The day Linghu Lan descended the mountain.
The entire Lingshan Sect came to see them off.
Down the mountain, Linghu Lan clasped her hands in greeting to everyone, knelt down and kowtowed three times to Qin Changhe and Lin Wanfeng, then turned and left.
These three heads were what Qin Ying owed Qin Changhe and Lin Wanfeng. In the latter half of her life, she regretted almost every moment how she had become enemies with her parents.
Some debts should never be incurred, because once incurred, there is no chance of repayment.
This time, she defeated Qin Changhe fair and square, and earned the opportunity to leave the mountain on her own, so she should have no regrets.
Linghu Lan walked very fast, and after turning a corner, she disappeared from everyone's sight.
Qin Changhe and Lin Wanfeng turned and walked up the mountain, feeling a mix of joy, worry, and disappointment.
Qin Changhe is a typical strict father. He values the code of honor in the martial arts world and clearly distinguishes between good and evil. He also loves Qin Ying deeply, but he is unwilling to express it.
Both he and Lin Wanfeng were chivalrous individuals, with straightforward and uninhibited personalities. After a period of sadness, they turned and went back up the mountain.
Before leaving, Lin Wanfeng thought that these disciples rarely came down the mountain. Since they had already come down the mountain today, he might as well let them go down the mountain and play for a while.
The disciples were naturally delighted, and several of them rushed down the mountain to the market.
"I wonder if I can catch up with my junior sister now?"
"Just keep chasing and you'll see!"
The group used their lightness skills to head towards the place where Linghu Lan had left, but after chasing for a while, they still couldn't find Linghu Lan.
Everyone felt a sense of loss: it turned out that their junior sister's martial arts skills had become so formidable that they couldn't catch up with her at all.
This greatly increased his interest in going down the mountain for sightseeing, and before long he returned to the mountain to continue practicing his sword.
Everyone harbored a burning ambition: one day they would catch up with their junior sister and descend the mountain openly and legitimately.
...
In a small shop.
Linghu Lan finally stopped.
She had been walking for a long time and was thirsty, so she wanted to stop and have a drink of water. This was her first time going down the mountain, wandering the world with a sword, and being a female knight-errant. The feeling was really pretty awesome!
What she wants to do now is to find the Canghai Sect, which stabbed Qin Ying back then, and avenge that sword wound.
Back then, the Canghai Sect was in turmoil. Two disciples who had been expelled from the sect returned to seek revenge. They instigated several senior but powerless uncles in the sect to join forces and not only killed the sect leader and his wife, but also tried to kill the sect leader's daughter.
The girl was only six or seven years old, with exceptionally beautiful, dark eyes like black grapes.
Qin Ying accidentally stumbled in and discovered it was an internal conflict within the sect. She didn't really want to get involved, as it was a matter for the Canghai Sect itself, and even her father wouldn't support her getting involved.
However, if there is a grudge, one should seek revenge on her parents. This girl is innocent; to kill even a vulnerable woman is truly inhumane.
Perhaps those people knew that killing such a little girl would damage their reputation, so they ordered one of their disciples to stab the girl to death with a sword to settle the matter.
Qin Ying immediately rushed down from her hiding place, grabbed the girl, and leaped out.
Upon seeing an outsider barge in, the people of Canghai Sect disregarded everything else and several experts immediately surrounded Qin Ying.
Qin Ying's swordsmanship was only half-baked, and she was stabbed after only a few moves. In the end, she not only failed to save the girl, but also took a heavy blow to the chest and almost died. It was Jin Wuyou who jumped out and saved her.
Linghu Lan's purpose this time was to go to Canghai Sect to see if those two traitors had taken the position of sect leader.
She walked into the small shop.
There was no one in the store.
She glanced around and smiled. "Waiter, bring the wine!"
"Sir, you're here!" A man hurried out from inside and greeted Linghu Lan.
As she poured the wine, Linghu Lan lightly flicked her longsword to stop the waiter's hand, and said with a smile, "Waiter, you've killed someone and you're still pouring wine, how dedicated!"
The man glanced at a bloodstain on his hand that he hadn't wiped clean, realizing that his plan had been exposed. He immediately drew his sword and stabbed at Linghu Lan.
Linghu Lan didn't draw her sword, but instead flicked the scabbard to open the man's hand. With a swift movement of her wrist, the scabbard struck the man's face with a "smack," causing blood to flow from his nose and a dent in his face. He was knocked unconscious.
Linghu Lan got up and followed the trail of blood inside. On the ground, she saw the unconscious shopkeeper, the young waiter, and another waiter who had been killed. Further inside, she lifted a curtain.
Then they saw a handsome man with delicate features tied to the bed.
Seeing Linghu Lan enter with her sword, the man tried to put on a smile that could charm a young woman, and said, "Heroine, spare my life!"
