Chapter 18: Getting Ready 

After a burst of sharp sounds of weapons breaking through the air, all the assassins in the room fell down instantly, leaving only Jia Quan! 

Jia Quan's shock and anger were beyond words. He had spent many years carefully planning this sneak attack, and it was also the biggest mission assigned to him by his superiors! 

Jia Quan was sure to win. He even wondered if he would be appreciated by his superiors and rise to a higher position after successfully completing the task. 

At the beginning, the situation did develop in the direction of his plan. With his familiarity with Ziyue Mountain Villa, he killed everyone in the villa with almost no effort. Lin Yue was already firmly under his control. He never expected that Cheng Yaojin would appear halfway, not only ruining his plan, but also possibly putting his life in danger, because the martial arts of the person who came were much better than his. How could he not be shocked and angry? 

Jia Quan was shocked and angry, and shouted: "Who is coming?" 

Shen Xueqing looked at her and shouted in delight: "Sister!" 

The person who came was tall and slender, wearing a red dress, a veil on her face, holding a sword that shone with cold light, standing there like a ball of fire in the dark night, dazzling and eye-catching. It was Shen Xueqing's sister Shen Yuqing, who she had been waiting for day and night! 

Shen Yuqing smiled at her sister and whispered, "Xue'er, are you okay?" Although the veil covered her face, the concern in her eyes was still obvious. 

Shen Xueqing hurriedly said: "I'm fine, sister, please save Brother Zhu and mother!" 

It is said that since Shen Yuqing came like a celestial being, Zhu San's three souls and seven spirits have long been gone from his body. He stood there in a daze as if struck by lightning, staring straight at Shen Yuqing, completely forgetting that he was still in danger. He did not hear Shen Xueqing's words at all, and only had Shen Yuqing's beautiful figure in his mind! 

Shen Yuqing looked at Zhu San coldly and saw that he was plain-looking, even ugly! 

When Shen Yuqing looked at him, she was shocked by his eyes. Zhu San's eyes revealed not only naked lust, but also extreme obscenity! 

Shen Yuqing thought that she had been in the martial arts world for a long time, and she had killed no less than a hundred rapists under her sword. Although those rapists also stared at her with greedy eyes, she had never felt like she did today! 

Shen Yuqing felt that Zhu San's gaze was as sharp as a knife. It not only penetrated her clothes, but also tore them apart bit by bit. Her smooth and white body seemed to be naked in front of him! 

Shen Yuqing shuddered all over, unconsciously clamped her legs together, raised her hands to barely cover her towering breasts, glared at Zhu San fiercely with her beautiful eyes, and spat: "Shameless!" 

After being scolded by Shen Yuqing, Zhu San finally came to his senses, wiped the saliva from the corner of his mouth, and smiled awkwardly. 

Shen Xueqing hadn't seen Zhu San's wretched appearance just now. Seeing her sister suddenly angry, she was very confused. She looked towards Zhu San unconsciously, but she only saw Zhu San's smiling face. She thought to herself: "Brother Zhu has never offended me! Why is my sister like this? Is it because Brother Zhu is not good-looking?" 

The three of them were thinking their own thoughts, and time seemed to have stopped for a moment. Jia Quan thought Shen Yuqing was scolding him, so he said, "As long as I can get wealth and glory, what's wrong with being a little shameless?" 

Jia Quan put the knife to Shen Yao's neck and threatened: "Get out of the way! Otherwise, don't blame me for being ruthless!" 

Shen Xueqing saw Shen Yao in trouble and blurted out: "Mom!" 

Shen Yuqing was stunned for a moment, looked at Shen Xueqing, and then said to Jia Quan in a cold voice: "Let her go! I will spare your life!" 

Jia Quan said angrily: "Dream on! I won't believe you! Get out of the way! Wait until I leave here safely, or I will kill her now!" 

Shen Yuqing ignored what Jia Quan said and walked slowly towards him. Her eyes shot straight into Jia Quan's heart and she said word by word: "Kill him! Why don't you do it now?" 

Jia Quan was terrified by Shen Yuqing's stare. He didn't know whether to advance or retreat. After thinking for a while, he suddenly pushed Shen Yao forward, took advantage of the momentum and jumped back, escaping. 

Shen Yuqing would not let him escape easily, so she shouted: "Where are you going!" and she dashed away like lightning. 

Zhu San caught Shen Yao and asked with concern: "Are you hurt? Let me take a look!" 

Shen Xueqing also rushed over and asked nervously: "Mom, are you okay? Xueer was scared to death just now!" 

Shen Yao survived the disaster and was hugged tightly by Zhu San and Shen Xueqing. She felt inexplicably moved and sobbed, "Good boy, mother is fine... mother is fine!" 

Shen Yao said softly to Zhu San: "Thank you for coming to my rescue, I really don't know how to repay you!" 

Zhu San laughed loudly and said, "You have already pledged your love to me, what else do you want in return?" 

When Shen Yao heard this, her pretty face immediately turned red. She whispered, "From now on, Yao'er will serve you for the rest of your life..." 

Shen Xueqing said happily: "Xue'er too...Xue'er and mother will serve Brother Zhu together...We will never be separated again!" 

The three of them completely ignored the bodies lying on the ground around them, and had already forgotten the danger just now. At this moment, they were filled with joy and emotion. 

Danger often hides beneath the warm scenes. A vicious look flashed across one of them. He quietly got up, holding a sword in his right hand and a knife in his left, and suddenly attacked the three people, with the knife pointing directly at Shen Yao and her daughter! 

Shen Yao and Shen Xueqing both had their backs to the perpetrator, but Zhu San saw everything clearly and shouted, "Be careful!" 

The murderer was Lin Yue who had just fallen to the ground after being injured. It turned out that he saw that he was no match for his opponent, so he pretended to be injured. Even the knife that pierced his abdomen was just a self-torture trick, which only pierced through his clothes. 

Ziyue Villa was destroyed, Lin Yue was furious and anxious, seeing Shen Yao was still naked and flirting with another man in front of him, Lin Yue was even more furious, so he couldn't help but attack her, he used his left hand to kill Shen Yao, but it was a fake move, and his right hand to stab Shen Xueqing, he knew it was difficult for him to kill these three people, so he made a desperate move, in order to let Shen Yao watch her daughter die with her own eyes! 

Shen Yao and Shen Xueqing were too late to dodge when they heard the shouts. Seeing that he was about to succeed, Lin Yue was secretly delighted and a sinister smile appeared on the corner of his mouth! 

In a flash, Zhu San acted quickly. He waved his arms and pushed the two girls to the sides! 

Lin Yue used all his strength to thrust his sword, which barely grazed Shen Xueqing's slender waist. How could he be willing to accept this? Lin Yue simply made up his mind and thrust his sword straight to the end without slowing down. 

Zhu San knew that Lin Yue would do something bad, but he was powerless and could only watch the tip of the sword pierce his abdomen. He closed his eyes and thought, "It's over! I just got the beauty, and the good days haven't even started, but she's going to see the King of Hell! It's not worth it!" 

In a flash, there was a "clang" sound, and Zhu San felt a pain in his waist. When he opened his eyes, Lin Yue had fallen to the ground with a phoenix tail dart stuck in his neck. A beautiful figure slowly walked in. It was Shen Yuqing who had returned from hunting down Jia Quan. 

It turned out that when Shen Yuqing returned, she happened to catch up with Lin Yue committing a crime. She anxiously fired two phoenix tail darts, one of which knocked Lin Yue's sword off balance, and the other took Lin Yue's life! 

In fact, Shen Yuqing could have left Zhu San unscathed, but she hated Zhu San's obscene gaze, so she deliberately used only half of her strength, not to hurt Zhu San's life, but to let him get a little injured as a punishment! 

Zhu San thought about it and understood Shen Yuqing's thoughts instantly. He ignored the wound on his waist, raised his hands, and said with a smile: "Thank you for saving my life, Zhu will never forget it!" 

Shen Yuqing did not answer, but snorted coldly. Shen Xueqing was extremely anxious and hurried to check Zhu San's wound. Shen Yao was very smart and understood the rift between Zhu San and Shen Yuqing in a moment. Moreover, she was still naked at the moment, so she did not show too much concern for Zhu San. She found a piece of clothing to put on, and tore off a few pieces of cloth and handed them to Shen Xueqing! 

Shen Yuqing was very dissatisfied with his sister being so close to Zhu San, but he did not investigate further because he saw Zhu San risking his life to protect his sister. Now he saw Shen Xueqing not avoiding the suspicion of men and women and caring for Zhu San, and he was angry again and shouted: "Nonsense! Men and women should not be intimate, how can Xueer do this? Don't you worry about being laughed at by others for disregarding your own innocence?" 

Shen Xueqing grew up in the mountains. Before this, besides her master, Shen Yuqing was the one who took the most care of her. Shen Yuqing had always taken good care of her and had never said a harsh word to her, let alone scolding her as loudly as he did now! 

Shen Xueqing was stunned for a moment, and said aggrievedly: "Brother Zhu is injured! I am also worried! Sister, you bullied Xueer... oooo..." She actually started crying! 

Shen Yuqing has been in the martial arts world for many years and has seen many bloody battles. Her heart is much harder than that of ordinary people. She only loves Shen Xueqing very much. Seeing her sister like this, she softened immediately. She walked forward quickly, wiped the tears from Shen Xueqing's face, and said softly: "Okay, okay, Xue'er, don't cry. I was wrong! I shouldn't yell at you!" 

At this moment, the veil on Shen Yuqing's face was blown by the night wind and fell off. Zhu San reached out and grabbed the veil. He couldn't help but take it under his nose and sniffed it, exclaiming: "What a nice smell!" 

Shen Yuqing's face turned cold, and she said coldly: "Give it back to me!" 

Zhu San was immersed in the fragrance and couldn't extricate himself. Hearing Shen Yuqing's words, he hurriedly looked up and handed the veil to her. While passing it, he took the opportunity to take a serious look at Shen Yuqing's appearance. Just now, Zhu San only admired Shen Yuqing's beautiful figure and was fascinated. Now that he really saw Shen Yuqing's beautiful face, he was even more surprised and lost his soul! 

Zhu San felt that Shen Yuqing was as beautiful as a fairy, with eyes as sparkling as cold stars, a straight nose, red lips, skin as smooth as silk, as moist and white as ice and snow, and a heroic spirit between her eyebrows that made people feel awe, just like an elf in the night sky. 

Zhu San sighed, "I never thought there would be such a beautiful person in this world. Xue'er and her daughter are already stunningly beautiful, but compared to her, they are far inferior! Zhu San, oh Zhu San! How can I live my life without this girl?" 

Shen Xueqing was just trying to act like a spoiled brat, but when she heard her sister's soft words of persuasion, she immediately burst into laughter. She pointed at Zhu San and said excitedly, "Sister, this is Brother Zhu, he is... the man who saved Xueer's life!" 

Shen Xueqing wanted to say that it was her sweetheart, but she was shy after all, and she saw that her sister was not friendly to Zhu San, so she swallowed the words that were on the tip of her tongue! 

Shen Yuqing hummed, pointed at Lin Yue who was already dead on the ground and said: "Who is this evil villain? Xue'er, how did you get here?" 

Shen Xueqing said bitterly: "This shameless villain is Lin Yue, the owner of Ziyue Villa, and also my mother's nominal husband. He appears to be righteous on the surface, but in fact he is as vicious as a snake. Fortunately, my sister came today, otherwise I don't know what would happen to Xue'er..." 

Shen Yuqing looked at Shen Yao and said indifferently, "You and your daughter are finally reunited. I guess Xue'er has learned about her life story, right?" 

Shen Yao seemed to be a little afraid of Shen Yuqing. She said timidly, "It's my fault. I made a mistake! But Xue'er has grown up. I think she should know some things!" 

Shen Yuqing glared, as if she wanted to scold him, but seeing Zhu San was there, she had to endure it! 

Shen Xueqing probably guessed the reason for the dispute between her mother and sister, and hurriedly hugged Shen Yuqing's arm and said with a smile: "Okay, okay, let's not pursue these annoying things. Sister, tell me how you came here! Where is the villain who just escaped?" 

Shen Yuqing touched her sister's forehead and said, "It's all because of you. If it weren't for your white horse that reported the news, how could I be here? As for that little thief, he jumped into the sea before I could kill him. I think he must be dead! Xue'er, tell me, did those bandits provoke you?" 

Shen Xueqing then remembered that she was the one who sent the white horse to report the news. She remembered the reason why she reported the news that day and could not help but glance at Zhu San and said hesitantly: "Sister is right, it was indeed the bandits who caused trouble, but this is a long story, let's leave here first! This place is full of bloody smell, it's terrible!" 

Shen Yuqing nodded and said, "As long as you are safe, I have already taught them a lesson for you. The wind and waves are too strong now, I am afraid we will have to stay on this island tonight!" 

Shen Yao interrupted: "Everyone must be tired! Let's go to my room and rest!" 

Shen Yuqing frowned and pointed at Zhu San and said, "Could it be that this guy wants to come with us?" 

Shen Yao said hurriedly: "It's okay, there are a few rooms upstairs, enough to accommodate the four of us, and Master Zhu can have one room each!" 

Shen Xueqing followed suit: "Yes, yes! How can we leave Brother Zhu behind? He is Xueer's lifesaver!" 

Shen Yuqing glanced at Zhu San and said, "Okay! But we are not four people, but five people!" 

Shen Yao asked in confusion: "Where did these five people come from?" 

Shen Yuqing said calmly: "I don't know how to row a boat, so I asked Xiong Batian from Tianhu Village to row the boat to take me here. He is hiding in the boat now! Xue'er, wait here for a while, sister will be back soon!" 

Before he finished speaking, the man had disappeared! 

Zhu San stood by without saying a word. He was observing Shen Yuqing carefully. He knew clearly: "Shen Yuqing has a very bad impression of me. Although Xue'er has repeatedly spoken for me, she has never looked at me straight in the eye. From her skills just now, I don't know how deep she is, but her martial arts skills are definitely far better than Xue'er's. It will be difficult to defeat her!" 

As soon as Shen Yuqing left, Shen Xueqing and Shen Yao both crawled into Zhu San's arms. Shen Xueqing even said coquettishly, "Brother Zhu, please don't be angry. Sister is so mean to you now because she doesn't understand you yet. In fact, she is the best person, even better than Master treats Xue'er!" 

Zhu San smiled meaningfully and said, "Don't be angry! Xue'er, you are right. I should let her get to know me well. After she gets to know me thoroughly, she will definitely discover my strengths! And then she will fall in love with me! Hahahaha!" 

Shen Xueqing was innocent and seemed to understand what Zhu San said, but Shen Yao was shocked. She didn't expect that Zhu San was not satisfied with having her and Xue'er, and actually had feelings for Shen Yuqing! 

Shen Yao was dissatisfied when she saw Zhu San's greed, but she immediately understood: since Zhu San was the descendant of the Crazy Beggar, he must have practiced the devil's lust skills, and his enthusiasm for pursuing beautiful women was a manifestation of his practice of this skill! 

Although Zhu San would naturally share some of his favor with other women, Shen Yao knew that it was impossible for her to enjoy Zhu San's favor alone. If Zhu San could get Shen Yuqing's help, it would be a great help to Zhu San's cultivation. Thinking of this, Shen Yao felt relieved. 

What Shen Yao is worried about now is whether Zhu San can capture Shen Yuqing! 

Zhu San was very thoughtful. Seeing Shen Yao staring blankly at the direction where Shen Yuqing left, he immediately guessed what was in Shen Yao's mind. He hugged Shen Yao tightly, stared into her eyes and said, "Don't worry! I will never treat you and Xue'er unfairly! There will be many places where I can use you in the future! You must work hard!" 

Shen Yao was only wrapped in her coat, and when Zhu San did this, her smooth breasts pressed tightly against Zhu San's hairy chest. The tingling sensation made Shen Yao tremble all over, and her flower hole once again couldn't help but ooze out honey! 

Shen Yao blushed and said: "Yao'er... Yao'er is my person from now on, so I will naturally obey my orders..." 

Zhu San looked at Shen Yao's seductive look and thought to himself: "What a sexy and beautiful woman! I really need to make good use of you in the future!" 

As they were talking, two figures appeared in the distance. Zhu San's eyes were like lightning. He saw Shen Yuqing coming with someone from afar. He quickly let go of the hands that were holding Shen Yao and Shen Xueqing, and whispered: "She's back!" 

As soon as she finished speaking, Shen Yuqing had arrived. She was holding a huge man in one hand and stood on the spot. She said to Zhu San: "This is Xiong Batian. You can sleep in the same room with him! Xue'er, come with me. Sister wants to have a good chat with you tonight!" 

Shen Yao saw that Shen Yuqing didn't take her seriously at all, and she was furious, but she couldn't get angry, so she had to walk quickly in front to lead the way! 

Zhu San took a serious look at the big man, and it was indeed Xiong Batian, the leader of Tianhu Village. He was shocked. Xiong Batian was nine feet tall, with broad shoulders and a round waist, and weighed at least two or three hundred pounds. Shen Yuqing looked like a willow swaying in the wind, and it was effortless for her to carry Xiong Batian, and her speed was so amazing that she reached the top of the hillside of more than a hundred meters in an instant. Zhu San had to re-evaluate Shen Yuqing with this level of cultivation. 

Xiong Batian also recognized Zhu San and said in surprise: "You...you are not that..." 

Zhu San laughed and said, "It's me! Long time no see, Lord Xiong!" 

Shen Yuqing asked in confusion: "Do you...know each other?" 

Zhu San said: "We are all from the same town, of course we know each other! Right? Xiong Village Chief!" 

Although Xiong Batian's brain was not very bright, he could still see that Zhu San had a special relationship with several people at the scene, and Shen Yuqing was very caring towards her sister. He was a pure outsider, so he wisely shut up and just laughed a few times in response! 

Shen Yao was in front, followed by the other four, and soon they reached the upper part of the villa. This was where Lin Yue and Shen Yao rested, and it was also a forbidden area in the villa. Even though Jia Quan had lived on the island for many years, he could not guarantee that he would arrive here safely, but Zhu San was familiar with the route, which must be called luck! 

Shen Yao lit the lamp, looked around and said, "Master Zhu and this brother can stay in the room opposite! The three of us can stay in this room!" 

Zhu San and Xiong Batian naturally had no objection, but Shen Yuqing frowned. She originally wanted to have a good chat with her sister, but she didn't expect Shen Yao to be in the middle. She wanted to refuse, but due to limited conditions, she nodded and agreed! 

Everything that happened tonight was truly thrilling, and everyone was exhausted. Although Xiong Batian hadn't taken action, he had been sailing for several hours without stopping, and was extremely tired, so everyone fell asleep quickly! 

Zhu San woke up very early. It was not because he was energetic, but because the snoring of Xiong Batian beside him was too earth-shattering! 

Although Zhu San snored loudly, he could not hear his own snoring, but Xiong Batian's thunderous snoring was clear to his ears, as if it shook the whole room. How could Zhu San sleep in such an environment? 

Zhu San got up and saw that it was still dark outside. He simply wiped his face and walked out of the house. 

The sun sets in the west and rises in the east. The golden light from the morning sun is crushed in the warm embrace of the ocean, turning into thousands of golden snakes winding and playing on the blue sea! 

Zhu San gazed at the boundless sea, admiring the beautiful scenery. Although he had seen such scenery many times, his mood now was very different from before! 

Besides the beautiful scenery, there are also beautiful women! 

I saw a red figure dancing on the beach in the distance. It turned out to be Shen Yuqing practicing martial arts. Zhu San was intoxicated by her heroic posture for a long time. Zhu San couldn't help but walk down the mountain and headed towards where Shen Yuqing was! 

Shen Yuqing was concentrating on practicing martial arts. She had profound skills and could keenly sense that someone was approaching. She shouted, "Who is it? Stand out!" 

Zhu San wanted to hide behind a big rock to watch her practice, but he didn't expect to be discovered by Shen Yuqing so quickly. He had no choice but to walk out and said, "It's me!" 

When Shen Yuqing saw that it was Zhu San, he said unhappily, "It's you again, you shameless fellow! What are you doing hiding there?" 

Zhu San smiled and said, "Miss Shen, I really don't understand. How can I be shameless? Do you have evidence? And this beach is so big, can't I just go out for a walk?" 

Shen Yuqing was choked by Zhu San and had nothing to say. He could only snort coldly: "From your words and actions, it can be seen that you are a shameless person. There is no need to quibble!" 

Zhu San said noncommittally: "This is just the girl's prejudice against Zhu. If there was no such shameless Zhu, what would have happened to Xue'er is really unpredictable!" 

Shen Yuqing said: "I suspect that you saved Xue'er for some ulterior motive. Xue'er is innocent and can be easily deceived. I would advise Xue'er to stay away from you. If you are sensible, you'd better disappear!" 

Zhu San smiled slyly and said, "I'm afraid you can't decide that! You know, she still has a mother!" 

Shen Yuqing said angrily: "Shut up! Shen Yao is not worthy of being Xue'er's mother. She didn't even raise Xue'er!" 

The two were about to continue arguing when a crisp and sweet voice sounded not far away: "Sister, Brother Zhu, what are you doing there?" 

Shen Yuqing knew it was her sister who came, and a smile suddenly appeared on her cold face, and she responded: "Xue'er, my sister is practicing here!" 

Shen Xueqing trotted over, threw herself into her sister's arms, and said coquettishly: "Sister, Xue'er also wants to practice, sister, teach me!" 

Shen Yuqing said gently: "Okay, okay! Sister will teach you right away!" 

Zhu San knew that it was meaningless to stay any longer, so he bowed and said, "You sisters, practice martial arts! I won't disturb you!" After that, he walked quickly up the mountain! 

Shen Xueqing was puzzled and was about to ask her to stay, but Shen Yuqing grabbed her hand and said, "Xue'er, don't you want to learn? Practice your martial arts for me first and see how you do it!" 

Seeing that Zhu San had left, Shen Xueqing could only nod. 

Shen Yuqing handed the sword to her sister and said, "This sword is exactly what you used to wear. I got it back from the bandits!" 

Shen Xueqing was delighted to see the sword was recovered. She took the sword and started dancing! 

After a while, Shen Xueqing had demonstrated everything she had learned, and she was so exhausted that she was panting and sweating profusely! 

Shen Yuqing shook his head and said, "Xue'er, the 'Thirty-Six Moon-Slashing Swords' you practiced is indeed a superior sword technique, but your internal strength foundation is very shallow. Although you are proficient in the moves, you cannot bring out the true power of the sword technique. It seems that you need to spend more time on internal strength training!" 

Shen Xueqing said coquettishly: "It's so hard to practice internal skills, is there any shortcut? Sister, your martial arts are so high, why don't you teach some to Xueer!" 

Shen Yuqing pinched her sister's nose and said, "Nonsense! There is no shortcut to the right internal strength. It depends on hard work and practice! Only those evil martial arts will go the wrong way. Besides, transferring internal strength is not only extremely exhausting, but if the internal strengths of two people conflict, it will also cause very bad consequences! So you'd better practice obediently! Sister will teach you the breathing method of our sect. This method complements the internal strength you are practicing. As long as you practice diligently, your internal strength will definitely be significantly enhanced!" 

Shen Xueqing was overjoyed when she heard this, and immediately began to practice according to Shen Yuqing's instructions. Shen Yuqing taught her attentively, and in addition to teaching her the mental method, he also taught Shen Xueqing the sword method! 

Time passed quickly, and it was almost noon. The sun was blazing brightly in the sky, and even the fine sand on the beach was shining brightly, making it difficult to open your eyes! 

Seeing that Shen Xueqing was sweating profusely from practicing, Shen Yuqing took out a scented handkerchief to wipe the sweat off Shen Xueqing's forehead, and said, "Okay! It's getting late, Xueer, you've worked hard, let's go back to the room and eat something! Practicing martial arts is not something that can be done overnight!" 

Shen Xueqing hummed, put away her sword, took her sister's arm and walked up the mountain! 

The two sisters walked slowly, Shen Yuqing asked her sister why she came to the island, and Shen Xueqing simply told her what happened. Of course, she again omitted the part about Zhu San raping her, and even helped Zhu San cover it up! 

After listening to his sister's statement, Shen Yuqing said thoughtfully: "According to what my sister said, Zhu San is indeed a rare and righteous man, but why does he always give me the feeling of a lecherous thief?" 

When Shen Xueqing heard the word "rapist", she couldn't help but tremble all over and said hurriedly: "Sister must have seen it wrong! It must be Brother Zhu's appearance that made sister misunderstand!" 

Shen Xueqing paused and continued, "In fact, Xue'er and her sister agreed at first, thinking that Brother Zhu was not a good person, but in the end, Brother Zhu proved with his actions that all this was just Xue'er's prejudice!" 

Seeing her sister repeatedly speaking well of Zhu San, Shen Yuqing asked in confusion, "Could it be that you can't judge a person by his appearance and you can't measure the depth of the sea by a bucket?" 

Shen Xueqing nodded like a chicken pecking at rice, "Yes, yes! That's it! If you don't believe me, you can go ask mother!" 

Shen Yuqing frowned slightly, stared at Shen Xueqing and said, "Xue'er, tell me the truth, are you in love with that vulgar man?" 

Shen Xueqing's face instantly turned red with shame, and she stammered, "It's... not... it's just..." Then she argued again, "Brother Zhu is not a vulgar man! How can you say that about him, sister?" 

Shen Yuqing sighed and said, "It seems that my guess was correct. Xue'er, listen to me and stay away from that Zhu! Based on my many years of experience in the martial arts world, I know he is definitely not a good person!" 

Shen Xueqing said stubbornly: "No! Impossible! Sister, you are prejudiced against Brother Zhu. Although he is a little ugly, he is really good to Xueer. As for what kind of person he is, Xueer doesn't care! Xueer wants to be with Brother Zhu forever!" 

Shen Yuqing scolded him harshly: "What's wrong with you? How can a girl who is still waiting to be married say such shameless words? Did that shameless bitch Shen Yao teach you this?" 

Shen Xueqing shook off her sister's hand and said, "I don't allow you to say that about mother! Although she didn't raise me, she has been suffering for me. You don't even know how much mother has suffered! Why do you slander her!" 

Shen Yuqing was furious and shouted, "She not only brought shame to our Shen family, but also caused our Shen family to be wiped out because of her! You and I have been orphans since we were young, without relatives, and we are all alone. All of this was caused by Shen Yao! What's wrong with me saying this?" 

Shen Xueqing had no idea that there were so many stories behind this. She was scolded by her sister and was dumbfounded. She didn't know how to respond for a moment. Her heart was broken and she burst into tears! 

After letting out all the resentment that had been pent up in her heart for many years, Shen Yuqing immediately regretted it. She looked at the heartbroken Shen Xueqing, and she couldn't comfort or persuade her. She simply hugged Shen Xueqing and cried uncontrollably! 

The two sisters cried for a long time before they stopped. 

Shen Yuqing gently wiped away the tears on her sister's face and said softly, "I'm sorry! I shouldn't have been so mean to you! I thought of the pain in my heart and said something I didn't want to say!" 

Shen Xueqing sobbed and said, "Sister! Xueer knows that you treat her best! But some things are really not what you think!" 

Shen Yuqing nodded and said, "Okay! I promise you that I will re-examine your mother and that Zhu guy to see if it's as you said!" 

Seeing her sister relax, Shen Xueqing immediately burst into laughter and said in a sweet voice: "Sister is indeed the best person to Xueer! Xueer believes that sister will not be disappointed! Let's go back to the room! Mother must be waiting anxiously!" 

The two sisters reconciled and walked towards the room hand in hand. But a person flashed out from a corner behind them and looked at their backs thoughtfully. 

This person was Zhu San. He had long guessed that Shen Yuqing would definitely interrogate Xue'er, so he hid halfway. Because he was afraid of Shen Yuqing's keen sense, he deliberately stayed far away from the two sisters. Because of the magical effect of the treasure book, his hearing was far superior to that of ordinary people. Even if he was dozens of feet away, he could clearly hear the conversation between the two sisters. What's more, the voices of the two sisters quarreling were particularly loud, so he could hear every word! 

Zhu San's mood was mixed. He was happy to see Shen Xueqing finally persuade her sister. He was distressed to see Shen Yuqing's deep hatred for Shen Yao. He was worried again when he thought that Shen Yuqing would definitely keep an eye on his every move during this period! 

After thinking it over, Zhu San had no idea what to do. He could only take it one step at a time. He walked up the mountain in a sullen manner. 

In the room, Shen Yao had already prepared a table full of food and was eagerly waiting for her daughter to return. Xiong Batian was also already starving and had been standing outside the door looking out for a long time! 

Xiong Batian saw Shen Yuqing and her sister coming up the mountain from afar and shouted happily: "They're back! They're back! They're finally back!" 

In a moment, the two sisters arrived at the door. Shen Yuqing asked, "What's going on?" 

Xiong Batian didn't dare to look at Shen Yuqing's face, and lowered his head and said: "I mean, the heroine is finally back! My stomach has been growling with hunger for a long time!" 

Seeing the nine-foot-tall Xiong Batian cowering in front of his sister, Shen Xueqing couldn't help but laugh out loud! 

Shen Yao said, "Xue'er, where have you been? The food is getting cold, let's eat quickly! By the way, where is Mr. Zhu?" 

"I'm here!" Zhu San flashed out from somewhere and responded. 

Shen Yao greeted, "It's good that you're all back! Come in! After dinner, let's discuss leaving the island!" 

Maybe because everyone was hungry, no one objected, and the five of them sat around the table and started eating! 

After eating and drinking, Shen Yao simply packed up and said to Shen Yuqing: "Yu...Miss Shen, it is thanks to you that we are safe this time. Thank you so much!" 

Shen Yuqing said calmly: "I'm not doing this for you, I'm just doing this for Xue'er, no need to be grateful!" 

Seeing the awkward situation, Shen Xueqing hurriedly asked, "Who are these villains? Sister, do you know?" 

Shen Yuqing took out a small jade tablet and said, "This jade tablet belonged to Jia. It fell out when I grabbed his clothes when he jumped into the sea!" 

When everyone took a closer look, they saw a tiger head on the jade plaque, with the word "Rakshasa" engraved on it! 

Shen Yuqing said: "Judging from this jade token, the man surnamed Jia should be from the Luosha Sect! The Luosha Sect is a mysterious sect that has only appeared in the martial arts world in recent years. It acts in secret and has no connection or conflict with the major gangs in the martial arts world. They must have other means to come here with such a big fuss this time!" 

Shen Yao nodded and said, "I heard from the man surnamed Jia that he was originally from Ziyue Villa, but was later expelled from the island. This time he came here for the Lin family's martial arts and treasures!" 

Shen Yuqing said thoughtfully: "It would be fine if the Luosha Cult didn't attack, but once they did, they were so cruel and ruthless, and they acted well-trained. I was careful when I attacked, but when these killers saw that they couldn't escape, they killed themselves at the same time. It can be seen that they must have something poisonous in their mouths, and when the situation was bad, they committed suicide, making it impossible to track them down!" 

Shen Xueqing said: "These people are so cruel and merciless that they don't even spare the elderly, the weak, women and children. They are so cruel! Sister, we must help the people of Ziyue Villa to avenge themselves!" 

Shen Yuqing said solemnly, "This is natural. I'm afraid that the incident at Ziyue Villa is just the beginning. The martial arts world that has been peaceful for many years may be facing a bloody storm again! After we settle things here, Xue'er, you will leave here with me, and we will go and settle accounts with the people of Luosha Sect together!" 

Zhu San and Xiong Batian were not from the underworld, so they did not comment on what the three said! 

Shen Yuqing sighed and said, "Before that, let's bury the dead man of the manor in peace!" 

Shen Yao said: "There are more than 50 people in Ziyue Villa, and we only have five. It will take some effort!" 

Shen Yuqing said: "I have an idea, Xiong Ba Tian!" 

Xiong Batian was in a trance, and when he heard Shen Yuqing's voice, he was startled and said, "Here!" 

Shen Yuqing asked: "How do you think this Ziyue Mountain Villa compares to your Tianhu Village?" 

Xiong Batian looked around and said, "We have everything here, it's definitely better than Tianhu Village!" 

Shen Yuqing nodded and said, "How about I let you take care of this place from now on?" 

Xiong Batian was a little flattered and said, "Okay! Of course! We are the king of the mountain because life is hard. Although we can rob a few passers-by occasionally, we are always worried that the government will come to encircle and suppress us. We are always worried! Although this place has suffered a disaster, it is really a paradise for us!" 

Shen Yao understood what Shen Yuqing meant. If Xue'er left, she would definitely follow her. This huge Ziyue Villa would be abandoned. So she didn't take Shen Yuqing's meddling to heart! 

Shen Yuqing said: "Xiong Batian, go and gather the people from Tianhu Village here quickly. This is your territory from now on!" 

Xiong Batian bowed and said, "Thank you, lady! I am a rough man and I don't know how to say fancy words! Anyway, from now on, I will follow your lead. I will take care of everything here for you!" 

Shen Yao interrupted, "This is the best! Ziyue Villa depends entirely on you and your brothers!" 

Xiong Batian patted his chest and said, "Don't worry! Leave it to me! I'll go right away!" 

Shen Yuqing nodded and said, "Go! Come back soon!" 

Xiong Batian bowed, walked quickly down the mountain, and headed towards the beach! 

Everyone watched Xiong Batian walk away before returning to their rooms and sitting down. Shen Yuqing spoke first, "It will take Xiong Batian at least a day to return. Let's discuss how to deal with the Rakshasa Cult first!" 

Shen Yao said: "I haven't been in the martial arts world for many years, so it's up to you, Miss Shen, to decide how to arrange it!" 

Shen Yuqing said: "The three of you have not yet reached first-rate martial arts. If Xue'er practices diligently, she can protect herself, but the two of you..." 

Shen Yao knew that Shen Yuqing didn't want her to follow him, so she said loudly: "Although my martial arts skills are low, I am the wife of the owner of Ziyue Mountain Villa after all. In the martial arts world, in addition to martial arts, connections are also very important!" 

Shen Xueqing hugged Shen Yuqing's arm and said, "Mother and I have finally reunited. Xue'er doesn't want to be separated again. Sister..." 

Shen Yuqing looked at Shen Yao, then at Zhu San, and suddenly said: "What you just said makes sense and inspired me. I do have an idea, I wonder if you can accept it!" 

Shen Yao asked in confusion: "What's the idea?" 

Shen Yuqing stood up, took two steps and said, "The Rakshasa sect attacked Ziyue Villa for the sake of the unique martial arts, so it is definitely not satisfied with only obtaining the unique martial arts of the Lin family, and will definitely attack other sects! Judging from the means of the Rakshasa sect last night, it will definitely resort to sneak attacks again! As the saying goes, it is easy to dodge a spear but difficult to guard against an arrow from the dark, and it is estimated that it will be difficult for other sects to cope with it if they are caught off guard! And if we want to deal with the Rakshasa sect, we must unite with fellow martial artists, otherwise it will be difficult for the four of us to succeed!" 

Shen Yuqing paused, pointed at Zhu San and said, "If we want to unite with fellow martial artists, we must have a certain reputation and connections in the martial arts world! My idea is to let you pretend to be the owner of Ziyue Mountain Villa!" 

Shen Xueqing stammered, "This might be a little difficult! How can Brother Zhu pretend to be Lin Yue?" 

Shen Yuqing smiled and said, "Ziyue Villa has disappeared from the martial arts world for twenty years. Although its momentum is not the same as before, it is still a great family in the martial arts world. What the owner of the villa said is credible! In addition, the leaders of the major sects in the martial arts world are not familiar with Lin Yue, so they can't tell the truth from the false! Am I right, Madam Lin!" 

Shen Yao's face turned pale when she heard what Mrs. Lin said, "Yes, Lin Yue was seriously injured when he first came out to the martial arts world, so very few people in the martial arts world have seen him!" 

Shen Yuqing said with a hint of sarcasm: "As long as he has the Purple Moon Sword and the seal of the manor owner, who would dare to question his authenticity? And you are the manor owner's wife! I'm just worried that Madam Lin is too shy to agree!" 

Shen Yuqing's purpose was very clear. In addition to what she said, she also had another purpose, which was to let the people in the martial arts world know the relationship between Zhu San and Shen Yao, so that there would be no possibility of anything happening between Zhu San and Shen Xueqing! 

But Shen Yuqing didn't know that Shen Yao and Shen Xueqing had already been Zhu San's people! 

Zhu San, who had been silent all this time, suddenly said, "Okay! I think Ms. Shen's suggestion is very good! I have long wanted to go and see what the Jianghu is like! I'm sorry to have wronged Madam Lin!" 

Seeing that Zhu San had already agreed, Shen Yao could only nod silently, and Shen Xueqing did not express any objection! 

Shen Yuqing didn't expect Zhu San and Shen Yao to agree to this seemingly ridiculous proposal so easily. She was puzzled and could only smile and said, "That's great! Madam Lin, please find the Lin family seal and other items and give them to "Master Lin"!" 

Shen Yuqing deliberately emphasized the words "Master Lin" and kept staring at Shen Yao and Zhu San to see their expressions. To her disappointment, Zhu San seemed to enjoy it and Shen Yao did not shy away! 

Shen Yao followed Shen Yuqing's instructions and quickly found the Lin family seal, and handed it over to Zhu San along with the Tianxiang Dew, the Purple Moon Sword, and the Purple Moon Sword Manual! 

The four of them continued to discuss the details. Shen Yuqing mainly talked about the things to be careful of when traveling in the martial arts world, while Shen Yao mainly talked about the Lin family. They talked until dark. After finishing the meal, Zhu San went back to his room to sleep alone! 

The day dawned early on the island, and Xiong Batian arrived even earlier. He brought all the people from Tianhu Village and told them to bury the victims properly! 

In the remaining days, the villa entered a rest and recuperation phase. Shen Yao arranged the trivial matters in the villa and handed over the keys and other things to Xiong Batian. Shen Xueqing, under the guidance of Shen Yuqing, learned swordsmanship and practiced internal skills. Zhu San also restrained himself wisely. In order to better implement the plan, Shen Yuqing taught Zhu San to learn the Lin family's Purple Moon Swordsmanship! 

Time passed in the blink of an eye. Ten days had passed on the island. All affairs in the village returned to normal. Shen Xueqing's martial arts also improved greatly. What impressed Shen Yuqing even more was Zhu San. She had never expected that Zhu San, who had no martial arts foundation at all, was so gifted that he could learn the Lin family's Purple Moon Sword Technique in just ten days. Although Zhu San only mastered about 20%, it was far more than the level of two years of practice for ordinary people! 

In fact, Shen Yuqing didn't know that Zhu San already had a certain foundation of internal strength because of his practice of "Yin Yang Bliss Ceremony". In addition, he had a good understanding and had watched Lin Yue practice swordsmanship several times, so he could learn the Purple Moon Swordsmanship with half the effort! 

After a few days of rare rest, Shen Yuqing felt that the time was ripe, and Shen Yao packed some valuables. The four of them officially prepared to set off. Xiong Batian personally drove the boat and sent the four of them out to sea. 

Looking at the Ziyue Villa going farther and farther away, Shen Yao suddenly felt nostalgic and murmured, "Ziyue Villa, this place I love and hate at the same time, I don't know when I can return, or will it be a farewell forever?" 

Shen Xueqing was filled with joy. Now her favorite people were by her side, and venturing into the martial arts world was her dream. How could she not be happy? 

Shen Yuqing looked at her sister and said silently in her heart: "Xue'er, I hope you can always be happy like this. Sister will definitely keep the sorrow away from you!" 

Although Zhu San was a little uneasy about the future full of uncertainties, he was more looking forward to it, because he knew that his chance to fulfill his lifelong wish began from here!
