Ye Xin didn’t take the little episode just now to heart, because the drawbridge of Lanyue Castle had started to be lowered.
After the drawbridge was lowered, a middle-aged man emerged from the fort. He had thick eyebrows and large eyes, and was a burly figure. He twirled his beard and approached the crowd with an indifferent expression.
The man cupped his left hand in a fist, placed his right hand on top of it, and saluted everyone present. "My name is Ouyang Wenshan, and I respectfully welcome you all."
Everyone on the field bowed and called out "Alliance Leader Ouyang" in unison.
"Everyone is tired from the journey. We have prepared fine wine and delicious food in the castle. Before the martial arts conference begins, I hope you will take a good rest."
Ouyang Wenshan curved his eyes, stretched out his right hand, and made a gesture of invitation.
The old man was the first to walk onto the suspension bridge. When he passed Ouyang Wenshan, he greeted him politely.
The others followed, but when it was Ye Xin's turn, Ouyang Wenshan unexpectedly called her over.
"Miss, I see you're not familiar with me. May I ask which school of martial arts you trained in?"
Ye Xin had no choice but to stop. Why did everyone have to ask her this question? If she had known this would happen, she might as well have just flown into the castle.
"Alliance Leader Ouyang, I have long heard of your great name. I do not belong to any sect and came here alone."
Ouyang Wenshan smiled apologetically and made a gesture of invitation, "In that case, I will not bother you any more, please."
Ye Xin shrugged and strode onto the creaking suspension bridge.
When she was halfway there, she was suddenly bumped on the shoulder, and she lost her balance and stepped on the broken wooden planks.
“Bang!”
The two thick wooden boards broke with a sound, and broke into several pieces and fell into the river below.
Ye Xin quickly grabbed the rope beside her and rolled sideways onto the intact wooden board. She looked at the man who had bumped into her, a dark light flashing in her eyes, "You bumped into me?"
The man who was being stared at strode over, looked Ye Xin up and down before smiling disapprovingly, "I did it. I didn't expect a little girl like you to have some skills."
Ye Xin loosened the rope and slowly pinched her knuckles. "If that's the case, just admit it. Otherwise, I don't want others to say that I bullied you."
"What's the meaning?"
The man felt Ye Xin's aura, his face changed, and he looked at her with caution.
"That's right, you asked for it."
Ye Xin quickly stretched out a hand and pressed on the man's shoulder that hit her. She exerted force with her fingers, and with a "click", the man's shoulder was removed.
Before the man could react, Ye Xin raised her middle finger at him and turned away.
After a while, a sharp pain came from the man's shoulder. The man realized it belatedly and let out a scream.
“Ah~”
What happened on the suspension bridge was seen by everyone, and they were all amazed at Ye Xin's skills!
With such a quick reaction, could this woman be good at martial arts?
.............
Ever since Ye Xin taught the man on the suspension bridge a lesson, no one bothered her until she entered the castle.
There are still two days before the martial arts conference begins, and about a few hundred people have already arrived in the castle.
Ye Xin and the group of veiled women were arranged to stay in a guest house with six or seven rooms, which was more than enough for them to live in.
Ye Xin had no requirements for the living environment, so she let the group of women choose first.
Their leader didn't bother to be polite with Ye Xin. He picked out two large rooms and one small room and arranged the people in.
At this time, there were four empty rooms left in the yard. Ye Xin pushed open a room and walked in.
Only after she entered was the window of the room opposite her closed.
"Big Sister, that woman just now was so powerful that Lei Yong was actually injured by her. This really gave us a chance to vent our anger."
The person who spoke was the woman who closed the window. When they were still on the shore, she had noticed her as soon as Ye Xin came out.
It was the first time she saw a woman going out without a veil. She was thinking about whether to go up and make some friends with her when the drawbridge of the fortress was lowered.
Later, she walked to the gate of the fortress and saw the woman taking off Lei Yong's shoulders on the suspension bridge. She felt so relieved.
Lei Yong is a well-known strongman in the martial arts world. With his natural strength, he wields a meteor hammer with great power.
Also because of his natural strength, he never looked down on women. Whenever a woman came in front of him, he would go up and tease her.
This time, before Ye Xin came, Lei Yong had already teased them. If her senior sister hadn't stopped him, she would have chopped off Lei Yong's hand.
"In that case, let's prepare well for the martial arts competition in two days. Lei Yong is injured this time, so if we meet him, we won't have to be polite."
The person called Big Sister is the woman who is choosing a room in the yard. Her real name is Bao Nian. She is the leader of this competition and it is also her first time to participate in the martial arts conference.
When facing Lei Yong’s provocation before, it was not that she did not allow her junior sisters to take action, but that the master had specifically instructed them before they set out.
They should keep a low profile and avoid fighting if possible before the martial arts competition begins. The main purpose of this competition is to practice, and they must not make enemies.
Although there was a rule against killing people during martial arts competitions, they were worried about potential mischief. This was also their first time down the mountain, and it would be bad if they got into trouble.
That's why Bao Nian asked his junior sister to be patient and wait until the competition started before taking action. At that time, the true results would be revealed on the fighting stage. If they were really inferior to others in skills, they would lose with conviction.
"Senior Sister, I understand."
Ye Xin heard everything the two of them said. She pinched her hands and for the first time felt that she had been too gentle.
