Chương 14: Chapter 14: Ma Hongjun's Failure
Why did Gu Yi choose to come here now? This is the second test he's prepared for Ma Hongjun. If he can't even avoid this hurdle, then even if he has extraordinary courage, it's useless.
"Teacher, rest assured, I'm not thinking about those things now. I'm just here to test Ma Hongjun," Gu Yi said, looking at the women walking towards them, alluring and charming, but he couldn't muster the slightest interest. These places, explored by countless others, didn't catch his eye. Moreover, it wasn't time for enjoyment yet; his techniques weren't perfected, and there was no need to dissipate his energy so soon.Seeing that his disciple couldn't be persuaded, and with Xiao Cui approaching, Flender had no choice but to leave. The matter of coming here couldn't be exposed.
As Xiao Cui, with her seductive movements, approached, she couldn't shake the feeling of familiarity upon seeing the disappearing figure. How could there be familiar faces in such a place where they seldom ventured out? Even if there were, it was usually on a bed.
"Young master, are you here to play too? Shall sister take you to experience the adult world?" Xiao Cui approached Gu Yi, alluringly and seductively, while reaching out to touch him. Gu Yi furrowed his brows slightly, sidestepping her delicate jade-like hand.
"It's not me who wants to experience the adult world, it's the chubby boy beside me. I have only one request: if you can make him willingly touch you without my interference, I'll double the reward." Gu Yi pointed at Ma Hongjun, who was still observing the young ladies surreptitiously. When did Ma Hongjun have such an experience? At most, he'd only peek at the neighbor's widow bathing, and he'd been caught at that. Now, facing these mid-level beauties, both in figure and appearance, Ma Hongjun couldn't resist.
"What exactly are you up to, Gu Yi? You knew my martial spirit had this issue, yet you brought me here." Ma Hongjun finally tore his gaze away from the young ladies and accused Gu Yi of his unethical behavior.
"This is the second test I've given you: willpower. If you can't resist even the most basic desires, you won't achieve anything," Gu Yi explained. Surveying the surroundings, he didn't find anyone stunning. Having lived through the age of filtered beauty, these rouge-powder faces couldn't stir his martial heart.
"Oh, I forgot one thing," Gu Yi said, patting Ma Hongjun's shoulder and retracting the yin soul power within him. Ma Hongjun hadn't had a chance to say much before feeling the heat in his body erupt once more, even fiercer than yesterday. Gu Yi's forceful suppression of the evil fire had caused a problem: the stronger the suppression, the greater the eruption. Ma Hongjun was the prime example of this.
"Let me see your willpower. The test ends in half an hour." Gu Yi stepped back, and the middle-aged woman, who had been dressed up earlier, returned with a group of young ladies, fully satisfying Gu Yi's request. Repeatedly his earlier words, Gu Yi left the group's range. The women's eyes gleamed; they hadn't expected to earn such a large sum of money so easily. Even the most demanding customers sometimes made them waste a bucket of water for bathing, and if they weren't satisfied, they'd scold and hit them. Tempting a young boy was nothing difficult.
One of the plump, mature women walked out confidently, relying on her charm to stir the boy's heart. It was simple. Just a few steps, and Ma Hongjun couldn't bear it. His body flushed, and looking at the plump woman, his eyes were like those of a wolf. These were the only things that could help him alleviate the heat inside him. Ma Hongjun understood this deeply from the day his martial spirit awakened. After taking a few steps forward, his eyes were already bloodshot. For him, restraining himself was even more challenging than climbing a cliff. When the evil fire erupted, his consciousness was already overwhelmed. Now, Ma Hongjun was only left with instinct, seeking something to quench the evil fire inside him. These women before him were the best help to alleviate the evil fire inside his body. Even Gu Yi's yin spirit power couldn't help.
Seeing Ma Hongjun unable to control himself, Gu Yi's eyes flashed with disappointment. Ultimately, it was a failure. Just as Ma Hongjun was about to touch the woman, Gu Yi arrived at his side with mysterious steps. His spirit power surged out and suppressed the evil fire inside Ma Hongjun in an instant.
"The money is yours," Gu Yi said, not deceiving them and giving them another bag of money before leaving with Ma Hongjun. When they walked out, Flender had been waiting outside.
"Dean, take him back. I'll suppress the evil fire for him, but as for the techniques, let's forget about it," Gu Yi said casually. He wasn't in a hurry to return now. It happened to be the delivery date for something he had previously commissioned, so it wouldn't hurt to pick it up before going back.
Flender glanced at the departing Gu Yi and then asked, "What happened exactly? How did things turn out like this in such a short time?" Although I have high hopes for Ma Hongjun as a disciple, your position in my heart is irreplaceable, Gu Yi. After all, you're the one I raised.
Speaking of which, Ma Hongjun felt somewhat aggrieved. "Dean, you don't know what he did. He made a dozen women stand in front of me and triggered the evil fire in my body, telling me resist temptation for an hour. Isn't he crazy?" Flender hadn't expected Gu Yi to test Ma Hongjun's willpower like this. Even he might not have been able to withstand it.
"Let's put this matter aside for now. Let's go back and practice. I'll try to persuade him again," Flender said. He also knew that Gu Yi wasn't someone who intentionally made things difficult, nor was he someone who kept techniques hidden. Why did he treat Ma Hongjun so severely this time? It was puzzling.
Gu Yi arrived at a blacksmith shop.
"Uncle, are my things ready?" he asked. The blacksmith shop was bustling with activity, and even the shirtless blacksmiths were sweating profusely.
"Oh, it's Young Master Gu. Your things have been ready for a long time, waiting for you to pick them up. The things crafted by Old Li are absolutely top-notch," the muscular leader said enthusiastically, placing a scroll on the table and slowly opening it. Rows of short knives, emitting a cold light, appeared before them.
"According to your request, the blades are sharp, thin as paper, and shaped like willow leaves. There are a total of twenty-four. Take a look," the blacksmith said. Gu Yi nodded slightly. The knives felt light in his hands and were comfortable to wield.
"Thank you, Uncle. Here's the remaining payment," Gu Yi said, taking out the remaining payment he had prepared.
"Young Master, if you have anything else you need to craft in the future, I promise not to disappoint you," the blacksmith assured him. As Gu Yi walked out of the blacksmith shop, he heard the lively shouts from inside and smiled faintly.
