Martial Arts: The Secret Villain Starting from Huashan

Therefore, whenever Li Mochou thought that "The Secret of the Five Poisons" might fall into the hands of others, her heart was filled with unprecedented tension and anxiety. This worry was not groundless, but was based on her deep understanding of the sinister nature of human beings and the world of martial arts.

Li Mochou knew that in this world where the strong prey on the weak, any negligence could become a fatal weakness, so she would hunt down the evil disciple Lu Wushuang and retrieve the "Secret of the Five Poisons" at all costs.

She wanted to ensure that the foundation of her life would not be violated in the slightest. No wonder she was so nervous!

Afterwards, Li Mochou's gaze was cast towards Yang Guo like a sharp blade, and her pretty face looked particularly cold in the sunlight, like frost condensed in winter, without any warmth at all.

She clenched her teeth, and every word seemed to be squeezed out from between her teeth, full of anger.

“Yang Guo, you are here too! What’s the matter? Are you planning to support this evil disciple of mine?”

There was obvious provocation and contempt in Li Mochou's tone. She seemed both surprised and annoyed by Yang Guo's appearance. Her eyes swept over Lu Wushuang, full of disgust and disdain.

At this time, Yang Guo first glanced at Lu Wushuang who was beside him with a confused look on his face, then he turned around, with a faint smile on his face, and slowly spoke to Li Mochou.

"I dare not, I dare not, but Master, you are magnanimous, please forgive her this time!"

Yang Guo's tone was sincere and humble, but his words revealed an unquestionable firmness. He knew that Li Mochou had a strange personality and cruel methods, but he was even more unwilling to see the innocent Lu Wushuang get hurt.

"Uncle Master? How is this possible?"

At this moment, Lu Wushuang, who had reacted, trembled with disbelief in her voice. Her eyes, as clear as autumn water, widened as if she wanted to penetrate the fog in front of her and see the truth.

Lu Wushuang stretched out her slender jade fingers, trembling slightly, and the tips of her jade fingers almost touched the nose of the silly Yang Guo. The mixed emotions of shock and doubt surged in her heart.

"Silly boy, are you from the same sect as Li Mochou?"

Her words were full of disbelief, and every word seemed to be squeezed out from between her teeth, with a bit of unacceptable bitterness. Lu Wushuang's eyes swept back and forth over Yang Guo.

Because, Lu Wushuang tried to find a clue or trace of a lie from his calm face.

"Hahaha……"

At this moment, a burst of clear and hearty laughter, like a ray of warm sunshine in spring, penetrated the solemn and tense atmosphere around, bringing a rare touch of relaxation and joy to this dull space.

There is an indescribable sense of freedom and uninhibitedness in the laughter, which makes people look sideways involuntarily.

At this tense and depressing moment, this clear laughter seemed to have magical power, slowly spreading in the air and gradually calming the restlessness and uneasiness around.

I saw Xu Xingchen sitting at a quaint wooden table in the distance, holding a glass of crystal clear wine and gently shaking the wine in the glass. His posture seemed both leisurely and contented, yet also a bit cynical.

There was a meaningful smile on the corner of his mouth, and his eyes flashed with a cunning light, as if he was enjoying this sudden "good show" and he was just a bystander.

"This girl."

Xu Xingchen's voice sounded slowly in the quiet atmosphere. It was neither high nor low, but like the morning bell and evening drum, it clearly penetrated every corner and allowed everyone present to hear it clearly.

"You are a typical example of 'being in the know'. You were sold out but you still help others count the money!"

There was a hint of teasing in his tone, but more of it seemed like sympathy for Lu Wushuang's situation.

At this moment, Lu Wushuang's pretty face trembled slightly as if a petal was brushed by morning dew. A trace of surprise and confusion flashed in her eyes. She subconsciously turned her head and her gaze fell on Yang Guo, who was standing beside her with a similarly bewildered look on his face, as if he had been struck by lightning.

Yang Guo's expression at this moment was extremely wonderful, his brows were furrowed, his eyes were wide open, and it was obvious that he was completely confused by Xu Xingchen's sudden words just now. He seemed to be suddenly thrown into a huge mystery and could not find the slightest clue.

"The man next to you..."

Xu Xingchen's voice sounded again, and this time, his words flowed slowly like a clear spring in the mountains.

At this moment, every word was clear and powerful, striking people's hearts. Although his tone still maintained a slow rhythm, the deep meaning contained in it could not be ignored.

"He's really not a good person. He's obviously a normal person, but he pretends to be a fool..."

Xu Xingchen continued.

This sentence was like a sharp dagger, directly piercing the tranquility in the air and shocking everyone present. There was a subtle hint of sarcasm and warning in his tone, as if he was revealing to Lu Wushuang a truth that she had not yet noticed.

Hearing this, Lu Wushuang couldn't help but feel a complex emotion welling up in her heart. She looked at Yang Guo with a look of confusion and bewilderment, as if she was trying hard to find the answer.

Yang Guo was even more confused. He had no idea why he was suddenly evaluated like that. He could only stand there helplessly, letting the confusion in his heart surge like a tide.

"Girl, what you are saying is really like 'just out of the dragon's den, and into the tiger's lair'; no, it should be 'just out of the tiger's mouth, and into the wolf's den'!"

As soon as Xu Xingchen finished speaking, the whole scene seemed to be shrouded in his words, filled with an indescribable atmosphere. This sentence was not only an accurate description of Lu Wushuang's current situation, but also a warning and reminder of the difficulties she might encounter in the future.

At this moment, after hearing what Xu Xingchen said, Lu Wushuang's beautiful eyes flashed with anger and confusion. She quickly stretched out her white jade-like finger, and pointed it at Yang Guo beside her with slightly trembling fingertips, saying in disbelief.

"Fool! You...! You and Li Mochou... your fellow disciples, nephews and uncles, actually teamed up to frame me! I trusted you so much, but you betrayed me like this!"

Lu Wushuang's voice was filled with disbelief and deep disappointment, as if even the wind changed color, especially as her tone was a little choked up. Her eyes began to turn red at this moment, tears welled up in her eyes but she stubbornly refused to fall.

At this time, Yang Guo was stunned, and his face turned pale as paper in an instant, because he had never expected that things would develop to this point. His heart was filled with confusion and panic.

He didn't understand why Lu Wushuang suddenly said such a thing, nor did he understand how the young man over there knew that he and Li Mochou were fellow disciples and uncles. How did this happen?

Yang Guo was extremely anxious. He wanted to hold Lu Wushuang's hands tightly, which were as delicate as white jade carvings. However, Lu Wushuang seemed to be touched by something and suddenly shook her hands away.

She threw Yang Guo's hand away, her beautiful eyes flashing with disbelief and deep pain. Yang Guo knew very well that his words and actions at this moment were crucial to clearing up the misunderstanding, and he was afraid that she would leave his sight because of anger or sadness.

"No! Wife! Please listen to my explanation!"

Yang Guo subconsciously began to explain.

"How could I? How could I team up with Li Mochou to harm you? That's not the case!"

His eyes were filled with sincere emotions, as if he wanted to pour out all his inner thoughts to Lu Wushuang. He hoped that through his explanation, Lu Wushuang would believe his innocence and rebuild trust between the two of them.

But at this time, Lu Wushuang's mood became extremely complicated. After listening to Xu Xingchen's words about adding fuel to the fire, she couldn't help but feel a little doubtful. This doubt was not groundless, but came from the various experiences she and Shadan (Yang Guo) had gone through.

Whenever they found a place to rest for a while, as if fate always liked to play a joke on them, the figures of Li Mochou and Hong Lingbo would always follow closely behind them, appearing in their sight like lingering ghosts.

Such coincidences may be explained as accidental once or twice, but this time, after so many times, Lu Wushuang was filled with uneasiness and doubt. She began to wonder if all this was too coincidental, and that there was some unknown conspiracy behind it.
