His voice was filled with sarcasm and disdain. Zhang CuiShan thought these two people would have drawn their swords, or at least rebutted Bai GuiShou, immediately. Yet for some reason, neither did anything, as if they never heard those words. Then Zhang CuiShan looked at their expressions, and figured out that they were so enchanted by Yin SuSu that they forgot about everything else. Zhang CuiShan chuckled inside, thought, "I've always heard that Kun Lun's a very prominent sect, and is famous for its incredible swordsmanship. Who'd have thought that its disciples would be so ill-disciplined?"
Bai GuiShou then added, "This is Wu Dang's Mr. Zhang CuiShan. This is Miss Yin. This is Branch Leader Chang JinPeng." He did not elaborate on these three people when he made the introduction. In fact, he even changed from calling Zhang CuiShan 'Fifth Hero Zhang' to 'Mr. Zhang', obviously to convey their closeness.
Yin SuSu, pleased at his words, turned to look at Zhang CuiShan with a bright smile.
Gao ZeCheng's jealously immediately acted up, stared at Zhang CuiShan angrily, and said coldly, "Martial Brother Jiang, I thought I heard back in western regions that Wu Dang is one of the righteous sects in the central plains." Jiang Tao said, "I believe I heard that too." Gao ZeCheng said, "Guess the sayings weren't all that accurate." Jiang Tao said, "Really? Well, it wouldn't be all that surprising, considering these rumors tend to be wrong most of the time. What's this whole deal about Wu Dang anyway?" Gao ZeCheng said, "How could a disciple of a righteous sect mingle with the members of an evil sect? Guess he really likes to sink to their level." They didn't realize that Yin SuSu is also a member of the Heavenly Eagle Sect, and merely implied Bai GuiShou and Chang JinPeng when they said 'evil sect'.
After hearing these words, Zhang CuiShan immediately became angry. He wanted to rebut, yet stopped himself at the last moment. He thought that since his purpose was to look for Yu DaiYan's killers, there was no need to quarrel needlessly. Besides, the Heavenly Eagle Sect really does deserve the title of an 'evil sect', as Yin SuSu and Chang JinPeng both treat killing people like eating dinner. He certainly should try to associate as little as possible with them. Zhang CuiShan therefore smiled, and responded, "Like my two friends, I'm also just newly acquainted with the Heavenly Eagle Sect."
These words really shocked everyone. Bai GuiShou originally thought that Yin SuSu and him were long time friends. He'd never imagine they're newly acquaintances. Yin SuSu became angry immediately, as Zhang CuiShan's words showed blatant disrespect towards the Heavenly Eagle Sect. Gao and Jiang laughed in their minds, thinking, "What a coward. He must be afraid of our Kun Lun Sect."
Bai GuiShou said, "Looks like everyone's here. We're only missing the young master of the Huge Whale Clan, but let's not wait on him. Everyone can relax for a while, as we'll gather at noon to show the saber." Chang JinPeng said with a smile, "Young Master Mai's boat had some trouble, but Mr. Zhang helped him out. He's currently on my boat, and will make it to the ceremony."
Zhang CuiShan saw that these two branch leaders had treated him with great respect, while Yin SuSu's gaze revealed much tenderness. But on further thought, he felt necessary to stay as far away from these people as possible. So he said, "I want to take a stroll alone." Before anyone could respond, he turned around and started walking into a nearby forest.
Although he felt extremely angry at Yin SuSu's vicious behavior, there's always much warmness in his heart whenever he thought about her. He thought, "This Miss Yin's place in the Heavenly Eagle Sect is very high, but she's not the leader. These two branch leaders treated her like a princess. I wonder what position does she hold?" Then he thought some more, "The Heavenly Eagle Sect obviously want to show off the Dragon Saber, yet they only sent two branch leaders to guard against these other sects. Obviously they felt no need for extra security. Bai GuiShou's kung fu looks to be even higher than Chang JinPeng. From this I can deduce that the Heavenly Eagle Sect is indeed a very powerful group. I really should know more about them, in case they ever become enemies with Wu Dang."
As he was thinking, he began to hear weapons clashing in the distance. Out of curiosity, Zhang CuiShan walked towards the sound, only to see Gao ZeCheng and Jiang Tao practicing swords with each other in the distance, while Yin SuSu watched on the side. Zhang CuiShan thought, "Master always said that Kun Lun sword art is very unique. When he was young, he even fought against a famous Kun Lun Swordsman called the 'Sword Saint'. It really is an amazing opportunity to see their sword art." But it's a big no-no to secretly watch others practice their kung fu, so although Zhang CuiShan really wish to keep watching, he turned away.
However, Yin SuSu had discovered him by now and yelled out, "Come here, Fifth Brother Zhang." If Zhang CuiShan began to leave now, he'd look like he was peeking. So he had no choice but to walk towards her. Zhang CuiShan said to Yin SuSu, "Since they're practicing swords, we really should go away as to not distract them." Before Yin SuSu could respond, a streak of light shined, as Jiang Tao's sword made a cut on Gao ZeCheng's left arm, blood came out. Zhang CuiShan froze, thought that Jiang Tao only accidentally injured Gao ZeCheng. Yet Gao ZeCheng didn't even let out a sound. He simply continued to fight, each sword attack deadlier than the previous one. Zhang CuiShan was shocked to see them actually fighting for real.
Yin SuSu said with a smile, "Looks like the older martial brother is worse than the younger one. Brother Jiang's sword art is more exquisite."
When Gao ZeCheng heard these words, he bit his teeth, his fast sword stretched down at a slanted angle, using the move 'Hundred Meters of Blazing Wind', came slicing down from midair. Zhang CuiShan couldn't help but yell, "Great sword technique!" Jiang Tao immediately evaded, but Gao ZeCheng's just too experienced. In the middle of the technique, he immediately switched to a different technique. The sword tip trembled, piercing into Jiang Tao's left leg. Yin SuSu clapped her hands and said, "Wow, looks like the elder martial brother has a few tricks up his sleeves. Guess he's better after all." Jiang Tao said, "Don't be so sure." And used the technique 'Rain Poured on Flying Flowers'. This technique is very tricky. A real attack hides among seven or eight elegant deceptions to fool the enemy. But since Gao ZeCheng is very familiar with this technique, he was not fooled and blocked every attack. By now, both people are wounded. Although the wounds were not severe, one can still see blood spluttering out from the cuts. Their attacks became more and more ruthless, until near the end they seemingly wanted to take each other's lives. Yin SuSu kept on encouraging them, complimenting a bit on Gao ZeCheng, then a bit on Jiang Tao. The two martial brothers became fueled to the point where they fought as if their lives depended on it.
By now Zhang CuiShan realized that their fight was initiated by Yin SuSu, as revenge for their words against the Heavenly Eagle Sect. Although their techniques are intricate, Zhang CuiShan saw that the two martial brothers lacked experience and inner power. So their amazing sword art could only be exerted at about ten to twenty percent capacity.
Yin SuSu clapped her hands and smiled brightly, as if she's very happy. She said, "Fifth Brother Zhang, what do you think of their Kun Lun sword arts?" Before he could respond, she had turned her head around. When she saw the disgusted look on Zhang CuiShan's face, she added, "Actually, their techniques are all crap. Let's go watch the scenery over there at the beach." Without waiting for his response, Yin SuSu grabbed Zhang CuiShan's hand and began to leave.
