Chapter 1

"Who is spying?" Ouyang Zui said angrily: "My uncle and I were merely passing through this place, resting here for a moment. Who would have expected this couple to suddenly arrive and, without a word, start undressing—"

My name is Li Juxiao She suddenly sat up, hurriedly brushing off the heavy fallen leaves from her body She laughed and said, The weather is hot, I was sleeping, and halfway through I heard a strange sound... uh, sorry, junior sister, you are on my leg It is known that one should not look at indecency, as taught by my master I do not want to look either, oh, my eyes have been hurt

What?

What?

Entering and exiting the Wenren Manor requires special tokens for all individuals, unless they possess significant renown in the martial world or are personally invited by Wenren Bupo. This is one of the reasons why the Wenren Manor remains a mystery to most in the martial world. However, even so, is it truly worth Wenren Bupo's utmost efforts to search for a lost token?

Li Ju smiled and automatically skipped his last sentence, asking in a very inquisitive manner:

"Hmm, it seems to be a secret..." She appeared somewhat distracted, greedily taking in the expressionless handsome face of Wenren Jian.

Rather than saying it was a fight, it is more accurate to say that she kept dodging and evading, to the point where Ouyang Zui was infuriated and shouted:

Li Ju smiled and scratched his head, looking at the girl who was trying to cover herself but was unable to hide much. He said, "If you don't mind, I'll go pick it up." He lowered his head to sneak a glance at his own flat chest and thought, indeed, there was a significant difference.

Hmph, you are clearly lying! The weather is cool today, where did the scorching sun come from? Speak! When exactly did you hide here?

and is gaining momentum increasingly

Senior brother

The gust of wind, whose origin is unknown, blows with great ferocity, causing the seemingly cloudless blue sky to appear somewhat chilly

What a despicable and shameless little person! Do you want to capture the king first? Unfortunately, your skills are insufficient, seeking death!" Ouyang Zui chuckled.

Little brother, come closer... I have a secret that I have kept for many years, and I ask you to convey it to the master of Wrenren Manor...

"Wow, are you spying?" As Li Ju laughed out loud, the naked junior sister panicked and hid behind her.

You cannot leave! The shield has departed, and she is truly finished.

Indeed, there is a secret in this world that only I know... The two lips trembled, trembling to the point that the words could not be strung together. Hurry, if you don't come closer soon, his last breath is about to be taken.

Li Ju-xiao, has never been heard of in the Jianghu, you ... ...

Senior brother, the clothes... that garment has flown so far away, how can we retrieve it

The murderer of Chief Min is a master swordsman

I? My surname is Li

For example, Wenren Manor is the most prominent symbol of justice in the martial world; for example, Wenren Manor has maintained its renowned reputation for a century through three generations, and the current master is Wenren Bupo, whose martial arts skills are unfathomable. He is regarded as a model by all in the righteous path. Even though the position of the leader of the martial world has been vacant for several years, everyone considers him the recognized arbitrator in their hearts. Similarly, Master Hua, who also possesses a century-long reputation, has begun to document the historical achievements of Wenren Bupo, preparing to include them in the "Martial Arts Record," ensuring that his legacy will be celebrated for generations and remain immortal.

Did she not see it? She really, really did not see it! Wuwu, in this lifetime, she has only seen her master's beautiful bare back, and she will no longer look at others indiscriminately.

In an instant, she trembled all over, as if struck by an electric shock

Only women can speak nonsensically and say mind-boggling nonsense! Ouyang Zui looked down at the tree and saw the yellow and white tassels of the sword. He drew his Soul-Chasing Sword and threw the long sword hidden beneath the fallen leaves at her.

Little brother

Wenren Manor! The foremost manor in the Jianghu! Chief Steward Min! He awoke, connecting everything together

It is said that the old landlord has a spirit, knowing that he still has a wish to fulfill before his death, so he secretly guides this young brother to come over

Wow, can this really be squeezed out? Is she really that fat? Li Ju smiled to himself, while simultaneously noticing several fine horses galloping towards him, each rider armed with weapons, and the lead horse appeared panicked, as if fleeing from danger

That old man entrusted me to convey a secret to the idle person—um, or to the master of Wenren Village

It seems like a chant, yet resembles a low recitation, scattering with the night breeze from a distant place, and then—

In a casual remark made after a meal, a farmer casually told his younger brother, who had just returned to his hometown. Coincidentally, this younger brother worked in a restaurant in the city, where people from all walks of life mingled, and numerous individuals from the underworld came and went. The topics of conversation could range from the vastness of the country to the idle chatter of various sects.

With a soft "puff," she spat a spray of blood onto his face and the blue hem of his robe.

"Miss, please let go," said the owner of the phoenix eyes

Bastard! Don't even think about asking for a flower gun in front of me

That voice was indifferent, detached, and calm, as if it were inherently imbued with a tone of aloofness towards worldly matters

"Who are you? Why are you hiding here? Could it be that you are here to hunt us down?" He instinctively reached for his knife, only to find his own smooth body instead.

Forgot it

So, is there a ghost on the token

"You want to escape..." As the words trailed off, the sound of hooves echoed from afar, not in small numbers. The faces of the two elopers turned pale, and without time to pick up their clothes from their naked flight, they could only hurriedly hide behind Li Juxiao.

She widened her eyes, pointing at her dimples that looked like smiles even when she wasn't smiling, truly at a loss for words. Suddenly, her gaze caught sight of the motionless man in the blue robe behind the tree, and an idea formed in her mind

... ... At the top, the azure sky meets the yellow springs, both places are vast and indistinct ... ... Suddenly, I hear of a fairy mountain upon the sea, the mountain is in the ethereal and elusive ... ...

Indeed, the long hair flowing in the wind, the smiling corners of the lips, and the handsome white attire, is it not reminiscent of the appearance of the old master Wenren Lao when he went out in a frenzy?

As long as one is a person of the jianghu, they all know that there is only one Wenren Manor in the jianghu. The only jianghu person who mistakenly takes Wenren Manor for a leisure manor is the murderer

Isn't it that the old master Lao Zhuang has returned to life?

The eyes of the two individuals moved in unison to the left and right, while a pale face was caught in the grass between them

Secret

Ouyang Zui no longer spoke; with a single move, she struck fiercely, leaving her with no choice but to clumsily defend herself.

Originally, it was just an ordinary grave, nothing unusual about it. The difference between a prosperous era and a chaotic one lies in the latter, where people die without even having time to be buried. Some erect tombstones to indicate that they have relatives, but... I wonder if that idle village is truly filled with idlers, who do not have to worry about life or struggle for a living

Your Excellency ... ... Your Excellency is ... ... '' He was so weak that he could only vaguely see the visitor's indistinct features, flowing long hair, the elegant white robe, and a long sword resting on his shoulder ... ... Truly a dashing young hero

I apologize, I did not intend to disturb you. The face sandwiched between the two slowly began to speak

What happened next, although no longer related to him, was still gradually learned through the mouths of people from the rivers and lakes

Did not hear

Where is the token

Ouyang Zui's voice came from afar; she heard it but could not comprehend his words. Her pale, bloodless little face paused for a long time before slowly raising her gaze to meet those narrow, phoenix-like eyes.

With phoenix-like eyes and thin lips, her fair skin radiated beauty. On her smooth face, not a single wrinkle could be found. She stared blankly, and suddenly, she abandoned her broken sword and reached for his right hand

Her sword longed to be drawn from its sheath, but there was simply no opportunity. Taking a step back, she stepped on the conjoined twins behind her; taking a step forward, the blade nearly grazed her neck

Little brother... I am the steward of the "Wenren Manor"... I have encountered misfortune today and can only entrust you with returning this token to Wenren Manor... The token is at my waist... You must remember that this token must not be given to women casually...

"I do not listen to secrets," the voice interrupted him without hesitation. "I will return in half an hour to dig your grave."

According to the legendary retelling, although Wen Renbu's martial arts are highly skilled and he possesses a bold spirit and decisive means towards the people of the Jianghu, internally... he is filled with emotional knots and a cunning mindset

Miss, please let go

Just ... ...

"Wait a moment, there are still people behind me..." The girl behind seemed like a ghost, refusing to leave, fearing for her reputation. Alas, this girl has lost her reputation, but what she has truly lost is her life

In another month

What I recall is another matter

... ... as if a dying person is begging you

"Old man, when a person is about to die, there is no need to speak of any secrets." The voice still carried a smile: "Secrets left in the world will only harm others"

Two bodies intertwined fiercely, with great force and reckless abandon, rolling in the wilderness, as their discarded garments were suddenly lifted into the air by a strong wind

The knotted body immediately separates

No wonder it sounds familiar, it turns out he got it wrong, it should be called the Idle Person's Village.

This is the token of Wenren Village! The Chu surname senior brother, hiding behind, had eyes that sparkled with a strange light. He glanced at the woman with whom he had pledged his life, and suddenly leaped into the air

By the way, I remembered. She gazed at Wenren Jianming with fascination, while the latter remained completely still, clearly perceiving her as invisible

The farmer's younger brother had heard far too much in the restaurant, so much so that he could clearly recall the names of all the maidservants in Wenren Manor. When he was summoned personally by Wenren Bupo, his legs trembled uncontrollably, much like the sentences he struggled to articulate—he dared to swear that anyone who fell into Wenren Bupo's hands would surely meet a fate of utter annihilation, akin to that unfortunate uncle imprisoned deep within the manor.

Upon hearing this, she was momentarily taken aback, then burst into laughter, accompanied by several bouts of coughing

Ouyang Zui, seeing the situation, grabbed her collar and shouted: "What are you doing..."

With her gaze fixed on his phoenix eyes, Ouyang Zui realized that she had never been asking him from the beginning to the end

Forgot it

I am Wen Ren Zhuang Min, the steward... Young brother, I have one more request to make of you...

"Senior brother, do you truly intend to treat me well for a lifetime?" The delicate gasps plead for the most sincere promise. Hmm, there is a caterpillar, disrupting the atmosphere, brush it away

The cause lies in a certain farmer passing by the foot of the mountain, where he noticed a very rough tombstone, on which was inscribed: Tomb of the Idle Man, Supervisor Min.

Ouyang Zui stared at her, blood sliding down his gaunt, well-defined cheek.

In the distance, a whisper reminiscent of a chant slowly and eerily resounds once more

My name is Li Juxiao she said in a hushed voice

I am Wenren Jianming

To have the audacity to engage in romantic affairs under the broad daylight, one must be prepared to bear the consequences. "Unwavering loyalty?" What a notion of unwavering loyalty; in a man's heart, these four words have never existed. It is she who is foolish, thinking she can replace the desires that a man yearns for the most. Hmph, to seek the depths of the abyss and the heights of the heavens? That is a foolish act only a woman would commit.

Although he is merely an outsider in the world of Jianghu, he is not unfamiliar with the deeds of Wenren Zhuang

What is your surname, sir

That... do you want to turn around? Look, your companion understands what it means to not look at something inappropriate

Senior brother

The lush green wild grass sways gently, while fallen leaves flutter down, covering the ground beneath the trees with a carpet speckled with white dots; beside the gnarled tree roots lies a yellowish-white object resembling a sword tassel, leaning at an angle, as if a long sword is concealed among them

Ouyang Zui was about to ask in detail when she interrupted:

I see now

From the sky, looking down through the rushing veil, two entwined bodies are faintly visible, filled with beautiful curves and natural, healthy colors

In the past month, the martial arts world has been quite active—at least, it has been active behind the scenes

She picked up the clothes and walked back slowly, thinking to herself "Wenren Village", "Wenren Village", it sounds so familiar... Suddenly, her eyes brightened, and she clapped her hands and laughed

There are indeed quite a few insects, yet it does not diminish the genuine love between them. The two bodies roll around without leaving each other, rolling all the way to the grass under the tree, as if they have rolled over uneven objects, but they do not intend to verify it

Lower your head!" She warned the girl behind her while suddenly bending down her entire body, feigning a move, and then swiftly turning to pounce towards the man in the blue robe behind the tree

Do you think that by not making a move, you can deny that you are a master swordsman

Oh? Why is there someone lying here? Old man, aren't you cold looking at the stars in the middle of the night?

One month later

He did not hesitate to push it aside, continuing the romance between heaven and earth

In a surge of emotion, both painful and joyful, a sweet sensation overwhelmed his throat, causing him to involuntarily spit blood once more, splattering his robe.

Li ... ... '' strived to recall any notable figures with the surname Li, but there were none in the realm. Well, since he was dressed in white robes, he must be a person of righteousness; entrusting my affairs to him should allow me to rest in peace

The desire that men most wish for in their hearts... it's really troublesome, I always thought everyone was the same. May I ask, what is it?

"No." A very straightforward refusal, followed by the sound of footsteps departing resolutely

Indeed, the appearance of the uncle is quite capable of stirring romantic feelings in women

Ouyang Zui said: "Where is the token?"

Xianren Village, Wenren Village, you have confused me. Ah, I remember now, when I first heard of Xianren Village, I was still wondering how there could be such a place in this world. Like me, after coming down the mountain, I found it strange that everyone was just like me, dressed in white and carrying swords. How is it that they have silver to enter inns, eat meals, drink tea, and sleep, while I only have a few coins? Look, I have only three coins left on me, just enough to buy a bowl of porridge, and then I will have to sleep outdoors again.

"Why does the young lady consider it to be a leisure person's village rather than a renowned person's village?" Ouyang Zui asked once again, his piercing gaze fixed on Li Juxiao, completely ignoring the beautiful young woman behind her.

Wen Renbu arrived at the foot of the mountain, witnessing the gravestone that had inscribed Wen Ren Zhuang as Xian Ren Zhuang—its characters both fragmented and unsightly. Subsequently, Wen Ren Zhuang released the news

Since you know he is the uncle of Wenren Zhuang, why do you not let go? If you dare to harm him, losing ten lives would not be enough!

Am I your little brother? That voice was low and hoarse yet amusing: "Old man, you can rest assured and leave, I have taken the token. If I encounter idle people... well, if it is someone from the Wen family village, I will definitely hand it over to them."

Naturally... why am I wasting my breath on this with you? Tell me, where do you think Wenren Village is just a leisure village?

As soon as dawn broke, he immediately rented an ox cart and hurried to Wenren Village to report the news

Thank you ... ... little brother ... ... are you smiling? His features were indistinct, yet it was faintly visible that a smile played at the corners of his lips

The master is simply called the master

Wait a moment, Senior Brother

That is nature, you willingly chose to leave your master and elope with me, leaving no way back. I swear by the surname Chu that I will love my junior sister Tan Xiaoqi for a lifetime, never to part, even if I have to venture to the depths of the earth or the ends of the underworld, I will never let go of your hand. What thick eyebrows! They still move, almost completely destroying the love I hold in my heart. Upon closer inspection, I realized it was a hairy caterpillar.

Up to the azure heights and down to the yellow springs ... ... both places are vast and indistinct ... ...

Ah?

Why haven't you released our uncle yet

"Didn’t you say you remembered?" he said angrily

The soul-chasing sword came slicing through the air, and she instinctively raised her sword to block it. He seized the opportunity to channel his energy through his sword, shattering the blade of hers.

What is your master's title

Please speak. The long sword is drawn from its sheath, elegantly carving characters on the wooden board that has been brought in

Those skilled in martial arts within the jianghu, regardless of their age, appear to be unconcerned on the surface, yet secretly track the whereabouts of the tokens; while wealthy individuals who lack martial skills but have heard of jianghu matters maintain close ties with black market dealers who sell stolen goods

What secret

Although he could not clearly see the appearance of the young man, his laughter always reminded him of the boldness and elegance of the old master Wenren Lao during his youth... along with a hint of incomprehensible madness.

Is it appropriate to greet the King of Hell? It seems rather good. This thought briefly flashed through her mind, and before she could even settle into a daze, she suddenly heard him shout in anger: "How can you smile so triumphantly!"

I don't know," she gasped, her internal organs feeling as if they had been displaced, causing her great pain

Recently, the martial arts world has been very active

Why does the young lady consider it a place for idle people

It seems that an old man entrusted me with a black plaque to be delivered to the Idle Man's Lodge before his death. It turns out to be true; I thought it was just a dream from that night.

There is more than one person. Li Ju smiled and stole a glance from behind the tree; from her perspective, she could only see the blue hem of a robe, vaguely aware that a man was standing there.

Uncle Ye? ... Wen Ren Jianming ... . ... It turns out, he is the Young Master of the Wen Ren Manor, Lan Tian. From the chaotic memories, a past that seems like a dream emerges. She couldn't help but laugh out loud:

Wen Ren Bu Po has an uncle, nicknamed Blue Sky Young Master. The age difference between the two is no more than five fingers, but his uncle has been afflicted with a painful illness since childhood, making it impossible for him to practice martial arts and inherit the position of the master of Wen Ren Manor. He can only watch helplessly as the rich rewards that should have been his are taken away by his own nephew

Junior Sister

In a fit of anger, he was about to curse, but unexpectedly, she smiled

The uncle and nephew engaged in open and covert struggles, with the uncle scheming to bring down Wen Ren Bu Po. However, Wen Ren Bu Po was one step ahead, sealing off his uncle and placing him under house arrest deep within the estate, forbidding him from meeting outsiders, managing affairs within the estate, or even eating meat... There were far too many prohibitions.

Where is it... Li Juxiao cried out in despair within, wanting to protest, but as she opened her mouth, the tip of the sword was pressed directly against her face... She almost bit her tongue; if this continued, she would really have to greet the King of Hell...

So it turns out that ... ... is the son of a lowly family, truly ... ... seeing is believing.

Indeed, there is a Manager Min at Wenren Village

The owner of the phoenix eyes gazed at her indifferently for a moment before saying

No, no, if you can convey this secret to the owner, he will surely reward you handsomely

Just behind the large tree where she had been soundly sleeping, a man in black emerged, with a soul-chasing sword at his waist, lacking a scabbard

Leave the token! someone shouted

In the fleeting moment when the lips and tongues, having been briefly apart, reunite in the air, the corner of the eye seems to catch sight of something that should never appear at this time, in this place, at this moment.

Do you not wish to speak? Is it out of fear of embarrassing your master, or are you too shy to voice it?

This token was purchased at a high price by me and should be delivered to Wenren Manor by me

Everyone is saying that the uncle, who is unhurried and composed, will find it difficult to turn his life around.

My surname is Li, and my master named me Ju Xiao. How should I address you

The old man was both startled and delighted upon hearing this, struggling to open his eyes, which could not focus.

"What a poor level of skill... How could you kill Chief Steward Min?" "Where did you learn your craft?"

How dare you think you are worthy to step into the gates of Wenren Manor?

Manager Min was murdered, and the killer is a master swordsman with limited literacy skills, whose handwriting resembles that of a child. If any righteous person manages to find the killer, the Wen family will surely treat them as a distinguished guest and express their gratitude. At the same time, the Wen family is actively searching for the lost token of Manager Min.

Indeed, I am laughing. In this life, one cannot escape the saying 'Life and death are predestined.' Even when the day comes for my soul to return to the west, I will surely be very happy. Old man, you may depart in peace.

Secret? As Ouyang Zui's double formation sank, a barely visible spark flickered in the depths of his eyes

Originally, she anticipated to embrace his slender waist, but unexpectedly, the conjoined twin behind her exerted an incredible force, grabbing her back garment and forcibly turning her over to face upwards. She was unable to even touch his waist, and with a thud, she fell at his feet, with the conjoined twin beneath her, who would rather serve as a cushion than compromise their dignity

The cold phoenix eyes flashed with a hint of displeasure, as she brushed aside her capture with a flick of her sleeve

Huh? You are still alive? I am digging your grave for you, so you can rest in peace

The person has already left... Hey, are you going to chase after them? That might not be a good idea. I admit that your figure is beautiful, but... Well, at least I have never flaunted it in front of the master... Hey, hey, don't cry, let me help you pick up your clothes. As I stood up, I noticed the sweat rolling down my cheeks. Looking up at the cloudless blue sky, it really is so hot.

She opened her mouth to speak, but suddenly saw the man in the blue robe beside her lift his foot as if to leave. She quickly hugged his thigh and said

Wow, that was terrifying!" Li Ju laughed and quickly closed his eyes, afraid of seeing something he shouldn't. In front of so many people, to be able to snatch the token while being naked is truly incredibly brave

Xianren Village, Xianren Village, along with the familiar Minister Min, the farmer's younger brother read all night long, until the dawn broke in the east. In a half-dreaming state, he saw an old man moving a long piece of wood, which passed through the character "Xian", perfectly transforming it into the character "Wen".

At one moment, there were people flying back and forth on the eaves at midnight, during the day, someone was seen severely injured and collapsed on the ground, and incredible phenomena such as fake tokens being bid up to ten taels of gold emerged one after another

"I didn't hear it, and then he just passed away." Li Ju smiled and finally brought his gaze back, then said to Ouyang Zui with a troubled smile, "I'm sorry, but the blood on your face has dripped onto mine."
