Xiaoyao Valley's Eldest Disciple, Gu Yuexuan

Under the bright sunshine and with lush green leaves providing shade, on a fairly smooth path, Li Wei sat in a dilapidated carriage, examining Yellow Paper, while Liu Piaopiao and Zheng Chenglong, like mangy dogs, were sunburnt and listless.

The man rushing to catch the train was muscular.

He was a complete taciturn man; he wouldn't say a word unless Li Wei asked him to. Of course, he also wouldn't tell Li Wei his name.

He already has his own story. Only someone like him would be so preoccupied with worries all the time, and only someone like him would possess such extraordinary skills!

The carriage was bought by Li Wei from an old man. He had a lot of gold and silver in his storage space, which was more than enough to buy another carriage.

While he was at it, Li Wei also inquired about the old man's route to Luoyang. Although there was a map on the Yellow Paper, it only showed the official road. They only had three days, so taking the back roads would save them time.

Throughout the journey, Liu Piaopiao kept secretly observing Li Wei, and whenever Li Wei looked at her, she would look away.

She must be hiding something!

Moreover, Li Wei increasingly felt that he had seen her somewhere before, so he asked her directly. According to the restrictions of the brand, she could not lie, otherwise she would suffer the burning pain of the brand.

Only after asking did Li Wei realize that she had actually met him once before. This Liu Piaopiao was the 'female hooligan' he encountered at the university gate when he rushed to meet Xue Yan.

This result greatly surprised Li Wei. He had a good memory, but the girl had changed so much. Back then, she was incredibly glamorous, exuding a worldly and mature charm.

Now, however, she has an innocent and pure look, just like a student. In the end, Li Wei could only attribute this to the magic of makeup.

The ancient paths were rugged and uneven, and the carriages were nothing like modern cars. After a morning of travel, sitting in one of them felt like my bones were about to fall apart.

Seeing a tea stall nearby where passersby could rest, Li Wei had the muscular man drive over.

Surprisingly, Li Wei saw several familiar faces here.

Curly-haired man, fat man #1, and middle-aged woman.

The three men, dressed in rags and looking exhausted, had clearly been fleeing for their lives overnight. Perhaps only they were lucky enough to escape last night; the rest would certainly have died facing the Black Wind Stronghold Minion.

Moreover, even if these three manage to escape, are they guaranteed to escape death?

Li Wei turned to Liu Piaopiao and asked her.

"What was the time limit for your previous task?"

"12 hours!"

Li Wei understood; these three had clearly failed their mission, and there wasn't much time left in the 12-hour period.

Being deducted 150 points is undoubtedly a death sentence for a newcomer.

Sure enough, before Li Wei even reached the tea stall, the three men suddenly screamed, spat out a mouthful of blood, and collapsed dead.

This was the first time Li Wei had ever seen a Reincarnator wiped out by the power of Shadow Street. There was absolutely no warning. If it were him, he probably wouldn't have been able to withstand such punishment either.

The sudden death of three people turned the once quiet tea stall into a noisy mess.

Among them, a young man dressed differently from the villagers walked a few steps to the three dead men, examined them carefully, and looked thoughtful.

He was originally a customer having tea there when he happened to witness this accident.

"May I ask, which senior was responsible for these murders? Why do you not show yourself? Such brutality against innocent people deserves my wrath! I will seek justice for them!"

The young man was dressed in a long blue cloth robe and black iron boots, his hair tied up with a jade crown, exuding an air of grandeur. Moreover, judging from his breathing, walking posture, and the loud voice he had just spoken...

He's also a master!

Perhaps he's a young hero from some sect!

However, the other party had clearly misunderstood. These three people were not killed by anyone.

No one paid any attention to the young man, and of course, the so-called 'murderous senior' did not appear.

Li Wei was merely looking at the other person's appearance, trying to imagine which character from the game's storyline he might be, when at that moment, the young man saw Li Wei in the carriage.

Not good!

Could this person be mistaking me for the murderer?

However, judging from the other party's expression, it must be true. A reincarnator of Li Wei's level, especially one who has cultivated profound martial arts, cannot conceal his spirit and energy. Moreover, none of the three skills Li Wei has cultivated have reached the Mahayana level, and he has not yet achieved the state of returning to simplicity.

This young man was also a martial artist, so he could naturally see that Li Wei was extraordinary.

"Brother, your skills are truly impressive! But I wonder what grudge these three have against you that led you to kill them so ruthlessly?"

Unable to discern Li Wei's true intentions, the young man inquired.

How could Li Wei explain himself at this point?

Tell him that those three people were executed by the mysterious forces of 'Shadow Street' because they failed to complete their mission?

That explanation is no different from saying you saw a sow speaking human language. The other party is unlikely to believe it, so you might as well just admit it.

However, he needed to say it in a different way. Li Wei quickly came up with an idea.

With a flick of his wrist, Li Wei threw several blood-soaked broadswords away. He jumped out of the car and looked at the broadswords on the ground. The young man clearly had no idea what Li Wei was up to.

"Young hero, these three are villains from Black Wind Stronghold. Last night, they and a group of bandits tried to rob my siblings and me, but I killed them all. Only these three escaped. These are the weapons they used, bearing the inscription 'Black Wind Stronghold.' Because several of my brothers were killed by them, they pursued us relentlessly. In my grief and anger, I killed them without hesitation. Please forgive me, young hero!"

Li Wei looked grief-stricken, and his clothes were tattered from yesterday's battle, which actually made him somewhat believable.

As for the inscriptions on the knife, they did indeed exist. Seeing these, coupled with Li Wei's vivid 'performance,' the young man had some doubts, but he couldn't produce any evidence to refute them.

Seeing this, Li Wei thought to himself that he had managed to get away with it, but he still needed to work harder. Perhaps this young man was a key figure in this mission.

"Young hero, you possess an extraordinary bearing and an aura of righteousness. May I ask which school or sect you studied under? What kind of renowned teacher could have produced such a young hero?" Li Wei asked tentatively.

The young man didn't seem like the type to cheat or deceive, which piqued Li Wei's curiosity. He already had a few candidates in mind, but he still needed the young man to reveal his name.

If we had the Eye of Perception, we wouldn't need to go through all this trouble!

At this moment, the young man replied. Li Wei's flattery had clearly hit the mark. In the ancient martial arts world, tradition and lineage have always been valued, so the young man was naturally pleased with this.

"I am Wuxiazi Gu Yuexuan, a disciple of Wuxiazi of Xiaoyao Valley! May I ask your esteemed name, brother? To be able to annihilate the evil bandits of Black Wind Stronghold is indeed a meritorious deed. If I encountered such villains, I would kill them as well. Isn't the purpose of learning martial arts to eliminate evil and promote good?" The young man's expression was slightly shy, but his words startled Li Wei.

Gu Yuexuan?

Li Wei chuckled inwardly; this time, he'd stumbled upon a big fish!

A dozen minutes later, still at the same tea stall, Li Wei had become quite familiar with Gu Yuexuan. There was no wine at the tea stall, but the owner's pots of clear tea were refreshing and invigorating, like a clear spring soothing the lungs.

Gu Yuexuan really is just like the one described in the game. He hates evil and has a naturally chivalrous heart. Although he hasn't shown much in terms of martial arts skills, his spirit and straightforwardness have won Li Wei's favor.

Back when they played the game, Gu Yuexuan was the person Li Wei admired the most. Now that he had met her in person, he was completely genuine. Under Li Wei's sincere acquaintance, Gu Yuexuan also opened up and started talking.

"So Brother Li is heading to Luoyang City. Perfect timing! I'll be going there after I finish my business with my master. How about we meet at a tavern in Luoyang City in three days and drink our fill? What do you say?"

Li Wei naturally agreed, and after the two arranged a time, Gu Yuexuan left first.

"I know Gu Yuexuan. He's the eldest disciple of Xiaoyao Valley, skilled in Xiaoyao Fist and Palm. He's a very powerful figure. I didn't expect him to be so handsome in person!" Liu Piaopiao got off the carriage at this moment. Li Wei had just strictly forbidden the three of them from speaking.

If the mistake is exposed due to a slip of the tongue, then it would be a loss that outweighs the gain.

However, Li Wei was somewhat surprised that Liu Piaopiao knew Gu Yuexuan.

You play games too?

"That's right, I'm a gaming expert. In the game 'Martial Arts World,' I achieved the Martial Arts Alliance Leader ending without using any cheat codes. Also, I've always dreamed of learning 'Sound Skill' from Four Sages of Xiaoyao Xianyin, and now I finally have the chance to realize that wish!" Liu Piaopiao said excitedly.

"Brother, I've played this game before, but I always slept until the dance competition started, and ended up with a beggar ending!"

Li Wei simply ignored Zheng Chenglong's words.

The muscular man simply shrugged and remained silent.

Could it be that all three of them have played the game 'The Legend of Wulin'? Li Wei pondered.

"Let's go, let's keep going!"

At this point, Luoyang was only a day's journey away.

... Thirteen miles from Luoyang, in a desolate wilderness, several corpses lay exposed to the scorching sun, emitting a foul stench. The clothing on the corpses clearly did not belong to this era.

If Li Wei were here, he would know that these people are all reincarnators like him.

Two people stood beside the body.

One of them was handsome, but his face was full of sinister and menacing features. Behind him followed another person, trembling with fear. You could see that his face was branded with a string of numbers as if by a red-hot iron.

121 "Do you know why I left you all alone?" The handsome man fiddled with a strand of hair in front of his ear, his movement incredibly alluring, just like... a woman.

But he was a man.

Such tone and actions would undoubtedly lead people to mistakenly believe that he is a 'transvestite'.

However, the man behind him didn't dare to utter a sound. Just now, this man had killed those people one by one with his bare hands simply because they said he looked like a eunuch.

This person is not to be trifled with. And those guys who died were asking for it.

Is it worth leaving one's body to rot in the wilderness because of a single sentence?

For a person, only being alive is the most important thing. Dignity and family ties are worthless in the face of life. Therefore, when this transvestite said he would let him go if he became his slave, he agreed without any hesitation.

"Master, I don't know, please enlighten me!" Now a slave, he lowered his head even further.

"Because I need a dog, and you are the most suitable candidate. As long as I complete this task, I can cultivate the 'Sunflower Manual' to its highest level. At that time, those bastards in the Shadow Hall will have to watch their step and give me a piece of their mind, hmph!"
