"I'm free!"
Under the clear moonlight, a small figure stood on a mound and shouted. Her crisp voice traveled far and wide, echoing back and forth in the wilderness not far away.
The person who shouted was naturally Linghu Wan, who had escaped from the Shujian Zhuang. After she had brought Wang Yan out of the secret tunnel, they had followed the stream behind Little Mirror Mountain and traveled upstream. When they had bypassed Heng Shui City and were far away from the boundary of Little Mirror Mountain, Linghu Wan finally could not help but vent the joy in her heart.
For more than half a year, this girl had been playing dumb every day and secretly plotting for the future. Now that she had finally escaped from the Shujian Zhuang and bid farewell to her past, she was about to usher in a brand new future. How could she not be happy?
"If there were people following us, they would have all been caught by you."
Finally escaping from the Shujian Zhuang, Wang Yan was naturally happy. It was rare for him to joke with Linghu Wan. They were dozens of miles away from Little Mirror Mountain. Wang Yan was naturally not worried that someone would follow them. After all, if someone really had their eyes on them, they would have made a move long ago.
"With you here, what do I have to be afraid of?"
Linghu Wan rolled her eyes at Wang Yan. Her eyes, which were like luminous pearls, seemed to move with a unique charm. Seeing this, Wang Yan's heart could not help but beat faster. As his heart throbbed, he blurted out, "Follow me. I will protect you. Even if we meet a top expert, I will be the first to die."
When these words left his mouth, even Wang Yan himself was shocked. He knew that with his personality, he would never say such words under normal circumstances. But facing Linghu Wan, even though they had only known each other for a short time, Wang Yan subconsciously wanted to protect her and shield her from the wind and rain.
This was the first time Wang Yan had such a clear feeling. Perhaps he had fantasized about Miss Four in Aojian Hanyue, but Miss Four was as high and unreachable as the stars in the sky. Wang Yan was just a small shrimp in the pugilistic world. Even though he admired Miss Four, he did not dare to have any blasphemous thoughts.
As for Diwu Yun, Wang Yan did not shy away from his likes. He liked to listen to Diwu Yun's lectures, and liked to quarrel with her. But that was all. Being a confidante, accompanying and protecting her for a lifetime, he had never thought about it.
Only when facing Linghu Wan, whom he had only known for a short while, Wang Yan could not help but feel moved. Perhaps it was because he recognized Linghu Wan as a kindred spirit and some other feelings, but in the end, he was moved. "Bah, bah, bah.
I escaped with great difficulty and haven't even started a new life. What are you talking about? It's so unlucky. Quickly spit three times and get rid of these unlucky things. "
As Linghu Wan spoke, she pulled Wang Yan's hand and made Wang Yan spit three times on the ground. Wang Yan did not believe these words, but he still did as he was told.
"That's right. Don't worry, we won't be so unlucky. I want to be a heroine, and this is just my starting point."
As she spoke, Linghu Wan could not help but look at the bright moon in the sky. Her eyes shone with hope for her dreams and future. Looking at Linghu Wan like this, Wang Yan knew that she was the same as him. Innocence was just a facade. She must have an unwavering goal.
"What do you plan to do next?"
Hearing Wang Yan's question, Linghu Wan turned around and took out a jade tablet from her waist. She said, "This is what my mother left for me and Third Sister. She was also a heroine who roamed the Jianghu in her early years. Unfortunately, she met a bad man and died of anger because of Linghu Qiu.
In my memory, my mother left us a message. She told us that if we did not want to stay in the Shujian Zhuang in the future, we could bring this token to Donghua State and join Xin Yue Zhai. "
Xin Yue Zhai?
Wang Yan had never heard of this sect, but it was not strange. Donghua State and Nanyue State were tens of thousands of miles away, and there was also Beisheng State in between. The two states did not have much contact. Not to mention that Wang Yan was not very knowledgeable. If he did not come down the mountain by chance, he would not even know about the Cold Moon Sect and the Black Water Thief.
How could Linghu Wan, a girl without any martial arts foundation, go there? What kind of danger would she encounter along the way? Wang Yan did not want to think too deeply about it. He could not help but ask, "Must you go?"
"Yes."
Linghu Wan's answer was very determined, but she immediately said, "Don't worry, I won't ask you to go with me. I said I want to be a heroine. What is this Jianghu like? I have to see it for myself."
Wang Yan shook his head. He did not think that Linghu Wan's dream of being a heroine could come true at all. She was at least 24 or 25 years old, and had long passed the stage of building her foundation. The possibility of her being able to sense Qi was very small. However, Wang Yan did not have the heart to hurt Linghu Wan.
Linghu Wan did not notice Wang Yan's strange expression. She said, "But I also know that Jianghu is dangerous, so I have to follow you for a while. You won't be unwilling to teach me martial arts, right?"
"Yes."
Wang Yan did not even think and blurted out what was in his heart. Seeing this, Linghu Wan smiled sweetly and said, "Okay, I will follow you for now. Where are we going now?"
"Home."
These two words naturally came out of Wang Yan's mouth. However, when these two words left his mouth, Wang Yan realized that deep in his heart, the shabby thatched cottage in the village at the foot of the mountain had become his home. Although he had only been away for a few days, when he thought of going home, the figures of Xiao Douzi, Bai Moli, and the others would appear in his heart, making him instantly want to grow wings and fly back.
Thinking of this, Wang Yan's face revealed a smirk. Then, he stretched out his hands and suddenly hugged Linghu Wan horizontally in his arms.
"Let's go!"
With a soft shout, Wang Yan used his Qinggong and his whole body rolled towards the wilderness. Not long after, the two figures merged into the night, leaving only a few scattered sounds and Linghu Wan's bell-like laughter.
.....
"Why isn't Master back yet?"
In the simple and crude training field, Xiao Douzi sat on a plum blossom stump, one hand supporting his head and the other rubbing snowflakes. He looked listless, no longer as spirited as he used to be.
Right next to Xiao Douzi, Bai Moli's feet were placed on two plum blossom stump, squatting in a standard horse stance. Other than that, she held a stone dumbbell in each of her hands, and as she breathed, the stone dumbbell in her hands rose and fell.
For the past half a month, although Bai Moli still did not sense Qi, under Xiao Douzi's daily massage, her body had become stronger, and her endurance had also become stronger. Therefore, she trained even harder, and even Li Mo was no match for her.
Hearing Xiao Douzi's words, Bai Moli's hands did not stop, and she huffed and puffed, "Master … will … come back. If … he … sees … you slacking off all day, and not good at … training, Master … will be angry."
"Who said I'm slacking off?"
Xiao Douzi suddenly jumped up from the plum blossom stump, as if her tail had been stepped on. Then, as her body moved, she was able to go back and forth freely on several plum blossom stump. In such a short period of time, this little girl had mastered the Eight Trigrams Swimming Steps that Wang Yan had taught her, and she was even able to use it well.
Looking at Xiao Douzi who was moving back and forth, Bai Moli's eyes were filled with envy. She really did not understand how Xiao Douzi cultivated. She did not seem to work very hard, but Xiao Douzi always learned the things that Master taught her very quickly. Was talent really that important?
Xiao Douzi stopped moving. After all, she was still young, and after going back and forth on the plum blossom stump, she could not help but pant a little. However, the little girl raised her head and said to Bai Moli, "See? I'm not slacking off! If it wasn't for Master asking me to massage your blood every morning and evening, my inner force might have broken through by now.
I spend so much inner force to massage your blood every day, and Senior Sister, you still say that I'm slacking off? If Master finds out, it's really … "
Xiao Douzi's eyes were red as she spoke. After all, she was still a child, and her words and actions were still childish. However, before she could finish, a voice came from behind.
"Really what?"
Swoosh.
Xiao Douzi and Bai Moli immediately looked towards the direction of the voice, and saw two silhouettes standing at the side of the training field in the snowstorm. One of them was Wang Yan.
"Ah, Master is back!"
Xiao Douzi screamed, and then rushed towards Wang Yan as if she was flying, and then burrowed into Wang Yan's arms like a swallow flying into the woods. Bai Moli was not as unscrupulous as Xiao Douzi, but she still shook off the stone lock in her hand, jumped down from the plum blossom stump, and ran towards Wang Yan immediately.
Wang Yan looked at Xiao Douzi in his arms, and could not help but reach out to stroke Xiao Douzi's hair, which looked like a bird's nest. He then smiled and said, "During the few days I was away, did you slack off?"
"No, Senior Sister can testify!"
Xiao Douzi answered firmly, but her little head quietly turned towards Bai Moli, and then she blinked at Bai Moli desperately.
This scene was seen by Linghu Wan, who was next to Wang Yan. She immediately giggled and said, "What an interesting little sister."
As soon as Linghu Wan spoke, it immediately attracted the attention of Bai Moli and Xiao Douzi. Bai Moli only showed curiosity in her eyes, but Xiao Douzi was instantly like a little hedgehog. She asked with extreme caution, "Who are you?"
"You can call me Sister Linghu."
Linghu Wan did not mind Xiao Douzi's wariness, but Xiao Douzi did not appreciate it, and said coldly, "I only have Sister Yun, there is no Sister Linghu."
"Don't be rude, Xiao Douzi!"
Wang Yan did not understand why Xiao Douzi was so hostile towards Linghu Wan, so he couldn't help but shout. However, Xiao Douzi, who would usually listen to him after he scolded her, suddenly broke free from his arms, and then ran to Bai Moli's side, saying, "Senior Sister, quickly go and find Sister Yun. Just say that there is a vixen coming to steal master."
Vixen?
Wang Yan finally understood why Xiao Douzi was like this, but he couldn't help but have a headache. Before Wang Yan could react, Bai Moli's gaze towards Linghu Wan became more vigilant. Then, this girl, who was always obedient to Wang Yan, completely ignored Wang Yan and ran towards Diwu Yun's residence.
