Chapter 245: My Acting Was a Bit Too Much
A violent force erupted from his fists. The chests of the two Bird ninjas were blasted into a messy mass of mangled flesh, spraying outward in all directions.
"W… why?"
Before dying, their eyes brimmed with tears: Weren't we just supposed to be acting? You lightly slash, I lightly block what happened to that?
"Sorry, I put a bit too much into my acting!"
Li Jiexuan smiled as he shoved aside the corpses of the two Bird ninjas, leaving behind a lofty, unfathomable, mountain-like silhouette for the Yeshin siblings.
Only after a long moment did Yeshinko come back to her senses. She grabbed Li Jiexuan's arm. "Big Brother Jiexuan, you're amazing!"
"Just a small thing, just a small thing…"
Li Jiexuan waved it off with a grin, putting on the air of a master who didn't take such matters to heart.
Compared to Yeshinko's enthusiasm, Yeshinke found himself too embarrassed to respond. His face flushed red, and he couldn't get a single word out.
At that moment, Yeshinko suddenly seemed to remember something and shouted without hesitation, "Big Brother Jiexuan, hurry and save my father! My father has been captured by bad people!"
Children really were this naïve so naturally expecting Li Jiexuan to risk his life to save her father.
Had she even thought about why he should?
"Bad people?" Li Jiexuan pretended to be puzzled. Yeshinko grew anxious, waving her hands wildly. "That bad man was holding two red, red crabs! Anyway, he's a very, very bad person!"
What kind of ridiculous metaphor was that? No one could possibly understand it!
But…
"Could it be that Ghost Fork Old Demon, Wuxie?"
Yeshinke, who had been trailing behind, stared in shock. Who knew how Li Jiexuan managed to connect "two red crabs" to Ghost Wuxie?
Of course, Li Jiexuan wasn't about to tell him that he had witnessed the entire scene himself…
In any case…
"Hiss!"
Li Jiexuan sucked in a breath and sighed, clutching his chest. "It's actually that guy? This is going to be troublesome…"
"What? Even you aren't his match?" At last, Yeshinke couldn't hold back. Just when he had seen a glimmer of hope, it seemed about to be shattered again…
"Yeah, no matter how strong you are, at such a young age, you couldn't possibly be a match for that old demon!" Yeshinke lowered his head again.
"When did I ever say I couldn't beat him?" Li Jiexuan smiled as he looked at Yeshinke.
"Then what did you mean just now?" Yeshinke asked, confused.
"It's just a bit troublesome, that's all!" Li Jiexuan sneered and shook his head. "But… forget it. After all, a samurai is already strong enough!"
Hearing this, Yeshinke's face turned crimson. A wave of shame crashed over his proud belief in the way of the samurai.
Under normal circumstances, such an insult would have made him draw his blade to defend a samurai's honor but now…
"Hu…"
Yeshinke let out a long breath, set aside his pride, and knelt respectfully before Li Jiexuan, bowing his head to the ground. "Lord Jiexuan, I was too extreme before and said things that offended you. I'm sorry!"
"I accept your apology." Li Jiexuan nodded with a smile. "Good job, little fellow. As the saying goes, recognizing your mistakes and correcting them is the greatest good!"
Little fellow!
Being called a "little fellow" by a three-year-old made Yeshinke feel like his already shattered pride had been stomped on several more times.
But as soon as he finished speaking, Li Jiexuan turned and walked away…
Seeing this, Yeshinke froze. Reaching out, he tried to stop him. "Lord Jiexuan, where are you going? My father isn't trapped in that direction!"
"Hm?"
Li Jiexuan curled his lips in confusion. "Who said I was going to save your dad?"
