Martial Arts: Starting from a Seemingly Real System

Qiao Rui pointed out that Shushan Cuijian Peak disciples Li Shaobai and Hu Guangming took away his female companion, but Li Shaobai and the others naturally would not admit it.

"That day, you and I went to Medicine King Valley to seek medical treatment. Because I had some relationship with Medicine King Valley, Elder Shuang Jue made an exception and treated me first and refused to make medicine for you first. You held a grudge against him because of this."

"After leaving the valley, I met Tian Jing who was waiting for me in Fucheng. You and Hu Guangming took out your anger on Tian Jing and fought with her. You fought all the way from the city to the abandoned temple in the southern suburbs. Tian Jing was defeated and captured. You coveted her ancient swordsmanship 'Sword of the Yue Girl', and because the Shushan Festival was approaching, you had no time to interrogate her in detail, so you kidnapped Tian Jing and brought her to Shushan to slowly force her to hand over her swordsmanship!"

Qiao Rui recounted what had happened one by one.

Everyone suddenly understood after hearing this. No wonder Qiao Rui had gone to such great lengths before, not hesitating about the revenge of Jia Renyi from the Beggar Gang, in order to make a name for himself among the heroes of the world. Could it be that this was just so that he could openly ask Shushan for the person?

Oh, that’s not right. He said that the Shuangjue Patriarch actually made an exception for him?

The rules of Yaowang Valley that have been in place for so many years were broken just like that. This is not just some relationship, it is clearly a very close relationship. Okay, another tall and big backer.

The eyes of the heroes outside the arena looked at Qiao Rui differently immediately. This guy was about to join the Shaolin Sect and become a Shaolin lay disciple. He was also a relative of Yaowang Valley and a close friend of the Seven Heroes of Wudang Zhenwu. Maybe Huashan Sect also favored him...

It seems that even if you can't make friends with this person, you must never offend him. The connections behind him are too powerful. You can't afford to offend him!

However, although the identity and relationship displayed by Qiao Rui at this moment is quite intimidating, not everyone cares about it, such as the disciples of the Beggars' Sect and the disciples of Shushan.

Li Shaobai looked at Qiao Rui mockingly and said disdainfully, "What evidence do you have to prove that I kidnapped your female companion? Have you ever thought about the consequences of arbitrarily accusing a Shushan disciple?"

"I framed you?" Qiao Rui looked at Li Shaobai with contempt.

"The above events were reported by the Fucheng County Government to the Qingtian Guards and investigated by the Qingtian Guards. Do you think the Qingtian Guards would frame you?" In order to increase the credibility of his words, Qiao Rui deliberately brought up the Qingtian Guards.

Although Qiao Rui subconsciously concealed his identity as the Qingtian Guard and deliberately said that he was the one who went to the county government to report the case and that it was the county government that reported the Qingtian Guard, he overlooked the fact that people in the underworld were most wary of having too much involvement with the government, and were especially wary of the Qingtian Guard, just as people in officialdom were wary of the Jinyi Guard.

As soon as Qiao Rui finished speaking, Meng Cunyi frowned and said dissatisfiedly: "The affairs of the martial arts world are the martial arts world. It's just a small matter. Why did you alarm the government or even the Qingtian Guards?"

Seeing their big reaction to the government and the Qingtian Guards, Qiao Rui shrugged helplessly and spread his hands.

"I'm unfamiliar with Fucheng, so I can only resort to this desperate measure. Even if you don't like the Sky Guards, there's no doubt about their investigation results, right?"

"Hmph!" Li Shaobai sneered and shook his head.

"I don't know about the ability of the Sky Guards to investigate cases, and I don't want to know. I only know that you are talking nonsense and slandering others. I'm afraid that the investigation results are not something you made up casually, right?"

"Are you refusing to admit it?" Qiao Rui's face turned cold. It seemed that this matter was a bit tricky.

"How can you ask me to admit something that is made up out of nothing? You said it was investigated by the Qingtian Guards, so it was investigated by the Qingtian Guards? What makes you think people will believe you?" Li Shaobai said fearlessly.

"You..." Qiao Rui was furious and said, "Do you dare to let me search the Sword Tempering Peak? When I find my friend, I'll see how you can deny it!"

"How dare you! My Sword Tempering Peak is such a place, how can I allow a young man like you to run wild and dare to search it lightly?"

Before Li Shaobai could say anything, a scolding was heard, and an old man stood up from the Shushan Chairman's seat. It was Kong Gaozhen, the master of Shushan's Tempering Sword Peak, also known as the "idiot" in the eyes of the Shuangjue Patriarch.

This man had short curly beard and wide-open eyes. His gaze was as sharp as a sword drawn from its sheath, piercing Qiao Rui's heart.

"Hey! You don't trust the results of the investigation of the Qingtian Guards, and you don't allow anyone to search. Although I am humble, I am not afraid of power. But you and your colleagues at Cuijian Peak are behaving like this, aren't you afraid of causing criticism from the world?" Qiao Rui sneered and said neither humble nor arrogant. He was not easily scared, and there was no way out now.

"Hmph, just based on your random excuses, you want to search my Chuijian Peak. You are disrespecting my Chuijian Peak too much!" Kong Gaozhen scolded.

"What do you want to do?" Qiao Rui was also angry. His disciple was so shameless and his master was also unreasonable. No wonder the ancestor Shuangjue called him a fool.

"Take my sword!" Kong Gaozhen looked at me with a haughty look in his eyes and said proudly, "As long as you can take my sword, I will allow you to search the Sword Tempering Peak. Otherwise, where is the dignity of the Sword Tempering Peak?"

Qiao Rui's face changed. If he was in his prime, he could have taken his sword without any problem. However, after a series of fierce fights, he was injured by Jia Renyi. Although he had taken medicine to heal his wounds, it only suppressed the disease temporarily. How could such internal injuries be recovered so easily?

When he was hit by Tian Shiguang's palm, even after taking top-level internal injury elixir, he still couldn't fully recover overnight, let alone now that he has only adjusted his breathing for a short while.

"inappropriate!"

At the Huashan seat, the head of the sect, Feng Wuya, suddenly said, "Young Master Qiao had previously fought two battles with the Hu people from the border, and then he took three moves from Elder Jia, so he was already seriously injured. Master Kong's move is somewhat deceiving!"

"It is indeed inappropriate. Master Kong, why should he bother with the juniors? Since Li Shaobai has a clear conscience, why not let him accompany Young Master Qiao to Cuijian Peak to stop the gossips of the world!" Wudang Zhenren Xuanyang also said.

"Amitabha, Master Xuanyang is mature and steady, and what he said makes a lot of sense!" Wuwang said with his hands clasped together.

"Bullshit! If you want to climb my Sword Tempering Peak, you'll have to take my sword!"

Seeing that the leaders of Huashan Wudang and Shaolin all spoke in favor of Qiao Rui, Kong Gaozhen was furious, "If any of you don't agree, come over and fight me with swords!"

"Don't be rude, junior brother, be careful with your words!" Meng Cunyi hurriedly stopped Kong Gaozhen. Although his junior brother was wholeheartedly devoted to maintaining the dignity of Cuijian Peak and even Mount Shu, his words and actions were indeed rather reckless.

He looked at the leaders of various factions and the heroes in the audience, and said apologetically: "My junior brother has a straightforward personality, and his words may have offended you. I hope you can forgive me!"

Meng Cunyi bowed and saluted, then changed his tone and said loudly: "Although Young Master Qiao has made great contributions to the Central Plains martial arts world, it is quite rude to ask me for someone from Shushan without any evidence!"

"Haha, who said there is no evidence?" A female voice came, the voice was not loud, but it was clear enough for people to hear.

Behind the group of noble cultivators at the bottom of the Wanjian Guizong Square, a woman rose into the air and jumped into the arena.

The woman was about twenty years old, with a Taoist bun on her head, wearing a light blue Taoist robe, and holding a three-foot-long sword in her hand. Her skin was a little dark yellow, and her face was ordinary, but she had a pair of beautiful phoenix eyes that were extremely lively, clear and bright, and her temperament was outstanding.
