...
Murong Fu gazed at the girl with tender affection: "Do you like me?"
"I...I don't know."
The girl hesitated, unsure how to respond.
Murong Fu continued, "Then do you hate me?"
The girl shook her head blankly: "I...don't dislike it."
Murong Fu said, "That means I like it."
Is this what liking someone is?
The girl's heart raced, her face flushed, and she stared intently at his handsome face.
Unlike Duan Yu, who is a pretty boy, Murong Fu has a chiseled face and exudes masculinity, giving people a strong sense of security.
"My wife."
"ah?"
The girl was once again bewildered upon hearing Murong Fu's shout.
“Since you have not refused to be my husband, from now on you will be my wife, Li Feiyu’s wife.” Murong Fu embraced the girl and looked down at her. “This young master Duan is our witness.”
Duan Yu: "..."
The girl murmured foolishly, "Husband... my lord..."
Murong Fu asked, "My lady, what is your name?"
Although I had already guessed the girl's identity, the proper procedures still had to be followed.
The girl said shyly, "My name is Zhong Ling."
Murong Fu said affectionately, "You are a woman of exceptional beauty and talent, innocent and charming, whose beauty rivals the moon and shames the flowers. You are just as beautiful as your name suggests, my wife."
The girl blushed at his words and buried her head in his arms.
"Hey, don't block the way."
Suddenly, someone spoiled the mood and asked a question.
Without turning his head, Murong Fu shot out a willow-leaf throwing knife, piercing the man's throat.
"Ah! Sarilang!"
Duan Yu screamed in fright, his voice distorted with fear.
But suddenly, he covered his mouth in fear, because he saw Murong Fu take out another willow-leaf knife and point it at him.
Seeing that Duan Yu had stopped shouting, Murong Fu glared at him, then put his arm around Zhong Ling's slender waist and walked briskly up the mountain.
Zhong Ling's body stiffened as she nestled in Murong Fu's arms. Although she felt somewhat uncomfortable, she did not resist.
Duan Yu stood there, stunned, feeling as if his soul had been cleansed.
After a while.
"Boy, you killed our elder?"
"I've lived most of my life and this is the first time I've seen someone so arrogant. He killed people and didn't leave; he was waiting for us. He's definitely provoking our Shennong Gang!"
"Don't be impulsive. This kid has such courage, his martial arts skills must be quite good!"
A group of people surrounded Duan Yu.
"Ah? No! I didn't do it. I'm just a weak scholar."
Duan Yu waved his hands repeatedly, offering a flustered explanation.
"You didn't do it? You're the only one here, the body is right next to you, and you're saying you didn't do it?"
"Master, Elder Meng died from a willow leaf flying knife, killed instantly. This kid is a master of hidden weapons."
"Hiss! Everyone be careful!"
After examining the body, the group was startled again, and their gazes toward Duan Yu changed.
Duan Yu was almost in tears. "Do I look like a master?"
The leader warned, "Surrender obediently, or you'll suffer a terrible death."
"..." Duan Yu looked miserable. Did I resist?
One of the gang members brandished a knife and charged forward, shouting, "Kill them!"
Duan Yu was so frightened that he backed away repeatedly, tripped over a stone, and his index finger pointed right at the gang member.
In an instant.
The man's brow was pierced by an invisible force, causing him to fall straight down, bleeding profusely.
"What a fast hidden weapon! Everyone be careful!"
"How arrogant! They dared to kill someone in front of so many of us!"
The members of the Shennong Gang were stunned and took a few steps back.
Duan Yu was also stunned. What happened? How could this person be dead?
He tried pointing at someone randomly with his finger.
The next moment.
Another invisible burst of energy pierced through the man's body.
"He's a master! Get out of the way!"
"Kid, don't be so arrogant!"
The crowd was so frightened that they all scrambled to find cover and hid behind trees.
Duan Yu looked down at his fingers. Could it be that his comprehension was extraordinary and he had mastered the family's secret technique, One-Finger Divine Skill?
"You just wait, kid! You'll be sorry!"
After much hesitation, the members of the Shennong Gang decided to flee first, reasoning that as long as they survived, they could always rebuild.
Moreover, they have other important tasks to complete, and they can't let this kid delay their important mission!
Duan Yu scratched his head in bewilderment. The events of the day were too surreal, leaving him somewhat at a loss.
He realized in a moment that he should not stay here for long. If other people came, wouldn't they think he was the murderer again?
Duan Yu hurriedly ran away, but because he was running so fast, he stumbled and fell.
On the treetops in the distance.
Murong Fu, with Zhong Ling in his arms, witnessed everything.
Zhong Ling asked, puzzled, "Li Lang, why are you helping this idiot?"
“You Central Plains people have an old saying, ‘A drop of water in need should be repaid with a spring of water.’” Murong Fu explained in a serious tone, “If it weren’t for him, we wouldn’t have met, gotten to know each other, and fallen in love. He is the witness to our love.”
"Hmm~"
Hearing the ambiguous words, Zhong Ling lowered her head shyly.
Murong Fu pinched her fair chin, looked into her eyes, and said affectionately, "Ling'er, from now on you will call me husband, not Li Lang."
"My husband..."
Zhong Ling's bones melted, and her pretty face flushed crimson.
...
Sword Lake Palace is the foundation of the Boundless Sword Sect.
In earlier years, after the sects were divided into three factions—East, North, and West—disciples from the three factions would compete in sword fighting at Sword Lake Palace every five years. The winning faction would reside at Sword Lake Palace for five years, and the competition would resume in the sixth year.
Later, the Northern School migrated to Shanxi, leaving only the Eastern and Western Schools vying for Jianhu Palace.
Every time there is a sword duel, the Wuliang Sword Sect will invite some renowned figures in the martial arts world to witness it.
