Xiao Zhi said, “Nonsense. Do I really need to go take a look? I’ve eaten more salt than he’s eaten rice.”
Zhou Yu laughed. “Then what are you waiting for? Drink.”
Xiao Beibei asked, “Why aren’t you the one teaching him? I get the feeling they all revolve around you.”
Zhou Yu replied with a smile, “Though they may all look to me, that doesn’t mean I’m the most formidable.”
“Everyone has something unique about them.”
“Though I have studied the strengths of many schools, I am not as proficient or practiced in any of them as they are.”
“The only things I truly specialize in are saber techniques and the short sword.”
“So I didn’t go teach him. Besides, today is my engagement ceremony. Do you really expect me to abandon my three lovely wives and go teach someone?”
Hearing this, Wang Lingling asked, “Then why does your spear technique seem so impressive to me?”
Liu Long said, “I’ll answer that for him.”
“It’s because this fellow keeps challenging me whenever he has nothing better to do, and insists on using only a spear.”
“At the time, I was practicing the Overlord Spear. I knew the moves, but hadn’t mastered them yet, and he tried to take advantage of that.”
“The result was that I perfected the Overlord Spear, while this fellow came up with a flashy spear style. Every match ended in a draw.”
“Later, I used my strongest sword while he used his saber, and he couldn’t keep up.”

“In the end, there was nothing we could do but pair short swords with sabers, and that made us truly impossible to distinguish.”
Zhou Yu cursed, “Bullshit! When have you ever failed to lose to me by a move or two?”
Liu Long laughed. “If you’re not convinced, why don’t you fight me using only a saber?”
“Get lost. Change that longsword of yours, and I’ll fight you. Our techniques are both broad and powerful, but your weapon is longer than mine. Don’t you feel embarrassed?”
Liu Long smiled and asked, “By the way, Little Yu, there’s something I’m especially curious about.”
“You can be curious?”
“It isn’t just me. We’re all curious.”
Zhou Yu was taken aback. “Curious about what?”
Liu Long said, “How exactly do you do it? When you use only a saber, your techniques are overwhelmingly imposing. But once you add a short sword, they become so crafty, strange, and unpredictable.”
Zhou Yu froze again, then grinned mischievously. “You want to know?”
“Of course I do. Hurry up and tell me. Maybe I can study a combination of short saber and sword myself.”
Zhou Yu stuck out his tongue and shook his head like a child. “I’m not telling you. I’ll annoy you to death.”
Everyone saw his expression and was stunned.
Xiao Jie tugged at Zhou Yu from the side and whispered into his ear, “You’re a grown man already. Why are you acting like a child?”

Zhou Yu answered with a smile, “Are we really all that old?”
Xiao Jie was stunned by the question.
That was true. Were they really old?
They were only around twenty, still in the prime of their youth.
Nian Yu added, “Whether or not we’re old, you can’t stay serious for more than three seconds. One moment you’re cursing at people, and the next you’re laughing as you provoke them.”
“Aren’t you afraid people will mistake you for a tyrant with an unstable temper?”
Zhou Yu smiled and put an arm around Nian Yu. “Whether in the past, now, or in the future, I have always lived as I pleased. I’ve never cared what other people think of me.”
Nian Yu gave him a push. “You’re far too carefree. From now on, I’ll have to keep you in line a little. What kind of behavior is this?”
“Who cares? As long as we’re happy.”
Xiao Zhi joined in, saying, “I’ve lived more than half my life, yet I’m not nearly as open-minded as a youngster in his twenties.”
Zhou Yu smiled. “Keep drinking. Don’t just sit around doing nothing.”
