A Journey Through the Martial World After Transforming into a Loli

Lin Xueyi didn't quite understand the Grandmaster realm. So many people in the martial arts world seemed to respect Grandmasters, but they also gave off a sense of fear. She didn't know what exactly a Grandmaster was.

In truth, Lin Xueyi still hadn't figured it out. Grandmasters had become the most elite experts in the martial world, far beyond what could be dealt with by sheer numbers. If you angered them, unless you knew someone at the Grandmaster level yourself, you were almost certain to die, and it might even implicate your sect or family. Under such pressure, they naturally both respected and feared Grandmasters.

"This is a private courtyard, Master Lin. You may stay here. I have arranged guest rooms for the others, all of which are not far from here. If you have any other needs, just tell our disciples and they will let me know."

"Then I'll have to trouble you all."

Lin Xueyi was very grateful for the meticulous arrangements made by the Fengke Sect Leader, and naturally she had to reciprocate politely.

"You all must be tired from your journey. I will arrange for dinner to be delivered to you. Please rest first."

After settling the Grandmaster-level expert in place, Feng Ke led the elders who had come with him out.

"Sect Leader, are you so sure that little girl is a Grandmaster? Don't let her be deceived and our Huating Sword Sect become a laughing stock in the martial arts world."

One of the elderly men, whose hair was already gray, expressed great doubt about Lin Xueyi being a Grandmaster. Of course, such doubt was understandable, since it was hard to believe that a young girl of such a young age could be a Grandmaster.

"Of course I know, but in this kind of thing, we just need to do what we should do. It would be better if she were a Grandmaster, but if not, what's wrong with us taking care of a young girl all alone in the world? Is there anything wrong with that?"

These words left the elders, who had previously harbored some doubts, momentarily at a loss for words. The sect only had one secluded courtyard; what would they do if another expert came?

“Elder Li, I understand what you mean. That secluded courtyard was originally Youyou’s boudoir. Now that Youyou has married far away, no one has lived there for a long time. What’s wrong with letting Master Lin live there now?”

Seeing that the sect leader had made up his mind, and knowing that further persuasion would be futile, Elder Li could only hope that the people who came to participate in the Young Heroes Gathering were all easy to talk to.

As for Sect Leader Feng Ke, he was actually a little unsure of himself, but at this time, he had to stand up to everyone's opinions. Since the matter had already been taken on, it had to be done well. Doing it halfway would not only not make people feel comfortable, but would also arouse their resentment.

"Ugh... I'm so bored. Life is getting more and more boring. Seriously, nobody's even showing up to let me have some fun."

Lying in bed, enjoying the food Ye Qin'er fed her and the gentle massage on her forehead, Lin Xueyi still felt incredibly bored. No computer, no phone, no novels, nothing at all, which made this former homebody feel that life was utterly unexciting.

It's not as good as when I was with Ruoxue before, when we could occasionally fight together and spar. Even though we wouldn't use our full strength, it was still better than doing nothing like this now.

"Xueyi, what's so boring about this? How could I be bored with me by your side?"

Hmm... I think I said something I shouldn't have. Lin Xueyi blinked. "No, no, I just feel a little uneasy that there are no assassins causing trouble today. Yeah, I'm just not used to it."

"You're so good with words, that little mouth of yours is so good at lying." Perhaps because they were getting to know each other better, and knowing that Lin Xueyi wouldn't really get angry over jokes, Ye Qin'er gradually let go of some of her awe and instead became closer to her.

A slender, jade-like finger touched her forehead, and as Ye Qin'er spoke in a doting tone, Lin Xueyi playfully stuck out her tongue and closed one eye for a moment.

The room was cozy, but the atmosphere within the Huating Sword Sect was far from peaceful. A man dressed in northern-style clothing strode in, accompanied by two young women.

"Let me tell you, it's true that we can't easily enter Qingyuan Temple. After all, it's a temple, and it's understandable that they wouldn't let us in. But the Huating Sword Sect won't do that. Don't worry, they'll definitely arrange a small courtyard for you to stay in."

Mondley, second only to that grandmaster in Yuanzhou, usually enjoys taking on beautiful female disciples. At least five of his female disciples have already made a name for themselves in Yuanzhou. This time, he came to Qingzhou to introduce his two newly recruited disciples to the experts outside. However...

"Master, the martial arts world in Qingzhou is nothing special. All those so-called young heroes along the way are just empty shells with silver spears; not a single one of them can fight."

To be honest, before they came here with their master, their master spoke highly of the martial arts world in Qingzhou, almost saying that their skill level would be at the bottom in Qingzhou. But after arriving, they found that it was not like that at all.

From the beginning, they were cautious and afraid of encountering any experts. Now, they all think that their master is old and blind, and that there is no one in Qingzhou who can defeat them.

Looking at his two disciples, Mondley couldn't help but sigh. He had originally hoped to give them a setback, since their five senior sisters were already well-known female warriors in the martial arts world in Yuanzhou.

Even if we don't care about the monks, we should still respect the Buddha. Some martial arts forces won't go against the two of them, so they hope to take advantage of this gathering of young heroes to let their disciples see the young talents of the martial arts world.

Then, along the way, the young heroes of Qingzhou were just not up to par. Not a single one of them showed up. It was unclear whether they were just lucky and didn't encounter any, or whether there was simply no young hero in Qingzhou who could defeat their two disciples.

As someone who frequently travels the martial world, Mondley still preferred the first option, so he solemnly brought his two disciples to the Huating Sword Sect.

Although the disciples here may not be a match for his two disciples, the people who come here as guests are very likely to be such beings.

"You should know that there are always people more capable than you when you travel the martial world. How can you have such thoughts? No matter what, Qingzhou's strength is only average, which is perfect for you to practice. Moreover, this Young Heroes Gathering is not just for the rising stars of Qingzhou. Disciples from the other three upper states are also participating. Blind arrogance is not acceptable."

After being reprimanded by their master, one of the pretty women nodded in agreement, while the other looked on with obvious disdain.

“Master, isn’t strength always the most important thing in the martial arts world? If you’re not as skilled as others, you’re not as skilled. In the martial arts world, being bad is the original sin. If you’re ridiculed, just stand firm and endure it.”

Mondley could only sigh slightly at his two apprentices with such different personalities. It seemed that he, as their master, still had a lot to learn and improve.

"Haha, so it's the Northern Tiger of Yuanzhou—Hero Meng! My apologies for not recognizing you."

I don't know what kind of luck I had today. Before, Lin Xueyi, who was a Grandmaster, came to stay. Now, Meng Deli, who is second only to the Grandmaster in the Yuanzhou in the far north, is here. What kind of great luck did their Huating Sword Sect have?

"So it's Sect Leader Feng. It's a pleasure to meet you. These two are my disciples. I brought them here to broaden their horizons and let them see the talents of Qingzhou during this Young Heroes Gathering."

Mondley's polite words were just for show. Although this expert at the peak of the Innate Realm was not in Qingzhou, he was still a legend in the martial arts world.

He once slew Elder Klude of the Shura Sect, pursued the infamous Four Elders of Changchun for thousands of miles, defeated the Sword Saint Kojima Izumi of Dongyingzhou, and killed Luo Haochang, the former Left Protector of Youming Ghost Valley and the Thousand-Faced Ghost King. The title of the Tiger of the North is not one that just anyone can possess.

"These two must be Master Meng's beloved disciples. They are indeed full of vigor. I'm afraid that the young heroes who have come to participate in the Young Heroes Gathering are about to encounter formidable enemies."

"Hmph, what skills do those people have? What kind of formidable enemies are they? In the end, they will all be defeated by us, my fellow disciples."

Looking awkwardly at the two women overflowing with confidence, Feng Ke was really embarrassed to say that if that grandmaster were to take the stage, even their master might not be a match for him. Yet they were still so arrogant, truly like frogs in a well, unaware of their own limitations.

But since he was Mondley's apprentice, Feng Ke couldn't be too explicit, so he just laughed it off and led the group inside.

"Master Meng, there are so many people coming here these past few days that we don't have many rooms left, so please make do for now."

Mondley didn't seem to mind; after all, when traveling the world, he didn't care much about food and lodging. However, his two disciples looked displeased. In their eyes, only those with ability could live well, while those without ability could only sleep on the streets.

But their master didn't say anything, and they couldn't argue with him here. They just thought that when they got inside, they would find a room they liked, fight the people inside, and after they were defeated, they would see if those people still had the face to stay here.

Following the Wind Master, Yu Xiulin and Yu Xiuying carefully examined the houses. They were all guest rooms, and nothing particularly special about them.

"Hmm, they all look pretty much the same. Isn't there a single decent house here?"

"Xiulin, Xiuying, you two can't be so rude. It's already disrespectful of us to come and disturb Sect Leader Feng. What else is there to complain about? Apologize to Sect Leader Feng."

Xiuying pouted unhappily and turned her eyes away. However, Xiulin, who was more obedient, listened to her master's words and was about to apologize to Feng Ke when Feng Ke stopped her.

"Haha, our sect isn't anything special, so we're sorry to trouble you two with the accommodations." To be honest, Feng Ke was very annoyed by these two impolite female disciples, but since they had a good master, they couldn't directly confront them.

Even though Mondley had offered to apologize, he couldn't take it seriously and could only express his disgust for them in his heart.

"Hey? Master, I see a small courtyard over there, is that also a guest room?"

Just as Feng Ke was feeling extremely annoyed with the two female disciples of Mondley, he heard them exclaim in surprise. The content of their exclamation made his heart tighten for some reason, as if he had been caught doing something wrong.

However, as the leader of a sect, he remained calm in the face of this unexpected situation and simply smiled and said, "That was my daughter's room before. Today, a young lady came here to stay, so I let her stay temporarily."

He refused to believe that a powerful figure in the martial arts world, along with his two annoying disciples, would lay a hand on a young girl. If word got out, it would be incredibly shameful.

"Master, let's go take a look and see if it really is just a little girl." Trying to fool us? A little girl coming here to participate in the Young Heroes Gathering? Ha, do they really think they've never been in the martial arts world before?

Before Mondley could even call out to his two disciples, they had already leaped into the courtyard. But the next second, a dragon's roar rang out, and the two were pushed out directly.

"Damn it, who are you to dare to ambush us?"

Yu Xiulin and Yu Xiuying, who were pushed out, were furious. They shouted at the gate of the independent courtyard, as if they might rush in at any moment.

At this moment, Mondley did not stop his two disciples. Instead, he looked thoughtful. Others may not have heard it, but he heard it clearly. The dragon's roar was very loud, but it was very deep, which showed that the person inside had a solid foundation.

"Sect Leader Feng, may I ask who the expert living inside is?"

For some reason, Mondley felt an urge to fight the people inside, a feeling he hadn't experienced in a very long time.

That dragon's roar seemed to have turned on some kind of switch within him, making him even more eager to fight the person who uttered that roar.

However, Feng Ke misunderstood. "Master Meng, the person living inside is just a young girl. I will talk to her about it later, so you don't need to do anything."

Although Lin Xueyi is a Grandmaster, while Mondley is known as the strongest below the Grandmaster level, Mondley has been famous for a long time, while Lin Xueyi has never been famous. Although there are rumors of her fighting with others, her opponents are not well-known masters in the martial arts world, which makes it hard to believe her strength.

"Master, please don't make a move yet. Let us handle this first. He attacked suddenly, and we didn't have time to react, which is why we were hit. He won't be so lucky this time."

At this moment, Zhao Yuxuan also walked out of the courtyard gate in a daze. Up until now, she still hadn't realized what had just happened.

He had just been practicing the Eighteen Subduing Dragon Palms in front of his master when, before he could react, he saw two people leap over from outside the wall and were struck by the force of his palm. Fortunately, he was practicing and hadn't used too much internal energy, otherwise, the two of them would probably have been seriously injured.

"Who are you people? Why did you suddenly jump in from outside? Don't you know that people already live here?"

He was very suspicious of the two women's motives, but considering that this was the Huating Sword Sect, it was impossible for assassins to appear here again, so he was still somewhat curious about their identities.

"Who are we? The ones who killed you." Yu Xiulin was somewhat better off, but Yu Xiuying hated the man who had knocked her out of the courtyard with a single blow.

The two women nodded to each other, clenched their fists tightly, and assumed an attacking stance.

"Sister, let's go! Let's teach this jerk a lesson he'll never forget."

As Yu Xiuying finished speaking, the two launched their attack almost simultaneously. This was not because they were outnumbered, but because Yu Xiuying could clearly sense that this person's palm technique was very special. In order to prevent any accidents, the two decided to attack together.

However, they felt they had overestimated their opponent, but to their utter surprise, with the sound of a dragon's roar, the two were repelled once again.

"Clap clap clap." Even Mondley, who was watching from the sidelines, couldn't help but applaud. Mondley was still impressed by the stranger's skills.

"Not bad, not bad, kid, what kind of martial arts are you using?"

"And who are you?" The two women didn't actually pose any danger to Zhao Yuxuan, but when facing this man, he felt as if he were being stared at by a ferocious beast.

“I am Mondley, from Yuanzhou. And who are you?”

"I am Zhao Yuxuan, a member of the Zhao family of Luoxie City."

The Zhao family of Luoxie City? This unfamiliar force puzzled Mondley. Since a force capable of cultivating such young talents must be quite powerful, there were no rumors about this force in the martial arts world.

However, he didn't dwell on it. There were many hidden sects in the martial arts world, and who knew where he came from to travel? But that dragon's roar did make his hands itch a little.

"You just injured my apprentice, so as their master, I'll help them get back at you properly."

As soon as he spoke, Mondley was about to make a move, but he stopped a second later. At this moment, a little girl appeared at the entrance of the courtyard. She was not tall and her face still had the innocence of a child. However, it was this seemingly harmless little girl who gave him an infinite sense of crisis.

Lin Xueyi was also very annoyed. She and Ye Qin'er were getting along very well. She was lying on Ye Qin'er's lap, eating the dried fruit Ye Qin'er fed her. Life was so comfortable. But her troublesome, no, brainless disciple actually came over and asked her to teach her palm techniques.

Is this a joke? You're not a stunning beauty, so why would she need to give you pointers? Haven't you heard the saying, "The master leads you to the door, but the practice is up to you"? How can you possibly achieve a higher level of breakthrough if you rely on the master's guidance every day?

So Lin Xueyi presented the facts and reasoned with him, and finally, just short of giving him a slap, she made the man realize his problem and obediently find a corner to start practicing.

Seeing all this, Lin Xueyi thought she could continue her previous pleasure with Ye Qin'er, but then she heard a loud bang, followed by the screams of the two women.

After that, there's not much more to say. Just by listening to the shouts outside, you can tell that these peaceful days are completely over. Lin Xueyi thought to herself, "Can't they at least let people have some fun? Can't they even find a quiet place to stay?"

Seeing that Zhao Yuxuan had already left, Lin Xueyi knew that she could no longer stay in the courtyard. Who knew what the situation was outside? Besides, Ye Qin'er could no longer stay in the courtyard with her.
