Ch2 - It Truly Envies Others!

Jianghu Name Da
Ch2 - It Truly Envies Others!

Phork (translator): Chapter 1 translation has been done

already BruteForceTL, you find link for the same at
Novel Updates.

Jincheng was located in the northwest, not as serene

and elegant as Jiangnan. Although it was already
summer, when the long wind blew sand and gravel
directly onto the face, it still stung the eyes.

Zhu Yanyin bought a gauze scarf from a street shop,

followed the example of the locals and covered his head
and face tightly, leaving only a slit for his eyes. He asked
in a low voice, “When can we see the divine doctor?”

Zhao Mingchuan replied that he would have to wait

another seven or eight days, or seventeen or eighteen
days, or twenty-seven or twenty-eight days.

Zhu Yanyin: “…”

Zhao Mingchuan preached: “The whereabouts of Divine

Doctor Jiang are uncertain, but since he promised to
come to the Wulin Conference, he will definitely not
break the promise. It just so happens that Jincheng has
been busy recently, so let’s just go sightseeing and
relax.”

As he was talking, another gust of wind howled through

the city. The nearby bookstall didn’t have time to pack
up, and a few sheets of paper were blown into the air,
landing accurately on Zhu Yanyin’s face.

“Ah!” Zhu Xiaosui quickly helped him pull it o!, looking at

the ghostly creature with a green face and fangs with
disgust, “What dirty thing is this.”

“The latest portrait of the leader of the Demon Cult.” The

vendor rushed over to clean it up and introduced it with
a smile on his face, “Would Young Master like one?”

Zhu Yanyin was surprised, “Does this thing also sell

well?”

Zhao Mingchuan explained from the side: “The leader of

the Wulin Alliance has issued a decree to the entire
Jianghu. Any information about Chi Tian can be
exchanged for a generous reward.”

Chi Tian was the demonic cult leader that everyone was
aiming to suppress this time. It was rumored that his
martial arts skills were highly advanced and sinister.
However, the scope of his evil deeds was currently
limited to only the northeast, where the people had not
yet had the chance to witness how cruel he was. Thus,
the people were not too afraid. Upon hearing about the
generous reward from the Wulin Alliance, they became
eager to inquire about the appearance of the target. The
portraits of his appearance quickly sold out in batched,
with people being afraid that if they saw the Demon Cult
Leader and were unable to recognize him, they might
miss out on the chance to make a fortune.

At this moment, the wind was blowing again. The vendor

ran back to pick up the books that had fallen on the
ground. Zhu Yanyin saw that he was wearing thin
clothes and seemed to be living a hard life, so he asked
Zhu Xiaosui to go help him, and ordered: “Ask how much
all these martial arts books cost, buy them, and bring
them back for me at the inn.”

When Zhu Xiaosui heard this, his eyebrows immediately

drooped. Is Young Master had already lost his memory,
why was he still buying such books? He reluctantly
moved over, helped the vendor pack the books, and
then asked like a rich man: “My Young Master wants to
buy some books for fun, do you still have any in stock?”

“Yes, yes.” The vendor was very enthusiastic, “I wonder

what book the Young Master is looking for?”

Zhu Xiaosui said, “Three mounds, five rites, eight cords,

nine mounds.”

The vendor looked puzzled.

Zhu Xiaosui could only ask again, “What about

'Gongyang Zhuan' and 'Guliang Zhuan'? These should be
included, right?”

The vendor pointed to the basket, “No, I only sell these.”

They were all related to martial arts, such as ‘Top Ten

Unsolved Mysteries of Jianghu,’ ‘One Hundred Things
Every Young Hero Must Know Upon Entering the
Jianghu,’ and some self-published works from various
sects, like ‘Success Path of the Head of Yellow Peaks
Sect: Seeing Trouble as Opportunity.’ In short, each book
was more flamboyant than the last.

Zhu Xiaosui’s hands trembled as he paid the money.

With the Wulin Convention fast approaching, martial

artists could be seen wherever the eyes roamed. Zhu
Yanyin didn’t want to stay alone in the inn, so he asked
Zhao Mingchuan about some famous places in Jincheng,
planning to stroll around and pass the time.

Zhu Xiaosui felt distressed as he made the bed for his

master. He didn’t know when that divine doctor Jiang
would arrive in Jincheng. Ah, people in the Jianghu, no
matter how you think about them, they’re always rough
and unreliable.

Jiang Shenglin’s conscience was still intact, and he felt

that this shoddy piece of work was not suitable for
deceiving people. So, he suggested, “How about I make
some improvements?”

Li Sui pulled out a piece of rice paper, “It’s not like you’re
painting a portrait of the Jiang family ancestors. There’s
no need to be so meticulous.”

Jiang Shenglin: “…”

Forget it, I won’t get angry. Even if others get angry, I

won’t. If I get sick from anger, there will be no one to
take care of me.

In the hearts of the people of Jincheng, the image of the

Demon Cult Leader could be compared to that of a
notorious demon. This as all thanks to the seven or eight
bookstores established by the Wan Ren Palace within
the city. Just a few days ago, as soon as the Wulin
alliance issued a hefty reward notice in the morning, by
the afternoon, the portrait of Chi Tian had already
spread across the entire city. Every household rushed to
obtain one, and those who couldn’t get one even
engaged in scu"es. Its popularity rivaled that of ‘The
Ten Romantic Stories of Jianghu.’

Jiang Shenglin asked again: “When do you plan to leave

for Xuecheng?”

“Next month,” Li Sui said, “you help me get a few more

sets of medicine, just in case.”

“Medicine can be prescribed, but the Red Sky technique

is too mysterious,” Jiang Shenglin spoke, stopping
midway when he saw Li Sui seeming displeased. He
changed the subject, “Even if your internal strength is
profound and you can single-handedly handle seven or
eight of them, you still have old injuries. Be cautious.”

“How should I be cautious?”

“Those Wulin Alliance people are also going to

Xuecheng. Why not go with them?” Jiang Shenglin
persuasively said, “It just so happens to be a good
opportunity to let those people in the jianghu broaden
their horizons.”

Li Sui picked up his sword, got up, and left the main hall.

Jiang Shenglin watched his departing figure and sighed

deeply from the bottom of his heart.

***

In the afternoon, Second Master Zhu wandered around

Jin City with his book boy.

The streets were crowded with people, numerous

carriages, and even more horses. Zhu Xiaosui was afraid
when he saw this bustling scene of the martial world.
What was he afraid of? Afraid that his master would be
once again stirred up by martial arts fantasies. So, he
tightly held onto his master’s sleeve with one hand,
muttering, “That’s enough, let’s go back.”

“The room is too stu!y,” Zhu Yanyin looked at a shop

sign in front of him and praised, “Nice name, let’s go in
and take a look.”

Zhu Xiaosui felt sad after hearing this. ‘Niu Dafa’s

Weapon Emporium’; what’s good about this name? If
you want to see a big sword, just say so.

Zhu Yanyin confidently walked in and pulled down the

thin veil on his face. He looked handsome and elegant.
Standing in the pitch-dark room, he practically had ‘I was
born extremely rich’ written all over him. Several shop
attendants rushed forward to greet and surround him,
introducing various treasures to him.

Second Master Zhou heard what they said and felt

intrigued, feeling that every weapon here held profound
mysteries. He turned to look at the young book boy:
Everyone seems so enthusiastic, should I buy some?
After all, I have already come all the way.

Zhu Xiaosui: I am about to be so pissed.

Zhu Yanyin, in high spirits, picked some daggers and

sleeve arrows, intending to bring them home as gifts or
for display. His elder brother, when visiting Hu City,
would buy two catties of lotus root cakes. But he, after
all, was at the Wulin Conference, right? So, he sent Zhu
Xiaosui to to pay for the items, while he continued to
look around. While looking around, he came across a
sword.
A red-black mysterious iron sword.

Leaning diagonally against the wall, wrapped in the

lingering sunset, every mark on it seemed to be filled
with tales of vicissitudes of life.

Beautiful!

Buy it!

As soon as Li Sui lifted the door curtain, he saw a thief

trying to steal his sword.

“…”

Zhu Yanyin, untrained in martial arts and unfamiliar with

manual labor, had trembling arms and weak strength. It
took a lot of e!ort just to lift the sword.

“Hoo!”

Li Sui looked at him expressionlessly.

Zhu Yanyin was completely engrossed in the sword and

didn’t notice a person in the dark. He just wanted to go
to a brighter place to appreciate it carefully. When he
stepped back, he didn’t notice a pit on the ground.
Tripping, he almost fell into the arms of another person.

“Ah!” It was a young man in splendid brocade clothes,

carrying a sword. As soon as he entered the shop, he
was pushed back two steps, hastily dodging. He
disdainfully exclaimed, “Where did this rough and
uncultured fellow come from?”

Second Master Zhu, who had never before been

referred to as ‘rough and uncultured’, was stunned and
though, ‘Is you eyesight not working? Do I look
uncultured to you?’ But after a second thought, since he
had bumped into someone first, he intended to
apologize. However, the other party had already walked
past him with his entourage, picking up a package of
daggers from the counter.
“…”

Zhu Yanyin had to speak, “Brother, these are all

purchased by me.”

The well-dressed man looked him up and down with

contempt, “You can’t even lift a sword, yet you want to
compete with me for this Floating Sky Blue Sea Distant
Mountains Empty Rain Dreamwalking Sword?”

Hearing this random name, Zhu Yanyin began to feel a

headache. He didn’t even want the knife anymore, the
name was too tacky for his liking. At this moment, Zhu
Xiaosui happened to come out with the shop assistants,
heard that others were looking down on his master, and
felt dissatisfied. So, he pointed at the items and said
loudly, “Just these, the ones we paid for earlier, pack
them all up.”

The shop assistant, wearing a forced smile, approached

to take the item away, but the well-dressed man refused
and threw the sword on the counter with a loud ‘clang’,
and said, “What can you o!er? I’ll take it.”

“Hey, you!” Zhu Xiaosui wanted to argue, but Zhu Yanyin

held him back and said calmly, “You paid the money, but
what if this gentleman is willing to pay double? Can we
stop the store owner from making money?”

The shop assistants were happy to let the two

customers negotiate by themselves. The well-dressed
man glanced at the daggers and throwing knives,
sco!ed, and said, “I’ll pay double.”

“I’ll pay triple,” Zhu Yanyin countered.

“You!” The well-dressed man’s temple throbbed.

“I’ll pay four times.”

“Five times.”

“… Six times!”

“Good!” Zhu Yanyin suddenly began to applaud

enthusiastically.

The shop assistants, catching on, also joined in the

applause.

Clap, clap, clap.

It was very lively.

The well-dressed man: “…”

His Adam’s apple rolled up and down, as he swallowed

the words “good my ass.”

Young Master Zhu was wealthy, and previously, he

selected only top-notch items. Six times the price was
not a small sum. Although the shop assistant accepted
the money from the well-dressed man, he wasn’t
particularly pleased. He thought that after a while,
someone would definitely be sent to reclaim it.
Otherwise, who would be willing to endure such an
impulsive loss? If they want it, fine, but there’s no need
to angrily damage the shop.

Then Zhu Yanyin inquired, “Brother, with such

generosity and style, I wonder which sect you come
from?”

The well-dressed man ignored him.

But there was a fool among his entourage, “Our master

is the young master of the Azure Wave Sect!”

The well-dressed man gritted his teeth, feeling

increasingly irritated.

Sure enough, Zhu Yanyin immediately exclaimed to Zhu

Xiaosui, “So, it’s the young master of the Azure Wave
Sect. No wonder he spends lavishly. We’re new to the
jianghu; today we have truly gained some insights.”

His voice was loud and clear, like a cicada. The well-
dressed man was getting more and more annoyed, so
he simply left the shop. Zhu Yanyin glanced outside, and
Zhu Xiaosui understood immediately. He chased after
him and loudly declared at the shop’s entrance, “The
young master of the Azure Wave Sect spends
generously, paying six times the silver to buy the
Floating Sky Blue Sea Distant Mountains Empty Rain
Dreamwalking Sword. It truly envies others!”

The common folks on the street didn’t quite understand

what was going on. They only heard about six times the
silver, thinking that some impressive treasure had been
bought by the young master of Azure Wave Sect. They
started cheering, expressing admiration, and marveling
at his wealth.

Zhu Yanyin said, “Now, he shouldn’t come back to

reclaim the money.”

“Yes, yes,” the assistant nodded. “Does the young master

want to buy anything else?”

“I want this sword.” Zhu Yanyin pointed to the ground.

“Deliver it directly to the inn.”

The assistant stretched his neck to take a look, and his

face turned pale. Wasn’t this the Palace Master’s sword?
Why was it here?
“We can’t sell this one, sir. Please choose another one!”

Zhu Yanyin was puzzled, “Why can’t it be sold?”

The assistant quickly ran behind the counter, put the

sword in the cabinet, and said, “This also belongs to a
guest, temporarily stored here.”

Zhu Yanyin was surprised, “You can actually lift it?”

The assistant said, “…I’m a blacksmith, I have strong

arms.”

Zhu Yanyin responded with a sentence, feeling

somewhat regretful inside because he genuinely liked
that sword. He then carefully explained to the shop
assistant, asking him to inquire whether the customer
would be willing to sell the sword, or at least inquire
where the sword was purchased.

The assistant responded perfunctory and reluctantly

followed along, and after spending much e!ort, finally
sent the two away. He stopped doing business and
hurriedly closed the door. Originally, he intended to take
the sword to the backyard and return it to the Palace
Master. However, when he looked into the cabinet,
there was no trace of the mysterious sword. As he lifted
his head, only a dark figure passed by, almost becoming
a gust of wind. He quickly knelt on one knee, sweat
breaking out on his back, “This subordinate respectfully
sees o! the Palace Master.”
