I am live-streaming Q&A in comprehensive wuxia world, a large-scale social death scene

Chapter 32 Lianxing: Sister, you’re such a sickly, bad woman!

In the live stream room, Ye Luo Chuan watched as the barrage filled with mocking and critical comments. He wasn’t the least bit surprised.

In his past life, it was clear: the so-called ‘Sword Qi Debate’ in the Huashan Sect was fundamentally a power struggle within the sect. And Yue Buqun had indeed misled his disciples.

As Xiong Ba said in the barrage, Yue Buqun wasn’t unaware of the concept of ‘balancing sword and qi’, but he couldn’t admit it. Because he was from the Qi Sect. Butt decides the head!

For someone from the Qi Sect, they must speak for the Qi Sect. That’s ‘correct thinking’!

Even if he knew it was wrong, he had to instill it in his disciples. Yue Buqun kept saying that the Sword Sect was an evil sect, a heretical path.

But secretly?

He was practicing the Sword Sect’s “Three Immortal Swords of Death!”

The “Three Immortal Swords of Death” had only three moves, executed in a connected sequence, each move leading into the next. First, a straight overhead chop.

If the opponent dodged, the sword would circle around and slash horizontally at the waist. If the opponent managed to avoid that, leaping over the sword, the sword would then whip back and thrust at their back, which was nearly impossible to avoid unless they had eyes on the back of their head.

During the Sword Qi Duel, Sword Sect disciples used these three moves to kill several Qi Sect masters. Later, the Sword Sect was defeated, and the Qi Sect took control of the Huashan Sect.

Many Qi Sect experts later studied these three sword moves, condemning them as entering the demonic path, because they sought only the brilliance of the sword technique, forgetting the fundamental principle of the Qi Sect—using qi to control the sword.

But despite the public denouncement, secretly, they still admired the sword’s power. Yue Buqun secretly practiced these three moves and kept it hidden from everyone. Later, when he sparred with Linghu Chong at Shaolin Temple, in a moment of desperation, he accidentally used this sword technique from the Sword Sect—something he had always belittled—exposing his secret.

To call Yue Buqun a hypocrite wasn’t an exaggeration.

Old Jin once said that “The Smiling, Proud Wanderer” is a political allegory.

When Ye Luo Chuan first read “The Smiling, Proud Wanderer”, he couldn’t understand what that meant.

But after reading it several times, he finally understood. As for what this allegory was hinting at?

By combining the timing of its release, it was clear.

(Note 1: The plot of “The Smiling, Proud Wanderer” corresponds to the original work.)

(Note 2: This analysis is objective, no forced blackwashing or whitewashing. All details are derived directly from the original text, with reasoning and evidence.)

(Note 3: Linghu Chong and Yue Buqun are high-profile characters; both the good and bad aspects will be explored later.)

As Ye Luo Chuan pondered, the four people in the live stream room were all wearing grim expressions, their hearts uneasy. The truth was, they couldn’t be blamed for answering the question incorrectly. It wasn’t about intelligence.

As they had thought, Linghu Chong didn’t deceive himself into destroying the solution technique; he had intended to tell his master and mistress about the secret of the stone cave.

But both times, his attempts were interrupted, and after each interruption, the person left quickly, giving Linghu Chong no chance to speak.

Of course, Linghu Chong could have shouted after they left, but he assumed he would have another chance after half a month. Who knew that when the exam came half a month later, he used the solution technique from the stone wall to break through Ning Zhongze’s ‘Peerless Sword’ technique, only to be slapped hard by Yue Buqun.

The slap left Linghu Chong dizzy, with his cheeks swollen, turning purple and blue. It was no light slap. Yue Buqun harshly scolded him, calling him a ‘little beast’ and accusing him of going down the wrong path. Then, he went on to talk about the ‘Sword Qi Debate’.

Who would dare to reveal the secret after that?

If Linghu Chong had revealed that he had learned the techniques from the stone wall, Yue Buqun would have likely not slapped him again, but struck him with a sword.

After all, the Qi Sect had been ruthless when they slaughtered the Sword Sect in the past. If they put themselves in Yue Buqun’s shoes, Lianxing and the others felt they would never dare to speak again.

“Damn Yue Buqun! Such an obstinate, old fool!” Lianxing, Long Xiaoyun, and Tian Boguang cursed inwardly.

They didn’t care about Huashan Sect’s internal struggles, but this had led to them answering incorrectly!

Yilin also had a bitter look on her face. She had long hair and loved meat, but she didn’t know what kind of trouble the live stream would bring her next.

Lianxing glanced at Ye Luo Chuan, wanting to ask how he had answered the question earlier.

Just then, the cold, impersonal voice of the live stream host cut in. Lianxing’s heart tightened, and her attention was instantly diverted.

【This time’s question was answered incorrectly by Long Xiaoyun, Lianxing, Yilin, and Tian Boguang.】

【Long Xiaoyun’s random punishment is as follows:】

【Balding (Permanent hairstyle): The Mediterranean look is a standard feature for older men. Now you have it early.】

A beam of light fell, and Long Xiaoyun immediately felt a cold breeze on top of his head. He reached up to touch it, and his lips twitched as his face turned grim.

The punishment, while not physically harmful, was a huge psychological blow!

Mediterranean.

Balding man.

And it was permanent!

His previously heroic image was gone!

“Pfft!”

Li Yuan and everyone around them couldn’t help but laugh, and even Li Xunhuan tried to suppress his laughter but failed, with his lips twitching uncontrollably.

大哥, not that we’re making fun of you, but… hahahaha!

Li Xunhuan thought, feeling apologetic.

Under the red veil, Lin Shiyin also smiled faintly, momentarily forgetting her sorrow.

【Yangzhou’s Twin Dragons, Kou Zhong: Hahaha, Long Xiaoyun’s hairstyle, my teeth almost fell out from laughing!】

【Mongolian Golden Blade, Prince Guo Jing: Well, no worries, just shave the rest of your hair off when you get back.】

【Peach Blossom Island, Huang Rong: Silly, didn’t you see “Permanent Hairstyle”? The remaining hair can’t be shaved off.】

【Mongolian Golden Blade, Prince Guo Jing: Oh…】

Long Xiaoyun’s hairstyle had caused countless laughs in the live stream. No one had expected the live stream to have such a playful punishment.

“I won’t get the permanent Mediterranean hairstyle, will I?”

Lianxing’s heart raced, and she felt extremely nervous. She was the second leader of Yihua Palace, graceful and unmatched in beauty, rivaling her sister Yaoyue.

If she ended up with a Mediterranean look, it would be a social death!

A balding beauty?

Lianxing shuddered, feeling that if this really happened, she might as well die. Amid her anxiety, the punishment arrived.

【Lianxing’s random punishment is as follows:】

【Shout three times: Sister, you’re such a sickly, bad woman!】
