Chapter 34 Shi Xiaocui: Go and defeat Bai Zizai
Shi Zhongyu, upon hearing his mother-in-law say that he had the right to be arrogant, had no choice but to explain.
"Grandma, my son is not arrogant or conceited. What he said on the stage was simply to prevent others from disturbing my training!"
Shi Xiaocui looked Shi Zhongyu up and down, but she couldn't detect any real arrogance in him.
"Indeed, you are not like your grandmaster Bai Zizai or your uncle Bai Wanjian, both of whom are arrogant and overbearing."
After Shi Xiaocui finished speaking, she called to Shi Zhongyu.
"Let's go inside and talk!"
She turned and left.
Shi Zhongyu and Bai Axiu quickly followed.
Upon arriving at the cabinet, Shi Xiaocui gestured for Shi Zhongyu to sit down.
Shi Zhongyu was very proper, and he was curious about why Shi Xiaocui had called him here.
Shi Xiaocui smiled; she was very satisfied with Shi Zhongyu's performance.
She had someone specifically look into Shi Zhongyu.
Rumors circulated in the martial arts world that Shi Zhongyu was a mischievous disciple who had no ambition whatsoever.
That's why the Black and White Heroes sent this kid to the Snow Mountain Sect for discipline.
Now she realizes that everyone in the martial arts world has misjudged her.
This kid isn't just unruly; his dedication to practicing martial arts is truly astonishing.
Shi Xiaocui remained silent and continued to boil tea.
The fireplace in the inner pavilion was warm and cozy, keeping out the biting cold winds of Lingxiao City.
Before long, the water boiled.
Shi Xiaocui personally picked up the purple clay teapot and poured a cup of hot tea for Shi Zhongyu. The tea soup was light and clear, with a cool, refreshing aroma of snow mountain tea.
"Try it. This is a unique snow-capped cloud mist from Lingxiao City. You probably can't get it at Xuansu Manor in Jiangnan."
Shi Zhongyu was flattered and overwhelmed.
"Thank you for the tea, Grandma!"
He tasted the tea and then put down the cup.
Shi Xiaocui glanced at Shi Zhongyu and said casually, "Tell me, how does the tea here compare to the tea from your parents' Xuan Su Manor?"
Upon hearing this, Shi Zhongyu picked up the teacup with both hands and took a small sip.
He then put down his teacup, bowed, and calmly replied, "Grandma, the tea from Xuan Su Zhuang is mild and elegant, with the moisture of Jiangnan, and it has the peaceful taste of my hometown."
"The tea here, Grandma..."
Shi Xiaocui squinted her eyes.
"how?"
"Clear and sweet, lofty and refined, with a unique character."
Shi Zhongyu paused as he spoke, his gaze sincere, his manner perfectly measured.
"The two are different, and I dare not presume to judge which is better. I only find that Xuan Su Zhuang tea warms the body, while Grandma's tea soothes the mind. Each has its own merits, and both are excellent."
Upon hearing this, Shi Xiaocui's eyes flashed with approval, and the corners of her mouth lifted almost imperceptibly.
This child answered tactfully and clearly, without belittling his family or flattering them excessively, demonstrating a sharp and insightful mind.
To have such thoughts at such a young age.
To say this kid is arrogant?
This kind of mindset alone is something that Bai Zizai and Bai Wanjian can't compare to.
In addition, he possesses exceptional talent and a resilient character.
Shi Xiaocui became more and more satisfied with the jade in the stone.
"Good lad..."
After Shi Xiaocui finished speaking, her gaze suddenly sharpened, and she stated her purpose directly.
"Young Shi, you have exceptional talent; you learn swordsmanship in no time. However, your grandmaster Bai Zizai and the others are all arrogant and haughty. Grandma dislikes that very much!"
"In my mother-in-law's opinion, no matter how strong the Snow Mountain Sword Technique is, it is ultimately restrictive and hypocritical."
As she spoke, she lightly tapped her fingertips on the table, her voice turning somewhat cold.
"The sword technique I just demonstrated is my own creation, called the Golden Crow Sword Technique!"
"It's specifically designed to counter the Seventy-Two Styles of Snow Mountain Swordplay. Snow Mountain Swordplay is yin and soft, and it compares itself to a snow mountain. But the swordplay created by Granny is yang and powerful, like the sun high in the sky!"
"As the saying goes, snow fears the sun; once the sun comes out, the snow-capped mountains melt! The Snow Mountain Sword Technique is afraid of my Golden Crow Saber Technique."
Shi Zhongyu understood immediately; the sword technique that Granny Shi had just demonstrated was indeed the Golden Crow Sword Technique.
He understood why Shi Xiaocui created the Golden Crow Blade Technique: it was because she couldn't stand Bai Zizai's growing arrogance.
She was not only dissatisfied with Bai Zizai, but also with her son, Bai Wanjian.
Upon hearing Granny Shi's words, Shi Zhongyu guessed that she probably wanted to teach him swordsmanship.
I just don't know what the conditions will be.
"Grandma, do you want to teach me the Golden Crow Saber Technique?"
Shi Xiaocui looked up at him and nodded slightly.
"Your mother-in-law wants to teach you the Golden Crow Saber Technique, but she has one condition: if you agree, she will teach you everything she knows, without holding back even a single move."
Curious, Shi Zhongyu asked directly, "Grandma, please speak. I can do it. Even if you don't teach me swordsmanship, I won't refuse!"
"Okay, okay!"
Shi Xiaocui nodded in satisfaction.
"My condition is simple: after you learn this sword technique, go and defeat your grandmaster, Bai Zizai!"
Shi Zhongyu was stunned for a moment, then looked up at Shi Xiaocui in disbelief.
what?
he?
Defeat Bai Zizai?
He defeated Bai Zizai after learning just one set of sword techniques?
"Mother-in-law..."
Shi Zhongyu smiled bitterly.
"You must be joking!"
"My master's skill is profound; how could I possibly defeat him?"
Shi Xiaocui said with slight displeasure, "What? Are you scared? I didn't ask you to defeat him right now!"
Shi Zhongyu breathed a sigh of relief.
Shi Xiaocui said calmly, "After you master this sword technique, one day you can use my Golden Crow Sword Technique to defeat the Snow Mountain Sect disciples in front of everyone in Lingxiao City."
"Whether they're from the 'Heaven' generation or the 'Ten Thousand' generation, you must defeat them all!"
Shi Xiaocui spoke with a hint of resentment in her voice.
"And when the opportunity arises in the future, you'll even trample on Bai Zi's face, that old madman's face!"
Her tone carried years of pent-up pride and resentment.
"Boy, I'll let the entire Snow Mountain Sect know that the Snow Mountain Sword Technique isn't the best in the world. My Golden Crow Saber Technique can suppress and even surpass them!"
"I'm going to put an end to their arrogance!"
As Shi Zhongyu listened to Granny Shi's words, he thought to himself that Granny Shi must dislike the arrogant Bai Zizai.
Unaware of Shi Zhongyu's thoughts, Shi Xiaocui said directly, "Young Shi, if you dare to agree, I'll teach you!"
"If you only care about the relationship between your sect and dare not disobey your elders, then leave now and never mention the words 'learning swordsmanship' in front of me again in this lifetime."
Shi Zhongyu smiled when he heard this.
"Since my mother-in-law thinks highly of me and is willing to teach me swordsmanship, what is there for me to be afraid of?"
Shi Zhongyu bowed deeply, his voice firm.
"I promised my mother-in-law that one day I would use the Golden Crow Saber Technique to defeat all the disciples of the Snow Mountain and live up to what she taught me."
Upon hearing this, Shi Xiaocui smiled.
"Young man, your mother-in-law is very satisfied with your answer."
"You must master this sword technique so that the Snow Mountain Sect will be utterly humiliated!"
After Shi Xiaocui finished speaking, she stood up.
She is very decisive and efficient.
"Come on, Grandma will go out and teach you the Golden Crow Sword Technique!"
She paused, then turned to Shi Zhongyu and said, "From today onwards, after dinner every day, you no longer need to go to the side hall to listen to that self-taught Cheng's rambling. You can come directly here to practice the Golden Crow Saber Technique!"
"Your mother-in-law will personally instruct you in the Golden Crow Sword Technique!"
