A Journey Through the Martial World After Transforming into a Loli

"Yes, I know, it starts at three years."

Seeing her father-in-law's bewildered expression, Lin Xueyi knew she had said something she shouldn't have, so she could only stick out her tongue and glance around.

The little girl's adorable appearance brought a smile to the old man's face. He then flicked his whip to make sure his two horses pulling the cart could walk more steadily.

"Girl, you've just finished eating, let's rest for a bit. There are still quite a distance ahead and no towns or villages in sight. We might have to camp in the wild tonight."

Lin Xueyi naturally knew this as well, having already asked for directions long ago. However, there were usually no thieves or robbers on this road, so staying here at night was relatively safe.

More importantly, this old man frequently traveled this route, and his vehicle contained cooking utensils and tents that guests could use to rest. She had snatched him from many other people.

Of course, what Lin Xueyi didn't know was that this old man was worried about Lin Xueyi being a young girl all alone, so he chose to drive for her. He also thought that driving for a young girl would avoid a lot of trouble.

After hearing her father-in-law's words, Lin Xueyi shrank back into the carriage and looked at the large package next to her. Inside were the cooking utensils and tents for tonight. It seemed there was a reason why her father-in-law's business was so good.

Lin Xueyi weighed her small backpack in her hand and opened her small package. Inside were silver ingots of excellent quality, each weighing ten taels. If calculated carefully, they would probably amount to several hundred taels.

These were all her spoils of war. After wiping out the people in Haishan Cave, she hadn't forgotten about her skill of searching corpses. Everyone had contributed a considerable amount of silver to her. In the end, she threw away the loose silver of poor quality, keeping only the good quality pieces.

She only has this much money left now, but based on her spending habits, it should last her for quite some time. She can keep the money Ruoxue left behind.

At this moment, Lin Xueyi looked at the silver in her small bag like a little money-grubber. She had never seen so much silver before, even in the past.

It was so bright that, reflected by the sunlight shining through the car curtains, Lin Xueyi felt like she was going to be blinded.

"No wonder some people love robbery so much. It turns out that this risk-free business is so enjoyable. Hmmmm, should I go back and find a few more robbers to search the place? Maybe I can find some treasures."

However, Lin Xueyi only thought about these things in her mind. She felt that it was really unlikely that she would do such a thing. If the other party had not provoked her, she really couldn't do that kind of indiscriminate killing.

“Little girl, there’s a great place to camp up ahead. I usually camp there. Shall we rest here tonight? We can reach the Lingcang Sword Sect tomorrow afternoon.”

"So fast!" Lin Xueyi peeked out again after putting away all her small change, looking at the kind-looking old man who was driving the carriage.

"It's that fast. Let's try to travel less this afternoon and settle down first, so that we don't end up unprepared and unable to get a proper rest at night."

Seeing that Lin Xueyi agreed with his suggestion, the old man slowly parked the car on the side of the road. Not far away, Lin Xueyi also saw several fellow travelers preparing to set up camp. The old man even greeted them and exchanged some food with them.

"Little girl, come and see this big fish. I traded a few pieces of salt with Old Liu next door for it. It's sure to be delicious."

Lin Xueyi looked at the big black fish her father-in-law was carrying. Hmm, it looked meaty, but it wasn't suitable for grilling. It was better suited for making boiled fish. The only downside was that there weren't many seasonings for boiled fish here.

"Tonight, I'll let you try my cooking. A pot of fish soup will fill you up."

"Then I look forward to your cooking, sir."

Her smile revealed a row of white teeth, making the old man feel as if he were seeing his granddaughter, so he naturally worked hard to set up the pot and boil water. Lin Xueyi also helped a lot, gathering some firewood and fetching several buckets of water, of course, for her own hot bath.

The father-in-law naturally knew that the little girl liked cleanliness, so he naturally prepared bathing supplies for her. Fortunately, she was a little girl, so a larger bathtub was still possible.

Looking at the steaming fish soup in the pot, Lin Xueyi idly watched the neighbors who came over to ask for some food.

The fish soup in the pot was still bubbling and steaming, and the delicious aroma drew everyone closer to the fire. Just then, several men dressed like constables rode past on horseback.

Seeing these martial arts practitioners dressed like this for the first time, Lin Xueyi looked over in surprise, only to find that these people were surrounded by internal energy, clearly indicating that they were all martial arts masters.

With so many people riding like this, something must have happened up ahead. However, Lin Xueyi wasn't curious. She was staying here tonight anyway, and she could ask on the road tomorrow.

"Little girl, aren't you envious of them? They are the famous Six Doors in the martial arts world, full of criminal investigation experts. Many cases in the martial arts world are investigated by them."

"Eh? Have you seen them handling cases before, sir?

Smelling the aroma of fish soup, Lin Xueyi moved closer to the campfire. No, she came here to warm herself because it was getting late and the weather was getting cooler, not because she was attracted by the aroma of fish soup.

"Here, little girl, have a piece of flatbread. When the fish soup is ready, you can eat it along with the flatbread."

At this moment, a middle-aged man next to her brought Lin Xueyi a large piece of flatbread. The soft and fragrant aroma made Lin Xueyi sniff her nose and take a small bite.

"Mmm, delicious, really good."

"As long as it tastes good and I like it, that's all that matters."

The middle-aged man gently stroked Lin Xueyi's long hair. "This girl is so cute. What kind of parents are so heartless as to let you wander the world on your own?"

"Hehe, my family thinks I should go out and broaden my horizons, so they let me go out to read thousands of books and travel thousands of miles."

These words stunned everyone around them, who had never expected this little girl to utter such philosophical remarks.

"Well said. The saying 'Read ten thousand books and travel ten thousand miles' is just like those people in the martial arts world. Even if they have mastered martial arts, they still need to travel around and gain experience everywhere."

"I heard that at the Los Angeles Poetry Festival, a little girl was able to compose two poems on the spot and became the champion of the festival. Children these days are really not to be underestimated."

"Hey, I've heard about it too. They didn't say the specific name, but the poem is really well written. If I have the chance in the future, I'd really like to see that little girl who's called the fairy in the poem."

"Yes, and that girl is said to be very beautiful. Not only is she outstanding in writing, but she is also very beautiful. She can truly be described as talented and beautiful."

Hearing the people around her praising her like this, Lin Xueyi felt a little embarrassed. Although they probably didn't know that the person she was talking about was right next to them, the feeling of being praised really made Lin Xueyi feel secretly pleased.

"Ha, alright, my fish soup is ready. Everyone wait a moment, I'll serve the little girl a bowl first." As he spoke, he served Lin Xueyi a bowl of delicious fish soup.

Seeing Lin Xueyi looking beautiful, and not minding the heat, taking a sip, and seeing the comfortable expression on her face, the old man finally smiled happily.

"Everyone line up, I'll serve you fish soup."

While drinking the fish soup, Lin Xueyi ate the food that others had given her, including flatbread, some snacks, and roasted meat. But in terms of taste, her own bowl of fish soup was definitely the most delicious.

While they were eating, they saw several more people dressed similarly to the previous disciples of the Six Doors riding past on horseback. They were still in the same hurry.

Upon seeing this, Lin Xueyi frowned slightly, feeling uneasy as if something major was about to happen on her journey.

Lin Xueyi's worries were noticed by her father-in-law, who gently shook his head. "The members of the Six Doors often ride horses like this, but their riding skills are all very good, so I have never heard of any accidents. However, it is common for them to be in a hurry, so there is no need to worry too much."

Seeing that Lin Xueyi's expression had finally softened a little, the old man was about to tell her about the tent for tonight when he heard a clear, cold voice coming from not far away. This caused the noisy crowd to fall silent.

"Hmph, of course something happened up ahead. That clever and lovely Lin Xueyi you all mentioned wiped out the entire Lingzang Sword Sect in revenge."

"What did you say? Lin Xueyi wiped out the Lingzang Sword Sect? How is that possible? Isn't she just a little girl?"

As for Lin Xueyi herself, she was completely bewildered as she looked at the woman in green surrounding her. She hadn't even arrived yet, and hadn't even seen the Lingzang Sword Sect's gate. How had she managed to destroy their sect?

At this moment, the old man glanced at his customer beside him. Although he didn't know her name, the surprise she showed when she heard the name Lin Xueyi was unmistakable.

"Young lady, you can't say such things carelessly. This kind of thing is no small matter in the martial arts world. Please don't spread rumors."

"Spreading rumors? Don't you think about it? What reason would I have to spread such rumors? It was written in blood by the leader of the Lingzang Sword Sect. If you don't believe it, you'll see it when you get there tomorrow."

The woman in green glanced at the still disbelieving crowd before sneering, "Lin Xueyi has really gone on a killing spree this time. Of the hundreds of members of the Lingzang Sword Sect, apart from Ling Yang, not a single one survived."

"Impossible. You say Lin Xueyi wiped out the entire Lingzang Sword Sect. What evidence do you have? Have you even seen her in person?"

"Do I need any evidence? The one who needs to provide evidence now is not me, but Lin Xueyi. She is the real demon, the demon who indiscriminately kills innocent people."

Lin Xueyi frowned deeply, looking at the woman with a mocking gaze. "Young lady, you can't just say you are Lin Xueyi, can you? Even if you respect her, it doesn't make you her."

Sure enough, this woman knew her true identity, but what was her purpose in doing this? Was it to ruin her reputation? But what use was this so-called reputation in the underworld to her?

“Young lady, such an attitude towards a little girl is not the behavior of a respectable person.”

The old man shielded Lin Xueyi behind him, giving the woman, whose eyes held a strange glint, a cold glance.

"Oh? It seems that Zhang Hanqing, the Iron-Walled Copper-Crutch, dares to talk about righteous and evil sects now."

Old Zhang remained silent, merely glancing coldly at the woman in green. However, the woman in green was not intimidated by his murderous gaze; instead, she approached Lin Xueyi with a smile.

"who are you?"

Lin Xueyi looked at the woman in green in front of her. She knew that the woman recognized her, but she still said such a clumsy lie. She did not think that a smart person could say such a lie.

"Who am I? Who knows? But now you're the one in trouble."

The woman in green gently tapped Lin Xueyi's delicate nose with her finger. "I've told you everything. You'll have to handle the rest yourself. I reckon the people from the Six Doors have already seen the words left by that sect leader. Now it's your turn to come up with a plan."

After whispering something in Lin Xueyi's ear that only the two of them could hear, the woman in green remounted her horse. "Little girl, what happens next depends on your own abilities. In the martial world, not everyone has a brain. There are always some self-proclaimed smart people who want to be champions of justice, but they are being used as pawns without even realizing it."

Lin Xueyi stared blankly at the departing figure of the woman in green, then looked at the crowd around her who were already engrossed in their conversation. She wanted to say that she was Lin Xueyi, but, well, she didn't think those people would think she was innocent.

A large, rough hand patted Lin Xueyi's small shoulder. Lin Xueyi looked over the hand and saw Old Man Zhang looking at her with some concern.

"Old man, I'm fine."

"Girl, you must be Lin Xueyi. There aren't that many geniuses like Lin Xueyi in this world. You must be the same person."

For some reason, Lin Xueyi felt a tightness in her heart after hearing her father-in-law's words, but then she heard him continue.

"Don't worry, I can tell whether a person is good or evil. Although you are not entirely righteous, you are not an extremely evil person either. Moreover, wiping out an entire family is not something that an ordinary person can do."

"You believe me?"

"Of course, I'm not stupid. Just based on the time you spent renting my car, I can naturally calculate that you didn't have time to do anything else."

"Old man, if everyone were like you, the world would be at peace."

Upon hearing this, Old Zhang gave a wry smile, shook his head, and said nothing more. "Rest now, tomorrow will be a good day, nothing will happen."

The Lingzang Sword Sect, a major martial arts sect with hundreds of years of history, was unexpectedly wiped out in a single day, creating a power vacuum in Tianfeng City. Many smaller sects that had previously been suppressed by the Lingzang Sword Sect have now emerged and are vying for control of Tianfeng City.

The disciples of the Six Doors arrived in this once-prominent city of Binzhou, only to find it in utter chaos. Everywhere they went, there were traces of infighting and slaughter among disciples of various sects.

"Senior sister, have all these people gone mad? This is only the first day, how can it be so chaotic?"

His clothes were not much different from the others, but a golden "three" was embroidered on his chest. His waist-length hair was tied into a ponytail with a red ribbon. He had a handsome face and a dashing air about him.

“Those people are not under our jurisdiction. As long as they don’t harm ordinary people, we in the Six Doors will turn a blind eye. Such power struggles are none of our business.”

"Let's go, let's go to the Lingzang Sword Sect first, there should still be a lot of things to do there."

After saying this, he led everyone toward the Lingzang Sword Sect. It didn't take long. This was because all the sects that were fighting tacitly chose to stop when they saw the Six Doors passing by, and dared not make a move when they passed by.

The claim of corpses strewn across the field is an exaggeration, but the once massive Lingzang Sword Sect had become a living hell, with everyone killed, most of them by a single sword through the throat.

"Everyone was pierced through the throat with a single, precise strike, the technique was swift and the swordsmanship superb, clearly the work of a master swordsman."

Upon arriving here, before the senior sister could even speak, a man in blue robes wearing white gloves appeared beside her and told her everything he had discovered.

"Sixth Junior Brother, your autopsies have always been the best in the sect. Have you found anything else?"

However, the senior sister ignored the man who came to her side, and instead spoke to the man in blue who was still examining the corpse not far away after she arrived.

Even after being asked the question, the sixth junior brother, who hadn't looked up, continued to carefully examine the corpse on the ground.

"There were no wounds on their bodies, not even any hidden injuries. Moreover, these people seemed to have made no preparations at all, as if they had delivered themselves to be killed."
