I began to understand the myriad things by chopping wood

Chapter 37 That's All
Xie Yuan looked over the door curtain and exchanged glances with Xu Yang, who was looking at him gloomily, for a moment. Then he turned back and looked at the burly disciple in front of him:
"Brother Lin, I have just started my medicinal bath. Can we talk about it later?"

His medicinal bath only lasted for a cup of tea, and the medicinal power of a basic medicinal bath could normally last at least an incense stick, and it was best not to leave the medicinal liquid during this period.

Judging from their attitude, it was obvious that they would not let him go out to say a few words, so they asked him to come back in a very friendly manner.

Wouldn't that waste the medicine?
That’s five taels of silver, enough to cover the entrance tea fee twice!

Even for Xie Yuan now, if he lost five taels of silver, he would be heartbroken.

When Senior Brother Lin heard what Xie Yuan said, he showed a look of surprise on his face:

"Do you want me to wait for you? Come out now!"

Xie Yuan's face darkened.

He knew this sturdy young man. His surname was Lin and his name was Tao. He was a core disciple in the sect and one of the earlier batches, so he had a high seniority.

Although he didn't know when he would be able to break through to become a martial artist, he had been practicing for a long time and had already been very stable in the third level of Iron Shirt. His skin was as tough as cowhide, and his kung fu was very solid among all the core disciples. He won more than he lost in competitions within the sect and was quite famous.

However, such a famous senior brother was obviously moved by Xu Yang's financial offensive and wanted to stand up for him.

As I have said before, money is the most useful thing no matter where you are.

Xie Yuan shook his head and leaned back slightly, leaning against the wall of the barrel, leaving only his head outside:

"Brother Lin, the medicinal bath has already started, so it's inconvenient for us to come out. If you have anything to say, just tell me directly."

"Why not take a medicinal bath any other time? Why do we have to choose now?"

Lin Tao's face darkened and he shouted:
"Junior Brother Xu said that you have no respect for elders and don't know the difference between superiors and subordinates. Now it seems that it is true! You don't know the rules at all, you are a vulgar person from the mountains."

Xu Yang added quietly at the back:
"He has always been like this, looking down on everyone and extremely arrogant. When he saw his senior brother coming, he didn't even stand up to greet him. He was still soaking in the bucket calmly. I have never seen a junior brother like this."

Xie Yuan glanced between the two of them, ignored Xu Yang, and just looked at Lin Tao quietly. Suddenly he asked:
"How much silver did Xu Yang give you? Or did he promise you medicinal tonic and medicinal bath? You don't want to be a good person, but insist on being his dog."

Lin Tao's face looked a little unnatural when he heard the first half, but when he heard the latter part, his face suddenly changed:

"Xie Yuan, stop slandering me! I heard that you and Junior Brother Xu cheated in your sparring and attacked me. It was just a sparring match, but you resorted to such despicable means, how despicable!
"I'm not here to bully you this time. I'm just going to let you guys have a rematch. I'll be the referee, and it'll be fair and just!
"Xie Yuan, I advise you not to refuse a toast and drink a forfeit."

There was a hint of menace in his tone.

Xie Yuan looked at the obvious malice in the two men, then looked around.

Stuck in the bathroom to discuss?
He was obviously just venting his anger, but he had to put it in a high-sounding way, worthy of being a senior brother.

At this time, Xu Yang pulled off the clothes hanging next to Xie Yuan and threw them far away into the corner, revealing a playful look:

"Xie Junior Brother, I advise you to come out quickly so that we can have a good sparring match. Don't let Senior Brother Lin 'invite' you."

After hearing this, Xie Yuan didn't say anything. He just put his hands on the edge of the bucket, tilted his head back, and looked at Lin Tao quietly.

Seeing this obvious contempt, Lin Tao felt that his senior brother's dignity was challenged, and he immediately became furious.

He pursed his lips tightly, took a step forward, and stretched out his hand to grab Xie Yuan!

A hand with well-proportioned flesh and slender fingers stretched out of the bucket and stopped Lin Tao's hand.

When Lin Tao saw Xie Yuan reaching out to grab him, he revealed a sinister smile, grabbed his hand tightly, and then pulled it out violently!
This should make him cry out in pain, and then fall flat on his face... huh?

Things turned out differently from what Lin Tao expected. He pulled hard, but there was no reaction at all to Xie Yuan.

Xie Yuan was still lying calmly in the bucket, with one hand stretched high, as if he was shaking hands with the subordinates who came to see him.

Lin Tao's face turned dark and he began to increase the strength of his hands.

"Unbelievable!"

Xu Yang watched Xie Yuan and Lin Tao fight from the side and felt happy.

This bastard really thought he was invincible, and even dared to take the initiative to fight against Senior Brother Lin. This time Senior Brother Lin took direct action and made him pay the price. Later, I will return the humiliation I suffered last time double!
He stared with his eyes wide open, not blinking, for fear of missing Xie Yuan's painful expression.

But gradually, Xu Yang felt something was wrong.

Xie Yuan's expression remained relaxed, as if it was just a simple handshake; however, Lin Tao's expression changed from ugly, to solemn, to surprised, and finally to horror!

In Lin Tao's feeling, Xie Yuan's hand was like an iron hoop, holding his hand in wrestling, and the strength he exerted was like a drop in the ocean, without any reaction at all; on the contrary, the force transmitted from Xie Yuan's hand was not an explosive force, but continuous and increasing, gradually making him feel pain, and sweat appeared on his forehead!
How can this person be so strong! ?

At this moment, Xie Yuan raised the corner of his mouth, revealing his white teeth:
"No way, that's not it? If that's all you can do, then Junior Brother needs to work harder."

He exerted his strength suddenly, mobilizing his internal energy and blood!
Lin Tao suddenly screamed in pain, the joints of his hands made a crisp sound, and beads of sweat instantly appeared on his forehead.

His body twisted and he gradually couldn't hold on any longer. He knelt on one knee and finally couldn't help begging for mercy. He slapped the wall of the barrel with his other hand:

"Let go, let go, let go! Damn, I was wrong!"

Xie Yuan smiled slightly and loosened his right hand.

Lin Tao breathed a sigh of relief immediately, and then suddenly felt a strong force on the back of his head, hitting the wall of the barrel. His eyes turned black and he passed out.

Xie Yuan clapped his hands and looked at Xu Yang.

Xu Yang opened his mouth wide and didn't react.

Lin Tao, who ranks high in cultivation within the sect, has never defeated Xie Yuan?
How can this be?

When he saw Xie Yuan turning around, he trembled all over and turned to leave.

"Stop, did I let you go?"

Xie Yuan snorted coldly, and Xu Yang subconsciously stopped.

He turned his head stiffly and stammered:

"You, what do you want?"

"clothing."

Xie Yuan pointed.

Xu Yang suddenly realized what was going on, and hurriedly picked up the clothes thrown on the ground one by one, folded them clumsily, and hung them back for Xie Yuan - it was hard for this young master, he probably only threw away clothes and never picked them up.

He hung up the clothes and looked at Xie Yuan with some trepidation. He saw him pointing down with his hand:

"Lin Tao."

Xu Yang hurried forward and helped Lin Tao up, staying as far away from the bathtub as possible.

The unconscious person was very heavy, but Lin Tao was helped up easily.

After standing up, Lin Tao seemed to have just woken up. He left the bathroom without saying a word and without looking back.

Seeing this, Xu Yang looked at Lin Tao's back, then looked at Xie Yuan's half-smile, and suddenly lowered his head and ran out.

As a result, he slipped when turning and fell to the ground, but he did not dare to delay and could only crawl away.

Xie Yuan chuckled and leaned comfortably in the bathtub.

He could get up and give Xu Yang a beating, but there was no need because Xu Yang was not more important than the medicine.

Xie Yuan was in an extremely good mood, and was concentrating on tempering his skin with the medicinal liquid, not paying much attention to this warm-up.

He was just thinking...

It turns out that this is all the core disciples are like in front of me now.
