chapter 8 so stupid

Chen You nodded slightly.
The old man smiled and said, "Yellow Brass Grass is a precious item, and it is usually not displayed in the shop. Please wait a moment sir, I've already sent someone to fetch it for you."
Yellow Brass Grass? They considered such super low-level elixir too valuable? Chen You remained silent. After all, this wasn't the immortal realm. If they thought it was valuable, then so be it.
The young girl also came out, carrying five long black boxes from the inner room, and then placed them on the counter.
The old man said, "Please take a look, sir. These are all Yellow Brass Grass."
Upon hearing this, Chen You picked up one of the boxes and opened it to take a glance.
Inside the black box was a red cloth lining, and on the red fabric lay a plant resembling ginseng, but was much thinner. This was the Spirit-Enhancement Herb, known as Yellow Brass Grass in this world.
"The medicinal potency is still well preserved," Chen You said indifferently. "I'll take all five."
Upon hearing this, the old man's eyes lit up.
He smiled and said, "At market price, one Yellow Brass Grass costs 50,000. Five for 250,000."
Chen You reached into his pocket, took out a stack of bills, and placed it on the table. "Here's two hundred and fifty thousand."
The old man was stunned.
Just now, there was clearly no place on Chen You where money could be stored, but now he had reached into his pocket and pulled out a thick stack of bills? What was going on?
The old man didn't have time to think about it. He picked up the bills and counted them.
"Alright, there really is 200,000," the old man's face broke into a smile, his face being crumpled with wrinkles, which gathered together.
The young girl had already packed all five boxes and placed them in a white square box, which she handed to Chen You.
Chen You took it and turned to leave. Lin Xiaojuan, who had been following him, snapped back to reality and hurried to catch up with Chen You.
As Chen You stepped out, a black Lexus slowly came to a stop in front of them.
The car stopped, and two black-clad men stepped out. When they had saw Chen You, the two exchanged a glance and walked towards him.
Seeing this scene, Chen You's eyebrows slightly relaxed. He extended his hand. "Hold these for me."
Lin Xiaojuan and reached out to take them.
The two black-clad men raised their right hands, and a crimson light emanated from behind them, gathering in their right hands. One now held a crimson dagger, similar in shape to the one that Zhu Ying had, and the other wore a crimson gauntlet that enveloped his entire hand.
Starting off with deploying their Juewu Weapons, it was clear they intended to attack directly.
These two were Zhu Li's bodyguards, and Lin Xiaojuan wasn't surprised at their appearance. Chen You previously had forcibly taken Zhu Ying's Juewu Weapon, a cruel and inhumane act that was sure to provoke anger from the Zhu family. If no one had come looking for Chen You, that would be surprising for Lin Xiaojuan.
Lin Xiaojuan instinctively looked at Chen You beside her. Chen You remained calm, showing no signs of unease or fear due to the approaching two wielders of Juewu Weapons.
Seeing this, Lin Xiaojuan's eyes gleamed with a hint of light.
Now, Lin Xiaojuan was certain. The man before her was definitely not the Chen You she knew. Or rather, everything the previous Chen You did was an act, and he had been concealing his true strength.
The two black-clad men successively stopped. The man holding the red dagger stared at Chen You and said, "Chen Shao, you forcibly took Zhu Ying's Juewu Weapon, leaving him a cripple. The Zhu family requires an explanation from Chen Shao. If Chen Shao doesn't want to suffer, just come with us. We can guarantee that you won't be harmed on the way."
The person who spoke was Zhu Yun, one of Zhu Li's bodyguards.
Chen You calmly said, "You address me as Chen Shao, which means you still acknowledge me as the eldest of the Chen family. Zhu Ying was disrespectful to me. Taking his life would have been justified, but I only crippled him. I was already quite lenient with him by sparing his life. I haven't demanded an explanation from the Zhu family, yet you have come to demand one from me. Do you think that's fair and reasonable?"
Upon hearing this, Zhu Yun furrowed his brows.
"Hmph, an outcast of the Chen family really thinks he's the eldest son of Chen Family. Zhu Yun, don't waste your breath on him. Let's act directly! The people of the Zhu family can't wait to see this disgraceful guy dead. Even if he returns disabled, they won't care," Zhu Yao said, clenching his fist. The crimson armguard emitted a strange sound.
Zhu Yun said, "Alright."
Chen You, one against two, and both armed with Juewu Weapons, was this a fight he could win? Lin Xiaojuan had her doubts. She turned her head to look at Chen You. Chen You's face was calm, his right hand raised.
A crimson dagger appeared in his palm.
This scene unfolded before the eyes of the three who were present.
Zhu Yun's eyes narrowed slightly. He looked at Chen You. "A Juewu Weapon, you had indeed hid your strength."
Juewu Weapon? Chen You's heart stirred.
This dagger was clearly Zhu Ying's Juewu Weapon, but judging by Zhu Yun's words, it seemed like he mistook it for his own Juewu Weapon. But when he thought about it, it made sense. The dagger Chen You had taken out directly from the Qiankun Ring appeared as if out of thin air. Some might think this was the Juewu Weapon concealed within Chen You's body.
Quite foolish.
Chen You didn't bother explaining. He stepped forward, and threw himself towards Zhu Yun.
"He is really self-righteous and dare strike first." Zhu Yun sneered, and the dagger that Chen You stabbed flashed past his side. In a flash, the dagger in his hand slashed towards Chen You's ribs, with the intention to injure Chen You.
"Crack!" With a muffled sound, a hand appeared under Chen You ribs, grabbing Zhu Yun's wrist which was holding the dagger.
Zhu Yun was stunned for a moment, his eyes surprised, he looked at Chen You, Chen You's black bangs floated up in the strong wind, and a pair of deep and pitch-black eyes stared at him indifferently.
Impossible, there was no way Chen You could react in time in that situation, but he somehow did!
Chen You grabbed Zhu Yun's wrist with one hand and twisted it, sending a sharp pain through Zhu Yun's wrist.
The intense pain forced Zhu Yun to release his grip. Chen You now held the hilt of the dagger that had been sticking onto Zhu Yun's wrist.
Feeling the Juewu Weapon in his grasp, Zhu Yun's face changed. "No!"
"Splurt!"
A sound of flesh being forcibly torn apart resounded through the air.
Chen You planted a foot and moved backward.
He narrowly avoided a heavy fist swung at him.
Coming to a stop, Chen You now held another crimson dagger in his left hand. He held a dagger in each hand, standing there, coldly observing.
All of this happened in a brief moment. In this instant, Zhu Yun's Juewu Weapon had been taken from him.
Zhu Yao hadn't reacted yet, but when he saw the new dagger in Chen You's hand, his expression changed. Turning to the side, he saw Zhu Yun lying on the ground, curled up, clutching his right hand. His face was deathly pale, devoid of any trace of blood. His forehead was covered in cold sweat. "My Juewu Weapon! Bastard, bastard!" he cursed angrily, but the excruciating pain prevented him from doing anything else.
Both Zhu Yao and Lin Xiaojuan were stunned.
Lin Xiaojuan raised her bare hand, covering her mouth.
In the short moment that Zhu Yun and Chen You clashed, which was really just a fraction of a second, Lin Xiaojuan hadn't expected that in this brief moment, Zhu Yun's Juewu Weapon would be taken away! Zhu Yun was crippled.
So strong! Chen You was so strong!
Seeing Zhu Yun's condition, Zhu Yao's face fluctuated between shades of green and white. He clenched his teeth, veins popping on his forehead. He gripped his fist tightly, glaring at Chen You like a raging beast. "Chen You! You bastard!"
Chen You said, "Before laying hands on others, you should be prepared to get hurt. Your companion was too foolish and too reckless, which led to his current state. Serves him right."
"Chen You!" Zhu Yao gritted his teeth, and his body radiated a crimson light. "I'm going to kill you!"
He roared and lunged at Chen You, his right armguard emanating a crimson glow, his fist aimed at Chen You's head. "Die!"
Chen You shifted his body.
Chen You avoided the attack, which did not even graze his clothes.
As Chen You evaded, Zhu Yao's lower right rib was exposed, due to his excessive force.
By dodging, Chen You created an opening.
In this moment, Zhu Yao's heated head felt like it was doused with a bucket of icy water. A cold sensation enveloped his entire body. At this point, he couldn't stop his attack, and Chen You was right beside him, with his lower rib completely open.
It was impossible, right? No! With Chen You's experience, it shouldn't be possible for him to exploit this vulnerability. Nothing should happen to him.
Embracing this notion of luck, he glanced at Chen You, only to meet a pair of indifferent, pitch-black eyes.
Zhu Yao's complexion had changed. The two words that surged in his mind were: ‘It's over’.
The crimson dagger fell beside Zhu Yao's exposed lower rib and ascended.
"Splurt!"
The sound of flesh being torn apart echoed.
A crimson-armored arm, encased in a gauntlet, flew into the air.
