A Journey Through the Martial World After Transforming into a Loli

Main text: Chapter 120 Feng Linyang

Riding a tall horse and dressed in fine clothes, Feng Linyang swayed his head and walked home with his caravan, looking quite content. The caravan of Zhaoyuan Escort Agency was already approaching its headquarters in Luoxie City.

"Uncle Tiger, why do those people need so many weapons? I don't think they belong to any sect or power, yet they need so many weapons and protective gear."

The middle-aged man called Uncle Tiger is Zhou Yanghu, one of the head镖师 (bodyguards/escorts) of Zhaoyuan镖局 (镖局 is a type of security escort agency). This time, he also took his young head镖师 (bodyguard/escort) out for a trip so that he could also familiarize himself with the business.

In fact, Feng Kenan, the chief镖头 (chief镖头, head镖师) of Zhaoyuan镖局 (镖局 is a type of security escort agency), does not only have one son. However, his other two sons are too young to be independent, so the chief镖头 is thinking of finding a successor in advance.

After all, this line of work may seem glamorous, but it's actually a life of constant danger. You never know when you might leave and never come back. So it's essential to prepare a successor in advance.

However, Feng Linyang didn't think so. Nothing beats home. Although there were several other forces in Luo Xie City, most of them knew each other.

Basically, everyone keeps to themselves and avoids conflict whenever possible. Even if conflict is unavoidable, it's settled over drinks. Of course, there are exceptions, such as the Zhao and Sun families, who absolutely cannot stand each other.

He finally delivered the goods to their destination and completed his mission. Now, after more than a month, he would have to make up for lost time back in Luoshe City.

Before I left, several new people came to Baifeng Pavilion. Although they probably already have customers now, on the other hand, maybe their skills have improved.

"Young Master Escort, we've been away for a month now. I'm sure the Chief Escort misses you. After you get home, why don't you go back to the Escort Agency first?"

Zhou Yanghu knew the young head镖师 (bodyguard/escort) of the镖局 (escort agency) all too well. In fact, the other镖师 did not like this young head镖师 very much. If the two young masters were not too young and not yet able to stand on their own, he probably wouldn't have been chosen as the young head镖师.

The second young master, in particular, is humble and ambitious, and a rare genius in cultivation. It's just a pity he's still too young. If he were older, perhaps the position of young head镖师 (bodyguard/escort) would be his.

"Oh... No need, it's fine for you all to go back. I'll take a few people to Zouma Street first to check out the situation there. I estimate that Li Hao has already reached the Acquired Realm, and I also need to arrange some things for him to do."

Upon hearing the name Li Hao from the young镖头 (bodyguard/escort), Zhou Yanghu frowned. He knew this man; aside from anything else, Li Hao had a bad reputation in Luoxie City. He was notorious for bullying men and women and committing all sorts of evil deeds on Zouma Street. If it weren't for the fact that Li Hao was always with his young镖头, Zhou Yanghu would have taken action to eliminate this menace.

Looking at the young镖头 (bodyguard/escort) now, Zhou Yanghu hesitated to speak, but ultimately did not voice his concerns.

As Luo Xie City came into view, Feng Linyang, who had been holding back for over a month, could no longer contain his excitement. He cracked his whip and addressed Zhou Yanghu.

"Uncle Tiger, I'll go ahead first. I'll tell my father later that I'll be eating out tonight and that he shouldn't wait for me."

Without giving Zhou Yanghu any time to stop him, Feng Linyang had already led his few loyal men and galloped off on horseback. Despite calling him "Uncle Hu," he was extremely dissatisfied with these镖头 (bodyguards/escorts).

He was the young head镖师 (bodyguard/escort) of the Zhaoyuan镖局 (escort agency), yet in their eyes, he wasn't as pleasing as the second son at home. Whose future would the Zhaoyuan镖局 (escort agency) belong to? It was his! Shouldn't they be trying to build a good relationship with him instead of getting along so well with the second son at home?

The most important thing is, what's so good about the son born to that lowly maid of the second son? His mother was just a lowly servant girl, how could she compare to him? He is the future chief镖头 (chief镖师, head镖师) of Zhaoyuan镖局 (镖局 is a type of security escort agency in China).

If he doesn't work properly for him, he won't have a place in the Zhaoyuan Escort Agency in the future.

Thinking this, he led his men on horseback at full speed. Although he had many thoughts, his most urgent task was to find Li Hao as soon as possible and have him take him to a nice place to wash up properly, preferably with a pair of soft little hands to help him wash.

"Ah, beauties of Roche, I, Feng Linyang, am back again."

Feng Linyang, who said this, probably didn't know that a scumbag surnamed Hu had also said something similar, but the result after he said it was simply gratifying.

Meanwhile, Lin Xueyi in the city also had her own troubles, because she was stopped by a cute young boy. This boy was very polite and, of course, very cute, so it was difficult to ask him to leave directly.

"Miss Yiyi, this is the famous Wanpinlou in our Luoxie City. It has many precious and exquisite ornaments. Shall we go in and take a look?"

Feng Linzheng, the second young master of Zhaoyuan Escort Agency, saw this lovely little girl, who was about his age, while he was wandering around outside.

Although he knew the other person didn't really like him, he still approached them. However, he was currently working as a tour guide and hadn't done anything that would make anyone uncomfortable.

"Hey, aren't you the young master of the Zhaoyuan Escort Agency? Why are you out here acting as a tour guide? Is that appropriate?"

Hearing this little girl, who was about the same age as him, say this, Feng Linzheng could only smile bitterly. He couldn't very well say that although he worked very hard, his status in the Zhaoyuan Escort Agency was not high because of his mother's identity. Although a few escort leaders cared about him, most of them only guided his cultivation and did not provide him with any material support.

So in order to continue his cultivation, he would secretly run away to guide some tourists who were obviously wealthy, just like the tour guide that Miss Yiyi mentioned.

As for why she's called Miss Yiyi, it's simply because I still don't know her full name, only that she's called Xueyi. I only found out because the pretty young lady next to me let it slip.

"Alright, alright, here's twenty taels of silver as payment for leading the way. We'll be heading back soon, so you don't need to follow us anymore."

As human beings, we should have some compassion, especially towards people who are clearly like the male protagonist in a novel. We should treat them better, because who knows when they might suddenly become powerful.

Taking the two heavy silver ingots from that fair little hand, Feng Linzheng struggled slightly before returning one of them.

"One piece is already too much; I can't take this one."

Thank you to reader @{"reader_id":"1431617","reader_name":"Love Milk, Not Soy Milk"} for the generous donation. I heard that spicy strips have recently become a hot commodity for traveling abroad. I wonder if that's true?

Main Text: Chapter 121 Going to the Hundred Phoenix Pavilion

"Xueyi, our money doesn't grow on trees. If you keep giving a little here and a little there, it'll get a bit..."

"A bit wasteful, isn't it?" Before Ye Qin'er could finish speaking, Lin Xueyi shook her head with amusement. Anyway, the money wasn't hers; it was just a small favor. To put it bluntly, it was just doing a favor and using someone else's money to help someone else. There was really nothing wrong with it.

However, Ye Qin'er still felt very uncomfortable about this, but since the money was given to Lin Xueyi, she couldn't say much. Moreover, judging from the people she had met before, this second young master's reputation was much better than that of the eldest young master.

Especially considering that after receiving the money, he claimed it was too much and wanted to return half to Xueyi, this second young master's mindset is quite extraordinary.

"He knows what he needs and what he wants, but I don't see anything good in that second young master's eyes either."

Lin Xueyi wasn't very good at understanding people's hearts, but in the eyes of this second young master, she saw a look of ambition. But thinking about it, it made sense. If someone who was oppressed in various ways didn't want to fight back, the result would only be to perish in silence.

"Oh... our little Xueyi can even read people's minds now."

Don't think she can't hear the sarcasm. Lin Xueyi glanced at the woman unhappily. Hmph, a two-faced person. She's a seasoned two-faced person.

"It's obvious that a young girl and a young woman walking with her are a rare pairing, and recently there's also a grandmaster hanging around here, taking money from the Zhao family. Do you think his coming to see me was a coincidence or intentional?"

Lin Xueyi's words were actually Ye Qin'er's thoughts. If it were anyone else, it would be understandable, since ordinary people wouldn't know that Lin Xueyi was here. But as one of the four major powers in Luoxie City, it would be a bit unreasonable if Zhaoyuan Escort Agency didn't know.

Especially since they stayed at the Zhao family's house and went out to play today, this information wasn't hard to find out. So, if this person really wanted to use this opportunity to find Xueyi, it wouldn't be impossible. But what was his purpose? Just for twenty taels of silver?

Suddenly, her eyes widened as she realized something else: "Could this person have been targeting you from the beginning?"

Thinking back to when Ye Qin'er first encountered Ma Linzheng, she felt it was all very deliberate, as if he had come specifically to find them. However, when he approached them, other people around them seemed used to it and didn't find it abrupt.

"If what he says about his situation at the Zhaoyuan Escort Agency being so miserable is true, then twenty taels of silver would be enough for him to happily accept it and return half of it. Ha, rather than believing in his character, I'd rather believe he did it on purpose. Small gains are not what he desires; he has a bigger goal."

Does this goal even need asking? It's already out in the open. Ye Qin'er looked at this cute little girl. Although she said she wanted to find a good family for him in the future, when the time really came, she would probably be the one who would be the most reluctant to part with him.

"Let's go. Even if he really has other motives, he'll naturally come back to me. There's no need to dwell on it here."

Lin Xueyi waved her hand, noticing that it was getting late, and naturally she had to prepare to go home. Tonight she had come up with a great idea: to take Ye Qin'er out to Baifeng Pavilion to broaden her horizons.

As for whether Ye Qin'er agrees or not, well, she's going anyway. Being willful is a little girl's privilege. If they don't let her go, she'll sneak out and see what she chooses.

The little girl, who had made up her mind to go to an ancient brothel to broaden her horizons, was already looking forward to tonight.

Segmentation ray biubiu——————————

Hey you guys hurry up, we'll be at the Obsidian Gang soon. Why haven't any of those bastards come out today? They're all hiding under the covers counting sheep.

Ma Linyang, who had hurriedly entered the city with his subordinates, had arrived at Zouma Street. However, the street was deserted and not as lively as before.

He cursed Li Hao, saying he must have done something to make the street performers hide away, but since Li Hao was his confidant, he wouldn't reprimand his subordinate for the sake of these lowly people.

As Ma Linyang kicked the door open as usual, the further he went inside, the more uneasy he felt; something was clearly wrong.

Hearing the grunting sounds coming from inside the house, if it wasn't the squealing of pigs, then these people must be injured. Ma Linyang thought he was very clever, otherwise he wouldn't have reacted so quickly, so he led his men and rushed inside.

What came into view was the members of the Obsidian Gang being beaten black and blue one after another. In fact, although it was called a gang, it was just a small force of a dozen or so people. Such a force was nothing in Luo Xie City. If it weren't for him backing them up, they would have been gone long ago.

But it is precisely because they have someone backing them up that no one will bother them, and no one will be so reckless as to cause trouble and injure them.

"Who on earth beat you up like this...? What the hell are you? Get away from me."

Just as Li Hao was about to lean over to answer Young Master Ma Linyang's question, he was suddenly slapped back by the other party, who spoke with the utmost disdain.

"Young Master, it's me, Li Hao. It's me, Li Hao."

He stared in disbelief at the man before him, whose face was completely disfigured—no, more like a pig's head—who was actually his best lackey. This... this was too... cough cough... He didn't laugh, he really didn't laugh, only the corners of his lips involuntarily turned up slightly.

After the initial smile—or rather, the upturn of his lips—Ma Linyang was filled with anger. How dare someone harm his people in Luo Xie City? This was simply intolerable.

"Who did it? Sun Liang from the Sun family, or Zhao Yumo from the Zhao family, or perhaps...?"

"It's someone from the Zhao family, but not Zhao Yumo. It's a young girl. Young master, I'm innocent! I was just collecting protection money. She couldn't stand it. After I said that you were my backer, she didn't care at all and even beat me up like this."

"The Zhao family has been making quite a splash lately. Perfect timing! I'll find a way to cause trouble for Zhao Yuxuan and put him in his place. As for the others, humph, I don't believe the Zhao family would dare offend our Zhaoyuan Escort Agency."

Ma Linyang angrily slammed his riding whip to the ground, but then he thought that since he had just returned today, he shouldn't make things worse with the other party for the time being, and should wait until tomorrow daytime to deal with it.

"It's getting late. Let's go to Baifeng Pavilion tonight, and tomorrow I'll go to the Zhao family myself and find out what they're up to."

Main Text: Chapter 122 Zhao Yumo's Ambition

When Lin Xueyi reappeared at the Zhao family's gate, the news that this grandmaster had returned to the Zhao family spread like wildfire to everyone in the family.

Zhao Yuxuan's cold mockery had temporarily deterred these people from their desire to obtain the Eighteen Subduing Dragon Palms and the Dragon Capturing Skill from Lin Xueyi. However, they would not easily let go of this distinguished guest who had come to their home.

In particular, this guest was seen as an inexperienced young girl, and they felt they would be at a disadvantage if they couldn't get some benefits from her.

"Yu Mo, Lin Xueyi has returned to the Zhao family. It seems she plans to stay here for a few days. What are your thoughts?"

Zhao Yumo's master naturally already knew that Lin Xueyi and Zhao Yuxuan had returned alive, but this didn't really affect his goals. As long as Zhao Yuxuan was involved between the Zhao and Sun families, there would definitely be problems. What he needed to do was to make the conflict between the two families even more acute.

However, to achieve this, he needed to have insiders from both families, preferably direct relatives. In the Zhao family, he chose Zhao Yumo, and in the Sun family, they also had someone, but he didn't know who this person from the Sun family was.

“Master, I’ve made up my mind. I’ll go see Lin Xueyi with a gift right away. I believe that with my talent and the gift, she will definitely accept me as her disciple.”

Hearing his disciple say this, the master, unusually, did not refute it. After all, the other party was also a grandmaster, and his goal was not just to have a disciple. If he could suppress Lin Xueyi, the biggest unknown, he would be more confident in his plan.

"Yes, go ahead. I believe in you. Your aptitude is the best I've ever seen. You'll definitely be chosen by them. However, you also need to be prepared. Grandmasters are different from us when they take on disciples. They have their own ideas. Don't have high hopes on the first try. You'll have a chance if you go several times."

Zhao Yumo is capable and has excellent aptitude, but he is too arrogant. If he is rejected once, he might develop a dislike for Lin Xueyi. In order to get him to help him keep an eye on Lin Xueyi, he must persist a few more times.

Moreover, if he fails multiple times, Zhao Yumo will naturally try every means to offend Lin Xueyi. At that time, this grandmaster might not be harsh on the Zhao family out of respect for Zhao Yuxuan, but other forces would not be so easy to deal with. Thinking of his various plans, this master was inwardly laughing wildly.

Led by a maid, Ye Qin'er and Lin Xueyi quickly returned to their room. The other maids naturally brought a basin of hot water for Lin Xueyi to wash her hands and face.

After hearing Lin Xueyi's polite thanks, the maid seemed a little flustered. After all, this was someone their master had strictly ordered them to serve well. To be honest, these maids were still a little nervous about serving a young girl.

Unlike adults, who are usually willful, the maid could cause trouble for her family if she didn't serve them well. But seeing how polite this little girl was, the maid breathed a sigh of relief.

"Alright, you can go now. I'll take care of Xueyi here."

He took a towel from a maid, dipped it in hot water, and carefully wiped Lin Xueyi's delicate face, making her face even more tender and rosy after being wiped by the hot towel.

"Xiao Xueyi looks even cuter now."

I had just finished wiping my face when this woman suddenly hugged me tightly. Although it felt soft and comfortable, the face wash made it hard to breathe after a while.

Swinging her arms, Lin Xueyi struggled, but dared not exert any real force, and could only stammer out words in this warm embrace.

"Ugh, sister, I can't breathe!"
