An attack that was completely beyond Su Mengsha's imagination appeared before her eyes at this moment, and a golden dragon was pushed out from Lin Xueyi's palms.
This fierce and unparalleled attack utterly destroyed the crimson aura of the Blood Sea Demon Claw. The giant dragon surged forward, and all resistance crumbled at the first touch. The Blood Demon Claw cried out in disbelief, "Impossible!" and then fell silent.
Staring in disbelief at everything before her, Su Mengsha felt as if she were in a dream. This little girl, whom she usually patted on the head and pinched on the cheek, was actually able to unleash such a powerful palm strike.
The giant dragon, like a sledgehammer, slayed the enemy and also struck her heart. The girl who had been rescued beside her stared wide-eyed.
This man killed her father, her grandfather, her mother, and so many people in the village. Even when his fellow disciples in the village attacked him, they were all killed in the end.
But this little girl, even younger than him, killed him in a single, decisive move. How could he possibly believe it?
But whether we can believe it or not, the final result is already clear.
"Snow...Xueyi?"
"Oh, Sister Su, what's wrong?"
Looking at the same adorable little girl, Su Mengsha thought she might have mistaken someone else for someone else. The other person wasn't Ghost Claw Blood Demon at all; perhaps it was just someone who looked similar to him. After all, she had only seen his portrait before, never actually met him, right?
"Um, little sister, what exactly are you...?"
"The sound just came from here, come over here quickly."
The men in black, who seemed to have appeared out of nowhere, heard the commotion and rushed over, only to find their leader's corpse.
"Tell me, where did the man who killed our leader go?"
The masked men wielding curved knives were gradually approaching Lin Xueyi and the others.
“Tell me, who is behind you, and why did you come here to slaughter the entire Chenjian Manor?”
Hearing that this little girl dared to question them instead of answering their questions, the men in black wanted to know who gave her the courage.
"Look closely, these little girls are quite pretty. Before, the leader wanted to eat them, so we couldn't touch them, but now... hahaha..."
Then, the laughter stopped abruptly, replaced by a dragon's roar that resounded through the heavens. Lin Xueyi seized the dragon with both hands, and in the next second, those men in black who had just been laughing arrogantly became history.
"Ugh... How could I be so stupid? I always went too far and killed them all. It's not my fault, I really didn't mean to, they were just too weak, they couldn't even withstand one move. I was even trying to ask them who sent them, but now they're all gone..."
Looking at the regretful Lin Xueyi, Su Mengsha just wanted to ask, "Are you trying to defy the heavens? Too fragile? You couldn't withstand one move, but with this move, I doubt many people could."
She let out a soft sigh of relief. In short, she felt like she had struck gold.
Main text: Chapter Thirty-One: Inquiry
The Zhao family, the Zhao family of Chenjian Manor, had no survivors left, except for Zhao Yuanya, whom she had rescued.
Looking at this lonely girl, Lin Xueyi felt a headache coming on. She didn't know what to do with her. At least in her own eyes, she was a rootless duckweed, still searching for Ruoxue and her own background. How could she possibly help her?
"I can walk on my own, I don't need you to help me. I don't want to be a burden to you."
Seemingly sensing Lin Xueyi's predicament, or perhaps because she never intended to leave with Su Mengsha and Lin Xueyi, she chose to leave on her own.
"Hey? What are you doing? You're still injured. Leaving now is just asking for death!" Lin Xueyi looked at the stubborn girl who wanted to leave, and her head started to ache even more.
However, Su Mengsha did not stop her. Instead, she agreed with Zhao Yuanya's idea. She already knew what Zhao Yuanya was thinking when she heard Zhao Yuanya's name.
"Xueyi, she is the youngest daughter of the master of Chenjian Manor. After her family was destroyed, she probably wanted to find her enemies. Being with you would only implicate you. Besides, your path is not to help her take revenge."
Lin Xueyi fell silent. Yes, she hadn't intended to help her investigate the clues in this incident. It wasn't that she was heartless, but rather that she had more things to do.
She did need to investigate these men in black, but right now, what mattered most to her was finding Ruoxue and discovering her own past.
"But Sister Su, I'm worried about her being alone. Those people are so ruthless, what if..."
"No need for so many 'what ifs'. I know what to do. I will work hard to cultivate, and then I will investigate the clues of those people. The Ghost Claw Blood Demon is a very good clue. I will definitely be able to find the person behind those people."
Seeing that Zhao Yuanya had made up her mind, Lin Xueyi said nothing more, took out the Bolang Daohai Jue from her backpack, and placed it in Zhao Yuanya's hand.
"You haven't learned internal energy cultivation yet. This manual is an internal energy cultivation manual. You can learn it. How far you can go after that depends on yourself."
"this..."
"Take it. Without the manual, you wouldn't even have a chance to take revenge. Now, with this, at least your own strength can allow you to take revenge, right?"
Zhao Yuanya placed her small, gentle hand on the back of her hand that was about to be pushed away. She looked up and saw Lin Xueyi's gentle and encouraging smile.
"Thank you, Xueyi. I will be just as powerful as you in the future, and then it will be my turn to protect you."
"Eh? Hahaha, then I'll look forward to your protection. Maybe in the future I can become a good friend of some great hero Zhao Yuanya and roam the martial arts world freely."
Upon hearing Lin Xueyi's words, not only Su Mengsha couldn't hold back, but Zhao Yuanya, who was originally in a bad mood, couldn't help but slightly curl her lips upwards.
"I'm leaving. I will definitely take my revenge. Once I've done so, I'll come back for you."
"Okay, then I'll wait for you to come find me." Lin Xueyi waved and watched Zhao Yuanya gradually disappear from her sight, and couldn't help but sigh.
"Why is she sighing at such a young age? Actually, her choice was the right one."
Su Mengsha's words puzzled Lin Xueyi. Why was this choice still correct? She had put herself in danger; how could it be right?
Knowing that Lin Xueyi wouldn't be able to tell, Su Mengsha didn't keep her in suspense and explained directly.
"This is the Sinking Sword Manor. Do you know how many famous swords are in the Sinking Sword Pool? In the past, some great heroes would throw their swords into the Sinking Sword Pool when they retired from the martial world, to show their determination to retire."
It was precisely because of the relationship between Mingjian Villa and these retired heroes that this power, which could only rank among the middle in Binzhou, was spared much trouble. But now that Chenjian Villa has been destroyed, the precious swords and divine weapons in Chenjian Pool are all ownerless. Do you think those people will let them go?
"Huh? So those people would do anything to get the sword in this Sword-Sinking Pool?" Lin Xueyi immediately understood and thought of Zhao Yuanya's situation.
"The youngest daughter of the owner of Shenjian Manor is still alive, which means that Shenjian Pool is not yet considered ownerless. Therefore, those people will do everything they can to make Shenjian Pool ownerless."
"That's right, that's why Zhao Yuanya chose not to come with us. After all, she's alone, and it's hard for ordinary people in the martial arts world to recognize her. But if she's with us, the chances of her being recognized are much higher, and her situation will be more dangerous."
Moreover, her family's Flying Eagle Fortress would not become Zhao Yuanya's sanctuary, but rather her burial place. Therefore, Su Mengsha did not stop Zhao Yuanya, but instead let her leave.
However, the main problem now is not Zhao Yuanya, but the little girl in front of him.
"Let's not talk about Zhao Yuanya for now. Xueyi, you've never said you had such powerful cultivation. What, aren't you going to explain this properly?"
"Huh, you didn't dodge it?"
"Xueyi, do you think you can dodge this?" Although the girl's expression was really cute, Su Mengsha was thinking most about Lin Xueyi's cultivation level and her keeping it a secret from her.
"Um, Sister Su, I never said that I have no cultivation."
"Well, you never said it, but you've always acted this way. And when Gu Duoduo asked you to be her junior sister, you didn't make it clear either."
The thought of Gu Duoduo asking Lin Xueyi to become her disciple made Su Mengsha laugh. Based on her previous performance, even the Ghost Claw Blood Demon, who was no match for the leader of the Luo City Sword Sect, was killed by Lin Xueyi with two palm strikes. How could she be a master? Just thinking about the scene would be embarrassing.
"I really should write a letter to Gu Duoduo and give her a proper account of your behavior."
"Oh? No, Sister Su, if you do this, it will be difficult for me to get along with Duoduo in the future. You should leave some room for others to live, okay?"
"Hmph, leave a way out for others. You've kept this from me, what good deed are you doing? Why should I leave a way out for you? Fine, then tell me properly what level your cultivation is."
When asked about her own level of achievement, Lin Xueyi scratched her head and turned away shyly.
"Actually, I don't know what level of cultivation it is. As you know, I knew almost nothing about the martial arts world before. I only knew a limited amount. It was Ruoxue who told me. I really don't know how these levels are divided."

"Don't you know what level your cultivation has reached?" Su Mengsha looked at the little girl with a cute smile on her face and decided to believe her for now, because there was an even bigger problem ahead...
"Ladies, may I ask who killed these men in black?"
Those martial arts figures who arrived late had gradually entered the Chenjian Manor. Their purposes were not so simple, especially the greed in their eyes, which Su Mengsha could clearly see.
"I wonder what this senior is like..."
"Yes, I am Lin Huo from the Cangran Sword Sect of Fuluo Mountain. I came here specifically to help after hearing about the trouble at Chenjian Manor."
Fuluo Mountain? It's only ten miles away, and it would only take half an hour to get there on horseback. However, the Chenjian Manor has already been wiped out. She and Xueyi could have encountered the murderers even if they had traveled a long way, yet he shamelessly claims to have come here specifically to help.
However, Su Mengsha glanced at Lin Xueyi to the side, speechless, and didn't voice her sarcasm, because Xueyi actually believed the old man's nonsense.
"Uncle, we have already killed all the murderers in Chenjian Manor. You've made a wasted trip."
"Oh? I never expected that you two young heroes would defeat you. It makes me marvel at how heroes can emerge from among the young. May I ask how you two young heroes are addressed?"
"My name is Lin Xueyi, and this is my older sister, Su Mengsha." Lin Xueyi's smile was truly adorable, making Lin Huo from Fuluo Mountain momentarily reluctant to continue with his thoughts.
However, after considering the potential benefits of the Shenjian Manor, he decided to ruthlessly push things to the extreme, as this was the only way to legitimize their actions.
"Alas... What a pity. The once mighty Shenjian Manor, which stood for hundreds of years, has become history today. Everyone inside was killed overnight. The manor was annihilated."
"That can't be right. Surely not all the disciples of Shenjian Manor are out in the field. They have to go out and travel around."
"You two are unaware of the truth. For some reason, Master Zhao summoned all his disciples back to the manor, saying he had something important to discuss. But unexpectedly, this happened."
"You've summoned all the disciples who were outside back? Has something happened?"
Upon hearing this news, Su Mengsha quickly asked about it. Back then, when she came here with her brother and father, Master Zhao treated them very kindly. Thinking of how Master Zhao had treated her back then, she felt that she needed to find clues, and Zhao Yuanya also needed these clues.
"We don't know the specifics. As you know, matters involving sects are rarely disclosed to the public."
"Sister Su, let's go find Yuan Ya and tell her about this clue."
Lin Xueyi's seemingly unintentional words instantly caught Lin Huo's eye; there were actually survivors. That was going to be troublesome.
"Miss Lin, is the Yuan Ya you're talking about the youngest daughter of Master Zhao, Miss Zhao Yuan Ya?"
"Yes, it's her." Lin Xueyi nodded obediently, her face still showing an innocent and harmless expression, which made Lin Huo even more convinced that these men in black weren't very strong. They must have used some underhanded methods to wipe out the Chenjian Manor.
"In that case, we will take care of Miss Zhao. We will take good care of her and teach her our sect's skills."
Blinking her eyes, Lin Xueyi found Lin Huo a bit strange. She hadn't even seen him yet, and he was talking about asking them to take care of him. Wasn't that a bit too far-fetched?
"I wonder where Miss Zhao is right now."
"I don't know. She's already gone, but this Shenjian Manor is probably still her home. She'll probably come back in the future."
Lin Xueyi grabbed Su Mengsha's clothes before she could finish speaking, because as she spoke, Lin Huo and the people he brought with him had already been filled with a fierce look in their eyes.
"So, you're the only ones who know about Miss Zhao's existence?" As long as no one tells anyone about Zhao Yuanya's situation, they can take over this place. The most important thing is the weapons that have sunk into the Sword Sinking Pool.
Seeing Lin Xueyi nod obediently again, Lin Huo decided to stop pretending. "In that case, please come back to the sect with me. There are so many corpses here; I suspect you two are connected to those men in black."
"Huh? What makes you say that? It was clearly Sister Su and I who killed these men in black. Why are you accusing us of having something to do with these murderers?"
Hearing this, Lin Huo snorted coldly, "You say you killed these people, where is the evidence? A little girl, a young man who is only at the fifth level of the acquired realm, and you say that you killed the murderers who destroyed the entire Chenjian Manor? Do you believe it or not?"
Lin Huo's words drew laughter from those around him. Of course, these people were all his own people, but the atmosphere infuriated Lin Xueyi and Su Mengsha.
"Little girl, don't think about doing anything. Just come with us obediently, and we won't do anything to you. If you resist, swords have no eyes, and we might hurt your delicate skin. That would be bad."
