Chapter 21: Or should I help you?

  Meng Chao Ran, as Shi Qian Shan's master, how could he not come out and take a look at this matter? But now, he is filled with disappointment.

  Master Meng Chaoran taught his apprentices with a principle: do your own things by yourself. You can't succeed without my help, but you must try to do it first. This is Master Meng's principle.

  If Shi Qianshan had even a bit of backbone, a bit of masculine blood, and could really engage in a physical fight with the opponent, Meng Chaoran would immediately stand up for his disciple.

  Even directly hitting the door of Second Master, Meng Chaoran can do it. Your son was beaten and needs to find a place, does my apprentice being beaten mean he's been white-washed?

  Meng Chao Ran is ready.

  But seeing Shi Qianshan being so cowardly, for the sake of survival, he would rather be beaten than fight back! Such a lack of backbone, even if he has deep schemes, what's the use? If one day a strong enemy comes to attack, won't he surrender and betray his own side?

  Enduring humiliation and bearing heavy burdens must also have its limits!

  I can stick my neck out for you, but you have to be worth it. I can protect you for a while, but not forever. Everything else still requires you to take charge and make your own way! This is the method and philosophy of Master Meng Chaoran's teaching his apprentices, though unfeeling, yet suitable for this... Jianghu!

  Bloodiness, bravery! Although these two are often said to be the cause of death for young people who are hot-blooded and impulsive, what can never be denied is that without these two qualities, it's impossible to become a strong person even if one lives for ten thousand years!

  Blood and courage may be a pity, but they are indispensable conditions for becoming a generation of strong people!

  As for Shi Qianshan this disciple, Meng Chao Ran suddenly felt extremely disappointed. He simply didn't care anymore...

  In the midst of the purple bamboo forest, on the opposite side of Meng Chao Ran's direction, there were also two people with gloomy faces watching this farce in the arena. These two people turned out to be... Wu Yun Liang, the master of Tian Wai Lou, and Kong Jing Feng, the master of Meng Yun Peak?! How did they end up here? And why were they watching a group of younger generation's fight with such relish?

  If Chu Yang knew these two were here, he would definitely be extremely surprised!

  Looking at Shi Qianshan lying on the ground like a rotten mud, covered in blood, unconscious, Qu Ping and Liu Yunyan suddenly felt very uninteresting. They thought that Shi Qianshan was so arrogant, daring to hit Li Jianyun, it must be a fierce battle.

  Who would have thought that a large group of people came with great fanfare, but they encountered such a coward, and were actually beaten by the crowd without fighting back!

  He was also worried about being held accountable if he beat him to death, so he prepared to leave.

  Turning around, just about to head back, a voice suddenly drawled: "Hey, what's up, you guys are leaving just like that?"

  Liu Yunyan and others stopped in their tracks.

  All he heard was the man saying: "Cough, cough, you eight brothers and sisters, fighting against Shi Qianshan alone, yet suffered such a great loss... just leaving like this doesn't seem quite right?"

  Liu Yunyan suddenly turned around, his eyes coldly staring at the person speaking, and said in a gloomy tone: "You... have an opinion?"

  The other seven people also turned around, looking at the young man who suddenly appeared, all of whom were somewhat astonished. Just now, when he was scolding Shi Qianshan in front of him, he didn't make a sound, how come now that things are done, he's coming out?

  Do you want to get beaten up too?

  Chu Yang smiled gently and said: "Brother Qu came to my Purple Bamboo Garden, but suffered such a great loss. I feel very uneasy in my heart..."

  His normally indifferent face suddenly revealed a warm and gentle smile, making him look elegant. Tan Zhang's mouth was agape as he stared at Chu Yang's smiling face, as if he had seen a ghost.

  My goodness, it's been over a decade, and today I finally saw Chu Yang smile... This life is not in vain... Tan Tang's heart surged with emotions, feeling sentimental and poetic, having an urge to compose a poem at this moment...

  Liu Yunyan and others were suffocating for a moment.

  Just now, these eight people beat Shi Qianshan brutally, almost to death, but they all claimed that they were at a disadvantage. It seemed as if Shi Qianshan had bullied them alone. Now, Chu Yang, as a member of the Purple Bamboo Garden, also dared to speak nonsense with his eyes open, reversing black and white, following their words, making them feel extremely depressed!

  Chu Yang came out, not to take the lead for Shi Qian Shan, if this thing happened somewhere else, he would only be cold-eyed and leave after patting his butt. But, it happened in Purple Bamboo Garden, Chu Yang couldn't let them go!

  This is Master's territory, Meng Chaoran's face!

  The disciples of Ju Yunfeng beat up the eldest disciple of Meng Haoran in the Purple Bamboo Garden, and then walked away as if nothing had happened... If this matter gets out, it's easy to imagine what kind of blow Meng Haoran's reputation will suffer.

  Of course, Meng Chao Ran would never care about these things, but Chu Yang couldn't help but care!

  In his past life and this life, Meng Chaoran has always been one of the people that Chu Yang respects the most.

  Shi Qianshan has been beaten according to his own plan, so next is the time for him to counterattack! These people came to Zizhuyuan to beat someone, and they must pay the price!

  In Chu Yang's view, this was completely different from their fight at Shi Zhen Shan.

  I wonder if this counts as killing the donkey after unloading the millstone? Chu Yang asked himself in his heart, feeling a bit unjust, and couldn't help but touch his nose...

  Alas, it's not local... then it's not local, killing the donkey after grinding the millstone, they're just a bunch of donkeys anyway...

  Besides, I can use the Stone Mountain to block the disaster, but now the situation is that I must get the sword tip of the Nine Calamity Sword in the shortest time! That means I have to step on these people to rise up!

  Since we will step on it sooner or later, what's wrong with stepping on it a little earlier?

  "What do you mean?" Liu Yunyan waved his hand to stop the movements of his fellow disciples, looking at Chu Yang with a gaze. This little guy in front of him was at most only a second or third-level martial artist, not even worth a glance! What kind of tricks could someone like this play? It's completely unnecessary to take him seriously.

  "What I mean is that this is Zizhuyuan! Not... Suoyunfeng!" Chu Yang and He Xiang smiled, but their eyes emitted a sharp light like the edge of a knife.

  "It's Zizhuyuan... what about it?" Liu Yunyan hummed.

  "You are from Suoyun Peak, although we all belong to the same sect, Suoyun Peak is still Suoyun Peak, and Zizhu Garden is still Zizhu Garden!" Chu Yang said calmly: "You came to Zizhu Garden and caused such a commotion, did any of your seniors in the sect give you permission?"

  "What's the big deal?" Qu Ping glared, saying: "We're just here to exchange blows with Shi Qian Shan, our junior fellow disciple. Isn't it normal for fellow disciples to exchange blows?"

  "Right, just a quarrel! Just a quarrel." The rest of the people shouted in unison, and these two words "troublemaker" absolutely cannot be pinned on their heads.

  "Sparring... According to the rules of Tianwai Building, when fellow disciples spar, an elder from the sect must be present. Now that we are sparring, where is our sect's elder?" Chu Yang sneered: "Tianwai Building regulations state that when fellow disciples spar, in order to motivate them to strive harder, an elder must hold a ranking list and change it on the spot; where is the ranking list? Tianwai Building regulations also state that when disciples from different sects but same school spar, there must be a contract; where is the contract?"

  "You..." Qi Ping's words stuck in his throat.

  They came this time, knowing that Meng Haoran was in the Purple Bamboo Garden. At that time, as long as they reported to Meng Haoran and made a request for advice, it would be considered as having an elder present. Everything else would also go smoothly.

  And it can also earn a great reputation for Su Yunfeng: Look, although we are nominally sparring, in fact, it is to vent for my junior brother, but the location is chosen in the Purple Bamboo Garden, and the only senior fellow who observes is Meng Shu. Everything takes place under his eyes... Open and aboveboard!

  And Li Jianyun suffered such a great loss and returned, if Su Yunfeng didn't react, that would be abnormal.

  But when they arrived, they found that only Chu Yang and the other two were present. After a few words, they started fighting, but now that the fight is over, one of them has come out to demand that everything be done according to the rules...

  Nowadays, without elders present, this matter cannot be justified no matter what.

  "Nonsense! Today's matter, it was Shi Qianshan who provoked and beat up Qu Shixiong, Qu Shixiong defended himself and counterattacked...!" One of the young men shouted out loudly.

  Chu Yang coldly looked at him and said: "If that's the case, then Brother Qu has been injured? Is his injury severe?"

  "Of course!" The young man's face turned red, but he said stubbornly: "Look, Brother Qu has injuries on his waist and chest, and his whole body is covered in wounds..."

  "Oh? So that's what you mean... Today isn't a training day?" Chu Yang playfully tilted his head: "Your face is so red, what guilty thoughts are you having?"

  "Nature... Nature is not tempering..." Qu Ping said with a stiff face.

  They were all in agreement, just now shouting that it was a spar, but under Chu Yang's sharp words, they immediately backpedaled and became not a spar...

  "So you'll be saying the same thing when you go back?" Chu Yang asked with a smile.

  "That's only natural, to tell the truth! Our master has been as kind to us as a mountain, how could we possibly deceive him." Heaven have mercy, Chi Ping's face finally turned red when he said this.

  "But isn't this a bit inappropriate? You see, you've suffered such a huge loss, yet there's not even a scratch on your body. It's really hard to convince others of that." Chu Yang said sincerely: "Qu Master, otherwise, let me help you?"

  "Can you help me?" Qu Ping's pupils constricted: "How can you help me?"

  "I can help you with that, just get a few wounds on your body." Chu Yang smiled sincerely: "Qu Master, I'm thinking of you, if you go back and they don't see any injuries on you, they'll definitely think you're lying. In that case, you'll have to be punished, so why not let me give you a few light sword cuts, a few gentle punches, and a few soft kicks... what do you say?"

  "Hahaha......" Qu Ping burst out laughing, looking at Chu Yang with a scornful gaze: "So you're Chu Yang? When we came, Li Shidi repeatedly warned us that we could deal with Shi Qian Shan, but we had to leave Chu Yang for him. Hehe, so I let you off... Now, you actually want to help me? Hmph, with your insignificant skills, how can you possibly help me?"

  "Whether or not it's helpful, we'll have to try. Chu Yang and Xue said: "Maybe Master Qu will suddenly have a seizure and stand still, letting me hit him... wouldn't that be an easy thing?"

  Qu Ping's gloomy face suddenly smiled, and he slowly said: "I am Tianwai Building, Baifengyiyuan has 796 male and female disciples. Every year, there is a ranking. Although I, Qu Ping, am not talented, but I also ranked nineteenth. And you, Chu Yang, please ask yourself what rank are you?"

  Vote for me at dawn and rush to the top of the chart.
