Tool Person

Since Wang Ming took over Jueqing Valley, he hasn't been in seclusion the entire time.

During this period, he also took the time to teach Li Mochou the "Quanzhen Swordplay" and the "Twin-Handed Combat Technique."

Wang Ming also wanted to see if he could cultivate someone who would be no less than one of the Five Greats in the future.

At that time, Li Mochou was quite unwilling to learn the Quanzhen Swordplay. She looked down on the martial arts of the Quanzhen Sect and felt that learning this trash swordplay was a waste of time.

Her mindset was understandable. After all, the Jade Maiden Swordplay's moves were designed to counter the Quanzhen Swordplay. The Taoists of the Quanzhen Sect had always been without dignity in front of her. This created a misleading impression that the Quanzhen Sect's martial arts were generally mediocre, relying solely on their numbers.

It was only after Wang Ming recounted the past between Lin Chaoying and Wang Chongyang, and personally demonstrated the Quanzhen Swordplay against her Jade Maiden Swordplay, that she was convinced that the combination of these two swordplays was no less than the Nine Yin Manual.

At the same time, it made her sigh with emotion, not expecting that her Ancestral Grand-Master, a person of such talent, would also be troubled by love, and still be unable to forget Wang Chongyang, who had wronged her.

But...

Did she truly not love Lu Lang anymore?

She wasn't affected by the sudden wave of sentiment for long before she joined the practice.

She learned the "Quanzhen Swordplay" in no time, but she couldn't master the "Twin-Handed Combat Technique" no matter what.

Perhaps this martial art is not suitable for people with too many thoughts.

In the end, Wang Ming had no choice but to ask Li Mochou for the "Jade Maiden Swordplay" and forcibly merged the two martial arts into a single two-handed sword technique.

This was not difficult for Wang Ming; it was merely a slight change in the moves. Coupled with his ability to perform a solo dual-sword combination, it was not difficult to deduce the result by working backward.

Moreover, Wang Ming did not spend his time in the Smiling, Proud Wanderer World in vain. The martial arts in that world had developed in a peculiar way, pushing the martial arts moves to the peak of perfection. This experience was the reason he could improve them.

This sword technique was incredibly powerful, arguably an unparalleled offensive art.

When the Golden Wheel Monk appeared, he already possessed strength close to that of the Five Greats. Little Dragon Girl, after learning the twin-handed sword technique, could immediately defeat the Golden Wheel Monk at that time, which shows the terrifying power of this sword technique.

"Ptooey!" She spat out the sand blown into her mouth by the wind.

She looked out at the vast, boundless desert, the cloudless blue sky.

Under the scorching sun, Li Mochou not only felt a fire in her body but also a fire in her heart.

"That damned old man, kicking me out to this desert, while he's in Jueqing Valley enjoying the service of his servants at his leisure," Li Mochou complained furiously.

A month ago, she had witnessed the power of using both the Jade Maiden Swordplay and the Quanzhen Swordplay with both hands. Unfortunately, she couldn't learn the "Twin-Handed Combat Technique," which made her quite annoyed for a while.

Fortunately, her cheap master was willing to modify the swordplay into a single technique for her. Once she obtained this swordplay, Li Mochou was confident she could defeat the monk from Tianlong Temple who had forced her to make a vow.

But before she could be happy for long, Wang Ming gave her a mission and sent her out to do something.

Wang Ming took Li Mochou as his disciple, not only because he didn't want to see her harming herself and others outside but also because he wanted a tool to do things for him.

For example, driving out the people who had lived in Jueqing Valley for generations, killing all the rebels, and recruiting new servants from outside the valley...

Wang Ming was not purely good or purely evil; he was a self-serving individual. When he had the capacity, he was willing to help others, but he was never a selfless saint.

It was impossible for him to accept a future demoness as a disciple for no reason, teaching her martial arts and sharing his experience.

The core reason was simple: Wang Ming had taken a liking to her.

Cough, cough!

Don't misunderstand.

Li Mochou was very suitable as a tool.

Li Mochou was born into the Ancient Tomb Sect. People from the Ancient Tomb have no concept of good or evil; they never taught these things. They didn't even teach worldly etiquette. This was also why Little Dragon Girl could openly express her feelings for Yang Guo in public at that time.

After being abandoned by Lu Zhanyuan, her actions became decisive and ruthless.

Wang Ming could kill enemies who opposed him without hesitation. Because the moment he picked up the knife, it was almost a certainty that it was either kill or be killed. If he fell, it was only because I was stronger, regardless of justice or mercy.

However, when it came to dealing with the families of enemies, Wang Ming was somewhat reluctant. After all, he was born in a peaceful world. Let alone women and children, even a stray cat would evoke pity.

If he had to be ruthless, Wang Ming could do it, but why bother?

Wouldn't it be better to find a tool to handle these troublesome matters? Why get his own hands dirty?

Although Li Mochou was a feared demoness in the martial arts world, she was actually a very sensible person. Her greatest skill was never her self-created "Three Noes and Three Unhands," but rather her ability to flee.

When the enemy is strong and I am weak, or when the strength is unclear, talk first if possible, use schemes if possible, admit defeat if necessary, and flee when it's time to flee. When the enemy is weak and I am strong, it depends on their background. If they have a background, show leniency; if they don't have much of a background, torment them, chase them, kill them.

For example:

Li Mochou vs. a high monk from Tianlong Temple, ten years ago, unable to win, she admitted defeat.

Li Mochou vs. Huang Yaoshi, she first ambushed the weaker opponent and then fled, using schemes and fleeing.

Li Mochou vs. Guo Jing and Huang Rong, upon hearing the sound of the eagle, she immediately admitted defeat and fled, even saving herself the trouble of meeting them...

There are too many deeds to list them all.

This kind of person who knows when to advance and when to retreat is easy to control. With a carrot and a stick, she can be completely subdued.

It's just teaching some martial arts!

He lacked nothing, and currently, he lacked no secret manuals.

Besides, he was teaching techniques that were not truly threatening to him. What was there to fear?

You taught the Nine Yin Manual and it doesn't threaten you, so why aren't you going to heaven?

Heh, Wang Ming only taught the inner cultivation of the Nine Yin Manual. The Nine Yin inner cultivation is a Taoist martial art, upright and peaceful, with a decent cultivation speed. But it's not the Sunflower Manual, so you think you can overtake others from a disadvantaged position? You must be dreaming!

He still insisted on a step-by-step approach to training. Even Guo Jing only caught up to Ouyang Feng's pace during the Condor period, and that was also because Ouyang Feng's martial arts had reached a bottleneck and he hadn't made any further progress.

Cough cough!!

Returning to the present, the reason Li Mochou was in the desert was because Wang Ming had received a lot of care from Guo Jing's mother while he was in the desert. Calculating the time, it wasn't long before she committed suicide, so he sent Li Mochou to save her.

Wang Ming deeply respected Li Ping. She was a very strong woman. During the Niu Family Village tragedy, facing her husband's death, being captured, and while pregnant with Guo Jing, she fled all the way to Mongolia, successfully gave birth to Guo Jing, and raised Guo Jing alone.

Watching the TV series, I thought they lived very freely and comfortably in Mongolia, but that was wrong.

That was after Guo Jing saved Jebe, became sworn brothers with Tolui, and became a disciple of the Seven Freaks, which improved their living environment.

Bao Xiruo was a clear contrast to her, except for her overwhelming, white-lotus-like compassion, she was nothing.

Actually, there was another person who would have been a suitable tool, and that was Yang Kang.

But Yang Kang's karma was too troublesome.

Most importantly, he hadn't met him, and he was too lazy to specifically look for him.

Besides, isn't a beautiful and gentle (if you beat her up a bit) female disciple better than a hypocritical male disciple?

Her appearance was top-notch.

Her martial arts were outstanding among the younger generation, and her intelligence was not low either.

She was very sensible and knew when to advance and when to retreat.

What's not to like about such a tool?

This wasn't Li Mochou's first time leaving the valley. The last time she did Wang Ming's task, she went to Peach Blossom Island to save the Seven Freaks of Jiangnan.

At that time, he only told her that Yang Kang and Ouyang Feng were ambushing the Seven Freaks of Jiangnan on Peach Blossom Island and asked her to save them.

Alas!

Li Mochou went at that time, found the Seven Freaks, and wanted to warn them not to go to Peach Blossom Island, but the result...

As soon as she spoke, she was recognized and her nickname, the Scarlet Maid, was revealed.

And then!

Ke Zhen'e called her a demonic heretic that everyone should eliminate, and chased Li Mochou for two streets.

She was furious at the time. If it weren't for her master's words when she left, she would have turned around and fired a few Ice Soul Needles, ensuring they would be utterly annihilated.

Wang Ming's exact words at the time were: "The Seven Freaks of Jiangnan are decent people with no bad intentions. But their leader, Ke Zhen'e, that blind old man, has a problem with his brain and a foul mouth. Just bear with it. By the time you get back, I should be able to merge these two swordplays into one."

Whenever she was about to lose her temper from Ke Zhen'e's scolding, she would think of that peerless swordplay and feel that it was worth enduring.

The Seven Freaks of Jiangnan's lightness skill was not as good as Li Mochou's, so they couldn't catch up. In the end, they continued on to Peach Blossom Island.

Li Mochou, following behind, saw this situation and was both anxious and annoyed.

"If that foolish blind old man dies, won't my master not teach me the swordplay?"

At this time, Li Mochou's personality was not the gentle and lovely one from her time in the Ancient Tomb Sect, nor the cold and resolute Scarlet Maid from the Condor period.

She was also only in her early twenties, with a somewhat jumpy and immature personality.

Li Mochou knew that Ouyang Feng was ambushing on the island, so how could she dare to go up? She wasn't stupid.

Her master was no match for Ouyang Feng, and could easily defeat her. She didn't want to provoke Ouyang Feng.

Li Mochou decided to abandon the mission and return. At worst, she could serve tea and water, try to get close to him, and see if he would teach her.

But the more she thought about it, the angrier she became. Unwilling to give up, she stood at the seaside ferry and shouted at the sea:

"Stupid, idiotic, brain-filled Ke Zhen'e, my swordplay!!!"

After shouting a few times, she felt better and decided to return to Jueqing Valley.

"Ke Zhen'e is indeed stupid, and that scolding was accurate."

Suddenly, Li Mochou's body trembled. Someone had approached her without her noticing, and she broke out in a cold sweat, terrified.

Turning around, she saw a middle-aged scholar with a very strange appearance, holding a jade flute, wearing a green straight robe, and a matching square cap.

"But why are you lingering near my Peach Blossom Island?" The strange man's tone, which had been somewhat playful moments ago, suddenly turned cold and murderous.

Li Mochou was very intelligent and instantly deduced the identity of this man in green. She immediately bowed respectfully.

"This junior, Li Mochou, pays her respects to Island Master Huang. My master is Wang Ming."

Upon hearing this, the killing intent in Huang Yaoshi's eyes subsided. Huang Yaoshi was not a good person. Anyone who wandered near Peach Blossom Island was often made deaf and mute by him and forced to work as servants on the island.

"Oh! You are Brother Wang's disciple! What are you doing here?"

"Reporting to Senior, my master received news that Ouyang Feng has decided to kill the Seven Freaks of Jiangnan in the tomb of Island Master Huang's wife, creating a false impression that the Island Master killed them..."

Before Li Mochou could finish, Huang Yaoshi rushed towards Peach Blossom Island in a hurry.

In Huang Yaoshi's life, there were only two people he cared about: his daughter Huang Rong, and his deceased wife.

Hearing this news was like his own house was on fire!

Li Mochou, who remained at the original spot, was stunned for a long time before she came to her senses.

She had also gone to Peach Blossom Island. Originally, she wouldn't have dared, but now she wasn't afraid.

When Li Mochou arrived, she saw the Seven Freaks of Jiangnan lying on the ground and thought they were dead. Her swordplay plans were ruined, and she felt a surge of annoyance.

But then she took a closer look and realized they weren't dead, though they were all seriously injured and wouldn't recover for at least half a year to a year.

The Seven Freaks of Jiangnan's pursuit of Li Mochou had delayed their arrival on the island. Coupled with Huang Yaoshi rushing back at full speed after receiving the news, he happened upon Ouyang Feng attacking them.

After exchanging a couple of moves, Ouyang Feng retreated.

Because they had fought in the tomb in pitch darkness and couldn't see each other, they mistakenly believed Huang Yaoshi intended to kill them.

So they started fighting Huang Yaoshi, and then Guo Jing arrived.

Huang Yaoshi, always arrogant and disdaining to explain anything to anyone, simply admitted it.

The result?

It was a mess, Li Mochou didn't care about any of this. She stepped forward to confirm the Seven Freaks of Jiangnan were not dead, then gave them some basic first aid for their injuries.

Some gossip is best not listened to, and Li Mochou, wisely, slipped away.

Seeking collection, seeking votes.
