Chapter 471: Pure Ping'er
"I?"

Yun Jianping was stunned, and looked at Yun Zhuiyue in astonishment, and said hesitantly: "Dad, do you think your daughter can defeat Liu Xunyi?"

"Holy Lord, please think twice!" Tang Xuan tried to dissuade him. "Although the young lady has practiced martial arts for many years and has been taught by famous teachers, she has developed good martial arts skills. But she is a weak woman after all. Her fists and feet skills are good enough to deal with some second-rate and third-rate warriors, but it is really... really difficult to deal with a desperate criminal like Liu Xunyi who spends his days in the sea of ​​blood and swords."

"Hey!" Yun Jianping, who was originally hesitant, couldn't help but glare at Tang Xuan after hearing his words, and said unhappily, "Uncle Tang, what do you mean by that? I am the proud disciple of the four guardians of Longxiang Mountain, and with my father's guidance, how could I be defeated by a little Liu Xunyi?"

Yun Jianping has been learning martial arts since he was a child under the guidance of the four guardians Tang Xuan, Si Wudao, Shao Yuanqing and Wuming. He would occasionally receive advice from Yun Zhuiyue, so it is not an exaggeration for him to call himself their disciple.

However, although Yun Jianping's four masters were first-rate experts, they did not have the same strict requirements as ordinary masters and apprentices. Instead, they let Yun Jianping do whatever he wanted and let him do whatever he wanted.

If she wanted to learn boxing, they would teach her some boxing. If she wanted to learn weapons, they would teach her some weapons. As for whether she was willing to study hard and practice, or whether she could withstand the extreme cold and heat, the four masters did not pursue it, nor did they care.

After all, Yun Jianping was the apple of Yun Zhuiyue's eye, and accepting her as a disciple was mostly out of consideration for Yun Zhuiyue's face, rather than a sincere desire to teach martial arts. Moreover, with Yun Zhuiyue as Yun Jianping's backer, even if Tang Xuan and the other three wanted to discipline her, they dared not be too strict, as there was always a difference in status and position.

Of course, in front of Yun Jianping, Tang Xuan and the other three always maintained an optimistic attitude of "cautious teaching" and "high hopes", which made her inevitably overconfident and even forgetful at times.

"Miss, I have no intention of belittling you. I just..." Tang Xuan racked his brains and pondered over his words. "Liu Xunyi is a reckless man. Most of the opponents he encounters on a daily basis are cold-blooded and brutal desperadoes. Therefore, in order to protect himself, he always uses killing moves. It has become a habit. Miss is a valuable person. If you fight with such a reckless man, what will you do if something goes wrong?"

"On weekdays, I often compete with others in Longxiang Mountain." Yun Jianping retorted indignantly, "My opponents are also famous swordsmen and knifemen in the martial arts world. I am not afraid of them, so why should I be afraid of Liu Xunyi?"

"This...how can this be compared?"

Tang Xuan was stunned, thinking to himself, "Who would dare to act rashly in front of you during the competition at Longxiang Mountain? Everyone would be nervous and try every possible means to lose to you on purpose. Sigh!"

"Why can't we be compared? Dad, I..."

"enough!"

Before Yun Jianping finished speaking, Yun Zhuiyue suddenly waved his hand and said, "Your father also wants you to see the world. Since you are not afraid of Liu Xunyi, it's okay for you to try on stage."

"My daughter obeys my command!"

After an argument with Tang Xuan, Yun Jianping had already thrown away her anxiety, hesitation and nervousness. Seeing that Yun Zhuiyue was willing to help her, she readily agreed without hesitation. Then she stuck out her tongue at Tang Xuan and Li Haitang who were full of embarrassment, stood up gracefully, and ran towards the sword-fighting arena excitedly.

"Wow!"

When a young woman came on stage to fight, the noisy scene suddenly quieted down, and everyone was confused and looked at each other.

Liu Xunyi looked at Yun Jianping who was coming towards him with astonishment. He was at a loss for a moment and subconsciously took two steps back.

At the same time, Xiao Zhirou, who was watching the game on the sidelines, saw Yun Jianping, her eyes suddenly changed, her body leaned forward slightly, her fists clenched, and she seemed to be in turmoil and very nervous.

"Valley Master, why are you..."

"How can we let her compete on stage?" Xiao Zhirou ignored Tang Afu's confusion and muttered absentmindedly, "Swords have no eyes, why is Du Xiang so confused?"

At this moment, Xiao Zhirou's tone sounded somewhat angry, which made Tang Afu, Chang Wuhui and others very puzzled.

On the other side, Luo Tianjin was also full of doubts, muttering: "Sending a weak woman to compete, what is Yun Zhuiyue's conspiracy?"

Under the watchful eyes of the crowd, Yun Jianping walked to Liu Xunyi and slowly stopped. She seemed a little nervous. With tens of thousands of eyes watching from all directions, her every move seemed stiff and awkward, extremely unnatural.

"Ok?"

Liu Xunyi seemed to see Yun Jianping's anxiety, and he couldn't help but frowned and said to comfort her: "Don't worry about the eyes of the people around you, just pretend they don't exist."

"Gulu!"

Yun Jianping glanced around with the corner of his eyes, then swallowed his saliva and muttered in an awkward tone: "I didn't feel anything when I was watching the game on the sidelines, but I don't know why? When I got on the stage, it was as if my hands and feet were completely out of control."

"If you don't look at them, then..."

"I'm not blind, how can I pretend they don't exist?"

"Then..." Liu Xunyi rolled his eyes and said jokingly, "You think of them as monkeys on the mountain. These monkeys may have never seen such a beautiful girl, so they call their friends and bring their families, big and small monkeys, just to see the beauty of the girl. If you think this way, not only do you not need to be nervous, but you can also show off your charm to let these monkeys open their eyes."

Liu Xunyi's teasing made Yun Jianping couldn't help laughing. Her face, which was slightly pale due to nervousness, gradually turned rosy.

Seeing this scene, Liu Xunyi suddenly recalled his childhood. Whenever Liu Xunyu was nervous and scared, he would hold his sister in his arms, tell her jokes, soothe her emotions, and do everything he could to make her happy.

Thinking back to the past, from snakes, insects, rats and ants to strongmen and bullies, to homelessness, hunger and cold, Liu Xunyi always used this method to do his best to protect his sister. Even if he was hungry and wounded, he always used his brother's instinct to make his sister feel safe and happy.

Once upon a time, Liu Xunyi's jokes were childish and boring, dull and tedious. But Liu Xunyu never got tired of listening to them. Every time she listened, she would burst into tears and finally fall asleep in Liu Xunyi's arms. When she woke up, it was often a new day. Thinking of this, and seeing Yun Jianping smiling in front of her, Liu Xunyi's eyes quietly turned red. Just as he was about to call out "Yu'er", he suddenly found that his throat was extremely dry. He opened his mouth several times, but still couldn't make a sound.

As if she had noticed Liu Xunyi's strange look, Yun Jianping quickly put away the smile on her face, hastily put on a vigilant look, and angrily said: "You lecher, why do you always stare at me with lustful eyes?"

"what?"

Liu Xunyi suddenly woke up, took a deep breath, suppressed his fluctuating emotions, and answered in the gentlest tone possible: "The girl's smile just now reminded me of an old friend."

"Old friend?" Yun Jianping looked Liu Xunyi up and down doubtfully, and teased, "You lecher, do you always use this method to deceive ignorant women?"

He kept calling her "rapist", which made Liu Xunyi laugh and cry, feeling helpless.

"Have you forgotten that I let you go last night?"

"Who knows what you are up to?" Yun Jianping retorted, "Dad said that no man in the world is a good person!"

Liu Xunyi raised his eyebrows and said jokingly, "Saint Lord Yun is also a man, is he not a good guy?"

"you……"

Yun Jianping was speechless, and then became angry and drew her sword from its sheath with a "swoosh". She said angrily: "I am here to duel with you, I don't have time to listen to your nonsense."

"Martial arts competition?" Liu Xunyi was startled and asked in astonishment, "You?"

"Is there anyone else on the stage?" Yun Jianping asked.

"I mean, you and I fought last night..."

"I was careless last night. I won't lose to you again today. Watch out!"

Suddenly, Yun Jianping shouted and rushed towards Liu Xunyi with her sword.

Liu Xunyi had no choice but to accept the attack. However, he had no intention of fighting Yun Jianping, so he could only dodge back and forth with his agile body movements, but he did not launch an attack.

This scene made everyone around stare in amazement and full of doubts.

"What happened to Tianshan Jade Dragon Palace? Why are they giving up their moves one after another?"

"Before there were Dong Xiao'er and Hu Yanba, I didn't expect that Liu Xunyi would also be unable to escape the fate of giving in."

"How strange! Seeing that this woman's swordsmanship is ordinary, why did Liu Xunyi just dodge and not fight back?"

"A man and a woman, could it be that they have some unspeakable secret? Hehe... this boy is so lucky to have hooked up with such a gorgeous beauty."

"Don't talk nonsense! Lord Luo just announced the marriage of Liu Xunyi and Miss Luo. If you spread rumors, be careful that someone will cut off your tongue."

For a time, there were many different opinions and rumors both inside and outside the summit of Mount Huashan.

On the sidelines, Lu Tingxiang looked meaningfully at Yun Jianping dancing on the sword arena, and said to Bai Shuang without turning his head, "I never thought there would be such similar people in the world. If you didn't know, you would think you were sisters who had been separated for many years."

“It is not surprising that people are similar and things are the same.”

Bai Shuang's reaction was surprisingly calm. When she saw Liu Xunyi, who allowed Yun Jianping to continue attacking on the arena and always treated her gently and with a smile, a hint of inexplicable resentment flashed in the depths of her eyes.

At the beginning, she was mistaken by Liu Xunyi as his sister and was cared for and cared for in every way. Although she and Liu Xunyi parted ways in the end, the dreamlike brother-sister relationship was always deeply buried in her heart.

Even though it was just a casual experience, it was a wonderful experience that Bai Shuang had never experienced before and one that she will never forget.

Now, when Bai Shuang saw Liu Xunyi's attitude towards Yun Jianping, she immediately understood everything. At the same time, she couldn't help but feel a vague sense of envy, yearning, and even... jealousy deep in her heart.

People can be real or fake, but it is difficult to distinguish the reality from the feelings we have experienced.

Bai Shuang knew that the moment Liu Xunyi met Yun Jianping, the little brotherly love she had left in his heart would completely disappear.

She never dared to look into her own heart until this moment when she suddenly realized that she was actually reluctant to part with this "brother" who had appeared out of nowhere.
