Chapter 41: Xuanzi Wins Against Xuanziying

  Xu Hua's shock to the crowd was too great, in the entire Luocheng, there were many young scholars and martial artists who had reached the peak, but no one could achieve great success in both, isn't this saying that the entire Luocheng's younger generation is not as good as a single outsider youth!

  Looking at the young man in the arena, with a resolute expression, being beaten by Uncle Niu Wu, retreating step by step, but refusing to give up, everyone's mentality was different, some had admiration, some had appreciation and respect, and some had resentment.

  "Little kid, what's your name?" Cow Fifth Uncle finally asked after he and Xu Hua parted ways with a palm strike.

  Watching his opponent finally withdraw, Xu Hua let out a deep breath, looking somewhat exhausted, and said: "I am Xu Hua, may I ask if senior will allow me to leave?"

  After a long battle, Xu Hua was extremely exhausted. Although the life force nourished his body, the mental fatigue could not be alleviated. After stopping, he took a few more glances at the five extra people. When he saw Xuan Ziyin, he was slightly stunned, feeling that she looked very familiar, but had no impression, which was really strange. However, he didn't pay much attention to it, as the most important thing now was to leave this place of trouble.

  "Little kid, you really want to leave, it seems your vigilance is quite heavy!" Cow Five Uncle lightly stroked the whiskers on his chin, a hint of displeasure flashing across his face.

  Xu Hua smiled lightly and said, "In heaven and earth, my life is the most important. If I die, I will no longer be able to see this world, and everything familiar will naturally disappear. Therefore, I have never allowed myself to stay in danger for a long time, especially when I am powerless to resist."

  Upon hearing this, everyone was stunned. Chen Feng, Chen Xiang, and Gao Tianci thought to themselves: This person has a strange idea, but after careful consideration, it seems that there is indeed some truth to it.

  As for Xuan Yuan, he muttered: Indeed, it's as strange as what Little Sister said. As for Niu Dajie and Xu Hua, they had a grudge against each other from the start, so naturally they wouldn't bother to carefully ponder his words, only giving him a faint disdain.

  Niu Wushu slightly furrowed his brow, took a deep look at Xu Hua and said: "Your caution is indeed heavy, it seems you've been through a lot. However, not all places are unreasonable, especially in Luocheng where multiple forces balance each other out, 'reason' still occupies a significant position."

  "Indeed, it's just as Uncle Niu said, but the initiative is in the hands of the strong. If the strong are determined not to follow the 'rules', then the lives of the weak will be threatened. Once you're dead, everything is gone, what's the use of posthumous revenge or compensation? When people are no longer around, would they still care about these things? For the sake of one's own life, one can't help but be careful!" As he spoke, Xu Hua closed his eyes slightly, letting his tired spirit rest for a moment.

  Niu Wushu fell silent, for he acknowledged in his heart that everything Xu Hua said was true. As a member of the large family, he had seen such things many times before. Perhaps he wasn't pleased with those people in his heart, but he wouldn't stop them. The benefits disputes among them were too complicated.

  "Xiao You is right, you can go now. The previous incident was my nephew's fault, I hope the grudges between you two can be written off. The Niu family hopes to get along with Xiao You."

  Niu Dajier couldn't believe his ears and didn't want to yield to Xu Hua, so he immediately retorted: "No, Fifth Uncle, we can't let him go!"

  "Big vessel, it seems that these years of indulgence have made you unable to recognize yourself?" Niu Wushu's face sank, and he was extremely displeased in his heart. "What kind of appearance do you still have as a member of the Niu family? Which one of my Niu family members is not a strong and unyielding man? You must remember that our Niu family became the overlord of Luocheng because of our fists, not those sinister plots. As long as we have enough strength to destroy all sinister plots, this time when you return, I want you to reflect on your mistakes."

  Niu Dajie glared at Xu Hua, his face almost spitting fire, but Xu Hua remained calm with his eyes closed, as if Niu Dajie was beneath him. This made Niu even more furious, and he immediately bellowed: "Fifth Uncle, I won't stand for this! If someone bullies me and you don't help me, that's one thing, but to actually help an outsider? I'll have Father judge who's right!"

  He immediately ran out, and Niu Wushu's face became even more gloomy. He didn't expect Niu Dairen to be so incompetent. With a sigh of despair, he finally turned to Xuan Yuan and the others and said: "What are you little guys doing here? Are you also here to see my family's Dairen make a fool of himself?"

  "Uncle Niu misunderstood, we just wanted to meet this young and talented person in front of us." Gao Tianci slightly bowed his hands towards Uncle Niu, and the others also paid their respects. Although the five families had been secretly competing with each other countless times, on the surface they were still connected by a common breath, and when meeting the elders of other families, they had to show respect as juniors.

  Niu Wushu nodded, looking at Xu Hua again. Xu Hua opened his eyes and stared at Niu Wushu for a long time before saying, "Considering Niu Wushu's face, as long as he doesn't bother me again, I'll take care of this matter."

  "Alright, Xiao You, I'll take my leave first then. Looking forward to meeting you again."

  Xu Hua nodded and saw Niu Wushu leave. Then he looked at Xuan Ziyin and said, "Is this lady's surname Xuan?"

  Xuan Ziyin saw Xu brother looking at herself, her face slightly red, lightly lowered her head. After hearing Xu Hua's words, she was even more relieved to see that Xu brother did not recognize herself, but only thought she was his own sister. Her brother Xuan Yuan was also puzzled, looking at this person, seemingly not recognizing his own sister, and the relationship between the two seemed not like what his sister said.

  "Brother Xu, I didn't expect we'd meet again." Since Brother Xu asked, it's naturally impossible to hide it any longer, so he simply acknowledged his identity and spoke in a masculine tone.

  Xu Hua listened to the familiar voice, slightly stunned for a moment, but instantly understood the reason behind it. However, at this moment, there seemed to be an extra layer of estrangement between him and Xuan Ziyin, lacking the warmth they had when they first met. Xuan Ziyin also noticed Xu Hua's coldness and felt a slight pang in her heart, but she endured it.

  "Really? It was just Ziyun brother last time, I didn't expect to meet again and it would be Miss Ziying?" Xu Hua smiled lightly, looking somewhat casual.

  Xuan Yuan on the side had heard the reason, this person was actually his sister's acquaintance after she disguised herself as a man, now seeing the real person, he felt somewhat estranged.

  "Does Xu brother still consider us friends?"

  "We are still friends." Su Ran Xuan Ziying deceived herself, but also told herself many things, and she had no malice towards herself, so Xu Hua would not blame her.

  "Xu brother, this is my brother - Xuan Yuan." Xuan Ziying smiled sweetly, although she knew that the relationship between the two could no longer be as it was in the beginning, but at least they were still friends.

  "Xu brother" Xuan Yuan nodded towards Xu Hua with a faint smile.

  Xu Hua looked at Xuan Yuan, feeling that this person's momentum was unparalleled, just like a sharp sword. Indeed, he was not an ordinary person. "Xuan Yuan? It seems that Brother Xuan Yuan is the Young Sect Master of Mingyang Sect. He is indeed a dragon among men. It appears that Brother Xuan Yuan has an extraordinary understanding of the Way of the Sword."

  "Brother Xu is overpraising, Brother Xu seems even more extraordinary. The strength of Niu Wu Shu in the entire Niu family, except for Wu Huang, can be ranked among the top five. Brother Xu can make him stop, such a move I cannot do." Xuan Yuan rarely praises people like this, to him, his eyes only have swords, except for his closest relatives, he always has that cold and icy expression.

  "Ah, ah, Xuan Yuan brother is too modest. In my opinion, both Xuan Yuan brother and Xu Gongzi are rare young heroes." Chen Xiang suddenly interjected. At this time, Xu Hua only noticed her, with a long melon-shaped face, flowing hair, and enticing red lips, she looked like a ripe peach that made people want to take a bite immediately.

  "Ah, Brother Xu, this is Chen Xiang of the Chen family. The one next to him is Chen Feng." Seeing a hint of inquiry in Xu Hua's eyes, Xuan Ziyin immediately introduced them, "The one next to me is Gao Tianshi of the Luo Sheng Sect, Big Brother Gao!"

  "Nice to meet you!" Xu Hua nodded in turn. "I didn't expect to see several of you as soon as I arrived in Luo City, it's truly an honor."

  "Brother Xu is too polite, we are also fortunate to meet Brother Xu, especially the conversation between Brother Xu and Niu Wushu just now. I suppose after today, Brother Xu will be famous throughout Luocheng." said Gao Tianxi.

  Upon hearing this, Xu Hua's face turned somewhat unsightly. Unwanted things had still happened. Being famous was good, but it also meant being in the eye of the storm, with danger lurking at all times.

  "Brother Xu, aren't you worried about the Niu clan?" Xuan Yuan seemed to have thought of something.

  "Is it the Niu clan?" Gao Tianci's lips moved slightly, and he thought of something too.

  "Heh heh, Brother Xu, if you're worried about the Niu family's revenge, why not come to my Xu family?" Chen Feng's words surprised several people, and seeing Xu Hua's gaze, Chen Feng revealed a kind smile, saying: "Although the Niu family is powerful, my Chen family is not weak either."

  Chen Xiang slightly furrowed his brow, but immediately relaxed and said: "As long as Brother Xu comes to the Chen family, then we'll be safe."

  Xuanyuan, Xuanyan Ying and Gao Tianci rarely saw the Chen siblings in agreement, thinking that it was Xu's hidden potential that attracted them, pulling this person into their family.

  Xuanyuan was loyal to his sword and wouldn't curry favor, at most he would lend a helping hand. There was still some awkwardness between Xuanyuan and Xuhua, making it hard for them to speak up. As for Gaotianci, although he admired Xuhua very much in his heart, he also had some hostility towards him.

  "No need, I'm still safe for the time being. I trust Uncle Niu's character," Xu Hua refused the good intentions of the two men on the spot. "If it really comes to the point where the Niu family wants to make things difficult for me, I'm afraid you two won't be able to protect me either. Although I admit that the Chen family is powerful and not weaker than the Niu family, but you two can't represent the entire Chen family. At that time, even if you two want to protect me, it's possible that the main people in the Chen family may not want to offend the Niu family because of this and hand me over."

  "Brother Xu..."

  The two of them were still trying to make excuses, but Xu Hua said: "I'm a bit tired today, so I'll take my leave now. Let's meet again if fate allows it."

  Xu Hua finally bid farewell to everyone and left, Xuan Ziyin wanted to persuade him to stay but couldn't open his mouth.
