Biên tập viên: Atlas Studios

It was like a bolt from the blue!

Ye Jingtang was about to say something flirtatious, but he almost choked to death when the words reached his mouth.

Luo Ning was ready to cooperate, but she was frightened by the voice. She raised her leg and kicked Ye Jingtang off the bed.

Plop!

There was a muffled sound in the house.

At the same time, the door was kicked open.

A figure wearing a bamboo hat and a raincoat rushed into the barren room.

The figure was not tall, probably only reaching Ye Jingtang's shoulder. There was a saber with a red tassel hanging under the raincoat, and her face under the bamboo hat was very exquisite. She was a young girl who looked less than eighteen years old.

The girl in the bamboo hat was extremely agile. The moment she crashed into the house, she saw the tall Ye Jingtang roll onto the floor and get up.

But the face of her master's wife was pale as she leaned against the wall in fear. Her eyes were full of panic, and it was unknown how much humiliation she had suffered!

"Thief!"

When the girl in the bamboo hat saw this scene, she was furious. She immediately drew her saber and charged at Ye Jingtang. "Die!"

Ye Jingtang was stunned. He instinctively pulled out his saber to block, but he found that this girl was quite fierce. She actually made him stagger with a slash and attacked again.

Ye Jingtang could block her attacks. He couldn't really fight. Seeing that Luo Ning was so panicked that she didn't stop the girl, he hurriedly reminded, "Heroine, wait! We're on the same side!"

The girl in the bamboo hat paused and looked at her master's wife from the corner of her eye.

Luo Ning, who was curled up in the corner, was trembling all over. When she came back to her senses, she hurriedly said, "Yunli, stop. This little thief… No, this young hero is a good person."

The girl in the bamboo hat was skeptical. She looked at Ye Jingtang coldly. "Who are you? Why are you here?"

"I…" Ye Jingtang wanted to explain, but he immediately felt that something was wrong. He spread his hands slightly. "Miss Yun, this is my house! Why do you think I'm here?"

Zhe Yunli was stunned. "My surname is Zhe! Not Yun. I found this place first and stayed here for half a month. How is it your house? Yesterday, when I came over, you occupied my house, and I haven't dealt with you yet…"

Ye Jingtang took out the lease contract written by the landlady from his sleeve. "Did you pay? Show me the lease."

"…"

Naturally, Zhe Yunli didn't. As she was in the wrong, she changed the topic and sized up Ye Jingtang's attire. "Aren't you a scholar?"

"Who says I'm a scholar?"

"Martial Mistress said… Alright."

Zhe Yunli finally realized that they were the ones who had trespassed. She put away her saber and ran to the bed. "Martial Mistress, are you okay?"

While speaking, she took off his bamboo hat, revealing her long hair that was tied up like a man's.

Her oval face was very exquisite, and her willow-shaped eyebrows and red lips carried a hint of a different kind of chivalry. In terms of appearance, she was not inferior to the beauty in front of her. It was just that she had yet to grow, so she didn't have the seductive charm brought with age.

When Ye Jingtang heard Zhe Yunli call Luo Ning martial mistress, he secretly heaved a sigh of relief for some reason.

Luo Ning was obviously feeling guilty. She nestled under the blanket and pretended to be weak. "I'm fine. Don't worry."

"Martial Mistress, why is your face alternating between red and white?"

"I just forced the poison out. My martial arts skills are profound, and I'm already fine. I'm just a little out of breath."

"Oh… Why is there a white chicken here?" Zhe Yunli looked at the bird watching from the side, then at Ye Jingtang. "You raised it?"

"Chirp?" The bird was very unhappy.

"It looks like it. I'll make some chicken soup for Martial Mistress," the girl in the bamboo hat said and was about to catch the chicken.

But before Ye Jingtang could move, Luo Ning hurriedly blocked the bird that had helped her 'talk' earlier. "You can't eat this bird. Hmm… every being has a soul. I like this bird."

Seeing this, Zhe Yunli let the bird go and wanted to examine Luo Ning's body. But when she pulled the blanket, she turned to look at Ye Jingtang. "Do you have any dry rations? Martial Mistress didn't eat in the afternoon. When I came back, time was tight, and I forgot to bring them."

Ye Jingtang looked at the two of them who couldn't leave. After a moment of silence, he called the bird over and turned to leave…

———

The sky had already turned completely dark.

The door and windows of the main room were closed, but they couldn't block the breeze that penetrated through the gaps. Crystal raindrops would only drop from the straw raincoat covering the hole, making a crisp sound.

An oil lamp was beside the bed, casting the shadows of the two people on the wall.

Luo Ning hugged a pillow as she lay on the bed. Her blue skirt had been pulled down to her hips, revealing her waist and back that were as fair as suet. Under the candlelight, she looked like an elusive and flawless piece of jade.

Zhe Yunli was massaging her back with both hands, soothing her qi and blood. She sighed. "It's all Master's fault. There are so many experts in our Pacifying Heaven Cult, but Master wasn't willing to lend any of them to us. If any of the Four Great Protectors had come, we wouldn't have been chased…"

Luo Ning was a little absent-minded and said gently, "Your master isn't heartless. There are crouching tigers and hidden dragons in the capital, a hundred thousand imperial guards outside, and many experts hidden in the Imperial City. Your master isn't even confident that she could save someone, so how could she let her disciples take the risk? We owe Hero Qiu a favor. Coming here in private is already disregarding the big picture…"

The Pacifying Heaven Cult was one of the top Jianghu factions in the world. The Pacifying Heaven Cult's cult master ranked first among the Eight Chiefs and was also the most powerful 'rebel leader' in Great Wei.

But the gap between the Pacifying Heaven Cult and the rulers of the world was still too great.

Zhe Yunli knew that her master's wife was telling the truth, but she was still unhappy. "Hero Qiu was caught by the government in order to cover for me. And he can be executed at any time. How can I stand by and do nothing? It's all her fault. It's fine if she didn't come to save him, but she refused to teach me her true skills, and she didn't teach you either…"

"Martial arts depends on talent. Your master is a genius that only appears once in a hundred years. Feng Guancheng even said that if he left the mortal world, your master might take over the title of 'Martial Immortal'. A person with this level of ability, even if she taught us all the skills she knows, can we learn them? In the past, when I wanted to learn them, your master taught me the Screen-Opening Sword. She said that it was an ordinary sword technique I could casually study. In the end, I didn't even reach basic mastery after learning it for half a month. You don't know, but your master looked at me with disdain. Sigh…"

When Luo Ning said this, she tilted her head to look at the night rain outside the window. She seemed to be thinking about Ye Jingtang's gaze today. His eyes looked to be saying that it was unbelievable that there were idiots who couldn't learn the move.

Zhe Yunli smiled. Finding that her master's wife had no reaction, she blinked and looked back at the window. "Martial Mistress, why are you looking at the window from time to time?"

I'm afraid that little thief will peek… Luo Ning retracted her gaze and said gently, "It's windy in the room. I have taken off her clothes, so I naturally have to be careful."

Zhe Yunli smiled sweetly. "Martial Mistress, don't worry. That kid's martial arts skills are weak. He staggered after being struck by a single strike of my saber. How would he have the guts to peek?"

Luo Ning had just been touched for fifteen minutes, so she didn't think that the little thief didn't have the guts. But she didn't dare to say these things and just smiled. "Don't underestimate this little thief. I tested him today, and his talent is really extraordinary. He will probably become a great person in the future."

Zhe Yunli was surprised and asked, "Really? How does he compare to me?"

"The gap is not small."

"Hehe, of course. Master said that as long as I study hard, I can become a Grandmaster before the age of twenty-five…"

"…"

Luo Ning opened her mouth, but she didn't want to attack her dear junior, so she didn't say anything.

After applying the medicine, Zhe Yunli carefully checked her master's wife's body to see if there were any other injuries. But just as she lifted the blanket and touched her, she was suddenly stunned. "Martial Mistress…"

"Hmm?"

Zhe Yunli's expression was strange as she touched Luo Ning's leg. "Why are your pants so wet?"

Luo Ning's face instantly flushed red as she hurriedly pulled up the blanket. "Just now, when I forced out the poison, I sweated a lot. How can my body be dry?"

"I thought you wet the bed… Oww~!"

Before Zhe Yunli could finish laughing, she was knocked on the head…
