It was clear that Lu Wen was that kind of person.
If it came down to a real fight, Yu Shuntian could kill him with a single slap.
But this fellow just had to get the better of you with his words.
Even if you broke both his legs and asked him if he was convinced, he would still say he wasn't.
The only way to shut him up was to kill him.
However, Yu Shuntian and Lu Wen were not at the point where they wanted to kill each other.
What could be done? He couldn't actually kill him.
But fortunately, Lu Wen couldn't out-talk Yu Shuntian either.
This was quite comical.
Unable to win in a fight or in an argument, he could only fume in silence.
Yu Daohan finally understood Lu Wen's temperament completely.
People like him were the most troublesome. If there was a deep-seated hatred, it would be easier to handle.
A single sword strike would settle it all.
But it was precisely when there wasn't such a deep hatred, and you couldn't bring yourself to take his life,
Yet he kept chattering incessantly.
Like a headless fly, he would make you agitated.
The two sat down, and Yu Shuntian looked at his grandson, murmuring, "You've probably guessed some of it, haven't you?"
Yu Daohan nodded and asked curiously, "Grandpa, what exactly happened back then? Could it be that you..."
Lu Wen, at the front of the boat, suddenly chimed in, "That's right, your grandpa is a heartless man."
Yu Shuntian could no longer stand it. He turned to glare at Lu Wen and said menacingly, "You scoundrel, do you believe I'll throw you to the bottom of the lake to feed the fish?"
Lu Wen immediately shut his mouth.
If you asked him to curse a couple of times, he would definitely do it without hesitation, even four or five times.
But if you asked him to fight, see if he dared.
Yu Daohan was also left speechless by Lu Wen, not knowing whether to laugh or cry.
This guy was both deserving of a beating and cowardly, with only a tough mouth.
He was like an old child.
Seeing that Lu Wen had fallen silent, Yu Shuntian finally began to speak, "Back then..."
In his youth, Yu Shuntian was a renowned figure who commanded respect. However, after meeting his wife, he retired from the martial world.
But the martial world was not so easily left behind.
Even though Yu Shuntian had retired, his enemies still found him.
And Yu Daohan's grandmother was injured by his enemies, falling into critical condition.
In a fit of rage, Yu Shuntian massacred his enemies, their sects, and their families.
At that time, a second-rate sect and two third-rate families were annihilated.
It was precisely this terrifying massacre that made all of the Yu family's enemies afraid to seek revenge again.
This was how the nickname "Demon Slayer Yu Shuntian" came about.
However, Yu Daohan's grandmother was severely injured, and Yu Shuntian had no choice but to go to Phoenix Ancient Town to seek treatment from the owner of Wugeng Hall, who was also Bian Xiangu's father, Bian Dai.
When Yu Shuntian arrived, it was the time of Wugeng Hall's martial arts competition for marriage.
Coincidentally, Bian Dai took an immediate liking to Yu Shuntian and insisted that his grandson become his son-in-law.
Bian Xiangu, Bian Lihong, also fell for the dashing young Yu Shuntian at first sight.
The Yu family's genes were, of course, exceptional. The women were intelligent and lively, while the men were dashing and elegant.
This could be seen by observing Yu Daohan and Yu Yijun.
Although Yu Shuntian and his wife had not yet had their wedding ceremony, they had already committed to each other and he naturally could not agree.
But Bian Lihong was completely smitten with Yu Shuntian and was determined to marry no one but him.
Bian Dai also greatly favored Yu Shuntian.
Seeing that Yu Shuntian refused, he threatened that if he wanted to save his wife, he must marry Bian Lihong.
Yu Shuntian, in his prime and full of youthful vigor, naturally refused and threatened to slaughter all of Wugeng Hall if they did not save his wife.
The situation immediately became tense.
However, Bian Lihong suddenly thought of a plan.
If he wouldn't marry her, he could at least win the martial arts competition for marriage.
The winner of the martial arts competition for marriage was recognized by the martial world as Bian Lihong's husband.
If Yu Shuntian won first place, he would have to marry Bian Lihong.
Otherwise, he would be considered a runaway groom, and the world would talk about him.
Yu Shuntian, eager to save his wife, didn't think much of it and immediately agreed.
As for Lu Wen,
He had grown up playing with Bian Lihong and they were childhood sweethearts.
However, Bian Lihong did not like him.
Next, Yu Shuntian single-handedly defeated all the contestants in the martial arts competition for marriage.
Yu Shuntian knew that Bian Lihong's plan was a trap, so after Bian Dai had treated his wife, he immediately fled with her.
Although Bian Dai sent people to pursue them, he was helpless.
At that time, Yu Shuntian was at the peak of his strength, a true Black List expert.
There were fewer than a handful of people in the martial world who could match his skills.
Thus, Yu Shuntian and his wife completely retired from the martial world and lived in seclusion.
For Yu Shuntian, he had already intended to retire from the martial world, and his reputation, good or bad, meant nothing to him.
After this incident, Wugeng Hall's reputation was ruined and it became a laughingstock of the world.
Bian Dai also knew Yu Shuntian's strength and did not send anyone to hunt him down.
Bian Lihong, heartbroken, took charge of Wugeng Hall and established a rule:
"Heartless men and those surnamed Yu will not be saved."
As for Lu Wen, he was also deeply devoted to Bian Lihong.
But Bian Lihong completely ignored him, and in the end, he could only offer his affection to a cold shoulder.
However, Lu Wen back then was full of confidence, vowing to win first place and marry Bian Lihong.
He was not without skill, and he defeated many strong opponents in the martial arts competition for marriage that year.
But unexpectedly, Yu Shuntian appeared and, with a single palm, knocked him to the ground.
From then on, Lu Wen harbored a grudge against Yu Shuntian.
He kept challenging Yu Shuntian, but he was repeatedly defeated, only to challenge again.
Finally, Yu Shuntian, fed up with the constant harassment, waited until his son was eighteen years old and told Lu Wen to challenge him.
But who would have thought that Lu Wen couldn't even defeat Yu Shuntian's eighteen-year-old son.
Lu Wen was unconvinced, and from then on, he changed his target, aiming to defeat Yu Shuntian's son.
Time flew by until his mother became pregnant with him.
His father, like his grandfather, waited until he was eighteen and then told Lu Wen to challenge him.
Lu Wen could no longer bear such humiliation and setbacks, so he simply stopped coming to challenge.
After listening to his grandfather's account, Yu Daohan couldn't help but look at Lu Wen at the front of the boat.
He never expected this guy to have such a history of being humiliated.
But he was also surprised by his grandfather's past experiences.
Yu Shuntian looked at the lake and sighed, "It's all past karma."
Lu Wen at the front of the boat said unhappily, "A heartless man is a heartless man. No matter how many stories you make up, it's useless."
Hearing this, Yu Shuntian turned around and couldn't help but curse, "I'm telling you, do you really not believe I'll throw you into the lake to feed the fish?"
Lu Wen immediately stopped talking.
Yu Shuntian looked at the fellow and became increasingly angry.
Why was he so deserving of a beating?
"Grandpa, aren't you going to meet Bian Xiangu?" Yu Daohan couldn't help but ask.
It was true that Bian Xiangu was in the wrong first in this matter, but so many years had passed, and who was right or wrong no longer mattered.
Yu Shuntian shook his head helplessly and said, "Never mind. She did have a deep affection for me, but so many years have passed, and meeting or not meeting is no longer important."
