Tender-hearted chivalry

The Qinling Mountains, with their ancient trees reaching for the sky and stretching for thousands of miles, mirror-like lakes, cascading waterfalls, and countless strange peaks and rocks, have been a place steeped in mythology since ancient times. Especially its highest peak, Mount Taibai, soars into the heavens, a fairyland that captivates visitors and exudes an air of mystery.
Haunted by clouds and mist, the seven peaks appear and disappear, occasionally revealing only a glimpse of their icy slopes, seemingly floating above a sea of clouds. Ancient trees, both known and unknown, cover the mountains, their massive canopies so dense that the murmuring rivers below are almost invisible. Occasionally, the cries of monkeys and cranes echo, creating an atmosphere of celestial paradise.
Suddenly, a flash of seven-colored light appears, the clouds slowly dissipate, revealing the full view of the mountains. A winding path leads to the summit, nestled among green pines and bamboo. At the top, several fields are faintly visible, planted with unidentified plants, and beside them stand a dozen or so green bamboo houses.
An old man sat in front of a bamboo hut, leisurely sipping fragrant tea, watching a seventeen or eighteen-year-old boy gracefully wielding a sword. He nodded occasionally, a pleased smile on his face. The boy wore a long black robe, his long hair tied in a bun and flowing down his back. He had sword-like eyebrows, bright eyes, and a straight nose. His brows were solemn, and his fair skin exuded an imposing aura of heroism.
After a long while, the young man gave a soft shout, a surge of energy emanating from his body, accompanied by a series of cracking sounds. He leaped two zhang (approximately 6.6 meters) into the air, the sword flashing as it was drawn back. He held the sword to his chest, his middle and index fingers resting on the blade, and thrust it forward with a sharp clang. An invisible wave of energy erupted from the tip of the sword, and after a rustling sound, more than a dozen bamboo stalks fell to the ground in the bamboo forest ten meters away… “Master, how was your sword practice?” the young man asked respectfully, standing before the old man, his face full of joy.
"Not bad, much better than your master back then." The old man put down his teacup and nodded, a hint of reluctance showing between his brows. "Feng'er, you have been with your master in the mountains for fifteen years. Alas! You have grown up, it is time for you to come down the mountain." "What, Master, you, you want to send me away? Has Feng'er done something wrong?" the young man said hurriedly, a hint of fear appearing in his starry eyes.
"Sigh, Master means you've really grown up now. It's time to go down the mountain and see the world below. How could I bear to let you stay on this mountain your whole life? As the saying goes, a good man's ambition lies in all directions. You should go out and see the world." "No, Master, I just want to stay on this mountain, I just want to stay by your side and serve you well for the rest of my life!" "Silly child, you're already eighteen, and you still have such a childish temper. Do you really want to stay by my side forever and never get married and have children? You're such a child!" "What's the point of getting married? Is it more interesting than practicing martial arts?" "Hmm, I don't know how to explain this. You'll understand as you grow older. When you turned eighteen, I cast a divination for you. Your life will be spent between a cursed star and a lonely star, but there is a slight connection with the Red Phoenix Star..." "The light flickers, unpredictable and elusive. Perhaps it's destiny that you'll meet a woman who can help you through difficulties, but the situation is bleak. As the saying goes, heavenly secrets cannot be revealed; fate has its own design, and there's no need to force it. I hope you can stay true to yourself and not harm yourself or others." "Master, what you say is so profound. I don't quite understand. Must I go to the mortal world to experience life?
Master, I'll miss you terribly!" "All good things must come to an end. Everyone eventually finds their place. I know you're naturally kind, which isn't wrong in itself. But in the world of martial arts, one is often not in control of one's own destiny. As you delve deeper into the world, you'll encounter all sorts of people, good and bad. But remember my words: even if someone wrongs us, don't only remember their evil deeds, understand?" "Master, I understand. Although..." "I don't understand some things, but I'll remember everything Master says, so please don't worry. Also, there's something I've been keeping to myself and want to ask Master." "Go ahead, I'll answer whatever I know." "Master, am I really an orphan? Do I have parents? Who are they? Were they killed? Or did they abandon me? For years, I've had the same dream. The scene is stained with blood, filled with the sounds of killing, screaming, and the crying of babies. Where is that place in my dream? I try so hard to see it clearly, but I can't. I don't know why, but when I see that place, I feel a strange sadness, and I feel like tears are about to spill from my eyes. Master, what's wrong with me? Every time I ask this question, you avoid me." "Disciple wants to understand before descending the mountain, please, Master." "It's not that I don't want to tell you, it's just that you haven't reached the age to know yet. When the time comes, you will naturally understand. Don't force it. Don't let this question become an obstacle, affecting your hard-won cultivation. I have imparted all my knowledge to you in my life, and your future achievements will surely be limitless. I hope you will guard your true heart and not fall into the mortal world and be unable to extricate yourself. Also, as for your background, if..." The old man's eyes dimmed as he said this, "I would rather you never know for the rest of your life. Some memories are cruel to you, so choose to forget them..." "Master... Master..." ... "Master, take care!" Li Feng knelt at the foot of the mountain, kowtowed three times to the blessed land of immortals in the clouds, and reluctantly walked towards the distant path.
"Experience? What is experience? What should I do now? Should I listen to Master and go to Chang'an?" Li Feng thought to himself as he hurried forward using his lightness skill. He needed to reach the town ahead before dark. Although there were several fine horses on the mountain, using light-footed skills to travel was also a way to practice martial arts. It allowed him to dissipate the stagnant true energy within his body and absorb the surrounding air to convert it into new true energy to replenish his body. He would consider this his first training session after descending the mountain.
Just as he was pondering this, he suddenly heard the sounds of killing nearby. His heart skipped a beat, and he leaped towards the sounds, passing through the bustling woods. Suddenly, he saw flashing blades ahead. Nine masked assassins in black were chasing a woman dressed in white. The woman's face was deathly pale, and her hand gripping the soft sword was bleeding slightly as she struggled to stay upright… Li Feng was stunned. Although he lived deep in the mountains, he wasn't stupid. He occasionally went down the mountain behind his master's back and wasn't unfamiliar with women. However, now he was puzzled. Was this a woman from the mortal world? Why did she appear like a fairy descended from heaven?
A delicate white fan and a white orchid, a slender waist adorned with a jade belt, a celestial veil fluttering in the air—she seemed like a fairy descended from heaven, her smile more radiant than the stars. A poem involuntarily surfaced in Li Feng's mind. If the sword in the white-clad woman's hand were replaced with a nine-fold fan, it would be perfectly fitting. He finally understood why the ancients often used "eyebrows and eyes like a painting" to describe beautiful women. Indeed, where could one find such a woman outside of paintings? Like a delicate water lily, her slightly furrowed brows held a faint sadness and loneliness that instantly evoked pity and tenderness.
"Lu Xueqi, if you know what's good for you, hand over your sword technique, and we'll spare your life. Otherwise, don't blame our brothers for being ruthless!" the leader of the men in black shouted fiercely.
"Oh, so her name is Lu Xueqi, what a beautiful name." Just as he was about to help, he suddenly remembered what his master had said, "The martial world is dangerous, especially for women. The more beautiful a woman is, the more wary they become. This is what they mean by a femme fatale." "Alright, then I'll wait a bit." Li Feng nodded, thinking to himself, "Anyway, there's no great danger right now. It'll be good to observe their martial arts style." The woman in white, upon hearing the shout, remained unfazed. Although she was already at her limit and outnumbered, and seemed to have suffered considerable injuries, she remained resolute. "The Lu Family Sword is the ancestral sword of our Lu Family Village. We, the descendants of the Lu Family Village, cherish it as if it were our own life. Even if I die today, I will not hand it over to you. If you have the ability, then kill me!" Lu Xueqi's voice was somewhat weak, but even so, her slightly resolute whimper was like celestial music. It was truly unbelievable how these nine people could harbor any murderous intent towards such a woman.
Lu Xueqi raised her soft sword and swung it downwards, unleashing an invisible sword aura that shot out, forming a long line on the ground. The man in black, seeing this, dared not easily intercept it. "Break!" Nine people unleashed their power from different directions, the nine forces striking the sword aura. The two forces intertwined and clashed, consuming each other. The invisible sword aura and the nine forces burst into huge sparks, and with a loud bang, a deep crater formed in the ground… "Truly worthy of being a descendant of the Heavenly Sword Elder, to be able to unleash such powerful sword aura under these circumstances, you really cannot be underestimated," the man in black sneered.
"Enough talk, take this!" Lu Xueqi shouted, wielding her soft sword and swiftly advancing, locking onto the weakest of the black-clad men. From their encounters over the past few days, she knew that while these nine individuals weren't particularly strong individually, their combined power would multiply exponentially, becoming unbelievable.
At this moment, Li Feng stood atop a densely leafed tree, his true energy concealed. Because his own skill far surpassed theirs, he wasn't worried about being discovered. He had originally intended to rush forward to rescue the woman in purple, but upon witnessing this astonishing swordsmanship, he changed his mind. He hadn't expected to encounter such a duel on his way to Chang'an.
Such miraculous swordsmanship ignited his martial arts passion like boiling water. With his keen eyesight, he could naturally see that the Lu Family Sword technique emphasized sword intent. The stronger the sword intent, the greater the power of the swordsmanship. Moreover, the more one was at a disadvantage, the more determined one's will was, the more one could unleash the essence of the swordsmanship. This was truly a swordsmanship that grew stronger against stronger opponents. He wondered what an amazing and brilliant sage the predecessor who created this swordsmanship must have been. If he could witness its splendor, he would have no regrets in this life.
Chapter Two, The Siege
At this moment, Lu Xueqi drew her sword back, spun her arm twice, then stretched it outwards. Simultaneously, she braced herself with her left foot and swept her right foot, using the momentum to seemingly transform the single sword in her hand into countless others, closing in on the men in black. This sudden turn of events caught the nine men off guard; each suffered a deep cut on their arm, blood seeping out. The nine men were stunned, never expecting to be injured by Lu Xueqi's sword. If Lu Xueqi had been unharmed, perhaps next time the injury wouldn't just be to their arms.
"No, we can't let her continue to use it as she pleases, or we'll be in trouble. We have to finish this quickly!" The leader of the men in black said, "You brat, we really can't underestimate you. For the Lu family sword technique, don't blame us for using any means necessary." As soon as the man in black finished speaking, the three men in black behind Lu Xueqi rushed forward, making Li Feng's heart tighten. However, Lu Xueqi was no pushover either. She used her feet to perform the Nine Palaces Technique, spinning and dancing, and with a few clanging sounds, she repelled the three men.
"Be careful." Before Li Feng could finish speaking, the leader of the men in black released a cloud of pink mist from his hands, enveloping Lu Xueqi in it. At the same time, he rushed forward, his hands forming tiger claws as he grabbed forward.
"The Breast-Grabbing Dragon Claw Hand! It's actually the legendary Breast-Grabbing Dragon Claw Hand!" Li Feng's body, which was about to fly out, stopped abruptly in mid-air. His heart pounded. He never expected to see this extraordinary skill today, this evil technique that even his righteous master longed for.
Before she could finish her thought, the black-clad man's large, hairy hands had already grabbed Lu Xueqi's chest, tightly squeezing her trembling, full breasts. An unprecedented stillness descended upon the scene. The girl, who had moved like a fairy in the wind, stood there dumbfounded, sword in hand, her beautiful eyes fixed on the hands gripping her chest… “Ah… you lecherous thief, I'll kill you!” Lu Xueqi felt both ashamed and humiliated. She was a woman of the martial world, and while she sometimes had physical contact with heroes during sparring, she had never suffered such humiliation. Her pure and innocent body had been… She had thought that the “Whirlwind” technique of the Lu family sword would scare them away, but instead, it had aroused their wicked desires.
Thinking of the pink mist from earlier, even though she had held her breath, she still inhaled some, causing her body to go limp and fall for this lecherous thief's trick. But at this point, if she didn't fight back, she would surely die. Although she was both ashamed and angry, she calmed herself down, secretly cheered herself up, and with a nimble movement of her right hand, the sword in her hand flew in front of her, the blade humming as it slashed towards the hairy wrist in front of her chest.
With a ripping sound, the leader of the men in black retreated, holding two pieces of white cloth in his hand. He brought them to his nose, sniffed them, and chuckled lewdly, "As expected of Fairy Xuewu, even her sweat is so fragrant and alluring. Ah, to be able to touch the fairy's breasts today, even if I were to die now, it wouldn't be a wasted life." "You, ah... lecherous thief, you..." Lu Xueqi heard the lewd laughter around her and looked at the lustful eyes of the men in front of her. She lowered her head slightly and realized that her clothes were torn at the chest, revealing two large holes in her snow-white clothes. Only a white silk bodice remained, covering her breasts, which trembled and bounced in the dappled sunlight in the forest.
Although Lu Xueqi's hand quickly covered her chest, Li Feng's eyes were sharp enough to see every detail of her large, white breasts and pale pink nipples peeking out from under her barely visible white bodice. Li Feng swallowed hard. His sense of justice and morality told him to act now, but a wicked desire controlled his body, his eyes fixed on the glimpse of skin peeking through her small hand.
As a leaf fell to the ground, both moved simultaneously. Lu Xueqi gritted her teeth, her face flushed, one hand covering her chest, the other holding a sword, and charged towards the man in black with lightning speed. To outsiders, it wasn't a sword and a man, but simply a sword, a gleaming, precious sword.
Meanwhile, the other side seemed to have finally prepared. The nine people merged into one, and the two sides collided simply like that. A flash of white light appeared, and at the same time, several dark figures emerged. As the white light flashed, Lu Xueqi
's sword pierced one of the men in black, but the man in black held the sword tightly, and Lu Xueqi could not break free. The several dark figures seized the opportunity, each taking out a silver-white rope, which instantly wrapped around Lu Xueqi's wrists and ankles. Normally, these ropes would not have been a problem for her, but after a long struggle, coupled with the invasion of the unknown pink mist, Lu Xueqi's body became weak and powerless. With a soft moan, she faced the ground and was stretched out in the air by the four men in a spread-eagle position.
Lu's two snow-white, smooth breasts, bound by a silk bodice, hung in mid-air like a pendulum, swaying back and forth. Her long legs were spread wide in an extremely shameful posture, her slender waist and pert buttocks exuding a holy lewdness... "Let me go, sob sob... You bastards, lecherous thieves, let me go, swordsmanship, I... I'll give it to you." After all, she was a girl. Perhaps she wasn't afraid of death, but facing eight or nine burly men with lewd expressions, she was frightened and began to sob.
"Hehe, swordsmanship? Once we've captured you, the swordsmanship will naturally follow. You slut, you really won't listen to reason, you'll only get what you deserve. You've injured so many of my brothers, how can we let you go so easily today? Snow Dance Fairy, haha... So many people in the martial world are drooling over you, but today it's our brothers who benefit." The leader of the men in black laughed as he walked up to Lu Xueqi. His hairy hands reached into Lu Xueqi's bosom and rummaged around for a while, it was unclear whether he was searching for something or just teasing her. In no time, he had teased this innocent beauty until she was panting and her pretty face was flushed.
"Haha, it really is the Lu family sword! We, the Nine Wolves of the Northern Underworld, finally have our day! Haha..." The leader of the men in black held an ancient book in one hand and laughed loudly, while his other hand reached into Lu Xueqi's bodice and squeezed her full right breast forcefully.
Watching the breasts, which shifted like dough in the hairy hands of the men in black, Li Feng, hiding in the distance, suddenly felt his breathing quicken. He felt his heart in turmoil in front of this woman, a major taboo for martial artists. "What should I do? Just leave? Let this fairy-like girl be violated by these nine men? Or... save her? But for some reason, I feel that this woman is the obstacle in my life. If I have any interaction with her, will I fall into the Red Phoenix Star Tribulation as my master said...?" "Ah...it hurts...you bad guys...ah...lecherous thieves, waah...you've already got the sword manual, let me go, or kill me, waah...you will be despised by all martial artists for doing this. If word gets out, no matter how big the world is, you will have no place to stand." Lu Xueqi cried. The shout startled Li Feng from his reverie. The leader of the men in black was already behind her, grabbing Lu Xueqi's underpants and ripping them off. He quickly pulled out his grotesque, veined member, resembling the gnarled roots of an old tree. "Once we brothers have had our fill, we'll send you to the underworld. Who will know it was us brothers who did this? Hahaha..." "No... Ah... No..." Li Feng stared at the beautiful woman, her face streaked with tears, the purplish handprints on her trembling breasts, the glimpses of white skin peeking through the cracks in her buttocks, and the grotesque member thrusting towards her secret place... He could no longer bear it. If he could watch such a woman suffer such humiliation before his eyes, and he had the ability to do nothing to help her, it would become a demon in his heart, even an obsession that would shackle his martial arts.
"Stop!" Li Feng shouted, transforming into a blur like a dragon as he charged towards the black-clad leader, who was leering and advancing towards Lu Xueqi's private parts. He was too fast; before his voice even reached the scene, he was already standing before the leader. The leader, still unaware, continued to force open Lu Xueqi's snow-white labia with his egg-sized penis, swirling and thrusting inward.
Seeing that his penis was already halfway in, Li Feng had no time to admire the beauty of the paradise. He kicked the black-clad man in the chest, simultaneously multiplying into eight, striking the remaining eight men almost simultaneously. They were sent flying dozens of steps backward, a sweet taste in their mouths followed by the spitting out of blood—clearly suffering severe internal injuries. They never expected there to be another person here, and they hadn't noticed until now. What level of cultivation did this person possess?
They had assumed the person who arrived was a powerful and unfathomable master, and were just wondering how to escape when they looked up to find a young boy standing before them. Their shock intensified.
Li Feng, however, had no time to worry about them. He leaped forward and caught the girl who had nearly fallen to the ground in his arms. Looking at her so closely, his heart suddenly pounded. Even a fairy descended from heaven couldn't compare. Her delicate, arched eyebrows, her shy yet angry, expressive eyes, her flushed cheeks, her frail, sickly appearance, her tear-filled eyes, her soft breaths—she was like a willow swaying in the breeze, like Xi Shi clutching her heart. How could these nine men have been so cruel to such a woman?
Chapter 3, Rescuing a Person
"Let me go, you lecher! Ah!" This stubborn woman used a move she shouldn't be able to use now. Despite her severe internal injuries, she still held on, looking at Li Feng. Suddenly, she unleashed a palm strike, hitting Li Feng's chest, but it felt like hitting an invisible wall. A powerful reflective force caused her already pale face to drain of color. She coughed up a mouthful of blood and fainted.
Li Feng was completely bewildered. How could he have saved someone only to be struck by her...? Coming to his senses, he suddenly gave a bitter laugh. In his haste to save her, he hadn't noticed that his left hand was pressing on the girl's bruised breast, while his other hand was supporting her buttocks. The soft, smooth, full, and warm touch made him want to squeeze it a few more times.
Since that's the case, there's no other way but to save her completely. He gently helped Lu Xueqi up, checked her pulse, and found that her internal injuries were quite serious. She needed immediate treatment. He helped her sit up, raised his right palm, and slowly placed it on Lu Xueqi's back. A powerful surge of internal energy flowed into her body, guiding the chaotic true energy back to its original position under the guidance of Li Feng's internal energy.
Everything was completed in an instant. At this moment, the nine men, each clutching their chests, stood up shakily. The leader of the men in black was terrified, but still feigned composure and said, "Who are you, sir? Why are you meddling in our affairs?" "What I see is not meddling, but you ganging up on us. You not only wanted to kill this Miss Lu, but also forcibly took her family's sword technique. That's one thing—possessing a treasure is a crime, I can understand—but you also wanted to rape her. This is utterly shameless. Although I was just passing by, I couldn't stand by and watch her die," Li Feng said calmly as he put Lu Xueqi down.
"If this gets out and the martial arts world finds out, the consequences will be unimaginable. I refuse to believe that the combined strength of the nine of us can't deal with this brat." "That's right, fighting doesn't guarantee death, but not fighting means certain death. Everyone, attack!" These men in black gathered their energy, raised their swords, and the nine of them united as one, seemingly about to unleash the so-called Nine Sons in a Row technique. Li Feng stood calmly, watching the nine men form a formation and charge towards him. He raised his left hand, bent his five fingers, and with a flick of his wrist, the weapons of the nine men flew out of his hand. Li Feng gripped the seized weapons in his left hand, tightened his grip, and the weapons shattered like broken ice.
This was the secret martial art circulating in the martial arts world—the Dragon-Capturing Skill. The palm strike just now was another secret martial art—the Crane-Controlling Skill. The Dragon-Capturing Skill, when mastered to a high level, allows one to seize objects from a distance and use others' weapons for one's own purposes. The martial art that can shatter weapons is also the Dragon-Capturing Claw from the Dragon-Capturing Skill, which is indestructible. The Crane Control Skill, when mastered to a high level, allows one to strike enemies from afar, even across mountains. While "a thousand miles" might be an exaggeration, its power is astonishing. A direct hit leaves a hidden force within the enemy's body, which, if not cleared promptly, can cause incurable internal injuries.
The Crane Control Skill was then unleashed from the right hand, the force emitting a dragon-like roar as it hurtled towards the group. What seemed like a simple palm strike contained immense power, making it impossible to dodge. The nine men had no choice but to gather all their strength to resist the terrifying palm force. The two forces collided, further exacerbating their already injured state. Several ribs were broken, and blood flowed continuously from their mouths.
"I won't kill anyone. You can leave," Li Feng said calmly, standing against the wind.
"Your martial arts are exceptional. Even the nine of us combined can't defeat you. Why don't you kill us? Aren't you afraid we'll recover and seek revenge?" the man in black whispered.
"I've already said, I don't have the ability to kill. My martial arts are only for saving people. If you want revenge, I'm ready anytime. I'll say it again, you can leave! Also, hand over the two manuals you have on you." The men in black were used to living a life of constant danger. They had killed so many people to make a living and never thought about what kind of good end they would get. Maybe they would die mysteriously one day and it wouldn't matter. But they never expected to encounter such a person today, a person who was hard to understand.
"What is your esteemed name?" "I never change my name, I am Li Feng!" "I'll remember that... Let's go!" A hint of dejection lingered in the black-clad leader's voice. He thought of how his decades of martial arts training were no match for an eighteen or nineteen-year-old boy, and how this man who could have killed them had spared them. He placed the two manuals he was carrying on the ground and led the remaining eight men, staggering away into the distance... Three hours passed, and darkness fell. Li Feng lit a campfire, on which sat a pheasant. The oozing fat glittered in the firelight, emitting a fragrant aroma. Such a dish... He practiced the movements countless times, becoming incredibly proficient. This scene reminded him of the days he spent with his master. Though simple, they were warm and fulfilling. During those days, he didn't have to think about anything, because he had martial arts to practice, and his master's scolding and guidance. For him, that was enough. He thought he would live like this forever, but unexpectedly… "History, Chang'an, the martial arts world…" Li Feng murmured to himself. One thing after another awaited his exploration and resolution, but he suddenly felt somewhat lost. Deep down, perhaps what he truly longed for was to stay with his master, laughing and carefree in the mountains.
"So fragrant… so fragrant…" A soft voice came from behind. It was Lu Xueqi, who had just woken up from her coma. Perhaps it was because of the days of fleeing for her life that she hadn't had a proper meal, especially after being seriously injured. Under the influence of such delicious food, she couldn't help but exclaim.
"You're awake!" Li Feng smiled.
Lu Xueqi slowly opened her eyes. A roaring campfire greeted her, and a turkey, its aroma irresistible, sat atop it. She involuntarily swallowed.
"You were seriously injured and are weak. This turkey is freshly roasted; you should eat it first," Li Feng said, tearing off the turkey's left leg, gently blowing on it, and offering it to her.
Lu Xueqi's gaze shifted, and she saw Li Feng, the one who had spoken. Before her appeared a handsome, lean face, with sword-like eyebrows, sharp, piercing eyes, and a striking, elegant appearance—a truly rare beauty. Seeing him looking at her, her heart tightened, and she avoided his gaze.
"Did you save me yesterday?" Lu Xueqi asked.
"Your injuries have just healed. Don't talk so much; eat something first to replenish your strength," Li Feng said softly, holding the turkey leg to her lips. When I rescued her during the day, I had already taken a good look at this girl. She was beautiful and pure, with a touch of ethereal charm. Now, with a slight flush on her face and the firelight reflecting off her, she was truly stunningly beautiful. Thinking back to her ample breasts during the day, even though I only caught a glimpse of them, they still made my face flush and my heart race.
"By the way, Miss Lu, who are those men in black? Why are they chasing you? Where are your family members?"
"How come you're all alone out there?" Li Feng voiced the questions that had been nagging at him.
"The man in black? I..." Lu Xueqi's body trembled, perhaps suddenly remembering what had happened yesterday. Her beautiful face turned deathly pale, and the linen blanket slipped down to her waist, exposing her full, snow-white breasts once again. But she didn't notice, only staring blankly ahead, a hint of despair in her eyes. "I... sob... those damned men, sob... my body... sob... Father, Mother, I'm so sorry... I... I'll come find you right now." With that, she clasped her hands together and lunged at her head.
"Miss Lu... stop!" Li Feng was shocked. With lightning speed, he reached out his right hand and grabbed Lu Xueqi's wrist at the last second. To let such a beautiful girl commit suicide in front of him was an unforgivable sin.
"Let go, you... Waaah... Why did you save me, letting me die... I... Waaah... I have no face to live in this world anymore." Tears streamed down Lu Xueqi's beautiful eyes like rain, her eyes devoid of any life.
"Miss Lu, why must people of the martial world be like this? When you spar, weren't those places touched before? It's just through a layer of clothing. If everyone were like Miss Lu, the entire martial world would never have a day of peace. It would be either being hunted down or committing suicide. Who could bear that?" Li Feng's reasoning was far-fetched, but it was undoubtedly a good remedy for Lu Xueqi in her current state.
Seeing the struggle on Lu Xueqi's beautiful face, Li Feng continued, "Miss Lu, if you're courting death like this, what do I, Li Feng, do? Am I a fool? Besides, those men, though seriously injured, still managed to escape. Didn't you want to kill them yourself to ease your humiliation, instead of resorting to such cowardly acts? Furthermore, although that man's filth... well... although it almost entered your body, it was only a little. Miss Lu wasn't completely possessed by him; your body is still pure..." "Is... is this true?" Lu Xueqi asked Li Feng doubtfully.
"Of course it's true. I saw it with my own eyes. That man in black... well... that thing... just pushed open your... and I... I appeared." Li Feng nodded seriously, but he still felt extremely embarrassed to say such a thing in front of Lu Xueqi.
Lu Xueqi was slowly led astray by Li Feng's train of thought. Suddenly, she thought of her parents. The blood feud was still unavenged. If she were to go to see her parents and brother like this, how unfilial she would be! Thinking of this, she suddenly shivered and knelt down. "My benefactor has saved my daughter twice in one day. Please accept my bow."
Chapter 4, Ambiguity
"No need for that. I just don't want to see such a precious gem covered in dust." Li Feng helped Lu Xueqi up. The sight of her white skin made him feel extremely awkward.
"Ah...you...you bad boy...turn around, don't look!" Seeing Li Feng's gaze, Lu Xueqi also remembered something. She covered her chest and turned away shyly. But below her slender waist, most of her white buttocks were exposed, making Li Feng feel hot. He also quickly turned his head away.
"I'm sorry, I... I didn't see anything, Miss Lu. If I were a bad guy, would I have saved you? Besides, I even took a slap from you. I still don't know why you hurt me!" "Who knows if you're working with those men in black to trick me? My parents said that nine out of ten handsome men are bad guys." "You mean I'm handsome, and most handsome people are bad guys? What kind of weird logic is that? Does that mean your father is ugly?" "You brat, what did you say? Don't think I won't hit you just because you saved me. See how I deal with you!" Lu Xueqi was about to raise her hand when she felt a large hand grab her shoulder.
She didn't know when Li Feng had appeared behind her. He was just in front of her a moment ago, how did he suddenly appear behind her?
"I'm sorry, Miss Lu. I don't know what made you angry. I'm just like this; I've always been with my master since I was little and haven't had any contact with outsiders. This is my first time coming down the mountain, and my master told me to make many friends. To be honest, you're the first woman I've spoken to since I came down. I don't know how to make you believe what kind of person I am. My master should know about my family background, but he avoids talking about it. Apart from the name Li Feng, I know nothing else." "However, I have no ill intentions towards you. I really don't want to see anyone die in front of me. I'll save anyone I can. Now your injuries are mostly healed; you'll be fine after a night's rest. Well... I won't bother you any longer. I'll be going now!" With that, he released the hand that was holding her shoulder.
Lu Xueqi could clearly feel the streams of true energy emanating from that palm, a refreshing and invigorating sensation, like a flowing, endless river. She gasped inwardly, focusing her gaze on Li Feng's face. His eyes, though not gleaming, held a warm, crystalline quality, indicating his internal energy had reached its pinnacle. Even more astonishing was his age; such cultivation at such a young age suggested he would be unmatched in the future. If
he were truly like those men, he could have easily used force; she wouldn't have been able to resist at all, especially since he had healed her. As for his comment about her beauty, perhaps he had simply lived in the mountains and didn't know how to talk to strangers. It seemed she had truly misunderstood him.
Seeing his retreating figure, and noticing he showed no sign of stopping, she cried out, "Young master, please wait! I misunderstood you!" But before she could finish speaking, the dark figure vanished. Perhaps he was still angry with her! A pang of guilt shot through her chest, especially since he had saved her twice. Her voice trembled slightly.
"Miss Lu, were you calling me?" Li Feng appeared behind Lu Xueqi without her noticing.
She turned and saw his handsome face, a sudden surge of joy washing over her. She said softly,
"When did you get behind me? You were clearly in front of me." "This is the Illusion Technique, my favorite movement technique. If you want to learn it, I can teach you. Using it in battle will allow your Lu Family Sword to unleash even greater power. Want to learn?" Li Feng didn't know why he could say these words so easily; he felt a deep connection to her, and being with her felt warm.
"Why are you so kind to me? I treated you like that just now, and... and I... I was just... with another man... Don't you care?" Lu Xueqi bit her lower lip, speaking softly.
"I just felt you needed this movement technique. When I saw you fighting earlier, if you had it, you wouldn't have been injured like this. I really couldn't bear to see a woman like you facing such a life-or-death situation alone. Saving your life is already an immense stroke of luck. I can't guarantee I'll encounter you again if something happens to you. It's better for you to learn this technique and learn to save yourself than to wait for someone else to rescue you, isn't it? Are you willing to learn?" This thoughtful concern and selfless dedication gave her a different feeling towards the boy before her, perhaps like family. ...Though her family was gone...that scene flashed before her eyes again, a scene of blood everywhere. She watched helplessly as her family members were overwhelmed by the enemy's relentless attacks, her mother, aunt, sister, sister-in-law, and maidservant being brutally raped by those beasts, and she wanted to cry but couldn't utter a sound...Every time she thought of this, she couldn't suppress the overwhelming longing for her loved ones. Watching her parents pass away, she could do nothing. She wanted to follow them in death, but she couldn't.
"I must fulfill my parents' dying wish, and perhaps the man before me is Heaven's helper." At that moment, the evening breeze gently caressed her cheek, and the stars in the sky twinkled, as if comforting this unfortunate soul. Her eyes had unknowingly filled with tears, threatening to spill over.
"Miss Lu... Miss Lu..." Li Feng looked at the girl before him, lost in thought, tears welling up in her eyes. She must be recalling some painful past, so he spoke up, trying to pull her out of her sorrow.
But his words were like a sharp knife piercing her heart; tears streamed uncontrollably from her eyes. Seemingly forgetting her exposed chest, she suddenly turned and hugged Li Feng, resting her face on his shoulder.
"I'll feel better after lying down for a while!" she sobbed.
Li Feng knew this wasn't the time to talk, so he gently patted her shoulder, hoping to comfort her. After a while, she calmed down and realized she was lying on Li Feng's shoulder, smelling his scent. Remembering that her chest and underwear were still exposed, her pretty face flushed.
Li Feng was also in a difficult position. Lu Xueqi was already a stunningly beautiful woman, and now her pitiful appearance was even more captivating. Plus, her two full breasts pressed against his chest, and he could see her beautiful flesh just by looking down. How could he, a virgin, resist?
"I'm sorry, I got your clothes wet. Ugh... what is this? It hurts so much." Lu Xueqi lay on Li Feng's shoulder, her eyebrows furrowed, and her hands reached down.
Lu Xueqi grabbed the bulging thing beneath him, and Li Feng gasped. Even through his long robe and trousers, it was still too much for him to bear, and he involuntarily thrust twice.
"Ah...you bad boy, you...how could you, ah...I thought you were a gentleman, but I never thought you...you'd be like this too." Lu Xueqi hurriedly removed her hand, her words full of displeasure, but she tightly wrapped her arms around Li Feng's back.
"Hiss, this...uh...I...I didn't mean to, Miss Lu, you, you're so beautiful." Hearing Li Feng praise her, Lu Xueqi was overjoyed and moved her body forward, forgetting that her underpants were already torn, and Li Feng's erect glans pressed against her vulva through the trousers.
"Ah..." Lu Xueqi was startled, suddenly remembering that afternoon when something similar had been pressing against her private parts, almost penetrating her. Even if she disregarded propriety and liked Li Feng, she couldn't withstand such stimulation. She gasped and burrowed under the burlap blanket.
After a while, she shyly peeked out. "This...it's alright. You...you said...that people of the martial world...well...don't care about formalities, right? I...I'm not angry, you...you won't look down on me because of this, will you?" "How could that be? Absolutely not, no, Miss Lu, you're overthinking it. Yes, I was being presumptuous." Li Feng bowed deeply, speaking in a refined manner, but too embarrassed to straighten up.
"No need for that. Why are you bending over like that? Could you get me some clothes?" Lu Xueqi said shyly, still wrapped in the blanket.
"Ah...okay, I brought a couple more clothes, but I don't know if they'll fit you, um...this...sorry, I..." Li Feng straightened up, a high tent appearing under his scholar's robe.
"You...I...I'm seventeen this year, I don't know how old you are." "I, hehe, I'm eighteen." "Then I'll call you Brother Feng, are you...are you sad?" Lu Xueqi bit her lower lip tightly, taking Li Feng's clothes, already too shy to lift her head, pointing to Li Feng's prominent crotch, she said timidly.
"Yes...I am very sad, but, but Master said, this...is all normal..." "Since you're sad, little sister...little sister will...will make you not sad anymore, okay?" After Lu Xueqi finished speaking, her originally pale face was now as red as a ripe apple.
"Ah...of course, I didn't expect my sister to have such skills." Li Feng had lived deep in the mountains for many years. Although he had seen women, he was quite ignorant about matters between men and women. However, with his crotch bulging in front of such a beautiful girl, he instinctively felt a little ashamed. Hearing that Lu Xueqi could solve the problem, he was immediately happy.
Chapter 5, Background
"Ah...this...do I need to take off my clothes?" Li Feng sat on the boulder next to Lu Xueqi, his face flushed, and asked with some confusion. In his opinion, this was equivalent to treatment, probably acupressure or something similar. Lu Xueqi was actually starting to undo his belt, which made him suddenly feel a little embarrassed.
Lu Xueqi had already changed into Li Feng's long robe, which was a bit loose, but it still couldn't hide her curvaceous figure. Especially now that she was kneeling between Li Feng's legs, her beautiful buttocks were raised high, and Li Feng's clothes were deeply embedded between her buttocks. The swaying charm made Li Feng's mouth go dry.
"Hmph! You... do you still want treatment?" Lu Xueqi loosened Li Feng's waistband, her face flushed with shyness, and said coquettishly.
"Treatment, of course I want treatment." "Then don't speak." After Lu Xueqi finished speaking, she grabbed Li Feng's underwear and gently pulled it. Li Feng's huge, pestle-like thing suddenly sprang out, nodding gently in the wind.
Li Feng's handsome face was already as red as a pig's liver. Although he usually didn't hide it from his master when he bathed, and felt that it was no big deal to show his manhood to others, he didn't know why he felt so embarrassed to be seen by the woman in front of him. Lu Xueqi had been wandering the martial arts world for many years and it wasn't the first time she had seen a man's thing, but at this moment, she no longer had the boldness of the Snow Dance Fairy, and was like a little woman who had just become a wife, with a shy face.
"I...I just...I just want to repay him. He not only saved me, but also offered to teach me the unparalleled Illusionary Technique, without asking anything of me like those other men before. Shouldn't I repay such a man?" Lu Xueqi thought to herself, her slender fingers gently grasping Li Feng's erection.
"Ah...this, Sister Xueqi..." For the first time in his life, Li Feng felt utterly helpless. He watched as her hands grasped his erection, an uncontrollable fire rising within him, as if it would explode, yet he also felt an intense pleasure from this sudden surge of sensation. The tingling, swelling feeling on his erection gave him a new, unparalleled desire beyond martial arts training.
"Will he like it? Will he think I'm a wanton woman?" Lu Xueqi didn't dare look up, and as she pondered, she mimicked the actions of a courtesan, extending her tongue to lightly lick the purple glans at the tip of his penis.
"Ah...I...how could this be...ah...I can't control myself." Li Feng watched as that fragrant tongue slid across his glans, and then his lower body felt as if it were sinking into an incredibly warm and soft cloud of water. Feeling the beautiful woman's crimson tongue exploring his glans, waves of tingling numbness spread through his limbs, and he couldn't muster any true energy.
"Ugh...Brother Feng, is it comfortable? I...I saw those brothel girls serving men like this, they, they were all very happy." Lu Xueqi released his glans, quickly glanced at Li Feng, and said shyly.
"Hmm...comfortable...oh...Sister Xueqi, having such a pure and innocent woman treat me like this, I...I really don't know what to do...ah...what's wrong with me?" Li Feng was more than just clueless. He felt his lower body boiling, hot, swollen, and numb. After being swallowed and spit out by Lu Xueqi's fragrant tongue again, his emotions had reached their peak. Suddenly, he felt a surge of essence, and the desire that had been suffocating him almost to the point of madness burst forth from his body.
Lu Xueqi was carefully examining the jade flute before her, her fragrant tongue dancing incessantly on the glans. Thinking of holding this handsome man's penis in her mouth, she felt both shy and burning with desire. Her naked private parts beneath her long robe were already slick with moisture. Suddenly, she felt the penis in her mouth grow larger. Before she could react, a stream of hot, pungent fluid rushed into the depths of her throat.
Her heart tightened, and she spat out the jade stem, but Li Feng's semen, accumulated over eighteen years, was being released for the first time, like a river bursting its banks, unstoppable. Not only were her hands full, but her small hands, hair, and nose were also covered in the yellowish-white substance. She immediately felt her face burning. Looking at the white, cloudy fluid on her hands and the sticky feeling in her mouth, she was startled and swallowed most of what Li Feng had ejaculated.
Li Feng ejaculated more than twenty times before gradually stopping. He exhaled, his body relaxed, and he immediately felt incredibly comfortable. Seeing that his filth had covered Lu Xueqi, he felt a wave of embarrassment. "Sister Xueqi, I...I...I don't know what happened. Please forgive me, sister." Lu Xueqi was flustered, and hearing Li Feng's voice made her even more ashamed. She picked up her clothes and wiped the sticky substance off her pretty face. "No...it's nothing. It's...it's my way of repaying Brother Feng. Are you...are you feeling better now?" "Yes, much better. It's just...it's just that I wronged you, sister, by having to swallow my filthy stuff." "No, actually...it was quite fun. Since Brother Feng is already comfortable, let's...let's eat something first. I'm a little hungry." "Ah...okay...okay." Li Feng hurriedly pulled up his clothes, tied his waistband, tore off a piece of roast chicken from the side and handed it to Lu Xueqi. "Sister Xueqi, although I was born in the deep mountains, I have heard my master say that if one has physical intimacy with a woman, then..." "It's nothing...Brother Feng, don't think too much about it. I...I'm just repaying a debt of gratitude. Brother Feng saved me twice, this...this is what I should do." Lu Xueqi hurriedly interrupted Li Feng, her eyes filled with indescribable confusion and pain.
"Little sister, is something troubling you? Tell me, perhaps I can help you." Li Feng looked at Lu Xueqi's pained expression and couldn't help but speak, forgetting his master's repeated admonitions. "Of course, if you don't want to talk about it, I won't force you!" "Brother Feng saved my life, and I should tell you frankly, but my family affairs are of great importance. I'm afraid that telling you might cause trouble for you, or even implicate your family. Besides, at first I thought you were an accomplice of the men in black, which is why I slapped you. Now I feel truly ashamed. I'm sorry!" Lu Xueqi looked up at him.
"What danger is there? Anyway, I'm all alone. Only my master is kind to me. Even if I died that day, no one would shed a tear for me. I'm all alone." He said with a hint of melancholy.
"Didn't your master tell you about your family affairs?" she asked with concern.
"Master didn't tell me about my family when he came out. I don't even know who else is in my family. All I know is that my name is Li Feng. I don't know if my parents abandoned me because they didn't like me, or if they had some other reason for leaving me behind?" He clenched his fists involuntarily. He was afraid it was because of the former. What was the point of him searching for his parents then?
"It seems we are both lonely. How about this, let's swear an oath to the heavens and become sworn siblings, so we can look after each other. Is that alright?" she asked cautiously.
"Okay, then I won't be lonely anymore, hehe." Li Feng happily rubbed incense and knelt down next to Lu Xueqi, raising their hands to the heavens to swear an oath. After three kowtows, they were officially sworn siblings.
"I'm so happy, Brother Feng! What I did just now was to relieve your worries, so you don't have any more worries." Lu Xueqi happily hugged Li Feng. "Waaah... Xueqi has a brother again, someone who cares about me again, waaah... Father and Mother... did you see that?" "Yes, now Brother Feng and Xueqi's relationship is officially confirmed. Haha, don't cry anymore, sister. Don't worry, as long as I'm here, I won't let anyone hurt you." "Thank... thank you, big brother, waaah... Since we're siblings now, I won't hide it from you. Do you know about the Divine Sword Lu Family Manor?" Lu Xueqi sobbed.
"Big brother just came down the mountain and has only heard of the Five Great Sects of the World and the Northern Zhao Peak and the Southern Ouyang Sect. I don't know anything else!" Li Feng scratched his head and said.
"It's not my fault, brother. Perhaps only the older generation remembers the name of the Lu Family Manor, the Divine Sword Sect. Back then, our ancestor, Lu Zhiwu, was exceptionally talented. He created the Lu Family Thirteen Styles, which were renowned throughout the martial arts world. Everyone knew of him. Moreover, our ancestor helped the needy and acted chivalrously, earning him the title of 'Great Hero Lu.' At that time, our Lu family was known to everyone." "But great success attracts great attention. There were many who harbored grudges against our Lu family and coveted our Lu Family Sword. However, due to the prestige of our ancestor, no one dared to challenge the Lu family." "This good fortune didn't last long. When the Lu Family Sword was passed down to my father's generation, due to limited talent and only having two daughters and a young brother, the family was small. At this time, those who harbored grudges against our Lu family and those who coveted our ancestor's sword techniques united to form a Sword-Seizing Alliance and suddenly launched an attack on our Lu family. The battle lasted for three days and three nights." "I don't know how many people died. All I saw was blood everywhere, and the sounds of killing and desperate cries for help! I watched my five-year-old brother being cleaved in two, sob sob..." "In the end, my parents had no choice but to hide me in our wine cellar. I desperately held onto my mother's hand, crying and begging to be with my parents, even if we were to die together. My father couldn't bear it, so he put me to sleep and hid me." "I don't know how much time passed, but I slowly regained consciousness. Through the cracks in the wine vats, I saw dead bodies and blood everywhere. My father was tied to a pillar, and in front of him, those beasts, sob sob... those beasts took turns raping my mother, my little sister, and my cousin's wife..." "Sob sob... my little sister was only... sob sob... only twelve years old, and her private parts were torn apart, sob sob... but those damned guys wouldn't let her go, I..." …Waaah… I watched helplessly as a dozen strong men, their filthy members thrusting into her body again and again, but… but I could only hide in the wine vat, afraid to make a sound… Brother, I… Waaah… Am I a coward?”
Chapter Six, Chang’an
Li Feng listened quietly, his handsome face turning ashen, his teeth clenched, his cheeks twitching uncontrollably. In the mountains, his master had told him many evil deeds, but compared to the villains Xueqi had described, they were nothing. No grudge, yet they wiped out an entire family for a sword manual, and what was even more despicable was that they didn't even spare women, turning them into tools of torture… “Father refused to reveal the whereabouts of the sword manual. I touched the manual in my arms, my heart breaking, but I knew that if I handed it over, our entire Lu family would truly be wiped out. The moment my father's ear was cut off, I couldn't bear it any longer and fainted.” "In the past." "When I woke up, I didn't know what time it was. I smashed the wine jar and searched for a long time but couldn't find my parents, sister, or cousin-in-law. I wondered if they were still there? If they were, where did they go? I walked helplessly, searching, and all that was left was despair. I was afraid, I was afraid..." "No, no, they will be alright. Think about it, those people's target was the Lu Family Sword. As long as the Lu Family Sword hasn't fallen into their hands, your parents should be safe." "What you need to do now is to get better as quickly as possible, learn the Lu Family Sword, and in the future you can save your parents and avenge your dead family members. As the saying goes, a gentleman's revenge is never too late, even after ten years. Besides, you are still young, and you will have the opportunity to learn unparalleled martial arts in the future. Why worry about not being able to avenge your great grudge? Moreover, I will help you, little sister, don't worry." Li Feng gently patted Lu Xueqi's fragrant shoulder and said firmly.
"I saw it too. Your swordsmanship already has some power, but your internal energy is lacking, preventing you from unleashing its full potential." With that, he picked up a withered branch from the ground, clenched it in his right hand, and the leaves on the branch flew off, embedding themselves in a nearby tree.
He moved his right hand slightly, following the memory in his mind, and used the Lu Family Sword technique, just as Lu Xueqi had just used. Moreover, each move was fluid and seamless. Following the sword intent at this moment, he unconsciously merged the martial intent within his heart into the sword intent, and thus unleashed it.
Lu Xueqi, standing beside him, was dumbfounded. Her elder brother had only watched once and yet he had mastered it so skillfully, as if the swordsmanship was hidden within his heart. Layers of white-glowing sword energy emanated from the branch, hissing and tearing through the air, causing the surrounding leaves to flutter down, as if dancing in accompaniment to Li Feng.
With a cry of "Ah!", he swung his right hand, holding the branch, forward, his feet forming a bow stance. The sword energy slammed into the ground, forming a straight line. With a flick of his right hand, he planted the branch in the ground, then held it upright with his palm. He cupped his hands, channeling his inner energy into his dantian, and slowly exhaled a breath of turbid air.
"This Lu family sword technique is truly profound. If one masters it, its power will surely be earth-shattering," Li Feng remarked.
Lu Xueqi, however, was even more disheartened. She hadn't expected that the swordsmanship she had learned since childhood was less impressive than the skill her elder brother had displayed after only watching it once. "Have all my years of hard work been in vain?" she murmured.
"No, it's not that your hard work is useless, it's just that your internal strength is insufficient, so you can't unleash its full potential. If you learn advanced internal skills, your achievements will definitely reach a higher level. When learning martial arts, remember not to underestimate yourself or be arrogant. Be like a lake, calm and undisturbed, unfazed by storms." Li Feng encouraged her.
"Thank you for your teachings, brother. I will definitely keep them in mind." "Little sister, I originally wanted to teach you the Dragon-Capturing Heart Method to improve your skills, but Master said that the Dragon-Capturing Skill is a masculine martial art, not suitable for women to practice. But don't worry, I see that your brow is tightly furrowed, indicating that you will have extraordinary opportunities in the future, it's just that the time is not yet right." Li Feng revealed what he knew without hesitation.
"Brother Feng, how come you know everything? Is this astrological divination difficult to learn? Can you teach me?" Lu Xueqi asked upon hearing this.
"This art of astrology is profound and complex. I can only say I've just scratched the surface. Teaching you wouldn't be a matter of a day or two; it requires a great deal of talent," Li Feng said proudly. "
So you mean I'm stupid? Humph, I hate you, I'm ignoring you," Lu Xueqi pretended to be angry.
Li Feng brought his face close to hers, lifted her chin, and examined her closely until Lu Xueqi's face flushed before laughing loudly, "Hmm, you're probably not that stupid." Lu Xueqi hadn't expected him to tease her like this, and she couldn't help but laugh inwardly, though she still maintained an angry expression.
"Alright, alright, I won't tease you anymore. Are you feeling better now? I'll definitely teach you when I have time, don't worry!
" Li Feng continued, "Little sister, do you know? This is the happiest day I've had since I came down the mountain. I even have a little sister now. I'm no longer alone, and neither are you, you know?" "Alright, your injury has just healed, you should go to sleep first. I'll stay with you! Tomorrow morning, let's go to that bustling place together. Perhaps we'll find the news I'm hoping for there." Li Feng said wistfully.
"Where?" "Chang'an!" "Chang'an! Perhaps we can find out news about them." With a touch of melancholy, Lu Xueqi fell into a deep sleep... "Big brother, the post station is just ahead. Let's hire two horses to get around." Lu Xueqi, still wearing Li Feng's clothes, said, her face covered in sweat. "
If you're tired, you can ride a horse. I can use my lightness skill to get around. It's an old habit of mine." Having witnessed her brother's martial arts skills firsthand yesterday, which were truly unmatched, she didn't say anything more. They hired a horse and set off.
After five days of non-stop travel, the two finally saw the city of Chang'an. Along the way, worried that her elder brother couldn't keep up with the horse's pace, she deliberately slowed down. Unexpectedly, he quickly overtook her, forcing her to chase after him with all her might. When they reached the city walls, she looked tired from the bumpy ride, but when she looked at Li Feng, her face was neither flushed nor out of breath, demonstrating his profound inner strength.
Upon entering Chang'an, they were greeted by a bustling scene of prosperity. Flowers bloomed and willows swayed in the breeze, the streets teeming with activity, and all sorts of businesses were operating smoothly. It was Li Feng's first time descending the mountain, and seeing this vibrant scene before him, he was speechless with excitement.
Everything was new and exciting to him: new foods, new shops, and the diverse clothing of the people. Everywhere he looked, there was peace and harmony. He wished every day could be like this, seeing people living in peace and contentment, and seeing smiles on everyone's faces.
Lu Xueqi temporarily forgot her family's sorrows and led Li Feng around, wandering east and west, quickly bewildering him. She seemed to have acquired a fortune from somewhere, buying things here and there until her bundle was almost overflowing. Finally, exhausted, they decided to find an inn to rest.
"Yin and Yang, Five Elements, nine out of ten hexagrams are accurate! I can predict your future, marriage, and career; no money if it doesn't work!" the fortune teller shouted, immediately attracting a crowd of eager onlookers.
"Little sister, let's go take a look!" Li Feng suggested.
"Brother, aren't you somewhat knowledgeable about divination and astrology? Why do we need to go?" Lu Xueqi asked curiously.
"The world is vast, and there are countless talented people. Perhaps some of them truly possess great abilities, and I can learn from them to enrich myself." Li Feng always held himself to high standards, which explained his achievements at such a young age.
The two men entered the fortune-telling stall and saw that the fortune teller was dressed in a Taoist robe, tall and thin, with delicately shaped fingers, fiddling with a few copper coins. His eyes were slightly narrowed, and he occasionally stroked his beard, giving him an air of otherworldly wisdom.
Suddenly, he looked in the direction of Li Feng and his companion, and uttered a low "Eh, how strange!" He then extended his hand to them, "Please!" Li Feng and his companion walked over. "Please sit! What would you like to ask?" the fortune teller asked first.
"Sir, what does my future hold? Will I be able to realize my dreams?" Li Feng asked.
"This young master has extraordinary bones and eyes that gleam with divine light, so he must possess unparalleled martial arts skills. However, he looks regretful, which means he must have been separated from his family since childhood and lived deep in the mountains for a long time. If I'm not mistaken, this must be the first time you've come down from the mountain!" "Old sir, you are truly a divine being! You knew my background at a glance. Could you please tell me if my wishes will come true?" Li Feng exclaimed in surprise.
"Young master, your first half of life must have been sweet, but with sweetness comes bitterness. Now, it's time for you to taste bitterness. I urge you to be careful in everything you do." The fortune teller seemed not to hear Li Feng's words and continued, "Young master, your fate should not be like this. However, due to the heinous crime committed by your ancestors, which is unforgivable and has brought misfortune to three generations, you can avoid all the trouble if you behave yourself. If you insist on investigating further, it may bring countless disasters. You must think carefully before you act." "Please enlighten me, sir. What unforgivable crime did my ancestors commit that would bring misfortune to three generations? If it is true, is there any way for me to bear everything alone and not implicate my family?" Li Feng asked excitedly.
"Young master, you are kind-hearted and your cultivation is unfathomable. Why not use it to benefit the people instead of wasting your time searching for people you should never know?" "As a son, if you don't even know who your own parents are, how can you face them after death?" "I know I can't convince you with a few words. Your life is already destined, but there's a fork in the road, one path is right, the other is wrong! I hope you won't fall into this trap, and take care of yourself!" After the old man finished speaking, he packed up his stall, seemingly leaving.
Chapter Seven, Martial Arts Competition
"Brother, do you think what that old man said is true?" Lu Xueqi asked.
"I'd rather believe it than not! I just find it hard to believe that my parents would do something so outrageous. I really can't imagine it." Li Feng couldn't suppress his indignation.
"Yes, what could possibly be so outrageous as to bring disaster upon three generations? Brother, I don't believe it!" Lu Xueqi was also somewhat uneasy.
"Forget it, don't dwell on things you can't understand. Just like that old man said, it was all preordained. I'll just follow my heart." Li Feng's optimism kicked in again.
"Brother is right. Who cares about black or white, good or evil? We'll find out as we go!" Lu Xueqi nodded. "Let's find an inn now, put our things down, and then find something to eat!" "Let's go!" The two arrived at an inn called "Youlai Youqu" and looked inside.
As expected of Chang'an, the decor was magnificent. The screens were adorned with poems and paintings left by many literati, drawing praise from passersby. The tables and chairs for dining were neatly arranged at both ends, while a large stage stood in the middle, where some people were singing.
After going upstairs and ordering, Lu Xueqi said with a smile, "Brother, you've lived deep in the mountains for so long, you must have never tasted such delicious food before. Let's whet your appetite today." "Alright, then I won't be polite!" Soon, the waiter brought out the dishes and shouted, "The gourd chicken is here!" But he slipped, and the dishes and wine in his hands flew high into the air.
Li Feng reacted quickly, catching the gourd chicken with his right hand and trying to grab the wine pot with his left, but he missed. The wine pot was caught by a burly man, who tossed it towards Li Feng. The wine pot flew straight towards him, carrying with it a slight force.
Li Feng remained calm and unhurried. He withdrew his hand, dissipating the force, and then pushed the wine pot onto the table with a gentle, subtle force, as if a hand had gently pushed it down without spilling a drop of wine.
What seemed like a simple push was actually quite difficult for an ordinary person; it required exquisite control of force.
"Good! Young brother, excellent skill!" The burly man was no novice; he immediately recognized the skill and praised Li Feng with a fist and palm salute.
"Brother, you flatter me!" Li Feng returned the salute.
"Not at all. Brother, you are so young yet possess extraordinary skills, and what's even more commendable is your lack of boastfulness. Such magnanimity is truly admirable." The burly man praised even more.
"Brother, if you don't mind, how about we share a jar?" Li Feng had taken a liking to the burly man and wanted to chat with him further. "
As the saying goes, 'A thousand cups are not enough when drinking with a bosom friend.' One jar is hardly enough; waiter, bring a large bowl." The burly man was not one to be pretentious.
Before long, several large bowls were brought over, each filled with wine.
"Come on, I'll drink first as a sign of respect!" Saying this, he picked up a large bowl, tilted his head back, and gulped it down. In the blink of an eye, the large bowl was empty.
"Alright, I'll also toast you with a bowl, brother!" Li Feng also picked up a large bowl and drank it all in one gulp.
"Again!" The big man picked up another bowl. "Good!" Li Feng did the same... As they drank, before they knew it, the two had finished sixteen jars of wine.
Few people in this inn could drink so much. The other guests also watched the two drinking contest. Seeing so much wine gone in an instant, they all exclaimed, "Good!" Lu Xueqi was also taken aback. She didn't expect that Brother Li, who seemed so thin, could drink so much. Even though they had both drunk so much, they showed no signs of drunkenness and remained as composed as ever.
"Brother, we've each drunk eight large jars. If we keep going, it'll be hard to determine a winner. Let's stop here!" Li Feng straightened his clothes, patted the wine-soaked parts, and cupped his hands in greeting.
Li Feng had drunk a lot of wine, but most of it had been evaporated by his powerful internal energy, which was why his clothes were wet. He hadn't actually drunk much, but he was afraid the burly man would notice if he drank any more.
"Alright, then let's have a footwork contest!" The burly man looked at Li Feng, then at the window beside him.
"I'd be honored, let's go!" Li Feng moved nimbly, leaping out of the window with the burly man. Lu Xueqi was about to chase after them when she heard a voice from afar, "Little sister, stay in the inn for now. Brother and I will be right back." The voice faded into the distance.
Lu Xueqi was helpless; her elder brother was so fond of martial arts, there was really no way to deal with him. Her delicate nose wrinkled slightly, and she was about to get up when a sudden wave of energy rushed from her side. Startled, Lu Xueqi twisted her waist and attacked. Turning around, she only saw a white figure disappear into the inn. Running closer, she found the person had vanished without a trace.
Looking down, she realized the object in her hand wasn't a hidden weapon, but a crumpled piece of paper. Unfolding it, she saw a line of small characters: "The first part of the Chasing Clouds Mission has been completed. Delivery to Canghai Inn tomorrow at noon." A gentle breeze ruffled her clothes, her snow-white gauze robe fluttering. Lu Xueqi trembled, suppressing her excitement, gently smoothing her temples, letting out a long sigh, and turning to leave. Besides joy and excitement, a hint of sadness flickered in her beautiful eyes.
Meanwhile, Li Feng and the burly man jumped out of the window and ran for over ten miles, still evenly matched.
A river appeared before them. The two stopped simultaneously, each striking the other with a palm strike, then retreating a few steps. Li Feng's left hand formed a claw, his right a palm; he retracted the claw and thrust the palm forward. The burly man, not daring to be careless, gathered his energy in both hands and unleashed a powerful strike. A series of clanging
sounds rang out, scattering everything in their path.
"Well done! Another palm strike!" "Take this!" A familiar dragon's roar pierced the air, carrying with it weeds and dust that gradually solidified into a dragon's head. The burly man roared, "Go!" His own true energy condensed into a sharp sword, slamming fiercely towards the dragon's head.
A massive explosion, like a thunderclap, erupted. The two immediately accelerated, rapidly closing the distance. They exchanged blows, a lively and exciting exchange, the explosions never ceasing.
Judging from the smiles on their faces, it was clear they had used all their life's skills, discovering their weaknesses in the fight and constantly improving and refining their techniques. What one learns in battle is always the most effective.
Unbeknownst to them, the two had exchanged thousands of blows, yet neither showed any sign of weakness, demonstrating their profound internal strength.
After a period of separation, it seemed they were about to unleash their final move. Li Feng continuously drew circles, forming a sphere of true energy in his hand, which gradually evolved into a vortex, as if the surrounding air had solidified.
On the other side, the burly man also gathered a sphere of true energy in front of him, which slowly shrank. He looked up, and Li Feng, who was also looking in the burly man's direction, shouted, "Wind Sweeps Away Clouds..." The burly man, staring at the tornado-like true energy hurtling towards him, roared back, "Sky-Piercing Palm..." The two terrifying energies collided violently, creating a deafening explosion that blasted a crater three zhang in diameter.
"Exhilarating..." "Exhilarating..." they both exclaimed simultaneously.
"Brother, your palm power is profound; I admire you!" Li Feng looked at the burly man, cupping his hands in a gesture of respect.
"Likewise, young brother, your skill is also quite profound, I admire you greatly!" Li Feng was about to speak when the burly man continued, "What's even more commendable is that young brother, you possess such martial arts prowess at such a young age. If I hadn't seen it with my own eyes, no one would believe it." The burly man carefully examined Li Feng, trying to figure out which family this young man belonged to. He didn't seem to know any young masters from prominent families. Could he be a disciple of those reclusive old ghosts? Oh well, if he couldn't figure it out, he wouldn't waste his time.
Li Feng, upon hearing this, became even more humble. "Don't say that. It's all thanks to my master's excellent training. Without my master, I wouldn't be who I am today! Brother, you're really flattering me too much!" "Alright, stop calling me 'brother,' it sounds so formal. My name is Zhao Wu! If you're willing, you can call me 'Boss Zhao,' if you're not, just call me 'Martial Madman,' haha... that's what everyone calls me." It was nearly evening, and the sunset illuminated the earth. The dark red afterglow also fell on the two men's faces. Li Feng wiped the sweat from his face, lay down on the ground, and reflected on the battle just now, considering his shortcomings. Then, he slowly looked up at the sunset in the sky. A gentle breeze blew by, carrying away all his fatigue.
This battle was the most exhilarating one he had fought since coming down the mountain. The big man in front of him was also the strongest he had ever seen, and he was very kind and generous. His moves were fierce but not ruthless, and he exuded a heroic aura that rushed straight towards him.
"Well, I'll just call you Brother Zhao. I'm Li Feng, eighteen years old (by Chinese reckoning), and this is my first time traveling down the mountain." Seeing that Zhao Wu was around twenty-five or twenty -six, Li Feng naturally referred to himself as "younger brother.
" Hearing this, Zhao Wu was even more shocked. He had originally thought Li Feng's cultivation level would be around twenty-three or twenty-four, but hearing him say he was only eighteen, such a young age and already possessing such cultivation, he must be a disciple of a great master.
Zhao Wu straightened his sweat-soaked clothes and looked at Li Feng. "Young brother, you're so young, yet your cultivation has reached an unfathomable level. May I ask your master's name?" Zhao Wu didn't hesitate to voice his question.
"Brother Zhao, to be honest, my master taught me long ago that one must never reveal his name when traveling the martial world. Please forgive me for not being able to tell you directly!" "No problem, no problem. Your master must be a reclusive master, whose cultivation must have reached the pinnacle. Such a master would no longer care about fame and fortune. It's just a pity that I have little chance to meet you. To be able to admire your demeanor is a great regret in my life!" Zhao Wu's face showed disappointment, which must have been because he genuinely wanted to meet Li Feng's master! However, this disappointment quickly turned into excitement. Zhao Wu put his arm around Li Feng's shoulder, his heart filled with excitement.
"Although I haven't had the chance to pay my respects to the venerable master, I am fortunate to meet his true disciple today. Especially for a young man like you, with such skill at such a young age, you must have surpassed your master. I can only admit my inferiority to Brother Li."
Chapter 8, Sworn Brotherhood
. Zhao Wu comes from a wealthy and powerful family, so he naturally learned superior martial arts and his vision is naturally superior to others. It is not easy for him to admit his inferiority to someone younger than him. Judging from his speech and martial arts, he must have received careful instruction from his elders to have such skill at such a young age. He can be considered a prodigy. However, there are always people more skilled than you, and there is still a gap between him and Li Feng.
"Brother Zhao, you are too kind. Compared to your generosity and kindness, I still have a lot to learn. I will have to ask you for guidance in the future!" Li Feng said sincerely, looking at the strong figure.
"Likewise, young brother, we hit it off immediately. Why don't we take advantage of this sunset, gather some soil as incense, and become sworn brothers? What do you say, young brother?" Firstly, Zhao Wu really wanted to get to know this young brother and see how he had achieved martial arts skills that were difficult for ordinary people to obtain. Secondly, with this young brother's current cultivation level, it was only a matter of time before he reached the pinnacle of martial arts. And if the Zhao family befriended him, the Zhao family's reputation would surely be far greater than before.
"This is wonderful! Brother Zhao, your kindness is more than I could ask for." Thinking that he could become sworn brothers with this admirable Brother Zhao, thus increasing his chances of finding his origins, he said, "I've already sworn brotherhood with Xueqi, and today I'll acknowledge you as my elder brother on her behalf." "Haha...Good! Heaven above, the setting sun as our witness, today Zhao Wu and Li Feng become sworn brothers. We will share both fortune and misfortune. We don't ask to be born on the same day, month, and year, but we ask to die on the same day, month, and year. If I break this oath, may I lose all my martial arts and be scorned by the world." The two finished speaking almost simultaneously. As their voices faded, they both kowtowed eight times to the setting sun. Perhaps even Heaven was moved, for a gentle breeze suddenly blew, blessing the two.
"Second brother, I'm a little older than you, so I won't stand on ceremony and call myself the eldest brother!" "Of course, eldest brother!" "Second brother, we've been fighting for several hours now. Our third sister must be getting impatient. Let's go back now!" The two stood up, took flight with light steps, and soared into the air, leaving only the sunset glow behind them.
"By the way, second brother, what brings you to Chang'an?" Zhao Wu asked Li Feng beside him.
"Elder brother, I've heard that among the five major martial arts sects in the Central Plains, Tianxiang Valley is the most powerful. I've been longing to come and see for myself!" Li Feng paused and said, "The girl I was with earlier was someone I rescued on my way here. Seeing her pitiful background, I took on the responsibility of being her older brother and wanted to protect her!" "I see. It seems every family has its own troubles. Sigh!" Zhao Wu couldn't help but sigh... The sun finally sank into the western sky, and the two returned before dark.
The night in Chang'an was brightly lit, preventing pedestrians from getting lost in the darkness. This also boosted the city's nighttime population, a sight rarely seen in cities of the past. The scene was peaceful; everyone went about their business in an orderly fashion. Although the streets were crowded, they weren't congested. Some families strolled together, passing the time, while some respected elders gathered, discussing the differences between the past and present, expressing their gratitude for living in this prosperous era… Watching the families strolling together, Li Feng felt a pang of envy, hoping to live such a simple yet happy life. Upon arriving at the inn, he saw a beautiful woman waiting there, her slender hand supporting her chin, her brows furrowed, her beautiful eyes revealing a hint of sorrow and helplessness—a sight that tugged at his heartstrings.
"Little sister, why are you all alone here, looking so downcast? Did someone bully you?" Li Feng asked with a smile, changing his tone.
Lu Xueqi waited for a long time but her older brother still hadn't returned. She wanted to go out and look for him, but they had gone in the opposite direction using their light-footed skills. If she chased after them, her brother would definitely rush out to look for her again when he returned and still hadn't seen her. By nightfall, she was already extremely anxious. Hearing someone making suggestive remarks, all the pent-up anger in her heart burst forth. She
turned around abruptly, and before she could even see who it was, she raised her hand and slapped them. The man dodged, and she changed her footwork, then raised her foot to kick the man's left ribs. Unexpectedly, this powerful kick was easily caught by the man.
Her ankle was held by a strange man, and she was filled with shame and anger. Just as she was about to curse, she heard Li Feng chuckle, "Hey, little sister, don't you recognize me? Why did you hit me so hard?" He looked at the beautiful woman in front of him, who was blushing and looking at her right hand.
Only then did he realize that he was still holding the beauty's ankle, and his face flushed red. He quickly let go. Although he had already seen Xueqi's most private parts, he couldn't go too far in front of so many people. He coughed lightly, "I wanted to give you a surprise, but I almost got kicked by you!" "That's because you bullied me first, and you even grabbed my... my..." Lu Xueqi quickly withdrew her foot, stomped it lightly, and rubbed her thumbs back and forth, her tone slightly angry. "
Okay, it's my fault as your older brother. I shouldn't have bullied you. I'm guilty, I'm unforgivable, alright? Please forgive me, Miss Lu, and be lenient with me! Is that alright?" Li Feng looked at the slightly angry Lu Xueqi and teased her with a hint of self-reproach.
"Alright, alright, then this heroine will punish you by making you eat a proper meal, then make your bed and go to sleep quickly, so you don't worry anyone anymore." Lu Xueqi giggled, her voice as melodious as a nightingale's song, instantly soothing to the listener.
"Little sister, you know what? When you smile, you really look like a fairy from heaven, so approachable. Can you always be like that? Wouldn't that make you feel much more relaxed? The past is the past. From now on, I'll be with you, protecting you. And now, there's someone else too!" Li Feng stepped aside.
Lu Xueqi looked closely and realized it was the same burly man from earlier that day.
"And this brother is…" Lu Xueqi shifted her gaze to the man behind her, slightly adjusting her tone.
"This is the elder brother I just met." The awkward moment had finally passed, and Li Feng regained his composure, excitedly introducing his sworn brother to the Lu family girl. Before he could finish, Zhao Wu interjected, "I am Zhao Wu, Li Feng's sworn brother!" Zhao Wu was somewhat hesitant to look at the smiling woman's face, blurting out the words hastily.
Perhaps the atmosphere had eased considerably, for Lu Xueqi also glanced at the robust Zhao Wu and chuckled softly, the blush on her face fading slightly as she brushed a strand of hair behind her ear.
"So you are Brother Zhao Wu! This humble woman, Lu Xueqi, greets you!" she said, bowing to Zhao Wu.
"Miss Lu, you are too kind. My second brother and I are sworn brothers. Since you and my second brother address each other as brother and sister, if you don't mind, please call me Brother Zhao!" Zhao Wu was quite excited. He hadn't expected this beautiful woman, like an angel fallen from heaven, to have this relationship with his second brother. How wonderful!
Zhao Wu also grew up without parents, living with only his grandfather and two uncles. His grandfather was extremely strict with him, frequently resorting to corporal punishment—he was practically a devilish grandfather.
Perhaps because Zhao Wu had lost his parents at a young age, his grandfather was particularly afraid he would go astray, so his demands and expectations of him were exceptionally high, even to the point of being harsh. His requirements for martial arts were especially stringent; he spent almost every day studying, with very little leisure time. Furthermore, his friends were all chosen by his grandfather according to his own standards—mostly royalty or scions of prestigious families—leaving him with few truly close confidants.
He wasn't without beautiful women, but they were all just casual acquaintances. Since they couldn't confide in each other, it was naturally difficult for them to develop feelings. So far, he hadn't even had a female friend he could truly confide in, let alone get married. Today, meeting Lu Xueqi, he saw a very genuine side of a woman. He realized that talking to women could be so easy—something he had never dared to imagine before. Because in the past, his conversations with women were always about business or polite formalities, which he found heavy and exhausting, more tiring than learning martial arts or literature. Therefore, he had closed his heart to women ever since.
