Chapter 283: 0282 Martial Arts Convention

The North-South Martial Arts Conference opened today, and a large number of martial artists rushed to Mount Hua.

Mount Hua has always been a place for martial artists to compete and discuss swordplay and boasts a profound heritage, revered by warriors around the world as a sacred land for discussion.

As an important figure hosting the grand martial arts conference, he had sent out invitations to various places early on.

Qian Zhen, the Head of the Temple at Dragon Tiger Daoist Temple, Chen Yifeng, Iron Sand Palm Ren Hesheng, Wang Hutang, and Li Tiezheng, among others, were some well-known figures from the southern martial arts community, all present.

These individuals were all elders in the martial arts community; their status and position could be said to be tremendously respected and distinguished within the martial arts world.

Today could be said to be the busiest day in the martial arts community, with people constantly coming and going on Mount Hua.

This day was also the day when ordinary villagers at the foot of Mount Hua saw the most eccentric people.

Below Mount Hua, there was a bustling market with many people coming and going, and the sound of vendors calling out was incessant.

"These days are going to be big sellers, every three years at this time, a large number of people come to our Mount Hua," said an elder who had been in business for many years.

Sitting next to the elder, a curious child asked, "Grandpa, why do these people come to Mount Hua? Is it for tourism?"

In response to his grandson’s innocent question, the elder laughed and said, "You need to know there are two kinds of people in this world, ordinary people and extraordinary people. We ordinary people have our way of living, and those extraordinary people have theirs."

"Being a person, remember this word, stay low and keep out of trouble. That’s how you can live a long life," the elder imparted this life lesson to the child, who listened with a somewhat understanding look.

There were many forthright people at the market; vendors seeing more money in their pockets naturally exerted more effort, careful not to offend these generous and temperamental customers.

This day, even pickpockets were gone because the recent scene had scared all the other pickpockets into desperately running away.

Earlier, a pickpocket had tried to target a young man but was caught by the youth and ended up receiving two punches, one breaking his leg and the other his hand. As for the third punch, before the youth could land it, the thief had rolled and crawled away in escape.

These skilled individuals were all heading to a single destination, the summit of Mount Hua.

As a result, many smart people started selling water at the foot of Mount Hua.

Ye Qiu had spent a full day travelling from Zhongshan City to this place.

Checking the time, it was nearly noon, and Ye Qiu decided to fill his stomach first.

Choosing a random small eatery, Ye Qiu ordered two dishes and quietly sat in the corner.

"Do you guys know? Today I met a master who literally could ’run on walls,’ the legendary light body skill," one of the three men at the next table vividly described to the other two.

"Really? That master is so impressive?" another inquired curiously.

"Absolutely, I almost thought I was seeing an immortal. The guy was dressed in white, in ancient attire—I immediately wanted to become his disciple."

"What happened then? Did the master agree?" the other two echoed.

The man narrating shook his head and said, "Of course not, but this master gave me a martial arts secret manual. Are you two interested in seeing it?" he said, pulling out an old, crumpled book from his chest and whispered, "The master said if I master the skill inside, I can be like him. You mustn’t tell anyone else."

Ye Qiu’s ears twitched slightly as he overheard the conversation; the other two men’s eyes gleamed, asking, "Can we learn it too?"

"Brothers, this is an opportunity the master gave me; I’m not a stingy person, but since there’s only one manual, whoever pays more, I’ll sell it to them."

...

Ye Qiu couldn’t help but smile wryly, this trick was nothing more than a scam to make money, and he had not expected that people were still using the martial arts competition as a way to profit grandly.

Ye Qiu didn’t expose the petty tricks, as it was also a way to survive. Damaging someone else’s livelihood was never a good thing.

He didn’t know whether the members of the Dragon Group had arrived here yet.

Ye Qiu had discussed meeting at the foot of Mount Hua with Mu Zhige before leaving the secret base.

As the appointed time approached and still no one appeared, Ye Qiu paid for his meal, left the small shop, and began to stroll around.

...

"Wow, such a beautiful girl is rare, perfect to be taken as my bride." A burly man, with unrestrained lust in his eyes, surveyed Lin Wurou’s body and rubbed his hands together, preparing to take action as if he really intended to bring Lin Wurou back with him.

Women are dangerous, especially the more beautiful they are, the more dangerous they are.

This danger, some from the women themselves, some from without, as in the current scene where Lin Wurou’s beauty had attracted an ill-intentioned strong man.

The strong man licked his lips and immediately lunged forward, thinking that a delicate young woman like Lin Wurou could surely not escape his embrace, a sure catch.

Whoosh!

The big man felt a chill on the tip of his nose. He saw the delicate woman in front of him suddenly throw an incredibly fast punch that grazed his nose and stopped at his abdomen.

The big man glanced downward, not noticing the light smile on Lin Wurou’s face, then he felt a lightning strike to his abdomen, the intense pain making him clench his teeth and cold sweat streaming down his forehead.

"Damn wench, I fell for your trick," the big man cursed.

At that moment, Li Xiaohu quickly stepped forward to the big man’s face, not waiting for Lin Wurou to take action. He slapped the big man across the face, instantly sending him flying.

"Clap, clap, well done. I wonder from where such masters have come. It seems this year’s Martial Arts Council will be exceptionally lively," the big man stopped next to a young man who had just put down his eating utensils. The young man didn’t even glance at the big man, stepping over and walking in front of everyone, his gaze sweeping over Lin Wurou, Li Xiaohu, and Mu Zhige.

Eventually, his gaze returned to the big man on the ground, he slowly said, "Was that fun? If you’ve had enough, get up."

The one thought to have been sent flying with one move, laid there for a while, suddenly rose to his feet after the young man’s words.

At that moment, the big man had lost his earlier arrogance and instead calmed down. He stared at Lin Wurou and clicked his tongue, saying, "Strong, spicy, but..." his gaze shifted to Li Xiaohu, slowly saying, "a woman hitting me, I can tolerate, but your slap just now..."

Li Xiaohu’s heart shuddered, suddenly feeling the hairs on his body stand up, engulfed by a feeling of impending death.

Mu Zhige stepped in front of Li Xiaohu and said to the big man, "Sorry, it might have been a misunderstanding just now, please don’t blame us."

"Ha-ha, a misunderstanding? What would you say if this slap were on you, calling it a misunderstanding?" the big man suddenly pressed his face in front of Mu Zhige, speaking in a chilling tone.

Following that, his shadow flashed, and before Li Xiaohu could react, he slapped Li Xiaohu across the face, returning the earlier slap to Li Xiaohu.

Thud!

Li Xiaohu flew up, landing on the ground, in a very sorry state.

Lin Wurou quickly ran over, worriedly asking, "Xiaohu, how are you..."

"Cough cough... I should survive," Li Xiaohu coughed out.

The big man shook his hand and stood beside the young man again, respectfully saying, "Young master, I’ve had my fun, please do not be angry."

"If you’ve had enough, leave. Don’t waste time here," the man glanced at Mu Zhige, turned around, and the big man followed him closely.
