Chapter Four: The Female Knight's Strangeness
"Sit down." Bai Yuhua glanced at Li Shenzhao and said to the waiter beside her, "Waiter, bring another set of bowls
and chopsticks."
"Thank you, Madam." Li Shenzhao bowed respectfully before sitting down.
Situ Xue and Zhuo Tong sat to Bai Yuhua's left and right, respectively, while Li Shenzhao sat directly opposite her.
Li Shenzhao was well aware of his status, so he sat at the table with impeccable manners, his eyes fixed straight ahead,
behaving with utmost propriety. Although, in his heart, he really wanted to see Bai Yuhua.
A beautiful woman, especially a charming and alluring one, was very tempting to a young man like Li Shenzhao
.
"Your name is Li Shenzhao, right?" Situ Xue, having eaten a few bites of food, perhaps out of boredom, asked Li Shenzhao beside her
.
Situ Xue was bright and charming. Upon seeing her, Li Shenzhao blushed slightly and quickly clasped his hands in greeting, saying, "Yes,
my name is Li Shenzhao."
"That's a strange name! Is there a reason for it? My mother said that everyone's name has a certain meaning
." Situ Xue stared at Li Shenzhao with her big eyes, her innocent curiosity as a young girl fully revealed.
"I had difficulty conceiving when I was little, so my father changed my name to Shenzhao, hoping that the gods would bless me to grow up safely
."
"Oh, how interesting." Situ Xue then fell silent, seemingly losing interest. Although Li Shenzhao
wanted Situ Xue to chat with him longer, seeing her lack of interest, he didn't try to find another topic.
...
Then Situ Xue focused on eating. With the usually talkative Situ Xue silent, the table became quiet
. At this moment, Zhuo Tong suddenly asked, "Master's wife, you were struck by the Heavenly Demon's palm, are you alright now?"
"I already used my internal energy to heal myself on the way here, and I'm fine now."
Situ Xue was startled upon hearing this and asked, "Mother, are you injured? Why didn't Father tell me?"
"Xue'er, didn't I say I already used my internal energy to heal myself, and I'm fine now? Your father is the sect leader, how could he
have time to care about such trivial matters?" Although she said that, Li Shenzhao detected a hint of
resentment in the words of this elegant and beautiful woman.
At the same time, he sensed a surge of excitement from Zhuo Tong beside him
. Li Shenzhao felt something and looked at him, only to find that the other was drinking ginger soup, and there was nothing wrong with it. Li Shenzhao almost thought it was his imagination.
"Strange, what is Zhuo Tong so excited about?" Zhuo Tong, the fourth disciple of the Taibai Sect, was an orphan who
had been adopted by Situ Tianfeng since he was a child.
He appeared to be a very ordinary and unassuming person, usually quiet and reserved.
Perhaps because of what she had just said, Bai Yuhua was somewhat displeased and poured herself a
glass of wine. After a sip, a few blushes appeared on her jade-like face, making her incredibly alluring, her eyes
sparkling with captivating charm.
Even a fleeting glance was enough to make Li Shenzhao's heart pound. Because of his
social status, he couldn't often interact with the ladies of his household; Bai Yuhua was, in a sense,
one of the most beautiful women he had ever encountered.
Zhuo Tong said, "Master's wife, you don't drink, drink less."
Li Shenzhao was puzzled again. Logically, Zhuo Tong was Bai Yuhua's disciple, a junior
; what his elders did was none of his business. And judging from his tone, it seemed a little…
Thinking this, Li Shenzhao stole a glance at Zhuo Tong and noticed that he reluctantly withdrew his gaze from the beautiful woman
, a lingering heat in his eyes. Li Shenzhao felt something was amiss, but he couldn't quite put his finger on it.
"It's nothing," Bai Yuhua said, her eyes slightly glazed with drunkenness, her tongue slurring. Suddenly, she accidentally knocked her
chopsticks off the table. Li Shenzhao and Zhuo Tong, seeing this, bent down almost simultaneously to pick them up for Bai Yuhua.
Li Shenzhao smiled slightly at Zhuo Tong and said, "Master Zhuo, let me do this."
Zhuo Tong replied, "Alright, thank you for your trouble, young brother."
As for Bai Yuhua, with her own chopsticks on the ground, she naturally bent down to pick them up. Almost at the same time,
she and Li Shenzhao acted simultaneously. Clearly, neither of them expected it, and as if by some strange twist of fate, their hands touched.
Although it was only a fleeting touch, the snow-white and delicate hand of the other party still stirred Li Shenzhao's heart.
He couldn't help but look at Bai Yuhua: "So tender, so white." Her hand, under the dim light of the table, was
like a piece of white jade, radiating a dazzling, pure light.
The man's hands were somewhat rough, but warm; touching them sent a strange sensation through her.
Although people of the martial world were known for their unconventional behavior, from childhood to adulthood, besides her husband, she had never been
so intimate with a woman. Bai Yuhua's face flushed involuntarily, and she glanced at Li Shenzhao.
She found the young man quite handsome, with a sharply defined face, striking eyebrows, bright eyes, and a high nose.
His eyes, in particular, always held a mysterious gleam when he looked at someone. He was tall and strong,
far superior to those weak and unassuming scholars.
"Madam, your chopsticks..." He picked up the chopsticks from the ground and handed them to Bai Yuhua.
"Thank you." Bai Yuhua found herself inexplicably stirred by a strange, fleeting thought,
feeling a little weak. She quickly looked away.
Just then, the sound of horses' hooves approached again. The innkeeper, hearing that guests had arrived, hurriedly went out to greet
them: "Come, gentlemen, the horses are fine with me, please come in."
"Yes, waiter, this is a reward for you," a rough, hearty male voice rang out.
Immediately afterward, three burly men carrying knives entered the inn. The leader was a
man who seemed very strange to Li Shenzhao. He wore a simple blue cloth robe, and his appearance was quite ordinary. For martial artists, his height and physique were
not outstanding. If it weren't for the knife tucked into its crocodile sheath at his waist, you might mistake him for a peasant visiting the city.
But this man possessed a powerful aura, like towering mountains, vast and solemn, unshakeable
. Behind this man were two young men.
One had thick eyebrows and large eyes, a broad and stout build, a sturdy physique like an iron tower, and was over 1.9 meters tall.
The other man was gentle and refined, with a clean-cut face and handsome features. Dressed in a blue robe, he
gave off a striking impression.
Upon seeing the man, Situ Tianfeng immediately rose and greeted him with clasped hands, "Great Hero Xu, what brings you here
?"
The man returned the greeting, saying, "Brother Situ, you're here too." From their conversation,
Li Shenzhao learned that this unassuming man was none other than Xu Ziyu, a renowned hero of the Jiangnan martial arts world
.
Xu Ziyu, known in the martial arts world as the Hundred-Battle Saber King, was a figure of immense influence in Jiangnan. Legend has it that he
lost both parents at a young age and lived a life of hardship, relying on the charity of others. At eighteen, his life remained unremarkable.
One day, while fishing at sea, his boat capsized due to a storm. What followed was
like many legendary heroes in biographies.
Xu Ziyu miraculously survived and arrived at an ancient cave in the sea where a previous cultivator had practiced, where he experienced
a fortuitous encounter that every martial artist dreamed of. After entering the martial world, wielding a cold iron blade, he roamed freely, rarely encountering an opponent.
The Old Man of Qiankun once said that in the past hundred years, the greatest achiever in the art of the sword was none other than Xu Ziyu.
The two young men behind him were Xu Ziyu's disciples; the towering giant was named Tie Zhan, and the refined
young man was named Huo Renjie, rumored to be the son of a prince.
"By the way, Master Xu, did you catch the Heavenly Demon after your southward pursuit?"
"No, we traveled south for nearly a hundred miles without finding any trace of the demon."
"My wife and I traveled westward as well, but we didn't find any trace of the Heavenly Demon either. Master Xu,
where do you think this old demon might have gone?" Although Situ Tianfeng was the head of the Taibai Sect, considered a leader of a sect, he
always felt inferior to Xu Ziyu, who was hailed as the number one martial artist in Jiangnan. Therefore, the usually aloof Situ Tianfeng
spoke with much more politeness.
Xu Ziyu picked up his wine cup, took a sip of liquor, and slowly said, "Perhaps we've fallen into the Heavenly Demon King's trap
."
Situ Tianfeng was startled upon hearing this and asked in surprise, "Master Xu, you mean...?"
"We'll have to wait for the eastern and northern routes to return to determine this. If they haven't encountered the Heavenly Demon King on the road
, I think they'll return and join us within the next day or two at the latest."
...
"Waiter, bring the wine and dishes. Come, Brother Huo, Brother Tie, please sit down." On the other side, Nangong Shaoxiong warmly
greeted Huo Renjie and Tie Zhan. His enthusiastic and polite manner immediately gave people a good impression.
"Brother Nangong, you're too kind."
Xie Changfeng still maintained his proud and aloof demeanor. After briefly greeting the two disciples of the Sword King,
he turned and went to Situ Xue's side. Li Shenzhao initially thought that Xie Changfeng was just a
spoiled brat who relied on his family's influence, was ignorant, arrogant, and conceited.
However, Li Shenzhao inadvertently noticed that while Xie Changfeng was joking with Situ Xue, he was also subtly observing
everyone in the inn. Li Shenzhao was certain that Xie Changfeng had noticed every action and gesture of everyone in the inn.
Seeing this, Li Shenzhao was startled. Looking at Xie Changfeng, who was trying to please Situ Xue, he felt a chill run down his spine and
thought, "It seems the martial world isn't as simple as he thinks."
As dusk fell, the two groups of people from the northeast who were pursuing the Heavenly Evil King also arrived at the inn. Just as Xu Ziyu
had analyzed, these two groups had chased the Heavenly Evil King for hundreds of miles without finding any trace of him and
had come to meet in this small town.
They analyzed the situation all night but still couldn't find any clues about the Heavenly Evil King.
... After helping Nangong Shaoxiong rest, Li Shenzhao was about to return to his room when
he
suddenly heard a soft
sigh. Li Shenzhao looked up at the sound and saw a
beautiful woman , graceful and charming, standing in the courtyard of the inn .
The bright moon hung high in the sky, like a white jade plate inlaid in the air, its snow-white light radiating a soft and holy glow.
The earth seemed veiled in a light gauze. The peach tree in the courtyard, about two people tall, was in full bloom,
its blossoms vibrant and fragrant, a gentle breeze carrying its delicate scent. All of this, combined with the captivating beauty,
was perfect.
Under the moonlight, Bai Yuhua wore a flowing robe, her long black hair styled in a bun at the back of her head,
adorned only with a jade hairpin. Her face was like the autumn moon, her features less striking than during the day, and more
gentle and feminine. The moonlight bathed her, as if draping her in a holy glow. Her shapely, chiseled
shoulders and slender figure were incredibly alluring.
The beautiful woman under the moonlight was as radiant as ever, yet she appeared somewhat different from during the day.
"Who?" The moment Li Shenzhao moved, Bai Yuhua raised an eyebrow, and a peach branch flashed through the air,
already pressed against Li Shenzhao's throat. Although Bai Yuhua rarely appeared in the martial world after marrying Situ Tianfeng,
the vigilance she possessed in her youth remained, especially in this highly sensitive time. The reason Tianxie Wang was able to repeatedly escape the encirclements of the righteous path
was not only due to his unparalleled martial arts but also his exquisite disguise skills. He could
transform into anyone, anytime, anywhere.
At this time, in this inn teeming with masters, even with Bai Yuhua's superior swordsmanship, he
dared not relax his guard in the slightest.
"Lady Bai, it's me." Having been from the Nangong family, Li Shenzhao had seen many masters. However,
he secretly admired Bai Yuhua's skills. He had only moved slightly, and Bai Yuhua had already drawn her sword. That speed and control of power
had reached a very refined level. The three great sword sects of the Northeast truly lived up to their reputation.
Bai Yuhua looked Li Shenzhao up and down and asked, "It's so late, why aren't you resting yet?"
Li Shenzhao bowed slightly and said, "I just finished serving my young master and was about to rest."
Bai Yuhua said "Oh," and put away the peach branch in her hand, saying, "The Heavenly Evil King is extremely cunning and his whereabouts are unpredictable.
During this time, if you don't have anything to do, don't wander around."
Upon hearing this, Li Shenzhao felt a warmth in his heart and was deeply moved. In the Nangong family, he was just a servant, of
lowly status, and no one cared about his life or death. In the vast world of martial arts, he was more like an ant, insignificant compared to those in power.
The high and mighty heroes wouldn't care about the life or death of someone as insignificant as him. But Bai Yuhua was
different. Of course, Bai Yuhua's concern for him might have been unintentional or casual, but in Li Shenzhao's heart,
it was different.
"I know." Looking at Bai Yuhua, Li Shenzhao sensed that she had something on her mind. After hesitating for a moment, he said,
"Miss Bai, it's so late, why aren't you resting yet?"
"I can't sleep." As soon as the words left her mouth, Bai Yuhua felt it was inappropriate. "Can't sleep" was a very personal
matter, and it seemed inappropriate for someone of his status to say such a thing. She immediately changed the subject, saying, "I heard from Xue'er that you are Nangong
Shaoxiong's page, and have been by his side for several years?"
"Yes." Li Shenzhao said, "I've been by the young master's side since I was a child." Saying this, he glanced at Bai
Yuhua, seemingly mustering all his courage, and said, "Miss Bai, please forgive my intrusion, is there something you need
?"
