Opening an office in Taila

Chapter 39: Just Do It

However, before the minister went down to look for him, Song Yufeng had already encountered another trouble.

Standing in front of Song Yufeng was an old man who looked to be in his seventies or eighties. He squinted his eyes slightly and held an ordinary wooden sword in his hand. However, just from the way he stood, one could tell that he was extremely strong.

Song Yufeng suddenly felt as if he was facing a formidable enemy. He had just heard the old man say the word "collect", and he himself could not utter another word. Moreover, the old man's aura was vigorous and powerful, far surpassing any person he had ever seen.

He knew that he had met a true master.

"You have repeatedly disrupted order. Do you think there is no one in my Great Yan?"

Song Yufeng wanted to answer, but he was unable to speak because his mouth was sealed.

"You pretend to be an expert without saying anything? Well, then I, Xiao, will come and experience your methods."

Song Yufeng was speechless. "Sir, it's not that I don't want to say it, but you silenced me before. Aren't you making up a false accusation? You are a hooligan!"

Song Yufeng quickly pointed to his mouth.

"Oh, you want me to help you solve it? No way! I just want you to have no way to speak out your grievances."

Damn, I met an old rogue!

Suddenly, Song Yufeng thought, is this considered an Originium skill?

So he quickly opened the domain, but he didn't expect that he could really dissolve it! Song Yufeng quickly said: "Uncle, are you serious?"

Old Master Xiao raised his eyebrows in surprise and said, "To be able to break this move, you do have some skills. But Mr. Song, relying on these skills, you act recklessly. I'm afraid this is not appropriate."

"I'm just good at making my own comments. If they can't stand it, what does it have to do with me?"

"You are such a person who won't cry until you see the coffin. If you don't understand what I am saying, then I also know a little about swordsmanship." Old Master Xiao put his hand on the hilt of the knife. At that moment, the terrifying aura rushed straight towards Song Yufeng. Song Yufeng suddenly felt that he was going to die in the next second. The aura alone made his hair stand on end. He felt threatened by death. This kind of domineering aura was really terrifying.

Song Yufeng is indeed a man who has lived two lives and is very flexible. He immediately bent down and bowed, saying: "I don't know the etiquette, I hope Mr. Xiao will forgive me!"

"It's a great honor to admit your mistakes and improve them. Don't make the same mistake again." After saying that, Mr. Xiao turned and left.

Song Yufeng quickly shouted: "What is your name, senior? Where did you learn from?"

"I am Xiao Yichen. I have no sect or school!" Then he left in a leisurely manner.

But when the minister came to Song Yufeng, Song Yufeng was confused.

"Ah? A first-rank minister of Yan State? What do you want from me?" Song Yufeng immediately saluted. He was still wondering why all the important people came to see him at this time. Was it a plan?

However, the minister, for some reason, perhaps felt that the title of emperor might not scare a tough guy like Song Yufeng too much, and Song Yufeng was captured by the old Taoist priest, so he might be more respectful of the old Taoist priest. Therefore, he said directly: "The old Taoist priest asked me to come to you."

Song Yufeng's face suddenly turned gloomy. He had come at the right time, as he was just about to find the old Taoist priest to argue with him.

Song Yufeng immediately went upstairs angrily, and the minister hurried in front to lead the way for Song Yufeng.

"Mr. Song, why do you look so bad?" The minister asked as they approached the door. Song Yufeng said, "I want to have a showdown with the old Taoist priest. I want to have a good argument with her!"

"Ah? This is absolutely not allowed!"

"What are you afraid of? It's none of your business! Just do it!" Song Yufeng kicked the door open and shouted, "Old Heavenly Master, I'm here to find..." Before Song Yufeng could finish his words, he saw the room full of imperial guards, and the emperor and the old Heavenly Master surrounded by them...

A few minutes later.

Song Yufeng sat on the chair obediently like a kindergarten child facing his teacher. To be honest, Song Yufeng was not afraid of the imperial guards in the room, but he was still quite afraid of the emperor. Because when the emperor was angry, there would be millions of corpses and rivers of blood. No matter how capable he was, it would be difficult for him to make an enemy of the entire Yan Kingdom.

"Song Yufeng, right." The emperor said.

Song Yufeng quickly nodded obediently.

"Your potential is not small, your future is limitless, and your strength is not weak. I can say that I am very optimistic about you."

"Thank you, Your Majesty, for your appreciation."

"This trick of yours is quite good on the battlefield, but this is an arena. It is really not in line with the martial ethics of the Yan Kingdom to influence the opponent's mentality and weaken him in this way." The emperor said slowly.

"Your Majesty, I must protest this matter. If you are talking about not adhering to the martial ethics of the Yan Kingdom, I also learned it from your subordinates!"

"Oh? Tell me about it."

"This old Taoist priest is so unethical. He actually attacked me just as I was leaving the house, forcing me to participate in this competition. Your Majesty, please judge! A centuries-old Taoist priest attacked a 19-year-old comrade like me. Is this okay? This is not okay!"

The old Taoist priest seemed quite unconvinced and immediately retorted, "A sneak attack? That's not a sneak attack. I simply executed the most efficient method."

"That's still a sneak attack, old Taoist priest. As a hundred-year-old loli, you are so shameless. No wonder you like playing with fire. It turns out that it's because you are thick-skinned that you are not afraid of fire."

"Ha! You dare to talk back? I think you really want to fight me today."

"Enough, shut up!" The emperor roared, and the old Taoist priest and Song Yufeng shut up.

"What are you doing? Old Heavenly Master, you're not young anymore, why bother with a junior? As for Song Yufeng, martial ethics usually only exist in duels like this, but at the time, you were a murderer on the run! Therefore, the threat you posed was too great, so we had to resort to this unethical sneak attack. Mr. Song misunderstood."

Song Yufeng understood that the emperor still respected and supported the old master, even becoming a double standard person, but what else could Song Yufeng say? You have great power, you are awesome.

"Your Majesty, your opinion is brilliant." Song Yufeng said helplessly.

"Ahem, anyway, Song Yufeng, I have something to ask you."

"Your Majesty, please speak."

"Your fire and sword techniques are truly miraculous. Where did you learn them from?"

“There is no school or sect, only talent.”

His Majesty nodded, then said, "If that's true, your future is truly limitless. I remember that you were a student at the Imperial Military Academy back then, right?"

"Yes, but he retired later."

"If you win first place this time, will you join my Imperial Guard?"

"Your Majesty, I am used to being at ease. I am afraid..."

"Song Yufeng." The emperor interrupted Song Yufeng and said, "Don't you want to know the truth about the fire that year?"
