While on Mount Hua, my mind is at peace!

Chapter 108 Master, Watching the Show

Beside Shenjia Village, in an inconspicuous little mountain valley.

A dilapidated thatched hut nestled deep in a mountain valley, its doors and windows tightly shut, seemingly uninhabited for years. Shen Hui glanced around furtively as she crept closer to the hut. When she was still about ten paces away, a lazy male voice drifted from within:

"Miss Shen, your lightness skill is lacking. Is this all the lightness skill the Heavenly Sword Sect can achieve?"

Shen Hui was slightly deflated and a little unhappy, but she quickly remembered the purpose of her visit and hurriedly said to the thatched hut, "Brother Chen, I've come today to ask you for a favor. Could you help me?"

Brother Chen laughed and said, "Hey, Miss Shen, are you kidding me? I'm being chased and I'm taking refuge here. Although I'm grateful that you introduced me to this place, there's not much I can do to help you."

Shen Hui bit her lip and remained silent. Hearing her silence, Brother Chen said again, "What's wrong? Are you angry? I didn't say anything definitively. Tell me, what do you want me to do?"

Shen Hui said, "I want you to help someone fight."

"Who? Is it your lover?"

Shen Hui blushed slightly, but said, "No...no, he's the leader of the Great Wind Gang, and I...I'm just an outer disciple of the Heavenly Sword Sect. How could he possibly be my lover?"

The thatched hut remained silent for a long time, so long that Shen Hui even thought that her Brother Chen had fallen asleep.

"Hmph... Hahahaha! The leader of the Great Wind Gang! What's his name? What does he look like?"

As Shen Hui recalled, she said, "He said his name was Yue Feng, and he was... very handsome. I've never seen such a handsome man in my life. I wonder which lucky girl will be able to marry him."

Brother Chen said, "No matter who it is, it's not you. The master only has eyes for the most beautiful women. Although you are not bad looking, you are not good enough."

Upon hearing this, Shen Hui was unsure whether to be happy or angry, and was momentarily stunned. Then Brother Chen continued, "The master couldn't possibly know I was here, and naturally, he couldn't have sent you to find me. How did you run into him? Tell me everything quickly."

Shen Hui did as Brother Chen requested. Brother Chen sighed deeply, "A boss is a boss. No matter what, he never forgets his brothers. Although I may not be able to help him much, going to join in the fun and meet him seems like a good idea."

No sooner had Brother Chen finished speaking than the door of the thatched hut opened. Chen Ji, a single-edged sword tucked into his belt, strolled out with an air of nonchalance. Shen Hui looked him over, both surprised and delighted: "Brother Chen, your injuries are completely healed!"

Chen Ji smiled smugly: "I was fully recovered yesterday. I was thinking of seeing you to thank you before I left, but I never expected to encounter such a good thing."

"So, Brother Chen knows that Chief Yue?"

"Know him? Hah. My relationship with my boss is a tangled mess. Enough talk, take me there now! If we're too late, we won't even get any soup."

"oh oh!"

……

Meanwhile, on the other side...

"Master, that guy surnamed Xiao is obviously two-faced. Why don't you teach him a lesson?" Xiong Zhaozhao said to Yun Ruoyu beside her, quite dissatisfied, as she rode her horse.

Yun Ruoyu's beautiful face still wore that cheerful expression: "Oh dear, Zhao'er, don't you know your master? It's already exhausting for me to manage just you; I really can't manage all the others below. What about the matter I asked you to consider before? How are you doing?"

Xiong Zhaozhao said, "Master, you are only in your early twenties, right? Although you are older than me, I'm afraid the elders in the sect will not accept it if you pass on the position of sect leader to me now."

Yun Ruoyu smiled mischievously: "Who asked you that? I was asking about that young hero Feng. Are you satisfied with him?"

"Master!" Xiong Zhaozhao jumped behind Yun Ruoyu and reached out to tickle her. Yun Ruoyu was most afraid of being tickled, and quickly begged for mercy.

The two women frolicked on horseback for a while when they caught a glimpse of people moving about in Shenjia Village ahead. Besides the villagers, there were also many martial arts masters who rarely appeared in this area. The two women stopped and looked at each other in surprise. Xiong Zhaozhao said, "Could it be the Xie family attacking?"

Yun Ruoyu was also worried about this, so she quickly spurred her horse over and saw a handsome young man sitting on a rock from a distance. Her eyes lit up, and she turned to Xiong Zhaozhao and said, "Zhao'er! Look, look! That young man is even more handsome than Young Hero Feng!"

Xiong Zhaozhao was startled to see Yue Feng appear in his true form at the foot of Tianjian Mountain; when she saw the usually arrogant Shi Lin standing before Yue Feng with a humiliated expression, she sensed something was terribly wrong. She rose to dismount, but Yun Ruoyu held her back.

"Zhao'er, I know that young man is very handsome, but you don't need to be in such a hurry, do you? Hmm, the one standing in front of him seems to be Junior Nephew Shi... Could it be that he and Junior Nephew Shi have some kind of connection? Did he start a relationship and then abandon her? Is she pregnant? Tsk tsk tsk... Zhao'er, why does your face look so pale?"

Xiong Zhaozhao ignored Yun Ruoyu and asked a nearby villager for the details. Her expression suddenly turned serious. Yun Ruoyu also sighed softly.

"Senior Sister Ge is getting more and more outrageous. She's been lining her own pockets all these years, and I've never said a word about it. I never expected that she'd even try to take advantage of ordinary people's food now. Once this is over, I'll definitely give her a good talking to."

Xiong Zhaozhao said coldly, "If talking to her were effective, things wouldn't have gotten to this point. Master, just you wait and see, someone will help you solve this problem."

Yun Ruoyu glanced at Yue Feng and shook her head: "This young man was able to subdue Junior Nephew Shi, so his martial arts are certainly not bad. But to defeat Senior Sister Ge, it's not enough to just have high martial arts skills."

"Sigh, since things have already escalated to this point, let's wait and see. I, as your teacher, will not let that young man suffer any loss."

The two waited a while longer, and then a sedan chair slowly made its way from the direction of Tianjian Mountain. Sitting in the chair was a middle-aged woman, none other than Ge Changqing, an elder of the Tianjian Sect. Xiong Zhaozhao spat on the ground and said, "Hmph, what airs! Anyone who didn't know better would think she was a noblewoman from an official family!"

Dozens of Heavenly Sword Sect disciples surrounded the sedan chair, their steps precise and their movements synchronized. As this silent procession reached the outer edge of the crowd, the crowd naturally parted to make way for them. The Heavenly Sword Sect disciples then formed a large circle, surrounding Yue Feng.

The sedan bearers stopped, but the sedan chair didn't touch the ground. Ge Changqing didn't even dare to open his eyes, and said indifferently, "You're Chief Yue of the Great Wind Gang, right? Kneel down and kowtow one hundred and eighty times, then cut off your own arms, and I'll let you go."

Upon hearing this, both the villagers of Shenjia Village and the martial arts figures who had come to join the fun couldn't help but change their expressions. Yun Ruoyu was about to step forward, but Xiong Zhaozhao held her back tightly.

"Master, let's watch a play."
