “Heaven and Earth, by the imperial edict of the Jade Emperor, the Bodhisattva Guan Yin with her willow stalk and bottle, together with the King of Hell, Cow Head and Horse Face, come and save me quickly!”
He was screaming and yelling, shouting and crying. Whatever Su Ying said, Wei ma Yi can’t hear a single word at all, and with a large step towards him, he roared, “Are you crazy?”
Xiao Yu’er made a monkey face at him and grinned, “I’m not crazy, it’s just that I have no wish to listen to this secret already.” Once he said these words, Su Ying was stunned again.
Wei Ma Yi was livid and roared, “You actually tried everything to listen to this secret, and now that the secret of Shifting Flower Grafting Jade is about to be revealed, even death would be worth it. And now why do you not want to listen to it anymore?”
Xiao Yu’er smiled, “Other secrets I might want to listen, but as for the secret of Shifting Flower Grafting Jade… heh heh, I knew it since I was three, so it won’t be interesting if I hear it again.”
Wei ma Yi was stunned, “You… you know it as well?”
Xiao Yu’er said, “This secret, if revealed by Su Ying, you can forget about mastering it even if you practiced until you are 100 years old. Besides, you may not even live beyond 50.”
Su Ying giggled, “The words are quite true.”
Xiao Yu’er added, “But if the secret is revealed by me, you will be able to master it within three days, because what I know, is the shortcut to Shifting Flower Grafting Jade.”
Wei Ma Yi’s face heated up on hearing this, and can’t help but ask, “If you can really divulge it, I…”
Xiao Yu’er replied with a straight face, “I don’t need your gratitude, I only want you to release me.”
Wei Ma Yi agreed, “Yes, yes, yes, I will certainly…”
Xiao Yu’er interrupted, “Fine, listen well, you will practice as I speak.”
“The technique of Shifting Flower Grafting Jade, the first step is to use your hands as feet, and stand upside down. Lift your head, open your knees and breath calmly.”
Wei Ma Yi asked with furrowed brows, “What kind of martial arts is that?”
Xiao Yu’er replied with a straight face, “You have to know, the greatest thing about Shifting Flower Grafting Jade, is that everything is in reverse, so the posture for practicing it, naturally must be that way as well.”
Although Wei Ma Yi was still doubtful, but as long as he can master Shifting Flower Grafting Jade, he really does not mind sacrificing everything. As long as there is a slight chance, he will not give up. Su Ying watched from the side pouting, not talking as well.
Wei Ma Yi straightened his body, and was already upside down, his legs slightly apart, his head lifted high, looking exactly like a toad.
Xiao Yu’er looked with a straight face, not a trace of a smile can be seen at all, commenting, “Bend your knees a little further, lift your head a little higher.”
Wei Ma Yi was really quite obedient, and immediately followed the instructions, asking, “Is this all right?”
Xiao Yu’er said, “More or less, just make do with it.” After he said this, he did not continue.
Although Wei Ma Yi’s internal strength is profound, but this pose is really killing. No matter how highly skilled a person is, while in such a pose, they will definitely feel the strain.
After a while, Wei Ma Yi’s head was sweating, and he can’t help but ask, “How much longer must I wait?”
Xiao Yu’er said, “All right, now your inner energy has sunk to your chest, you can consider the first step prepared. Before you start on the second step, let out a fart first.”
Wei Ma Yi angrily replied, “I think you’re bull shitting.”
Although he is stunned and furious, but because he feared that the preparation will all be in naught, he dared not stand up.
Xiao Yu’er said, “You must know, farts are bad gasses in a person’s body. I want you to fart, because I want you to force out the bad gasses in your body first, before you can start practicing martial arts.”
