Chapter 30 (2/2)
“Laoye Zi,” Zhao Min said, “This Mrs Han’s character is similar to that of The Old Man of the Mountain; you treated her with utmost kindness, yet she plotted to harm you”
Xie Xun sighed, “It is coe about that?” he said
Zhao Min lowered her head and was silent for half a day before saying, Mrs Han was the chief of the Ming Cult’s Four Kings, but her martial art skill is not necessarily superior to Laoye Zi Last night, why didn’t she use the deathly stances of ‘qian zhu wan du shou’ [hand of thousand spiders ten thousands poisons] when she fought with the Persian Three Emissaries?”
“Qian zhu wan du shou?” Xie Xun asked, “Mrs Han does not know that skill She is a wo beauty, and she cherishes her appearanceto practice this kind of skill?”
Zhang Wuji, Zhao Min and Zhou Zhiruo were startled; they thought Jin Hua Popo was ugly Looking at her present appearance, even if she was thirty, forty years younger, it would be very difficult for the beauty Her nose was crooked and her lips thick; her face was oval-shaped, her ears as big as a pair of fans Certainly these features would not change over time
Zhao Min laughed and said, “Laoye Zi, I’ll say Jin Hua Popo’s beauty is nowhere near ‘outstanding’”
“What?” Xie Xun said, “Zi Shan Long wang’s [purple-robed dragon king] beauty is sio she was the Wulin World’s Number One Beauty Granted that she is advanced in years now, but her gracefulness in the past should still be there … Ay, too bad I cannot see her anymore”
Listening to hi that soly, hunched back and sickly woman was the Wulin World’s Number One Beauty? nobody would buy that “Laoye Zi,” she asked, “Your nah, so nobody would doubt you Bai Mei Ying wang [white-browed eagle king] founded a cult He ed to stand equally with the six ainst theed bat king] cohost That day at the Wan An Temple he threatened to destroy my face; hereafter if I think about it, I a in fear On the other hand Jin Hua Popo to have a position above the other three is rather unsuitable although her h and quite resourceful I wonder why?”
Xie Xun replied, “That was because Yin Er Ge [Second (older Brother Yin], Wei Si Di [Fourth (younger) Brother Wei) and I, three people illing to yield to her”
“Why?” Zhao Min asked Suddenly she chuckled and said, “Because she was the reat heroes illing to subolian woman, who did not confine herself to senior-junior propriety; whatever came into her mind, she would unscrupulously blurt it out as a joke toward Xie Xun
Surprisingly, Xie Xun was not angered He sighed and said, “Do you think only three people illingly submitted under her skirt? If I say there were a hundred people inside and outside the Cult who hoped to attain Taj-kis’ favor, I am afraid that number is still too few”
