Chapter 545 - 304: Celestial Sound Mansion’s Liu Family!?
Chapter 545: Chapter 304: Celestial Sound Mansion’s Liu Family!?
Yu Shiliu was taken aback, not with joy, but with caution.
She was not a pampered child from an ordinary family. Although she may not understand much grand philosophy, she knew that there was no such thing as a free lunch.
This woman who appeared suddenly was probably not someone good...
But what did she want from her?
While doubting in her heart, she showed no sign on her face. Instead, with a look of delight, she said:
"Senior, are you serious?"
"Silly child, with my status, how could I deceive you?"
The woman spoke indifferently, with an air of superiority in her words.
Yet the joy on Yu Shiliu’s face slightly diminished, showing some reluctance:
"But I already have a mentor, and I haven’t even learned the Secret Technique my teacher taught me. How dare I take another as my master?"
"Not forgetting your mentorship shows sentiment and righteousness."
The woman slowly approached Yu Shiliu, her eyes full of satisfaction.
She suddenly changed the tone:
"However, the so-called Secret Technique you’re talking about... is indeed a bit exaggerated.
"Forgive me for being blunt, but your teacher probably doesn’t care much for you. The Martial Arts he taught you are truly... mediocre!"
"What?"
Yu Shiliu was utterly astonished, then furious:
"I respect you as a senior, but don’t spout nonsense and slander my teacher!"
This attitude was not entirely a performance; at least the anger was genuine.
It’s important to know that Chu Qing taught her the Dragon Claw Hand, and in explaining the technique, there was a move used against that Xu Zhen.
Xu Zhen, praised highly by Wang Kuan, was known by Yu Shiliu to possess formidable Martial Arts.
Yet such a person was completely powerless under this Claw Technique.
This clearly showed how brilliant this Martial Arts is!
Why is this person slandering it? What is her motive?
"Don’t believe it?"
The woman let out a cold laugh:
"If you don’t believe it, feel free to use this technique against me. I can break it with one hand."
Yu Shiliu’s anger mounted, but just as she was about to make a move, she suddenly felt a chill in her heart.
Something’s off!
She knew very well that she was not someone with exceptional talent, certainly not good enough to make someone ignore their status and eagerly take her as a disciple.
Earlier, she had thought that this woman must have an agenda.
But what could she possibly want?
The only thing worth mentioning about herself... was the Martial Arts personally taught by Chu Qing!
She wants to trick me into revealing the Dragon Claw Hand!!
Suddenly, Yu Shiliu realized that she, being a novice, had not yet mastered the technique. Using this half-baked Dragon Claw Hand against someone whose strength was unknown would surely not succeed.
Instead, it might allow the other party to see the Martial Arts in its entirety.
Who knows how long she had been secretly watching, and if they engaged in a fight and she learned everything... what would she do then?
She was filled with indecision.
Although she was somewhat cunning, she didn’t know what to do at this moment.
However, when the woman saw Yu Shiliu not making a move, her expression turned slightly cold:
"What? Not going to make a move?"
Yu Shiliu not only didn’t make a move but also took a step back.
Sure enough, the woman’s expression changed again, followed by a cold laugh:
"You know your skills are crude and insignificant? So you dare not embarrass yourself in front of others?"
"You... stop talking nonsense!"
"Then why haven’t you made a move?"
"I..."
Yu Shiliu had words in her heart but dared not speak.
She could only angrily stare at the woman:
"Although I don’t know who you really are, I tell you that my master’s Martial Arts are unmatched. This technique is directly taught by my master, and he is nearby now.
"If you dare to act recklessly, my master will be here in no time!"
"Hahaha."
The woman couldn’t help but laugh loudly:
"You child, even when lying, you don’t put in the effort. There’s only a caravan around here, with either geriatrics or young men too inexperienced.
"You say your master is among them? So then, tell me, which one is your master?
"Is it the old man? He’s probably too feeble to be my opponent.
"As for the young ones... hmph, if you called them over, you’d be leading him to his death!
"You’re quite a clever little girl for your age. Are you hesitant to make a move because you’ve realized that I want to get your Claw Technique?
"I advise you to hand it over honestly, and once I’ve got the Martial Arts, I’ll leave.
"Otherwise... I’ll take you away, and then you’ll have nowhere to call for help. I have ways to make you talk!"
"You!!"
Seeing this woman tear off her facade, Yu Shiliu felt an urgent stir in her heart.
Although she had every confidence in Chu Qing, hearing the woman’s words, she still felt uneasy.
Her experience was too shallow to know what kind of expert was in the Martial World.
The woman appeared inscrutable, perhaps even superior to Chu Qing—what should she do then?
If she called for help, wouldn’t that put Chu Qing in danger?
But if she didn’t... how could she escape?
She was filled with indecision, feeling cornered.
"Looks like you’re refusing a toast, only to drink a forfeit!"
Having said that, she reached out to grab Yu Shiliu.
However, as Yu Shiliu saw her move, she instinctively shifted her body out of the way, narrowly avoiding the grab, and was startled.
It seemed that while the woman’s move was fast, it was not without a trace. Following her intuition, Yu Shiliu dodged it... but she didn’t stay in place to celebrate. Instead, she quickly turned and prepared to sprint far away.
