Chapter Six "Forbidden Zone"

Just think for yourself

The youth (shook slightly): I see now

Fortunately, the pebble bounced off his forehead and landed on the ground to his right

In legendary martial arts dramas, most handsome men are dressed in snow-white garments, either standing leisurely at the bow of a boat or sitting quietly in the woods, accompanied by an ancient zither. Their long hair cascades over their shoulders, and the sound of the zither is hauntingly beautiful, creating an exquisite scene

Upon the first glance, Wang Xiaoxiao's mouth fell open in astonishment, and she no longer had the desire to turn back. The contrast between the master and the handsome man was strikingly evident.

There should be no danger or traps on this road, as the ground around is covered only with freshly fallen leaves, which still appear quite clean, suggesting that someone often comes to clean it.

Wang Xiaoxiao rubbed her head and decisively walked towards the road on the right

The handsome man indeed did not take action, instead looking at her with some surprise

As soon as the words left my mouth, I immediately wanted to slap myself; I never expected that my first line upon seeing an ancient handsome man would be this, how embarrassing! ... Sigh, I can only blame this beautiful man for being too stunning, touching my stomach, it seems I am indeed a bit hungry ...

In the distance, a few people walked by, chatting and laughing. Among them, one figure was very familiar; it was Yan Hao, the one who stuttered a bit during our conversation yesterday

It is said that Wang Xiaoxiao is quick-witted, and upon sensing something amiss, she immediately corrected herself: "No, no, I meant to say that I am hungry, uh, it is very nice to meet you..."

However, speaking of which, the robes here are truly beautiful, flowing gracefully.

At the end of the road, amidst the swirling fallen leaves, stands a person

Since Wen Jing has not provided any instructions, it is better to follow the main road. It seems that the legendary forbidden areas are filled with mechanisms and traps; if one were to provoke them, it would lead to trouble

Wang Xiaoxiao's courage had not yet reached the level where she would stay to observe his expression; after speaking, she quickly slipped away.

With a sorrowful expression, she decided to run in both directions to try her luck, as the saying goes, "the road is underfoot"

In hand, a long, black sword sheath

Wang Xiaoxiao inexplicably followed the gaze.

The entire person stood quietly on the cliff, allowing the falling leaves beside them to resemble a painting

Unfortunately, there was a loud "thud" on the forehead

In Wang Xiaoxiao's impression, the attire of the men in black is generally tight-fitting, suitable for professions like assassins. However, the individual before her is wearing an exceptionally loose black outfit, with the black fabric billowing in the wind, contrasting with the golden hair crown and headband, which together exude a unique aura, both noble and mysterious

The handsome man looked at her with a strange expression for a moment, then turned to the other side

Cool! Wang Xiaoxiao swallowed hard and immediately realized that this action was fully captured by him, feeling extremely embarrassed. He quickly explained with a silly smile: "Well... I'm hungry, hehe..."

Suddenly realizing, she exclaimed, "Who are you? Why should I tell you anything?" She immediately straightened her chest, glared at him coldly, and sternly reprimanded, "Who are you to casually come here? Do you know this is the forbidden area of our Huashan Sect?"

Speaking of which, author, if you want me to dress up, you should at least allow me some time to prepare. It would be good to bring some modern and fresh items to win people's hearts, or perhaps exchange some money for daily expenses.

An awkward silence

"Wrote 'forbidden area'?" The handsome man looked down upon it even more, "The places where these two characters are written have increased; they can be found in the kitchen and the toilet. You might as well go take a look"

The tone does not seem very friendly... Wang Xiaoxiao nodded busily, instinctively smiling and saying: "Yes, yes, I just started yesterday."

self-righteousness

So handsome! Wang Xiaoxiao came to her senses and immediately realized that the end of this road was a cliff. Since the master was not here, he must be on the other road. Having been hit, this divination is still not accurate.

Seeing him ask as if it were a matter of course, Wang Xiaoxiao was momentarily taken aback, but soon understood, feeling a surge of anger. Although my victory in yesterday's battle was somewhat unsightly, it was not so disgraceful as to resort to bribery. That is too much!

From now on, I am truly the eleventh disciple under the esteemed Master of the Huashan School, known for his unparalleled swordsmanship. Speaking of the first day, it feels quite good, although I did not wake up as originally planned. However, that is because my master has not yet begun to teach the skills. Waking up earlier would not have made much difference, as there are no sword techniques to practice yet, so it cannot be considered laziness.

Touching the words on the large stone, Wang Xiaoxiao felt a surge of excitement. This is a forbidden area! She never expected that after just joining Mount Hua, her master would trust and rely on her so much, even teaching her skills in this forbidden place.

With sword-like brows and starry eyes, a fleeting sharpness swiftly passed by, and in an instant, the handsome face returned to its calm demeanor, leaving only the faint traces of discontent between the brows.

The handsome man was stunned again: "Forbidden area?"

Walk left, walk right? Wang Xiaoxiao obediently stood in place waiting for half a day, yet Wen Jing still had not arrived... It is said that being late on the first day is sure to disappoint the master, and perhaps even make him angry

When Master begins to teach the swordsmanship, I, Wang Xiaoxiao, will surely rise to practice at the crow of the rooster

I... Wang Xiaoxiao felt extremely embarrassed, "I'm sorry..."

Just as the decision was made, the voice of Wen Jing rang out from outside the courtyard gate: "Junior Sister!"

As a disciple of the Huashan Sect, how can we allow others to trespass into our forbidden grounds! Wang Xiaoxiao displayed an extraordinary presence: "Indeed, this is the forbidden area of our Huashan Sect. Did you not see the inscription on the stone outside? Entry is strictly prohibited!"

"It's nothing, I'm not hungry." He shook his head

"Without having breakfast, how can one have the strength to practice swordsmanship?" Wen Jing said with concern, "How about this: Junior Sister, you go to the forbidden area to see Master first, and I will go to the kitchen to see if I can bring you some food."

Can they come in as well? Wang Xiaoxiao looked at them, then at the handsome man in the black robe, dumbfounded

Throw it upwards

"It's nothing, I hardly recognized Junior Sister in her new attire..." Wen Jing came back to her senses and changed the subject, "Master is already waiting in the forbidden area; today he will teach you the sword technique and has asked me to call you."

The sky was overcast, carrying a hint of chill. The leaves in the forest had fallen by more than half, and the white gravel path stood out even more against the sparse branches. The cold wind wandered through, occasionally sending a few scattered leaves flying by, creating a desolate atmosphere that was both mysterious and tinged with a sense of solemnity.

The autumn wind is bleak, and the stone path winds its way.

Handsome guy raises an eyebrow: "Don't understand?"

Cut it out, just because you are handsome you really think you are special, what does it matter if I scold you, let me teach you what it means to be polite and courteous! Although Wang Xiaoxiao thought this in her heart, she couldn't help but shiver under the gaze, quickly turned her face away, automatically ignoring those two cold stares, and turned to leave.

The handsome man was taken aback

After counting her private property, Wang Xiaoxiao dejectedly fiddled with the three Renminbi notes in her hand: two one-hundred-yuan notes and one fifty-yuan note. To her surprise, despite searching her entire body, even meticulously checking the soles of her shoes, she had only found this two hundred and fifty yuan—yet, boss, what is used here is silver, not Renminbi, spending this would truly make people think I am a fool.

Taking two steps forward yet feeling unsatisfied, what is there to fear? Do you dare to harm your fellow disciple? Thus, she turned back and smiled politely, adding, "Do you know what it means to 'measure a gentleman's heart with a villain's mind'?"

Picking up a small stone, Wang Xiaoxiao closed her eyes and silently chanted: "Heavenly spirits, earthly spirits, if it falls to the left, go to the left; if it falls to the right, go to the right..."

Feeling fresh and intrigued, she casually tossed the Renminbi under her pillow, then perked herself up and changed into her clothes, her hair left unstyled, simply tied loosely at the back of her head

Even a fool can discern the meaning behind it; however, the handsome man did not expect that someone from the Huashan Sect would dare to insult him to his face. In an instant, his expression turned somewhat unpleasant, and his bright eyes gradually became sharp.

Men in Black

Wang Xiaoxiao, full of energy, rushed towards the courtyard gate: "Let's go"

Of course.

Send silver

The handsome man's expression turned cold, and his tone remained indifferent: "Who are you talking about"

Sword Testing Forbidden Area, entry is strictly prohibited

She was displeased: "I am very sorry, but I do not have a single cent on me, and I do not understand what you mean."

Thinking of this, she was about to turn around and go back

The handsome man's gaze has become more menacing, as if he is about to kill someone. Are you happy to see me because you are hungry? Are you sure I look like a snack?

Before me, two diverging paths

Young man: What is the situation with those many forbidden areas

After an unknown duration of walking, Wang Xiaoxiao finally lifted her head, came to a stop, and her eyes widened increasingly.

You understand, don't you? It is reassuring

Indeed, it has become troublesome

The handsome man in the black robe initially showed some surprise, then frowned in displeasure, asking, "What are you salivating at me for if you're hungry? You don't intend to treat me as a snack, do you?"

Wang Xiaoxiao then remembered that she had forgotten to have breakfast, truly lacking in ambition. While the master had already risen early, she was still lazing in bed on her very first day. This was unacceptable; making the master wait would leave a very poor impression.

A certain elder (in a serious tone): The Huashan Sect is the foremost among the four major sects, and its forbidden areas are naturally more numerous than elsewhere. Moreover, the traps are numerous and should not be underestimated. If anyone dares to intrude...! Hmph!

Suddenly stopped in the middle of speaking

Which way should we go first

Wang Xiaoxiao choked slightly: "But what is written on that stone..."

Wen Jing held her back: "Have you had breakfast, junior sister?"

The beautiful eyes were filled with a distinctly playful glint, and the handsome man let out a soft scoff, looking at her with disdain and saying, "Do you really think this is a forbidden place?"

At that moment, the man in black ahead seemed to have sensed the commotion and quickly turned around

Stepping outside, Wang Xiaoxiao couldn't help but stretch lazily and then bounced a couple of times

Indeed, practicing martial arts is a physically demanding activity; do not let it lead to low blood sugar

Wow

Thus she sneered: "So the Huashan Sect also has such self-righteous individuals."

She hurriedly approached with a smile: "Good morning, Brother Wen."

The handsome man glanced at her a few more times, his gaze landing on her hair: "The new one, Wang Xiaoxiao? Did she drive away that Zhang Laoda? Truly exceptional, how much silver did she bring in?"

Kitchen toilet? Is that really the case? Can the two characters for forbidden be written carelessly?

"I have never seen you before." The cold voice was like a chill spring in an empty valley

Seeing her nod, Wen Jing gave a few instructions and then left

Wen Jing walked in: "Master called for you..."

The young man: I never expected that the unparalleled skills of the great heroine Wang would be so formidable, able to make the invincible Master Zhang of the Divine Blade bow in defeat without even lifting a finger

Wang Xiaoxiao walked along the road with great caution, carefully looking around her.

Really back!

The person before me is indeed dressed in a pure black robe, except for the golden belt.

The previous fondness had already diminished by more than half. From the moment he saw Yin Hao and the others without any urgency, Wang Xiaoxiao was convinced that this person was also a disciple of the Huashan Sect, and she was certain that he would not take action to resolve her situation

Seeing him staring blankly at her, Wang Xiaoxiao felt perplexed and lowered her head to check: "What’s wrong?"
