Heaven-relying Sword And Dragon-slaying Sabre

The three old men's faces changed. The red-faced man asked, "Little Miss, how do you know about this incident with The Three Saints of Kunlun?" Guo Xiang said, "Of course I know."

The pale-faced man walked up and sternly said, "What's your name? Whose disciple are you? And what is your business here at Shaolin?

Guo Xiang raised her pretty face and said, "Never you mind."

The pale-faced man was hot-tempered and raised his hand to slap her. But he realised that if he did that, he will be bullying a young girl. He swiftly advanced towards Guo Xiang and seized her sword.

Guo Xiang was taken off guard, this never happened before in her life. To be frank, with her martial arts and experience she was not fit to roam the realm on her own. But everyone respected Guo Jing and Huang Rong and knew she was their daughter and Yang Guo spread the word of her sixteenth birthday and all the unorthodox wulin person knew her. Even if they dared not to give Guo Jing and Huang Rong face, they would surely respect Yang Guo. Furthermore, she was very pretty and straightforward, she treated everyone equally no matter what social status they had. Although the realm of martial arts was a dangerous place, she always came out fine and without any harm. She never suffered such humiliation in her life and knew she couldn't get her sword back. Because she was not their match yet, but to give up like this was very difficult to accept.

The pale-faced man held the sword between his index finger and middle finger and coldly said, "I'll keep this sword for awhile. Seeing you have the audacity to be disrespectful towards me, it's clearly that your parents and teachers didn't teach you any manners. If you want them to come and reclaim the sword and I will tell them what happened and advise to pay more attention to you."

Guo Xiang was furious when she heard this, according to this man she was a wild girl with no manners, and thought, "Fine! Not only did you scold me, you also scolded my parents, grandfather. Do you really think you have invincible abilities and you can be that arrogant."

She held her temper and said, "What's your name?"

The pale-faced man grunted and said, "Let me teach you, you should say: Sirs, may I be so bold to ask you what your names are?"

Guo Xiang angrily said, "No, I will say it however I want. If you don't want to tell me, fine. It's not that I'm desperate to know. This sword isn't worth much, and you are bullying a young girl by stealing their possessions. I don't want it anymore."

She turned around and walked out the pavilion.

Suddenly the red-faced man blocked Guo Xiang and smiled, "Young girls shouldn't be that hot-tempered, when you get married you can't throw tantrums like that anymore. Let me tell you, we are three martial arts brothers, and we just arrived in China a few days. We're from the western borders of China."

Guo Xiang pouted, "I know that too, in China we don't recognize the three of you." The three men looked at each other and the red-faced man asked, "May I ask Miss, who your teacher is?" Guo Xiang didn't want to reveal the names of her parents at Shaolin originally. But now she was angry and told them, "My father's name is Guo Jing. And my mother is called Huang Rong. I don't have a teacher, I learnt a bit of martial arts from my parents."

The three old men looked at each other and the pale-face man softly said, "Guo Jing? Huang Rong? Of which school do they belong? Whose disciples are they?"

Guo Xiang was infuriated, because her parents were respected throughout the realm. Even ordinary people know them, let alone wulin persons, the famous great hero Guo Jing was respected for guarding the city of Xiangyang for many years.

But judging from their expressions, they are not pretending to be ignorant. She realised, "These Three Saints of Kunlun live on the western borders and rarely come to China. Otherwise, with their martial arts father and mother were bound to mention them to me. If they truly don't know my parents then it's not strange. It's very likely that they just study martial arts at Mount Kunlun and forget all other matters."

When she realised this, her anger disappeared, she is not a girl to throw tantrums and said, "My name is Guo Xiang. Fine, I have told you everything you wanted to know. Sirs, may I be so bold to ask you what your names are?"

The red-faced man smiled, "That's a good girl, now you show respect to seniors."

He pointed to the yellow-faced man and said, "That's our eldest martial arts brother, his name Pan Tiangeng, I'm the second martial arts brother and my name is Fang Tianlao. This is my third martial arts brother and his name is Wei Tianwang. The three of us all belong to the Tian character generation."

Guo Xiang nodded and remembered their names and asked, "Are you going to the Shaolin Monastery or not? Have you battle the monks there? And who is better?" Wei Tianwang sternly asked her, "How did you know we're going to compete with the Shaolin monks? Hardly anyone knows this and when did you know this? Tell us now!" He walked towards Guo Xiang made a fist and stared at Guo Xiang very viciously. Guo Xiang thought, "Do you really think you can intimidate me? Originally I wanted to tell you, but now I won't talk."

She gave him an indifferent eye and said coldly, "Your name is good, why don't you change it in to TianE ('born viciously')?"

Wei Tianwang angrily shouted, "What?"

Guo Xiang said, "I never met a more vicious man like you, you grabbed my weapon and you're still this fierce. Are you the Deity of Ferociousness in reincarnation?"

Wei Tianwang made a few strange noises like an animal and his chest swelled up and it looked like his hair and eyebrows raised too.

Fang Tianlao said, "Third brother, don't get upset." and he pulled Guo Xiang back and he stood between the two of them.

Guo Xiang saw Wei Tianwang and knew if he attacked, she would not be able to withstand it and was beginning to get a bit scared.

Wei Tianwang pulled out the short sword of Guo Xiang and used two fingers to hold it and used his internal strength to break it into two halves. He returned the broken half back into the scabbard and said, "Who wants your unworthy sword." Guo Xiang saw the powerful energy of his fingers and looked in awe.

Wei Tianwang saw her expression and was very pleased and laughed heartily. This laughter was ear-piercing and shook the roof tiles of the pavilion.

Suddenly the roof cracked open and something fell down. Everyone was surprised at this and even Wei Tianwang was even more surprised. He used his internal strength to make a laughing sound to tremble the tiles. But actually there was no tone of pleasure in his laughter. When he saw the roof cracking open he thought that without his own knowledge he reached a higher level in his cultivation of internal energy.

When he looked at that "thing" that dropped down he was shocked to see a man in a white robe holding a zither. He was just lying there, closing his eyes.

Guo Xiang was pleased to see him and said, "You're here too." This man was the man she met earlier.

The man jumped up when he heard Guo Xiang talking to him and said, "Miss, I was looking for you. I didn't know you were here."
