Yin Zhiping?

Mei Chaofeng did not remember such a person in the martial arts world. She thought that the Seven Masters of Quanzhen had been chivalrous all their lives, yet they had taught such a cunning disciple!

After much deliberation, she realized that she couldn't kill this petty thief. The opportunity to obtain authentic Xuanmen internal energy was now right before her.

Ok?

It smells good.

I noticed it just now; this little thief smells wonderfully, captivating the mind and soul. And when he sweats, he smells even more fragrant.

The fragrance stirred her heart, and a little color returned to her pale cheeks.

Mei Chaofeng quickly regained her composure, thinking to herself, "His constant tug-of-war with me is really annoying. I'd better break his arms and legs and take him back to torture him slowly; he'll definitely talk it out then!"

He immediately grabbed Yin Zhiping's little finger and twisted it backward: "Now that you know I have the Nine Yin Manual, I can't let you go!"

"Wait a minute, senior! I have something to say!"

"Do you have anything else to say?"

Yin Zhiping said, "Senior, please don't be hasty. My master taught me that it is better to die a glorious death than to live a shameful life. If you harm me in the slightest, I will rather die than tell you any of the Quanzhen Sect's internal techniques!"

Mei Chaofeng sneered: "You're that determined?"

Yin Zhiping laughed and said, "Since childhood, I have listened to the earnest teachings of my master and my senior uncles and elder brothers. Senior, you are welcome to test my resolve. However... if you are wrong, senior, and I die, you will still not have mastered the divine skill and will not be able to avenge your great enemy."

Mei Chaofeng loosened her grip, not because she believed Yin Zhiping's nonsense, but because she believed in the nature of the Seven Masters of Quanzhen.

Spending time with those old Taoist priests, they are not only chivalrous but also incredibly stubborn.

She pondered for a moment, her expression unchanged: "Ha! I have mastered the White Python Whip Technique. Let alone the Seven Heroes of Jiangnan, even if the Seven Masters of Quanzhen came, I would not be afraid. How could I not avenge my great grudge?"

Aren't they afraid of the Seven Masters of Quanzhen?

Ha ha!

Yin Zhiping laughed heartily and said, "Senior is right. Apart from my master, all my senior uncles and masters have indeed arrived in the desert!"

"What?!"

Mei Chaofeng released Yin Zhiping's fingers and quickly took a few steps back, thinking that Yin Zhiping was just lying to her again: "Why did they come to the desert?"

Yin Zhiping said, "My master once made a bet with the Seven Heroes of Jiangnan, whereby their disciples would compete to see who was better. My master, Master Danyang, deeply understands the Taoist principle of self-restraint and following others, and did not want my master to overpower the Seven Heroes of Jiangnan in this matter."

"Therefore, I've already heard that I've been helping the disciples of those Seven Freaks with their martial arts training. My other senior uncles and aunts have also arrived in the desert to teach Guo Jing even more advanced martial arts. If I were to be injured, go missing, or die, you wouldn't be able to escape either, and you would surely be hunted down by them!"

What if you're not strong enough?

This is a scam!

His words were half true and half false, causing Mei Chaofeng to hesitate for a moment. Although she said she was not afraid of the Seven Masters of Quanzhen, these seven were famous throughout the world, each with superb martial arts skills and a supreme sword formation. If she were to face them, she would definitely not have a chance of winning.

The Danyang Master Ma Yu was the leader of the Quanzhen Sect. He always kept a low profile. He believed that Taoism advocated self-restraint and following others, and did not want Qiu Chuji to surpass the Seven Freaks of Jiangnan. Mei Chaofeng had already believed most of him.

Mei Chaofeng had indeed heard Yin Zhiping sparring with Guo Jing, but Yin Zhiping didn't mention the Seven Masters of Quanzhen, only saying that the Six Masters had arrived, which made it even more believable.

After thinking it over, Mei Chaofeng calmed down.

She asked, "What do you want?"

Upon hearing this, Yin Zhiping knew that he had won over Mei Chaofeng with his silver tongue.

He smiled and said, "There's one more question. If you can answer it, senior, I will pass on all the Quanzhen techniques to you."

"Go ahead and ask."

Yin Zhiping asked, "May we study the true scriptures together?"

Mei Chaofeng had anticipated this; the Quanzhen thief had been lingering with her for so long because of her Nine Yin Manual.

At this point, she no longer wanted to waste words. This young Taoist priest had internal energy cultivation techniques, and she had unparalleled martial arts skills. If the two were combined, they would surely achieve great mastery of divine skills.

I'll kill this little Taoist priest first to silence him, then kill the Seven Heroes of Jiangnan to avenge my husband's death, and then go straight to Peach Blossom Island to atone for my sins before my master, thus ending this life. That would be quite satisfying.

For now, let's keep this young Taoist priest calm and trick him into giving us the internal energy cultivation method.

She said, "Okay, but you can't tell anyone else."

Yin Zhiping was secretly delighted: "Of course. If my elders knew that I was colluding with my predecessors, they would definitely not forgive me. How could I dare to say anything?"

"What collusion!" Mei Chaofeng cursed, "Ignorant brat, spouting nonsense!"

Yin Zhiping was overjoyed at the prospect of learning the divine skills from the Nine Yin Manual. Now that the matter was out in the open, there was no need to be wary of Mei Chaofeng anymore. He put away the hidden arrow in his sleeve and strode back.

Mei Chaofeng immediately said, "You're going back? Aren't you going to practice your skills anymore?"

Yin Zhiping smiled and said, "It's getting light, I need to go back and rest. Tomorrow at midnight, please come to my tent, senior, so we can have a deeper discussion."

Mei Chaofeng: "..."

Meeting this young Taoist priest from the Quanzhen School today has deeply moved her. She never imagined that a disciple of such a prestigious sect could be so cunning; it is truly rare.

She thought to herself that Yin Zhiping must covet the Nine Yin Manual and wouldn't run away, so she crossed the grass and headed towards her cave. She stopped practicing her skills and decided to go to Yin Zhiping's yurt at midnight the next day to study the manual together.

Thinking of this, she was filled with excitement, thinking to herself that her great revenge was finally about to be fulfilled.

Yin Zhi returned safely to the yurt and found Hua Zheng still fast asleep. He covered her with a blanket, rested on the felt for a while, and then it was dawn.

He got up, washed his face, and prepared to find the Six Heroes of Jiangnan and Guo Jing to begin a new day's lessons.

That Quanzhen sword technique has reached a state of perfection; today is a good day to test it out.

"Brother Taoist priest..."

At this moment, Hua Zheng woke up, rubbing her sleepy eyes. Her hair was disheveled, her clothes were askew, and a glimpse of her fair, pink shoulders was visible.

Hua Zheng was surprised to find that she was covered with a quilt, her clothes were disheveled but intact, and even her belt was still in place.

After a moment's thought, he smiled again.

Ah!

The Taoist priest was indeed a virtuous man who did not take advantage of others in distress.

She looked at Yin Zhiping and saw his extremely handsome appearance, and her heart immediately trembled.

"Brother Taoist, where are you going?"

Yin Zhiping said, "I'm going to practice martial arts. You ride back on horseback. This horse knows the way and will come back on its own."

"Practice martial arts?" Hua Zheng smiled and immediately stood up, saying, "Then I'll go too!"

Forgetting that her foot injury hadn't healed, she slumped forward and fell onto the felt with a thud.

"Why didn't you catch me, Taoist brother?"

Yin Zhiping said, "It's cliché for the same thing to happen twice. You don't need to go; just go home and rest."

"I want to go!"

Hua Zheng got up and hopped on one foot to follow Yin Zhiping. Once they were out of the yurt, she nimbly leaped onto the horse's back.

"Come up quickly, Taoist brother."

Yin Zhiping shook his head, then mounted his horse, his hand naturally reaching over Hua Zheng's slender waist to take the reins.

He asked, "Won't people misunderstand if we go out so intimately?"

Hua Zheng thought to herself that it was a misunderstanding, and giggled, "It's alright, we grassland women aren't afraid of gossip... Hey? Taoist brother, this saddle of yours is uncomfortable, you should change it."

Yin Zhiping's expression remained unchanged as he spurred his horse forward.

As the horse swayed with each step, Hua Zheng's heart swayed along with it. Leaning against Yin Zhiping, she felt comfortable and at ease.

I wish the Taoist priest had held me while I slept last night. It's a pity he didn't take advantage of me; he's a very good person.
