Chapter 1370 Though living in the martial world, my mother dislikes fighting and killing.
"Master's wife, junior sister went back to find Master. What should we do now? Should we go back to find junior sister?" Chu Yanzhi stood anxiously in the carriage, lifting the carriage curtain and looking back through the window. However, all that was left was a cloud of dust, and Azhen's figure was nowhere to be seen.
After escaping the encirclement, the sudden relaxation made Chu Yanzhi feel tired and drowsy. He lay down next to his master's wife and was half asleep. He vaguely saw his junior sister break free from his master's wife's embrace and rummage through the carriage for something.
The running around for days must have frightened and exhausted my master's wife. Now that we are safe for the time being, she hasn't had time to pay attention to what my junior sister is doing.
As they were both drifting in and out of sleep, they suddenly heard a sound. When they opened their eyes, they realized that only he and his teacher's wife were left in the carriage.
Before they could even react to what was happening, they heard Xinbo outside say that his junior sister had run back with something in her hand. She was moving incredibly fast; even he hadn't gotten a clear look at her, only knowing that it was his junior sister.
Then he and his teacher's wife came to their senses and remained stunned for a long time.
The carriage still didn't stop, presumably because Xinbo was afraid of an accident, but it was moving much slower than before.
“Miss’s martial arts skills are extraordinary, at least her escape skills are very impressive,” Xin Shun said at this moment. “In the martial arts world, Miss’s lightness skill is definitely top-notch. Under normal circumstances, she should have no problem escaping those people just now. Now, if we chase after them, we can’t really help them. I can’t go up and do anything. I can only stay by Madam’s and Young Master Yan’s side to protect them.”
Xin Shun was actually quite shocked by what he had just witnessed. He had always been by the master's side, and he had watched the young lady grow up; he truly had no idea that the other party's lightness skill was so formidable. However, he was only shocked by the result and did not suspect anything. After all, she was a member of the martial arts world, and the young lady was the master's daughter; it was normal for her to have learned powerful martial arts.
Perhaps the master had already discovered that the young lady had a talent for lightness skills and secretly encouraged her to work hard without revealing it. It was just that there was no opportunity, and for people in the martial arts world, it was quite normal to keep a skill hidden.
At this moment, neither Yi Xiaolan nor Chu Yanzhi had thought of Azhen's lightness skill; they were just wondering how she had managed to run back.
After an unknown amount of time, Yi Xiaolan finally came to her senses, her face looking rather grim: "At a time like this, how can Zhen'er be so insensible? What can she do by running back? Does she want to implicate her husband? Her husband told us to leave first so he could handle the aftermath without having to worry about so many things. Her going back like this will only be a burden. I hope her husband won't be affected."
She clasped her hands together and prayed, "Xin Shun, we can't go back and cause trouble. Let's just follow what my husband arranged. I don't know martial arts, and Yan Zhi's skills are of no help. You are good at martial arts, but as you said, you still have to protect the two of us, so you can't help my husband either. Going back would only be a burden."
"Zhen'er is good at light footwork, so escaping won't be a problem. I hope that when she runs back, her husband will have already defeated those people."
"Yes, Madam." Xin Shun breathed a sigh of relief. If he had really run back, he really didn't know what would have happened. It wasn't that he didn't care about Miss. No matter how good her lightness skill was, she was still a seven-year-old child. He was very worried about her.
But the truth is, if those outlaws can't beat the master, they might use them to blackmail him after they return.
Since the master arranged for them to leave first, he must be confident that he can defeat the enemy.
Although there were experts among that group, Xin Shun could still tell that, under normal circumstances, if the master had no concerns, they would be no match for him at all.
"Once my husband and the others catch up, I'll make sure he gives Zhen'er a good scolding. Why did she have to be so insensible at a time like this?" Yi Xiaolan said. In her heart, she didn't think Xu Shan would lose.
Having known Xu Shan for so long and lived together for many years, she had witnessed his prowess firsthand. It was fair to say that in the martial arts world, very few could truly overpower Xu Shan.
The fact that he made such a arrangement shows that he was confident.
After grumbling for a bit, Yi Xiaolan quieted down. Two days of continuous travel had left her physically and mentally exhausted. She had never liked this kind of life filled with fighting and constant travel. She never expected that even after her husband and she had retired to the mountains, some people would still come knocking on their door.
They're all after the Heavenly Blade. As long as the Heavenly Blade is in my husband's hands, he'll never have a moment's peace.
Yi Xiaolan fell into deep thought. She had mentioned before that the Heaven-Asking Blade was just a weapon, at most a bit rare. Since they wanted it, she would give it to them. Anyway, her husband no longer cared about the affairs of the martial world, so a blade wasn't that important.
But her usually good-tempered husband actually frowned at her for the first time and told her seriously that he would never hand over the Heaven-Asking Blade.
Yi Xiaolan was a little annoyed. It was just a broken knife.
Their family wasn't short of money; at worst, they could find a top-notch swordsmith to forge a new one. She didn't believe they couldn't create a formidable weapon.
The famous weapons in the martial arts world are not necessarily particularly powerful; it's just that the people who use them have earned them that reputation.
All this fighting and killing in the martial arts world is utterly meaningless.
"Master's wife, will my junior sister be alright?" Chu Yanzhi's voice interrupted Yi Xiaolan's thoughts.
She patted his head and said, "She should be fine. Didn't your Uncle Xin say that her lightness skill is one of the best in the martial arts world? Escaping is no problem for her. She's probably just too worried about your master. This girl always likes to stick close to your master. She was worried, so she ran back. She's still just a child. She's being disobedient at times like this. I hope she won't be a burden to her husband, otherwise..."
Yi Xiaolan's expression darkened, but she thought everything should be alright.
Zhen'er is skilled in light-body techniques and won't implicate her husband.
"No matter what, I'm going to teach that girl a lesson when I run into her. How dare she run around like that at this time? What would I do if something really happened?" Yi Xiaolan's eyes turned red with anger at the thought of what might happen.
Soon, Xin Shun drove his horse-drawn carriage to a small town.
They planned to find a place to stay first. As soon as Yi Xiaolan and Chu Yanzhi got off the carriage, they were stopped by several burly men with malicious expressions on their faces.
Yi Xiaolan had seen countless such lewd gazes before.
Her appearance is truly unmatched in the martial arts world. Whenever she goes out, if she doesn't wear a veil and brings a few powerful guards, all sorts of scoundrels and lowlifes will likely swarm around her.
She met Xu Shan because of this incident, and Xu Shan happened to be passing by and helped her out of the predicament.
That time was actually quite dangerous. The guards she brought were not strong enough. If Xu Shan hadn't appeared, who knows what would have happened.
Yi Xiaolan's temper wasn't exactly good. Although her family wasn't a prominent martial arts family, they were still quite wealthy, and she had never suffered any injustice since childhood.
Being stared at like that, one's expression is bound to be unpleasant. (End of Chapter)
