The Beauty and the Swordsman

When Pei Lingyou returned to the Tongchen Sect's residence, it was nearly midnight.

Representatives from various schools and factions had already gone to their respective rooms to rest.

It was said that everyone should settle down and rest for three days before the formal training began.

Pei Lingyou was assigned to the most remote room, which was surrounded by empty rooms on all sides.

It seems no one wants to be her neighbor.

Pei Lingyou didn't care about any of that; she wasn't really there for any further studies.

She ate her fill of the dinner brought by the disciples of Tongchen Sect, then washed up hastily, collapsed onto the bed, and prepared to go to sleep.

To everyone's surprise, she, who usually falls asleep the moment her head hits the pillow, tossed and turned all night, unable to fall asleep no matter what she did.

The moment I close my eyes, I see that breathtakingly beautiful sea of ​​flowers.

Dusk, roses, a little wooden house.

Beside the magnificent, silvery-white ancient banyan tree, all was quiet and undisturbed, except for a man and a woman.

It's perfect for romance.

With such a romantic atmosphere, it would be hard for her not to be tempted.

To be honest, she had met many men in her life, but Kuang Ye...

She had a feeling that even in death, before she breathed her last, she would remember the sea of ​​roses that night.

And those incredibly beautiful hands, and that gentle and affectionate person.

She found it amusing. She had clearly come to fight Kuang Ye, but before she had even drawn her sword, she seemed to be about to fall at the feet of this handsome man.

Her mind was filled with all sorts of random thoughts until late at night when she finally felt sleepy and fell into a deep sleep.

Unsurprisingly, she dreamed of Kuang Ye.

In the dream, Kuang Ye had a tall and broad back, a good physique for martial arts, but a gentle and jade-like face.

He would sometimes hold the pipa half-hidden behind his ear, his slender fingers caressing the strings with an elegant yet unpretentious style, making the pipa sound as clear and resonant as a sword being drawn from its sheath.

A moment later, he picked a bright red rose, held it pitifully in his hands, and said to her:

"You've gotten rose petal juice on yourself, Miss Pei. What should we do?"

Pei Lingyou looked down and saw that Kuang Ye's fair fingers were indeed stained with specks of rose red.

He looked as if he had suffered a great injustice, and his appearance was exceptionally pitiful and endearing.

She couldn't help but feel a surge of emotion and reached out to take his arm, but he kept tilting his head back to avoid her touch.

Helpless, Pei Lingyou could only sigh, bend down and suck on his finger, slowly licking away the rose-red marks on it.

At the same time, a mountain breeze blew, causing clothes to flutter.

She couldn't tell whether what was flowing through her body was the wind or his gentle sleeves.

When Pei Lingyou woke up the next day, she looked at the roof and stared at it quietly for a long time.

Since being poisoned by the Eastern Islanders' rare poison "Cinnabar Charm" three years ago, she has been having frequent erotic dreams for this embarrassing reason.

My dreams are filled with erotic scenes, and when I wake up, my lower abdomen is often warm and I feel exhausted all over.

But today is different from every time in the past.

She touched her lower abdomen and felt it was flat and calm.

He touched his chest, and found it thumping and strangely hot.

She had the illusion that this dream was not born from Zhu Sha Mei.

She didn't understand what was wrong with her. She lay in bed for a long time, and after much serious thought, she finally clenched her fist, punched the air, and made an important decision:

She wants to fight.

She wants to play too.

No, we should use it too!

Kuang Ye might be the most suitable person to help her detoxify after searching for three years!

Without hesitation, Pei Lingyou sprang out of bed with a somersault, quickly washed and dressed, then kicked open the door with a loud bang, shouting excitedly in a loud voice, whether directed at the sky or someone else, it was unclear:

"Kwong Ye—I'm here—"

The commotion was so great that it startled almost all the birds at the mountain gate, causing them to take flight.

She wandered around carrying the Red Jade Fox Bone Cleaver.

We'll be here in a bit:

The disciples of Tongchen Sect were having their morning practice in the square in front of the hall. Nearly a thousand people were lined up in straight rows, their robes fluttering as they practiced Tai Chi.

She leaped directly onto the head of the foremost stone lion, crouching like a monkey with a knife in hand. Her loud voice shattered the celestial atmosphere, startling many drowsy disciples below.

"Hey! Has anyone seen Kwong Ye?"

A little while later we were back over there:

Inside the main hall, the white-bearded elder, with an air of otherworldly wisdom, was teaching cultivation techniques and expounding on scriptures when Pei Lingyou suddenly brushed aside the old man's beard and emerged from under the "curtain."

A pair of cunning, fox-like eyes scanned the surroundings, then waved to the stunned crowd in the hall:

"It's alright, you two talk, I've come to see if Kuang Ye is here."

She searched for Kuang Ye all over the mountain, going into every house she came across and shoving men on the shoulder to look at their faces.

They didn't care whether someone was taking a bath naked in one room or someone was changing clothes in another.

She kicked open every door and asked, "Is Kuang Ye in this house?"

She even went to the men's washroom. When she appeared at the door, the seven or eight disciples inside were so frightened that they all turned around and stuffed their pants in.

By the end of the day, the entire Tongchen Sect knew of Pei Lingyou's existence.

Chaos erupted everywhere at the mountain gate, with the sounds of doors being kicked open echoing all around, making it impossible for the disciples to concentrate on their martial arts practice. Their hearts trembled with fear.

Unfortunately, despite working from morning till night, Pei Lingyou still couldn't find Kuang Ye.

He seems to possess some kind of flying or teleportation technique; everyone says he's inside the mountain gate, but Pei Lingyou can't find him no matter what she tries.

This puzzled Pei Lingyou greatly, and she racked her brains trying to figure out where the problem lay:

"Is he deliberately avoiding me? If so, that would be so exciting..."

She grinned to herself and continued to wander aimlessly around the Tongchen Sect like a hunting dog.

Seeing Pei Lingyou running around like a street urchin, Shoumo could no longer bear it.

He walked through the winding corridors and rushed into a quiet courtyard, where he found Kuang Ye in the study of the houses at the end.

He was flipping through books behind an endless stack of bookshelves.

Upon seeing this, Shoumo quickly lowered his footsteps, not daring to disturb the tranquility of the study.

He tried his best to keep his tone steady, but you could still tell from his rapid, rapid speech that he was furious.

"Sect Leader! Please do something about that vixen Pei Lingyou! If this continues, we'll all go crazy!"

"What's wrong, Miss Pei?" Kuang Ye picked up a long-lost book, "The Great Method of Taming Dogs in the Wind," from the bookshelf and read it carefully, not daring to miss a single word.

Shoumo was about to pour out his grievances when he opened his mouth and said just three words, "That witch..." when he saw Kuangye look up from his book and glance at him.

That gaze was calm yet powerful, exuding authority without anger. With just a glance, Shoumo immediately shrank back and changed his words:

"It's Pei Lingyou, she's outrageous..."

Kuang Ye nodded, signaling Shou Mo to continue, and the latter said:

"Sect Leader, we're going crazy! I won't go into details about her scaring the representatives of other sects at the foot of the mountain; you know that before I did. These past two days, Pei Lingyou has been acting strangely, running around the entire sect, harassing everyone she meets!"

Kuang Yehe put together "The Great Method of Taming Dogs in the Wind," seemingly intending to take it back and study it carefully.

He raised an eyebrow slightly and spoke in a light tone:

"Oh? How do you mean by teasing me?"

Shoumo exaggeratedly opened his arms, gesturing and describing:

"Among the disciples in the sect, if they are male, she will stop them and grab their faces, saying things like, 'Could they be disguised?' After grabbing their faces, she will touch their hands. She is a complete pervert! Now, when the disciples in the sect see her, they all run away like rabbits seeing a wolf!"

I'd heard of the Hun Tian Gang and Hun Shi Pei before, and seeing them in person, their reputation is well-deserved! I just never imagined she could be this audacious! Sect Leader, please control her! If this continues, word will get out, and the martial arts world will laugh at us again!"

Whether it was Shoumo's imagination or not, after he finished rambling on, Kuangye not only didn't get angry, but seemed to know everything all along, and there even seemed to be a faint smile on his lips.

He seemed to be talking to himself:

"Sigh, I should have told her sooner. She could have seen me when the course started. It's my fault, my fault."

Shoumo instantly had an enlightened look on his face, as if he had found a treasure, and said to Kuangye, "No need to trouble you, Sect Leader!" before running away.

He quickly found Pei Lingyou, who was sitting on the top of the highest palace tower in the entire mountain gate, carrying a knife in one hand and using the other to shield herself from the sun, looking around in an attempt to find where Kuang Ye was hiding.

Shoumo called out to her from below:

"Get down here, and I'll tell you where the sect leader is!"

"A skinny bun?" Pei Lingyou jumped off the roof and wrapped her arms around Shoumo's neck:

"Quick, tell me where Kuang Ye went. I have two things to ask him. To be precise, I want to fight him twice, once during the day and once at night, hehe!"

Shoumo couldn't understand what Pei Lingyou was babbling about, but given his personality, he would never allow her to go and fight with Kuang Ye, as he was Kuang Ye's most loyal disciple.

But he couldn't let Pei Lingyou continue to cause trouble throughout the mountain sect like this.

He had been inspired by Kuang Ye's words and had come up with a way to stop Pei Lingyou.

Shoumo spoke with great confidence:

"These past few days, the sect leader has ordered a rest to ease the burden on the representatives of each sect after their arduous journey. After the rest period, there will be a placement exam tomorrow. If you can pass the exam and get into Class A, you will be assigned to a class personally taught by the sect leader, and then you will be able to meet him. So, don't wander around, hurry up and study your books and practice your calligraphy!"

Shoumo felt that this would at least keep Pei Lingyou quiet for a long time.

Unexpectedly, Pei Lingyou stared at him for a moment, then raised her hand and delivered a crisp slap to his head:

Speak like a human being!
