Chapter 261 The Witch of the Martial World 2
Lin Shinian observed secretly from the side, a subtle smile playing on his lips.
He knew Qingyu's prowess well and was waiting for Guo Xiao to suffer a setback so he could seize the opportunity to perform well and win Guo's father's praise.
I didn't expect Guo Xiao to be so useless; he couldn't even block a single round.
Just as he was about to step forward, Qingyu got tired of playing. With a wave of her long sleeves, a mist dissipated, obstructing everyone's view.
When the fog cleared, Qingyu had vanished without a trace, but a red ribbon remained on Guo Xiao's head, making her look like a bride-to-be.
Guo Xiao was furious, while Lin Shinian offered only a perfunctory consolation.
"This witch is too cunning. Xiaodi, don't be upset. We will definitely meet her again."
Guo Xiao snorted coldly, but there was nothing she could do. However, as she touched the smooth silk in her hand, she couldn't bring herself to throw it away.
Finally, when no one was looking, he stuffed it into his arms.
----------
"You did that on purpose? What did you leave behind?"
The system had personally witnessed Qingyu leaving behind that red silk, and now it was extremely curious, constantly asking Qingyu questions.
Qingyu used her light-footed skill to return to the Demonic Sect. Her figure was so conspicuous that everyone in the Demonic Sect knew about her return as soon as she arrived.
Therefore, she directly encountered another major villain: the leader of the Demonic Cult.
Compared to the strange old men or other attire of the Demonic Cult Leader in TV dramas, the Demonic Cult Leader in front of Qingyu was extremely handsome.
It was a beauty that transcended gender, capable of being both gentle and strong. Unlike Qingyu's stunning beauty, the cult leader's beauty appeared more sinister and dangerous.
"You're back?" The standard, magnetic voice would captivate anyone with a sensitive ear. Qingyu sensed the man's annoyance but casually sat down opposite him.
Hua was somewhat displeased, but still waited for Qingyu's reply, though her expression darkened.
Qingyu twirled the strand of hair in her hand, a sly glint in her eyes as she thought of the plot. She said, "I didn't go anywhere. I just met that young man from the Guo family. Master, I found that his martial arts foundation is quite good. Why don't you just cripple him? To avoid leaving any future troubles?"
In the story, Hua Wuyi encounters the male lead Guo Xiao very late. One reason is that the original owner of the body concealed her feelings for him. She fell in love with him at first sight, and afterwards, she actively participated in any missions the Demonic Sect had, thus showing mercy to the male lead and causing the Demonic Sect to fail time and time again.
In the end, Hua Wuyi realized something was wrong and confronted the male protagonist. By then, the male protagonist had already achieved some success. Although he still couldn't beat Hua Wuyi, he didn't give up. Instead, he became increasingly famous in the martial arts world.
It was around that time that Hua unintentionally discovered a secret of the male lead, which also led to her taking away the female lead, thus beginning a love-hate entanglement.
Qingyu was just trying to cause trouble, so she didn't mind bringing everything forward at all.
However, she underestimated the plot and overestimated Hua Wuyi's arrogance.
"A mere child, and you think you're worthy of my attention? Qingyu, you're getting lazier and lazier!" Hua Wuyi rebuked in a deep voice, clearly dissatisfied.
After thinking for a moment, he continued, "The previous leader was willing to take you in in order to promote the Demonic Sect. Now the martial arts world doesn't respect the Demonic Sect much. I heard that the Six Yang Divine Skill is in the possession of these people. Go and find a way to get it back!"
His tone was so self-righteous that Qingyu wanted to slap him.
Although the plot revolves around the Six Yang Divine Skill, and the male and female protagonists search for the skill while simultaneously training, which is enough to prove its effectiveness, however…
Qingyu doesn't want to look for it!
She wants people to offer it to her willingly!
But she couldn't beat Hua Wuyi at the moment, and she wasn't in the mood to win over such a person to bother her, so she nodded casually and then turned to leave.
Hua Wuyi frowned, watching Qingyu's departing figure, a strange emotion rising in her heart.
He didn't understand why Qingyu was acting so strangely today; although she was willful in the past, she would never be so perfunctory.
As soon as Qingyu stepped out the door, she began to think of a solution.
"System, is there any way to get a fake Six Yang Divine Skill manual to complete this task?"
The system was completely bewildered. When it finally realized what was happening, it jumped up and shouted, "What do you want to do?"
Qingyu blinked innocently, "I didn't mean anything by it. The Six Yang Divine Skill is so rare, wouldn't it be good if I helped everyone get a copy?"
System: "...If someone finds you like this, you'll be killed!"
Qingyu curled her lips, her bright eyes filled with disdain. Then, as if thinking of something, she smiled and said, "Help me make a few copies of the Six Yang Divine Skill. I'll send you the contents later."
The system opened its mouth and finally agreed. Anyway, Qingyu would benefit from it no matter what, so let her be.
------------
Guo Xiao and his companions were quite disappointed after failing to capture the witch.
They snuck out, and they were so lucky to run into Qingyu right away. Now that Qingyu has run away, Guo Xiao feels like he has missed out on something.
This made him feel rather down when he received thanks from the other captured heroes.
Taking this opportunity, Lin Shiwan gently brought over a bowl of soup and placed it in front of Guo Xiao, softly comforting him, "Brother Xiao, don't overthink it. You haven't eaten all day. Have some soup to fill your stomach first. The inn's kitchen staff will bring the food over in a little while."
Her tone was gentle, and she seemed very kind and considerate. Even though Guo Xiao felt a little uncomfortable, she still nodded and said, "Thank you."
Lin Shiwan's lips curved slightly. She lowered her eyes and sighed, "I didn't know the martial world was like this before when I was in the manor... Xiao-ge, do you think we can really punish evil and promote good?"
"Of course!" Guo Xiao affirmed, glancing at Lin Shinian beside him with an increasingly arrogant expression. "Since you're following me, don't worry, I'll take care of you!"
Lin Shiwan's eyes flickered slightly, and she said seemingly unintentionally, "We are still too young. If only we could have a good cultivation technique... By the way, I heard that the Six Yang Divine Skill is the number one cultivation technique. I wonder if we can find it?"
"Six Yang Divine Skill?" Guo Xiao was a little stunned; this was the second time he had heard of this skill.
The first time was in his father's room, where his parents were talking, their conversation implying that they wanted to obtain the Six Yang Divine Skill to strengthen their family...
Did I not expect this thing to be so powerful?
Guo Xiao seemed to be thinking, then frowned, "Everyone in the martial arts world knows about this technique, where can we find it?"
Upon hearing this, the Lin siblings exchanged a glance, both seeing joy in each other's eyes.
If Guo Xiao can go, that's fine.
“I know a place nearby, why don’t we go take a look?” Lin Shinian suggested.
"Where?"
"Fish Tooth Town".
--------
The annual festival of the gods in Fishtooth Town has finally begun, and the entire town is enveloped in a joyful and peaceful atmosphere.
On this day, all the townspeople would take to the streets, dressed in their finest clothes, carrying incense and offerings, and parade along a designated route to pray for good weather, peace, and happiness from the gods.
