"You can't, but that doesn't mean Young Master Lin can't!" Yue Ling Shan huffed, "This is the difference between talent and ordinary people!"
Lu Dayou exclaimed, "Sister Disciple, why do you always speak for that Young Master Lin? Are you interested in him? I'll tell the Senior Brother!"
Yue Ling Shan was both embarrassed and angry: "Six Monkey, what nonsense are you talking about? I just praised Young Master Lin for being young and accomplished. I... I want to tell the Senior Brother to teach you a good lesson!"
Lu Dayou was momentarily taken aback, but upon hearing Yue Ling Shan, he quickly backed down, repeatedly clasping his hands in apology and promising many benefits until he finally coaxed Yue Ling Shan into not being angry anymore.
"Second Senior Brother, is Young Master Lin's martial arts so strong because it's a family tradition of the Lin family? Besides the Evil Dispelling Sword Technique, does the Lin family have other powerful martial arts?" Fourth Senior Brother Gao Genming asked.
Liang Fa replied, "Both Sister Disciple and I are curious. Sister Disciple asked without thinking, but fortunately, Young Master Lin was magnanimous and didn't get angry. Instead, he openly told us about his master. It turns out that Young Master Lin did not cultivate the Lin family's Evil Dispelling Sword Technique, but instead became a disciple of a hidden sect called Xiaoyao Sect. According to Young Master Lin, the Xiaoyao Sect originated during the Northern Song period. The founding master was not only highly skilled in martial arts but also exceptionally talented in literature and various disciplines, truly a prodigy. Among his disciples were not only imperial consorts but also emperors and princes from neighboring countries; even the Shaolin Temple could hardly compare. Young Master Lin excels in both literature and martial arts, merely inheriting the legacy of his predecessors."
"Wow, that sounds impressive!" Lu Dayou exclaimed. "With such an amazing sect and martial arts background, why isn't he more prominent in the Jianghu of Zhongdu?"
Liang Fa responded, "Young Master Lin's master doesn't allow him to reveal his martial arts unless it's a matter of life and death or when faced with great danger. If it weren't for this time when the Qingcheng Sect wanted to seize the Evil Sword Manual, Young Master would not have revealed his skills."
"Now that he's exposed, he won't need to hide anymore, right?" Shi Daizi said. "Young Master Lin's reputation will surely stir up a storm in the Jianghu!"
"Exactly! At just eighteen or nineteen years old, Young Master Lin has such high martial arts skills. In a few years, even the Abbot Master of the Shaolin Temple might not be his match!" Yue Ling Shan had a good impression of Lin Pingzhi, but in this lifetime, they would not have more opportunities to interact, so there would be no chance for romantic feelings to develop. She wondered how Linghu Chong would fare this time—would he remain loyal to his Sister Disciple, or would he be moved by the devoted and sensible Ren Yingying?
"Our Senior Brother is also capable! His swordsmanship is exceptional; even the Chongxu Daoist Priest from Wudang would have to bow down before him. And as for our master, even if that Young Master Lin could defeat Shaolin Master Fangzheng, he definitely cannot compare to our master!" Lu Dayou said.
"That's right!" Yue Ling Shan said proudly. "Father and Senior Brother are the most remarkable. No one in Jianghu can compare to them."
Bai Tang smiled smugly and whispered to Karen, "The fate of that Young Master Lin, which was originally one of family ruin and personal tragedy, has changed because of my intervention. Now he not only protects his home but has also become a promising young expert in Jianghu. Hehe, as for their so-called master and Senior Brother—those martial skills were arranged by me as well. Don't you think I'm impressive?"
"Yes, very impressive," Karen replied lightly.
"You're just brushing me off!" Bai Tang pouted.
Karen Adrian turned back in a daze.
Bai Tang turned around and said, "Forget it!" She must have been out of her mind to expect Karen Adrian to support her.
Footsteps echoed on the street. A group of people rushed over, their movements light and swift, clearly martial artists. The crowd turned to look outside the street and saw more than ten people quickly approaching through the pouring rain. These individuals were all wearing oilcloth raincoats. As they got closer, it became clear that they were a group of Nun.
Upon seeing the tall Nun leading the group, Huashan Disciple hurriedly stood up to greet her, calling her Ding Yi Master Uncle. Indeed, this person was the master of Hengshan Baiyun Monastery, Ding Xian Shitai, who was also a senior sister of the Hengshan Sect leader. Not only was she highly regarded within the Hengshan Sect, but she was also feared by many in the martial world.
"Where is Linghu Chong?" Ding Yi asked with an unpleasant tone.
Liang Fa respectfully replied, "The Senior Brother parted ways with us halfway and agreed to meet in Hengyang City. He should not have arrived in Hengyang yet. May I ask what Master Uncle needs with him?"
Ding Yi said, "My disciple Yilin has been kidnapped, and someone saw her with Linghu Chong."
Upon hearing this, Huashan Disciple was greatly alarmed. Yue Ling Shan quickly said, "Even if the Senior Brother is reckless, he would never dare to offend your esteemed sect's senior sister!"
Liang Fa added, "Master Uncle, perhaps the Senior Brother just happened to run into Yilin; given his character, he wouldn't kidnap your sect's junior sister."
"You are naturally speaking for your Senior Brother!" Ding Yi snorted angrily and suddenly reached out to grab Yue Ling Shan's wrist. It felt as if an iron hoop had been placed around her wrist. With a cry of surprise, she trembled and said, "Master... Master Uncle!"
Ding Yi shouted, "You Huashan Sect have kidnapped my Yilin. I will take one of your female disciples as a hostage in return. If you release my Yilin, I will also let go of Yue Ling Shan!” Turning around, she pulled Yue Ling Shan away. Feeling a wave of weakness in her upper body, Yue Ling Shan stumbled along behind her onto the street.
The disciples of Huashan were shocked and rushed forward to block her. At that moment, two people appeared at the street corner holding oil-paper umbrellas and lanterns, hurrying towards them; it was Xiang Dazheng and Mi Wei'an, whom Bai Tang had seen outside the Liu Residence. They had come specifically to invite Ding Yi Shitai, while also taking the disciples of Huashan along with them. The tea house suddenly became much emptier.
After a while, another person rushed in from the rain; it was the girl from the Qu family who had changed her name to Qu Yunwu. She did not carry an umbrella but used her wind-based ability to shield herself from the raindrops, preventing them from touching her. Many martial artists were astonished by this scene; this girl had achieved such mastery at a young age—was it too exaggerated? Was the martial world about to change? First came a young master like Lin Pingzhi, who repelled the Qingcheng Sect, and now this unknown girl—were they going to make it difficult for seasoned practitioners who had trained for decades?
Qu Yunwu sat down at Bai Tang's table, and Bai Tang poured her a cup of hot tea: "Drink some hot tea to ward off the chill!"
Qu Yunwu raised the teacup and drank it all: "Thank you!"
Bai Tang: "Did you clarify things with your Grandpa? Does he believe you?"
Qu Yunwu: "My Grandpa recognized me!"
Bai Tang: "Huh? Isn't there a Qu Feiyan in this world?"
Qu Yunwu: "My Grandpa had a dream the night before, and the scenes in the dream were just like my original experiences. Influenced by the dream, Grandpa secretly investigated the movements of the Songshan Sect and found that their plans were the same as in his dream. When I went to tell Grandpa about the Golden Basin Retirement Ceremony, he became suspicious of me. Having grown up with Grandpa, he is familiar with all my actions; although my appearance has changed, he still recognized me. I then confessed to Grandpa about my past life and this life. He was heartbroken and wanted me to stay with him from now on, promising to take good care of me."
Qu Yunwu smiled happily: "Grandpa even let this life’s Qu Yunwu call me sister! By the way, I came to say goodbye to you; I will be following Grandpa from now on."
"Congratulations on reuniting with your grandfather. By the way, does your Grandpa have any plans for tomorrow's Golden Basin Retirement Ceremony?"
Qu Yunwu replied: "Grandpa went to discuss it with Grandpa Liu. Tomorrow's Golden Basin Ceremony will proceed as usual, but tonight, we will secretly send Grandpa Liu's family out of the city! After we defeat the Songshan Sect tomorrow, we will meet up with them and then withdraw from the martial world."
"Have you thought about where to go?" Bai Tang asked.
Qu Yunwu revealed two dimples: "We decided to set sail! We’ll also look for Peach Blossom Island, not sure if anyone is still there!"
"I have a map of Peach Blossom Island, I can give it to you. But don’t expect to encounter any descendants of Peach Blossom Island or find any martial arts Secret Manual. It has already been completely abandoned; when I went last time, I found nothing." Bai Tang copied a sea chart of Peach Blossom Island from the system for Qu Yunwu.
"Thank you!" Qu Yunwu took the sea chart. "What a pity that Huang Yaoshi, such an extraordinary master, left no inheritance behind. Unlike the Quanzhen Sect, which may have disappeared from history but has branches like Huashan Sect continuing their legacy."
Bai Tang nodded: "It is indeed quite unfortunate. I originally planned for Lin Pingzhi to be the successor of Peach Blossom Island, but after going there once, I found nothing."
"Lin Pingzhi learned martial arts from you?" Qu Yunwu was surprised. "He claims to be from Xiaoyao Sect. Did you really teach him the martial arts of Xiaoyao Sect? Was it the Northern Darkness Divine Skill or the Eight Desolations and Six Harmonies, Only I Am Supreme Skill?"
"Not at all, Lin Pingzhi only learned Lingbo Weibu and Mountain Six Sun Palm, and for internal skills, he learned Shang Jiu Yang Shen Gong!"
"You've mastered all of Jin Yong's martial arts?" Qu Yunwu looked at him in admiration.
"How is that possible! I just cleared a few fixed dungeons, and not every location has a Secret Manual left behind, like Peach Blossom Island."
"What dungeons did you clear?" Qu Yunwu asked curiously.
"Peach Blossom Island, Kunlun Mountain, Dead Man's Tomb, Mountain Spirit Eagle Palace, and outside of Xiangyang City, Dugu Sword Valley! I left Dugu Sword Valley for Feng Qingyang, and the Nine Yin Manual and Quanzhen Swordsmanship I got from Dead Man's Tomb went to Huashan Sect."
"No wonder my Grandpa praises Linghu Chong's martial arts skills; Yue Buqun would teach his disciples. It turns out you gave them a cheat!"
"Linghu Chong learned the Dugu Nine Swords left for Huashan Sect by Feng Qingyang," Bai Tang said. "Now that Yue Buqun has the Nine Yin Manual, an ultimate martial art, he will definitely look down on the Bixie Sword Manual. Huashan Sect and Lin Pingzhi won't have a tragic ending; isn't that good?"
"Good. Besides these two things, what other changes to the plot have you made? Spill it all at once!"
"There's only one thing: I stopped the leader from castrating himself!" Bai Tang chuckled.
"...You're amazing!" Qu Yunwu was completely convinced. (To be continued)
