I just want to repair a flute [Martial Arts]

A crescent moon rose to the middle of the sky. Clouds appeared from the mountains and fire rose.

The sound of wind and insects was heard all around him. As night fell, the high mountains in the distance seemed to merge into some strange barrier, trapping him in a thick darkness. He played with the Snow Phoenix Ice King Flute hanging neatly around his waist and leaned back against the cold stone.

Xiao Donglou likes the moon very much.

Of course, he was a person who loved life, he liked flowers, birds, tea, chess, and food. When he traveled, it was customary for more than 30 people to follow around the carriage to take care of his life. Among these more than 30 people, four were cooks, and two were royal chefs from the palace. Although he was a half-dead man, he lived a life more carefree than a god.

I wonder if the moonlight scattered on the waterfall at home at this moment is the same as what he sees?

Yun Chuxiu sighed, raised his flute to his lips, and played a long and bleak tune like the night wind. Under his flute sound, even the chirping of insects around him became low, as if they were bowing down to his flute sound and gently catering to him. He put down the flute only when the song ended, and whispered: "Come here, you are standing in the wind, don't you feel cold?"

A woman came out of the dark woods. She was holding a lantern in her hand, and her face was still covered with a veil. She was the girl who had discovered his whereabouts during the day. She said coldly, "You should go back."

"Did she ask you to come find me?" Yun Chuxiu asked her. She replied in a serious tone, "She has left today. But it's useless for you to stay here. You can't leave."

After spending a whole day searching around, Yun Chuxiu was certain that the mountains here were a natural maze that hid the entire valley. If there was no one in the valley to lead the way, it would be extremely difficult to escape. He could only sigh secretly that Li Zixi was not by his side. If he was there, what could a mere maze do to him?
However, the girl's words that the witch had already left made Yun Chuxiu's heart move. He realized that she was not following orders, but came to ask him to go back on her own. He couldn't help but said with emotion: "Thank you, young lady. I will go back by myself. You'd better not go with me."

However, the girl did not leave, but sat down by the fire. The flickering firelight cast a faint shadow on her veil, and at first glance, she looked like a faceless female ghost.

Yun Chuxiu: "..." How horrible! Would a normal person cover their entire face? !

But when he was studying medicine everywhere, he had seen strange patients who could not even get a bit of sunlight and had to live in darkness. Perhaps this girl had the same illness?

While he was daydreaming, the other party suddenly asked, "I heard that you are a doctor?"

Yun Chuxiu wanted to refute reflexively, but after thinking about it, he nodded and admitted: "Yes." Anyway, there was no point in him not admitting it. Maybe having multiple identities could provide him with more paths?

The girl said: "Then you couldn't cure the poison in my senior sister." The senior sister she referred to could only be Liu Wumei.

Yun Chuxiu had no choice but to refute: "There is no poison in her body. How do you want me to detoxify her? Besides, even if my medical skills are not good, I have not done her any wrong. Why did she bring me here?! Wait..."

After thinking for a while, he suddenly understood: "Could it be that sending me here was her backup plan? So, that beautiful woman was the one who poisoned her?!"

The girl didn't say anything, just taking it as her acquiescence. Yun Chuxiu looked at her and couldn't help asking, "Liu Wumei is your senior sister. Are you here because this is your sect? So... the person who poisoned Liu Wumei and asked her to capture me is your master?"

Hearing this, the girl's heart suddenly arose with a sharp pain. Although her expression was tightly covered by the veil, Yun Chuxiu was not the kind of person who judged others' inner thoughts by their expressions, so he couldn't help but strike while the iron was hot and asked: "Can I see your face?" The girl was asked this question by him out of the blue, and her anger immediately turned into murderous intent. Yun Chuxiu was more and more certain that she had a wound on her face, so she didn't want to see anyone. However, he estimated the fighting power of both sides and was not afraid like he was facing other people. Instead, he said calmly: "Since you know that I am a doctor, you should understand that your sister asked me for help at first because she had a glimmer of hope that I could remove the poison in her body, so that she would no longer have to be controlled by your master. And if I didn't have some ability, how could she have such a hope?"

But the girl sneered twice, but didn't seem to care about his persuasion. She just said sternly: "What a sharp tongue! Unfortunately, what you need is not such a eloquent mouth, but a pair of eyes that can bear it! Because what you are about to see is the ugliest woman in the world! It is my Qu Wurong's face!"

She raised her hand and lifted the veil. Yun Chuxiu stared at her face, and for a moment, he really felt like he was in hell - what kind of face was that! This girl with a fairy-like figure had a devil-like terrifying face!

There was not an inch of smooth and intact skin on this face. The whole face was like an uneven hill, with no facial features, no contours, nothing. There was only ugly, red flesh and blood, surrounding a pair of still glowing eyes.

"...If this makes you feel uncomfortable, you can put the veil back on." Yun Chuxiu said this after hesitating for a moment. He still looked straight at the other person, and Qu Wurong sneered and asked him: "I'm afraid you are the one who can't stand it? Do you want to vomit? Why do you have to act so reluctantly!"

The murderous intent in her heart did not decrease but increased, and she was on the verge of exploding at any time. Yun Chuxiu thought for a long time before telling her seriously: "The person who destroyed your face must be jealous of you and hate you from the bottom of his heart. The reason why she is jealous of you is naturally because she is not as good as you. Because she can't compare to you no matter what, she can only resort to this last resort and destroy you."

"But as long as you don't admit defeat, you won't lose to her." He reached out and held Qu Wurong's hand, but the other party shook his hand away as if he had been electrocuted. "Appearance is definitely not everything about a person. If it were, why would God give people completely different appearances? You should believe in yourself. Beauty is in the bones, not in the skin. Only character will last forever in this world."

"Character?" Qu Wurong looked at his face that was almost dazzlingly beautiful under the moonlight, and couldn't help but sneered and said, "If you have character, why do you always pretend to be a woman? You probably don't know, if there were no lack of martial arts masters around you, how many people would have wanted to take advantage of you, not to mention why do you think Master asked Senior Sister to bring you here?"

She said maliciously: "If you were not a man, you would have become the same as me by now!" That's why she was so angry and hostile. When people are in pain, don't they always hope that others will suffer as much as they do?
Yun Chuxiu also understood this truth, and he did not argue about it, because luck is also a part of a person's strength. He just said: "Did you see those men sweeping the floor? Don't you understand that even if you lose your looks, you are still a person, but if you lose your self-esteem, what are you surviving for? Everyone has their own bottom line, I just hope that you don't lose your bottom line."

Qu Wurong suppressed his emotions and said, "Just protect yourself first. How long can you hold on without becoming like those people?"

Yun Chuxiu asked her: "Your master treated you like this, don't you want to leave here?"

All he got was a cold look: "Don't waste your time. Even if I want to leave, I can't leave with someone whose martial arts skills are not as good as mine."

Yun Chuxiu: "..." Damn it, if I had known I would not have slacked off when I was learning martial arts. Why is this world so scary? Everyone's martial arts is better than mine.

Of course, reality is so cruel. That night, he followed Qu Wurong back to Shi Guanyin's residence. The good news is that Shi Guanyin never came back, and she didn't show up in the next few days. The bad news is that even if he had a few more days to find a way out, he still didn't find anything. Although he tried to get close to a few other girls here, they were obviously Shi Guanyin's slaves and didn't dare to resist any decision of this witch.

Who would have thought that the disfigured Qu Wuron was actually the most assertive one among them!
"If it really doesn't work, should I call Taohualin out..." Yun Chuxiu muttered quietly while hiding in a corner of the cave and thinking about the next move. His only concern now was that Yaoyao was still in the Sun Mansion. Who knew what Yuan Suiyun would do to her after he came back? She was very stubborn and must be looking for him like crazy at this time. Who knew how much trouble she would bring to herself.

"So, is there anyone who came to see me?!" It doesn't matter who comes, as long as there is someone, there will be hope! After being in a dilemma for a while, Yun Chuxiu couldn't think of a good solution. He sniffed and felt like crying.

——However, maybe the heaven heard his prayers, but in the afternoon of that day, he received a huge surprise: Shi Guanyin had captured three new people. Although he didn't recognize two of them, he was very familiar with the last one, wasn't this Lu Xiaofeng with two eyebrows!
