Sekar and Martha’s Worries
Xiao Chen did not stand idly by. The twenty-year-old youth didn’t attempt to block or parry—he rushed forward to meet his opponent’s attack head-on. The presence of Zhang Wei had certainly boosted his confidence.The clash of their two powerful energies created a strong explosion.Yung Yin was thrown far backward, while Xiao Chen was only forced two steps back. His firmly planted feet kept him from being pushed any further.Yung Yin’s body slammed hard against the ground, her momentum only stopping after she crashed into a large boulder. At the peak of the hill, besides the trees, many large and small rocks were scattered around.Though not severely injured, Yung Yin was bewildered by what had just happened. She stood up and glared at Xiao Chen, who was now quite a distance away. The disbelief was clearly carved into her wrinkled face.“So, that old man’s words were true. The boy really is immune to poison,” she muttered inwardly. She saw the young man staring at her sharply, his thin
Zhang Wei’s Question
Realizing his disciple had fallen unconscious, Zhang Wei rushed forward to give aid. It only took a fraction of a second for the old man to reach Xiao Chen’s side.Li Lan and Martha were stunned by the speed he displayed. Even their own master would have needed several seconds to reach Xiao Chen’s collapsed body.Both girls hurried to follow, wanting to see Xiao Chen’s condition after his fierce battle against their teacher.Zhang Wei quickly crouched and grabbed Xiao Chen’s wrist to check his state.“What a reckless young man,” he muttered softly. He pressed several meridian points to prevent the poison from spreading further.“How is he, Elder?” Li Lan asked, her face showing deep concern.Martha too couldn’t take her eyes off Xiao Chen’s handsome face. Her heart pounded wildly, beating out of rhythm. The feelings she had for him were now undeniable.“He’ll be fine. Fortunately, the poison hasn’t reached his heart yet, so his life isn’t in danger,” Zhang Wei replied. The old man the
Jealousy
Hearing Zhang Wei’s voice outside the cave, Xiao Chen rose to his feet. There were many things he needed to ask the old man—especially about how to properly harness his inner energy.Li Lan, Martha, and Zhang Wei turned their eyes toward the sound of approaching footsteps.“So, you’ve finally woken up, foolish boy!” Zhang Wei said sternly.Li Lan and Martha were startled. They hadn’t expected their new master to scold Xiao Chen like that. Throughout their earlier conversation, he had never once shown such anger.But Xiao Chen, who already knew his master’s temperament well, simply chuckled before sitting down between Li Lan and Martha.“Why were you reckless enough to keep fighting when you knew the poison was in your body?” Zhang Wei asked.“Because I am an obedient disciple who follows his master’s words,” Xiao Chen replied with a faint smile.“What do you mean?” Zhang Wei frowned, his wrinkled forehead folding even deeper.“Well, didn’t Grandmaster say that woman’s poison wouldn’t
Return to Qincheng Village
Seeing Martha’s unblinking gaze fixed on Xiao Chen and Li Lan as they departed, Zhang Wei realized something had been hidden in his disciple’s heart. More so when he noticed a glistening tear roll down the corner of her beautiful eye.“You like Xiao Chen, don’t you?”Martha quickly wiped away her tear before turning to Zhang Wei. She shook her head in denial.“You can’t lie to me, Martha. Your eyes are different today.”Martha nodded at last. “Both Li Lan and I like Xiao Chen, Master. But he doesn’t react at all when either of us tries to get closer to him.”Zhang Wei smiled faintly, reminded of his late wife, who had passed away even before he retired from the martial world.“If you are truly destined for him, you will meet again. But honestly, I pray that the three of you may one day be united in marriage. Xiao Chen is a responsible young man. It wouldn’t be a problem if you both became his wives.”“It feels difficult to share one’s heart, Master. But if that is truly fate, I will l
Help for the Villagers
To avoid being noticed by Lu Han and his three friends, Xiao Chen walked with his head lowered, never once lifting his face. He still didn’t want to deal with Lu Han, because his true purpose in returning to Qincheng village was Lu Feng.Xiao Chen was not the center of attention for Lu Han’s three companions. Instead, it was Sekar, whose beauty was a perfect blend of sweetness and charm. Those three young men, known for their fondness for women, could not resist their desire when they saw a beautiful stranger entering their village. Meanwhile, Lu Han was still busy joking and wrapping his arms around the girl beside him.“Who is that girl? Why have we never seen her before?” asked one of Lu Han’s friends curiously, his eyes still fixed on Sekar.“Wait, isn’t that Xiao Chen, the loser who was once driven out of this village?” guessed another one of Lu Han’s friends.Hearing his companions’ words, Lu Han immediately turned his gaze toward Xiao Chen and Sekar, who were walking in the opp
Revenge
Although some villagers were glad to hear it, others still felt pessimistic about Xiao Chen’s promise. They did not believe the young man could defeat the dozens of warriors hired by Lu Feng to guard him. Defeating Lu Han and his three companions was one thing, but overcoming Lu Feng’s guards was another matter entirely.“You’d better forget your intention, Xiao Chen. It’s not that we don’t appreciate your willingness to help this village, but let us bear the suffering caused by Lu Feng alone. You should leave and never return here,” said a middle-aged woman.“Aunt Ren Ying, in the past you were always kind and often helped my struggling family. I believe it is now my turn to repay the kindness you once showed. Trust me, the two of us will be fine.”Xiao Chen stepped closer to the slightly plump woman. He still remembered well how Ren Ying had often helped his family, giving them food or lending money without interest.After shaking hands with her, Xiao Chen invited Sekar to follow hi
Massacre
Xiao Chen could see the fear in the man’s eyes, even though his mouth barked loudly in defiance. A faint smile curved on his lips.“I already told you—anyone who dares protect that savage, Lu Feng, will also die by my hands. This is my final offer: leave now, or die.” His body trembled slightly as he spoke. Unlike the many battles he had fought before, this one felt different—his fury was rooted in vengeance for his parents’ deaths.Suddenly, Lu Feng reappeared from inside his house. “Do not be afraid! He is only bluffing! If you kill him, I will give thirty gold coins to each of you who survives!”The guards, who a moment ago had considered fleeing, instantly changed their minds. Thirty gold coins were equal to ten weeks of wages—an irresistible sum.“You will be the last to die, you vile man!” Xiao Chen shouted, pointing at Lu Feng with burning eyes full of hatred. “Because of you, my parents are dead. Because of your treachery, I was cast out of this village. But in truth, I am gra
Suggestion
"We have nothing to do with the two of you, so we will still leave this place!" said one of the six members of the Devil’s Sickle group."You may not have anything to do with me directly, but your four leaders brutally murdered my father. So in this matter, you will still be held accountable!" Xiao Chen replied with a firm and pressing tone.The six men dressed in red certainly did not share Xiao Chen’s perspective. They believed their only task was to protect Lu Feng from the villagers, not from outsiders. But today, reality forced them to face the bitter truth. Fighting against the young pair of warriors was not a choice they could take if they wanted to save their lives."Sekar, finish them!" Xiao Chen shouted without even glancing at the beautiful girl.Hearing Xiao Chen’s command, the six members of the Devil’s Sickle were startled. But they still thought it would be easier to deal with the girl than the young man. They planned to use this opportunity to their advantage.One by o
The Horseman in the Darkness
When Xiao Chen mentioned Liu Zun’s name, some of the villagers disagreed. One of them even voiced his objection directly to him."Why should Liu Zun be the leader of this village?" asked a man who appeared to be around sixty years old.Xiao Chen looked at the man and smiled faintly. "Let me ask you this, Uncle—did I ever say the people of this village must choose Liu Zun as the village chief?"The man fell silent and simply shook his head."I only gave a suggestion, didn’t I?" Xiao Chen pressed.This time, there was no nod, no reply—only silence."I know very well the nature of the people in this village. Some look kind but hide corruption within their hearts. Others are genuinely good and sincere in their deeds. All of this is etched clearly in my memory," Xiao Chen added, deliberately hinting at the man before him.He then waved for Sekar to come closer."From now on, I will no longer interfere with this village’s affairs. Choose for yourselves a leader whom you think is worthy to l

“What should we do? It looks like the man they were chasing needs help,” said Sekar, her eyes following the galloping horses that were moving farther away.“Let’s just stay here. Isn’t it better not to meddle in other people’s business?” replied Xiao Chen, lying back down again.But just as his back touched the bamboo mat floor of the hut, Xiao Chen remembered his mother’s advice: always help those in need, as long as it was on the path of righteousness.The handsome young man rose to his feet and said, “Let’s chase them!”Sekar, who already understood Xiao Chen’s character, smiled brightly. She knew that he would never allow anyone to be oppressed. That was why she hadn’t lain down either.Before the horsemen got too far, Xiao Chen and Sekar set off in pursuit, running at their top speed.Although she lagged behind, since her inner strength was still several levels below Xiao Chen’s, Sekar didn’t mind. She knew he needed to get close to the riders to understand what was happening.Ab
