In the previous episode.
Zhuge Liying had just killed a man claiming to be a warrior. He didn't regret at all having killed someone in front of so many people.
Yes, plus the man is still someone's husband. Nevertheless Zhuge Liying passed him calmly. It was as if nothing had happened.
***
After this, where will Zhuge Liying and Yue Yi proceed?
"Da Jie!" Yue Yi called Zhuge Liying.
"What is Da Jie doing? It's our last supply. If you give it to someone else, then what about us after this?" she continued whining.
As usual Zhuge Liying was indifferent. Although the sound of Yue Yi's scream hurt his ears greatly, it had no effect on the decision he had already made.
"Zhuge Liying, wait!" he called back to him who had gone so far.
"That's our last gold coin, what about us tomorrow or the following days? We'll eat after this, and where will we stay tonight?"
Yue Yi kept asking questions one by one. He conveyed his complaints in a high, shrill voice and the people around of course could hear him.
"Da Jie!" the whining that doesn't want to stop
His two feet occasionally kicked the ground, while calling out to Zhuge Liying continuously. Strikes running. Wondering if Zhuge Liying would listen to him.
Indifferent. Even though Yue Yi had already answered Zhuge Liying with many questions, the girl with the Zhuge surname didn't pay any heed.
Until Zhuge Liying relented. Giving in didn't mean he lost, but giving in because he was tired of hearing Yue Yi's loud voice that made his ears hurt.
"What?" while turning back, he just realized one thing. That Yue Yi was already far behind there.
"Ying'er!" Still whining even though Zhuge Liying had stopped, but he didn't want to chase after his big brother. Instead, he waited for Zhuge Liying to approach him.
"What?" annoyed. Short answer.
"Why did you give our last provision to that woman? While we ourselves are newcomers to this city and how will we live, if you give our last meal to someone else?"
Zhuge Liying raised one eyebrow. He pursed his lips, taking a deep breath.
His friend whined for no reason. Just like a child who asks his parents for snacks, but his request is not obeyed at all.
"If by giving it I can support the life of a widow, then I will give it sincerely...."
"Instead of me having to give mine to a cowardly man like him, who never respects a woman, then I will not tolerate it. I'd rather throw it into the mouth of a lion, than have to give my property to a cowardly man. "
His words meant so much that Yue Yi was silenced by those words. He stayed there for a while while Zhuge Liying had continued on his way, excluding Yue Yi.
It was up to Yue Yi to come along or not. This time Zhuge Liying chose to ignore his sister.
***
The steps were also continued when they came out of the market, but both of them were surprised again by the presence of a mysterious figure in black robes who suddenly appeared. I don't know where he came from?
His presence spurred Zhuge Liying on. His goal was to protect Yue Yi, and definitely to fight that new figure.
"Hebtikan your steps!" Sounding threatening, as he raised the sword that was deliberately pointed at Zhuge Liying.
His voice was like a man's. Her face was covered by a black veil or cloth, the only thing showing was her two green eyes which were not too conspicuous.
"Good grief!" Yue Yi screamed. "Where did you come from? why did you suddenly appear before us? Who are you?"
In contrast to Zhuge Liying who immediately put up a stance. Don't want to lose either. A sword drew forward.
Fighting the two blades that are both long and sharp.
"Tell me where you are from? You are definitely not from this country!"
His guess really wasn't wrong. Zhuge Liying and Yue Yi were not natives of this country. In fact they had just set foot in the kingdom a few days ago. It hasn't even been a month yet, but Zhuge Liying who knows how many people have healed?
"Ying'er!" Yue Yi could only scream and hide behind Zhuge Liying's small body.
"Say it quickly! Or my blade will break your beloved sword!"
A strong threat to Zhuge Liying. A little flinched, but it didn't matter to the girl surnamed Zhuge.
Fast hand movements, unpredictable sword moves. Zhuge Liying took out another sword.
Move around. Reverse the atmosphere. The two swords were played by rotating the blade of the black figure.
Dear. The move that Zhuge Liying tried to show could still be read by the figure.
The sword managed to escape the pressure that Zhuge Liying was trying to display.
"That's fine with the moves you use. You're trying to manipulate my gaze, but it's a shame. A little move like that won't be able to affect me."
He's so arrogant. Considering Zhuge Liying's swordplay as a minor move. Should a great warrior from a different country be humiliated like this?
What a great insult to Zhuge Liying, "What did you say just now?" If the girl had said in such a tone. So, there are only two possibilities. Die or will he be humiliated?
"I like your little move. That's what I said earlier."
"What did you say? Little kick!" A cloud of smoke rose over Zhuge Liying's crown.
He was on a high emotional level. His anger had not subsided, but now a new problem arose.
"If you really dare to fight me. Let's have a one-on-one duel. And we'll see who's the greatest swordsman. Me or your little one."
Again he repeated the word 'little move' which clearly ignited Zhuge Liying's anger.
"I will win this battle. After that I will make you regret for underestimating me!"
Zhuge Liying didn't think twice about accepting that person's challenge.
"Soon I will make you lose. Give it up!"
CLING.... As fast as the blade moves.
SSSST .... Flying like a shadow standing tall in front, body slightly bent with sword pointed behind eyes glaring sharply forward.
KREK... His sword was split in two.
BRAC...
BRAK ... And fell on the ground.
Zhuge Liying turned around and tore off the black veil covering it with the sharp edge of the blade. Finally a face was seen hiding behind the veil.
Who is he behind all this?
The answer....
Yue Yi drew closer to the figure whose face was already visible. Who is he? His arrival had really taken him and Zhuge Liying by surprise.
"It turned out to be a man," said Yue Yi. "Who are you?" he continued asking a quick question.
"Shangguan Yun!" said Zhuge Liying, his lips saying that openly.
"There's a reason. Did you come to see me?" Zhuge Liying added.
"Ying'er, you know him?" Yue Yi turned to ask Zhuge Liying quickly. Apparently, without his knowledge, his brother and sister already knew a lot of people from the natives.
There was no answer from Shangkuan Yun. Between surrender or mute? His mouth was tightly shut.
"Say it quickly!" Zhuge Liying insisted
"What is the need for you to meet me so far?!" Zhuge Liying shouted at him, even threatening with a sword whose tip was already at Shangkuan Yun's temple.
Zhuge Liying could have stabbed at that sensitive spot, but he refrained from resisting.
"Say it quickly!" he continued to force the man from Dao Bao Hu to speak.
"You are a mute stone statue!"
Annoyed, and finally Zhuge Liying chose to give up. Lowered his sword. It was pointless for him to say loudly, even to the point of yelling, if what was in front of him was only a mute stone statue.
It wouldn't be possible and would just be bullshit.
Two steps forward left the still stubborn Shangkuan Yun who remained mute. Then, Yue Yi silently followed Zhuge Liying who wanted to leave. His pace was fast to keep up with Zhuge Liying.
Wait!
After being silent and choosing to be stubborn. Shangkuan Yun was about to open his mouth. Called Zhuge Liying who was already very upset.
