As the voice fell, a young girl walked in with a lively step. She appeared to be around sixteen or seventeen years old, tall and slender, with long, shiny black hair. Her eyebrows were delicate, and her eyes sparkled like pearls, bright and beautiful. She was holding a long, blood-red whip.
"Daughter greets Father," the girl said.
"My dear daughter, how was it outside this time?" Li Kaishan asked, concern evident in his eyes as he stood up.
The girl pouted and huffed, "Don't worry, Father. I'm so capable; who could possibly defeat me?"
Hearing this, Li Kaishan smiled wryly and said, "Li Yuyan, you must understand that there are others out there. As a girl, engaging in fighting and killing is quite inappropriate."
"Hmph! Just because I'm a girl doesn't mean I can't practice martial arts. What I did was rob the rich to help the poor," Li Yuyan retorted, glaring at the bandits. "Isn't that right?"
"Yes, yes!" The bandits seemed extremely fearful of her and nodded in agreement.
"You... sigh." Li Kaishan sighed with a wry smile. "You are so sharp-tongued; your father cannot compete with you." Despite his words, his eyes were filled with affection.
"Hmph! Father, this time I killed two unscrupulous merchants. What reward will you give me?" Li Yuyan asked slyly as she approached Li Kaishan.
"Hahaha! Well done! Those merchants deserved to die," Li Kaishan said, waving his hand. "Someone bring a chair for the eldest sister."
"Hmph! I'm asking you a question," Li Yuyan replied unhappily.
Wang Yi withdrew his gaze and noticed that all the bandits seemed to fear this girl. He couldn't help but ask, "Big Brother, is this girl perhaps the daughter of Big Boss?"
Upon hearing this, a nearby bandit looked at Li Yuyan's back in shock and whispered, "Brother Wang is correct; she is indeed our Big Boss's daughter. However, the eldest sister doesn't like being called 'girl,' so make sure she doesn't hear you say that."
"Don't worry; I'm just a lowly follower. How could your eldest sister care?" Wang Yi said dismissively.
"Brother Wang, let me tell you; you're gravely mistaken if you think that way. Just make sure you don't offend the eldest sister," the bandit said fearfully as he glanced at Li Yuyan before quickly averting his gaze.
"Brothers, today the lady returns victorious! Come! Let's raise a glass to her." Li Kaishan stood up and laughed.
"Big Boss is right, let's toast to our sister and welcome her back in triumph."
"Yes, yes, yes! Our elder sister is unmatched in martial arts, upholding justice and eliminating evil. She is one of the finest chivalrous women of the Song Dynasty."
"Our elder sister possesses extraordinary skills and is invincible."
In an instant, praises filled the air, and Li Yuyan felt a sense of pride, as if she had accomplished something great.
"Where, where? The wicked deceive the people; I am merely acting on behalf of justice," Li Yuyan said, feeling flattered by the crowd's admiration. Her cheeks flushed slightly as she hurriedly raised her cup. "Come, come, I will toast to everyone."
Wang Yi listened, his expression growing colder. Upholding justice? Acting on behalf of justice? Who would know that such grandiose words came from a group of notorious bandits?
Niu Meng felt a fire burning in his heart. He looked at Wang Yi in shock and quickly asked, "Brother, are you alright?"
Hearing this, Wang Yi broke into a cold sweat and quickly replied, "I'm fine." He secretly rejoiced and let out a sigh of relief, cursing himself for being foolish and almost forgetting about the important matter.
"Hmph! Who are you two? I've never seen you before. And what were you just saying?" Li Yuyan looked at everyone with great pride. Her gaze suddenly landed on Wang Yi and Niu Meng. She noticed that their faces showed no admiration; instead, they spoke freely without regard for her status as a heroine upholding justice. A hint of displeasure appeared on her flushed face.
Before she could finish speaking, the once-boisterous hall fell silent. Everyone stared wide-eyed at Wang Yi and Niu Meng.
"Eh? What happened?" Wang Yi was surprised to see the sudden silence after the previous commotion.
"Hmph! You two brats stand up immediately!" Li Yuyan said, brandishing her whip arrogantly.
Seeing this, Li Kaishan felt a headache coming on. Knowing his daughter would cause a scene as usual, he hurriedly said, "Li Yuyan, they are new here and don't understand the rules. Don't take it out on them."
"Oh." Li Yuyan's eyes brightened suddenly as she looked at Wang Yi and asked, "Thief, what is your name?"
Upon seeing the Bandit, everyone secretly thought it was bad news and feared they couldn't avoid it, knowing that the eldest sister was about to play some trick again. They looked at Wang Yi, whose expression seemed to say, "Good luck to you!"
Smack!
Niu Meng was instantly furious, slamming the table and glaring at Li Yuyan, saying, "You bastard, who are you calling a thief?"
Hiss!
Before the words were out of his mouth, the room was filled with gasps. Even Li Kaishan and Zhou Chang showed expressions of surprise.
"This kid is finished."
"Indeed, he’s new here and doesn’t understand the rules!"
"Sigh, these two are probably doomed; they dared to offend the eldest sister."
"Hmph." Li Yuyan was taken aback, snorted coldly, and said arrogantly, "You thief, how dare you be so bold? I will kill you!"
Seeing this, Wang Yi felt a wave of despair and lamented inwardly. Who would have thought this woman could be so unreasonable? He quickly stood up and said, "Eldest sister, please calm down. Just now, after hearing your heroic deeds, my brothers and I couldn’t help but admire you greatly. Those corrupt officials and unscrupulous merchants are simply scum; you’ve done a great job in dealing with them. If there were more female heroes like you in the Song Dynasty, how could there be any unrest? The common people would live well!" As he spoke, Wang Yi was gesticulating passionately, as if the eldest sister were a beacon of hope, a living bodhisattva saving those in distress. His face was full of admiration, showing no signs of insincerity. However, Wang Yi secretly wiped his sweat and couldn’t help but smile bitterly; he never expected he would become one to flatter.
Hiss!
The room once again filled with gasps as some Bandits who often received special "care" from Li Yuyan revealed looks of admiration. They truly didn’t expect Wang Yi to be so eloquent and secretly cursed themselves for not thinking of it.
Li Kaishan couldn’t help but look at Wang Yi with newfound respect and no longer worried about him because he understood his precious daughter’s temperament too well.
Zhou Chang was deeply impressed; he never thought flattery could reach such heights—it was truly rare!
"Do I really have such good qualities? Hmph! Thief, are you afraid I will kill you, so you’re deliberately saying this?" Li Yuyan's angry expression suddenly turned into a smile as she gazed at Wang Yi with delight in her eyes.
"Big Sister, every word is true, and the earth can testify, the heavens can bear witness." Wang Yi's face turned red, but in order to immediately take over the matter, he said seriously. His expression and tone were so earnest that it was hard for others not to believe him, especially since Li Yuyan, this girl who had never seen much of the world, was present.
"Hmph, although I have done some good deeds for the common people, I am not as good as you. However, seeing how you admire me, I will forgive you." Li Yuyan's charming face flushed with pride as she spoke contentedly.
"Thank you, Big Sister." Wang Yi said joyfully.
"Well, from now on, you two will follow me." Li Yuyan said nonchalantly.
"Ah." Wang Yi and Niu Meng were taken aback.
"Hmph, are you unwilling?" Li Yuyan glared at them with displeasure.
Wang Yi quickly reacted and said, "No, no. We brothers are just too happy. It is our honor to serve Big Sister. However, it is truly overwhelming for us to receive such favor from Big Sister on our first trip up the mountain."
"Oh. That’s right. Others want to follow me but have no chance. However, seeing that you are honest and good, I made an exception." Li Yuyan raised her delicate chin proudly.
"Yes, yes, yes," the bandits hurriedly flattered her upon hearing this.
"Wang Yi brother, since Big Sister values you so much, you should follow her."
"Yes! Big Sister's martial arts are unparalleled and hard to find a match for; she is truly a rare master!"
"That's right! Wang Yi brother, you have a heart to help the world; it just so happens that Big Sister is also compassionate like a Bodhisattva. You should assist her well."
"Big Sister, we brothers are following Big Boss; you see..." Wang Yi was truly speechless and cursed the bandits in his heart; weren't they pushing him into a fire pit? How could he seek revenge for his Uncles like this?
"I see." Li Yuyan nodded and asked, "Father, do you agree to let them follow me?"
Upon hearing this, Li Kaishan waved his hand with a bitter smile and said, "Is this matter decided by my daughter?"
"Alright, now you belong to me. From now on, if anyone dares to bully you, just come to me, and I'll take care of it for you." Li Yuyan said confidently, her bright eyes making the bandits avoid her.
"Greetings, Big Sister." Wang Yi and Niu Meng sighed; this was a witch! With this witch by their side, overturning the plans of Heimu Mountain would not be easy.
"Now you can tell me your names," Li Yuyan said, her eyes filled with pride. "Big Guy, what is your name?"
"Niu Meng!"
"Wang Yi!"
"Good. Although your strength is lacking, you can rest assured that with me around, no one within a hundred miles will dare to harm you," Li Yuyan declared.
Wang Yi and Niu Meng exchanged glances, speechless; this Li Yuyan was truly young and naive.
"What? You don't believe me?" Li Yuyan noticed the lack of joy on Wang Yi's face and felt greatly provoked by their reaction. She said unhappily, "Ask them if I am not their match!"
"No, no! Big Sister's martial arts are unparalleled; we can only look up to her," the bandits immediately chimed in as if they had practiced it beforehand.
"Did you hear that?" Li Yuyan shot an unhappy glare at Wang Yi and Niu Meng.
