"Everyone wants to know the truth, but they don't know that the truth is often cruel, and can even make life worse than death."
"Life is like a game of chess, the universe is unpredictable, and heroes laugh at each other! If one day you, the third-ranked scholar, tire of this world, then come to the Peace Inn. I'm looking for a brewing boy here!"
After speaking to Li Xunhuan, Li Chengqian said:
"I'm tired today, let's talk about the Rouge Ranking next time!"
"Wait a minute!"
The all-knowing scholar finally spoke.
"Mr. Li, you are a man of extraordinary wisdom and foresight. Why don't you enlighten me on my 'Weaponry Compendium'?"
Looking at Bai Xiaosheng (Ma De Zhao), Li Chengqian frowned slightly.
"Bai Xiaosheng, I know you want to compete with me, but doing so will only annoy you and serve no other purpose!"
"Hmph, what arrogance! Does Mr. Li mean to say that my 'Weaponry Ranking' is completely worthless!"
The smell of gunpowder filled the inn, and the eyes of the onlookers lit up.
There's more juicy gossip! And a really big one at that! This is interesting!! Price!
Let's put aside the fact that Bai Xiaosheng is the Plum Blossom Thief for now; his "Weapon Ranking" is extremely famous in the martial arts world!
Now they've encountered the mysterious Mr. Li; this is going to be a spectacular showdown!
Bai Xiaosheng's repeated pressure made Li Chengqian, who was already in a bad mood, even worse.
"Yes, the weapons ranking list is utterly useless in my eyes."
"It's utter nonsense! If I were to create a list, it would be far more exciting than yours!"
Chapter 163 Bai Xiaosheng was stunned! There are still these people in the martial arts world?
"And your ranking is known as the Weapon Ranking."
"Could it be that the power of Little Li's Flying Dagger lies in the throwing knife in his hand?"
"If that's the case, does that mean anyone who gets a throwing knife from Li Xunhuan can rank third on the weapon ranking list?"
"But that's not the case at all!"
"The knife in the hand of Li Xunhuan, the third-ranked scholar, could be forged by any blacksmith on the street."
"In my opinion, you should rename this weapons ranking list to the masters' ranking list."
Li Chengqian's words left Bai Xiaosheng speechless.
After thinking for a while, Bai Xiaosheng explained, "The ranking on the weapon ranking list was determined by me based on their strength."
“These masters all have their signature weapons, so I made the right choice in choosing this name.”
"And you shouldn't avoid the important issues and get bogged down in minor problems."
"Hahaha!"
Li Chengqian laughed out loud.
"Thank you so much, Mr. Bai Xiaosheng. Your ignorance has completely dispelled my bad mood."
"Ranked according to strength?"
"Is the ranking based on your pathetic level of understanding?"
"Let me ask you this: if your weapon ranking is based on strength, then why is there not a single woman among them?"
Do you think that no woman in the world is worthy of your attention?
"Also, why aren't there any of the so-called 'demonic cultivators' mentioned above?"
"Is it that you're afraid to arrange them, or that you don't know how to arrange them, or that you disdain arranging 417?"
Cold sweat poured down Bai Xiaosheng's forehead. Li Chengqian had dug himself a huge hole!
Normally, I would have dared to say that I disdain the ranking.
But now, a top-tier villain from the Ming Dynasty is sitting upstairs. Even if Bai Xiaosheng had a hundred times more courage, he wouldn't dare to say that!
Room Tianzi No. 1.
Dongfang Bubai slowly flipped through the book in his hands, his eyes occasionally glancing outside.
She found this man to be getting more and more interesting.
Not only was he incredibly audacious, but he also knew many secrets of the martial arts world.
The story of Li Xunhuan and the Plum Blossom Thief is basically top secret.
Especially the matter of Li Xunhuan.
This private matter is probably known to no one else in the martial arts world except for Long Xiaoyun himself.
After all, Long Xiaoyun wouldn't be foolish enough to publicize something like this everywhere.
But this man was able to recite it all as if it were his own treasure, which was really interesting.
Thinking of this, Dongfang Bubai put down the book in his hand, propped his chin up with his right hand, and looked at Li Chengqian with a smile on his lips.
Is he trying to rearrange the weapon rankings?
Judging from what he said, there are also women on the list. Could he have ranked me first?
Li Chengqian put down his teacup; a minute had already passed.
Bai Xiaosheng remained standing there, unable to utter a single word, for he dared not speak.
The person in room number one has already noticed me. If I say the wrong thing now, I definitely won't see the sun rise tomorrow.
"Still not telling?"
"Then I'll say it for you!"
"The martial world is not a suitable place for women to live, but there are always some extraordinary women who can go against the tide."
"For example, Dai Qisi, the Purple-Robed Dragon King of the Ming Cult, and Ren Yingying of the Sun Moon Cult, etc."
"Of course, these people are all evil and heretical in your eyes as a righteous person, so it's understandable that you don't include them."
"Why don't you rank Wuqing, one of the Four Great Constables of the Capital?"
"Do you look down on them?"
"These women are no less skilled than men in terms of martial arts or courage."
"But if we're talking about those who can rival any man in the world, then in the martial arts world of the Ming Dynasty, there are only Lianxing Yaoyue of the Yihua Palace and Dongfang Bubai of the Sun Moon Sect!"
Why don't you arrange these people in order? Is it because you look down on them?
Li Chengqian's tone was very calm, as if he were just having a casual conversation.
But Bai Xiaosheng was already barely able to stand.
I've heard of all these people, but there's no way to rank them!
Compiling a weapons ranking list is not as simple as just putting a name on it.
I also need to know their strengths and weaknesses, and then compare them. Where have I met so many people before?
This completely cornered Bai Xiaosheng, and a murmur of whispers could be heard in the inn.
"Tsk tsk! I feel like Mr. Li is much more capable than Bai Xiaosheng!"
"hehe!"
"Please set aside your feelings; Mr. Li is simply more knowledgeable than Bai Xiaosheng!"
"Didn't you see that Mr. Li has already rendered Bai Xiaosheng speechless?"
“These minor issues can be put aside for now. I’m more concerned about how Mr. Li found out about Long Xiaoyun.”
"Other things can be explained by intelligence networks, but how did Mr. Li know about this personal matter?"
"Could it be that he can tell fortunes?"
A wandering swordsman raised his question.
His companion, however, waved his hand dismissively and said:
"That's easy to explain. Mr. Li is a deity descended to earth! If he weren't a deity, how could he know so many things?"
"It's still the kind of secret that only one person knows."
It was originally just a joke, but the speaker meant no harm, but the listener took it to heart.
Surprisingly, everyone actually started to seriously consider this question.
Everyone: That makes sense! How about we get a statue of a deity to worship sometime?
Li Chengqian smacked his lips and looked at Bai Xiaosheng below with a mocking expression.
"If you can't judge these, then what about the Good and Evil Envoy of Xia Ke Island, or the Iron-Blooded Marquis of the Dragon Guard Manor?"
"You've probably only heard of Guan Yutian from the Supreme Alliance, Bai Zizai from the Western Regions Snow Mountain, and Xie Yanke, the Hermit of Motian Cliff, right?"
"Since you don't even know these people in the public eye, then what about the Shaolin Temple's thirty years of solitary meditation to overcome calamities, tribulations, and tribulations?"
"You've probably never even heard of it, have you?"
"You don't even understand the martial arts world of the Ming Dynasty. If I were to talk about the martial arts world of the Song Dynasty, wouldn't that be even more of a rip-off?"
"If you have limited knowledge, don't try to teach others."
"Besides these masters of our time, have you ever heard of a sword technique that is superior to having moves?"
"Do you know of a method to bring someone back to life?"
"Have you ever seen a palm technique that descends from the sky?"
"Knowing nothing at all, yet daring to call himself an all-knowing expert in the martial arts world? It's utterly shameful!"
"Get out of here!"
Faced with Li Chengqian's reprimand, Bai Xiaosheng's face turned ashen.
He really wanted to refute what Li Chengqian said, but he couldn't.
Because I had never heard of these things, let alone seen them.
