This arena is not ordinary

Chapter 173 The Origin of Catkins

"Absolute Beginning Sword Sect?!"

When Liu Xu mentioned this sect, Shen Lin was taken aback.

Absolute Beginning Sword Sect?

He is no stranger to this sect.

This Absolute Beginning Sword Sect is a very mysterious sect in the Jianghu. It is said to be mysterious because it has a high reputation in the Jianghu, but it is very low-key.

As the name suggests, Taichu Sword Sect is a great sect famous for its swordsmanship!

It is rumored that this Absolute Beginning Sword School has the best swordsmanship in the world, and its swordsmanship skills have reached the pinnacle. It has produced many talented masters, and it was also a well-known existence in the Jianghu back then.It's just that in recent years, it has gradually kept a low profile, and it is rare to hear news from the Absolute Beginning Sword Sect.

But even so, it still does not affect the reputation and status of the Absolute Beginning Sword Sect in the arena!
Even because of the low profile of the Absolute Beginning Sword Sect over the years, this sect has become more and more mysterious.

The current situation in the Daning Dynasty is turbulent. Above the court, there are deep conflicts between the emperor and his ministers, fighting openly and secretly.In this rivers and lakes, various sects are also calculating each other and doing their own thing.

In addition, in recent years, some old and prestigious sects have gradually retreated, resulting in the emergence of new sects in the Jianghu, good and bad.

As for a sect as low-key as the Absolute Beginning Sword Sect, news of it is rarely heard nowadays.

Shen Lin suddenly realized something: "You, are you a disciple of the Taichu Sword Sect?!"

"Ah."

Liu Xu nodded coldly, remained silent for a moment, and then calmly said: "I am the direct disciple of the current head of the Taichu Sword Sect."

Shen Lin's face was stunned.

He already knew that Liu Xu had a big background, but he didn't expect it to be so big?

Absolute Beginning Sword Sect?

The direct disciple of the current head? !

No wonder Liu Xu's martial arts are so high, no wonder she is so rich...

The Sword Sect of Taichu has a very high status in Jianghu, and Liu Xu, as a direct disciple of the master, has a self-evident status.

At this time, Shen Lin suddenly remembered not long ago... On the morning when he first met Liu Xu, when he and Xu Pingan were eating noodles at the noodle stall, Xu Pingan once mentioned to him that he kept a low profile for a long time. A disciple was born...

In this way, the unborn disciple that Xu Ping'an mentioned at the time, couldn't it be Liu Xu?
Shen Lin suddenly sat up from the ground again, looking at the bed.

It turns out... is it really her?
"That……"

After being shocked for a short time, Shen Lin seemed to think of something again: "The purpose of your coming down from the teacher's door this time is..."

"Experience!"

Liu Xu spoke calmly.

"Experience?"

Liu Xu lay flat on the bed, staring at the beams, her expression slightly confused for a moment.

"My martial arts has stagnated for a long time, and I have entered a bottleneck period, so I told my master that I want to go down to the rivers and lakes to practice and experience, and to see with my own eyes the directors of hundreds of martial arts schools in the world..."

"Over the years, I have stayed at the mountain gate, and my master has taught me the essence of martial arts in the world, but..."

Liu Xu's eyes drooped slightly: "After all, it's just behind closed doors, maybe this is the real reason why I'm stagnant."

Shen Lin understood.

In the case of Liu Xu, she belonged to a top student who grew up, and was cared for like a flower in a greenhouse since she was a child.Life has never experienced any setbacks, smooth sailing!
However, one day suddenly, when she entered a certain bottleneck period, or perhaps got into a dead end, she began to have doubts about her achievements over the years.

It is indeed useful for her to experience going down the mountain.

Traveling around the rivers and lakes more, seeing all kinds of things in the world, and experiencing the ways of the world will definitely help her practice.

But to Shen Linzhen's astonishment, her martial arts stagnation has been so terrifying for a long time, so if she hadn't stagnated... what kind of state would she be in?

"Of course, there are other reasons..."

Liu Xu calmly said, "In addition to going down the mountain to experience... I'm still looking for my uncle."

Liu Xu had already mentioned this matter to him before.Shen Lin also helped to check the household registration of the county government, but did not find any clues.

"So, did you find it?"

"No."

Liu Xu frowned slightly.

She has searched all over Ping'an County, but still can't find any clues about her relationship with the uncle.

Martial uncle... where did he go?
A trace of worry flashed past, and then, as if thinking of something, Liu Xu turned her head and met Shen Lin's gaze.

For some reason, a panic flashed in her eyes, and she quickly avoided his sight.

"One more thing."

"what?"

Liu Xu calmed down and said slowly, "After a while, you will follow me back to the master's gate."

"Go back to the teacher's door?"

Shen Lin was startled, "Why?"

"Go see my master."

"See your master?"

Shen Lin was stunned, and soon realized something: "Sure, it's not about discussing the wedding date with your master..."

She wants to see her master in a good way?
Isn't this the same as meeting your parents?
So fast?
Liu Xu lowered her eyes and said calmly: "This time I went down the mountain, apart from practicing and finding the whereabouts of my uncle, there is another thing..."

"My master, she hopes that I can marry someone."

Shen Lin suddenly raised his head.

"I don't want to marry someone I don't know, so..."

Liu Xu's eyes fell on Shen Lin again, and she looked at him quietly, without continuing.

But Shen Lin already understood what she meant.

Forced marriage?

Liu Xu was forced into marriage by her master?
At this moment, Shen Lin suddenly remembered Liu Xu's forced marriage not long ago.

Could it be... has something to do with this?

"Don't worry, with me here, I promise to take care of your master!"

After Shen Lin was stunned for a short while, he nodded quickly: "At that time, I will go back to the master's gate with you to meet your master!"

Now that the relationship has reached this point, Shen Lin naturally cannot back down.She has already decided to stay with Liu Xu, so her master will naturally want to see her.

Liu Xu breathed a sigh of relief, and a trace of complexity flashed in her eyes.

This is the first time she disobeyed the meaning of the master.

She didn't want to follow her master's arrangement to marry a stranger she didn't like.

The appearance of Shen Lin also strengthened her idea.

"By the way, can I ask you something?"

Shen Lin suddenly spoke again.

"Ok?"

"Your master...is he fierce?"

Shen Lin asked tentatively.

After making the promise, Shen Lin quickly started to inquire again.

The guarantee is the guarantee, but before that, he has to find out the details of Master Liu Xu in advance, so as not to cause anything to happen.

After all, Liu Xu's master wanted to arrange a marriage for her, but Shen Lin suddenly appeared to disrupt the situation... According to normal circumstances, Liu Xu's master would definitely be angry and turn his face.

Such plots often appear in the clichéd folk chapter novels about beating mandarin ducks with sticks.

Liu Xu thought for a while, then shook her head: "Not fierce."

"That's good."

Shen Lin heaved a sigh of relief, it's fine if he isn't fierce, as long as he isn't some fierce and unreasonable person, everything will be fine.

As long as he is willing to speak the truth, Shen Lin will feel more at ease.

He is not afraid of others reasoning with him.

Liu Xu seemed to have thought of something, hesitated for a moment, and said again: "Master, you really aren't mean to me."

"What about others?"

Liu Xu was silent.

Shen Lin had an ominous premonition: "Speak clearly... What does it mean to be unkind to you, but to others?"

"other people……"

Liu Xu thought for a while, and said, "Everyone who has seen my master's fierceness...are all dead!"

Shen Lin: "..."

"..."

Shen Lin shouted that he was fooled, he was fooled!
He was tricked by this woman!

So much so that Shen Lin even wondered if she did this on purpose tonight... to seduce him to commit a crime?

What do you mean that everyone who saw her fierce master died?
Isn't this simply saying that her master is a cold-blooded devil who kills without blinking an eye?
Shen Lin shuddered. To teach such an excellent apprentice as Liu Xu, how terrifying must her master be?
Liu Xu seemed to see something wrong with Shen Lin's expression, she glanced at him, and a meaningful smile appeared in her heart.

Scared?

"Don't worry, master, she is actually a very nice person, besides..."

Liu Xu seemed to think of something, turned her gaze away, and said calmly, "I will protect you."

"..."

Listen to this, why is it so strange?
Although Liu Xu said that he wanted to protect him, it did sound quite warm.But after careful consideration, it seems that something is wrong.

Doesn't this make him seem incompetent?
Shen Lin was silent for a long time.

In the end, he accepted the fact that... he was indeed quite incompetent now.

……

But the matter has come to this point, it is too late to repent, so I can only accept it.

Shen Lin sighed quietly, then remembered something: "By the way, where have you been during this time?"

Where did Liu Xu go during the time she left?
Shen Lin asked about her whereabouts.

Liu Xu narrowed her eyes slightly, and said calmly, "Revenge."

"revenge?"

Shen Lin was startled, and then realized something.

Revenge for what?

Naturally, it is the revenge of the injury!
"You... went to the Star-Moon Alliance?"

Shen Lin remembered that she had mentioned before that the reason for her injury was related to Xingyuemeng?
"Ah."

Liu Xu nodded coldly.

"Revenge, have you reported it?"

"not yet."

"Then you went to the Star Moon Alliance this time, what did you do?"

Shen Lin was a little apprehensive, the Xingyue League was so powerful in Jianghu that even the imperial court and the major sects in Jianghu could do nothing about it, Liu Xu ran to the Xingyue League alone to take revenge, wouldn't there be some accidents?
Liu Xu's eyes were cold, and he said calmly: "I destroyed the two strongholds of the Xingyue League in Ping'an County, smashed a few of their prostitution dens, and killed a few of their protectors... almost wiped out their Xingyue League here. Power has been uprooted."

Shen Lin: "..."

Shen Lin's eyes were dull and his face was full of astonishment.

You, you are calling me and haven't taken revenge yet?

They have uprooted their influence here, and haven't taken revenge yet?
How big is this hatred?

"That……"

Shen Lin thought for a while, and couldn't help asking: "Then what do you think is revenge?"

Liu Xu had no expression on her face, and a ray of murderous intent emerged in her cold eyes: "My goal is to uproot the entire Star-Moon Alliance, eradicate it as a scourge, and completely wipe it from the rivers and lakes..."

He lowered his eyes, and a trace of unwillingness flashed in his eyes.

She still underestimated the foundation and strength of the Star-Moon Union. It would be very difficult for her to do this alone.

Shen Lin stared blankly.

He really didn't expect Liu Xu's goal to be so grand!
Want to uproot the entire Star-Moon Alliance?

Clean it up? !
For a moment, Shen Lin was terrified... Maybe Liu Xu didn't learn from her master to hold grudges?

Just when Shen Lin was worried, Liu Xu glanced at him suddenly: "What about you?"

"I?"

"During my absence, what happened in Qingshui County? And... what happened to Wu Yuan?"

Liu Xu asked about what happened tonight.

Liu Xu killed someone tonight, but from the beginning to the end, she didn't know exactly who she killed.

Shen Lin briefly mentioned it to Liu Xu in the yard before, but now hearing Liu Xu asked again, Shen Lin sighed: "This is a long story..."

Ever since, Shen Lin started talking to Liu Xu from the beginning.

It started with the grievances with Lu Jianhai, the leader of the Dragon and Tiger Gang, but Shen Lin also omitted some details... such as the escape with Lin Qian, and the warming together in the cave with Lin Qian.Shen Lin automatically chose to ignore these unimportant details.

Then the inner courtyard with Chen Jianghe was mentioned, followed by Wu Yuan...

Shen Lin also told Liu Xu about the series of grievances and grievances with Wu Yuan during this period, including Wu Yuan's origin, identity, and a series of things that happened.

Liu Xu listened quietly, and didn't say much, but there was a bit of coldness in her cold eyes.

Tonight is indeed very dangerous. If she hadn't arrived in time, the consequences would have been disastrous.

"So, now I'm afraid it's a big deal!"

Shen Lin sighed lightly: "Wu Yuan is dead, the Wu family in the capital will definitely not let it go, Xu Pingan wants to take responsibility alone, but things are not so simple..."

Speaking of this, Shen Lin smiled wryly: "Maybe, I have to prepare to run away."

Liu Xu frowned slightly, her eyes were cold and deep.

The Wu family in Beijing?

She does have some impressions.

The Wu family in this capital city has a good reputation in the capital, and the forces behind it are even more intricate and cannot be underestimated.

Now that the second son of the Wu family died here, this is indeed a very difficult matter.

"look……"

Shen Lin thought of something, glanced at Liu Xu, and said with a smile: "I'll just follow you back to the teacher's gate and hide from your teacher's gate... In this way, the Wu family should not be able to do anything to me, right?"

Shen Lin was only joking, but after Liu Xu thought about it carefully, she nodded: "Alright!"

"As long as you are in the Absolute Beginning Sword Sect, no one in the world can touch you!"

Liu Xu's tone was full of confidence and no doubt.

It is worthy of being a powerful and famous sect in the Jianghu, but it has confidence, and even the Minister of the Ministry of Officials does not take it seriously.

"If you say that, then I can rest assured!"

Shen Lin heaved a sigh of relief, but soon thought of something and sighed again.

It might indeed be a good way to hide from the willow catkin master's door, but it is also a helpless way.

Before that, before the matter reached the point of no return, Shen Lin had to think of other ways.

……

early morning.

Early in the morning, Lin Miaomiao got up early.

After getting dressed and washing up, he went to the kitchen to make breakfast.

This is something she would do every day, although Shen Lin felt distressed every time and told her not to do it, but Lin Miaomiao still stubbornly persisted as always.

In this way, Shen Lin could only let her go.

When breakfast was about to be ready, there was the sound of the door opening from the main house behind him.

"Brother Shen Lin, are you awake?"

Lin Miaomiao turned her head with a smile on her face, but soon, she was taken aback.

The person who came out of the room was Liu Xu.

Liu Xu, with a cold expression, glanced at her.

"Sister Liuxu, good morning..."

Lin Miaomiao greeted subconsciously, and just as she was about to say something, another figure came out of the room behind Liu Xu.

It was Shen Lin!

In an instant, Lin Miaomiao's face froze, and the smile on her face froze.

She looked at Shen Lin, then at Liu Xu, as if realizing something, her eyes instantly became complicated.
