Chapter 27

Listen! The Five Poisons Sect!

And there is also the Crimson Serpent Fairy, Li Mochou.

Yue Yuan could not be certain of the connection between Li Mochou and the Five Poisons Sect at the moment, but given Jin Yong's style, there is a lineage between sects, just like the Quanzhen and later Huashan. However, for Li Mochou and the Five Poisons Sect, Yue Yuan was indeed uncertain.

In the original story, Li Mochou ultimately perished in the无情谷 (Valley of Absolute Affection) among the情花 (Passion Flowers). According to the plot, Li Mochou herself could not have any connection with the Five Poisons.

But now, Yue Yuan had come to this world, and he would not allow Li Mochou to die like that. How could he fail after deciding to save her? That would be a huge blow to a man. Even if Li Mochou herself had no connection with the Five Poisons Sect, and even if her disciple Hong Lingbo also died in the Valley of Absolute Affection, there was still someone who knew about the martial arts manual written by Li Mochou—the "Five Poisons Secret Transmission."

And this person was none other than Lu Wushuang, the girl with the limp, who was sitting in front of him, staring intently at the book in her hands while roasting by the fire.

Lu Wushuang, having stolen the manual, could not have avoided reading the "Five Poisons Secret Transmission." After all, a girl driven by revenge, even while fleeing, would still find time to study the martial arts manual.

Moreover, the subsequent leaders of the Five Poisons Sect, though it was unclear what was wrong with Lan Fenghuang's body, He Tieshou was indeed a disabled girl. Besides this issue, the leaders of the Five Poisons Sect also shared a common trait: extremism.

And the Lu Wushuang in front of him...

Yue Yuan seemed to have thought of something, and his gaze involuntarily fell on Lu Wushuang. The girl in front of him was disabled, and her personality, shaped by her early experiences, was extremely extreme and ruthless, with a sharp tongue. Compared to her cousin Cheng Ying, they were completely different.

Could it be...

Yue Yuan's gaze became extremely strange as he thought that this girl with the limp might become the future leader of the Five Poisons Sect.

For some reason, recalling the personalities and habits of the subsequent leaders of the Five Poisons Sect, and their disabilities, this could easily be related to the Lu Wushuang in front of him. He Tieshou, in particular, was a good example. She was originally a healthy girl, but after becoming the leader of the Five Poisons Sect, one of her hands immediately turned into an iron hand, making her disabled. The reason her legs were not broken was that a limp would make it difficult to use lightness skills, whether for pursuit or escape, reducing their effectiveness.

Guo Xiang could found the Emei Sect, and Lu Wushuang naturally had this opportunity.

Thinking this way, Yue Yuan found it increasingly likely that Lu Wushuang could become the leader of the Five Poisons Sect.

Considering that Li Mochou caused Lu Wushuang's limp, it was highly possible that the future Lu Wushuang would also target her own disciples... not breaking their legs, but their hands!

"..."

"What's wrong? Is everything okay?"

By the fire, Lu Wushuang felt a chill run down her spine under Yue Yuan's intense gaze, making her extremely uncomfortable. She didn't know how her words about Li Mochou's martial arts practice would affect the Taoist in front of her. But his strange gaze was enough to make Lu Wushuang feel uneasy.

"Oh, nothing!"

"I just thought of something interesting!"

Yue Yuan realized that staring at a young girl like this was extremely impolite, so he smiled and returned the "Five Poisons Secret Transmission" to Lu Wushuang, saying, "Here's the manual. I've finished reading it!"

"Uh..."

Startled by Yue Yuan's casual toss of the manual, Lu Wushuang quickly stood up and caught it with both hands. After receiving the manual, she let out a long breath, flipped through the pages, and then carefully put it back in her bosom.

This was not the time to practice martial arts.

Crack!

The sound of branches cracking and sparks flying, Yue Yuan picked up a branch from the side and threw it into the fire to prevent it from going out after a sudden burst.

...

The sound of the stream and the occasional crackling of the fire were very clear in the night.

By the fire.

Yue Yuan and Lu Wushuang had been sitting face to face for nearly two hours.

After discussing the "Five Poisons Secret Transmission" and chatting earlier, the two fell into a silence.

Lifting his head, Yue Yuan glanced at the moon, which was now directly overhead. It was already quite late, at least midnight.

After a while.

"Miss Wushuang, let's chat!"

After being idle for a while, Yue Yuan suddenly spoke to Lu Wushuang.

"..."

Lu Wushuang looked up, somewhat helplessly at the handsome and graceful Taoist in front of her, and said in a low voice, "Didn't we just chat? Do you want me to talk about my childhood as well?"

Earlier, when Lu Wushuang and Yue Yuan were chatting, Yue Yuan had asked detailed questions about her life with Li Mochou, and Lu Wushuang had almost nothing to hide. She could see that this Taoist in golden robes was extremely interested in Li Mochou.

Whether he was upholding justice or had other intentions, Lu Wushuang thought that causing some trouble for Li Mochou, making her temporarily unable to bother her, was a good strategy.

"Uh..."

Yue Yuan was momentarily speechless. The girl had talked a lot, spending a lot of saliva, while he had only asked a few brief questions. Naturally, Lu Wushuang had the upper hand.

Moreover, at this moment, Yue Yuan had no intention of sleeping against a rock. Under the moonlight, it was a romantic time, and he was completely alert, with no hint of sleepiness!

Could he have brought his otaku habits from the real world to this world?

Yue Yuan had to suspect this.

"Or..."

"Let me tell you a story!"

Seeing Lu Wushuang's expression, Yue Yuan knew she wouldn't talk about her childhood. He knew that losing her parents and family was a painful experience for a girl. He wouldn't ask such an insensitive question.

So, after some thought, Yue Yuan decided to tell her a story.

"Ah?!"

"Sure!"

Lu Wushuang was initially stunned, then reacted and nodded after a moment's thought. She was still wary of this Taoist and didn't dare to sleep alone in front of a strange man.

Now, seeing Yue Yuan offer to tell a story, Lu Wushuang, who was also bored, agreed. Honestly, she wanted to know more about this Taoist.

Thus, the two extremely bored people, a man and a woman, began their storytelling session.

"Once upon a time, there was a mountain, a stream, and a family. This family had a beautiful and lovely daughter, and the story begins with this girl."

In a low voice, Yue Yuan pointed to the surroundings and began to tell the story to Lu Wushuang with great seriousness.

In the yellow firelight, Yue Yuan's face, combined with the smile on his lips, looked extremely eerie for a moment.
