Martial Arts: The Secret Villain Starting from Huashan

As time passed, Xu Xingchen saw the light from above becoming clearer and clearer. It was a symbol of freedom and hope. Finally, amidst the tense and rapid breathing,

Xu Xingchen's fingers touched the thick tree trunk on the edge of the cave. He quickly adjusted his posture and bent his arms violently. With the help of this force, he flew out of the long-suppressed cave like an arrow and landed steadily on the solid ground.

The moment he landed, Xu Xingchen took a deep breath of the fresh air outside. It was a long-lost sense of freedom that made him involuntarily stretch his tense body and let out a long breath.

Xu Xingchen stood up straight and looked around. He saw a red sun rising quietly in the eastern sky. The golden sunlight penetrated the mist and sprinkled all over the earth, giving this morning a layer of warm and bright glow.

It turned out that the long time he had spent in the dark and secluded crocodile pond and cave had unknowingly reached the next day.

the other side.

At the bottom of the unfathomable and gloomy cliff, surrounded by thick dark clouds, as if even the light was swallowed up by the endless darkness, Qiu Ganchi and his daughter Gongsun Lue'e stood here.

As far as Qiu Ganchi and Gongsun Lue'e could see, the familiar figure of Xu Xingchen had long disappeared. He seemed to have been completely swallowed up by this desolate land, without a trace.

At this moment, Qiu Ganchi's eyes revealed an indescribable sharpness and determination. Her eyes, which had experienced countless hardships, were now staring at her daughter Gongsun Lue'e beside her.

Gongsun Lu'e's delicate face was full of worry and uneasiness, as if she was worried about Xu Xingchen, as if she was concerned about something, and as if she was trying to find a ray of hope that might exist.

Seeing her daughter Gongsun Lue'e looking worried, Qiu Ganchi couldn't help but feel a complicated emotion in her heart. She sighed softly, but a sneer appeared at the corner of her mouth. It was a smile that was a mixture of helplessness, sarcasm and ridicule.

"not good!!"

Qiu Ganchi said this in a deliberately exaggerated tone.

"It seems that this kid has abandoned us here."

In his words, there was confusion and dissatisfaction with Xu Xingchen's behavior, as well as a hint of testing his daughter's reaction.

There were complex emotions flashing in Qiu Ganchi's eyes, as if he was confused and deeply dissatisfied with Xu Xingchen's sudden action, and there was also a hint of imperceptible temptation.

It seemed that Qiu Ganchi was secretly observing the reaction of his daughter Gongsun Lue'e beside him, trying to find a clue or answer from her expression. Moreover, Qiu Ganchi deliberately filled his words with helplessness and disappointment.

It was as if every word was like a heavy hammer hitting the air around them, echoing endlessly.

However, Gongsun Lue'e's reaction was like a breath of fresh air in spring, which completely overturned Qiu Ganchi's expectations. Facing her mother Qiu Ganchi's doubts and worries, Gongsun Lue'e at this time did not show any signs of wavering or anger.

Instead, she gently shook her small and stubborn head with an unusually firm attitude.

Those eyes, as clear as water, seemed to contain endless stars, flashing with an unquestionable light, which was Gongsun Lu'e's unconditional trust and dependence on Xu Xingchen.

"Mom, Brother Xu is not that kind of person."

She spoke softly, but every word was clear.

The tone was as gentle as the breeze in the morning light, yet it carried a power that could not be ignored. Every word seemed to be carefully crafted, flowing slowly from the deepest part of the heart, gathering into a warm spring of trust.

These few simple words were not only a refutation of his mother Qiu Ganchi's doubts, but also a high recognition and firm protection of Xu Xingchen's character.

Because, in Gongsun Lue'e's heart, she has her own set of standards. She knows very well that if Xu Xingchen is really the kind of person who can easily abandon his companions as her mother Qiu Ganchi just said.

So in countless life-and-death moments in the past, Xu Xingchen had already chosen to escape alone and put himself aside, but the fact was just the opposite. Whenever danger came.

Xu Xingchen always stood in front of her without hesitation, using his strong arms to provide her with a safe sky. Not only did he not abandon her, but he took good care of her all the way and protected her meticulously, making her feel unprecedented peace of mind and warmth.

How could Gongsun Lv'e not remember this deep friendship? Therefore, no matter how her mother Qiu Ganchi questioned and disbelieved her, Gongsun Lv'e firmly believed in her own judgment.

Xu Xingchen is a person who is trustworthy and worthy of entrusting one's life to. There is no hesitation or retreat in Gongsun Lu'e's beautiful eyes, only infinite longing for the future and unwavering trust and support for Xu Xingchen.

Seeing that his daughter Gongsun Lue'e believed in that brat Xu Xingchen so much and even went so far as to defend him, Qiu Ganchi couldn't help but feel a complex emotion flashing across his sharp eyes.

She couldn't help but shake her head gently, as if she was lamenting the passing of time and the impermanence of the world, and as if she was regretting that the innocent girlish feelings were about to be entangled by worldly emotions.

"Ugh--"

With this sigh, endless thoughts surged in Qiu Ganchi's heart. She recalled what she was like when she was young. She once had such reckless impulse and persistence, but now everything has changed.

The years have left deep marks on her, but her daughter, Gongsun Lue'e, is as full of vitality and hope as the rising sun. Her longing for love and expectations for the future make Qiu Ganchi feel both relieved and a little worried.

"Girls really can't be kept when they grow up!!"

These words began to echo repeatedly in Qiu Ganchi's heart, with a sense of helplessness and emotion.

However, as a mother who has experienced many ups and downs, Qiu Ganchi is well aware of the cruelty of the world and the fickleness of human hearts, and she does not want her own tragedy to be repeated on her daughter Gongsun Lue'e.

Even if it means breaking the current harmony and uncovering those truths that may not be good, Qiu Ganchi took a deep breath and decided to try her daughter Gongsun Lue'e again, and continued to tease.

"You silly girl!!"

In Qiu Ganchi's words, pampering and strictness are intertwined into a complex emotional picture. Her eyes show both pure love for her daughter and deep worry after experiencing many vicissitudes of life.

"Don't always be so naive and think that every corner of the world is filled with sunshine and kindness. Child, you have to understand that in this world, the human heart is like a deep ocean."

"The surface may be calm, but underneath there are undercurrents that are hard to predict. You can only know a person's face but not his heart. This is the lesson learned by many predecessors with blood and tears, and it is also the final fate of many people!!"

Qiu Ganchi sighed softly, as if she was recalling those unbearable past events.

"Back then, I was young and full of energy, and I believed that true love was invincible. However, I was deceived by the sweet words of that hypocritical Gongsun Zhi, and stepped into the trap he carefully laid step by step."

"His sweet words were like poison wrapped in honey, which intoxicated me as a mother, but ultimately led to my imprisonment and eternal damnation. This experience is the deepest pain in my life and the scar I am most reluctant to mention."

At this point, Qiu Ganchi's eyes became unusually sharp, as if they could penetrate all the hypocritical masks and look directly into the deepest part of people's hearts. She hoped that these words would ring in Gongsun Lu'e's heart like a wake-up call, allowing her to learn to protect herself and not repeat the same mistakes.

"Now, you have met this boy Xu Xingchen. On the surface, he is very caring and gentle to you, making you feel unprecedented warmth and happiness, but my silly daughter."

"Have you ever thought that there are not so many good things in this world that happen for no reason? Who can guarantee that Xu Xingchen's sincerity is not a flash in the pan, or that he has ulterior motives? Who knows?"

"Xu Xingchen, that brat, has seen through the unstable situation here and is secretly planning how to get out of here safely, leaving you alone here to face the precarious future!"

At this moment, after listening to her mother Qiu Ganchi's earnest and doubtful words, Gongsun Lue'e's beautiful eyes did not waver at all, but became brighter instead. She shook her head firmly, once again denying her mother Qiu Ganchi's doubts.
