A Journey Through the Martial World After Transforming into a Loli

When the Pavilion Master spoke, she felt extremely nervous, but after Lin Xueyi refused, the nervousness in her heart seemed to disappear in an instant.

"Master, shouldn't we be leaving now? Aren't we supposed to be attending the Young Heroes Gathering? If we don't leave soon, we might miss it."

Although there was plenty of time, waiting like this would only waste more time, so they had to set off as soon as possible. But their young master was still indulging in a world of pleasure.

Hmm, is it really okay for a young girl like her to be so infatuated with women? Sometimes Zhao Yuxuan was a little confused.

"Oh dear, isn't there still a long time? If you're in a hurry, then... never mind, let me think about it."

Zhao Yuxuan's words not only interrupted Ye Qin'er's thoughts, but also calmed Lin Xueyi down from this gentle embrace, even though this kind of life was quite comfortable.

But Lin Xueyi suddenly remembered that she still needed to find Ruoxue. If she lingered here for too long, what if Ruoxue left the Heroes' Gathering? Wouldn't she have to search for her everywhere then? So it was better to go there as soon as possible.

There was no other way but to leave this paradise for the time being. She just didn't know if she would ever be able to return to enjoy it again. Thinking of this, Lin Xueyi couldn't help but sigh.

When Ye Qin'er saw Lin Xueyi sigh, she already knew her decision. The sadness in her eyes flashed by, and then she continued to smile.

"Xueyi, are you leaving?" Although she already knew the answer, Ye Qin'er still wanted to confirm it again, but when she saw Lin Xueyi nod, her heart clenched.

"Yes, it's time to leave. I've been here for quite a while now, and I still need to go find Sister Ruoxue."

She paused for a moment, then said, "Can't we just stay? Aren't there enough women here?"

Looking up at Ye Qin'er's pretty face, and seeing her reluctance, Lin Xueyi hardened her heart and shook her head.

“That’s different.” It really was different. In her heart, Ruoxue was like family, or something even closer. She was determined to find her.

Knowing Lin Xueyi's thoughts, Ye Qin'er smiled and patted her little head before speaking.

"Okay, then go look for it. If you can't find it, then come back."

Lin Xueyi was somewhat happy to be remembered by such a young lady, but when she thought of Ruoxue, she had to leave this young lady.

"Don't worry, once I find Sister Ruoxue, I will bring her back to see you all."

Looking at Lin Xueyi's adorable smiling face, Ye Qin'er felt a pang of sadness in her heart.

"Xueyi, I'll go prepare some things for you to eat on the way."

After saying that, Ye Qin'er hurriedly left, giving Lin Xueyi no time to react. Lin Xueyi could only open her mouth, somewhat puzzled as to why Ye Qin'er was in such a hurry.

Inside a dark underground palace, a woman's voice came coldly from the depths, "You're saying our plan to take over the Hundred Phoenix Pavilion failed? What exactly happened?"

"My lord, everything went smoothly at first, but then a little girl appeared and killed all of our people by herself. I suspect she is a..." A seductive woman's voice rang out, but before she could finish, she was interrupted by the same lord.

"She is a Grandmaster, Lin Xueyi, this little girl. I never thought she would ruin my plans again. It seems we need to think of a way to recruit her."

The sound seemed to have been deliberately disguised, especially in this underground palace, giving it an eerie feel.

However, for others, it was nothing out of the ordinary. "My lord, it seems that Lin Xueyi is going to the Young Heroes Gathering. We are all prepared. As long as you give the order, the Young Heroes Gathering can be turned into a death feast."

"Hmm, very good, but you still have one more thing to do..."

He whispered his plan to the woman with the alluring voice, "Remember, this matter must be done quickly, before Lin Xueyi arrives at the Young Heroes Gathering. After that, we can sit back and watch the show, and see how those hypocritical righteous martial arts practitioners push Lin Xueyi onto us."

Main Text: Chapter Seventy-Seven: Traveling with You

It was the same coachman, but the carriage had been changed to a much more luxurious one, a gift from Baifeng Pavilion specifically for Lin Xueyi. As for the original carriage... well, don't forget the Zhao family's servants are still here; finding a driver is still possible.

"Xueyi, come visit again when you have time. Our Hunyuan Sect has been developing here for a few years, and maybe our disciples will be able to travel to various places again. You'll have to take good care of us then."

Mu Siyan helped Lin Xueyi carry a large package, walking with her while smiling and talking. Sure enough, she could see a slight blush on the girl's cheeks.

"You don't need me to take care of you. I'm not an expert. There might be people outside who are better than me."

Lin Xueyi's complete lack of self-awareness is to put it another way: she has absolutely no sense of self-worth. Despite being a super expert, she always thinks her cultivation is mediocre. Has she not thought about what she has done along the way?

Although he was full of complaints in his heart, he still maintained a smile on his face, and even took out a few pieces of flatbread from his bag and handed them to Lin Xueyi.

"I fled in a hurry and didn't have any valuables on me. Luckily, Xueqing and the others took us in, so we finally had a place to stay. But we don't have any money on us, so I can only make some flatbread for you to eat on the road."

"Eh? This is already very good, thank you Sister Mu. Um... eh??" Just as she took the pancake from Mu Siyan and was about to thank her, a hand pulled Mu Siyan aside.

Jing Xueqing looked at the flatbread in Lin Xueyi's hand, then expressionlessly turned to Mu Siyan, "You won't even make flatbread for me, but you just gave it to Xiao Xueyi?"

"I'll cook for you when I get back, okay?" Mu Siyan, whose wrist was being squeezed, was speechless. This was no big deal, why was she being so serious? Besides, weren't they seeing Xueyi off? Was it really necessary to treat her like this?

Ignoring Mu Siyan, who was rolling her eyes at him speechlessly, he turned his gaze to Lin Xueyi. "Xueyi, our Hundred Phoenix Pavilion was able to escape this disaster thanks to your help. We are deeply grateful. Please take this token. Whenever you need any information, just take this token to any of our Hundred Phoenix Pavilion's offices in different locations, and we will do our best to help you."

"Ah? This..." Lin Xueyi was about to ask Ruoxue about it, but then she thought it was better for her to find out for herself. Besides, the identities of those black-clad assassins hadn't been investigated yet, and she didn't want anyone to know about Ruoxue's situation.

"Master, please...please...please allow me to accompany Miss Lin and take care of her along the way."

Just as Lin Xueyi thought she could leave, she heard a soft, delicate voice. It was Ye Qin'er's voice, but judging from her breathing, she had probably run all the way here.

However, upon hearing this voice, Lin Xueyi was quite surprised. She had never heard Ye Qin'er mention leaving with her, not even when she was helping her pack last night.

She even kept plenty of homemade snacks in her bag and car to eat on the road. But today she heard that her friend was leaving with her. This was completely unexpected.

"Qin'er... you should think this through. Once you decide to follow someone, you can no longer refer to yourself as a disciple of the Hundred Phoenix Pavilion. Are you really sure you've made up your mind?"

“Master, I know what I’m doing, but Miss Lin is surrounded by men this time, and I’m worried about her. So I want to follow her and take care of her daily needs.”

Looking intently at Ye Qin'er, Jing Xueqing finally sighed, "Since that's the case, then I'll agree. But it also depends on whether Xueyi agrees or not. If she doesn't agree, you can't go with her."

Should she agree? Lin Xueyi was conflicted. On the one hand, she didn't want to add any more people, but on the other hand, she felt that it would be great to have someone take care of her.

After weighing the pros and cons, Lin Xueyi nodded. If she refused in front of so many people, Ye Qin'er might be even more upset later.

"Then come with me, but I'm not a rich man. You might suffer if you follow me."

"Don't worry, Qin'er has some savings. I can use my own savings." As she spoke, Ye Qin'er opened her bag and showed it to Lin Xueyi. The stack of silver notes inside almost blinded her.

"This...this is way too outrageous."

Lin Xueyi felt her head was spinning. Were all ordinary disciples of the Hundred Phoenix Pavilion this rich? Couldn't they be less exaggerated?

Seemingly noticing Lin Xueyi's confusion, Ye Qin'er spoke up, "My fellow disciples knew I was going to come out and follow you, to take care of you, so they specially gave me all the money they had, which is why it looks like a lot."

"Oh, I see. I was wondering why. It really scared me. Let's go, everyone, let's set off together."

Lin Xueyi sat on the carriage, waved her arms in front of her, and under everyone's gaze, Lin Xueyi and her group embarked on their journey to the Young Heroes Gathering.

Watching Lin Xueyi and the others' carriage gradually disappear from sight, Mu Siyan then turned her gaze to her friend, Fairy Huangyin Jing Xueqing.

"I'm telling you, the silver notes on Ye Qin'er were your doing, weren't they? What exactly is your purpose in sending that girl Ye Qin'er to Xueyi's side?"

When her friend suddenly questioned her like this, Jing Xueqing remained completely calm, still smiling as she replied, "What motive could I possibly have? Isn't it good for Qin'er to be by Xueyi's side taking care of her?"

"It's certainly a good thing that someone is taking care of Xueyi, but you're giving her such a large sum of money in this way, and even having one of the best disciples from the Hundred Phoenix Pavilion by her side..."

Jing Xueqing stopped her from speaking by covering her lips with her finger. "I'm just doing this to build a good relationship with Lin Xueyi. What's the big deal? She's a Grandmaster-level expert. If anything happens to our Hundred Phoenix Pavilion in the future, even if we don't care about her, we'll have to consider her. Qin'er won't stand idly by. At that time, Lin Xueyi will naturally become our support. Isn't that a very simple and clear outcome?"

"That's it?" Mu Siyan scratched her head. She could understand this approach; after all, forming a bond with a Grandmaster-level expert was a rare and precious thing. She just didn't know whether Qin'er knew this or not.

Main text: Chapter Seventy-Eight: The Assassin (Two chapters published together)

"On the banyan tree by the pond, cicadas are chirping loudly, heralding summer; on the swings by the playground, only butterflies rest..."

With her legs dangling over the side of the carriage, a cute little girl was softly humming a song that didn't exist in this world, a song whose meaning the people of this world couldn't understand.

As Ye Qin'er listened to Lin Xueyi singing this beautiful song in her cute and innocent voice, she couldn't help but tap her feet to the beat, and she became even more convinced of Lin Xueyi's reputation as a talented woman.

"Miss Lin, the song you just sang was really beautiful. What's it called?"

After the song ended, Ye Qin'er finally found a chance to talk to Lin Xueyi. Naturally, she had to ask the name of the song. The simple melody was refreshing and the catchy lyrics were irresistible.

The girl, who had successfully copied the book again, felt ashamed that no one else had done the same thing. Instead, she smiled shyly and accepted the other person's compliment.

"This song is called Childhood. What do you think? Isn't it nice?"

"Yes, it sounds beautiful. Miss Lin, please sing it a few more times. It's always very pleasant to listen to."

The idea that music knows no borders has existed in the world for a long time. Regardless of the content, the rhythm and melody of a song can give people from different cultures a common taste and resonance.

Just as Lin Xueyi was about to sing "Childhood" again, she heard a cracking sound behind her—the sound of a tree being snapped in two by a single blow.

Ye Qin'er was at a loss for words. Along the way, while Lin Xueyi would occasionally sing and chat, Zhao Yuxuan was busy taking pictures of the trees. Regardless of size, all the trees along the way were knocked askew, either broken in half or uprooted. In any case, very few trees escaped this fate.

Especially when she heard Zhao Yuxuan's smug laughter, if she weren't currently unable to beat this jerk, she would have slapped him to death long ago, and he wouldn't still be alive now.

"Master, Master, have I mastered the Eighteen Subduing Dragon Palms? Look at the power of my palm strike just now; it's completely different from before."

Lin Xueyi was very unhappy. Her idea about her apprentice was to let him grow up freely. He wasn't a pretty young lady, so there was no need to keep an eye on him all the time.

Of course, if it's a pretty young lady like Ye Qin'er, she won't hesitate to offer guidance, preferably the kind that's hands-on and allows her to subtly take advantage of the situation. Oh, wait, can guidance between a master and disciple be called taking advantage? It's guidance born of love.

However, Zhao Yuxuan was completely oblivious to Lin Xueyi's impatience; his mind was filled with excitement at being able to master the Eighteen Subduing Dragon Palms.

"Although the Eighteen Subduing Dragon Palms are easy to learn, they are very difficult to master. They lack strength and are too soft. The first few moves lack the momentum of advancing bravely. The last move should have been a balance of strength and softness, but it is softer than strong. You still say you have graduated? Go find a place to practice on your own right now."

The blunt criticism was like a bucket of cold water poured over Zhao Yuxuan's head, which had been making him very proud. His enthusiasm was completely dampened, and he dejectedly prepared to turn around and go to the back of the line to continue practicing.

Of course, the servants dared not speak out when they saw their young master being criticized so severely. After all, this was the master disciplining his disciple, and they could not interrupt. However, they were filled with envy for their young master's skills.

The young master, who was originally inferior to himself, has now achieved such success under the tutelage of this young girl; it's simply unbelievable. However, the master looks completely dissatisfied, seemingly disregarding the young master's efforts.

If this girl weren't a grandmaster, they would have gone to reason with her long ago. Now, well, they don't have the guts. They can only continue to watch their young master live in misery.

As Old Zhang drove his carriage, watching this scene unfold, a smile crept across his face. He flicked his whip, allowing the carriage to pick up a little speed.

Suddenly, there was a commotion in the woods, and several figures shot out from the trees not far away. The moment the shadows appeared, dozens of cold beams shot towards Lin Xueyi and her group.

With a cold snort, Old Zhang wielded his whip with impenetrable speed, knocking all the cold blades to the ground. Only then did Ye Qin'er realize that these fallen objects were actually dozens of sharp throwing knives.

"Tsk tsk, what sins have I committed to deserve this trouble wherever I go?"

As Lin Xueyi watched the masked men in black approaching her, she frowned slightly. The murderous aura emanating from them was strong, but it was clearly different from the men in black she had met that night. Therefore, Lin Xueyi was somewhat puzzled about their motives for coming here.

"Who are you people, and why are you blocking our way?"

"The person who killed you blocked the road to tell you that your chance of survival is gone and there is no way to live."

Lin Xueyi blinked, confused as to why these people wanted to kill her, since she hadn't done anything wrong.

"Master, Master, there's an assassin! Don't do it, I'll do it, I'll do it!"

Zhao Yuxuan, who had been practicing against trees all along, was incredibly excited when he saw the assassins appear. Finally, he could have a real fight and test the results of his practice over the past period of time.

It's no wonder he was anxious. If his master were to make a move, these people wouldn't stand a chance. One slap and they'd be reduced to dust. What would he have left to fight?

"If you want to make a move, then do it. I won't stop you. But they are probably all assassins, so you should be careful and not do anything foolish like showing mercy."

Although Lin Xueyi wasn't worried about Zhao Yuxuan's abilities, his first real combat experience, especially against assassins, was somewhat dangerous. So, Lin Xueyi gave him some instructions and then said nothing more. Anyway, with her there, these assassins couldn't hurt him.
