Zhang San, please behave yourself!

Chapter 515: Chapter 481: Old man meets old man_3

Niu knew there was something mystical about Bi’s eyes, so he took another look at how Zhang San was walking. Indeed, ever since he returned, Zhang San had not taken any large steps, it was always small ones, with frequent stops.

On the surface, he seemed to be joking and laughing with everyone, but in reality, he was probably still injured and pretending to be fine.

"However, I didn’t expect Zhang San to be able to repel Yang Huanshui,"

"Didn’t he borrow your power? Didn’t you know?"

"What my power? I didn’t move just now!"

"But when you kicked out that leg just now, although you used Blade Intent, your power appeared along with it. I saw it, it was definitely your power, no mistake."

Niu shook his head repeatedly, whispering, "Impossible, I wouldn’t lend Zhang San power without knowing it."

At that moment, Niu and Bi both reassessed Zhang San and vaguely sensed something odd.

Meanwhile, a person appeared in the middle of a small mountain to the southeast of Spring Breeze Town.

"Oh boy, what kind of divine skill is Younger Brother Yang practicing? How did he embed his entire body into a rock? I’ve seen plenty standing on mountain peaks to comprehend the universe. But practicing in a rock crevice is indeed rare!"

Just then, Yang Huanshui, who had just extracted his head from the rock, looked at his sarcastically talking old friend and roared angrily, "Yu Jinluo, is this how you treat a brother? I’m already like this, and you don’t help but rather mock me?"

After finishing, Yang Huanshui suddenly realized something and cursed at Yu Jinluo, "Were you just hiding in Spring Breeze Town and watching me be ridiculed?"

"How can you say that! The joke is right at the gate of the Town Martial Office, whether I watch it or not, it’s still a joke!"

"Yu Jinluo! You old sly fox! You are so malicious, you will go bald in the future!"

Upon hearing Yang Huanshui mention hair loss, Yu Jinluo instantly got upset.

"Yang Huanshui, don’t go too far! When Southern Chen was destroyed, I took such a big risk to rescue you and even treated your injuries! Heck, I even accompanied you on matchmaking to avoid you being lonely!"

"But in the end, the old lady chose someone else, didn’t she?"

"That’s a personal charm issue, why are you shouting?"

"Didn’t she run off with some rich old man later?"

After a few arguments between the two old men, a moment of silence ensued.

In the noisy wind, no one spoke.

Only the rustling autumn breeze that killed the leaves off the trees could be heard.

And the sound of stones being cracked open.

Moments later, Yang Huanshui dusted off all the dust on his body and finally turned to look at the position of his right buttock.

After all, he only had his left arm, and he could feel the dust everywhere else but that spot on his right buttock still needed a bit more work.

"A little help."

"Thank you."

"Yu Jinluo, do you have to be so unreasonable?"

"Yang Huanshui, I am your lifesaver!"

"Thank you. Help me pat my butt."

"If I must."

*Pat pat pat...*

The two old men sat on the hillside, looking out over Spring Breeze Town.

Originally, Spring Breeze Town was just a very small village, hardly even a town.

It only developed to its current size over a few decades because it served as a logistical supply station for both the Lingwu Army and the Shuofang Army, and due to the escalating conflicts with the Tujue, martial artists also settled here.

"Speaking of my rebellious disciple, you know about it. I later had someone investigate, and he sure did collude with the Tujue martial artists, betraying the martial artists of Great Sui in exchange for more cultivation resources and benefits. Zhang San killed him justly!"

After a long silence, Yu Jinluo sighed and said, breaking the quiet air,

"Ah—actually, I also know that even if I really smash the Town Martial Office’s northern outpost on the Longyun Path, my arm won’t come back. But I... I just can’t accept it!"

Yu Jinluo patted his old friend’s shoulder, giving a bitter smile, "We’re already half buried into the ground, what’s there to accept or not accept?"

"Yu Jinluo, you’re old, I’m still young. I am younger than you by a whole half month!"

"Yes, yes! You are young, okay!"

Yang Huanshui felt as if Yu Jinluo was patronizing him like a child, and he turned to look at Yu Jinluo.

"Do you know what’s really special about Zhang San? Being able to reach the Spiritual Platform Realm at his age is impressive, but not unique. But to comprehend Might in the True Core Realm is quite unusual. He also realized Blade Intent. Even just entering the Spiritual Platform Realm, he could discover the Lung Divine Treasure and fully awaken the Divine Aspect within it,"

Having said this, Yang Huanshui looked at Yu Jinluo next to him and added, "I would believe it if you said he was Li Moxian’s disciple."

Yu Jinluo said with a smile, "I also had people look into Zhang San. He rose up from Chuan-Yu Road, approachable and with many friends, but always seems to get involved in very controversial matters."

"What controversies?"

"On Chuan-Yu Road, people say he killed his own superior, an officer surnamed Bai."

"Kaihuang had ordered them to escort officials accused of corruption from Chuan-Yu Road to the capital, but along the way, all these officials were killed by ghosts, not a single one was left."

"Arrived in the Capital to investigate the Floating Corpse Case, only to be accused by the killer that he was the mastermind behind it, his true identity being the Saint Heir of the Heavenly Punishment Sect!"

"Now he’s been sent to the Northern Army, and what he’s been up to since he arrived, you probably know as well."

After hearing all this, Yang Huanshui felt he understood Zhang San even less than before.

After a moment of thought, Yang Huanshui stood up from the ground and said, "No! We just had a literature combat earlier, and he hit me three times; by rights, I should hit him three times too. Though I know it’s wrong for me to bully the younger, if Yang Huanshui lets this slide after being flung away by a junior, it’s too embarrassing!"
