Moonlight and wind

After Shan Zimo finished speaking, the whole atmosphere became quiet with only the sound of the whistling wind.

"Young Master, what did you say?" Zijun asked again with a silly smile.

"I let you hit me!" Shan Zimo still looked at him with a smile.

"Young Master, have you forgotten the slap you received from Zijun? Your face was swollen for several days! The slap mark is on your face, it doesn't look good!" Shan Boyu described it vividly.

"Thank you for remembering it so clearly for me!" Shan Zimo rolled his eyes. "I am different now. I feel my inner strength is surging. How can I know if I don't try it?"

"Since the young master asked, Zijun is here." Zijun rubbed his hands.

"Come on! Show me your best skills!" Shan Zimo waved to Zijun confidently. His aura and posture made him seem like he was the number one grandmaster of Wu State!

Snap! The loud slapping sound covered the whistling wind in the valley. This loud slapping sound echoed in the valley! After that, there was a dead silence, and the wind seemed to have stopped. After a long while, the wind began to whistle again, with a bit of mockery!

"Young Master, are you okay?" Zijun came to Shan Zimo, squatted down, tilted his head and looked at Shan Zimo who was lying on the ground.

"You..." Shan Zimo raised his head with difficulty and looked at Zijun who looked innocent. "Good job!" He raised his hand and gave a thumbs up, then lay on the ground without moving...

"Young Master!" Shan Boyu had just recovered from his shock and hurried to Shan Zimo's side, kneeling on the ground. "Are you okay? Can you get up?"

Shan Zimo lay on the ground and waved his hands, "Wait a moment, let me slow down..." With a slurp, saliva seemed to flow from the corner of Shan Zimo's mouth.

There were three people at the foot of the mountain gate, one was squatting, one was kneeling, and the other was lying on the ground. There was nothing except the sound of the wind.

Finally, Dan Zimo, who was lying on the ground, moved! Dan Boyu and Zijun, one on each side, quickly helped him sit up.

"Get me some snow!" Shan Zimo, who spoke a little unclearly, said to Shan Boyu.

"What does the young master want to do with the snow?"

"Can't you see my face is swollen! Let me apply some!" Shan Zimo was so angry that he punched Shan Boyu twice. Shan Boyu ran to the fence, grabbed a handful of snow and handed it to Shan Zimo, then pressed it on his left cheek.

"Zijun, are you jealous of my handsome left face? Can you switch sides?" Shan Zimo touched his swollen left cheek.

"Next time! Next time for sure!" Zijun smiled innocently. Shan Zimo was about to say something to him, but when he thought about the pain in his mouth, he gave up.

The three of them sat for a while, and Shan Zimo's expression had calmed down a lot.

"I thought I had made great progress in martial arts, but how come I was still slapped to the ground by him?"

"Young Master, I've heard that Zijun was born with supernatural powers. Not only is he incredibly strong, but he's also as fast as lightning!" Shan Boyu put his arm around Zijun's neck and teased him, "So don't challenge Zijun casually. Young Master, you won't listen!"

"Then his martial arts skills are the same as Zi Yu's, at the martial arts master level?"

"His martial arts ability cannot be measured. Just because he is the third disciple of the hall master, he became Su Jin's disciple of Xueying Hall and was declared to be a martial arts master, just like Zi Yu, Zi Yun, Zi Qi and others."

"This shouldn't be the case!" Shan Zimo muttered in his heart, "According to the plot, shouldn't I be invincible? Did I get into the wrong script?"

"Young Master, what are you thinking about?" Zijun asked curiously as he looked at Shan Zimo who was in a trance.

"I was wondering why I was not born with supernatural powers! Let's go, Bai Yu!" Shan Zimo jumped up, waved to Zijun, and the two walked up the mountain.

"The hall master should be resting by now, so we don't have to kneel in the Punishment Hall, right?" Shan Zimo said hopefully.

"I advise you to kneel down obediently, otherwise the hall master will lose his temper again!"

"Who will know whether we kneel or not?"

"Young Master, you're back!" Zi Yu was waiting for them in front of Xue Ji Palace.

"You see, Zi Yu knows!" Shan Boyu walked towards the Punishment Hall dejectedly.

"Are you waiting for me here on purpose?" Shan Zimo asked jokingly.

"That's right!" Ziyu stretched out his hand to lead Shan Zimo to the Punishment Hall, "The Hall Master was afraid that the young master would cheat, so he specially asked Ziyu to wait for you here!"

"Cheating?" Shan Zimo couldn't believe his ears.

"The hall master's original words, young master, please!" Shan Zimo and the other man lowered their heads. Ziyu escorted them to the Punishment Hall as if he were escorting them. After watching them kneel down, he turned around and walked out, locking the door.

"Okay, we don't have to go back tonight, let's just rest here!" As he said that, Shan Zimo leaned to the side and lay down.

Shan Boyu glanced at him and continued kneeling without saying anything. He was used to Shan Zimo's unconventional behavior.

Shan Zimo slept well that night, but Shan Boyu was always worried that someone would suddenly come to the door and catch the young master being lazy.

As the sky brightened, Shan Zimo sat up, stretched, and jumped up from the ground. "This sleep was not bad!" He said, and then went to check the tablet on the altar. "Wuji!" Shan Zimo actually picked up the tablet, "To reach Wuji, what kind of martial arts is needed?"

Shan Boyu jumped up from the ground, snatched the tablet from his hand, and put it back in its place respectfully.

"Young Master, just keep your words to yourself. Don't mess with the things here. It's very disrespectful!"

"Well, it's just a martial arts tablet, not a human, so why bother?" Shan Zimo said disapprovingly, "Tell me how powerful this Wuji is?"

"Hmm... let me think about it," Shan Boyu tried to recall, "There are very few records of Wuji, or maybe those are just fabrications made up by people."

"How amazing must that be to rely on fabrication?" Shan Zimo was extremely curious.

"Let's just say it's beyond all realms, with infinite power and wisdom."

"Transcend all realms? Is that still a human being?"

"So, I think this Wuji is just something people made up. How could someone jump out of the Three Realms and not be in the Five Elements?"

As they were talking, the door of the Punishment Hall was locked, and the two of them knelt down hastily. The door opened, and the three hall masters appeared outside together.

"Look, I said Zimo knew he was wrong. Look at his attitude of admitting his mistake. He knelt for a whole night!" The second hall master pushed Shan Tianxiang aside and ran into the punishment hall first.

"Get up quickly. Your legs are numb from kneeling. What will we do if our sister-in-law finds out about this?" The Second Hall Master had no intention of letting Shan Tianxiang go and even hit on his sore spot.

"Oh, look how tired these two kids are. Someone, come and help them!" The third hall master also ran in following Shan Tianao, making Shan Tianxiang feel like a terrible person!

Shan Zimo and the other two also cooperated, limping out of the Punishment Hall with the help of the disciples.

"I can understand that my second uncle spoke for me," Shan Zimo said softly to Shan Boyu, "Why did my third uncle also speak for me today?"

"Let the young master say a word for him!" Shan Boyu had a look of seeing through things.

"What to say?"

"Of course, it's about asking Master Zhiye to forge the dagger!"
