Fenglin Inn, Room No. 3 of the Heaven Class, King Lee held a glass of fine wine, gazing deeply into the distance.
Every time he initiated the "Back and Forth Grand Technique," a faint melancholy and deep affection enveloped him.
To move others, one must first move oneself. If King Liu, who cultivated the "Forget Love Hammer," was the most emotionless among the four Heavenly Kings, then he was the other extreme, the most affectionate one.
There was always a saying within the White Sock Divine Sect: "I love Li Ming, Li Ming loves me." This is not mere talk, for those who love King Lee always receive his heartfelt response.
His singing has a magical power that makes people become affectionate.
And the emptiness after deep affection further drives people into a frenzy akin to being injected with adrenaline.
This is the ingenious part of the "Back and Forth Grand Technique," which can play with a person’s mood, making them calm and melancholic, and then swiftly ignite their inner desires after this calm melancholy.
However, at this moment, King Lee, holding the Night Light Cup filled with fine wine, was frozen there.
Because he heard Yun Congyun’s words.
I stir you to advance and attack Old Demon Duan, yet you go off to deliver a wife to Old Demon Duan?
Your face? Your dignity? Your morals?
Facing the respectful kneeling of the Yunjian Sect’s senior disciple couple and their eager gazes, Duan Yun was momentarily at a loss about what to do next.
If it were a matter of stealing or robbing secret techniques, that would be easily resolved: beat them to death or cripple them, or directly tame them as mounts, and kill them after riding—they are all feasible.
But they were so polite, even willing to give you the most beloved wife, leaving Duan Yun genuinely unsure how to proceed.
The saying "Do not strike someone who’s smiling" embodies this reasoning.
Among the people of the Martial World, hunger for Divine Skills is a norm, and Duan Yun is not a stingy person; otherwise, he wouldn’t have ventured deeply into various sects in Qinghe City to personally preach, allowing the Iron Blood Sect and others to reach new heights.
However, even if Young Hero spreads teachings, it’s not done casually; at least one’s character and virtue must pass, otherwise they end up like Hua Wen and Hua Wu, rather than become heroic knights guided to success by heroes.
Duan Yun looked at Yun Congyun and said, "Do you really want to learn?"
"Of course I do!" Yun Congyun replied excitedly.
At this moment, not only Yun Congyun but everyone else was getting immensely stirred.
Everyone curses Old Demon Duan, yet everyone desires to possess Old Demon Duan’s methods!
If they owned Old Demon Duan’s methods and without his madness, focusing only on cunning and killing, life would be beautiful.
"Then let’s see if you’re qualified!"
As Duan Yun spoke, he stretched out his hand and suddenly pressed down on the other’s head.
As the Beiming Divine Skill activated, a gust blew through the inn, blurring Yun Congyun’s visage.
Someone shouted, and those seated throughout the inn suddenly huddled toward the corners, hoping to shield themselves by placing others in front.
Indeed, when Old Demon’s Demon Technique was unleashed, the wind and clouds changed suddenly.
In an instant, streams of True Qi and memory fragments from Yun Congyun flooded into Duan Yun’s mind.
"Revive the glory of the Yunjian Sect; it’s our duty!"
"Father and elders are old, only wanting to enjoy life through my sister’s status as an imperial concubine, with no intention of striving for improvement."
"Yunjian Sect cannot remain stagnant; it must learn higher martial arts to ensure survival and move forward in the Martial World!"
"Madam, I have an unsuitable request."
"I want to offer you to Young Hero Duan in exchange for a chance to soar!"
"A chance to change myself, change the Jade Sword Sect!" Follow current novels on N()velFire.net
"Wanwan, why are you excited too?"
Duan Yun recoiled as if shocked by electricity, stopping the Beiming Divine Skill.
Right now, Yun Congyun, apart from having some odd ideas like giving his wife as a dog-like scheme, still had the potential to be a good seedling.
His memory showed no evil deeds; since childhood, he only thought about practicing martial arts, eventually realizing the limits of his family’s martial arts, thus pondering day and night on ways to integrate more high-level martial arts.
He devised the idea of offering his wife because he genuinely loved her and desperately wanted to advance!
He believed that only by offering his beloved woman could he obtain the secret techniques to change himself and the sect’s situation.
Duan Yun looked at Yun Congyun, whose expression was somewhat dazed while taking deep breaths, and said, "I can teach you."
"Really?" Yun Congyun immediately reacted, ecstatically.
"You want to learn new martial arts to change the fate of the Yunjian Sect?" Duan Yun continued.
"Yes, I want to change the Yunjian Sect’s increasingly rotten and deplorable fate."
Duan Yun said seriously: "Then I have a Cultivation Technique I can pass on to you; come to my room after nightfall."
Yun Congyun joyfully exclaimed, "Thank you, Hero!"
Just as the words fell, someone shouted from behind: "Young Hero Duan, my wife is also extraordinary!"
"My wife is indeed a famous treasure in Qingzhou!"
Upon hearing this, Mrs. Yun—Wan Congyan hurried towards Duan Yun, eager to attend to his needs.
Duan Yun refused and said, "A hero doesn’t seize what others desire; Madam, please return."
With that, he took Little Yin to the room.
At that instant, Yun Congyun and his wife Wan Congyan both wore expressions of disappointment.
"Hero, take my wife!"
These were his true feelings, yet he dared not utter them.
Everyone knew Old Demon Duan was petty and disliked others defying him.
At this moment, someone reacted and said, "Young Hero, if you dislike wives, my daughter is also among Qingzhou’s top ten famous treasures!"
"I treasure your mother; can your daughter compare to mine? My wife and daughter both have the ’Innate Glazed Glass Famous Ice Body’, certified by the three major sects!"
At this moment, Duan Yun’s voice floated by again—"Those who’ve harmed no innocents and consider themselves good people can come."
