Martial Arts: The Secret Villain Starting from Huashan

Then, Xu Xingchen's gaze, through his system's unique [Combat Power Detection Ability], was like the morning light penetrating the mist, and he clearly and carefully examined the gorgeous girl sitting next to Yuan Chengzhi and Xia Qingqing.

She was wearing a flawless snow-white tight-fitting outfit, which seemed to be tailor-made for her, fitting tightly to her graceful figure and outlining her attractive curves. Her face was even more beautiful, like a newly blooming snow lotus, fresh and refined yet still heroic, making her unforgettable at first sight.

Under the perception of Xu Xingchen's unique [Combat Power Detection Ability], the girl's information was slowly unfolding in front of him like a scroll.

Name: Jiao Waner

Martial arts: Jiao family's mental skills, Golden Dragon Claw Dance, Golden Dragon Sword Skills, Golden Dragon Whip Skills, Jiao family's Qinggong

Jianghu combat power: Second-rate early stage

“It’s actually Jiao Wan’er!”

At this time, Xu Xingchen, with his system's unique [Combat Power Detection Ability], immediately knew the person sitting at the same table with Yuan Chengzhi and Xia Qingqing, the gorgeous girl in a snow-white tight-fitting outfit.

It turned out to be Jiao Wan'er, who had a crush on the male protagonist Yuan Chengzhi in the original novel of "The Sword Stained with Royal Blood". This made Xu Xingchen secretly amazed. Moreover, in the original novel of "The Sword Stained with Royal Blood", Jiao Wan'er not only attracted the attention of many readers with her outstanding appearance and extraordinary martial arts.

What is even more touching is her pure yet persistent secret love for the male protagonist Yuan Chengzhi. Seeing this character from the original novel with her own eyes, Xu Xingchen couldn't help but feel more curious and expectant.

As his thoughts slowly drifted away, Xu Xingchen sat in a corner of the inn, his eyes seemed to penetrate the noisy crowd, staring at the untouchable distance. He sighed softly, and this sigh contained helplessness and emotion about the complexity and changeability of the world.

The affairs of the martial arts world have always been turbulent, like the surging waves of the sea, sometimes calm and peaceful, sometimes violent and stormy, making it impossible to predict what will happen next.

Xu Xingchen couldn't help but shake his head and dispel these disturbing thoughts from his mind. After all, everyone has his own path to go, and every story has its own unique trajectory.

He was just a passer-by and could not and did not need to interfere too much in other people's affairs. So, Xu Xingchen turned his attention back to the table in front of him, which was a simple and clean wooden table.

There were a few simple tableware placed on it, quietly waiting for the food to be served, although Xu Xingchen was full of curiosity about the whereabouts of Yuan Chengzhi, Xia Qingqing and Jiao Wan'er.

But Xu Xingchen also knew that he only needed to take care of himself and not interfere too much in other people's affairs.

When those carefully prepared dishes were finally brought to the table by the waiter, an indescribable fragrance filled the air instantly, as if spring flowers were blooming inadvertently.

It was like the tempting aroma of abundant fruits in autumn. This fragrance not only aroused Xu Xingchen's appetite deep in his heart, but also made him reach out and pick up the chopsticks on the table, pick up a piece of brightly colored and fragrant dish and put it into his mouth.

Afterwards, Xu Xingchen poured himself a bowl of clear and transparent wine. He took a sip, and the mellowness and sweetness instantly melted on his tongue, adding a bit of comfort and leisure to the meal.

However, at this beautiful moment, a sudden voice broke the silence around.

"Waiter! Bring us some food. We don't want any meat or fish. Just four vegetarian dishes and two bowls of hot white rice will be enough!"

At this moment, a voice came from the right side of Xu Xingchen's table. The voice was crisp and pleasant, with a familiar tone. Xu Xingchen, who was immersed in the food, was startled. It was not because of the crisis, but because the voice was very familiar.

"Ok?"

Xu Xingchen heard the voice with a hint of doubt and curiosity. He turned his head slightly, and his eyes involuntarily followed the source of the familiar yet slightly mysterious voice.

As the vision gradually became clearer, a woman in a light yellow Taoist robe slowly walked into Xu Xingchen's sight. Although the robe was cut slightly loose, it cleverly outlined her graceful figure, as if every stitch and thread contained extraordinary charm.

Her hair was carefully tied into a simple knot, with a few strands of hair gently hanging down in front of her forehead, adding a touch of gentleness to her. Her fair skin was slightly flushed, as clear and smooth as a newly opened petal, without the slightest flaw, and was breathtakingly beautiful.

This beautiful Taoist nun not only has outstanding appearance, but also extraordinary temperament. Her every move reveals an indescribable sense of elegance and tranquility, as clear and smooth as jade, without a single flaw.

Next to this beautiful Taoist nun, there was a young nun who was also wearing a light yellow Taoist robe. The little nun looked to be only seventeen or eighteen years old, in the prime of her youth. Her delicate face was filled with an innocent smile and curiosity about the world.

Although her appearance was not as stunning as the Taoist nun beside her, she also had her own fresh and refined beauty, like a clear spring in the mountains, which made people's eyes bright. The two walked side by side, the picture was harmonious and beautiful, which made everything around them pale in comparison.

"hehe…!"

Xu Xingchen couldn't help but laugh softly, with a hint of helplessness and surprise in his laughter. His gaze passed through the bustling lobby of the inn and finally fixed on the two Taoist nuns with unique personalities and outstanding looks.

It was none other than Li Mochou, known in the martial arts world as the "Red Snake Fairy," and her inseparable little disciple Hong Lingbo.

"Li Mochou and Hong Lingbo, these two people and I really met each other everywhere in life."

Xu Xingchen muttered to himself in his heart, but his handsome face maintained a calm and composed expression. He had never expected to have a meal and rest in an ordinary inn in this remote town.

What a coincidence that they met, the world-famous "Golden Snake King" Yuan Chengzhi and the famous yet controversial "Red Snake Fairy" Li Mochou, two well-known figures in the martial arts world.

"What day is it today? How come I come to an inn to eat and meet so many acquaintances?"

For a moment, Xu Xingchen couldn't help but shake his head slightly, with a hint of teasing and self-mockery in his words. For Xu Xingchen, today's encounter, although unexpected, made him more expectant and curious about the story that might happen next.

After all, Li Mochou and her young apprentice Hong Lingbo's whereabouts are erratic, and it seems that wherever Li Mochou appears, it seems to indicate that something extraordinary is about to happen.

As his thoughts drifted away, Xu Xingchen's gaze fell on Li Mochou and Hong Lingbo again. After Li Mochou gave instructions to the waiter, she and her apprentice Hong Lingbo found an empty table and were about to sit down.

Li Mochou was about to sit down gracefully, when suddenly a look of surprise flashed across her originally pretty face. Her eyes narrowed slightly, with a sharp light flashing in them.

As if she could see through all the secrets of the world, she quickly fixed her eyes on a lonely table in the inn. The table was filled with all kinds of exquisite dishes, but there was no sign of anyone eating. There seemed to be some unusual smell lingering in the air.

"Little bitch, come out!"

Li Mochou scolded.

The voice was crisp and cold, like ice that instantly penetrated the noisy inn. Every word contained an irresistible power that struck people's hearts directly, this sudden and delicate shout.

Not only did it make everyone present feel a palpitation, but it also made the entire space quiet. As Li Mochou's words fell, an indescribable aura of terror spread.

This force was so strong that before it actually reached anyone in the inn, it had already pierced people's eardrums and resounded directly in their minds.

It was a feeling that made people's souls tremble and their hearts fill with fear, as if something terrible was about to awaken from the darkness. The guests in the inn were so frightened by this sudden scene that they stopped what they were doing and talking.

Some of them stared with eyes wide open, looking at Li Mochou and Hong Lingbo in astonishment; some looked around nervously, trying to find the source of the sound; others turned pale, clenched their fists, fearing that they would be the next to be affected.
