Chapter 262 The Witch of the Martial World 3
On this special day, Qingyu also quietly appeared in Yuya Town.
She was dressed in a bright red dress, blooming like a red lotus in the bustling crowd, making her stand out from the crowd.
This small town is also a small checkpoint in the story. Don't be fooled by its unremarkable appearance; it is actually full of hidden talents, and the first manual of the Six Yang Divine Skill is hidden here.
In the original story, the male and female protagonists came here to try their luck for the first time, but unexpectedly helped others and thus obtained the Six Yang Divine Skill.
Qingyu's purpose was to come and stir up this plot.
She strolled leisurely along the way, eventually choosing an inn to stay temporarily. But as soon as she entered, she sensed something was amiss. The landlady and the staff exuded a menacing aura, looking like fierce demons...
Qingyu suddenly thought of a shady inn in a certain movie.
Intrigued, she glanced at him and asked in a raised voice, "What are your local specialties?"
"Steamed buns." The proprietress, still charming, recommended with a smile, "You must be from out of town, young lady? Our steamed buns from Yuya Town are not only delicious, but also imbued with divine spirit. Would you like one?"
Qingyu chuckled and shook her head casually. "No, I'm trying to maintain my figure. Give me two vegetarian dishes instead."
She didn't want to taste anything unusual.
Indeed, the martial arts world is both dangerous and disgusting.
Upon hearing this, the proprietress's smile faded slightly. However, after sizing up the woman in front of her for a while, she noticed her good demeanor and dared not act rashly. She could only suppress her thoughts and instruct the kitchen to prepare the dishes.
A man in the kitchen, however, seemed to be deep in thought and whispered, "Could they be from the Demonic Sect?"
A woman dressed in red with such an extraordinary air is a rare sight in the martial arts world, except perhaps for the Holy Maiden of the Demonic Sect.
The proprietress's heart skipped a beat. She wanted to look Qingyu up and down again, but the latter had already gracefully gone upstairs. She watched Qingyu's back with her eyebrows furrowed tightly.
The arrival of the Demonic Sect... that's not a good thing, as this is just a "small business" for her.
"Never mind," the proprietress sighed. "Don't provoke her, just treat her normally."
The man nodded, but his eyes deepened, a dark glint flashing within them, as if he were deep in thought.
Meanwhile, Guo Xiao and his group also entered this small town full of festive atmosphere.
The Lin siblings followed Guo Xiao, secretly plotting how to subtly guide him to explore the mysterious Six Yang Divine Skill.
The two felt they shouldn't be too hasty. Guo Xiao had good luck in his dream, but he was letting things take their natural course, and they didn't dare to disrupt the order.
Therefore, after entering the town, they still went to the inn as usual.
"Are you three looking for a hotel or a meal?"
Upon entering and hearing the familiar female voice, Lin Shiwan felt a chill run down her spine. She instinctively grabbed Lin Shinian's arm, who gave her a reassuring look and said coldly, "You eat while you stay at the hotel."
Guo Xiao took the lead and sat down at a table. After looking around, he noticed that there were quite a few martial arts practitioners around him. His brows relaxed considerably, and he chimed in, "Yes, bring us your signature dishes."
"Our specialty is steamed buns. They have thin skins and generous fillings, and taste amazing. Would you like a few, young man?" The proprietress greeted him with a beaming smile, enthusiastically promoting her wares.
Lin Shiwan's face had turned completely pale, and Lin Shinian's expression was also very unpleasant. Guo Xiao, not understanding what was going on, was about to agree when she suddenly caught a glimpse of red flashing upstairs out of the corner of her eye—
He's been a bit sensitive to the color red lately, so he immediately stood up to chase after it.
Lin Shinian grabbed the person, "Xiaodi? What's wrong?"
Guo Xiao frowned, her thin lips pressed tightly together, "It's nothing..."
You must have misread it.
Lin Shinian breathed a sigh of relief, but also felt a little puzzled. Had Guo Xiao discovered something?
He didn't dare to ask, so he said to the proprietress, "No need for steamed buns, we don't like them. Three bowls of vegetarian noodles will do."
It's vegetarian again.
The proprietress felt a chill run down her spine, but nodded calmly, glanced at the group, and turned to go into the kitchen.
Seeing her leave, Lin Shiwan finally relaxed. When she looked up and met Guo Xiao's questioning gaze, her heart tightened, and she forced a smile, saying, "This is my first time traveling so far... I'm a little nervous. Brother Xiao, do you think we're looking for anything in this town? Will there be a lot of people trying to steal it?"
What they were looking for was the Six Yang Divine Skill. Guo Xiao didn't know the current status of this skill, but he had observed that this ordinary town had so many martial arts practitioners, so it seemed that it was indeed extraordinary.
"Maybe so, let's stay for a few days and see."
The group nodded casually, but when the noodles arrived, Lin Shiwan couldn't eat any more and made an excuse that she had no appetite, so she went upstairs.
Coincidentally, the three of their rooms were arranged around Qingyu's room.
Noticing someone enter next door, Qingyu put down her comb and raised an eyebrow slightly. "System? Don't you think they arrived a bit too quickly this time?"
The system didn't understand. After checking the plot, it scratched its head and said, "It's not that fast... maybe a week or two faster. They should be meeting that mother and daughter soon, right?"
In the story, Guo Xiaolu intervenes to help a mother and daughter who are being harassed by debt collectors, and learns that their head of household has disappeared, so she begins her investigation...
Qingyu used to not care about being ahead or behind, but after experiencing so many protagonists being reborn, transmigrating into books, and traveling through time, she is now starting to have doubts.
Hearing the system say that, Qingyu's eyes deepened, and a faint smile appeared on her fair face. "Then I'll go and intercept it."
As soon as she finished speaking, she had already slipped out of the room.
------------
"Mother? We can't go to that place. Father will definitely be alright!"
Qingyu had just reached the eaves of the mother and daughter's house when she heard these words.
Qingyu raised an eyebrow, thinking to herself, "Is there already a twist before the plot has even started?"
Or did she arrive too early? In the story, the mother and daughter didn't intend to go looking for it themselves.
She lightly leaped off the roof and appeared directly in front of the mother and daughter.
The mother and daughter were startled and looked at her warily.
Qingyu smiled gently. "I heard you mention the child's father. Is he in trouble?"
The mother shielded her daughter behind her and cautiously asked, "Who are you? This is our family matter, it has nothing to do with you."
Qingyu wasn't annoyed. She simply took out a silver ingot from her sleeve. "I just wanted to help. Maybe I can find him."
She paused, then added, "I heard you've been struggling to get enough to eat lately. This money can help you out of your immediate crisis."
Sure enough, the mother hesitated upon seeing the silver.
The family is truly starving, but having some money can help pay off the debts...
but……
Thinking of her family's situation, the mother gripped her daughter's hand tightly and tremblingly accepted the silver, saying, "Thank you, young lady."
"No need. What's troubling you?" Qingyu asked, feigning curiosity.
