Martial Arts: The Secret Villain Starting from Huashan

"Do you really want to know?"

Luo Nianqing's voice echoed softly in the quiet air, and every word seemed to carry a heavy weight of emotion, with a subtle yet unignorable tremor.

This trembling, like the gurgling stream under the thin ice that is about to melt in winter, is a subtle disclosure of the secrets and emotions that she has hidden deep in her heart and never told about for a long time. It is a sign that the thoughts that she has chewed over and endured alone day and night have finally found an outlet to release.

Hearing this, a gentle yet firm light flashed in Xu Xingchen's eyes. He nodded gently, almost without daring to use force, for fear that any unnecessary movement would break this fragile yet precious atmosphere.

Then, he slowly stretched out his arms, and in an almost pious posture, tightly embraced Luo Nianqing's seemingly fragile but actually strong body in his arms. His arms were warm and strong.

Xu Xingchen said softly, as if he wanted to use all his strength to support her, give her courage, and let her know that no matter what happened, he was by her side.

"I'm here listening. No matter what it is, I'm willing to face it with you and bear it together."

Xu Xingchen's voice was low and magnetic, and every word seemed to be carefully chosen, gently brushing past Luo Nianqing's ears, giving her endless comfort and encouragement.

"It's... Zuo Lengchan, the famous leader of the Songshan Sect and the leader of the Five Mountains Sword Sect!"

When she said this, it seemed as if an indomitable force quietly awakened in Luo Nianqing's heart. She had experienced countless days and nights of inner struggle, and finally, at that decisive moment.

An unprecedented courage surged in her chest, like the first ray of light before dawn, penetrating the long-standing haze. She carefully wove the doubts and pain hidden deep in her heart into delicate and sincere words.

"It was because of the high and mighty Zuo Lengchan that he used extremely cruel means to deprive them of their lives one by one."

Although Luo Nianqing's voice was soft, it was extremely firm. She turned the pain in her heart into words and spoke them out softly. With every word she said, she felt like a heavy stone had been lifted off her shoulders, and her body and mind gradually became relaxed.

"Zuo Lengchan, so cruel!"

Xu Xingchen said hatefully.

Luo Nianqing, who was in Xu Xingchen's arms, was slightly startled when she heard this. She couldn't help but raise her little head and look at Xu Xingchen's furrowed brows and the anger flashing in his eyes, and an inexplicable emotion surged in her heart.

Then, Luo Nianqing asked back softly with a hint of surprise and confusion in her tone.

"Your Huashan Sect is also one of the Five Mountains Sword Sects. The head of the Songshan Sect, Zuo Lengchan, is the leader of your Five Mountains Sword Sect. Zuo Lengchan's martial arts skills are the best among the Five Mountains. Even your master Yue Buqun is no match for him. How dare you call Zuo Lengchan by his name?"

When she said this, Luo Nianqing's originally clear, pleasant and delicate voice seemed to be gently blown away by a breeze and gradually became lower. Her eyes revealed a barely perceptible confusion and puzzlement.

Qian was not blaming Xu Xingchen, but was deeply confused and puzzled by his sudden change of attitude, because the rules in the martial arts world are as unshakable as iron laws, and the most basic one is the awe of the strong.

This kind of awe is not only a recognition of his own strength, but also a respect for a kind of spiritual power. The name Zuo Lengchan is undoubtedly a well-known existence in today's martial arts world.

Because Zuo Lengchan holds the dual identities of the head of the Songshan School and the leader of the Five Mountains Sword School, his high martial arts skills and great prestige have long been known throughout the world and deeply rooted in the hearts of the people.

Therefore, when Xu Xingchen faced such a strong man, she showed an attitude that was completely different from what Luo Nianqing expected. It was an indifferent and even slightly provocative gesture.

This made Luo Nianqing begin to doubt her own judgment. She tried to find some answers from Xu Xingchen's eyes, but there was only a light of determination and confidence, without any fear or retreat.

However, Xu Xingchen was not shaken at all by this. His eyes became more determined and he spoke softly.

"Nianqing, you don't know that although I am a disciple of Huashan, I am also a man of flesh and blood, with feelings and righteousness. Zuo Lengchan's methods are cruel and he will do anything to achieve his goals."

"Everything he did has long exceeded the bottom line of a martial artist. He used his position as the leader to secretly weaken the strength of the other four sects, attempting to dominate the Five Mountains with the Songshan Sect alone."

"How can anyone respect someone who behaves like this? I am not only being disrespectful by calling him by his name, but I am expressing my utmost disdain and anger for what he did!"

After saying this, Xu Xingchen couldn't help but take a deep breath at this moment, as if trying to calm his inner excitement.

Afterwards, Xu Xingchen couldn't help but raise the corners of his mouth slightly, outlining a gentle arc, and he gently shook the delicate and soft body of Luo Nianqing, the beauty in his arms.

Xu Xingchen's eyes were full of pampering and tenderness, as if he was teasing a docile kitten. It seemed that at this moment, the whole world only consisted of him and Luo Nianqing.

"What? Worried about me?"

Xu Xingchen joked lightly.

The voice was low and magnetic, with a barely perceptible smile and teasing. The words were like a breeze, blowing across the surface of Luo Nian's Qingxin Lake at this moment, causing ripples.

Hearing this, Luo Nianqing's mature and charming face instantly blushed, like the morning glow shining on the blooming peach blossoms, making her look even more charming and beautiful.

She rolled her eyes at Xu Xingchen gently, her bright eyes flickering with complex emotions, including shyness, anger, and a hint of indescribable affection quietly spreading.

"Stop talking so much."

Luo Nianqing said softly.

Although there was a hint of reproach in his tone, there was more of an unconcealable sweetness and happiness.

Luo Nianqing's pair of delicate and slender hands were unconsciously intertwined, as if she was trying to calm the waves in her heart. At this moment, she was no longer the strong woman who was calm and self-controlled in front of outsiders, but a little woman immersed in love.

"Seriously, your martial arts skills are indeed top-notch, and the martial arts you have demonstrated are impressive enough. However, if you really want to be compared with the top masters in the martial arts world."

"For example, compared to the powerful and scheming Zuo Lengchan, you may need to hone your skills more before you can match him. This is because Zuo Lengchan not only has deep internal strength and superb swordsmanship, but also has a myriad of wisdom and strategies that are beyond the reach of ordinary people."

In Xu Xingchen's warm embrace, Luo Nianqing's eyes looked particularly sad, and he said seriously.

"Do not worry!"

Seeing that Luo Nianqing in his arms cared about him, Xu Xingchen couldn't help but smile and spoke.

The voice was gentle and firm, like a warm current gently brushing across Luo Nianqing's heart. Xu Xingchen's words were full of unquestionable strength and comfort, which gradually calmed Luo Nianqing's originally anxious heart.

In this warm and subtle moment, the air was filled with an indescribable feeling. Xu Xingchen and Luo Nianqing's eyes met inadvertently, as if their two hearts were colliding silently.

Stirring up layers of ripples, Xu Xingchen's eyes contained deep tenderness and gentleness, like the warm sunshine in spring, gently falling on Luo Nianqing's body, making her feel a palpitation involuntarily.

Feeling this burning gaze, two red clouds quietly climbed up Luo Nianqing's mature and pretty cheeks. She lowered her little head shyly and quickly turned her little head aside.

Not daring to meet Xu Xingchen's magnetic gaze again, Luo Nianqing's heartbeat quickened for a moment, as if it was about to jump out of her chest. Her delicate hands unconsciously clenched together, her fingertips trembling slightly, revealing her inner panic and nervousness.

At this moment, the whole world seemed to stop. Seeing this, Xu Xingchen raised his lips to a gentle smile. He slowly lowered his head and let his gaze slowly move down along with the deep affection.

Finally, the picture was fixed on Luo Nianqing's face, which was as white as jade and as white as snow. At this moment, time seemed to have really frozen, and all the noise and disturbances were isolated. Only the two of them and this indescribable beauty were left.
