Asura Emperor Venerable

Chapter 111: Chapter 111 The Lost Sister

“Brilliant! It’s truly brilliant!”

“I feel like I’ve suddenly had an epiphany; this is how it should be practiced.”

“This really broadens one’s horizons!”

People around were exclaiming in amazement, and then, such voices quickly lowered and disappeared into thin air.

Damn, these were Shi Hao’s words.

This guy was essentially calling them trash, yet they were still clapping and cheering. Weren’t they just slapping their own faces?

Whatever happened to picking out faults?

Everyone looked at each other, but no one had the courage to stand up because Shi Hao’s explanation was simple yet profound, with every word worth pondering and comprehending. How could they refute that?

Moreover, their abilities were limited; they truly didn’t know where to start picking faults.

Luo Qing’er’s eyes also lit up as she looked towards Shi Hao, her gaze profound.

Seeing the goddess’s attention once again drawn away by Shi Hao, everyone felt both angry and regretful.

If they had known earlier, they would not have pushed Shi Hao into the spotlight.

Look at him, previously quiet and unassuming very low-key. But they just had to prod the fire, wanting to see Shi Hao embarrass himself in public. What was the result?

Not only did they make the other party shine brilliantly, but even the goddess was attracted.

How infuriating!

“Hehe, all this talk is cheap, why not try out a match?” someone suddenly said.

“That’s right. We’re all martial artists. When fighting, we use our fists and swords, not our mouths.”

“Speculation on paper is inferior to actual combat!”

More people began to jeer, although they all felt somewhat grateful to Shi Hao internally, with the goddess present, they needed to smear Shi Hao’s image; otherwise, Luo Qing’er might actually be charmed away by him.

“Young Master Shi, how about showing us some of your moves?” A young man around twenty years old jumped out and crooked his finger at Shi Hao.

They were already in the martial arts training field, so a small step was all that was needed to start a fight.

Shi Hao wore a half-smile, shaking his head. “Forget it. My punch is heavy; I’m afraid I might kill someone.”

For a moment, there was silence all around, followed by roaring laughter.

It was just too funny. A sixteen- or seventeen-year-old boy, who had only practiced martial arts for two or three years, actually had the audacity to say he was afraid of killing someone.

“He’s chickened out.”

“Let it go, since he has chickened out, don’t push him anymore.”

“After all, he’s just a youth; don’t scare him.”

People commented one after another. Since Shi Hao had shown timidity on the spot, let it be; after all, what Shi Hao had said earlier was very enlightening for them.

The young man who had stepped forward sat back down, looking as triumphant as if he had won a battle.

What’s the use of being good-looking? What does it matter if you talk a good game?

This world values strength!

People resumed their discussion, all revolving around Luo Qing’er, catering to her interests.

“Let me say a few words too.” At this moment, a young man stood up, handsome and stately with sword-like eyebrows and starry eyes. He stood much taller than an average person, giving off an air of casual confidence that made others feel inferior.

Of course, he still paled in comparison to Shi Hao.

“Yue Junxian!”

“The king among the younger generation.”

“I heard he’s already an advanced martial master.”

“Wrong, I heard he has reached the Martial Sect level.”

“No, no, he’s a Martial Venerable!”

Everyone whispered among themselves, but without exception, all exuded intense envy.

Yue Junxian, the number one youth of the Imperial Capital.

This was a title bestowed personally by the Emperor, and even the Crown Prince was exceedingly polite to him, addressing him as Brother Yue.

Many people were puzzled, wondering why the Royal Family valued Yue Junxian so highly, which was definitely over the top. However, if they knew about the White Cloud Sect, they would have understood in an instant.

Dual Spirit Root, wasn’t that enough?

“Please speak, Young Master Yue,” Luo Qing’er said with a smile, her cordiality evident as her smile felt like a breath of spring.

Yue Junxian’s spirit perked up, and he began to speak.

Shi Hao’s insights had earlier left little to be said about the Rigorous Wind Palm; now, another style of martial arts was being discussed.

His knowledge was not ordinary either, earning frequent nods of approval from the crowd, who secretly praised the young man as deserving of the title ‘young generation king’.

However, Shi Hao just smiled. He didn’t believe Yue Junxian possessed such insight; it was probably the teaching of the Second Elder that Yue had memorized and was now reciting.

He didn’t bother to expose him, what did it have to do with him?

Bored again, Shi Hao decided to leave.

“Ladies and gentlemen, Qing’er would like to ask you all for a favor,” Luo Qing’er suddenly spoke up, waving her hand, and a maid immediately presented a rolled-up piece of paper.

At once, everyone quieted down.

Luo Qing’er took the paper, untied the ribbon, and unrolled it, revealing a portrait.

The figure in the portrait was graceful and elegant, not only beautiful in face but also incredibly voluptuous.

The men secretly salivated over her; although this woman was slightly less beautiful than Luo Qing’er, her figure was so hot it made one contemplate sin. However, in the presence of Luo Qing’er, naturally, no one dared to show it, maintaining their composure instead.

“This is my sister from whom I have been separated since childhood,” Luo Qing’er showed the portrait to everyone, “I have been searching for my sister all this time but have never found her. I beg you all for your help, and should anyone find my sister, I will fulfill any one request they might have!”

Upon hearing the last sentence, everyone let their imaginations run wild.

Any one request?

Could it be to ask her to marry oneself?

And, considering her sister’s attractiveness, how wonderful would it be to have both the sisters? At that point, one might worry about not being strong enough to handle it.

“Fairy Luo, rest assured, I will definitely find your sister for you!”

“Leave this matter to me.”

“Hehe, when it comes to finding people, you’ve got to look to the Yang Family!”

Chests were thumped as everyone scrambled to make promises.

Yet Shi Hao revealed a surprised expression, for he recognized the woman in the portrait.

Ruan Jiaoyu, the proprietress of Zixing Jade Store.

She was Luo Qing’er’s sister?

A thought crossed Shi Hao’s mind, and he suddenly stood up, saying, “I recognize the woman in the portrait.”

“Oh?” Luo Qing’er immediately showed delight.

“Fairy Luo, don’t listen to his nonsense,” someone hastily said.

“Right, he must be deceiving Fairy Luo with ulterior motives!”

“Fairy, it’s best to throw him out.”

The crowd clamored in protest, finding him shameless. How could there be someone so brazen?

Oh, so you claim to know the person she’s looking for?

How could such a coincidence be true?

Shi Hao ignored them and simply stated, “That person is in Hua Yuan Nation.”

“Hahaha, that’s hilarious.”

“If she’s Fairy Luo’s sister, how could she possibly be in Hua Yuan Nation?”

“Kid, do you think crossing the border is that easy?”

“Besides, with such a distance, who knows how many beasts and bandits she’d encounter on the way. How could a weak woman travel so far?”

The bystanders pointed out, convinced that the young man was trying to lure Luo Qing’er to Hua Yuan Nation and then take advantage of her halfway through the journey.

Such vile, despicable, shameless behavior… But why didn’t I think of such a good plan?
