Chapter 19 Just for the sake of talking
He listened to what the Ghost Hand King said.
Li Cunzhen was speechless.
He had only met Ghost Hand King for the first time, so why was he so eager to pass on his family's secret techniques to him?
Is he so desperate for his apprentice that he's gone mad?
Or is he just missing my master so much that he's gone crazy?
Li Cunzhen looked up at the sky. The fiery red sun had already moved several degrees to the west. Calculating the time, more than an hour had passed since he sent someone to deliver a message to his master.
If nothing unexpected happens, Master should already know about the appearance of the Ghost Hand King.
With his stamina, he could get here in a quarter of an hour.
But after all, his master didn't know his and Li Muxuan's location, and the village was remote. Even if the Sanyi Sect had great influence in this area, it would still take some effort to find them.
It seems this has turned upside down in all directions.
I really have no choice but to learn it.
Well, he's not an old-fashioned stubborn person, so I think he'll understand.
However, being tied up like that is really not pleasant.
They couldn't beat him in a fight. Ghost Hand King was a grandmaster, after all, and his "Reversing Eight Directions" technique had reached a state of perfection.
But it's okay to just talk about it.
Thinking of this.
Li Cunzhen stomped his feet on the solid ground.
Then he cupped his hands in greeting to Ghost Hand King.
"Senior Wang, since you've put it this way, I'll tell you the truth: my brother and I can learn this skill from you. But before we start, we have a few things to say, otherwise we won't be happy."
"You must promise me that you will not lay a hand on me because of these few words."
"Of course, if you don't agree, there's nothing I can do. But if you do agree, I will not only learn from you, but I will also treat your skills as if they were passed down from my own master."
Upon hearing this, Ghost Hand King glanced at Li Cunzhen with great interest.
"Oh? You're quite interesting, kid. Alright, I agree."
To be honest, he was quite worried that the Li brothers would outwardly comply with his wishes but inwardly disagree, appearing to be studying but not truly putting their minds to it.
Moreover, he wouldn't even realize it, since only the person involved knows about such things.
Now Li Cunzhen has taken the initiative to propose this condition.
Let him say a few words, and then Li Cunzhen will seriously learn the craft from me.
value!
Moreover, Li Cunzhen is a disciple of the Sanyi Sect, so there's no need to worry about him breaking his promise.
Ghost Hand King couldn't think of a reason to refuse.
After all, they grew up together, and Li Muxuan immediately guessed what Li Cunzhen wanted to do, giving him a thumbs up.
"Heh! You've got a trick up your sleeve. I've been holding my breath for a while now."
He then turned to look at Ghost Hand King.
"Old man, I also have a few words to say, the conditions are the same."
Ghost Hand King nodded.
"Okay, go ahead and tell me. I promise you won't die."
Li Muxuan, hands on his hips, didn't hold back and immediately began to attack.
"Old Wang, what did you say your identity was again?"
"All-Stars, is that right?"
"Never even heard of it. Choosing such a godforsaken place as a base—is their reputation so bad they're ashamed to show their faces?"
"You bunch of cowardly cowards have the nerve to compare yourselves to the Trinity Sect."
"Pah! Shameless!"
After Li Muxuan unleashed his attack, a deathly silence fell over the surrounding area.
It wasn't that I was scolded or anything.
After all, most people in the Quanxing sect know their own reputation, and they've heard things that are ten or a hundred times worse.
I just didn't expect this kid to be so bold.
Knowing full well that they were not good people, they still dared to offend them like this.
After a brief moment of stunned silence, the other members of Quanxing looked at Ghost Hand King with slight dissatisfaction.
You say you're just playing around, but the rest of us are being scolded because of you.
If it weren't for the people you brought, who dared to speak like that, we would have torn that brat's mouth to shreds long ago.
Of course, these people only dared to complain in their hearts.
After all, even if they combined their strength, they wouldn't be a match for Ghost Hand King.
They knew Ghost Hand King's temper; since he had promised not to kill them, he would never go back on his word, even if he got angry.
Just when the rest of the Quanxing thought they had been scolded for nothing...
"You brat, you're asking for it!"
The burly man behind the village girl suddenly spoke up.
He already had a fierce and menacing appearance, and now he spoke with murderous intent. The scene would instill fear not only in children under ten years old, but also in adults.
But the Li brothers only gave him a lukewarm look.
Even the other members of the Quanxing Sect looked at him with disdain.
What an idiot! With Ghost Hand King protecting you, you dare to say such things?
Seeing that he was being ignored, the burly man's anger grew even stronger, and he strode towards Li Muxuan.
"I'm talking to you, are you mute?!"
However, Li Muxuan still ignored him.
The burly man's anger erupted completely. In a flash, he appeared in front of Li Muxuan, ready to attack him.
He was still shouting.
"I'll teach you a lesson right now on behalf of Old Wang!"
But before he could finish speaking, he was still in mid-air.
The next moment, Ghost Hand King, whose face had already turned gloomy, gently raised his hand.
An invisible force appeared and struck the burly man, sending him flying backward and crashing into a large rock.
Then, a pitchfork, seemingly appearing out of nowhere, suddenly flew up and pinned the burly man to a rock, rendering him unable to move.
"Old Wang, what's wrong with you? Put me down!"
The burly man's shoulder was pierced by a pitchfork, and he screamed in pain.
"Who do you think you are? When did it become your place to teach my people a lesson?"
Ghost Hand King gave him a cold laugh and then ignored him.
The other members of Quanxing also watched coldly, showing no intention of helping him out of his predicament.
Then Ghost Hand King looked at Li Muxuan, his eyes showing not anger, but rather a hint of appreciation.
"Good! You have guts. You're worthy of the person I've chosen."
In Ghost Hand King's opinion, there was absolutely nothing wrong with what Li Muxuan said.
Even though he was also a member of the Quanxing sect, he had to admit it.
Quanxing is a bunch of shady characters!
He had made these mental preparations before he joined Quanxing.
Therefore, he was not angry, but instead acknowledged Li Muxuan's courage.
Li Muxuan was speechless upon seeing this.
He said these words to vent his anger, but now that Ghost Hand King has no reaction at all, he feels frustrated.
Not only can I not beat them in a fight, but I can't even win an argument with them.
Now it all depends on how well my brother performs.
Help me vent my anger.
Thinking it over, Li Muxuan and Ghost Hand King both turned their gazes toward Li Cunzhen.
Ghost Hand King spoke.
"And you, what do you want to say?"
Li Cunzhen cupped his hands in a respectful gesture towards Ghost Hand King.
"Senior Wang, I know you have a grudge against my master and want to take revenge on him, but he's not as petty as you think. Your plan is likely to fail."
"It's clear that you resent him day and night, probably even more than Yuan Jingui misses his own wife."
"But my master deals with several people like you every year, so he probably doesn't remember you."
He spoke politely, but the disdain in his eyes was undisguised.
"Do you feel that if we carry your skills with us, he will be angry and feel guilty about it when he sees us in the future?"
"But you're mistaken. Even if I learned your skill, my master would just think, 'What's this 'turning upside down in eight directions'? I've never heard of it. Where did you learn that kind of acrobatics?'"
Li Cunzhen paused at this point, then continued.
"Moreover, if you use such methods to get us to learn your skills, even if they are passed down, we will never acknowledge you as our master."
"You're not getting any younger. Instead of wasting your time with us two brothers, you should find a successor. At least when you're bedridden in a few years, someone will be there to serve you tea and water."
"To avoid ending up with no one to see you off in your final days, and dying a terrible death."
