A Journey Through the Martial World After Transforming into a Loli

With just a wave of his hand, some disciples of the Netherworld Ghost Valley nodded in understanding and quickly brought up a woman who was covered in injuries.

"Tsk tsk, Palace Master Lin, look, you should be very familiar with this person, right?"

Indeed, she was all too familiar with the place. When she saw the people from the Netherworld Ghost Valley emerge unharmed to confront her, she felt uneasy. But upon seeing this woman, she knew exactly where her unease came from.

"Don't say you don't know her. I know you want to protect her, but without sufficient evidence, I won't harm my people. Alright, now you have a choice. You can continue to stand against me here and make things difficult for Xueyi. On the other hand, I'll return her to you as a gesture of goodwill, inviting Xueyi to visit me. What do you say?"

People of the righteous path have too many concerns when doing certain things, especially now. If you dare to disagree, you will be despised by many righteous people in the martial arts world. Such behavior of abandoning subordinates is also despicable.

However, when faced with a choice between one's sister and subordinate, how many people can make the right choice? It's either face or family ties; what should you choose?

On the contrary, as an evil person, she didn't have so many concerns. If it were her, ha, she would keep them as far away as possible. Her own little girl was her only target. The traitor who had already been discovered was only alive as the greatest punishment for her.

Faced with this dilemma, Lin Xuerong glared fiercely at the despicable woman in front of her. This woman had stolen her sister and was now putting her in such a difficult position. She was simply a piece of scum.

"Shameless! Aren't you afraid of being ridiculed for doing this?"

Scratching her head innocently, Mo Ningyan said, "I'm just a piece of trash in your eyes anyway. Besides, even if I didn't do this, you wouldn't say anything about me, right?"

Seeing that her older sister was about to speak, Lin Xueyi quickly said, "Sister, I'm just going to stay in the Netherworld Ghost Valley for a few days. After all, I was taken care of by Valley Master Mo and he even saved my life. I should at least give back for these things. Don't worry, I don't think Valley Master Mo will give me an opportunity to bring lasting peace to the Netherworld Ghost Valley."

These words sounded like a threat, but Lin Xuerong had no other choice but to glare fiercely at Mo Ningyan, who was smiling smugly.

"Hmph, let you be smug for a few days. I'll bring Xueyi home soon, and you can give up your filthy heart."

So she waited there for a few days, supposedly to give the traitor time to recover and prevent her wounds from worsening on the way. In fact, everyone knew that the Palace Master was still worried about the young lady.

The traitor, having learned of all this, came to apologize and plead guilty to her palace master. Because of her, not only had the Holy Dragon Palace nearly faced a crisis, but her mistake had also forced the palace master to watch helplessly as the young lady was forcibly abducted by the people of the Netherworld Ghost Valley. How could she not feel guilty and remorseful?

Main Text: Chapter 235 Inquiry into Mo Ningyan

In fact, Lin Xueyi knew that her nominal sister had stayed in Fengxi Town for a few days after she left by boat before returning to the Holy Dragon Palace. To be honest, it would be a lie to say that she wasn't moved. For a woman to treat her like this, even though she was her nominal sister, would still touch her heart with a touch of gratitude.

From this, she could see that Lin Xuerong truly cared for her younger sister from the bottom of her heart. Although she didn't quite understand why this little girl, who also liked her older sister, still chose to sneak out, some things, since they had already happened, shouldn't be dwelled on. Standing by the window of the restaurant, looking at the azure sky and the blue sea outside, it truly was a seamless blend of sky and water.

"Girl, you're still looking outside. That direction should be towards the Holy Dragon Palace. Don't worry, no matter what, Lin Xuerong is the leader of the strongest force in Zhongzhou. She became the palace master at the age of thirteen and obtained the mysterious inheritance of the Holy Dragon Palace at the age of eighteen, rising to the top and becoming one of the strongest people in the world. She's not someone anyone can mess with."

Lin Xueyi scoffed at Mo Ningyan's words and even rolled her eyes at her, "Not just anyone can be messed with. Ha, it's like your goal this time isn't to trick my sister."

Lin Xueyi crossed her arms and looked at the woman in front of her. She was extremely displeased with the woman's behavior. Although she had come to the Netherworld Ghost Valley with her, it did not mean that she would forgive her so easily.

"Heh, others may not know my identity, but you probably already do, right? You've had so many people following me. Did you really think I didn't notice?"

Lin Xueyi's words surprised Mo Ningyan. She actually knew that she had sent people to protect her. However, after thinking about it carefully, it would be impossible not to see Lin Xueyi's skills and cultivation.

She chuckled awkwardly at the young girl, but dared not ask why she wouldn't ask those people and find her immediately. She was worried that if she spoke up again, they would ask her why she wouldn't go to see her if she knew her location.

Although Lin Xueyi appeared to be looking down, it was precisely because of this that Mo Ningyan dared not speak casually. From the very beginning, Mo Ningyan had no idea what this girl was thinking.

Or rather, in her eyes, this girl was very complex, sometimes so intelligent that she didn't seem like a child, but more like a woman of similar age to herself.

If Lin Xueyi knew what the other person was thinking, she would nod. In a sense, she was really about the same age as her. Although she had been through the harshness of the college entrance examination, she had been punished in college and was still lacking in the harshness of society.

"What, you're speechless now? Fine, I guess you won't tell me the truth anyway, so let's leave it at that."

After speaking, Lin Xueyi turned around and was about to walk out when a hand grabbed her arm. Mo Ningyan looked at the little girl in front of her and sighed slightly.

"I found out after you got into a conflict with someone in the martial arts world, but I had some things to do here and didn't dare to bring you over. At that time, the Netherworld Ghost Valley also had its own problems." For example, spies. It was precisely because of the appearance of those spies that she was able to find the spy that the Holy Dragon Palace had planted in her territory.

Mo Ningyan still felt lingering fear about that mysterious force. After being discovered, instead of refuting or resisting, she directly grabbed the person and went to die together with them. This crazy act reminded her of Xisha Prefecture, the only one in the Nine Provinces that was different from the other eight.

"It seems you've been through a lot, but I won't press you about that. However, since you know who I am, why are you still causing trouble for my sister? Aren't you afraid of actually hurting her?"

These words silenced Mo Ningyan. She couldn't very well say that she had to do this in order to marry you into the family. Only by weakening the power of the Holy Dragon Palace could she possibly get the person in the Holy Dragon Palace to agree, and also prevent those so-called righteous people of the martial arts world from having the opportunity and time to cause her trouble. In a sense, she also had to protect this little girl.

She was intelligent, but she was unaware of the unpredictable nature of people's hearts and the terrifying power of gossip in this world. She was also oblivious to the undercurrents surging beneath the seemingly calm surface of this martial arts world.

In her heart, she only hoped that her little girl would remain as pure as when she first met her, as if she had a hopeful trust in all of humanity.

"Hey, what are you thinking about? What, you won't even answer this? Aren't you afraid I'll cause you trouble on behalf of your sister?"

He chuckled and patted Lin Xueyi's head. "It's alright. You can cause me trouble all you want. My goal is just to protect you. As for Lin Xuerong, she's a Grandmaster-level expert. Even if something happens to her, I'll be there for her. I'll have my own way of protecting her and getting her out of here."

Lin Xueyi sighed softly. She didn't actually agree with Mo Ningyan's words. Everyone felt that way, as if everything would develop according to their imagination, but who could guarantee what would happen next?

For example, the Sea Emperor was capable of defeating his own sister, but Mo Ningyan was completely unaware of him. Whether Lin Xuerong could actually escape once the Sea Emperor made a move was an unknown.

Furthermore, with Grandmaster Meng Chuanying present, how could he possibly let go of this best opportunity to completely annihilate the Holy Dragon Palace? Once he made his move, it would be a fight to the death, and the entire righteous path would be under attack at that time.

How could my own sister possibly choose to abandon the various righteous forces and escape alone? In the end, she would probably choose to commit suicide on a desperate path.

The thought of the potential tragedy that might befall her older sister would involuntarily stir up an uncontrollable violent urge within Lin Xueyi, an impulse to strike with all her might.

Mo Ningyan was shocked to feel the sudden surge of ferocity emanating from the young girl in front of her. She knew that Lin Xueyi's cultivation was very high, but she never imagined it would be this high.

Even the slightest hint of her aura was enough to make her feel a chilling pressure. This was even more terrifying than when they first met.

"What are your plans regarding the Dragon Slayer Gang?"

Meng Chuanying is dead, and the masters of the Dragon Slaying Gang have been slaughtered. Now, there are probably only a small group of masters left in the Dragon Slaying Gang and some low-ranking disciples.

Mo Ningyan knew what Lin Xueyi meant by asking that question, but in this matter, Mo Ningyan felt that she had already made preparations in advance.

"Don't worry, I've already made arrangements over there. I've ordered forces in various regions to launch a full-scale attack on the Dragon Slayer Gang. It's not just us; news has also spread from the Holy Dragon Palace that they intend to completely annihilate the Dragon Slayer Gang. Now they've been jointly crushed by both the righteous and evil factions, and they no longer have a place to stand in the martial world."

"Hmph, you did a good job this time. Let's go, it's getting late, we should find a place to rest."

Hearing that the other party was planning to wipe out the Dragon Slayer Gang, Lin Xueyi turned around with satisfaction, intending to leave the restaurant. The sun was already setting outside, and they needed to find a place to stay.

Chapter 236 The Old Man on the Beach

Jagged rocks pierce the sky, and surging waves crash against the shore, churning up thousands of piles of snow. Standing by the sea, Lin Xueyi had this feeling. It's not that the seaside is all sand; there are still many rocky mountains on the coast, standing there, watching the surging sea.

With her arms crossed, she had originally planned to find a place to stay. But things turned out differently. Mo Ningyan told her that there were even better views at the beach, so she came. And then, Lin Xueyi exclaimed, "That's it? That's it? Does she really think I'm some complete novice who's never seen anything before?"

What kind of natural scenery does the great land of China lack? From the sea in the east to the desert in the west, even the plateaus, hills, basins and mountains, is it really that we lack such natural scenery?

Refusing to admit that she had been dazzled by the sea under the sunset earlier, Lin Xueyi showed a disdainful look at the scenery here, but she still stood here, feeling the vastness of the distant sea.

Lin Xueyi silently crossed her arms. On this coastline, she always felt as if she had returned to her previous world. That eerie feeling brought a rare sense of peace to her heart.

However, the silence was soon broken when a footstep that was clearly not Mo Ningyan reached her ears. Although it was not very close, it still broke Lin Xueyi's composure.

"Little girl, you're back. Why were you reluctant to come see your master?"

An elderly man, leaning on a cane, slowly walked towards them on the beach. Although his voice sounded somewhat aged, it was full of energy, indicating that the old man was still in good health.

Moreover, from his words, it can be inferred that this person has a very close relationship with Mo Ningyan; otherwise, he wouldn't speak to this infamous female demon in such a tone.

"Little girl, what bad things are you thinking about again?"

She pinched Lin Xueyi's cheek. From the girl's eyes, she could tell that she was definitely making fun of her. But at this moment, she also needed to respond to the old man who was walking towards them.

"Master, I brought Xueyi to see you. We'll be staying here tonight. Are your rooms ready?"

Master? Lin Xueyi tilted her head, looking at the kind-faced old man in front of her. She couldn't tell at all that he was someone who could train a female demon.

Of course, she couldn't help but ask, in a very low-EQ way, "Um, sir, is this really the female devil you trained? The female devil who even preys on children?"

Mo Ningyan's expression remained unchanged, but the old man burst into laughter after hearing Lin Xueyi's words. "Ningyan, is this the kind of impression you give this young lady? She-devil, hahaha, not bad, I really didn't misjudge you."

Mo Ningyan, both amused and exasperated, pinched Lin Xueyi's chubby cheeks before speaking to the old man who was laughing so hard he was doubled over.

"When it comes to villains, I can't compare to my master. You were the biggest villain in the martial arts world back then."

Speaking of her master, he was someone who could stop a child from crying back then. According to the legends of that time, her master's appearance was truly bizarre: a demon with three heads, a blue face, and fangs, who would eat the hearts and eyes of children as soon as he appeared.

However, considering Lin Xueyi's age, Mo Ningyan ultimately decided against reiterating her master's glorious image. But she would still give her master a big eye roll.

Was he the great demon from back then? But now he just looks like an old man next door. He tilts his head and blinks, but Mo Ningyan grabs his little hand again.

"Alright, let's not talk about this anymore, Master. Aren't you going to take us back first? Look, it's getting late, and it'll be dark soon. We can't be left without a place to stay when it gets dark."

The old man sighed softly, looking at his troublesome apprentice.

"Alright, just follow me. Youyue is at home too. If we go back now, the food probably won't be ready yet."

"Youyue?" Lin Xueyi seemed to have heard an extraordinary name, one that seemed to have some connection to her Ruoxue. But before she could even let her imagination run wild, Mo Ningyan tapped her finger on the phone.

"You little brat, you're thinking nonsense again. Youyue was brought back by Master from outside and later adopted as his daughter. Now she's preparing to marry my junior brother, who is also Master's eldest son."

"What? Wait, wait, I don't understand. Youyue is your master's adopted daughter, right? She's going to marry your master's son? Isn't that a marriage between siblings?"

Lin Xueyi was stunned. She hadn't expected this at all. But when she saw Mo Ningyan's surprise at her, she knew that her ideas from her original world might not work here.

“Youyue is just an adopted daughter, not a biological daughter, and she has no blood relation with Gu Jin. Why can’t they be together?”

Blinking her eyes, Lin Xueyi thought that in a world where cousins ​​can be a good match, this kind of behavior might be normal, at least it shouldn't be as surprising as she was.

"Haha, let's go. Maybe the little girl has been with the righteous path for too long, and she's not as open-minded about some things as we people who are used to freedom. It's not a big deal."

The old man, however, was quite open-minded. With firm steps, he led Lin Xueyi and Mo Ningyan from the seaside through a small grove of trees. Deep within the grove, they finally saw a house glowing with a yellowish light.

"Girl, that's my home. You're welcome to come and visit."

As he spoke, the old man led Lin Xueyi to the front of the not-so-large courtyard. He pushed open the gate with both hands, and as the door creaked open, the first thing Lin Xueyi smelled was an enticing aroma of food.

Although we ate a lot of seafood at sea, there weren't many seasonings available on the ship, so we weren't as particular about how we ate. Now that we're on land, there are naturally many more ways to cook seafood.

For example, right now, she can already smell the stewed fish. The fresh and fragrant aroma made Lin Xueyi sniffle.

Seeing Lin Xueyi's greedy look, Mo Ningyan chuckled and took her hand. Without waiting for her master to lead her inside, they went in. Behind them, they heard the old man's somewhat unwilling voice.

"I'm telling you, you little rascal, I just brought you in, and now you're leaving me in the corner?"

"It's alright, you know the way anyway. Xueyi is hungry, I'll take her to try Youyue's cooking first, her skills are quite good."

"Huh? Ruoxue, you brought me here, but where are the others? Aren't they still at the dock?"

As Lin Xueyi was being pulled inside, she suddenly thought of Hai Chuan and Ge Xinyao, who were still in the dock. However, she noticed that Mo Ningyan did not show any surprise at her sudden question.

"I've already made all the arrangements. Now that you're here, as the host, I'll naturally take good care of you. Don't worry."

Hearing Mo Ningyan say that, Lin Xueyi breathed a sigh of relief. After smelling another aroma of meat, Lin Xueyi could no longer suppress her craving.

"Then let's go in."

The kitchen was filled with steam, which was Lin Xueyi's first impression when she was pulled in by Mo Ningyan. However, her attention was not on the steam, but on the large stove that was emitting a rich aroma.
