Martial Arts Crossover: Zhao Min, your sidekick is really something else.

Bao Butong, on the other hand, was kicked out of the inn by Murong Fu and not allowed to stay any longer.

This minor incident did not cause much of a commotion.

Most of the people present were still discussing what to make Xiao Yaoqing say.

"Sir, you only commented on a few people last time. Why don't you make a list today and rank them one by one in detail?"

A man stood up with a smile and cupped his hands in greeting to Xiao Yaoqing.

Xiao Yaoqing politely returned the greeting, then asked, "What kind of ranking would you all like me to create?"

"I heard that you said last time that Ouyang Feng, the Western Poison, is not a hero and is not worth mentioning at all."

Why don't you, sir, discuss the heroes of the world with us today?

The man still had that same smiling face, but Xiao Yaoqing always felt that there was a barb hidden in his words.

to be frank.

The so-called "Heroes of the World" list that the other party mentioned is impossible to rank.

It's just a job that's asking for trouble.

Unexpectedly, as soon as the curtain was lifted, a voice interrupted him.

"Wait!"

"You, a person like you, dare to rank all the martial arts in the world?"

Before the words had even faded, a middle-aged scholar, fanning himself, swaggered across the threshold.

He looks dashing, but the arrogance in his eyes and brows is impossible to hide.

Who comes here?

Xiao Yaoqing's gaze swept over, his voice turning colder.

Upon hearing this, the scholar's expression immediately changed. He closed his folding fan, raised his hand, and pointed at the scholar, saying, "Hmph, you don't even recognize me, yet you dare to comment on martial arts in the martial world? How utterly laughable!"

Xiao Yaoqing did not move.

He simply stared at the other person, waiting for what he would say next.

But at this moment, Huang Rong, with her keen eyesight, saw that things were not going well and immediately stood up and spoke.

"Don't rush to create any hero rankings yet! You haven't finished talking about the top ten martial arts techniques from the Song and Ming dynasties!"

As soon as these words were spoken, most of the martial arts practitioners present perked up their ears.

They're stationed in Qixia Town, aren't they after those remaining eight ultimate techniques?

Murong Fu clenched his fist.

He traveled all the way from the Northwest, even abandoning his place there, just to hear about these eight martial arts techniques with his own ears.

Following Huang Rong's words, he lowered his voice and bowed respectfully, saying, "Sir, let's finish revealing the list from last time first."

Upon seeing this, the others immediately joined in the shouting.

"Yeah! Yeah! It's one thing to create plot holes in storytelling, but to leave half of the stories unfinished on the charts?"

"Sir, please have mercy! I've been waiting here for days, just waiting to hear the remaining eight gates!"

"That's what we'll talk about! That's what we'll talk about!"

"That's right, we have to finish talking about the last list!"

There was a chorus of shouts both inside and outside the inn.

The man who had previously proposed the list of heroes squinted, smiled, cupped his hands in greeting, and sat back down.

On the surface, it's just a routine suggestion.

But secretly, Huang Rong, Yaoyue, and Guo Songyang's eyes were already fixed on him.

Xiao Yao glanced around and, seeing that everyone was interested in the list, nodded.

"Alright, let's finish discussing this list today."

Before he could finish speaking, a cold voice suddenly came from outside the door.

"etc!"

"You, a person like you, dare to rank all the martial arts in the world?"

"That person is Bai Xiaosheng?"

"That's right, this generation's all-knowing scholar, he's said to know everything, even the weapon ranking list was compiled by him!"

Someone in the inn, who had been watching the middle-aged man, suddenly shouted out.

What?! The All-Knowing Scholar?!

As soon as these words spread, the inn was in an uproar.

Some people originally thought that Xiao Yaoqing was the all-knowing scholar, and came here specifically to join in the fun.

It turned out that Xiao Yaoqing was not the real expert at all; the real expert himself came to visit!

Depend on!

As soon as Bai Xiaosheng appeared, most of the people present began to waver.

It's worth noting that the title of "Master of All Knowledge" has been passed down through several generations, with new people taking over each time.

But very few people have seen his true face, and no one dares to offend him.

In addition, the information he released was never wrong, which built up his mystique and prestige.

Many people privately believe that there must be a powerful force behind Bai Xiaosheng.

On the other hand, Xiao Yaoqing is indeed a skilled storyteller; last time he commented on martial arts, even Qiao Feng nodded in approval.

But he's only been around for a short time; he's still a newcomer.

Most people in the martial arts world prefer to believe in veterans like Bai Xiaosheng.

The tide turned immediately—as soon as Bai Xiaosheng appeared, many people began to doubt the reliability of Xiao Yaoqing's martial arts commentary.

Not far from the inn, Bao Butong hadn't gone far.

Seeing this, he couldn't stop smiling.

Although this guy loved listening to Xiao Yaoqing talk about "Covering the Sky," he felt from the beginning that Xiao Yaoqing was not qualified to comment on the martial arts of the world.

Murong Fu, fearing to anger Yihua Palace, sent him away, but he remained resentful.

Now that Bai Xiaosheng has stepped in, Bao Butong simply stays where he is, gloating as he continues to watch the show.

When Murong Fu saw Bai Xiaosheng questioning Xiao Yaoqing in public, he also began to have doubts.

He turned to look at Wang Yuyan.

"Cousin, what do you think of Xiao Yaoqing's martial arts critique?"

"What Mr. Wang said should be correct, but I haven't seen the Twenty Subduing Dragon Palms, oh no, it's been changed to the Eighteen Subduing Dragon Palms now, and the Nine Yin Manual either..."

"Okay, I understand."

Wang Yuyan was interrupted before she could finish speaking.

Before Wang Yuyan could finish speaking, Murong Fu had already sided with Bai Xiaosheng.

Especially after Wang Yuyan mentioned the Eighteen Subduing Dragon Palms in front of him, he became even more convinced of this.

Recently, news spread from the Beggars' Sect that Qiao Feng had indeed simplified the Twenty-Eight Subduing Dragon Palms into eighteen palms, resulting in a dramatic increase in power.

For a time, the reputation of Qiao Feng in the North overshadowed that of Murong in the South.

Murong Fu was seething with anger.

Now that he has heard that Xiao Yaoqing helped Qiao Feng, and Bai Xiaosheng has publicly questioned Xiao Yaoqing, Murong Fu has long since concluded that Xiao Yaoqing is not qualified to comment on martial arts.

He was a little disappointed with the trip.

Fortunately, the all-knowing scholar appeared. As long as we can win over this expert, our trip won't be in vain.

Thinking of this, Murong Fu stood up and clasped his hands in greeting: "I have long admired the name of Senior Bai Xiaosheng. I am Murong Fu from Gusu. I am honored to meet you."

As soon as he said that, the surrounding area erupted in chaos.

Murong Fu did not openly support Bai Xiaosheng, but this action was clearly to bolster Bai Xiaosheng's reputation.

Before long, more people began to side with Bai Xiaosheng, questioning Xiao Yaoqing's qualifications one by one.

Xiao Yaoqing glanced at Murong Fu and sneered inwardly.

What an idiot.

On the other side, Huang Rong's anger flared up immediately after hearing Murong Fu's words.

Just as she was about to stand up, reveal her identity, and speak up for Xiao Yaoqing, her sleeve was grabbed.

"Dad, are you going to poop?"

Huang Rong was both angry and anxious.

Huang Yaoshi snorted: "If he can't even handle Bai Xiaosheng, he's not qualified to be my son-in-law."

Huang Rong was stunned; all she could hear was "Huang Yaoshi's son-in-law."

Those few words filled her with a mix of sweetness and nervousness; she could only look longingly at Xiao Yaoqing.

Not far away, Yaoyue couldn't sit still any longer.

She has always been aloof and domineering; when has anyone ever dared to be so arrogant in front of her?

First it was Bao Butong, then Bai Xiaosheng; one by one they came to cause trouble for Xiao Yaoqing.

Having decided on Xiao Yaoqing, Yaoyue snorted coldly and prepared to kill Bai Xiaosheng.

Lianxing quickly stopped her: "Sister, don't rush."

"Xiao Yaoqing hasn't spoken yet, let's wait a bit longer."

Killing Bai Xiaosheng is a small matter, but disrupting his storytelling is a much bigger problem.

Yaoyue took a deep breath: "Let this little brat live a little longer."

In a corner of the inn, Xiaolongnu, dressed in white and wearing a veil, frowned slightly as she looked at Bai Xiaosheng at the door.

She was aloof and simple-minded, and had already taken out a bottle of Yufeng honey from her bosom.

"What are you laughing at?"

Bai Xiaosheng's face darkened, and he questioned him sternly.

Xiao Yaoqing waved his fan and said slowly, "I laugh at all of you for being so muddle-headed, and I laugh at you, the all-knowing scholar, for not being smart enough."

"You dare insult me?!"

Bai Xiaosheng was furious.

"Today is the perfect opportunity to show everyone just how outrageous your weapon ranking is."

Xiao Yaoqing was plotting in his mind, figuring out how to make a big fuss and attract more attention.

This all-knowing scholar, on the other hand, delivered himself right to my doorstep, practically offering his face to me.

He'd be a fool not to slap him a couple of times while he was at it.

He had already read the weapons ranking list several times and knew it very well.

If we don't make a scene this time, we'll be wasting this opportunity.

Bai Xiao was so angry that she was trembling all over.

The weapons ranking list was his proudest achievement in life.

Although women and those from the demonic path are not included, those who make the list are all top-tier masters in the martial arts world.

Some people are dissatisfied because they feel their ranking is too low.

Overall, people in the martial arts world still recognize this list.

It was because of this weapon ranking that Bai Xiaosheng went from an unknown nobody to a well-known figure.

But now Xiao Yaoqing is saying to his face that the rankings are a mess.

Isn't that the same as pointing your finger at his ancestors and cursing them?

No one could tolerate this.

Having been in the martial arts world for so long, Bai Xiaosheng managed to suppress his anger no matter how much he was furious.

The main problem is that he doesn't have the guts to take action directly.

"Since you say my ranking is no good, then you rank it!"

Bai Xiaosheng was furious.

"I'll see what you're capable of!"

Upon hearing this, the people around them perked up.

Yeah, if you say it won't work, then do it yourself.

Let's have a debate in front of everyone, it'll be a good show to watch.

Huang Rong, Yaoyue, Xiaolongnu, and Wang Yuyan all had their eyes on Xiao Yaoqing.

Although they couldn't quite explain why, they all agreed that Xiao Yaoqing wouldn't make a mistake.

"Okay."

Xiao Yaoqing smiled and stared at Bai Xiaosheng. "I heard that in your weapon ranking, neither women nor demonic cultivators are included?"

Bai Xiaosheng nodded, "That's right, that's how it is."

"That's going to be interesting."

Xiao Yaoqing asked in a light tone, "That master of the Golden Wind and Fine Rain Pavilion, Su Mengzhen, tell me, is he a woman or a demonic cultivator?"

"Su Mengzhen?"

Bai Xiaosheng's expression suddenly changed.

He quickly regained his composure, chuckled twice, and said, "Golden Wind and Fine Rain Pavilion, the number one gang in Bianjing."

The original poster, Su Mengzhen, suffered a severe injury as a child and was barely clinging to life.

"Can I still take up arms and go into battle?"

He paused, then his tone turned serious, "Kid, don't try to be unreasonable."

To be honest, even Bai Xiaosheng himself wasn't sure if Su Mengzhen was still capable of fighting.

But this concerned the safety of the Golden Breeze and Drizzle Pavilion, so he had no way to investigate.

Let's just consider Su Mengzhen as useless.

After all, Su Mengzhen hadn't appeared in public for a long time.

But at that moment, Guo Songyang spoke up.

I met Su Louzhu once last year.

"He's better than me."

As soon as he finished speaking, Bai Xiaosheng's face turned dark.
