Chapter 104: Keep a Line

"Be careful looking for clothes!"

Luo Ningyu had heard a lot about Xu Tieya and knew that his Hunyuan Yiqi Palm was extraordinary. In a hurry, she had no time to think about it and exclaimed subconsciously.

"Oh!"

Before Luo Ningyu finished her words, the palms of Liu Xunyi and Xu Tieya had already collided heavily, and a ripple of energy immediately radiated from the palms of the two men. The power was so great that the people around them retreated.

The moment the palms came into contact, Xu Tieya, who had originally looked confident, suddenly froze, and then a look of unbelievable horror suddenly flooded into his eyes. But before he could hastily change his moves, his body had already flown backwards, flying several meters before landing in a mess.

After landing, Xu Tieya was still unsteady on his feet, and he staggered back three or five steps before he managed to steady himself.

Looking at Liu Xunyi again, at the moment of facing Xu Tieya, his body trembled violently, and the internal force in his palm doubled in an instant, shocking Xu Tieya away. However, he just flicked his shoulders and dissipated all of Xu Tieya's strength, without his feet moving back at all.

With just one move, the difference in martial arts skills between Xu Tieya and Liu Xunyi was immediately apparent.

In the palm strike just now, both Liu Xunyi and Xu Tieya used their real strength, not just a test. Although Xu Tieya's palm technique was quite powerful, the internal strength he cultivated was mixed, so his internal strength was far inferior to that of Liu Xunyi, who had pure internal strength. Therefore, he was knocked back by the palm strike and suffered a great loss.

"Cough...poof!"

Xu Tieya's blood and qi were disordered, his meridians were constricted, and his chest was stuffy, as if a mass of foul air was accumulated, and he couldn't feel relieved unless he vomited it out. After a while, Xu Tieya felt an itch in his throat, but he didn't want to embarrass himself in broad daylight, so he could only cough to cover up the embarrassment, but he didn't expect that after coughing twice, a large mouthful of blood sprayed out of his mouth uncontrollably.

At this point, Xu Tieya finally felt his internal organs feel a little better.

"Hiss!" This scene caused an uproar in the teahouse, and everyone was dumbfounded.

Xu Tieya was quite famous in Luoyang, but now he was slapped by an unknown young man and vomited blood. If this matter was just hearsay, I am afraid no one would believe it.

"When did such a young master appear in the Xianwang Mansion?"

Zhuge Wu's martial arts skills were far inferior to Xu Tieya's, so after Xu Tieya's defeat, he did not dare to move forward rashly. He just stood beside Wang Qingshu with a nervous look, seeming to mutter to himself, or as if he was explaining the reason to Wang Qingshu.

"What a master." Xu Tieya wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth with his sleeve and said in a deep voice, "There are indeed many hidden dragons and crouching tigers in the Xianwang Mansion. I have never seen this little brother before. May I know your name?"

"His name is Liu Xunyi, a new disciple." Seeing Liu Xunyi's great power, Luo Ningyu was immediately delighted and interrupted, "If you know what's good for you, get out of the way quickly, or you will all be in trouble!"

Luo Hongxuan frowned and whispered, "Ningyu, don't act rashly."

“It’s Brother Liu.” Xu Tieya stared at Liu Xunyi meaningfully, nodded vaguely, and sneered, “I, Xu Tieya, have memorized this palm strike. There are not many people in Luoyang City who can withstand my Hunyuan Yiqi Palm strike. I admire you!”

In fact, Liu Xunyi knew Luo Hongxuan's thoughts very well, and she also understood that Luo Tianjin did not want to offend the Mongols.

But he just took action on his own, and his attack was as powerful as thunder, showing no mercy to Xu Tieya.

The primary reason why Liu Xunyi did this was naturally to save the imperiled Lin Fangda. But in addition to that, he also had another selfish motive: "to deliberately destroy the relationship between the Xianwang Mansion and the Mongols." The more strained the relationship between the two, the less likely it was that they would collude secretly.

Preventing the Xianwang Mansion from making peace with the Mongols is an important thing that Liu Xunyi must do after learning the secret information from Qin Wei.

Luo Hongxuan also saw all of this, so it was not surprising that Liu Xunyi rescued Lin Fangda in the moment of danger. But saving people was one thing, so why did he have to act so aggressively? Why did he have to make Xu Tieya embarrassed in public and make it difficult for him to step down?
Although Luo Hongxuan was unhappy, he just thought that Liu Xunyi was a newcomer and didn't know his place. In addition, he had deep feelings for his brother Lin Fang, so he acted a little rashly. Therefore, he didn't think much about it.

Liu Xunyi stared at Wang Qingshu with deep eyes, and said quietly: "I don't know if snatching women is considered a kind of fighting spirit in your place. But in the Central Plains, although there is a saying that 'a gentleman loves a beautiful lady', one should also understand the principle of 'seeking in a proper way'. Women in the Central Plains are not pigs, horses, cattle or sheep. You can't buy them back with money or power, so I advise you not to force others to do things against their will."

"How dare you talk to me like that?" Wang Qingshu laughed in anger, mocking, "Do you think that just because you know a little bit of Kung Fu, no one in the world can stop you? The guy just now was already arrogant enough, but you are even more arrogant than him. How dare you teach me a lesson with such brazen words? I not only have a hundred ways to get the woman I like, but also a thousand ways to make you wish you were dead or alive!"

"Boy, this is Luoyang, not your Helin. Do you believe that I will not let you leave the Donghai Teahouse today..."

"enough!"

Before Lin Fangda, who had hastily stood up from the mess, could start to curse, Luo Hongxuan suddenly shouted coldly, instantly quieting the noisy hall. Under everyone's strange gazes, Luo Hongxuan walked up to Xu Tieya and asked, "Second Master Xu, now that things have come to this, how do you plan to end this?"

"I wonder what Mr. Luo means..."

"It's very simple." Luo Hongxuan said coldly, "If your young prince still insists on robbing the common people's girl in the East Sea Teahouse, Lin Fangda and Liu Xunyi will definitely not let it go. Then I will expel the two of them from the Xianwang Mansion immediately and let the two of you fight to your heart's content. If there are any casualties, don't blame my Xianwang Mansion, Xu Erdang."

"you……"

"Or we can just let this matter go and take a step back." Luo Hongxuan said, "Let the father and daughter leave first, and then we can go our separate ways. The Xianwang Mansion will definitely send someone with generous gifts to give the young prince an explanation one day."

After that, Luo Hongxuan slowly approached Xu Tieya and whispered in his ear, "Second Master Xu should know that you are no match for Lin Fangda and Liu Xunyi today. If they really fall out, you will not be able to protect the young prince."

Xu Tieya's expression changed slightly, and he threatened in a low voice: "Mr. Luo, even if you expel Lin Fangda and Liu Xunyi from the Xianwang Mansion now, if something really happens to the young prince here, your Xianwang Mansion will also be to blame."

"That's right." Luo Hongxuan nodded, "But before the Mongols cause trouble for the Xianwang Mansion, they will definitely punish you for your inadequate protection. If the young prince dies here today, you might end up having your property confiscated and your entire family exterminated."

Xu Tieya looked at Luo Hongxuan with a complicated expression, and said hesitantly: "Mr. Luo, don't bluff me. As the saying goes, every wrong has its perpetrator, and every debt has its creditor. As long as we fight to protect him today, I believe that General Wang will never vent his anger on us..."

"General Wang won't, but Lord Luo will." Before Xu Tieya could finish his words, Luo Hongxuan had already muttered, "Second Master Xu, if you really fight to the death over such a small matter, even if the Mongols don't make things difficult for you, will they be willing to send a large army to protect you day and night? If not, how will you explain to my father? Second Master Xu is a smart man, and he knows the principle of 'turning big things into small things, and small things into nothing'. If my people are disobedient, they will be severely punished when they return, but solving the current trouble is the top priority, otherwise this matter will get bigger and bigger, and when it really becomes known to the whole city, the news that the Mongolian prince forcibly robbed the women in Luoyang City will spread like wildfire and spread all over the world. As for the Golden Sword Sect and the Iron Palm Gang, they will become accomplices and running dogs who are relying on the power of the tiger. By then, neither General Wang nor your gang leader will look good, right?"

"But now that the fight has been fought and the commotion has been made, there are all kinds of people in the teahouse, and it is inevitable that this matter will be spread out..."

"As long as this matter can be resolved smoothly, I, Luo Hongxuan, promise that no one will leak a word of what happened today." Luo Hongxuan straightened his expression and stared at the hesitant Xu Tieya without blinking.

After thinking for a long time, Xu Tieya nodded slightly with hesitation.

Luo Hongxuan turned back to Luo Ningyu and personally pulled Luo Ningyu's hand away from Meihua's arm. Before Luo Ningyu could angrily question him, Luo Hongxuan said to Meihua and her daughter, "Go! Leave Luoyang City before dark. My sister is kind-hearted, but she can only ensure that you will be worry-free today. As for tomorrow? That depends on your own luck."

After that, Luo Hongxuan took out a bulging purse from his sleeve, stuffed it into Meihua's hand, and said lightly: "The girl's three variations of plum blossoms are full of deep feelings, and we are like hearing the sound of nature. If we are destined to have the chance in the future, Luo Hongxuan would like to listen to the girl sing "Plum Blossom" again."

"Thank you, young master!" Meihua looked at Luo Hongxuan deeply, then timidly put away the purse, and then supported Old Man Liu and walked towards the door with a staggering step.

Wang Qingshu wanted to step out to stop him, but Xu Tieya stopped him first and whispered something in his ear, which barely dispelled Wang Qingshu's obsession. Under his angry gaze, Meihua and his daughter slowly left the Donghai Teahouse.

After about an incense stick of time, Luo Hongxuan turned to Wang Qingshu, Xu Tieya and Zhuge Wu and said, "It was just a misunderstanding. I hope I didn't disturb you all. I'm leaving now!"

"Goodbye, Young Master Luo!" Xu Tieya and Zhuge Wu hurriedly bowed in return, but Wang Qingshu kept staring at Liu Xunyi and Lin Fangda with a pair of cold eyes without blinking, and ignored Luo Hongxuan's greetings.

"Let's go!"

Luo Hongxuan was in a bad mood at the moment. He greeted him gloomily, and then walked out of the teahouse quickly with the indignant Luo Ningyu and several disciples of the Xianwang Mansion. When Liu Xunyi and Lin Fangda passed by Wang Qingshu, he suddenly shouted coldly: "You two dared to ruin my good deeds. I will remember this account and will never let it go easily!"

Lin Fangda was about to retaliate, but Liu Xunyi gently tugged at his sleeve and shook his head slightly at him.

Liu Xunyi glanced at Wang Qingshu, whose face was ashen, and then without saying a word, he dragged Lin Fangda away quickly.

Watching the people from the Xianwang Mansion disappear outside the teahouse, Wang Qingshu turned to Xu Tieya and Zhuge Wu and asked, "Is this the result you gave me?"

Xu Tieya hurriedly explained, "Young Prince, calm down. As the saying goes, a good man never suffers a loss in front of him. Today they are so powerful that we cannot fight them head-on. After we go back, we will discuss countermeasures in detail and make sure that Young Prince will vent his anger."

Hearing this, Wang Qingshu's expression eased a little, and then he seemed to suddenly remember something and said thoughtfully: "The plum blossom..."

"Don't worry, young prince. We just let the father and daughter go just to appease the people in Prince Xian's Mansion. I promise that even if that plum blossom girl runs to the ends of the earth, I will definitely catch her back and make her serve you day and night. She won't be able to escape even if she has wings! Hehe..."
