Chapter 69 is practically a guaranteed win!
"Tai Chi is the mechanism of movement and stillness, the mother of Yin and Yang! When it moves, it separates; when it is still, it unites."
Under everyone's gaze, Li Qinglu shook her head and swayed her body, becoming increasingly boastful:
"Keep your head upright and your energy sinking to your dantian. Be neither biased nor leaning, sometimes visible, sometimes hidden. The higher you look up, the deeper you seem; the further you look down, the shorter you seem. Advance, the longer you go; retreat, the shorter you retreat. Yin and Yang are inseparable; Yin and Yang complement each other, reaching the realm of the divine! Not even a feather can be added, not even a fly can land. Others do not know me, but I alone know them. Invincible, this is the path... Honey, did I recite this correctly?"
Qi Ming chuckled and said, "All you've got left is a mouth. I've made you cultivate, and when have you ever slacked off?"
Li Qinglu said coquettishly, "With the best husband in the world protecting me, I don't need to work so hard."
No one paid much attention to her behavior.
Everyone was thinking about the Tai Chi principles she had memorized.
Kumārajīva was a top student, and he immediately gained a lot.
He then clasped his hands together and expressed his gratitude to Li Qinglu, saying, "Thank you, benefactor!"
He then looked at Qi Ming and said, completely convinced:
"Your fist technique is divine, and your internal strength has reached the realm of perfect harmony of Yin and Yang. You truly deserve to be called the best in the world!"
Qi Ming cupped his hands in a respectful gesture and said modestly:
"Chief Qiao's martial arts skills are the best in the world. His Eighteen Subduing Dragon Palms combine softness and strength, and are incredibly powerful. They have surpassed all previous chiefs and entered a new era. I dare not say that I can defeat him lightly."
The sweeping monk is the ceiling.
But Qiao Feng is cheating.
Not only will they grow stronger with each battle, they might even launch a surprise attack on you!
We must consider exceptions!
"I see... I've learned my lesson!"
Kumārajīva was initially quite pleased with himself.
I lost to Qi Ming today, and I heard that Qiao Feng is even more awesome.
He immediately realized that he had underestimated the heroes of the world, and felt that time was of the essence and he had to seize the moment to obtain the Six Meridians Divine Sword!
Although Bao Butong was unhappy, he couldn't argue back.
After all, Murong Fu uses a sword!
Li Qingluo had no interest in martial arts, but she was interested in Qi Ming, and immediately made a request:
"Good nephew-in-law, please help me get rid of this heartless man!"
Upon hearing this, everyone's attention was once again drawn to matters of the heart.
"Ah Luo, I'm so sorry, I deserve to be torn to pieces, fried in oil, and roasted in fire!"
Duan Zhengchun first made a self-criticism, and then explained the reasoning behind it:
"But things are urgent right now. Let's find Murong Fu and deal with this matter first, then we can catch up, okay?"
"No, no!"
Bao Butong shouted, "You heartless wretch! You're so unreasonable! I've already said this has nothing to do with my young master. Why are you still looking for him?"
He further warned, "My young master has received information that a group from the Western Xia First-Class Hall will come to Suzhou to cause trouble. They might even be the ones responsible for the murders and the theft of the secret manuals!"
"Yipintang?"
Duan Zhengchun snorted, "The Four Evils are like ghosts that won't leave us. Perfect timing, let's settle our scores together!"
Dao Baifeng snorted, "You've come at just the right time this time; last time was unfortunate! Yu'er, let's go!"
Having said that, he pulled Duan Yu away.
The third of the four villains caught her husband and Gan Baobao having an affair.
"Phoenix..."
Duan Zhengchun was in a dilemma because he wanted to go to Li Qingluo's place.
But I don't dare to go.
Finally, Qin Hongmian and Gan Baobao pulled him along and followed Dao Baifeng.
Compared to Dao Baifeng, Li Qingluo is more annoying.
Li Qingluo refused to give up and followed them with her people.
Li Qinglu smiled and said, "Honey, shall we go?"
Qi Ming shook his head and said, "Chief Jiang and I have other matters to attend to. You go ahead!"
Next came the Xingzilin incident.
***
late at night.
Quan Guanqing, the leader of the Beggars' Sect's Great Wisdom Branch and a master of rhythm, breathed a sigh of relief after a day of preparing for his conspiracy.
Rebellion is mentally taxing, especially since his target is a highly popular and skilled master like Qiao Feng. How could he dare to slack off? He would probably sleep for an hour or two before waking up to continue refining his schemes.
He had just loosened his belt when he heard someone say:
"Quan Guanqing, I ask you, according to our gang rules, how should someone who seduced the vice-gang leader's wife and then murdered the vice-gang leader be punished?"
Quan Guanqing shuddered, turned around and saw a stranger, his fear intensified, but he still mustered his courage and said:
"Who are you, daring to trespass on the territory of my Beggars' Sect?"
Qi Ming said coldly, "Madam Ma, Bai Shijing, and Elder Xu committed the unforgivable crime of causing the death of the Vice Chief, and according to the rules, they should be executed..."
Before he could finish speaking, Quan Guanqing launched a sneak attack...
Qi Ming arrived first despite being behind, pressing his palm down on his chest, forcing all the air out of his lungs, making it difficult for him to breathe, and he was about to suffocate.
He then sneered, "After you exposed Chief Qiao as a Khitan, I want you to turn the tables and identify Madam Ma, Elder Xu, and Bai Shijing. Can you do that?"
Quan Guanqing nodded with difficulty.
Qi Ming then withdrew his right palm and said in a gentle tone:
"Our Beggars' Sect is a mixed bag, and we cannot be without a leader for even a day. You need to be quick-witted."
Quan Guanqing, being quick-witted, immediately knelt down and bowed, saying, "Greetings, Chief!"
Qi Ming laughed heartily: "See you in the apricot grove!"
Having said that, his figure flashed a few times and then disappeared.
Quan Guanqing's eyes were conflicted. In the end, he gritted his teeth and decided to accept his fate and get through this ordeal.
Even if we really managed to get rid of Qiao Feng, what difference would it make? He's on Kang Min's ship, and once things are exposed, he'll inevitably die anyway.
It's better to jump ship now!
That morning.
On Taihu Lake.
A boat departs from Suzhou, heading towards Wuxi on the other side...
Mantuo Villa is not located in the city, but on the shore of Taihu Lake, not far from Wuxi.
Inside the cabin.
"The Jade Maiden Heart Sutra?"
"What kind of martial art is this? I've never heard of it before!" Wang Yuyan asked curiously from the "List of Forbidden Martial Arts Books."
Her appearance, except that she was younger, was the same as her mother Li Qingluo and her maternal grandmother Li Qiushui.
Li Qinglu said smugly, "Of course you haven't heard of it! This internal skill is my husband's secret, passed down orally by his mother before she passed away. No one else knows about it except for me and Yunniang."
Li Qingluo deliberately said, "That sounds indecent, who would want to know!"
Li Qinglu wasn't fooled: "Hmph, if you don't want to know, I'm not willing to tell you either!"
Wang Yuyan became even more curious: "I didn't ask you to teach me, just give me a brief explanation!"
Li Qinglu whispered, "This martial art was created specifically for lovers, because it requires both men and women to practice together. Once mastered, it not only doubles one's power but also grants eternal youth!"
"Is Changchun eternally young?"
Li Qingluo exclaimed excitedly, "Just like your grandmother?"
Li Qinglu chuckled and said, "They might even be younger!"
Wang Yuyan hadn't yet noticed her gray hair, and wasn't that eager for eternal youth.
But Li Qingluo really needs it.
Imagine this: all of Duan Zhengchun's other lovers have aged, while she remains forever young...
She's a shoo-in for the win!
Her eyes lit up as she said, "Qing'er, teach it to me! I'll give you all the secret manuals in my family!"
Li Qinglu shook her head and said, "This cannot be spread around. Even if my grandmother asks for it, I will not give it to her if my husband does not agree."
Li Qingluo snorted, "If you don't give it to me, I won't force you, but I'll marry your cousin to him later, and we'll be sisters for life!"
