Chapter 208: Shi Feixuan: I've encountered a rogue and a charlatan.
No matter when or where, Cola Novels is your most loyal reading companion.
Has the victim come knocking?!
Li Ping showed no embarrassment whatsoever and even went to open the door himself: "Please come in."
Watching Shi Feixuan gracefully walk into his courtyard, Li Ping smiled: "Seeing Shi Feixuan is like seeing an old friend; it really brings back memories."
"Does practicing the Cihang Sword Manual eventually make one resemble it more and more?"
"Your Cihang Jingzhai's cultivation method is indeed quite miraculous, even to the point of being somewhat bizarre."
"Could it be that every generation of your Cihang Jingzhai disciples has been possessed by Di Ni?"
When Shi Feixuan came to see Li Ping, she had imagined many scenarios, but she did not expect that the first thing Li Ping said was this.
She immediately shook her head, her eyes showing a mixture of grievance and annoyance: "Brother Li has misunderstood."
"If our Cihang Sword Manual is to accept personal disciples, it emphasizes that they have a tacit understanding and a shared understanding."
"Just like me, when I take on a personal disciple in the future, I will look for a disciple whose spirit is very similar to mine and who shares my mind."
"What do you mean by 'possessing a body through the Sword Manual'? Do you think Jingzhai is such a monster?"
"I see!" Li Ping snapped his fingers. "Feixuan, I took the things, but I don't want to fight with you."
"I have a good friend who is also a disciple of your Cihang Jingzhai. She has been kind to me in teaching me, and I don't want to fight with her fellow disciples."
Hearing this, even Shi Feixuan couldn't hold back anymore: "Then why did you come to steal my things?"
Li Ping's expression turned serious: "What are you saying? I snatched this from Xu Ziling. If you want trouble, go find him!"
"Besides, this thing was originally ownerless. If you get it, it's yours, so if I get it, it's mine."
"If we really follow the rules, this thing originally belonged to Qin Shi Huang. Let's check the generations and see who was closest to him."
"My mother's surname is Qin; she's a member of the Qin royal family..."
Li Shimin couldn't help but laugh so hard he pounded the table.
Hua Zhenzhen couldn't hold back either: "Qin Shi Huang, his surname was Ying..."
Shi Feixuan couldn't help but smile wryly: "Brother Li, isn't this just being a scoundrel?"
Li Ping said very seriously, "My mother was originally a descendant of the Qin state, but in order to escape Liu Bang's pursuit of the Qin royal family, she changed her surname to Qin."
Shi Feixuan said helplessly, "Liu Bang was quite lenient towards the Qin royal family. Xiang Yu slaughtered many members of the Qin royal family, but not as many as Hu Hai."
Li Ping was "very shocked": "Really? Why don't you tell me about this history? I didn't pay much attention in history class."
Shi Feixuan finally understood that Li Ping's rambling and irrelevant talk was clearly a sign that he didn't want to repay the debt.
Li Shimin laughed even louder.
He had actually recognized Qin Chuan, who had chatted with him earlier, as Shi Feixuan. Seeing this sharp-tongued woman repeatedly getting the short end of the stick in front of Li Ping, he found it very interesting.
Shi Feixuan finally got straight to the point: "Then what would it take for Brother Li to return the He Shi Bi to me?"
"And who is that fellow disciple of mine you know? Should I ask her to come and talk to you?"
Li Ping sighed, "She won't be born for several hundred years..."
Shi Feixuan shook her head and smiled wryly: "Brother Li, do you just enjoy teasing Feixuan like this?"
Li Ping looked very seriously into her eyes: "I'm telling the truth. I won't return the He Shi Bi. How about you have someone carve one out of a radish and say that this is the He Shi Bi? I think that'll work. Anyway, no one has ever seen it before."
"Besides, even without the He Shi Bi jade, Brother Li would still have the last laugh and become the famous Emperor Taizong of Tang."
Upon hearing this, Li Shimin's heart trembled.
Seeing that Li Ping didn't seem to be lying, Shi Feixuan was extremely surprised: "Could it be that Brother Li also understands divination and prophecy?"
Li Ping, with a straight face, fidgeted with his fingers: "I am the 78th generation descendant of the Yin-Yang School. My master created the Tui Bei Tu, which can reveal the past and future!"
"I'm going out to kill someone, and since I have some free time now, I'll tell you about it."
"Let's begin with Brother Shimin's confrontation with Xue Ju and his son..."
Li Ping then recounted the Battle of Qianshuiyuan, how Li Shimin initially suffered a defeat but ultimately triumphed, decisively defeating Xue Ju and his son.
He also recounted the Battle of Baibi, how he pursued Song Jingang for hundreds of miles, fought eight battles in one day in Queshu Valley, and defeated him.
It also recounts how he defeated 100,000 with only 3,000 outside Hulao Pass, and how the Heavenly Strategy was bestowed with divine titles...
Then he talked about how he defeated Liu Heita, who had swept through Hebei...
Shi Feixuan's eyes sparkled. She "knew" that Li Ping was "talking nonsense," but Li Ping's story was so captivating and detailed that she couldn't help but want to keep listening.
Li Shimin was extremely excited. Although he also thought it was nonsense, he felt that Li Ping's speech was very inspiring and very much in line with his own style.
This is truly a kindred spirit!
Then Li Ping shrugged and said, "I won't go into the rest, otherwise Brother Li will be unhappy if he hears it."
"You see, whether or not Brother Li has the He Shi Bi jade doesn't make much of a difference. Or do you, Miss Shi, think that without the He Shi Bi jade, Brother Li can't accomplish anything?"
Shi Feixuan was speechless. After a long while, she shook her head and smiled bitterly: "Brother Li's words are sharp, and I can't defend myself. With Brother Li's lightness skill, no one in the world can snatch the He Shi Bi from you."
Unexpectedly, Li Ping said, "If you can invite Ning Daoqi to Luoyang within two days, I would be happy to spar with him."
"I know that one of his eight moves in the freehand style can transform true qi into form, making it extremely agile. I really want to see it."
Among the three grandmasters, Ning Daoqi, the "Sanren Zhenren," possessed the Eight Strikes of Sanshou, which he fully displayed during his battle with Song Que.
The only move Li Ping remembered was that one; it left a deep impression on him.
When he faced Kou Zhong, he used his true energy to simulate a fish, which was agile and lifelike, indistinguishable from a live fish.
When facing Song Que, he used his true energy to simulate a flock of birds, which were just as agile and free as a flock of birds.
Li Ping really wanted to witness such an amazing skill.
True Qi already possesses a spirit; if it can transform from formless to form, wouldn't it be very close to the fiery blade strike from Kumārajīva back then?
Shi Feixuan's eyes widened: "Brother Li, are you preparing to challenge Master Ning?"
Li Ping said, "A challenge is fine, a friendly spar is fine, but could you please pass on a message for me..."
"Here's what we'll do: if he comes, and if I lose, then I'll return the He Shi Bi to you."
Shi Feixuan's eyes lit up: "Brother Li, is it a deal?"
Li Ping said, "Of course!"
Shi Feixuan left just like that. Afterwards, Li Shimin stood up and looked at Li Ping very sincerely: "Brother Li, I am honored that you think so highly of me."
"If you are willing to help me, everything you have said may really come true."
He felt that Li Ping understood him!
A true friend!
Li Ping shook his head and sighed, "I'm sorry, I have my reasons."
Li Shimin smiled and said, "Everyone has their own ambitions, and we cannot force them, but I believe my sincerity will eventually move you, Brother Li."
He then turned and left.
Watching the two leave, Li Ping murmured, "The time to kill has come..."
