Being an otaku in the world of American comics

#220 - If life could only be like the first time we met

"Before my mother passed away, the last thing she bought for me was candied hawthorns. After I was struck by the Xuanming Palm, she gave me three candied hawthorns, telling me to eat one whenever I was in pain."

"When they passed away, you ate one?"

"Yes, the remaining two have already dried out, but I will keep them safe."

"Young Master, don't be sad. Now that the cold poison has been completely removed and you have gained unparalleled power, your parents in heaven will surely be happy for you."

"Hehe~ I'm just feeling sentimental at the sight of these things. But you're right, now that I possess unparalleled power, I naturally can't let them down.

In the future, I will definitely avenge them with my own hands, and I will become a pillar of strength so that they can be proud of me even in the afterlife!"

"That's right, Young Master."

"Ah, when you were little..."

......

At this moment, Liang Yue, who was sitting aside, taking out the Yangtao wine from his storage space and drinking it by himself, couldn't help but chuckle as he listened to the young couple pouring out their hearts and sharing their tragic childhoods.

With a turn of his gaze, he looked out at the bustling city streets.

To be honest, Liang Yue was still very unfamiliar with the history of the Yuan Dynasty.

Of course, the key point was that he didn't specialize in studying this.

And for this period of rule by the Mongol Yuan, Liang Yue's only impression was that the textbooks emphasized that the great Kublai Khan promoted the integration of multiple ethnic groups.

Then, there were some high-sounding, dry, and unemotional objective descriptions.

The general content was like ~ how we view the rise and development history of the British Empire, which is a colonial history full of blood and tears, black slaves, trade, Opium, wars, and other kinds of ugliness and greed.

But in their own records, they mostly say that they objectively promoted the unification of the world market.

Then, they also brought advanced civilization, advanced languages, advanced medical systems, educational systems, legal systems, etc., to backward areas...

You can't say that this statement is wrong, but it is obviously too one-sided and beautified too much.

Just like once, when Liang Yue was chatting with Elizabeth, he asked her.

What do you think your British Empire looks like in the eyes of the people of the world?

Then the blonde girl's answer was, gentleman... rich... old power...

Liang Yue then told her, it's a shit stirrer...

Then, Liang Yue was bitten on the neck by the blonde girl~

......

"Hurry up and bring wine and dishes! Quick!"

"Yes, yes, yes, please wait a moment, sir."

Just as Liang Yue was looking at the comings and goings outside the window, but the cautious street scene was slowly starting to become somewhat lost in thought, a burst of noise suddenly came from behind him.

Turning his head to look, it turned out to be four extras dressed as martial arts figures.

"That's right!"

"If we are late and miss this grand event of heroes encircling and annihilating the Demon Sect, it would be a pity!"

"Yes, ah~!"

......

However, these people had only bragged for a few words when they were immediately interrupted by Zhao Min, who was in the next compartment, discussing the plan to encircle and annihilate Bright Peak and the Six Major Sects with Cheng Kun, who was disguised as a Shaolin monk.

"What if you make it in time? Isn't it just a few more people going to die? The Ming Cult has the Four Guardian Kings of Purple, White, Gold, and Blue, and the indestructible Five Elements Flags under their command. Just with you few small characters.

Want to wipe them out? Stop dreaming!"

The contempt in her tone instantly angered the four extras who were shouting slogans loudly.

The four of them immediately slammed the table, stood up angrily, and the leader, at this moment, was glaring at the white-clothed figure in the next compartment with a face full of anger, and shouted.

"He must be a member of the Demon Sect, seize him first!"

"Yes!"

As soon as he finished speaking, before they could start drawing their swords, eight archers suddenly jumped out of the compartment.

"Swish~!" After a volley of arrows.

The four extras immediately screamed and fell to the ground, the arrows hitting their vital points, and they became silent in the blink of an eye.

If Liang Yue guessed correctly, these eight people should be the eight archers under Zhao Min's command, collectively known as the Eight Heroes of Divine Arrows.

At this moment, the white-clothed figure, who had been facing away from the crowd, slowly walked out from behind the hanging flag.

His steps carried an air of nobility, and although his face looked very young, every move exuded a contradictory sense of elegance and composure.

Coupled with that fair and delicate face, and the composure of slowly walking out from the middle of the eight subordinates who had just ruthlessly killed.

White clothes fluttering, hair crown neat.

At first glance, he really looked like a dashing young master of a chaotic world.

Liang Yue was holding his spherical video recorder at this time, and timely recorded the scene in front of him, looking at the stunning Zhao Min's male attire in the picture.

A hint of regret flashed in his eyes, and then he couldn't help but shook his head.

"Anyway, they will all die in the end."

Afterwards, Liang Yue also sighed with some emotion, and softly recited.

"If life were only as beautiful as the first meeting, why would the autumn breeze sadly wave the painted fan?

Casually changing the old heart, yet saying that the old heart is easily changed.

The Lishan Mountain words ended halfway through the clear night, the tears and rain of Lingling finally without resentment.

How can it compare to the ungrateful brocade-clad young man, the wish for the conjoined branches and wings on that day, haha ​​haha~"

Having said that, this fellow smiled and put the round recording device into his wide sleeves.

Looking up, he saw that everyone on the second floor of the inn, whether ordinary diners, Zhao Min in white, or Zhang Wuji and Xiao Zhao, who were hiding behind the door frame, were all looking at him.

At this moment, some people were savoring the poem, some were pondering it, and some just felt that the poem he recited was somewhat profound and impressive~

Then, the first to speak was Zhao Min, who was fanning herself with a folding fan across from him.

At this moment, her face was flushed with a radiant glow, and her bright eyes contained a hint of a smile that was not quite a smile as she looked at him and said.

"Little Taoist priest, this is not the place for you to show off. Your writing is not bad, but it's a pity it's not appropriate for the occasion!"

Liang Yue thought, "...When it's really appropriate, you'll probably cry to death."

"Let's decide on the matter of Bright Summit like this. There are too many people here, so this monk will take his leave."

At this time, a masked monk behind Zhao Min in white slowly approached and bowed to her softly.

Just at this moment, another burst of footsteps came from the stairs, and then two people with copper crutches and a fierce aura slowly walked up.

One of the two had disheveled hair and a tiger-like face, holding a deer-head crutch in his hand, while the other had fierce eyebrows and a cunning face, holding a crane-head copper staff.

If Liang Yue guessed correctly, these two should be Zhao Min, or rather, the highest combat power under Prince Ru's command, the Xuanming Elders.

He didn't remember their specific names, only that one was known in the martial world as Deer Staff Guest, and the other was called Crane Pen Weng.

The two brothers have been inseparable for many years since they entered the martial world. They cooperate very well with each other and have a notorious reputation in the martial arts world.

As soon as he saw these two, Zhang Wuji, who had been keeping a low profile and hiding behind the door frame, immediately became excited, clenching his fists and with hatred in his eyes.

If it weren't for Xiao Zhao pulling him back, he would have rushed up now.

But thinking about it, it's normal, after all, they are enemies of many years.

Ever since he was hit hard by the Xuanming Palm as a child, Zhang Wuji had to endure the erosion of the cold poison in his body every day for more than eight years, agonizing in painful torment.

Every time the cold poison attacked, he would probably grit his teeth with hatred for these Xuanming Elders in his heart.

If it weren't for the fact that he had the great master Zhang Sanfeng by his side, who would constantly accumulate internal energy for him every day to suppress the cold poison, this young man might have been frozen into an ice cube and died miserably in some corner.

Frankly speaking, if this matter were to happen to Liang Yue, even if he was just an ordinary person, he would definitely try to kill these two people by any means.

If he also possessed Zhang Wuji's current Nine Yang Divine Skill, and also had the profound internal energy that Zhang Sanfeng had continuously accumulated for more than eight years, he would definitely choose to rush up and kill them at the first opportunity…

"As the saying goes~ A gentleman doesn't hold a grudge overnight, any grudges should be avenged on the same day. It seems that this Zhang Wuji is not a gentleman, and his scheming is also somewhat deep…"

Liang Yue placed his hands flat on the table at this time, resting his chin on them, his eyes constantly scanning back and forth over the group of people around him, watching the excitement with great interest.

However, he had no intention of taking action, because it was far from the right time.

…

"Mr. Deer~"

"Greetings, Young Master, Master, we will leave the matter of Bright Summit to you."

"It's easy to say~ Please give my regards to the Emperor for this monk, I'll take my leave."

…

"Young Master, do you know them?"

"Of course! It was they who injured me with the Xuanming Palm eight years ago! I can't wait to…"

"Don't be impulsive, they have so many experts, be careful you'll be outnumbered."

…

"What's all the noise about! Who's hiding there, come out!"

With an angry shout, Deer Staff Guest immediately turned his gaze, scanned Liang Yue who was lying beside him, and then aimed at Zhang Wuji and Xiao Zhao behind the door.

"What are you doing sneaking around there!"

Seeing that they were just a young couple, the old man's face was still gloomy, and then he walked over step by step with his deer-head staff, continuing with a look of condescension and coercion.

"Brat, what are you looking at?"

Zhang Wuji clenched his fists tightly at this time, but tried his best to maintain his composure on his face, remaining silent.

"This kid looks a little familiar."

Crane Pen Weng stood beside Zhao Min in white at this time, with a strange look on his face.

Liang Yue could naturally feel the solemn atmosphere at the scene at this time. Although Zhang Wuji was lowering his head slightly, he was secretly mobilizing his internal energy, ready to attack at any time.

However, in the end, Zhao Min, the person with the highest status in the field, lightly resolved the conflict with a single sentence.

"Forget it, they're just a young couple talking about love there, let's go."

After saying that, Zhao Min in white led the crowd downstairs.

Before her figure disappeared completely, she also turned her head and glanced at Liang Yue, who was leisurely lying on the table with a faint smile on his face.

Her face suddenly showed a slight surprise, but Zhao Min's footsteps did not stop.
