Crossing the Sword

Seeing Ye Shisan's rogue expression, Tian Nuba couldn't help but said helplessly: "How much do you want?"

Ye Shisan then remembered that he had not yet looked at the things he had received in the Black Wind Pass, so he smiled and said, "Let me see if I can find any. I'll talk about the price after I find them." As he spoke, his consciousness had already entered the Demon Refining Pot and started rummaging through the pile of treasures robbed in the Black Wind Pass. After a while, he found a necklace with a strange triangular mark on it from among the many treasures and asked, "Beautiful lady Ba, is this the thing you are talking about?"

Tiannv Ba seemed to be a little surprised when she looked at the pendant on Ye Shisan's chest. She frowned slightly and said, "Demon Refining Pot? How come it is here with you?" As she said that, she couldn't help but lower her head to look at her chest, between her breasts, and saw the same pendant as Zhang Tianya's.

Seeing him like this, Ye Shisan couldn't help but look over there. Just now, he was embarrassed to look at that place because of the difference between men and women, but now he saw that the other person's pendant was exactly the same as his own.

Tiannuba noticed Ye Shisan's gaze, her face changed and she asked angrily, "What are you looking at?"

Ye Shisan shrugged and said, "Of course I'm looking at your necklace. Could it be that I'm looking at your... Ha. Beautiful Ba, how can our necklaces be the same?"

Tian Nu Ba shook her head and said, "I don't know. Mine was given to me by my mother." After a pause, she glared at Ye Shisan and said, "Also, my name is Tian Nu Ba."

Ye Shisan said nonchalantly: "It's the same. You said I can call you Ba, and you are a beauty, so calling you Beauty Ba is also very appropriate, hehe..."

"Whatever you want to call me." Tian Nuba found that she really had no way to deal with this outspoken guy, and she couldn't even get angry with him. After a closer look, she found that this guy's appearance and temperament were also acceptable. Finally, she couldn't help but ask in a half-joking tone: "Then how did yours come from, prodigal son?" She wanted to use this nickname to fight back, but she felt it was wrong after she said it. Why did it feel like flirting? But she couldn't take back her words, so she could only pretend that nothing had happened.

Ye Shisan continued unconsciously: "This is what my father left for me. Do you think it is possible that we were betrothed since childhood, and this necklace is the proof of our recognition?"

Tiannuba blushed when she was told that, and immediately replied in a cold tone: "Put away your boring imagination, and get back to the point. Which of your things is exactly what I want, and how much do you want?" But in her heart she was thinking that maybe what he said was true, and she would ask her mother when she got back.

Ye Shisan thought about it and decided that he should ask for a high price. So he smiled and held out five fingers.

Tiannv Ba didn't even ask the price. She took out a bunch of fairy stone coins from her necklace and threw them in front of Zhang Tianya, saying, "Here are 5000 fairy stone coins. You can order some." After that, she snatched the necklace from Zhang Tianya's hand and said, "I've given you the money. I'll take the thing. Goodbye, Ye Shisan." After that, she turned around and jumped off the roof, disappearing around the corner of the street.

Watching the back of Tiannuba going away, Ye Shisan smiled bitterly and put away the money, muttering to himself: "I really met a straightforward person. I only wanted 500 yuan, and I can still bargain. What is the use of that weird-looking necklace?"

In the mayor's residence, the mountain god Shunzhi was leisurely drinking tea, while the mayor Haoji was sitting on the other side of him, feeling a little anxious. Finally, he couldn't help but say, "Wealth and honor are sought in danger. If we don't try, how can we know that we can't catch them? Although the Emperor Yan has not issued a wanted order yet, if we take the initiative to catch them, I think we will definitely be rewarded."

The mountain god Shunzhi rolled his eyes at him and said, "You seem quite steady at ordinary times, but how come you lose your sense of proportion when it comes to interests?" He put down the teacup and continued, "Let's not talk about the unfathomable Ye Shisan. He is probably a master-level expert. How confident are you in dealing with him?"

Hao snorted coldly: "Doesn't he have two companions?"

The mountain god said slowly, "You finally told me your ultimate goal. Yes, it is possible to cultivate immortality by obtaining the blood of the Phoenix. But have you ever thought about it? Now everyone in the Yan tribe knows that two people from the Phoenix tribe are here. Do you think Nanming Zhuque is an easy person to deal with? By then, let alone immortality, I am afraid that even the entire Zhuyang Mountain will be burned to ashes! If you still insist on doing stupid things, don't blame me for turning against you in order to protect Zhuyang Mountain! Humph!"

*******

The next morning, Ye Shisan and Luanfeng bought some things in the town and then set off towards Shangdang. In addition to hurrying on their way, the three of them also had to learn from each other, so they moved very slowly.

On this day, the three of them were training on the top of a hill. Qingluan was trying desperately to dodge the wooden sticks that were constantly attacking from Huofeng, but as the saying goes, "If you defend too long, you will lose." After a while, she was finally unable to dodge and was knocked to the ground by Huofeng's "Forced Splitting of Huashan."

When Huo Feng saw Qing Luan fall to the ground, he hurried forward to help him up and said with concern: "Brother Luan, are you okay? I remember I was very careful just now."

Ye Shisan sorted out his "ancient dictionary" and said nonchalantly: "There is nothing wrong with him, he just wants to be lazy. I used this trick when I was learning from my master. Do you want to know how my master punished me then?" As he spoke, he had already marked all the new words he learned today with modern Chinese characters.

Qingluan said unconvincedly: "But Brother Shisan, you said you would teach us how to fight, but it has been more than ten days now, and all you have been training us all day is how to avoid enemy attacks. I don't think we can defeat the enemy just by dodging, I think offense is the best defense!" Hearing Qingluan being forced to say such a cross-era language by himself, Ye Shisan's vanity couldn't help but be slightly satisfied.

He put away the dictionary, nodded and said, "Your reaction is the same as mine. Legend has it that there is a martial art called Dugu Nine Swords, which can only attack and not defend, and can also break all martial arts in the world." Seeing the two people's eyes flickering, he continued hurriedly: "But I have never seen this kind of martial art, let alone know how to use it. So if you want to improve your strength quickly, you must practice according to my method. If you are not convinced, we can try a few moves. Feng'er, give him the stick." As he said that, he picked up one from the ground and made a gesture of invitation to Qingluan with a smile.

Qingluan said happily: "Then don't blame me for being rude, brother." Then he swung the wooden stick towards Ye Shisan.

Ye Shisan's body flashed slightly, avoiding Qingluan's attack while the wooden stick swung in front of Qingluan's chest and then was retracted.

Of course Qingluan was not convinced, and immediately picked up the stick to attack again, but Ye Shisan dodged it easily again. Then he hit Ye Shisan's vital points and then stopped. After repeating this several times, Qingluan stopped and said depressedly: "I won't fight you anymore, I won't fight you anymore. I can't even touch the corner of your clothes. What's the point of fighting you?" Obviously, he just felt that he had strength but nowhere to use it, and did not pay attention to Ye Shisan's previous attacks.
