Wuxia Fantasy: Starting with the Revitalization of the Beggars' Sect

Lin Ye glanced at the pile of firewood, which was covered with a thick layer of ash, and realized that he had been practicing for quite some time.

When I stopped, my arms felt sore and heavy, so I had to give up.

He went to the fire, threw the branch in his hand into the flames, and the branch caught fire, sending up a wisp of sparks.

When Zhou Zhiruo saw him sit down next to her, and thinking of how her senior sisters had acted earlier, her cheeks flushed slightly as she lowered her head, and she was about to get up and leave.

Then I thought, I haven't done anything wrong, so why should I be afraid of what they say? If I leave now, they will really laugh at me. So I sat quietly with my knees drawn up to my chest, without saying a word.

Jingxuan asked, "Brother Lin, what kind of staff technique did you use just now?"

Lin Ye said, "It's a staff technique taught by that slovenly benefactor. I don't know its name. I had forgotten it before, but now I've remembered it again, so I couldn't help but practice it. I'm afraid it might affect the senior sisters."

Lin Ye had already planned that if they asked what martial arts he knew, he would just blame it all on the slovenly man he had mentioned earlier.

Jingxuan sighed, "That slovenly man is indeed a master. I'm afraid his staff technique is just like your Eighteen Subduing Dragon Palms, both being exquisite and superior martial arts. It's truly enviable that you have such good fortune."

Lin Ye laughed and said, "Senior Sister is joking. Back then, our ancestor Guo Xiang founded Emei, which has stood for a hundred years and is still a top-tier sect in the martial arts world. Unlike our Beggar Clan, which is now just a name in name only."

"From this, it seems that the martial arts passed down by your sect are no less than, and perhaps even more than, my Eighteen Subduing Dragon Palms and the staff techniques I have learned."

Jingxuan was naturally even more proud of her sect's martial arts, and she was overjoyed to hear Lin Ye say this.

Lin Ye saw this and suddenly realized something.

Suppressing a smile, his expression changed instantly, and he let out a long sigh.

Jingxuan was puzzled and asked, "Why did Brother Lin sigh?"

Lin Ye looked troubled and hesitated before saying, "Speaking out would inevitably offend your sect, so it's better not to say it."

Jingxuan frowned. The more Lin Ye refused to speak, the more she wanted to know why he had offended Emei out of the blue.

She said, "The words are on the tip of my tongue, so why not say them? Just say them."

Lin Ye seemed to have made up his mind, and after sighing, he said seriously, "In that case, I will tell you."

"The Emei Sect is renowned and known to all in the martial arts world. Under the leadership of Abbess Miejue, its fame has reached its zenith... However, things always turn around when they reach their extreme. I fear that the Emei Sect's reputation will soon decline, just like the Beggars' Sect is today."

"What did you say?!"

As soon as Lin Ye finished speaking, a female disciple shouted loudly. Although Lin Ye was a handsome young man and they liked him a lot, in their hearts, that liking could not surpass that of the Emei Sect and their own master.

Hearing Lin Ye say something detrimental to Emei, he couldn't help but be furious.

Jingxuan extended her left hand to her junior sister, signaling her to calm down. Actually, her expression wasn't good either, and she was equally angry, but she tried her best to remain composed:

"Young brother, why do you say that?"

Lin Ye didn't care and said seriously, "I overheard you talking the other day, is the nun going to clean up the sect?"

Jingxuan didn't know why he brought up his master. They hadn't avoided talking about this kid yesterday, so he must know. Why was he asking again today?

She said, "Exactly."

"But is it for a senior sister named Ji Xiaofu?"

"That's right."

After hearing this, Lin Ye exclaimed "Oh dear!" and sighed, "This is terrible."

Before Jingxuan could ask, another disciple inquired first, "What happened?"

Lin Ye looked puzzled: "You really don't know?"

One of them shouted, "Stop beating around the bush! Just say what you have to say!"

Lin Ye stopped rambling and asked, "Do you know who the father of Senior Sister Ji's child is?"

The father of Senior Sister Ji's child was that adulterer. Senior Sister Ji had repeatedly refused to marry Senior Brother Yin of Wudang, so it couldn't be him. Not knowing who he was, they asked:

"Who is it?"

"Yang Xiao, the Left Guardian of the Ming Cult."

Most of the Emei disciples had never heard of Yang Xiao's name, but they recognized the name "Ming Cult," which was clearly a notorious evil cult in the martial arts world.

Everyone gasped in surprise.

"I never imagined that Senior Sister Ji would have an affair with someone from the Demonic Sect."

"No wonder he always disagreed with Senior Brother Yin's marriage. It seems that Senior Brother Yin is really pitiful."

"To associate with the Demonic Sect... isn't that the same as Senior Brother Zhang from Wudang..."

"..."

Jingxuan's expression was solemn. These young junior sisters didn't recognize Yang Xiao's name, but she did.

Her master often told her that his eldest uncle, Gu Hongzi, was angered to death by this demonic cult leader, and told her to remember it well, so that if she ever encountered him again, she would make him pay for his blood debt.

Seeing their reaction, Lin Ye knew that his plan was 80% complete. He then heard Jing Xuan ask, "How did you know that person was Yang Xiao?"

"Senior sister, don't forget I'm a disciple of the Beggars' Sect; my information network is extensive."

Jingxuan remained silent. If it really was Yang Xiao, then even ten of Ji Shimei's lives wouldn't be enough for Master to kill. However, since this young man from the Beggar Clan said so, it was probably true.

Seeing that the groundwork had been laid sufficiently, Lin Ye pressed his advantage and said:

"Yang Xiao is the Left Guardian of the Brightness Sect, holding a high position, so his martial arts skills must be considerable. And since Senior Sister Ji is his beloved, how could he not protect her closely?"

"If you, Master, truly encounter Yang Xiao on this journey, your martial arts skills will naturally be no less than his. However, the people of the Demonic Sect are known for their treacherous and cunning nature. It's easy to dodge a spear in the open, but difficult to guard against an arrow in the dark. Even if you, Master, are on guard at every turn, there will inevitably be times when you are caught off guard. If... if you truly fall into their trap, I'm afraid... the odds are against you."

At this point, the Emei disciples were secretly alarmed, only to hear Lin Ye continue:

"Even if the abbess successfully cleans up the sect and returns safely to Emei, Yang Xiao, having lost his beloved, will surely not let it go. At that time, he will definitely lead the demonic sect to unleash his thunderous wrath on Emei. Even if your sect resists with all its might, I'm afraid you will not be able to escape a catastrophe."

An Emei disciple shouted, "Are we afraid of them?!"

Upon hearing this, all the disciples of Emei echoed in agreement, declaring that they were ready to die for their cause and had no fear of evil spirits.

Jingxuan remained silent, seemingly lost in thought.

Just as Lin Ye was about to explain, Zhou Zhiruo, who had been silent all along, spoke first:

"I think Senior Brother Lin meant something else."

Lin Ye glanced at her, noting that Zhou Zhiruo's intelligence was evident.

Jingxuan asked, "Young Brother Lin, do you have some ideas?"

Clearly, neither her master being plotted against nor the Emei Sect being besieged was something she wanted to see.

Linye Road:

"This is just my humble opinion. Senior Sister Ji doesn't necessarily have to die, at least there's no need to rush into it right now."

"As long as we capture Senior Sister Ji and bring her back to Emei, Yang Xiao will be afraid of her safety and will not dare to act rashly. On the contrary, we can use his feelings for Senior Sister Ji to set a trap and lure him into it."

"I know what you senior sisters are thinking, but when dealing with the people of the Demonic Sect, there's no need to talk about chivalry and honor. We should be more cunning than them so that we can use their own methods against them."

"The most urgent task is to immediately send someone on horseback to catch up with the nun, explain the situation to her, and prevent her from being assassinated."
