Inside the library.

A faint, lingering sandalwood fragrance permeated the air; it was from the Crimson Pearl Purple Sandalwood of the South China Sea, known for its calming and tranquilizing properties. A piece the size of a palm was worth a fortune.

The yak candles used for lighting originated from Tibet. They are eternal lamps offered to Buddha in esoteric Buddhism. Once lit, they cannot be extinguished by the wind. A single candle, as thick as a child's arm, can burn for a day and a night, illuminating the entire attic with exceptional brightness.

Yue Lingshan sat on the soft stool with her little feet crossed, her slender, fair hands supporting her delicate chin. Her bright, sparkling eyes shimmered as she gazed intently at the figure leaning over the desk, as if there was nothing else in the world but him.

Sudden.

Qian Chen paused for a moment, then slowly sat up straight.

Yue Lingshan stood up as if electrocuted, transforming into a fragrant breeze to Qian Chen's side: "What are your orders, young master?"

Qian Chen chuckled softly, casually tossed the wolf-hair brush in his hand onto the desk, and looked up at the window in the attic.

"Interesting! A real clown has arrived!"

Yue Lingshan realized this too late.

Looking up and following Qian Chen's gaze, a dark figure was clearly visible behind the attic window, already alerted.

She frowned, and said in a sharp, delicate voice, "Where did this little thief come from? How dare you! Get down here right now!"

He finished speaking.

Yue Lingshan picked up a teacup from the table, and with a flick of her fair wrist, the teacup transformed into a hidden weapon and shot out.

With a loud bang—

The attic window shattered with a crash.

A dark figure burst in through the window, snatched the teacup Yue Lingshan had thrown with a single stroke, and then nimbly landed on the ground with a somersault.

Mu Gaofeng glanced down at the teacup in his hand, then brazenly sized up Yue Lingshan before him, sneering coldly, "Young lady, you're not much older, but you've got quite the temper!"

"But with such a fiery temper, be careful she doesn't provoke the wrong people; she might suffer a great loss!"

pat-

As soon as he finished speaking, his dark blue hand squeezed hard, and the bone china teacup in his hand shattered into pieces as if it were tofu.

Yue Lingshan wasn't easily intimidated, especially with Qian Chen by her side to back her up; she was quite confident now.

"Hmph! Who goes there? State your name if you dare!"

Mu Gaofeng was hunched over.

His sinister gaze kept sweeping over Yue Lingshan.

"Hehe, I am Mu Gaofeng, the famous camel from the northern frontier! Little girl, if you're willing to submit now, I might spare your life... Otherwise, with your delicate skin, you might not be able to withstand any more torment!"

While verbally threatening Yue Lingshan, he secretly glanced at Qian Chen out of the corner of his eye, unable to hide the unspeakable look of surprise and doubt deep in his eyes.

What a strange kid!

I couldn't hear him breathing at all!

Mu Gaofeng narrowed his eyes. Based on his years of experience in the martial arts world, he was certain that there was something strange about this young man in front of him!

What made him even more hesitant was—

He couldn't see through Qian Chen's true nature at all!

Qian Chen simply sat there calmly, only speaking when he first revealed Mu Gaofeng's whereabouts, without uttering a single additional word.

He looked at Mu Gaofeng with a smile, appearing harmless, but Mu Gaofeng felt a chill run down his spine, as if he were being stared at by some ferocious beast!

Unlike Qian Chen, Yue Lingshan wasn't good-tempered. Her eyebrows furrowed, and she gritted her teeth, scolding, "You old geezer who only knows how to put on airs! Since you're so foul-mouthed, don't blame me for tearing your dog mouth apart!"

Before the words were even finished, the figure had already arrived three steps away.

"You scoundrel, take this!"

With a sharp shout, Yue Lingshan moved forward like a dragon, using her palm as a sword to aim for Mu Gaofeng's head. Her moves were fierce and powerful!

Mu Gaofeng, having spent many years in the martial arts world, was no ordinary person. With a glint in his eyes, he immediately recognized Yue Lingshan's martial arts style: "The Thirteen Styles of Huashan Qingfeng?"

"You little brat, you're actually a disciple of the Huashan Sect?"

Mu Gaofeng frowned, and his already wrinkled old face became even more unsightly.

Considering Yue Buqun's reputation, and to avoid offending the Huashan Sect, he did not choose to draw his sword to fight. Instead, he faced Yue Lingshan empty-handed, parrying her moves and quickly engaging in a fierce battle.

The two went back and forth.

In the blink of an eye, they had exchanged more than ten blows.

Yue Lingshan had a rare opportunity to have such a good sparring partner. As she attacked, she became more and more adept, no longer bound by the constraints of the Huashan sword technique. From time to time, she would suddenly change her moves with a flash of inspiration, and for a while, Mu Gaofeng was unable to defend himself.

"Little girl, don't push your luck!"

"I'm letting you off the hook out of respect for Yue Buqun. If you still don't know what's good for you, don't blame me for being ruthless. And don't go around saying I'm bullying the weak..."

Mu Gaofeng withdrew and stepped back, his right hand already on the hilt of the camel sword, his triangular eyes revealing a hint of murderous intent.

Yue Lingshan was engrossed in the fight and paid no heed to Mu Gaofeng's words. She slightly raised her swan-like neck, assumed a fighting stance again, and said, "What nonsense are you spouting? Take this!"

Mu Gaofeng sneered, "Extremely arrogant! Do you really think that just because you're a disciple of Mount Hua, I wouldn't dare kill you?"

Zheng———

I was startled to hear the clanging of swords.

A cold glint appeared, and the camel sword was already drawn.

Mu Gaofeng was truly enraged. When he drew his sword, he held back, and the sharp, cold light aimed directly at Yue Lingshan's vital points.

Qian Chen raised an eyebrow, instantly discerning Mu Gaofeng's qi and blood flow, and softly advised, "Ling Shan, your swordsmanship is no match for him. Use the martial art I taught you a few days ago!"

Mu Gaofeng's triangular eyes gleamed with a sharp light, and the camel-shaped sword in his hand instantly emitted a three-inch-long sliver of cold light. He grinned maliciously, "Only now thinking of changing your kung fu? Too late! Die!"

Upon hearing the sound, Yue Lingshan retreated, and in the next instant, her palm transformed into a claw!

clang---

The camel sword trembled and emitted a series of buzzing sounds.

"How is that possible?"

Mu Gaofeng's triangular eyes widened to be bigger than bells at that moment, an overwhelming fear welling up within him. He instinctively tried to escape Yue Lingshan's attack range, but it was too late; there was nowhere to run.

He could only watch helplessly as Yue Lingshan formed her five fingers into claws, using a technique as exquisite as a gazelle leaping off a cliff, to pierce the sharpness of the camel sword with a single claw, and then attack his head with a backhand.

It was clearly just a pair of delicate, youthful hands, moist and white, just like freshly peeled scallions.

Yet the claw techniques he could unleash with a mere gesture were exquisite!

Mu Gaofeng had no doubt that if that claw landed on his forehead, it would instantly tear five holes in him.

This is when the ruthlessness of a seasoned veteran is truly revealed!

Mu Gaofeng knew that he had fallen into a disadvantageous position due to a moment of carelessness, and it was too late to defend or retreat to save himself!

There is only one way—

That means going all in, even if it means mutual destruction!

A truly ruthless person who has ventured into the underworld!

They never lack the ruthlessness to risk their lives!

Mu Gaofeng immediately abandoned his defense and even took the initiative to meet Yue Lingshan. Only the sharpness of his camel sword reappeared, and he thrust it straight at Yue Lingshan's vital point in her heart, intending to exchange his life for hers.

Where had Yue Lingshan ever seen such a reckless fighting style?

He immediately twisted his body to avoid the sharp edge of the camel sword, but the rhythm of his attack was also disrupted. His claw, which was originally sure to succeed, could only miss and barely tore the clothes on Mu Gaofeng's chest, leaving five bloody wounds on his chest.

"hiss---"

Mu Gaofeng gasped, a sense of retreat rising within him, but he couldn't help but exclaim in admiration, "What incredible claw technique!"

Upon hearing this, Yue Lingshan's eyes crinkled with a smile.

Given her current admiration for Qian Chen, she would feel honored to hear any praise for him.

"Of course!"

"This is a supreme skill that the young master personally taught me—"

"Nine Yin Divine Claw!"
