The liveliest place in Chang'an has to be the Wanhua tower in front of me.
I've heard from my master that the girls here are all stunning. If he weren't so old, I'd challenge him to a fight without hesitation.
Is what he said really that good? I'll go take a look today.
I straightened my clothes, opened the fan, and was about to approach when I heard the sound of a teacup shattering in front, accompanied by a roar.
"Are you trying to die? Do you believe I'll just cut you down with one swipe?"
This bald-headed punk, how dare he speak such nonsense?
I frowned and approached to investigate.
In the crowd stood three burly men, facing off against a weak-looking scholar. Although he was thin and weak, his back was straight, and his eyes showed no fear of the strong.
The voice is clear and pleasant, and the words are articulate.
"After drinking tea, not paying for the tea, where is this a rule?"
He was dressed in green clothes, with lips painted red, and his narrow phoenix eyes were slightly squinted. He looked quite handsome.
The big man sneered, "My rules!"
The scholar continued, "Under the heavens, all land is ruled by kings. Since when did it become your set rule? If there are rules, they should be followed. If everyone acted like you..."
The big man, clearly impatient, sneered and drew the knife from his waist, then swung it towards the scholar. I drew my sleeve sword, leaped forward, and narrowly blocked the strike, then swiftly kicked him hard in the waist.
He was kicked back two steps and stood firm, angry.
"Who the hell are you?"
I smiled gently while waving the fan, "Young master doesn't change his name, nor his surname. In the martial arts world, he is known as Bai Sui Shan."
The big man was stunned for a moment, "Who are you trying to fool? Everyone knows that Bai Sui Shan is someone over fifty years old. With your appearance, how could you be Bai Sui Shan?"
I rolled my eyes and took out two white mist pills from my waist, throwing them into the air, then grabbed the scholar and ran.
"Ah, I am his disciple."
I ran all the way until I crossed two streets and couldn't see the big man's figure anymore. I stopped, the scholar was already panting heavily, which made me laugh.
"Is this all you've got?"
He leaned against the wall, breathing heavily.
"Th-thank you... thank you for saving me, young master."
"You are so frail, how dare you challenge that big man?"
He stood up, cupped his hands and said, "If everyone is timid and cowardly, what righteousness is left in this world? If I stand by and do nothing today, how am I any different from those bystanders?"
I can't help but admire this seemingly weak scholar. In our travels, we value righteousness the most, and this scholar indeed has a sense of chivalry. He is worth teaching, he is worth teaching.
He continued, "If it weren't for the young master's rescue today, I might have been in great danger. The grace of saving my life should be repaid like a gushing spring, if the young master..."
I waved my hand to interrupt him and said, "No need to worry, it's just a small matter."
He clasped his hands and said, "That won't do. If the hero needs my help in the future, just give the order, and I will definitely go through fire and water without hesitation!"
"You're so long-winded, I'm leaving."
The scholar shouted from behind, "Sir, you haven't told me your name yet!"
I turned my head and happened to collide with his clear eyes, elegant like mist, and shining brightly. I withdrew my gaze, suppressing the sudden panic in my heart, and almost fled from there quickly.
"We will meet again if it's meant to be."
It was just a small matter, I helped out without thinking much of it.
I'm a little upset that I didn't make it to Wanhua tower.
While the master was napping, I secretly went to Wanhua tower again. As soon as I entered, a person flew towards me, and I instinctively caught them.
Upon closer inspection, it's this scholar again?
The madam swayed her hips as she walked over: "Oh my, did I startle you, guest?"
The scholar was very happy: "Young hero, we meet again!"
I calmly let go of his hand, wanting to pretend that I didn't know him, but he tightly grabbed my sleeve and said, "Young hero! They are forcibly taking the village girls! I saw it with my own eyes!"
I just want to visit a flower tower, why is it so difficult?
I covered my forehead and said, "Please explain in detail."
After understanding the situation, it's Wanhua tower snatching girls to do some dirty business. I suddenly regret coming to this Wanhua tower. Every time I come here, I have to deal with this scholar, and it's never a good thing when I encounter him.
I draw my long sword and place it across the door.
"This person, you'd better hand him over willingly."
The madam sneered, "I thought he was just a guest. Turns out he's in cahoots with this poor scholar. If you want him, bring silver to redeem him!"
The scholar stepped forward and said, "You are bullying people too much! Did you only give her family one or two silver coins for capturing her?"
The madam disdainfully glanced at the scholar and said, "Take him away."
