76 – people of jianghu

ON JANUARY 17, 2022 BY MOONCHILDKHZ

If the system had a value for acting cool, Jun Changxiao’s words from a moment ago would have skyrocketed his existing balance.

Unfortunately, that wasn’t such a thing. 

The Great Red Gate’s elder was twitching hearing the ‘really disappointing this Lord’. 

Although Jun Changxiao was acting cool, his disciples had taken over the top 4, so he had the capability to act cool.

Especially thinking back to when he had first sat down and said that the Ironbone Sect disciples were only stepping-stones… his cheeks felt a burning pain. 

Apologies.

Every participant in this time’s competition was a stepping-stone for the Ironbone Sect. 

At this time, it must be said that the most tragic were the Xiao Family, because the one they regarded as waste had just become the champion. 

“The expelled descendant actually became champion, I fear the Xiao Family never imagined this.”

“At this time, their intestines must be twisting blue with regret.”

“Xiao Zuiji’s matter tells us that even if a genius falls, they will still have the possibility of staging a comeback!”

“This is the definition of thirty years the river flows east, thirty years later the river flows west.”

…

The Xiao Family Great Elder clearly heard the discussion of the others, his blood boiling and hands shaking. 

If Jun Changxiao hadn’t lifted his gun, he might have actually rushed over and killed Xiao Zuiji. 

“Cough, cough!” Liyang City Lord appeared on the central stage and spoke in a clear and resonant voice. “This Sect Martial Arts Competition has ended, the champion is the Ironbone Unyielding Sect’s Xiao Zuiji!”

Then, under the gaze of the public, he handed Xiao Zuiji the ordinary-grade advanced martial skill and ten crystal core like things.

“Spirit stones?” Jun Changxiao murmured. 

From the original’s memory, he learned that Falling Star Continent had a stone that contained boundless spiritual power which could be used for cultivation, called a spirit stone. 

Spirit stones were mined from the mineral veins and cultivators could cultivate using it. Each stone was worth about 10,000 silver taels, so it could be considered quite precious.

“Tsk tsk.” Jun Changxiao said, “Didn’t expect that winning the championship meant spirit stones as a reward.”

The system responded, [Otherwise, who would participate?]

That is so logical that I have no response.

…

Under the envious gazes of many, Xiao Zuiji accepted the skill book and spirit stones, returning with his martial brothers.

Jun Changxiao had already arrived and smiled, “My darlings, good work.”

The corners of the listeners’ mouths twitched, goosebumps immediately appearing.

Jun Changxiao leaned on Xiao Zuiji’s shoulder, smoothly taking the skill book and spirit stones. “To celebrate winning the championship, this Lord decided to bring you to the best restaurant!”

“Let’s drink!” cheered Tian Qi.

“Let’s go, let’s go!”

Many martial artists saw Jun Changxiao leading the disciples away, their previously contemptuous gazes now filled with awe.

In a world where strength reigned supreme, it was best to talk with fists.

The five disciples had entered the top 4, using their fists to warn the people not to look down on the ninth-grade Ironbone Unyielding Sect!

“Hateful!”

The Xiao Family elders exited from another place and saw the Ironbone Sect swaggering off, their eyes gleaming with hatred.

At this moment, some family’s patriarch came over and humbly said, “Congratulations to the Xiao Family for winning the competition.”

“Aiya,” he smacked his forehead, back-tracking. “I forgot, I forgot, Xiao Zuiji has already been expelled, he hasn’t been part of the Xiao Family for five years.”

A Xiao Family elder angrily retorted, “Song Shizhen, you’re speaking so cynically, are you here to fight?”

Several others also fiercely glared.

They were already angry, but this guy had come to intentionally antagonize them. They couldn’t bear it!

“I spoke thoughtlessly, everyone do not mind, do not mind,” Song Shizhen apologized, cupping his fists as he said farewell.

When he passed a group of people, they teased, “Elder Song, the Xiao Family is very annoyed right now, weren’t your words just pouring salt on their wounds?”

Song Shizhen sighed, “Oh, I really forgot.”

“Speaking of, Xiao Zuiji trained his physical body to such a degree in the past five years, the Xiao Family really made a huge blunder.”

“In my opinion, just wait until the news of Xiao Zuiji becoming champion spreads. The Xiao Family will be treated as a laughingstock again.”

The various experts couldn’t care less about how the Xiao Feeling felt, discussing as they walked away.

“Hateful!”

The Xiao Family elders were in an uncontrollable rage. 

The Xiao Family Great Elder had not spoken, only watching Xiao Zuiji leave with a dark and murderous look. 

Five years ago, that woman had broken the engagement, the Xiao Family degenerated into a laughingstock. 

Five years later, Xiao Zuiji won the championship, and the Xiao Family would become a laughingstock once more. 

This was hard to endure; it really could not be endured!

…

“Come!” In Liyang City’s best restaurant, Jun Changxiao was holding a bowl up as he said, “We did it!”

Saying that, he tilted the bowl back and chugged the liquor. 

Li Qingyang, Su Xiaomo, Tian Qi, and Xiao Zuiji also downed a bowl each. 

Lu Qianqian did not drink, calmly eating on the side.

“Shit!”

“This dish is so disgusting!”

“Can’t be compared to Dudu’s at all!”

After eating the food prepared by Liu Wanshi, the meals made by ordinary chefs tasted like coarse grain and were hard to swallow. 

Ah.

They had been spoiled.

Tian Qi held up his bowl, “Without Sect Head, I, Tian Qi, would just be a medicinal herb. This bowl of liquor Disciple dedicates to you!”

Saying that, he downed the bowl.

His disciple won the championship, representing the pride of the Ironbone Sect, and completing the epic mission, Jun Changxiao was also happy. Therefore, he also drank one bowl. 

Su Xiaomo then lifted his bowl and grinned. “Perhaps without Sect Head, I, Su Xiaomo, would be some outer disciple in another sect. This bowl of liquor Disciple dedicates to you!”

Jun Changxiao’s lip curled up. “You must be trying to get this Lord drunk.”

Just as he drank one bowl with Su Xiaomo, Li Qingyang stood up and said, “I am very lucky to have met Sect Head and to have joined the Ironbone Sect, being in the same sect as you all. This bowl of liquor is dedicated to Sect Head, Senior Sister, and junior brothers.”

Worthy of being from a family clan, his words were eloquent. 

“Drink up!”

Jun Changxiao held the liquor bottle up, expressing that all were welcome. 

Since all his senior brothers had already given a toast, Xiao Zuiji also stood up. “Sect Head, I am poor with words and don’t know what to say, but this bowl of liquor is dedicated to you!”

Gudu, gudu! (Gulp, gulp.)

The liquor was immediately gulped down and his face flushed. It seemed like the alcohol content was quite high. 

“A group of idiots,” Lu Qianqian commented from the side. 

These people drank for more than an hour in the restaurant, finishing more than two vats of liquor. The five people ended up all drunk. 

Perhaps he had been holding back for a long time, and after releasing it all during the competition, Xiao Zuiji let loose and was found hugging the liquor vat, crying like a child. 

…

Jun Changxiao rested in Liyang City for one night. 

After sobering up, he led the disciples to return. As they walked along the streets, the cultivators who had previously ridiculed them were silent. 

Waste? A garbage sect?

After taking over all the top spots, that was not something they could say. 

Jun Changxiao’s chest was puffed and his head held high as he walked away under the gaze of many. 

However.

About a dozen li (6km) from Liyang City’s boundary, there were several people hiding within the bushes. 

Lu Qianqian and Li Qingyang discovered them, their hands going to their swords and unsheathing them immediately. 

“Ah.” Jun Changxiao joined his hands behind his back and lightly said, “People of Jianghu, why bother speaking half-truths?” [1]

Shua! Shua!

Shortly, a few dozen black-clothed people jumped out from the thick patch of grass, surrounding the group from all sides with murderous intentions. 

Jun Changxiao was astonished. 

“The family’s descendants were beaten and you’re here for revenge so quickly. You make some stupid villains. If I was the protagonist of a novel, the readers would think that I have some halo of intelligence which lowers everyone else’s IQ.”
