Chapter 18 – Rich Woman, let’s be friends
"I'm willing to apologize, but first prove he's not a fraud," Ye Feng said, genuinely angry.
"How can we prove it?" Liu Yanping glared at Ye Feng.
"It's simple. If he can advise you on sword techniques, then he can advise me, especially since I'm not as strong as you," Ye Feng said, glancing at Meng Fan with disdain in his eyes.
This made Meng Fan a bit unhappy.
Why take it out on me when it's Liu Yanping who angered you?
Sure, a stray dog is pitiful when abandoned, but that doesn't mean it can just bite people, right?
In such cases, even if pitiful, one might end up getting killed!
Liu Yanping said to Ye Feng, "Fine, but you can't use True Qi, only sword techniques."
She had great confidence in Meng Fan's swordsmanship. He could easily overpower her, so facing Ye Feng would be even less of a challenge.
The condition was that Ye Feng couldn't use True Qi, otherwise, it would be too much of a bully.
"Don't worry, sparring in sword techniques with an Outer Sect Disciple at the first level of Qi Refining, I'd be too ashamed to stay in the Shu Mountain Sword Sect if I had to use True Qi!"
Liu Yanping smiled slightly upon hearing Ye Feng's words.
Not to mention anything else, Meng Fan could teach Ye Feng a lesson with just the Emerald Sea Tide Rises Sword in a pure sword technique spar, she was confident.
Moreover, she felt that Meng Fan had other ace sword techniques up his sleeve.
"Hey, hey, hey, can you not drag me into your quarrel? It has nothing to do with me!" Meng Fan said helplessly to Liu Yanping and Ye Feng.
Liu Yanping rolled her eyes and glared at Meng Fan, "How can you say it has nothing to do with you? He's wronged you; don't you want to prove yourself?"
"I don't want to prove anything. I only agreed to spar with you, not with him."
Hearing Meng Fan's unambitious response, Liu Yanping was immediately displeased.
She had boasted in front of Ye Feng, and if Meng Fan avoided the fight, wouldn't it make her lose face in front of Ye Feng?
"We haven't reached an hour yet, you don't need to spar with me now, just spar with him!" Liu Yanping said to Meng Fan.
"No, we have to stick to the rules, we can't just mess around," Meng Fan said seriously.
"What do you want then?" Liu Yanping was almost frantic, glaring at Meng Fan.
Meng Fan looked at Ye Feng, then at Liu Yanping, and finally slowly uttered three words.
"Name your price!"
Hearing these three words, Liu Yanping burst into laughter.
Is that all?
Talking about money with the richest young lady of the inner sect?
Does he underestimate her?
If money can solve the problem, then it's not a problem!
Liu Yanping waved her hand grandly, "Beat him, and I'll give you ten Spirit Stones!!!"
Meng Fan's eyes lit up, his heartbeat quickened.
"Are you serious?"
Ten Spirit Stones?
That was a huge sum of money, and Meng Fan was skeptical about her offering it so readily.
Seeing the skeptical look on Meng Fan's face, Liu Yanping was quite annoyed.
She immediately took out ten Spirit Stones and threw them on the ground, angrily saying, "If you win, these are yours. What a spineless guy, doubting me over just ten Spirit Stones!!!"
Meng Fan swallowed hard, his eyes ablaze with eagerness.
It was then he realized that this young lady was a true rich woman!
Especially since those Spirit Stones appeared out of nowhere, he suspected she had a storage treasure.
How rich must one be?
He must befriend this rich young lady!
Meng Fan made up his mind.
"Come on, draw your sword!" Meng Fan said to Ye Feng.
Ye Feng was already impatient, holding back a belly full of anger, eager to vent on someone.
He drew his sword, ready to strike at Meng Fan.
"Wait, use this!" Liu Yanping threw a Wooden Sword to Ye Feng.
Ye Feng had a precious sword, and with its sharpness, he could easily break Meng Fan's Wooden Sword.
Ye Feng didn't refuse Liu Yanping's request.
He took the Wooden Sword and then thrust it at Meng Fan.
His first move was the Bright Moon Sword Technique's killing move—Bright Moon Shines Over the River.
The thrust was fast, accurate, and ruthless, aimed straight at Meng Fan's chest.
In truth, the most suitable target for this move was the throat!
But even with a Wooden Sword, a stab to the throat could be fatal, so Ye Feng showed mercy and aimed at Meng Fan's chest instead.
Meng Fan shook his head.
He immediately spotted the flaw in Ye Feng's move.
To compete in swordsmanship and still hold back was like playing chess with AI and thinking of giving away pieces!
Was he in a hurry to lose?
Meng Fan didn't know the name of Ye Feng's sword technique, but he had watched Ye Feng practice before and had silently learned it.
Facing Ye Feng's thrust, Meng Fan was calm, thrusting his sword in the same manner.
Bright Moon Sword Technique—Bright Moon Shines Over the River!
His move was identical to Ye Feng's, but with subtle changes.
The biggest change was striking first despite acting second.
Ye Feng watched dumbfounded as Meng Fan executed the move; he didn't expect Meng Fan to know the Bright Moon Sword Technique.
And Meng Fan's execution of the technique was even more fluid than his own!
Most importantly, Meng Fan's target was Ye Feng's throat, while Ye Feng had aimed for the chest.
Just this difference meant Ye Feng had already lost!
Ye Feng had to withdraw his sword, otherwise, even if his sword hit Meng Fan's chest, Meng Fan's would hit his throat.
In that case, Meng Fan might get injured, but Ye Feng could die!
"I lose," Ye Feng stopped and sheathed his sword, speaking somewhat dejectedly.
Meng Fan also halted his attack and put away his Wooden Sword.
Honestly, Liu Yanping was also somewhat surprised as she watched Meng Fan.
She often sparred with Ye Feng, so she was familiar with the Bright Moon Sword Technique.
She could tell that Ye Feng used the Bright Moon Shines Over the River move from the Bright Moon Sword Technique.
And Meng Fan was using the same move to counter Ye Feng's.
An identical technique breaking the opponent's move was outrageous!
"How do you know the Bright Moon Sword Technique too?" Liu Yanping and Ye Feng almost asked in unison.
They looked at each other, not minding the tacit understanding at that moment.
Ye Feng was somewhat okay with it, but Liu Yanping was truly shocked.
This guy not only knew the Emerald Sea Tide Rises Sword but also the Bright Moon Sword Technique!
What sword techniques didn't he know?
How could an Outer Sect Disciple at the first level of Qi Refining have the ability to learn so many sword techniques?
And to master them to such an extent!
Ye Feng's Bright Moon Sword Technique was already strong, but Meng Fan managed to defeat Ye Feng with it, using the word "master" to describe it wasn't an exaggeration at all.
"Uh, I watched him practice just now, so I picked up a bit," Meng Fan said somewhat sheepishly.
Before Ye Feng could speak, Liu Yanping cursed in anger.
"Nonsense!"
