Female martial arts fanatics only love to fight, while men fight for their lives.

Chapter 149 Meeting at the Shallows

All the evidence is specious and cannot convict Mo Jingchun, but it cannot be separated from him.

Lou Xiao ran for a whole day without any definite result. She walked slowly along the river bank facing the sunset.

He picked a bunch of wild flowers, squeezed them in his hands, and then threw them into the river, letting them float away with the waves.

There are villagers returning home after finishing their farm work by the river.

Lead the buffalo to the river bank, wash off the mud on its legs and feet, then loosen the rope and let the buffalo soak its body.

The farmer wearing a bamboo hat sat on the bank, humming a song under the tree as the sun set.

No tune, just leisurely and comfortable.

Lou Xiao sat on the shallow pebble beach, took off her shoes, soaked her feet and was in a daze for a while. A school of fish in the water, no bigger than a finger, gathered tentatively.

The sound of horse hooves behind him frightened Xiao Yuer so much that he disappeared instantly.

Lou Xiao looked up and saw a team of carriages coming slowly.

Hearing the teasing voices, I knew that this team of horse carriages were not serious people.

Just as I was thinking about it, an old farmer next to me stepped into the water barefoot, stirring up the silt on the shallows and making the river water turbid.

Lou Xiao quickly pulled her foot out and stepped on the stone, not knowing why he did this.

"Tsk, another group of prostitutes."

The old farmer sneered at the team of carriages in a moderately loud voice, "Why do you want to do this for a living when you can do anything else? You have no shame."

It would have been better if he hadn't said anything, but as soon as he opened his mouth he attracted the attention of the people in the carriage.

A team of carriages actually stopped at the ford. The horses snorted and people in the carriages whispered, but no one got out.

Even though Lou Xiao was far away, she could still smell the fragrance.

The old farmer waded out of the water with a "pfft" sound, washed his muddy legs and feet, put on his straw sandals, and walked away.

While Lou Xiao was still hesitating whether to leave, a young man came down from the carriage and shouted at her,

"Hey! Girl, is this the way to Yunsu?"

Lou Xiao shook her head, "I don't know."

I thought that was the end of it, but unexpectedly, several beautiful young men and women came down from the carriages.

They were all wearing fashionable clothes, wearing colorful hair accessories, and were chattering and joking with each other.

Lou Xiao seemed like a passerby who didn't fit in. If she wanted to leave, she had to walk through them. If she didn't leave, she didn't know how long they would play.

"It's been such a tiring journey, and there's not even a teahouse to rest. Dear sister, do you have any water? I'm dying of thirst!"

A boy and a girl came from the left and right, and they were very affectionate around Lou Xiao.

She walked out from Xiao Zhengdu's place in the middle of the night, wearing all black but without any other clothes.

Asking her for water was just an excuse.

Lou Xiao had a feeling that something was not right, so she didn't say anything. She just quietly observed their steps while putting on her shoes.

All of them are martial artists.

"Sister is pretty, why doesn't she want to talk to us? Do you dislike us for talking too much?"

Most people who come over for no reason have bad intentions.

Lou Xiao stood up and was about to leave. He glanced around and saw that there were obviously people sitting in the carriage, and there were also people practicing martial arts inside.

It’s weird.

As if they sensed her gaze, when the curtain of a carriage was lifted, the chattering men and women who were staring at her with sparkling eyes immediately stopped talking and stood up with respectful expressions.

One of them lowered his body and stepped forward. A hand reached out from inside the carriage and pressed on his shoulder.

Then a blue bird feather crown appeared on her hair, a pair of upturned eyebrows and eyes, sparkling, and slanting branches and flowers covered her face.

It is difficult to tell whether a man or a woman is evil and alluring.

The other person looked straight at her, and his eyes were not bad.

After getting off the carriage, Lou Xiao discovered that he was taller than the other boys present, but he was thin and had a waist as slender as a willow.

It’s really hard to say whether it’s a boy or a girl.

The other person's eyes were too intense, with a bit of scrutiny and interest.

Not very friendly, but also slightly aggressive.

Lou Xiao felt uncomfortable, so she nodded politely and was about to leave.

But I heard a voice behind me, "Stop."

Who is it? If I tell her to stop, she will stop. There is no way she will listen to me.

She is a soft-hearted person, and her indifferent attitude makes people angry.

Without any instructions, someone shouted,

"How dare you disobey my master's order?" After saying that, seeing that Lou Xiao didn't even turn her head, he drew the soft sword from his waist and attacked her.

Lou Xiao finally turned around after hearing the sound of breaking air. The soft and shiny silver sword was about to hit her face.

She dodged to the side.

Another round of sweeping blows followed. Lou Xiao leaned back, pushed his feet, and retreated several steps.

All her attacks were in vain. She was too lazy to even fight back. She patted his shoulders and picked up a half-man-high weed by the roadside and chewed it.

He walked forward with his back to them, not afraid of their plotting against him at all.

The woman holding the soft sword turned around to look at her master, and when she saw her master's eyelids droop, she retreated consciously.

"Good move. Go."

The voice beneath the mask was as deep as a musical instrument, but it was also a bit chilly.

Soon, a sturdy man rushed forward from behind with a completely different posture.

There was bloodshot in his eyes, filled with murderous intent, and he was determined to kill anyone who dared to disregard his master in a fight to the death.

This actually made Lou Xiao a little interested. She bit the tip of grass from the left to the right.

Unlike dodging just now, he raised his hand and collided with the opponent's body in a pure competition of strength.

This person is not the one who just showed off his skills.

With just one palm strike, she had a basic understanding of each other's abilities. The other party had a solid foundation and had practiced martial arts since childhood like her.

He just used deadly moves at every step, with no intention of sparring at all. He didn't know the rules of martial arts and didn't act like a martial artist.

It seems more like a killer trained by someone, without his own will.

There is not much point in fighting like this. Lou Xiao pushed the opponent a few steps away. If he attacks again, he will use his legs and feet and kick him without knowing how hard he is.

She showed mercy, but the other party was eager to kill.

She was forced to start hitting harder, changing her tactics and using more force.

She turned her body and hit the opponent's temple with her elbow. If the opponent hits, it will not be her who dies.

She was ruthless, and she called the person back with just one word.

Even if she slapped him and made him spit out blood, he was determined to obey her orders.

This time Lou Xiao was unhappy.

"If you want to fight, do it quickly. If you don't want to fight, don't bother me."

She didn't provoke anyone, why is she doing this?

"We are no match for you. I am sorry, knight."

The woman holding the soft sword bowed her head and apologized, but their master was still staring at her, without changing at all.

Lou Xiao was not the type to refuse to give in. Besides, she had agreed to go back. Otherwise, if it was too late, Xiao Zhengdu would probably be sarcastic again.

She was too lazy to care about it and just thought that some martial arts sect was treating her as a soft persimmon, and when they found out that they couldn't squeeze her, they gave in. So she let the matter go.

"Never mind, it's troublesome."

Lou Xiao stood up, jumped up and climbed to the top of the tree.

Stepping on a branch, he floated away with the breeze.

On the quiet shallows, everyone stood in silence. The masked man was not angry at his men's incompetence.

Asked, "How is it, have you figured out what to do?"
